Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Großpackungen aus einer Gruppe von Kleinpackungen, insbesondere Zigaretten-Packungen, die von einer Außenumhüllung umgeben sind, wobei die Gruppe der Kleinpackungen einer Faltstation zugeführt und fehlerhafte Gruppen identifiziert sowie ausgesondert werden, mit folgenden Merkmalen:

  • die Kleinpackungen sind innerhalb der Gruppe so angeordnet, daß Packungsflächen aller Kleinpackungen der Gruppe auf der in Förderrichtung rückwärtigen Seite sichtbar sind,
  • die Gruppe der Kleinpackungen wird unmittelbar vor dem Verpackungsvorgang oder während des Verpackungsvorgangs bei mindestens an der in Förderrichtung rückwärtigen Seite offener Großpackung hinsichtlich vollständiger und/oder korrekter Ausbildung der Gruppe überprüft.
The invention relates to a method for producing large packs from a group of small packs, in particular cigarette packs, which are surrounded by an outer wrapper, the group of small packs being fed to a folding station and defective groups being identified and separated out, having the following features:
  • the small packs are arranged within the group in such a way that pack areas of all small packs in the group are visible on the rear side in the conveying direction,
  • the group of small packs is checked immediately before the packaging process or during the packaging process with regard to the complete and / or correct formation of the group with at least one large pack open at least on the rear side in the conveying direction.

Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for performing of the procedure.

Ein derartiges Verfahren ist aus der US 3 344 578 bekannt. Dabei wird zur Prüfung der Korrektheit des Inhalts der Großpackungen eine Gruppe von Kleinpackungen einer mechanischen Prüfeinrichtung zugeführt. Da die mechanische Prüfung nur bei ruhender Zigarettengruppe erfolgen kann, muß die Zigarettengruppe im Bereich der Prüfeinrichtung taktweise betrieben werden. In der der Prüfeinrichtung in Förderrichtung nachgeordneten Faltstation wird den nicht als fehlerhaft erkannten Gruppen der Kleinpackungen eine Außenumhüllung zugeführt und um diese gefaltet. Die Großpackungen und fehlerhaften Gruppen von Kleinpackungen werden durch die Faltstation gefördert. Aus der Faltstation treten somit geschlossene Großpackungen und fehlerhafte Gruppen von Kleinpackungen aus, wobei die Großpackungen durch einen Förderturm weitergefördert werden. Die Zuführung der Zuschnitte für die Außenumhüllung im Maschinentakt wird also im Fall einer fehlerhaften Gruppe unterbrochen. Des weiteren setzt die mechanische Prüfung der Gruppen einen Stillstand der Gruppe während der Prüfung voraus.Such a method is known from US 3,344,578. Here is used to check the correctness of the contents of the large packs a group of small packs of a mechanical Test facility supplied. Since the mechanical test only The cigarette group must be at rest be operated intermittently in the area of the test facility. In the downstream of the test facility in the conveying direction Folding station is the groups not recognized as faulty the outer packs are fed to the small packs and around them folded. The large packs and faulty groups of small packs are supported by the folding station. From the folding station closed large packs and faulty Groups of small packs, with the large packs going through a conveyor tower will be funded. The feeding of the blanks for the outer wrapping in the machine cycle is therefore in Interrupted in case of a faulty group. Furthermore, sets the mechanical testing of the groups stopped the group ahead during the exam.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Maßnahmen vorzuschlagen, durch die ohne Beeinträchtigung des Fertigungsablaufs eine Überprüfung des Packungsinhalts einer Packung - Gebinde - und eine einfache, zuverlässige Identifizierung sowie Aussonderung von Fehlpackungen möglich ist.The invention has for its object to propose measures, through the one without affecting the production process Checking the contents of a package - container - and simple, reliable identification and separation incorrect packaging is possible.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren gekennzeichnet durch folgende Merkmale:

  • zur Überprüfung der Gruppe wird die in Förderrichtung rückwärtige Seite der Gruppe der Kleinpackungen durch mindestens ein optoelektronisches Prüforgan, insbesondere durch eine Kamera, abgetastet, <4/
  • bei einer fehlerhaften Gruppe der Kleinpackungen werden die Gruppe in derselben Förderrichtung gefördert und der Verpackungsvorgang fortgesetzt und die Außenumhüllung mit einer an der Außenseite der fertigen Großpackung erkennbaren Markierung versehen,
  • nach Fertigstellung der Großpackung werden die mit einer Markierung versehenen fehlerhaften Großpackungen im Bereich einer Abförderbahn für alle Großpackungen ausgesondert.
To achieve this object, the method according to the invention is characterized by the following features:
  • To check the group, the rear side of the group of small packs in the conveying direction is scanned by at least one optoelectronic test device, in particular by a camera, <4 /
  • in the case of a defective group of small packs, the group is conveyed in the same conveying direction and the packaging process is continued and the outer wrapping is provided with a marking which can be recognized on the outside of the finished large pack,
  • After completion of the large pack, the faulty large packs provided with a marking are discarded for all large packs in the area of a discharge conveyor.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren umfaßt demnach drei Schritte: Zuerst wird der Inhalt der Packung, also die Gruppe von Klein-, insbesondere Zigaretten-Packungen hinsichtlich der Korrektheit berührungslos überprüft. Der Förderprozeß muß also für die Prüfung nicht unterbrochen werden. Bei etwaigen Fehlern wird nach dem Falten einer Außenumhüllung um die Gruppe der Kleinpackungen die Außenumhüllung nach außen sichtbar gekennzeichnet. Die Zuführung der Zuschnitte zur Faltstation muß also bei fehlerhafter Gruppe nicht unterbrochen werden. Später, nach Fertigstellung der Packungen, wird die fehlerhafte identifiziert und ausgesondert.The method according to the invention accordingly comprises three steps: First the content of the pack, i.e. the group of small, especially cigarette packs for correctness checked without contact. The funding process must therefore be for the examination not be interrupted. Any errors will be followed by folding an outer wrapper around the group of small packages the outer casing is clearly marked on the outside. The Feeding the blanks to the folding station must therefore be faulty Group cannot be interrupted. Later, after completion of the packs, the faulty one is identified and discarded.

Die Prüfung des Inhalts der Packung erfolgt unmittelbar vor der Umhüllung derselben, insbesondere im Bereich einer Faltstation. Hier wird ein Prüforgan im Bereich der noch offenen Rückseite der Packung wirksam. Durch die Formation der Kleinpackungen innerhalb der Gruppe derselben können im Bereich einer in Transportrichtung rückwärtigen Längsseite der Packung alle Zigaretten-Packungen erkannt werden, vorzugsweise durch eine Kamera.The contents of the pack are checked immediately before Wrapping the same, especially in the area of a folding station. Here is a test organ in the area of the still open back the pack effective. Due to the formation of the small packs inside the group of the same can be in the area of a transport direction rear long side of the pack of all cigarette packs can be recognized, preferably by a camera.

Im Verlaufe des Verpackungsprozesses wird die fehlerhafte Großpackung, nämlich an der Außenumhüllung derselben, mit einer Markierung versehen. Diese besteht bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung aus einem insbesondere im Bereich einer Ecke umgefalteten Faltlappen der Außenumhüllung. Besonders geeignet ist bei aus dünnem Karton bestehenden Außenumhüllungen von Zigaretten-Stangen ein außenliegender Schließlappen im Bereich einer langgestreckten Seitenwand. Durch Umfalten eines randseitigen Eckbereichs entsteht ein etwa dreieckförmiger Zwickel, der mit der Innenseite nach außen gekehrt ist.In the course of the packaging process, the defective large packaging, namely on the outer casing of the same, with a Mark it. This is in the preferred embodiment the invention from a particularly in the field a folded corner flap of the outer wrapper. Especially is suitable for outer wrappings consisting of thin cardboard of external cigarette sticks in the area of an elongated side wall. By folding over of an edge-side corner area is approximately triangular Gusset that is turned inside out is.

Fehlerhafte Packungen werden außerhalb des Bereichs der Falt- und sonstigen Bearbeitungsvorgänge ausgesondert, nämlich im Bereich einer Abförderbahn.Faulty packs are outside the area of the folding and other processing operations, namely in the area a discharge conveyor.

The blanks for the outer casing 12 are one Taken from magazine 22.

Im Bereich einer anschließenden Faltstation 23 werden Faltungen der Außenumhüllung 12 im Bereich von parallel zur Transportrichtung liegenden, seitwärts gerichteten Stirnflächen durchgeführt sowie auf der in Transportrichtung rückwärtigen Seite. Hierfür sind Faltorgane 24 unterschiedlicher, aber bekannter Art vorgesehen. Diese Faltungen werden im Bereich einer hierauf eingerichteten Faltbühne 25 durchgeführt.In the area of a subsequent folding station 23 Folds of the outer wrapper 12 in the range from parallel to Direction of transport lying, sideways facing end faces performed as well as on the in the direction of transport rear side. For this purpose, folding organs 24 are different, but known type provided. These folds are in the area of a folding stage 25 carried out.

Die fertigen Packungen 13 werden sodann einer Abförderbahn 26 zugeführt. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Packungen 13 durch den Gruppenförderer 18 auf einem Übergabeförderer 27 abgelegt. Dieser besteht aus einem Winkelprofil. Der Übergabeförderer 27 wird mit der Packung 13 längs eines Viertelkreises bewegt unter Drehen der Packung 13 um 90°, so daß diese im Bereich der Abförderbahn 26 aufrecht gestellt ist. The finished packs 13 then become a discharge conveyor 26 supplied. For this purpose, the packs 13 by the group conveyor 18 on a transfer conveyor 27 filed. This consists of an angle profile. The transfer conveyor 27 with the pack 13 along a quarter circle moves while rotating the pack 13 by 90 ° so that this is placed upright in the area of the discharge track 26.

Das vorliegende Ausführungsbeispiel bezieht sich auf die Handhabung von quaderförmigen, langgestreckten (Gebinde-) Packungen 13 mit einer Außenumhüllung 12 aus dünnem Karton. Ein Zuschnitt für diese Umhüllung 12 ist in Fig. 1 gezeigt. Der Zuschnitt ist durch Faltlinien 28 in einzelne Felder zur Bildung von Packungswandungen unterteilt. Es entsteht eine großflächige, rechteckige Oberwand 29, eine entsprechende Bodenwand 30 und eine zwischen diesen angeordnete, langgestreckte Seitenwand 31. Eine gegenüberliegende Seitenwand entsprechender Abmessung wird durch zwei einander in Schließstellung überdeckende Schließlappen gebildet, nämlich aus einem kleineren Oberlappen 32 und einem größeren, die gesamte Seitenwand abdeckenden Unterlappen 33. In Schließstellung liegt der Unterlappen 33 üblicherweise außen, während der schmalere Oberlappen 32 als Stecklasche zwischen Unterlappen 33 und Packungsinhalt eingeschoben ist.The present embodiment relates to the Handling of rectangular, elongated (container) Packs 13 with an outer wrapper 12 made of thin cardboard. A blank for this casing 12 is shown in FIG. 1. The cut is by folding lines 28 into individual fields divided to form packing walls. It arises a large, rectangular top wall 29, a corresponding one Bottom wall 30 and an arranged between them, elongated side wall 31. An opposite one Sidewall of appropriate dimensions is divided by two closing flaps overlapping one another in the closed position formed, namely from a smaller upper lobe 32 and a larger lower tab covering the entire side wall 33. In the closed position, the lower tab 33 usually outside, while the narrower upper lobe 32 as a clip between the lower tab 33 and the contents of the pack is inserted.

Seitlich befinden sich am Zuschnitt Stirnwandlappen 34, 35 unterschiedlicher Gestaltung zur Bildung von kleinflächigen Stirnwänden.There are end wall tabs 34, 35 on the cut side different design to form small areas End walls.

Ein mit einem Rand- oder Eckbereich außenliegender Teil des Zuschnitts der Außenumhüllung 12 wird zur Kennzeichnung einer Fehlpackung durch Umfalten sichtbar verändert. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel dient der außenliegende Unterlappen 33 im Bereich einer Seitenwand zur Markierung einer Fehlpackung. Ein der einen Stirnwand der Packung zugekehrter Eckbereich des Unterlappens 33 wird nach außen umgefaltet, derart, daß ein annähernd dreieckförmiger Zwickel 36 mit der Innenseite des Verpackungsmaterials nach außen gekehrt ist. Durch diese Markierung ist die Fehlpackung leicht identifizierbar.A part of the outside with an edge or corner area The outer wrapper 12 is cut for marking a wrong packaging visibly changed by folding. At the present embodiment is the external one Lower tab 33 in the area of a side wall Marking a bad package. One of the end walls of the Pack facing corner area of the lower tab 33 is folded outwards in such a way that an approximately triangular Gusset 36 with the inside of the packaging material is turned outside. Through this mark the incorrect packaging is easily identifiable.

Wie beschrieben, erfolgt die Aussonderung einer Fehlpackung im Bereich der Abförderbahn 26. Hier ist seitlich neben der Abförderbahn 26 ein Schieber 37 angeordnet. Dieser erfaßt die Fehlpackung an einer Stirnwand und schiebt sie quer zur Förderrichtung seitlich aus. Eine Seitenbegrenzung 38, 39 der Abförderbahn 26 ist mit einer Ausnehmung 40, 41 für den Durchtritt des Schiebers 37 bzw. der Fehlpackung 13 versehen.As described, incorrect packaging is discarded in the area of the discharge conveyor 26.

This is also trained as an elongated profile and open and can be moved away while taking the lower tab 33 with the upward movement.

Der Unterfalter 44 arbeitet zur Herstellung der Markierung bzw. zum Falten des Zwickels 36 mit einem Eckfalter 45 zusammen. Dieser ist ebenfalls als Flachprofil ausgebildet und in Horizontalrichtung hin- und herbewegbar. Ein dem Eckfalter 45 zugekehrter Endbereich des Unterfalters 44 ist mit einer angeschärften, schrägen Faltkante 46 versehen. Diese korrespondiert mit einer entsprechend schräg ausgebildeten und gegensinnig angeschärften Faltkante 47 des Eckfalters 45 zusammen. Unterfalter 44 und Eckfalter 45 sind in versetzten Ebenen (Fig. 9) bewegbar und überlappen einander teilweise während des Umfaltens des Zwickels 36.The subfold 44 works to produce the mark or for folding the gusset 36 with a corner folder 45 together. This is also designed as a flat profile and can be moved back and forth in the horizontal direction. One of those Eckfalter 45 facing end portion of Unterfalter 44 is provided with a sharpened, oblique folding edge 46. This corresponds to a correspondingly sloping one and sharpened folding edge 47 of the Eckfalters 45 together. Unterfalter 44 and Eckfalter 45 are movable in offset planes (Fig. 9) and overlap partially with each other during the folding of the gusset 36.

Zum Falten des Zwickels 36 wird zuerst der Unterfalter 44 unter Mitnahme des Unterlappens 33 aufwärts bewegt. Zugleich wird der Eckfalter 45 aus einer zurückgezogenen Stellung quer, nämlich horizontal bewegt. Bevor der Unterfalter 44 mit dem Unterlappen 33 die Endstellung erreicht, nämlich in einer Schrägstellung des Unterlappens 33, wird dessen im Bereich der Faltkante 46 freie Ecke durch den Eckfalter 45 erfaßt und bei weiterer Bewegung der Faltorgane gegen die Außenseite des Unterfalters 44 umgefaltet (Fig. 9). Der Unterfalter 44 hat währenddessen die obere Endposition erreicht und den Unterlappen 33 in die packungsgerechte (Schließ-)Stellung bewegt. Damit ist eine sichtbare Markierung an der Packung 13 angebracht.To fold the gusset 36, the lower folder 44 is first moving upward with entrainment of the lower tab 33. At the same time, the corner folder 45 is withdrawn from a Position transversely, namely horizontally moved. Before the Unterfalter 44 reaches the end position with the lower tab 33, namely in an inclined position of the lower tab 33 whose in the area of the folded edge 46 free corner through the Eckfalter 45 detected and with further movement of the folding members folded against the outside of the lower folder 44 (Fig. 9). Meanwhile, the lower folder 44 has the upper one End position reached and the lower tab 33 in the pack-appropriate (Closed) position moved. So that is a visible one Mark attached to the pack 13.

Die Überprüfung des Packungsinhalts, nämlich der Gruppe 11, hinsichtlich Vollständigkeit erfolgt nach Bildung der Gruppe 11. Dies kann vor Übernahme der Außenumhüllung 12 durch die Gruppe 11 erfolgen. Vorteilhafter ist aber eine Überprüfung im letzten Moment, nämlich unmittelbar vor dem Schließen der Packung 13 im Bereich der Faltbühne 25. Hier kann die gesamte Gruppe 11 im Bereich der Rückseite erfaßt werden, solange Oberlappen 32 und Unterlappen 33 in horizontaler Position sind.Checking the package contents, namely group 11, with regard to completeness takes place after formation of the Group 11. This can be done before taking over the outer wrapping 12 done by group 11. But one is more advantageous Check at the last moment, just before the Close the pack 13 in the area of the folding platform 25. Here the entire group 11 can be detected in the area of the back be as long as upper lobe 32 and lower lobe 33 in horizontal Position are.

Zur Überprüfung der Gruppe 11 der Packungen dienen vorzugsweise optische Prüfeinrichtungen, nämlich Kameras 48. Vorzugsweise ist eine solche Kamera 48 im Bereich der Faltbühne 25 oberhalb der Bewegungsbahn der Packungen 13 angeordnet. Ein Objektiv ist schräg von oben her auf die (offene) Rückseite der Packung gerichtet.Serve to check group 11 of the packs optical test equipment, namely cameras 48. Such a camera 48 is preferably in the area of the folding stage 25 above the movement path of the packs 13 arranged. A lens is at an angle from above (open) back of the pack.
