Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved packaging machine.
  • Packaging machines are known in the art that are equipped with packaging plates on which a product to be packaged is abutted and inserted inside a plastic heat-shrinking film. After such operation, the product and the plastic film wrapping the product itself are translated into a welding and packaging area by heat-shrinking the film. Heat-shrinking and welding of open film edges occurs in a single operation by closing a oscillating bell with which such types of machines are equipped. This bell comprises members adapted for welding the open edges of the plastic film and..for containing hot air that heats the film in which the product is wrapped.
  • the oscillating bell for containing hot air is composed of a bell made of plastic material secured to a metallic supporting frame, welded on its four sides, and of members that lock the bell itself and contain rubber gasket and related driving handle. It is however clear that such known oscillating bells, since the relatively high number of members composing them are costly and require long assembling times.
  • known machines as described above are generally equipped with bulky and heavy supporting structures, that impair shipment and transport of machines and require long and cumbersome assembling steps.
  • US-A-4 104 848 discloses a packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems by providing an improved packaging machine equipped with a packaging plate that can be translated orthogonally and/or longitudinally with respect to the packaging line, and further equipped with a supporting structure with reduced overall sizes and light weight in order to make its transport easier and characterised in that it is able to be extremely easily and quickly assembled with respect to what is proposed by the prior art.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing an improved packaging machine as mentioned above that is further equipped with a thermoformed oscillating bell that is cheaper and simpler to manufacture with respect to what is proposed by the prior art.
  • the improved packaging machine 1 comprises:
  • thermoformed oscillating bell 10 of the improved packaging machine 1 comprises a bell 11 made of thermoformed plastic material, such bell 11 being equipped with a frame 13 made of thermo-resistant material and advantageously manufactured through a die to which the bell 11 is fastened.
  • frame 13 comprises all housings provided for containing and fastening the thermoformed bell 11, the related gaskets 15, a housing seat for the rubber profile 12 as abutment for the welding blade arranged as reference on the machine and a housing of a driving handle 14.
  • a prefered embodiment of the packaging plate 20 that is able to translate of the improved packaging machine 1 comprises a first plane 21, transversally sliding in a known way along suitable first sliding means (not shown) according to the direction designated in FIG. 3a by arrow F T orthogonal to a direction of the packaging line LC of the packaging machine 1 in order to adapt itself to the width of the delivered plastic film 4, for example from a coil 6 and the product, and a second plane 23 overlapped to the first plane 21 and sliding thereon along second sliding means 25, such as for example at least one guide, according to a direction designated by arrow F L parallel to the packaging line LC of the packaging machine 1.
  • the packaging plane 20 that is able to translate can also comprise means for blocking the position of the second plane 23 with respect to the first plane 21, realised for example as at least one screw-type pin 27, through which it is possible to lock or unlock the sliding of the second plate 23 with respect to the first plate 21 in order to provide the packaging plane 20 with its desired sizes depending on the product to be packaged.
  • a preferred embodiment of the reduced-encumbrance supporting structure 30 of the improved packaging machine 1 comprises at least three supporting legs 31 (in the preferred embodiment of the Figures a reduced-encumbrance supporting structure 30 is shown that preferably has, due to symmetry and stability reasons, four supporting legs 31) preferably shaped as a "L" (even if obviously supporting legs 31 having other different shapes can also be manufactured), since the upper ends of such supporting legs 31 are adapted to be inserted in suitable seats 33a of a supporting plane 33b of such packaging machine 1.
  • the reduced-encumbrance supporting structure 30 further comprises a cross-shaped connecting member 35 adapted to mutually connect the lower ends of the supporting legs 31.
  • the cross-shaped connecting member 35 is composed of two half-casings 35a, that are preferably mutually equal, each one of which has, in its internal part, half of a housing seat 35b of each one of the lowed ends of the supporting legs 31. Joining of the two half-casings 35a defines a housing seat for the lower ends of every supporting leg 31: the two half-casings 35a can be mutually blocked through joints or other locking systems, such as for example through-screws 36a and related nuts 35b.
  • the cross-shaped connecting member 35 comprises a single central member that is radially equipped on its external perimeter with a fastening bracket 37 for each one of the lower ends of the supporting legs 31, such fastening being however able to be secured by using screws 38 housed in suitable through-holes 39 obtained in each fastening bracket 37 and in a corresponding position in the related lower ends of the supporting legs 31.
  • the cross-shaped connecting member 35 comprises a single central member that is radially equipped on its external perimeter with a fastening pin 34 for each one of the lower ends of the supporting legs 31, such fastening pin 34 being able to be inserted inside a suitable seat obtained inside such lower ends, such fastening being able to be possibly reinforced by using screws 38 housed in suitable through-holes 39 obtained in each fastening pin 34 and in a corresponding position in the related lower ends of the supporting legs 31.
  • the cross-shaped connecting member 35 comprises a single central member equipped, on an upper surface thereof, with a first housing seat 35c housing the lower ends of a first pair of supporting legs 31, that are mutually diametrally opposite, and, on a lower face thereof, with a second housing seat 35d, orthogonal to such first housing seat 35c, housing the lower ends of a second pair of supporting legs 31 that are mutually diametrally opposite.
  • fastening of the lower ends of the supporting legs 31 to the cross-shaped connecting member 35 can be reinforced through suitably placed screws 38.
  • each supporting leg 31 can further be equipped with a suitable reference notch (not shown) adapted to allow placing such supporting leg 31 in the cross-shaped connecting member 35 in a suitably perpendicular way to the floor.
  • each one of them can be decomposed into many members that are able to be mutually assembled, for a simpler and less encumbrant packaging and transport, such as for example an angular member, a riser member and a basic member, each one able to be inserted into the other.
  • Each supporting leg 31 can further be equipped, in a suitable position, with an inserting seat (not shown) of at least one castor assembly 37.
