Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Siegelwerkzeug, insbesondere an einer Schlauchbeutel-Verpackungsmaschine, mit zwei beheiz baren, gegeneinander beweglichen Siegelbacken zum Herstel len einer Siegelnaht an flexiblen, siegelfähigen Folien, insbesondere an Verbundfolien mit mindestens einer siegel fähigen Kunststoffschicht, durch thermisches Siegeln der in Teilbereichen der Siegelnaht in unterschiedlicher Anzahl paarweise aufeinander liegenden, von den Siegelbacken unter der Wirkung einer Siegelkraft eingeklemmten und so während des Siegelns einem Siegeldruck ausgesetzten Folien, bei spielsweise einer Quer-Siegelnaht an einem durch eine Längs-Siegelnaht hergestellten Kunststoff-Schlauch zur Er zeugung einer Kunststoffverpackung (Schlauchbeutel).The invention relates to a sealing tool, in particular a tubular bag packaging machine, with two heated removable, mutually movable sealing jaws for the manufacture len a sealing seam on flexible, sealable foils, especially on composite films with at least one seal capable plastic layer, by thermal sealing the in Parts of the sealed seam in different numbers in pairs on top of each other, from the sealing jaws below the effect of a sealing force pinched and so during of the films exposed to a seal print, at for example a cross seal seam on one by one Longitudinal sealing seam made of plastic tubing for Er production of a plastic packaging (tubular bag).
Werkstücke dieser Art machen das Siegeln schwierig. Während bei einer ununterbrochen in der gleichen Stärke durchgehen den Siegelnaht, beispielsweise bei der Längs-Siegelnaht der überlappten Kanten eines Kunststoff-Schlauches, ein ge eigneter konstanter Siegeldruck und eine geeignete Siegel temperatur problemlos mit dem Siegelwerkzeug erzeugt werden können, gestaltet sich das viel schwieriger, wenn von den Siegelbacken in Teilbereichen eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Lagen der gleichen Folie miteinander zu versiegeln sind. Das betrifft beispielsweise umgefaltete Längs-Siegel nähte oder eingeschlagene Seitenfalten, bei denen jeweils zwei Paar aufeinanderliegender Folienpartien, dazwischen aber nur jeweils ein Paar der gleichen Folie zu versiegeln sind, wenn über die Längs-Siegelnaht und die Seitenfalten eine Quer-Siegelnaht gezogen werden soll; in der Regel wird mit einer Schneidvorrichtung anschließend diese Quer-Sie gelnaht halbiert, so daß auf diese Weise aus dem Kunst stoff-Schlauch individuelle Schlauchbeutel entstehen.Workpieces of this type make sealing difficult. While go through with the same strength continuously the sealed seam, for example in the longitudinal sealed seam of the overlapped edges of a plastic hose, a ge proper constant seal pressure and a suitable seal temperature can be easily generated with the sealing tool it is much more difficult if of the Sealing jaws in different areas a different number of layers of the same film to seal together are. This applies to folded longitudinal seals, for example stitched or folded gussets, each of which two pairs of foils lying on top of each other, in between but only seal one pair of the same film at a time are when over the longitudinal sealed seam and the gussets a cross seal seam is to be drawn; usually will with a cutter then cross-them halved, so that this way from art individual fabric bags are created.
Damit eine solche Quer-Siegelnaht absolut dicht hergestellt wird, werden die Siegelbacken mit einer Siegelkraft auf die Folien gepreßt, die weit über derjenigen für eine einlagige Siegelnaht gleicher Dicke liegt, weil die zu versiegelnden Schichten im Teilbereich aufeinanderliegender doppel- oder mehrlagiger Siegelnähte soweit zusammengequetscht werden müssen, daß von der planen Siegelfläche der Siegelbacken auch die übrigen (einlagigen) Teilbereiche sicher gesiegelt werden. Besonders ungünstig ist ein solches Siegeln bei Verbundfolien, bei denen dafür gesorgt werden muß, daß die nicht siegelfähige Trägerschicht, die beispielsweise aus Papier, Metall (Aluminium) oder einem Kunststoff (Poly ester, Propylen) bestehen kann, unzerstört bleibt. Man kann sich behelfen, indem die siegelfähige Kunststoffschicht (Polyäthylen) wesentlich dicker als und mindestens doppelt so dick wie die Trägerschicht ausgebildet ist. Weil dabei aber die Trägerschicht aus mechanischen Gründen nicht be liebig dünn ausgeführt werden kann, ergibt sich eine Ge samtdicke der Folie in einer Größenordnung, wie sie dem je weiligen Verwendungszweck zumeist eigentlich gar nicht an gemessen ist.So that such a cross-sealed seam is made absolutely tight the sealing jaws with a sealing force on the Pressed films that are well above that for a single ply Sealing seam of the same thickness lies because the one to be sealed Layers in the partial area of superimposed double or multi-layer sealing seams are squeezed as far as possible must that of the flat sealing surface of the sealing jaws the remaining (single-layer) sections are also securely sealed become. Such a seal is particularly unfavorable Composite foils, where it must be ensured that the non-sealable carrier layer, for example made of Paper, metal (aluminum) or a plastic (poly ester, propylene) can remain undamaged. One can help yourself by the sealable plastic layer (Polyethylene) much thicker than and at least twice as thick as the carrier layer. Because there but the carrier layer is not be for mechanical reasons can be carried out as thin as desired, a Ge results velvet thickness of the film in a range as ever mostly does not actually exist for the intended purpose is measured.
Die Erfindung hat sich deshalb die Aufgabe gestellt, ein Siegelwerkzeug der eingangs näher bezeichneten Art so aus zubilden, daß das Dicken-Verhältnis der Trägerschicht und der siegelbaren Kunststoffschicht ohne Rücksicht auf das Siegeln optimal wählbar ist und gleichwohl eine über eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von zu siegelnden Lagen geführte Siegelnaht einwandfrei herstellbar ist, ohne eine der Schichten zu stören oder zu zerstören.The invention has therefore set itself the task Sealing tool of the type specified in the introduction to form that the thickness ratio of the support layer and the sealable plastic layer regardless of the Sealing is optimally selectable and nevertheless one over one different number of layers to be sealed Seal seam can be produced without any problems To disrupt or destroy layers.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß minde stens eine der Siegelbacken in der Richtung der Siegelkraft geteilt und aus mehreren flächig aneinanderliegenden, zu mindest zu einem Teil blechförmigen Siegelsegmenten zusam mengesetzt ist, die in einer Aufnahme eines Segmenthalters zusammenfassend angeordnet sind, daß weiterhin die blech förmigen Siegelsegmente jeweils mit einer quer zu der Sie gelnaht gerichteten, deren Breite und Form bestimmenden, oblongen Siegelfläche versehen sind, daß ferner die blech förmigen Siegelsegmente unter der Wirkung des Siegeldruckes in der Aufnahme in der Richtung der Siegelkraft einzeln ge geneinander und gegen die Aufnahme beweglich sind, und daß schließlich der Segmenthalter beheizbar und insgesamt der Siegelkraft aussetzbar ist.According to the invention the object is achieved in that mind at least one of the sealing jaws in the direction of the sealing force divided and made up of several flat ones at least part of a sheet-shaped sealing segment is set in a recording of a segment holder are summarized that continue the sheet shaped seal segments each with a cross to the you stitched, the width and shape of which determine Oblongen sealing surface are provided that the sheet shaped seal segments under the effect of the seal pressure individually in the recording in the direction of the sealing force against each other and against the recording are movable, and that finally the segment holder heatable and the total Sealing force is subject to exposure.
Auf diese Weise ist die Siegelfläche nicht mehr flächig- starr, sondern paßt sich - zumindest dort, wo das erforder lich ist - dem Profil der zu siegelnden Stücke an, dieses Profil beibehaltend und trotzdem die erforderlichen Siegel nähte bei gleichbleibender Temperatur und womöglich auch gleichbleibendem Siegeldruck zuverlässig in ganzer Länge erzeugend.In this way, the sealing surface is no longer flat rigid, but fits - at least where it requires it is - the profile of the pieces to be sealed, this Maintaining the profile and still the necessary seals stitched at a constant temperature and possibly also consistent sealing pressure reliably over its entire length generating.
Besonders effektiv ist das Siegelwerkzeug einsetzbar, wenn die blechförmigen Siegelsegmente in der Richtung der Sie gelkraft federnd ausgebildet sind; da die Federwege, wie es in der Natur der Sache liegt, nur relativ klein sind, kann ohne Schwierigkeit, beispielsweise durch entsprechende Be messung der Vorspannung, erreicht werden, daß die Siegel drücke auf die Siegelflächen der unterschiedlich bewegten Siegelsegmente nur wenig differieren.The sealing tool can be used particularly effectively if the sheet-shaped sealing segments in the direction of you gel force are resilient; because the travel like it is in the nature of things, can only be relatively small without difficulty, for example by means of appropriate loading measurement of the preload, achieved that the seal press on the sealing surfaces of the differently moved Seal segments differ little.
Besonders einfach gestaltet sich das erfindungsgemäße Sie gelwerkzeug, wenn an dem Segmenthalter eine Basisfläche der Aufnahme ausgebildet ist, an der die Siegelsegmente jeweils mit ihrer der Siegelfläche abgewandten Seite ortsfest an liegen. Dabei können die Siegelsegmente an der Basisfläche befestigt sein und/oder jeweils mindestens einen Anschlag bund aufweisen, der an einer entsprechenden Anschlagleiste des Segmenthalters unter Vorspannung anliegt. Auf diese Weise werden alle blechförmigen oder - dort, wo eine derar tige, feine Unterteilung der Siegelbacken nicht erforder lich ist, wie etwa an längeren zusammenhängenden, aus einer einzigen doppelten Lage der Folien bestehenden Teilberei chen der Siegelnaht - blockförmigen Siegelsegmente zusam menfassend gehaltert. Während die blockförmigen, nicht fe dernden Siegelsegmente allein durch ihre Formgebung zwi schen der Anschlagleiste und der Basisfläche der Aufnahme arretierbar sind, ist es erfindungsgemäß möglich, daß die blechförmigen Siegelsegmente mit ihrem jeweiligen Anschlag bund federnd an der Anschlagleiste anliegen.The inventive method is particularly simple gel tool if a base surface of the Recording is formed on the sealing segments each with its side facing away from the sealing surface lie. The sealing segments on the base surface be attached and / or at least one stop each have the collar on a corresponding stop bar of the segment holder is under prestress. To this Wise are all sheet-shaped or - where one derar Subtle subdivision of the sealing jaws is not necessary is, like on longer coherent, from one single double layer of the existing film section the sealing seam - block-shaped sealing segments together fully supported. While the block-shaped, not fe changing sealing segments solely by their shape between the stop bar and the base surface of the receptacle can be locked, it is possible according to the invention that the sheet-shaped sealing segments with their respective stops rest resiliently on the stop bar.
Eine solche Anordnung kann außerordentlich variabel gestal tet und so den jeweiligen Werkstücken spezifisch angepaßt werden. Während die einzelnen Siegelsegmente sämtlich si cher in der Aufnahme des Segmenthalters gelagert sind, kön nen sie in einem einzigen Freiheitsgrad bewegt werden, wo bei der durch den Siegeldruck erzeugte Federweg variabel sein kann oder - bei blockförmigen Siegelsegmenten - ganz verschwindet.Such an arrangement can be extremely variable in design tet and thus specifically adapted to the respective workpieces become. While the individual seal segments all si cher are stored in the receptacle of the segment holder, can they can be moved in a single degree of freedom where variable in the spring travel generated by the seal pressure can be or - in the case of block-shaped sealing segments - entirely disappears.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die blechförmigen Siegelsegmente als in der Richtung der Siegelkraft selbstfedernde Stegbleche ausgebildet sind. Solche Siegelsegmente sind relativ einfach herstellbar und vermeiden die mit einem gesonderten Federungssystem verbun denen höheren Kosten und konstruktiven Schwierigkeiten. Sie sind leicht auswechsel- und beliebig kombinierbar, ohne daß es dazu umfangreicher Demontage- und Zusammenbauarbeiten bedürfte; statt dessen können die damit verbundenen Arbeiten ohne besondere Fachkenntnisse vorgenommen werden.A preferred embodiment of the invention is that the sheet-shaped sealing segments as in the direction of the Sealing force self-resilient web plates are formed. Such sealing segments are relatively easy to manufacture and avoid using a separate suspension system those higher costs and constructive difficulties. she are easily exchangeable and can be combined as required without extensive disassembly and assembly work needed; instead, the work involved be carried out without special expertise.
Im einzelnen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Siegelsegmente quer zu der Richtung der Siegelkraft schlitzförmige Ausneh mungen aufweisen, zwischen denen jeweils Federstege ver bleiben, wobei die Ausnehmungen Verbindungsstege in den Siegelsegmenten belassen können, die als Einspannstellen der Federstege wirken, um welche diese Federstege ver schwenkt werden, wenn der Siegeldruck das jeweilige Siegel segment belastet. Es ist leicht zu erkennen, daß damit viele Einflußmöglichkeiten zur Gestaltung der Federung vor gegeben sind; abgesehen von den Werkstoffeigenschaften (Elastizitätsmodul) der Stegbleche stehen dazu viele geome trische Parameter zur Verfügung.In particular, it is advantageous if the sealing segments slit-shaped recess transverse to the direction of the sealing force mung between which each spring bars ver remain, with the recesses connecting webs in the Can leave sealing segments that as clamping points the spring bars act by which these spring bars ver be pivoted when the seal pressure the respective seal segment loaded. It is easy to see that with that many possibilities to influence the design of the suspension given are; apart from the material properties (Modulus of elasticity) of the web plates there are many geome trical parameters available.
Die Federstege können einen Mäander oder jeweils eine ge schlossene Konfiguration um eine gemeinsame Ausnehmung bil den, und dabei kann das Siegelsegment in Bezug auf die Richtung der Siegelkraft symmetrisch ausgebildet und die Verbindungsstege können mittig belassen sein, oder das Sie gelsegment ist in Bezug auf die Richtung der Siegelkraft asymmetrisch ausgebildet und die Verbindungsstege sind zu mindest teilweise außermittig belassen.The spring bars can be a meander or a ge closed configuration around a common recess bil den, and thereby the sealing segment in relation to the The direction of the sealing force is symmetrical and the Connecting bars can be left in the middle, or you Gel segment is in relation to the direction of the sealing force asymmetrical and the connecting bars are closed at least partially leave it off-center.
Um Schlauchbeutel aus einem Kunststoff-Schlauch zu verein zeln, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Siegelsegmente mit einem in der Richtung der Siegelkraft verlaufenden, von der je weiligen Siegelfläche ausgehenden Querschlitz ausgebildet sind, der die Siegelfläche in zwei Teilflächen unterteilt, wobei die Querschlitze aller Siegelsegmente einen Längs schlitz ausbilden, in den ein in einer zweiten Siegelbacke gelagertes, zur Trennung der gesiegelten Folien geeignetes Trennmesser einführbar ist.To combine tubular bags from a plastic tube teln, it is advantageous if the sealing segments with a in the direction of the sealing force, depending on the because of the sealing surface of the outgoing cross slot that divides the sealing surface into two parts, the transverse slots of all sealing segments being longitudinal form a slot in the one in a second sealing jaw stored, suitable for separating the sealed foils Cutting knife is insertable.
Die Bewegung zwischen den einzelnen Stegblechen kann er leichtert werden, indem die Siegelsegmente auf mindestens einer an jeweils einem benachbarten Siegelsegment anliegen den Segmentfläche mit einer die Haft- und Gleitreibung zwi schen den Segmentflächen vermindernden Beschichtung verse hen sind; in einfachster Form sind sie mit Polytetrafluor äthylen beschichtet.He can move between the individual web plates be facilitated by the sealing segments on at least one against an adjacent sealing segment the segment surface with a static and sliding friction between between the segment surfaces reducing coating hen are; in the simplest form, they are with polytetrafluor coated with ethylene.
Durch den Einfluß von Siegeldruck und -temperatur, so wie dem zu verpackenden Produkt, können sich mit der Zeit im Bereich der Siegelsegmente Rückstände und Verschmutzungen bilden, die zu einer Beeinträchtigung der Funktionssicher heit des Siegelwerkzeuges führen könnte. Diese kann dadurch vermieden werden, daß an dem Segmenthalter ein Druckluftan schluß vorgesehen ist, in den Druckluft zur Spülung des Siegelwerkzeuges einleitbar ist.Due to the influence of sealing pressure and temperature, such as the product to be packaged may change over time Area of the sealing segments residues and dirt form, which leads to a functional impairment unit of the sealing tool. This can be avoided that a compressed air on the segment holder is provided in the compressed air for flushing the Sealing tool can be initiated.
Schließlich ist es möglich, daß statt glatter Siegelflächen diese mit einer Riffelung versehen sind.Finally, it is possible that instead of smooth sealing surfaces they are corrugated.
Insgesamt verbessert die Erfindung die Möglichkeit, eine Siegelnaht an Kunststoffolien herzustellen, die in unter schiedlicher Anzahl mehrfach übereinander gelegt sind, ohne daß dabei Trägerfolien zerstört werden oder überdimensio nierte Siegelschichten notwendig werden, wobei trotzdem eine dichte Siegelnaht gewährleistet ist. Die Einsparung an Siegelschichtdicken und damit von Material ist erheblich und beträgt bis zu 50 Prozent.Overall, the invention improves the possibility of a To produce a sealed seam on plastic films that are in under different numbers are placed on top of each other several times without that carrier films are destroyed or overdimensioned nier sealing layers become necessary, although a tight seal is guaranteed. The saving on Sealing layer thicknesses and therefore material is considerable and is up to 50 percent.

In der Fig. 1 ist als typisches Werkstück für ein erfin dungsgemäßes Siegelwerkzeug ein Kunststoff-Beutel B im ver einfachten Querschnitt dargestellt. Er besteht aus zwei aufeinanderliegenden flexiblen, siegelfähigen Folien F1 und F2, die durch eine Längs-Siegelnaht LS bereits zu einem Kunststoff-Schlauch gefügt sind. Zwei eingestochene Seiten falten SF bilden nach der Befüllung des Kunststoff-Beutels B dessen Seitenwände. Um aus dem ursprünglichen Kunststoff- Schlauch die Kunststoff-Beutel B zu gewinnen, sind Quer- Siegelnähte erforderlich, in deren Bereich die Kunststoff- Beutel B durch Trennmesser vereinzelt werden.In Fig. 1, a plastic bag B is shown in a simple cross-section as a typical workpiece for an inventive sealing tool. It consists of two superimposed flexible, sealable foils F1 and F2, which are already joined to a plastic tube by a longitudinal sealing seam LS. After the plastic bag B has been filled, two pierced sides fold SF to form its side walls. In order to obtain the plastic bags B from the original plastic hose, transverse sealing seams are required, in the area of which the plastic bags B are separated by a separating knife.
Besonders in der Fig. 2 ist gut zu erkennen, daß die Folien F1 und F2 jeweils aus einer siegelfähigen Kunststoffschicht KS und einer nicht siegelbaren Trägerschicht TS zusammenge setzt sind. Diese besteht in der Regel aus Papier, Metall oder einem Kunststoff wie Polyester oder Propylen, die bei der Siegeltemperatur unzerstört bleiben, während die sie gelfähigen, aufeinanderliegenden Kunststoffschichten KS z. B. aus Polyäthylen bestehen und beim Stand der Technik we sentlich dicker als und mindestens doppelt so dick wie die Trägerschicht TS ausgebildet sein müssen.Particularly in Fig. 2 can be clearly seen that the films F1 and F2 respectively together quantity of a sealable plastic layer KS and a non sealable carrier layer TS is shown. This usually consists of paper, metal or a plastic such as polyester or propylene, which remain undamaged at the sealing temperature, while the gelable, superimposed plastic layers KS z. B. are made of polyethylene and in the prior art we must be considerably thicker than and at least twice as thick as the carrier layer TS.
Wird eine im Teilbereich der Längs-Siegelnaht LS vierlagige Bahn der Folien F1 und F2 mit einem zum Stand der Technik gehörigen Siegelwerkzeug mit starren Siegelbacken gesie gelt, dann müssen die Kunststoffschichten KS im Bereich der Längs-Siegelnaht LS soweit zusammengequetscht werden, daß auch der sonstige, zweilagige Teilbereich mit einer dichten Quer-Siegelnaht sicher versiegelt wird. Die schematische Darstellung der Fig. 3 soll andeuten, daß dabei die Kunst stoffschicht KS im Teilbereich der Längs-Siegelnaht LS er heblich komprimiert und/oder verdrängt werden muß, um ein solches Ergebnis abzusichern und eine Mindestdicke von ca. 200 Prozent der Trägerschicht TS haben muß, wenn diese nicht beschädigt werden soll.If a four-layer web of foils F1 and F2 is sealed in the partial area of the longitudinal sealing seam LS with a sealing tool belonging to the prior art with rigid sealing jaws, then the plastic layers KS in the area of the longitudinal sealing seam LS must be squeezed together to such an extent that the other , two-layer section is securely sealed with a dense cross-sealed seam. The schematic representation of FIG. 3 is intended to indicate that the plastic layer KS in the partial region of the longitudinal sealing seam LS must be compressed and / or displaced to ensure such a result and have a minimum thickness of approximately 200 percent of the carrier layer TS must if it should not be damaged.
In der Fig. 5 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Siegelwerkzeug mit seinen funktionswesentlichen Einzelheiten in einer schema tischen Vorderansicht dargestellt. Es besteht aus einer er sten, in der Fig. 5 oberen Siegelbacke 10, die entsprechend denjenigen Ausführungen ausgebildet ist, wie sie dem Fach mann geläufig sind, so daß auf die Angabe weiterer Einzel heiten verzichtet worden ist; es ist allerdings zu erken nen, daß in der Siegelbacke 10 ein Trennmesser 11 vorgese hen sein kann, welches in einer eine ansonsten starre Siegelfläche 12 unterbrechenden Lagerausnehmung 13 unterge bracht ist. Es kann in der Lagerausnehmung 13 senkrecht nach unten bewegt werden und trennt dabei einen (komplett versiegelten) Kunststoff-Beutel B von einem in der Fig. 5 angedeuteten Kunststoff-Schlauch K ab.In FIG. 5, an inventive sealing tool is shown with its essential functional details, in a schematic front view. It consists of a he most, in Fig. 5 upper sealing jaw 10 , which is designed in accordance with those designs, as the man is familiar with, so that further details have been omitted; However, it can be seen that a separating knife 11 can be provided in the sealing jaw 10 , which in an otherwise rigid sealing surface 12 interrupting the bearing recess 13 is inserted. It can be moved vertically downward in the bearing recess 13 and thereby separates a (completely sealed) plastic bag B from a plastic hose K indicated in FIG. 5.
Eine zweite, in der Fig. 5 untere Siegelbacke 20 besteht in erfindungsgemäßer Weise aus einem Paket von blechförmigen Siegelsegmenten 21, zwischen denen (Fig. 6) auch blockför mige Siegelsegmente 21 angeordnet sein können. Alle diese Siegelsegmente 21 sind in einer Aufnahme 22 eines Segment halters 23 ortsfest an- und untergebracht. Die Siegelseg mente 21 liegen auf einer Basisfläche 23a innerhalb der Aufnahme 22 auf und sind dort gegebenenfalls befestigt; sie sind jeweils mit einem beiderseitigen Anschlagbund 21a ver sehen, der an einer zugehörigen Anschlagleiste 23b des Segmenthalters 23 federnd vorgespannt so anschlägt, daß die Siegelsegmente 21 eine gemeinsame ebene Siegelfläche 210 bilden, wenn sie nicht, wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt, gegen seitig verschoben sind.A second, in Fig. 5 lower sealing jaw 20 consists according to the invention from a package of sheet-shaped sealing segments 21 , between which ( Fig. 6) blockför shaped sealing segments 21 can be arranged. All of these sealing segments 21 are fixed and accommodated in a receptacle 22 of a segment holder 23 . The Siegelseg elements 21 lie on a base surface 23 a within the receptacle 22 and are optionally attached there; they are each seen with a bilateral stop collar 21 a ver biased against an associated stop bar 23 b of the segment holder 23 so that the sealing segments 21 form a common flat sealing surface 210 when they are not, as shown in Fig. 6, against are shifted laterally.
Die Form der Siegelsegmente 21 in der Fig. 5 macht deut lich, daß diese einfedern können, wenn ihre (individuelle) Siegelfläche 21b (Fig. 7 bis 9) einem von einer Siegelkraft F (Fig. 5) erzeugten Siegeldruck an dem eingeklemmten Kunststoff-Schlauch K ausgesetzt ist. Die Siegelkraft F wird den Siegelbacken 10, 20 in bekannter Weise als Aktions- oder Reaktionskraft eingeprägt, in relativ beliebiger Weise; die Einzelheiten stehen mit der Erfindung nicht im Zusammenhang und sind in der Zeichnung nicht berücksich tigt.The shape of the sealing segments 21 in FIG. 5 makes it clear that they can deflect when their (individual) sealing surface 21 b ( FIGS. 7 to 9) generates a sealing pressure on the clamped plastic from a sealing force F ( FIG. 5) Hose K is exposed. The sealing force F is impressed on the sealing jaws 10 , 20 in a known manner as an action or reaction force, in a relatively arbitrary manner; the details are not related to the invention and are not taken into account in the drawing.
In der Fig. 6 ist die Wirkungsweise des erfindungsgemäßen Siegelwerkzeuges leicht zu erkennen. Die (obere) Siegel backe 10 ist weggelassen, und es ist nur die Umgebung einer vierlagigen, querzusiegelnden Längs-Siegelnaht LS gezeigt. In deren Bereich weichen die Siegelsegmente 21 unter dem Eindruck des anstehenden Siegeldruckes aus und federn ein, so daß der Siegeldruck an dieser Stelle auch dann nicht we sentlich erhöht ist, wenn die übrigen Siegelsegmente 21 den zweilagigen Teilbereich der zu erzeugenden Quer-Siegelnaht erfassen.In FIG. 6, the operation of the sealing tool according to the invention is easy to recognize. The (upper) sealing jaw 10 is omitted and only the vicinity of a four-layer, longitudinally sealed longitudinal sealing seam LS is shown. In their area, the sealing segments 21 evade under the impression of the upcoming sealing pressure and deflect, so that the sealing pressure at this point is not significantly increased when the other sealing segments 21 capture the two-layer part of the transverse sealing seam to be produced.
Wie die blechförmigen Siegelsegmente 21 im einzelnen ausge bildet sein können, zeigen die Fig. 7 bis 9. Es sind schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen 21c in den Siegelsegmenten 21 vorgesehen in der Weise, daß Federstege 21d verbleiben, die durch Verbindungsstege 21e miteinander und mit dem übrigen Siegelsegment 21 verbunden sind. Entsprechend sind die Sie gelsegmente 21 als federnde Stegbleche ausgebildet, deren Siegelfläche 21b unter Druckbelastung (in der Zeichnung) nach unten bewegbar ist, während eine Auflagefläche 21g an der Basisfläche 23a (Fig. 5) unverrückbar bleibt. Die Fe derstege 21d werden dabei um die Verbindungsstege 21e ver schwenkt, welche deren Einspannstellen bilden.Can be as the sheet-shaped seal segments 21 is in the different test, FIG. 7 show to 9. There are slot-shaped recesses 21 c in the seal segments 21 are provided in such a manner that the spring webs remain d 21 by connecting webs 21 e and with each other remaining seal segment 21 are connected. Accordingly, you gel segments 21 are designed as resilient web plates, the sealing surface 21 b of which can be moved downward under pressure (in the drawing), while a bearing surface 21 g on the base surface 23 a ( FIG. 5) remains immovable. The Fe derstege 21 d are thereby pivots 21 e ver to the connecting webs which form the clamping points.
Die nicht blech- sondern vielmehr blockförmigen Siegelseg mente 21 (Fig. 6) bleiben beim Siegeln starr; sämtliche Siegelsegmente 21 sind jedoch von der Siegelbacke 20 aus beheizbar. Die zugehörigen fachüblichen Einzelheiten sind in der Zeichnung weggelassen, ebenso wie ein möglicherweise in der Siegelbacke 20 vorgesehener Druckluftanschluß für die Bereitstellung von Druckluft zum Durchspülen des Ge samtpaketes der blechförmigen Siegelsegmente 21, die außer dem zumindest auf einer ihrer Segmentflächen mit einem die Reibung verbessernden Werkstoff beschichtet sein können. Alle diese Einzelheiten stehen in keinem unmittelbaren Zu sammenhang mit der Erfindung, so daß auf eine ausführliche Erörterung verzichtet werden kann.The not sheet-metal but rather block-shaped sealing segments 21 ( FIG. 6) remain rigid during sealing; however, all sealing segments 21 can be heated from the sealing jaw 20 . The associated specialist details are omitted in the drawing, as well as a possibly provided in the sealing jaw 20 compressed air connection for the provision of compressed air for flushing through the entire package of the sheet-shaped sealing segments 21 , which besides the coated at least on one of their segment surfaces with a friction-improving material could be. All these details are not directly related to the invention, so that a detailed discussion can be dispensed with.
Ist eine Trennvorrichtung in Form eines Trennmessers 11 (Fig. 5) vorgesehen, dann erhalten die Siegelsegmente 21 durchweg einen entsprechenden Querschlitz 21f (in Fig. 5 und 7 nur strichpunktiert angedeutet), der die Siegelfläche 21b in zwei Teilflächen 21b′ und 21b′′ (Fig. 8) unterteilt. In der Regel werden auf diese Weise eine erste Quer-Siegel naht zum Verschluß eines befüllten Kunststoff-Beutels B und eine zweite Quer-Siegelnaht zur Bildung eines Bodens für einen nächstfolgenden Kunststoff-Beutel B gleichzeitig her gestellt, und anschließend wird der befüllte Kunststoff- Beutel B vereinzelt.Is a separating device in the form of a dividing knife 11 (Fig. 5) is provided, then get the seal segments 21 throughout a respective transverse slot 21 f (in Fig. 5 and 7, only indicated in phantom), of the sealing surface 21 b into two partial surfaces 21 b ', and 21 b '' ( Fig. 8) divided. As a rule, a first cross-seal seams for closing a filled plastic bag B and a second cross-seal seam for forming a bottom for a next-following plastic bag B are simultaneously produced in this way, and then the filled plastic bag B isolated.
In der Zeichnung ist die Oberflächenstruktur der Siegelflä chen 21b nicht zu erkennen; sie kann glatt oder geriffelt sein.In the drawing, the surface structure of the sealing surfaces 21 b cannot be seen; it can be smooth or corrugated.
