  • a transfer device is provided in the form of an industrial robot, which is designed as an articulated arm robot.
  • a support structure in the form of a pallet On a support structure in the form of a pallet, a large number of cartons are stacked one above the other and next to each other, each forming a storage unit. Two stacks of folding boxes are arranged side by side in each storage unit.
  • the transfer device takes a carton that is closed on all sides and feeds it to an opening device in which the carton is cut open so that a lid can be lifted off.
  • Two stacks of folding boxes are arranged side by side in the carton.
  • the transfer device takes one of the stacks of folded boxes and places it in an intermediate storage area, from where it is then transported to the packaging machine.
  • the second stack of folding boxes is then removed from the box and also placed in the interim storage area.
  • the empty carton is placed on a conveyor and removed.
  • the transfer device then grasps the next carton, opens it and removes the stacks of folded boxes contained therein one after the other in the manner mentioned.
  • the well-known refilling device for the stack of folded boxes of a packaging machine is not only complex in terms of construction, but it also takes a relatively long time before the carton is opened, the individual stacks of folded boxes are placed one after the other on the intermediate storage area and then fed to the packaging machine from there.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a filling device for a folding box store of a packaging machine, with which the folding box store can be quickly and easily filled and which produces as little packaging waste as possible.
  • a method for filling a folding box store of a packaging machine is to be created, with which the folding box store can be refilled quickly and easily.
  • the storage unit has at least one drawer, which is slidably mounted on the supporting structure.
  • the basic idea is to arrange the stack of folded boxes in a drawer from which the moving device removes the stack of folded boxes.
  • the stack of folded boxes is preferably accommodated in the drawer directly and without outer packaging, for example in the form of a cardboard box.
  • the stack of folded boxes is arranged in the drawer so that it is freely accessible, i.e. the moving device can preferably lift the stack of folded boxes upwards out of the drawer without first opening an outer packaging or removing another obstacle or a cover to have to.
  • a plurality of drawers are preferably mounted one above the other and/or next to one another on the supporting structure, so that the supporting structure has a large capacity for stacking folding boxes.
  • the several drawers are preferably all displaceable in parallel directions and can be pulled out on the same side of the supporting structure.
  • the support structure can be a frame or preferably a cabinet-like housing on which the drawer or drawers are slidably mounted are.
  • the drawers can be displaceable relative to the supporting structure independently of one another.
  • the drawers can be loaded with the stacks of folding boxes at a location remote from the packaging machine and possibly also in another factory and are then brought into the working area of the filling device or the transfer device.
  • the supporting structure is arranged on a carriage, so that the supporting structure can be moved with the drawers and the stacks of folding boxes located therein.
  • the chassis is assigned a drive device, for example an electric motor, with which the carrying device can be brought into the effective range of the transfer device and removed from it.
  • the travel movements of the carrying device can be controlled or automated by a user in that an automatically guided vehicle is used, which is controlled, for example, by means of induction loops embedded in the ground or by means of satellite communication.
  • An industrial robot in particular an articulated-arm robot that can carry a gripper head, is preferably used as the transfer device.
  • the transfer device can grip the stack of folding boxes if they are still in the drawer and lift them out of the drawer and insert them into the folding box store of the packaging machine.
  • the folding box store is preferably a vertical folding box shaft into which the stack of folded boxes is inserted vertically from above.
  • a further development of the invention can provide for the stack of folded boxes to be arranged in the drawer in such a way that it is at a distance from a wall of the drawer on at least two opposite sides having. In this way, a gap is formed between the wall of the drawer and the associated end face of the stack of folding boxes, in which the transfer device can engage in particular with the grippers of the gripper head.
  • each drawer can be adjusted and in particular moved between a rest position within the carrying device and a removal position in which the stack of folded boxes arranged in the drawer is accessible for the transfer device.
  • the transfer device is designed in such a way that the drawer can be displaced by means of the transfer device relative to the supporting structure, in particular between the rest position and the removal position.
  • a position detection device may be provided by means of which the position of the storage device and / or the drawer can be detected.
  • the position detection device preferably has a camera which can be attached to the gripper head of the transfer device. The camera is used to determine the position of the carrying device and/or the drawer by, for example, searching for a marking attached to the carrying device and/or the drawer and detecting its position.
  • either the position of the carrying device and/or the drawer is corrected to such an extent that a desired TARGET position is reached exactly or with only a small deviation. Additionally or alternatively, it is possible for a positional deviation of the support structure and/or the drawer to be compensated for by the controller of the relocating device carrying out a correspondingly corrected movement sequence adapted to the actual position of the support device and/or the drawer.
  • the above-mentioned object is achieved in that the storage unit is designed in the form of at least one drawer and that the drawer is moved from a rest position to a removal position before the stack of folded boxes is removed and after the removal of the or all stacks of folded boxes the removal position is moved to the rest position.
  • drawers can be arranged one above the other and/or next to one another on or in the support structure, which is preferably designed as a cabinet-like housing.
  • the drawers are preferably shifted one after the other between the rest position and the removal position.
  • a first drawer is moved into the removal position and then the stack or stacks of folded boxes are removed from the first drawer.
  • the first drawer is then moved back into its resting position, whereupon a second drawer is shifted from its resting position into the removal position and the stack or stacks of folding boxes located therein are then removed.
  • This procedure is continued until all drawers are emptied.
  • the support structure with the empty drawers is then removed manually or by means of a motor drive and a new support structure with several storage units in the form of drawers loaded with stacks of folding boxes is fed to the transfer device.
  • the storage device can preferably be moved, it being possible for it to be driven by a motor.
  • the storage device is moved to a TARGET position or at least brought close to a desired TARGET position.
  • a position detection device then checks whether the desired position has been reached. If this check reveals that the support structure with the drawers deviates from the TARGET position, either the position of the support structure is changed and/or the movement sequences of the transfer device are corrected and adjusted accordingly.
  • a support structure in the form of a box or cabinet-like housing supports a plurality of drawers arranged one above the other and/or next to one another, with at least one stack of folding boxes being arranged in each drawer.
  • the box-like or cabinet-like housing is mounted on a chassis and is brought into a SET position in the work area of the transfer device, which is designed as an articulated-arm robot.
  • a camera is arranged on the conversion device, which captures a predetermined marking on the cabinet-like housing and thus determines its position.
  • the controller of the transfer device thus knows where the individual drawers are located.
  • the articulated-arm robot carries a gripper head, with which a first drawer is first pulled out of the cabinet-like housing, i.e. brought from a rest position to a removal position.
  • a stack of folded boxes is arranged in the drawer without the outer packaging and is therefore freely accessible for the transfer device, without the stack of folded boxes having to be exposed beforehand.
  • the transfer device grips the stack of folding boxes with the gripper head and lifts it out of the drawer and places it in the folding box store.
  • drawers which are equipped with freely accessible stacks of folding boxes, has the advantage that no packaging waste is produced that has to be disposed of.
  • the folding box store can be refilled automatically with all the stacks of folded boxes located in the storage device or its drawers.
