Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely and satisfactorily store attached documents in a carton by decreasing load when pushing the attached documents into the carton together with an item. <P>SOLUTION: A movable guide 11 and a fixed guide 10 hold attached documents 16 in an empty space between them, thereby forming creases 16a and 16b in the attached documents 16. A pusher 21 pushes an item 6 toward the opening 2a of the carton 2. As the attached documents 16 pushed by the item 6 is moved toward the opening 2a while folded along the creases 16a and 16b toward the item 6, the attached documents 16 is released from the held state, and also the movable guide 11 is gradually separated from the fixed guide 10 toward the opening 2a, thereby increasing the empty gap. Accordingly, without interfering with the movement of the attached documents 16 between the movable guide 11 and fixed guide 10, its resistance is mitigated. Load on the item 6 and attached documents 16 is reduced to thereby smoothly move them. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

本発明は箱詰機において物品の説明書などの添付書類を物品と共にカートンの一側方の開口より押し込む添付書類供給装置に関するものである。 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an attachment supply apparatus for pushing an attachment such as an instruction manual of an article together with the article from an opening on one side of the carton.

例えば、カートンに詰め込まれた医薬品などでは、物品と共にその効能を記載した説明書などからなる添付書類が同封されるようになっている。このような添付書類をカートン内に物品と共に詰め込むようにした添付書類供給装置では、カートンの開口の手前位置に添付書類を配置し、その添付書類に向けて物品を押し付けるようにしてカートン内に物品を押し込むことで、物品の外周で略コ字状となった添付書類が物品と共にカートン内に収容されるようになっている。   For example, in the case of a medicine packed in a carton, an attached document including an instruction describing the effect of the medicine is enclosed with the article. In the attachment supply apparatus in which such an attachment is packed together with the article in the carton, the attachment is placed in front of the opening of the carton and the article is pressed against the attachment in the carton. By pushing the, the attached document that is substantially U-shaped on the outer periphery of the article is accommodated in the carton together with the article.

このような添付書類供給装置においては、添付書類が紙類などで幾重にも折り畳まれてこしが強いものであると、カートン内への収容時の押し込み抵抗によって、物品が変形や損傷をしたり、あるいは、カートンが変形や損傷をしたりする等の不具合が発生してしまう。   In such an attached document supply apparatus, if the attached document is folded several times with paper or the like and is strong, the article may be deformed or damaged due to the pushing resistance when stored in the carton. Or, problems such as deformation and damage of the carton occur.

このような問題点に対処し得る技術として、カートン内への供給前に添付書類に折り癖を付与した後に、該添付書類を物品と共にカートン内に詰め込むようにした下記特許文献1に係る発明が提案されている。   As a technique that can cope with such a problem, the invention according to Patent Document 1 described below, in which after attaching a crease to an attached document before supply into the carton, the attached document is packed in the carton together with the article. Proposed.

該特許文献１においては、上下で固定された固定板に開口した挿入口の位置と、スライド移行するスライド機構の上下で開口したスライド口の位置とを互いにずらすことにより、添付書類に折り癖を付与すると共に、∪字状に近い形状に添付書類を折り曲げ、次いで、押し込み機構により、ー定の折り癖の付いた添付書類と共に物品をカートン内へ詰め込むようにしている。ここで、固定板の挿入口とスライド機構のスライド口とが互いにずれた状態として押し込み機構によって物品を添付書類と共に押し込むものであって、その挿入口とスライド口との間の屈曲した隙間部を添付書類が通過する時には抵抗が生じることとなる。その通過抵抗による物品への負荷による変形を防止するために物品の前端部より前方に突出する長さの押さえ板を設けて物品を保持するようにしている。 In Patent Document 1, the position of the insertion port opened in the fixed plate fixed at the top and bottom and the position of the slide port opened at the top and bottom of the slide mechanism that moves to slide are shifted from each other, thereby folding the attached document. At the same time, the attached document is folded into a shape close to a square shape, and then the article is packed into the carton together with the attached document with a fixed crease by a pushing mechanism. Here, the insertion port of the fixing plate and the slide port of the slide mechanism are displaced from each other, and the article is pushed together with the attached document by the push-in mechanism, and a bent gap between the insertion port and the slide port is formed. There will be resistance when the attachment passes. In order to prevent deformation due to the load applied to the article due to the passage resistance, a holding plate having a length protruding forward from the front end portion of the article is provided to hold the article.

このように、物品をカートンへ押し込む際に物品の変形等を防止するように押さえ板を設けるなどの対策が必要になる。また、押し込み機構により添付書類が物品と共にカートン内に押し込まれて前記挿入口とスライド口との間の隙間部を通過する際に、折り畳まれた添付書類がその隙間部に引っ掛かって破れたりするなどの問題が生ずることも懸念される。
特開２００３−２６７３２７号公報 Thus, it is necessary to take measures such as providing a pressing plate so as to prevent deformation of the article when the article is pushed into the carton. Further, when the attached document is pushed into the carton together with the article by the push-in mechanism and passes through the gap portion between the insertion port and the slide port, the folded attached document is caught in the gap portion and is torn. There is also concern that this problem will occur.

The attachment 16 is sandwiched, the longitudinal center of the attachment 16 is located at the front end of the guide hole 10d of the fixed guide 10, and both longitudinal sides of the attachment 16 are obliquely below the lower wall 10a from the gap. And bends obliquely upward of the upper wall 10c. Therefore, two creases (lower crease 16a and upper crease 16b) are given to the attachment 16 on both sides in the longitudinal direction.

可動ガイド１１が固定ガイド１０との間で添付書類１６を挟持する動作と同期して、プッシャ２１が固定ガイド１０に接近するように移動すると、図５（ａ）に示すように、プッシャ２１の押込部２１ａが物品６の後端部６ｂに当接して物品６が固定ガイド１０に接近するように押送され、固定ガイド１０内の案内孔１０ｄを通過した物品６の前端部６ａが下側折り癖１６ａと上側折り癖１６ｂとの間で添付書類１６に当接する。   When the pusher 21 moves so as to approach the fixed guide 10 in synchronization with the movement of the movable guide 11 sandwiching the attachment 16 with the fixed guide 10, as shown in FIG. The pushing portion 21a is brought into contact with the rear end portion 6b of the article 6 so that the article 6 is pushed closer to the fixed guide 10, and the front end portion 6a of the article 6 that has passed through the guide hole 10d in the fixed guide 10 is folded downward. It contacts the attached document 16 between the heel 16a and the upper fold 16b.

物品６の前端部６ａが添付書類１６に当接するタイミングに合わせて可動ガイド１１が挟持位置Ｂから待機位置Ａへ向けて物品６と共に水平移動すると、固定ガイド１０と可動ガイド１１との間の前記隙間が広がって固定ガイド１０と可動ガイド１１とによる添付書類１６の挟持が解除され、図５（ｂ）に示すように、固定ガイド１０と可動ガイド１１とが次第に広がり、添付書類１６が物品６の前端部６ａにより押されて固定ガイド１０から離れる。その際、プッシャ２１による物品６の押送速度が可動ガイド１１の移動速度よりも速く設定されているので、可動ガイド１１が挟持位置Ｂから待機位置Ａに戻るまでには、物品６の前端部６ａで添付書類１６を押し付けながら可動ガイド１１内の案内孔１１ｄを物品６及び添付書類１６が開口２ａに向けて水平移動し、添付書類１６が下側折り癖１６ａ及び上側折り癖１６ｂを基点として固定ガイド１０の下壁１０ａ及び上壁１０ｃの外面と可動ガイド１１の下壁１１ａ及び上壁１１ｃの内面とに沿って次第に略コ字状に折り曲げられる。   When the movable guide 11 moves horizontally together with the article 6 from the clamping position B toward the standby position A in accordance with the timing when the front end portion 6a of the article 6 comes into contact with the attached document 16, the above-described distance between the fixed guide 10 and the movable guide 11 is reached. As shown in FIG. 5B, the fixed guide 10 and the movable guide 11 are gradually expanded, and the attached document 16 becomes the article 6. Is pushed by the front end portion 6 a of the fixed guide 10. At that time, since the pushing speed of the article 6 by the pusher 21 is set faster than the moving speed of the movable guide 11, the front end 6a of the article 6 is required until the movable guide 11 returns from the clamping position B to the standby position A. While pressing the attachment 16, the article 6 and the attachment 16 move horizontally toward the opening 2a in the guide hole 11d in the movable guide 11, and the attachment 16 is fixed with the lower fold 16a and the upper fold 16b as base points. The guide 10 is gradually bent into a substantially U shape along the outer surfaces of the lower wall 10a and the upper wall 10c of the guide 10 and the inner surfaces of the lower wall 11a and the upper wall 11c of the movable guide 11.

さらに、プッシャ２１の押込部２１ａが物品６を押送すると、プッシャ２１が固定ガイド１０及び可動ガイド１１の案内孔１０ｄ，１１ｄを通過して、図６（ａ）に示すように、略コ字状に折り曲げられた添付書類１６が物品６の上下面を覆った状態で物品６と共に可動ガイド１１内の案内孔１１ｄを通って開口２ａからカートン２内に収容される。   Further, when the pushing portion 21a of the pusher 21 pushes the article 6, the pusher 21 passes through the guide holes 10d and 11d of the fixed guide 10 and the movable guide 11, and as shown in FIG. The attached document 16 folded in the state of being covered with the article 6 is accommodated in the carton 2 from the opening 2a through the guide hole 11d in the movable guide 11 together with the article 6.

その後、プッシャ２１が物品６の後端部６ｂから離れて後退する際に可動ガイド１１及び固定ガイド１０の案内孔１１ｄ，１０ｄを通過した後、プッシャ２１が固定ガイド１０の上壁１０ｃの後部に形成された開放部１０ｅに至った時に物品６の押送高さより上昇して物品供給コンベヤ５における区画部７の両仕切部材７ａ，７ｂに接触干渉しない高さで水平移動されて、図６（ｂ）に示す待機位置に復帰する。そのため、プッシャ２１の押込部２１ａが固定ガイド１０の上壁１０ｃの後端部を通過した後に待機位置まで戻る際に物品供給コンベヤ５において区画部７の移動を許容する。   Thereafter, when the pusher 21 moves backward from the rear end 6b of the article 6 and passes through the guide holes 11d and 10d of the movable guide 11 and the fixed guide 10, the pusher 21 is placed on the rear portion of the upper wall 10c of the fixed guide 10. When it reaches the formed opening 10e, it is moved horizontally at a height that is higher than the pushing height of the article 6 and does not interfere with the partition members 7a and 7b of the partition section 7 in the article supply conveyor 5, as shown in FIG. ). Therefore, when the pushing portion 21 a of the pusher 21 passes through the rear end portion of the upper wall 10 c of the fixed guide 10 and returns to the standby position, the article supply conveyor 5 allows the partition portion 7 to move.

本実施形態では、可動ガイド１１と固定ガイド１０とがそれらの間の隙間で添付書類１６を挟んで添付書類１６に折り癖１６ａ，１６ｂを付与すると共に、プッシャ２１が物品６をカートン２の開口２ａへ向けて押送し、物品６により押された添付書類１６が折り癖１６ａ，１６ｂで物品６側へ折り曲げられながら開口２ａへ向けて移動する動作に伴い、添付書類１６に対する挟持を解除すると共に、可動ガイド１１が固定ガイド１０から開口２ａ側へ次第に離間して前記隙間が大きくなる。そのため、可動ガイド１１と固定ガイド１０との間で添付書類１６の移動が阻げられることなくその抵抗を少なくし、物品６や添付書類１６自体への負荷を軽減し、また、可動ガイド１１や固定ガイド１０に対する添付書類１６の引掛かりを防止して、物品６及び添付書類１６の移動を円滑に行うことができる。従って、添付書類１６を物品６と共に確実且つ良好にカートン２内に収容することができる。   In this embodiment, the movable guide 11 and the fixed guide 10 sandwich the attached document 16 with a gap between them, and give the folded paper 16a, 16b to the attached document 16, and the pusher 21 opens the article 6 to the opening of the carton 2. As the attachment 16 pushed by the article 6 and moved by the article 6 moves toward the opening 2a while being folded toward the article 6 by the folding folds 16a and 16b, the clamping of the attachment 16 is released. The movable guide 11 gradually moves away from the fixed guide 10 toward the opening 2a, and the gap becomes large. Therefore, the movement of the attached document 16 is not hindered between the movable guide 11 and the fixed guide 10, the resistance is reduced, the load on the article 6 or the attached document 16 itself is reduced, and the movable guide 11 or The attachment of the attached document 16 to the fixed guide 10 can be prevented, and the article 6 and the attached document 16 can be moved smoothly. Therefore, the attachment 16 can be reliably and well accommodated in the carton 2 together with the article 6.
