Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging device for articles or article groups and a method for applying a cardboard blank to an article or an article group according to the features of the independent claims.
  • packaging for processing, assembling, grouping and packaging articles such as, for example, beverage containers, for example the combination of the articles or containers into portable, relatively manageable packaging units.
  • beverage containers are usually combined and packaged using shrink films to form packs of four, six or more containers.
  • the production of containers is usually unavoidable as they represent the most common variant of sales units for beverage containers or bottles made of PET plastic.
  • the containers are partially combined again for transport and / or put together in layers and palletized.
  • One variant in which the use of shrink film can be dispensed with are so-called strapping containers.
  • the containers are combined into a bundle using so-called strapping bands and connected to one another.
  • Containers and articles are made in continuously or intermittently operating strapping machines or bottles are grouped into formations and then strapped with one or more straps using strapping units.
  • Typical formations can be, for example, 1x2 arrangements (two containers in a row), 2x2 arrangements (four containers in a square or in a diamond formation), 3x2, 4x3 or, in principle, also variable nxm arrangements.
  • top cardboard packaging is known, for example to combine several bottles over their neck areas.
  • a packaging machine for placing such top cardboard packaging is in the patent EP 1075419 B1 described.
  • the articles are arranged in a box and the cardboard packaging is placed from above onto the at least one article arranged in the box.
  • a plurality of articles are arranged in the box, and sub-groups are formed by placing a smaller number of upper gripping cardboard packaging on top, each of which combines a part of the articles arranged in the box.
  • the object of the invention is to ensure the quality and correct design of containers produced within a packaging device for subsequent processing and / or sale.
  • the articles to which a packaging blank is applied by means of the packaging device are preferably beverage containers, in particular bottles or cans.
  • the packaging device is also suitable for arranging a corresponding packaging blank on other suitable articles and fixing them to them.
  • the articles or article groups each comprising at least two articles are fed to a first handling device via a first feeding transport device.
  • the first handling device is in particular a so-called application module which is designed to fix at least one packaging blank on the article or the article group while forming a bundle.
  • a packaging blank is preferably placed on the article or the group of articles and by an at least partially downward force, in particular a downward force Directional pressure, at least partially pressed onto the article or articles of the article group and thereby fixed to them.
  • Such a packaging blank is, for example, essentially flat and has openings which are designed in such a way that they are slipped onto the article from above, so that after the packaging blank has been attached to at least one article or to the group of articles, the articles are located above and below are in some areas below the packaging blank.
  • a defined upper area of the article or the articles of the article group is preferably located above the packaging blank, while a defined lower area of the article or the articles of the article group is arranged below the packaging blank.
  • the openings of the packaging blank have fixing devices, for example fixing tabs are made by incisions or the like extending radially from the openings. educated. After the packaging blank has been arranged and fastened to the articles, it is in engagement with the articles in such a way that the packaging blank is essentially fixed in place on the articles. Thus, the packaging blank can only be removed again from the article or the articles of the article group with an increased expenditure of force with an upward force component, the packaging blank usually being at least partially destroyed.
  • Such packaging blanks are also referred to as top cardboard packaging.
  • the packaging blank preferably consists of a cardboard material, a plastic material, a cardboard-plastic composite material or the like.

  • the inspection device is formed, for example, by a camera with image recognition.
  • the images of the respective container captured by the camera are for example analyzed by appropriate software to determine whether a packaging blank is arranged on the article or the articles of the article group and / or whether the packaging blank specified on the article or the articles of the article group is in order and in particular no cracks, kinks or the like. having.
  • the packaging blank is correctly arranged on the articles, that is to say whether, for example, the upper portion of the article has been pushed through the packaging blank in the desired manner by the first handling device.
  • the correct filling status of the articles can also be checked. Further suitable inspection devices are known to the person skilled in the art and are also intended to be covered by the present application.
  • a container is identified as defective due to at least one of the above-mentioned defects or other defects obvious to a person skilled in the art, then this defective container is removed from the container flow. In particular, this prevents defective containers from being sent for further processing.
  • a removal device for faulty containers is preferably assigned to the inspection device, in particular for faulty articles or article groups with or without a packaging cut.
  • the data determined by the inspection device are preferably transmitted to a control device of the handling device and / or the packaging device, which controls the removal device upon detection of a defective container.
  • the container identified as defective is removed from the product flow by the removal device and, for example, transferred to a buffer area assigned to the handling device.
  • the defective container is finally removed from the product flow and then, for example, fed to a destruction.
  • a defective packaging blank is removed from the defective container and a new packaging blank is attached to the article or the group of articles, forming a new, corrected container becomes.
  • the newly formed container can then be reintegrated into the product flow and fed to further processing.
  • a removal tool is assigned to the buffer area, with which the defective packaging blank is removed from the defective container, so that the article or the article group is now again formed and / or arranged in the buffer area.
  • a new packaging blank can be applied to the article or group of articles arranged in the buffer area, for example by means of a second handling device assigned to the buffer area or by corresponding control of the first handling device, whereby a new, in particular a so-called corrected container is formed.
  • the article or the article group is introduced into the article feed before the first handling device and thus a packaging blank is again applied to the article or the article group by the first handling device.
  • the corrected container is also subjected to an inspection before it is sent for further processing. This is to prevent any containers that are defective when a new packaging blank is applied from being subsequently processed.
  • at least one second inspection device is assigned to the buffer area, which monitors the arrangement and / or design of the packaging blank on the article or the article group. If a faulty arrangement of the packaging blank or another defect on the packaging blank is found, it can be removed again from the article or the article group using the removal tool, for example, and replaced by another new packaging blank.
  • the corrected container is introduced into the product flow in front of the at least one first inspection device, viewed in the transport direction, so that the corresponding monitoring takes place by the at least one first inspection device. This is possible in particular if the containers produced are each fed to the inspection at a distance from one another.
  • the packaging device comprises a strapping device.
  • the strapping device is used in particular to attach at least one band-like or strip-like, closed strapping to additionally hold the articles of the article group together.

  • Such a connection means that the articles can no longer be shifted in the container thus created, so that a defined package arrangement is maintained.
  • the strapping device can be arranged either in front of or behind the first handling device. That is, according to one embodiment, the articles of an article group are first combined by means of at least one strapping and then the packaging blank is determined on the strapped article group. Alternatively, the packaging blank can also first be fixed on the article or the article group and then additional strapping can be attached.
  • At least one second inspection device can be provided, which detects the design and quality of the at least one strapping. For example, the position of the strapping on the articles can be recorded. Furthermore, it can be detected whether the strapping has sufficient tension and / or whether the strapping is correctly closed. If defects are detected, the container identified as defective is also to be discharged from the product flow in this case.
  • the first inspection device which monitors the presence, arrangement and quality of the packaging blank on the articles, is additionally designed and suitable for detecting defects in the strapping.
  • the first inspection device is arranged at a position behind the first handling device and the strapping device, so that an inspection takes place regardless of which packaging material is applied to the articles first.
  • the articles are additionally fixed to one another by means of an adhesive connection and then the packaging blank is attached.
  • This has the advantage that the position of the articles before and / or when the packaging blank is applied is defined in relation to one another and, in particular, the articles cannot move against one another.
