Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungsmaschine für Klapp­schachteln aus faltbarem Material, wie Karton oder dgl., mit im wesentlichen quaderförmigen Gestalt zur Aufnahme insbesondere einer in einen Innenzuschnitt eingehüllten Zigaretten-Gruppe (Stanniolblock), mit einem Zuführförderer zum Zuführen von Klappschachteln zu einem Übergaberevolver, der mehrere Taschen zur Aufnahme je einer Klappschachtel aufweist, und mit einem Trockenrevolver mit Taschen, in welche die Klappschachteln vom Übergaberevolver einführbar sind.The invention relates to a packaging machine for folding boxes made of foldable material, such as cardboard or the like, with a substantially cuboid shape for receiving, in particular, a cigarette group (tin foil block) encased in an inner blank, with a feed conveyor for feeding folding boxes to a transfer turret, which has several Has pockets for receiving a folding box each, and with a dry turret with pockets into which the folding boxes can be inserted by the transfer turret.

Aus der DE-OS 24 40 006 ist eine derartige Verpackungsmaschine bekannt, bei welcher der dort gezeigte Übergaberevolver zur Aufnahme von Zigaretten-Packungen von einer geradlinigen Zuför­derbahn an einen Trockenrevolver dient. Die Packungen werden in Radialrichtung in die offenen Taschen des Übergaberevol­vers eingeführt und nach dem Transport zu einer geeigneten Stelle in Axialrichtung aus den Taschen heraus- und in Ta­schen eines Trockenrevolvers eingeschoben.Such a packaging machine is known from DE-OS 24 40 006, in which the transfer turret shown there is used for receiving cigarette packs from a straight feed path to a dry turret. The packs are in Radially introduced into the open pockets of the transfer turret and after transport to a suitable location in the axial direction out of the pockets and inserted into pockets of a drying turret.

Aus der EP-A 205 766 ist eine Klappdeckelschachtel für Zi­garetten oder dgl. bekannt, deren Längskanten abweichend von der rechteckigen Form abgerundet sind, um dadurch zum einen eine Materialersparnis, zum anderen eine bessere Griffigkeit der Schachtel bzw. ein formschöneres Aussehen zu erzielen. Eine ähnliche Klappschachtel, jedoch mit ab­gewinkelten Kanten ist, aus der EP-A 204 933 bekannt.From EP-A 205 766 a hinged lid box for cigarettes or the like is known, the longitudinal edges of which are rounded differently from the rectangular shape, in order to achieve a material saving on the one hand, and to achieve a better grip on the box or a more elegant appearance on the other. A similar hinged box, but with angled edges, is known from EP-A 204 933.

Es hat sich nun gezeigt, daß die oben beschriebene Verpak­kungsmaschine zwar im Zusammenhang mit den herkömmlichen, rechtwinklig geformten Klappschachteln gute Ergebnisse zeigt, bei Bearbeitung von Klappschachteln mit abgerunde­ten oder abgewinkelten Längskanten jedoch Schwierigkeiten, insbesondere beim Verkleben auftreten.It has now been shown that the packaging machine described above shows good results in connection with the conventional, rectangular-shaped folding boxes, but difficulties arise when processing folding boxes with rounded or angled longitudinal edges, in particular when gluing.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpak­kungsmaschine zu schaffen, die das einwandfreie Herstellen von Klappschachteln ermöglicht, deren Längskanten abgerun­det oder abgewinkelt sind.The invention has for its object to provide a packaging machine that enables the flawless manufacture of hinged boxes, the longitudinal edges of which are rounded or angled.

Die zur Lösung der Aufgabe vorgeschlagene Verpackungsma­schine weist nun einen Übergaberevolver auf, dessen Ta­schen korrespondierend zu den Längskanten der zu verarbei­tenden Packungen geformt sind. Hierbei dreht es sich ins­besondere um den Bereich der Längskanten, die so ausgebil­det sind, daß die Klappschachteln insbesondere in diesem Bereich formschlüssig in den Taschen sitzen. Auf diese Weise werden die frisch verleimten Packungen fixiert ge­halten, so daß im Übergaberevolver ein Kalibrieren statt­findet. Der nachfolgende Trockenrevolver kann mit recht­eckigen Taschen (wie bisher) ausgeführt sein, was den Vor­teil der leichten Umstellbarkeit der Verpackungsmaschine mit sich bringt.The packaging machine proposed to solve the task now has a transfer turret, the pockets of which are shaped corresponding to the longitudinal edges of the packs to be processed. In particular, it revolves around the area of the longitudinal edges, which are designed in such a way that the hinged boxes sit positively in the pockets, particularly in this area. In this way, the freshly glued packs are kept fixed so that calibration takes place in the transfer turret. The following drying turret can be designed with rectangular pockets (as before), which has the advantage that the packaging machine is easy to convert brings with it.

Vorteilhafterweise kann der so ausgebildete Übergaberevol­ver Teilschritte beim Falten übernehmen. Die Klappschach­teln werden hierbei mit beleimten, aber im Bereich der Längskanten und Seitenflächen noch nicht vollständig umge­falteten und fixierten Seitenlappen in die Taschen des Übergaberevolvers eingeführt werden. Sowohl beim Einführen als auch beim letztlichen Schließen der die Seiten der Ta­schen bildenden Backen werden die Seitenlappen in ihre endgültige Lage gefaltet und in dieser Stellung bis zur Übergabe an den Trockenrevolver fixiert.The transfer turret designed in this way can advantageously take over sub-steps during folding. The hinged boxes are inserted into the pockets of the transfer turret with glued but not yet fully folded and fixed side flaps in the area of the longitudinal edges and side surfaces. Both during insertion and when the jaws forming the sides of the pockets are finally closed, the side flaps are folded into their final position and fixed in this position until they are handed over to the dry turret.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vor­richtung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous developments of the device according to the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von zwei in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels der Vor­richtung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Teil-Draufsicht auf einen Übergaberevolver (für die Bearbeitung von Klappschachteln mit ab­gewinkelten Längskanten) mit dazugehörigem Zu­führförderer und Trockenrevolver,
  • Fig. 2 eine teilgeschnittene Seitenansicht des Übergabe­revolvers nach Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 3 eine Teil-Draufsicht auf einen Übergaberevolver für die Bearbeitung von Klappschachteln mit abge­rundeten Längskanten.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to two exemplary embodiments of the device shown in the drawings. It shows:
  • 1 is a partial plan view of a transfer turret (for processing hinged boxes with angled longitudinal edges) with associated feed conveyor and dry turret,
  • 2 is a partially sectioned side view of the transfer turret of FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 3 is a partial plan view of a transfer turret for processing hinged boxes with rounded longitudinal edges.

Die vorliegende Verpackungsmaschine dient zum Herstellen von quaderförmigen Klappschachteln 10 mit abgerundeten oder abgewinkelten Kanten. Derartige "Hardbox"-Packungen dienen vornehmlich zur Aufnahme von Zigaretten.The present packaging machine is used to produce rectangular folding boxes 10 with rounded or angled edges. Such "hard box" packs are used primarily to hold cigarettes.

Wie in den Figuren gezeigt, dreht es sich um Klappschach­teln 10, die abgewinkelte oder abgerundete Längskanten 11, 12, 13 und 14 aufweisen. Die Schachteln 10 werden hierbei auf ihren Rückflächen 15 liegend mit ihren Vorderflächen 16 nach oben zugeführt, wobei die von den Vorderflächen 16 fortragenden Seitenlappen 17, 18 an ihrer Innenfläche mit Leimstellen versehen, aber noch nicht auf die entsprechen­den, mit den Rückflächen 15 verbundenen Seitenlappen ge­faltet und dort fixiert sind.As shown in the figures, it revolves around hinged boxes 10 which have angled or rounded longitudinal edges 11, 12, 13 and 14. The boxes 10 are fed lying on their back surfaces 15 with their front surfaces 16 upwards, the side flaps 17, 18 carrying the front surfaces 16 being provided with glue spots on their inner surface, but not yet folded onto the corresponding side flaps connected to the back surfaces 15 and are fixed there.

Die Zuführung geschieht über einen Zuführförderer 19, aus dem Klappschachteln 10 senkrecht zur Drehachse eines Über­gaberevolvers 20 bewegbar sind.The feed takes place via a feed conveyor 19, from which hinged boxes 10 can be moved perpendicular to the axis of rotation of a transfer turret 20.

Der Übergaberevolver 20 weist beim gezeigten Ausführungs­beispiel sechs Taschen 21 auf, die jeweils von einem Boden 22 und zwei Backen 23, 24 gebildet werden.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the transfer turret 20 has six pockets 21, each of which is formed by a base 22 and two jaws 23, 24.

Die Backen 23, 24 sind schwenkbar auf Zapfen 25, 26 ange­ordnet, die von einer Trägerplatte 27 axial hervorstehen.The jaws 23, 24 are pivotally arranged on pins 25, 26 which protrude axially from a carrier plate 27.

Die Backen 23, 24 werden über Winkelhebel 28, 29 mit end­seitigen Führungsrollen 30, 31 bewegt, die direkt bzw. in­direkt mit einer Nockenscheibe 32 in Eingriff stehen. Die Bewegung der beiden Backen 23, 24 einer jeden Tasche 21 erfolgt somit gleichzeitig.The jaws 23, 24 are moved via angle levers 28, 29 with end-side guide rollers 30, 31 which are directly or indirectly engaged with a cam disk 32. The movement of the two jaws 23, 24 of each pocket 21 thus takes place simultaneously.

Jeder Boden 22 einer Tasche 21 weist an seinen Rändern Formkanten 33, 34 auf, die im wesentlichen der Kontur der (vorderen) Längskanten 13, 14 der Klappschachteln 10 ent­sprechen. Die Backen 23, 24 weisen an ihren freien Enden Formkanten 35, 36 auf, die korrespondierend zu den (rück­wärtigen) Längskanten 11, 12 der Klappschachteln 10 ge­formt sind.Each bottom 22 of a pocket 21 has shaped edges 33, 34 on its edges, which essentially correspond to the contour of the (front) longitudinal edges 13, 14 of the hinged boxes 10. The jaws 23, 24 have shaped edges 35, 36 at their free ends, which are shaped corresponding to the (rear) longitudinal edges 11, 12 of the hinged boxes 10.

Der Trockenrevolver 37, an den die Klappschachteln 10 vom Übergaberevolver 20 übergeben werden, weist eine Vielzahl von Taschen 38 auf, in welche die Klappschachteln 10 axial aus den Taschen 21 des Übergaberevolvers 20 hineingescho­ben werden können. Das Ausschieben aus den Taschen 21 des Übergaberevolvers 20 geschieht hierbei so, daß die Backen 23, 24 nach Erreichen einer geeigneten Relativposition zu einer Tasche 38 des Trockenrevolvers 37 nur leicht geöff­net werden, so daß praktisch keine Reibung mehr zwischen den Klappschachteln 10 und den Innenflächen der Taschen 21 besteht, jedoch ein radiales Herauswandern aus den Taschen sicher vermieden wird.The drying turret 37, to which the folding boxes 10 are transferred by the transfer turret 20, has a large number of pockets 38, into which the hinged boxes 10 can be pushed axially out of the pockets 21 of the transfer turret 20. The pushing out of the pockets 21 of the transfer turret 20 is done so that the jaws 23, 24 are only slightly opened after reaching a suitable relative position to a pocket 38 of the drying turret 37, so that practically no more friction between the hinged boxes 10 and the inner surfaces of the Pockets 21 exists, but radial migration out of the pockets is reliably avoided.

Beim Bewegen einer Klappschachtel 10 vom Zuführförderer 19 in eine Tasche 21 des Übergaberevolvers 20 werden zunächst die Seitenlappen 17, 18 über Faltzungen 39, 40 nach unten abgebogen. Beim Aufpressen der Vorderfläche 16 auf den Bo­den 22 der Tasche 21 pressen die Formkanten 33, 34 die Seitenlappen 17, 18 im Bereich der Vorderlängskanten 13, 14 an. Beim Schließen der Backen 23, 24 werden die Endab­schnitte der Seitenlappen 17, 18 auf die entsprechenden, mit der Rückfläche 15 in Verbindung stehenden Seitenlappen gefaltet und dort fixiert gehalten. Während des Umlaufens der so gefüllten Tasche des Übergaberevolvers in die Posi­tion, in welcher die Klappschachtel 10 in eine Tasche 38 des Trockenrevolvers 37 geschoben wird, ist somit eine Ka­librierung der frisch verleimten Klappschachtel sicherge­stellt. Auf diese Weise können die Taschen 38 des Trocken­revolvers 37 die schon bisher vorgesehene rechteckige Form behalten, so daß eine Umstellung der Maschine auf Packun­gen mit rechteckigem Querschnitt jederzeit möglich ist.When a hinged box 10 is moved from the feed conveyor 19 into a pocket 21 of the transfer turret 20, the side tabs 17, 18 are first bent downwards via folding tongues 39, 40. When the front surface 16 is pressed onto the bottom 22 of the pocket 21, the shaped edges 33, 34 press on the side tabs 17, 18 in the region of the front longitudinal edges 13, 14. When the jaws 23, 24 are closed, the end sections of the side tabs 17, 18 are folded onto the corresponding side tabs connected to the rear surface 15 and held there in a fixed manner. When the pocket of the transfer turret filled in this way rotates into the position in which the folding box 10 is pushed into a pocket 38 of the drying turret 37, calibration of the freshly glued folding box is thus ensured. In this way, the pockets 38 of the drying turret 37 can retain the rectangular shape already provided, so that the machine can be converted to packages with a rectangular cross section at any time.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Übergaberevolvers 20 für die Bearbeitung von Klppschachteln 10 mit abgerun­deten Kanten. Hierbei sind Formkanten 41, 42 bzw. 43, 44 eines Boden 45 bzw. von backen 46, 47 einer Tasche 21 ent­sprechend als Hohlkehlen ausgebildet.Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the transfer turret 20 for processing folding boxes 10 with rounded edges. Molded edges 41, 42 or 43, 44 of a base 45 or of jaws 46, 47 of a pocket 21 are accordingly formed as fillets.
