The housings are parallel between them and receive forks of a handling engine e.g. power lift truck. A groove (15) and another groove is located parallel to the housings for permitting passage of a lifting arm of a packing machine. A centering unit is formed of rods (20) and permits centering of the cardboard plates on the base. An independent claim is also included for a method for supplying cardboard plates to a packing machine.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'emballage. Elle vise le conditionnement automatique d'articles dans une enveloppe en carton ou autre matériau semi rigide équivalent, telle qu'une barquette. The present invention relates to the field of packaging. It aims the automatic packaging of articles in a cardboard envelope or other equivalent semi-rigid material, such as a tray.

Le conditionnement automatique d'articles consiste à réaliser une enveloppe en carton autour desdits articles à partir d'une découpe plane que l'on met en volume de façon automatique. La machine à emballer comprend de façon générale une entrée en amont formant station de chargement de plaques de carton découpées et rainurées de façon à pouvoir être mises en volume et collées en une succession d'opérations élémentaires le long des différentes stations qui constituent la machine. La plaque est pliée autour de lignes de pliages de façon à constituer l'enveloppe autour des produits à conditionner. The automatic packaging of articles consists in making a cardboard envelope around said articles from a plane cut that is automatically made volume. The packaging machine generally comprises an inlet upstream forming a loading station of cardboard plates cut and grooved so that they can be set in volume and glued in a succession of elementary operations along the different stations which constitute the machine. The plate is folded around fold lines so as to form the envelope around the products to be packaged.

L'invention concerne en particulier les machines comprenant un module d'alimentation en plaques découpées et à plat. The invention relates in particular to machines comprising a feed module in cut and flat plates.

Les plaques sont présentées sous la forme d'une pile disposée sur un chariot de chargement. Un organe de levage constitué d'une paire de bras est glissé sous la pile et la soulève pas à pas de telle façon que la plaque située sur le dessus soit amenée au niveau de moyens de préhension qui prélèvent les plaques découpées une à une pour les déposer sur un moyen d'entraînement en translation au travers de différents postes qui vont progressivement assurer leur mise en volume. The plates are presented in the form of a stack arranged on a loading trolley. A lifting member consisting of a pair of arms is slid under the stack and lifts it stepwise so that the plate located on the top is brought to the level of gripping means which take the cut plates one by one for the deposit on a drive means in translation through different positions that will gradually ensure their volume.

Toutes ces opérations sont réalisées automatiquement ou bien manuellement en partie. All these operations are performed automatically or manually in part.

Pour le conditionnement de produits alimentaires des précautions garantissant la propreté à chaque étape du processus doivent être prises. For the packaging of food products precautions ensuring cleanliness at every step of the process must be taken.

Un moyen connu consiste à charger des chariots de chargement métalliques avec les plaques découpées dans l'atelier de découpe des plaques de carton et à les transférer jusqu'à l'usine où les produits alimentaires sont emballés. Le chariot de chargement est conduit devant la station de chargement de la machine sans avoir à manipuler les découpes. Les découpes sont de cette façon maintenues propres. Cependant cette solution présente l'inconvénient de devoir faire circuler les chariots de chargement depuis la station d'emballage après que les prédécoupes ont été prélevées et les chariots de chargement vidés jusqu'en amont vers la station de chargement des chariots de chargement. Ces derniers sont de préférence en métal afin de pouvoir être maintenus en l'état de propreté requis par les articles à emballer. En outre ils sont pourvus d'un moyen de centrage formé de tiges placées perpendiculairement au centre du support formant socle. One known means is to load metal loading trolleys with the cut plates in the cutting plant of the cardboard plates and to transfer them to the factory where the food products are packaged. The loading trolley is driven in front of the loading station of the machine without having to handle the cutouts. The cuts are in this way kept clean. However, this solution has the disadvantage of having to move the loading carts from the packaging station after the precuts have been removed and the loading carts emptied upstream to the loading carts loading station. These are preferably metal so that they can be maintained in the state of cleanliness required by the articles to be packaged. In addition they are provided with a centering means formed of rods placed perpendicularly to the center of the base support.

Assurer la rotation des chariots de chargement est une opération onéreuse en raison par exemple des tiges de centrage qui ne sont pas démontables et de l'encombrement de l'ensemble qui en résulte. La présente invention a pour objet la réalisation de dispositifs de manutention des plaques de carton qui permettent de faire l'économie de cette rotation de chariots de chargement particulièrement lourds et encombrants. 10 On résout ce problème, conformément à l'invention, avec un dispositif de manutention de plaques en carton formant une pile, telle que destinée à alimenter une machine à emballer pourvue d'un mécanisme de chargement avec bras de levage, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend un 15 socle de réception desdites plaques avec deux logements parallèles entre eux agencés pour recevoir les fourches d'un engin de manutention ainsi qu'au moins une gorge parallèle auxdits logements et ouverte sur le dessus permettant le passage d'un bras de levage de machine à emballer. 20 Grâce au dispositif de l'invention, on peut alimenter la machine sans avoir à transporter et assurer la rotation des chariots de chargement entre l'atelier de découpe des plaques de carton, qui peut être distant de l'emplacement de la machine, et la machine. Le socle peut être réalisé en 25 un matériau économique comme le carton qui peut être revalorisé après usage. Le poids du dispositif plein est bien inférieur à celui d'un chariot de chargement de l'art antérieur. Il suffit enfin de déposer le dispositif au moyen d'un engin de manutention, du type chariot élévateur notamment, sur de simples chariots de chargement à proximité de la machine pour la 30 mise en place dans la zone de chargement des découpes par la machine. To ensure the rotation of the loading trolleys is an expensive operation due for example to the centering rods which are not removable and congestion of the resulting assembly. The present invention relates to the production of handling devices of the cardboard plates that can save the rotation of particularly heavy and bulky loading carts. This problem is solved, according to the invention, with a cardboard plate handling device forming a battery, such as to feed a packaging machine provided with a loading mechanism with lifting arms, characterized by the fact that it comprises a base 15 for receiving said plates with two housings parallel to each other arranged to receive the forks of a handling machine and at least one groove parallel to said housing and open on the top allowing the passage of an arm lifting machine packing. Thanks to the device of the invention, it is possible to feed the machine without having to transport and rotate the loading carriages between the cardboard board cutting workshop, which can be remote from the machine location, and the machine. The base can be made of an economical material such as cardboard which can be upgraded after use. The weight of the solid device is much less than that of a loading trolley of the prior art. Finally, it is sufficient to deposit the device by means of a handling machine, of the lift truck type in particular, on simple loading carriages near the machine for the positioning of the cutouts by the machine in the loading zone.

Conformément à une autre caractéristique, le dispositif comprend un moyen de centrage des plaques de carton sur le socle. Le moyen de centrage des plaques sur le socle comprend avantageusement au moins 35 une tige dressée perpendiculairement au socle. According to another feature, the device comprises a means for centering the cardboard plates on the base. The centering means of the plates on the base advantageously comprises at least one rod erected perpendicular to the base.

Selon un mode de réalisation le socle comprend deux éléments formant poutres avec chacun un logement intérieur pour le passage desdites fourches. Plus particulièrement, il comprend un élément central en forme 40 de poutre ménageant avec les deux éléments formant poutres deux gorges pour le guidage des bras de levage. Les tiges sont préférentiellement fixées sur ledit élément central.5 La présente invention porte également sur un procédé d'alimentation d'une machine à emballer en plaques de carton découpées, la machine étant pourvue d'un mécanisme de chargement avec un organe de levage comprenant un bras de levage. Le procédé comprend les étapes de chargement d'un dispositif de l'invention avec une pile de plaques découpées ainsi que sa mise en place devant la machine de manière à ce que les bras de levage soient glissés dans les gorges sous la pile de découpes en carton. Plus particulièrement le dispositif est amené devant la machine en étant placé sur un chariot de chargement. According to one embodiment the base comprises two beam elements each with an inner housing for the passage of said forks. More particularly, it comprises a beam-shaped central element forming with the two beam elements two grooves for guiding the lifting arms. The rods are preferably attached to said central member. The present invention also relates to a method of feeding a packaging machine into cut cardboard plates, the machine being provided with a loading mechanism with a lifting member comprising a lifting arm. The method comprises the steps of loading a device of the invention with a stack of cut plates as well as its positioning in front of the machine so that the lifting arms are slid into the grooves under the stack of cutouts. cardboard. More particularly, the device is brought in front of the machine by being placed on a loading trolley.

L'invention est maintenant décrite plus en détail en référence aux dessins annexés représentant un mode de réalisation non limitatif et sur lesquels La figure 1 représente un dispositif de l'invention vu en perspective avec le socle et deux tiges formant un moyen de centrage des découpes disposées sur le socle La figure 2 montre le socle seul sans les tiges de centrage La figure 3 représente une plaque de carton convenablement rainurée et découpée pour former le socle de la figure 2. La figure 4 montre le dispositif placé sur un chariot de chargement, en situation d'utilisation. The invention is now described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings showing a non-limiting embodiment and in which Figure 1 shows a device of the invention seen in perspective with the base and two rods forming a means for centering the blanks. Fig. 2 shows the base alone without the centering rods. Fig. 3 shows a board plate suitably grooved and cut to form the base of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 shows the device placed on a loading carriage, in use situation.

La figure 1 montre le dispositif 1 de l'invention. II est composé d'un socle 10 et d'un moyen de centrage des plaques de carton 20 découpées que l'on désigne aussi découpes. Le socle est réalisé avantageusement en carton ou autre matériau semi rigide similaire tel que des plaques en matière plastique alvéolaire. Figure 1 shows the device 1 of the invention. It is composed of a base 10 and a centering means of the cut cardboard plates 20 which are also called blanks. The base is advantageously made of cardboard or other similar semi-rigid material such as sheets of cellular plastic.

Ce socle sert de support à un empilement de plaques de carton ou autre matériau, non représentées, destinées à être chargées sur une machine à emballer automatique. Cette machine n'est pas représentée non plus. Les plaques sont découpées et rainées de manière à pouvoir être pliées et mises en volume pour former une enveloppe, barquette par exemple, dans laquelle sont conditionnés les articles à emballer. This base serves to support a stack of cardboard plates or other material, not shown, intended to be loaded on an automatic packaging machine. This machine is not represented either. The plates are cut and grooved so that they can be folded and set to form an envelope, for example a tray, in which the articles to be packaged are packaged.

Le dispositif comprend également un moyen de centrage et de référencement des plaques découpées, constitué ici de deux tiges fixées au socle, perpendiculairement au plan du socle. The device also comprises means for centering and referencing the cut plates, here constituted by two rods fixed to the base, perpendicular to the plane of the base.

Le socle est conformé de manière à ménager trois poutres 11, 12 et 13 parallèles entre elles, et situées sur une base 14. La poutre centrale 12 est séparée des deux autres poutres 11 et 13, de chaque côté, par une gorge, 15 et 17 respectivement. Des ouvertures 11A et 13A sont pratiquées sur les faces avant, à droite sur la figure, des deux poutres latérales. Elles sont perpendiculaires à la direction longitudinale des poutres. La hauteur des poutres 11 et 13 ainsi que la largeur des ouvertures 11A et 13A sont suffisantes pour permettre le passage des fourches d'un chariot élévateur de manutention et former des logements 11B et 13B pour ces fourches. Ce type de chariot élévateur est bien connu en soi, il est utilisé dans les usines pour la manutention des objets lourds et encombrants tels que des palettes ou autres. The base is shaped so as to provide three beams 11, 12 and 13 parallel to each other, and located on a base 14. The central beam 12 is separated from the other two beams 11 and 13, on each side, by a groove, 15 and 17 respectively. Apertures 11A and 13A are made on the front faces, on the right in the figure, of the two lateral beams. They are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the beams. The height of the beams 11 and 13 and the width of the openings 11A and 13A are sufficient to allow the passage of the forks of a forklift handling and form housing 11B and 13B for these forks. This type of forklift is well known per se, it is used in factories for the handling of heavy and bulky objects such as pallets or others.

Le moyen de centrage est constitué de deux tiges s'étendant perpendiculairement au socle depuis la poutre centrale 12. Les fourches d'un chariot élévateur sont engagées à l'intérieur des poutres latérales pour soulever l'ensemble du dispositif et de la pile de plaques découpées que le dispositif supporte. L'entre axe entre les poutres correspond donc à celui des fourches du chariot élévateur. The centering means consists of two rods extending perpendicularly to the base from the central beam 12. The forks of a forklift are engaged inside the lateral beams to lift the entire device and the stack of plates cut that the device supports. The inter-axis between the beams therefore corresponds to that of the forks of the forklift.

L'entre axe entre les gorges 15 et 17 est défini de manière à permettre l'introduction d'un organe de levage sous la pile de découpes présentes sur le socle. Le dispositif est adapté pour servir un organe de levage formé d'une paire de barres de levage ayant le même entre axe que les gorges. The inter-axis between the grooves 15 and 17 is defined so as to allow the introduction of a lifting member under the stack of cuts present on the base. The device is adapted to serve a lifting member formed of a pair of lifting bars having the same between the axis as the grooves.

On a représenté sur la figure 2 le socle 10, seul, sans les deux tiges 20. On voit les deux logements 12A et 12B circulaires pour les deux tiges 20. FIG. 2 shows the base 10, alone, without the two rods 20. The two circular housings 12A and 12B are seen for the two rods 20.

La figure 3 montre la plaque de carton ou autre matériau semi rigide qui permet de réaliser le socle de la figure 2. Cette plaque est de préférence découpée et rainurée pour obtenir le socle par sirnple pliage et collage. FIG. 3 shows the cardboard plate or other semi-rigid material which makes it possible to make the base of FIG. 2. This plate is preferably cut and grooved to obtain the base by folding and gluing.

Les panneaux définis par les rainures et découpes sont les suivants : les panneaux 114 sont définis aux deux extrémités. Entre ceux-ci un ensemble de trois panneaux 111, 112 et 113 allongés et parallèles entre eux est défini. En bout des panneaux 111 et 113 on a découpé des ouvertures, 111A et 113A respectivement. Ces ouvertures sont sensiblement rectangulaires; et deux rainurages r1 et r2, distants l'un de l'autre de la largeur des ouvertures 111A et 113A, sont pratiqués en travers de la plaque Les trois panneaux sont séparés par une découpe longitudinale et des rabats, 111R, 112R et 113R respectivement. En bout de la découpe longitudinale on a ménagé des découpes trapézoïdales, 115 et 117 respectivement. Des ouvertures circulaires 112A et 112B sont découpées au centre du panneau 112. Des volets 112A' et 112B' sont découpés dans les panneaux d'extrémité 114 en relation avec les ouvertures 112A et 112B. The panels defined by the grooves and cuts are as follows: the panels 114 are defined at both ends. Between them a set of three panels 111, 112 and 113 elongate and parallel to each other is defined. At the end of the panels 111 and 113 are cut openings 111A and 113A respectively. These openings are substantially rectangular; and two grooves r1 and r2, spaced from each other by the width of the openings 111A and 113A, are formed across the plate. The three panels are separated by a longitudinal cut and flaps, 111R, 112R and 113R respectively . At the end of the longitudinal cut trapezoidal cutouts 115 and 117 were respectively formed. Circular apertures 112A and 112B are cut at the center of the panel 112. Flaps 112A 'and 112B' are cut in the end panels 114 in connection with the apertures 112A and 112B.

Pour la mise en volume du socle, on plie à 180° les panneaux 114 sur les trois panneaux autour des lignes de pliage formées par les rainures transversales r1 et r2. Des languettes, en extrémités libres des panneaux 114 sont prévues pour fixer les panneaux 114 aux panneaux longitudinaux 111, 112 et 113. On obtient ainsi un parallélépipède. On plie les rabats 111R, 112R et 113R à angle droit de manière à former les deux gorges 15 et 17. On a rabattu les deux volets 112A' et 112B' à 180° qui viennent ainsi au droit des ouvertures 112A et 112B respectivement. For the volume of the base, the panels 114 are folded at 180 ° on the three panels around the fold lines formed by the transverse grooves r1 and r2. Tabs at the free ends of the panels 114 are provided for fixing the panels 114 to the longitudinal panels 111, 112 and 113. This gives a parallelepiped. The flaps 111R, 112R and 113R are folded at right angles so as to form the two grooves 15 and 17. The two flaps 112A 'and 112B' are folded down to 180 ° which thus come to the right of the openings 112A and 112B respectively.

Le socle est formé. The base is formed.

La figure 4 montre le dispositif en situation. Une pile de plaques découpées P est posée sur le socle 10. Ces plaques présentent des découpes au centre assurant leur guidage par les tiges 20. L'ensemble repose sur un chariot de chargement C. Les ouvertures 11A et 13A permettent l'introduction d'une fourche de chariot élévateur schématisée par les deux flèches F. Entre les deux ouvertures 11A et 13A on peut introduire les barres d'un organe de levage schématisée par les deux flèches E. Figure 4 shows the device in situation. A stack of cut plates P is placed on the base 10. These plates have cutouts in the center ensuring their guidance by the rods 20. The assembly rests on a loading carriage C. The openings 11A and 13A allow the introduction of a fork of forklift schematically by the two arrows F. Between the two openings 11A and 13A can be introduced the bars of a lifting member shown schematically by the two arrows E.

Le procédé de l'invention consiste à charger au préalable le dispositif 1 à l'atelier de fabrication des plaques de carton. On transporte le dispositif avec son chargement en le plaçant sur une palette. Selon la dimension des découpes, on peut déposer une pluralité de dispositifs sur la même palette. Le poids et l'encombrement supplémentaires dus au dispositif sont minimes. The method of the invention consists in pre-loading the device 1 to the manufacturing workshop of the cardboard plates. The device is transported with its load by placing it on a pallet. Depending on the size of the cutouts, a plurality of devices may be deposited on the same pallet. The additional weight and bulk due to the device are minimal.

A proximité de la machine à emballer, on dépose le dispositif sur un chariot de chargement C, au moyen d'un chariot élévateur dont on a introduit les fourches dans les ouvertures 11A et 3A. Lorsque les articles à emballer sont des produits comestibles, la solution permet de ne pas entrer dans l'enceinte propre avec le chariot élévateur. Le chariot de chargement C peut ainsi être dédié à cette enceinte propre. On déplace le chariot de chargement C avec son chargement jusqu'au point de chargement de la machine où les bras de l'organe de levage sont glissés dans les gorges 15 et 17 sous la pile de découpes. Les découpes P sont soulevées progressivement pas à pas de manière à maintenir la plaque supérieure de la pile au niveau des organes de préhension de la machine et assurer un chargement continu de la machine à emballer. In the vicinity of the packaging machine, the device is placed on a loading carriage C by means of a forklift truck whose forks have been inserted into the openings 11A and 3A. When the articles to be packaged are edible products, the solution makes it possible not to enter the clean enclosure with the forklift. The loading carriage C can thus be dedicated to this own enclosure. The loading carriage C is moved with its load to the point of loading of the machine where the arms of the lifting member are slid into the grooves 15 and 17 below the stack of cuts. The cuts P are gradually raised stepwise so as to maintain the upper plate of the stack at the gripping members of the machine and ensure a continuous loading of the packaging machine.

Lorsque les découpes du dispositif sont épuisées, on remplace celui-ci par un autre pour continuer à alimenter la machine. When the cutouts of the device are exhausted, it is replaced by another to continue to feed the machine.
