Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of manufacturing machines, at least including the production equipment for manufacturing shaped, filled and closed container products (such as ampoule) and the separating equipment for separating the container product from frame, the frame at least partially surrounds the container product after leaving the production equipment along the straight manufacturing line with the predeterminable orientation. The utility model further relates to a kind of separating equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] A production equipment is known by DE 10 2020 004 564 A1 as part of a manufacturing machine, for manufacturing plastic containers by means of a shaping, filling and closing method, comprising at least: a shaping device having a plurality of individual molds, which are repeatedly movable relative to each other from an open receiving position into a shaped closed position; and an extrusion unit, by means of which at least one extruded plastic tube can be introduced into the open receiving position of the mold, wherein the extrusion unit, together with each extruded plastic tube, is reversibly movable relative to the shaping device, which is positionally fixedly arranged in each position of the mold, by means of a movement device. In this way, the shaping can be carried out statically by means of the mold in the continuous extrusion of the plastic tube by means of the extrusion unit and the extrusion head, which allows a precise orientation of the mold halves to each other for the manufacture of the respective container product.

[0003] Separating devices, which are generally used to separate individual container products from a frame composite, are connected to such production devices and often serve as components of the manufacturing machine, the frame composite being made of a plastic material, in particular a polyolefin, for example polyethylene or polypropylene, the separating devices comprising a punching device which at least partially separates the respective container product from a component of the frame, the punching device having a free fall in which the respective frame waste is separated from the respective container product from a starting position in accordance with the teaching of DE 10 2007 040 472 A1. Further separating devices are described, for example, in DE 10 2022 000 100 A1 and DE 10 2007 060 419 B3. In addition to mechanical separation by means of punching and cutting devices, thermal separation by means of a laser is also known in the art. In this way DE 10 2010 011 207 A1 discloses a device for cutting mutually connected plastic products for the medical sector present in a composite, comprising at least one laser, at least one laser control system and at least one optical detection and data processing unit. In this way an increase in efficiency in cutting container products for the medical sector present in a composite is to be achieved. Common to all these different separating devices is that in the context of the separation process the container product, together with its filling, occupies a horizontal, full-surface position, so that a good heat transfer between the plastic of the frame and the fluidic container content is also produced. This can be quite disadvantageous, in particular when the filling is thermally sensitive and is affected in its quality after a corresponding heat input. In particular when the separating device generally performs the separation process in the manufacturing machine at a significant distance from the production device and the product must first also reach the location of the separation from the production device, a high heat input can also be caused by the long contact time. Utility model content

[0004] Starting from this prior art, it is the task of the utility model to provide a manufacturing machine which is improved in this respect, which is functionally reliable and allows the provision of filled container products in an economic manner, including the separation of the container products from a frame which is produced compulsorily in the manufacture.

[0005] To this end, the utility model proposes a manufacturing machine which comprises at least a production device for the production of shaped, filled and closed container products, such as ampoules, and a separating device for separating the container products from a frame, which at least partially surrounds the container products after leaving the production device along a straight manufacturing line having a predetermined orientation, wherein the separating device separates the container products from the frame within the straight manufacturing line and the frame remains in the straight manufacturing line at least until after the separation is carried out.

[0006] According to the application, the separating device separates the container product from the frame in the straight manufacturing line and the frame remains in the straight manufacturing line at least until after the separation has been carried out, whereby the separation of the container product from the frame takes place almost directly and thus immediately after the manufacture of the filled and closed container product by means of the separating device, since the straight manufacturing line here produces the shortest connection between the outlet from the production device and the inlet into the separating device.

[0007] On the basis of the straight manufacturing line, which can be realized here between the production and separating device, it is furthermore ensured that the frame, which comes out of the production device and is still hot as a result of the production process, can not necessarily transfer its heat for a long time to the container contents of the possibly heat-sensitive fluid, but rather the complete separation of the container product from the adjacent hot frame part has already taken place immediately before the corresponding heat transfer. This is not the case with the corresponding solutions in the prior art.

[0008] It is particularly advantageous here that the orientation of the manufacturing line is arranged vertically from the production device and the separation by means of the separating device takes place transversely to the vertical manufacturing line, so that the transfer time between the production device and the separating device is further reduced. A space-saving construction of the production device together with the separating device, which are arranged one after the other in the manufacturing sequence, is also produced in this way. Since the container product is substantially in a natural line of descent along the manufacturing line after leaving the production device, an unimpeded and unobstructed transition between the two devices arranged in sequence in the manufacturing machine is also produced here. Furthermore, the transition along the line of descent necessarily does not require long transport paths, so that the costly, additional transport means can largely be dispensed with.

[0009] The separation by means of the separating device can preferably take place in a hot manner using at least one laser, or mechanically by means of a water jet cutting machine or by means of a cutting or blanking process.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the manufacturing machine according to the application, the separating device has a separating punch for the cutting or punching process of the machine, which separating punch is provided with a first mold cavity, which first mold cavity at least partially adapts to the outer contour of the respective container product and which first mold cavity has a cutting edge or punching face on the edge side for the separation of the respective container product from the frame extending along the manufacturing line. On the basis of the separating punch, a container group, preferably comprising a plurality of rows of adjacent container products, for example ten containers, can be separated from the frame in the range of the predetermined beat of the manufacturing process by the production device. The correspondingly separated or detached frame is also referred to in technical terms as frame waste, wherein the correspondingly remaining plastic residue can also be recycled, so that from a modern environmental aspect, waste can no longer be said here in principle, but rather recyclable raw material.

[0011] In another preferred embodiment of the manufacturing machine according to the application, the separating device has individual clamping jaws, which can be moved towards each other in the feed direction in pairs with individual actuating devices, such as actuating cylinders, in the case of a clamping gap formed for the frame and can be moved away from each other in the opposite direction into a starting position. On the basis of the clamping jaw actuation by means of the actuating cylinders, for example in the form of electric cylinders, a relatively high actuating force can be applied to the separating device and its components, such as the clamping jaws, in short closing and opening times.

[0012] In another preferred embodiment of the manufacturing machine according to the application, at least the following part of the frame, which has the respective container product to be separated before the separation, is fixed within the clamping gap with a defined clamping force applied by at least one of the actuating devices. In this way, a manufacturing card comprising the frame and the container products received therein can be fixed in a defined manner, so that the separating punch can perform the separation unhindered for the separation process.

[0013] Here, preferably, one of the clamping jaws can be passed through by the separating punch, which separating punch is separated by means of the same or a further actuating device, such as a further actuating cylinder or electric cylinder, once the clamping jaws opposing each other in pairs define the clamping gap. Here, preferably, the other clamping jaw of the clamping jaw pairing has a shaft for transporting the separated container product away from the frame. In this way, the frame comprising the container products can be realized quasi-continuously in sequence from the supply of the production device, the separation of the container products from the frame and their removal from the separating device, so that a very fast manufacturing process is achieved.

[0014] To this end it is useful for there to be a separate holding device between the production device and the separating device, which holding device can be moved along the manufacturing line and which transfers the container product manufactured in the production device to the separating device positionally accurately. Here, the holding device preferably has at least one mold housing, which has at least one second mold cavity, which at least partially adapts to the outer contour of the respective container product. Preferably two, particularly preferably four or more mold housings for the holding device are used.

[0015] In a further preferred embodiment form of the manufacturing machine according to the application it is provided that the rim remaining in the manufacturing line after the separation of the container product can be separated by means of a cutting device of the clamping tongs, which are penetrated by the separating punch. In this way it is possible to separate the part of the frame which, after the separation process from the separating device, is discharged without a container, at the same time as the container product is separated from the frame. In this way it is avoided that the respective frame parts form a longer chain in succession from one another, which can be disadvantageous for the rapid removal of the residual amount of the corresponding remaining plastic material.

[0016] In a further particularly preferred embodiment form of the manufacturing machine according to the application it is provided that the container product can be output from the manufacturing line into a shaft, preferably in a vertical upright direction, be placed onto a transport device along this upright direction and be removed from the manufacturing machine. The container product separated in this way maintains its original orientation and unintentional shaking processes involving the contents of the container, which could otherwise for example lead to unintentional bubble formation in the filling, do not occur.

[0017] In a further particularly preferred embodiment form of the manufacturing machine according to the application it is provided that the separating punch and / or the mold housing of the holding device can be temperature-regulated, preferably cooled. In this way it is possible to deliberately prevent unintentional, excessive heat input into the filling of the respective container product.

[0018] The application further relates to a separating device, in particular for a manufacturing machine as set out above, which comprises at least one pair of clamping tongs, which can be moved from a starting position into a clamping position with a clamping gap and vice versa by means of at least one actuating device, and a separating punch, which penetrates one of the clamping tongs in order to carry out the separation process of the container product from the frame at least partially surrounding the container product once the corresponding frame is fixed in the clamping gap. The separating device is thus a separate structural unit, which can also be combined into a common manufacturing machine with another structural unit in the form of a production device in the sense of a supplementary equipment.

[0019] The subject of this invention is also a method for manufacturing container products using the manufacturing machine described above, wherein the separation of the container product from the frame occurs less than 20 seconds, preferably less than 16 seconds, and particularly preferably less than 10 seconds after leaving the production equipment. It is also preferably provided that the container product and / or its contents are temperature-controlled, preferably cooled, through at least partially form-locking contact with the mold housing of at least one of the mold housings of the clamping device. Due to the rapid manufacturing sequence and the feasibility of cooling, the corresponding container contents are protected in each case from unwanted heat input. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Figure 4 and 5 A longitudinal sectional view showing a section of the separation device in two different process stages. Detailed Implementation

[0025] Figure 1 The key components of the manufacturing machine as a whole are shown. The manufacturing machine has production equipment 10 for manufacturing plastic products 12 by means of molding, filling, and sealing methods. Such production equipment 10 as used herein is described in detail in DE 10 2020 004 564 A1. For clarity, the original orientation of the manufacturing machine is omitted. Figure 1 The observer's component and here the diagram is cut in half. Production equipment 10 has a movable extrusion head 22 for extruding at least one plastic hose 16 and a forming device 18, relatively stationary, comprising pairs of cooperating molds 20, in which, for simplicity, Figure 1 The corresponding matching mold 20 is also shown. The corresponding multi-piece mold 20 for the container and the head forming part including the corresponding separation part can move back and forth relative to each other between the open receiving position for receiving the hose 16 and the closed position for forming the container product 12.

[0026] The extrusion head 22 is vertically movable in opposite directions with the extruded plastic hose 16 and the filling device 14 together by means of a not shown movement device relative to the shaping device 18 which is positionally fixed in each horizontal movement position of the mold 20, whereby the respective plastic hose 16 can be introduced into a respectively one receiving space 24 of the mold 20 arranged in a receiving position according to the Figure 1 diagram according to Figure 1 and 2 .

[0027] The extrusion head 22 together with the filling device 14 is moved in opposite directions between an upper end position and a lower end position. Here, the extrusion head 22 is linearly movable along a manufacturing line 29 (see Figure 3 ) such that by lifting of the extrusion head 22 from its lower end position in the direction of the upper end position the respective plastic hose 16 can be continuously and under tension extruded in the closed shaping device 18 and by lowering of the extrusion head 22 from the upper end position in the direction of the lower end position such that a part of the extruded respective plastic hose 16 can be placed from the extrusion position into the shaping position of the shaping device 18 between the respectively opened mold 20.

[0028] Below the production plant 10 comprising the extrusion head 22 and the shaping device 18, a separating plant 30 is arranged stationary on a machine base 28 of the manufacturing machine along the manufacturing line 29 according to the Figure 3 exploded view according to

[0029] For the transfer of the container product 12 from the production plant 10 to the separating plant 30, a clamping device 32 comprising two clamping jaws 34 is arranged according to the Figure 2 diagram, which can be moved horizontally towards and away from each other for clamping the container product 12, wherein the clamping device 32 as a whole can be moved vertically up and down in the machine base 28 by means of a further skid guide 36 (see Figure 1 ).

[0030] The production plant 10 preferably manufactures on its output side a continuous chain of container cards 38, which is exemplarily shown in Figure 3 and partially in Figure 2The containers 12 are shown in Fig. 1 in a perspective view, wherein the containers 12 are shown in a closed state, i.e. with the head part 14 closed. The containers 12 are shown in a perspective view in Fig. 2, wherein the containers 12 are shown in an open state, i.e. with the head part 14 open. The containers 12 are shown in a perspective view in Fig. 3, wherein the containers 12 are shown in a state of being filled with the product 18. The containers 12 are shown in a perspective view in Fig. 4, wherein the containers 12 are shown in a state of being closed with the head part 14. The containers 12 are shown in a perspective view in Fig. 5, wherein the containers 12 are shown in a state of being separated from the frame 42. The containers 12 are shown in a perspective view in Fig. 6, wherein the containers 12 are shown in a state of being separated from the frame 42 and in a state of being closed with the head part 14. The containers 12 are shown in a perspective view in Fig. 7, wherein the containers 12 are shown in a state of being separated from the frame 42 and in a state of being closed with the head part 14 and in a state of being filled with the product 18. The containers 12 are shown in a perspective view in Fig. 8, wherein the containers 12 are shown in a state of being separated from the frame 42 and in a state of being closed with the head part 14 and in a state of being filled with the product 18 and in a state of being closed with the head part 14.

[0031] Furthermore, the respective container group 40 is at least partially and in each case along its lateral edges surrounded or enclosed by a frame 42, which is made of the same plastic material as the container product 12, wherein the frame 42 is produced compulsorily in the manufacture of the container product 12 by means of the production device 10 and thus constitutes a region of the previously open plastic tube 16 which is closed on the edge side. The respective container product 12 is separable from the respective frame 42 on the edge side with the aid of the separation device 30 already described. In order to have an improved frame guidance of the container products 12, the respective frame 42 has on the transition between two adjacent container groups 40 within the card 38 a clamping strip 44 which extends transversely along the bottom side of all container products 12 which are in a row, wherein the respective clamping strip 44 reinforces the respective frame 42 in this region and furthermore forms a defined abutment surface for a clamping device 46 which comprises a pair of clamping jaws 48, 49 as part of the separation device 30, which will be explained in more detail.

[0032] At the beginning of the process cycle, the extrusion head 22 together with each continuously extruded hose 16 is moved from its upper end position in the direction of the open forming device 18 by a stroke which corresponds to the total height of the finished container product 12 less the length of the hose extruded during the movement. As a result, the portion of the respective hose 16 arranged on the forming device 18 is placed in the forming position into the respective receiving space 24 of the forming device 20. At the same time as the movement of the extrusion head 22, the clamping device 32 initially arranged in its clamping position is moved by means of a further movement device 36 from its upper end position arranged between the pair of moulds 20 of the forming device 18 in the direction of its lower end position arranged below the forming device 18, which clamping device clamps the container group 40 at least clampingly on the portion of the respective hose 16 and the finished container product 12 made thereon. Here, by means of the clamping device 32, the plastic hose 16 is held under tension with respect to the extrusion head 22 in the case of the opening of the forming device 18. At the same time as the movement of the extrusion head 22 and the clamping device 32, the filling mandrel (not shown) of the filling device 14 is extended inside the respective hose in the direction of its lower end position from its upper end position. The subsequent filling and closing of the individual container products 12 is known from the prior art (DE 10 2020 004 564 A1) and is not further explained here. In addition, instead of the production plant 10 shown, a further production plant can also be used which similarly manufactures a container card comprising edges and filled container products received therein.

[0033] As a result of this Figure 2 , the respective clamping jaws 34 of the clamping device 32 have individual second cavities 50 which are modelled on the outer contour of the container product 12. In this way, two container groups 40 arranged one above the other can be received with precise fit between the clamping jaws 34, which here constitute a kind of mould housing. The uppermost arranged second cavities 50 viewed in the viewing direction onto Figure 2 , here have a cavity-free region 52 in the region of the detachable head part of the respective container with filling, which opens up the possibility of already guiding the uppermost arranged container group 40 on the container side, while the forming device 18 together with a part of its forming elements also constitutes a head forming part with a detachment position. Instead of according to Figure 2The shown arrangement can also provide only one cavity row for the containers 12 of one container group 40; but more cavity rows are also provided in accordance with how much output of container products 12 is to be provided in terms of the shaping device 18. The frame 42, which laterally surrounds the container products 12 by means of its two frame sections 53 extending parallel to one another, in combination with the clamping bars 44 provided on the bottom side respectively clampingly receives in flat abutment as required between the successive wall sections of the clamping jaws 34. In order to temper the container products 12 including their contents, the clamping device 32 can be provided with unshown tempering devices, in particular cooling devices.

[0034] As emerges in particular from Figure 4 and 5 , the clamping device 32 in its lower transfer arrangement transfers the respective container group 40 of the container card 38 in successive order to the separating apparatus 30, as it is further shown in the exploded view according to Figure 3 . The separating apparatus 30 for a mechanical cutting or punching process has a cuboid-shaped separating punch 54, which is provided with a first cavity 56, which at least partially adapts to the outer contour of the respective container product 12, wherein the first cavity 56 has a cutting edge or punching face 58 on the edge side for the separation of the respective container product 12 from the frame 42 extending along the manufacturing line 29. In the present embodiment, ten in number container products 12 within the container group 40 are to be separated from the frame 42. In Figure 3 , the container card 38 is shown here with the respective container group 40 and frame 42, wherein only the frame 42 together with the lateral frame sections 53 and the clamping bar 44 in the lowermost position remain as a remainder on the lower end of the container card 38 in the case that the container group 40 comprising ten container products 12 has been separated.

[0035] Furthermore, the separating apparatus 30 has two clamping jaws 48, 49 of a clamping device 46, which are moved in pairs in the feed direction by means of respective actuating devices 59 using at least two actuating cylinders 60 into one another towards and out of one another in opposite direction into a starting position, forming a clamping gap 62 for the frame 42. As actuating cylinders 60, in particular electric cylinders can be used. The two actuating cylinders 60 are positionally fixedly provided on the machine base 28 of the manufacturing machine according to Figure 1 and the movably clamping jaws 48, 49, which are movable by means of the respectively assignable actuating devices 59, are guided longitudinally movably, preferably in horizontal direction, by means of a rod guide 66.

[0036] Independent of the movement of the two handling cylinders 60 and thus of the handling devices 59, the separating punch 54 can be moved back and forth by means of a further actuator device, for example from a starting position according to Figure 4 into a cutting or punching position, through which the separating punch 54 then moves into an output or ejection position according to Figure 5 and back again. However, it is preferable to arrange the handling cylinders 60, which are shown on the left in Figure 3 , not only to move the configured handling devices 59 into the clamping position for the frame 42 of the container group 38, but also to move the separating punch 54 for the shearing or punching of the container product 12 out of the frame 42 further to the right after the clamping position has been occupied. In each case, the clamping jaws 48 of the clamping device 46 form a frame-shaped pressure film 70, which functions as a pressing device and cooperates with a further frame-shaped pressure film receptacle 72, which is guided in the configurable handling device 59 by a further lever guide 74, wherein the handling device 59 has a respective pressure spring element 76 on its free end side, which exerts a cushioned spring force on the pressure film 70 or the clamping jaws 48 when the punching or cutting process is introduced and carried out by means of the separating punch 54 during the clamping of the respective container group 40. On the opposite side, a frame-shaped counter support pressure film 78 is connected to the handling device 59 on the right, which cooperates elastically with the pressure film 70 as a pressing device during the punching or cutting process, which achieves an improved separation result.

[0037] As further derived from Figure 4 and 5 , the pressure film 70 together with the separating punch 54 moves from a starting position according to Figure 4 into a handling position according to Figure 5 , in which the pressure film 70 enters into abutment with the frame 42 as part of the handling device 59, in the form of the lateral frame portion 53 and the clamping bar 44 in particular. Here, the counter support pressure film 78 can already occupy its clamping position shown in Figure 4 and 5 and then feeds the pressure film 70 correspondingly. In this feeding movement, the separating punch 54 can preferably be moved simultaneously for the cutting or punching process; however, an independent movement can also be provided, in which the separating punch 54 occupies a movement position by means of the handling cylinders 60 or a further actuator independently of the pressure film 70, in which the separating punch respectively passes through the frame-shaped pressure film 70 centrally.

[0038] Thus from Figure 5It is derived that the press platen 70 has an additional cutting device 80 on the bottom side comprising a linear cutting edge which, when the press platen 70 is fed onto the mating press platen 78, adjacently under the corresponding clamping gap 62 for the frame 42, effects the separation of the frame 42 lying thereunder from the frame 42 lying thereover. The thus separated frame 42 can then be reused.

[0039] Furthermore Figure 5 It is shown that the clamping bars 44 respectively arranged thereon and thereunder of the frame 42 delimitingly secure between the press platens 70, 78 designed as clamping jaws 48, 49 when the container products 12 are cut or punched out of the associated frame 42. But in each case, prior to the punching or cutting process, the two press platens 70, 78 are placed at a distance from one another by means of the handling device 59, so that, prior to the closing of the clamping jaws 38, 39 by one another by the press platens 70, 78, the container card 38 with the container products 12 and the frame 42 can be introduced without disturbance by the clamping device 32 into the separating device.

[0040] The cut or punched out container products 12 are then delimitingly guided downward in a vertical output direction by a shaft 82 in the handling device 59 on the right-hand side with the clamping jaws 49 and are deposited thereon in a vertical standing direction onto a transport belt 84 of a transport device 86 and are subsequently transported away, for example, in order to be combined in an output package (not shown) in a corresponding number of container products 12 of the chain 40. As is especially Figure 4 and 5 It is further elucidated that the two press platens 70 and 78 as clamping jaws 48 or 49, respectively, exert a very high clamping force onto the frame 42 of the container card 38, and that, during the cutting or punching process, the container products 12 are supplied by the production device 10 with a predetermined machine cadence through the container card 38 by the clamping device 32. In Figures 3 to 5 The further shown separating device 30 can also be retrofitted as a so-called retrofit kit for an already existing manufacturing machine with the production device 10. The separating device 30 allows a quick separation of the container products 12 from the associated frame 42 and also enables such a separation for relatively rigid plastic materials.

[0041] With the set-up manufacturing machine, a method for manufacturing container products 12 can be implemented, wherein the separation of the container products 12 from the frame 42 can take place after leaving the production device 10 after less than 20 seconds, preferably after less than 16 seconds, particularly preferably after less than 10 seconds. There is furthermore the possibility of tempering, in particular cooling, of the separating punch 54, preferably on its free end side onto which the container products 12 enter into abutment, instead of or in addition to the clamping device 32 together with its die housing.
