Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of automatic machines for the packaging and quality control of tubular articles and subsequent palletisation of the containers.
  • Such novel device assembles a plurality of electromechanical devices having an automated process which makes the packaging of tubes in the boxes (number of pieces per row, quantity of rows, etc.) efficient according to the size of the tube to be packaged and then provides for palletising step.
  • tubular containers, or tubes must be directed, one by one and with a predetermined orientation, in a straight or carousel conveyor line, suitable for transferring them to a filling station, in which suitable dispensing members fill them with the articles. This is true in the step of filling the tubes, but further stations for controlling possible labelling of the tubes as well as the sealing of the tubes and ejection of any discarded material are provided for "upstream" of the filling station. At the moment there lacks a completely automated process, capable of supplying empty tubes well packed in the boxes which in turn are well positioned on the pallet.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a packaging machine which is faster than known solutions by combining the palletising step thereof.
  • WO2013018074A1 Apparatus and method for batching, packing and palletizing a granular product.
  • WO2013018074A1 Apparatus and method for batching, packing and palletizing a granular product.
  • WO2013018074A1 Apparatus and method for batching, packing and palletizing a granular product.
  • it deals with loose and granular products which are not in any way part of the inherent problems of aluminium tubes.
  • Other patents reveal numerous innovations in the palletising industry and others of the innovative packaging method.
  • there is no inventiveness and novelty in such product sector as pertains to the implementation of different automated actions enclosed in a single space which are listed in detail in the following description.
  • the technical solution obtained from the invention consists in providing a completely automated packaging, product control and palletising island 200, where in all the steps such device also provides for easy access (after release of the safety guard) from every point in all the process steps.
  • the system Being managed by a PLC, the system is capable of generating and storing a detailed report:
  • the hardware part of the system containing a plurality of assembled devices is designed for a totally automatic format change in order to provide - as a technical advantage - the reduction of manual work by the operator in the vision of the supply chain regarding the manufacture of tubes and their packaging. In this sense, there is easy access to all the control panels provided with appropriate buttons necessary for operation in the control areas.
  • the assembly of the plurality of electromechanical devices also comprises a light tower arranged in an area visible from every point of the layout of the assembled system, by means of further light devices positioned on the main control panel.
  • a light tower arranged in an area visible from every point of the layout of the assembled system, by means of further light devices positioned on the main control panel.
  • safety devices there are safety devices, fixed protections and guards for access protected by interlocked safety systems or possible barriers in the access areas of the operator.
  • there are various emergency buttons along the perimeter of the system and the anthropomorphic palletiser is automatically deactivated in case of presence not foreseen in the work area.
  • Such system comprises a plurality of assembled devices capable of forming the box and the lid, inserting the tubes, depositing the box perfectly ready in an area defined for the subsequent step, i.e. palletising with a supply frequency of two tubes every second approximately.
  • the multifunction system and the relative software, developed for the many packaging applications, contain all the key functions for a simple and fast programming, for all the operations carried out directly in the manufacturing process.
  • This aspect of seeking more efficient and effective solutions in the tube packaging step represents a technological innovation because it avoids the operator carrying out routine and repetitive operations, i.e. the preparation and control of packagings, the insertion of tubes into prepared boxes and lastly the insertion of packagings, effectively and efficiently positioned on pallets.
  • reference numeral 100 is a plan view of a plurality of electromechanical and electronic devices assembled to ensure a sequential series process, comprising:
  • the present invention reveals a system managed by a PLC that provides for choosing the batch to be produced, in which all the information of processes regarding, as final objective, the automated insertion of the tubes in the appropriate boxes and subsequent palletisation. Furthermore, the configuration of the device allows to limit the overall dimensions thereof and to have, at the same time, a high operating speed, certainly capable of meeting the productivity needs of modern industry 4.0 machines. A further object of the present invention is to provide a packaging machine which is more versatile with respect to known solutions or, in particular, which allows to easily change another box size and/or tube size.
  • Such plurality of electromechanical devices process tubes having a diameter of 40 mm, although such size can be varied, and they are designed to work in line with the production machines upstream and downstream of such packaging and palletising island.
  • the maximum size of the boxes to be packaged has the following characteristics: 600 mm x 380 mm x 140 mm, also in this case such volume is variable according to the size of the tubes to be packaged and palletised.
  • electromechanical devices assembled in a single production process have an acoustic emission below 80 dBA as well as a pneumatic supply of 6 bar and a 400 V50 Htz, three-phase alternating plus neutral and earth-connected electric power supply.
  • Such plurality of electromechanical and electrical devices allows to reach, as mentioned above, a supply frequency of approximately two tubes per second.
  • a further detail lies in the fact such devices of the island are interconnected and, through the continuous exchange of signals, they are made autonomous with each other.
