    专利说明:

    [0001] The invention relates to a device for producing packages according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising a single or multiple stroke container feed or single or multiple stroke container streams, at least one primary star rotating on a central axis and belonging to a star carrier with at least one application element in the region of the star carrier, by means of which at least one adhesive agent and / or at least one application of adhesive agent can be applied on or in 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 to be filled with liquid or viscous products, but also containers already combined in groups (multiple packages). Such containers, for example, PET bottles, exhibit a contact region that is executed in a spherical arcuate manner, in such a way that the containers can, so to speak, roll against each other around a peripheral path, that is, in a "release 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 recognized in bright accent. In the case of PET bottles, such "release rings" can be arranged not only in the upper region, but also in the lower region.
    [0003] In detail, the production of the packages is carried out, for example, so that the containers are fed upright on a flat transport surface of a conveyor and with its container axis oriented in the vertical or essentially vertical direction in a transport in bulk or in a large container flow in which the containers are randomly oriented in relation to the distinguishing characteristics of the container and / or characteristics of the supply. This large container flow is then converted into a plurality of single-course container flows by the route division. The compartmentalization of the containers that form the subsequent packages or their container groups from the single-course container flows, the gathering of the necessary number of containers to form a compacted group of containers, in which the containers are against each other by a plurality of surfaces in 10 envelopes or peripherals, that is, by contact or touch surfaces, and the connection of the containers of each container group to form the compact and firm or stable package, are carried out in additional steps of the process.
    [0004] Combining or forming a plurality of articles 15 into a group of articles and from groups of articles to produce transportable and / or firm storage and transport units or packages using heat shrink films (e.g., US 7 726 464 A1) is known by a knowledgeable person. One of the disadvantages of this is that the used films, and in particular, the shrinkage of the films by the application of heat or energy, is expensive.
    [0005] It has also been proposed to produce transportable packages by containers that are formed into a group of containers to be packed, that is, connected together in a package, by a strap that surrounds the group of containers in the form of a loop (DE 10 2009 025 824 25 A1, DE 10 2009 044 271 A1, DE 41 26 212 A1); this is a particularly simple and inexpensive way to produce packages or units for transport and storage. The strap can also be connected with the containers. A drawback of the strap, however, is that when a container is first removed from such a package, the remaining containers in the package are no longer supported by the straps. This is the case, not only when the strap is removed or cut, but also when it is possible to take a container from the package without cutting the straps.
    [0006] Furthermore, transporting such packages on a belt conveyor always presents the danger that cylindrical or mainly cylindrical articles, such as cans, bottles or containers, will assume an immobilized position, that is, slide into a gap in the adjacent row , due to vibration, impacts, etc. With known packages, a very high tension must be applied to the belt in order to avoid this.
    [0007] DE 10 2006 037 105 A1 discloses a method of combining bottle volumes in which a rotating star wheel that presses necks onto clamps on flat conveyors is provided on both sides of a stroke. The bottle volume is also wrapped with tape or an envelope (film).
    [0008] According to DE 23 31 193, an adhesive is applied in containers on narrow surfaces or lines, with contiguous surfaces that are not provided with adhesive, and are 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 shrink film also being placed around the bottle volume, however. DE 10 2008 038 146 A1 discloses a shaft drive system that exhibits a direct coaxial drive that contains the motor and in which the motor rotor is mounted directly on the shaft, and the stator, shaft and rotor are fixed externally involved. EP 1 647 518 B1, which returns to the applicant, discloses a sealing machine that exhibits a central pillar of fixed position that is free of elements for transmission of mechanical force and, therefore, contains only lines.
    [0009] The purpose of the invention is to provide a device and a method for producing packages of the type mentioned at the beginning, so that, despite the lack of a wrapping film and / or despite the lack of straps, the articles are always prevented, simple way of adopting an immobilization position while being transported, and even after one or more articles are removed from a package, the cohesion of the remaining articles in the package is maintained or can be restored.
    [0010] This objective is achieved by the provision of a device for producing packages, according to claim 1, with a star carrier being provided for each of the container flows, with the respective primary star of the respective star carrier exhibiting a plurality of base guides and / or top guides for containers, and considering that it is provided, immediately after the primary star, or an output device, a partitioning and / or compression unit or a partitioning or compression section for grouping and compression , as well as temporary pressure, of a predetermined number of containers, whereby the containers are combined to form a package downstream of the star carrier and transported ahead. It is advantageous if the respective primary star of the respective star carrier has both a plurality of base guides and a plurality of top guides for the containers.
    [0011] Containers, in the sense of the invention, are, for example, PET bottles, that is, inter alia bottles, cans, tubes, pouches, being made of metal, glass and / or plastic, but also other packaging elements, in particularly those that are suitable to be filled with a liquid or viscous products, but also containers already combined in groups (multiple packages). The packages' containers are placed in a non-immobilized position.
    [0012] "Adhesive agents", 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 liquid or semi-liquid state, form a self-adhesive coating and / or result in an adhesive bonding under the application of pressure and / or energy and / or after curing, or crosslinking (including through application of energy). "Bonding agents or adhesives", in the sense of the invention, are also inter alia multilayer materials, for example, those comprising at least one carrier material that is coated with a material with which an adhesive bond between containers is possible, are therefore, active by bonding or by adhesive on at least two sides. Such adhesive agents can also be referred to as adhesive papers. An "adhesive" container has, in the sense of the invention, a bonding agent or adhesive, or is provided with an application of the bonding agent and adhesive. The bonding agent or adhesive is preferably selected in such a way that the containers can be disconnected from the package and / or separated from each other by hand and without damage. It is conceivable that liquid adhesive agent is applied by the application elements. It is possible to apply a low viscosity UV curing adhesive. A hotmelt adhesive would also be suitable, which cools very quickly, however, and then could possibly lose its adhesive properties before the containers in the package are sufficiently bonded to each other. 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 suitably provided downstream of the application elements statically or along the linear conveyor above or, if necessary, also below. A curing station can be a tunnel with UV lighting, for example. The curing station is preferably positioned downstream from the star conveyor, preferably placed on the linear conveyor.
    [0013] It is appropriate, if the star carrier has the primary star, an input device and an output device. The input device can run as an input star, with the output device running as an output star. The input device adapts the input flow of the container to the reach of the main star in such a way that the respective containers can be transferred to the main star without problem. Containers can be transported ahead, at predetermined intervals, with the output device.
    [0014] It is appropriate if the base guides are configured as rotating plates, with the top guides displaying packaging or centering tulips at the support end, or 10 being configured as these. In this way, the respective container, when pressed between the turntable and the packaging or centralizing tulip, is held firmly in position. A rotation of the individual container in addition to the rotation around the axis of the primary star can be performed with the turntable and the main guide. This is favorable in order to transform the container on its transport path around the axis of rotation of the primary star in relation to the latter, in such a way that in the peripheral direction of the container, a plurality of contact and touch surfaces of the container can be provided with adhesive agent. It is also appropriate if a plurality of application elements are provided, which follow one another when viewed in the direction of rotation of the primary star. Through the rotating plate, it is also possible, even more favorably for the standing containers to be aligned in certain container and / or supply characteristics, for example, in the so-called embossed application and then provided with a container - 25 specifically with adhesive agent, of such that the containers in a package are accommodated within the package so that they are aligned exactly identically with each other.
    [0015] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided for two application elements to be arranged so that one is above the other, with the subsequent application elements being arranged in the same way, one above the other. Each application element can thus always provide precisely a container region, that is, a section of the contact and touch surface, with adhesive and adhesive contact. The application elements 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 application or spraying of adhesive and adhesive contact. Application elements can also be dragged with the container over at least a partial distance, although this is not absolutely necessary.
    [0016] The star conveyor, preferably the primary star or the output device, is immediately followed by a linear conveyor that functions, for example, as a partitioning or compression section, with the containers being combined to form packages and transported forward , and with static and / or moving guide elements possibly being provided on both sides of the linear conveyor and with draggable elements possibly being provided, each associated with a package.
    [0017] Guide elements can also be referred to as guide rails that guide and support packages or package containers between them. It is conceivable for the guide elements to be rigidly executed. It is also possible, however, for the guide elements to be configured as itinerant elements, such that the containers or packages do not have a speed relative to the laterally placed guide elements. A lateral pressure that is for the purpose of an adhesive bonding of the package containers can be generated with the guide elements laterally placed. In other words, guide elements not only have the function of guidance and support, but also the function of generating pressure acting on the containers which, when looked at perpendicular to the direction of transport, compress the containers or package and attract them closer each other, pressing them against each other in order to make a suitable adhesive bond.
    [0018] In a preferred embodiment, the draggable elements are arranged perpendicular to the direction of transport and extending entirely by the linear conveyor, and when viewed in the direction of transport, they are placed behind the package, in such a way that, as it were, they push the package together before them. As a result of this, a force is beneficially generated, which helps an interconnection of the containers when seen in or against the direction of transport, and / or a compression. In order to improve the link between the containers in the package containers when viewed not only perpendicular to the direction of transport, but also in the direction of transport, draggable elements can give the containers or package a speed acting in relation to the carrier when viewed in direction of transport. If the transport speed of the element or elements dragged is greater than the transport speed of the linear conveyor, this results in a pushing or sliding of the containers or package from the input side to the exit side. It is evident that the force of the pushing motion can increase the adhesive bond considerably. In a preferred mode, the draggable elements can be configured as a bar, that is, as an internal bar. The draggable elements can also be guided themselves and / or be in connection with the guide elements. As with the functions already mentioned, the guide elements could also assume the role of guide for the draggable elements. If the guide elements are driven, that is, they are provided to circulate, it is in the interest of the invention to rigidly attach draggable elements to the guide elements, in which case the relative speed mentioned above can be generated by means of the steering element direction. guide. The guide elements can also be adjustable in the transverse direction, such that the device is also adjustable for the different dimensions of the container. The transport speed of the linear conveyor, guide elements and / or draggable elements can be individually adjusted, and suitable control centers or central control units of a general installation can be used for this purpose.
    [0019] It is also possible to provide the package with a transport element, for example, a cable, for which devices with a suitable end can be provided that are arranged downstream of the outlet side or in a suitable position on the linear conveyor. The transport element can be attached to the package with said adhesive.
    [0020] The invention therefore provides a device for producing a package and which, despite the lack of a wrapping film and / or despite the lack of straps, simply prevents containers from adopting an immobilization position while are transported and, even after one or more containers are removed from a package, the cohesion of the remaining containers in the package is maintained and / or can be restored. Dispensing with a film or strap band (bottle package without film) facilitates the impact on the environment, avoiding waste, thus also saving resources used to produce the films or straps that are normally produced from plastic. The containers of a package are aligned and attached directly to each other during transport, that is, in the continuous operation of the device for the production of packages, and / or the packaging machine. A bottle pack without a film can also be achieved with a minimal application of the adhesive that displays a proper connection of the individual containers to each other.
    [0021] As mentioned earlier, containers can be aligned, for example, according to the design characteristics. The alignment function can be delegated to a separate alignment star arranged upstream of the primary star. The container flows can be fed into the alignment star by means of an input star, with the input star corresponding to that mentioned above. Between the alignment star and the primary star, there is, preferably, a transfer star placed that, in a preferred embodiment, can have the dimensions of the entry star and / or the exit star mentioned above. Detection systems, for example, camera systems, are arranged on the alignment star that detects the actual position of, for example, labels and / or embossed applications and / or other characteristics. The actual data is fed into an evaluator that compares it with stored nominal data, in such a way that top or bottom guides, for example, packaging tulips or rotating plates, can carry out a corresponding transfer of the container related to the desired and nominal position . Such an alignment is known, for example, from labeling machines in which, for example, bottles are aligned in such a way that labels can be applied to bottles with identical orientation. It can be properly achieved, with the alignment or with the alignment star, that the containers with labels and / or other design characteristics are received in the future package with an identical orientation; because in the alignment star, the containers are moved to the respective nominal position, with the container aligned in the individual nominal position, later being manipulated in the primary star, as described. The container aligned in nominal position remains in place along its transport path.
    [0022] Containers with different dimensions and / or formats can be handled. If a format change is necessary, the operating parameters and operating components must be adapted to the new shape of the container. Input, transfer or output stars could, for example, be exchanged, with the invention advantageously providing for the alignment star and / or the primary star to be configured with adjustable main axes, so that, despite the shape change, the alignment star and / or the primary star can remain with its components in the handling facility. The main axes of the primary star and / or alignment star are, preferably, adjustable to meet the new container shape both parallel to the direction of transport and transversally to it. The top and / or bottom guides are preferably configured to be universally usable.
    [0023] It is also beneficial, in the sense of the invention, when the star carrier or its components, preferably the primary star and / or the alignment star, is configured with a vertical column in which a steering element is integrated. The steering element is preferably configured as an actionable electric motor. The vertical column can, as mentioned earlier, be movable along the adjustment axes, in order to be adjustable, for example, to a change of shape. Instead of a linear feed, containers can also be fed using a container-flow transport star.
    [0024] Modalities, advantages and possible additional applications of the invention arise from the following description of modalities and figures. All attributes described and / or represented pictorially alone or in any desired combination are fundamentally the subject of the invention, regardless of their synopsis in the claims or their retroactive application. The content of the claims is also made an integral part of the description.
    [0025] The invention is explained in detail below, using an example of modality with reference to the figures. In the figures:

    [0034] Fig. 9 this device in perspective view
    [0035] In different figures, identical parts are identified by the same reference character in each case, which is why they are usually described only once.
    [0036] Figure 1 shows a partial section of a device 1 for producing packages 2 from containers 3, or a packaging machine 1, with containers 3 being first converted from a large container stream into a plurality of, such as described, for example, in two single-stroke container flows 4.1 and 4.2, in which containers 3 exhibit an arbitrary orientation in relation to their container characteristics and / or supply characteristics.
    [0037] A star carrier 5 or 5.1 and 5.2 is provided for each of the container flows 4.1 and 4.2, with respective star transport 5 showing a plurality of base guides 6 and top guides 7 for containers 3, application elements 8 being placed on the star carrier or on its main star 12 or 12.1 and 12.2 and containers 3 being combined downstream of the star carrier 5 to form package 2.
    [0038] Containers 3 are transported from one side of the entrance 9 towards an exit side 10 (axial transport direction 14), with application elements 8 being provided in the star conveyor 5 for the application of adhesive agent, and with containers 3 being combined to form a complete package 2 downstream of the star conveyor 5 and transported towards the outlet side 10.
    [0039] Figure 1 shows that each star carrier 5 or 5.1 and 5.2 has an input device 11 or 11.1 and 11.2, primary star 12, or 12.1 and 12.2 and an output device 13 or 13.1 and 13.2 for the respective container course 4.1 and 4.2. Input device 11 runs as an input star and output device 13 as an output star. Because a 5 star transport is provided for each container course 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 course 4.1 and 4.2 . The respective components are identical in each case.
    [0040] Base guides 6 on primary star 12 are configured, for example, as rotating plates, with their top guides 7 displaying packaging or centering tulips on the support end or being configured as such. The respective container 3 is therefore supported, so to speak, positionally secure between turntable 6 and packaging tulip 7. Rotating dishes and packaging or centralizing tulips are known, for example, from labeling machines.
    [0041] As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, a plurality of application elements 8 are provided in the primary star 12 and that follow each other when viewed in the direction of rotation (arrow 18) of the main star 12. For through the turntable 6, it is also possible, even more favorably, for the standing containers to be aligned in certain container and / or supply characteristics, for example, in so-called embossed applications, and then provided with container - specifically with adhesive agent, in such a way that the containers 3 of a package 2 are accommodated within the package 2 in order to be aligned exactly identically with each other. A rotation of the containers can also be performed simply to provide the container or containers 3 with adhesive agent on a plurality of contact and touch surfaces when viewed in the peripheral direction. An alignment or rotation, for example, upstream of application elements 8 and / or between application elements 8 following in the direction of rotation 19 is indicated by the reference character 20 in Figure 2.
    [0042] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided for two application elements 8 to be arranged one above the other, with the subsequent application elements 8 being arranged, in the same way, one above the other. Each application element 8 can thus always provide precisely a container region, that is, a section of the contact and touch surface, with adhesive and adhesive contact. 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 spray application or spraying of adhesive and adhesive contact. The application elements 8 can also be dragged with the container 3 over at least a partial distance, although this is not absolutely necessary.
    [0043] A linear conveyor 15 that functions as a partitioning and / or compression section 22 is disposed immediately downstream of the output device 13 or both of the output star wheels 13.1 and 13.2. Output device 13 or the two output stars 13.1 and 13.2 assemble adherent containers 3 and transfer adherent containers 3 in pairs to linear conveyor 15, as described in Figure 2 by reference character 19. In the process, two of the adherent containers 3 are pressed first 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 the package 2, which has six containers 3, is carried out. For this purpose, linear conveyor 15 can display draggable elements 21, and, in addition, side guide elements 16 can also be provided as shown in Figure 4.
    [0044] Linear conveyor 15 is therefore downstream of star conveyor 5 or outlet device 13 and static and / or moving guide elements 16 can be provided on both sides of linear conveyor 15 and draggable elements 21 can also be provided. provided, each of which is associated with a package 2. Draggable elements 21 can carry out a meeting along the axial transport direction 14, therefore, a pressure next to the containers 3 of a package 2. Guide elements 16 can effect a force pressure in containers 3 perpendicular to the direction of transport 14, in such a way that the bonding adhesive is favorably influenced also in the transverse direction.
    [0045] 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.
    [0046] As already mentioned, the alignment of containers 3 in a nominal position can be carried out by the transport path of the primary star 12.1 or 12.2. In the case of the modality depicted in Figures 5 to 7, the alignment is performed on an alignment star 23.1 and 23.2 which is provided upstream of the respective main star 12.1 and 12.2. Containers 3 of container flows 4.1 and 4.2 are fed to alignment star 23.1 or 23.2 through the respective entry star 11.1 or 11.2. Detection systems 24.1 or 24.2 are arranged, each in an exemplary mode as a camera system in the respective alignment star 23.1 or 23.2. Between the respective alignment star 23.1 or 23.2 and between the respective primary star 12.1 or 12.2, a transfer star 25.1 or 25.2 is arranged in each case, which in an also preferred mode can display the dimensions of the entry star 11.1 or 11.2 and / or star exit already mentioned 13.1 or 13.2. Exemplary camera systems 24.1 or 24.2 detect the actual position of, for example, labels and / or embossed applications and / or other characteristics. The actual data is fed into an evaluator that compares it with stored nominal data, in such a way that top or bottom guides, for example, packaging tulips 7 or turntable 6, can carry out a corresponding transfer of container 3 related to the position desired and nominal. Container 3 aligned in the nominal position remains there along its transport path. In the additional path of the partitioning and / or compression section 22, the packet flow is divided into, for example, two parallel packet flows as shown, for example, in Figure 5.
    [0047] In an improved modality of the device (Fig. 8, 9), the star conveyors are replaced by transport systems of endless circulation that are configured as linear units provided with wagons steered by circulation and electrically. For each container 3, the container guides, such as the base guide 6 and / or top guides 7, are placed in such a wagon 27. The units for rotating containers 3 on their vertical axis are also advantageously placed on the wagon 27.
    [0048] It is for particular advantage that linear units 26 operate according to the principle of an electromagnetic linear unit, such that each transport car 27 can be driven at least in sections in the circulation region of linear unit 26, regardless of other wagons 26.
    [0049] The fixed position part of the linear unit 26 forms a guide for the mobile transport wagon, with a plurality of magnet poles with individually winding associated windings, being provided one after the other in the direction of movement or direction of transport of the wagons, as well as permanent magnets that are provided on or in the transport wagon 27. Such a linear unit is offered on the market under the brand name "PackTrak", for example, by Siemens AG.
    [0050] Figure [s / c] shows such an arrangement comprising two electromagnetic linear units 26.1 and 26.2 for the single container row (the top in Figure 8) and linear unit 26.3 and 26.4 for the bottom container row in Figure 8 Similarly to the aforementioned examples, the two container rows enter two rows and are received by linear circulation units 26.1 and 26.3 or their wagons 27. An entry or transfer element 29 that must also be provided as required is indicated as a circle . Certainly, the container feed can also be arranged in the direction of transport A in such a way that they enter aligned with the straight line or tangent to the curve of the linear unit 26.
    [0051] The only wagons shown schematically 27 carry containers 3. Detection of the position and angle of rotation, the alignment and manipulation of containers 3 are carried out by analogy with the examples and modalities cited, in particular with Figures 1 to 7.
    [0052] Reference characteristics 27a and 28a are used to identify wagons that are returning in order to collect an additional container 3 or to act on them. It is for this reason that the units for the rotating movement of the containers 3, as well as the stations and handling units described above are also not depicted or described, as an analog setting and positioning must be selected.
    [0053] The particularity of the solution shown here is that the posterior linear units 26.2 and 26.4 or their wagons 28 (only three are shown schematically) can be made in such a way that containers 3 in the entrance region (transition from example 26.1 to 26.2) , the containers are still kept at a distance in order to avoid premature approach to each other and avoid unwanted sticking. The desired container groups (here, for example, 6 containers of two, each of the rows of three containers) are then formed in the region of the straight line that represents a partitioning and / or compression section 22, in which 3 containers or groups partial containers are accelerated or decelerated in relation to each other more appropriately.
    [0054] For example, two adjacent containers can first come into contact at their adhesive points perpendicular to the direction of transport (if necessary, after previous verification and alignment of the adhesive and glue points), and these then connected container subgroups will be accelerated or decelerated appropriately in order to achieve the desired compression and pressure with container subgroups that are adjacent in the direction of transport. Containers are ideally supported so that they cannot rotate until adequate curing and / or drying is ensured.
    [0055] The groups of packages or containers then formed can, finally, be released to a linear conveyor 15.
    [0056] In the example shown in Figures 8 and 9, it is only in the region of the linear unit 26.1 or 26.3 that the container is transported by the wagon 27 in a rotating manner. After transferring or driving to the coupling region of the posterior linear units 26.2 and 26.4, containers 3 are, ideally, only supported in an anti-rotational manner because rotation of containers 3 on the vertical axis is now neither necessary nor desired, with the angular position of the adhesive and known glue points. As an advantage, here is a container support grip guide 3 or a sliding transport on a suitable base surface, ideally a metal substrate.
    [0057] In an improved mode of linear unit 26 or its transport wagon 28, gripping and holding means which containers 3 are fixed, can be moved and carried perpendicular to the main transport direction A. This improves the adherence of adjacent containers 3, since any rotational movement is then avoided. The unit can also be composed in such a way that only the primary star, according to the example in Figures 1 to 5, or only the output star is configured in the aforementioned way as a linear conveyor, in particular an electromagnetic driven linear conveyor with independently controllable and steerable wagons.
