The lever 374g is a member that rotates about the turning center C2, and is supported by the turning shaft 96 so as to be relatively rotatable.

  Each of the sealing jaws 371 and 372 is a member formed so as to extend longer than the dimension of the tubular film F in the vertical direction of FIG. 7, and has heaters 324A and 324B (see FIG. 12) inside. The heaters 324A and 324B heat the sealing surfaces of the sealing jaws 371 and 372, and a part of the tubular film F sandwiched between the left and right sealing jaws 371 and 372 is heat-sealed.

  The Schmitt couplings 375 and 376 are composed of three disks connected by links, and are shaft couplings that transmit the rotation of the input shaft to the output shaft. These Schmitt couplings 375 and 376 can rotate the input shaft even when the output shaft moves in a plane with respect to the input shaft fixed in a plane and the axial distance between the two changes. Can be communicated to.

That is, not the target weight setting data itself but the following weight checker reference value data, weight checker upper limit value data, and weight checker lower limit value data are transmitted to the weight checker control unit 51. The bag length setting data is basically transmitted as it is to the packaging control unit 31, the seal checker control unit 41, and the weight checker control unit 51, and is stored in the respective RAMs 213, 413, 513 and EEPROM. However, since the seal checker 4 and the weight checker 5 do not have a unit conversion function when the bag length setting data is input in inches, the bag checker control unit 41 receives the unit conversion processing after the unit conversion processing. And transmitted to the weight checker control unit 51. A specific unit conversion process is shown in Equation (4). Seal time setting data, ironing length setting data, bag width setting data, ironing interval setting data, seal pressure setting data, horizontal seal temperature setting data, vertical seal temperature setting data, registration mark detection selection data, registration mark delay distance setting data, The printer selection data and the printer delay distance setting data are transmitted to the packaging control unit 31 as they are and stored in the RAM 313 and the EEPROM. The maximum bag thickness setting data, the minimum bag thickness setting data, the air leak determination value setting data, and the standby height setting data are transmitted to the seal checker control unit 41 as they are and stored in the RAM 413 and the EEPROM. The tare setting data is transmitted to the weight checker control unit 51 as it is, and stored in the RAM 513 and the EEPROM. The inspection apparatus delay time setting data is transmitted to the seal checker control unit 41 as it is, and after being processed, is transmitted to the weight checker control unit 51 and stored in the RAMs 413 and 513 and the EEPROM. Note that the processing here refers to the arithmetic processing shown in Equation (5). That is, not the inspection device delay time setting data itself but the following weight checker inspection device delay time setting data is transmitted to the weight checker control unit 51. The upper limit data is transmitted as it is to the weighing control unit 21 and stored in the RAM 213 and the EEPROM.

(Target weight setting data) + (Tare data) = (Weight checker reference value) Expression (1)
(Weight checker reference value) × 0.05 = (weight checker upper limit value) Expression (2)
(Weight checker reference value) x−0.05 = (Weight checker lower limit value) Expression (3)
(Bag length setting data (inch)) × 25.4 (mm / inch) = (bag length setting data (mm)) Equation (4)
(Inspection device delay time setting data) +2 (sec) = (Weight checker inspection device delay time setting data) Equation (5)

(4) Normal operation In the normal operation of the commodity processing system 1, first, the objects to be weighed are conveyed to the pool hopper 24 by the supply conveyor 9, the dispersion feeder 22, and the radiation feeder 23. When any of the weighing hoppers 25 provided directly under each pool hopper 24 is empty, the weighing control unit 28 sends a signal for opening the gate 24a of the pool hopper 24 in the same head as the empty weighing hopper 25. Then, the objects to be weighed held in the pool hopper 24 are supplied to the weighing hopper 25.

An object to be weighed held in each weighing hopper 25 is weighed by a load cell 28 provided in each weighing hopper 25. The weighing signal output from each load cell 28 is sent to the weighing control unit 21. Then, the weighing signal value of the load cell 28 is stored in the RAM 213 as the weight of the object to be weighed held in the weighing hopper 25.
The weighing control unit 21 performs a combination calculation according to a combination calculation program stored in the RAM 213 so that a predetermined weight value is obtained based on the weight value of the object to be weighed held in each weighing hopper 25. As a result of the combination calculation, the weighing control unit 21 selects a plurality of weighing hoppers 25. Accordingly, the weighing control unit 21 sends a signal for opening the gate 25a of the selected weighing hopper 25, and discharges the objects to be weighed held by the weighing hopper 25 to the collective discharge chute 26.

  On the other hand, in the bag making and packaging apparatus 3, the sheet-like film F sent from the film supply unit 33 to the forming mechanism 321 is wound around the tube 321A from the former 321B and formed into a cylindrical shape. It is conveyed to. The film F is in a state where both ends are overlapped on the peripheral surface in a state where the film F is wound around the tube 321 </ b> A, and the overlapped portion is vertically sealed by the vertical seal mechanism 323.

  The cylindrical film F that has been sealed vertically and has a cylindrical shape passes through the tube 321 </ b> A and descends to the horizontal sealing mechanism 324. At this time, simultaneously with the movement of the tubular film F, the objects to be weighed discharged from the combination weighing device 2 fall through the tube 321A. And in the horizontal sealing mechanism 324, in the state where the object to be weighed is present in the tubular film F, the upper end of the bag and the lower end portion of the upper bag of the bag where the contents are present are heat-sealed horizontally, The packaged product B is generated.

Thereafter, the packaged product B falls from the horizontal seal mechanism 324 to the chute conveyor 35 via the rotating brush mechanism 33. Then, it is transported to the downstream side in the transport direction by the chute conveyor 35 and sent to the seal checker 4 through the transport conveyor 36.
In the seal checker 4, when the packaged product B enters, the presser 42 is lifted slightly upward. Thereafter, the packaged product B is pressed by the weight of the presser 42. At this time, the seal checker control unit 41 determines whether or not the sealed state of the bag of the packaged product B is normal by comparing the rotation angle data of the link 44 at this time with the reference rotation angle. The packaged product B determined to have a seal abnormality is discharged out of the system by the sorting lever of the weight checker 5.

  In the weight checker 5, the packaged product B that has passed through the seal checker 4 is taken into the machine by the take-in conveyor 52. Thereafter, the packaged product B is delivered to the weighing conveyor where it is weighed by the load cell 58. At this time, the weight checker control unit 51 determines whether or not the weight of the packaged product B is normal by checking whether or not the weighing data is within the allowable value. The packaged product B determined to be abnormal in weight is discharged out of the system by the sorting lever.
