Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a bag transfer device for automatic packaging machines, which, in general, is applicable to automatic packaging machines of liquid, solid, granulated, ground or pulverulent products.
  • bag-shaped packaging conforming means the bags having reduced thickness and essentially quadrangular format, obtained from a sheet of thermal welding material, bag filling means or product dosimeter and bag closing means containing the product dose.
  • bag conforming means, bag filling means and bag closing means are arranged on a frame in longitudinal alignment and operate in a synchronized way through a process controller.
  • Patent document EP-A-0376174 describes a packaging machine of the previously mentioned type.
  • the bags are conveyed during their journey through the successive stages with conveying means, for example, with a plurality of pincers which describe an a to-and-fro movement.
  • the inventor of the present invention is also the author of another invention concerning automatic packaging machines, in which the conformer train and the packaging train, the latter comprising opening means, filling means, closing means and conveying means, are arranged perpendicularly to each other.
  • the conformer train and the packaging train comprising opening means, filling means, closing means and conveying means, are arranged perpendicularly to each other.
  • the increase in packaging capacity of these packaging machines is achieved by transferring the bags from a supply line, defined by the conformer train, to two, or more, packaging lines, provided with bag filling and bag closing devices respectively, thereby succeeding in multiplying the production capacity in relation to the embodiments of completely longitudinal structured packaging machines.
  • the inventor discloses a bag transfer device with improved features to achieve an efficient synchronized coplanar bag transfer from a bag supply line, defined by a conformer train, to two or more packing lines arranged perpendicularly in relation to the supply line.
  • the bag transfer device is applicable to packaging machines provided with a bag conformer train of relatively reduced thickness and essentially quadrangular format which, once shaped, are arranged vertically and separately in longitudinal alignment, thereby defining a supply line, and also provided with a bag packaging train, both trains being arranged perpendicularly to each other.
  • the bag packaging train comprises bag opening means, bag filling means, bag closing means, bag collecting means and bag conveying means which, by maintaining the verticality of the bags, define two or more packaging lines, which are arranged parallel to each other and are perpendicular and coplanar with respect to the supply line.
  • the transfer device intended to transfer the bags links the supply line with the packaging lines.
  • the bag transfer device is characterized in that it comprises two or more transfer mechanisms, each of which are alike and independent and operate simultaneously and symmetrically with respect to an intermediate theoretical longitudinal axis between the respective packaging lines, each of the transfer mechanisms comprising:
  • the transfer mechanisms and the transfer axis turning mechanisms for each of the packaging lines work simultaneously, i.e., they reach both the holding position and the transfer position at the same time.
  • Another feature of the bag transfer device of the invention consists of the fact that the holding of the bag by holding means is done by suction.
  • the holding means of each transfer axis comprises two transversal carriers, one located at the upper part of said transfer axis and the other at the lower part of the same transfer axis respectively, each of the transversal carriers being provided with suction nozzles.
  • Another feature of the bag transfer device, object of the invention consists of the transversal carrier located at the upper part of the transfer shaft being provided with two suction nozzles.
  • the transversal carrier located at the lower part of the transfer axis is provided with a suction nozzle.
  • the transfer device 1 of bags 3 is arranged between a supply line 2 of bags 3 obtained from a conformer train, which is not represented, and a packaging train formed by two packaging lines 4 parallel to each other of bags 3, thereby obtaining the opening of the bags by bag opening means 3, the filling of the bags 3 with the product to package by the filling means.
  • the filling means have dosimeters 13 arranged perpendicularly to the conformer train and following the transfer device 1 of bags 3.
  • the closing means of the bags 3 been shown once the product dose to package has been inserted into same, said closing means being arranged longitudinally, following said filling means.
  • the supply line 2 of bags 3 is perpendicular and coplanar with respect to the packaging lines 4.
  • the bags 3 are obtained from a sheet of thermal thermoweldable material, have a relatively reduced thickness and an essentially quadrangular format and, on reaching the position occupied by the transfer device 1 of bags 3, are separated from each other and arranged vertically.
  • the transfer device 1 of bags 3 comprises two equal transfer mechanisms 5 which work simultaneously and symmetrically with respect to an intermediate theoretical longitudinal axis 6 between both packaging lines 4.
  • Each of the transfer mechanisms 5 comprises a transfer axis 7 arranged vertically between the theoretical longitudinal axis 6 and the corresponding packaging line 4.
  • the transfer axis 7 is joined at its lower end part 8 by means of an adaptor 9 to some linear transfer mechanisms and some turning mechanisms that move it, developing in a way that shall be described later.
  • Said transfer and turning mechanisms with the object of achieving greater clarity of disclosure, have not been shown in the figures of the drawing sheets; it is understood that said mechanisms can be composed of any suitable type of device, such as, for example, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical devices, etc.
  • Each transfer axis 7 incorporates an upper transversal carrier 10 and a lower transversal carrier 11, the first being provided with two suction nozzles 12 and the second with an suction nozzle 12, with the capacity to hold by suction, a bag 3, during the transfer of same from the supply line 2 to the packaging line 4.
  • the transfer device 1 of bags 3 works in the way to be described next.
  • Figure 2 shows device 1 in transfer position.
  • the conformer train arranges two bags 3, in vertical position and longitudinal alignment, on the supply line 2, and the three suction nozzles 12 of each transfer axis 7, hold a corresponding bag 3, by suction.
  • the transfer and turning mechanisms move the transfer mechanisms 5 in the opposite direction to those of the previous ones, shown as B and B' , the transfer device 1 of bags 3 being in the initial position described earlier and ready to carry out a new bags 3 transfer operation.
