Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Füllstation für Seitenfaltensäcke mit einem zum Eintauchen in den Seitenfaltensack ausgebildeten Fülltrichter und mit zu beiden Längsseiten der Sacköffnung angeordneten, um horizontale Achsen verschwenkbaren, abgewinkelten Greifern, die sich mit einem nach unten weisenden Bereich an den Rand des Seitenfaltensacks legen und die ergriffenen Sackränder jeweils gegen eine quer zu den Längsseiten verfahrbare Klemmleiste drücken. Bei einer bekannten Vorrichtung dieser Art (DE-OS 28 52 022) sind die den Seitenfalten benachbarten Greifer um eine Achse verschwenkbar, die parallel zu den beiden Längsseiten der Sacköffnung läuft. Dabei sind die den Seitenfalten benachbarten, äusseren, jeweils auf der gleichen Längsseite angeordneten Greifer auseinander-und zusammenfahrbar.The invention relates to a filling station for gusseted bags with a filling funnel designed to be immersed in the gusseted bag and with angled grippers arranged on both longitudinal sides of the bag opening and pivotable about horizontal axes, which rest with a downward-pointing region on the edge of the gusseted bag and take hold of them Press the edges of the bag against a terminal block that can be moved transversely to the long sides. In a known device of this type (DE-OS 28 52 022), the grippers adjacent to the side folds can be pivoted about an axis which runs parallel to the two long sides of the bag opening. In this case, the outer grippers adjacent to the side folds, each arranged on the same longitudinal side, can be moved apart and moved together.

Es hat sich bei der bekannten Vorrichtung als nachteilig erwiesen, dass die Befüllung nicht schnell genug durchgeführt werden kann. Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung erfolgt sowohl das Öffnen der Seitenfaltensäcke als auch das Festhalten mit Hilfe der Greifer im Bereich des Füllstutzens.It has proven to be disadvantageous in the known device that the filling cannot be carried out quickly enough. In the known device, both the opening of the gusseted bags and the holding in place with the aid of the grippers takes place in the area of the filler neck.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der als bekannt vorausgesetzten Art so auszubilden, dass sie eine schnellere Befüllung erlaubt, wobei gleichzeitig die Greifereinrichtung einfacher gestaltet werden soll.The invention is based on the object of designing a device of the type presumed to be known in such a way that it permits faster filling, while at the same time the gripper device is to be made simpler.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen des Kennzeichnungsteils von Anspruch 1.This object is achieved with the features of the labeling part of claim 1.

Durch eine einfache Massnahme, nämlich die Anordnung der Schwenkachsen der Greifer unter einem spitzen Winkel zu den Längsseiten des Seitenfaltensacks, entfernen sich die seitlich aussenliegenden Kanten der nach unten weisenden Bereiche der Greifer beim Einschwenken in den Seitenfaltensack voneinander. Dabei kann die Einstellung so vorgenommen werden, dass im Klemmzustand diese äusseren Kanten exakt in den Falten zwischen Längsseite und Querseite liegen.By means of a simple measure, namely the arrangement of the pivot axes of the grippers at an acute angle to the long sides of the side gusset bag, the laterally outer edges of the downward-facing regions of the grippers are separated from one another when pivoting into the side gusset bag. The setting can be made so that, when clamped, these outer edges lie exactly in the folds between the long side and the short side.

Die Beschleunigung der Befüllung wird dadurch erzielt, dass das bisher erforderliche seitliche Verfahren der äusseren Greifer nicht mehr erforderlich ist. Ausserdem entfällt eine Voröffnungszeit des Seitenfaltensacks in der Füllposition, da dieser vorgeöffnet in die Greiferposition verfahren wird. Das Voröffnen kann beispielsweise mit Hilfe von Saugern vor der Füllstation erfolgen. Dabei genügt eine nur geringe Voröffnung, die ein Eintauchen der nach unten weisenden Bereiche der Greifer während des Schwenkvorgangs ermöglicht.The acceleration of the filling is achieved in that the lateral movement of the outer grippers that was previously required is no longer necessary. In addition, there is no pre-opening time of the gusseted bag in the filling position, since it is moved to the gripper position before opening. The pre-opening can take place, for example, with the aid of suction devices in front of the filling station. In this case, only a small pre-opening is sufficient, which enables the areas of the grippers pointing downward to be immersed during the swiveling process.

Nach dem Eintauchen der Greifer können diese in der Weise auseinandergefahren werden, dass eine rechteckige Füllöffnung entsteht, in die der rechteckige Füllstutzen einfahrbar ist. Mit Hilfe von Dichtleisten kann anschliessend der Seitenfaltensack im Einfüllöffnungsbereich dicht von aussen gegen den Fülltrichter gepresst werden, so dass eine staubfreie Befüllung möglich ist.After immersing the grippers, they can be moved apart in such a way that a rectangular filling opening is created, into which the rectangular filling nozzle can be moved. With the help of sealing strips, the gusseted bag in the filler opening area can then be pressed tightly from the outside against the filling funnel, so that dust-free filling is possible.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Preferred embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Aus der US-A-2 608 332 ist zwar die Vorrichtung bekannt, bei der ebenfalls zu den Sackseiten geneigte Greiferachsen vorgesehen sind, jedoch dienen hierbei die Greifer zum Spreizen des Sackbodenbereichs.Although the device is known from US-A-2 608 332, in which gripper axes are also provided which are inclined to the side of the sack, the grippers serve here to spread the sack bottom region.

Nachstehend wird eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung im einzelnen beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 - eine Draufsicht auf die Füllstation mit dem Greifmechanismus in ausgeschwenkter Lage,
  • Figur 2 - eine Seitenansicht gemäss Pfeil 11 in Figur 1,
  • Figur 3 - eine Draufsicht auf den Greifmechanismus gemäss Figur 1 mit eingeschwenkten Greifern in der endgültigen Füllposition,
  • Figur 4 - eine Seitenansicht gemäss Pfeil IV in Figur 3.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 - a top view of the filling station with the gripping mechanism in the swiveled-out position,
  • Figure 2 - a side view according to arrow 11 in Figure 1,
  • 3 shows a plan view of the gripping mechanism according to FIG. 1 with the grippers pivoted in in the final filling position,
  • Figure 4 - a side view according to arrow IV in Figure 3.

An beiden Längsseiten 12a eines vorgeöffnet zur Füllstation kommenden Seitenfaltensacks 12 befinden sich gleich ausgebildete Klemm- und Greifeinrichtungen. An einem Rahmen, der aus zwei Längsholmen 5 und 6 und zwei Querstreben 8 besteht, ist jeweils ein senkrecht zu den Längsseiten verlaufender Stellzylinder 17 bzw. 18 angeordnet. Die Kolbenstange des Stellzylinders 17 bzw. 18 ist mit einer Traverse 10 verbunden, an deren beiden Enden gelenkig gelagerte Stangen 19 bzw. 20 sitzen. Die Stangen 19 bzw. 20 greifen an Kurbelzapfen 16b bzw. 15b an. Bei der gemäss Figur 1 unteren Einrichtung greifen die Stangen 19 bzw. 20 an den Kurbelzapfen 13b bzw. 14b von Greifern 13 bzw. 14 an. Alle vier Greifer besitzen die Form eines abgewinkelten Blechs. Alle Greifer sind auf Lagerböcken 11 schwenkbar um horizontale Achsen 1 bzw. 2 bzw. 3 bzw. 4 gelagert, die jeweils unter einem Winkel a zu den Längsseiten des Seitenfaltensacks verlaufen. Zur Einstellung des gewünschten Sackformats sind die Lagerböcke 11 auf den Längsholmen 6 verschiebbar gelagert und in den Langlöchern 6a arretierbar.Identically designed clamping and gripping devices are located on both longitudinal sides 12a of a side gusseted bag 12 which comes to the filling station in a pre-opened position. On a frame, which consists of two longitudinal spars 5 and 6 and two transverse struts 8, an adjusting cylinder 17 and 18, respectively, is arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal sides. The piston rod of the actuating cylinder 17 or 18 is connected to a crossmember 10, at the two ends of which rods 19 and 20 are mounted in an articulated manner. The rods 19 and 20 engage crank pins 16b and 15b, respectively. In the lower device according to FIG. 1, the rods 19 and 20 engage the crank pins 13b and 14b of grippers 13 and 14, respectively. All four grippers have the shape of an angled sheet. All grippers are pivotally mounted on pedestals 11 about horizontal axes 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, which each run at an angle a to the long sides of the gusseted bag. To set the desired bag format, the bearing blocks 11 are slidably mounted on the longitudinal spars 6 and can be locked in the elongated holes 6a.

Parallel zu den Längsseiten 12a verlaufen Klemmleisten 7. Bei einer Betätigung des Stellzylinders 17 werden die Greifer 13 und 14 um die Achsen 1 und 2 verschwenkt, wobei deren nach unten weisende Bereiche 13a und 14a in das Innere des Seitenfaltensacks eintauchen und den Sackrand an die Klemmleiste 7 klemmen. Dabei gelangen die jeweils aussenliegenden Kanten der nach unten weisenden Bereiche 13a, 14a, 15a und 16a jeweils genau in die Eckfalten zwischen den Längsseiten 12a und den sich anschliessenden Schmalseiten.Clamping strips 7 run parallel to the longitudinal sides 12a. When actuating the actuating cylinder 17, the grippers 13 and 14 are pivoted about the axes 1 and 2, their downward-pointing regions 13a and 14a immersing themselves in the inside of the gusseted bag and the edge of the bag against the clamping strip 7 clamp. The respective outer edges of the downward-facing regions 13a, 14a, 15a and 16a each reach the corner folds between the longitudinal sides 12a and the adjoining narrow sides.

Anschliessend werden die den gesamten Klemmechanismus und Spreizmechanismus tragenden Rahmen auf der Führungsstange 9 auseinandergefahren. Die Querbeweglichkeit der zu beiden Seiten des Seitenfaltensacks 12 angeordneten Vorrichtungen wird durch die Doppelpfeile 21 symbolisiert. Die Rahmen werden so weit auseinandergefahren, bis der Öffnungsquerschnitt des Seitenfaltensacks Rechteckform aufweist, wie dies in Figur 3 gezeigt ist. Anschliessend kann der nicht dargestellte Fülltrichter von oben eingefahren werden. Wenn eine staubdichte Befüllung erfolgen soll, können auch nicht dargestellte, aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Dichtleisten vorgesehen sein, die den oberen Rand des Seitenfaltensacks von aussen klemmend ergreifen und mit seiner Innenwand gegen die Aussenwand des rechteckigen Fülltrichters drücken. Die Querverschiebung der beiden seitlich angeordneten Klemm- und Spreizmechanismen in Richtung der Doppelpfeile 21 kann mit Hilfe von Stellzylindern erfolgen, so dass eine vollautomatische Befüllung in kürzester Taktzeit möglich ist.The frames carrying the entire clamping mechanism and spreading mechanism are then moved apart on the guide rod 9. The transverse mobility of the devices arranged on both sides of the gusseted bag 12 is symbolized by the double arrows 21. The frames are moved apart until the opening cross section of the gusseted bag has a rectangular shape, such as this is shown in Figure 3. The hopper (not shown) can then be retracted from above. If dust-tight filling is to take place, sealing strips (not shown) known from the prior art can also be provided which grip the upper edge of the gusseted bag from the outside and press with its inner wall against the outer wall of the rectangular filling funnel. The transverse displacement of the two laterally arranged clamping and spreading mechanisms in the direction of the double arrows 21 can be carried out with the aid of actuating cylinders, so that fully automatic filling is possible in the shortest possible cycle time.

Der spitze Winkel a beträgt im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ca. 45°.The acute angle a is approximately 45 ° in the illustrated embodiment.
