    专利说明:

    [0001] The invention relates to an apparatus for producing bales according to the preamble of claim 1, which comprises a single or multi-way container feed or single or multi-way container flows, at least one piece of equipment. rotating on a central axis and belonging to a handling device, having at least one applicator element in the region of the handling device, by means of which at least one bonding agent or adhesive and / or at least one bonding agent application or adhesive can be applied on or to the containers.
    [0002] Containers in the sense of the invention are, for example, bottles, cans, tubes, pouches, being made of metal, glass and / or plastic, thus, for example also PET bottles, but also other packaging elements, in particular those that are suitable for filling liquid or viscous products, but also containers already combined in groups (multipack). Such containers, for example, PET bottles, display a contact region, which is spherically arcuate, so that the containers can roll-off against each other around a peripheral path, that is, in a " roll-off ring ". With glass bottles, in the case of multiple use of the bottle this can be seen for example from the wear ring which is generally recognizable in the bright accent. In the case of PET bottles, such "roll-off rings" can be arranged not only in the head region, but in the foot region as well.
    [0003] It is known that containers such as glass bottles or PET bottles are capped after filling and then provided with one or more labels. For this purpose, one or more individual labels for example are applied to the container with an adhesive as shown for examples in DE 40 13 938 C2 or DE 197 12 193 C2. It is also known for the container to be fully enveloped with a label sleeve or a so-called roll feed label. DE 201 10 763 U1 discloses such a sleeve labeler in which the sleeve label is taken from a storage roll, cut to a suitable length and then stretched and pulled over the bottle. The length of the sleeve then contracts so that the sleeve label rests firmly against the surface of the bottle.
    [0004] The roll feed method and such apparatus are known from DE 102 43 701 A1. The bottle is wrapped in a label, the beginning of which is attached to the container and the end of which is attached to the beginning of the label.
    [0005] Especially for the application of a plurality of individual labels for a bottle, it is known that the bottle is aligned on the labeling device, so that, for example, the belly and breast label, or the decorative image on the cap, is arranged in a defined position in relation to each other. The bottles that are labeled in this way are often later combined on packaging machines to form bales in which a group of bottles or containers, often four or six individual bottles, are wrapped in a film which is then shrunk to provide a stable unit of sales.
    [0006] In detail, the production of the bales is carried out, for example, so that the containers are fed upright on a transport plane of a conveyor and with its container axis oriented in the vertical or essentially vertical direction in a transport to in bulk or in a large container stream in which the containers are randomly oriented with respect to distinctive container characteristics and / or finishing characteristics. This large container flow is then converted into a plurality of single-track flows by the passage division. The compartmentalization of the containers that form the subsequent bales or their container groups from the one-way container flows, the approximation of the required number of containers to form a compacted container group, in which the containers are supported against each other by a plurality of envelope or peripheral surfaces, that is, by the contact or touch surfaces, and the connection of the containers of each group of containers to form the compact and firm, as well as stable bales, are carried out in other stages of the process.
    [0007] Combining or forming a plurality of articles in a group of articles and groups of articles to produce firm and / or transportable bales or storage and transport units using shrink films (for example, US 7 726 464 B2) is known to the knowledgeable person. One of the disadvantages of this is that the films used, and in particular the shrinkage of the films by the application of heat or energy, do not cause negligible expense.
    [0008] It has also been proposed to produce transportable bales by the containers that form a group of containers to be packed, that is, gathered in a bale, by a belt that encompasses the group of containers in the form of a loop (DE 10 2009 025 824 A1, DE 10 2009 044 271 A1, DE 41 26 212 A1), which is a particularly simple and inexpensive way to produce bales or transport and storage units. The strap can also be connected with the containers. A disadvantage of the belt, however, is that when a container is first removed from such a bale, the remaining containers in the bale are no longer held by the belt. This is the case, not only when the belt is removed or cut but also when it is possible to take a bale container without cutting the belt.
    [0009] Furthermore, transporting such bales on a conveyor belt always presents the danger that cylindrical or mainly cylindrical articles, such as cans, bottles or containers, will assume a nesting position, that is, they will slide into a gap in the adjacent row, due vibration, impacts, etc. With known bales, a very high tension must be applied to the belt in order to avoid this.
    [0010] DE 10 2006 037 105 A1 on the other hand refers to a method for combining bottle packs in which a rotating star wheel that presses bottle necks on clips on flat conveyors is provided on both sides of a track . The bottle package is also wrapped with tape or an envelope (film).
    [0011] According to DE 23 31 193 A1, an adhesive is applied to containers on narrow surfaces or rows, with contiguous surfaces that are not provided with adhesive, being intended to facilitate a gripping of the packaging for transportation purposes. The containers stick to each other at the adhesive points. EP 2 096 039 A1 also refers to containers being provided with an adhesive, with a shrinking film also being arranged around the bottle package, however.
    [0012] The object of the invention is to provide an apparatus and a method for producing bales of the type mentioned at the beginning, and, despite the lack of an enveloping film and / or despite the lack of straps, articles are always prevented in a way simple to adopt a nesting position while being transported, and even after one or more articles are removed from a bale the cohesion of the remaining articles in the bale is maintained or can be restored.
    [0013] An apparatus for producing bales according to claim 1 or a method according to claim 14 is provided to achieve that object.
    [0014] The handling device displays one or more finishing carousels, in which both one and a plurality of labels or printed images and a contact adhesive and / or application of adhesive is carried out, for the immediate subsequent compacting of the containers and forming burden. For this purpose the containers can be rotated on a vertical axis on the equipment carousel with ideally a suitable plurality of lower guides provided at each handling position of a container on the equipment carousel, for example base plates / turntables, and / or a plurality of upper guides, for example, in the form of holding and centering tulips.
    [0002] Containers in the sense of the invention are, for example, PET bottles, that is, bottles, cans, tubes, pouches, among others, being made of metal, glass and / or plastic, but also other packaging elements in particular those that are suitable for filling liquid or viscous products, but also containers already combined in groups (multipack). The bale containers are arranged in a non-nesting position.
    [0016] "Contact adhesives or adhesives" in the sense of the invention are, inter alia, all materials or masses that facilitate an adhesive bond between containers, in particular compounds, materials or masses which, when applied in the form of liquid or semi-state -liquid a self-adhesive coating and / or cause an adhesive bond under the application of pressure and / or energy and / or after curing, or crosslinking (including through application of energy). "Contact adhesives or adhesives" in the sense of the invention are, inter alia, also multilayer materials, for example, those that include at least one carrier material which is coated with a material with which an adhesive bond between containers is possible, therefore , are binder and / or adhesive active on at least two sides. Such adhesive agents can also be referred to as pads. An "adhesive" container displays, in the sense of the invention, contact adhesive or adhesive, that is, it is provided with an application of contact adhesive and adhesive. The contact adhesive is preferably selected so that the containers can be removed from the bale and separated from each other by hand and without damage. It is conceivable for liquid adhesive to be applied by the application elements. It is possible to apply a low viscosity UV curing adhesive. A heat melt adhesive would also be suitable as it cools very quickly, however, and then it could possibly lose its adhesive properties before the bale containers are sufficiently bonded together. A UV curing adhesive is also beneficial due to the particularly easy configuration of its desired properties. A corresponding curing station or curing section is expediently provided with the application elements statically or along the linear conveyor above and if necessary also below. A curing station can be a tunnel with UV lighting, for example. The curing station is preferably arranged downstream of the handling apparatus, preferably on the linear conveyor.
    [0017] It is beneficial if the handling device has the equipment carousel, an input device and the output device. The input device can be configured as an input star wheel, input screw, etc. A device that holds containers so that they cannot rotate should ideally be selected for the outlet device. Here, an output star wheel can be provided in whose packages elements or anti-rotation rubber-like surfaces are arranged. Ideally an outlet star-wheel is provided that displays a suction element in each receptacle for a bottle or container, the suction elements being connected to a vacuum pump and ideally the vacuum supply being configured in such a way that it is only active within a defined angular range of the output star-wheel. The input device adapts the flow of the container entering the perimeter (pitch) of the equipment carousel so that the respective containers can be transferred to the equipment carousel without any problem. The containers can be transported forward, at predetermined intervals, with the output device.
    [0018] It is expedient if the lower guides are executed as turntables, with the upper guides displaying packaging or centering tulips at the end of the hold or being configured as them. In this way the respective container is as if it were fixed between the turntable and the packaging or centralization tulip and held firmly in position. An individual container rotation that is additional to the rotation on the equipment carousel axis can be carried out with the motorized unit of the turntable and / or the upper guide. Consequently, as it moves along its transport path, the container is rotated as necessary on the axis of rotation of the equipment carousel and in relation to the latter so that, in the peripheral direction of the container, finishing features such as labels can be applied and a plurality of contact and touch surfaces of the container can also be provided with contact adhesive or adhesive. It is to your advantage if a plurality of application elements are provided that when viewed in the direction of rotation of the equipment carousel follows each other or if the application elements are arranged both radially inside and radially outside, as long as the time of rotation for the application of a plurality of amounts of contact adhesive or adhesive to the periphery of a container is thus reduced.
    [0019] By means of the units, in interaction with suitable inspection devices, standing containers can also be favorably aligned on certain container resources and / or providing resources, that is, in so-called embossing, for example and then be specifically provided for container with contact adhesive and / or adhesive such that the containers of a bale are accommodated within the bale in order to be aligned exactly identical to each other.
    [0020] In a preferred embodiment it can be provided for two application elements to be arranged so that one is above the other, with subsequent application elements being similarly arranged one above the other. Each element of the application can thus always provide precisely a container region, that is, a section of the contact and touch surface, with contact adhesive and adhesive. The application elements can naturally be operable, that is, adjustable in their inclination in relation to each spatial axis, for example, in the case of a spraying or sprinkling application of the contact and adhesive adhesive. The application elements can of course also be incorporated with the container concerned over at least a partial distance, although this is not absolutely necessary.
    [0021] The handling equipment, preferably the equipment carousel or output device, is immediately followed by a compartmentation or compaction section or compartmentalization or compaction devices, for example, a linear conveyor, with containers provided with the still wet or activable contact adhesive and adhesive being combined into bales and carried forward. Static and / or movable guide elements can be provided on both sides of the linear conveyor and drag elements can be provided, each being associated with a bale.
    [0022] The guide elements are configured for example as the guide rails that guide and support the bales and / or bale containers between them. It is conceivable for the guide elements to be rigidly executed. However, it is also possible for the guide elements to be configured as traveling elements so that the containers or bales do not have a speed relative to the laterally arranged guide elements. A lateral pressure which is for the purpose of an adhesive bonding of the bale containers can be generated with the guide elements laterally arranged. In other words, the guide elements not only have the function of orientation and support, but also the function of generating pressure acting on the containers that when looked at in the square in the direction of transport compresses the containers or the bale, that is, drag them closer to each other, pressing them against each other to make a proper adhesive bond.
    [0023] In a preferred embodiment, the drag elements are arranged squares for the transport direction and extending entirely through the linear conveyor, and when viewed in the transport direction they are arranged behind the bale so that it would push the bale forward before their. As a result of this, a force is beneficially generated which assists in interconnecting the containers when viewed in or against the direction of transport and compression. In order to improve the connection between bale containers when viewed not only squares in the direction of transport, but in the direction of transport as well, the drag elements can transmit the containers or bales at a speed acting in relation to the conveyor when viewed in the direction of transport. If the transport speed of the drag element or elements is greater than the transport speed of the linear conveyor, this brings about a push or slip of the containers or bale from the inlet side to the outlet side. It is evident that the pushing force can increase the adhesive bond considerably. In a preferred mode, the drag elements can be configured as a bar, that is, as a drag bar. The drag elements can also be guided themselves and / or be in connection with the guide elements. As well as the functions already mentioned, the guide elements could also sort of assume the role of guide for the drag elements. If the guide elements are driven, that is, they are provided to circulate, it is very in the interest of the invention to rigidly attach the drag elements to the guide elements, in which case the relative speed mentioned above could be generated by means of the element unit guide. The guide elements can also be adjustable in the transverse direction, so that the device is also adjustable for the dimensions of the different container. The transport speed of the linear conveyor, the guide elements and / or the drag elements can be individually adjusted and suitable control centers or central control units of a general installation can be used for this purpose.
    [0024] It is also possible to provide the burden in the region of the compartmentalization and / or compaction unit with a transport element, for example, a cable, for the end of which suitable devices can be provided which are arranged downstream of the outlet side or in a suitable position on the linear conveyor.
    [0025] The transport element can naturally be attached to the bale or between adjacent containers of a bale with the contact adhesive mentioned above or adhesive to be glued at the same time during the compaction and the convergence of the containers after the equipment carousel or the exit in the region of the compartmentalization and / or compaction unit.
    [0026] By these means the invention provides an apparatus for producing a bale that (apparatus) despite the lack of an enveloping film and / or a strap simply prevents the containers from adopting a nesting position while being transported and with which previously mentioned film can be entirely dispensed with. Even after one or more containers are removed from a bale, the cohesion of the remaining containers in the bale is maintained. Dispensing with a film or strap band (bottle packaging without film) facilitates the loading on the environment, avoiding waste, thus also saving resources used to produce the films or straps that are normally produced from plastic. The bale containers are attached directly to each other during transport, that is, in the continuous operation of the baler, that is, the packaging machine. A filmless bottle packaging can also be achieved with a minimal adhesive application that exhibits an adequate bonding of the individual containers to each other.
    [0027] The particular advantage, however, lies in the fact that, by providing application elements for contact adhesive and adhesive in a labeling carousel, the packaging machine and the usual shrink tunnel can be dispensed with. This is a considerable advantage from the point of view of energy and cost.
    [0028] Other modalities, advantages and possible applications of the invention appear outside the following description of the modalities and outside the figures. All the attributes described and / or represented pictorially if alone or in any desired combination are fundamentally the object of the invention regardless of their synopsis in the claims or their retroactive application. The content of the claims is also an integral part of the description.
    [0029] The invention is explained in detail below, using an exemplary modality with reference to the figures. In the figures: Fig. 1 shows perspective view of a partial section of an apparatus to produce a bale with six articles or containers, Fig. 2 shows in partial view the partial section of Figure 1 Fig. 3 shows, in the side view, the section partial view of Figure 1, Fig. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment of a compartmentalization or compaction section in exemplary mode as a linear conveyor, Fig. 5 shows a side view of an alternate linear compartmentation and section, and Fig. 6 shows an plan view of the upper unit of a sectioning and compaction section
    [0030] In different figures, identical parts are identified by the same reference character in each case, which is why they are usually described only once.
    [0031] Figure 1 shows a partial section of an apparatus 1 for producing bales 2 of containers 3, that is, of a packaging machine, with containers 3 first being converted from a large container flow into a plurality of, as for example displayed in two one-way container flows 4.1 and 4.2, in which containers 3 exhibit an arbitrary orientation. With a constructionally adapted and suitable sectioning and compacting section and a compacting section apparatus it is also of course possible to configure a single track or more than one double track installation using the following modalities.
    [0032] In the present example, a handling apparatus, 5.1 and 5.2 is provided for each of the container flows 4.1 and 4.2, with respective handling apparatus 5 showing a plurality of lower guides 6 and upper guides 7 for containers 3; along the container transport path 3, an equipment module 23, as a labeling module, is first provided in each handling device or in its equipment carousel 12 or 12.1 and 12.2 and then two application elements 8 are arranged . In the modality shown in Figure 1, 8 application elements are organized in such a way that the contact adhesive and adhesive can be dispensed on the surface of the bottle above and below the label. Containers 3 are combined in bales 2 downstream of the handling device 5.
    [0033] Containers 3 are transported from an inlet side 9 towards an outlet side 10 (axial transport direction 14), with equipment modules 23 and application elements 8 being provided in handling device 5 for the application of contact adhesive or adhesive, and with containers 3 being combined to form a complete bale 2 downstream of the handling apparatus 5 and transported towards the outlet side 10.
    [0034] figure 1 shows that each handling device 5 or 5.1 and 5.2 displays an input device 11 or 11.1 and 11.2, equipment carousel 12, or 12.1 and 12.2 and an output device 13 or 13.1 and 13.2 for the respective track container 4.1 and 4.2. Input device 11 is executed as an input star wheel and output device 13 as an output star wheel. Because a handling device 5 is provided for each container path 4.1 and 4.2, they or their components are provided in the figures with the auxiliary number ".1" or ". 2", to indicate the association with the respective container path 4.1 and 4.2. The respective components are of course, as a rule, configured in an identical way, but could, if necessary, also be formed differently or dispensed as technically expedient. On one of the two transport paths, for example, none of the application elements 8 could be provided if the application of the contact adhesive and adhesive 25 on another transport route were sufficient.
    [0035] By way of example, lower guides 6 on the equipment carousel 12 are performed as a motor-driven turntable, with their upper guides 7 displaying packing or centering tulips that are mounted on the gripping end, or being configured as such . The respective container 3, therefore, is secured as if it were positionally secure between the turntable 6 and the packing tulip 7. As stated earlier, such turntables and packaging or centering tulips are known from industrial labeling machines.
    [0036] As can be seen in each of figures 1 and 2, an equipment module 23 is provided, here in the form of a labeling module for dispensing self-adhesive labels for dispenser head 23.1 and a plurality of application elements 8 in the equipment carousel 12 that follow each other when viewed in the direction of rotation (arrow 18) or equipment carousel 12. Through the turntable 6 it is even more favorable for standing containers to be aligned on a certain container and / or resources of equipment, for example, in so-called embossing, and then specifically provided for container with contact adhesive and adhesive such that containers 3 of a bale 2 are accommodated within the bale 2 in order to be aligned exactly identical one in relation to the other. Appropriate inspection devices (not shown) can be provided for this purpose.
    [0037] The rotation of the containers can also be performed simply to provide the container or containers 3 with contact adhesive and the adhesive on a plurality of contact and touch surfaces when viewed in the peripheral direction, for example, in fixed increments of 90 °. An alignment or rotation, for example, in and / or between application elements 8 following the direction of rotation 19 is indicated by the reference character 20 in Figure 2.
    [0020] In a preferred embodiment, two application elements 8 can be arranged one above the other, with subsequent application elements 8 being likewise arranged one above the other. Each element of application 8 can thus always provide precisely a container region, that is, a section of the contact and touch surface, with contact adhesive and adhesive. The application elements 8 can of course be operable, that is, adjustable in their inclination in relation to each spatial axis, for example, in the case of a spraying or sprinkling application of the contact and adhesive adhesive. Elements of application 8 can of course also travel with respective container 3 for at least a partial distance, although this is not normally necessary.
    [0039] A linear conveyor 15 that functions as a compartmentalization and / or compaction section 22 is arranged immediately downstream of the output apparatus 13 or both of the output star-wheels 13.1 and 13.2. Output device 13 or the two output star wheels 13.1 and 13.2 bring adherent containers 3 together square for axial transport direction 14 and transfer adherent containers 3 in pairs to linear conveyor 15 as shown in Figure 2 by reference character 19. In In the process, two of the adherent containers 3 are first pressed together on their contact and touch surfaces; linear conveyor 15 can be configured so that a combination of a plurality of pairs of containers, for example three, to form bale 2, which has six containers 3, is carried out. For this purpose, linear conveyor 15 can display drag elements 21, and in addition side guide elements 16 can also be provided as shown in Figure 4. All components are interconnected through a regulation and control unit 27.
    [0040] As shown in Figure 3, outlet device 13 is ideally connected to a vacuum pump 28 and features suction elements (not shown) that hold containers 3 at a defined and invariable angle of rotation position. Ideally containers 3 are not released until there has been contact with an adjacent container 3. In a simpler embodiment, outlet device 28 may also have recesses and / or surfaces that, due to its reinforced friction coefficient, prevent or prevent rotations of containers 3, for example, a rubber or tooth-like moldings, or a combination thereof.
    [0041] Handling devices 5 or output devices 13, therefore, are followed by the linear conveyor 15 which functions as a sectioning and compaction section. Static and / or moving guide elements 16 are arranged on both sides of the linear conveyor 15, in the present example with input elements 21 being provided, each of which is associated with a bale 2. Drag elements 21 make a meeting with the along the axial transport direction 14, that is, a joint pressure of the containers 3 of a bale 2. Guide elements 16 also exert a pressure force on the containers 3 square for transport direction 14 such that the adhesive bond is favorably influenced crosswise and maintained for a defined period of time.
    [0042] If a curing station 17, in the modality as a UV curing station, for example, is necessary for the UV curing adhesive, it is beneficially positioned on the linear conveyor 15. As an alternative or in combination, radiator UV 26 extending in the direction of transport can be arranged above grouped containers or above bales 3.
    [0043] An alternative compaction station is shown in figures 5 and 6. Here, the flow / flows of containers or containers 3 were no longer pushed by the outlet elements 13 in square pairs into the direction of transport and brought into contact. After the equipment carousel 12 and as the case can then be an outlet element 13, interleaved containers 3 are passed to a linear conveyor 15 within whose region a top unit is infinitely circulating 30 with centering tulips 31 which can be raised and lowered and / or an infinitely circulating bottom unit 29 with drag elements 21 by which containers 3 are guided anti-rotationally and positionally in a stable manner and move close together. In the example in Figure 5, the two units operate in parallel practically throughout the extent of compaction and compartmentation.
    [0044] In the example shown in Figure 6, centering tulips 31 from the top unit 30 are first descended onto containers 3, with infinite circulation top unit 30 moving the centering tulips 31 in the direction of transport at the same transport speed as that of the linear conveyor 15. In partial length section 22.1 of compartmentalization and compaction section 22, the anti-rotationally attached containers 3 are moved to the side tracks and a container 3 is connected with an adjacent container 3. Centering tulip 31 transits square for transport direction 14 while held on cross guides 32. During or immediately after contact, containers 3 that are connected in this way are thrown out of their hold by the centering tulip 31 which is generated by meat (not shown) and retracted to the outside.
    [0045] Simultaneously with or immediately after the aforementioned launch of centering tulips 31 in the case of a third and final container pair or a desired container group which is to form a bale 2, drag element 21 is approached per unit lower 29. The speed of the lower unit 29 is greater than the previous conveying speed or that of the linear conveyor 15 in the region of the second partial length 22.2 of sectioning and compacting section 22, so that the container group is accelerated and compressed to form a bale 2. The curing or drying of a contact adhesive or adhesive 25 is carried out according to the above modality. Alternatively, the first container pairs can be interrupted or delayed in their transport speed until all container pairs of a bale 2, here three by bale 2, are in contact.
    [0046] A variant in which the group of containers 3 belonging to a package 2 are held by the centering tulips 31 until the rear of the pairs of containers belonging to each other are linked, or in whose containers 3 are guided and maintained by their heads until the bale is finally formed, that is, including compaction in the direction of transport, is not shown.
