Description

Automated bag in box assembly and content-filled

In GB0314815.2, the applicant has proposed a kind of so-called bag-in-box (BIB) container of particular form.

Usually, BIB is designed for the impervious bearer in the carton.

Briefly, the applicant provides a kind of insertion neck ring location, reinforcing and supporting member.

This ring feature makes:

-bearer and carton are exterior, and accurately registration or (certainly) are aimed at mutually;

-utilization itself is supported on the transfer of bag neck, the distribution of predetermined carton groove or the ring institute clip in the breach or shares the load of bag and carton; And

The location of-bag neck makes the nut torque stop.

Bag is content-filled

GB0314815.2 proposes the filling problem.

Like this, bag is content-filled is mainly considering a problem of content maker.

Usually, Zhuan Yong automatic fill line is used for prefabricated BIB structure.

Conventional bag filling is inserted into the bag of filling in the prefabricated carton assembly usually.

Insert with itself and form carton but the mixing of artificial and mechanization step.

Filling machine

The resource agreement stops packing to change, if incompatible with the stower of having built.

At present, the stower (such as blowing Jerrycans) that is used for the container of (partly) rigid walls (usually) is incompatible with the stower that is used for the BIB container.

Wet filling environment, content overflows, and the danger of paperboard carton degraded is a factor.

Machinery is propped up

The case erector of mechanization generally is suitable for utilizing band and/or lining cement to seal and is connected carton flaps.

But vanning mechanization is also not integrated with the automated bag filling at present.

In fact the bag and the filling itself of filling realize with separation steps usually, in the carton of finishing basically before bag insertion, except that the top seal tabs.

The pre-filling of bag

In the BIB of routine produced, bag was by filling and insertion (perhaps falling) then are closed around it to the carton of partly propping up in advance.

An object of the present invention is to provide selectable BIB filling and prop up technology.

The present invention's general introduction

Aspects more of the present invention relate to BIB container and sub-component production, assemble, prop up the improvement with filling.

Some modification that also relates to BIB design and structure.

Particular content comprises:

-auxiliary prefabricated handle-monolithic manufacturing of " horizontal " ideally;

-deformable the heelpiece that can be impacted, compress and destroy at the consequence that drops;

-reinforcing lining or cover;

-top and bottom end stacking plate;

-air cushioning bag;

The effect of-reducing valve;

-integrated neck ring and handle moulded parts;

-plastic sheet carton;

-the neck ring that becomes one with the plastic sheet carton;

-integrated bag neck and steady ring.

According to an aspect of the present invention, BIB is by bearer of arranging of carrying secretly mutually and carton assembling, for example utilizes a bag neck gulde edge-before bag (content) filling.

Rectangle 3D bag

A preferred bag form has the rectangle of being essentially, flat, 3D props up structure, approximate rectangular carton shell.

Continuous bag sheet and discontinuous carton board

Serialgram with compressed bag part of each filling/discharge neck combines with continuity such as a plurality of discontinuous cardboard box components of compressed paper boxboard.

Steady ring

Preferably be installed on bag neck such as the steady ring among the GB0314815.2.

A kind of like this ring can cover insertion step or the groove in carton (top) end folds, and is arranged on neck gulde edge, flange or antelabium below.

This provides the seat of resisting torque, and the Assembly ﹠Disassembly of the bag neck on the screw thread closing cover is translated in this opposing.

Before the tabs combination, the sidewall panel of carton board holds compressed bag.

Can use local bonding, winding and/or interlocking edge shaping.

Handle

Selectable prefabricated handle component can link to each other with carton top or side panel.

Handle is the monolithic manufacturing of " horizontal " preferably.

Perhaps, integrated handle and ring top board can be installed on the carton.

Sub-component

Sub-component in the middle of this has formed, the flat package structure that the compression of 2D closely that it can adopt and keep before finally propping up into 3D sealing, assembling and filling is folding.

This sub-component make itself closely store and be transported to long-rangely finally prop up, assembling and packing stage.

Utilize propping up of bag expansion

Realize that with expanding bag BIB container 3D props up from the transformation of the 2D shape of compression by fluid (that is air) being introduced by the bag neck under pressure.

Bag expand by prop up around the overlap joint of prefabricated carton edges crease/folding line make carton housing and its together-present prefabricated (rectangle) bulk form until carton.

Can design a kind of compressible flat package like this, but (part) stack-mounted BIB structure.

This maintains the flat package of compression closely (part) the stack-mounted form that is beneficial to the storage of saving the space and conveying-rather than carry big vessel space, that is, and and conventional Jerrycan.

Prop up on the spot in the filling station employing.

Before being transported to long-range filling station, can adopting so-called pre-assy and prop up empty BIB carton form.

Bag/carton gap

Usually, be preferably in keep certain between carton and the bag " gap " after impact, to make a bag relative displacement.

Heelpiece

Compressible buffering heelpiece plug-in unit can be arranged between outer carton and the inner bag to support shock absorbing under the situation about dropping at carton.

Dark or multilayer corrugated cardboard sheet interlayer can satisfy this requirement.

Otherwise be out of shape or destroy the danger of back existence bag destruction and content leaks in local carton walls.

The bag of buffering (air)

The feature of gap and heelpiece can be combined in the cushion pocket-promptly at the bottom of content bag and the carton and/or the capsule of the discontinuous air expansion between the top.

Such cushion pocket also can become one with the content bag.

But example double-walled or layer.

Effectively, bag can be limited in content in the liner and with air and press from both sides (buffering) between liner and outer lining.

Thereby the energy dissipation shock-absorbing cushion layer in the middle of easier compression of the comparable liquid contents of a kind of like this air bag and the formation.

A kind of like this structure can be specially adapted to larger capacity (more for example 25 liters) BIB modification.

Perhaps, discontinuous independently auxiliary (air) cushion pocket can be set up or link to each other with the content bag.

Best, in being inserted into carton before a kind of like this cushion pocket inflatable.

Dump valve

Prefabricated blow through valve can make the in check discharge of impact bag after reaching certain clamp load threshold value.

In fact, be used for the carton top groove of steady ring or step and can be used as safe displacement element after BIB drops.

Like this, from following impact back (back of promptly dropping), bag wherein moves up at carton.

This again with the carton groove and with neck ring and bag neck extrude-with not limiting bag displacement basically.

Carton is a rectangle else if, and bag will not have the place can redistribute-act on carton top, has the danger that carton and/or bag destroy.

Reinforcement/reinforcing cover

Auxiliary reinforcement or reinforcing cover or ring can be installed between carton and the bag to help the absorbing vibration impact load.

This eliminates owing to abnormal condition change whole carton walls specification.

The corrugated carton

In fact, for very crash-resistant structure, thereby the reinforcing lining be made-be need not to whole carton can by corrugated heavy wall cardboard.

The plastic sheet carton

Stack of sheets or undulatory synthetic plastics can be used for the specialized application of economical rationality.

Feature such as neck ring and/or handle can be integrated in such plastic sheet, and is promptly molded or die-cut by local (vacuum), can utilize the thermoplastic material.

Linear block form

Carton form neck in top panel groove or otch of (the special rectangle) of angled linearity is inserted in the neck ring, piles up and packs linear the grouping thereby allow to be nested with closely.

Such linearity grouping makes that transportation is more orderly, promptly compares with the round edge Jerrycans with fitfull top surface and outstanding filling neck.

The carton size of mixing

The multi-fold assorted size carton of the relative volume of proportional convergent-divergent and size can be stacked on together-can't harm stability or space availability ratio.

The packing of cluster

A plurality of packings cluster or grouping can partly be surrounded by a shared bag, cover or minimum relative (top and bottom) cluster or stacking plate, that is, and and by the strap clamp band.

The shrink pack palletization

Bigger will divide into groups on public backing plate with multiple-level stack.

A kind of like this collection shrink wrapping of piling up of palletization produces unified crash-resistant delivery form.

Thereby strict rectangular profile and meticulous relative size are set and production makes wall surface closed contact-reinforce mutually in piling up.

Proportional print image of collecting

For the carton form of the adjacency of homogeneity, whole carton can be printed on the surface, thereby the carton of grouping is collected and can be described enlarged image from each carton element.

A kind of like this sweep-saw image effect can be used for the carton grouping that check and correction is correct mutually and aims at.

Leak-testing

Bag before expanding can be used as the pressurization leak-testing, by monitoring expanding bag seal integrity before filling.

For this reason, bag can stand (though temporary transient) than the high slightly pressure of the pressure that normally bears or pass the difference of pressure of boundary's wall.

By the ability of bearing known initial pressure of monitoring bag, destroy and the fragility of breaking (such as along with hot weld seam, laser) except determining (and coming from the pre-emptying of manipulating), long-term internal leakage (such as in neck and bag junction) also can be evaluated.

Valve in filling head can be used in the bag neck by unidirectional filling and two-way consumption, and it is inner that meter leads to bag.

Such function also can or adopt conventional what is called " to charge into and driving head " plugger and realize by predetermined design.

Filling head with integrated boiler check valve contacts with bag neck or neck ring temporary sealing in pack period.

Waste product discharge-recovery

Prop up automatically with testing wire in, remove discarded " break " bag, that is, put it into the waste product collecting bin.

The bag of collecting can be handled by plastics recovery.

Fluid-pressure moulding material character makes and itself reclaims manyly than the Jerricans of so-called semi-rigid walls.

Any carton of carrying secretly with discarded bag can be released, if int words, return the partial assembled line to reuse-or by cardboard recovery processing simply.

Content-filled expansion

Expand and can be adopted as intermediate steps although be used for bag that outer carton props up, before content-filled, i.e. filling step itself can be used for initial bubble and props up.

That is, bag keeps compression until final filling.

Further filling

Unexpanded bag capacity is initially maximum and provides the resistance of appropriateness to produce until prop up the after expansion space at bag.

In order to reflect these, can adopt the filling pressure and/or the type of flow that increase gradually.

This eliminates bag vibrations, the triggering of fill line blowback and compressor protection switch.

This also makes the bag that expands adopt outer paper box-shaped formula to follow it to prop up form from the 2D flat package to 3D.

If filling velocity is preferred, more unexpected and quick, can uses in advance and prop up, such as utilizing air expansion.

Referring to accompanying drawing

Structure

Fig. 1 shows the assembling sequence diagram of circuit of BIB basic building block, described BIB basic building block promptly:

Case or carton 11; Bag 12; Location neck ring 14-sees GB0314815; (selectable) discontinuous (side/top) handle 13;

Bag 12 has and is used for whole neck geat or pour spout content-filled and that discharge.

The continuous sheet of the compression foldable bag of the mutual band edge of preferred bag maker's (not shown) production.

Described discontinuous bag (that is, independent produce or and sheet separation) can be used, as what describe in the embodiment of back.

Handle-control

Usually, for the ease of controlling, discontinuous neck ring 14 and handle 13 are arranged on the relative both sides of carton body 11.

Handle makes the user support filling weight and control dump angle and pours into speed.

Height (that is, the pulling up) handle that stands in neck ring 14 places is feasible.

After carton board is die-cut, can easily be provided in the main body (that is, roof and/or sidewall) of carton 11 and cut the assist handle that digs.

In some cases, the ring 14 and handle 13 can be integrated-promptly, by (vacuum) molded panel or the band that adopts routine to arrive.

A kind of so integrated handle and neck ring can form whole carton top board, for the carton that piles up thereon provides shape to support and support.

The flat package sub-component

These different elements are integrated in the flat package sub-component 20 of tight compression-and pile up and pack with ' closely knit ' (saving space) volume, long-range filling platform is provided.

Under the situation that the user allows, sub-component 20 carries out final packaging at filling station and props up and finish (closed and sealed) and become pre-filling assembly 30 after being left behind from local storage room in follow-up distinct steps.

A kind of like this 3D three-dimensional shape of propping up does not fully present until needs and holds content.

In this scheme, the dead zone of not having waste in transportation and storage is consumed until preparing filling.

But if the space is not of great value, the empty form of propping up can betransported and store-alleviate the needs of filling workshop to expansion/installation station.

Automatically assembling

Although BIB uses special purpose machinery and operation, adopt installation of conventional support case and bag and technology can obtain some (part) installation step.

This has represented a kind of economical advantage, if the user is changed BIB into from traditional semi-rigid walls carton, has so had some packaging facilities.

Therefore, accompanying drawing only schematically illustrates cardinal principle, and concrete engineering solution needn't be described.

Sub-component

Fig. 2 A (conveyer lateral plan) and Fig. 2 B (diagram of circuit) at length show the formation of the sub-component 20 of Fig. 1.

The bag sheet

Bag is produced as the serialgram 55 of each bag element 51 that is bound up.

The sheet 55 that connects bag 51 is stored in the case storage room 50 with the folding form of concertina.

Make neck 52 come to obtain bag 51 gradually by on conveying bed 80, sequentially launching and line up a line from storage room 50 at topmost.

Stack of cartons

A plurality of discontinuous cartons 41 are stacked in the case storage room 40, and one is cut the pre-folded carton board as each above another on corresponding direction, prepare independently to pick and be deposited on the corresponding independent bag 51.

Carton board

Fig. 9 A shows the details of the carton board that keeps flat, the top 42,48,56 of extension and bottom 57,58 sealing tabs and selectable handle cut-outs 44.

The span of bottom side flaps 57 make the folding back of tabs overlapped-cover whole bottom section.

Bottom tabs 58 is then folding-so that three complete material layers to be provided on the bottom, thus support the impregnability of carton.

End folds 58 is the biasings at (that is, longer than another) of biasing

reflection top

42,48 during with receiving ring 14.

Like this, a kind of biasing carrying machine (not shown) can be used for (simultaneously) sealing

top

42,48 and bottom 58 tabs.

Neck aperture

Carton top tabs 42 has precut neck aperture 43 to receive and to locate the neck 52 of bag 51.

The diameter of neck aperture 43 be enough to make the gulde edge (not shown) with appropriate local extension retaining clip below bag neck 52.

Radial slit (not shown) around the hole 43 is so local segmented peripheral that produces of extension.

Take-off location

Take-off location arm (not shown) utilizes cross conveyer guiding piece 81 and the pointer steady arm that is used for bag neck 52 to refer to each carton 41 is deposited on relevant bag 51.

By drawing bag sheet 50, bag 51 in succession is increased ground by the station in succession that is used for carton 41, ring 14 and (selectable) handle 13 annexes or transfers to simultaneously and carry bed 80.

Ring

The case storage room 60 of the neck ring 14 of prefabricated (for example, the vacuum moulded shell) that piles up is arranged on the conveyer 80 each ring is deposited on the upright bag neck 52.

Ring 14 is superimposed on the carton top tabs 42.

Annular distance 61 is enough to interim local deformation by appropriateness through neck gulde edge-make carton top tabs 42 with encircle 14 and be limited between gulde edge and the bag 51.

The shape of annular distance 61 (that is, for radial periphery slit or segmentation) can be suitable at local extension that helps annex when applying nut and fixing bag neck 52.

Effect provides about the counter torque of the bag neck of (screw) cap closure annex or the anti-delivery of torque of bag neck.

Handle

Discontinuous assist handle 13 can be installed station 90 at handle and be installed on the top flaps 42 of carton and on the lateral edges 45.

The shape that prefabricated (molded) " keeps flat " is convenient to handle 13.

Utilize the local such handle 13 that is adhesively fixed.

Additional or interchangeable, handle 13 can be placed on the otch of carton main body.

In some cases, handle 13 can be 14 integrated with ring-under these circumstances, but the storage room of composite design and station is installed.

Concertina piles up

Carton 41, bag 51, neck ring 14 and (selectable) handle 13 are assembled to form sub-component 20.

The continuity of sub-component 20 is taken in sub-component row or the sheet material 71 mutually.

Sheet material 71 is drawn as the concertina folded stack in sub-component case storage room 70.

Sub-component review-summary

Flat package

Overall assembling sequence comprises:

-the bag 51 that will compress and the carton 41 of compression are also put,

-insert plug-in type steady ring 14 according to GB0314815,

Thereby-the shape of each sub-component 20 of flat package of maintenance tight compression in sub-component row 71.

The bag neck 52 of each bag 51 upwards as hole 43 in the top flaps 42 of carton 41 registration and the vertical component of location.

Automatically BIB carton fitting line 100 is supplied with by the continuous sheet 55 of bag 51 and the heap 40 of compression carton 41.

Conveyer 80 is along assembly path pulling sheet material 55, and wherein each carton 41 is in succession extracted out and is placed on the relevant bag 51 from piling 40.

Carton 41 is provided for following bag 51, and top flaps 42 and neck knock hole 43 are aimed at mutually.

Utilize sheet 19 to make to turn in side and/or the end folds 46 and in conjunction with to form around the carton cover of each bag 51 or to roll up 47.

After becoming 3D from the 2D compression shape and propping up shape, this makes top 42,48,56 and bottom 57,58 (sealing) tabs launch and carries secretly mutually.

Having the ring depository dish 60 of discharging the actuation plunger (not shown) utilizes spring clip insertion and location action to carry and install each ring 14 for each bag neck 52.

Thereby ring 14 by neck knock hole 43 with engaging of neck 52 of bag secure carton top flaps 42-effectively, carry whole carton 41 and bags 51 secretly.

Bag neck 52 also helps to make bag 51 and carton 41 to aim at and alignment by means of cross conveyor guiding piece 81 as the location vertical component.

Continuous like this carton 41 is brought on each bag 51 of bag sheet 55.

Bag sheet of being carried secretly 55 and carton ' row ' 71 are folded in the depository dish 70 with the form of concertina.

Depository dish 70 is generally carry-case, and it can be transported to final assembling and filling station at a distance, describes as existing.

Compression folded flat packing sub-component

The whole result in Fig. 2 A and 2B partial assembled stage is bag 51, carton 41, neck ring 14 and (selectable) handle 13 folding flat package of compression closely in sub-component row 71 of carrying secretly mutually or engaging.

Finally assemble and prop up

Fig. 3 A and 3B show final assembling and prop up with the 2D compression flat package sub-component 71 with Fig. 2 and change the 3D form 150 of the assembling fully of propping up into to prepare the filling content.

Preparation bag (test) expands

In this scheme, prepare to adopt middle preparation bag (test) to expand with complete closed bag 51 to carton 41.

Content-filled

In an alternative scheme, make initial bag 51 expand by content-filled, that is, walk around preliminary test and expand.

Come emptying sub-component case storage room 70 by the sub-component row of extracting out gradually based on initial bag sheet 55 71.

For preliminary expansion test station 110 provides each bag 51 and neck 52 by last.

Stack orientation when this orientation also finishes corresponding to partial assembled stage of Fig. 2.

Bag 51 is transferred bed 120 and supports.

Utilize a plurality of independently bonnets 111 to collect a plurality of bags of necks 52 simultaneously, each supplies with umbilical canal 112 by rotation catcher valve 114 and air pressure supply 113 link to each other (being shown specifically among Fig. 4).

Utilize bonnet 111 and gulde edge steady ring (not shown) to engage each bag 51 with support pouches 51 and content weight.

Accessory until bonnet 111 is engaged by neck gulde edge steady ring, thereby continuous bag 51 keeps being entrained in mutually in the initial sheet 55 of bag continuously-reach sensu lato autoregistration.

Thereby cut off back-destructions mutually or cut apart previous serialgram 55 at bonnet 111 and limit catch fitting and bag 51.

Usually utilize (section is rotated or guillotine) blade (not shown) to cut off along prefabricated weak line.

After cutting off mutually, each bag 51 freely adopts independent position and orientation with respect to the bag 51 of continuous previous combination.

When bag 51 is captured by its neck 52, utilize gulde edge to make its subject freedom dangle downwards, itself can bear such support loads.

Similarly, make carton 41 be captured by its top flaps 42 being stayed a bag gulde edge below.

But carton 41 main bodys center on top flaps corner edge folding line 49 freedom to lower swing.
