The invention is related to a cornet cone package production machine with vertical feeding used in the production of cornet cone packages used in the packaging of cornet-type ice-creams.
The invention is particularly related to a cornet cone package production machine with vertical feeding which provides for the cornet cone packages to be vertically fed and brought into a cone shape by being crimped.
Cornet-type ice-creams are among the top popular ice-creams frequently consumed. These ice-creams basically have conically shaped cornets filled with ice-creams having contents such as chocolate, toppings, fruits, nuts etc. Said cornets are sold by being placed in sleeve-like packages that cover the cornet part.
In the art, the standard cornet cone packages are cut into specific shapes before production and produced by being crimped into a conical shape in crimping machines. For this purpose, the cornet cone packages cut are stacked in order to be transferred to the crimping machines after the cutting process. The crimping machines shape the specifically shaped packages that are stacked into cones by crimping the same through rotation and form cone packages that are suitable for cornet cones. However, during the transmission of the specifically shaped packages to the crimping machine, problems such as deformation, tearing, and flying away are encountered and errors occur in production.
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 straight package bobbin 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, a method which produces cone packages with separate machines has been described. This requires multiple processes for various stages in the cone package production.
In consequence, the presence of the above-mentioned problems and inefficiency of the present solutions requires a development in the related technical field.
The present invention is related to a cornet cone package production machine with vertical feeding that eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantages and brings new advantages to the related technical field.
The main purpose of the invention is to present a production machine which provides that the cornet cone packages are vertically fed and brought to a cone shape by being crimped.
The purpose of the invention is to provide that the cornet cone packages are carried by being stacked on top of each other vertically and without getting caught or interlapped, crimped by being pushed in between two conical crimpers, and stacked within each other by being brought into a cone shape after the crimping.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide that the production is carried out without errors with the cornet cone packages that are stacked on top of each other vertically being transferred properly in between the crimpers.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide that the specifically shaped cornet cone packages are stacked over a single machine, transferred automatically to the crimping procedure, brought to a cone shape by being crimped and packages that are brought into a cone shape are stacked within each other.
In order to fulfill all the purposes that are mentioned above and that can be inferred from the detailed description; the invention 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, comprising

Therefore, the evaluation should be made in consideration of these figures and the detailed description.
In this detailed description the preferred alternatives of the production 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
In the production machine of the invention the specifically shaped cornet cone packages (200) are stacked on top of each other on the package fixing bottom set (10) in order to bring them into cone form. Cornet cone packages (200) stacked on top of each other on the package fixing bottom set (10) are held by means of package fixing side set (20) from their side surfaces. The package fixing side set (20) has the side adjustment arm (21) which provides for the width adjustment.
There is a first conveyor belt (30) with linear motion which carries the cornet cone packages (200) by pulling them individually on the lower surface of the package fixing bottom set (10). Said first conveyor belt (30) moves linearly by means of the conveyor drive gear (40) which is located at both ends and which makes a rotational movement.
A package transmission upper system (50) is connected on the first conveyor belt (30) which advances the cornet cone packages (200) on the first conveyor belt (30). Said package transmission upper system (50) has free-rotating disks (51). The disks (51) rotate freely on the first conveyor belt (30) and provide that the cornet cone packages (200) are advanced on the first conveyor belt (30). There is at least one package holder (60) under the first conveyor belt (30) as well. The package holder (60) supports the cornet cone packages (200) from under the first conveyor belt (30). Thereby the cornet cone packages (200) are carried on the first conveyor belt (30) such that they are between the package transmission upper system (50) and the package holder (60).
At the end of the first conveyor belt (30), there is at least one semicircle disk (70) which holds and turns the cornet cone packages (200). Said semicircle disk (70) makes a rotational movement by means of the disk motor (80). The semicircle disk (70) forms the desired gaps between the cornet cone packages (200) that are transferred from the first conveyor belt (30) by contacting the cornet cone packages (200) at certain time intervals as per its semicircle shape and the cornet cone packages (201) turned in this manner are transferred to the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) without interlapping and disrupting the operation of the production machine.
The cornet cone packages (201) turned with the semicircle disk (70) are carried on the second conveyor belt (90) which has been positioned perpendicularly to the first conveyor belt (30). The semicircle disk (70) pulls the cornet cone packages (200) that are transferred from the first conveyor belt (30) from the sides by contacting them at certain intervals and drops the turned cornet cone packages (201) to the second conveyor belt (90).
At the end of the second conveyor belt (90), there is a lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) which crimp the turned cornet cone packages (201) and bring them into conical cone packages (202). Said lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) make reverse rotational movements from each other by means of the lower conical crimper motor (110) and the upper conical crimper motor (130), respectively. At the same time, the lower conical crimper (100) presses the turned cornet cone packages (201) that come between the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) at certain intervals and when the cornet cone package (201) is brought to a conical cone package (202) by being crimped move in a downward direction.
At the end of the second conveyor belt (90) there is a cone stacking unit (140) which provides that the conical cone packages (202) are stacked within each other. Said cone stacking unit (140) has a cone transmission belt (150) that pulls the conical cone packages (202) from the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) into the cone stacking unit (140). The conical cone packages (202) are held within each other on the cone transmission belt (150) by means of the cone holder (160).
The conical cone packages (202) produced by means of the lower conical crimper (100) and the upper conical crimper (120) are pulled by means of the cone transmission belt (150) and held on the cone holder (160). The conical cone packages (202) fall into the cone stacking unit (140) as stacked within each other at the desired amount after passing the cone holder (160) length. Depending on the size length of the cone holder (160) the number of the conical cone packages (202) desired to be stacked within each other can be adjusted.
The working principle of the production machine according to the invention is as follows;
The specifically shaped cornet cone packages (200) are stacked on top of each other on the package fixing bottom set (10) and advanced on the first conveyor belt (30) by means of the package transmission upper system (50) and package holder (60).
The cornet cone packages (200) arriving at the end of the first conveyor belt (30) are turned on the second conveyor belt (90) at certain intervals by means of the semicircle disk (70) which makes a rotational movement.
The turned cornet cone packages (201) are brought to a conical cone package (202) by being crimped by means of the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) which make reverse rotational movements from each other located at the end of the second conveyor belt (90).
The conical cone packages (202) are pulled from the lower conical crimper (100) and upper conical crimper (120) by means of the cone transmission belt (150) and held within each other on the cone holder (160). The conical cone packages (202) fall into the cone stacking unit (140) as stacked within each other at the desired amount after passing the cone holder (160) length.
