Definitions
- the invention relates to a filling device for packaging, in particular paper bags, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- each filling station is assigned its own height-adjustable filling nozzle, which is arranged above the filling station.
- the lower edge of each filler neck can only be partially lowered into the packaging.
- Filling devices for packaging are also known in configurations in which the filling funnel is made in one piece (DE-604 247).
- the weighed filling material is discharged into the packaging through the filling funnel in a filling station. Then compression takes place.
- the filling funnel or the filler neck must not emerge from the packaging until the upper edge of the initially undensified or only partially compressed filling material has reached a sufficient distance from the upper edge of the packaging.
- the time for the filling speed is thus limited, which passes between the sagging of the filling material from the uncompressed state to the sagging of the filling material to a sufficient distance below the top edge of the packaging.
- the only other way to shorten the period mentioned is to produce the packaging with excess length in order to be able to pull the funnel out of the packaging as early as possible.
- the initially undensified product has a much higher level than after compression. This results in unused paper bag or paper bag areas that later have to be cut off with a separate operation. In this way, material is wasted and there is a delay due to an additional machining process, namely the cutting process.
- the invention has for its object a filling device known as to provide the required type in such a way that it has a simpler structure and nevertheless enables the total filling time to be shortened if the packaging height is not extended.
- the filler neck Only in the filling station is the filler neck attached to the upper part of the funnel during the filling process, preferably in a dustproof manner.
- the flat gusseted bags 31 are provided in a magazine 30 and are fed into the opening station 1 in the pre-opened state via a transport device 32.
- a filling station 2 follows the opening station, followed by a precompression station 3.
- a transfer station 4 is then provided, which is followed by a post-compression station 5.
- the filled packaging reaches a molding station 6 and from there into further post-processing stations 7, 8 and 9, which serve further processing operations, in particular closing operations, but are not of interest here.
- the design of the filling funnel which is shown in FIG. 3 in a divided arrangement, is decisive for the shortening of the filling time.
- the hopper has a hopper upper part 11a with a circumferential collar and a hopper lower part 11b with an upper circumferential flange. In the assembled state, flange 21 and collar 20 lie close together.
- the packaging 12 is in a known manner in a cassette 16. Inside the cassette 16 there is a bottom plate 17. The lower sealing edge of the filler neck 11b presses the bottom of the packaging 12 onto the elastic plate 17. Below the elastic plate 17 there is a vibrating device 15.
- the upper part 11a of the funnel is connected via a bellows 18 to a scale 10 in which the filling material 13 is located.
- the upper part of the hopper can be moved up or down in the direction of the double arrow 19.
- the upper part 11a of the funnel is connected by means of a cantilever 22b to a sliding piece 22 which is displaceable on a vertical guide 23.
- the filler neck 11b is inserted in the opening station by means of a transport device 35.
- the transport device allows the filler neck 11b to be picked up from the transfer station and carried out transversely to the opening station 1, which is symbolized on the schematic sliding guide by the double arrow 36.
- the filler neck 11b is lowered into the pre-opened packaging 12.
- the device then moves from the position shown in FIG. 2 back to the position above the transfer station 4 and is thus available for a new take-up of the filler neck after the next filling cycle.
- the filler neck 11b sunk into the packaging 12 in the opening station 1, together with the cassette and the pack 12, reaches the filling station 2.
- the upper funnel part 11a is attached to the filler neck 11b in a dust-tight manner.
- the filling material is thrown out of the weighing container of the scale 10 through the upper funnel part 11a into the filling nozzle 11b.
- the filling level of the filling material 13 is located considerably above the upper edge of the packaging 12.
- a shaking with a shaking device 15 already leads to a slight lowering of the filling level in the filling nozzle 11b.
- the filler neck 11b then arrives in the precompression station 3.
- this precompression station there is a suction dome 41a which has a collar 20 which fits onto the flange 21.
- a dust filter 25 is located in the suction dome.
- a suction air connection is designated by 26.
- the suction dome 41a is connected via a cantilever 42a to a sliding sleeve 42 which is guided on a guide rod 43 so as to be displaceable in height.
- the suction dome 41a is used for pre-compression with simultaneous vibration with the vibrating device 15.
- FIG. 6 shows that the fill level in the precompression station 3 has dropped to a level below the edge of the packaging 12.
- the subsequent transfer station 4 see FIG. 2
- the filler neck 11 is pulled out of the packaging and moved into the opposite opening station 1.
- the transfer station 4 is followed by a post-compression station 5, which is used for post-compression by means of a suction cup 27.
- the suction bell 27 is connected via a boom 29 a to a sliding sleeve 29 which is vertically displaceable on a vertical guide rod 28.
- the suction cup is lowered to the position shown in FIG. 8 for the suction process. After suction with the vacuum suction cup 27, the fill level of the filling material 13 has reached its finally desired height.
- the filled and opened packaging then passes into a forming station 6, in which the side folds of the packaging 12 are produced.
- a forming station 6 in which the side folds of the packaging 12 are produced.
- additional operations are carried out on the packaging, namely folding, gluing, and possibly sealing.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Füllvorrichtung für Verpackungen, insbesondere Papiersäcke, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a filling device for packaging, in particular paper bags, according to the preamble of
Bei einer bekannten Füllvorrichtung dieser Art (GB-A 440,658) ist jeder Füllstation jeweils ein eigener, oberhalb der Füllstation angeordneter, höhenverfahrbarer Füllstutzen zugeordnet. Jeder Füllstutzen ist mit seinem unteren Rand nur teilweise in die Verpackung absenkbar.In a known filling device of this type (GB-A 440,658), each filling station is assigned its own height-adjustable filling nozzle, which is arranged above the filling station. The lower edge of each filler neck can only be partially lowered into the packaging.
Füllvorrichtungen für Verpackungen, insb. Papiersäcke sind auch in Ausgestaltungen bekannt, bei denen der Fülltrichter einteilig ausgebildet ist (DE-604 247).Filling devices for packaging, in particular paper bags, are also known in configurations in which the filling funnel is made in one piece (DE-604 247).
Bei allen bekannten Ausgestaltungen wird das abgewogene Füllgut in einer Füllstation durch den Fülltrichter in die Verpackung abgelassen. Anschließend erfolgt eine Verdichtung. Der Fülltrichter bzw. der Füllstutzen darf nicht eher aus der Verpackung austauchen, bevor nicht der obere Rand des zunächst noch unverdichteten oder erst teilweise verdichteten Füllguts einen ausreichenden Abstand vom oberen Rand der Verpackung erreicht hat.In all known configurations, the weighed filling material is discharged into the packaging through the filling funnel in a filling station. Then compression takes place. The filling funnel or the filler neck must not emerge from the packaging until the upper edge of the initially undensified or only partially compressed filling material has reached a sufficient distance from the upper edge of the packaging.
Bei allen bekannten Füllvorrichtungen ist also die Zeit für die Füllgeschwindigkeit limitierend, die zwischen dem Absacken des Füllguts aus dem unverdichteten Zustand bis zum Absacken des Füllguts auf einen ausreichenden Abstand unter die Oberkante der Verpackung vergeht.In all known filling devices, the time for the filling speed is thus limited, which passes between the sagging of the filling material from the uncompressed state to the sagging of the filling material to a sufficient distance below the top edge of the packaging.
Bei allen bisher bekannten Füllvorrichtungen kann dieser Zeitraum nicht wesentlich verkürzt werden. Die einzige Möglichkeit zur Reduzierung dieses Zeitraums liegt bisher in möglichst intensiven Verdichtungsvorgängen durch Rütteln und gleichzeitiges Vakuumsaugen.With all the filling devices known to date, this period cannot be shortened significantly. So far, the only way to reduce this period has been to intensify the compaction processes by shaking and vacuuming at the same time.
Die einzige andere Möglichkeit, den angesprochenen Zeitraum zu verkürzen, liegt darin, daß man die Verpackungen mit Überlänge herstellt, um möglichst frühzeitig den Fülltrichter wieder aus der Verpackung herausziehen zu können. Dabei hat das zunächst unverdichtete Füllgut einen weitaus höheren Stand als nach der Verdichtung. Es ergeben sich deshalb ungenützte Papiersack- oder Papierbeutelbereiche, die später mit einem separaten Arbeitsgang wieder abgeschnitten werden müssen. Auf diese Weise wird also Material verschwendet und es entsteht eine Verzögerung durch einen zusätzlichen Bearbeitungsvorgang, nämlich den Abschneidevorgang.The only other way to shorten the period mentioned is to produce the packaging with excess length in order to be able to pull the funnel out of the packaging as early as possible. The initially undensified product has a much higher level than after compression. This results in unused paper bag or paper bag areas that later have to be cut off with a separate operation. In this way, material is wasted and there is a delay due to an additional machining process, namely the cutting process.
Ausgehend von dem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Füllvorrichtung der als bekannt vorausgesetzten Art so auszubilden, daß sie einfacher aufgebaut ist und gleichwohl bei nicht verlängerter Verpakkungshöhe eine Verkürzung der Gesamtfüllzeit ermöglicht.Based on the prior art, the invention has for its object a filling device known as to provide the required type in such a way that it has a simpler structure and nevertheless enables the total filling time to be shortened if the packaging height is not extended.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen des Kennzeichnungsteils von Patentanspruch 1.This object is achieved with the features of the characterizing part of
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung mit einem als Füllstutzen ausgebildeten unteren Bereich, der im abgesenkten Zustand mit seinem unteren Rand auf dem Boden der Verpakkung aufsteht und die Verpackung oben überragt, wird es möglich, den Verdichtungsvorgang bei Bedarf auf mehrere Stationen zu verteilen, in denen das Füllgut bis auf einen Stand unterhalb des Verpackungsrandes absacken kann.Due to the design according to the invention with a lower region designed as a filler neck, which stands in the lowered state with its lower edge on the bottom of the packaging and protrudes above the packaging, it is possible to distribute the compression process, if necessary, over a number of stations in which the filling material can sag to a level below the packaging edge.
Der an das Fülltrichteroberteil ankoppelbare Füllstutzen, der gemeinsam mit dem Fülltrichteroberteil den gesamten Fülltrichter bildet, verbleibt von einer der Füllstation zweckmäßigerweise vorgeordneten Öffnungsstation, in der er in die leere Verpackung eingesetzt wird, bis zu einer Übergabestation innerhalb der Verpackung.The filler neck that can be coupled to the top of the hopper, which, together with the upper part of the filling funnel, forms the entire filling funnel, remains from an opening station which is expediently arranged upstream of the filling station, in which it is inserted into the empty packaging, up to a transfer station within the packaging.
Lediglich in der Füllstation wird der Füllstutzen während des Befüllvorgangs an das Fülltrichteroberteil angesetzt, und zwar vorzugsweise staubdicht.Only in the filling station is the filler neck attached to the upper part of the funnel during the filling process, preferably in a dustproof manner.
Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen.Preferred embodiments of the invention result from the further subclaims.

Aus Figur 1 ist die Anordnung der verschiedenen auf einem Kreis angeordneten Stationen ersichtlich.The arrangement of the various stations arranged on a circle can be seen from FIG.
Die flachen Seitenfaltensäcke 31 werden in einem Magazin 30 bereitgestellt und über eine Transportvorrichtung 32 im vorgeöffneten Zustand in die Öffnungsstation 1 eingegeben. An die Öffnungsstation schließt sich eine Füllstation 2 an, der eine Vorverdichtungsstation 3 folgt. Anschließend ist eine Übergabestation 4 vorgesehen, der eine Nachverdichtungsstation 5 folgt.The flat gusseted
Von der Nachverdichtungsstation gelangt die gefüllte Verpackung in eine Formstation 6 und von dort in weitere Nachbearbeitungsstationen 7, 8 und 9, die weiteren Bearbeitungsvorgängen, insb. Schließvorgängen dienen, hier jedoch nicht von Interesse sind.From the post-compression station, the filled packaging reaches a molding station 6 and from there into further
Maßgeblich für die Verkürzung der Füllzeit ist die Ausbildung des Fülltrichters, der in Figur 3 in geteilter Anordnung dargestellt ist. Der Fülltrichter besitzt ein Fülltrichteroberteil 11a mit einem umlaufenden Kragen und einem Fülltrichteruntereil 11b mit einem oberen umlaufenden Flansch. Im zusammengesetzten Zustand liegen Flansch 21 und Kragen 20 dicht aneinander an. Die Verpackung 12 befindet sich in bekannter Weise in einer Kassette 16. Innerhalb der Kassette 16 befindet sich eine Bodenplatte 17. Der untere Dichtrand des Füllstutzens 11b drückt den Boden der Verpackung 12 auf die elastische Platte 17. Unterhalb der elastischen Platte 17 befindet sich eine Rüttelvorrichtung 15.The design of the filling funnel, which is shown in FIG. 3 in a divided arrangement, is decisive for the shortening of the filling time. The hopper has a hopper
Das Fülltrichteroberteil 11a ist über einen Faltenbalg 18 mit einer Waage 10 verbunden, in der sich Füllgut 13 befindet. Das Fülltrichteroberteil kann in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 19 aufwärts bzw. abwärts verfahren werden. Das Fülltrichteroberteil 11a ist mittels eines Auslegers 22b mit einem Schiebestück 22 verbunden, das auf einer vertikalen Führung 23 verschiebbar ist.The
In die vorgeöffnete Verpackung 12, die sich in der Kassette 16 befindet, wird in der Öffnungsstation der Füllstutzen 11b mittels einer Transporteinrichtung 35 eingesetzt.In the
Die Transporteinrichtung erlaubt ein Aufnehmen des Füllstutzens 11b aus der Übergabestation und einen quer zur Öffnungsstation 1 erfolgenden Transport, der an der schematischen Gleitführung durch den Doppelpfeil 36 symbolisiert ist. Bei Erreichen einer mit der geöffneten Verpackung 12 fluchtenden Position (vergl. Fig. 2) wird der Füllstutzen 11b in die vorgeöffnete Verpackung 12 abgesenkt. Anschließend fährt die Vorrichtung aus der in Figur 2 durchgezeichnet dargestellten Position wieder in die Position oberhalb der Übergabestation 4 und steht damit für eine erneute Aufnahme des Füllstutzens nach dem nächsten Füllzyklus zur Verfügung.The transport device allows the filler neck 11b to be picked up from the transfer station and carried out transversely to the
Der in der Öffnungsstation 1 in die Verpackung 12 eingesenkte Füllstutzen 11b gelangt zusammen mit der Kassette und der Verpackung 12 in die Füllstation 2. In der Füllstation 2 wird das Fülltrichteroberteil 11a an den Füllstutzen 11b staubdicht angesetzt. Nach Erreichen der in Figur 4 dargestellten Verbindungsposition wird das Füllgut aus dem Wiegebehälter der Waage 10 durch das Fülltrichteroberteil 11a in den Füllstutzen 11b abgeworfen. Dabei befindet sich der Füllstand des Füllguts 13 erheblich über dem oberen Rand der Verpackung 12. Ein Rütteln mit einer Rüttelvorrichtung 15 führt bereits zu einem geringfügigen Absenken des Füllstands in dem Füllstutzen 11b. Anschließend gelangt der Füllstutzen 11b in die Vorverdichtungsstation 3. In dieser Vorverdichtungsstation befindet sich ein Saugdom 41a, der einen auf den Flansch 21 passenden Kragen 20 aufweist. Im Saugdom befindet sich ein Staubfilter 25. Ein Saugluftanschluß ist mit 26 bezeichnet.The filler neck 11b sunk into the
Der Saugdom 41a ist über einen Ausleger 42a mit einer Schiebhülse 42 verbunden, die höhenverschieblich auf einer Führungsstange 43 geführt ist. In der Vorverdichtungsstation 3 erfolgt mittels des Saugdoms 41a eine Vorverdichtung bei gleichzeitiger Rüttlung mit der Rüttelvorrichtung 15. Figur 6 zeigt, daß der Füllstand in der Vorverdichtungsstation 3 bis auf einen Stand unterhalb des Randes der Verpackung 12 gesunken ist. In der sich anschließenden Übergabestation 4 (vergl. Fig. 2) wird der Füllstutzen 11 aus der Verpackung herausgezogen und in die gegenüberliegende Öffnungsstation 1 verfahren.The
Der Übergabestation 4 ist eine Nachverdichtungsstation 5 nachgeordnet, die zum Nachverdichten mittels einer Saugglocke 27 dient. Die Saugglocke 27 ist über einen Ausleger 29 a mit einer Schiebehülse 29 verbunden, welche auf einer vertikalen Führungsstange 28 vertikal verschieblich ist. Die Saugglocke wird für den Saugvorgang bis auf die aus Figur 8 ersichtliche Position abgesenkt. Nach dem Absaugen mit der Vakuum-Saugglocke 27 hat der Füllstand des Füllguts 13 seine endgültig gewünschte Höhe erreicht.The transfer station 4 is followed by a
Die befüllte und geöffnete Verpackung gelangt dann in eine Formstation 6, in der die Seitenfalten der Verpackung 12 erzeugt werden. In den sich anschließenden Stationen 7, 8 und 9, die außerhalb des Füllkreises liegen, erfolgen ergänzende Operationen an der Verpackung, nämlich Umfalzen, Verkleben, ggfs. Versiegeln. Diese ergänzenden Stationen haben keinen Einfluß auf die Ausgestaltung des Erfindungsgegenstands.The filled and opened packaging then passes into a forming station 6, in which the side folds of the
