Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine for producing packages under vacuum or in a controlled atmosphere according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a machine is known from FR-A-2 506 257.
  • the bags are first filled with the contents in a separate filling station.
  • the filled bags are then transported to the sealing station.
  • This sealing station consists of two separate ring-shaped conveying devices, the annular paths of the two conveying devices running on two separate horizontal levels lying one above the other.
  • the filled bags are placed there on horizontal plates. Bells which are open at the bottom are then moved towards the plates and brought into sealing contact with the plates, so that the contents are enclosed on all sides. Now a vacuum can be applied and the containers can be closed under vacuum.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a machine of the type specified at the outset which is not susceptible to malfunction and which, in particular, can also be used to properly pack powdered contents.
  • the supports are designed as cups which are open at the top and can be closed with the covers.
  • the cups are designed to be pre-shaped, empty bags pre-formed on the cup walls. The bags remain in the cups from the time they are placed in the cups until after the packaging has been closed. With the machine according to the invention, the bags are therefore already inserted directly into the cups at the beginning of the working cycle, inside which they remain constantly during the entire technical process phase. They are only taken out in the form of square packages at the end of their packaging.
  • the problems described above which still exist in the previously known machines, can be eliminated.
  • the bags cannot jam during the transfer, since they are inserted directly into the cups at the beginning of the working cycle, and inside of which they remain stable without having to be transferred in any way.
  • the invention takes advantage of the fact that the invention has found that the elimination of the numerous transfers of the bags leads to a complete disappearance of the typical jams that occur during the various transfer operations of the bags that are required in the previously known machines.
  • the conveying device located below is longer and equipped with a plurality of cups at the same distance with an upwardly directed sealing surface.
  • the overhead conveyor is shorter and equipped with a smaller number of lids at the same distance from one another and at the same distance as the cups, but with a sealing surface directed downwards.
  • both conveying devices pass through at least one section in which the parts lying one above the other are identical and in which, under unchanged conditions or the same kinematic conditions, the perfect adaptation is achieved by superimposing the sealing plane of each individual downward-facing cover and the sealing plane of the Corresponding cups passing underneath and pointing upwards are carried out, with which a hermetic closure is produced.
  • this is kinematic for carrying out the closure of the cups, that is to say moving the respective lids in such a way that the path of the two superimposed conveying devices converges in such a way that a state of unchangeable kinematic equality is established , set up.
  • this is set up kinematically for opening the cups, that is for removing the corresponding lids, in such a way that the two superimposed conveying devices diverge, that is to say the state of the unchangeable kinematic equality is eliminated.
  • this is set up for moving the cups without a lid, that is to say open at the top, upstream of the section of kinematic equality, in order to make it possible for the bags, which are always stable in the same cup, to be arranged in an orderly manner Sequence of technical workflows are carried out to prepare them upstream or to complete them downstream.
  • the machine according to the invention is set up in such a way that one or more, either empty or previously filled, bags are placed directly into a cup at the beginning of the work cycle and remain stable there during the execution of all the packaging phases, they only coming out at the end of the work process be pulled off the cups, in order then to be placed in the form of square packages on discharge belts.
  • the cups are numbered from 1 to 24.
  • the covers are marked with the Roman numerals I to X.
  • the passing bags are marked with the numbers 95 to 146.
  • 25 indicates the lower conveyor, 26 the upper conveyor and 27 the end discharge belt of the bags which have already been completely packed in the form of square packages.
  • 28 denotes the rotary distributor of the vacuum circuit for removal.
  • 29 denotes the vacuum pump.
  • At 30 is a vacuum suction circuit, at 31 a pulse generator for the thermal seal, at 32 a rotary distributor of the pulses for the sealing pliers, not shown, which are arranged inside the lid, at 33 a filling meter for the substances to be entered into the bags passing underneath, at 34 a pressure device for compressing the substances entered into the bag, with 35 a device for shaking the substances entered into the passing bags, with 36 a level sensor for the substances entered into the passing bags, with 37 a device for the formation of lateral bellows Beutein and designated by 38 a cutting device for the end of the approach of the bags after execution of the side bellows.
  • a star for the mandrels for forming the bags there is a star for the mandrels for forming the bags, at 43 a spool from which the film of flexible material for forming the bags is unwound, at 44 a fixed cam which causes the vertical movements of the puller 45 to do so serves to pull the bags from the thorns and insert them into cups passing underneath, with 46 a rod which places the film cut off by the cutting device 47 on the thorns, with 48 a vertical packaging machine for forming and filling bags before they are inserted into the Mug and 49 denotes a supply belt for empty bags originating from a shaping station, not shown.
  • Fig. 1 vacuum meters are arranged at the top of the ten lids I to X, which indicate the internal negative pressure and in which the pointer schematically represents the degree of vacuum which is reached in the cups 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 becomes.
  • This pumping out or the possible replacement of noble gas is achieved by means known per se, not shown, via the lines which connect the ten lids via the rotary distributor 28 to the vacuum circuit 30, which is activated by the pump 29, which is shown schematically with a vacuum meter is on the dial, the pointer indicates the maintenance of an optimal degree of vacuum.
  • the sealing means for the bags inside the cups, which are therefore protected from the outside atmosphere, are not shown, since they are devices of the technology of thermal welding which are known per se.
  • the necessary energy is supplied via the rotary distributor 32, which transmits the energy pulses to the sealing pliers, which it received from the generator 31.
  • the sealing pliers are not shown, but are located inside the ten covers connected to the conveyor 26.
  • the cups are opened, i.e. that is, the removal of the corresponding covers, by the successive divergence of the paths of the conveying devices 25 and 26.
  • the device 37 effects the preparation of the side bellows.
  • the cutting device 38 cuts off the shoulder after the lateral bellows have been formed beforehand.
  • the work that takes place in the upstream area can also be of a different nature depending on the technological requirements of the packaging process.
  • the plate 39 flattens the attachment which has already been placed on the body of the bag and which thus takes the form of a completely square package.
  • the device 40 attaches an adhesive tongue to the package 100 to secure the flattened shoulder to the top of the square package.
  • the puller 41 removes the package 99 from the cup 21 and brings it into a row with the packages 98, 97, 96 and 95 which have already been placed on the discharge belt 27.
  • each shaping mandrel on the star 42 is equipped with a puller 45, the vertical movements of which are carried out against the pressure of a fixed cam 44, which is shaped according to the underlying bell 1 in an appropriate shape down.
  • the pullers 45 pull the bag 119 off the mandrel and insert it into the underlying cup 1 connected to the conveying device 25.
  • the mandrel from which the pouch 119 has been pulled is thus free to receive the film 124 which is pressed down by the rod 46 before it is cut off by the cutting device 47.
  • the flexible material used for the production of the bags is unwound from the roll 43.
  • reference numerals 125, 126, 127, 128 and 129 show the areas which are successively cut into individual foils which are to be wrapped around the mandrels in order to assume the shape of bags.
  • the phases of winding the films 123, 122, 121 and 120 around the mandrels of the star 42 are indicated.
  • the various details of the complete shaping of the bags are not shown because the corresponding technology is already state of the art.
