Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for at least partial unfolding of pack jackets, in particular for forming pack bodies open on one side from pack jackets open on both sides for the production of filled packs. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for at least partial unfolding of pack jackets, in particular for forming pack bodies open on one side from pack jackets open on both sides for the production of filled packs with a magazine comprising a stack formed from pack jackets, the pack jackets of the stack by at least two in the longitudinal direction Fold edges running along the package jackets are folded flat and a gripper is provided for gripping a side of the pack jackets facing away from the stack and for moving, in particular pulling, the pack jackets along a take-off transport path with the fold edges in grooves of at least one receptacle of a forming station, and the grooves being spaced apart in this way are, so that the folding edges of the pack jackets are spaced further apart in the magazine than in the grooves.
  • Methods and devices for forming packing bodies open on one side from packing casings open on both sides have been known for some time.
  • the methods are used in particular to produce filled packs, with methods and devices for filling packs with products in different configurations also being known.
  • packaging bodies are understood to mean containers such as, for example, composite cardboard packaging, which are at least partially made of a packaging material laminate in the form of a laminate comprising a cardboard layer and outer, in particular thermoplastic, plastic layers, for example (PE).
  • the cardboard gives the packs sufficient stability so that the packs can be easily handled and, for example, stacked.
  • the plastic layers protect the carton from moisture and the food from absorbing unwanted substances from the pack.
  • further layers such as an aluminum layer, can be provided which prevent diffusion of oxygen and other gases through the packaging material laminate.
  • Corresponding packaging bodies are typically filled with products in the form of food, in particular beverages, whereby predominantly flowable products come into question as products.
  • the packing bodies are filled with food in a sterile or aseptic environment of a filling machine, since the food should have a long shelf life after the packs have been filled.
  • the filling machines have, for example, sterilization rooms or aseptic chambers in which the pack bodies are sterilized and then filled and closed under as sterile conditions as possible. After the packing bodies have been filled, they are typically closed in the filling machine. When using appropriate packaging material laminates, the packaging body is closed by sealing the open end.
  • the pack bodies are preferably formed on the filling machine from pack jackets, which in turn are produced from packaging material laminate blanks, in particular by sealing the longitudinal edges of the packaging material laminate blanks onto one another.
  • the inner longitudinal edge can be folded outwards in order to prevent moisture from penetrating into the packaging material laminate, in particular the cardboard box.
  • Packing jackets formed from a packaging material laminate, which are open at the opposite longitudinal ends, are produced in this way.
  • the pack jackets are pre-folded along four fold lines running longitudinally to the pack jacket, whereby fold edges are created which form the later edges of the pack, which typically forms a square or rectangular cross-section.
  • the packing coats will drop by two opposite folding edges folded flat. Two of the pre-folded fold lines are then folded back again.
  • the packing jacket then essentially forms two sections running parallel to one another and lying one on top of the other.
  • the flat-folded pack sleeves are transferred as a stack to a magazine of the filling machine.
  • the front section of the package jacket at the front end of the stack i.e. the front side of the flat-folded package jacket
  • the front section of the package jacket at the front end of the stack i.e. the front side of the flat-folded package jacket
  • the package jacket unfolding typically until an at least substantially square or rectangular cross-section is formed.
  • Both the front side and the rear side of the flat folded package jacket each form two of the four sides of the unfolded package jacket.
  • the unfolding also takes place along the pre-folded folding lines, two of which have formed the folding edges of the folded packaging casing, since the packaging material laminate can be easily creased or folded along the, in particular pre-folded, folding lines.
  • the correspondingly unfolded pack jacket is then pulled onto a mandrel of a so-called mandrel wheel, the cross section of the mandrel corresponding to the cross section of the pack jacket.
  • the pack jacket initially protrudes outwards over the mandrel, so that the protruding part of the pack jacket can be folded against the end face of the mandrel and pressed and sealed there.
  • the corresponding longitudinal end of the pack jacket is closed in this way and regularly forms the bottom of the later filled pack.
  • the closed end of the pack jacket could also form the head of the later pack if it is filled through the open bottom, for example.
  • the pack bodies which are open on one side, are fed into a sterilization zone of the filling machine. This usually takes place in that the packing bodies are transferred one after the other to the cells of a transport device receiving the packing bodies.
  • the transport device then ensures that the pack bodies are transported through the sterilization zone of the filling machine at a defined speed at a defined distance from one another.
  • the package bodies are preheated with hot sterile air and then, typically with hydrogen peroxide, sterilized and dried with sterile air.
  • the sterile packaging bodies are transferred to the filling and sealing zone and filled there. The opening of the filled pack body is then closed before the closed pack is transported out of the filling and sealing zone via the transport device and then removed from the corresponding cells of the transport device.
  • the package bodies are transported in a straight line through the filling machine by the transport device.
  • Corresponding filling machines are also referred to as cross-country machines.
  • the so-called rotary machines the packing bodies describe a more or less arc-shaped movement which can include one or more circular arc sections.
  • the present invention basically relates to both types of filling machines.
  • a method and a device for operating a forming station for unfolding package jackets removed from a magazine and folded flat for pushing them onto a mandrel of a mandrel wheel is disclosed, for example, in US Pat WO 2013/053646 A1 described.
  • Other fixtures are off U.S. 3,750,931 A , EP 0 356 824 A1 , U.S. 4,921,237 A and US 2012/240528 A1 known.
  • malfunctions of these and other forming stations occur time and again. This is because the pack jackets do not regularly unfold in the way that is actually intended in terms of the method or device.
  • the stated object is also achieved in a device according to the preamble of claim 9 in that the gripper and / or the grooves are driven by a drive for moving the portion of the package jacket gripped by the gripper, first along the pull-off transport path over a groove plane connecting the grooves, and then against it the haul-off conveyor back over the groove level and is then assigned again along the haul-off transport path across the groove plane.
  • the basic principle when unfolding packaging jackets is that the packaging jackets are first drawn into at least one receptacle, the folding edges of the pack jackets engaging in grooves which are arranged at such a distance from one another that the packaging jackets can easily be accommodated in the grooves be compressed.
  • the purpose of compressing the pack jackets over the folding edges of the same is that the pack jackets unfold at least slightly.
  • the compression of the pack jackets before they are received in the grooves will, if necessary, be even more pronounced, since the grooves are preferably designed as an undercut in the direction of transport.
  • the package jackets, which are initially folded flat, are therefore moved against a corresponding resistance by the gripper acting on only one side of the pack jacket.
  • the front and / or the back of the flat-folded pack jacket can crease by at least one fold line instead of being bent entirely.
  • the direction of the bends and the direction of the kinks is basically the same and preferably as described above. The only difference is that the acting forces bend a surface or, if this has a weakening in the form of a fold line, fold the adjacent surface sections around the fold line.
  • the fold lines can be provided in various ways. For example, it is possible to pre-fold the packaging laminate at the fold lines. As an alternative or in addition, it is also possible to make a crease in the pack laminate to form the fold line.
  • the packaging laminate is compressed line by line by a creasing tool, for example a narrow wheel, and thus weakened along the corresponding line, i.e. the fold line. Further methods known per se for introducing fold lines into packaging laminates are conceivable.
  • the front and back sides of the initially flat-folded package sleeves do not bend or fold in different directions as previously described. Rather, it can happen that not only the front side of a pack jacket, but also its rear side is bent or folded in the transport direction, while the pack jacket with the folded edges is received in the grooves of the at least one receptacle.
  • the front side and the rear side with the exception of the folded edges received in the grooves, are arranged in the transport direction behind the groove plane running through the grooves.
  • pack sleeves which in addition to the two fold edges for folding the pack jackets flat, also have at least one fold line on the back of the flat-folded pack jacket, work can basically be done more smoothly, since the fold line ensures that the back is easier to move in the right direction, i.e. against the direction of transport of the packing jacket, is kinked.
  • the fold line ensures that the back is easier to move in the right direction, i.e. against the direction of transport of the packing jacket, is kinked.
  • disturbances cannot be ruled out, as practice shows.
  • the invention has now recognized that the at least partial unfolding of the packs can be reliably achieved if the gripper is not moved in the transport direction along the pull-off transport path to an end position and is there separated from the pack jacket. Rather, the gripper is moved back again in order to bend or kink the rear side of the package jacket backwards in the direction of the stack. For this purpose, the gripper is moved back against the actual transport direction to such an extent that the front side of the package jacket is no longer arranged in the transport direction of the package jacket behind, but in front of the groove plane defined by the grooves receiving the folds. This ensures that the back is bent or folded against the direction of transport.
  • the gripper is then adjusted again in the actual transport direction and preferably moved into an end position which can but does not have to be the end position already reached before moving back, namely before the gripper releases the corresponding pack casing.
  • This ensures that the front of the package jacket is bent or kinked forwards as desired in relation to the groove plane in the transport plane. Together with the rear side of the pack jacket that is bent or kinked backwards with respect to the groove plane, this results in an at least partially unfolded pack jacket held in the grooves.
  • the gripper After the gripper pulls the pack jacket has released or released, the gripper is moved back to the stack of pack jackets in order to grip another pack jacket there and position it in the same way with a short movement back and forth, at least partially unfolded, in the grooves of the at least one receptacle.
  • the pack jackets received with the folded edges in the grooves of the at least one receptacle are moved back, in particular pressed, by the gripper at least in sections against the transport direction along the pull-off transport path.
  • This moving back or pushing back preferably also affects the rear side of the flat-folded package jacket.
  • at least the section of the package jacket gripped by the gripper in particular the section of the front side of the initially flat-folded package jacket gripped by the gripper, is moved, in particular pulled, again by the gripper in the direction of the withdrawal transport path.
  • the packing jackets remain received in the grooves with the folded edges, which here separate the rear side of the packing laminate and the front side of the packing laminate from one another or connect them to one another.
  • the gripper preferably only lets go of the front side of the package jacket when the rear side of the package jacket, viewed in the transport direction of the package jacket, is bent or kinked backwards and at the same time the front side is bent or kinked in the direction of the transport direction.
  • the groove holding the pack jacket can also be moved back and forth in order to achieve a reliable partial unfolding of the pack jacket.
  • the gripper can remain in one position for the sake of simplicity. However, this does not have to be the case.
  • the grooves are moved relative to the gripper. So that the same relative movements are achieved between the gripper and the groove as described above, the grooves are initially moved and / or pressed further in the direction of the transport direction or in the direction of the trigger transport path with respect to the gripper. The front and the back of the pack jacket can thus be bent or kinked against the direction of the pull-off transport path.
  • the countermovement then takes place, in which the grooves holding the pack jacket are moved back again with respect to the gripper, specifically against the direction of the pull-off transport path. Since the gripper continues to hold the front of the package jacket, the front remains in the position that has already been assumed, bent and / or kinked in the direction of the pull-off transport path. However, by moving the grooves back in the opposite direction, the rear side is bent and / or kinked, so that a reliable, at least partial unfolding of the package jacket is achieved.
  • the device accordingly provides that the gripper and / or the grooves have a drive for moving the section of the pack jacket gripped by the gripper, i.e. based on the flat-folded state of the pack jackets in the stack of the magazine on the front of the pack jacket, initially along the pull-off transport path over one of the grooves connecting groove level is assigned across.
  • This can preferably be achieved by moving the gripper in order to pull the package jacket off the stack.
  • the pack jacket is moved back over the groove plane counter to the withdrawal transport path.
  • the gripper can now be moved forwards again in the transport direction and / or the grooves can now be moved backwards again against the transport direction, since the rear side of the package jacket is now reliably retained in its shape.
  • the front side of the package jacket is thus again moved, in particular pulled, along the pull-off transport path in the transport direction over the groove plane, so that the front side of the package jacket is reliably bent or kinked in the direction of the transport direction.
  • the gripper can now detach itself from the pack jacket, since the pack jacket is held with the folded edges in the grooves of the at least one receptacle as desired and is at least partially unfolded.
  • the pack jackets are at least partially bent and / or kinked in the grooves in a direction defined by the take-off transport path.
  • the pack jackets are thus received in the grooves, if necessary, and at the same time are at least partially bent and / or kinked in the transport direction beyond the groove plane extending between the grooves.
  • the transport direction is defined by the haul-off transport path.
  • the correspondingly curved and / or kinked part of the pack jacket is preferably the portion of the pack jacket gripped by the gripper and / or the front side of the pack jacket in relation to the flat-folded state of the pack jacket that has been removed from the magazine.
  • the pack jackets are held in the grooves while partially moving back against the transport direction along the pull-off transport path, but the pack jacket is bent and / or kinked at least in sections against the transport direction defined by the pull-off transport path.
  • the correspondingly bent and / or kinked section is preferred, a section that is not gripped by the gripper and / or the rear side of the package jacket in the flat-folded state.
  • the corresponding section preferably remains in this position, while another section of the package jacket, namely in particular the section of the package jacket that is gripped by the gripper, preferably by repositioning the gripper in the transport direction along the transport path and / or the grooves counter to the transport direction along the transport path is bent and / or kinked again in the opposite direction.
  • the fold lines remain in the grooves.
  • the section of the package jacket gripped by the gripper can only be inserted into Transport direction, then against the transport direction and finally bent back into the transport direction.

  • a feed device 98 of the forming station 84 is shown, the task of which is to forward the pack jackets 63 held in the grooves 97 of the channel 95 down to an unfolding device 83 in which the pack jackets 63 are then completely unfolded.
  • the feed device 98 is held on a cross member 119, which is held on lateral vertical guides 121 via slides 120 and can be moved up and down in the vertical direction.
  • the carriages 120 have rollers 123 which can roll on the lateral guides 121, which are rod-shaped.
  • the feed device 98 also has two fingers 124, which in an upper position above the channel 95 or is arranged at least above the package jackets 63 drawn through the channel 95 and held in the grooves 97.
  • the feed device 98 can be moved up and down in a controlled manner via a belt drive 125 which is motor-driven via a drive 126.
  • the belt 127 is placed as a closed belt 127 around two deflection rollers 128, of which one deflection roller can be driven in opposite directions via the motor drive 126 as required.
  • the feed device 98 moves or the fingers 124 move downwards.
  • the fingers 124 grip the upper longitudinal end of the pack jacket 63 from above and press the pack jacket 63 downwards along the grooves 97.
  • the fingers 124 then move upwards again and another packing jacket 63 is drawn through the channel 95 into the grooves 97.
  • the packing jacket 63 is, as it leaves the channel 97, downward from the, in particular, into the Figures 14A-B groove elements 129 shown, which at least directly adjoin the channel 95 in the shown and insofar preferred forming station 84, even if the groove elements 129 are separate elements.
  • the groove elements 129 provide grooves 130 which are aligned with the grooves 97 of the channel 95.
  • the packing jacket 63 is guided with its folded edges 65 further into the grooves 130 of the groove elements 129.
  • the groove elements 129 also extend downward into the two mold halves 100,101 of the unfolding device 83 Feed device 98 is pushed down from the channel 95 between the mold halves 100,101.
  • the mold halves 100, 101 are closed, the groove elements 129 with the mold halves 100, 101 being moved towards one another.
  • the grooves 130 of the groove elements 129 press against the folding edges 65 of the package jacket 63, which is unfolded in this way and in the process rests against the inner contour of the mold 99 formed by the mold halves 100, 101.
  • the groove elements 129 are, as is particularly in the Fig. 15 is shown, pressed together against the restoring force of two spring elements 131 provided between the groove elements 129. This ensures that the groove elements 129 are moved apart again into the starting position when the mold 99 is opened or when the mold halves are moved apart.
  • the unfolding device is shown in horizontal sections from above.
  • the mold halves 100,101 or the mold 99 is in the open position.
  • Two actuating cylinders 132 are provided one above the other, each of which has a plunger 133 which is displaceable in the actuating cylinder 132 and which is connected to a mold half 100, 101 via a rod 134.
  • the actuating cylinders 132 are designed in such a way that they can pneumatically or hydraulically move the respective associated mold half 100, 101 into the closed position.
  • the mold halves 100,101 get into the Figure 16C shown closed position with the unfolded pack jacket 63 in between, which rests against the inner contour of the mold 99 formed from the mold halves 100,101.
  • the mold halves 100, 101 are held together with the actuating cylinders 132 on a cross member 135, which can be moved vertically up and down on the lateral guides 121 via slides 136. In this way, the mold 99 or the mold halves 100, 101 can be moved downwards in the closed position and upwards in the open position.
  • the carriages 136 run up and down on the rod-shaped guides 121 via rollers 137.
  • the traverse 135 is driven by a belt drive 138 which is driven by a motor drive 139.
  • the belt 140 is placed as a closed belt 140 circumferentially around two deflection rollers 141, of which one deflection roller 141 can be driven in opposite directions via the motor drive 139 as required.
  • the corresponding unit can be understood as a transfer device 144.
  • the lateral guides 121, the belt drives 125, 138 and the motor drives 126, 139 are held and mounted on a common frame 142. Furthermore, a cross member 143 holding the groove elements 129 is fixed in place in the common frame 142. The groove elements 129 can therefore be moved together and again apart, but cannot be moved up and down. The groove elements 129 therefore retain their position when the mold 99 is moved downwards.
  • the form 99 When the form 99 is shut down, as shown in particular in the Fig. 16 is shown, the folded pack jacket 63 pushed onto the mandrel 86 of the mandrel wheel 85 arranged below.
  • the mold 99 can then be opened, which can take place through the restoring force of the spring means 131 arranged between the groove elements 129 instead of through the actuating cylinders 132. But this is not necessary.
  • the mold halves 100, 101 are moved upward via the Trasverse 135 in order to receive a further pack jacket 63 for unfolding.
  • the groove elements 129 are not adjusted vertically, the groove elements 129 can, if necessary, take up a new pack jacket 63 after opening the mold 99, while the mold 99 is moved back to its upper position in order to take the pack jacket 63 in this position and unfold it.
