Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum automatischen Bestücken einer Ware, insbesondere eines aus gruppierten Einzelwaren gebildeten Gebindes, mit einem Tragegriff, mit Mitteln zum Zuführen der Ware sowie mit Mitteln zum Zuführen eines als Tragegriff dienenden Filmstreifenmaterials zu einem Führungselement, wobei das Filmstreifenmaterial mittels des Führungselements so geführt wird, dass die Ware durch Bewegung des Führungselements an sich gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils mit einem Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen wird.The invention relates to a device for automatically loading a product, in particular a container formed from grouped individual goods, with a carrying handle, with means for supplying the goods and with means for supplying a serving as a handle film strip material to a guide element, wherein the film strip material by means of the guide member so is guided, that the product is provided by movement of the guide member on opposite sides in each case with one end of the film strip material.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zum automatischen Bestücken einer Ware, insbesondere eines aus gruppierten Einzelwaren gebildeten Gebindes, mit einem als Tragegriff dienenden Filmstreifenmaterials, wobei das Filmstreifenmaterial so mittels eines Führungselements geführt wird, dass die Ware durch Bewegung des Führungselements an sich gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils mit einem Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen wird.The invention further relates to a method for automatically loading a product, in particular a container formed from grouped individual goods, with a serving as a handle film strip material, wherein the film strip material is guided by means of a guide member that the goods by moving the guide member on opposite sides each with an end of the film strip material is provided.
Eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung sowie ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren sind aus der
Gemäß dem vorbekannten Verfahren werden mit einem Tragegriff zu versehene Waren der Vorrichtung zum Bestücken der Ware mit einem Tragegriff mittels eines Förderbandes zugefördert. Die Bestückungsvorrichtung verfügt über ein dreiarmiges Rotationselement, über welches ein als Tragegriff dienendes Filmstreifenmaterial geführt wird.A generic device and a generic method are from the
According to the previously known method to be provided with a carrying goods of the device for loading the goods with a carrying handle by means of a conveyor belt fed. The placement device has a three-arm rotation element, via which a film strip material serving as a carrying handle is guided.
Im Zuge der vorbekannten Verfahrensdurchführung fährt die mit einem Tragegriff auszurüstende Ware mit ihrer in Zuführrichtung vorderen Seite gegen einen der Arme des das Filmstreifenmaterial führenden Rotationselements. Infolge dessen wird diese Seite der Ware mit einem Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen. Während des nachfolgenden Weitertransports der Ware in Zuführrichtung rotiert das Rotationselement, infolge dessen das Filmstreifenmaterial anderendseitig über die Ware geführt und die in Zuführrichtung der Ware hintere Seite mit dem anderen Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen wird.In the course of the known process implementation, the goods to be equipped with a handle moves with its front in the feed direction against one of the arms of the film strip material leading rotary member. As a result, this side of the fabric is provided with one end of the filmstrip material. During the subsequent further transport of the product in the feed direction, the rotary element rotates, as a result of which the film strip material is guided over the goods on the other side and the rear side in the feed direction of the article is provided with the other end of the film strip material.
Die aus dem Stand der Technik gemäß der
So bedingt das Anordnen der Enden des als Tragegriff dienenden Filmstreifenmaterials an der in Zuführrichtung der Ware vorderen Seite einerseits sowie hinteren Seite andererseits, dass die im Endlostransportstrom auf die Bestückungsvorrichtung zugeführten Waren zunächst zu vereinzeln sind, da ansonsten ein Zugriff auf die Vorder- bzw. Rückseiten der Waren mittels des Rotationselements nicht möglich ist.Thus, arranging the ends of the film strip material serving as a carrying handle on the front side in the feeding direction of the goods on the one hand and on the rear side on the other hand, that the supplied in Endlostransportstrom on the placement device goods are first to be separated, otherwise access to the front and back sides the goods by means of the rotation element is not possible.
Von Nachteil ist ferner, dass es je nach Ausgestaltung der Ware erforderlich sein kann, diese vor einer Anbringung des Tragegriffs zunächst um 90 Grad zur Zuführrichtung zu verdrehen. Nach einem Anbringen des Tragegriffs hat dann eine Zurückverdrehung der Ware zu erfolgen. Eine solch vorgeschaltete Verdrehung ist beispielsweise bei in Doppelreihen zu einem Gebinde gruppierten Einzelwaren erforderlich ist, wenn die Einzelwaren direkt miteinander verklebt sind, es also an einer die Einzelwaren umgebenden Umhüllung fehlt. In solchen Fällen ist aufgrund der fehlenden Umhüllung eine Mittenanordnung oft nicht möglich, was die schon vorerläuterte Verdrehung der Waren um 90 Grad erforderlich machen kann.Another disadvantage is that, depending on the configuration of the goods, it may be necessary to first twist them 90 degrees to the feed direction before attaching the carrying handle. After attaching the handle then has a Zurückverdrehung the goods to take place. Such an upstream twisting is required, for example, in individual products grouped in double rows into a bundle, if the individual goods are glued directly to one another, that is, if they are missing from an envelope surrounding the individual goods. In such cases, a center arrangement is often not possible due to the lack of wrapping, which may make the already vorerläuterte twisting of the goods by 90 degrees.
Ausgehend vom Vorbeschriebenen ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung der eingangsgenannten Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine vereinfachte Handhabung ermöglicht ist. Ferner soll ein Verfahren vorgeschlagen werden.Based on the above, it is the object of the invention to develop a device of the type mentioned in such a way that a simplified handling is possible. Furthermore, a method should be proposed.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Gegenstände der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst.This object is solved by the subject matters of the independent claims.
Es wird vorrichtungsseitig mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass das Führungselement quer zur Zuführrichtung der Ware linear verfahrbar ausgebildet ist.It is proposed on the device side with the invention that the guide element is designed to be linearly movable transversely to the feed direction of the goods.
Erfindungsgemäß kommt im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik nicht ein sich drehendes Rotationselement, sondern ein Führungselement zum Einsatz, das quer zur Zuführrichtung der Ware linear verfahrbar ist. Diese Ausgestaltung gestattet es, die sich in Zuführ-, das heißt Transportrichtung der Ware erstreckenden Längsseiten der Waren mit den jeweiligen Enden des Filmstreifenmaterials zur Ausbildung eines Tragegriffs zu bestücken. Es findet mithin keine Bestückung der Waren mit einem Tragegriff in Längsrichtung, sondern quer hierzu statt.According to the invention, in contrast to the prior art, not a rotating rotation element, but a guide element is used, which is linearly movable transversely to the feed direction of the goods. This configuration makes it possible to equip the longitudinal sides of the goods, which extend in the feed direction, that is to say the transport direction of the goods, with the respective ends of the film strip material to form a carrying handle. Consequently, there is no placement of the goods with a carrying handle in the longitudinal direction, but transversely to this place.
Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung erbringt den Vorteil, dass es für eine ordnungsgemäße Bestückung einer Ware mit einem Tragegriff nicht mehr erforderlich ist, die Waren vor einer Tragegriffbestückung zu vereinzeln. Der auf die Bestückungsvorrichtung zugeleitete Warenstrom kann aufgrund der seitlichen Anordnung der Tragegriffe unvereinzelnt bleiben. Dies ist zum einen sehr viel schonender für die mit einem Tragegriff zu bestückende Ware. Zum anderen kann eine sehr viel höhere Bestückungsfrequenz, das heißt Taktung erreicht werden, da der der Tragegriffbestückung vorgeschaltete Vereinzelungsvorgang ebenso entfällt, wie ein der Tragegriffbestückung nachgeschalteter Zusammenführungsschritt. Damit erlaubt die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung eine insgesamt vereinfachte Handhabung.The embodiment of the invention provides the advantage that it is no longer necessary for a proper placement of a product with a carrying handle to separate the goods in front of a handle assembly. The supplied to the placement device flow of goods can remain unaccomplished due to the lateral arrangement of the carrying handles. This is for a much more gentle for the goods to be loaded with a handle. On the other hand, a much higher placement frequency, that is to say clocking, can be achieved, since the separation process preceding the carrying handle assembly is likewise omitted, as is a joining step connected downstream of the carrying handle assembly. Thus, the device of the invention allows a total of simplified handling.
Da eine Bestückung der in Zuführ-, das heißt Transportrichtung der Ware seitlichen Warenseiten stattfindet, bedarf es zudem bei Gebinden aus zu Doppelreihen gruppierten Einzelwaren keiner vorherigen Verdrehung der mit einem Tragegriff zu bestückenden Gebinde. Auch insofern erweist sich die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik als vorteilhaft.Since an assembly of the goods side in feed, that is, transport direction of the goods takes place, it also requires in containers made of double rows grouped items no prior rotation of the container to be equipped with a handle container. Also in this respect, the device according to the invention proves to be advantageous over the prior art.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ferner vorgesehen, dass das Führungselement in Zuführrichtung der Ware sowie entgegengesetzt hierzu linear verfahrbar ist. Diese Ausgestaltung gestattet es, dass das Zuführelement mit der mit einem Tragegriff zu bestückenden Ware mitverfährt. Bei der Anordnung der Enden des Filmstreifenmaterials lässt sich so eine Relativbewegung zwischen den das Filmstreifenmaterial führende Führungselement und der zu bestückenden Ware vermeiden. Eine sichere Anbringung des Filmstreifenmaterials an der Ware ist so gestattet.According to the invention, it is further provided that the guide element can be moved linearly in the feed direction of the goods and opposite thereto. This embodiment allows the feeding element to move with the goods to be loaded with a carrying handle. In the arrangement of the ends of the film strip material, a relative movement between the guide strip leading to the film strip material and the article to be loaded can thus be avoided. A secure attachment of the film strip material to the goods is permitted.
Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Führungselement um eine sich senkrecht zur Zuführrichtung der Ware erstreckende Hochachse verschwenkbar ausgebildet ist. Diese Ausgestaltung gestattet es, dass Zuführelement nach einer bestimmungsgemäßen Bestückung einer Ware mit einem Tragegriff nicht zurück in die Ausgangslage zur Tragegriffbestückung einer der in Zuführrichtung der bestückten Ware nachfolgenden Ware verfahren zu müssen. Die verdrehbare Anordnung gestattet es vielmehr, das Führungselement so zu verdrehen, dass ohne Seitenwechsel des Führungselements eine sofortige Bestückung der der bestückten Ware nachfolgenden Ware erfolgen kann. Es ist mithin vorgesehen, das Führungselement nach einem Bestücken der zweiten Seite einer Ware auf dieser Warenseite zu belassen. Nach einem Verdrehen kann dann die der bestückten Ware nachfolgende Ware auf dieser Seite mit einem Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen werden, bevor das Führungselement zurück auf die in Zuführrichtung andere Längsseite verfährt.According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that the guide element extends around a perpendicular to the feed direction of the goods Vertical axis is formed pivotable. This embodiment makes it possible for the feed element to not have to move back to the initial position for carrying handle assembly of a product following in the feed direction of the stocked goods after a proper loading of a product with a carrying handle. Rather, the rotatable arrangement makes it possible to rotate the guide element so that an immediate placement of the goods following the loaded product can take place without changing the side of the guide element. It is therefore provided to leave the guide element after a loading of the second side of a product on this side of the goods. After twisting, the goods following the stocked goods can then be provided with one end of the film strip material on this side before the guide element travels back to the other longitudinal side in the feed direction.
Es ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Führungselement warenseitig Umlenkrollen für das Filmstreifenmaterial aufweist. Diese Umlenkrollen gestatten ein exaktes Anliegen des Filmstreifenmaterials am Führungselement, so dass eine positionsgenaue Anordnung des Filmstreifenelements an der mit einem Tragegriff zu bestückenden Ware gestattet ist.It is provided according to a further feature of the invention that the guide element has on the side deflection rollers for the film strip material. These pulleys allow a precise concern of the film strip material on the guide element, so that a positionally accurate arrangement of the film strip element is allowed at the goods to be loaded with a handle.
Zwischen den beiden Umlenkrollen ist warenseitig ein Trennmittel vorgesehen. Dieses durchtrennt das endlos zugeführte Filmstreifenmaterial nach einer bestimmungsgemäßen Anordnung des zweiten Endes an der zugehörigen Warenseite. Nach einem Verdrehen des Führungselements in der schon vorbeschriebenen Weise kann dann eine sofortige Anordnung des für die nachfolgende Ware ersten Endes des Filmstreifenmaterials an der zugehörigen Warenseite erfolgen.Between the two pulleys, a release agent is provided on the product side. This cuts through the endlessly supplied film strip material after a proper arrangement of the second end on the associated side of the goods. After twisting the guide element in the manner already described, an immediate arrangement of the first product of the film strip material for the subsequent product can then take place on the associated product side.
Das Führungselement ist bevorzugter Weise nach Art eines Arms ausgebildet. Es wird von einem verdrehbar angeordneten Flansch getragen, der seinerseits von einem Tragarm gehalten ist.The guide element is preferably formed in the manner of an arm. It is supported by a rotatably mounted flange, which in turn is held by a support arm.
Es wird verfahrensseitig vorgeschlagen, ein Verfahren, bei dem eine erste Seite der Ware mittels des Führungselements mit einem Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen wird, bei dem das Führungselement quer zur Zuführrichtung der Ware linear verfahren wird und bei dem die der ersten Seite der Ware gegenüberliegende zweite Seite der Ware mit einem zweiten Ende des Filmmaterials versehen wird:It is proposed in the method, a method in which a first side of the product is provided by means of the guide element with one end of the film strip material, wherein the guide element is moved transversely to the feed direction of the product linear and in which the first side of the product opposite second side the goods with a second end of the footage is provided:
Gemäß der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrensdurchführung ist vorgesehen, in einem ersten Schritt zunächst einmal eine erste Seite der Ware mittels des Führungselements mit einem Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials zu versehen. Bei dieser ersten Seite handelt es sich um eine sich in Zuführ-, das heißt Transportrichtung der Ware erstreckende Längsseite. In einem zweiten Schritt wird das Führungselement quer zur Zuführrichtung der Ware linear verfahren, das heißt das Führungselement wechselt auf die andere sich in Zuführ-, das heißt Transportrichtung der Ware befindliche Längsseite.According to the method implementation according to the invention, it is provided, in a first step, first of all to provide a first side of the product by means of the guide element with one end of the film strip material. This first page is a longitudinal side extending in the feed direction, that is to say the transport direction of the goods. In a second step, the guide element is moved linearly transversely to the feed direction of the goods, that is, the guide element changes to the other in the feed, ie transport direction of the goods located longitudinal side.
Als dann wird diese der ersten Seite der Ware gegenüberliegende zweite Seite der Ware mit einem zweiten Ende des Filmstreifenelements versehen.As this second side of the product opposite the first side of the product is then provided with a second end of the film strip element.
Diese erfindungsgemäße Verfahrensdurchführung sieht in Abkehr zum Stand der Technik vor, dass nicht die in Zuführrichtung vordere und hintere Stirnseite, sondern die beiden Längsseiten mit den jeweiligen Enden des Filmstreifenmaterials zur Ausbildung eines Tragegriffes versehen werden. In schon der vorerläuterten Weise erbringt diese Verfahrensdurchführung insbesondere den Vorteil, dass eine Vereinzelung der Waren vor einer Tragegriffbestückung nicht notwendig ist.In contrast to the prior art, this method implementation according to the invention provides that not the front and rear end faces in the feed direction but the two longitudinal sides are provided with the respective ends of the film strip material for forming a carrying handle. In the previously explained manner, this method implementation in particular provides the advantage that a separation of the goods from a handle assembly is not necessary.
In einer Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass das Führungselement um eine sich senkrecht zur Zuführrichtung erstreckende Hochachse verdreht wird, dass die zweite Seite einer der Ware in Zuführrichtung nachfolgenden zweiten Ware mit einem Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen wird, dass das Führungselement quer zur Zuführrichtung der zweiten Ware linear verfahren wird und dass die der zweiten Seite der zweiten Ware gegenüberliegende erste Seite der zweiten Ware mit einem zweiten Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen wird.In a development of the method according to the invention, it is provided that the guide element is rotated around a vertical axis extending perpendicularly to the feed direction, that the second side of a second product following the product in the feed direction is provided with one end of the film strip material, that the guide element transversely to the feed direction of The second product is linearly moved and that the second side of the second product opposite first side of the second product is provided with a second end of the film strip material.
Gemäß dieser besonderen Verfahrensdurchführung ist vorgesehen, dass zunächst eine erste Ware mit einem Tragegriff und als dann eine zweite Ware mit einem Tragegriff versehen wird, wobei das Führungselement nach einer Anordnung des Filmstreifenmaterials an der zweiten Seite der ersten Ware nicht zurück auf die erste Seite der ersten Ware verfährt, sondern vielmehr auf der zweiten Seite verbleibt und zunächst diese zweite Seite der zweiten Ware mit einem Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versieht und als dann erst zurück auf die andere Seite, das heißt die erste Seite verfährt, die dann mit dem anderen Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials versehen wird. Um nach einer Bestückung der zweiten Seite der ersten Ware die zweite Seite der nachfolgenden zweiten Ware mit dem zugehörigen Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials bestücken zu können, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Führungselement verdreht und zwar um eine senkrecht zur Zuführrichtung ausgerichtete Hochachse.According to this particular method implementation, it is provided that initially a first product is provided with a carrying handle and then a second product is provided with a carrying handle, wherein the guide element does not return to the first side of the first product after an arrangement of the film strip material on the second side of the first product Goods moves, but rather remains on the second page and first provides this second side of the second product with one end of the film strip material and than then back to the other side, that is, the first page moves, then is provided with the other end of the film strip material. In order to be able to equip the second side of the subsequent second product with the associated end of the film strip material after an assembly of the second side of the first product, the invention provides that the guide element is rotated, namely about a vertical axis oriented perpendicular to the feed direction.
Die vorbeschriebene Verfahrensdurchführung erlaubt in vorteilhafter Weise eine hohe Taktrate, da Leerfahren des Führungselements vermieden werden.The above-described method implementation advantageously allows a high clock rate, since emptying of the guide element can be avoided.
Gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, zwei, drei oder noch mehr erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtungen zu kaskadieren, das heißt in Zuführrichtung der Ware hintereinander zu schalten. Dabei bestücken die einzelnen Vorrichtungen die Waren jeweils in Entsprechung der Anzahl der insgesamt vorgesehenen Vorrichtungen versetzt mit einem jeweiligen Tragegriff.According to a further proposal of the invention can be provided to cascade two, three or even more inventive devices, that is to switch in the feed direction of the goods one behind the other. In this case, the individual devices equip the goods in each case in correspondence with the number of devices provided in total offset with a respective carrying handle.
Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Filmstreifenmaterial im Zeitpunkt des Versehens der Ware mit einem zweiten Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials durchtrennt wird. Das sich so ergebende freie Ende des Filmstreifenmaterials dient als erstes Ende zur Anbringung an der in Zuführrichtung der bestimmungsgemäß bestückten Ware nachfolgenden Ware.According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the film strip material is severed at the time of providing the product with a second end of the film strip material. The thus resulting free end of the film strip material serves as a first end for attachment to the following in the feed direction of the intended goods stocked goods.
Das Führungselement wird um 90 Grad, 180 Grad oder gegebenenfalls um einen frei einstellbaren Winkel verdreht.The guide element is rotated by 90 degrees, 180 degrees or optionally by a freely adjustable angle.
Im Falle einer warenmittigen Anordnung des Tragegriffs erfolgt im Umkehrpunkt eine Verschwenkung des Führungselements um 180 Grad. Bei einer warenaußermittigen Anordnung des Tragegriffs erfolgt eine Verdrehbewegung, die von 180 Grad abweist. Soll beispielsweise bei einer außermittigen Tragegriffanordnung eine Diagonaleausrichtung des Tragegriffes zur jeweiligen Ware erreicht werden, verschwenkt das Führungselement von Ware zu Ware um jeweils 90 Grad. Für den Fall, dass andere Tragegriffausrichtungen in Relation zur Ware gewünscht sind, können auch andere Verschwenkwinkel des Führungselements vorgesehen sein. Von erfindungswesentlicher Bedeutung ist indes, dass es die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung sowie die erfindungsgemäße Verfahrensdurchführung ermöglichen, sowohl warenmittige als auch warenaußermittige Tragegriffanordnungen zu realisieren, wobei außermittige Tragegriffanordnungen wahlweise über den Verdrehwinkel des Führungselements konfiguriert werden können.In the case of an orderly arrangement of the carrying handle takes place at the reversal point, a pivoting of the guide element by 180 degrees. In a Außersmitermittigen arrangement of the handle takes a twisting movement, which avoids 180 degrees. If, for example, in the case of an eccentric carrying handle arrangement, a diagonal orientation of the carrying handle to the respective product is to be achieved, the guide element pivots from product to product by 90 degrees in each case. In the event that other handle alignments are desired in relation to the goods, other pivoting angle of the guide member may be provided. Of essential importance to the invention, however, is that the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention make it possible to realize both goods-centered and out-of-center carrying handle arrangements, with eccentric carrying handle arrangements can be optionally configured via the twist angle of the guide element.

Ausgehend von der Position gemäß
Sobald die Anordnung des zweiten Endes 21 an der zweiten Seite 20 der Ware 2 abgeschlossen ist, fährt das Trennmittel 16 aus, so dass es zu einem Abtrennen des an der Ware 2 angeordneten Filmstreifenmaterials 5 vom Endlosband kommt. Während dieser gesamten Zeit verfährt das Führungselement 6 auch in Zuführrichtung 9, damit eine Relativbewegung zwischen Filmstreifenmaterial 5 und Ware 2 bis zu einer Betätigung des Trennmittels 17 unterbleibt.As soon as the arrangement of the
Nach einer Abtrennung des Filmstreifenmaterials 5 verfährt das Führungselement 6 entgegen der Zuführrichtung 9 in seine Ausgangslage, es wechselt aber nicht die Seite, sondern verbleibt auf der der zweiten Seite 20 zugeordneten Warenseite. Während dieser Verfahrbewegung in entgegengesetzter Richtung zur Zuführbewegung 9 und/oder nach Erreichen der Ausgangslage verdreht das Führungselement 6 in Pfeilrichtung 22, das heißt um eine senkrecht zur Zuführrichtung 9 liegende Hochachse 27. Infolge dieser Verdrehbewegung wird die Führungsseite 14 des Führungselements 6 bzw. das davon abgestützte Filmstreifenmaterial 5 einer der mit einem Tragegriff 4 bestückten Ware 2 in Zuführrichtung 9 nachfolgenden zweiten Ware 23 zugewandt. Es kann als dann eine Anordnung des Filmstreifenmaterials 5 an der zweiten Seite 24 dieser zweiten Ware 23 stattfinden, wie dies
