Definitions

  • DE-OS 2 225 368 describes a device for producing and filling bags.
  • the filling device has two parallel, gradually rotating chains, from which a number of pliers protrude.
  • a manufactured bag is pushed horizontally between the two jaws of an open pair of pliers.
  • the tongs then close and transport the bag to a station, where it is opened with suction pads.
  • the bag is filled and finally sealed and unloaded.
  • This device has a complicated structure and is accordingly expensive to manufacture and to maintain.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device for filling flexible bags, which is easy to manufacture and maintain. This object is achieved by the combination of features according to claim 1.
  • the device 1 shown in the drawings is used to fill flexible, flat packaging bags 2 made of plastic film with edibles, for example with pourable ones Sweets.
  • a plurality of bags 2 are delivered by an upstream manufacturing machine, not shown, horizontally next to one another at the same time in cycles.
  • the device has two rear and front sprockets 3, 4 mounted on common shafts 6, on which two parallel chains 5 continuously rotate.
  • the two chains 5 consist of chain links 7 and common axes 8, about which the links 7 are pivotable.
  • the axes 8 extend transversely between the chains 5 perpendicular to the direction of transport A.
  • Holders 9 with two plates 10 each projecting outwards are mounted on two adjacent axes 8. Of the large number of holders 9, only five are shown in FIG. 1 for the better overview.
  • One of the shafts 6 is driven by a motor 11.
  • a loading station 13 is arranged in the chain wheels 3, in which the bags 2 are inserted into the opened holders 9.
  • a filling station 14 Above the upper, horizontal run 12 of the chains 5 there are a filling station 14, a smoothing station 15 and a sealing station 16.
  • An unloading station 17 is finally located at the chain wheels 4, where the filled and sealed bags are unloaded, for example on a conveyor belt 18.
  • the filling station 14 consists of several filling funnels arranged side by side 21, which are moved when filling the bag with the chains 5.
  • a chain 23, synchronously rotating around two sprockets 22 with the chains 5, to which the funnels 21 are attached, and a parallelogram guide 24 are shown only as an example, and dosing units (not shown) are arranged in front of the funnels 21 if the bags are filled with bulk material should be.
  • the sealing jaws 26 of the sealing station 16 run in the same way with the chains 5 during the sealing process.
  • the smoothing station 15 is essentially formed by a pivotable reticle 25.
  • 8 carriers 30 are screwed onto the axes.
  • the plates 10 are fastened to these supports 30 in an easily replaceable manner, so that the changeover of the device 1 to other bag formats can be carried out simply and quickly.
  • 10 bolts 31 are riveted to the plates.
  • Spring-loaded sleeves 32 with a conical flange 33 are placed on these bolts 31.
  • the sleeve 32 engages in a slot 34, the flange 33 in a conical countersink 35 of the carrier 30.
  • the transmission for opening and closing the holder 9 is shown schematically.
  • the two axes 8 belonging to one another are opposed by toothed segments 36 coupled with each other.
  • the two axes 8 belonging together are connected to one another by a plurality of tabs 45.
  • a continuous first jaw 44 is attached adjacent to the front axis 8 with screws 46.
  • a plurality of second clamping jaws 47 are pivotably mounted on the rear axle 8.
  • An arm 48 is connected to these jaws 47.
  • the shaft 6 of the chain wheels 3 is rotatably supported in a stationary tube 50.
  • a plurality of arms 51 are welded to the tube 50 and carry rollers 52 at the free end.
  • the arms 48 run on the rollers 52 and lift the jaws 47 from the jaw 44, so that the sealed front edge of the bags 2 can be inserted between the jaws 44, 47.
  • the jaws 44, 47 close by the force of one spring 49 each and clamp the bags 2 on the edge opposite the filling opening.
  • the guide curve 39 is designed such that the two plates 10 of the holders 9 between the loading station 13 and the filling station 14 are closed slightly.
  • the holders 9 are slowly closed by the guide curve 39 so that light components are not blown out of the filled bags.
  • the mouldboard 25 (FIG. 7) is used, which pivots back and forth about an axis 57 by means of a pneumatic cylinder 58 and pivots the edge 56 of the bag around the edges of the plates 10 during this pivoting movement.
  • the jaws 44, 47 are opened in the same way as in the loading station 13.
  • the guide plates 39 spread the two plates 10 of each holder 9 apart.
  • the device described has a simple and compact structure and is therefore inexpensive to manufacture and easy to maintain.
  • the bags 2 are guided past the filling station 14 perpendicular to their broad side. This allows them to do a lot follow closely. This results in a short construction.
  • a high packaging performance is achieved with a relatively low, uniform rotational speed of the chains 5.
  • the loading station 13 can also be arranged further up on the chain wheels 3 or vertically from above on the horizontal run 12.
  • the jaws 44, 47 and their actuation can also be omitted and e.g. can be replaced by a U-shaped rail as a stop.
  • the filling station 14, the smoothing station 15 and the sealing station 16 are all arranged above the horizontal run 12, they are expediently mounted on a common, height-adjustable support. The device can then be adjusted very quickly to other bag formats by setting this carrier to the appropriate height and exchanging the plates 10.
  • the two plates 10 of each holder 9 are bent at an obtuse angle adjacent to their free ends. By this measure, when the holder 9 is closed against the sealing station 16, the free bag edge 26 is optimal for the Seal prepared. Because the two plates 10 of each holder 9 support the entire large areas of the bag 2, it can be optimally filled. As a result, the consumption of packaging material for a given bag content can be minimized.
