Description

  The present invention relates to a system for attaching a straw to a container filled with, for example, a beverage. More specifically, when packing a plurality of containers with straws attached together, the straws attached to the containers to be packed at the same time (or the places where the straws are attached to the containers) are directed in the same direction. The present invention relates to an apparatus for adjusting the direction of a container.

  In the system for attaching straws to containers filled with beverages, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a plurality of (for example, three) containers 2 to which straws 1 are attached are packaged as one pack P (packaging). The film is indicated by the symbol F), so-called “multi-shrink” may be performed.

Here, in the multi-shrinked beverage container, it is desirable to arrange all the straw pasting positions.
In the multi-shrink beverage container 2, for example, the package F is torn and taken out with the back of a finger or the like, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. L) is formed on one side (in a container arranged in triples of multi-shrinked packs). If there is a straw 1 on the side where the “cut (perforation)” L is formed, the perforation L is difficult to break. Therefore, in the multi-shrinked beverage container 2, it is preferable that the straw 1 is stuck on the side of the package F where there is no perforation L.
Therefore, it is desirable to adjust the orientation of the container 2 to which the straw 1 is attached before the multi-shrink so that the straw 1 is located on the side without the perforation L.

  Moreover, if the straw sticking positions in the plurality of multi-shrinked containers 2 are aligned, the appearance of the multi-shrinked beverage container pack P is improved, and there is a marketing advantage.

  However, in the conventional system for sticking the straw 1 to the beverage container 2, there is no means for adjusting the orientation of the container 2 to which the straw 1 is attached and aligning the straw sticking positions in the plurality of containers 2.

Other conventional techniques include, for example, folding or folding the flaps in advance, so that the final folding of the flaps can be performed with the required reliability and speed, thereby providing a consistent and high quality beverage container holder. A technique for manufacturing at a high production speed and at a low cost has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
However, the related art does not contribute to the above requirement, that is, to adjust the orientation of the container with the straw attached so that the orientation of the straw attached to the beverage container becomes a certain direction.
JP 2005-500188 gazette

  The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-described problems of the prior art. The orientation of the beverage container with the straw attached thereto is adjusted, and the straw attached to the plurality of containers combined into one pack is provided. It aims at providing the direction adjustment apparatus of the straw sticking container which can arrange direction in a fixed direction.

  The direction adjusting device (201) of the straw sticking container of the present invention includes a moving device (for example, the belt conveyor 3) for moving the beverage container (2) to which the straw (1) is stuck, and the vicinity of both edges of the belt conveyor (3). And the first container rotation mechanism (4) and the second container rotation mechanism (5) for rotating the beverage container (2), and the movement apparatus provided at both edges of the movement apparatus (belt conveyor 3). (3) has a guide member (guides 6A, 6B) extending in the moving direction, and the guide member (6A, 6B) is in contact with the straw (1) stuck by the rotation of the beverage container (2). Then, it is comprised so that the further rotation of the drink container (2) may be restrict | limited (Claim 1).

  Moreover, in the direction adjustment apparatus (201) of the straw sticking container of this invention, a said 1st container rotation mechanism (4) is a 1st contact member (for example, rubber roller with a bearing) for contacting a drink container side surface (2s) 41) is a piston cylinder mechanism (42) provided at the tip, and the piston (piston rod 43) of the piston cylinder mechanism (42) has a first contact member (41) in contact with the container side surface (2s). It is preferably configured to extend (Claim 2: First to third embodiments).

  Alternatively, in the direction adjusting device (201) of the straw sticking container of the present invention, the second container rotation mechanism (5) is a second contact member (for example, a rubber roller with a bearing) that contacts the container side surface (2s) while rotating. 51), and the second contact member (51) is preferably configured to be movable in a direction away from the moving device (for example, the belt conveyor 3) (Claim 3: First Embodiment). (4th Embodiment, 6th Embodiment).

  In the present invention, the first container rotation mechanism (8A) and / or the second container rotation mechanism (8B) have belts (84, 84) that circulate while contacting the side surface (2s) of the beverage container. (Claim 4: Fifth embodiment).

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the first container rotation mechanism (7) has a protruding member (71) having a smooth curved surface (71f), and the curved surface (71f) of the protruding member (71) is a beverage. Preferably, the container is disposed so as to be in contact with the side surface (2s) of the container (claim 5: fourth embodiment).

  In addition, in the present invention, the first container rotation mechanism (9) preferably has a member (96) that contacts the container side surface (2s) while rotating (Claim 6: Sixth). Embodiment).

  According to the direction adjusting device (201) of the straw sticking container of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the beverage container (2) is moved by the first container rotation mechanism (4) and the second container rotation mechanism (5). When the straw (1) affixed by the rotation of the beverage container (2) is brought into contact with the beverage container (2), the further rotation of the beverage container (2) is restricted by the action of the guide members (6A, 6B). By adjusting the direction of the beverage container (2) to which (1) is attached, the direction of the straw (1) attached to the plurality of containers collected in one pack can be aligned in a certain direction.

  The second container rotation mechanism (5) has a second contact member (for example, a rubber roller 51 with a bearing) that contacts the container side surface (2s) while rotating, and the second contact member (51 ) Is configured to be movable in a direction away from the moving device (for example, the belt conveyor 3), and further, the position where the straw (1) is attached in the beverage container (2) is the same as shown in FIG. Can be a place.

  Alternatively, the first container rotation mechanism (8A) and / or the second container rotation mechanism (8B) circulates while contacting the side surface (2s) of the beverage container by driving the motor (81). Therefore, the direction of the straws affixed to the plurality of containers put together in one pack by the rotation of the belt (84, 84) can be made uniform.

  Or since the 1st container rotation mechanism (9) has the member (belt 96) which contacts a container side surface (2s), rotating by a motor (94) drive, rotation of the member (belt 96) is carried out. Thus, the direction of the straw (1) attached to the plurality of containers collected in one pack can be aligned in a certain direction.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
1 and 2, a direction adjusting device for a straw sticking container indicated by reference numeral 201 as a whole is a moving device for moving a beverage container 2 to which a straw 1 is stuck, for example, a belt conveyor 3 and both edges of the belt conveyor 3. It has the 1st container rotation mechanism 4 and the 2nd container rotation mechanism 5 which were provided in the vicinity and made the beverage container 2 rotate.

  As shown in FIG. 3, guides 6A and 6B are provided at both edges of the belt conveyor 3 on which the straw sticking container 2 in a state where the beverage is filled in the container is transported. The dimension Wg of the sandwiched passage width is larger than the diameter of the container 2 alone, but the diameter of the container 2 in the state where the straw 1 is attached to the container 2 and the diameter of the container 2 passing through the center of the straw 1. Are formed smaller than a dimension Ws including the diameter of the straw 1.

  The arrow Y1 in FIGS. 1 and 3 indicates the traveling direction of the container. Although not shown, the mechanism for attaching the straw 1 to the container 2 is arranged on the upstream side of the left hand in FIGS. 1 and 3. And the mechanism which multishrinks (the container which stuck three straws together and wraps with a film) is arrange | positioned in the downstream of FIG.1 and FIG.3.

In FIG. 3, 2S1 to 2S4 are states in which the containers with attached straws are shown in the order of flow. In the initial state in which the containers 2 of 2S1 are placed on the belt conveyor 3, a mechanism for attaching a straw 1 (not shown). As a characteristic, the straw 1 is affixed to the rear side (range indicated by the arrow A in FIG. 3) of the container.
For example, when it is desired to align the straw 1 at a position as indicated by the container 2S4, in the state of 2S3, a pair of forces as indicated by arrows F1 and F2 (a pair of forces that cooperate, not just a couple of forces) Is added. When a pair of forces F1 and F2 are applied, the container 2 is rotated or rotated instantaneously by the presence of the guides 6A and 6B and the rotation of a rubber roller which is the configuration of the second container rotation mechanism described later, and a straw The position of 1 can be aligned with the state indicated by the container 2S4.
Here, the guides 6 </ b> A and 6 </ b> B are configured to restrict further rotation of the beverage container 2 when the straw 1 attached by rotation of the beverage container 2 to which the straw 1 is attached contacts.

  In a state where the sticking position of the straw 1 in the container 2 is aligned like a container indicated by reference numeral 2S4, the container 2 (the container in which the sticking position of the straw 1 is aligned) is sent to the multipack packaging side (arrow Y1 side).

  1 and 2 again, the first container rotation mechanism 4 for applying the force F1 of the pair of forces F1 and F2 shown in FIG. 3 to the container and the force F2 to the container 2 are applied. The configuration of the second container rotation mechanism 5 will be described in detail.

The first container rotation mechanism 4 includes a piston rod 43 and an air cylinder 42. The air cylinder 42 is attached to the outside of the conveyor frame 31 of the belt conveyor 3 in parallel with the transfer direction of the belt conveyor 3 via two brackets B1.
A pair of radial bearings 44 is disposed at the tip of the piston rod 43 of the air cylinder 42 via a roller bracket B2. The pair of radial bearings 44 is arranged at a certain distance in the vertical direction so that the extension lines of the respective shaft cores coincide with each other, and the rubber roller 41 is fixed to the outer periphery of the outer race (of the radial bearing 44). .

  Although exaggerated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper roller 41 of the pair of rubber rollers 41 is positioned so as to lightly contact the portion 21 having a relatively small diameter above the container 2. The lower roller 41 is disposed at such a position as to lightly contact the constricted portion 22 in the middle of the container 2. And when the roller 41 contacts the container 2, the container 2 performs only rotation (rotation shown by the arrow R of FIG. 3).

The container 2 is conveyed at high speed. The conveyance speed is, for example, about 36,000 pieces per hour. Since the container is moving at such a high speed, if the contact pressure is excessively applied to the container 2 by the roller 41, the container may fall down. Therefore, the roller 41 is disposed so as to lightly contact the container 2.
If the container 2 falls, the upper part of the container falls in the direction opposite to the traveling direction. About the direction orthogonal to the advancing direction, since guide 6A, 6B exists, it cannot fall down (in the direction orthogonal to the advancing direction).

Next, the 2nd container rotation mechanism 5 is demonstrated based on FIG. 1, FIG.
The second container rotation mechanism 5 is attached to the outer surface of the conveyor frame 32 on the side opposite to the side on which the air cylinder 42 is attached (in such a manner that the extension line of the shaft core is common) at two places above and below. A pair of fixed bearings 52, a shaft 53 pivotally supported by the pair of fixed bearings 52, and a swing arm 54 fixed to the upper end of the shaft 53 are provided.

  A radial bearing 56 in which an end portion of a shaft portion 55 is fitted to an inner race is fixed to the tip of the swing arm 54, and a rubber roller 51 is fixed to the outer race side of the radial bearing 56. That is, the rubber roller 51 is rotatably engaged with the shaft portion 55.

  As shown in a partially enlarged view in FIG. 4, a cross-shaped (cross-shaped) rotating blade 57 is fixed to the upper end portion of the rubber roller 51, and an air pipe 58 is provided in the vicinity of the rotating blade 57. Is equipped. The air pipe 58 is provided with an injection hole 58j. The injection hole 58j is away from the center of the belt conveyor 3 from the rotation center of the rotating blade 57 (in the direction of arrow Y2 in FIG. 4), and the flow direction of the belt conveyor 3 They are arranged in the direction opposite to the direction indicated by the arrow Y1 in FIG. Accordingly, when high-pressure air is ejected from the ejection hole 58j of the air pipe 58, the rubber roller 51 integrated with the rotating blade 57 rotates in the clockwise direction.

  An intermediate position in the longitudinal direction of the swing arm 54 and the conveyor frame 32 are engaged by a spring 59. The spring 59 urges the vibrating arm 54 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 1 while the container moves on the belt conveyor 3.

When the rubber roller 51 at the tip of the swing arm 54 contacts the container 2 moving on the belt conveyor 3, it swings counterclockwise in FIG.
In other words, the rubber roller 51 swings counterclockwise in FIG. 1 by being “bounced” by the container. Then, due to the urging force of the spring 59, the arm 54 pivots clockwise (in FIG. 1) about the shaft 53, thereby returning to the position shown in FIG.

  When the rubber roller 51 comes into contact with the container 2, the swing arm 54 and the rubber roller 51 rotate counterclockwise (in FIG. 1) around the shaft 53, and are separated from the container 2 because of the contact with the rubber roller 51. This is to prevent the container 2 from falling due to the movement of the rubber roller 51.

That is, since the lower belt conveyor 3 on which the container 2 is placed is moved to the right side (arrow Y1 direction) in FIG. 1, when the rubber roller 51 is fixed, when the container 2 comes into contact with the roller 51, The container 2 falls down so that the upper end side of the container 2 faces the left side in the figure.
Therefore, as described above, when the rubber roller 51 contacts the container 2, the swing arm 54 and the rubber roller 51 swing counterclockwise (in FIG. 1) around the shaft 53, so that the rubber roller 51 is separated from the container 2. Thus, the movement of the container 2 is not hindered. Therefore, the container 2 is prevented from falling.

  Here, since the rubber roller 51 provided rotatably is always rotated clockwise by receiving a high-pressure air jet (rotation given the rotational force F2 in FIG. 3), the rubber roller 51 and the container 2 are rotated. When contacted, the container 2 can be rotated to forcibly align the position of the straw 1 attached to the container 2 to the position where it contacts the guide 6A.

Here, the rubber roller 41 of the first container rotation mechanism 4 and the rubber roller 51 of the second container rotation mechanism 5 simultaneously contact the container 2 and simultaneously start the action of rotating (spinning) the container 2. preferable.
For example, as a condition for dealing with a high transport speed of about 36000 per hour,
Condition 1: The movable distance of the working member is made as short as possible.
Condition 2: Many high-speed compatible devices are used.
It is important.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
1 to 4, the air cylinder 42 of the first container rotation mechanism 4 is arranged in parallel with the traveling direction of the belt conveyor 3.

  In contrast, in the direction adjusting device 202 for the straw sticking container of the second embodiment in FIG. 5, the central axis of the air cylinder 42 of the first container rotation mechanism 4 </ b> A is slightly relative to the flow direction of the belt conveyor 3. It is arranged at an angle. By arranging the central axis of the air cylinder 42 so as to be slightly inclined with respect to the flow direction of the belt conveyor 3 as described above, the rotation of the container 2 can be facilitated when the piston rod 43 is extended. .

  Other configurations and operational effects in the embodiment of FIG. 5 are the same as those of the first embodiment of FIGS.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The straw sticking container direction adjusting device 203 shown in the third embodiment of FIG. 6 is configured so that two pairs of rubber rollers in the first container rotation mechanism 4 and two rubber rollers in the second container rotation mechanism 5 are provided. Yes. That is, in this embodiment, two pairs of the first container rotation mechanism 4 and the second container rotation mechanism 5 are provided in series in the flow direction of the belt conveyor 3.
By providing two pairs of the first container rotation mechanism 4 and the second container rotation mechanism 5, even when the straw 1 is not arranged at the optimal position in the first container rotation mechanism 4, 5, The straw 1 can be reliably arranged at the optimum position by the second pair of container rotation mechanisms 4 and 5.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 6, the first container rotation mechanism 4 includes an air cylinder 42 and a piston rod 43, and is configured as a so-called “piston-cylinder mechanism”.

On the other hand, in the direction adjustment apparatus 204 of the straw sticking container of 4th Embodiment shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8, the 1st container rotation mechanism shown by the code | symbol 7 as a whole is set as the very simple structure. That is, the first container rotation mechanism 7 has a protruding member 71 having a smooth curved surface 71f, and the protruding member 71 is attached to the conveyor frame 31 via the bracket B3.
And it arrange | positions so that the curved surface 71f of the protrusion member 71 may contact 2s of side surfaces of a drink container.

  In the fourth embodiment configured as such, the manufacturing cost of the entire apparatus can be reduced by reducing the number of parts of the first container rotation mechanism 7 and making the parts simple. In addition, maintainability is improved.

  Other configurations and operational effects in the fourth embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8 are substantially the same as those of the embodiment of FIGS.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.
In each embodiment of FIGS. 1-8, the 1st container rotation mechanism and the 2nd container rotation mechanism are comprised significantly differently.

  On the other hand, in the direction adjustment apparatus 205 of the straw sticking container which concerns on 5th Embodiment shown in FIG.9 and FIG.10, the 1st container rotation mechanism 8A and the 2nd container rotation mechanism 8B have the same structure. It has become.

It is arranged so as to be located slightly near the center of the belt conveyor 3.

The second container rotation mechanism 8B has the same configuration as the first container rotation mechanism 8A, and is disposed at a position symmetrical to the first container rotation mechanism 8A with respect to the center line of the belt conveyor 3.
With this configuration, the apparatus can be simplified with respect to the first embodiment.

Next, a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
In the fifth embodiment of FIGS. 9 and 10, the first container rotation mechanism 8A and the second container rotation mechanism 8B have the same configuration, but in the sixth embodiment of FIG. The container rotation mechanism 9 and the second container rotation mechanism 10 have a clearly different configuration.

In FIG. 11, the direction adjusting device 206 for the straw sticking container of the sixth embodiment includes a first container rotation mechanism 9, and the first container rotation mechanism 9 includes a radial bearing 92 and the radial bearing 92. It has a pair of upper and lower pulleys 93 whose inner periphery is fitted to the outer periphery of the outer race.
