Definitions
- a packaging machine and a method for packaging units in portions are described.
- the present invention relates to a packaging machine for packaging batches of individual components in a packaging, said packaging machine comprising a number of transfer devices, each of which having an inlet intende d for receiving a batch of individual components from a dispenser, and an outlet arranged for conveying the batc h to a packaging positioned at the outlet.
- the invention further relates to a method of packaging batches of individual components in a packaging, wherein a batch of components is conveyed through an inlet in a transfer device, said inlet being intended for receiving a batch of individual components from a batch dispenser, whereupon the components are conveyed through the transfer device and out through an outlet arranged for transferring the batch to a packaging positioned at the outlet.
- Packaging machines of the type described above are known. These prior art packaging machines are used i.a. for packaging batches of nails or screws in a packaging.
- the batches arrive at the packaging machine from several separate containers which cooperate with e.g. industrial weighing or measuring equipment.
- This weighing or measuring equipment is arranged for very quick batch dispensing of a correctly weighed out or measured batch of individual components e.g. by opening of a hatch in the container bottom.
- the entire batch of individual components is subsequently transferred all at once via the transfer devices of the packaging machine to the packaging which is advanced on a conveyor below the outlet of the transfer devices.
- the packaging machine according to the invention is characterised in that the packaging machine comprises means for conveying each of the transfer devices synchronously with the packagings past a filling station where the components are fed to the transfer device from the dispenser and along a travel path where the components are transferred from the transfer device to the packaging.
- a packaging machine is achieved where the transfer devices are advanced synchronously with the packaging to be filled with components. Thus, it is not necessary to stop the conveyor when the packagings are to be filled.
- a packaging machine is provided where the packagings are advanced evenly on the conveyor.
- a batch of individual components arrive all at once at the packaging machine from several separate containers which may cooperate with e.g. industrial weighing or measuring equipment.
- the entire batch is subsequently conveyed down through the inlet of the transfer device, through the transfer device, out through the outlet of the transfer device and down into the packagings which are located at the outlet of the transfer devices and advanced on a conveyor.
- the transfer devices are advanced synchronously with the packagings thereby causing the packagings to be at the outlet of the transfer devices at all times during the transfer operation.
- the transfer devices are so constructed that the components of a batch introduced into the respective inlets of the transfer devices are separated and are, individually or a few at a time, transferred to the packaging during the outlet along at least a portion of said travel path.
- the individual components are gently transferred to the packagings thereby avoiding any damage to the packaging or the components.
- a chute is provided between the respective inlets and outlets of the transfer devices which is downwardly tapering towards the outlet.
- a very simple device is provided for separating the components of a batch.
- a magnetic field is provided along a portion of the travel path of the packaging and transversally to said travel path.
- the magnetic field is arranged for paralleling the components whereby they are packed in a more compact and uniform manner in the packagings.
- the magnetic field may be provided via a number of magnets arranged on both sides of the travel path of the packaging.
- a simple paralleling of the components is provided.
- the individual magnets may be displaced downwards relative to the surface of the travel path of the packagings and arranged next to each other seen in the direction of the packagings' travel path.
- a more compact packaging of the components is achieved thereby allowing the dimensions of the packagings to be reduced compared to the situation where the magnets are not displaced.
- the travel path of the packaging may advantageously be in the shape of a circular arc.
- a travel path is obtained where the distance to the centre of the circular arc is constant which may facilitate the advancing of the transfer devices.
- the packaging machine's means for conveying the transfer devices may advantageously consist of a pivotable carrousel to the periphery of which the transfer devices are secured.
- the transfer devices may readily and easily be advanced continuously simply by rotating the carrousel. Consequently the de- and accelerations are no longer necessary.
- outlets of the transfer devices in such a manner that their outlet area is smaller than the area of the packaging to be advanced along the travel path, the particular advantage is obtained that all of the components will always fall into the packaging.
- the outlets of the transfer devices are arranged for displacing the packaging conveyed along this travel path.
- the components of a batch which is introduced into the inlets of the transfer devices are separated, and one by one or a few at a time it/they are transferred to the packaging through the outlet along at least a portion of said travel path.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an advantageous embodiment of a packaging machine according to the invention.
- Figure 1 illustrates a packaging machine 1 for packaging batches of individual components 2 in a packaging 3.
- the packaging machine is arranged especially for packaging nails in cardboard packagings.
- the packaging machine 1 comprises a centrally arranged carrousel 4 from which four radial arms 5 protrude outwardly. To each arm 5 a transfer device 6 is secured.
- the packaging 3 is conveyed along a travel path 13, which has, in the area around the packaging machine 1, the shape of a circular arc which corresponds substantially to the diameter of the carrousel 4.
- a conveyor 16,17 is arranged to deliver and remove, respectively, the packagings 3 to and from the packaging machine 1.
- Each transfer device 6 consists of an inlet 7, a chute 8 and an outlet 9. The inlet 7 is arranged for receiving a batch of individual components 2 from a not shown batch dispenser and for conveying the batch to the chute 8.
- the components 2 are separated as they are spread across a larger area, and since the chute tapers downwardly in a direction towards the outlet 9 the components are consequently conveyed one by one or a few at a time through the outlet 9 arranged for transferring the components 2 to a packaging 3 located at the outlet 9.
- the transfer device outlets 9 have an area which is smaller than the opening in the packaging 3 advanced along the travel path 13.
- the particular advantage is obtained that all the components 2 will fall into the packaging 3.
- the carrousel 4 of the packaging machine is rotatable about a central axis 10 whereby the transfer devices 6 may be caused to rotate about the central axis 10 via a not shown motor that operates the carrousel 4, and consequently they follow a circular path.
- a filling station 11 is also provided which is located at a level above the inlets 7 of the transfer devices.
- the filling station 11 is so arranged that its outlet is positioned above the inlets 7 of the transfer devices when the transfer devices 6 are rotated past the filling station.
- the filling station 11 is a weighing machine arranged for weighing out a specific amount of nails.
- the carrousel 4 is first pivoted past the filling station 11 where components 2 are introduced into the transfer device 6 through the inlet 7. Then the further pivoting of the carrousel 4 is synchronised with the packagings 3 along at least a portion of the travel path 13 to be traversed by the packagings. At the same time the components 2 are transferred from the transfer device 6 to the packaging 3.
- magnets 12 are also provided on each side of the travel path 13.
- the magnets 12 are so arranged that they provide a magnetic field transversally to the travel path 13.
- the magnetic field is arranged for paralleling the components 2.
- the magnets 12 are mutually displaced in a downward direction relative to the surface of the travel path 13 of the packagings 3 seen in the travel direction of the packagings 3. This displacement ensures that the components 2 are packed compactly whereby the packaging 3 dimensions may be reduced compared to the situation where the magnets 12 are not displaced.
- the ends of the circular-arc travel path of the packagings 14,15 are downwardly displaced relative to that portion of the travel path 13 where the components 2 are transferred to the packagings 3.
- the distance between the outlet 9 of the transfer device and the travel path 13 is such that the outlet 9 extends downwards into the packaging 3 at that portion of the travel path 13 where the components 2 are transferred to the packagings 3.
- the outlet 9 will push the packagings 3 forwards whereby the need for a separate conveyor for the packagings 3 is eliminated.
- the present invention also relates to a method of packaging batches of individual components 2 in a packaging 3.
- a batch of components 2 are conveyed through an inlet 7 in a transfer device 6, said inlet 7 being arranged for receiving a batch of individual components 2 from a batch dispenser.
- the components 2 are subsequently conveyed through the transfer device 6 and out through an outlet 9 arranged for transferring the batch to a packaging 3 arranged at the outlet 9.
- the transfer devices 6 are advanced synchronously with the packagings 3 past a filling station 11 where the components 2 are introduced into the transfer device 6 from the batch dispenser and along a travel path 13 where the components 2 are transferred from the transfer device 6 to the packaging 3.
- the components 2 of a batch are separated, and separately or a few at a time they are transferred to the packaging 3 through the outlet 9 along at least a portion of said travel path 13.
- the transfer device 6 is an inclined chute 8 but the transfer device 6 may for instance also consist of a conveyor, a vibrator or other devices arranged for separating the components and transferring them individually or a few at a time to the packaging.
- the travel path of the packaging is a circular-arc path.
- the conveyance of the packaging may advantageously be linear.
- the transfer devices may be secured to e.g. a flexible belt conveyed around two rolls whereby the transfer devices are caused to follow, at least along a portion of their travel path, a substantially linear travel path corresponding to the travel path of the packaging.
- the rolls may be arranged vertically as well as horizontally.
