- the present invention relates to an automatic machine for filling and sealing bag-shaped containers made of flexible material, formed by a circular carousel comprising at least two horizontal coaxial discs, the lower disc of which, for conveying the containers, rotates with a continuous circular movement, and the upper disc of which, for supplying the product and sealing the container, is actuated with an alternate circular movement.
- This plant while envisaging that the filling and sealing machine should function with the continuous forward movement of the containers from a first filling carousel to a second sealing carousel, has a few drawbacks due to the fact that the means for gripping and holding the containers themselves are integral with the individual filling and sealing carousels, thereby making it necessary to pick up and release the container itself several times during the course of its travel path inside the machine.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an automatic machine for filling and sealing bag-shaped containers made of flexible material, formed by a circular carousel comprising at least two horizontal coaxial discs, the lower disc of which, for conveying the containers, rotates with a continuous circular movement, and the upper disc of which, for supplying the product and sealing the container, is actuated with an alternate circular movement.
- It is known how the technology for the packaging of products, liquids or solids is oriented, among other things, towards the production and packaging of flexible bag-shaped containers provided with a bottom part designed to expand following filling so as to form stable support base for the full package.
- In this technology it is also known of automatic plants designed to produce said bags from a roll of plastic film material and to fill and hermetically seal said bags thus produced. These plants are substantially formed by a first apparatus for forming the bag and by a second apparatus, arranged in series with the first one, in which the bag is filled and sealed; an example of this type of plant is for example described in Patent Application No. IT-001409 in the name of same Applicant.
- This plant, while envisaging that the filling and sealing machine should function with the continuous forward movement of the containers from a first filling carousel to a second sealing carousel, has a few drawbacks due to the fact that the means for gripping and holding the containers themselves are integral with the individual filling and sealing carousels, thereby making it necessary to pick up and release the container itself several times during the course of its travel path inside the machine.
- Furthermore, the said packaging machine has a substantially horizontal extension and is better suited for dimensions intended for high hourly outputs.
- The technical problem which is therefore posed is that of providing a machine for the filling and automatic sealing of bag-shaped containers made of flexible material, which is suitable for achieving a high production output with minimum dimensions, which does not generate production waste resulting from the spillage of liquid from the containers themselves, which is easy and economical to install and can be supplied with individual bags picked up by suitable loaders associated with the machine itself.
- These results are obtained by the present invention, which envisages an automatic machine of the carousel type for the filling and sealing of bag-shaped containers made of flexible material comprising at least a first horizontal disc to which devices for gripping and holding the containers are rigidly connected, which disc is made to perform a continuous rotating movement about the vertical axis of the machine by the associated actuating means, for conveying of the containers themselves, and at least another horizontal disc coaxial with the first one, carrying devices for metering the product to be introduced into the container and devices for sealing the latter, which disc is made to perform an alternate rotating movement by associated first actuating means which cause the rotation thereof together and rigidly with the disc through a predetermined angle and by further actuating means which cause the counter-rotation thereof back into the initial position, with respect to and independently of the disc itself, there being provided moreover means for regulating the height, from the conveying disc, of the gripping devices and the disc carrying the metering and sealing devices, as well as means for opening the mouth of the container, means for synchronised loading of the containers and means for unloading the latter at the end of the cycle.
- Further details can be obtained from the following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a plan view of the machine according to the invention;
- Figure 2 shows a diagrammatic section along the plane II-II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows an enlarged view of a detail of the container loading arms;
- Figure 4a shows a plan view of the device for effecting opening of the containers;
- Figures 4b and 4c show a diagrammatic section of the opening sequence of the containers.
- As shown in the Figures, the
machine 100 according to the invention is substantially composed of afixed base 101 which has mounted on it acarousel 102 which comprises two circular coaxial surfaces, i.e. a lower one 200 and upper one 300 respectively. - The
lower surface 200, which forms the surface for supporting and conveying the containers 1 removed from afeeder 2 by means of asynchronising loader 400, is made to perform a continuous rotating movement while theupper surface 300, to which the devices for metering the product to be supplied to the container 1 and the devices for sealing the latter are rigidly connected, is made to rotate in accordance with an alternate movement. - In its general configuration, the machine according to the invention is moreover provided with a
conveyor belt 500 for conveying away the sealed containers, which are removed from thecarousel 102 and deposited onto thebelt 500 by means of asynchronising arm 600. - More particularly and with reference to Figure 2, the
base 101 has rigidly connected to it amotor 101a which, via thedrives 102a, actuates asplined shaft 103, arranged parallel to the vertical axis of thecarousel 102, by means of which thesurface 200 supporting the containers 1 is made to rotate with a continuous movement. - As illustrated in Figure 2, the
disc 200, in the region of its external edge, carriesdevices 201 for gripping and holding the container 1, which devices form the subject of a contemporary patent application in the name of the same Applicant and will be described only briefly. -
Said devices 201 are arranged at regular angular intervals along the entire circumference of thedisc 200 and are rigidly connected to the latter by means of a threadedshank 201a and a ring-nut 201b; in this way theholding devices 201 rotate rigidly with thedisc 200, travelling simultaneously viarollers 201c on afurther disc 202 which is locked in rotation and theupper surface 202a of which has a cam profile designed to cause actuation of the gripping and holdingdevices 201 by means of the symmetrical movement towards/away and closing/opening of thejaws 201d onto/from the sides of the container 1 (see Figure 4a). - The
disc 202 is moreover rigid in the axial direction with thedisc 300 and together with the latter adjustable heightwise with respect to thesurface 200 by means of ascrew 301 actuated by amotor 301a and acting on afemale screw 301b connected to ahollow shaft 302, the upper end of which is fixed to thedisc 300. - By means of adjustment of the distance of the
disc 300 and thedisc 202 from thedisc 200, it is possible, whenever there is a variation in the dimensions of the container 1, to adjust both the position of themetering devices 303 and thedevices 310 for opening anddevices 320 for sealing the mouth of the container 1, which are integral with thedisc 300 and described in detail below, as well as the relative position of thedevices 201 for gripping and holding the container which are instead integral with the conveyingdisc 200. - The
hollow shaft 302 is moreover connected to afirst transmission 104 actuated viasuitable means 105 by thesplined shaft 103 and with a second transmission 106 actuated by a cylinder 107 designed to cause a counter-rotation through a predetermined angle of thesurface 300 with respect to thesurface 200. - The
hollow shaft 302 is moreover keyed onto abush 307 provided with a radial arm 307s at the end of which there is arranged a cylinder 307b, the rod of which actuates astud 307c movable axially for coupling with acorresponding seat 104c formed in thetransmission 104. - The functions of these handling and mutual coupling devices will become clear from the remainder of the description with reference to operation of the entire machine.
- As illustrated in Figures 4a, 4b and 4c, the
devices 310 for opening the upper mouth of the container 1 are integral with thedisc 300 and substantially consist of abracket 311 movable along a circumferential arc concentric with the carousel and defined by aguide 311a along which the support travels viarollers 311b and as a result of the thrusting and recall action of therod 312a of acylinder 312. - On the top part of the
bracket 311 there is fixed acylinder 313, extending in the radial direction, which actuates across-member 314a carrying asuction cup 315 and connected viadouble articulations 314b to asecond cross-member 314c carrying asecond suction cup 315 located opposite to the first cup. Said suction cups can therefore be actuated symmetrically in the radial direction both towards and away from the surfaces of the front sides of the container 1 so as to cause opening thereof prior to filling. - Figures 1 and 2 also show the
devices 320 for sealing the container, substantially consisting of heat-welding grippers 321 actuated so as to open/close via amotor 322 arranged on theplate 300 and drives only schematically indicated by 323 and designed to cause the said grippers to open and close symmetrically with respect to the container. - As illustrated in Figures 1 and 3, the containers 1 are removed from a
feeder 2 via asynchronising loading arm 400 consisting of ahorizontal arm 401 which rotates through a predetermined angle about an axis parallel to the axis of the carousel and the end of which opposite to the end hinged with thebase 101 has mounted on it anarm 402 perpendicular to thearm 401 and rotating about its own axis of vertical symmetry. Thesuction cups 403, arranged in the transverse direction with respect to the vertical arm, are rigidly connected to said vertical arm. - Operation of the machine is as follows:
The containers 1 are removed from the feeder 2 (Figures 1 and 3) by means of thesuction cups 403 arranged on thearm 402 of thesynchronising loader 401 and from here brought into a predetermined angular position with respect to which the container is arranged in a tangential position at a relative speed of zero compared to thedisc 200 carrying thegripping devices 201 which, in said angular position, close around the lateral edges of the container (Figure 4a), removing it and starting to convey it along the circular path inside the carousel. - During the first part of the rotating movement, the container passes underneath the device 310 (Figure 4a) for opening the mouth of the container 1, the device actuated by the
cylinder 312 follows the container along a section of the circumference, causing opening thereof by means of actuation of thesuction cups 315 towards and then away from each other in the radial direction (Figures 4b, 4c). - At this point the container is ready to be filled and is brought by the
disc 200 underneath thefilling station 303 rigid with thedisc 300 which during this stage is rigidly connected to thesplined shaft 103 by means of thetransmission 104 so that the conveyingdisc 200 and theupper disc 300 carrying themetering devices 303 and thesealing grippers 321 travel integrally along a predetermined circumferential arc corresponding to the production capacity of the machine. - This circumferential arc is determined by the time required to carry out filling and sealing of the container. As can be seen from the Figures and as is obvious for a person skilled in the art, in the example shown this circumferential arc is divided up, filling and sealing also being divided up so as to allow simultaneous filling and sealing of a plurality of containers in order to increase the productivity of the machine.
- Once the container 1 has been sealed, the
transmission 104 is disengaged from theshaft 103 and at the same time thestud 307c is retracted from the seat 104a which caused coupling of thedisc 300 to thedisc 200 and instead the transmission 106 activated which, actuated by the cylinder 107, brings thedisc 300 back into the initial position with a counter-rotational movement, while thedisc 200 for conveying the containers 1 proceeds along its continuous path transporting the containers 1 as far as thearm 600 for unloading them onto thebelt 500. - Many variants may be introduced as regards the construction of the parts forming the invention, without thereby departing from the protective scope of the present patent as defined by the claims whuch follow.
