CORNET CONE PACKAGE CUTTING MACHINE FROM PACKAGE BOBBIN

Technical Field

The invention is related to a comet cone package cutting machine from a package bobbin used in the production of cornet cone packages that are used in the packaging of cornet-type icecreams.

The invention is particularly related to a cornet cone package cutting machine which provides that cornet cone packages in bobbin form are cut.

Prior Art

Cornet-type ice-creams are among the top popular ice-creams frequently consumed. These ice-creams basically have conically shaped comets filled with ice-creams having contents such as chocolate, toppings, fruits, nuts etc. Said comets are sold by being placed in sleevelike packages that cover the cornet part.

In the art, the standard cornet cone packages are cut into specific shapes in cutting machines before production and produced by being crimped into a conical shape in crimping machines. In said cutting machines cutting of narrow packages is performed and there are no cylindrical structures which provide for the straightening of the package by stretching it before the cutting process. Depending on the use of narrow packages, the number of cut pieces decreases and errors can occur with the cutting process since sufficient stretching is not provided for the package.

As a result of the research of the literature, document number EP1864791 can be given as an example of the known state of the art. Said document is related to the procedure for the production of conical ice-cream packages. In said invention, the production of the cornet cone packages after a four-step procedure has been mentioned. In the first stage the package bobbin which advances in a straight manner like a mg is divided into specifically shaped stripes by means of a custom knife structure and having been divided into specific shapes the bobbin comes out of the machine in two ways as plane or reverse. In the second stage, the reverse stripe is turned by a turning machine and readied for the cutting machine. In the third stage, the bobbins prepared are transferred to the crimping machine by being subjected to a cutting procedure and in the fourth stage, the pieces coming out of the cutting machine are transformed into cone packages by crimping. In said invention, the package which advances in a straight manner like a rug is cut and brought to a cone shape by being crimped.

In consequence, the presence of the above-mentioned problems and the inefficiency of the present solutions requires a development in the related technical field.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed description the preferred alternatives of the comet cone cutting machine of the invention are described only for a better understanding of the subject and in the way to create no limiting effect whatsoever.

In Figure 1, representative view of the cornet cone cutting machine of the invention has been given. Accordingly, the cornet cone cutting machine basically comprises a bobbin cylinder (10) which carries the package bobbin (200), a stretching elevation (20) which is positioned at a certain distance opposite the bobbin cylinder (10), a front stretching cylinder (30) and rear stretching cylinder (40) which are located on the stretching elevation (20) and which pull the package bobbin (200) on the bobbin cylinder (10) open, a lower stretching cylinder (50) which pulls the package that has been opened by the front stretching cylinder (30) and rear stretching cylinder (40) downwards and transfers the same upwards, a first straightening cylinder (60) which pulls the package that has been transferred from the lower stretching cylinder (50) upwards and turns it into a stretched package (201) through stretching by passing the same through, a second straightening cylinder (80) which is connected to the straightening disks (70) and which straightens the stretched package (201) and makes it a straightened package (202), a compression piece (91) which presses the straightened package (202) and a compression chamber (90) which has a mould (93) that cuts the straightened package (202) pressed within the compression piece (91) and turns the same into specially cut package slices (203) for cornet cones, a package holder arm (100) which stacks the specially cut package slices (203) obtained in the compression chamber (90) thereon, and a waste transmission portion (110) which transfers the waste packages (204) left from the specially cut package slices (203) cut from straightened package (202) out, to reuse the same.

The comet cone cutting machine according to the invention provides for the production of specially cut package slices (203) for cornet cones with a cutting procedure from the package bobbin (200). Said package bobbin (200) is carried on a bobbin cylinder (10). A stretching elevation (20) is positioned opposite the bobbin cylinder (10) at a certain distance. On said stretching elevation (20), there are a front stretching cylinder (30) and rear stretching cylinder (40) which pull the package bobbin (200) on the bobbin cylinder (10) open. It is provided that the stretching elevation (20), said front stretching cylinder (30) and rear stretching cylinder (40) are positioned above at a certain distance from the bobbin cylinder (10) and thereby the package bobbin (200) is pulled upwards and opened.

A lower stretching cylinder (50) is positioned opposite the stretching elevation (20) at a certain distance. Said lower stretching cylinder (50) transfers the package opened with the front stretching cylinder (30) and rear stretching cylinder (40) upwards in an orderly manner for the cutting procedure by pulling the same in the downward direction.

The package transferred from the lower stretching cylinder (50) is pulled upwards and stretched by being passed between the first straightening cylinders (60) and turned into a stretched package (201). There are straightening disks (70) opposite the first straightening cylinders (60). Second straightening cylinders (80) are connected to said straightening disks (70). The second straightening cylinders (80) straighten the stretched package (201) at the first straightening cylinder (60) and turns the same into the straightened package (202).

As seen in Figure 2, there is a compression chamber (90) under the second straightening cylinders (80). In said compression chamber (90), there is at least one compression piece (91) with back-and-forth motion which presses the straightened package (202) transferred from the second straightening cylinders (80) and at least one mould (93) which cuts the straightened package (202) pressed at the compression piece (91) and turns the same into specially cut package slices (203). The movement of the straightened package (202) in the compression chamber (90) is arranged in a way to coincide with the pressing time of the compression piece (91).

The compression piece (91) gains the back-and-forth drive from a drive motor (92) that makes a rotational movement. The drive motor (92) and compression piece (91) are interconnected via a circle arm (94) located on the drive motor (92). The circle arm (94) transforms the rotational movement of the drive motor (92) into linear motion.

There are package holder arms (100) which extend forwards from the outer surface of the compression chamber (90). Said package holder arms (100) stack the specially cut package slices (203) obtained by means of the mould (93) in the compression chamber (90) thereon. There are stack holders (101) which have a dynamic structure that prevents the specially cut package slices (203) from being scattered on the package holder arms (100). The stack holders (101) press the specially cut package slices (203) by moving forward together with each specially cut package slice (203). At the same time, stacking stops (102) are placed at the end of the holder arms (100). The stacking stops (102) prevent the specially cut package slices (203) on the package holder arms (100) from bulging out.

There is a waste transmission portion (110) under the compression chamber (90) which transfers the waste packages (204) left from the specially cut package slices (203) cut from the straightened package (202) out, in order to be reused. The working principle of the cornet cone package cutting machine according to the invention is as follows;

The package bobbin (200) coming out of the bobbin cylinder (10) is pulled towards the stretching elevation (20) and pulled open by means of the front stretching cylinder (30) and rear stretching cylinder (40). Then, the package directed at the lower stretching cylinder (50) is pulled in a downward direction and transferred upwards for the cutting procedure in an orderly manner. Pulled from the lower stretching cylinder (50) in an upwards direction, the package passes between the first straightening cylinders (60) and is transferred to the second straightening cylinders (80) connected to the straightening disks (70). The package is turned into a stretched package (201) and then a straightened package (202) during this motion.

The straightened package (202) transferred in the downward direction from the second straightening cylinders (80) is pressed by means of the compression piece (91) in the compression chamber (90) and cut by means of the mould (93), and specially shaped package slices (203) are obtained. The specially shaped package slices (203) are stacked on the package holder arms (100). The waste packages (204) left from the specially cut package slices (203) cut from the straightened package (202) are transferred from the waste transmission portion (100) out, in order to be reused.
