Description

Machine for filling boxes with bags mesh or similar.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a machine for filling boxes with mesh bags or similar, of those used normally in the agricultural sector to contain certain products, being able to extend its use in all those sectors of the industry in which its application.

The object of the invention is to facilitate and optimize the packaging operations of the mesh inside the boxes, these being normally of cardboard or plastic

Background of the invention

Filling cardboard boxes or other appropriate material, with mesh bags containing products agricultural or other items, it is normally done manually in order to properly take advantage of the volume of the box and optimize the positioning of the bags and their distribution uniform inside the box, because due to irregularity of those and to the shape of the box it becomes essential a Manual operation to properly locate the bags.

However, systems are also known automatic to carry out this operation of placement and of filling, although of very little use as a result of its complexity and therefore of its high economic cost, in addition to requiring a constant maintenance as a result of said complexity, for what normally is used to operators and the filling of manual form

Description of the invention

The machine of the invention has some particularities that determine a structurally simple system and of minimum maintenance, but that performs the filling of the boxes highly efficient, being also designed to be able to adapt without problems to any packaging line, resulting compatible and complementary with artificial vision means and heavy products.

In that sense, the machine of the invention is constitutes from a static main structure on the that two movable frames are mounted with respect to the main structure, in one of whose racks, located in a upper level, a conveyor is provided that at its end incorporates support and tilt orientation means for a receiving hopper of the mesh bags to be placed in the inside the boxes that run on another conveyor located On a lower level.

The means of support and guidance for hopper, constitute actuators that allow varying the tilt of the hopper itself for emptying the bags mesh on the boxes, counting said hopper in its mouth with fins as baffles to facilitate the fall of the product, that is, of the bags and their corresponding placement in the boxes

The hopper, in addition to the fins referred to, counts with lateral lugs through which it relates to the actuators so that they can vary the inclination of the own hopper and place the discharge mouth of it in the area of the desired box.

Another novelty feature of the machine is that the boxes are dragged in one or two conveyors, located collaterally to a platform of positioning of the box itself for filling it, with means that make it possible to vary the inclination of said platform and therefore from the box itself, when receiving the product.

Finally, it remains to be said that the displacement that can make the racks of the referred conveyors Regarding the main structure of the machine, it will allow Adaptation to different types of box formats.

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, accompanies the present descriptive report of a set of drawings based on the which innovations and advantages of The machine object of the invention.

Description of the preferred embodiment

As you can see in the referred figures, the machine of the invention comprises a main structure 1 planned for its location in an appropriate place and remain static on the floor. In that structure two frames 2 and 3 are mounted, both being movable and located according to different levels, the frame 2 being on a higher level and the frame 3 on a lower level.

A conveyor is mounted on the frame 2 4, at whose end it is linked, through actuators 5, a receiving hopper 6 of the mesh bags to be introduced in boxes 7 established on another conveyor 8 or 8 'mounted on the bottom frame 3.

The actuators 5 established on a support 9, allow tilt orientation to the hopper 6 itself in order to that the mouth of the latter can be arranged in correspondence with the box 7 to fill.

The linking of that hopper 6 to the support 9 is made through lateral lugs 10 provided therein, also counting on the mouth itself with some lateral fins 11 as baffles which, in combination with the inclination that You can purchase the hopper 6 itself, allow you to guide and facilitate fall of the mesh bags over the appropriate area of the box 7 that it passes on its conveyor 8 or 8 'through the lower area with respect to the situation of said hopper 6.

Under which frames 2 and 3 are movable with respect to the main structure 1, the operability of the machine can be adapted according to the format of the boxes 7 to fill out.

For its part, the conveyor or conveyors lower 8 and 8 'for boxes 7, are materialized in this case by rollers. Between both conveyors 8 and 8 'goes located a platform 12 where the box 7 is inclined for its filled, said platform 12 being oscillating with respect to its axis longitudinal, and thereby vary the inclination of the box 7 to allow to position it, in certain cases and / or circumstances, facing the discharge mouth of the hopper 6. The arrangement of the platform 12 allows a quick change of the box and prevent the continuous flow of input from being cut off product to the box filling machine itself.

As is evident, the conveyors 4, 8 and 8 ' will be driven by respective engines, as well as the displacement of frames 2 and 3, settling in this case, in the main structure, the appropriate guides 13 and 14 for the displacement of frames 2 and 3.
