The machine has a working tool (11) arranged on an accommodation unit (13) in a support frame (15) of a support (10). A slide mechanism reciprocally and directly displaces the tool from the support to a processing station (110) e.g. thermoforming station, where the support is designed to be moved out of the machine. The support includes a plate rotatable around a rotational axis. The tool is non-contactly displaced relative to an upper film or lower film. A lifting device (200) e.g. pneumatic cylinder, adjusts a distance from the accommodation unit to the support frame.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungsmaschine zum Verpacken von Produkten.The invention relates to a packaging machine for packaging products.

Verpackungsmaschinen zum Verpacken von Produkten weisen allgemein mehrere.Bearbeitungsstationen auf. Insbesondere weisen dabei Verpackungsmaschinen häufig eine Tiefziehstation und eine der Tiefziehstation nachgeschaltete Siegelstation als Bearbeitungsstation auf. In der Tiefziehstation werden mittels eines Arbeitswerkzeugs in einer in der Verpackungsmaschine durchlaufenden Unterfolie Produktaufnahmeabschnitte ausgeformt, in die die zu verpackenden Produkte in einem der Tiefziehstation nachfolgenden Schritt eingefügt werden. Im Anschluss an das Einlegen der zu verpackenden Produkte in die Produktaufnabmeabschnitte werden diese in der Siegelstation mit einer ebenfalls in der Verpackungsmaschine durchlaufenden Oberfolie verschlossen. Abhängig von der Größe der zu verpackenden Produkte muss auch die Größe des Produktaufnahmeabschnitts verändert werden. Somit müssen abhängig von der Größe des zu verpackenden Produkts unterschiedliche Arbeitswerkzeuge verwendet werden. Dabei sollen diese Arbeitswerkzeuge möglichst einfach und ohne ein Beschädigen der Folie ausgewechselt werden können.Packaging machines for packaging products generally have several processing stations. In particular, packaging machines frequently have a thermoforming station and a sealing station connected downstream of the thermoforming station as a processing station. In the thermoforming station product receiving portions are formed by means of a working tool in a running through in the packaging machine bottom film into which the products to be packaged are inserted in a subsequent step of the thermoforming station. Following the insertion of the products to be packaged into the product labeling sections, these are sealed in the sealing station with a top film which also passes through the packaging machine. Depending on the size of the products to be packaged, the size of the product receiving section must also be changed. Thus, depending on the size of the product to be packaged, different work tools be used. These tools should be as simple as possible and can be replaced without damaging the film.

Aus der Druckschrift EP 1 234 765 B1 ist eine Verpackungsmaschine bekannt, bei der ein Arbeitswerkzeug aus einer Ruheposition über eine Übergabeablage in eine Bearbeitungsstation und zurück überführt werden kann. Da die Überführung des Arbeitswerkzeugs jeweils unterhalb oder oberhalb der jeweiligen Folie erfolgt, kann ein Auswechseln des Arbeitswerkzeugs ohne ein Beschädigen der Folie erfolgen.From the publication EP 1 234 765 B1 a packaging machine is known in which a working tool can be transferred from a rest position via a transfer tray in a processing station and back. Since the transfer of the working tool is carried out below or above the respective film, a replacement of the working tool can be done without damaging the film.

Durch die schrittweise Übergabe des Arbeitswerkzeugs ausgehend von der Ruheposition zu der Übergabeablage und zu der Bearbeitungsposition erhöht sich die Zeitdauer, die für die Übergabe des Arbeitswerkzeugs zu der Bearbeitungsetation und somit für den Verpackungsprozess insgesamt benötigt wird. Ferner ist infolge der einzelnen Stationen, die das Arbeitswerkzeug zu durchlaufen hat, der Aufbau der Verpackungsmaschine recht komplex.The stepwise transfer of the working tool from the rest position to the transfer tray and to the processing position increases the time required for the transfer of the working tool to the processing station and thus for the packaging process as a whole. Furthermore, as a result of the individual stations that the working tool has to go through, the structure of the packaging machine is quite complex.

Die der vorliegenden Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe besteht nun darin, eine Verpackungsmaschine bereitzustellen, bei der der Verpackungsprozess effizienter erfolgt und bei der die Verpackungsmaschine einfacher aufgebaut ist.The object underlying the present invention is now to provide a packaging machine in which the packaging process is more efficient and in which the packaging machine has a simpler structure.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst, Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass der Aufbau der Verpackungsmaschine vereinfacht wird, indem das Arbeitswerkzeug direkt von einem Träger an die Bearbeitungsstation verschoben wird und keine dazwischenliegende Übergabeablage mehr vorhanden ist. Durch das direkte Verschieben des Arbeitswerkzeugs an die Bearbeitungsstation verkürzt sich auch die für den Verpackungeprozess benötigte Zeitdauer.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the structure of the packaging machine is simplified by the working tool is moved directly from a carrier to the processing station and no intermediate Transfer tray is more available. The direct movement of the working tool to the processing station also shortens the time required for the packaging process.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Träger aus der Verpackungsmaschine heraus bewegbar ist, womit die Arbeitswerkzeuge leichter zugänglich sind, um beispielsweise leichter gereinigt werden zu können.Another advantage of the invention is that the carrier is movable out of the packaging machine, whereby the working tools are more easily accessible, for example, to be able to be easily cleaned.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass eine Position der Aufnahmeeinheit, in der die Arbeitswerkzeuge angeordnet sind, mittels einer Hubvorrichtung verstellt werden kann, und somit das gewünschte Arbeitswerkzeug aus einer Vielzahl von Arbeitswerkzeugen ausgewählt werden kann. Auch besteht ein Vorteil darin, dass zusätzlich ein Auswechseln des Arbeitswerkzeugs aus der Bearbeitungsstation effizienter erfolgt, indem die Position der Aufnahmeeinheit durch die Hubvorrichtung derart eingestellt wird, dass ein Arbeitswerkzeug in einen leeren in der Aufnabmeeinheit befindlichen Aufnahmebereich verschoben wird. Somit ist ein zwischenzeitliches Ablegen des Arbeitswerkzeugs auf eine Übergabeablage nicht notwendig.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that a position of the receiving unit, in which the working tools are arranged, can be adjusted by means of a lifting device, and thus the desired working tool can be selected from a variety of work tools. Also, there is an advantage in that, in addition, replacement of the work tool from the work station is more efficient by adjusting the position of the take-up unit by the lift so as to shift a work implement to an empty pick-up area in the pick-up unit. Thus, an intermediate deposition of the working tool on a transfer tray is not necessary.

Ferner besteht eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung darin, dass durch die Anordnung jeweils eines Arbeitswerkzeugs an jeder Seite einer an dem Träger angeordneten drehbaren Platte, die zulässige Größe für das zu verwendende Arbeitswerkzeug und somit die Größe des Produktafnahmebereichs erhöht wird.Furthermore, a further embodiment of the invention is that by the arrangement of a respective working tool on each side of a rotatable plate arranged on the carrier, the permissible size for the working tool to be used and thus the size of the product taking area is increased.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darein, dass in der Bearbeitungsstation das Arbeitswerkzeug fest mit einer Bodenplatte gekoppelt wird. Dadurch erhöht sich die Bearbeitungsgenauigkeit des Arbeitswerkzeugs.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that in the processing station, the working tool firmly coupled with a bottom plate. This increases the machining accuracy of the working tool.

Details of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. Showing:
  • FIG. 1 FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a packaging machine with a carrier outside the packaging machine. FIG.
  • FIG. 2 FIG. 3: a perspective view of a work tool arranged in a processing station, FIG.
  • FIG. 3 a partial sectional view through the working tool, the bottom plate and a lifting rail.

Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht einer Verpackungsmaschine 1 und eines Trägers 10 außerhalb der Verpackungsmaschine 1. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a packaging machine 1 and a carrier 10 outside the packaging machine. 1

Der Träger 10 weist ein Trägergestell 15 und eine auf dem Trägergestell 15 angeordnete Aufnahmeeinheit 13 zur Aufnahme von Arbeitswerkzeugen 11 auf. An dem Trägergestell 15 sind Rollen 16 angeordnet, die ein Bewegen des Trägers 10 ermöglichen. Ferner weist das Trägergestell 15 erste Führungselemente 17 auf, mittels denen die Bewegung des Trägers 10 in der Verpackungsmaschine 1 geführt wird.The carrier 10 has a carrier frame 15 and a receiving unit 13 arranged on the carrier frame 15 for receiving work tools 11. On the support frame 15 rollers 16 are arranged, which allow a movement of the carrier 10. Furthermore, the carrier frame 15 has first guide elements 17, by means of which the movement of the carrier 10 is guided in the packaging machine 1.

Die Arbeitswerkzeuge 11 werden in jeweils einem in der Aufnahmeeinheit 13 angeordneten Aufnahmebereich durch eine Auflage, die beispielsweise als Auflageschienen 12 ausgebildet ist, gehalten. Die einzelnen Aufnahmebereiche sind senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung des Trägers 10 übereinander angeordnet. Ferner ist die Aufnahmeeinheit 13 derart am Trägergestell 15 angeordnet, dass die Aufnahmeeinheit 13 zu der Fahrtrichtung des Trägers 10 senkrecht verschiebbar ist. Diese Verschiebung der Aufnahmeeinheit 13 wird beispielsweise durch eine am Trägergestell 15 angebrachte Linearführung ermöglicht.The working tools 11 are held in a respective receiving area arranged in the receiving unit 13 by a support, which is for example designed as a support rails 12. The individual receiving areas are arranged one above the other perpendicular to the direction of travel of the carrier 10. Further, the receiving unit 13 is so on the support frame 15th arranged that the receiving unit 13 to the direction of travel of the carrier 10 is vertically displaceable. This displacement of the receiving unit 13 is made possible for example by a mounted on the support frame 15 linear guide.

Alternativ zum Träger kann ein (nicht dargestellter) Träger zum Befördern von Arbeitswerkzeugen in die Verpackungsmaschine verwendet werden. Dieser Träger setzt sich aus einem Trägergestell und einer am Trägergestell angeordneten drehbaren Platte zusammen. An dieser Platte ist an sich gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Platte jeweils mindestens ein Arbeitswerkzeug angeordnet. Die Platte ist dabei um eine vorzugsweise in der Mitte der Platte angebrachte Drehachse drehbar.As an alternative to the carrier, a carrier (not shown) may be used to convey work tools into the packaging machine. This carrier is composed of a support frame and arranged on the support frame rotatable plate. At least one working tool is arranged on this plate on opposite sides of the plate. The plate is rotatable about a preferably mounted in the middle of the plate axis of rotation.

Die Verpackungsmaschine 1 weist zwei sich gegenüberliegende Schienen 103 auf, in denen Mittel zum Befördern einer in der Figur 1 nicht dargestellten Oberfolie und/ oder Unterfolie untergebracht sind. Auch weist die Verpackungsmaschine 1 eine in einer Bearbeitunsstation 110, die beispielsweise als Tiefziehstation ausgebildet sein kann, angeordnete Bodenplatte 101 auf, wobei an der Bodenplatte 101 Hubschienen 102 angeordnet sind, mittels denen das aus dem Träger 10 verschobene Arbeitswerkzeug 11. auf der Bodenplatte 101 geführt und befestigt wird. Sobald das Arbeitswerkzeug 11 durch die Hubschiene 102 befestigt wird, kann ein Ausbilden von Produktaufnahmeabschnitten in einer Unterfolie mittels des befestigten Arbeitswerkzeugs 11 erfolgen.The packaging machine 1 has two opposing rails 103, in which means for conveying a in the FIG. 1 not shown upper film and / or lower film are housed. The packaging machine 1 also has a base plate 101 arranged in an operating station 110, which can be designed, for example, as a thermoforming station, with lifting rails 102 being arranged on the base plate 101, by means of which the working tool 11 displaced from the carrier 10 is guided on the base plate 101 and attached. Once the working tool 11 is fixed by the lifting rail 102, forming of product receiving portions in a lower film by means of the attached working tool 11 can take place.

Ferner weist die Verpackungsmaschine 1 einen zu der Bearbeitungsstation 110 benachbarten Raumabschnitt 111 auf, in den der Träger 10 zum Auswechseln und/ oder Zuführen eines Arbeitswerkzeugs 11 hineinfahrbar ist. Der zur Bearbeitungsstation 110 benachbarte Raumabschnitt 111 wird durch zwei zur Fahrtrichtung des. Trägers 10 parallele zweite Führungselemente 120 und einen zu den zweiten Führungselementen 120 quer verlaufenden Balken 121 begrenzt. Ferner wird der Raumabschnitt 111 in der zur Fahrtrichtung des Trägers 10 senkrechten Richtung durch die in Figur 1 nicht dargestellte Unterfolie begrenzt. Die Verpackungsmaschine 1 weist in der zum Träger 10 weisenden Richtung des Raumabschnitt 111 eine Öffnung 100 auf, durch die der Träger 10 in den Raumabschnitt 111 hinein gefahren werden kann. Diese Öffnung 100 stellt für die Geometrie des Trägers 10 eine Begrenzung dar, da dieser derart ausgebildet sein muss, dass auch das vom Trägergestell 15 am entferntesten liegende Arbeitswerkzeug durch die Öffnung 100 passt, da ansonsten der Träger 10 nicht in die Vespackungsmaschine 1 hinein gefahren werden kann, Somit wird die Anzahl und/ oder die Größe der Aufnahmebereiche durch die Geometrie der Verpackungsmaschine 1, insbesondere der Öffnung 100 begrenzt.Furthermore, the packaging machine 1 has a space portion 111 adjacent to the processing station 110, into which the carrier 10 can be moved for exchanging and / or feeding a working tool 11. The adjacent to the processing station 110 space portion 111 is formed by two parallel to the direction of travel of the carrier 10 second guide elements 120 and limited to the second guide elements 120 bar 122 limited. Further, the space portion 111 in the direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the carrier 10 by the direction in FIG. 1 not shown sub-film limited. The packaging machine 1 has, in the direction of the space portion 111 facing the carrier 10, an opening 100 through which the carrier 10 can be moved into the space portion 111. This opening 100 is a limitation for the geometry of the carrier 10, since this must be designed such that even the farthest from the support frame 15 working tool through the opening 100 fits, otherwise the carrier 10 are not driven into the packaging machine 1 into it Thus, the number and / or the size of the receiving areas is limited by the geometry of the packaging machine 1, in particular the opening 100.

Bei einem Hineinfahren des Trägers 10 in die Verpackungsmaschine 1 wird die Bewegungsrichtung des Trägers 10 durch die an dem Trägergestell 15 angeordneten ersten Führungselemente 17, die während des Hineinfahrens des Trägers in die Verpackungsmaschine 1 durch die an der Verpackungsmaschine 1 angebrachten zweiten Führungselemente 120 geführt werden, bestimmt. Der in Fahrtrichtung des Trägers 10 mögliche Bewegungsweg des Trägers 10 wird durch den zu den zweiten Führungselementen 120 quer verlaufenden Balken 121 begrenzt. Ein Herausfahren des Trägers 10 aus der Verpackungsmaschine 1 kann beispielsweise durch Befestigungsmittel oder eine bestimmte Ausbildung der zweiten Führungselemente 120 verhindert werden.When the carrier 10 is moved in into the packaging machine 1, the direction of movement of the carrier 10 is guided by the first guide elements 17 arranged on the carrier frame 15, which are guided during the driving in of the carrier into the packaging machine 1 by the second guide elements 120 attached to the packaging machine 1, certainly. The possible in the direction of travel of the carrier 10 movement path of the carrier 10 is limited by the transverse to the second guide elements 120 bar 121. A retraction of the carrier 10 from the packaging machine 1 can be prevented for example by fastening means or a specific design of the second guide elements 120.

In diesem Fall handelt es sich bei den am Träger 10 angeordneten ersten Führungselementen 17 um Führungsrollen und bei den an der Verpackungsmaschine 1 angebrachten zweiten Führungselementen 120 um Führungsschienen. Es sind aber auch andere an dem Träger 10 und/ oder an der Verpackungsmaschine 1 angebrachte erste und zweite Führungselemente denkbar, die eine Bewegung des Trägers 10 in der Verpackungsmaschine 1 führen.In this case, the first guide elements 17 arranged on the carrier 10 are guide rollers and the second guide elements attached to the packaging machine 1 120 to guide rails. However, other first and second guide elements attached to the carrier 10 and / or to the packaging machine 1 are also conceivable, which guide the carrier 10 in the packaging machine 1.

Ferner weist die Verpackungsmaschine 1 eine Hubvorrichtung 200 auf, die vorzugsweise als ein Pneumatikzylinder ausgebildet ist, mittels der ein Auswählen des Aufnahmebereichs der Aufnahmeeinheit ermöglicht wird.

This second intermediate space 150 is designed such that in an arrangement of the working tool 11 on the processing station 110, this is in each case brought into engagement with the lifting plates 102 arranged on the base plate 101.

Ferner ist in der Bearbeitungsstation 110, unterhalb der Bodenplatte 101, das ausfahrbare Schiebemittel 300 angeordnet. Das Schiebemittel 300 weist dabei an einem Ende eine (nicht gezeigte) Koppeleinheit auf, die in einem ausgefahrenen Zustand des Schiebemittels 300 mit dem Arbeitswerkzeug 11 gekoppelt wird und somit die Verschiebung des Arbeitswetkzeugs 11 ermöglicht.Further, in the processing station 110, below the bottom plate 101, the extendable pushing means 300 is arranged. The sliding means 300 has at one end a coupling unit (not shown), which is coupled in an extended state of the sliding means 300 with the working tool 11 and thus enables the displacement of the Arbeitswetkzeugs 11.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Teilschnittansicht durch das Arbeitewerkzeug 11, die Bodenplatte 101 und die Hubschiene 102. Dabei stellt Figur 3 einen unbefestigten Zustand des Arbeitswerkzeugs 11 an der Bodenplatte 101 dar. FIG. 3 shows a partial sectional view through the working tool 11, the bottom plate 101 and the lifting rail 102. In this case provides FIG. 3 an unfastened state of the working tool 11 on the bottom plate 101 is.

Die Hubschiene 102 ist in dem zwischen den Vorsprüngen 1110 ausgebildeten zweiten Zwischenraum 150 angeordnet, und weist einen rechteckigen Bereich 1020 mit einer Aussparung auf, wobei der rechteckige Bereich 1020 an einer Seite mit der Hubschienenerhöhungsvorrichtung 106 in Kontakt steht. Ferner weist die Hubschiene 102 an den zur Bodenplatte 101 senkrecht angeordneten Seiten jeweils einen L-förmigen Bereich 1021 auf, Auf der von der Bodenplatte 101 abgewandten Seite der Hubschiene 102 ist in der Aussparung des rechteckigen Bereichs 1020 der Hubschiene 102 ein Gleitelement 160 angeordnet. Ferner steht das Gleitelement 160 an der der Aussparung abgewandten Seite mit dem Arbeitswerkzeug 11 in Kontakt. Der sich zwischen den Vorsprüngen 1110 ausgebildete zweite Zwischenraum 150 ist dabei derart ausgebildet, dass bei einem Befestigen des Arbeitswerkzeugs 11 an der Bodenplatte 101 der L-förmige Bereich der Hubschiene 102 mit dem jeweiligen Vorsprung 1110 gekoppelt ist.The lift rail 102 is disposed in the second space 150 formed between the protrusions 1110, and has a rectangular area 1020 with a recess, the rectangular area 1020 being in contact with the lift rail elevating device 106 on one side.
