Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen und Füllen von Beuteln, ausgehend von einem auf einer Spule aufgewickelten Band, wobei das Band vertikal nach unten gerichtet und parallel zur oberen Wand eines Wickeldorns zugeführt wird. Derartige Beutel aus flexiblem Material sind geeignet zur Verpackung von körnigen oder pulverförmigen Substanzen, wie Kaffee oder Mehl.The invention relates to a device for producing and filling bags, starting from a band wound on a spool, the band being directed vertically downwards and being fed parallel to the upper wall of a winding mandrel. Such bags made of flexible material are suitable for packaging granular or powdery substances, such as coffee or flour.

Es sind bereits Vorrichtungen zum Formen und Füllen von Beuteln aus flexiblem Material bekannt, bei welchen beispielsweise Papierfolien zum Formen von Beuteln durch Wickeln um Wickeldorne eines Drehkranzes bzw. Revolverkopfes verwendet werden (FR-A-1 281 258). Dort wird ein Abschnitt einer Folie den Wickeldornen eines Drehkranzes, welcher auf einer horizontalen Ebene angeordnet ist, horizontal zugeführt. Die Empfindlichkeit des Materials und die Instabilität der horizontalen Anordnung des zu wickelnden Abschnittes bzw. Bogens beschränken die Zuverlässigkeit und die Produktivität der gegenwärtig handelsüblichen Vorrichtung. Überdies haben diese Vorrichtungen den schwerwiegenden Nachteil, daß der horizontal geformte Beutel aufgerichtet werden muß, damit er die für den Füllarbeitsgang unerläßliche vertikale Stellung annimmt. Die bekannten Vorrichtungen müssen für den Arbeitsgang des Ausfädelns der Beutel von den Wickeldornen und zum Überführen zu Tragerkästen angehalten werden. Diese unerläßlichen zyklischen Aufenthalte beschränken die Produktivität der bekannten Vorrichtungen, wobei sie überdies schwerwiegende kinematische Nachteile schaffen. Die Handhabung des flexiblen und empfindlichen Körpers eines leeren Beutels, d.h. sein Ausrichten von der Horizontalen zur Vertikalen und sein Überführen, ist also mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden.Devices for forming and filling bags made of flexible material are already known, in which, for example, paper foils are used to form bags by winding them around winding mandrels of a rotating ring or turret (FR-A-1 281 258). There, a section of a film is fed horizontally to the winding mandrels of a rotating ring which is arranged on a horizontal plane. The sensitivity of the material and the instability of the horizontal arrangement of the section or sheet to be wrapped limit the reliability and productivity of the currently commercially available device. Furthermore, these devices have the serious disadvantage that the horizontally shaped bag has to be erected so that it assumes the vertical position which is essential for the filling operation. The known devices must be stopped for the operation of unthreading the bags from the winding mandrels and for transferring them to carrier boxes. These indispensable cyclical stays limit the productivity of the known devices, while also creating serious kinematic disadvantages. The handling of the flexible and sensitive body of an empty bag, i.e. its alignment from horizontal to vertical and its transfer is therefore difficult.

Aus der AT-B-130 469 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von einerseits offenen Schachteln bekannt. Dort wird ein einem Wickeldorn zugeführtes Papierblatt gefaltet, während der Wickeldorn an einer senkrechten Scheibe gedreht wird. Zum einen ist diese Vorrichtung nur für relativ steife Verpackungen geeignet und zum anderen ist die Öffnung der fertigen Verpackung senkrecht angeordnet, so daß sie nur für feste Ware wie Zigaretten geeignet ist.From AT-B-130 469 a method for the production of open boxes on the one hand is known. A paper sheet fed to a winding mandrel is folded there, while the winding mandrel is rotated on a vertical disk. On the one hand, this device is only suitable for relatively rigid packaging and, on the other hand, the opening of the finished packaging is arranged vertically, so that it is only suitable for solid goods such as cigarettes.

Die US-A-1 628 120 beschreibt eine Verpackungsmaschine, an welcher Verpackungen mit ihrer Öffnung nach unten an Wickeldornen ausgebildet werden. Diese Verpackungen müssen zum Füllen um 180° gedreht werden, was die Produktion verlangsamt.US-A-1 628 120 describes a packaging machine on which packages are formed with their opening facing down on winding mandrels. This packaging has to be rotated by 180 ° for filling, which slows down production.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum vollständigen Verpacken von Beuteln ausgehend von einem auf einer Spule aufgewickelten Band zu schaffen, das auf einem vertikalen Wickeldorn, der zweckmäßig in seinem Inneren mit einer Vorrichtung zum Ausstoßen des Beutets während der Bewegung des Wickeldornes ausgerüstet ist, geformt wird, ohne daß dabei der Beutel zum Füllen gedreht werden muß.The invention has for its object to provide a device for the complete packaging of bags starting from a reel wound on a spool, which is equipped on a vertical mandrel, which is suitably equipped in its interior with a device for ejecting the bag during the movement of the mandrel , is formed without the bag having to be rotated for filling.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß die Wickeldorne vertikal nach unten gerichtet angeordnet sind, sodaß die um die Wickeldorne gewickelten Beutel mit der Füllöffnung nach oben frei zur Einführung von der zu verpackenden Substanz durch Schwerkraft angeordnet sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the mandrels are arranged vertically downward, so that the bags wound around the mandrels with the filling opening are freely arranged for the introduction of the substance to be packaged by gravity.

Die Erfindung besteht in einer Bereitstellung eines freien Endabschnittes eines von einer Spule kommenden, schon in vertikaler Anordnung befindlichen, nach unten senkrecht abfallenden Bandes, das aufgrund der Schwerkraft des nach unten gerichteten Eigengewichtes ebenflächig ausgerichtet ist. Vorzugsweise ist am Ende des senkrecht nach unten fallenden Bandes zyklisch eine Vielzahl von vertikalen Wickeldornen angeordnet, welche mit einem solchen Parallelitätsgrad und einer solchen Nähe in Bezug auf den vertikalen nach unten abfallenden Rand des von der Spule kommenden Bandes nach unten ausgerichtet sind, daß das flexible Band an den vertikalen Wickeldornen angelegt werden kann, ohne von der richtigen ebenflächigen Anordnung abzuweichen.The invention consists in providing a free end section of a band coming from a spool, already in a vertical arrangement and falling vertically downwards, which is aligned flat due to the gravity of the downward weight. Preferably, a plurality of vertical mandrels are arranged cyclically at the end of the band falling vertically downwards, which are oriented with such a degree of parallelism and such proximity with respect to the vertical downward falling edge of the band coming from the spool that the flexible Tape can be applied to the vertical mandrels without deviating from the correct flat arrangement.

Das Band aus flexiblem Material wird abgeschnitten, nachdem sein Ende am vertikalen Wickeldorn stabil verankert ist.The band of flexible material is cut off after its end is firmly anchored to the vertical winding mandrel.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform erfolgt das Ausstoßen des Beutels vom Wickeldorn mittels einer Ausstoßvorrichtung, welche in das Innere der Wickeldorne derart eingesetzt ist, daß sie diesen Arbeitsgang mit höchster Zuverlässigkeit auch während der Bewegung der Wickeldorne und ohne diese anzuhalten, bewirkt. Vorzugsweise werden die leeren Beutel in darunter angeordnete koaxiale und in der Bewegung mit den Wickeldornen synchronisierte Kästen überführt.According to a preferred embodiment, the bag is ejected from the winding mandrel by means of an ejection device which is inserted into the interior of the winding mandrels in such a way that it effects this operation with the greatest reliability even during the movement of the winding mandrels and without stopping them. The empty bags are preferably transferred into coaxial boxes arranged underneath and synchronized in movement with the winding mandrels.

Die Wickeldorne sind vorzugsweise mit einer Ausstoßvorrichtung mit beweglichem Boden zum Ausstoßen von innen mit axialer Wirkung gegen den Boden des Beutels zum Ausfädeln desselben von dem sich in Bewegung befindlichen Wickeldorn versehen.The winding mandrels are preferably provided with an ejection device with a movable bottom for ejecting from the inside with an axial action against the bottom of the bag for unthreading the winding mandrel which is in motion.

Die Vorrichtung zum Ausstoßen der Beutel von den Wickeldornen während ihrer Bewegung weist vorzugsweise eine Schubstange auf, welche zur Erzeugung eines koaxialen Ganges eines auf den inneren beweglichen Boden jedes vertikalen Wickeldornes einen mit allgemein bekannter Kinematik wirkenden Stift aufweist.The device for ejecting the bags from the winding mandrels during their movement preferably has a push rod which, in order to produce a coaxial passage of a pin acting on the inner movable base of each vertical winding mandrel, has a pin which acts with generally known kinematics.

Die Vielzahl der vertikalen Wickeldornen ist vorzugsweise auf einem kreisförmigen oder ringförmigen Gang in Kombination mit analogen kreisförmigen oder ringförmigen Gängen der darunterliegenden zuzuordnenden und übereinstimmend synchronisierten Mehrzahl der Kästen angeordnet, in welche die Beutel in der synchronen Überführungszone überführt werden, in der jeder zugeordnete Wickeldorn und Kasten sich untereinander koaxial und synchronisiert zur gleichzeitigen Überführung des vom Wickeldorn ausgestoßenen und in den Kasten während der synchronen Bewegung von beiden vertikal eintretenden Beuteln befinden.The plurality of vertical mandrels are preferably arranged in a circular or annular aisle in combination with analog circular or annular aisles of the underlying associated and synchronized plurality of boxes into which the bags are transferred in the synchronous transfer zone in which each associated mandrel and box coaxial and synchronized with each other simultaneous transfer of the ejected from the mandrel and into the box during the synchronous movement of both vertically entering bags.

Die Erfindung erbringt eine beträchtliche Erhöhung der Zuverlässigkeit und eine daraus folgende größere Betriebsproduktivität. Die erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsvorrichtungen zeichnen sich durch maximale Sicherheit und Betriebspräzision aus.The invention provides a significant increase in reliability and consequent greater operational productivity. The packaging devices according to the invention are characterized by maximum safety and operational precision.

Die erfindungsgemäße Maschine dient dem Formen eines von einer Spule kommenden Bandes sowie dem Füllen, Wägen, Konditionieren und Versiegeln von Beuteln aus flexiblem Material mit einem Inhalt aus körnigen oder pulverförmigen Substanzen, wie Mehl, Zucker oder Kaffee, auch unter Vakuum und auch im kontinuierlichen Betrieb, sowie auch stromaufwärts integriert mit einer Apparatur zum Strangpressen und Verbinden von Materialien zu mit gedruckten oder eingeschnittenen Dekorationen ergänzten und mit inneren und äußeren warmverschweißbaren Schichten versehenen flexiblen Bändern.The machine according to the invention is used to form a band coming from a reel and to fill, weigh, condition and seal bags made of flexible material with a content of granular or powdery substances, such as flour, sugar or coffee, even under vacuum and also in continuous operation , as well as integrated upstream with an apparatus for the extrusion and joining of materials to flexible bands supplemented with printed or incised decorations and provided with inner and outer heat-weldable layers.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden anhand der Zeichnung erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 bis Fig. 5 verschiedene Schritte zur Ausbildung eines Beutels mit einer ersten Ausführungsform einer Verpackungsvorrichtung, und die
  • Fig. 6 bis Fig. 10 weitere Ausführungsformen von Verpackungsvorrichtungen.
  • In Fig. 1 ist schematisch das senkrecht nach unten sich bewegende Ende eines Bandes 1 aus flexiblem Material, welches von einer nicht dargestellten Spule oder Strangpreßvorrichtung kommt, dargestellt. Ziehrollen 2 führen das Band 1 zu und leiten es nach unten, wobei sie es vertikal in Pfeilrichtung transportieren.
  • In Fig. 2 ist dargestellt, daß der freie Endabschnitt 1' des von der Spule kommenden Bandes 1 infolge der Schwerkraft des Eigengewichtes wie ein Bleifaden bereits longitudinal gestreckt vorliegt und eine ebene, vertikale, zu einem Wickeldorn 3 parallele Lage annimmt und stabil aufrechterhält.
  • Fig. 3 zeigt, daß der vertikal hängende Endabschnitt 1' des Bandes 1 während der Bewegung zur Anlage an den Wickeldorn 3, beispielsweise mittels einer Gegenwand 4, seine Parallelität in Bezug auf den Wickeldorn 3 nicht ändert, da er bereits nahe parallel zu diesem verläuft.
  • Fig. 4 zeigt, daß der Bandabschnitt 5, mit Hilfe von nicht dargestellten bekannten Mitteln vom Band 1 erst dann abgeschnitten wird, wenn er am Wickeldorn 3 befestigt ist. Aus Fig. 4 geht hervor, daß der abgeschnittene Bandabschnitt 5 am Wickeldorn 3 vertikal und stabil verankert bleibt und in dieser vertikalen Eingriff/Verankerungs-Anordnung in allen nachfolgenden Phasen des Wickelns um den Wickeldorn stets verbleibt. Ferner ergibt sich, daß die Kante 6 des Abschnitts 5 horizontal ist, um den horizontalen Rand eines vertikalen Beutels mit oben liegender Öffnung zu bilden.
  • Fig. 5 zeigt, daß die Kante 6 des Bandabschnitts 5 während der anschließenden Arbeitsgänge des Wickelns des Abschnitts 5 um die vertikalen Wickeldorne 3 immer horizontal verläuft. In Fig. 5 ist eine kreisförmig angeordnete Vielzahl von vertikalen Wickeldornen 3, welche beispielsweise längs einer kreisförmigen Laufbahn von einem horizontalen Drehkranz hängend nach unten ausgerichtet angeordnet sind, dargestellt.
  • Fig. 6 zeigt, daß im Inneren der Wickeldorne 3 koaxial jeweils eine Ausstoßvorrichtung 7 zum Abstoßen des durch Wickeln um den jeweiligen Wickeldorn 3 bereits geformten Beutels 5 angeordnet ist. Dieser Ausstoßarbeitsgang spielt sich während der Bewegung in einer an einer ortsfesten Trommel 12 angeordneten Nockenbahn 11 ab innerhalb welcher Rollen 10 geführt sind, die am Ende eines Stiftes 9 zum Vorwärtsschieben der Ausstoßvorrichtung 7 gegen den Innenboden des jeweiligen Beutels 5 angeordnet sind. Der Spindelstockdrehkranz ist auf eine mit einer Vielzahl von Kästen 8 ausgerüsteten Kette gesetzt; die Kästen 8 sind in einer Zone zur Entnahme der Beutel 5 den darüber angeordneten Wickeldornen 3 zugeordnet und mit diesen synchronisiert, um den jeweiligen auszustoßenden Beutel 5 aufzunehmen. Es ist hervorzuheben, daß das Überführen des Beutels 5 durch Ausstoßen von innen während der synchronisierten Bewegung und nicht bei angehaltener Maschine erfolgt.
  • Fig. 7 zeigt die Anordnung des Spindelstockdrehkranzes zum Halten der Wickeldorne 3 mit kreisförmiger Bahn über einem synchronisierten und mit der ringförmigen Laufbahn einer Vielzahl von zuzuordnenden Kästen 8 übereinstimmenden Bogen. In die Kästen 8 sind die mit der Öffnung nach oben angeordneten, bereits für die Arbeitsgänge des Füllens und jedes anderen Verpackungsvorgangs bereiten vertikalen Beutel 5 zu überführen.
  • Fig. 8 zeigt eine andere Kombination einer Vielzahl von auf einem Kreis angeordneten synchronisierten Kästen 8, welche ebenfalls darüber angeordneten hängenden Wickeldornen 3, die eine identische ringförmige Laufbahn durchlaufen, zugeordnet sind.
  • Fig. 9 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel von zugeordneten synchronisierten kreisförmigen Laufbahnen, auf welchen die Kästen 8 und Wickeldorne 3 angeordnet sind. In Fig. 9 wird das kreisförmige zugeordnete Paar von Wickeldornen 3 und Kästen 8 von einem äußeren tangentialen kreisförmigen Karussell von Kästen 8' flankiert, in welche durch Überführung mit bekannten kinematischen Vorrichtungen die Beutel 5 leer in vertikaler Anordnung mit obenliegender Öffnung offen und für die Arbeitsgänge des Füllens und Versiegelns bereit überführt werden.
  • In Fig. 10 ist ein zugeordnetes Paar von synchronisierten Wickeldornen 3 und Kästen 8 tangential von einem Füllkarussell mit ringförmiger Bahn flankiert, dessen Kästen 8' durch Überführung die vertikalen leeren Beutel 5 mit obenliegender Öffnung offen aufnehmen und zu weiteren Verpackungsvorgängen weiterleiten.
  • Verschiedene andere mögliche geometrische und kinematisch übereinstimmende und synchronisierte Kombinationen, welche nicht dargestellt sind, sind konstruktiv im Rahmen der Erfindung ableitbar. Unter die Erfindung fallen verschiedene Ausführungsformen sowohl hinsichtlich der Dimensionsverhältnisse als auch hinsichtlich der Strukturverhältnisse und auch die technologische Wahl der Werkstoffe kann je nach der Geschwindigkeit und den physikalischen und organoleptischen Charakteristika der zu verpackenden Substanzen getroffen werden.
Embodiments of the invention are explained with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 different steps for forming a bag with a first embodiment of a packaging device, and the
  • 6 to 10 show further embodiments of packaging devices.
  • In Fig. 1, the vertically downward moving end of a tape 1 made of flexible material, which comes from a spool or extrusion device, not shown, is shown schematically. Pull rollers 2 feed the tape 1 and guide it downward, transporting it vertically in the direction of the arrow.
  • In Fig. 2 it is shown that the free end portion 1 'of the tape 1 coming from the spool is already longitudinally stretched like a lead thread due to the gravity of its own weight and assumes a flat, vertical position parallel to a winding mandrel 3 and maintains it in a stable manner.
  • Fig. 3 shows that the vertically hanging end portion 1 'of the tape 1 during the movement to abut the winding mandrel 3, for example by means of a counter wall 4, does not change its parallelism with respect to the winding mandrel 3, since it already runs close parallel to this .
  • Fig. 4 shows that the tape section 5, with the help of known means, not shown, is cut from the tape 1 only when it is attached to the mandrel 3. 4 that the cut tape section 5 remains anchored vertically and stably on the winding mandrel 3 and always remains in this vertical engagement / anchoring arrangement in all subsequent phases of winding around the winding mandrel. It also results that the edge 6 of the section 5 is horizontal to form the horizontal edge of a vertical bag with an opening at the top.
  • Fig. 5 shows that the edge 6 of the band section 5 always runs horizontally during the subsequent operations of winding the section 5 around the vertical mandrels 3. 5 shows a circularly arranged plurality of vertical winding mandrels 3, which are arranged, for example, along a circular raceway, oriented in a downward direction from a horizontal rotating ring.
  • Fig. 6 shows that in the interior of the winding mandrels 3 coaxially each an ejection device 7 for repelling the bag 5 already formed by winding around the respective winding mandrel 3 is arranged. This ejection process takes place during the movement in a cam track 11 arranged on a stationary drum 12, within which rollers 10 are guided, which are arranged at the end of a pin 9 for pushing the ejection device 7 against the inner bottom of the respective bag 5. The headstock slewing ring is placed on a chain equipped with a large number of boxes 8; the boxes 8 are assigned to the winding mandrels 3 arranged above and synchronized with them in a zone for removing the bags 5 in order to accommodate the respective bags 5 to be ejected. It should be emphasized that the transfer of the bag 5 takes place by ejection from the inside during the synchronized movement and not when the machine is stopped.
  • Fig. 7 shows the arrangement of the headstock slewing ring for holding the winding mandrels 3 with a circular path over a synchronized and with the annular track of a plurality of boxes 8 to be assigned matching sheet. The vertical bags 5, which are arranged with the opening facing upwards and are already ready for the filling and any other packaging process, are to be transferred into the boxes 8.
  • FIG. 8 shows another combination of a plurality of synchronized boxes 8 arranged on a circle, which are also assigned hanging mandrels 3 arranged above them, which pass through an identical ring-shaped track.
  • Fig. 9 shows an embodiment of associated synchronized circular raceways on which the boxes 8 and mandrels 3 are arranged. In Fig. 9, the circular associated pair of mandrels 3 and boxes 8 is flanked by an outer tangential circular carousel of boxes 8 ', into which the bags 5 are empty in a vertical arrangement with an opening above and open for the operations by transfer with known kinematic devices of filling and sealing.
  • 10, an assigned pair of synchronized mandrels 3 and boxes 8 are flanked tangentially by a filling carousel with an annular path, the boxes 8 'of which pick up the vertical empty bags 5 with the opening at the top and transfer them to further packaging processes.
  • Various other possible geometric and kinematically matching and synchronized combinations, which are not shown, can be derived constructively within the scope of the invention. Various embodiments are included in the invention, both with regard to the dimensional relationships and with regard to the structural relationships, and the technological choice of materials can also be made depending on the speed and the physical and organoleptic characteristics of the substances to be packaged.
