Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a packaging machine.
  • the document EP-A-0 149 351 relates to a method and a machine for producing packets of a neighboring type.
  • Such a machine comprises: a device for continuously feeding a series of flat packaging blanks; a device for folding and straightening reinforcement tabs formed in the base panel of each of the blanks; devices for simultaneously advancing two linear series of jars to be packaged, each jar being brought above the corresponding blank; a device for bringing each pot into the corresponding opening made in the base panel; a device for folding the reinforcement tabs on the pots; a device for vertically folding the side walls as well as horizontally a first portion of the top wall; an adhesive application device on the legs and this first upper wall portion; a device for folding a second portion of upper wall over the first; and a device for pressing the two portions on top of each other.
  • the reinforcement tabs are separated from each other and obtained thanks to the openings drilled in the base panel of the packaging blank, these openings serving, in turn, to receive the pots and to keep placed in relation to each other.
  • a device of the type comprising a rotary element and fingers projecting radially, the rotary element being placed below the plan of travel of the blanks and fingers crossing the openings of the base panel.
  • the object of the invention is to produce a packaging of the general type mentioned in the preamble, having reinforcing and positioning projections in the form of a continuous longitudinal beam adjoining the base panel, in its middle part and passing in line with tabs. transverse cut in the base panel opposite each other, superimposed and secured two by two.
  • Another object of the invention is to obtain such packages from blanks only cut, flat, the beams not yet being formed, on a single line or machine on which both beams, positioning the pots and closing the packaging on itself.
  • Another object of the invention is to achieve high rates with good reliability and at satisfactory economic conditions and without, on the contrary, affecting the quality of the packaging produced and the operational safety.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view, from above, of a machine for packaging pots in a packaging forming a jacket with stiffening projections and positioning pots beam-shaped.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating the operation of the machine of Figure 1, the blanks and pots being shown in several successive situations.
  • Figure 3 is a partial perspective view of a device for making a beam on a packaging blank as well as its operation and the process used, blanks being shown in several successive situations.
  • the base panel 3 has stiffening projections and positioning of the pots 1 in the form of a median longitudinal beam 8.
  • the upper panels 6a, 6b overlap each other and are rigidly associated together, by gluing in the example described.
  • One 6a can be narrow to form an internal bonding tab and the other, 6b, wide to constitute the outer panel of the package 1.
  • the lateral parts 9a, 9b are coplanar with the tongues 16a, 16b superimposed and secured together; the lateral zones 13a, 13b project from the plane of the lateral parts 9a, 9b (for example at approximately 90 °); the central area 12 is spaced transversely from this plane and located opposite the tongues 16a, 16b.
  • the pots 2 rest by their bottoms on the side parts 9a, 9b full. Their side walls are, inwards, guided by the free edges of the cutouts 15 in the central zone 12. On their covers are pressed the upper panels 6a, 6b. The side panels 4a, 4b are pressed on their side walls, towards the outside.
  • FIG. 1 A machine in accordance with the invention (FIG. 1) makes it possible to package pots 2 in a package 1 as described on the one hand from a stock of blanks F unfolded flat, beams 8 not formed, stacked in a store, forming part of supply means 17 in blanks and on the other hand of supply 18 in pots.
  • Such a machine comprises a frame 19 extending on the ground along a general horizontal longitudinal direction 20.
  • the machine comprises towards an upstream end 21 the supply means 17 and the supply 18 and, towards the downstream end opposite 22 an outlet conveyor 23 for packages 24 made up of groups of pots 2 surrounded by packages 1.
  • On the frame 19 and along the longitudinal direction 20 extend transfer means 25.
  • the transfer means 25 are preferably continuous operation but can also operate in steps. In operation and for their active parts, they are driven in a general sliding movement along the longitudinal direction 20 and in a certain direction (from left to right in the figures, according to arrow X). This direction X makes it possible to define the "upstream” and “downstream” positions and the "before” and “after” situations to which we refer.
  • the blank magazine can receive these unitarily placed in a vertical plane with the vertical fold lines, the stack extending horizontally.
  • the extraction device 26 may include movable arms and suction cups.
  • the means 29 for feeding pots may comprise two symmetrical sets on either side of the transfer means 25, each having several drive wheels with notches, capable of coming into correspondence with the transfer means 25 for depositing on a blank F driven by these and lying opposite a suitable group of pots 2.
  • the machine further comprises means 38 for pressing the pots 2 on the blanks F to ensure that their relative positions are maintained, extending between the means 29 for feeding the pots and the means 31 for folding and securing.
  • post as it is envisaged here relates to a set of functional means aiming to carry out the functions of folding, gluing, pressing respectively targeted, these different means being able to be nested more or less in each other and s' extend more or less along the longitudinal direction 20.
  • the second and third folding stations 34, 35 are partially nested, the respective folding operations being partly concomitant, the upstream end 34a of the second folding station 34 being located at most 'upstream 35a of the third folding station and the end downstream 34b of the second folding station 34 being located at the most downstream 35b of the third folding station 35. From upstream to downstream there is, consequently, the second folding station 34; then together the second and third stations 34, 35; and, finally, the only third station 35.
  • the gluing station 33 is located downstream from the downstream end 34b of the second folding station 34 and on the third folding station 35 but distant from its downstream end 35b , in particular in its middle part 35c.
  • the stations are not nested or are even spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal direction 20.
  • the gluing station 33 is located between the first and second folding stations 32, 34 .
  • the stations 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37 can be the subject of different variant embodiments.
  • the first station 32 comprises a wheel with lugs of transverse horizontal axis, driven in rotation about its axis, placed below the plane of sliding of the blanks F defined by the transfer means 25, the lugs coming into engagement with the middle part 10.
  • the gluing station 33 includes gluing means located above and in the vicinity of the transfer means 25, directed downwards, capable of gluing the upper faces of the second tongues 16b. These sizing means such as a gun are located after the second station 34, on the third station 35 and the first section 40, before the second section 41.
  • the second station 34 comprises a fixed deflection rail placed just above and close to the plane of sliding of the blanks, extending in the longitudinal direction, in the extension of the lug wheel of the first station 32 while approaching the first section 40 of the transfer means 25 placed facing each other from upstream downstream, so as to interfere with the middle part 10.
  • the third station 35 comprises a fixed ramp having a generally angled shape and which from upstream to downstream passes from a situation above and substantially perpendicular to the rail of deviation of the second station 34 to a situation close to the plane of sliding of the blanks F but separated laterally outwards so as to then cooperate with the first side panel 4a or the first upper panel 6a.
  • the pressing station 36 comprises two horizontal endless bands, movable, stretched between two pairs of wheels with transverse axes, the two active sections of the bands being applied one on the other or close to each other to be able to imprison the pairs of tongues 16a, 16b therebetween for the time necessary for their reciprocal joining thanks to the glue previously deposited.
  • the folding station 37 includes a Shaper in the form of a fixed ramp engaging on the beam 8 to ensure its deployment.
  • the means 30 for folding the side panels comprise two vertical wheels with transverse axes placed on either side of the extension of the second section 41 or of the terminal section.
  • the folding and securing means 31 comprise two horizontal wheels with vertical axes offset relative to each other along the longitudinal direction 20, spaced upward relative to the transfer means 25.
  • the pressing means 38 comprise one or more horizontal mobile endless bands stretched between two pairs of wheels with transverse axes, the active sections of which are spaced from the transfer means 25 by being placed above.
  • the invention also relates to a device for producing a beam 8 on a packaging blank F which comprises, as has already been described, the supply means for blanks 17 and the stations 32, 33, 34, 35, 36. At the output of such a device, devoid of the station 37 for deploying the beam 8, it is folded on the blank F.
