Definitions

  • the present invention relates to product-packing machine fields, and more particularly, to a receiving and clamping device for packing bag in filling machine.
  • various bag-supplying type filling machines for wide-mouthed shaping bags on the market are all in the form of multi-station rotary packing by use of a round rotary table; the basic structure mode required for this form is that there are a number of clamping devices uniformly distributed on the round rotary table, and that a bag-supplying structure is arranged outside the round rotary table; bags are supplied to respective clamping device via the bag-supplying structure, so as to implement the product packing.
  • the clamping device of an existing bag-supplying type filling machine for shaping bags is fixed on the rotary table in order to meet the requirements for the bag-supplying structure to supply bags to respective stations on the rotary table; the rotary table is operated in a stepping rotation mode, so that the bag-supplying structure may supply bags to the clamping device when the rotary table pauses; however, the stepping rotary table consumes a large number of effective time in the ceaseless start-stop-start process and results in a low work efficiency of the filling machine, meanwhile the power consumption of the filling machine is large because of the frequent start and stop of the rotary table.
  • a packing bag is directly protruding into the filling port at the filling station manually; the above manual inserting mode leads to a low labor productivity and high probability of anthropogenic pollution.
  • the objective of the present invention is to provide a receiving and clamping device for packing bag in filling machine, which may precisely receive and clamp packing bags delivered by a bag-supplying device during continuous rotation of a rotary table.
  • a receiving and clamping device for packing bag in filling machine comprises: a rotary table and a number of clamping components uniformly distributed along the periphery of the rotary table;
  • the clamping component comprises a base and a clamping arm hinged on the upper end face of the base;
  • a first spring is biased between the rear-end of the clamping arm and the rear portion of the base;
  • a stop block is fixed at the bottom of the clamping arm and a bump aligning with the stop block is fixed at the bottom of the rotary table;
  • an arc-shaped guide groove uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the rotary table is arranged at the bottom of the rotary table in adjacency to the periphery thereof;
  • a hook is hinged to the base;
  • an axle pin fixed to the hook is protruding into the guide groove;
  • a cylinder and a pusher dog hinged to the piston rod of the cylinder are arranged outside the rotary table; the pusher dog is fitted with
  • an ejector rod is hinged to the rear end of the clamping arm; the rear portion of the ejector rod is passing through a base body hinged to the rear portion of the base; the first spring is wrapped around the ejector rod with two ends of the first spring resting against the front part of the ejector rod and the base body respectively.
  • a second spring is connected between the base and the rotary table.
  • the hook is hinged to the bottom of the base; both ends of the second spring are respectively connected to the bottom of the base and the bottom surface of the rotary table.
  • the circle center of the guide groove is coincident with the gyration center of the rotary table.
  • the tail-end of the guide groove is flexural towards the inner side of the rotary table.
  • a bracket is arranged outside the rotary table; the cylinder is fixed to the bracket; the pusher dog is hinged to the bracket.
  • the receiving and clamping device for packing bag in filling machine has reasonable structure and reliable performance; the device can avoid the work process of frequent start-stop-start of the rotary table and ensure that the rotary table may run in a uniform speed stably throughout, so as to greatly improve the productivity of the filling machine; moreover, since the clamping component is fixed when it is in a halted position, the uncertainty of packing bag's handover position caused by the rotary interval or rotary inertia of the rotary table will be prevented; Thus, the packing bag's handover with the bag-supplying structure is reliable and precise.
  • a receiving and clamping device for packing bag in filling machine comprises a rotary table 1 and a number of clamping components 2; the clamping components 2 are uniformly distributed at the periphery of the rotary table 1.
  • a number of segments of arc-shaped guide groove 1a are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction on the rotary table 1 in adjacency to the periphery thereof; the circle center of the guide groove 1a is coincident with the gyration center of the rotary table 1; the tail-end 1a1 of the guide groove 1a is flexural towards the inner side of the rotary table 1.
  • the clamping component 2 comprises a base 2a; a guide block 11 embedded in the base 2a is protruding into the guide groove 1a.
  • a hook 3 is hinged to the base 2a by an axle pin 9; an axle pin 8 fixed to the hook 3 is protruding into the guide groove 1a; a second spring 7 is connected between the base 2a and the rotary table 1.
  • the guide groove 1a is located at the bottom surface of the rotary table 1; the hook 3 is hinged to the bottom of the base 2a; both ends of the second spring 7 are connected to the bottom of the base 2a and the bottom surface of the rotary table 1 respectively.
  • a clamping arm 2b is hinged to the upper end surface of the base 2a; a first spring 2d is biased between the rear-end of the clamping arm 2b and the rear portion of the base 2a in such a manner that an ejector rod 2f is hinged to the rear-end of the clamping arm 2b through an axle pin 2c with the rear portion of the ejector rod 2f passing through a base body 2e and that the first spring 2d is wrapped around the ejector rod 2f with both ends resting against the front part of the ejector rod 2f and the base body 2e respectively.
  • the base body 2e is hinged to the rear portion of the base 2a.
  • a stop block 2g is fixed at the bottom of the clamping arm 2b and a bump 10 aligning with the stop block 2g in the circumferential direction is fixed at the rotary table 1; the number of the stop block 2g corresponds to that of the clamping component 2.
  • a pusher dog 4 fitted with the hook 3 and a cylinder 6 fixed to a bracket 5 are both arranged outside the rotary table 1 with the pusher dog 4 hinged to both the bracket 5 and a piston rod 6a of the cylinder 6.
  • the pusher dog 4 may be rotated to a position where it is separated from the hook 3 or to a position where it blocks the hook 3 by operating the cylinder 6.
  • the rotary table 1 is rotating, and when the pusher dog 4 is in contact with the hook 3 of the clamping component 2, the clamping component 2 will be in the pause state while the rotary table 1 will still be rotating ; at this moment, a bag may be supplied to the base 2a of the clamping component 2 by a bag-supplying structure; when a bag-supplying operation is completed, the stretched clamping component 2b presses down the head of the packing bag to clamp the packing bag under the effect of the first spring 2d, while the bump 10 on the rotating rotary table 1 collides with the stop block 2g at the bottom of the clamping arm.
  • the pusher dog 4 is separated from the hook 3 by operating the cylinder 6.
  • the hook 3 may also be separated from the pusher dog 4 without operating the cylinder 6 but through the axle pin 8 of the hook 3 sliding into the flexural tail-end 1a1 of the guide groove 1a gradually along with the continuous rotation of the rotary table 1, under the condition that the hook 3 is resting against the pusher dog 4.
  • the clamping component 2 is repositioned and rotated to a filling station for filling along with the rotating rotary table 1 under the effect of the second spring 7.
  • the cylinder 6 operates the pusher dog 4 for rotation through a signal control, so that it is possible for the pusher dog 4 to stop the clamping component selectively; in this way, it is possible to implement multi-station bag-filling.
  • a receiving and clamping device for packing bag in filling machine when a pusher dog is in contact with a hook of a clamping component while a rotary table is rotating, the clamping component will be in the pause state while the rotary table 1 will be still rotating; at this moment, a bag may be supplied to the clamping component by a bag-supplying structure; when a bag-supplying operation is completed, the stretched clamping component presses down the head of the packing bag to clamp the packing bag, while the bump on the rotational rotary table collides with the stop block at the bottom of the clamping arm ; When the hook is separated from the pusher dog by operating a cylinder along with the continuous rotation of the rotary table, the clamping component clamping a packing bag is rotated to a filling station for filling along with the rotary table.
  • the receiving and clamping device for packing bag in filling machine has reasonable structure and reliable performance; it is possible for the device to avoid the work process of frequent start-stop-start of the rotary table and ensure that the rotary table may run in a uniform speed stably throughout, so as to greatly improve the productivity of the filling machine; moreover, since the clamping component is fixed when it is in a halted position, the uncertainty of packing bag's handover position caused by the rotary interval or rotary inertia of the rotary table will be prevented; Thus, the packing bag's handover with the bag-supplying structure is reliable and precise.
