Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vereinzelungs-Vorrichtung für als Paket vorliegende Verpackungs-Beutel, die anschließend an eine Öffnung einen Haltestreifen aufweisen.The invention relates to a separating device for a package Packing bags, which are attached to a holding strip exhibit.

Derartige Verpackungs-Beutel werden im Paket von in der Regel mehreren hundert Stück angeliefert. Sie werden vereinzelt und geöffnet und gefüllt. Anschließend werden sie unterhalb der Öffnung verschweißt und der überstehende Bereich abgeschnitten. Das Vereinzeln vor einer in der Regel vollautomatisch arbeitenden Befüllungs- und Verschließmaschine ist schwierig, da die in der Regel aus sehr dünner Kunststoff-Folie bestehenden Beutel im Paket sehr stark aneinander haften.Such packaging bags are usually in a package of several delivered a hundred pieces. They are separated and opened and filled. Then they are welded below the opening and the protruding one Clipped area. The separation before one usually Fully automatic filling and closing machine difficult because the usually made of very thin plastic film Stick the bags in the package together very strongly.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Die Saugplatte führt hinausgehend über ihre horizontale Bewegung von der Förder-Einrichtung zur Halte-Einrichtung mit dem Paket von Verpackungs-Beuteln und zurück zur Förder-Einrichtung am Paket eine vertikale, nach oben gerichtete Bewegung durch, mittels der der an der Saugplatte anhaftende Verpackungs-Beutel gegenüber dem nächsten noch im Paket befindlichen Verpackungs-Beutel verschoben und damit von ihm getrennt wird.This object is achieved by the features of the claim 1 solved. The suction plate extends beyond its horizontal movement from the conveyor device to the holding device with the package of Packing bags and back to the conveyor on the package one vertical, upward movement by means of which the on the Suction plate-attached packaging bags compared to the next one Package bag in the package moved and thus by him is separated.

Die Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte und zum Teil erfinderische Weiterbildungen wieder.The subclaims give advantageous and partly inventive further developments again.

Weitere Merkmale, Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispieles anhand der Zeichnung.Further features, advantages and details of the invention emerge from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawing.

Sie ist mittels zweier im Abstand voneinander angeordneter, als pneumatisch beaufschlagbare Kolben-Zylinder-Antriebe ausgebildete, linear arbeitende Vertikal-Antriebe 20 in der Vertikalen, also quer zur Horizontal-Führung, verschiebbar.The removal device 15 has a suction plate 16 which overlaps extends at least a substantial part of the width of the holding device 11. This suction plate 16 is on a parallel to the support rods 13th arranged, linear-acting horizontal guide 17 towards Holding device 11 and slidably mounted and guided away from this. It is characterized by a linearly acting pneumatic valve Piston-cylinder drive trained horizontal drive. At the end of the horizontal guide facing the holding device 11 17, the suction plate 16 is attached via a vertical guide 19. It is arranged at a distance from one another by means of two Pneumatically actuated piston-cylinder drives, linear working vertical drives 20 in the vertical, that is to say transversely to the horizontal guide, slidable.

Die Saugplatte 16 ist in einzelne, unabhängig voneinander betätigbare Saugabschnitte 21 unterteilt, die jeweils unabhängig voneinander über elastische Unterdruck-Leitungen 22 von einer im Einzelnen nicht dargestellten Teilvakuum-Quelle über eine entsprechende Steuer-Einrichtung 23 mit Teilvakuum beaufschlagt werden.The suction plate 16 is in individual, independently operable Suction sections 21 divided, each independently of one another via elastic Vacuum lines 22 from one not shown in detail Partial vacuum source with a corresponding control device 23 Partial vacuum can be applied.

Die Vorrichtung ist weiterhin mit einer Förder-Kette 24 versehen, die horizontal und quer zur Bewegungsrichtung 25 der Horizontal-Führung 17 endlos umlaufend ausgebildet ist. Diese Förder-Kette 24 weist in ihrer Förderrichtung 26 voneinander beabstandete Greifelemente 27 auf. Oberhalb der Kette 24 ist am Gestell 10 ein kammartig ausgebildetes Einschubelement 28 um eine parallel zur Förderrichtung 26 verlaufende Schwenkachse 29 schwenkbar angebracht und mittels eines Schwenk-Antriebes 30 antreibbar. Das Einschubelement 28 weist an seiner Unterseite Ausnehmungen 31 auf, so daß Einschub-Stege 32 gebildet werden, die jeweils zwischen zwei benachbarte Greifelemente 27 gelangen können, während jeweils eine Ausnehmung 31 ein Greifelement 27 aufnimmt.The device is further provided with a conveyor chain 24 which is horizontal and transverse to the direction of movement 25 of the horizontal guide 17th is endlessly formed. This conveyor chain 24 points in its conveying direction 26 gripping elements 27 spaced apart from one another. Above the chain 24 is a comb-like insertion element on the frame 10 28 about a pivot axis running parallel to the conveying direction 26 29 pivotally mounted and driven by a pivot drive 30. The insertion element 28 has recesses on its underside 31 on, so that insertion webs 32 are formed, each between two adjacent gripping elements 27 can reach while each a recess 31 receives a gripping element 27.

Die Förder-Kette 24 wird getaktet angetrieben. Die Greifelemente 27 werden vor dem Eintritt in die Entnahme-Einrichtung 15 geöffnet und dort geschlossen. Derartige Förder-Ketten 24 sind allgemein bekannt und handelsüblich.The conveyor chain 24 is driven clocked. The gripping elements 27 are opened before entering the removal device 15 and closed there. Such conveyor chains 24 are generally known and commercially available.

Die Arbeitsweise ist wie folgt:The mode of operation is as follows:

Die Saugplatte 16 befindet sich in ihrer Ausgangsstellung gemäß Fig. 3 unmittelbar unterhalb der Förder-Kette 24, in der der Horizontal-Antrieb 18 eingefahren und der Vertikal-Antrieb 20 mit der Saugplatte 16 hochgefahren ist. Das Einschubelement 28 befindet sich in seiner hochgeschwenkten Lage. Die Saugplatte 16 ist nicht mit Teilvakuum beaufschlagt. Der Horizontal-Antrieb 18 wird dann beaufschlagt, so daß die Saugplatte 16 in Bewegungsrichtung 25 zur Halte-Einrichtung 11 vorfährt, wie aus Fig. 4 und 5 hervorgeht. Vor dem Erreichen des Paketes 1 wird der Vertikal-Antrieb 20 entweder entlüftet, so daß die Saugplatte 16 entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 4 auf der Vertikal-Führung 19 nach unten sinkt. In gleicher Weise kann diese Abwärtsbewegung naturgemäß auch durch entsprechende Beaufschlagung des Vertikal-Antriebes 20 erreicht werden. Der Horizontal-Antrieb 18 wird weiter beaufschlagt, so daß die Saugplatte 16 bis zum nächsten Verpackungs-Beutel 2 des Paketes 1 transportiert wird. Die zum Halten des Beutels 2 erforderlichen Saugabschnitte 21 werden mit Teilvakuum beaufschlagt, so daß der der Saugplatte 16 nächsthängende Beutel 2 an die Saugplatte 16 angesaugt wird. Nunmehr wird der Vertikal-Antrieb 20 derartig beaufschlagt, daß die Saugplatte 16 an der Vertikal-Führung 19 nach oben verschoben wird und hierbei den angesaugten Beutel 2 gegenüber dem Paket 1 nach oben verschiebt, wodurch der Beutel 2 von dem nächstliegenden Beutel 2 gelöst wird. Anschließend erfolgt eine Umsteuerung des Horizontal-Antriebes 18, so daß die Saugplatte 16 mit einem Beutel 2 in die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Position zurückverfahren wird. Der Haltestreifen 8 des Beutels 2 steht hierbei nach oben über die Saugplatte 16 vor. Die getaktet angetriebene Förder-Kette 24 steht beim Eintreffen der Saugplatte 16 in der Entnahme-Einrichtung 15, wobei die Greifelemente 27 geöffnet sind. Nunmehr wird das Einschubelement 28 durch entsprechende Beaufschlagung des Schwenk-Antriebes 30 verschwenkt, so daß die Einschub-Stege 32 entsprechend der zeichnerischen Darstellung in Fig. 6 den Haltestreifen 8 in die geöffneten Greifelemente 27 schieben. Anschließend werden diese entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 7 geschlossen und halten nunmehr den Verpackungs-Beutel 2 an seinem Haltestreifen 8. Das Einschubelement 28 wird durch entsprechende Beaufschlagung des Antriebes 30 von der Förder-Kette 24 abgeschwenkt. Das Teilvakuum wird von der Saugplatte 16 abgeschaltet; die Förder-Kette wird um einen Arbeitsschritt in Förderrichtung 26 weitertransportiert. Es kann ein neuer Entnahmevorgang eingeleitet werden.The suction plate 16 is in its initial position according to FIG. 3 immediately below the conveyor chain 24 in which the horizontal drive 18th retracted and the vertical drive 20 raised with the suction plate 16 is. The insertion element 28 is in its swiveled up position Location. The suction plate 16 is not subjected to partial vacuum. The horizontal drive 18 is then applied so that the suction plate 16 in the direction of movement 25 moves up to the holding device 11, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 emerges. Before reaching package 1, the vertical drive 20 either vented so that the suction plate 16 as shown 4 on the vertical guide 19 sinks down. In the same Of course, this downward movement can also be done by appropriate Actuation of the vertical drive 20 can be achieved. The horizontal drive 18 is further acted on, so that the suction plate 16 to next packaging bag 2 of package 1 is transported. The for Holding the bag 2 required suction sections 21 are with partial vacuum acted upon so that the bag 2 hanging next to the suction plate 16 is sucked onto the suction plate 16. Now the vertical drive 20 acted upon such that the suction plate 16 on the vertical guide 19th is moved upward and opposite the suctioned bag 2 the package 1 moves up, whereby the bag 2 of the closest bag 2 is released. Then there is a reversal of the horizontal drive 18 so that the suction plate 16 with a Bag 2 is moved back into the position shown in FIG. 3. The The holding strip 8 of the bag 2 stands up over the suction plate 16 in front. The clocked driven conveyor chain 24 is on arrival Suction plate 16 in the removal device 15, the gripping elements 27 are open. Now the insert element 28 is replaced by appropriate Actuation of the swivel drive 30 pivots, so that the insertion webs 32 corresponding to the drawing in Fig. 6 Push the holding strip 8 into the open gripping elements 27. Subsequently these are closed and held as shown in Fig. 7 now the packaging bag 2 on its holding strip 8. The insertion element 28 is activated by a corresponding action on the drive 30 pivoted away from the conveyor chain 24. The partial vacuum is from the Suction plate 16 switched off; the conveyor chain is one step transported in the conveying direction 26. There may be a new removal process be initiated.
