Abstract

To provide an automated production line for one cartoning machine/caser with two filling machines (50 cycles, 12 rows, 600 pieces/min) for stick packaging lines.SOLUTION: (1) A stick filler 1 discharges products in multiple rows from 400H and are lifted up to a height of 1000H by a 12-row inclined intermittent conveyor 2. (2) Products are discharged from a chute and fed to the lower pin conveyor 7 by a 12-row open/close synchronized feeder 10, where they are accelerated and dropped and accumulated evenly in two locations, with the first accumulation delayed by one pitch and fed into the product bucket of the cartoning machine at the same time as the next accumulated product. By connecting two stick fillers 1, the products are boxed and packed into cardboard boxes, completing the line. This provides one method of a production system with productivity of 1000 products per work hour and 0.5 hours of labor. (When one stick filler 1 is used by two people, labor is 0.67 for individual packaging of 10 products.)SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

えば１０ヶ箱等に入れ、段ボール箱に指定量例えば７２ヶ入れる包装ラインでいかに効率化、合理化を行うか、自動化生産システムの分野。

In the field of automated production systems, the focus is on how to streamline and streamline packaging lines that put a specified amount, for example 72 items, into a cardboard box, for example by putting 10 items into a box.

Technical Background

(1) A method in which one filling machine manages the number of rows, for example, 10 for a specified number of items, 10 rows, and 8 for 8 items, and manages the number of operations by 50 times per minute, and packs 20 or 30 items in bags or boxes by performing two or three times in multiples of 10. (2) When a filling machine discharges products at a height of 400H, a wide continuous belt conveyor is installed, a guide for the number of rows is installed on the top of the belt, and a pin conveyor with a connecting operation of 400H is installed at 90° to the belt, and the products jump into the width of the pin conveyor at the same time. In this method, jamming always occurs when the subsequent process stops. The pin conveyor is angled and rises, and the products are received and accumulated in a hopper at the end where they fall with a drop. In this case, if the fall distance is longer than the L dimension of the product, it will cause an inversion and the accumulation location will be limited to one place.
In both (1) and (2), there are few lines with 12 or more rows of operation, and there are few automated lines in either boxing or bagging, and few lines with labor hours of 1.0 or less, so this is a field where rationalization and automation are lagging behind. (Labor hours: the work hours required to produce 1,000 pieces)

The problem that the invention is trying to solve

(1) In order to secure the installation space for the machine, the products are lifted in multiple rows to a height of 1000H mm or more higher than the discharge height of the filling machine. (2) The products lifted to 1000-1100H are fed with a drop, and allowed to fall onto the lower bin conveyor without inverting or jamming.
(3) Increase and keep constant the number of rows of stick filling machines in operation. (4) Implement a method that minimizes gaps and ensures that surfaces that come into contact during product transportation and movement are smooth and have few gaps. (5) Consider the layout based on the premise of two filling machines operating in conjunction with each other, and set a target of 1.0 or less labor hours (10 sticks/box).
(6) When products are dropped into the product bucket from the supply device of the cartoning machine, the products do not fly out of the carton bucket, and the frequency of jamming is reduced.

Means to resolve the issue

(1) The number of rows of the filling machine is a common multiple of 2, 3, and 4, and is constant at 12 rows ( ^63.5 x 12 = 762), 50 ^cycles x 12 = 600 pieces/min. (2) The products discharged from the filling machine at 400H are received horizontally, raised at an angle of 60° to a height of 1000H, and discharged horizontally into the chute for the next process. The conveyor chain is No. 60. It is an intermittent conveyor with ^0.05 pitch, 10 links, and a pitch of 190.5 mm. On both sides of the frame, a plate pillar is erected, and a 16-pitch chain with attachment is attached to each of the plate pillars. Two #60 30-tooth sprockets are attached to the top and bottom of each side. The attachments on both sides move at a pitch of 190.5 mm. Plate A is attached to the front and plate B is attached to the rear. The length of plate B is more than half the product length L dimension, and is determined by testing based on the product characteristics. The length of A is 190.5-10-B=A. The width of plate A and plate B is 762 for the 12 rows, and a product receiving guide and stopper are attached. It is removable for ease of cleaning in case of trouble. The R part that rises, moves in parallel, and has a diameter D of the 30-tooth sprocket. P is the radius and is 1/6 the length of the circumference. A chain presser guide is attached to the top of the chain. The chain is raised at an angle of 60° on a multi-row ascending conveyor and discharged horizontally into the chute for the next process.

As the product slides down the chute, it is received by 12 rows of dampers with a 63.5 mm pitch. The dampers are made of two 15 mm wide plates (A and B) with guide stoppers attached, and two plates A and B with a width of 50 mm are placed at a 90° angle. Slide bearings are attached to the front and back of the plates. The odd numbered plates (A) 1, 3-5 are attached to plate A, and the even numbered plates (B) 2, 4, and 6 are attached to plate B. Linear bearings are attached to the front and back of plates A and B, and a timing belt with a servo motor is attached beyond that. Plate A is attached to the forward side of the dining belt, and plate B is attached to the return side. The dampers open and close when each is turned on and off 10 mm left and right. The product falls onto the pin conveyor below the 12 rows of dampers.

ツチに変え３８ｍ／分より７６ｍ／分のスピードに増速し、滑り板を１７インチピッチで製品の落下用穴加工を行い、その穴の手前の滑り板を簀子状に切削し、滑り板を動作可能し、その側面側にスライドベアリングを配し、滑り板可動部を取付、サーボモーター付タイミングベルトを設け、前後に８０ミリ動作可能とする製品は連続動作で送られるため、カウンターセンサーで指定量カウントし、第１集積Ａに落下し、すぐに５インチ前に進めＡ_１とし集２集積Ａ_２で落下した製品と第１集積Ａ_１の製品を同時にカートニング機の製品供給機Ａ_１Ａ_２に搬送する、Ａ_１の製品を５インチ前に移動することで、次の製品の受け入れが容易となり連続動作の集積が可能となる、A continuous pin conveyor with a pitch of 63.5 mm is installed under the damper. The total number of pins on the pin conveyor is an integer multiple of 12 in length, so 1 pitch is ^15.875 x 4, giving a total of 12 pitches, with 48 links and a 48-tooth sprocket on the drive shaft, and 50 rotations are sufficient. A disk is attached to the shaft, and 12 holes are drilled around the circumference of the disk, spaced at 12 equal intervals (30°), and a sensor is attached. The center of the damper, the center of the pin conveyor, and the holes in the disk are aligned with the hole sensor. In this state, if the pin conveyor speed is increased by a few percent, the sensor will detect 12 times when the disk rotates once, and the specified stroke of 10 mm should be turned on and off at the first detection, and the product will fall onto the pin conveyor. Compared to the one-to-one method, this method allows the product to fall more smoothly and reduces the frequency of jamming, but the increased speed will cause empty pins to occur.

The speed is increased from 38 m/min to 76 m/min by changing to a hammer, holes are made in the slide plate at 17 inch pitch for the products to fall through, the slide plate in front of the holes is cut into a lattice shape to make the slide plate movable, slide bearings are placed on the side of it, the movable part of the slide plate is attached, a timing belt with a servo motor is installed, and the slide plate can move 80 mm back and forth. Since the products are sent in a continuous motion, the counter sensor counts the specified amount, they fall into the first stack A, and immediately move forward 5 inches to _A1 , and the products that have fallen into the second stack _A2 and the products in the first stack _A1 are simultaneously transported to the product supply machine _A1A2 of the cartoning machine _. By moving the products in _A1 forward 5 inches, it becomes easier to accept the next products and continuous stacking becomes possible.

The cartoning machine's A, B, and AB are product buckets with a 6-inch pitch, the A and B filling machines are placed at 156 inches (≒ 3.9624 m) or more, the total number of product buckets is an integer multiple of 4, and A and B are placed exclusively for each. There are two product feeders, A ₁ A ₂ for the A filling machine and B ₁ B ₂ for the B filling machine, A ₁ A ₂ and B ₁ B _2, each with a 12-inch pitch, the previous process accumulation section accumulates at a width of 80 mm, the feeder narrows the width to 77 mm and drops it into the product bucket width of 80 mm. The timing of the cartoning machine's feeder and product bucket is as follows: the product feeder speed is 30 pieces/min for A ₁ A ₂ and 30 pieces/min for B ₁ B. ₂ also have a speed of 30 pieces/min each, for a total of 120 pieces/min. 30 rotation shafts are newly installed on either the product bucket or carton bucket drive shaft of the cartoning machine. One disk each for A and B is attached to the shaft, two holes are drilled on the circumference at a 180° pitch on the plate, and one sensor is attached to each. Product feeders _A1A2 and _B1B2 are installed at the same pitch positions of _A1A2 and _{B1B2 ,} with accumulation at a _{12 inch} pitch, and the product bucket width is 77 mm. The bottom plate of the bucket is divided into _two to make a blade plate, and shafts and mounting sprockets are attached to both sides. A servo motor shaft is attached in front of _A1 and a return shaft is attached to the rear of _A2 . The sprockets are attached to each of the blade plates, and a chain is crossed over the sprockets attached to the blade plates, and the two plates of the blade plate are _{A1A1 and A2A2 .} The sprocket through which the chain passes rotates in the opposite direction, allowing the blades to rotate 80 degrees; _B1 and _B2 are installed in the same way. The centre of the blade, the centre of the product bucket, the sensor on the disc and the sensor position of the hole are aligned; in this state, the speed of the cartoning machine is increased by a few percent; when the hopper detects the product, the blade rotates 80 degrees, allowing the product to fall without flying out into the product bucket.

The product bucket has a plate attached with a single #60 attachment chain, a 1.8 mm groove with dimensions of 80 ^mm - 77 ^mm cut into the plate, and a 1.8 mm SUS plate is inserted and secured with bolts and nuts, creating a fixed bucket with no unevenness or gaps, with only the height varying.

The cartons are removed from the carton hopper by a rotating suction type. The carton pitch is 6 inches, and the length of the suction cup 180° is 12 inches. It operates at a speed of 120 cartons per minute. The carton lift 4 is a method in which the carton is lifted using the guide plate in front of the carton bucket as a reference.

If it is made into a sprocket and rotates at 50 revolutions per minute, it can be used as a mounting shaft for the disks. (2) Disks for cartoning machines

is used as a 10-rotation shaft, a ^{# 40} sprocket with 45 teeth is attached to this shaft, a parallel shaft is made and a 15-tooth sprocket is attached to that shaft, the speed is increased to 30 revolutions, and disks for A and B are attached to the shaft. Two holes are drilled at 180° and one sensor is attached to each.

As one cartoning machine and one caser are used and two filling machines are connected, the investment amount is less than that for two lines and the actual operating time is 400 minutes, so the rationalization effect is that the working time per 1,000 units will be 24 hours for three people, 24 ÷ (120 x 400 ÷ 1,000) = 0.5 (hours), which is an estimated labor cost of 0.5 hours.

The stick filler is vertical and discharges from a low position of 400H, with 12 intermittent rows and a speed of 50 cycles/minute, discharging 600 sticks per minute. Cleaning is an absolute requirement for a powder filler, so a multi-row ascending conveyor is needed, which receives the product horizontally and rises at an angle of 60° before returning it to horizontal and discharging. For a product length of 145 mm, one link of #60 is 19.05 mm, and 10 links of chain are 190.5 mm, with board pillars set up on the left and right sides of the frame with one pitch, one sprocket with 30 teeth each is attached at the top and bottom, and one chain is attached on each side with 16 pitches, and the upper horizontal R part of the R part has the diameter of the sprocket pitch circle as the radius of the R part, and the R part is one pitch long at an elevation angle of 60°.
Sprocket No. 60, 30 teeth, ^181.9φ DP, R section is 181.9R, the cross plate attached to the chain is 190.5 per pitch, A at the front and B at the rear, 10+A+B=190.5, dimension B is more than 1/2 the product length L, the length that will not protrude at the R section and will be discharged smoothly at the discharge section, confirmed by testing. The plate width is 12 rows, product guide and stop plate are attached, and it is discharged with intermittent operation at a speed of 19m/min in a 1.2 second cycle.

A plate, B plate, and 12 plates with a width of 50 mm are placed in a 90° direction.

A timing belt with a servo motor is installed below the front, and plate A is attached to the forward side and plate B is attached to the return side, and when it moves 10 mm, the product will fall onto the pin conveyor below. The total length of the pin conveyor is an integer multiple of 12 pitches (63.5 x 12), and the drive shaft of the pin conveyor is a sprocket with 48 teeth and number of teeth Z of (4 x 12). A disk is attached to the drive shaft, 12 holes are drilled at 30° pitch on its circumference, and a sensor is attached. The timing of the product falling from the chute, which is the same as the filling machine's rotation speed of 50, is aligned with the center position of the pin conveyor and the position of the holes in the disk, and in this state the pin conveyor drive speed is increased by a few percent.
The sensor detects 12 times for one product cycle, and at the first detection, the timing belt servo motor is turned on and off 10 mm, and the product falls. The pin conveyor is driven from the bottom to the top, and the pitch is increased from 63.5 mm to 127 mm. The pins slide along the plate while moving forward. The slide plate is drilled with a pitch of 17 inches, with two holes of 80 mm width for product drop. The front two holes are processed into a lattice shape, allowing the slide plate to move 80 mm back and forth. The first hole is hole A and the second hole is hole _A2 . Slide bearings are attached to each of the two slide plates, and two sets of timing belt conveyors with servo motors are attached to each. The holes open and close when the sensor is turned on and off. A counter sensor is attached, and 10 products are placed in hole A, which is drilled at the count of 10, and the hole is closed by turning it on and off. At the next count signal, 10 products fall into hole _A2 , and this process is repeated in sequence. The products in hole A advance 5 inches as they fall, and accumulation A The stacked _{products A1} and _A2 are moved to the next process at the same time as the stacked _{products A2} arrive, and are discharged at a pitch of 12 inches at the same time. The stacked products _{A1 and A2} are transported and supplied to the supplying device _A1 and _A2 of the cartoning machine at a speed of 600÷10÷2=30 times per minute. The filling machine B is also installed in the same way, and supplies the products to the supplying device _B1 and _B2 of the cartoning machine.

The cartoning machine's bucket pitch is 6 inches, the product bucket is structured so that there are no gaps between the protrusions and recesses, and the guide plate is angled 1.5 mm on one side. For product supply machines _A1 and _A2 , the receiving plate at the bottom of the hopper is divided in half to form a vane plate, shafts are attached to both sides and sprockets are attached to the shafts, a servo motor shaft is attached in front of _A1 and a return shaft is attached to the back of _A2 , and sprockets are attached to both shafts. A chain is passed crosswise through the two sprockets of _A1 and _A2 and passed in the direction that rotates the vane plate 80 degrees. When it is turned on and off, rotating 80 degrees, the product will fall without flying out. Supply machines _B1 and _B2 are installed in the same way.

円板をＡ供機用、Ｂ供給機用各一枚取付、１８０°ピッチ２穴を明け、センサーを各々１ヶ取付、Ａ_１Ａ_２供給機のセンター円板の検出位置、製品バケットのセンターを各々合わせるその位置でカートニング機のスピートを数パーセント増速すると
１回転すると、２回検出最始の検出で供給機Ａ_１Ａ_２は稼動し製品は製品バケットに落下する、この方式では、供給機Ａ_１Ａ_２はＡのバケットに落下する早い方に落下するためＡの場所は一定しない、又増速分空バケットも発生す、この方式でよりスムーズに安定化し、ジャミングの頻度は減少する方式、Ｂ_１Ｂ_２も同様にセットする。The product buckets of the cartoning machine are ABAB and the total number of buckets is an integer multiple of 4 buckets. The pitch between the A filling machine and the B filling machine is 156 inches (3962 mm) or more. The supply machine A ₁ A ₂ , the supply machine B ₁ B ₂

One disk is attached each for the A supply machine and one for the B supply machine, two holes are drilled at 180° pitch, and one sensor is attached to each. The detection position of the center disk of the _A1 and _A2 supply machines is aligned with the center of the product bucket, and the speed of the cartoning machine is increased by a few percent at that position. After one rotation, it will detect twice, and at the first detection, supply machines _A1 and _A2 will start operating and the product will drop into the product bucket. With this method, supply machines _A1 and _A2 will drop into the A bucket whichever is faster, so the location of A will not be constant, and empty buckets will also occur when the speed is increased. This method provides smoother stabilization and reduces the frequency of jamming. Set _B1 and _B2 in the same way.

If you use a 48-tooth sprocket for the Proget, you can make it coaxial with the mounting disc and attach the sensor.

If a parallel shaft with a disk is installed on the shaft and the pitch is 6 inches, 152.4, then chains of size 60 or 80 are possible. #60 8 ^teeth x 120 = 960 = 96 ^teeth x 10 = 32 ^teeth x 30
#80 6 ^teeth x 120 ^pieces/min = 720 = 72 ^teeth x 10 = 24 ^teeth x 30 The drive shaft rotation speed is tripled to 10 rpm with a #40 chain, 45 teeth, and 30 rpm with 15 teeth on the parallel shaft. Two discs, A and B, need to be drilled with 180 pitch holes and two sensors attached, and two sensors each need to be installed. The cartoning machine can be used with either #60 or #80.

The cartons can be removed at a speed of 120 pieces per minute, and are raised by rotating two suction pads with a two-head system. The cartons are raised by "applying" them to the guide plate in front of the carton bucket, and the cartons are moved at twice the speed of the carton bucket, which rotates and pushes them in. The products are pushed into the cartons, the flaps are closed, hot melt is applied, the flaps are folded and crimped, and one-time cartoning is performed. The number is checked by an auto checker, the specified amount is accumulated, and the cartons are packed into cardboard boxes. The line is completed by turning the carton 90 degrees, and this is a production system with 0.5 the labor costs.

The pitch of the A and B filling machines in terms of the total number of buckets is 156 inches (3.9624 mm) or more, and the _{A1 and A2} feeders are set at a 12-inch pitch, and the _{B1 and B2} feeders are set in the same way. The drive shaft of the product bucket or

Plate A. Attach disk B, drill two holes at 180° pitch on each, and attach one sensor to each. The cartoning machine has 6-inch pitch, and for #60 chains, 8 links per minute, 120 pitch, 120 x 8 = 960 links, 96 teeth, 10 revolutions. A parallel shaft is installed on the shaft that is being used, a #40 sprocket with 45 teeth is installed on the 10 rotation shaft, and a #40 sprocket with 15 teeth is installed on the newly installed shaft, resulting in a 30 rotation shaft (6 x 120 = 960 = 96 x 10) (10 x 45 = 30 x 15). The product supply machine _A1A2 has a 12 inch pitch, _and the _A1 supply machine divides the 77 mm wide receiving plate into two equal parts, attaches shafts to both sides of each plate, and installs sprockets on those shafts. _A2 is also equipped with sprockets, and the front and rear drive servo motor shafts and the rear return shaft each have sprockets attached. The sprockets _{of A1A2} have chains crossed over them, and when the damper rotates 80 degrees, the products fall from the supply _{machine A1A2} into the product bucket A4. In this state, the damper _A1A The center position of No. ₂ is aligned with the center position of the hole in the disk attached to the No. 30 rotating shaft, and the speed of this cartoning machine is increased by a few percent from the speed of 120 pieces/min. When the product is detected in the hopper, the damper opens and closes by 80 degrees. The _{B1 and B2} feeders are set in the same way. The product bucket is smooth and has no gaps, and is inclined 1.5 mm on one side. The carton is raised using a one-rotation, two-suction method, and the carton bucket has a 6-inch pitch, while the suction pad has a 12-inch pitch.

If the line is turned 90 degrees the line is complete (C). The productivity of the line is 1200 bottles/minute with two filling machines. 1200/10 = 120 units/minute, production operation time is 400 minutes. Assuming 3 workers working 24 hours, the work time per 1000 units is 24 ÷ (120 x 400 ÷ 1000) = 24/48 = 0.5 (hours). If the hourly rate is 3000 yen, the processing cost per box is 1.5 yen. A production system characterized by producing product (A) with equipment (B) in productivity (C) of 0.5 labor hours.
