Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a method for handling and packaging bags into containers, in particular boxes.
- In the field of manufacturing and packaging bags of plastic material film in general, it is desired by the users of welding machines, or "bagging machines", to carry out packaging in increasingly smaller spaces and with the maximum space usage.
- At present, bags are generated one after the other at a high speed and are piled immediately downstream of the cross welding unit into piles or "packs". Once the pile or sided piles of bags has been completed in the preselected number, such piles of bags are collected by handling units to be placed into boxes or similar containers.
-
WO 94/14659 - For a larger use of the box, the single pile or pack is folded into two equal portions during this pick up step from the piling bar associated to the welding unit.
- It should be immediately noted that the opposite ends of the pile of superimposed bags exhibit a larger thickness arising from the closing weld of bottom and handles. Such larger thickness causes the superimposition of multiple packs or piles doubled up has a non-linear profile upwards, but irregular towards the side where such welds are located.
- The handling unit for picking up the packs, moreover, due to the high welding and piling speed, grips, doubles up and releases one pack after the other from the piling bar to the packaging box.
- In addition, it must be also considered that the need has arisen of arranging such packs or piles of bags into boxes of particular dimensions differing from the extended length of the bags or from a size equal to half their length.
- A solution to such problem has been found in the manual packaging of the packs. The packs are picked up by the piling unit and simply carried and released on a conveyor that directs them towards a packaging zone. In such zone there are operators working to this end that manually introduce the packs into the boxes or containers of various types.
- This causes the presence of special staff that is not always capable of following the speed of welding machines and that in any case increases the product sales costs.
- The object of the present invention therefore is to find a different solution to the technical problem mentioned above.
- Another object is to set up a method for handling and packaging bags into containers adapted for carrying out the task mentioned above which should be particularly simple to be carried out, irrespective of the type of welding machine.
- Yet another object is to device a method for handling and packaging bags into containers which should allow saving on the spaces occupied with full usage of the same, without operators in charge.
- These objects according to the present invention are achieved by carrying out a method for handling and packaging bags into containers as described in the annexed claim 1.
- Further important and particular features of the present invention are the object of the dependent claims.
- The features and advantages of a method for handling and packaging bags into containers according to the present invention will appear more clearly from the following description, made by way of an indicative non-limiting example with reference to the annexed drawings, wherein:
-
figure 1 shows a schematic side elevation view of a first example of arrangement of actuating elements adapted for carrying out a method for handling and packaging bags into containers according to the present invention; -
figures 2 ,3 ,4 and5 show partial views of what shown infigure 1 which show some steps of the method carried out in the arrangement of actuating elements shown; -
figure 6 shows a schematic side elevation view of a second example of arrangement of actuating elements adapted for carrying out a method for handling and packaging bags into containers according to the present invention. - With general reference to the various figures, it must be considered that upstream of one of the various possible arrangements of actuating elements adapted for carrying out a method for handling and packaging bags into containers according to the present invention there are provided the units of a usual known welding machine or bagging machine. In this machine there are provided (not shown) a stacker unit for the bags formed in output from the welding unit, arranged into one or more piles, and die cutting unit of one or more piles or packs of bags, hereinafter indicated with
reference numerals - The method is described in the steps thereof wityh reference to the single pack or
pile -
Figure 1 shows a first arrangement of actuating elements adapted for carrying out the method for handling and packaging bags into containers according to the present invention. - In fact, once at least a first pile 14 (or group of first piles side by side and spaced) has been formed in the selected number of bags with a certain thickness s, the at least one
pile 14 is picked up through atrolley 15 provided with a first array of grippers 16 (a single trolley and a single gripper are schematised in the example, for example in output from a die cutting unit, not shown). - In the mentioned case, in fact, after having been made on a stacking bar,
pile 14 may have been pulled underneath a hollow punch (not shown) for forming the handles, after whichpile 14 of bags, always gripped by the first array ofgrippers 16, is moved at afolding unit 17 forpile 14 for proceeding to the packaging thereof. -
Figure 2 shows how in thefolding unit 17 there is apressing element 18 which, actuated bycylinder 13, moves down for blocking an intermediate zone ofpile 14 close to an end ofpile 14 to be folded on top of afolding element 19. Thegripper 16 oftrolley 15 releases the end gripping of the pile, retracts andgrips pile 14 again, folding it (figure 2 ), with the collaboration of asupport element 20 on board oftrolley 15. In this way, a foldedportion 21 is created in an end inpile 14, arranged on top of the remaining portion of the pile, which is equal to about one fourth of the entire length of the pile of bags and which rested on the remaining portion of the pile generates a thickness 2s. Trolley 15 then pullspile 14 folded as just described towards acontainer 22 or in any case an element for collecting the packs on top of each other, wherepile 14 thus folded is released (figure 3 ). - The welding machine (not shown) then generates at least one subsequent pile or pack 14' that must also be treated in the arrangement of actuating elements adapted for carrying out the method for handling and packaging bags into containers according to the present invention.
- In fact, the subsequent pack 14', once formed, is pickedup by the first array of
grippers 16 of trolley 15 (in the meantime retracted to their initial position) and pulled at a further folding unit 17' for pile 14' (figure 4 ). - A pressing element 18' moves down and blocks an intermediate zone of pile 14' close to the other end of the pile to be folded, opposite the portion folded before, on top of a folding element 19' (
figure 4 ). - Trolley 15 releases pile 14', and retracts to move to the opposite side of the folding element 19'. Once it gets there, a second array of grippers 16' grips pile 14' again, folding it with the collaboration of a support element 20' on board of
trolley 15. This second array of grippers 16', opposite the first array ofgrippers 16, on board oftrolley 15, with the gripping thereof causes the pile to be folded to the other side relative to the first gripping, thus forming a folded portion 21' of pile 14', arranged at the bottom of the remaining portion of the pile and opposite the foldedportion 21 ofpile 14. It is important to note that also in this case, the folded portion 21' is equal to about one fourth of the entire length of the pile of bags, but it is possible to think of an acceptable arrangement also for foldedportions 21 and 21' equal to at least one fifth of the entire length of the pile of bags. - Then, this second array of grippers 16' on board of
trolley 15 pulls the folded pile 14' towardscontainer 22 or in any case over the above element for collecting the packs on top of each other, where it releases it (figure 5 ). - The second pile 14' in this way arranges, with the folded portion 21' opposite the first folded
portion 21 of thefirst pile 14, on top of thefirst pile 14 also provided with foldedportion 21, but at an opposite end thereof. - The superimposition of the at least two subsequent piles into
container 22 makes a total thickness that is only equal to a dimension 3s of thickness s of the single piles of bags being processed, thanks to the fact that a thickness s is determined by combining at the same level the two foldedportions 21 and 21' of different piles that adds to the usual thicknesses s of the remaining portion of the twopiles 14 and 14'. On the other hand in the case of usual packaging with folding at half pile, such thicknesses generated four thicknesses s in superimposition of two piles folded in a half. - The next pile or
pack 14" comes up again like thefirst pile 14 and is folded and handled in the same way as thefirst pile 14. And so on, with piles folded at opposite ends to make an alternating superimposed arrangement intocontainer 22, for carrying out the inventive method. - This method has been described when carried out with the first arrangement of actuating elements shown in
figure 1 and infigures 2 to 5 . - However, such method may also be carried out through different arrangements, like that shown in
figure 6 . - In this
figure 6 there are elements totally similar to some of those shown infigure 1 which are indicated with the same reference numerals. - Moreover, the box or
container 22 is arranged on top of a revolving table 23 that allows moving the position ofbox 22 relative to the handling units by 180° forward and backward. - In this second arrangement a first step is therefore carried out, equal to that described above up to inserting a
first pile 14 intocontainer 22, with foldedportion 21 arranged on top of the remaining portion of the pile. Then, there is a second step whereincontainer 22 is turned by 180° so that the next pile 14' even if gripped and folded in the same way is inserted into position with end folding 21', also with foldedportion 21 arranged on top of the remaining portion of the pile, but opposite folding 21 of theprevious pile 14. -
Piles folding 21, 21', on top of the remaining portion of the pile, occupying the minimum space intocontainer 22 in a thickness 3s, solving the problems of space and proper piling found so far in the packaging of piles of bags. - The mentioned space saving is also obtained with this different piling and packaging method.
- Moreover, a smaller thickness arrangement is obtained which allows the superimposition of multiple packs or piles doubled up with linear profile upwards and not irregular towards the sides.
- Moreover, the need of staff in charge of the staggered packaging of the piles on top of each other has been eliminated.
