Description

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de conditionnement de récipients remplis de produits, et en particulier d'ampoules remplies de produits, pharmaceutiques ou autres, et les conditionnements ainsi obtenus.The invention relates to a method and a device for packaging containers filled with products, and in particular to ampoules filled with products, pharmaceutical or other, and the packages thus obtained.

Les produits pharmaceutiques sont souvent contenus dans des ampoules de verre scellées de façon étanche, qui doivent présenter un certain nombre d'indications relatives à la nature du produit contenu, au numéro de lot de produit, à la date de fabrication ou à la date limite d'emploi, au mode d'emploi du produit, au nom du fabricant ou du laboratoire, etc. Ces inscriptions, qui doivent être indélébiles, sont souvent gravées sur les ampoules par les fabricants d'ampoules. Les laboratoires, qui ont pour tâche de remplir les ampoules de produits, de les contrôler et de les conditionner, doivent donc disposer d'un stock important d'ampoules préalablement gravées avec toutes les indications voulues. La constitution et la gestion de ce stock d'ampoules entrainent des frais importants, d'autant plus qu'en pratique le laboratoire doit disposer d'un plus grand nombre d'ampoules que strictement nécessaire, en raison des risques de casse. Les ampoules en surplus après utilisation d'un lot de produit, sont inutilisables et doivent être détruites.Pharmaceutical products are often contained in tightly sealed glass ampoules, which must present a certain number of indications relating to the nature of the product contained, the batch number of the product, the date of manufacture or the expiration date. instructions, product instructions, name of manufacturer or laboratory, etc. These inscriptions, which must be indelible, are often engraved on the bulbs by the bulb manufacturers. Laboratories, which have the task of filling the ampoules with products, checking them and packaging them, must therefore have a large stock of ampoules previously engraved with all the required indications. The constitution and management of this stock of ampoules entails significant costs, especially since in practice the laboratory must have a larger number of ampoules than strictly necessary, due to the risk of breakage. The surplus bulbs after using a batch of product, are unusable and must be destroyed.

De plus, ces ampoules sont le plus souvent conditionnées dans des boites au moyen de chevalets en carton disposés dans les boites, qui reçoivent les pointes des ampoules. Ce type de conditionnement est relativement coûteux et peu commode à mettre en oeuvre.In addition, these bulbs are most often packaged in boxes by means of cardboard easels arranged in the boxes, which receive the tips of the bulbs. This type of packaging is relatively expensive and inconvenient to implement.

L'invention a pour but un procédé et un dispositif de conditionnement de récipients, tels que des ampoules remplies de produits pharmaceutiques, ainsi qu'un conditionnement de ces récipients ou ampoules, ne présentant pas ces divers inconvénients.The object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for packaging containers, such as ampoules filled with pharmaceutical products, as well as a packaging for these containers or ampoules, which do not have these various drawbacks.

Elle propose à cet effet un procédé de conditionnement de produits, notamment de produits pharmaceutiques, dans des récipients tels que des ampoules de verre devant comporter des indications relatives au moins au nom, à la nature et au lot du produit, caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à remplir de produit et à sceller des ampoules ou récipients dépourvus de toute indication, et à conditionner ensuite chaque ampoule ou récipient dans une gaine ou un manchon sensiblement inamovible pourvu desdites indications.To this end, it proposes a process for packaging products, in particular pharmaceutical products, in containers such as glass ampoules which must include indications relating at least to the name, the nature and the batch of the product, characterized in that it consists of filling with product and sealing ampoules or containers devoid of any indication, and then packaging each ampoule or container in a sheath or a substantially irremovable sleeve provided with said indications.

Le procédé selon l'invention permet donc à un laboratoire d'éviter tous les problèmes de constitution et de gestion d'un stock important d'ampoules différentes préalablement gravées par le fabricant d'ampoules.The method according to the invention therefore allows a laboratory to avoid all the problems of building up and managing a large stock of different bulbs previously engraved by the bulb manufacturer.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, on forme lesdites gaines au moyen de deux feuilles de matériau plastique thermorétractable qui sont soudées l'une à l'autre de part et d'autre de chaque ampoule, et on procède ensuite à un traitement de thermorétraction desdites feuilles.According to another characteristic of the invention, said sheaths are formed by means of two sheets of heat-shrinkable plastic material which are welded to each other on either side of each bulb, and a treatment is then carried out. heat shrinking of said sheets.

On obtient ainsi un phapelet d'ampoules que l'on peut déposer directement dans une boite, sans devoir disposer les ampoules une à une sur des chevalets en carton placés dans la boite.This gives a phapelet of bulbs which can be placed directly in a box, without having to place the bulbs one by one on cardboard easels placed in the box.

L'invention concerne également un dispositif pour l'exécution de ce procédé, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des des moyens pour amener deux feuilles de matériau thermorétractable l'une au-dessus de l'autre, des moyens pour amener entre les deux feuilles des récipients ou ampoules séparés les uns des autres d'une distance prédéterminée, des moyens pour souder entre elles les deux feuilles de matériau thermo- rétractable de part et d'autre de chaque récipient ou ampoule, pour former une gaine entourant chaqye récipient ou ampoule, un tunnel de chauffage pour effectuer la thermorétraction des gaines autour des récipients ou ampoules, ainsi que des moyens pour imprimer sur une des feuilles, avant formation de la gaine, les inscriptions nécessaires d'identification du récipient et de son contenu.The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method, characterized in that it comprises means for bringing two sheets of heat-shrinkable material one above the other, means for bringing between the two sheets of containers or ampoules separated from each other by a predetermined distance, means for welding together the two sheets of heat-shrinkable material on each side of each container or bulb, to form a sheath surrounding each container or bulb, a heating tunnel to heat shrink the sheaths around the containers or bulbs, as well as means for print on one of the sheets, before forming the sheath, the necessary inscriptions identifying the container and its contents.

L'invention propose également un conditionnement de récipients tels que des ampoules remplies de produits pharmaceutiques, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'une série de gaines en matériau plastique entourant inamoviblement chacune un récipient et réunies entre elles sous forme d'un chapelet, les récipients étant dépourvus de toute inscription, et les gaines présentant les inscriptions nécessaires d'identification des récipients et de leur contenu.The invention also provides a packaging for containers such as ampoules filled with pharmaceutical products, characterized in that it consists of a series of sheaths of plastic material each immovablely surrounding a container and joined together in the form of a chain , the receptacles being devoid of any inscription, and the sheaths presenting the necessary inscriptions identifying the receptacles and their contents.

Dans la description qui suit, faite à titre d'exemple, on se réfère aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • - la figure 1 est une vue d'une série d'ampoules conditionnées selon l'invention ;
  • - la figure 2 est une vue en coupe, à plus grande échelle, selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1 ;
  • - la figure 3 est une vue schématique de côté d'un dispositif de conditionnement selon l'invention.
In the description which follows, given by way of example, reference is made to the appended drawings in which:
  • - Figure 1 is a view of a series of bulbs packaged according to the invention;
  • - Figure 2 is a sectional view, on a larger scale, along the line II-II of Figure 1;
  • - Figure 3 is a schematic side view of a packaging device according to the invention.

On se réfère d'abord aux figures 1 et 2, représentant une série d'ampoules de verre, remplies de produits pharmaceutiques, qui ont été conditionnées selon l'invention.Reference is first made to FIGS. 1 and 2, representing a series of glass ampoules, filled with pharmaceutical products, which have been packaged according to the invention.

Le conditionnement des ampoules 10 comprend une série de gaines cylindriques 11 ouvertes à leurs extrémités et entourant étroitement chacune une ampoule 10, de telle façon que les ampoules 10 ne peuvent être retirées à leurs gaines 11. Les gaines 11 sont formées par superposition de deux feuilles 12 et 13 de matériau plastique thermorétractable, avantageusement transparent, entre lesquelles sont placées les ampoules 10, à intervalles réguliers. De part et d'autre de chaque ampoule 10 et le long de celle-ci, les feuilles 12 et 13 sont réunies ensemble par une ligne de soudure 14. Le conditionnement se présente ainsi sous la forme d'un chapelet de gaines 11, entourant étroitement chacune une ampoule 10, et une ligne de prédécoupe 15 est formée entre deux gaines 11 consécutives.The packaging of the ampoules 10 comprises a series of cylindrical sheaths 11 open at their ends and each closely surrounding a bulb 10, so that the bulbs 10 cannot be withdrawn from their sheaths 11. The sheaths 11 are formed by superposition of two sheets 12 and 13 of heat-shrinkable plastic material, advantageously transparent, between which the bulbs 10 are placed, at regular intervals. On each side of each bulb 10 and along it, the sheets 12 and 13 are joined together by a weld line 14. The packaging thus takes the form of a string of sheaths 11, surrounding each bulb 10 closely, and a precut line 15 is formed between two sheaths 11 consecutive.

L'une des deux feuilles, par exemple la feuille inférieure 13, porte des inscriptions 16 au niveau de chaque ampoule 10, relatives à l'identification du produit contenu dans les ampoules, au numéro de lot de produit, au nom du fabricant, etc. Comme indiqué plus haut, chaque ampoule 10 est dépourvue de toute inscription, ce qui évite au laboratoire chargé du remplissage et du conditionnement des ampoules 10 d'avoir un stock important d'ampoules diverses préalablement gravées par un fabricant d'ampoules et comportant des indications différentes de nom de produit, et de numéro de lot pour un même produit.One of the two sheets, for example the bottom sheet 13, carries inscriptions 16 at the level of each bulb 10, relating to the identification of the product contained in the bulbs, to the batch number of the product, to the name of the manufacturer, etc. . As indicated above, each bulb 10 is devoid of any inscription, which prevents the laboratory responsible for filling and packaging the bulbs 10 from having a large stock of various bulbs previously engraved by a bulb manufacturer and comprising indications different product name and lot number for the same product.

Le chapelet 17 d'ampoules, tel que représenté en figure 1, et comprenant un nombre prédéterminé d'ampoules, est ensuite simplement placé dans une boite en étant éventuellement replié sur lui-même pour former plusieurs rangées superposées, sans que l'on ait à utiliser de dispositif particulier en carton pour le positionnement individuel des ampoules dans la boite. 'The string 17 of bulbs, as shown in Figure 1, and comprising a predetermined number of bulbs, is then simply placed in a box, possibly being folded back on itself to form several superimposed rows, without having to use a special cardboard device for the individual positioning of the bulbs in the box. ''

Lorsqu'on désire utiliser une ampoule, il suffit d'en détacher une du chapelet, ce qui se fait facilement en raison des lignes de prédécoupe 15, et de casser les extrémités de l'ampoule, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de sortir de cette ampoule de sa gaine 11.When you want to use a bulb, simply detach one from the rosary, which is easily done due to the precut lines 15, and break the ends of the bulb, without it being necessary to come out of this bulb from its sheath 11.

Dans l'exemple représenté en figure 1, les gaines 11 ont une longueur inférieure à celle des ampoules, dont les pointes font saillie à l'extérieur de la gaine. On peut bien entendu prévoir un conditionnement selon l'invention, dans lequel les ampoules sont contenues entièrement à l'intérieur des gaines 11, de sorte que les pointes des ampoules sont également protégées par les extrémités de la gaine. Il suffit pour cela d'utiliser des feuilles 12 et 13 de matériau thermorétractable ayant une largeur au moins égale à la longueur des ampoules.In the example shown in Figure 1, the sheaths 11 have a length less than that of the bulbs, the tips of which protrude outside the sheath. It is of course possible to provide a packaging according to the invention, in which the bulbs are contained entirely inside the sheaths 11, so that the tips of the bulbs are also protected by the ends of the sheath. For this, it suffices to use sheets 12 and 13 of heat-shrinkable material having a width at least equal to the length of the ampoules.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 3, qui représente schématiquement, en vue de côté, un dispositif de conditionnement selon l'invention.Referring now to Figure 3, which schematically shows, in side view, a packaging device according to the invention.

Ce dispositif comprend tout d'abord une trémie 20 contenant les ampoules 10 qui viennent d'être remplies de produit pharmaceutique, par exemple, mirées et qui ont été scellées de façon étanche. A la sortie de la trémie 20, un dispositif (non représenté) dépose les ampoules 10 une à une sur un .convoyeur horizontal 21 transportant les ampoules dans le sens indiqué par la flèche 22. Ce convoyeur 21 comprend des moyens de positionnement des ampoules à une distance prédéterminée les unes des autres, et de production d'une alarme dans le cas d'un positionnement incorrect d'une ampoule ou d'absence d'une ampoule. Ces moyens de positionnement et de signalisation peuvent être constitués par des encoches en forme de V formées sur les rebords en saillie du convoyeur 21 et destinées à recevoir les pointes des ampoules 10. Au fond de chaque encoche est prévu un contact électrique fermé par la pointe de l'ampoule placée correctement sur le convoyeur 21. Dans le cas où une ampoule n'est pas positionnée correctement, ou dans le cas d'une absence d'ampoule, l'ouverture du contact se traduit par la.production d'une alarme et l'arrêt du convoyeur.This device firstly comprises a hopper 20 containing the ampoules 10 which have just been filled with pharmaceutical product, for example, candled and which have been sealed. At the outlet of the hopper 20, a device (not shown) deposits the bulbs 10 one by one on a horizontal conveyor 21 transporting the bulbs in the direction indicated by the arrow 22. This conveyor 21 comprises means for positioning the bulbs at a predetermined distance from each other, and production of an alarm in the event of an incorrect positioning of a bulb or absence of a bulb. These positioning and signaling means may consist of V-shaped notches formed on the projecting edges of the conveyor 21 and intended to receive the tips of the bulbs 10. At the bottom of each notch is provided an electrical contact closed by the tip of the bulb placed correctly on the conveyor 21. In the case where a bulb is not positioned correctly, or in the case of the absence of a bulb, the opening of the contact results in la.production de alarm and stop of the conveyor.

Le poste de conditionnement proprement dit des ampoules se trouve à la fin du convoyeur 21, et comprend deux rouleaux cylindriques 23 et 24, superposés et sensiblement tangents, à axe horizontal transversal 25 et 26 respectivement. Les surfaces périphériques cylindriques des rouleaux 23 et 24 sont formées avec des cavités allongées 27 et 28 respectivement, de forme semi-cylindrique, destinées à recevoir les ampoules 10 et ayant une forme conjuguée de celle desdites ampoules. Le rouleau supérieur 23 comprend également des fils chauffants 29, disposés de part et d'autre de chaque cavité semi-cylindrique 27, le long des bords de celles-ci.The ampoules packaging station itself is at the end of the conveyor 21, and comprises two cylindrical rollers 23 and 24, superimposed and substantially tangent, with transverse horizontal axis 25 and 26 respectively. The cylindrical peripheral surfaces of the rollers 23 and 24 are formed with elongated cavities 27 and 28 respectively, of semi-cylindrical shape, intended to receive the bulbs 10 and having a shape combined with that of said bulbs. The upper roller 23 also includes heating wires 29, disposed on either side of each semi-cylindrical cavity 27, along the edges thereof.

Entre les rouleaux 23 et 24 sont amenées deux feuilles 30 et 31 de matériau plastique thermorétractable, déroulées depuis des bobines 32 et 33 respectivement et passant sur des rouleaux de guidage et de tension 34. Les feuilles 30 et 31 ainsi guidées passent entre les deux rouleaux 23 et 24 en enveloppant ou entourant les ampoules 10 reçues dans les cavités 27 et 28 en regard de ces deux rouleaux. Les filaments chauffants 29 formés de part et d'autre d'une cavité semi-cylindrique 27 du rouleau 23 sont alimentés en courant électrique, pendant une période de temps prédéterminée, uniquement quand ladite cavité 27 se trouve au point le plus bas de sa trajectoire : dans cette position, une ampoule 10 est contenue dans cette .cavité semi-cylindrique 27 et dans la cavité correspondante 28 de l'autre rouleau 24, les deux feuilles 30 et 31 sont appuyées l'une sur l'autre, par les bords en regard des deux cavités 27 et 28, selon deux lignes s'étendant le long de l'ampoule 10, et sont soudées ensemble selon ces deux lignes, par les deux fils chauffants 29 prévus de part et d'autre de la cavité 27 du rouleau supérieur 23.Between the rollers 23 and 24 are brought two sheets 30 and 31 of heat-shrinkable plastic material, unwound from reels 32 and 33 respectively and passing over guide and tension rollers 34. The sheets 30 and 31 thus guided pass between the two rollers 23 and 24 by wrapping or surrounding the bulbs 10 received in the cavities 27 and 28 opposite these two rollers. The heating filaments 29 formed on either side of a semi-cylindrical cavity 27 of the roller 23 are supplied with electric current, for a predetermined period of time, only when said cavity 27 is at the lowest point of its trajectory. : in this position, a bulb 10 is contained in this semi-cylindrical cavity 27 and in the corresponding cavity 28 of the other roller 24, the two sheets 30 and 31 are supported one on the other, by the edges opposite the two cavities 27 and 28, along two lines extending along the bulb 10, and are welded together along these two lines, by the two heating wires 29 provided on either side of the cavity 27 of the upper roller 23.

Un poste d'impression de la face interne ou face supérieure de la feuille inférieure 31 est prévu, en amont des deux rouleaux 23 et 24, par exemple entre deux rouleaux de guidage et de tension 34. Ce poste d'impression 35 imprime à l'envers toutes les indications relatives à l'identification du produit, du laboratoire, etc., sur la face supérieure de la feuille inférieure 31, à intervalles réguliers, l'impression étant commandée en synchronisme avec le mouvement du convoyeur 22 et des rouleaux 23 et 24, de telle sorte que chaque série d'inscriptions se trouve au niveau d'une ampoule lO dans le chapelet formé à la sortie des rouleaux 23 et 24.A printing station on the internal face or upper face of the lower sheet 31 is provided, upstream of the two rollers 23 and 24, for example between two guide and tension rollers 34. This printing station 35 prints on the towards all the indications relating to the identification of the product, of the laboratory, etc., on the upper face of the lower sheet 31, at regular intervals, the printing being controlled in synchronism with the movement of the conveyor 22 and rollers 23 and 24, so that each series of inscriptions is at the level of a bulb 10 in the chain formed at the outlet of the rollers 23 and 24.

Le dispositif comprend ensuite un tunnel de chauffage 36, placé au-dessus d'un convoyeur 37 recevant le chapelet d'ampoules sortant des rouleaux 23 et 24. Dans ce four 36, seule la feuille supérieure 30 est rétractée par chauffage, ce qui suffit pour resserrer étroitement sur les ampoules 10 les gaines formées par les deux feuilles, la feuille inférieure 31 ne subissant pas un chauffage suffisamment important pour être rétractée, ce qui évite toute déformation des inscriptions portées sur cette feuille 31.The device then comprises a heating tunnel 36, placed above a conveyor 37 receiving the string of bulbs emerging from the rollers 23 and 24. In this oven 36, only the top sheet 30 is shrunk by heating, which is sufficient in order to tighten tightly on the bulbs 10 the sheaths formed by the two sheets, the lower sheet 31 not undergoing a sufficiently large heating to be retracted, which avoids any deformation of the inscriptions carried on this sheet 31.

De plus, comme les inscriptions sont portées sur la face supérieure ou interne de la feuille inférieure 31, elles sont protégées de tout risque d'effacement ultérieur par frottement.In addition, as the inscriptions are carried on the upper or inner face of the lower sheet 31, they are protected from any risk of subsequent erasure by friction.

A la sortie du tunnel de chauffage 36 est prévu un dispositif 38 formant une ligne de prédécoupe dans les feuilles 30 et 31 superposées, entre deux ampoules 10 consécutives.At the exit from the heating tunnel 36 is provided a device 38 forming a pre-cut line in the superimposed sheets 30 and 31, between two consecutive bulbs 10.

La série continue d'ampoules ainsi formée est ensuite découpée en chapelets comprenant des nombres prédéterminés d'ampoules, qui sont disposés dans des boites.The continuous series of bulbs thus formed is then cut into strings comprising predetermined numbers of bulbs, which are arranged in boxes.

Les diverses opérations de remplissage et scellement des ampoules, de mirage, et de conditionnement sont avantageusement réalisées en continu sur une même chaine automatique.The various operations of filling and sealing the ampoules, candling, and packaging are advantageously carried out continuously on the same automatic chain.
