Definitions
- Top gripping cartons for accommodating glass bottles normally have side (and end) walls adapted to form a substantially rigid tubular structure. It is often desirable to use a so called clip type article carrier to transport the grouped articles.
- the clip type carrier is normally provided with at least one aperture to receive an upper portion of the article.
- tabs are used to engage the underside of the flange of an article to lock the article in the carton.
- tabs are used to maintain the carton in a set up condition.
- the packaging machine is adapted to feed successive cartons onto a loading station sited on a crate conveying line.
- the cartons are interengaged with bottles contained within these crates during continuous forward feed.
- it is necessary to provide a packaging machine that performs a number of carton set up and loading functions.
- the device may comprise control means for controlling the conveying means so that the carton is loaded during continuous forward movement.
- the device may further comprise a second guide means and guide track positioned at the loading station being oppositely disposed the first guide means and guide track, the second guide means and guide track is provided to load the cartons with at least one article.
- the guide means may comprise a roller follower.
- the carton receiving means may comprise carton engagement means, connected to a reciprocating arm capable of raising and lowering the carton engagement means between the stations.
- the carton engagement means may comprise at least one suction cup and cup holder, the at least one suction cup being connected to a vacuum supply during the carton engagement.
- the carton can vary depending upon the shape and/or quantity of the articles to be packaged and accordingly, a machine in accordance with the present invention is adjustable in numerous respects, so that it can process a wide variety of such cartons.
- the principle dimensions which are likely to be varied are shown in Figure 3a in which "H” is the overall height of the set up carton equivalent to the distance between the top panel and the base panel, "L” is the overall length of the carton when the end flaps are closed.
- H is the overall height of the set up carton equivalent to the distance between the top panel and the base panel
- L is the overall length of the carton when the end flaps are closed.
- the packaging of four articles is achieved by using a carton as shown in Figure 3b.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a machine 2 for processing cartons 10 of the type outlined above.
- the carton 10 is supplied in a flat collapsed condition about fold lines 28 and 29 such that the top panel 12 and first side panel 14 are in a face contacting relationship with second side panel 18 and base panel 20.
- a pair or trio of collapsed cartons is removed from the hopper in direction A illustrated in Figure 4 such that top and bottom walls of each collapsed carton are separated by centrifugal force as the collapsed cartons are rotated.
- the collapsed cartons are rotated at sufficient velocity for the top and bottom panels to be moved apart, thus partly erecting the cartons.
- othre rotary feeders for example EP 0 429 231 can be used instead without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the carton conveyor 38 is adapted to group two pairs of cartons 32 together.
- the conveyor 38 moves each group forward to be transferred to an overhead vacuum plunger unit 50, described below.
- the carton conveyor 38 comprises an endless chain 52 driven by suitable drive means, for example a servo motor (not shown) and an endless series of leading and trailing lugs 54, 56 for receiving the adjacent cartons and maintaining the side walls 14, 18 in a substantially vertical spaced relationship.
- suitable drive means for example a servo motor (not shown) and an endless series of leading and trailing lugs 54, 56 for receiving the adjacent cartons and maintaining the side walls 14, 18 in a substantially vertical spaced relationship.
- the leading side wall 14 comes into contact with the leading lug 54, the trailing lug 56 assumes a position immediately behind the cartons which is, of course, in a set up fully open condition. It will be appreciated that the leading and trailing lugs 54, 56 can contribute to the manipulation of the cartons into a set up condition.
- the group of cartons 32 is then transferred by an overhead vacuum plunger unit 50 (described in greater detail below) to the end panel erection station E, illustrated in Figure 4 and 5.
- the end panels 20, 22 are erected by lowering the grouped cartons onto at least one vertically oriented guide pin 62, 64.
- the guide pins 62, 64 pass through the end most apertures 24 of each carton and come into contact with the end panels 20, 22.
- the guide pins 62, 64 push the end panels 20, 22 in an upwards and outwards direction until the end panel tabs 26, 27 pass through upper apertures 24 and are locked in place with respective apertures.
- the cartons are in a set up condition shown in Figure 1.
- two pairs of guide pins 62 are positioned along opposed transverse end edges of the conveyor belt 66 being adapted to receive the outer end panels of a pair of adjacent cartons.
- two further pairs of guide pins 64 are positioned to receive the inner end panel of each carton.
- pairs of guide pins 68, 70 are mounted on the conveyor 66 in close proximity to and in corresponding locations to the four pairs of guide pins 62, 64 described above.
- the second set of guide pins 68, 70 are adapted to receive the rear mounted pair of cartons, as illustrated in Figure 5. It is envisaged that the guide pins can be altered in number and location to accommodate cartons of differing size and shape.
- the conveyor 66 can be removed as a unit and replaced with an alternative configuration of guide pins thereby reducing change over time and machine down time.
- each crate 82 holds four cartons carrying six bottles each or six cartons carrying four bottles each.
- the vacuum plunger 90 is then released from the cartons, thereby leaving the cartons 32 within the crate 82 as it moves to the outfeed end of the packaging machine.
- FIG. 9a illustrates the completed vacuum cup plate 98.
- the vacuum plate 98 is mounted to a support frame 108 of the vacuum plunger device 90.
- Pegs (not shown) extending from the support frame 108 are interengaged with apertures 110 provided in the vacuum plate 98.
- the arrangement of the pegs and apertures 110 provides for easy attachment and removal of the plate 98 to and from the frame 108.
- the support frame 108 is mounted to the lower extremity of a pair of reciprocating arms 112, 113. Both reciprocating arms 112, 113 are mounted to a fixed plate 114 comprising a pair of mounting brackets 116, 118 disposed in upper and lower portions of the fixed plate 114. Each reciprocating arm 112, 113 passes through the pair of mounting brackets 116, 118, as shown in Figure 8.
- the fixed plate 114 is secured at each of its opposite ends to the upper and lower chain and sprocket sets 92, 94 so that the vacuum plunger devices 90 can be caused to move continuously around the unit 50.
- the cam track 124 is configured to lower the vacuum cup plate 98 and cartons 32 on to the end panel erection station E where the end panels are erected as described earlier. Thereafter, the plate 98 is retracted so that the erected cartons are raised and leave the station and are transported to the carton loading station L. The vacuum cup plate 98 is lowered onto a crate 82 loaded with bottles B. The cartons 32 are then engaged with the bottles B as described above.
- the carton conveyor 38 at the set up station, the guide pin conveyor 66 at the erecting station and the movement of the crates is controlled by suitable control means (not shown) so that their velocities correspond to the forward movement of the vacuum cup plate 98 and cartons 32.
- the time the cartons are required to spend at each station is dictated by the configuration of the cam track 124.
- the cam track 124 which, in this embodiment, is shaped to provide a shallow angle of incline G. It is envisaged that in other embodiments, the angle of incline can be increased (or as the case may be decreased) to decrease (or increase) the loading time.
- a pair of support rails 130, 132 is provided to engage a pair of roller followers 134, 136 mounted onto opposing ends of the support frame 108.
- the support rails 130, 132 are optionally included to maintain the support frame 108 in a substantially horizontal plane and to provide positive feed to the cartons 32 as they are moved downwards to interengage with the bottles contained in the crate 82.
- vertical support is provided by support guides 140 and roller followers 142. The vacuum is then relieved so that the vacuum cups 96 disengage the cartons and the vacuum plunger device 92 continues forward to repeat its cyclical reciprocating action.
- the cartons are secured to complete the packaging operation.
- sensors are provided to ensure that the cartons are in the correct position, in the crate.
- the packaging throughput of the machine is controlled by computer programme(s) which controls the speed of the upper and lower sprocket sets and the throughput of the crates to ensure the cartons are aligned with the crates.
- a different vacuum cup plate 98 is used which can be connected to the machine by means of quick release means outlined above.
- the machine down time is minimised.
- a machine according to the present invention is adjustable in a number of respects so as to be able to process cartons containing numerous configurations and groups of articles to create a range of carton size and shape, for example, four bottles to eight bottles without undue amounts of down time being spent in adjusting the machine.
