Definitions
- the invention relates to a machine for automated packaging of product (s) in a cardboard box.
- the present invention relates more particularly to a machine for packaging product (s) in a cardboard box according to a crating cycle comprising at least three successive operations to form, fill and close the box, the machine comprising means of crating which are arranged along a longitudinal packaging line of the machine comprising, from upstream to downstream, a first shaping station which successively receives, at a determined cycle rate, a crate cutout intended to to be at least partially shaped, and comprising a conveying device for transferring, successively from upstream to downstream in a forward path, the body thus formed to a second filling station to which the products are crated through associated loading means able to deposit the products to be packaged in the box, then to a third closing station of the box before its evacuation out of e the machine.

- the second main control lever 104 is integral in displacement of the lever 108 respectively controlling the upstream blocking means 40 of the second clamp 38 by means of a link rod 1 12.
- the link rods 98 and 1 12 constitute means for synchronizing the reciprocating reciprocating movement of the locking means 40, 42 of the clamps 36, 38 and the evacuation arms 76 between the active and inactive positions.
- the carriage 32 being in extreme downstream position, it then controls the actuating means 86 to rotate the arms of the clamps 36, 38 and the arms 76 to evacuate inactive position.
- the station A is then empty since the formed box 12A has been transferred to the station B by the clamp 36, the station A shaping does not include here means of immobilization 84 body.
- the new cutout 14 of cash brought by the transfer arm 20 is immobilized longitudinally upstream by the arches 24 and downstream by the rods 26 until the arms of the first clamp 36 come again, the carriage 32 being in extreme upstream position, return to the active position.
- this formed box 12A intended to be filled must instead be held in position, in particular longitudinally and at least as long as the locking means 40, 42 of the second clamp 38 are in the inactive position.
- the filling station B comprises, upstream and downstream, immobilization means 84 temporarily replacing the locking means 40, 42.
- the closing station C also comprises similar immobilization means 84 which are arranged only downstream, and which constitute temporary stop means ensuring correct longitudinal positioning of the filled box 12B on which upstream means, known as squaring crate (not shown), which are for example arranged vertically above the station C.
- immobilization means 84 which are arranged only downstream, and which constitute temporary stop means ensuring correct longitudinal positioning of the filled box 12B on which upstream means, known as squaring crate (not shown), which are for example arranged vertically above the station C.
- the carriage 32 makes its return path to reposition itself in extreme upstream position and then the arms of the clamps 36, 38 and the arms 76 are actuated to pivot in the active position so as to return to the initial configuration shown in Figure 1 and 6.
- a complete crating cycle thus corresponds to a forward path and then to a return path of the carriage 32 comprising the transfer means 34.
- the immobilizing means 84 are here constituted by upstream fingers 1 14 and / or downstream 1 16 which are preferably arranged and movably mounted in each of the longitudinal rails 48.
- the pairs of upstream 1 14 and / or downstream 1 16 fingers are movably mounted between:
- each upstream 1 14 and downstream 1 16 finger is mounted, at its lower end, pivoting about a transverse axis and is moved between its working and rest positions by actuating means 1 18 comprising here a jack 120 whose rod acts on a lever 122 causing the pivoting of the finger 1 14, 1 16.
- downstream finger 1 16 of positions B and C and its actuating means 1 18 are mounted integral with a support plate 124 to form a unitary subassembly which is mounted longitudinally movable, here by sliding in the rail 48, so as to allow adjustment of the longitudinal distance between the pairs of upstream fingers 1 14 or squaring means of the body 12C and the pairs of downstream fingers 1 16 according to the different body formats 12, including the length L.
- the machine 10 comprises other means of immobilization, in particular pneumatic means, such as suction suction cups associated with a suction device allowing for example to maintain or immobilize a body part, such as the bottom or one of the flaps.
- the machine 10 comprises, here at the filling station B, a vacuum suction cup 126 which is arranged in the thickness of the straight rail 48 and flush with respect to the upper horizontal surface 46 for supporting the guide path 44 to apply on the external surface of one of the flaps 6 of the body 12 a vertical suction force, oriented downwards, to maintain it in a substantially horizontal position.
- the machine 10 comprises adjustment means 128 for modifying the transverse spacing between each longitudinal rail 48 forming the guide path 44 on which the funds 2 of the boxes slide so as to allow, as for the transfer means 34 of the conveyor device 30, a simple and fast modification according to the different box formats 12.
- the adjustment means 128 here comprises a steering wheel or a control crank 130 which drives in rotation a transmission chain 132 actuating a transverse shaft 134 acting by means of connection of the "screw-nut" type on the position of the rails 48.
- the transverse spacing of the means carried by the rails 48 is also simultaneously adjusted.
- the carriage 32 is arranged in the machine 10 transversely outside the packaging line 16, here offset laterally on the left side, so as to clear a space 136 situated vertically under the packaging line 16 so as to facilitate access, in particular on the right, to this zone of the machine 10.
- the clamping means 54 are thus easily accessed, which makes it possible to adjust the transverse spacing between the arms 50a. , 50b of the clamps 36, 38 or the evacuation arms 76a, 76b.
- the conveyor device 30 according to the invention thus arranged in the machine 10 is less sensitive to soiling than the chain-link conveyors according to the state of the art.
- the dust and / or fine particles of cardboard from the body cutouts are a source of permanent fouling of the conveying device likely to cause interruptions in operation and demanding, at the very least, regular maintenance and cleaning operations.
- the chain conveying devices are also directly exposed to being soiled or soiled by the very content of a product being packaged, which is particularly likely to spread on the chains, especially between the links.
- drive means (not shown) of the transfer arm 20 are arranged in the machine 10 upstream of the storage magazine 18 or the first station A, so as to also protect these drive means from said dirt coming from them. dust and / or fine particles of cardboard and to leave empty the space 136 under the packing line 16.
- the conveying device according to the invention is implemented in a box-type machine using American boxes.
