Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an automatic product packing machine with manual electric drive control, which is designed to overcome the above drawbacks. The machine is affordable and easy to use.

Problems solved by technology

When dealing with large automatic machines, however, one central handwheel may not be enough, by being located too far away from the lateral portions of the machine, i.e. using one central handwheel, the operator is too far away from the lateral portions of the machine to accurately monitor the moving parts in the lateral portions.
Providing multiple handwheels, however, poses various machine design problems, in that the necessary space in which to house the handwheels is not always readily available.
Moreover; each handwheel limits access to the machine parts behind it, so increasing the number of handwheels reduces overall access to the machine.

Abstract

An automatic product packing machine having: a conveying device which feeds a product for packing along a packing path, which originates at a first feed station and extends through a second feed station and at least one work station; an electric machine motor which drives at least part of the conveying device to move the conveying device; a manual control operated manually by an operator; and a control unit which controls operation of the electric machine motor according to the position of the manual control; and a portable device, which can be gripped and moved about freely by an operator, and supports the manual control.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an automatic product packing machine with manual electric drive control.[0002]The present invention may be used to advantage in an automatic cigarette packing machine, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.BACKGROUND ART[0003]An automatic cigarette packing machine normally comprises a number of conveyors, which feed the cigarettes along a packing path and are driven by at least one main electric motor. The whole of the packing path, which is equipped with numerous continuously-moving parts (effectors), is protected by safety housings to prevent operators from accidentally coming into contact with the moving parts. For obvious safety reasons, the main electric motor is only powered to drive the packing machine when the safety housings are closed, i.e. when the packing path is inaccessible from the outside.[0004]To allow technicians to effectively adjust or service the automatic machine (e.g. to improve...
