Abstract

The stamping station (1) receives a web of e.g. plastics packaging foil (4) with preformed pockets (8). This moves past a control circuit (7) to a suction holder (9) which holds the foil over a stamping tool (5). This separates the individual pockets from the foil. The pockets are used for packaging objects by thermoforming. Fault-free pockets (2) are picked up by a conveyer (6). A detector (10) senses faults in packages and faulty pockets (3) remain attached to the foil and are diverted from the conveyer into a knife mechanism (13,14) with a second sensor or detector (15) which cuts them up.

Description

本発明は、シート（フィルムを含む）中に製品を包装する包装機械のための打ち抜きステージ、特には加熱成形機械のための打ち抜きステージに関する。   The present invention relates to a stamping stage for a packaging machine for packaging products in sheets (including films), in particular a stamping stage for thermoforming machines.

打ち抜きステージには、駆動部の作用により打ち抜きの位置・姿勢へとシフト可能な打ち抜き工具（金型を含む）と、打ち抜かれた包装体を送り出すための搬送装置とが備えられる。   The punching stage is provided with a punching tool (including a die) that can be shifted to the punching position / posture by the action of the drive unit, and a conveying device for sending out the punched package.

医薬の領域で用いられている包装機械においては、通常、ブリスターパック（blister pack）と呼ばれている包装体が製造されている。錠剤もしくはタブレット、カプセル、糖衣錠等が、絞り加工による成形シートのカップ部に、目的に応じて充填され、これに続いて、カバーシートにより密閉される。そのため、どのような状況であっても、欠陥品の包装体が、以降の包装工程に到達してはならないというのが、必須の要求である。欠陥品の包装体とは、製品に欠如や欠陥があるか、製品がカップ部に中にないか、または、例えば密封の継ぎ目の欠陥もしくは帯状シートの損傷のために包装体が適切に密閉されていないものである。このような欠陥品の包装体であると、包装された製品の保存性についての保証が得られない。また、外箱などの一つの外包みに複数がまとめられている個々の包装体に、外包みに記載した数の製品が含まれていることを保証できなくなっている。このこと、及びこれに結びついた不利な点を避けるためには、従来の包装機械で知られているところであるが、打ち抜きステージにて包装体が打ち抜かれた後、自動機械により、または手作業により欠陥品の包装体が選り分けられる。しかし、このように選り分けられた欠陥品の包装体は、種々のものが不均一に混じったままである。このような欠陥品の包装体の混合物の中には、(1)全く製品が包装されていないもの、例えば、錠剤がブリスターパックのいずれのカップ部にも入っていないもの、または(2)いくつかのカップ部のみに充填がされているものが、決まって存在する。製品を包装材料から分離し、これらを適切に処理するためには、さらなる後処理操作を必要とする。
特開２００４−１６０７８０ In a packaging machine used in the pharmaceutical field, a package called a blister pack is usually manufactured. Tablets, tablets, capsules, sugar-coated tablets or the like are filled in the cup portion of the molded sheet by drawing according to the purpose, and subsequently sealed with a cover sheet. Therefore, it is an indispensable requirement that the defective package should not reach the subsequent packaging process under any circumstances. Defective packaging means that the product is missing or defective, that the product is not in the cup, or that the packaging is properly sealed due to, for example, a sealing seam defect or a strip damage. It is not. If the package is such a defective product, the guarantee of the preservability of the packaged product cannot be obtained. In addition, it cannot be guaranteed that the number of products described in the outer package is contained in individual packages that are packaged in a single outer package such as an outer box. In order to avoid this and the disadvantages associated therewith, it is known in conventional packaging machines, but after the package has been punched at the punching stage, it is by an automatic machine or manually. The defective packaging is selected. However, the defective packages selected in this way remain mixed with various ones. Among such defective packaging mixtures, (1) no product is packaged, for example, tablets are not in any cup part of the blister pack, or (2) some There is always something that fills only the cup part. Further post-processing operations are required to separate the products from the packaging materials and to properly process them.
JP 2004-160780 A

したがって、本発明の根底をなす課題は、導入部で述べたような打ち抜きステージについて、欠陥品の包装体を、欠陥のない包装体から、簡単な方法でもって確実に分離できるように構成することにある。   Therefore, the problem that forms the basis of the present invention is that the punching stage as described in the introduction section is configured so that the defective package can be reliably separated from the defect-free package by a simple method. It is in.

この課題は、本発明によると、導入部で述べたような打ち抜きステージにおいて、以下のようであることにより解決される。帯状シートの搬送方向から見て打ち抜き工具の前に、欠陥のない包装体と欠陥品の包装体とを見分ける制御・監視装置が配置される。また、制御・監視装置は、欠陥品の包装体を検知した際に、打ち抜き工具が打ち抜きの位置・姿勢にシフトするのを防止すべく、駆動部と接続されている。   According to the present invention, this problem is solved by the following in the punching stage as described in the introduction section. A control / monitoring device for distinguishing between a defect-free package and a defective package is arranged in front of the punching tool as viewed from the direction of conveyance of the belt-like sheet. Further, the control / monitoring device is connected to the drive unit in order to prevent the punching tool from shifting to the punching position / posture when a defective package is detected.

このような打ち抜きステージは、次のような利点と結びついている。欠陥品の包装体は、帯状シートから切り離されず、そのため、誤って、欠陥のない包装体とともに送りだれることはなく、帯状シート中にとどまったままで連れ去られる。したがって、搬送装置により次の加工工程に導かれる包装体は、全部が欠陥のないものであることが確実となっている。ここで、製造の停止状態においても、包装体が混じることがない。充填されていない欠陥品の包装体は、簡単な慣用されている方法によって、帯状シートのウェブとともにリサイクルに供される。製品を含んだ欠陥品の包装体は、既に識別されており、目的に応じてさらに加工されるようにすることができる。   Such a punching stage is associated with the following advantages. The defective packaging is not cut off from the strip, so it is not accidentally fed out with the packaging without defects and is taken away while remaining in the strip. Therefore, it is certain that all the packages guided to the next processing step by the transport device are free from defects. Here, the packaging body is not mixed even in the production stop state. Unfilled defective packages are recycled for recycling with a web of strip sheets in a simple and conventional manner. The defective package containing the product has already been identified and can be further processed according to the purpose.

切断チョッパーを備えた落とし込み式（スロープ式や単純落下式を含む）切断機が、打ち抜き工具の下流に配置されているならば好ましい。欠陥品の包装体の帯状シートが、最終的に細かく切断され、適切に分別されて廃品回収に送られるという具現形態が実現できる。   It is preferable if a drop type (including slope type or simple drop type) cutting machine with a cutting chopper is arranged downstream of the punching tool. It is possible to realize an embodiment in which a strip-like sheet of a defective package is finally finely cut, appropriately separated, and sent to waste collection.

本発明の特に好ましい実施形態は、以下を特徴とする。制御・監視装置が、充填された包装体と、部分的に充填された包装体と、充填されていない空の包装体とを見分けるように備えられている。また、制御・監視装置が、信号に応じて包装体を分離する切替器と接続されている。このような実施形態であると、次のような具現形態が可能となる。充填された状態の包装体が分離されることとなり、空の包装体を、相応に要求される少ないコスト及び労力でもってリサイクルできるということが保証される。また、包装体が充填されているか、部分的に充填されている際には、細かく切った包装体から製品を分離するための、目的に応じた手段を用いることができる。特には、製品を受け入れるために包装体中に形成されたカップ部の輪郭、及び／または、製品の輪郭を捉えるためのセンサーが、シートを製品から切断する目的で備えられる。特には、通常のブリスタパックの場合のように包装体中に製品がマトリクス状に配置列されているならば、個々のヨコ列またはタテ列が帯状シートから分離される。したがって、小さく、取り扱い性の良好な単位のものとなる。重要なことには、このような具現形態によっても、製品自体は損傷を受けておらず、少ない投与量で高い薬効を発揮する部分であるところの薬効物質も放出されていない。   Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention are characterized by: A control and monitoring device is provided to distinguish between filled packages, partially filled packages and unfilled empty packages. In addition, the control / monitoring device is connected to a switch that separates the package according to the signal. With such an embodiment, the following embodiments are possible. The filled package is separated and it is guaranteed that the empty package can be recycled with the correspondingly low cost and effort required. In addition, when the package is filled or partially filled, a means according to the purpose for separating the product from the finely cut package can be used. In particular, a cup profile formed in the package for receiving the product and / or a sensor for capturing the product profile is provided for the purpose of cutting the sheet from the product. In particular, if the products are arranged in a matrix in the package as in the case of a normal blister pack, individual horizontal rows or vertical rows are separated from the belt-like sheet. Accordingly, the unit is small and has good handleability. Importantly, even with such an embodiment, the product itself is not damaged, and the medicinal substance, which is a part that exerts a high medicinal effect at a small dose, is not released.

切断刃の回転軸が帯状シートの押出方向を横切るように向けられ、回転がセンサーを用いて制御可能であるならば好ましい。このようであると、帯状シートは、該帯状シートに形成されたカップ部の列の単位で、帯状シートの自由端から切り落とすことが可能となる。回転の制御は、製品の間の個所で、帯状シートを短くする切り落としが行われることを確実にする。   It is preferred if the rotational axis of the cutting blade is oriented across the strip sheet extrusion direction and the rotation can be controlled using a sensor. In this case, the belt-like sheet can be cut off from the free end of the belt-like sheet in the unit of the row of the cup portions formed on the belt-like sheet. Control of rotation ensures that cuts are made to shorten the strip at points between the products.

制御・監視装置が光学的なパターン認識のためのカメラを備えるのが、目的にかなっている。このような方式により、欠陥品の包装体についての所望の識別が可能となるからである。同様に、輪郭を捉えるセンサーが光電遮蔽検知器（photoelectric barrier；監視対象物が感知領域を通過した場合に電気信号を発するデバイス）を備えるならば有利である。   The purpose of the control / monitoring device is to have a camera for optical pattern recognition. This is because such a method enables desired identification of a defective package. Similarly, it is advantageous if the sensor that captures the contour comprises a photoelectric barrier (a device that emits an electrical signal when the monitored object passes through the sensing area).

本発明の枠内において、欠陥のないと認められた包装体を搬送装置にに引き渡すための吸引チャックを備えるならば好ましい。これにより、簡単な具合に、欠陥のない包装体を帯状シートから引き離すことができる。   Within the framework of the present invention, it is preferable to provide a suction chuck for delivering a package that has been recognized as having no defect to the conveying device. Thereby, the packaging body without a defect can be pulled away from the belt-like sheet in a simple manner.

また、搬送装置が、周回するコンベアーベルトを備え、これに包装体がぶら下げられた状態で搬送されることが想定されている。これにより、以下のことが可能となっている。帯状シートの送り方向から見て打ち抜き工具より前に、欠陥のない包装体を欠陥品の包装体から見分ける制御・監視装置が配置されるということが可能となっている。また、制御・監視装置が、欠陥品の包装体を検知した際に打ち抜き工具の位置・姿勢のシフトを阻止するように駆動部と接続されるということが可能となっている。   Moreover, it is assumed that a conveyance apparatus is provided with the conveyor belt to circulate and it is conveyed in the state which the packaging body was hung on this. This makes it possible to: It is possible to arrange a control / monitoring device that distinguishes a defect-free package from a defective package before the punching tool as viewed from the feeding direction of the belt-like sheet. Further, the control / monitoring device can be connected to the drive unit so as to prevent the shift of the position / posture of the punching tool when a defective package is detected.

以下に、本発明を、図面に描かれた実施例により、詳細に説明する。   In the following, the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples depicted in the drawings.

図１には、加熱成形機からなり全体を図示してはいない包装機械における一部分としての打ち抜きステージ１を示す。この打ち抜きステージ１でもって、製品を収納した包装体２，３を１枚の帯状シート４から打ち抜くことができる。打ち抜きステージ１は、打ち抜きの位置・姿勢をシフト可能な打ち抜き工具５を備え、搬送装置６が、打ち抜かれた包装体２を搬送方向へと送り出すのに用いられるようになっている。帯状シート４の送り方向から見て、打ち抜き工具５の前に、制御・監視装置７が配置されている。この制御・監視装置７には、光学的なパターン認識を行うためのカメラが内蔵され、欠陥のない包装体２を、欠陥品の包装体３から見分けるのに役立つ。制御・監視装置７により、欠陥のない包装体２であると認められたならば、すなわち、成形シートの深絞りされた複数のカップ部（ポケット部）８に、間違いなく製品が充填されており、カバーシートでもって適切に密封されていると認められたならば、打ち抜き工具５は、打ち抜きの位置・姿勢にシフトし、欠陥のない包装体２が、吸引チャック９でもって搬送装置６に引き渡される。搬送装置６は、周回するコンベアーベルトにより実現されており、このコンベアーベルトにぶら下がった状態で包装体２が搬送される。そして、打ち抜かれた包装体２の外観・形状について、光学的な検知装置１０により再度の点検が行われる。   FIG. 1 shows a punching stage 1 as a part of a packaging machine which is composed of a heat molding machine and is not shown in its entirety. With this punching stage 1, the packaging bodies 2, 3 containing the product can be punched from a single belt-like sheet 4. The punching stage 1 is provided with a punching tool 5 capable of shifting the punching position / posture, and the transporting device 6 is used to feed the punched package 2 in the transporting direction. A control / monitoring device 7 is arranged in front of the punching tool 5 when viewed from the feeding direction of the belt-like sheet 4. This control / monitoring device 7 has a built-in camera for optical pattern recognition, and helps to distinguish the defect-free package 2 from the defective package 3. If the control / monitoring device 7 recognizes that the package 2 is free of defects, that is, a plurality of deeply drawn cups (pockets) 8 of the molded sheet are definitely filled with the product. If it is recognized that the cover sheet is properly sealed, the punching tool 5 is shifted to the punching position / posture, and the defect-free package 2 is delivered to the conveying device 6 by the suction chuck 9. It is. The conveying device 6 is realized by a conveyor belt that circulates, and the package 2 is conveyed in a state of being hung on the conveyor belt. Then, the outer appearance / shape of the punched package 2 is checked again by the optical detection device 10.

一方、制御・監視装置７が欠陥品の包装体３であるとの判断を下したならば、したがって、帯状シート４の一つのカップ部８が充填されていないか、または、成形シートとカバーシートの間の密閉が適切になされていない包装体であるとの判断を下したならば、制御・監視装置７は、打ち抜き工具５の駆動部に対して、包装体３の打ち抜きを止めさせるように誘導する。これにより、包装体３が帯状シート４とともにさらに搬送される。帯状シート４は、打ち抜きステージ１の下流に配置された落とし込み式切断機１１へと供給される。落とし込み式切断機１１は、帯状シート４を細かくするための切断チョッパー１２を備えている。切断チョッパー１２は、回転駆動される切断刃１３と、落とし込み式切断機１１に対して固定して配置された対向刃１４とからなる。ここで、切断刃１３の回転軸は、帯状シートが押し出される方向を横切るように向けられている。回転がセンサー１５により制御され、これにより、帯状シート４からの、カップ部８の列の単位での切り出しが確実に行われるようになっている。制御・監視装置７の信号にしたがって切替を行う切替板１６が配置されており、切替板１６は、複数のカップ部に製品が存在するかしないかによって包装体３を分別する。センサー１５は、光電遮蔽検知器（photoelectric barrier）を用いて、包装体３に設けられたカップ部８における稜線や縁等の輪郭を捉えることができ、帯状シート４の領域間を明瞭に見分けることができる。これにより、切断チョッパー１２が製品を切断するおそれをなくすことができる。   On the other hand, if the control / monitoring device 7 determines that the package 3 is a defective product, the cup portion 8 of the belt-like sheet 4 is not filled, or the molded sheet and the cover sheet are not filled. If it is determined that the package is not properly sealed, the control / monitoring device 7 causes the drive unit of the punching tool 5 to stop punching the package 3. Induce. Thereby, the package 3 is further conveyed together with the belt-like sheet 4. The belt-like sheet 4 is supplied to a drop-type cutting machine 11 disposed downstream of the punching stage 1. The drop-type cutting machine 11 includes a cutting chopper 12 for making the belt-like sheet 4 fine. The cutting chopper 12 includes a cutting blade 13 that is rotationally driven and an opposing blade 14 that is fixedly disposed with respect to the drop-type cutting machine 11. Here, the rotating shaft of the cutting blade 13 is oriented so as to cross the direction in which the belt-like sheet is pushed out. The rotation is controlled by the sensor 15, whereby the cut-out in units of rows of the cup portions 8 from the belt-like sheet 4 is reliably performed. A switching plate 16 that performs switching according to a signal from the control / monitoring device 7 is disposed, and the switching plate 16 sorts the package 3 depending on whether or not a product is present in a plurality of cup portions. The sensor 15 can capture the contours of the ridgeline, the edge, and the like in the cup portion 8 provided in the package 3 by using a photoelectric barrier detector, and clearly distinguish between the regions of the belt-like sheet 4. Can do. Thereby, the possibility that the cutting chopper 12 may cut the product can be eliminated.
