Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slip-on device for valve bags on a filling tube of a filling machine, comprising a supply device for stacked in a bundle valve sacks, which are preferably made of plastic material and with rider band.
  • the invention is in particular directed to a separating device, which is designed to receive in each case a valve sack of the bundle and an alignment device which aligns the valve sack for attachment to the filling tube.
  • valve bags Automatic filling machines are frequently used to fill various free-flowing bulk materials in valve bags. These usually have several, mostly rotating filling tubes.
  • the valve bags are characterized in that they have at their upper end an opening to receive the filling tube of the filling machine.
  • the main advantage of valve bags is that they self-close after being filled and removed from the machine. The removal of the filled valve bag can therefore be rational.
  • valve bags Automatic clip-on devices for valve bags are known from the prior art. Usually they will the valve bags fed in bundles. Before separating the topmost valve bag, the bundle is aligned at two right angles to each other arranged straightening edges. A lift arm removes the uppermost valve bag and transfers it to a valve opening station. Thanks to the orientation of the bundle, the single bag is also aligned and therefore its position and that of its openable valve are defined. This type of alignment works well for bundles in which the individual valve bags are uniformly positioned.
  • stitched bags made of plastic material, which are closed at their top and bottom, each with a sewing - usually with a rider tape -.
  • the valve is incorporated at the front of the bag in the area of the upper edge. The smooth plastic material and the often considerable in manual manufacturing tolerances of the valve bags with each other lead to an imprecise positioning of the individual valve bag in the bundle. The desired unambiguous orientation can thus no longer be guaranteed sufficiently.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved clip-on device and an operating method for it, which is more robust against positional deviations and thus allows higher clock frequencies.
  • a slip-on device for valve sacks on a filling tube of a filling machine comprising a supply device for stacked in a bundle valve bags, preferably made of plastic material and with rider band, a singulator, which is designed to receive each a valve bag from the bundle, an alignment device for the recorded valve bag , And a transport device for the isolated valve bag, the invention provides that the alignment is arranged in the direction of the singulator and the alignment gripper and a height control system comprises, by means of which the isolated valve bag along a lifting guide is vertically aligned.
  • the essence of the invention lies in the idea of first performing a separation of the valve sacks, and then aligning the isolated valve sack only after that and, if necessary, smoothing it.
  • the invention achieves this by accommodating the singulated valve bag without being aligned in advance and then transferred to the transport device. Only at the subsequent station, the alignment, is a vertical alignment of the valve bag and possibly a horizontal tightening done.
  • the vertical alignment takes place according to the invention by means of a lifting device comprising a height control system.
  • the invention Since, according to the invention, the separation takes place in the unaligned state, the invention is therefore robust against incorrect positioning of individual valve sacks in the bundle. Even large tolerances do not interfere with this. In particular, sloping valve bags in the bundle can be processed well. The robustness against not exactly aligned valve bags in the bundle is thus increased.
  • the invention has the advantage that also width deviations of the valve bags in the bundle will not hurt. This measure deviations of the valve bags can be collected.
  • the invention offers the advantage that when aligning both dimensions, i. vertical alignment as well as horizontal alignment (tightening) can be performed simultaneously. This allows shorter cycle times and thus an increase in the clock frequency. Overall, the invention thus combines a greater robustness with respect to the positioning and tolerance deviation of the valve bags with the potential for higher clock frequencies.
  • the alignment device has a spreading device. With this can be carried out in a simple manner when aligning the smoothing of the valve bag.
  • the grippers are movable away from each other. This can be achieved in a structurally simple and elegant way, the desired spread functionality.
  • the height control system preferably comprises a height sensor which acts via a control device on the lifting mechanism of the gripper. Accordingly, a Sp Dretzbe dictionaryr is preferably provided, which limits the spreading of the gripper via a controller.
  • the grippers are preferably arranged to be movable between a lower position (home position) and an upper position (alignment position), being opened in the lower home position for receiving the valve sack and moved to the alignment position after closing by means of the lift control ,
  • the alignment position is determined by the height control system.
  • the grippers are movable between an upper starting position and a lower aligning position. The upper starting position is fixed, while the lower alignment position is determined by the relative positioning of the gripper to the valve bag.
  • the gripper two linear guides, one transverse to the upper edge of the bag and the other is aligned parallel thereto. This makes it possible to achieve a lifting movement for the valve bag by means of the transversely oriented linear guide, while on the parallel aligned linear guide smoothing (tightening) can be achieved by moving apart of the gripper.
  • the grippers are designed as scissor grippers, which engage over the upper bag edge. This avoids the risk of damage to the sensitive top seam of the valve bag, and prevents the overflowing of compression in the uppermost region, so that the valve arranged there as a rule can be opened more easily.
  • the grippers can be provided with friction linings or are preferably equipped with suckers.
  • the grippers are rotatable about a horizontal axis. This ensures that no deformations of the valve sack occur even when the upper edge of the valve bag is inclined during the alignment, in particular in the region of the points of engagement of the gripper.
  • the invention further extends to a corresponding method for attaching a valve sack to a filling tube of a filling machine. It comprises the steps of feeding a bundle of stacked valve sacks, preferably of plastic material and with rider tape, separating one of the valve sacks from the bundle, transporting the separated valve sack to an alignment station, aligning the singulated valve sack, according to the invention aligning by means of a gripper Separation takes place, wherein the alignment by means of a height control system comprises gripping and vertical movement of the valve bag until its upper edge reaches a defined alignment position, and subsequent removal to the filling tube.
  • the grippers are preferably in the lower receiving position in the open position on the transport device until the isolated valve bag is moved into the open gripper. Thereafter, the grippers close and move with the valve bag upwards until a defined height position is reached for each gripper and thus the movement of the gripper is stopped.
  • This may be a mechanical stop for the top of the valve bag or a height sensor with a controller which detects the bag top and stops the movement of the gripper.
  • the grippers are in the open position in an upper starting position on the transport device.
  • the isolated valve bag moves under the open gripper.
  • the grippers then move down towards the bag, until a sensor detects the upper edge of the bag and stops the gripper.
  • the grippers then hold the valve bag in a defined position, and then only need to move back up to the starting position.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of a slip-on device according to the invention is embedded in a filling system, as in Fig. 1 is shown schematically. It includes a filling machine 1, a supply device 2 for bundles of stacked valve bags and a slip-3.

  • the feeder 2 serves to feed bundles 9 stacked valve sacks 90. It comprises a conveyor belt 21 (in Fig. 1 only partially shown), which transports the bundle 9 through an input portal 31 to the slip-on device 3 from a feed point, not shown.
