Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungsmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, insbesondere eine Blister-Verpackungsmaschine für pharmazeutische Produkte, welche wenigstens zwei Baugruppen aufweist, mittels der Produkte einer Verpackung zugeführt werden.The invention relates to a packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular a blister packaging machine for pharmaceutical products, which has at least two modules, are supplied by means of the products of a package.
Eine derartige Verpackungsmaschine wird von der Anmelderin seit vielen Jahren hergestellt und mit großem Erfolg vermarktet.Such a packaging machine has been manufactured by the Applicant for many years and marketed with great success.
Bei der bekannten Verpackungsmaschine befinden sich Produkte, die mittels der Maschine verpackt werden sollen, regelmäßig in einem an der Verpackungsmaschine angeordneten Vorratsbehälter. Von dem Vorratsbehälter gelangen die Produkte beispielsweise über Linearvibrationsförderer auf einen Füllteller, welcher einen Rotationsförderer aufweist. Des Weiteren ist am Füllteller ein Zuführstück angeordnet, mittels welchem die Produkte in eine Füllwalze gelangen, welche von einem Servoantrieb angetrieben wird. Von der Füllwalze gelangen die Produkte beispielsweise in so genannte Näpfe eines Folienstranges.In the known packaging machine, products which are to be packaged by means of the machine are regularly stored in a storage container arranged on the packaging machine. From the reservoir, the products reach, for example via linear vibratory conveyors on a filling plate, which has a rotary conveyor. Furthermore, a feed piece is arranged on the filling plate, by means of which the products reach a filling roll, which is driven by a servo drive. From the stuffing roll, for example, the products pass into so-called cups of a film strand.
Wenngleich die vorstehend beschriebene Anordnung auch nur einen möglichen in der Regel mit Produktzuführung bezeichneten Aufbau darstellt, so ist es allen Produktzuführungen gemein, dass die Komponenten beziehungsweise Baugruppen, aus denen die Produktzuführung besteht, direkt mit der Verpackungsmaschine verbunden sind. Üblicherweise ist der Vorratsbehälter, welcher auch als Vordosierung bezeichnet wird, mit seinem Linearvibrationsförderer auf einer Tischplatte der Verpackungsmaschine befestigt. Dasselbe gilt auch für den Füllteller und das Zuführstück mit seinem Rotationsförderer sowie für die Füllwalze und ihrem Servoantrieb.Although the above-described arrangement also represents only one possible construction, generally referred to as product feed, it is common to all product feeders that the components or assemblies which make up the product feed are connected directly to the packaging machine. Usually, the storage container, which is also referred to as predosing, is fastened with its linear vibrating conveyor on a table top of the packaging machine. The same applies to the filling plate and the feeder with its rotary conveyor as well as the filling roller and its servo drive.
Da nahezu alle die Produktzuführung bildenden Teile mit dem Produkt in Berührung kommen, ist es bei einem Produktwechsel erforderlich, diese Teile auszuwechseln. Denn zum einen können sich die Produkte in ihrer Form und Größe unterscheiden, so dass ein Wechsel der Produktzuführung bereits wegen der unterschiedlichen Geometrie der Produkte erforderlich ist. Zum anderen können die mit dem Produkt in Berührung kommenden Teile der Produktzuführung kontaminiert sein, weshalb insbesondere bei pharmazeutischen Produkten ein Wechsel der Produktzuführung erforderlich ist. Des Weiteren muss auch sichergestellt sein, dass bei einem Produktwechsel kein bisheriges Produkt mehr in der Produktzuführung verblieben ist.Since almost all the parts forming the product supply come into contact with the product, it is necessary to replace these parts when changing the product. Because on the one hand, the products may differ in their shape and size, so that a change of product supply is already required because of the different geometry of the products. On the other hand, the parts of the product feed which come into contact with the product may be contaminated, which is why it is necessary in particular for pharmaceutical products to change the product feed. Furthermore, it must also be ensured that no previous product has remained in the product feed during a product change.
Der Austausch der die Produktzuführung bildenden Teile ist mit einem relativ hohen Zeitaufwand verbunden. Dies ist äußerst nachteilig, da während der entsprechenden Arbeiten der Betrieb der Verpackungsmaschine ruht.The replacement of the product supply forming parts is associated with a relatively high amount of time. This is extremely disadvantageous because during operation the operation of the packaging machine rests.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine eingangs genannte Verpackungsmaschine derart auszubilden, dass die die Produktzuführung bildenden Baugruppen auf einfache Weise und schnell ausgetauscht werden können.It is an object of the invention to form a packaging machine mentioned in the introduction such that the assemblies forming the product feed can be exchanged quickly and easily.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The solution of this problem arises from the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine Verpackungsmaschine, insbesondere Blister-Verpackungsmaschine für pharmazeutische Produkte, welche wenigstens zwei Baugruppen aufweist, mittels der Produkte einer Verpackung zugeführt werden, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Baugruppen zu einer separaten Zuführeinheit zusammengefasst sind, welche mit der Verpackungsmaschine lösbar verbunden ist.According to the invention, a packaging machine, in particular blister packaging machine for pharmaceutical products, which has at least two modules, are supplied by means of the products of a package, characterized in that the modules are combined to form a separate feed unit, which is detachably connected to the packaging machine.
Dadurch dass, die Baugruppen zu einer separaten Zuführeinheit zusammengefasst sind, welche mit der Verpackungsmaschine lösbar verbunden ist, braucht bei einem Wechsel der Baugruppen nur ein Element, nämlich die Zuführeinheit, getauscht zu werden. Statt einer Vielzahl von einzelnen Elementen, braucht nun nur noch die als Modul ausgebildete Zuführeinheit demontiert beziehungsweise montiert zu werden. Dies wirkt sich sehr vorteilhaft auf die zum Austausch der Produktzuführung benötigte Zeit aus.The fact that, the modules are combined to form a separate feed unit, which is detachably connected to the packaging machine, when changing the modules, only one element, namely the feed unit, to be replaced. Instead of a plurality of individual elements, now only needs to be disassembled or mounted as the module feed unit. This has a very beneficial effect on the time required to replace the product feed.
Als sehr vorteilhaft hat sich eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung erwiesen, bei der die Zuführeinheit eine Bodenplatte hat, welche wenigstens ein Zentrierelement aufweist. Durch das Zentrierelement ist es möglich, die Zuführeinheit äußerst positionsgenau auf der Verpackungsmaschine anzuordnen. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die die Produktzuführung bildenden Baugruppen bereits vor dem Anbringen der Zuführeinheit an der Verpackungsmaschine exakt zu justieren. Nachdem die Zuführeinheit an der Verpackungsmaschine angeordnet ist, sind keine Justagearbeiten mehr erforderlich. Auch dies wirkt sich sehr vorteilhaft auf die für einen Wechsel der Produktzuführung benötigte Zeit aus.An embodiment of the invention has proved to be very advantageous in which the feed unit has a base plate which has at least one centering element. By means of the centering element, it is possible to arrange the feed unit in the most exact position on the packaging machine. This makes it possible to precisely adjust the modules forming the product feed before attaching the feed unit to the packaging machine. After the feed unit is arranged on the packaging machine, no adjustment work is required. This also has a very advantageous effect on the time required for a change of the product feed.
Sehr vorteilhaft ist es ebenfalls eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, bei der die Verpackungsmaschine eine Tischplatte hat, auf der die Zuführeinheit anordenbar ist, und die Zuführeinheit eine Bodenplatte hat, welche wenigstens eine Luftaustrittsöffnung aufweist, mittels welcher zwischen der Bodenplatte und der Tischplatte ein Luftpolster erzeugbar ist. Hierdurch lässt sich die Zuführeinheit ohne großen Kraftaufwand auf der Tischplatte verschieben, wodurch sie auf einfache Weise in ihre exakte Position bringbar ist. Durch die problemlose Verschiebbarkeit der Zuführeinheit auf der Tischplatte braucht die Zuführeinheit nicht an einer bestimmten Stelle auf der Tischplatte abgesetzt zu werden, was wegen des relativ hohen Gewichts der Zuführeinheit sehr vorteilhaft ist. Auch dies wirkt sich sehr vorteilhaft auf die für einen Wechsel der Produktzuführung benötigte Zeit aus.It is also very advantageous embodiment of the invention, in which the packaging machine has a table top on which the feed unit can be arranged, and the feed unit has a bottom plate which has at least one air outlet opening, by means of which between the bottom plate and the table top, an air cushion can be generated , As a result, the feed unit can be moved without much effort on the table top, whereby it can be easily brought into its exact position. Due to the easy displaceability of the feed unit on the table top, the feed unit does not need to be discontinued at a certain point on the table top, which is very advantageous because of the relatively high weight of the feed unit. This also has a very advantageous effect on the time required for a change of the product feed.
Bei einer weiteren besonderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Luftaustrittsöffnungen in einem mit der Bodenplatte lösbar verbundenen Einsatz angeordnet sind. Hierdurch besteht die Möglichkeit, bei einer Störung des Luftaustritts aus den Luftaustrittsöffnungen den Einsatz und damit die Luftaustrittsöffnungen auf einfache Weise auszuwechseln.In a further particular embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the air outlet openings are arranged in an insert detachably connected to the base plate. This makes it possible to replace the insert and thus the air outlet openings in a simple manner in the event of a fault in the air outlet from the air outlet openings.
Ebenfalls als vorteilhaft hat sich eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung erwiesen, bei der ein Anschlusssockel vorhanden ist, welche eine Öffnung aufweist, durch welche die Versorgungsleitungen der Zuführeinheit geführt sind. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Produktzuführung auf einfache Weise mit den zu ihrem Betrieb erforderlichen Versorgungsleitungen zu verbinden. Besonders vorteilhaft hierzu ist es, wenn in dem Anschlusssockel entsprechende Steckverbindungen vorhanden sind.Also advantageous as an embodiment of the invention has been found in which a connection socket is present, which has an opening through which the supply lines of the feed unit are guided. This makes it possible to connect the product supply in a simple manner with the necessary for their operation supply lines. It is particularly advantageous for this purpose if corresponding plug connections are present in the connection socket.
Sehr vorteilhaft bei der letztgenannten Ausführungsform ist es, wenn der Anschlusssockel einen verstellbaren Anschlag aufweist. Mittels des verstellbaren Anschlags lässt sich in vorteilhafter Weise die Position der Zuführeinheit an der Verpackungsmaschine exakt einstellen.Very advantageous in the latter embodiment is when the terminal socket has an adjustable stop. By means of the adjustable stop can be adjusted in an advantageous manner, the position of the feed unit on the packaging machine exactly.

Die Zuführeinheit 4 enthält alle mit dem Produkt in Berührung kommende Teile. Mit dem Aufsetzen der Zuführeinheit 4 auf die Tischplatte 6 beziehungsweise dem Abnehmen der Zuführeinheit 4 von der Tischplatte 6 werden somit alle produktabhängigen Teile in vormontierter Form ausgewechselt. Somit können Reinigungs- und Umrüstarbeiten außerhalb der Verpackungsmaschine stattfinden. Im günstigsten Fall kann ein Austausch der Zuführeinheit 4 mit einer zweiten, schon vorgerüsteten Zuführeinheit vorgenommen werden. Dies führt zu erheblichen Zeiteinsparungen bei Produktwechseln.The
