Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an empty-bag group accommodation tray that can be conveniently used in cases where empty bags manufactured by a bag maker, especially chuck-equipped bags or self-standing bags, are transported to a package maker, and supplied to the conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus of a bag-filling packaging machine, and to a tray transporting container which is suitable for accommodating a plurality of the empty-bag group accommodation tray during transportation, and further to an empty-bag group conveying method, to an empty-bag group supply method and to an empty-bag group supply system that uses the empty-bag group accommodation tray.
  • conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatuses are apparatuses which are devised so that empty-bag groups are placed in a stacked and overlapped state on conveying means such as a conveyor or the like, the bags located in higher position in the stack in this case are shifted a small amount in the direction of length of the bag so that these bags are positioned on the forward side, and the bags located in the foremost positions are successively extracted and supplied to a bag-filling packaging machine while being fed forward by the conveying means.
  • Such apparatuses are in themselves universally known apparatuses.
  • empty bags manufactured by a bag maker have generally been wrapped in bundles in which a specified number of bags (e.g.,100 bags) are stacked and overlapped; and then, numerous bundles of this type are packaged in cardboard and transported to a package maker in this state. Then, at the package maker, these packages of bags are opened by hand, the bundles of empty bags are extracted one bundle at a time and carried to a conveyor magazine type bag supply apparatus, the wrappers are opened and the bags are placed on the conveyor, after which the stacking and overlapping configuration is adjusted by shifting the bags located in higher positions a small amount in the direction of length of the bag so that the bags at a higher positions located on the forward side.

  • these packages of bags are opened by hand, the bundles of empty bags are extracted one bundle at a time and carried to a conveyor magazine type bag supply apparatus, the wrappers are opened and the bags are placed on the conveyor, after which the stacking and overlapping configuration is adjusted by shifting the bags located in higher positions a
  • the present invention is to eliminate the problems encountered in the prior art.
  • the object of the present invention is to simplify the process of transporting empty bags manufactured by bag makers to package makers and supplying the empty bags to a conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus.
  • the present invention is to eliminate problems with package makers.
  • the present invention is made on the basis of a concept that if, at a package maker, empty-bag groups are placed on the conveyor of a conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus in a manner that these empty-bag groups are shifted a small amount in the direction of length of a bag, then it would be advisable to employ a configuration in which the empty-bag groups are set in this state at the time that the bags are shipped out from a bag maker, these empty-bag groups are conveyed to the package maker while this state is maintained, and these empty-bag groups are placed, at the package maker, on the conveyor of a conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus while still in this state.
  • the above object is first accomplished by a unique structure of the present invention for an empty-bag group accommodation tray which has a box form shape and is open at a top thereof, the bottom wall has a rectangular shape and the side walls are formed around the bottom wall, so that a plurality of empty bags are accommodated inside; and in the present invention, the bottom wall of the tray has a width which is substantially the same as the width of the empty bags and has a length which is sufficiently longer than the length of the empty bags so that a plurality of empty bags are placed therein in a manner that the bags are stacked and overlapped while being shifted a small amount in the direction of length of the bag, and a hole through which an extraction member that contacts the group of bags from below and lifts such group of bags is passed is formed in the bottom wall along the direction of length of the bottom wall.
  • the length of the bottom wall is appropriately determined by the scale of the empty-bag groups (number of the empty bags) that are to be accommodated.
  • flange portions that protrude in the horizontal direction can be formed on the upper ends of the side walls, the side walls can be formed so that they are inclined and spread outward in the upward direction, and step portions that regulate the mutual engagement depth in the case of vertical stacking by contacting the empty-bag group accommodation tray located above or below can be formed in the outer surface sides or inner surface sides of the side walls.
  • the hole formed in the bottom wall can be designed so that it reaches the end portions of the bottom wall in the direction of length of the bottom wall and further extends into the side walls as well so that the hole formed in the bottom wall and the holes formed in the side walls are continuous to form an integrated hole.
  • the transportation of the empty-bag groups from a bag maker to a package maker is efficiently accomplished by vertically stacking a plurality of empty-bag group accommodation trays that accommodates empty-bag groups therein and by storing the stacked empty-bag group accommodation trays in the tray transporting container of the present invention.
  • the above-described object is further accomplished by a unique structure of the present invention for a tray transporting container
  • the tray transporting container of the present invention which stores a plurality of empty-bag group accommodation trays, comprises a container main body, which has a box form shape that is open at a top thereof and which stores the empty-bag group accommodation trays in a vertically stacked manner, and a cover, which closes off an opening of the container main body; and when the opening of the container main body is closed by the cover, the inner surface of the cover fits into the inner portion of the uppermost empty-bag group accommodation tray and presses the empty-bag group accommodated in the empty-bag group accommodation tray from above.
  • a concrete configuration that presses the empty-bag groups from above is, for example, an elastic member that is attached to the inner surface of the cover so that this elastic member fits into the inside of the uppermost empty-bag group accommodation tray.
  • This elastic member presses the empty-bag groups from above, so that disturbance of the stacked state of the empty-bag groups inside the uppermost empty-bag group accommodation tray is prevented during transportation.
  • the side walls of the empty-bag group accommodation tray can be designed so that they are inclined to open outward in the upward direction.
  • the trays at a higher position in the stack fit into the insides of the lower trays when the trays are stacked, and the bottom walls of the trays at a higher position press against the tops of the empty-bag groups inside the lower trays, so that the disturbance of the stacked state of the empty-bag groups is prevented during transportation.
  • step portions that regulate the mutual engagement depth by contacting the higher or lower empty-bag group accommodation trays when the trays are stacked can be formed on the outer surface sides or inner surface sides of the side walls.
  • an extraction member is caused to protrude upward from beneath an empty-bag group accommodation tray positioned in a specified position, through a hole formed in the bottom wall of this empty-bag group accommodation tray; as a result, the empty-bag group is raised from the empty-bag group accommodation tray while remaining in the stacked state; then, the empty-bag group is held by an appropriate holding means so that the stacked state is not disturbed.
  • the empty-bag group thus held is fed onto a conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus and placed on the conveyor with the stacked state maintained.
  • the above object is accomplished by a unique structure of the present invention for an empty-bag group supply system that supplies empty-bag groups to a conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus of a bag-filling packaging machine using the above-described empty-bag group accommodation tray, and in the present invention, the empty-bag group supply system employs:
  • full tray refers to a tray that accommodates an empty-bag group
  • empty tray refers to a tray from which the empty-bag group has been extracted.
  • the full-tray stocking means comprises, for example, a stacking type stocker which stocks a plurality of empty-bag group accommodation trays in a vertically stacked manner and has an anchoring means that can support the lowermost tray by anchoring this tray and can release this lowermost tray.
  • the extraction means that are combined with this stacking type stocker comprises a lifting means which supports and raises and lowers the lowermost tray among the plurality of empty-bag group accommodation trays stocked in the stacking type stocker, and the system is devised so that the successive lowermost trays are successively extracted from the stacking type stocker one at a time by the anchoring means and lifting means.
  • a stacking type stocker can be used; and in this case, anchoring portions that are engaged by the anchoring means (anchoring claws) are required on the outer peripheral side of the empty-bag group accommodation tray.
  • Step portions that regulate the mutual engagement depth can be installed on the empty-bag group accommodation tray; and in this case, it is necessary to position the anchoring portions above the step portions.
  • the above-described full-tray stocking means can comprise a conveyor type stocker that can accumulate a plurality of sets of stacked empty-bag group accommodation trays (with each of these sets containing a plurality of vertically stacked empty-bag group accommodation trays) along the conveying direction.
  • the sets of empty-bag group accommodation trays accumulated in the conveyor type stocker are fed into the stacking type stocker one set at a time.
  • the extraction member be able to suction-chuck the undersurface of the empty-bag group inside the empty-bag group accommodation tray.
  • the undersurfaces of the empty-bag groups are suction-chucked by the extraction member, it is preferable that the undersurfaces of the empty-bag groups be suction-chucked over as broad a range as possible in the direction of length of the empty-bag groups, especially on the front side of the empty-bag groups (the side which is placed on the front side of the conveyor of the conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus, i.e., the side on which the higher bags are positioned). Accordingly, on the front side of the empty-bag groups, it is preferable that the hole formed in the bottom wall of the empty-bag group accommodation tray reach the end portion of the bottom wall in the direction of length of the bottom wall.
  • holes can be formed in an integrated manner in the side walls, so that the extraction member passes through these holes when raised.
  • a stopper which prevents positional deviation by anchoring the front end of the empty-bag group (end portion of the uppermost bag) can be provided on the upper surface of the end portion of the extraction member.
  • the holding means is comprised of a pair of holding members, which hold the empty-bag group from both sides, and a moving means, which moves the holding members. It is preferable that the holding members hold the empty-bag group and bend the empty-bag group along the direction of width of the bags. By thus bending the empty-bag group along the direction of width of the bags, the empty-bag group may have firmness, and the stability during conveying increases.
  • empty-bag groups are accommodated inside an empty-bag group accommodation tray in a stacked state and are transported in this tray, there is no need for a process that applies a wrapper or a process that opens this wrapper. Furthermore, when the empty-bag groups are placed on the conveyor of a conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus, there is no need for extra work or a special apparatus to adjust the stacked state. In addition, by way of arranging the orientations of the empty-bag groups in all of the trays in the same direction, the work to re-arrange the orientations of the bag bundles at a package maker becomes unnecessary. Thus, the process of transporting empty bags manufactured by a bag maker to a package maker and the process of supplying these bags to a conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus are simple, and the amount of work required in both the bag maker and package maker can be reduced.
  • Figures 1A through 1C show the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1 of the present invention in which an empty-bag group W0 is accommodated.
  • the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1 has a box form shape and is open at the top.
  • the bottom wall 2 of the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1 is rectangular, and side walls 3 thereof are formed around this bottom wall.
  • the overall body of the tray 1 is, for example, an integrated plastic molding.
  • the bottom wall 2 has substantially the same width as the width of empty bags W (the "width" of a bag is a direction parallel to the mouth of the bag), and it has a length that is sufficiently longer than the length of the empty bags W (the "length” of a bag is a direction perpendicular to the mouth (opening) of the bag) so that the empty-bag group W0 (an empty-bag group in which a plurality of empty bags W are placed in a stacked state in which these bags are shifted a small amount in the direction of length of the bag) can be carried (in the shown example, this length is approximately three times the length of the empty bags W).
  • a rectangular hole 4 with a length that extends over substantially the entire length of the bottom wall 2 in the direction of length of the bottom wall 2 is formed in the central portion of the bottom wall 2.
  • the side walls 3 are inclined so that these side walls open outward in the upward direction. As a result of this inclination, a relationship is obtained in which the trays at a higher position in the stack are inserted into the lower trays when the empty-bag group accommodation trays 1 are stacked.
  • Flange portions 5 which protrude in the horizontal direction are formed around the entire periphery on the upper ends of the side walls 3, and the outer peripheral edges of the flange portions 5 are bent downward to form edge flanges 5a.
  • Projections 6 that have step portions 6a and 6b at two levels are formed in a plurality of locations on the outer peripheral sides of the side walls 3.
  • the step portions 6a are anchoring portions which are anchored by anchoring claws 21 described later, and the vertical intervals between the step portions 6a and 6b constitute gaps that allow the insertion of these claw members 21.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show a state in which a plurality of empty-bag group accommodation trays 1 accommodating empty-bag groups W0 are stored by being stacked inside a tray transporting container 7.
  • the trays at a higher position in the stack fit inside the lower trays; and in this case, the lower step portions 6b contact the upper surfaces of the flange portions 5 of the lower trays, so that the depth of engagement is regulated, and so that a horizontal orientation and constant height of the respective empty-bag group accommodation trays I are ensured at the same time.
  • the height of the step portions 6b is set so that the bottom walls 2 of the trays at a higher position press against the tops of the empty-bag groups W0 accommodated in the lower trays (with some elastic depression of the empty-bag group W0), thus making it possible to prevent disturbance of the stacked state of the empty-bag groups W0 during transportation.
  • the tray transporting container 7 comprises a container main body 8, which has a box form shape that is open at the top, and a cover 9, which closes off the opening of the container main body 8.

  • the side plate 8a of the container main body 8 of the tray transporting container 7 is freely opened and closed, so that the plurality of stacked empty-bag group accommodation trays 1 can be put in or removed by opening this side plate 8a.
  • Figure 4 shows an empty-bag group supply system for supplying empty bags to the conveyor 12 of the conveyor magazine type empty-bag supply apparatus of a bag-filling packaging machine which is not shown in Figure 4, using the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1.
  • This empty-bag group supply system includes a full-tray supply apparatus 13, a full-tray conveying apparatus 14, an empty-bag group extraction apparatus 15, an empty-bag group supply apparatus 16, and a tray collection apparatus 17.

  • the anchoring claws 21 are fastened to shafts 22 that are rotatable. These anchoring claws 21 anchor the step portions 6a of the lowermost tray among the plurality of empty-bag group accommodation trays 1 stocked inside the stacking type stocker 18, so that the stacked empty-bag group accommodation trays 1 are supported.
  • the lifting device 19 includes a tray support 23, which is raised and lowered, and a raising-and-lowering driver 24; and this lifting device 19 supports the lowermost tray, and raises and lowers this tray.
  • the full-tray conveying apparatus 14 comprises a first conveyor 25 and a second conveyor 26.
  • the first conveyor 25 is positioned in a lower position of the stacking type stocker 18, and the second conveyor 26 is disposed so that this conveyor is connected with the first conveyor 25.

  • the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1 extracted from the stacking type stocker 18 is conveyed on the first conveyor 25 toward the second conveyor 26 from a position directly beneath the stacking type stocker 18; and this tray is transferred onto the second conveyor 26 and is positioned in a specified position on the second conveyor 26.
  • the empty-bag group extraction apparatus 15 has an extraction member 27 that is raised and lowered by means of a raising-and-lowering mechanism not shown in the figures.
  • the extraction member 27 is a hollow box with a rectangular shape as seen in a top view, which can pass through a rectangular hole 4 formed in the bottom plate 2 of the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1.
  • the upper surface of this member is flat, and a plurality of or numerous holes are formed in this surface (see Figures 5A and 5B).
  • the interior of this box is connected to a vacuum source via a switching valve which is not shown in Figure 4.
  • the extraction member 27 rises through the hole 4, and the upper surface of this extraction member 27 contacts the undersurface of the empty-bag group W0 and suction-chucks this empty-bag group; and the extraction member 27 then lifts the empty-bag group W0 to a position above the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1. This state is indicated by a solid line in Figure 4.
  • the empty-bag group supply apparatus 16 comprises a moving means which is not shown in Figure 4 and a pair of holding members 28.
  • the holding members 28 approach and grasp the empty-bag group W0 raised by the extraction member 27 from both sides and then rotate in mutually opposite directions about the shaft 30 so as to bend the empty-bag group W0 along the direction of width of the bags (i.e., so that the bending line of this bending is in the direction of length of the bag group).
  • the holding members 28 grasping the empty-bag group W0 are caused to move in the horizontal direction by the moving means and stop directly above the conveyor 12 (see the imaginary line in Figure 4); then, the holding members 28 are lowered so that the empty-bag group W0 is placed on the conveyor 12.
  • the holding members 28 have a length (length in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing sheet for Figure 4) that can grasp all of the empty bags W that make up the empty-bag group W0 and also have a length that can grasp substantially the entire length of the empty-bag group W0.
  • the tray collection apparatus 17 comprises a third conveyor 29 that is provided in connection with the lower end position (see imaginary line) of the second conveyor 26 that is raised and lowered, a stacking type stocker 31 provided in a position above this conveyor, and a lifting device 32 provided underneath.
  • This tray collection apparatus 17 stacks and collects the empty-bag group accommodation trays 1 that have become empty.
  • the second conveyor 26 also forms a part of the tray collection apparatus 17.
  • Anchoring claws 33 are provided in,the vicinity of the bottom end of the stacking type stocker 31.
  • the anchoring claws 33 are fastened to shafts 34 that are rotatable, and they anchor the step portions 6a of the lowermost tray among the plurality of empty-bag group accommodation trays 1 (empty trays) that are stocked inside the stacking type stocker 31, thus supporting the stacked empty-bag group accommodation trays 1.
  • the lifting device 32 comprises a tray support 35 that can be raised and lowered and a raising-and-lowering driver 36; and the lilting device 32 supports the lowermost tray and raises and lowers this tray.
  • the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1 is formed in several places on its outer periphery with projections 6.
  • These projections 6 have step portions 6a and 6b, and the step portions 6a function as anchoring portions for the anchoring claws 21 and 33.
  • anchoring portions that are anchored by the anchoring claws in positions that are located a specified distance above the step portions 6B, such may have the function of the step portions 6a.
  • the hole 4 in the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1 is not formed over the entire length of the bottom wall 2; accordingly, the extraction member 27 does not suction-chuck the entire length of the of the undersurface of the empty-bag group W0. Consequently, several empty bags W that are not suction-chucked are present in the vicinity of the front end of the empty-bag group W0, and there is a possibility that these empty bags W may undergo a positional deviation when the extraction member 27 is raised. In order to securely prevent such a positional deviation, it is desirable to suction-chuck the undersurfaces of all of the empty bags W constituting the empty-bag group W0.
  • Positional deviation of the empty bags near the front end of the empty-bag group W0 can be prevented by means of empty-bag group accommodation tray 41 and extraction member 47 shown in Figures 5A and 5B.

  • the positions of the projections 46 are also shifted to both sides of the hole 44a.
  • the empty-bag group accommodation tray 41 of Figures 5A and 5B differs from the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1 shown in Figures 1A to 1C only in those structures descried above.
  • the extraction member 47 differs from the extraction member 27 in that the extraction member 47 is extended to the front side of the empty-bag group W0 and in that a stopper 48 that protrudes upward is formed on the tip end of this extraction member 47.
  • the reference number 49 is an upper surface plate in which a plurality of holes are formed
  • 51 is a raisirfg-and-lowering shaft
  • 52 is a vacuum piping.
  • the positional relationship between the extraction member 47 and the empty-bag group W0 is set so that the upper surface plate 49 of the extraction member 47 covers the area up to the front end of the empty-bag group WO,
  • the extraction member 47 rises through the hole 44 (and hole 44a), and the upper surface of the upper surface plate 49 contacts and suction-chucks the undersurface of the empty-bag group W0; and the extraction member 47 further lifts the empty-bag group W0 to a position above the empty-bag group accommodation tray 1.
  • the empty-bag group W0 is thus lifted, all of the empty bags W in the empty-bag group W0 are suction-chucked by the extraction member 47, and thus positional deviation of the empty-bag group W0 tends not to occur on the extraction member 47.
