Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungsmaschine zum Herstellen von Zigarettenpackungen des Typs Klappschachtel mit Hilfe von Faltaggregaten und -organen zum Falten sowie mit Hilfe von Formaggregaten und -organen zum Formen von Zuschnitten mit runden Packungskanten - Rundkanten - und mit Förderorganen zum Transport von Verpackungsmaterial und teilweise fertigen Packungen.The invention relates to a packaging machine for producing cigarette packs of the folding box type with the aid of folding units and organs for folding and with the aid of forming units and organs for forming blanks with round packing edges - round edges - and with conveying members for transporting packaging material and partially finished packages ,

In der Zigarettenindustrie besteht zunehmend Interesse an der Fertigung von Zigarettenpackungen des Typs Klappschachtel mit unterschiedlicher Gestaltung. Insbesondere geht es um Klappschachteln mit im Querschnitt rechtwinkligen Packungskanten (Standardpackung), mit gerundeten Packungskanten (Rundkantenpackung) und mit abgeschrägten Packungskanten (Oktagonalpackung). Die unterschiedlichen Packungsformen werden häufig in begrenzten Mengen hergestellt. Es besteht deshalb die Notwendigkeit, Verpackungsmaschinen von der Fertigung eines Packungstyps auf die Fertigung eines anderen kurzfristig umzurüsten.In the cigarette industry, there is increasing interest in the production of cigarette packs of the type folding box with different design. In particular, it concerns folding boxes with rectangular edges in the cross section (standard package), with rounded pack edges (round edge packing) and with beveled packing edges (octagonal packing). The different forms of packaging are often produced in limited quantities. There is therefore a need to convert packaging machines from the manufacture of one type of package to the production of another at short notice.

Bekannt ist eine Verpackungsmaschine für die Fertigung von (Blister-)Packungen unterschiedlicher Abmessungen ( DE 199 41 485 A1 ). Die Verpackungsmaschine ist auf die Fertigung der Packungen mit unterschiedlichen Abmessungen eingerichtet. Zu diesem Zweck sind formatabhängige Bauteile der Maschine austauschbar. Die auswechselbaren Maschinenteile weisen Sensoren auf, die durch einen Lesesensor abtastbar sind. Der Lesesensor erkennt einen ldentifikationscode. Durch Anschluss des Lesesensors an eine Steuereinrichtung kann überprüft und angezeigt werden, ob der Wechsel der formatabhängigen Bauteile korrekt durchgeführt wurde.A packaging machine is known for the production of (blister) packs of different dimensions ( DE 199 41 485 A1 ). The packaging machine is designed for the production of packages of different dimensions. For this purpose, format-dependent components of the machine are interchangeable. The replaceable machine parts have sensors that can be scanned by a read sensor. The reading sensor recognizes an identification code. By connecting the reading sensor to a Control device can be checked and displayed whether the change of the format-dependent components was performed correctly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Verpackungsmaschinen für die Herstellung von Zigarettenpackungen des Typs Klappschachtel in einfacher Weise auf die Herstellung von Packungen unterschiedlicher Gestaltung, hinsichtlich der Packungskanten umzustellen.The invention has for its object to convert packaging machines for the production of cigarette packs of the folding box type in a simple manner to the production of packages of different design, with respect to the packing edges.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 definiert.To solve this problem, the device according to the invention is defined by the features of claim 1.

Durch das Stillsetzen der Formataggregate und -organe ist es nicht erforderlich, bei einem Produktionswechsel diese komplexen Organe und Aggregate auszutauschen. Hingegen müssen bestimmte, formabhängige Organe und Aggregate ausgewechselt werden, insbesondere ein Faltrevolver.By stopping the format aggregates and organs, it is not necessary to exchange these complex organs and aggregates during a production change. On the other hand, certain form-dependent organs and aggregates must be replaced, in particular a folding turret.

Die korrekte Stellung der bewegbaren Formaggregate und -organe sowie der auswechselnden formatabhängigen Aggregate wird durch Sensoren überprüft, insbesondere durch Initiatoren. Diese sind mit einem zentralen Rechner verbunden, sodass die korrekte Umstellung der Verpackungsmaschine für den neuen Packungstyps darstellbar ist.The correct position of the movable forming units and members as well as the changing format-dependent units is checked by sensors, in particular by initiators. These are connected to a central computer, so that the correct conversion of the packaging machine for the new pack type can be displayed.

Bei drei unterschiedlichen Faltnevolvem kann die Zuordnung so gewählt sein, dass entweder der eine oder der andere oder beide Tastringe 25, 26 angebracht sind und hieraus ein entsprechendes Kontrollsignal ableitbar istThe correct equipment of the packaging machine with the required folding turret 17 is checked by (non-contact) sensors, in the present case by (two) initiators 23, 24. These are each assigned to a scannable projection, in the present case one of two Tastringen 25, 26 at the Bottom of the folding turret 17. With the help of this monitoring system can centrally, namely recognized or displayed via a central (machine) control 27, whether the correct folding turret 17 is installed for the respective package type. For three different Faltnevolvem the assignment can be chosen so that either one or the other or both Tastringe 25, 26 are mounted and from this a corresponding control signal can be derived

Eine Besonderheit wird hinsichtlich eines anderen Aggregats zum Formen bzw. Vorfalten von Zuschnitten 28 angewendet Es handelt sich um ein Zuschnitt- bzw. Formaggregat ( EP 0 667 230 ) zur Vorformung von Rundkanten bei der Fertigung von Rundkantenpackungen 14 (Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6).A special feature is applied with respect to another unit for shaping or prefolding blanks 28. It is a blank or forming unit ( EP 0 667 230 ) for preforming round edges in the production of round edge packages 14 ( Fig. 4, Fig. 5 . Fig. 6 ).

Das Aggregat ist standardmäßig in der Verpackungsmaschine angeordnet, nämlich im Bereich der Zuschnittbahn zur Zuführung der Zuschnitte 28 aus dem Zuschnittmagazin 16 zum Faltrevolver 17. Die Zuschnitte 28 sind im Bereich einer Formstation unterhalb eines Formkörpers 29 mit abgerundeten (oder abgeschrägten) Längsrändem positioniert. Formwerkzeuge, nämlich Formrollen 30, 31 erfassen seitlich über den Formkörper 29 hinwegragende Faltlappen des Zuschnitts 28 und formen diese durch Aufwärtsbewegung um die Kontur des Formkörpers 29.The unit is arranged by default in the packaging machine, namely in the region of the blank web for feeding the blanks 28 from the blank magazine 16 to the folding turret 17. The blanks 28 are positioned in the region of a forming station below a shaped body 29 with rounded (or bevelled) Längsrändem. Forming tools, namely forming rollers 30, 31 capture laterally over the molding 29 hinwegragende folding tabs of the blank 28 and form them by upward movement about the contour of the molding 29th

Die Formrollen 30, 31 werden durch ein besonders ausgebildetes Getriebe 32 bewegt ( EP 0 667 230 ). Die Besonderheit besteht nun darin, das Getriebe 32 von seinem Antrieb abzukuppeln und somit die Formrollen 30, 31 bei weiterlaufender Maschine still zu setzen. Die Anordnung ist so getroffen, dass die Formrollen 30, 31 bei der Fertigung von Standardpackungen 13 oder Oktagonalpackungen 15 in einer Position gemäß Fig. 5 verharren. Die Formrollen 30, 31, aber auch Betätigungsarme und seitliche Ausrichtorgane sind in einer Position unterhalb der Bewegungsbahn des Zuschnitts 28 still gesetzt. Der ebene, ungefaltete Zuschnitt 28 durchläuft demnach die Formstation, ohne dass die Bearbeitungsorgane, nämlich die Formrollen 30, 31, wirksam werden.The forming rollers 30, 31 are moved by a specially designed gear 32 ( EP 0 667 230 ). The peculiarity is now to decouple the gear 32 from its drive and thus to set the forming rollers 30, 31 at further running machine quiet. The arrangement is such that the forming rollers 30, 31 in the manufacture of standard packages 13 or octagonal packages 15 in a position according to Fig. 5 remain. The shaping rollers 30, 31, but also actuating arms and lateral alignment members are set in a position below the movement path of the blank 28 still. The flat, unfolded blank 28 thus passes through the forming station, without the processing elements, namely the forming rollers 30, 31, take effect.

Das Getriebe 32 ist über ein Betätigungsorgan, nämlich über eine Schubstange 33 mit einem Antrieb verbunden, und zwar über ein weiteres Zwischengetriebe 34 mit einer Welle 35. Diese ist vorzugsweise mit dem zentralen Maschinenantrieb verbunden und läuft ständig um. Das Zwischengetriebe 34 überträgt Antriebsbewegungen über die Schubstange 33 auf das Getriebe 32 der Formwerkzeuge. Wenn diese außer Wirkung gesetzt werden sollen, findet eine Entkupplung im Bereich des Zwischengetriebes 34 statt.The transmission 32 is connected via an actuating member, namely via a push rod 33 to a drive, via a further intermediate gear 34 with a shaft 35. This is preferably connected to the central machine drive and runs around constantly. The intermediate gear 34 transmits drive movements via the push rod 33 to the gear 32 of the molds. If these are to be put out of action, a decoupling takes place in the region of the intermediate gear 34.

Auf der Welle 35 ist eine Kurvenscheibe 36 gelagert. Diese betätigt über eine Kurvenrolle 37 einen Schwenkarm 38, der wiederum mit einer in einem Gehäusestück 39 gelagerten Betätigungswelle 40 verbunden ist. Von dieser wird der Antrieb auf einen Schwenkhebel 41 übertragen, der seinerseits über einen Kugelkopf 42 mit der Schubstange 33 verbunden istOn the shaft 35, a cam 36 is mounted. This actuates a swivel arm 38 via a cam roller 37, which in turn is connected to a control shaft 40 mounted in a housing piece 39. From this, the drive is transmitted to a pivot lever 41, which in turn is connected via a ball head 42 to the push rod 33

Die Entkupplung des Getriebes 32 erfolgt durch Abkuppeln der Betätigungswelle 40 von nachfolgenden Getriebeteilen. Das vom Schwenkarm 38 abliegende Ende der Betätigungswelle 40 ist über eine von außen bedienbare Kupplung mit dem Schwenkhebel 41 verbunden. Dieser ist an einer in Axialrichtung verschiebbaren Hülse 43 angebracht, die zum Kuppeln und Entkuppeln in Axialrichtung auf der Betätigungswelle 40 verschoben wird. Hierzu ist ein Stellorgan vorgesehen, nämlich ein am freien Ende angebrachtes Stellrad 44. Dieses kann von außen von Hand oder mit einem geeigneten Werkzeug durch Drehen betätigt werden. Das Stellrad 44 ist auf einem Tragteil gelagert, nämlich auf einem Gewindestück 45, welches mit dem Ende der Betätigungswelle 40 verbunden ist. Durch Drehen wird demnach das Stellrad 44 aus der einen Endstellung, nämlich der eingekuppelten Stellung (Fig. 6, rechts) in die andere Endstellung der Entkupplung (Fig. 6, links) verstellt. Das Stellrad 44 ist über Druckfedern 46 auf einem Ringlager 47 der Hülse 43 abgestützt.The decoupling of the transmission 32 takes place by uncoupling the actuating shaft 40 from subsequent transmission parts. The remote from the pivot arm 38 end of the actuating shaft 40 is connected via an externally operable coupling with the pivot lever 41. This is at one in the axial direction slidable sleeve 43 is mounted, which is displaced for coupling and uncoupling in the axial direction on the actuating shaft 40. For this purpose, an actuator is provided, namely a mounted at the free end wheel 44. This can be operated from the outside by hand or with a suitable tool by turning. The thumbwheel 44 is mounted on a support member, namely on a threaded piece 45, which is connected to the end of the actuating shaft 40. Turning therefore the adjusting wheel 44 from the one end position, namely the engaged position ( Fig. 6 , right) into the other end position of the decoupling ( Fig. 6 , left). The thumbwheel 44 is supported by compression springs 46 on a ring bearing 47 of the sleeve 43.

Die durch das Stellrad 44 betätigbare Kupplung besteht aus zwei Kupplungsteilen 48 und 49. Ersteres ist mit der Hülse 43 verbunden, das andere Kupplungsteil mit der Betätigungswelle 40, und zwar am Ende derselben. Die Kupplungsteile 48, 49 greifen in eingekuppelter Stellung (Fig. 6, rechts) durch Vorsprünge und Vertiefungen formschlüssig ineinander. Dadurch wird die Drehbewegung der Betätigungswelle 40 auf die Hülse 43 und von dieser auf den Schwenkhebel 41 übertragen. Zum Entkuppeln und Einkuppeln wird demnach die Hülse 43 durch das Stellrad 44 in Axialrichtung verschoben. Die Betätigungswelle 40 kann nach dem Entkuppeln (Fig. 6, links) weiterlaufen.The actuatable by the thumbwheel 44 clutch consists of two coupling parts 48 and 49. The first is connected to the sleeve 43, the other coupling part with the actuating shaft 40, at the end thereof. The coupling parts 48, 49 engage in the engaged position ( Fig. 6 , right) by projections and depressions form fit into each other. As a result, the rotational movement of the actuating shaft 40 is transmitted to the sleeve 43 and from there to the pivot lever 41. For uncoupling and engaging the sleeve 43 is thus displaced by the adjusting wheel 44 in the axial direction. The actuating shaft 40 can after uncoupling ( Fig. 6 , left) continue.

Auch bei diesem Zuschnittaggregat wird die Betriebsstellung hinsichtlich der zu fertigenden Packung überprüft. Zu diesem Zweck sind wiederum zwei Sensoren, nämlich Initiatoren 23, 24 vorgesehen, die durch einen Vorsprung 50 an der Hülse 43 beaufschlagt werden. Je nach Stellung dieses Vorsprungs 50 wird der eine oder andere der Initiatoren 23, 24 beaufschlagt. Ein entsprechendes Signal wird an die zentrale Steuerung 27 gegeben.Also in this cutting unit, the operating position is checked with regard to the package to be manufactured. For this purpose, in turn, two sensors, namely initiators 23, 24 are provided, which are acted upon by a projection 50 on the sleeve 43. Depending on the position of this projection 50, one or the other of the initiators 23, 24 is acted upon. A corresponding signal is given to the central controller 27.

Ein anderes Bearbeitungsaggregat, ebenfalls für die Fertigung von Rundkantenpackungen 14, zeigt Fig. 7. Auch hier ist vorgesehen, dass das Aggregat in der Verpackungsmaschine standardmäßig vorhanden ist und je nach Art der herzustellenden Packung in oder außer Betrieb gesetzt wird.Another processing unit, also for the production of round edge packages 14, shows Fig. 7 , Again, it is provided that the unit in the packaging machine is available as standard and is set depending on the type of pack to be manufactured or out of order.

Es geht hier um die Vorbereitung eines Zuschnitts für einen Kragen 12. Die von einer fortlaufenden Bahn abgetrennten Zuschnitte werden einem Kragenaggregat entsprechend Fig. 7 zugeführt und im Bereich desselben hinsichtlich der zu fertigenden Rundkanten vorbereitet, wobei die Rundkanten zwischen einer Kragen-Vordervvand und Kragen-Seitenlappen angebracht werden. Das Kragenaggregat weist zu diesem Zweck einen feststehenden Formkörper 51 auf, der in der Bewegungsbahn der Kragen 12 positioniert ist und der an beiden Seiten abgerundete Konturen aufweist Überstehende Bereiche des Kragens 12 zur Bildung der Kragen-Seitenlappen werden durch Formwerkzeuge, nämlich durch Rollen 52, 53 durch eine entsprechende Bewegung derselben an die seitlichen, abgerundeten Konturen des Formkörpers 51 angeformt ( EP 0 667 232 ).This is about the preparation of a blank for a collar 12. The cut from a continuous web blanks are a collar aggregate accordingly Fig. 7 fed and prepared in the area of the same with respect to the round edges to be produced, the round edges between a collar Vordervvand and collar side tabs are attached. The collar unit has for this purpose a fixed moldings 51 which is positioned in the path of movement of the collars 12 and which has rounded contours on both sides. Protruding regions of the collars 12 for forming the collar side flaps are formed by forming tools, namely rollers 52, 53 formed by a corresponding movement of the same to the lateral, rounded contours of the shaped body 51 ( EP 0 667 232 ).

Die Rollen 52, 53 sind an Stellhebeln 54, 55 angebracht. Diese werden durch ein besonderes Getriebe 56 in der beschriebenen Weise betätigt. Zu dem Getriebe 56 gehört eine drehend angetriebene Kurvenwalze 57. Diese wiederum wird über ein weiteres Getriebe, nämlich ein Vorgetriebe 58 von einem zentralen Antrieb bewegt. Bei der Fertigung eines Packungstyps ohne Rundkanten - Standardpackung 13 oder Oktagonalpackung 15 - wird der Antrieb für die Rollen 52, 53 stillgesetzt, und zwar in einer Stellung der Rollen 52, 53 unterhalb des Formkörpers 51 (gestrichelt in Fig. 7). Die Entkupplung findet im Bereich des Vorgetriebes 58 statt.The rollers 52, 53 are attached to adjusting levers 54, 55. These are actuated by a special gear 56 in the manner described. To the gear 56 includes a rotationally driven cam roller 57. This in turn is moved via another gear, namely a pre-gear 58 from a central drive. In the manufacture of a package type without round edges - standard pack 13 or octagonal packing 15 - the drive for the rollers 52, 53 is stopped, in a position of the rollers 52, 53 below the molding 51 (dashed in Fig. 7 ). The decoupling takes place in the region of the Vorgetriebes 58.

Die Kurvenwalze 57 wird durch ein Zahnrad 59 angetrieben, welches in Eingriff steht mit einem Zwischenrad 60. Dieses wiederum kämmt mit einem Antriebsrad 61 eines Zentralantriebs.The cam roller 57 is driven by a gear 59, which is in engagement with an intermediate gear 60. This in turn meshes with a drive wheel 61 of a central drive.

Die Entkupplung des Antriebs wird durch Verstellung des Zwischenrads 60 bewirkt, derart, dass dieses außer Eingriff mit dem Antriebsrad 61 gelangt. Zu diesem Zweck wird das Zwischenrad 60 in Axialrichtung verschoben in eine Stellung (gestrichelt in Fig. 7) neben dem Antriebsrad 61. Die Verbindung mit dem in Axialrichtung entsprechend bemessenen Zahnrad 59 bleibt bestehen.The decoupling of the drive is effected by adjustment of the intermediate gear 60, such that this disengages from the drive wheel 61. For this purpose, the intermediate gear 60 is displaced in the axial direction in a position (dashed in Fig. 7 ) in addition to the drive wheel 61. The connection with the appropriately dimensioned in the axial direction gear 59 remains.

Zur Durchführung dieser Verschiebung ist das Zwischenrad 60 auf einer Achse, nämlich Hohlachse 62 angebracht. Diese ist in einer Tragwand 63 des Maschinengestells in Axialrichtung verschiebbar. Auf der einen Seite ist ein Betätigungsorgan 64 mit der Hohlachse 62 verbunden. Das Betätigungsorgan 64 wird von Hand in Axialrichtung verstellt und ist am Ende mit einer entsprechenden Verbreiterung ausgebildetTo carry out this displacement, the intermediate gear 60 is mounted on an axle, namely hollow axle 62. This is displaceable in a supporting wall 63 of the machine frame in the axial direction. On the one hand, an actuator 64 is connected to the hollow shaft 62. The actuator 64 is adjusted by hand in the axial direction and is formed at the end with a corresponding broadening

Das Betätigungsorgan 64 ist derart mit dem zu verstellenden Zwischenrad 60 verbunden, dass Drehbewegungen des Zwischenrads 60 nicht auf das Betätigungsorgan übertragen werden. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Achse des Zwischenrads 60 als Hohlachse 62 ausgebildet, in die das Betätigungsorgan 64 mit einem Zentrierstück 66 eintritt. Eine klauenartige Verbindung 65 ermöglicht die Übertragung von Axialkräften, lässt aber relative Drehbewegungen zu.The actuator 64 is connected to the intermediate wheel 60 to be adjusted so that rotational movements of the intermediate gear 60 are not transmitted to the actuator. For this purpose, the axis of the intermediate gear 60 is formed as a hollow shaft 62, in which the actuating member 64 enters with a centering piece 66. A claw-type connection 65 allows the transmission of axial forces, but allows relative rotational movements.

Zur Überprüfung der durch die herzustellende Packung bedingten, korrekten Stellung des Getriebes bzw. der Kupplung sind wiederum zwei Initiatoren 23, 24 vorgesehen. Diese sind einer Verdickung bzw. einem Tastrand 67 am Ende der Hohlachse 62 zugeordnet. Diese ragt mit einer entsprechenden Länge durch eine Öffnung in der Tragwand 63 hindurch. Je nach Stellung der Hohlachse 62 und damit des Zwischenrads 60 wird der eine oder andere Initiator 23, 24 durch den Tastrand 67 beaufschlagtIn order to check the correct position of the gearbox or clutch caused by the package to be produced, two initiators 23, 24 are again provided. These are assigned to a thickening or a tread edge 67 at the end of the hollow axle 62. This protrudes with a corresponding length through an opening in the support wall 63 therethrough. Depending on the position of the hollow shaft 62 and thus of the intermediate gear 60, one or the other initiator 23, 24 is acted upon by the sensing edge 67

Beide Beispiele gemäß Fig. 4, 5 und 6 einerseits sowie gemäß Fig. 7 andererseits sind mit einer Sicherung der entkuppelten Organe bzw. Getriebeteile versehen, so dass diese in einer bestimmten, für den Betneb der Verpackungsmaschine angemessenen Stellung verriegelt sind. Bei dem Beispiel der Fig. 6 wird der Schwenkhebel 41 in der unwirksamen Stellung durch einen Arretierstift 68 in dem Gehäusestück 39 verankert. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 7 ist der Arretierstift 68 an einer Gehäusewand angebracht und tritt in eine Bohrung des Zwischenrads 60 ein, wenn dieses in der entkuppelten Position sich befindet. Die Arretierung der in bestimmter Relativstellung festzusetzenden Organe bzw. Räder erfolgt durch die Verschiebung selbst relativ zu einem feststehenden Arretiersüft 68 oder dergleichen.Both examples according to Fig. 4, 5 and 6 on the one hand and according to Fig. 7 On the other hand, provided with a backup of the decoupled organs or transmission parts, so that they are locked in a certain, suitable for Betneb the packaging machine position. In the example of Fig. 6 becomes the pivot lever 41 anchored in the inoperative position by a locking pin 68 in the housing piece 39. In the embodiment of the Fig. 7 For example, the locking pin 68 is attached to a housing wall and enters a bore of the intermediate gear 60 when in the decoupled position. The locking of the festzusetzenden in certain relative position organs or wheels is done by the displacement itself relative to a fixed Arretiersüft 68 or the like.

Fig. 8 zeigt ein besonderes Beispiel, bei dem auf einer drehenden Welle oder Achse angeordnete Organe für bestimmte Packungstypen entfernt werden müssen. Es wird dabei so vorgegangen, dass die betreffende Achse 69, 70 mit dem auf dieser angeordneten Organ ganz oder teilweise aufgrund einer in besonderer Weise ausgebildeten Kupplung entfemt wird. Fig. 8 shows a particular example in which organs arranged on a rotating shaft or axis have to be removed for certain types of packs. In this case, the procedure is such that the respective axis 69, 70 with the organ arranged thereon is completely or partially removed due to a coupling designed in a special way.

Das Aggregat gemäß Fig. 8 findet Einsatz im Zusammenhang mit der Herstellung von Rundkantenpackungen 14. Eine fortlaufende Materialbahn 71 wird durch Werkzeuge bearbeitet. Bei dem gezeigten Beispiel dient die Materialbahn 71 zum Herstellen der Kragen 12. Das Aggregat ist demnach im Fertigungsablauf dem in Fig. 7 gezeigten Kragenaggregat vorgeordnet. Es geht um die Herstellung von durch Prägen geschaffenen Rillen im Bereich der herzustellenden Rundkanten. Hierfür sind drehende Rillwerkzeuge, nämlich korrespondierende Rillwalzen 72, 73 jeweils zu beiden Seiten, nämlich unterhalb und oberhalb der Materialbahn 71 positioniert.The unit according to Fig. 8 finds use in connection with the production of round edge packages 14. A continuous material web 71 is machined by tools. In the example shown, the material web 71 is used to produce the collar 12. The unit is therefore in the production process in the Fig. 7 shown collar aggregate upstream. It is about the production of grooves created by embossing in the area of the round edges to be produced. For this purpose, rotary creasing tools, namely corresponding creasing rollers 72, 73 are respectively positioned on both sides, namely below and above the material web 71.

Die Rillwalzen 72, 73 sind angetrieben. Die untere Achse 70 ist funktionell eine Welle, die durch ein Antriebszahnrad 74 angetrieben ist Über die Materialbahn 71 werden die oberen Rillwalzen 72 ebenfalls angetrieben unter entsprechender Drehung der oberen Achse 69.The creasing rollers 72, 73 are driven. The lower axle 70 is functionally a shaft which is driven by a drive gear 74. Via the material web 71, the upper creasing rollers 72 are also driven with corresponding rotation of the upper axle 69.

Die Enden der Achsen 69, 70 bzw. der (unteren) Welle sind in seitlichen Gehäusewänden 75, 76 drehend gelagert. Ein Abschnitt der Achsen 69, 70, in dem beide Rillwalzen 72, 73 angebracht sind, nämlich ein Achsstück 77, 78, ist (mit den Rillwalzen 72, 73) abnehmbar. Die Enden der Achsstücke 77, 78 sitzen zu diesem Zweck in Halterungen bzw. seitlichen Tragstücken 79, 80 als Vertängerung der Achsen 69, 70. Die Tragstücke 79, 80 sind jeweils drehbar in den Gehäusewänden 75, 76 gelagert und weisen auf der den Achsstücken 77, 78 zugekehrten Seiten konische Vertiefungen auf. In diese treten formschlüssig entsprechend konisch ausgebildete Kupplungsenden 81, 82 der Achsstücke 77, 78 ein.The ends of the axes 69, 70 and the (lower) shaft are rotatably mounted in side housing walls 75, 76. A portion of the axles 69, 70 in which both creasing rollers 72, 73 are mounted, namely an axle 77, 78, is removable (with the creasing rollers 72, 73). The ends of the axle pieces 77, 78 sit for this purpose in brackets or side support pieces 79, 80 as an extension of the axes 69, 70. The support pieces 79, 80 are each rotatably mounted in the housing walls 75, 76 and point to the axle pieces 77th , 78 facing sides on conical depressions. In this form fit corresponding conical coupling ends 81, 82 of the axle pieces 77, 78 a.

Zum Einkuppeln und Auskuppeln der Achsstücke 77, 78 in Bezug auf die Kupplungsenden 81, 82 sind jeweils die konischen Kupplungsenden 81 an der einen Seite der Achsstücke 77, 78 in Axialrichtung verschiebbar, und zwar gegen die Belastung einer Feder 83. Die verschiebbaren Kupplungsenden 81, 82 werden durch eine Langlochführung. gegen Drehen gesichert Durch Verschiebung aus der in Fig. 8 in ausgezogenen Linien gezeigten Position in die gestrichelt angedeutete Position treten die konischen Kupplungsenden 81 aus den Vertiefungen der Tragstücke 79, 80 heraus, so dass die Achsstücke 77, 78 freikommen. Diese können nun mit den Rillwalzen 72, 73 herausgenommen werden. Während des Betriebs, nämlich während des Einsatzes der Rillwalzen 72, 73, sind die Achsstücke 77, 78 unverdrehbar mit den Tragstücken 79, 80 verbunden, und zwar durch einen quergerichteten Mitnehmerstift 84.For engaging and disengaging the axle pieces 77, 78 with respect to the coupling ends 81, 82 are each the conical coupling ends 81 on the one side of the axle pieces 77, 78 slidable in the axial direction, against the load of a spring 83. The sliding coupling ends 81, 82 are through a slot guide. secured against rotation By shifting from the in Fig. 8 shown in solid lines in the dashed line indicated position, the conical coupling ends 81 out of the wells of the support pieces 79, 80 out, so that the axle pieces 77, 78 come free. These can now be removed with the creasing rollers 72, 73. During operation, namely during the use of the creasing rollers 72, 73, the axle pieces 77, 78 are non-rotatably connected to the support pieces 79, 80, by a transverse driving pin 84th

Zur Überprüfung des Vorhandenseins beider Achsstücke 77, 78 (bzw. des Fehlens dieser Teile) sind Initiatoren 23, 24 vorgesehen, die mit einer Verdickung 85 jeweils außen am Achsstück 77, 78 zusammenwirken. Insbesondere ist die Verdickung 85 an dem verschiebbaren Kupplungsende 81 angebracht Durch den Einsatz von zwei Initiatoren 23, 24 im Zusammenwirken mit einer einzelnen Verdickung 85 wird auch sichergestellt, dass eine Fehlstellung des verschiebbaren Kupplungsendes 81 durch den Initiator 24 festgestellt wird.To check the presence of both axle pieces 77, 78 (or the absence of these parts), initiators 23, 24 are provided which cooperate with a thickening 85 on the outside of the axle piece 77, 78, respectively. In particular, the thickening 85 is attached to the displaceable coupling end 81. The use of two initiators 23, 24 in cooperation with a single thickening 85 also ensures that a misalignment of the displaceable coupling end 81 by the initiator 24 is detected.

In Fig. 9 ist schematisch ein Funktionsbild dargestellt. Anhand der zentralen Steuerung 27 ist für den Maschinisten erkennbar, ob die Maschine komplett auf einen neuen, herzustellenden Packungstyp umgestellt ist. Zu diesem Zweck wird an der Steuerung 27 der herzustellende Packungstyp eingegeben. Danach werden die erforderlichen Änderungen bzw. Auswechslungen an den Aggregaten durchgeführt. Bei dem Beispiel der Fig. 9 werden drei Aggregate bzw. Organe beispielshaft gezeigt, nämlich der Faltrevolver 17, das Formaggregat für Rundkanten gemäß Fig. 4 und das Formaggregat für Kragenzuschnitte gemäß Fig. 7. Die Steuerung 27 gibt für den Maschinisten ein Signal, wenn alle auszutauschenden oder zu verändernden Aggregate auf den jeweiligen Packungstyp ausgerichtet sind. Durch die schematischen Darstellungen 86 werden die jeweils zugeordneten Funktionen symbolhaft dargestellt.In Fig. 9 schematically a functional picture is shown. On the basis of the central controller 27, the operator can see whether the machine has been completely converted to a new type of pack to be produced. For this purpose, the type of packaging to be produced is input to the controller 27. Thereafter, the required changes or replacements are performed on the units. In the example of Fig. 9 three units or organs are shown as an example, namely the folding turret 17, the forming unit for round edges according to Fig. 4 and the forming unit for collar blanks according to Fig. 7 , The controller 27 gives a signal to the operator if all the units to be exchanged or changed are aligned with the respective type of packing. Through the schematic representations 86, the respectively assigned functions are represented symbolically.
