MEMORIA DESCRIPTIVA.DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY.

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN. La presente invención se refiere a un suministrador de comprimidos, consistentes en aditivos sólidos, a expensas de un almacén o depósito suministrador de dichos comprimidos, de manera que éstos son suministrados de forma dosificada, unitaria o múltiple, a una serie de envases o recipientes utilizados en la industria alimentaria y contenedores de otros productos a los que se precisa incorporar los aditivos sólidos citados.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a supplier of tablets, consisting of solid additives, at the expense of a store or reservoir supplier of said tablets, so that they are supplied in a dosed, unit or multiple form, to a series of containers or containers used in the food industry and containers of other products that need to incorporate the mentioned solid additives.

El objeto de la invención es asegurar un proceso dé suministro rápido de dichos comprimidos, de forma totalmente automática, y sin una excesiva compacidad en dichos comprimidos, que pudiera repercutir negativamente en la posterior disolución de los mismos. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNThe object of the invention is to ensure a rapid delivery process of said tablets, completely automatically, and without excessive compactness in said tablets, which could have a negative impact on their subsequent dissolution. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el ámbito de aplicación práctica de la invención, el de aportación de aditivos alimentarios a envases contenedores de productos asimismo alimentarios, se utilizan fundamentalmente aditivos en fase líquida debido a los problemas de alimentación-dosificación que supone la utilización de aditivos enIn the field of practical application of the invention, the provision of food additives to container containers of food products, mainly additives are used in liquid phase due to the problems of feeding-dosing that involves the use of additives in

fase sólida.solid phase

De forma más concreta en líneas de media o alta velocidad y para conseguir una funcionalidad apropiada, se hace actualmente imprescindible la utilización de material vibrante tradicional, para desplazamiento de los aditivos alimentarios en forma de comprimidos, lo que supone que dichos comprimidos deben tener una compresión alta, para evitar su desmoronamiento por efecto de la citada vibración.More specifically in medium or high speed lines and to achieve proper functionality, it is currently essential to use traditional vibrating material, for the displacement of food additives in the form of tablets, which means that said tablets they must have a high compression, to avoid their collapse due to the aforementioned vibration.

Sin embargo la compresión de dichos comprimidos debe ser baja, para facilitar su dilución en el ambiente húmedo del envase, razón por la cual y como anteriormente se ha dicho, en este ámbito se utilizan fundamentalmente los aditivos en fase líquida.However, the compression of said tablets must be low, to facilitate dilution in the humid environment of the package, which is why and as previously stated, liquid additives are used primarily in this area.

Por otro lado, existe una legislación que limita la cantidad máxima de aditivos tanto en cantidad como en tipología, lo que dificulta el empleo de excipientes y aglomerantes en las cantidades precisas para conseguir altas resistencias al desmoronamiento.On the other hand, there is legislation that limits the maximum amount of additives both in quantity and type, which makes it difficult to use excipients and binders in the precise amounts to achieve high resistance to crumbling.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El suministrador-dosificador que la invención propone permite el empleo de aditivos alimentarios en fase sólida, concretamente en forma de comprimidos, en un régimen de distribución de media y alta velocidad, con bajo nivel de compresión en dichos comprimidos, para facilitar su posterior disolución, y sin que se produzca la degradación de los mismos durante su manipulación.The supplier-doser that the invention proposes allows the use of solid phase food additives, specifically in the form of tablets, in a medium and high speed distribution regime, with low compression level in said tablets, to facilitate their subsequent dissolution, and without degradation of the same during handling.

Para ello y de forma más concreta el suministrador-dosificador está estructurado a partir de un almacén de comprimidos, de capacidad apropiada para que la frecuencia de recarga del mismo sea también apropiada, almacén en cuyo fondo, determinante de una rampa de retención, se establece una abertura lateral para salida de los comprimidos, en forma de capa, hacia una rampa de bajada, de escasa inclinación, donde se sitúa un vibrador que transmite a dicha rampa una leve vibración, suficiente para que se produzca el desplazamiento gravitatorio de los comprimidos pero a la vez suficientemente pequeña para no comprometer la compacidad de tales comprimidos.For this, and more specifically, the dispenser-dispenser is structured from a store of tablets, of appropriate capacity so that the recharge frequency thereof is also appropriate, a store at whose bottom, determining a retention ramp, is established a lateral opening for the exit of the tablets, in the form of a layer, towards a ramp of descent, of little inclination, where a vibrator is placed that transmits to said ramp a slight vibration, sufficient so that the gravitational displacement of the tablets but at the same time small enough not to compromise the compactness of such tablets.

Dicha rampa de bajada, establecida en correspondencia con el fondo del propio almacén, el cual adopta una disposición inclinada, desemboca en un mecanismo extractor en el que un elemento motor actúa sobre una pareja de alabes que giran en sentido contrario, y que determinan entre sí un paso unitario para los comprimidos, los cuales llegan en alineación a un segundo almacén, en forma de conducto cerrado, provisto de sensores que determinan en cada momento la cantidad de pastillas o comprimidos existentes en su interior, y que se cierra inferiormente mediante una pareja de cilindros neumáticos, cuyos vastagos actúan en el interior del conducto-almacén y lo hacen alternativamente, de manera que mientras uno de ellos soporta los comprimidos existentes en el citado conducto almacén, con excepción del primero o inferior, el otro deja caer este comprimido terminal hacia el correspondiente recipiente a dosificar, que pasará abajo del citado conducto almacén y cuya presencia será también detectada por un sensor.Said descent ramp, established in correspondence with the bottom of the warehouse itself, which adopts an inclined arrangement, leads to an extractor mechanism in which a motor element acts on a pair of blades that rotate in the opposite direction, and which determine each other a unit step for the tablets, which arrive in alignment to a second warehouse, in the form of a closed duct, provided with sensors that determine at any time the amount of tablets or tablets existing inside, and that is closed inferiorly by a couple of pneumatic cylinders, whose rods act inside the storage duct and do it alternately, so that while one of them supports the existing tablets in said storage duct, with the exception of the first or lower one, the other drops this terminal tablet towards the corresponding container to be dosed, which will pass under said storage duct and whose presence will be also detected by a sensor.

El dispositivo puede ser unitario, suministrando un comprimido a un recipiente en cada ciclo operativo del mismo, o bien puede ser múltiple con varios conductos-almacén y varios mecanismos extractores que reciben las pastillas de un almacén único, en cuyo caso puede efectuarse simultáneamente la aportación dosificada de aditivos a varios recipientes.The device can be unitary, supplying a tablet to a container in each operating cycle thereof, or it can be multiple with several ducts-warehouse and several extractor mechanisms that receive the pads from a single warehouse, in which case the contribution can be made simultaneously dosed additives to several containers.

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como el suministrador-dosificador que la invención propone está constituido a partir de un almacén de comprimidos (1), con una capacidad importante para que la frecuencia de recarga del mismo se distancie convenientemente en el tiempo, montado en posición elevada sobre un chasis de sustentación (2)In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the supplier-doser that the invention proposes is constituted from a store of tablets (1), with an important capacity for the Recharge frequency thereof conveniently distances over time, mounted in a raised position on a lift chassis (2)

, almacén que configura un depósito inclinado provisto en su seno de una rampa de retención (3) por encima de la cual se sitúan indiscriminadamente los comprimidos (4), los cuales pasan a la zona inferior de dicha rampa (3) por ¡a abertura (5) definida en correspondencia con el borde más bajo de la misma, • para alcanzar el fondo (6) del almacén (1), inclinado en contraposición a la rampa (3) y por el que los comprimidos (4) descienden también indiscriminadamente pero en un flujo laminar, facilitando su desplazamiento la propia configuración de los comprimidos, especialmente visible en el detalle de la figura 2, y la existencia bajo el fondo del almacén (1) de un vibrador (7) que suministra a dicho fondo (6) y consecuentemente a los comprimidos (4) una muy ligera vibración, que facilita su desplazamiento gravitatorio hacia un mecanismo extractor (8) situado a la salida del almacén o depósito (1). Este mecanismo extractor (8), especialmente visible en la figura 3, consiste en un motor (9) que acciona directamente un alabe (10) y en cuyo eje está provisto de una rueda dentada (11) para transmisión sincronizada del movimiento, a través de otra rueda dentada (12), a un segundo alabe (10'), que gira en sentido contrario al alabe (10). Estos alabes (10-10'), tal como se observa en la figura 4, adoptan una configuración triangular equilátera de vértices redondeados, están angularmente desfasados y debidamente distanciados para establecer entre ellos un paso unitario para las pastillas (4), que se ven así forzadas a salir en hilera del mecanismo extractor para alcanzar un conducto-almacén (13). En este conducto almacén, también con una considerable inclinación, incluso más acentuada, se establece un mecanismo de expulsión montado sobre un soporte (14), situado en las proximidades de su extremidad inferior y libre, y consistente en una pareja de cilindros, concretamente un cilindro de cabeza (15) y un cilindro de cola (16), muy próximos, de manera que a partir por ejemplo de la situación mostrada en la figura 6, en la que el cilindro de cabeza (15) está reteniendo toda la alineación de tabletas (4), cuando desciende el cilindro de cola (16) su vastago se sitúa entre la última y la penúltima tabletas (4), tal como aparece iniciado en la citada figura 6 y a término de maniobra según muestra la figura 7, el pistón de cabeza (15) se retrae dejando caer la última tableta (4) hacia el recipiente (17) a dosificar, que previamente se habrá situado bajo el mecanismo de expulsión (14) y cuya presencia habrá sido detectada por un sensor (18)., warehouse that configures an inclined tank provided within it with a retention ramp (3) above which the tablets (4) are indiscriminately located, which pass to the lower area of said ramp (3) through the opening (5) defined in correspondence with the lower edge of the same, • to reach the bottom (6) of the warehouse (1), inclined as opposed to the ramp (3) and through which the tablets (4) also descend indiscriminately but in a laminar flow, facilitating its displacement the configuration of the tablets, especially visible in the detail of figure 2, and the existence under the bottom of the store (1) of a vibrator (7) that supplies said bottom (6) ) and consequently to the tablets (4) a very slight vibration, which facilitates their gravitational movement towards an extractor mechanism (8) located at the exit of the warehouse or reservoir (1). This extractor mechanism (8), especially visible in Figure 3, consists of a motor (9) that directly drives a vane (10) and on whose axis it is provided with a toothed wheel (11) for synchronized transmission of the movement, through of another cogwheel (12), to a second blade (10 '), which rotates in the opposite direction to the blade (10). These blades (10-10 '), as seen in Figure 4, adopt an equilateral triangular configuration of rounded vertices, are angularly offset and duly spaced apart to establish a unit pitch for the pads (4), which are visible thus forced to leave the extraction mechanism in a row to reach a duct-warehouse (13). In this storage duct, also with a considerable inclination, even more pronounced, an ejection mechanism is installed mounted on a support (14), located in the vicinity of its lower and free extremity, and consisting of a pair of cylinders, specifically a head cylinder (15) and a tail cylinder (16), very close, so that, for example, from the situation shown in figure 6, in which the head cylinder (15) is retaining the entire alignment of tablets (4), when the tail cylinder (16) descends, its rod is located between the last and the penultimate tablets (4), as it appears initiated in the aforementioned figure 6 and at the end of the maneuver as shown in figure 7, the piston head (15) retracts dropping the last tablet (4) to the container (17) to be dosed, which will have previously been placed under the ejection mechanism (14) and whose presence will have been detected by a sensor (18).

Como complemento de la estructura descrita en el aparato participan una pareja de inyectores de aire (19) y (20), que eliminan el posible polvo que pueda desprenderse de los comprimidos (4) en su movimiento, a la vez que un sensor (21) situado en el conducto-almacén (13), detecta la necesidad de alimentación de comprimidos hacia dicho conducto-almacén.As a complement to the structure described in the apparatus, a pair of air injectors (19) and (20) participate, which eliminate the possible dust that can be released from the tablets (4) in their movement, as well as a sensor (21 ) located in the conduit-warehouse (13), detects the need for feeding tablets to said conduit-warehouse.

El alimentador-dosificador de la invención trae consigo una serie de ventajas que se centran fundamentalmente en los siguientes aspectos:The feeder-doser of the invention brings with it a series of advantages that focus primarily on the following aspects:

Permite dosificar comprimidos incluso en líneas con emisión de vapor de agua, al emplear los citados inyectores de aire (19) y (20) que mantienen una sobrepresión en la zona de trabajo. Elimina el factor humano del proceso de dosificación, descargando al operario de esta tarea, sin más participación que la aportación de nuevos comprimidos cuando el almacén (1) se vacía.It allows dosing tablets even in lines with water vapor emission, by using the aforementioned air injectors (19) and (20) that maintain an overpressure in the work area. Eliminates the human factor of the dosing process, unloading the operator of this task, without more participation than the contribution of new tablets when the warehouse (1) is emptied.

Evita una dosificación o aportación innecesaria de comprimidos cuando por algún problema en la cadena de alimentación no se ha situado un recipiente (17) bajo el mecanismo de expulsión (14) y, consecuentemente, no ha sido detectado por el sensor (18).It avoids unnecessary dosing or supply of tablets when, due to a problem in the supply chain, a container (17) has not been placed under the ejection mechanism (14) and, consequently, has not been detected by the sensor (18).

Se mejora la seguridad del proceso y el producto.The safety of the process and the product is improved.

Se mejora el medio ambiente al reducir las emisiones al entorno de líquido de gobierno con componentes ácidos, etc. The environment is improved by reducing emissions to the environment of government liquid with acid components, etc.
