As shown in FIG. 22, a bundle T ′ in units of 10 bundles sent collectively from the bundle accumulation conveyor 92 is transported on the transport belts 241a and 242a while pulling out the film 232 at the leading end in the transport direction. As the ten bundles are transported, the stored film 232 is pulled out by the rollers 234a and 234b.

When the ten bundles are conveyed to a predetermined position of the ten-bundle conveying device 242, the front surface, upper surface, and lower surface of the ten bundles are covered with the film 232 in close contact. However, the left and right side surfaces and the rear surface of the ten bundles are not yet completely covered with the film 232.

After the rear end of the ten bundles has passed the positions of the heat welding bar 243 and the receiving table 244, the driving of the transport belt 242a is stopped.

Next, the motor 248 is driven, and the pinion 249 and the racks 247a and 247b are used to drive the heat welding bar 2.
43 and the cradle 244 start moving in a direction approaching each other.

When the package film L is dropped on the package 01 (step 1), the packaging film L is conveyed by the take-in belt mechanism 301. When the leading end of the packaging film L conveyed by the take-in belt mechanism 301 is detected by the sensor 334, the number of passing packaging films L is counted (step 2).
As shown in FIG. 32, the upper take-up belt mechanism 302 is rotated to the closed position shown by the solid line (from the open position shown by the broken line), and the packaging film L is flattened (step 3).

The flatly crushed packaging film L is fed further downward by the upper and lower feed belt mechanisms 308 and 314 (step 4), and as shown in FIGS. Belt mechanism 31
5, and rounded by the action of the reverse rotation roller 319 (step 5). That is, the vertical feed belt mechanism 308,
When the leading end of the packaging film L sent via the 314 approaches the guide roller 306c and comes into contact with the winding belt 318, the packaging film L is folded in the reverse direction by the action of the winding belt mechanism 315 (FIG. 33). When the leading end of the wrapped packaging film L is sent to near the end of the winding belt mechanism 315, it is further returned by the action of the reverse rotation roller 319. By this series of operations, the packaging film L is wound between the feeding belt 307 and the winding belt 318 and is rolled (FIG. 34).

Then, after the lower feed belt mechanism 308, the winding belt mechanism 315, and the reverse roller 319 are driven for a predetermined time, the lower feed belt mechanism 308, the winding belt mechanism 315, and the reverse roller 319 are stopped. . At this time, it is determined whether the number of packaging films L counted by the sensor 334 is close to a predetermined number (step 6), and as a result, it is determined that the number of packaging films L is not close to the predetermined number. Then, the loading of the next packaging film L is awaited (step 7).

That is, until the size of the film roll R rolled between the feed belt 307 and the winding belt 318 becomes a predetermined size, each of the predetermined number of packaging films L counted by the sensor 334 is used. , The processing from step 1 to step 5 is repeated. At this time, the packaging film L sent later is overlapped and wound on the packaging film L that has been processed and rolled into a roll shape, and the diameter of the film roll R obtained by winding the packaging film L into a roll shape. Gradually increases. As the diameter of the film roll R increases, as shown in FIG. 34, the feed belt 307 of the lower feed belt mechanism 308 is pushed by the film roll R toward the lower heat sealer 321, and tension is applied against the urging force of the spring 310. The roller 306e swings to the left in the figure. Thereby, the film roll R
An increase in the diameter of is allowed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 6 that the number of the packaging films L is close to the predetermined number, that is, that the size (diameter) of the film roll R has approached the predetermined size, Heating of the heat sealers 321 and 324 is started (step 8). Then, on condition that the number of packaging films L reaches a predetermined number (step 9; YE
S), as shown in FIG. 35, the preheated upper heat sealer 324 is moved to the action position close to the preheated lower heat sealer 321 (step 10). In this state (the state of FIG. 35), the heaters 322 and 32 of the upper and lower heat sealers 321 and 324 are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the film roll R.
5 is contacted, and at this contact position, the portion of the film roll R is heated and melted, and the rolled film roll R is overlapped and rounded.
Are welded to form a film mass.

When a predetermined amount of the packaging film L is rolled and melted by heating to form a film lump as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the upper heat sealer 324 is retracted to the retracted position (step 11), and at the same time, the winding belt mechanism 315 is swung about the drive roller 316 and moved to the open position (step 12), and the film block is moved. R ′ is discharged onto the discharge conveyor 320. When the film lump R 'is discharged, the feed belt 307 pressed by the film lump is returned by the restoring force of the spring 310, and the film lump is pushed out by the repulsive force. Further, a discharge conveyor 320 from which the film mass R 'is discharged.
Is set to a size capable of discharging a sufficient amount of film chunks.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, a plurality of packaging films L separated by the film separating mechanism 10 can be stacked and rolled into a lump. For this reason,
The space for temporarily storing the discharged lump until the worker collects it can be reduced, and the restriction on the installation space of the apparatus can be reduced.

Also, since a relatively large number of film blocks can be stored, for example, a day's worth of blocks can be collected on the discharge conveyor 320 and then collected by the worker, thereby reducing the labor of the worker. .

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the number of packaging films L is counted using the passage sensor 334, and 1
Although the amount of the packaging film L to be agglomerated was determined, the displacement of the feed belt 307 of the lower feed belt mechanism 308 was monitored during the process of winding the packaging film L into a roll, and the amount of the wound packaging film L was determined. You can also judge.

FIG. 37 shows, as means for monitoring the displacement of the feed belt 307, a sensor 330 for detecting that the arm 309 having the tension roller 306a around which the feed belt 307 is wound is attached to the tip thereof, has been swung to a predetermined position. Is shown with the embodiment. According to this, the sensor 330 is set to be switched by the arm when a predetermined amount of the packaging film L is wound, and the swing position of the arm 309 can be detected by the sensor 330.
