Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus for use in a bag packaging machine, namely an apparatus for reversing a vessel accommodating contents, for example foods or the like, to be filled into a container such as, for example, a packaging bag. More specifically, the present invention relates to a contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention also relates to a contents-filling vessel for accommodating contents to be filled into a packaging container, more specifically the use of such a vessel with the contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus.
  • a vessel is held by gripping members provided at one end of an rotating arm and the vessel is reversed from an upright state to an inversed state by rotating the arm by approximately 180 degrees, and the vessel still in a being accelerated state is released at this reversed position.
  • the vessel is then hit and stopped by such as a stopper plate or the like to discharge the contents contained in the vessel downwardly. Therefore, a big impact noise is generated at hitting, thereby resulting in one of causes responsible for deteriorated working environments.
  • the vessel may be chipped in part when hitting on the stopper, which may poses a problem that fragments generated are mixed into the packaging container (vessels made of resin are used in many cases).
  • a cushion member made of, for example, rubber or the like is provided at the stopper portion.
  • the impact noise is reduced to a certain extent, this attempt is still not deemed satisfactory. Due to repeated hitting, the rubber as the cushion member as well as the vessel are worn and in some cases, fragments are mixed into the contents to be filled. Besides, in the case viscosity of the contents is relatively high, discharging of the contents from the vessel may become imperfect due to the cushioning action of the cushion member.
  • the vessels usually have a smooth outer circumference, upper and lower end faces free from projections and depressions.
  • engaging surfaces of a pair of gripping members for gripping the vessel is also formed smooth. Therefore, it is necessary to grip the vessel with a considerably strong force in order to prevent the vessel from slipping off from the gripping members when the vessel is reversed.
  • a small portion of the contents may adhere onto the outer circumference of the vessel.
  • the strength of the gripping force should be set at a higher level. Accordingly, wear of the vessel becomes excessive and durability becomes poor. Besides, there is a possibility that foreign matters generated by wear are mixed into the contents.
  • FR-A-2 342 936 discloses a container for stocking and transport of products as well as for their treatment.
  • the container comprises mounting means in form of grooves disposed on an outer circumference thereof.
  • JP 59207327 A discloses a discharging device to discharge radioactive waste with improved safety.
  • a drum holding device holds a drum containing the radioactive waste by gripping the drum below of and close to a projection of the drum.
  • JP 08282602 A discloses a contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus whereby the rotating member contains two recesses to receive and to drop a vessel, with openings of the recesses in opposite directions.
  • Japanese Patent Publication No. 29 29476 discloses a contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention is made in light of the problems with the prior art as mentioned above.
  • the object of the present invention is to present a contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus capable of discharging the contents from the vessel without hitting it against a stopper or the like, thereby preventing generation of noises to realize favorable working environments, and in addition, avoiding breakage of the vessel and preventing entry of fragments of the vessel into the contents to be filled.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to present a use of a contents-filling vessel for accommodating contents to be filled into a packaging container with the above-mentioned contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus.
  • the present invention presents an apparatus according to claim 1.
  • the gripping members grip a vessel and rotate, and when the gripping members stop at the reversal stop position, the vessel is in a reversed state and stopped, thereby discharging the contents in the vessel due to the inertia force.
  • the empty vessel is still gripped by the gripping members even after it is reversed and the contents is discharged, and is released towards the vessel carrying-out device on the way returning to the gripping stop position. Therefore, there is no direct collision of a vessel with a stopper plate as observed in the prior art and problems of chipping of vessels, entry of foreign matters into a packaging container and deterioration of working environments do not occur.
  • the reversal stop position can be regulated to any desired position by the reversal stop position regulating device and, therefore, it is possible to regulate the reversal stop position according to properties and amount of the contents to be filled, processing rate or the like to ensure accurate dropping of the contents into a packaging container disposed directly underneath.
  • the main rotating member comprises a main rotating shaft rotating intermittently in one direction every 180 degrees
  • the rotating device further comprises a supporting shaft supported by the main rotating shaft in parallel to the main rotating shaft in an axial direction and designed to be reciprocally rotatable around an axis thereof between an initial position and a rotated position.
  • the contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus further comprises a supporting shaft rotating device for rotating the supporting shaft.
  • the reversing stop position regulating device regulates the rotated position of the supporting shaft, and the pair of gripping members are mounted on one end of the supporting shaft.
  • the supporting shaft rotating device is designed to change the relative position of the supporting shaft to the main rotating shaft in the direction of rotation by turning the supporting shaft. Therefore, even when two sets of gripping members are provided and these are rotated intermittently every 180 degrees by the reversing device, it is possible to change the reversal stop position while the gripping stop position is fixed.
  • the supporting shaft is rotated during the reversal operation.
  • the way of rotating of the supporting shaft for example by not tilting the vessel greatly at the earlier stage of reversal and tilting the vessel rapidly and greatly at the last end stage of reversal, depending on type, properties, and amount of contents to be filled, it is possible to prevent the contents from flying out from the vessel at an stage earlier than desired.
  • the supporting shaft is formed to be hollow
  • the gripping member opening/closing device comprises a sliding shaft inserted into the hollow section of the supporting shaft and movable in the axial direction.
  • the sliding shaft is connected at one end to the gripping members, and the gripping members are opened and closed interlockingly with the axial direction movement of the sliding shaft.
  • peripheral arrangement of the reversal mechanism of the apparatus can be made compact, and ease of cleaning is improved.
  • the supporting shaft rotating device is equipped with a grooved cam securely positioned with an axis thereof coinciding with the axis of said main rotating shaft, a lever fixed to the other end of said supporting shaft and a cam roller mounted on the lever so as to roll in and move along a groove formed in the grooved cam.
  • a predetermined range in the groove extending in the opposite directions from a position corresponding to the rotated position of the supporting shaft, at least a radius of curvature of an inner wall of said groove is made shorter than a radius of curvature of the inner wall in a rest range in the groove so that a width of the groove in said predetermined range is larger than a width of the groove in the rest range.
  • the reversal stop regulating device is provided with a positioning stopper which abuts against the lever to position the lever at the reversal stop position, and a stopper position regulating device for regulating the position of the stopper.
  • compositions mentioned above it is possible to change the reversal stop position only by adjusting the position of the stopper, and the gripping stop position is unchanged even when the reversal stop position is changed. Therefore, the adjustment can be done easily.
  • two supporting shafts are provided symmetrically with respect to the axis of the main rotating shaft, and each of the supporting shafts is provided with a pair of the gripping members. Therefore, it is possible to improve processing capability of the apparatus.
  • the gripping members grip the vessel on the outer circumference thereof.
  • the vessel is provided with a thin strip projection or a groove formed on the outer circumference and extending over the entire circumference of the vessel, while each of the gripping members is provided with a groove or a thin strip projection formed on the gripping face opposing to the vessel to engage with the thin strip projection or the groove on the vessel.
  • projections or grooves having a nearly circular or trapezoidal section can make reliable and stable the engagement between the thin strip projection and the groove respectively provided on the vessel and gripping members. Besides, if a groove is formed on the vessel, breakage of the vessel due to collision of fellow thin strip projections of adjacent vessels as may be observed when the thin strip projection is formed on the vessel can be avoided.
  • the rotational speed of the main rotating member changes with at least two steps mode.
  • a low speed may be employed during a first movement stage when the gripping members move from the reversal stop position to the vessel discharging position, and a speed higher than that of the first movement stage may be employed during a second movement stage when the gripping member move later to the gripping stop position.
  • the present invention presents the use of a contents-filling vessel for accommodating contents to be filled with the above-mentioned contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus, as defined in appended claim 10.
  • the vessel is provided with a groove formed on the outer circumference thereof and extending over the entire circumference thereof.
  • the sectional profile of the groove is nearly semicircular or trapezoidal in section.
  • breakage of a vessel during operation can be prevented and entry of foreign matters into packaging containers can be prevented. Further, noise generation can be reduced, which contributes to improvement of working environments. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the contents in the vessel from erroneously flying out from the vessel at an undesired stage during operation, and the contents can be dropped surely into a packaging container located directly below the reversal position. Adjustments for this purpose can easily be done.
