Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging facilities for batches of products, in particular under plastic film.
  • the stations and / or packaging modules that are located upstream of the final phase of removal of the plastic film are often frozen in a particular mode of operation;
  • preconditioning and / or packaging of batches of products of a particular type are carried out, such as, for example, packaging made from a cardboard cut of the tray or wrap type. around, which packaging then passes into the shrinkwrapper to be wrapped in a plastic film before crossing the heat shrink tunnel of said plastic film.
  • the preparation module of this type of packaging comprises a cleated conveyor to accompany the cuts, which cleats form a sort of reference and allow the realization of a precise operation of folding the cut.
  • This packaging preparation module of the wrap-around type or tray also generally comprises a complementary apparatus which, in the final phase of the process of shaping the package, carries out the folding and the shaping of the cut.
  • This apparatus is located above the level of the downstream portion of the cleated conveyor and it extends substantially over the output conveyor which extends, downstream, the preparation module of the package.
  • This packaging preparation module thus has features that freeze the installation on a single packaging mode.
  • the shrinkwrapper and the heat shrink tunnel of the plastic film are machines that can accept all kinds of batches of products: batches of products already packaged in a packaging of the tray or wrap-around type or simply batches of products that are grouped, or not, on a single sheet of cardboard; it is the heat-shrinkable plastic film that will secure and / or form the final packaging.
  • These machines end of line, shrinkwrapper or tunnel can also be inactive and serve as simple transit conveyors.
  • the present invention proposes a product packaging installation which, precisely, has a certain versatility in the methods of preparation and pre-conditioning of the products, that is to say an installation that can accommodate several modes of packaging of batches of products and all kinds of types of batches of products.
  • the present invention proposes an arrangement for this type of packaging installation which enables it to be able to carry out packing operations of the tray or wrap-around type and, also, to carry out a simple conveying of products or batches of products, that is to say a bare passage of these products or batches of products in the installation, before, possibly, the plastic filming and the passage through the heat shrink tunnel to finalize the packaging.
  • the installation according to the invention thus becomes very flexible to use and can accept the treatment of large or small series of batches of products with packaging of all types, suitable for the batches in question; it can also ensure a simple transit of the products or group of products, if necessary, when the shrinkwrapper and heat shrink tunnel are not operational, for example.
  • installation comprises means for retracting said endless chains and means for substituting for said endless chains a conveying system capable of allowing a simple passage through said batches of products between said input conveyor and said output conveyor, which alternate conveyor system interposes between said endless chains to form a continuous sole between said input and output conveyors.
  • the installation comprises a conveyor system which consists of several endless conveyor belts: at least one upstream conveyor belt and at least one downstream conveyor belt, which conveyor belts are abutable with each other and with , respectively, the input conveyor and the output conveyor, which upstream and downstream conveyor belts fill the space between said entry and exit conveyors after retraction of the cleated conveyor and, in particular, after separation of the endless chains.
  • the substitution conveying system consists of two conveyor belts which are movable relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of movement of the batches of products and in a vertical direction, which carpets are movable relative to each other between an inactive position in which they are superimposed and an active position in which they abut in the same plane to form the sole portion which extends between the input conveyor and exit conveyor, replacing the endless chains of the cleat conveyor.
  • the substitution conveyor system is vertically movable, carried by a support which is secured to the general frame of the installation and / or the forming module and which extends above the sole circulation batches of products, vis-à-vis the upstream portion of the cleated conveyor and upstream of the apparatus that performs the folding and the final shaping of the type of cut tray or wrap.
  • the support of the substitution conveyor system consists, on each side, of a pantograph which extends between the frame of the installation and / or the module for shaping the packaging. and a structure which carries the upstream conveyor belt, which structure serves at the same time as a guide to the frame of the downstream conveyor belt.
  • the pantograph comprises scissor arms disposed laterally, which arms are sufficiently spaced in a transverse direction to leave free a maximum of space and allow the passage through bare batches of products and, in particular, the passage batches that do not require a special packing operation with a tray-like or wrap-around type, which arms are operated by appropriate means of the screw-nut type to move the conveyor system from its inactive position to its active position and conversely, as needed.
  • the downstream conveyor belt is disposed on a frame which is carried by the structure of the upstream conveyor belt by means of a slide system, which slide system allows, under the effect of appropriate maneuvering means, to retract said downstream conveyor belt under said upstream conveyor belt to give the whole of the substitution conveyor system a space compatible with the place which is available upstream of the apparatus for bulking the packaging and in the bulk of the forming module.
  • downstream conveyor belt is mounted vertically movable relative to its frame between an active substitution position in which it is located at the output conveyor and an inactive position in which it is located below the carpet level.
  • upstream conveyor which downstream conveyor belt comprises feet and is movably mounted relative to said frame by means of its feet which slide vertically in said frame, said active substitution position being obtained by means of supports arranged on the general chassis and on which support said feet.
  • the installation represented figure 1 corresponds to a packaging installation of lots of various products such as bottles, cans, canned goods, jars, etc.
  • This packaging installation comprises several parts: - a station 1 for grouping and preparation of the product batches 2, located at the entrance, - a machine of the wrapping type 3 for the placement of a plastic film around the batch of products 2, which shrinkwrapper 3 is followed by a heat-shrinking tunnel 4 of said plastic film and, between said preparation station 1 and said shrinkwrapper 3, - a forming module 5 which carries out the packaging of the batch of products 2 by means of a cutout 6 of the wrap-around type or tray.
  • This forming module 5 is interposed between an input conveyor 7 which brings the batches of products 2 from the preparation station 1 and an exit conveyor 8 which transports the said packs of packaged products 2 to the bundling machine 3.
  • cutouts 6 are conveyed to the volume setting station of the forming module 5 which comprises a conveyor 11 of the cleat type.
  • the packaging volume station is arranged around the upper end of the lug conveyor 11 and comprises means for forming said cutout 6 around the batch of products 2 and, in particular, an apparatus 12 which is located above the end portion of the sole formed by the downstream portion of said conveyor 11 cleats.
  • This apparatus 12 completes the folding, shaping and gluing of the blank 6, to envelop the batch of products 2.
  • This apparatus is adjustable, in particular height, to adapt to the size of products or batches of products crossing the installation.
  • a conveying system 13 is disposed above the forming module 5, in its upstream part and also upstream of the apparatus 12. This conveyor system 13 is arranged to replace the conveyor 11 with stops when the Packaging facility is intended to pass batches of products naked, that is to say, batches of products that do not require a particular package by means of a cutter-type tray or wrap-around.
  • This substitution conveying system 13 is located in the bulk of the forming module 5; it comprises two conveyor belts 14 and 15 which are represented, in strong lines, in the waiting position. In this standby position, or inactive position, they are superimposed and retracted upstream of the apparatus 12 to allow the operation of the packaging and packaging installation.
  • the conveyor belts 14 and 15 are also shown in fine dotted lines, abutted with respect to each other, positioned above the conveyor 11 with cleats, that is to say in an intermediate position, when they are placed in the active substitution position or in the inactive position.
  • the figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional elevation according to 2-2, showing the various elements of the packaging plant according to the invention, at the level of the substitution conveyor system 13.
  • conveyor 11 with cleats which consists of two endless chains 11a and 11b whose spacing is adjustable to take into account the dimensions of the batches of products 2 and the dimensions of the cutout 6.
  • the apparatus 12 of the type with belts or lug chains.
  • This apparatus 12 is carried by means of supports which are secured to the general frame 17 of the installation and / or the forming module 5.
  • substitution conveyor system 13 in the inactive position, that is to say in a position which is located at a level substantially greater than the level of said apparatus 12.
  • the figure 3 shows, in schematic cross-section according to 3-3, the installation in a configuration which allows the bare passage of batches of products 2 at the forming module 5, which module 5 is completely shunted, that is to say that it is totally inoperative.
  • the chains 11a and 11b of the conveyor 11 with cleats are spaced relative to each other to make room for the substitution conveyor system 13, which conveyor system 13 is positioned at the same level as the active part of the chains 11a and 11b, acting as sole between the conveyor 7 input and the conveyor 8 output.
  • the apparatus 12 retains its position above the downstream portion of the forming module 5; it can be retracted in height depending on the size of the products. In this configuration of the installation, the product batches 2 can flow freely between the input conveyor 7 and the output conveyor 8.
  • the figure 4 shows, in the form of a schematic elevation, the installation according to the invention and in particular the positioning of the substitution conveyor system 13, between the input conveyor 7 and the output conveyor 8.
  • This substitute conveyor system 13 comprises a conveyor belt 14 which serves as an upstream conveyor belt 14 and a conveyor belt 15 which acts as a downstream conveyor belt. These two conveyor belts 14 and 15 are abutted with each other and with, respectively, the conveyor 7 input and the conveyor 8 output. They establish a continuity for the surface or sole circulation of product batches 2 between the input conveyor 7 and the output conveyor 8.
  • the substitution conveying system 13 is carried on each side by a pantograph-shaped support 19 which is hinged, at its upper part, on the general frame 17 of the installation.
  • the pantographs 19 carry a structure 20 on which is installed the conveyor belt 14 upstream and this structure 20 serves as a support and guide for the frame 21 of the downstream conveyor belt 15.
  • the downstream conveyor belt 15 is carried by the frame 21 but, in the active conveying position, as shown figure 4 , it is wedged relative to the frame 17 by means of vertically disposed legs 22, which legs 22 serve as a support for the downstream conveyor belt and they rest on supports 23 arranged at the level of said general frame 17 for placing said conveyor belt 15 in position active substitution, projecting downstream of the installation relative to the conveyor belt 14 upstream.
  • the feet 22 are slidably mounted on the frame 21 and this frame 21 is itself guided on the structure by means of a system of slides 24 to move from the downstream to the upstream when, as shown figure 5 , the entire substitution conveyor system 13 changes from the active substitution position to the inactive position.
  • the substitution conveyor system 13 actually comprises a kind of telescopic conveyor belt which consists of the upstream conveyor belt 14 and the downstream conveyor belt 15.
  • the pantograph system 19 comprises two arms 25 and 26 hinged together at their middle portion, forming scissors; they are articulated about a central axis 27 which is located at least at the apparatus 12, preferably substantially above.
  • the arm 25 extends between a hinge 28 located at the upper part of the installation, secured to the frame 17, and a hinge 29 which is movable on a slide system 30 which extends longitudinally on the structure 20 which carries the conveyor belt 14 upstream.
  • the arm 26 extends between a fixed point 31 located on the structure 20 of the conveyor belt 14 upstream and a hinge 32 which is movable, guided on a slide system 33 which is secured to the frame 17 general of the installation and / or module 5 shaping.
  • the deployment or folding of the pantograph 19 is effected, for example, by means of a screw-nut system; the screw 34 being interposed between the central axis 27 of the pantograph and a nut 35, which nut 35, which is operated by appropriate means, is secured to the frame 17 generally by means of a bearing 36 mounted on a hinge 37.
