Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for stacking and packaging folded products, in particular package inserts such as inserts or outserts for pharmaceutical products.
  • a method and a device for stacking and packaging folded products is for example from EP 0 271 042 A2 known. It is proposed there to stack the folded products on storage belts and to move the subsequently formed stack horizontally into a receptacle by means of a transfer device.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a method for stacking and packing folded products that is optimized in terms of time expenditure and degree of automation, as well as a device for carrying out such a method.
  • a method for stacking and packing folded products is created in which the folded products are immediately after the folded products have been folded automatically stacked and packed by devices following the folding machine. Manual intervention is not required. The time and effort required to stack and pack the folded products, as well as the associated costs, can be reduced, as can the process's susceptibility to errors.
  • the method before the stack of folded products is shifted into the receptacle, the method comprises releasing the stack perpendicular to the transport direction. This enables the stack of folded products to be supported perpendicular to the transport direction until the stack is shifted into the receptacle, and an unintentional shifting of the folded products is avoided. Only when the folded products are moved into the receptacle is the stack released perpendicular to the transport direction and packed into the receptacle.
  • the releasing of the stack perpendicular to the transport direction comprises the displacement or pivoting of at least one support element which supports the stack in the delivery area perpendicular to the transport direction.
  • the formation of the stack comprises the arrangement of a plurality of folded products in an upright position in a stack area by means of a feed device, and the arrangement of the stack in the delivery area comprises the conveyance of the stack formed to the delivery area along a transport path running in the transport direction as soon as the formed stack of folded products comprises a predetermined number of folded products.
  • the entire stack is thus formed in the stacking area and only a single displacement of the entire stack in the direction of the delivery area is necessary.
  • the arrangement of the stack in the delivery area in this embodiment includes conveying the stack formed in the collecting area to the delivery area along a transport path running in the transport direction.
  • the partial stacks are easier to handle in the stacking area than the entire stack.
  • the throughput is increased in this way, since while the stack is being shifted from the collecting area to the delivery area, the next partial stack can already be formed in the stacking area without interrupting production.
  • Folded products such as outserts in particular generally have a substantially cuboid shape after folding, the edges of the cuboid on which the folded edges of the folded product are located are more or less rounded.
  • the length and the width of an essentially cuboid folded product are greater than the thickness.
  • the length and the width thereby define two base areas of the folded product which are significantly larger than the other side areas.
  • the base surfaces of the folded products rest against one another in order to minimize the dimensions of a stack in its longitudinal direction.
  • the base surfaces of the folded products extend essentially perpendicular to a support surface on which the folded products are arranged and form a front or back of the folded products in the transport direction.
  • Such a position of the folded products is referred to as an upright position.
  • the base areas then extend in a substantially vertical plane.
  • the method therefore preferably includes the deflection of the folded products by means of the feed device, so that each folded product is fed to the stacking area from above.
  • folded products transported horizontally are easily arranged upright in the stacking area and stacked one behind the other.
  • the base areas of several successive folded products then adjoin one another. It is not necessary to erect the folded products using additional devices.
  • the space requirement of a packaging device suitable for the method is not unnecessarily increased in width.
  • the folded products are fed into the stacking area by means of the feed device in such a way that a subsequent folded product enters the stacked area at an angle relative to at least one preceding folded product and moves the at least one preceding folded product in the transport direction.
  • a leading edge of the following folded product preferably meets a rear side of the preceding folded product facing the following folded product, so that an acute angle is formed between the facing base surfaces of the preceding and the following folded product. This ensures that the subsequent folded product lines up reliably behind the at least one preceding folded product in order to form a stack or partial stack of folded products.
  • the arrangement of a plurality of the folded products in the stacking area and the conveying of the partial stack or stack of folded products into a delivery area take place between two guide devices which guide and support the folded products along the transport path.
  • the guide devices are arranged opposite one another on both sides of the transport path and parallel to the transport direction. The guide devices prevent the folded products from being laterally displaced or tilted relative to one another during stacking and while the folded products are being conveyed into the delivery area.
  • the receptacle is preferably a tray, packaging or some other receptacle for stacks of folded products, which is particularly suitable for space-saving storage and gentle transport of folded products.
  • the stack When moving the stack into the receptacle, the stack is preferably delimited on its front and back by two delimiting elements which preferably hold the stack between them and are preferably moved with the stack in the direction of the receptacle. In this way the stack can be easily compressed and is kept active while it is being shifted from two sides. This makes it easier to introduce the stack into the receptacle.
  • a device according to the invention for stacking and packaging folded products is defined in claim 8.
  • a device in which the stacking and packaging of folded products is carried out automatically by appropriate devices. Manual intervention is not required. The time and effort required to stack and pack the folded products, as well as the associated costs, can be reduced, as can the process's susceptibility to errors. This means that increasing quality requirements in the packaging process can be met.
  • the stack is supported in the delivery area by at least one support element which is pivotable or displaceable and serves to release the stack for the transfer.
  • the stack of folded products can remain supported until the handover and can only be released for handover in the shifting direction.
  • the displacement device preferably has a stamp which rests on a narrow side of the folded products that faces away from the receptacle.
  • the stamp preferably extends in the transport direction along an entire side surface of the stack, so that it can grasp all folded products of a stack at the same time and move them together into the receptacle without damaging the folded products, moving them relative to one another and without hindering other components of the device.
  • the device further comprises at least two guide devices which are opposite one another, form the stacking area between them and are set up to receive and support the folded products fed by the feed device between them.
  • the guide devices are arranged on both sides of the transport path and parallel to the transport direction.
  • the at least two guide devices extend from the stacking area to the delivery area along the transport path, so that they laterally support the partial stack or stack of folded products up to the delivery area.
  • the distance between two opposing guide devices can be adjusted in a direction transverse to the transport direction.
  • the distance between the guide devices can be adapted to different formats of folded products.
  • Each guide device preferably has a brush on a side of the guide device facing the stacking area.
  • the brushes have bristles which extend from the guide devices into the transport path. If a folded product is inserted between the guide devices, it deforms the bristles, which thereby exert a restoring force on the folded product. This restoring force of the bristles produces a clamping effect on the folded product, as a result of which the folded product is held in its upright position, while at the same time it is possible to move the folded product in the transport direction.
  • the rigidity of the bristles can be designed in such a way that the bristles enable the folded products to be reliably supported and, at the same time, to move the folded products easily and without damage.
  • the device further comprises a first and a second delimitation element, wherein the first delimitation element is arranged upstream of the delivery area in the transport direction and the second delimitation element is arranged downstream of the delivery area in the transport direction, and the first and second delimitation element delimit the delivery area at least during the Shifting the stack on both sides in the transport direction.
  • the stack of folded products is also supported on both sides in the transport direction, so that it retains its dimensions, especially when the stack is moved into the receptacle, and has a defined length that is required to receive the stack in the receptacle.
  • the stack of folded folded products which tend to retract to a certain extent after folding, can be compressed in the transport direction by the first and second delimitation elements in order to enable the stack of folded products to be reliably pushed into the receptacle without the foremost and rearmost folded product of the stack hit the edge of the receptacle.
  • first and the second delimitation element each have an opening or recess and a stamp of the displacement device extends at least during the displacement of the stack in the transport direction from the first delimitation element to the second delimitation element and into the opening or recess in the first and in the second delimitation element. This ensures that each folded product of the stack of folded products is grasped by the stamp without the stamp and the first and second delimiting elements interfering with one another.

  • the first and second delimitation elements 28, 30 and the punch 38 can be moved back in the opposite direction. It is preferred that the first and the second delimitation element 28, 30 are first moved out of the receptacle 36 so that the punch 38 retains the stack 8 during this time. This prevents individual folded products 6 from being pulled out of the receptacle 36 when the first and second delimiting elements 28, 30 are pulled out. As soon as the first and second delimitation elements 28, 30 have been removed from the receptacle 36, the punch 38 can also be withdrawn. The receptacle 36 equipped with folded products 6 is removed. A new, empty receptacle 36 is to be arranged at a corresponding distance from the delivery area 10.
  • a support surface 40 supports the folded products 6 from below.

  • the support surface 40 is formed by two support elements 39 which release the stack 8 before the stack 8 is moved into the receptacle 36 perpendicular to the transport direction T (see FIG Figures 9 and 10 ).
  • These support elements 39 are preferably designed as L-brackets, one leg of which protrudes downward.
  • the support elements 39 can be moved laterally outward from the delivery area 10 in order to form an opening in the support surface 40.
  • the shifting device 12 can then shift the stack 8 of folded products 6 perpendicular to the transport direction T into the receptacle 36. During lateral displacement, the lower legs of the support elements 39 also spread the receptacle 36 laterally.

  • the punch 38 extends in the transport direction T from the first delimitation element 28 to the second delimitation element 30 and into the opening in the first and in the second delimitation element 28, 30 in each case.
  • the punch 38 extends in the transport direction T through the first and second delimiting elements 28 and 30, as in FIG Figures 7 and 8 can be seen. This ensures that the displacement device 12 or the punch 38 also fully engages the folded products 6 of the stack 8, which directly adjoin the delimiting elements 28, 30. If the openings in the delimitation elements 28, 30 are formed as recesses in an edge of the delimitation elements 28, 30 facing the receptacle 36, this enables the delimitation elements 28, 30 to be completely removed from the receptacle 36 while the displacement device 12 is on the stack 8 remains attached.
