Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging module in which at least two operations are performed on flexible containers arranged in a row, said operations being those which are performed after the actual formation of the containers, such as the operations of opening, filling and closing the containers.
  • the packaging module comprises at least two rotating operational wheels of vertical shafts, at least one of which is motor-operated. Said operational wheels are provided with corresponding means for carrying out the aforementioned operations on the containers.
  • the module also comprises a drive chain or belt which links with the operational wheels, describing a closed trajectory.
  • the invention also contemplates a horizontal packaging machine and a packaging method.
  • automatic machines intended for the continuous packaging of liquid products, such as for example juices and soft drinks, granulated products, ground products or powdered products in flexible containers in the form of pouches.
  • liquid products such as for example juices and soft drinks, granulated products, ground products or powdered products in flexible containers in the form of pouches.
  • automatic packaging machines are provided with a formation line for forming pouches of a heat-sealing material and with a line for filling the pouches with the product to be packaged or packaging line which is linked with the former.
  • Patent document ES2226518 discloses an automatic packaging machine comprising pouch formation means or means for supplying pre-made pouches, determining a virtual longitudinal axis, means for conveying pouches for their packaging and means for packaging pouches.
  • the means for conveying pouches are linked with the pouch formation means or with the means for supplying pre-made pouches by means of a pouch transfer device.
  • the means for conveying pouches comprise a pouch conveying guide which describes a closed trajectory made up of a first semi-circumferential portion and a second semi-circumferential portion mutually facing one another at the inner face thereof and linked at the corresponding ends by means of straight portions, forming an oblong interior in which means for packaging pouches are arranged, the conveying guide determining a virtual longitudinal axis.
  • Horizontal packaging machines in turn are typically provided with a container formation module and a packaging module which cooperate such that the containers manufactured in the formation module are transferred individually or in batches to the packaging module, where operations such as opening, filling and closing said containers are carried out.
  • the packaging modules known until now comprise a series of longitudinally aligned work stations where the aforementioned operations of opening, filling and closing are simultaneously carried out.
  • the flexible containers are arranged in longitudinal alignment, separated from each other, according to the separating distance of the work stations, forming a packaging line which moves forward intermittently, thus displacing the containers from one station to the next.
  • the machines are provided with a conveying carriage which simultaneously holds all the flexible containers of the packaging line and also simultaneously conveys them between two consecutive stations.
  • patent document ES2257180 discloses a container conveying device that can be applied to automatic packaging machines, of the type provided with a formation line for forming flexible containers in the form of pouches from a sheet of heat-sealing material and with a packaging line in which the containers are at least filled and closed in corresponding stations in longitudinal alignment.
  • the drawback of this type of arrangement is that the movement of the containers or groups of flexible containers is not continuous, but rather intermittent.
  • the forward movement speed of the containers during the different packaging stations is very limited compared to the speed that could be attained because when the containers move forward intermittently, the liquid, granulated or powdered product contained therein may come out before the container is closed due to the ripple effect that would occur if the speed is not controlled.
  • a packaging module for performing at least two operations on flexible containers arranged in a row, said operations being after the actual formation of said containers, such as opening, placing a spout in, filling and/or closing said containers, is disclosed.
  • the packaging module comprises at least two rotating operational wheels of vertical shafts, at least one of which is motor-operated, said operational wheels being provided with corresponding means for carrying out the respective operations on the containers, and a drive chain or belt which, linked with the operational wheels, describes a closed trajectory.
  • the packaging module is essentially characterized in that the angle of contact of the chain with the operational wheels is greater than 180° and in that said chain is provided with holding means for the suspension of the flexible containers throughout their entire path, and said holding means are operated by the relative movement of the chain with respect to another preferably static component of the module.
  • the component of the module with respect to which the chain moves for operating the holding means can be, for example, the bedplate of the module.
  • the packaging module itself, as indicated by its name, is modular as it allows adding or removing operational wheels according to if more or fewer operations with respect to the type of container and product contained therein are required.
  • a flexible container is fed into the packaging module object of the invention, it is suspended by their respective holding means while the first operation up until the last operation are performed thereon, i.e., the holding means attached to the drive chain or belt assigned to a container do not abandon it until the packaging operations after the formation of the container end, unlike modules in which the container is suspended by a different clamp every time a different operation is to be performed on it and in which said interchanges generate imprecision in the different operations due to the fact that the container may have been bent or seized at a different point each time, etc.
  • the arrangement of the invention allows the flexible containers to move at a continuous and constant speed, preventing the content from being able to come out of the container while the relevant operations are performed in the corresponding operational wheels until closing the container, unlike what occurred in earlier packaging modules due to their intermittent movement.
  • the speed therefore no longer has to be restricted to prevent the ripple effect, being able to reach speeds greater than those used up until now.
  • this increase in speed allows attaining the same rate determined by the module for making the containers, i.e., the passage of the formed containers to the packaging module will no longer slow down the overall process because in the packaging module of the invention there is no risk of the content coming out of the container, thereby increasing the production of packaged units.
  • Another advantage is that since the ripple effect has been solved, it is no longer necessary to first place a stopper in the container for filling it through such stopper, through its small hole, but rather the container can be filled directly through the wide mouth of the container and the stopper can then be placed, simplifying and accelerating the packaging process.
  • the rotating operational wheels are gear wheels the teeth of which are provided with notches in which corresponding pins linking the consecutive links of the chain in an articulated manner mesh or are inserted.
  • the chain will therefore always be centered on the operational wheels and constant maintenance for adjusting it is not necessary like in other chains of packaging modules in which the chains frequently lose tension and must be tensioned again to solve the packaging defects caused by the imprecision of the positions of the containers with respect to the chain.
  • the self-centering of the chain in the packaging module of the invention ensures precision in the operations performed on the containers upon their passage through the different operational wheels.
  • the teeth of the operational wheels are preferably interchangeable to facilitate their replacement in the event of wear and they are made of a non-metal material, so they are easier to machine and have fewer risks of the teeth being able to accidentally injure an operator who is replacing them or performing manipulation tasks with the operational wheels.
  • the packaging module comprises at least one deflection wheel arranged outside the closed trajectory of the chain and facing a sector of chain between two adjacent operational wheels, such that when the chain abandons one operational wheel it immediately links with the deflection wheel, an inflection point being determined in the trajectory of the chain when its curvature changes direction.
  • the packaging module comprises at least one deflection wheel arranged outside the closed trajectory of the chain and facing a sector of chain between two adjacent operational wheels, such that when the chain abandons the deflection wheel it immediately links with an operational wheel, an inflection point being determined in the trajectory of the chain when its curvature changes direction.
  • the arrangement of the deflection wheels thus contributes to the angle of contact of the chain with the operational wheels being greater than 180°, i.e., to most of the perimeter of the operational wheels coinciding with a sector of the trajectory of the chain.
  • the chain can go from one to the other virtually being linked with the teeth of a wheel at all times, whether they are the teeth of the operational wheel or of the deflection wheel, which contributes to the chain not increasing in length after several cycles, whereby reducing maintenance costs.
  • the deflection wheel is also a gear wheel the teeth of which are provided with notches in which corresponding pins linking in an articulated manner the consecutive links of the chain mesh or are inserted.
  • the packaging module preferably comprises as many deflection wheels as operational wheels, and a deflection wheel is arranged between every two adjacent operational wheels outside the closed trajectory of the chain, such that when the chain abandons one operational wheel it immediately links with a deflection wheel, and when the chain abandons said deflection wheel it immediately links with the operational wheel adjacent to the former, respective inflection points being determined in the trajectory of the chain.
  • all the operational wheels are preferably arranged inside the closed trajectory of the chain.
  • the operational wheels can have the same diameter, though preferably at least two operational wheels have different diameters.
  • the size will also depend on the elements necessary for carrying out the different packaging operations in the corresponding operational wheels.
  • the angle of contact of the chain with the operational wheels is greater than 260°, thereby optimally reducing the space necessary for housing the packaging module.
  • each holding means for the suspension of a flexible container comprises clamps operated by a respective sensing device arranged in the chain which follows a trajectory determined by a cam surface fixed to the component of the preferably static module, such that the separating distance between the ends of the clamps is adjustable depending on the point of the trajectory determined by the cam surface in which the sensing device is located.
  • the preferably static component of the module can be, for example, the bedplate on which the vertical shafts of the operational wheels can be mounted.
  • the cam surface in collaboration with the sensing devices, serves to move the clamps holding the flexible containers while the chain is in motion, for example, for opening and closing the containers.
  • the cam surface can also be configured to rotate the clamps to facilitate feeding the containers into the first operational wheel.
  • a horizontal packaging machine provided with a container formation module and a packaging module, which cooperate such that the containers manufactured in the formation module are transferred to the packaging module where the operations of opening, filling and/or closing the containers are carried out, is disclosed.
  • the packaging machine is essentially characterized in that the packaging module is the one described above.
  • the packaging module contributes to the packaging machine being more compact and to increasing the production speed compared to other existing packaging machines.
  • a packaging method which comprises performing at least two operations on formed flexible containers arranged in a row, such as opening, filling and/or closing said containers, is disclosed.
  • Figures 16 and 17 depict a horizontal packaging machine 100 comprising a formation module 20 for forming flexible containers 9 and a packaging module 10.
  • the flexible containers 9 are manufactured in the formation module 20, for example from continuous sheets of flexible material which are cut, folded and welded to form flexible containers 9 in the form of a pouch, suitable for containing liquid, granulated, ground or powdered products.
  • the containers 9 manufactured in the formation module 20 are transferred in a row to the packaging module 10, where the packaging operations, such as opening the container 9, filling it with the product, placing straws and/or stoppers and finally closing the container 9, are performed.
  • the packaging module 10 forming part of the horizontal packaging machine 100 depicted in Figures 16 and 17 comprises four rotating operational wheels 1, 2, 3 and 4 of vertical shafts, at least one of which is motor-operated, in this case wheel 1.
  • the operational wheels 1, 2, 3 and 4 are provided with corresponding means for carrying out the respective operations on the flexible containers 9, i.e., each operational wheel 1, 2, 3 and 4 forms a station in which a determined operation is carried out on the formed container 9.
  • the formed containers 9 are fed into the packaging module 10 in a row, they are seized by respective holding means 7 provided in a drive chain 5 or belt which, linked with the operational wheels 1, 2, 3 and 4, describes a closed trajectory, such that one holding means 7 holds a specific container 9 from the time it is fed into the packaging module 10 and does not release it until the delivery thereof.
  • each holding means 7 for the suspension of a flexible container 9 comprises clamps 71 (see Figures 12 , 13 and 14 ) operated by a respective sensing device 72 arranged in the chain 5 which follows a trajectory determined by a cam surface 75 mounted in a static component of the module 10, for example the bedplate 74, such that the separating distance between the ends of the clamps 71 is adjustable depending on the point of the trajectory determined by the cam surface 75 in which its respective sensing device 72 is located.
  • the bedplate 74 is a static element on which the vertical shafts of the operational wheels 1 to 4 can be mounted.
  • the cam surface 75 in collaboration with the sensing devices 72, serves to move the clamps 71 holding the flexible containers 9 while the chain 5 is in motion, for example, for opening and closing the containers 9.
  • the cam surface 75 can also be configured to rotate the clamps 71 to facilitate feeding the containers 9 into the first operational wheel 1.
  • the adjustment capacity is determined, among others, by the existence of several oblong holes and elements 73a, 73b and 73c which allow the sliding of the arms of the clamps 71 to move to one side, up, down, to move closer to or farther from one another, according to the point of the trajectory of the cam surface 75 where the sensing device 72 of the clamps 71 in question is located.
  • the angle of contact ⁇ of the chain 5 with the operational wheels 1, 2, 3 and 4 is greater than 180°, i.e., the closed trajectory of the chain 5 comprises a series of sectors in which its trajectory coincides with more than half the perimeter of each operational wheel 1, 2, 3 4.
  • the packaging module 10 of Figure 17 comprises four deflection wheels 8, each of them arranged outside the closed trajectory of the chain 5 and facing a sector of chain 5 between two adjacent operational wheels 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-1.
  • the arrangement of the deflection wheels 8 in said packaging module 10 is such that when the chain 5 abandons one operational wheel 1, 2, 3 or 4, it immediately links with the deflection wheel 8, an inflection point 6 thus being determined in the trajectory of the chain 5 when its curvature changes direction.
  • the chain 5 abandons the deflection wheel 8 it immediately links with the adjacent operational wheel 2, 3, 4 or 1, another inflection point 6 being determined in the trajectory of the chain 5 when its curvature changes direction again.
  • FIGS 1 to 8 schematically depict different packaging modules 10, showing the arrangement of the assembly formed by the operational wheels 1-4, the deflection wheels 8 and the chain 5.
  • All packaging modules 10 comprise at least two operational wheels 1 and 2 and a drive chain 5 or belt which, linked with them, describes a closed trajectory in which, as previously stated, the angle of contact ⁇ of the chain 5 with the operational wheels 1-4 is greater than 180°.
  • the angle of contact ⁇ being greater than 180° is achieved by suitably arranging at least one deflection wheel 8, as is clearly shown in the following examples.
  • Figures 1 to 5 schematically depict five packaging modules 10 comprising two operational wheels 1 and 2 and a chain 5 the angle of contact ⁇ of which with the operational wheels 1 and 2 is greater than 180°, and even greater than 260° in some cases (see Figures 3 to 5 ), which contributes to the module 10 being more compact.
  • the packaging modules 10 of Figures 1 and 2 further comprise a deflection wheel 8 facing the upper sector of the chain 5 between the operational wheels 1 and 2.
  • the difference between the packaging modules 10 of Figures 1 and 2 lies in the closed trajectory of the chain 5 in Figure 2 having two inflection points 6, because when a specific sector of the chain 5 abandons the first operational wheel 1 it then immediately links with the deflection wheel 8, and when it then abandons said deflection wheel 8 it immediately links with the other operational wheel 2.
  • FIGs 3 to 5 there are two deflection wheels 8, each of them arranged facing a sector of the chain 5 between the two operational wheels 1 and 2.
  • the deflection wheels 8 can have the same size ( Figures 3 and 5 ) or different size ( Figure 4 ) and can be arranged such that the chain 5 immediately links with them when it abandons one operational wheel 1 or 2 in the two sectors of the chain 5 between the two operational wheels 1 and 2 ( Figure 5 ) or in a single sector ( Figure 4 , lower sector).
  • the packaging module 10 has more or less stations, which translates into a determined number of operational wheels 1-4 the size of which depends on the means and time necessary for performing a determined packaging operation.
  • the packaging modules 10 of Figures 6 and 7 comprise three operational wheels 1, 2 and 3, and module 10 of Figure 8 four operational wheels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
  • the operational wheels 1 to 4 are gear wheels the teeth 11 of which are provided with notches 12 in which corresponding pins 51 linking the consecutive links 52 of the chain 5 in an articulated manner mesh or are inserted (see Figure 15 ).
  • This structure is shown in module 10 of Figure 9 and in the details of the chain 5 depicted in Figures 10 to 12 .
  • the deflection wheels 8 are also gear wheels the teeth 81 of which are provided with notches 82 in which corresponding pins 51 linking the consecutive links 52 of the chain 5 in an articulated manner mesh or are inserted (see Figure 9 ).
  • Both the teeth 11 of the operational wheels 1-4 and the teeth 81 of the deflection wheels 8 are interchangeable teeth made of a non-metal material.
  • the interchangeable teeth 11 made of non-metal material are attached to the body of the operational wheels 1-4 by screwing plates 13 (only the holes without the screws are depicted in the drawing).
  • the plates 13 are not depicted in Figure 10 in order to better see the shape of the interchangeable tooth 11.
  • the chain 5 is always centered on the operational wheels 1-4 and on the deflection wheels 8 by means of coupling the pins 51 in the notches 12 and 82, constant maintenance for adjusting it is not necessary, considerable precision in the operations performed on the containers 9 upon their passage through the different operational wheels 1-4 furthermore being ensured.
  • the savings in space it entails is clear, as well as the ability of the flexible containers 9 to move at a continuous and constant speed, preventing the content from being about to come out of the container while the relevant operations are performed in the corresponding operational wheels 1, 2, 3 and 4 until closing the container 9, unlike what occurred in earlier packaging modules due to their intermittent movement.
  • the speed therefore no longer has to be restricted to prevent the ripple effect, and higher speeds can be reached according to the rate determined by the module 20 for making the containers 9, for example four hundred containers 9 per minute in both modules.
  • packaging modules 10 in which one or some of the operational wheels 1, 2, 3 and 4 are arranged outside said trajectory but all the operational wheels 1 to 4 still being linked by the chain 5 and the angle of contact ⁇ of the chain 5 with all of them at all times being greater than 180°, and advantageously greater than 260°, are also contemplated.
