Cornet cone package production machine with vertical feeding
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a production machine which is used in producing the cornet cone packages used in the packaging of cornet-type ice-creams and which provides for the cornet cone packages to be vertically fed and brought into a cone shape by being crimped.
1 . A machine for producing cornet cone packages used in ice-cream packaging, the machine comprising:
a package fixing bottom set adapted to allow a stacking of the cornet cone packages on top of each other thereon;
a first conveyor belt having a linear motion and cooperative with said package fixing bottom set to pull the cornet cone packages individually from a surface of said package fixing bottom set and to carry the cornet cone packages therefrom;
a semicircle disk positioned at an end of said first conveyor belt, said semicircle disk having a rotational movement to change a direction of the cornet cone package from said first conveyor belt;
a second conveyor belt positioned in perpendicular relationship to said first conveyor belt to carry the cornet cone packages whose direction is changed by said semicircular disk;
a lower conical crimper positioned at an end of said second conveyor belt;
an upper conical crimper positioned at the end of said second conveyor belt, said lower conical crimper and said upper conical crimper adapted to crimp the cornet cone package into a conical shape;
a cone stacking unit downstream of said lower conical crimper and said upper conical crimper to stack the cornet cone packages within one another;
a cone transmission belt positioned between said lower and upper conical crimpers and said cone stacking unit to pull the cornet cone packages from said lower and upper conical crimpers into said cone stacking unit; and
a cone holder cooperative with said cone transmission belt to keep the cornet cone packages within each other on said cone transmission belt.
2 . The machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
a package fixing side set positioned adjacent said package fixing bottom set to hold the cornet cone packages on said package fixing bottom set from side surfaces thereof.
3 . The machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
a side adjustment arm cooperative with said package fixing bottom set to adjust a width of said package fixing bottom set.
4 . The machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
a package transmission upper system connected to said first conveyor belt, said package transmission upper system having freely rotating disks adapted to advance the cornet cone package on said first conveyor belt.
5 . The machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
a package holder positioned below said first conveyor belt to support the cornet cone package therefrom.
6 . The machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
a disk motor connected to said semicircle disk to drive a rotational movement of said semicircle disk.
7 . The machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
a lower conical crimper motor connected to said lower conical crimper to drive said lower conical crimper in rotation.
8 . The machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
an upper conical crimper motor connected to said upper conical crimper to drive said upper conical crimper in rotation.
