Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für die Beseitigung von durch beschädigte, in Näpfe einer bewegten Warenbahn einsortierter Produkte verursachter Störungen an einer Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von den festen Produkten wie Dragees, Tabletten oder dergl. in die Näpfe der bewegten Warenbahn, mit einem oberhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Füllschuh in dem ein die gestauten Produkte aufnehmender Produktschacht ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a device for the Elimination of through damaged, in wells of a moving Web of sorted products caused faults a device for transferring the solid products like dragees, tablets or the like in the cups of the moving web, with one above the web arranged filling shoe in the one the jammed products receiving product shaft is formed.

Derartige Vorrichtungen werden in der Praxis eingesetzt, wenn in einem Vorratsgefäß ungeordnet vorliegenden Produkte gezielt in die Näpfe einer Warenbahn, insbesondere einer Blisterfolie übergeben werden sollen. Such devices are used in practice, if present in a storage container disorderly Products targeted into the wells of a web, in particular a blister sheet to be handed over.

Allerdings besteht das Problem, daß fehlerhafte Produkte, insbesondere beschädigte, nur in Bruchstücken vorliegende Produkte nicht aussortiert werden und zu Produktionsstörungen führen, die in der Regel nur durch Stillsetzen der gesamten Produktionslinie behoben werden können, was zu einer deutlichen Reduzierung von deren Effizienz führt. Problematisch ist weiterhin, daß die Bruchstücke auch die Warenbahn beschädigen oder eine Beschädigung mittelbar verursachen können mit der Folge einer Undichtigkeit, die auch in den Kontrolleinrichtungen nicht zuverlässig erkannt wird.However, there is the problem that defective products, especially damaged, present only in fragments Products can not be sorted out and closed Production disruptions usually only occur Shutting down the entire production line can be rectified can, resulting in a significant reduction of their Efficiency leads. Another problem is that the Fragments also damage the web or one Can cause damage indirectly with the consequence a leak, which also in the control facilities not reliably detected.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß beschädigte Produkte ohne Produktionsstörungen verarbeitet werden können.The invention is therefore based on the object, a Device of the type mentioned in such a way that damaged products processed without production disruptions can be.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß dem Auslauf des Produktschachtes in Bewegungsrichtung der Warenbahn stromab ein Hebel zugeordnet ist, der um eine parallel zur Warenbahn und senkrecht zu deren Bewegungsrichtung orientierten Drehachse verschwenkbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in a Device of the type mentioned solved in that the outlet of the product shaft in the direction of movement of Goods downstream of a lever is associated, which is around a parallel to the web and perpendicular to their Movement direction oriented axis of rotation pivotable is.

Wird bei einer derartigen Vorrichtung ein beschädigtes Produkt aus dem Produktschacht in den Napf gefüllt, so ist der Napf nicht vollständig befüllt und das aus dem Produktschacht nachfolgende Produkt rutscht unter der Wirkung der Schwerkraft mit in den Napf, ohne daß für dieses Produkt dafür ausreichend Platz zur Verfügung steht, so daß das Produkt aus dem Napf hervorsteht. Der Hebel verhindert bzw. beseitigt dabei eine Produktionsstörung, weil bei dem mit der Warenbahn erfolgenden Transport des aus dem Napf hervorstehenden Produktes dieses auf den Hebel trifft, der das Produkt über den hinteren Rand des Napfes aus diesem kippt. Da der Hebel um die Drehachse verdrehbar ist, kann der Hebel dem aus dem Napf entfernten Produkt ausweichen und dieses unter dem Hebel hindurch auf der Warenbahn weiter fördern lassen.Is damaged in such a device Product from the product shaft filled in the cup, so is the cup is not completely filled and that from the Product shaft subsequent product slips under the Effect of gravity with in the bowl, without for This product has enough space available stands, so that the product protrudes from the bowl. Of the Lever prevents or eliminates one Production disturbance, because with the web subsequent transport of the protruding from the cup This product meets the lever of the product over the rear edge of the cup from this tilts. Since the Lever is rotatable about the axis of rotation, the lever can the dodge the product removed from the bowl and this Continue to convey under the lever on the web to let.

Vorteilhaft ist dabei, wenn das freien Ende der Hebel am Auslauf des Produktschachtes der Warenbahn aufliegt und die Drehachse stromab, in der Bewegungsrichtung der Warenbahn von dieser beabstandet angeordnet ist, um so eine gute Kraftübertragung bei der Verschiebung der Produkte entgegen der Förderrichtung der Warenbahn zu erzielen.It is advantageous if the free end of the lever on Outlet of the product shaft of the web rests and the axis of rotation downstream, in the direction of movement of Web is spaced from this arranged so a good power transfer when shifting the Products against the conveying direction of the web to achieve.

Der Schonung des Produktes sowie der Steigerung der Betriebssicherheit sowie Verläßlichkeit dient, daß an dem freien, den Näpfen zugeordneten Ende des Hebels eine Rolle gelagert ist.The protection of the product as well as the increase of the Operational safety and reliability serves that on the free, the cups associated end of the lever a role is stored.

In einfachster Weise liegt der Hebel auf der Warenbahn auf und läuft über die mit den Produkten befüllten Näpfe ab. Günstiger ist es jedoch, wenn der Füllschuh auf der der Warenbahn zugeordneten Seite des Hebels ein dessen Ruhelage bestimmender Anschlag aufweist. Dieser Anschlag kann gewährleisten, daß die Ruhelage des Hebels diesen mit Abstand über der Warenbahn schweben läßt, so daß ohne Störung verarbeitete Produkte mit diesem Hebel nicht in Berührung kommen. In the simplest way, the lever rests on the web and drains over the bowls filled with the products. It is cheaper, however, if the filling shoe on the Cloth web associated side of the lever one Has rest position determining stop. This stop can ensure that the rest position of the lever with this Allow distance above the web float, so that without Do not disturb processed products with this lever Come in contact.

Vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn der Hebel gegen die Kraft einer Feder aus seiner Ruhelage verschwenkbar ist. Damit besteht die Möglichkeit, nicht nur die Schwerkraft als Rückstellkraft auszunutzen und den Hebel entsprechend leicht mit geringer Trägheit zu gestalten. Wenn weiterhin die Feder auf der der Warenbahn abgewandten Seite des Hebels diesen beaufschlagt, dann ist der Raum unterhalb des Hebels und damit unmittelbar über der Warenbahn freigehalten. Außerdem ergibt sich eine vereinfachte Zugänglichkeit, um zu erreichen, daß die Vorspannung der Feder zur Variation der Federkraft veränderbar ist, und so die auf den Hebel wirkende Federkraft auf die Härte des Produktes ein stellen zu können.It is also advantageous if the lever against the force a spring from its rest position is pivotable. In order to there is the possibility not only of gravity as Take advantage of restoring force and the lever accordingly easy to design with low inertia. If continue the spring on the side facing away from the web Levers this applied, then the room is below of the lever and thus directly above the web kept free. It also results in a simplified Accessibility to achieve that the bias of the Spring is variable for varying the spring force, and so on the force acting on the lever spring force on the hardness of To be able to place a product.

Zur Vermeidung weiterer Produktionsstörungen sind Mittel zum Entfernen auf der Warenbahn, außerhalb der Näpfe liegender Produkte, vorzugsweise eine rotierende Bürstenwalze vorgesehen.To avoid further production disturbances are means for removal on the web, outside the bowls lying products, preferably a rotating Brush roller provided.

Der Leistungssteigerung dient, daß der Produktschacht und der diesem zugeordnete Hebel in einer der Anzahl benachbarter Näpfe einer Napfreihe entsprechenden Anzahl vorgesehen ist.The increase in performance is that the product shaft and the associated lever in one of the number adjacent cups of a Napfreihe corresponding number is provided.
