    "Sleeve installation on products such as bottles"
    Field of the invention
    The present invention relates to a plant for laying sleeves on products such as bottles, in which the products scroll Tun one behind the other along a scroll line, the sleeve being pulled by transfer members over the product, from a supply of sleeves.
    The invention relates to the field of sleeving systems or sleeving machines corresponding to machines of medium range that is to say machines working with cycles between those small machines of 25 to 40 cycles per minute and those machines between 150 and 700 cycles per minute.
    A sleeving machine is indeed an element of a production line, for example a bottling line whose parameters and in particular the rates are defined. Nowadays, manufacturers produce sleeving machines whose characteristics are adapted to the various categories of production lines, according to the flow rate of these chains.
    This results in a multiplicity of machines because current machines have fixed characteristics that do not allow adaptation to production lines with different or very different rates.
    Among the machines of the middle category currently existing, one includes an entry screw for timing the products to be sleeved and a set of drawers that take the sleeves one by one to put on the product that passes to the sleeve location. The transformation of this machine to adapt to products of different shapes is relatively complicated because of the feed screw. In addition the efficiency of the machine can not be changed.
    Purpose of the invention
    The object of the present invention is to develop a mid-range but high-performance, but high-efficiency, machine-fitting facility or device that can be easily adapted to handle products of very different shapes.
    DESCRIPTION AND ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION To this end, the invention relates to a fitting installation of sleeves of the type defined above characterized in that it comprises i - a supply of sleeves, unique from a sheath, and two pairs of transfer members each formed of two transfer members installed on either side of the scroll line of the products and operating alternately, * each transfer member being carried by a transport means to perform, alternately with the transfer member of the other pair, an active stroke along the product side at the sleeve location for taking a sleeve and placing it on the product while the transport means of the transfer member the other pair moves the latter on a return stroke, released from the active race, a means for synchronizing the products and means of transport of the transfer members.
    Thanks to the two pairs of transfer members working alternately, this installation allows to operate at a double rate of an identical machine having only one pair of transfer members, without the dual pair of transfer members complicates the installation or requires its transformation, because the supply of sleeves is made from a single sheath for the two pairs of transfer members. The machine can also be transformed very simply to adapt to a new form of product.
    For this it is sufficient to replace the laying equipment composed by the two pairs of transfer members with their means of transport, control and synchronization.
    The simplicity of the means implemented facilitates not only the rapid adaptation to different forms of products but also the maintenance thanks to the robustness of the components, their reduced number and their low inertia.
    In a particularly advantageous manner the means of synchronization of the products with respect to the transfer members is constituted by an input star which positions the products upstream of the sleeve location.
    This distribution star is a particularly simple organ to perform and replace; it effectively positions each product in the scroll line upstream of the sleeve location. As the products are in contact with each other, on the line of scrolling, their positioning is accurate and above all very simple to achieve. The transformation of the installation according to other products to be sleeve is also done simply at the level of the distribution star by the replacement thereof by a star of different shape that is to say whose cells are adapted to the contours of new products.
    According to a particularly advantageous characteristic, the means for transporting a transfer member comprises: a carriage guided on a fixed rail following a raising and lowering movement carrying the transfer member by a pivoting arm between a position to perform its race. active and its return stroke by a control rail receiving a roller carried by the transfer member, this rail being moved between an advanced position and a retracted position, * the advanced position corresponding to the active stroke of the transfer member while the carriage descends along the side of the product to be sleeved, the retracted position corresponding to the return stroke of the transfer member during the ascent of the carriage towards the beginning of the next active stroke of the transfer member, means for moving the control rail and - driving means for moving the carriage along its rail.
    These extremely simple means make it possible to control the different movements of the transfer members as well as the taking of a sleeve and the release of the sleeve at the end of the laying thereof on the product and the return of the transfer members at the beginning of the race. active.
    Thus, thanks to the release movement of each transfer member having executed its active stroke to return to the beginning of the active race by following a clear path bypassing the path followed by the other transfer member which executes during this time its active race, the Return of the transfer organs at the beginning of their active race is done in hidden time. The return movement of each transfer member in the disengaged position can be achieved simply by mounting cantilever of the transfer member on its carriage and guiding the carriage on one side only of the installation location is the upstream side is the downstream side (in synchronism with the guidance of the other transfer member of the same pair, on the other side of the scroll line).
    According to another advantageous characteristic, the movement of the products through the sleeve location is continuous and the rails of the carriages are inclined with respect to the line of travel as a function of the active travel to be performed during the displacement of the product to be sleeved so that the difference in the horizontal displacement speeds of the pair of transfer members on their active stroke and that of the product to be sleeved is zero. With this inclination, the installation can operate continuously which is a particularly flexible solution for both the machine and products that follow a uniform movement without braking, stopping and re-acceleration as would be the case for an installation working discontinuously, that is to say with stopping the product at the sleeve location.
    According to another advantageous characteristic, the drive means of a carriage is constituted by a DC motor without commutator driving a belt connected to a carriage.
    According to another feature, the means for moving the control rail is constituted by a rotary cam cooperating with a roller carried by the control rail.
    The control of the operation of the transfer members is simplified to the extreme since each transfer member is composed of a stretcher and a clamp for clamping the sleeve against the stretcher during the active sleeve race, the control rail of the the transfer member is split for the stretcher and forceps which perform largely parallel movements for the active stroke but approaching each other at the beginning of the stroke to pinch the sleeve and separating at the end of the race to release the sleeve.
    The assembly formed by the rails of the carriages and the control rails is mounted on the frame of the installation. This makes it possible to prepare, in advance and during operation of the installation, replacement equipment, for example for maintenance or else equipment for another series of products. The downtime of the installation is then reduced to a strict minimum, that necessary for the implementation of this assembly or module whose main settings, if not all settings, are already performed outside the installation; disassembly of the assembly to be replaced is just as global and fast.
    Since the movement of the stretcher and the pliers are linked, it is advantageous for the rotary cam to have two cam paths, one for controlling the movement of the stretcher control rail and the other for the rail. control of the clamp.
    In addition, the two pairs of transfer members being synchronized and operating in phase opposition, a very simple solution provides that the rotary cam controls the movement of the two control rails of the two transfer members on the same side of the line. scrolling.
    According to another advantageous characteristic, the conveyor is of adjustable width.

    Description of an embodiment of the invention
    According to FIGS. 1 and 2, the invention relates to a fitting installation for sleeves on products P such as bottle cans, containers, flasks or boxes. The products shown here are formed of a parallelepiped body of substantially rectangular section. In practice, the products P arrive contiguous to each other.
    These products P scroll standing one behind the other along a line DF along the axis xx, transported by an endless conveyor 2 connecting the input E to the output S. They are synchronized by a star 3 whose contour is provided with cells 31 corresponding to the shape of the respective side of the product P, so as to take only one product at a time by interposing the ends or points 32 of the cells 31 in the gap between the edges of two successive products P. The products are thus accurately positioned and synchronized when they pass to the sleeve location E located slightly downstream of the distribution star 3. This precise positioning is necessary because upstream the products P are transported randomly by the conveyor belt 21 of the conveyor 2 driven by a geared motor 22.
    The products P can be of very variable dimensions, it is necessary in some cases for the operation of the installation, as will appear later, that the conveyor is not wider than the products to be sleeved at the equipment of laying of sleeves. For this reason and according to the application for which the installation is intended, if it is intended for a single product, the conveyor will preferably be unique between the inlet and the outlet of the installation.
    In the case of an installation intended to treat products of different size, it is interesting to replace the single conveyor by an inlet conveyor of maximum width, an intermediate conveyor at the level of the sleeve equipment having an adjustable width following processed products and output a maximum width conveyor. This solution according to the invention makes it possible to transport the products in the most stable manner, that is to say by offering the products as wide support as possible even and especially during the sleeve operation.
    The sleeve fitting equipment is formed of sleeve feed equipment and sleeve fitting equipment.
    The sleeve feed equipment comprises a pre-printed sheath coil 4 with printing of the future sleeves. This coil 4 is carried by an axis 41 driven by a geared motor 42 regulating the flow of the sheath G; it arrives above the sleeve location E. The G-shaped sleeve unwound from the spool 4 passes on a shaper 5 which opens the sleeve G and allows to cut a sleeve MA.
    The laying equipment is generally symmetrical with respect to the median plane MM of the installation or more particularly with respect to the vertical plane passing through the axis xx, that is to say the line of movement DF of the products P to location E of the sleeves. Thus the equipment is formed of two sets of laying means, symmetrical with respect to this median plane and operating in a fully synchronized manner.
    These assemblies are mainly two pairs of transfer members 6, 7 each formed by a transfer member 61, 71 located on each side of the DF line of the products P and adjacent thereto to intervene only laterally. compared to products and not between two successive products P.
    The transfer members 61, 71 are driven by transport means controlled by a control and synchronization means to work alternately, one of the pair performing its active race of laying the sleeve while the other is running its course. return.
    During the active race, a sleeve MA is taken each time by the two transfer members 61, 71 of a pair 6, 7 which pinch and open by stretching it to go down and pass over the product to Gland. The control of the advance of the sheath for taking the sleeves MA is provided step by step by the transfer members 61, 71 which pull on the sheath G. The movement of the sheath G, advanced by the geared motor 42, is adjusted on the average sampling speed to compensate for the discontinuous take one by one, sleeves, thanks to a supply of length of sheath upstream of the shaper 5. As the transfer members 61, 71 which take the sleeves and place them on each product P are located on the sides of the line DF of the products, only the tensioned sleeve MA passes in the interval between two products P positioned and transported by the conveyor by the star 3 upstream and which substantially touch, thanks to the very thin thickness of the sleeve.
    The installation also comprises an electrical cabinet 8 with controls 81 whose description will not be detailed. The electrical equipment controls and regulates the operation of the various motors or geared motors for driving the conveyor 2, the distribution star 3, the unwinding of the coil 4 of the sheath G and the movement of the transfer members. 61, 71 using the signals provided by unrepresented sensors including position sensors and end of stroke.
    The sleeve installation equipment formed of the two symmetrical assemblies and located on either side of the product line DF of the products is schematically represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described more explicitly with the help of the FIGS. 3-8.
    Figures 3 and 4 are limited to the simplified representation of the main means of the invention for the installation of a sleeve and Figures 5A-9 show the operation of the installation.
    Due to the symmetry of structure and operation of the laying equipment overlapping the scroll line of the products and consists of two sets located on either side of this line the description will be limited to one of these sets. It comprises two transfer members 61, 71 belonging to one of the two pairs 6, 7 of transfer members.
    A transfer member, for example the member 61, is constituted (see Figures 3 and 10) by a stretcher 61-1 which is a spoon-shaped piece and a clamp 61-2. The stretcher is inserted inside the sleeve and the clip is applied externally against the sleeve to lock it on the stretcher. Each transfer member 61,71 is carried by a carriage 9, 10 sliding on a rail 11,12 formed of two columns 11-1 or 12-1.
    The transfer member 61, 71 is substantially horizontal and its movement relative to the product is a vertical relative movement during the introduction of the sleeve, but the rail is inclined to compensate for the horizontal movement of the product during sleeving. Indeed, as the installation operates continuously, the product is not stopped during the installation of the sleeve but scrolls at a constant speed. Under these conditions, the inclination of the downward path of the carriage 9, 10, with its rail 11, 12, is such that this downward path corresponds in horizontal projection to the distance traveled by a product during a sleeving operation, between the arrival of the transfer member 61, 71 carrying the sleeve MA over the product P and the beginning of the engagement of the sleeve over the product until the moment when the transfer member 61, 71 escapes from the muff. In other words, the inclination of the descent path of the transfer member 61, 71 compensates for the forward movement of the product P so that the horizontal speed difference between the transfer member and the product is zero. during the laying of the sleeve. This descent path corresponds to the active travel of the transfer member.
    The inclination of the rail 11, 12 is adjustable depending on the characteristics of the product to be sleeved, that is to say mainly of its height.
    The top view of FIG. 4 shows the two pairs 6, 7 of transfer members 61, 71 each comprising a transfer member 61, 71 on the right and a member on the left of the scroll path DF of the products. The two transfer members 61 or 71 of the same pair 6 or 7 operate in synchronism as well as the two pairs 6, 7 themselves. They both engage at the same time in the sleeve to pinch and pull over the product to then clear, come to the retracted position and then go up the race back to return to the beginning of the active race.
    For the return movement, the transfer members 61 or 71 of this pair 6 or 7 deviate sufficiently on the side in the transverse direction relative to the direction of movement DF to leave, relative to the product P, space for the passage each time of the other transfer member 61 or 71 of the other pair 6 or 7 on its active race of establishment of a sleeve on the next product.
    The operation of the installation and the movement of a transfer member 61, 71 are explained by the diagrams of FIGS. 5A-6B seen in the direction of movement of the products P, that is to say the direction perpendicular to the the direction of FIG. 3 for FIGS. 5A, 6A and the direction of FIG. 4 for FIGS. 5B, 6B; the presentation and description is limited to a transfer member of a single pair in different stages of operation.
    FIG. 5A shows the arrival of the sheath G on the conforma-tor 5 which opens it and allows the stirrup 61-1 of the transfer member 6 to pass inside the opening of the sheath G. The transfer member 61 in the up position is at the beginning of its active race. It has penetrated by its stretcher 61-1 in the sheath portion forming the sleeve MA which will be pinched by the clamp 61-2.
    Then, the sleeve MA is cut from the sheath G along the dotted line TT. The transfer member 61 carried by an arm 61-3 connected to the horizontal axis 61-4 of the carriage slightly tilts in the direction of clockwise (arrow A) to stretch the sleeve MA transversely. Then, the transfer member 61 carrying the sleeve descends along the side of the product to the low position (arrow B). This low position corresponds to the end of the laying of the sleeve MA since the stirrup 61-1 has just disengaged from the sleeve.
    The top view of Figure 5B shows how the stirrup 61-1 follows the contour of the product P and threads the sleeve on the product.
    After the clearance of the stretcher 61-1 with respect to the sleeve placed, at the end of the active stroke shown in FIG. 5A, the transfer member 61 which, at the end of the fitting stroke, had approached the product P by swinging in the opposite direction of the arrow A to release the sleeve MA, now returns to the outside; it tilts in the direction of the arrow C in a relatively large manner, to deviate from the product P by a distance substantially corresponding to the thickness of a transfer member. Then, the transfer member 61 cleared up (arrow D) to join the start of its new active race (Figure 6A) by its return stroke (arrow D).
    The top view of FIG. 6B shows the tilted position of the transfer member 61 and in dashed lines, its sleeve position. With this tilting (arrow C), the transfer member 61 can pass behind the other transfer member during fitting during its return stroke (arrows).
    It will be recalled that, on either side of the plane of symmetry MM of FIGS. 5A, 6A or 5B, 6B, there is a symmetrical transfer member of the same pair, operating in the same manner and in synchronism with it. this.
    The alternating operation of the two pairs of transfer members according to the invention is achievable in a simple manner by their cantilever mounting on a single rail.
    Figure 7, which is an enlargement of the sleeve location E in top view of Figure 4, shows the relative arrangement of the transfer members 61, 71 of the two pairs 6, 7. To distinguish them more easily, the one of the pairs 7, that in the active position, is represented by convention with hatching.
    The rails 11, 12 associated with the two pairs 6, 7 of transfer members 61,71 are carried by a frame 13, 14 in one or two parts (FIGS. 1 and 2) provided with drive means for controlling the movement of the transfer organs and their opening and closing. In this embodiment, each transfer member is connected to its carriage by a pivot allowing it to pass into an active position on the active path close to the corresponding side of the product to be manhosen and in an unobstructed position corresponding to the path of back, spread on the side of the product. This tilting is controlled by a cam according to a mechanism described with reference to FIG.
    The movement of the transfer members and the associated trolleys is done, with the inclination, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 10. The cantilevered mounting of the transfer members 61, 71 by their arm 61 3, 71-3 and their combination each to a carriage 9, 10 placed on one side allows the alternating operation (or in phase opposition) of the two pairs of transfer members.
    For the active race, the two transfer members 71 of this pair 7 (this numbering is conventional) are brought closer to the product P during sleeving while the two transfer members 61 of the other pair 6 are tilted outwards to go up along their return stroke beyond the path required for the passage of the transfer members 71 of the first pair 7.
    This FIG. 7 shows that the alternating movement of the pairs 6, 7 of transfer members is only possible thanks to the cantilever mounting of the transfer members 61, 71 on their carriage 9, 10 respectively. In this embodiment, the carriages 10 of a pair 7 are upstream of the installation location E and those 9 of the other pair 6, downstream, because this symmetrical arrangement is simple.
    But it would also be possible to shift the carriages of a pair, one upstream, the other downstream, crosswise X.
    This view from above also shows that the guide rails 11, 12 of the carriages 9, 10 are fixed (at their inclination, which is not shown). These rails are constituted here by two columns.
    For reasons of simplification of the presentation, neither FIG. 7 nor FIGS. 5A-6B show the means controlling the tilting of the transfer members on their active path or their return path.
    FIG. 8A shows various positions of a transfer member, for example the member 61, to explain a cycle of movement:
    After having penetrated into the sheath G, the stretcher 62-1 swings slightly outwards (in the direction of rotation of the clockwise) to stretch the sleeve MA and then pull it over the product P while leaving it retract, to the PE location provided for the sleeve. This PE location is materialized on this product P by a slightly recessed annular zone.
    During the positioning movement, the clamp 61-2 retains the lower edge of the sleeve against the stretcher 61-1.
    At the end of installation, the clamp releases the sleeve which allows the clamp to escape the sleeve by sliding and continuing its downward movement.
    Then, the transfer member 61 swings to the side in the direction of rotation of the clockwise to go on the return path D and up without meeting the transfer member 71 not shown of the other pair 7 who poses, meanwhile, his sleeve on the next product.
    At the end of the return stroke, the transfer member switches in the opposite direction, in the opposite direction of rotation of the clockwise to be able to climb inside the sheath G and take a new sleeve. Thus, each pair 6, 7 of transfer members poses, alternately with the other pair, a sleeve on a product.
    As already pointed out above and unlike the schematized paths in this drawing, the carriage 9 of the transfer member 61 travels the same path defined by its guide rail during its active stroke and its return stroke, the spacing of the two paths being drawn only to facilitate the description of the movement.
    This also appears in the top view of Figure 8B which shows that the carriages 9, 10 remain fixed in vertical projection (if we do not take into account the inclination of the rails in the direction of scrolling products) .
    FIG. 9 schematically shows the cycle of movement of a transfer member 61 by applying the same drawing convention as in FIG. 8A, whereas in fact the movement of the carriage 9 is made along the axis ZZ.
    The release tilting of the transfer member to the return position is represented by an angle α and the tilting before the penetration of the stretcher into the sheath is represented by the angle β.
    FIG. 10 shows the cam control of the tilting of the transfer members 61. The frame formed for reasons of ease of assembly, by two identical parts 13, 14 (symmetrical), one on the left and the other on the right of the runway DF carries the two columns 11-1, 12-1 of each rail 11, 12 and the carriage 9, 10; the latter is coupled to a toothed drive belt passing over a drive motor 15 (these details appear in FIG. 1).
    The transfer member 61 is carried by its arm 51-3 substantially vertical, pivotally mounted about the horizontal axis 61-4 on the frame 13 or 14. The arm 61-3 directly carries the stretcher 61-1 provided with a roller 61-5 flowing in a control rail 17-1; it also carries, but movably, the clamp 61-2 also provided with a roller 61-6 flowing in another control rail 17-2.
    Each of the two control rails 17-1, 17-2, parallel to the rail 11 of the carriage 9, is movable in translation in the transverse direction yy. For this the movement is controlled by a tab 17-3, 17-4 associated with each control rail 17-1, 17-2 and provided with a follower roller 17-5, 17-6 guided by two paths 18-1 , 18-2 of the cam 18. The rotary cam 18 is rotated by a geared motor 18-3 synchronized to the operation of the laying equipment.
    The translational movement of the two control rails 17-1, 17-2 makes it possible, on the one hand, to close and open the clamp 61-2 by changing the spacing of the two control rails 17-1, 17-. 2 and on the other hand, to switch the transfer member 61, taken globally, either in the active laying path or in the return path.
    FIG. 10 shows one of the two pairs 6, 7 of transfer members 61, 71, the other pair 7 being located in front of or behind the plane of FIG. 10. This other pair can be controlled by the same cam rotary 18 and its movement, since in opposition of phase with that of the first pair, can be provided by the same motor as that driving the first pair with an axis carrying a pulley meshing in a toothed belt similar to that of the first pair .
    The synchronization of the movements of the two parts of the laying equipment is done electronically in the control box.
    In summary, each section of transfer members performs a movement comprising the following phases: - Engagement in the sheath to pinch a sleeve.
    - After cutting the sleeve, spacing the transfer member and passage over the product. The sleeve is applied by elastic return against the product. At the end of the laying stroke, the clamp of the sleeve is opened and the transfer member disengages. Then, the transfer member leaves from below the product during treatment or at least the downward stroke, necessary for its release relative to the sleeve.
    - The transfer member tilts in the released position.
    - Then, the carriage carrying the transfer member back into the active position.
    FIGS. 11A, 11B, 11C show an installation variant according to the invention. The following description will only concern the modified parts with respect to the embodiment described above, the identical parts of which have not been included.
    This installation consists of an input conveyor 2A, fixed speed and an output conveyor 2B also fixed speed. Between these two conveyors is a central conveyor 2C variable speed. This central conveyor 2C comprises a frame 200 carrying an input wheel 201 and an output wheel 202. The latter is connected to the frame 200 by a rapid tensioning device 203 not detailed, to allow a quick change of belt. The belt 204 passes on the input wheel 201 and the output wheel 203. In fact, these wheels are cylinders or discs of adjustable width depending on the width of the belt 204 used.
    The drive motor of the input wheel 201 is not shown.
    The upper strand of the belt 204 on which the products P rest is supported by a belt support 205 of variable width. This belt support is installed in the chassis via quick link means. Similarly, the belt 204 is interchangeable and can be replaced by a belt of different width. For this change, it is interesting to quickly release the tension exerted on the belt by acting on the output wheel or output cylinder 2002 to retract, allow to change the belt and then put it back in tension.
    This installation has no star input but two input screws 301, 302 installed on either side of the scroll path products P above the input conveyor 2A. these input screws 201, 202 rotating at a slightly different speed, to change the orientation of the products between their position at the entrance and their position on the intermediate conveyor 2C for sleeving and again at the output.
    The other elements of the installation and, in particular those of the laying of the sleeve, are not shown or are only schematically. These are the same means as those described previously.
