Definitions
- the invention relates to methods according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a device according to the preamble of claim 8.
- the containers of such a container then usually contain only one and the same product, ie. H. z. As a drink of a certain type or variety (for example, only juice or soft drink or beer, etc.) and / or one and the same flavor.
- Containers that contain containers or other packaging units with the same product are hereinafter referred to as "single-grade containers".
- mixed container containers which then contain packaging units or containers with different products in their outer packaging, such as containers with drinks (eg soft drinks) of different types and / or different tastes (eg, cola drinks and fruit sodas, etc.).
- drinks eg soft drinks
- tastes eg, cola drinks and fruit sodas, etc.
- such mixed containers may also be, for example, trays with canned animal feed, this tray containing cans of different flavors.
- Object and purpose of the present application is to present a particularly advantageous apparatus and a method for assembling mixed containers, wherein the compilation of mixed containers with any subsets of each variety and / or any spatial arrangement of containers of each variety within the Mischgebindes is possible ,
- Fig. 1 is a belonging to the prior art unpackers
- FIG. 2 also belonging to the prior art packer with accumulation route
- the 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of a picking station according to the invention, which
- FIG. 4, 5 in an overview a first embodiment and the
- FIG. 6, 7 in an overview of a second embodiment of the present invention.
- the unpacker shown in Figure 1 initially used to unpack containers 1, z. As filled with drinks containers in the form of bottles, boxes, etc. from containers 13, such as. As cartons, trays or crates.
- the unmixed containers 13 formed by the outer packaging 14 with the containers 1 are fed in the direction of the arrow A (transport direction) via a respective conveyor X, Y, Z in the embodiment shown in FIG.
- Each container 13 contains eight containers 1, which are arranged as a container group in two rows of four containers and filled exclusively with one and the same product, but the products of transporter X, Y, Z, to transporter X, Y, Z are different.
- the containers 1 are removed as an entire group of containers from the containers 13, without destruction of the outer packaging 14th
- Each feeding transport path X 1 Y, Z is in each case assigned a buffer line X 1 , Y 1 , Z 1 following the unpacker.
- the containers 1 are then intermediately stored in each case on these buffer sections.
- This buffer lines X 1, Y 1, Z 1 are individually or jointly driven, and promote the container 1 against a travel limiter 15, so that the containers 1 to the buffer lines X 1, Y 1, Z 1 are in abutment.
- the entire system is preferably used to repackage the containers 1 in the after emptying empty and reusable outer packaging 14 in a new compilation, in such a way that then contain in each outer packaging 14 and in the corresponding mixed container container 1 with different products are.
- each container contains, for example, three containers 1 of the first type product, three containers 1 of the second type product and two containers 1 of the third type product.
- the system can also be controlled so that the individual mixing containers have a different composition, for example, containers 1 are formed according to the following table.
- the system also has a picking or picking station 16.
- the present invention proposes two embodiments.
- the first embodiment allows the formation of such mixed bundles 19, in which both the quantitative composition of the individual varieties, as well as the spatial positioning of the container 1 of each variety can be chosen arbitrarily.
- the second embodiment only allows to choose the quantitative composition of the individual varieties within the Mischgebindes arbitrary, the spatial positioning of the container of a variety is essentially determined by the arrangement of the varieties on the transport paths X, Y, Z.
- the second embodiment is characterized by an increased amount of power.
- FIG. 4 shows the starting situation
- the containers 1 were separated from the outer packages 14 by the unpacker and provided sorted on the buffer lines X 1 , Y 1 , Z 1 .
- the containers 1 were positioned by the travel restriction 15 and are arranged in abutment.
- a packing head 18 which can be equipped, for example, with two modules each having eight receptacles for a respective container 1, is in a waiting position.
- the buffer sections X 1 , Y 1 , Z 1 are subdivided into sections A and B, each section comprising eight containers 1 corresponding to the number of receptacles of the modules of the packing head 18.
- the packing head 18 initially positioned over the containers 1 a buffer line X 1 , Y 1 , Z ', and detected by suitable clamping means the desired container 1. It is of particular importance that the container 1 is not at any point of the buffer sections X first , Y 1 , Z 1 , but at exactly the locations corresponding to the spatial position of the container 1 in the mixed containers to be formed.
- the packing head 18 removes the still missing containers from the buffer sections Y 'and Z 1 , and also places them in the correct position on the preparation section 17, whereby the mixing containers are completed.
- a packing head 18 has been shown with two modules for receiving eight containers 1. It goes without saying that different configurations are possible. So z. B. 3 modules with four, or even 10 shots, or even four different buffer sections may be provided without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- the presented embodiments work intermittently. If the containers 1 are assembled for all mixing containers 19 of a working cycle, the gaps formed on the buffer sections X 1 , Y 1 , Z 1 are closed again by switching on the drive, so that the containers 1 located there are again arranged in abutment. The assembled on the supply section 17 mixing container 19 are fed to a packer.
- the mixed containers 19 are assembled in several steps. In this case, only container 1 are removed from a buffer section X ', Y', Z 1 per working step and placed in the correct position on the supply route 17. It follows that each occupied buffer line X 1 , Y 1 , T one step is required.
- the second embodiment is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
- a plurality of provisioning lines 17, z. B. three provided.
- the container 1 to be put together to form the mixed containers 19 are arranged, for example, on three buffer sections X 1 , Y 1 , Z 1 in abutment.
- a packing head 18 is provided, which consists of a plurality of modules, for example, 3 X 3 modules, each of these modules has eight receptacles for each container 1.
- each individual mixing container 19 is assembled in one operation.
- the packing head 18 is positioned initially above the buffer sections X 1 , Y ', Z 1 , whereupon the individual modules each detect specific containers 1.
- the containers 1 taken from the individual buffer sections X 1 , Y 1 , T at the same time in one operation within a column A, B 1 C each form a mixed container.
- the packing head 18 If all relevant containers 1 are detected by the packing head 18, then the packing head 18 is positioned over the supply lines 17, with the individual modules of the packing head 18 making a rotational movement of 90 ° about their vertical axis. Subsequently, the containers 1 are placed on the supply lines 17.
- both the container 1 on the buffer sections X ', Y', Z ', as well as the assembled mixed containers 19 are compacted by activation of the drives.
- the mixed containers are subsequently fed to a packer.
- buffer paths X 1 , Y ', Z 1 , modules and provision lines can be provided.
