Es wird nun auf die Zeichnungen eingegangen, in denen eine autonome Lebensmittel-Verpackungsmaschine gemäß der bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung gezeigt ist und gleiche Bezugsziffern in den verschiedenen. Zeichnungen verwendet werden, um gleiche oder ähnliche Bauteile zu bezeichnen.The drawings in which an autonomous food packaging machine according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown and the same reference numbers in the different. Drawings used to be the same or similar To denote components.

Wie in den Zeichnungen dargestellt ist, ist eine Filmrolle 2 an der Oberseite eines Gehäuses 1 der Verpackungsmaschine angebracht. Diese Verpackungsmaschine ist auch mit einer einfach ein- und ausbaubaren Einzelplatte 6 versehen, in die sowohl ein plattenartiges Heizelement bzw. ein Heizpanel 4 als auch eine Schneideinrichtung, vorzugsweise eine Schneidsäge 5, integriert sind. Auf dieselbe Art und Weise, wie es für den Stand der Technik beschrieben ist, wird das Heizpanel 4 der Einzelplatte 6 zum thermischen Versiegeln des von der Rolle 2 abgewickelten und längs des oberen Randes eines Lebensmittelbehälters 3 aufgebrachten Films verwendet, um die offene Oberseite des Behälters 3 mit dem Film zu bedecken und es zu verschließen. Die Schneidsäge 5 wird zum Schneiden des Films außerhalb des oberen Randes des Behälters 3 nach dem Verschließen des Behälters 3 mit dem Film benutzt.As shown in the drawings, a film roll 2 is attached to the top of a housing 1 of the packaging machine. This packaging machine is also provided with an easy-to-install and remove individual plate 6 , in which both a plate-like heating element or a heating panel 4 and a cutting device, preferably a cutting saw 5 , are integrated. In the same manner as described for the prior art, the heating panel 4 of the single plate 6 is used to thermally seal the film unwound from the roll 2 and applied along the top edge of a food container 3 to the open top of the container 3 cover with the film and seal it. The cutting saw 5 is used to cut the film outside the upper edge of the container 3 after sealing the container 3 with the film.

Die gegenüberliegenden Seitenkanten der Einzelplatte 6 bilden zwei lineare Führungskanten 6', die bewegbar mit zwei an den Innenflächen gegenüberliegender Seitenwände des Gehäuses 1 der Maschine vorgesehenen Führungsschienen 7 in Eingriff stehen, womit die Einzelplatte 6 relativ zur Maschine linear verschiebbar ist. Die Einzelplatte 6 ist daher unter der Führung der Führungsschienen 7 herausnehmbar in das Gehäuse 1 der Maschine eingesetzt. Eine Lagerrolle 8 ist drehbar in der Mitte der Einzelplatte 6 angebracht. Diese Lagerrolle 8 ermöglicht es, daß die Einzelplatte 6 reibungslos und einfach in das Gehäuse 1 der Maschine eingesetzt oder aus diesem entfernt werden kann, ohne auf unerwünschte Weise relativ zum Gehäuse 1 der Maschine bewegt zu werden.The opposite side edges of the single plate 6 form two linear guide edges 6 ', which are movably engaged with two guide rails 7 provided on the inner surfaces of opposite side walls of the housing 1 of the machine, with which the single plate 6 is linearly displaceable relative to the machine. The single plate 6 is therefore removably inserted into the housing 1 of the machine under the guidance of the guide rails 7 . A bearing roller 8 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the single plate 6 . This bearing roller 8 enables the single plate 6 to be inserted smoothly and easily into or removed from the housing 1 of the machine without being moved in an undesirable manner relative to the housing 1 of the machine.

Nachstehend wird die Funktionsweise der Verpackungsmaschine dieser Erfindung beschrieben.Below is how the Packaging machine of this invention.

Wenn der Schalter "TS" für die Schublade an der Schalttafel 9 des Gehäuses 1 der Maschine betätigt wird, wird die Behälterhalterung 10 vom Innern des Gehäuses 1 unter Führung von Führungsrollen 11 vor dem Einsetzen eines Lebensmittelbehälters 3 in die Halterung 10 nach außen ausgefahren. Nach dem Einsetzen des Behälters 3 in die Halterung 10 wird ein Wahlschalter 12 von einem Benutzer gemäß der Temperatur des im Lebensmittelbehälter 3 enthaltenen Lebensmittels betätigt. Das heißt, wenn warmes Essen in dem Lebensmittelbehälter 3 enthalten ist, betätigt der Benutzer den Wahlschalter 12 einmal, wodurch er eine LED- Anzeige 13 für warmes Essen an der Steuertafel 9 einschaltet. Wenn andererseits gefrorene Lebensmittel im Lebensmittelbehälter 3 enthalten sind, betätigt der Benutzer den Wahlschalter 12 zweimal, wodurch eine LED-Anzeige 14 für kaltes Essen anstelle der LED-Anzeige 13 für warmes Essen eingeschaltet wird. Damit ist es dem Benutzer möglich, die Temperatur des im Behälter 3 außerhalb des Gehäuses 1 der Verpackungsmaschine enthaltenen Lebensmittels während eines Film-Verpackungsvorgangs leicht zu erkennen.If the "TS" switch for the drawer on the control panel 9 of the housing 1 of the machine is operated, the container holder 10 is extended from the interior of the housing 1 under the guidance of guide rollers 11 prior to insertion of a food container 3 into the holder 10 to the outside. After the container 3 has been inserted into the holder 10 , a selector switch 12 is actuated by a user in accordance with the temperature of the food contained in the food container 3 . That is, when hot food is contained in the food container 3 , the user operates the selector switch 12 once, thereby turning on an LED display 13 for hot food on the control panel 9 . On the other hand, when frozen food is contained in the food container 3 , the user operates the selector switch 12 twice, whereby an LED display 14 for cold food is switched on instead of the LED display 13 for hot food. This enables the user to easily recognize the temperature of the food contained in the container 3 outside the housing 1 of the packaging machine during a film packaging process.

Wenn der Schalter "TS" nach der Betätigung des Wahlschalters 12 nochmals betätigt wird, wird die Behälterhalterung 10 in das Gehäuse 1 eingeführt. Dabei wird die Halterung 10 vollständig in das Gehäuse 1 zurückgezogen, bis sie den hinteren Abschnitt innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 erreicht. Während dieses Rückzugvorgangs der Halterung 10 in das Gehäuse 1 wird der Film, der von der Filmrolle 2 bis zum hinteren Abschnitt innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 abgewickelt wurde, durch eine Klammer 15 festgehalten.If the switch "TS" is operated again after the selection switch 12 has been actuated, the container holder 10 is inserted into the housing 1 . The bracket 10 is fully retracted into the housing 1 until it reaches the rear portion within the housing 1 . During this retraction process of the holder 10 into the housing 1 , the film which has been unwound from the film roll 2 to the rear section within the housing 1 is held in place by a clamp 15 .

Wenn die Halterung 10 ihre Stelle innerhalb des Gehäuses vollständig erreicht hat, wird ein an einer Ausgangswelle eines Antriebsmotors "M" angebrachter Nocken bzw. eine Steuerkurve 6 gedreht, um die Lagerrolle 8 der Einzelplatte 6 nach unten zu drücken, während die Federkraft mehrerer Federn 17 überwunden wird. Daher wird das Heizelement 4 der Einzelplatte 6 nach unten auf den oberen Rand des in die Halterung 10 eingesetzten Behälters 3 hin bewegt, wobei der Film zwischen dem Heizelement 4 und dem oberen Rand des Behälters 3 positioniert ist. Wenn das Heizelement 4 den Film gegen den oberen Rand des Behälters drückt bzw. komprimiert, wird der Film infolge des von dem Heizelement 4 auf den Film einwirkenden Drucks und der Hitze am oberen Rand des Behälters 3 heißversiegelt bzw. damit verschweißt.When the holder 10 has completely reached its position within the housing, a cam or a control cam 6 attached to an output shaft of a drive motor "M" is rotated in order to press the bearing roller 8 of the individual plate 6 downwards while the spring force of a plurality of springs 17 is overcome. Therefore, the heating element 4 of the single plate 6 is moved down towards the upper edge of the container 3 inserted into the holder 10 , the film being positioned between the heating element 4 and the upper edge of the container 3 . When the heating element 4 presses or compresses the film against the upper edge of the container, the film is heat-sealed or welded to the upper edge of the container 3 due to the pressure and the heat acting on the film from the heating element 4 .

Dabei wird das Heizelement 4 durch eine in dem Gehäuse 1 installierte Wärmequelle 18 indirekt beheizt.The heating element 4 is indirectly heated by a heat source 18 installed in the housing 1 .

Wenn warmes Essen in dem Behälter 3 enthalten ist, versiegelt das Heizelement 4 den Film am oberen Rand des Behälters 3 durch 2 Schritte, wie folgt. Das heißt, wenn warmes Essen im Behälter 3 enthalten ist, erhitzt und komprimiert das Heizelement 4 den Film zunächst für etwa 1 bis 2 Sekunden und stoppt ihren Erhitzungs- und Komprimiervorgang dann für eine vorbestimmte Zeit, bevor sie den Film ein zweites Mal für etwa 1 bis 2 Sekunden erhitzt und komprimiert, um den Vorgang des Heißversiegelns des Films an den oberen Rand des Behälters 3 abzuschließen. Da Dampf von dem im Behälter 3 enthaltenen, warmen Essen die Oberfläche des Films benetzt, ist es fast unmöglich, den Film an den oberen Rand des Behälters 3 durch einen einzigen Erhitzungs- und Komprimierschritt komplett zu versiegeln. Es ist in diesem Fall erforderlich, den Film am oberen Rand des Behälters 3 durch 2 Schritte zu erhitzen und zu komprimieren. Wenn der Behälter 3 jedoch kaltes Essen enthält, erhitzt das Heizelement 4 den Film nur einmal für etwa 1 bis 2 Sekunden, um den Heißversiegelungsvorgang abzuschließen.When hot food is contained in the container 3 , the heating element 4 seals the film at the top of the container 3 by 2 steps as follows. That is, when hot food is contained in the container 3 , the heating element 4 first heats and compresses the film for about 1 to 2 seconds, and then stops its heating and compressing process for a predetermined time before it takes the film a second time for about 1 heated and compressed for 2 seconds to complete the process of heat sealing the film to the top of the container 3 . Because steam from the hot food contained in container 3 wets the surface of the film, it is almost impossible to completely seal the film to the top of container 3 by a single heating and compressing step. In this case, it is necessary to heat and compress the film at the top of the container 3 in two steps. However, if the container 3 contains cold food, the heating element 4 heats the film only once for about 1 to 2 seconds to complete the heat sealing process.

Nach dem Vorgang des Heißversiegelns des Films an den oberen Rand des Behälters 3 wird die Schneidsäge 5 automatisch durch ein voreingestelltes Programm nach unten zum Film bewegt, wodurch sie den Film außerhalb des oberen Rands des Behälters 3 durchtrennt. Danach wird die Behälterhalterung 10 mit dem Behälter 3 automatisch aus dem Innern des Gehäuses 1 durch das voreingestellte Programm nach außen befördert, was dem Benutzer gestattet, den Behälter 3 einfach aus der Halterung 10 zu entnehmen.After the process of heat sealing the film to the top of the container 3 , the cutting saw 5 is automatically moved down to the film by a preset program, thereby cutting the film outside the top of the container 3 . Thereafter, the container holder 10 with the container 3 is automatically conveyed out of the interior of the housing 1 by the preset program outwardly, permitting the user to easily remove the container from the holder 3 10th

Wenn eine Reparatur oder ein Austausch des Heizelements 4 oder der Schneidsäge 5 erfolgen soll, drückt der Benutzer nach Öffnen einer Vorderplatte 19 des Gehäuses 1 unter Kraftaufwand die Einzelplatte 6 von der Hinterseite zur Vorderseite des Gehäuses 1. Die Einzelplatte 6 wird damit aus dem Innern des Gehäuses 1 unter der Führung der Lagerrolle 8 nach außen befördert, während sie die Federkraft der Federn 17 überwindet. Der Benutzer kann dann das Heizelement 4 oder die Schneidsäge 5, wenn nötig, einfach reparieren oder austauschen.If repair or replacement of the heating element 4 or the cutting saw 5 is to take place, the user pushes the housing 1, after opening a front plate 19 by force the individual plate 6 from the rear side to the front side of the housing. 1 The single plate 6 is thus conveyed from the inside of the housing 1 to the outside under the guidance of the bearing roller 8 , while overcoming the spring force of the springs 17 . The user can then easily repair or replace the heating element 4 or the cutting saw 5 if necessary.
