System and method for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers and the like

Abstract

A system for compact and orderly packaging including a feeding compartment that packages the floor levelers, which are intended for rotary positioning units equipped with spiral distribution rails by a conveyor belt contained in the feeding compartment. Thus, the floor levelers are directed to a sequential conveyor belt, where they are profiled and then directed to a rotating steering device, composed of recesses and a nozzle that moves the floor levelers clockwise and counterclockwise to be arranged in an interleaved and overlapping manner. Then, the arranged and overlapping floor levelers are sent to the angular housing compartments with the aid of a pneumatic actuator with vertical movement, which are internally coated by packages. The floor levelers packaged by the packages are sent to a release mechanism, which is disarmed to send the floor levelers packaged by the packages to an exit conveyor.

1 . A system for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers, comprising: a package for floor levelers, which are packed in a feeding compartment, configured for rotary positioning units equipped with spiral distribution rails by a conveyor belt contained in the feeding compartment; and the floor levelers are directed to a sequential conveyor belt, wherein a compact and orderly packaging system is configured by a rotating directing device which receives the floor levelers from the sequential conveyor belt; the rotating directing device, sends the floor levelers sequentially, standardized, and organized to angular housing compartments coated by packages, which are heat sealed and sent with the floor levelers ordered and compacted to a release mechanism with exit belt. 
     
     
         2 . The system for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers of  claim 1 , wherein the compact and orderly packaging system is configured by a rotating steering device equipped with recesses and a nozzle, which rotates the floor levelers clockwise and counterclockwise to profile and organize the floor levelers inside angled housing compartments. 
     
     
         3 . The system for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers of  claim 1 , wherein the angular housing compartments are internally coated by packages with the aid of a pneumatic actuator with vertical movement. 
     
     
         4 . The system for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers according to  claim 3 , wherein the packages have both ends sealed at right angles by actuating devices and pneumatic actuators that heat seal and cut the vertical end of the package inside the angular housing compartments, so that the floor levelers are packaged by the packages and configured in standardized measurements and geometries, being sent to a release mechanism. 
     
     
         5 . The system for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers according to  claim 4 , wherein the release mechanism is provided with an exit duct interconnected to a verticalized protrusion, having an angled exit ramp for sending the floor levelers packaged by the packages to an exit conveyor. 
     
     
         6 . The system for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers of  claim 1 , wherein the floor levelers, when accessing the sequential conveyor belt, pass through two double-acting pneumatic cylinders coupled with timers, which alternate during the feeding of the floor levelers to the sequential conveyor belt, supplying the quantity and speed that the packaging system needs. 
     
     
         7 . The system for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers according to  claim 6 , wherein the floor levelers follow profiled on the sequential conveyor belt, passing through a photosensitive presence sensor, which is configured to identify the alignment and misalignment of the floor levelers on the sequential conveyor belt, so that, if one or more floor levelers is misaligned, the photosensitive presence sensor sends a signal to the packaging system causing the sequential conveyor belt to stop. 
     
     
         8 . The system for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers according to  claim 7 , wherein the sequential conveyor belt has a support configured by a photosensitive presence sensor, which is installed in front of a three-axis rotating cylinder, which pushes the floor levelers towards the rotating steering device, while the photosensitive presence sensor counts the floor levelers. 
     
     
         9 . A method for compact and orderly packaging of floor levelers and the like, performed by the system of  claim 1 , comprising the following steps:
 in a first step, the conveyor belt of the feeding compartment sends the floor levelers to the rotary positioning units equipped with spiral distribution rails ( 6 );   in a second step, the spiral distribution rails of the rotating positioning units direct the floor levelers to a sequential conveyor belt, where they are profiled before being directed to the rotating steering device,   in a third stage, the floor levelers pass through two double-acting pneumatic cylinders coupled with timers, which alternate during the feeding of the floor levelers, supplying the quantity and speed that the packaging system needs;   in a fourth stage, the floor levelers are profiled on the sequential conveyor belt, passing through a photosensitive presence sensor, which is configured to identify the alignment and misalignment of the floor levelers on the sequential conveyor belt, so that, if one or more floor levelers is misaligned, the photosensitive presence sensor sends a signal to the packaging system, causing the sequential conveyor belt to stop;   in a fifth stage, together with the sequential conveyor belt, there is a support configured by a photosensitive presence sensor, which is installed in front of a three-axis rotating cylinder, which pushes the floor levelers towards the rotating steering device, while the photosensitive presence sensor has the function of counting the floor levelers;   in a sixth step, the rotating steering device, composed of recesses and a nozzle, uses the recesses to move the floor levelers clockwise and counterclockwise, organizing them in an interspersed and overlapping manner;   in a seventh stage, the floor levelers, already interleaved and superimposed by the rotating steering device, are directed to the angular housing compartments, which are internally lined by packages, and are pushed and fitted with the aid of a pneumatic actuator with vertical movement, whose packages have both ends sealed at right angles;   in an eighth stage, since the floor levelers are properly arranged, fitted and interspersed in the angular housing compartments lined by packages, the packages already packed by the floor levelers are heat sealed, also having both ends sealed at right angles by actuating devices, which seal and cut the opening of the package, also having pneumatic actuators that heat seal the vertical end of the package with the floor levelers packed in an orderly manner; and   in a ninth step, the floor levelers packed by the packages are sent to a release mechanism equipped with an exit duct interconnected to a verticalized protrusion, having an angled exit ramp to send the floor levelers packed by the packages to an exit conveyor.
