Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for removing bags with sealed spouts from a linear transport.
- the bags in question are used as packaging for pourable or flowable, ie fillable goods. They usually consist of a multi-layer plastic composite material. Such bags are increasingly used in particular as stand-up pouches, since they offer considerable advantages due to their flexible outer envelope when transporting the full pouch and disposing of the empty pouch.
- the sealing of spouts in such bags is known from the prior art in a variety of configurations. Basically, to seal the spout, the bag may first have to be trimmed, then opened to allow the spout to be inserted into the opening in the bag, whereupon the spout then located in the bag opening is sealed to the bag with the aid of sealing jaws is sealed.
- the devices known from the prior art for sealing spouts in bags generally operate in a clocked manner when the bags are transported in a circular path in the device. This movement on a circular path is the common method, since the bags are usually held with grippers, which are to be transported back to the pick-up point after picking up and processing the bags.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a device for removing bags with sealed spouts from a linear transport, with the help of which the bags with sealed Pourers can be reliably removed from the linear transport and further processed at high speed.
- the previously derived and demonstrated object is achieved in that a chain drive rotating in synchronism with the linear transport is provided, on which chain drive a plurality of removal grippers are arranged, a gripping drive that moves the removal grippers in a gripping position from a rest position into a gripping position on the spout and is provided a removal device is provided which removes the pourers with bags in a removal position from the removal grippers.
- the device according to the invention ensures that the bags with sealed pourers can be removed from the linear transport essentially without acceleration and can be passed on to a defined removal position for transfer to subsequent transport or processing means.
- removal grippers are spring-loaded in the direction of the rest position ensures that the removal grippers automatically return to their rest position after leaving the removal position in order to be transported again to the gripping position in this rest position.
- a particularly simple attachment of the removal grippers to the chain drive is ensured in that the removal grippers are attached to the chain drive by means of chain bolts.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a device according to the invention for removing bags with sealed pourers in a side view
- Fig. 2 shows the embodiment of a device according to the invention in a view in the longitudinal direction
- FIG. 1 of a device according to the invention for removing bags 1 with sealed pourers 2 from a linear transport 3 has, according to the invention, a chain drive 6 rotating synchronously with both transport belts 4, 5 of the linear transport 3.
- a plurality of removal grippers 7 is arranged on the chain drive 6, the removal grippers 7 being movable in a gripping position 8 from a rest position into a gripping position on the spout 2 with the aid of a gripping drive 9.
- a dispensing device not shown, which removes the spouts 2 with bags 1 in a removal position 10 is provided.
- the gripping position 8 coincides with the position of the last station, not shown, for bag processing on the linear transport 3 - namely, as a rule, the station for cooling the sealed connection.
- these positions are chosen to ensure that the spouts 2 are fixed in the gripping position 8 in the processing station, so that the removal grippers 7 can engage the spouts 2 in a defined manner.
- the upper removal gripper 7 has been moved into the gripping position by the gripping drive 9 (not shown in this figure) and here grips the spout 2. As can be seen from FIG.
- the removal gripper 7 is moved into the gripping position with the help the gripping drive 9 during the synchronous movement of the chain 11 of the chain drive 6 with the transport belts 4, 5 of the linear transport 3 with the aid of a slide rail 12, which in the area of the chain wheel 13 merges into a stop disk 14 shown in broken lines, held in the gripping position.
- the removal gripper 7 arrives in the removal position 10, in which it is assigned to a C-shaped removal rail, not shown, whereby the spout 2 can simply be pushed out of the removal gripper 7 with the aid of a removal device onto the C-shaped removal rail.
- the removal gripper 7 When the removal gripper 7 is transported further into a rest position 15, the removal gripper 7, after it has run off the sprocket 13, returns to its rest position by spring loading and is only transported to the processing position 10 again in the subsequent processing cycle. This working cycle for the removal grippers 7 is repeated cyclically when the linear transport 3 is in operation.
- the removal grippers 7 are shown in the gripping position 8 and the rest position 15. It can also be seen from FIG. 2 that the removal grippers 7 are connected to the chain 11 by means of a fastening tab 16.
- the fastening plate 16 preferably replaces an outer chain plate of the chain 11.
- a removal gripper 7 is shown in gripping position.
- the fork plate 18 fastened to two guide bolts 19 is raised relative to a base body 20 against the spring tension of a spring 21.
- the fork plate 18 is lowered relative to the base body 20 in the rest position.
