Definitions
- ABSTRACT A method and apparatus for filling containers of foldable material, more particularly cartons, with groups of objects, for example bottles, the bottom of the carton comprising bottom flaps which may be folded into the bottom plane and are preferably glued to' each other wherein the carton, which is open at least at the bottom, is driven from above over a group of the objects to surround same and the bottom flaps are then pivoted into the plane of the bottom.
- the invention relates to a method and apparatus for filling containers of foldable material, more particularly cartons, with groups of objects, for example bottles, the bottom of the carton comprising bottom flaps which may be folded into the bottom plane and are preferably glued to each other.
- the method according to the invention for solving this problem is characterised in that the carton, which is open at least at the bottom, is driven from above over a group of the objects to surround same and the bottom flaps are then pivoted into the plane of the bottom.
- the invention therefore departs from the conventional packaging principle namely by an open carton being driven over the objects, for example bottles disposed in the appropriate configuration, the said carton being inverted over said objects and then being closed by pivoting of the bottom flaps. Accordingly, it is therefore merely necessary to move the carton which has a relatively low dead weight while the bottlevgroup remains immovably or is conveyed on a flat conveying track during the filling operation.
- the empty carton or the carton blank which is unfolded into a sleeve can be more readily manipulated by mechanical means than a group of individual objects having a large dead weight. It has also been found that lowering the open carton on to the group of bottles does not cause the labels of the outwardly disposed bottles being damaged or even torn off.
- the inventive filling of the cartons may be performed continuously or intermittently.
- the bottle groups which are to be filled into the cartons are disposed on a filling platform on which the open carton is lowered.
- the bottom flap which trails in the conveying direction and projects downwardly is folded against the bottom of the bottles or against a movable supporting part of the filling platform in the zone thereof while the bottom flap which leads in the conveying direction and the two lateral bottom flaps are folded against the bottom side of the bottles or the like during the ensuing conveying motion or during transportation respectively.
- the cartons or carton blanks which are unfolded into a sleeve are synchronised by suitable conveying means with the groups of bottles or the like and are lowered from above on to the said bottles while these are conveyed.
- FIG. 1 is a transverse or side view respectively of one embodiment of the apparatus according to the inven tion
- FIG. 3 is a detail of the device according to FIGS. 1 and 2, namely a filling platform shown to an enlarged scale as a side view and with an opened carton,
- FIG. 4 is a plan view of FIG. 3 but with some details omitted,
- FIG. 5 is a cross-section through a carton conveyor which conveys the filled cartons
- FIG. 6 is a cross-section according to FIG. 5 of another position of the carton conveyor
- FIG. 7 is one device of the invention as a side view arranged for continuous operation
- FIG. 8 is the magazine of the device according to FIG. 7 as a plan view
- FIG. 9 shows details of the blank conveyor of the device according to FIG. 7 as a plan view and to an enlarged scale
- FIG. 10 is a cross-section along the line X-X of FIG. 7.
- the illustrated embodiments of the invention relate to the filling of bottles 10 or a group 11 of such bottles 10 into a carton 12.
- the carton 12 is constructed in conventional manner and comprises side walls 13 and 14 joined to form a sleeve of enclosed cross-section and bottom flaps 15, 16, l7, 18 attached to the side walls 13 and 14 and cover flaps 19.
- the cartons l2 constructed in the manner described hereinabove, are unfolded from a flat, folded state, into the three-dimensional form, the bottom flaps 15-18 as well as the cover flaps 19 extending downwardly and upwardly in the plane of the side walls 13 and 14.
- the carton which is thus unfolded is lowered by lowering over the group 11 of bottles which are prepared in the required formation until the side walls 13 and 14 surround the group 11.
- the bottom flaps 1518 are then folded against the underside of the bottles 10 thus producing the bottom of the carton 12.
- the cover flaps 19 are folded in suitable and known manner on the top of the bottles 10 for the purpose of completely closing the carton 12.
- a substantial number of the cartons 12, which are folded flat, are stored in a magazine and are removed therefrom in accordance with requirements. Removal and preparation of the cartons 12 for the filling operation is performed by a pivoting arm 21 which grips a carton 12 in the zone of the side wall 13 which is outwardly disposed in the magazine. To this end, the free end of the pivoting arm 21 is provided with a suction pad 22. The said suction pad grips the carton 12 in the zone of the side wall 13 and lowers it so that the gripped carton is released from retaining means 23 of the magazine 20. To this end the pivoting arm 21 is mounted on a bearing 24 which is vertically slidable. After the carton I2 is removed from the magazine, the said carton is located by a stationary suction platen 70 which is disposed below the magazine 20 and on which the rear side wall 13 of the carton 12 bears.
- the carton 12 After the flat carton 12 is lowered into the position indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2 the carton is unfolded into its three-dimensional shape, namely by pivoting of the pivoting arm through 90 from the position shown in dash-dot lines in FIG. 1 into the position shown in solid lines. This is accompanied by a parallel displacement of the carton walls relative to each other.
- the carton 12, unfolded into the three-dimensional shape illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is disposed over a group 11 of bottles which are stationary for a short period of time on a filling platform 25 and are held in readiness thereon.
- the base area of the said filling platform 25 is dimensioned so that the carton 12 may be traversed over the group 11 by a downward motion, with the bottom flaps -18 downwardly orientated, that is to say in the plane of the side walls 13 and 14 in such a way that the group 11 is surrounded by the side walls 13 and 14 while the bottom flaps 15-18 initially project downwardly (see also FIG. 3).
- a lowering conveyor with drivers 27 which grip the upper edge of the carton 12 is provided for the downward motion of the unfolded carton 12.
- the filling platform is disposed in the zone of a carton conveyor 28 by means of which the filled cartons 12 are intermittently conveyed.
- the filled cartons 12 are conveyed by laterally disposed feed belts 29 and 30 which have drivers 31 disposed at distances from each other. The said drivers grip each carton by its rear.
- the bottles 10 or the groups 11 respectively are supplied to the filling platform 25 by a bottle conveyor 32.
- the said bottle conveyor comprises circulating chains 33 and 34 which are coupled to each other by driver bars 35 which grip the group 10.
- the filling platform is constructed in a special manner. It comprises an immovable supporting part 36 and a movable supporting part 37. Both supporting parts 36 and 37 are formed by support bars 38 and 39 respectively. The support bars 38 or 39 respectively of a supporting part 36 or 37 respectively are joined to each other at one end by means of a common cross member 40 or 41 respectively. The support bars 38 and 39 of the two supporting parts 36 and 37 are also offset relative to each other. The support bars (39 of the supporting part 36 extend into the zone of the supporting part 37. The bottles 10 of the group 11 are disposed on the support bars 38 and 39. The support bars 38 of the stationary supporting part 36 are downwardly extended and form arms 42 and 43 which project to both sides. The ends of the said arms are provided with notches 44.
- the notches 44 in these zones form grooves extending transversely over the filling platform 25 for receiving the lower edges of the transversely disposed bottom flaps 15 and 16 (FIG. 3).
- the grooves formed by the notches 44 are provided for the temporary location of the said bottom flaps 15 and 16 after the carton 12 is lowered.
- the movable supporting part 37 is pivotably supported on a rocker 45 (FIG. 3).
- the rocker 45 which is driven in reciprocating manner, moves the supporting part 37 from and into the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 3 into and from the position shown in dash-dot lines.
- the supporting part 37 is guided by a roller 46 on a cam track 47.
- the sup porting part 37 is guided in such a way that the support bars 39 are orientated at a downward angle in the unsupported position (dash-dot lines). This positive motion results from the support part 37 being pivotably supported on the rocker 45.
- the leading edge of the bottom flap 15 passes over a chamfered portion 71 of the immovable supporting part 36 on to the latter until the carton l2 completely leaves the filling platform 25.
- the supporting part 37 or its support bars 39 are disposed in an inclined position (dash-dot lines).
- the lateral bottom flaps 17 and 18 in the zone of the filling platform 25 are also folded during the conveying motion of the carton 12, namely by stationary folding rails 50 and 51 which are disposed laterally with respect to the carton conveyor 28.
- the said rails are formed in such a way that they grip the outside of the initially downwardly orientated bottom flaps 17 and 18 and gradually fold them into the horizontal closed position during the continued motion.
- the internal surfaces of the bottom flaps l7 and 18, which the folded last, are provided with an adhesive 54.
- This adhesive is applied by stationary spraying nozzles 55 on to the said surfaces while the carton 12 is conveyed and the bottom flaps l7 and 18 are still downwardly orientated.
- FIGS. 1 to 6 The apparatus according to FIGS. 1 to 6 described so far operates intermittently.
- the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 10 permits the cartons 12 being continuously filled.
- This apparatus shown as a diagrammatic side view in FIG. 7, is provided with a magazine for the flat cartons 12, the construction and method of operation of the said magazine being very similar to that of the magazine 20 of FIGS. 1 and 2 so that identical or equivalent parts of the apparatus are provided with identical reference symbols.
- the threedimensional, unfolded cartons 12, delivered by the magazine 20 and moved downwardly by the lowering conveyor 26 are however not directly transferred to the bottle group 11 which is held in readiness in the stationary state, instead the said cartons are transferred to a blank conveyor 56.
- the purpose of the carton conveyor 56 is to convey the unfolded carton 12 in a specific relative position, namely with vertically orientated walls while simultaneously and gradually lowering it on to a group 1 1 which is also continuously conveyed.
- the conveying motion of the unfolded carton 12 is therefore precisely matched to the motion of the continuously conveyed group 11 in such a way that the open carton 12 is gradually lowered on to the group 11 during the conveying motion until the said group 11 is surrounded by the side walls 13 and 14.
- the blank conveyor 56 comprises continuously circulating bar chains 57 and 58.
- the bar chains 57 and 58 which run over a plurality of reversing pulleys, are guided in parallel and at a distance from each other at least in the zone at which the cartons 12 are taken up and conveyed.
- a section 56a, extending at an angle, and a substantially horizontally extending section 56b are formed in the zone of which the cartons 12 are entrained either empty or filled.
- each bar chain 57 comprising two chains disposed at a distance from each other and joined to each other by means of bars, is provided in the zone of one bar 59 with two carton holders 60 and 61 which are supported in axially sliding manner on the bar 59 and are biased towards each by means of a tension spring 62.
- the free ends of the carton holders 60 and 61 are provided with laterally extending noses 63 which facilitate introduction of the carton 12 into the zone between two carton holder 60, 61.
- the minimum distance between the carton holders 60 and 61 is selected in such a way that under the action of the noses 63 an unfolded carton may be moved into the clamped position shown in FIG. 9 between the carton holders 60 and 61. Since both bar chains 57 and 58, which run superjacently at least in the zones 56a and 56b of the blank conveyor 56, are provided with carton holders 60 and 61 whose position relative to each other is defined, the carton, which is taken up below the magazine 20 as may be seen by reference to FIG. 7, being exactly guided until transferred to the group 11.
- the said carton 12 While the carton 12 is conveyed by the blank conveyor 56 the said carton 12 is continuously lowered in the section 56a.
- the said lowering motion is assisted by stationary slide runners 64 and 65 which are fixedly supported in the zone of the sections 560 and 56b above the carton conveyor 56.
- the inclined slide runners 64 and 65 enter into the lateral gaps between the upwardly projecting cover flaps 19 of the carton while thrusting the latter positively downwardly so that the carton 12 is held down in addition to its downward motion imparted by the blank conveyor 56 or by the carton holders 60 and 61. Accordingly, the carton 12 is therefore lowered particularly precisely on the group 11.
- the bottle groups 11 and the filled cartons 12 are conveyed basically in the same manner as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 6.
- the bottom flaps 15 and 16 which lead and trail respectively in the conveying direction when the carton 12 is lowered on to the group 11 are however not initially folded in this embodiment but they take up an approximately horizontal position as may be seen by reference to FIG. 7.
- the lateral bottom flaps l7 and 18 are first folded against the underside of the bottles 10 by the stationary folding rails 50 and 51, the support track 57 of the carton conveyor 28 becoming progressively narrower or disappearing respectively with progressive folding of the bottom flaps 17 and 18 in the manner already described.
- the carton 12 is'conveyed to a packaging track 66 which extends approximately at right angles to the incoming carton conveyor 28.
- the bottom flaps 15 and 16 will then be disposed laterally with respect to the packaging track or laterally adjacent to a support track 67 of the aforementioned packaging track 66.
- the bottom flaps 17 and 18 are also folded in the manner described hereinabove by stationary lateral folding rails 68 and 69, adhesive 54 being previously applied to the inside of the said flaps by means of spray nozzles 55.
- the apparatus according to FIGS. 7 to 10 therefore operates continuously.
