Description

Vorrichtung zum Verpacken von Gegenständen Device for packaging objects
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verpacken von Gegenständen, insbesondere von Würsten bzw. von zu Würsten geformtem Wurstbrät, welche über eine Zuführeinrichtung in eine Verpackungsstation gelangen,The present invention relates to a device for packaging objects, in particular sausages or sausage meat shaped into sausages, which reach a packaging station via a feed device,
Aus der DE-OS 42 18 783 ist beispielsweise eine Vorrich¬ tung zum Trennen von Würsten von einem Wurstband bekannt. Nach dem. Trennen gelangen diese Würste ungeordnet in eine Verpackungsstation und müssen dort aufwendig von Hand in entsprechende Verpackungsmittel eingelegt und verpackt werden.DE-OS 42 18 783, for example, discloses a device for separating sausages from a sausage strip. After this. When separated, these sausages end up in a disordered packaging station, where they have to be laboriously inserted and packaged in the appropriate packaging.
Eine Verbesserung dieser Einrichtung bietet die P 43 18 301, bei welcher nach dem Trennen die Würste der Größe nach sortiert und in entsprechende Behälter abgefüllt werden.The P 43 18 301 offers an improvement to this device, in which, after separation, the sausages are sorted according to size and filled into appropriate containers.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine weitere Verbesse¬ rung der letztgenannten Erfindung. Insbesondere sollen die Würste vereinzelt und automatisch in ein Verpackungsmittel überführt werden. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, daß in der Verpackungsεtation oberhalb von einem Verpackungsmittel zumindest ein Zellenrad angeordnet und der Zuführein¬ richtung zugeordnet ist, wobei Zellenrad und Verpackungsmittel relativ zueinander bewegbar sind.The present invention relates to a further improvement of the latter invention. In particular, the sausages should be separated and automatically transferred to packaging. To achieve this object, at least one cell wheel is arranged in the packaging station above a packaging means and is assigned to the feed device, the cell wheel and packaging means being movable relative to one another.
In einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist nur ein Zellenrad vorgesehen. Dieses Zellenrad bewirkt eine Vereinzelung der einzelnen Gegenstände, wobei sich die vorliegende Erfindung insbesondere auf Würste bezieht. Auf diese Weise können Würste sowohl in Kunstdarm als auch in Naturdarm verpackt werden. Die Vorrichtung ist aber auch auf Salami oder beispielsweise auch auf sogenannte "Bierkugeln" anwendbar. Es muß nur jeweils das Zellenrad und das Verpackungsmittel entsprechend ausgestaltet sein.In a first embodiment, only one cellular wheel is provided. This cellular wheel effects a separation of the individual objects, the present invention particularly relating to sausages. In this way, sausages can be packaged both in artificial casings and in natural casings. However, the device can also be used on salami or, for example, also on so-called “beer balls”. Only the cellular wheel and the packaging must be designed accordingly.
Der Einfachheit halber befindet sich das Zellenrad zwi¬ schen zwei Seitenwangen, wobei eine entsprechende Drehachse für das Zellenrad in den Seitenwangen drehbar gelagert ist. Dieser Achse kann dann auch gleich ein entsprechender Antrieb zugeordnet sein.For the sake of simplicity, the cellular wheel is located between two side cheeks, a corresponding axis of rotation for the cellular wheel being rotatably mounted in the side cheeks. A corresponding drive can then also be assigned to this axis.
Damit ein kontinuierliches Befüllen der Verpackungsmittel erfolgt, wird das Zellenrad über das Verpackungsmittel be¬ wegt oder, in einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfin¬ dung, das Verpackungsmittel unter dem Zellenrad bei dessen Drehung weggezogen. Beide Ausführungsbeispiele sind als gleichwertig zu betrachten.In order for the packaging means to be filled continuously, the cellular wheel is moved over the packaging means or, in another exemplary embodiment of the invention, the packaging means is pulled away under the cellular wheel when it rotates. Both exemplary embodiments are to be regarded as equivalent.
Wird das Zellenrad bewegt, so befinden sich die Seitenwangen bevorzugt gleitbar an Linearführungen. Sie bilden zusammen mit dem Zellenrad quasi einen Schlitten, der an den Linearführungen hin- und herbewegbar ist.If the cellular wheel is moved, the side cheeks are preferably slidable on linear guides. Together with the cellular wheel, they form a kind of slide that can be moved back and forth on the linear guides.
Letztgenannte Bewegung wird von einem weiteren Antrieb durchgeführt, der beispielsweise mit einem Kugelgewinde¬ trieb verbunden ist. Dieser Kugelgewindetrieb durchsetzt eine entsprechende Gewindebohrung in einem Mitnehmerblock, der wiederum mit einer Seitenwange verbunden ist.The latter movement is carried out by a further drive which is connected, for example, to a ball screw drive. This ball screw drives through a corresponding threaded hole in a driver block, which in turn is connected to a side cheek.
Wie oben erwähnt, sollen mit der vorliegenden Vorrichtung alle möglichen Arten und Formen von Würsten verpackt wer¬ den. In diesem Fall ist es ratsam, wenn das Zellenrad leicht auswechselbar mit den Seitenwangen verbunden ist, da" unterschiedliche Würste auch unterschiedliche Mulden erfordern. Entsprechend sollte auch das Verpackungsmittel ausgestaltet sein. Handelt es sich bei dem Verpackungsmit¬ tel beispielsweise um eine tiefgezogene Folie, so kann in der Verpackungsstation bereits die entsprechende Form für diese Folie integriert sein. Sie bildet dann auch die Mul¬ de zur Aufnahme der Würste aus und ist unterhalb des Zel¬ lenrades angeordnet. Die Form besitzt dann eine Abwick¬ lung, welche der Abwicklung des Zellenrades entspricht. D.h., daß die Scheitelbreite zwischen zwei Mulden des Zel¬ lenrades in etwa der Breite eines Steges zwischen zwei Mulden der Form entspricht.As mentioned above, all possible types and forms of sausages are to be packaged with the present device. In this case, it is advisable for the cellular wheel to be connected to the side cheeks in an easily replaceable manner, since "different sausages also require different troughs. The packaging should also be designed accordingly. If the packaging is, for example, a deep-drawn film, so The appropriate shape for this film can already be integrated in the packaging station, which then also forms the recess for receiving the sausages and is arranged below the cell wheel. The shape then has an unwinding which corresponds to the unwinding of the cell wheel This means that the apex width between two troughs of the cell wheel corresponds approximately to the width of a web between two troughs of the shape.
Da die gesamte Vorrichtung kontinuierlich arbeiten sollte, ist es ratsam, daß neben dem einen Verpackungsmittel noch zumindest ein zweites Verpackungsmittel vorgesehen ist, welches nach dem Befüllen des ersten Verpackungsmittels unter das Zellenrad transferiert wird. Dabei kann das Ver¬ packungsmittel selbst bzw. die entsprechende Form unter das Zellenrad geschoben, oder aber das Zellenrad über ent¬ sprechende Führungsschienen über das zweite Verpackungs¬ mittel verbracht werden.Since the entire device should work continuously, it is advisable that at least one second packaging means is provided in addition to the one packaging means, which is transferred under the cell wheel after the first packaging means has been filled. The packaging means itself or the corresponding shape can be pushed under the cell wheel, or the cell wheel can be brought over corresponding guide rails over the second packaging means.
Wesentlich erscheint auch, daß, falls das Zellenrad rela¬ tiv zum Verpackungsmittel bewegbar ist, die Fördereinrich¬ tung so ausgestaltet ist, daß sie dem Zellenrad folgen kann. Hierzu bietet sich ein Förderband an, dessen Länge je nach Bewegung des Zellenrades veränderbar ist. Hierzu ist eine vordere Umlenkrolle für das Förderband mit einer Achse zwischen den beiden Seitenwangen drehbar gelagert. Ferner umschlingt das Förderband eine hintere Umlenkrolle, dessen Achse wiederum mit einem Antrieb verbunden ist. Zwischen beiden Umlenkrollen bildet das Förderband jedoch eine Schlaufe aus, die mit einem Gewicht belastet ist. Diese Schlaufe bildet eine Reserve für das Förderband, soweit das Förderband dem Zellenrad folgt.It also appears essential that if the cell wheel can be moved relative to the packaging means, the conveyor device is designed such that it can follow the cell wheel. A conveyor belt is suitable for this purpose, the length of which can be changed depending on the movement of the cellular wheel. For this purpose, a front deflection roller for the conveyor belt is rotatably mounted with an axis between the two side cheeks. Further the conveyor belt wraps around a rear deflection roller, the axis of which is in turn connected to a drive. However, the conveyor belt forms a loop between the two deflection rollers, which is loaded with a weight. This loop forms a reserve for the conveyor belt as far as the conveyor belt follows the cellular wheel.
Der Einfachheit halber ist das Gewicht in einem Gestell geführt, wobei das Gestell nahe der Verpackungsstation an¬ geordnet ist.For the sake of simplicity, the weight is guided in a frame, the frame being arranged near the packaging station.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß die entsprechenden An¬ triebe für das Zellenrad und das Förderband aus Servomo¬ toren bestehen.According to the invention it is provided that the corresponding drives for the cellular wheel and the conveyor belt consist of servomotors.
In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung besteht die Zuführeinrichtung aus einem Trichter für Wurstbrät, in dessen Auslaß zwei gegenläufig drehende Zellenräder an entsprechenden Achsen vorgesehen sind. Die oben erwähnten Mulden der Zellenräder bilden zusammen jeweils einen Formraum, in welchem aus dem Wurstbrät die Wurst geformt wird. Beim Weiterdrehen wird dann die Wurst nach unten freigegeben und kann auf das Verpackungsmittel fallen. Hierdurch werden Würste ohne Haut hergestellt und verpackt.In a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the feed device consists of a hopper for sausage meat, in the outlet of which two counter-rotating cell wheels are provided on corresponding axes. The above-mentioned troughs of the cellular wheels each form a molding space in which the sausage is formed from the sausage meat. When turning further, the sausage is released downwards and can fall onto the packaging. This produces and packs skinless sausages.
Es versteht sich von selbst, daß auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die Lage der Mulden bzw. des Formraumes aufeinander abgestimmt sein müssen. Beispielsweise ist dies auch durch eine entsprechende Geschwindigkeitsregelung der Drehung der Zellenräder möglich. Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzug¬ ter Ausführungsbeispiele sowie anhand der Zeichnung; diese zeigt inIt goes without saying that the position of the troughs or of the mold space must also be coordinated with one another in this exemplary embodiment. For example, this is also possible by regulating the rotation of the cell wheels accordingly. Further advantages, features and details of the invention emerge from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and with reference to the drawing; this shows in

Eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung R zum Verpacken von Ge¬ genständen, insbesondere von Würsten 1, weist gem. Fig. 1 eine Zuführeinrichtung 2 sowie eine Verpackungsstation 3 auf. Die Zuführeinrichtung 2 besitzt ein flexibles Förderband 4, welches eine vordere Umlenkrolle 5 und eine hintere Umlenkrolle 6 umschlingt, wobei die hintere Um¬ lenkrolle 6 über einen Antriebsriemen 7 mit einem An¬ triebsrad 8 eines Motors 9 gekoppelt ist.A device R according to the invention for packaging objects, in particular sausages 1, according to FIG. 1 shows a feed device 2 and a packaging station 3. The feed device 2 has a flexible conveyor belt 4 which wraps around a front deflecting roller 5 and a rear deflecting roller 6, the rear deflecting roller 6 being coupled to a drive wheel 8 of a motor 9 via a drive belt 7.
Zwischen der vorderen Umlenkrolle 5 und der hinteren Um¬ lenkrolle 6 bildet das Förderband 4 eine Schlaufe 10, die innerhalb eines Gestelles 11 ein in der Vertikalen ver¬ schiebbares Gewicht 12 umschlingt. Dieses Gewicht 12 ist an zwei Vertikalstangen 13 und 14 geführt. Diese Vertikal¬ stangen 13 und 14 sind im oberen Bereich an einer Halte- rung 15 gelagert, der eine Abstandsrolle 16 zugeordnet ist, welche der besseren Führung der Schlaufe 10 dient. Nach der Abstandsrolle 16 ist das Förderband 4 um zwei weitere Umlenkrollen 17 und 18 gelegt. Eine Achse 19 (siehe Fig. 2) der vorderen Umlenkrolle 5 ist drehbar in zwei Seitenwangen 20 und 21 gelagert. Diese Seitenwangen 20 und 21 nehmen zwischen sich auch ein Zel¬ lenrad 22 auf, welches um eine Achse 23 dreht. In den Um¬ fang des Zellenrades 22 sind Mulden 24 zur Aufnahme der Würste 1 eingeformt.Between the front deflecting roller 5 and the rear deflecting roller 6, the conveyor belt 4 forms a loop 10, which loops around a weight 12 that can be displaced in the vertical direction within a frame 11. This weight 12 is guided on two vertical rods 13 and 14. These vertical rods 13 and 14 are mounted in the upper region on a holder 15, to which a spacer roller 16 is assigned, which serves to better guide the loop 10. After the spacer roller 16, the conveyor belt 4 is placed around two further deflection rollers 17 and 18. An axis 19 (see FIG. 2) of the front deflection roller 5 is rotatably mounted in two side walls 20 and 21. These side walls 20 and 21 also accommodate a cell wheel 22 between them, which rotates about an axis 23. Troughs 24 for receiving the sausages 1 are formed in the periphery of the cellular wheel 22.
Den Seitenwangen 20 und 21 sind jeweils zwei Lagerhülsen 25 und 26 bzw. 25a und 26a angeformt, deren jeweilige Boh¬ rungen von Linearführungen 27 und 28 durchsetzt sind. Hierdurch kann das Zellenrad 22 zusammen mit den Seiten¬ wangen 20 und 21 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles x schlit- tenförmig bewegt werden. Diese Bewegung erfolgt durch einen translatorischen Antrieb 29, der beispielsweise ein Servomotor sein kann. Dieser Antrieb 29 ist mit einem Ku¬ gelgewindetrieb 30 verbunden, der eine entsprechende Ge¬ windebohrung 31 in einem an die Seitenwange 20 angesetz¬ ten Mitnehmerblock 32 durchgreift.The side cheeks 20 and 21 are each formed with two bearing sleeves 25 and 26 or 25a and 26a, the respective bores of which are penetrated by linear guides 27 and 28. As a result, the cellular wheel 22 can be moved together with the side cheeks 20 and 21 in the direction of the double arrow x in a sledge-shaped manner. This movement is carried out by a translatory drive 29, which can be a servo motor, for example. This drive 29 is connected to a ball screw drive 30 which engages through a corresponding threaded bore 31 in a driver block 32 attached to the side cheek 20.
Dem Antrieb des Zellenrades 22 dient ein rotatorischer An¬ trieb 33, der an der Seitenwange 21 festliegt. Bei Bewe¬ gung des Zellenrades 22 in Richtung x wird dieser Antrieb 33 mitgenommen. Auch der Antrieb 33 ist bevorzugt als Ser¬ vomotor ausgebildet.A rotary drive 33, which is fixed on the side cheek 21, serves to drive the cellular wheel 22. When the cell wheel 22 is moved in the direction x, this drive 33 is carried along. The drive 33 is also preferably designed as a servomotor.
Das Zellenrad 22 ist im übrigen leicht auswechselbar aus¬ gestaltet, damit unterschiedlichen Würsten durch unter¬ schiedliche Mulden 24 Rechnung getragen werden kann. Fer¬ ner sind beidseits des Zellenrades 22 Scheren vorgesehen, mittels denen beispielsweise noch vorhandene Wurstbändel abgeschnitten werden können.The cellular wheel 22 is also designed to be easily interchangeable so that different sausages can be accommodated by different troughs 24. Furthermore, 22 scissors are provided on both sides of the cellular wheel, by means of which, for example, sausage strips still present can be cut off.
In Fig. 1 ist ferner gezeigt, daß der besseren Führung der Würste 1 zu dem Zellenrad 2 hin ein Leitblech 34 dient.In Fig. 1 it is also shown that the better guidance of the sausages 1 to the cellular wheel 2 towards a guide plate 34 is used.
Unterhalb des Zellenrades 22 ist in der Verpackungsstation 3 eine Form 35 angeordnet, welche dem Tiefziehen einer nur angedeuteten Folie 36 dient. Die Form 35 bzw. Folie 36 bildet Mulde 37 zur Aufnahme der Würste 1 aus. Dabei ent¬ spricht eine Breite b eines Steges 38 einer Scheitelbreite von Stegen 39 zwischen zwei Mulden 24 des Zellenrades 22. Auf diese Weise wird gewährleistet, daß die Würste 1 aus den Mulden 24 korrekt in die Mulden 37 gelangen.Below the cellular wheel 22, a mold 35 is arranged in the packaging station 3, which is only used for deep drawing indicated foil 36 is used. The shape 35 or film 36 forms trough 37 for receiving the sausages 1. A width b of a web 38 corresponds to an apex width of webs 39 between two troughs 24 of the cellular wheel 22. This ensures that the sausages 1 get correctly out of the troughs 24 into the troughs 37.
Die gesamte Anordnung aus Kugelgewindetrieb 30, Antrieb 29, Zellenrad 22 und Antrieb 33 sowie den Linearführungen 27 und 28 und die Zuführeinrichtung 2 sind bevorzugt an Führungsschienen 40 und 41 angeordnet, an denen entlang sie in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles y bewegt werden können. Hierdurch ist es möglich, eine zweite Form 35a mit einer entsprechenden Folie 36a beim Rücklauf des Zellenrades 22 zu füllen, während die gefüllte Folie 36 aus der Form 35 entnommen und mit einer entsprechenden Deckfolie versehen wird.The entire arrangement of ball screw drive 30, drive 29, cellular wheel 22 and drive 33 as well as the linear guides 27 and 28 and the feed device 2 are preferably arranged on guide rails 40 and 41, along which they can be moved in the direction of the double arrow y. This makes it possible to fill a second mold 35a with a corresponding film 36a when the cellular wheel 22 returns, while the filled film 36 is removed from the mold 35 and provided with a corresponding cover film.
Die Funktionsweise der vorliegenden Erfindung ist folgen¬ de:The mode of operation of the present invention is as follows:
Sobald Würste 1 auf dem Transportband 4 zum Zellenrad 22 gelangen, beginnt dieses Zellenrad 22 zu drehen. Entspre¬ chende Sensoren und Steuerungen übernehmen die Anregung des Antriebs 29 dann, wenn die erste Mulde 24 über der ersten Mulde 37 der Form 35 angekommen ist. Danach erfolgt ein Abrollen des Zellenrades 22 so, daß die Würste 1 geordnet in die Formen 35 gelangen.As soon as sausages 1 reach the cell wheel 22 on the conveyor belt 4, this cell wheel 22 begins to rotate. Corresponding sensors and controls take over the excitation of the drive 29 when the first trough 24 has arrived above the first trough 37 of the mold 35. Then the cell wheel 22 rolls so that the sausages 1 get into the molds 35 in an orderly manner.
Bei der Bewegung des Zellenrades 22 in Richtung x folgt ihm das Förderband 4, wobei sich die Schlaufe 10 teilweise auflöst bzw. unter dem Gewicht 12 wieder vergrößert.When the cellular wheel 22 moves in the direction x, the conveyor belt 4 follows it, the loop 10 partially loosening or increasing again under the weight 12.
Sobald eine Folie 36 gefüllt ist, erfolgt ein Verschieben der gesamten Anordnung über die Form 35a oder aber die Form 35a wird unter das Zellenrad 22 verschoben. Zum Befüllen der Form 35a läuft dann das Zellenrad 22 wieder zurück in die Ausgangslage. Die gesamte Anordnung arbeitet reibungslos und außerordentlich schnell.As soon as a film 36 is filled, the entire arrangement is moved over the mold 35a or the mold 35a is moved under the cell wheel 22. The cell wheel 22 then runs back in to fill the mold 35a the initial situation. The whole arrangement works smoothly and extremely quickly.
In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Verpacken von zu einer Wurst la geformtem Wustbrät 50 gezeigt. Dieses Wurtsbrät 50 befindet sich in einem Trichter 51, wobei einem Trichterauslaß 52 zwei Zellenräder 22a und 22b zugeordnet sind. In diesem Fall bildet der Trichter 51 die Zuführeinrichtung 2.FIGS. 3 and 4 show a device for packaging sausage meat 50 shaped into a sausage la. This sausage meat 50 is located in a funnel 51, two cell wheels 22a and 22b being associated with a funnel outlet 52. In this case, the funnel 51 forms the feed device 2.
Beide Zellenräder 22a und 22b drehen gegenläufig um jeweils eine Achse 53 und 54. Dabei sind sie so angeordnet, daß sich ihre Mulden 24a und 24b sowie ihre Scheitel 55a und 55b immer gegenüberliegen. Hierdurch wird ein Teil des Bräts 50 aktiv in und zwischen zwei Mulden 24a und 24b aufgenommen und umschlossen und zu einer Wurst la geformt. Dies ist in Figur 3 gezeigt.Both cellular wheels 22a and 22b rotate in opposite directions about an axis 53 and 54. They are arranged so that their troughs 24a and 24b and their apices 55a and 55b are always opposite. As a result, part of the sausage meat 50 is actively received in and between two troughs 24a and 24b and enclosed and shaped into a sausage la. This is shown in Figure 3.
Beim Weiterdrehen der Zellenräder 22a und 22b wird die so geformte Wurst nach unten, wie in Figur 4 gezeigt, freigegeben und fällt in eine Mulde 37 der Verpackungsstation 3 bzw. auf die Folie 36. Diese kann dann mit einer Deckfolie verschlossen werden.When the cell wheels 22a and 22b are turned further, the sausage shaped in this way is released downward, as shown in FIG. 4, and falls into a recess 37 of the packaging station 3 or onto the film 36. This can then be closed with a cover film.
Auf diese Weise können aufeinander folgende Mulden 37 gefüllt werden, wobei sich der Trichter mit den Zellenrädern 22a und 22b über die Mulden in Richtung x bewegt. Die Lage der Mulden 37 ist mit der Geschwindigkeit der Zellenräder 22a und 22b abgestimmt. In this way, successive troughs 37 can be filled, the funnel with the cellular wheels 22a and 22b moving in the direction x over the troughs. The position of the troughs 37 is coordinated with the speed of the cellular wheels 22a and 22b.
