Mit der Vorrichtung 1 gemäß Figur 1 sollen vier unterschiedliche, mit Fa, Fb, Fc, Ff bezeichnete Flaschensorten sortenrein in zugeordnete, mit Ka, Kb, Kc, Kd bezeichnete Kästen eingepackt werden. Die vier Flaschensorten Fa bis Fd werden auf einem gemeinsamen Sammeltisch 2, gebildet durch mehrere parallele, in Pfeilrichtung angetriebene Scharnierbandketten, getrennt zugeführt. Hierzu sind auf dem Sammeltisch 2 durch Führungsgeländer 3 vier Gassen von ca. doppelter Kastenbreite abgeteilt. Im Endbereich des Sammeltisches 2 werden die Flaschen F in herkömmlicher Weise durch stationäre Anschläge 4 und weitere parallele Führungsschienen 5 entsprechend der Anordnung der Flaschen F in jeweils zwei benachbarten Kästen K formiert. With the device 1 according to Figure 1 four different, denoted by Fa, Fb, Fc, Ff Bottle types sorted in assigned, with Ka, Kb, Kc, Kd designated boxes are packed. The four bottle types Fa to Fd are on a common collection table 2, formed by several parallel, in the arrow direction driven hinge bands, fed separately. For this are on the collection table 2 by guide railing 3 four Lanes of about double box width divided. in the End area of the collecting table 2, the bottles F in conventionally by stationary stops 4 and more parallel guide rails 5 according to the arrangement of Bottles F in each case two adjacent boxes K formed.

Die vier Kanäle des Sammeltisches 2 werden durch einen Sortierauspacker 6 sortenrein mit den vier Flaschensorten Fa bis Fd beschickt, wobei die mit Mischgut gefüllten Kästen Km durch einen Förderer 7 zugeführt werden. Der Aufbau des Sortierauspackers 6 kann im Detail z. B. der EP 638 478 B1 entnommen werden.The four channels of the collecting table 2 are replaced by a Sorting unpacker 6 sorted with the four bottle types Fa to Fd charged, with the filled with mix boxes Km be supplied by a conveyor 7. The construction of the Sortierauspackers 6 can in detail z. As the EP 638 478 B1 be removed.

Die Vorrichtung 1 umfasst weiter eine horizontale Traverse 8, die durch ein Getriebe 9 in einer senkrechten Ebene auf einer nach unten hin offenen U-förmigen Bahn hin- und herfahrbar ist. An der Traverse 8 sind vier Greifergruppen 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d aufgehängt. Jede Greifergruppe 10 ist einer bestimmten Flaschensorte zugeordnet und umfasst eine Mehrzahl von Greifern, z. B. in Form von pneumatischen Packtulpen, wie sie jeweils zum gleichzeitigen Befüllen zweier nebeneinanderliegender Kästen K erforderlich ist. Die Greifer werden in herkömmlicher Weise derart gesteuert, dass sie nach dem Aufsetzen auf die Flaschen F auf dem Sammeltisch 2 geschlossen und nach dem Einsetzen der Flaschen F in die Kästen K geöffnet werden. Die Anordnung der Greifer ist abhängig von der Konfiguration der Flaschen F in den zu befüllenden Kästen K und es können auch nur jeweils ein Kasten K oder mehr als zwei Kästen K, beispielsweise vier gleichzeitig mit einer Flaschensorte befüllt werden.The device 1 further comprises a horizontal traverse 8, by a transmission 9 in a vertical plane on a downwards open U-shaped train back and forth is. At the traverse 8 are four gripper groups 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d hung up. Each gripper group 10 is one assigned to certain bottle types and includes a plurality of grabs, z. B. in the form of pneumatic packing tulips, such as each for simultaneously filling two adjacent boxes K is required. The grippers are conventionally controlled to follow putting on the bottles F on the collecting table 2 closed and after inserting the bottle F in the K boxes are opened. The arrangement of the gripper is depending on the configuration of the bottles F in the too filling boxes K and it can only one each Box K or more than two boxes K, for example four be filled at the same time with a bottle type.

Wie die Fig. 1 zeigt, ist für jede Flaschensorte Fa bis Fd eine eigene Kastenzuführung 11a bis 11d vorgesehen, gebildet durch in Pfeilrichtung antreibbare Förderbänder und/oder Rollen sowie seitliche Führungsgeländer 12 mit einem Abstand von doppelter Kastenbreite. Die so gebildeten vier Kastenzuführungen fluchten im Wesentlichen mit den vier Kanälen auf dem Sammeltisch 2, so dass die Flaschen F auf dem kürzesten Weg vom Sammeltisch 2 in die Kästen K überführt werden können. Die Kastenzuführungen 11a bis 11d können kontinuierlich oder intermittierend fördern; in jedem Falle wird durch gesteuerte, heb- und senkbare Sperren 13 ein exaktes Positionieren der Kästen K in der Einpackposition realisiert. Es können somit gleichzeitig acht Kästen K mit vier Flaschensorten Fa bis Fd befüllt werden. Im vorliegenden Falle werden jeweils zwei Kästen K mit der gleichen Flaschesorte gefüllt, es sind jedoch auch andere Zahlenverhältnisse denkbar, je nach Häufigkeit der Flaschensorten. Auch können gleichzeitig mehrere parallele Reihen Kästen gefüllt werden, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist.As shown in FIG. 1, for each bottle type Fa to Fd a separate box feeder 11a to 11d provided formed by drivable in the arrow direction conveyor belts and / or Rollers and lateral guide rails 12 at a distance of double box width. The four thus formed Box feeds are essentially aligned with the four Channels on the collection table 2, leaving the bottles F on the shortest way transferred from the collection table 2 in the boxes K can be. The box feeders 11a to 11d can promote continuously or intermittently; in any case is by controlled, raised and lowered locks 13 a exact positioning of the boxes K in the packing position realized. It can thus simultaneously eight boxes K with four bottle types Fa to Fd are filled. In the present Traps are each two boxes K with the same Bottle type filled, but there are others Number ratios conceivable, depending on the frequency of Bottle types. Also, several parallel can simultaneously Row boxes are filled, as shown in Fig. 2.

Die vier parallelen, rechtwinklig zur Traverse 8 angeordneten, doppelreihigen Kastenzuführungen 11a bis 11d münden in eine gemeinsame, einbahnige Kastenabführung 14 ein. Diese ist rechtwinkelig zu den Kastenzuführungen 11a bis 11d angeordnet und weist in Pfeilrichtung antreibbare Förderbänder, Rollen oder dgl. sowie zwei seitliche Führungsgeländer 15 für einen einreihigen Abtransport der Kästen K auf, beispielsweise zu einem nicht gezeigten Palettierer.The four parallel, perpendicular to Traverse 8 arranged, double-row box feeders 11a to 11d open into a common, single-lane box removal 14. This is perpendicular to the box feeders 11a to 11d arranged and has drivable in the direction of the arrow Conveyor belts, rollers or the like. As well as two lateral Guide railing 15 for a single row removal of the Boxes K on, for example, to a not shown Palletizer.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 liegt die Kastenabführung 14 neben dem Puffertisch 2 unterhalb der U-förmigen Bewegungsbahn der Traverse 8. Die befüllten Kästen K werden unmittelbar nach dem Befüllen und dem Absenken der Sperren 13 durch die Transportelemente der Kastenzuführungen 11a bis 11d auf die Kastenabführung 14 geschoben und dort in einer Reihe hintereinander abtransportiert. Statt dessen ist es auch möglich, die Kastenabführung 14 gemäß Fig. 2 unter dem Sammeltisch 2 anzuordnen. Hierdurch wird zwischen den Sperren 13 und der Kastenabführung 14 eine gewisse Pufferstrecke geschaffen, die zu einer gleichmäßigen Abfuhr der Kästen K in der normalen Achtergruppe beiträgt.In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the box removal is 14 next to the buffer table 2 below the U-shaped Traverse 8. Trajectory K will become filled boxes immediately after filling and lowering the barriers 13 by the transport elements of the box feeders 11a to 11d pushed onto the box outlet 14 and there in a row transported away one behind the other. Instead, it is possible, the box discharge 14 of FIG. 2 under the To arrange collection table 2. This will be between the locks 13 and 14 Kastenabführung a certain buffer line created, leading to a uniform discharge of boxes K in the normal group of eight contributes.

Die vier Kastenzuführungen 11a bis 11d werden durch einen gemeinsamen, rechtwinklig zu ihnen angeordneten Zuförderer 16 mit leeren Kästen K versorgt. Dieser ist wiederum aus in Pfeilrichtung angetriebenen Förderbändern und/oder Rollen mit seitlichen Führungsgeländern 17 aufgebaut und vorzugsweise unter Zwischenschaltung eines nicht gezeigten Kastenwenders zur Entfernung nicht auspackbarer Flaschen und ggf. einer gleichfalls nicht gezeigten Kastensortierstation zur Entfernung unerwünschter Kästen an den Zuförderer 7 angeschlossen.The four box feeders 11a to 11d are replaced by a common, arranged at right angles to them feed conveyor 16 supplied with empty boxes K. This is again off in Arrow direction driven conveyor belts and / or rollers with lateral guide rails 17 constructed and preferably with the interposition of a box turner, not shown to remove unpackable bottles and possibly one also not shown box sorting station for Removal of unwanted boxes to the feed conveyor 7 connected.

Vom Zuförderer 16 werden die einreihig zugeführten Kästen K gezielt durch steuerbare Überschieber 18 paarweise bei Bedarf in die Kastenzuführungen 11 eingeschleust, so dass in diesen immer ein ausreichender Vorrat an Kästen K vorliegt. Um einem eventuellen Kastenmangel vorzubeugen, sind die vier Kastenzuführungen 11 über den Zuförderer 16 hinaus mit fluchtenden Verlängerungen 19a bis 19d versehen. Diese weisen wiederum in Pfeilrichtung antreibbare Fördermittel sowie Führungsgeländer für die Kästen auf. Sie werden manuell beschickt und geben bei Bedarf mit Hilfe der Überschieber 18 automatisch Kästen an die eigentlichen Kastenzuführungen 11 ab. Mit Hilfe der Verlängerungen 19a bis 19d ist es besonders einfach, jeder Kastenzuführung eine eigene Kastensorte Ka bis Kd zuzuordnen, beispielsweise für verschiedene Produkte oder auch Kästen fremder Abfüller.From the feed conveyor 16, the single-row supplied boxes K specifically by controllable pushers 18 in pairs as needed introduced into the box feeders 11, so that in this there is always a sufficient supply of boxes K available. To one prevent any shortage of boxes, are the four Box feeders 11 on the feed conveyor 16 also with aligned extensions 19a to 19d provided. These wise in turn in the direction of the arrow drivable funding and Guide rails for the boxes on. They are manual Charged and give if necessary by means of the pusher 18 automatically boxes to the actual box feeders 11th from. With the help of the extensions 19a to 19d it is special Simply, each box feeder has its own box type Ka bis Kd assign, for example, for different products or also boxes of foreign bottlers.

Beim vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 liegt der Zuförderer 16 auf gleicher Höhe mit den Kastenzuführungen 11 und deren Verlängerungen 19 bzw. schneidet diese. Die Bewegungsbahnen der Kästen K können sich daher überkreuzen.In the above-described embodiment of FIG 1 is the feed conveyor 16 at the same height with the Box feeders 11 and their extensions 19 and cut these. The trajectories of boxes K can therefore cross over.

Für höhere Sortierleistungen ist ein kreuzungsfreier Betrieb von Vorteil. Hierzu ist gemäß Figur 2 und 3 der Zuförderer 16 erhöht angeordnet, so dass die Kästen K unter ihm hindurch kreuzungsfrei von den Verlängerungen 19 zu den Zuführungen 11 laufen können. Die Überschieber 18 jeder Kastenzuführung 11 sind hier zu dritt an einem eigenen endlosen Riemen 20 über der Bewegungsbahn der Kästen K angeordnet und können nach beiden Seiten hin taktweise um jeweils eine Kastenbreite bewegt werden. Der Zuförderer 16 ist mit leistenförmigen Mitnehmern 21 für die Kästen K besetzt und taktweise in Pfeilrichtung antreibbar, so dass die Kästen K jeweils exakt zwischen zwei zusammengehörige Überschieber 18 einführbar sind. Die Steuerung der Überschieber 18 erfolgt durch eine Kastenerkennung 22 am Zuförderer 16, die bewirkt, dass jeder Kasten K erkannt, zugeordnet und an der zugehörigen Position durch die jeweiligen Überschieber 18 der richtigen Kastenzuführung 11a oder 11b oder 11c oder 11d zugeführt wird.For higher sorting services is a crossing-free operation advantageous. For this purpose, according to FIGS. 2 and 3, the feed conveyor 16 arranged elevated so that the boxes K pass under him without crossing from the extensions 19 to the feeders 11 be able to walk. The pushers 18 of each box feeder 11 here are three on a separate endless belt 20 over arranged the movement path of the boxes K and can after on both sides in cycles by one box width to be moved. The feed conveyor 16 is strip-shaped Taken drivers 21 for the boxes K and intermittently in Arrow direction drivable so that the boxes K each exactly between two associated pusher 18 inserted are. The control of the pusher 18 is effected by a Box detection 22 on the feed conveyor 16, which causes each Box K detected, assigned and at the corresponding position through the respective pushers 18 of the right one Box feeder 11a or 11b or 11c or 11d supplied becomes.

Zum Absenken der Kästen K vom Zuförderer 16 ist jeder Kastenzuführung 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d eine eigenen Rutsche 23 zugeordnet, die nahe dem zuförderer 16 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Mittels eines eigenen Zylinders 24 kann jede der vier Rutschen 23 wahlweise auf die jeweilige Kastenzuführung 11 abgesenkt oder soweit im Wesentlichen horizontal angehoben werden, das die Kästen K ungehindert unter ihr passieren können. Im normalen Sortierbetrieb sind die Rutschen 23 abgesenkt, und die zugeführten Kästen werden sortenrein durch die entsprechend gesteuerten Überschieber 18 nach links vom Zuförderer 16 auf die Rutschen 23 abgeschoben und gleiten dort durch den Hangabtrieb nach unten auf die jeweilige Kastenzuführung 11.To lower the boxes K from the feed conveyor 16 is everyone Chest feed 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d own slide 23rd associated, which is pivotally mounted near the feed conveyor 16 is. By means of a separate cylinder 24, each of the four Slides 23 optionally on the respective box feed 11th lowered or as far as substantially raised horizontally The boxes K will pass under her unhindered can. In the normal sorting operation, the chutes are 23 lowered, and the supplied boxes are sorted by the correspondingly controlled pushers 18 to the left of Feed conveyor 16 is pushed onto the slides 23 and slide There down through the slope down to the respective Box feeder 11.

Spiegelbildlich sind auch auf der rechten Seite des Zuförderers 16 vier Rutschen 25 mit vier Zylindern 26 schwenkbar und steuerbar angeordnet, die die Kästen K bedarfsweise auf die Verlängerungen 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d absenken. Dies ist dann der Fall, wenn eine Kastenzuführung 11 voll ist, was durch nicht gezeigte Sensoren erfasst wird. In diesem Falle werden die für diese Kastenzuführung 11 bestimmten Kästen K durch die entsprechend gesteuerten Überschieber 18 nach rechts vom Zuförderer 16 auf die Rutsche 25 abgeschoben und gleiten dort durch Hangabtrieb auf die als Puffer dienenden Verlängerungen 19. Nimmt der Kastenvorrat in einer Kastenzuführung 11 ab, so können zum geeigneten Zeitpunkt frische Kästen von der Verlängerung 19 zugeführt werden, wobei beide Klappen 23, 25 in ihre obere, im Wesentlichen horizontale Position verfahren werden. Für einen ordnungsgemäßen Transfer der Kästen von den Verlängerungen 19 zu den Kastenzuführungen 11 sind noch gesteuerte Kastensperren 27 und 28 vorgesehen. Außerdem ist der rückwärtige Bereich jeder Kastenzuführung 11 mit einem eigenen intermittierenden Antrieb versehen. Mittels der vorbeschriebenen Kastenzuführung gemäß Figur 3 ist eine vollautomatische Sortierung und Zuführung der Kästen K möglich, wobei auch stark unregelmäßige Verteilungen der Kästen durch die entsprechend dimensionierten Verlängerungen 19 abgepuffert werden können. Sollte trotzdem einmal eine bestimmte Kastensorte ausgehen, so kann jederzeit am rückwärtigen Ende der Verlängerungen 19 ungehindert ein manuelles Nachfüllen mit sortenreinen Kästen K erfolgen. Mirror images are also on the right side of the Feed conveyor 16 four chutes 25 with four cylinders 26 pivotally and controllably arranged, which the boxes K if necessary, on the extensions 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d Lower. This is the case when a box feeder 11 is full, which is detected by sensors, not shown. In this case, the for this box feeder 11 certain boxes K by the correspondingly controlled Pusher 18 to the right of the feeder 16 on the slide 25 deported and glide there by downgrade on the as Buffering extensions 19. Does the box stock take in a box feeder 11 from, so can the appropriate Timing fresh boxes supplied by the extension 19 be, with both flaps 23, 25 in their upper, im Move substantially horizontal position. For one proper transfer of the boxes from the extensions 19 to the box feeders 11 are still controlled Coffer locks 27 and 28 are provided. In addition, the rear area of each box feeder 11 with a own intermittent drive provided. By means of previously described box feeder according to Figure 3 is a fully automatic sorting and feeding of boxes K possible, whereby also strongly irregular distributions of Boxes through the appropriately sized extensions 19 can be buffered. Should still one may go out at certain rearward end of the extensions 19 unhindered Manual refilling with unmixed boxes K done.

Eine etwas vereinfachte Variante der Kastenzuführung ist in Figur 2 angedeutet. Hier ist die rechts vom Zuförderer 16 angeordnete Schwenkklappe nach Figur 3 durch eine stationäre Rutsche oder Röllchenbahn 29 mit einem unteren Anschlag 30 ersetzt, die mit Abstand über der Bewegungsbahn der Kästen K auf den Verlängerungen 19 endet. Hier erfolgt das Umsetzen der Kästen K von den Rutschen 29 auf die Verlängerungen 19 bei Bedarf rein manuell.A somewhat simplified variant of the box feeder is in Figure 2 indicated. Here is the right of the feeder 16 arranged pivoting flap of Figure 3 by a stationary Slide or roller conveyor 29 with a lower stop 30th replaced by the distance above the path of movement of the boxes K on the extensions 19 ends. Here the conversion takes place the boxes K from the slides 29 on the extensions 19th if necessary purely manually.

Die Variante der Kastenzuführung nach Fig. 4 unterscheidet sich von der Variante nach Fig. 3 im Wesentlichen dadurch, dass hier anstelle der beiden Rutschen 23, 25 jeder Kastenzuführung 11a bis 11d ein eigener Hubtisch 31 zugeordnet ist, der seine Kästen K über einen horizontalen, in Pfeilrichtung antreibbaren Zwischenförderer 32 erhält. Außerdem ist jeder Riemen 20 mit seinen Überschiebern 18 nur in einer Richtung intermittierend antreibbar und überführt die Kästen K auf den zugehörigen Zwischenförderer 32.The variant of the box feeder of Fig. 4 differs essentially from the variant according to FIG. 3, that here instead of the two slides 23, 25 each Box feed 11a to 11d a separate lift table 31st associated with its boxes K over a horizontal, in the direction of the arrow drivable intermediate conveyor 32 receives. In addition, each belt 20 with its thrusters 18 only intermittently drivable and transferred in one direction the boxes K on the associated intermediate conveyor 32nd

Jeder Hubtisch 31 senkt seine Kästen K auf die gemeinsame Ebene von Kastenzuführungen 11 und Verlängerungen 19 ab, zwischen denen Lücken 33 für die Hubtische 31 vorgesehen sind. Je nach Belegungszustand der Kastenzuführungen 11 werden die Kästen K durch die in beiden Richtungen antreibbaren horizontalen Förderelemente des Hubtisches 31 nach rechts auf die zugehörige Kastenzuführung 11 oder nach links auf die zugehörige Verlängerung 19 transportiert. Auch hier wird durch die zweistöckige Gestaltung der Kastenzuführung einerseits eine kompakte Bauweise mit großer Pufferkapazität und andererseits eine gute Zugänglichkeit der Verlängerungen 19 erreicht.Each lift table 31 lowers its boxes K to the common Level of box feeds 11 and extensions 19, between which gaps 33 are provided for the lifting tables 31 are. Depending on the occupancy state of the box feeders 11 the boxes K will pass through in both directions drivable horizontal conveying elements of the lifting table 31st to the right on the associated box feeder 11 or after transported on the left on the associated extension 19. Also Here is the two-story design of the Box feed on the one hand a compact design with large Buffer capacity and on the other hand, a good accessibility of Extensions 19 reached.
