Description

  The present invention relates to a rotary automatic packaging machine for manufacturing a package formed by dividing a long resin film (packaging film) into a number of bag portions and filling each bag portion with contents.

Rotary as one of the automatic packaging machines that uses long resin films (packaging films) to divide and package contents such as powders, tablets, and liquids that are metered into a large number of packages. A type automatic packaging machine is known.
As described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, this rotary automatic packaging machine draws the resin film in a predetermined direction from a film coil in which a resin film or the like is wound around a core material, and a film guide In the part, the resin film is introduced into the turntable while the resin film is folded in half in a direction substantially orthogonal to the film traveling direction to form a part that becomes the bottom of the bag part.
A large number of sealing bars (side seal mechanisms) arranged around the turntable sandwich the introduced resin film and form width seals (side seals: heat seals) at regular intervals. As a result, a plurality of bag portions are formed on the resin film folded in two at a predetermined interval in the film traveling direction.

A chute for filling the contents is inserted into each of the plurality of bag portions and filled with a predetermined amount of the contents. Thereafter, the chute is removed from the bag portion, and the sealing bar holding the resin film is removed.
The resin film (bag film) in which the contents are filled in the respective bag portions in this manner is then transferred to a top seal mechanism including a preheating seal bar and a top seal roller through a guide. The top seal mechanism seals the upper edge of the bag film filled with the contents by heat sealing (top sealing). Further, after sealing, a notch is made in the top seal portion by a notch cutter.
Thereafter, the width seal portion between the bag portions is perforated or cut by a cutter mechanism, so that the resin film has a required packaging form.

Here, in the conventional rotary automatic packaging machine as described above, in order to change to a different type of content or to change the content quantitatively (filling amount change), change to a packaging film having a different size. There is a case. In such a case, since the height position of the top seal is changed, there is a demand to perform the position adjustment work of the top seal mechanism and the notch mechanism easily and quickly with high accuracy in accordance with the change in the height position. is there.
In order to meet such a demand, the applicant of the present invention disclosed in Patent Document 3 a rotary type automatic packaging machine that can adjust the position of each mechanism related to the top seal and the notch cutter quickly and with high accuracy by a simple operation. Proposed.
JP 2001-199402 A JP 2001-122208 A JP 2005-47556 A

  Here, the rotary automatic packaging machine described in Patent Document 3 greatly contributes to improving the adjustment efficiency of each mechanism related to the top seal and the notch cutter. We want to maintain high product quality by controlling the hygiene requirements for the product, or suppressing the fear that the contents, for example, powdered material will fly and adhere to the transport path of the packaging film and adhere to the outside of the packaging film. There is an increasing demand for easy, quick and reliable cleaning of the top seal mechanism of a rotary automatic packaging machine and the transport path of the packaging film to the top seal mechanism.

However, the vicinity where the top seal mechanism is disposed is located on the back side of the transport path of the resin film drawn out from the film coil when viewed from the operator side, so there are many obstacles and it is difficult to perform the cleaning work. There is a real situation.
In addition, a guide rail that supports the vicinity of the lower portion of the packaging film and guides the packaging film to the downstream side of the processing process is disposed near the top seal mechanism. Since it has a letter shape and is elongated, cleaning of the inner surface of the guide rail is more troublesome.

Furthermore, since the guide rail is supported by a plurality of support members standing near the top seal mechanism, the plurality of support members become an obstacle to the cleaning work and reduce the work efficiency. It was.
The guide rail is finely adjusted in height according to the width of the packaging film, and hence the height position of the portion where the top seal is applied. The height position is finely adjusted according to changes in the dimensions of the. For this reason, if the guide rail is removed every time a cleaning operation is performed relatively frequently, readjustment is necessary, and the work efficiency may be prolonged, and the stop time may be prolonged, which may greatly reduce the production efficiency.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-21795 describes a guide rail that can be easily adjusted in height, but the improvement of the efficiency of cleaning work is not taken into consideration. The fact is that the configuration is complicated and there is a risk that the efficiency of the cleaning work may be reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation, and can improve the efficiency of cleaning work with a simple and inexpensive configuration, thereby promoting the improvement of hygiene and product quality. Another object of the present invention is to provide a rotary automatic packaging device that can improve the production efficiency.

For this reason, the rotary automatic packaging machine according to the present invention is
A side seal mechanism that forms a side seal by thermocompression bonding in the width direction with respect to the packaging film that is folded in half while being transferred, and a filling chute mechanism that puts contents into a plurality of bag portions between the side seals; A number of packages are continuously produced by interlocking the turntable that rotates the side seal mechanism and the filling chute mechanism and the top seal mechanism that forms a top seal by thermocompression bonding of the upper part of the bag after filling. A rotary automatic packaging machine,
A guide member that guides to the downstream side in the transfer direction while supporting the lower portion of the bag after filling;
At least one support member that supports the guide member so that the height position of the guide portion of the guide member can be adjusted;
A base member to which the at least one support member is integrally attached;
A positioning element for positioning the base member with respect to the rotary automatic packaging machine body;
A fixing element for removably fixing the base member to the rotary automatic packaging machine body;
Comprising
The guide rail, the support member, and the base member are configured to be detachable integrally with the rotary automatic packaging machine body.

In the present invention, the top seal mechanism includes a preheat seal bar that heats the upper edge, and a top seal roller that pressurizes the upper edge heated by the preheat seal bar to form a top seal. ,
The guide member guides to the downstream side in the transfer direction while supporting the lower part of the bag after filling when the top seal is formed by the top seal mechanism, or after filling after the top seal is formed by the top seal mechanism. It may be characterized in that it is at least one of guide members that guide the downstream side in the transport direction while supporting the lower portion of the bag.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the cleaning work while having a simple and inexpensive configuration, thereby promoting the improvement of hygiene and product quality and improving the production efficiency. It is possible to provide a rotary automatic packaging device that can be used.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

  The overall configuration of the rotary automatic packaging machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a part of a rotary automatic packaging machine according to the present invention in a sectional view. FIG. 2 is a schematic top view showing the main part of the rotary automatic packaging machine according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a front view showing extracted portions related to the first guide rail portion and the second guide rail portion used in the rotary automatic packaging machine according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a plan view of FIG. FIG. 5A is a plan view of the first guide rail portion according to the embodiment described above, and FIG. 5B is a front view of FIG. 5A. FIG. 6A is a plan view of the second guide rail portion according to the embodiment described above, and FIG. 6B is a front view of FIG. 6A.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a rotary automatic packaging machine (hereinafter abbreviated as “automatic packaging machine”) 1 according to the present invention includes a rewind reel 2, a film guide 3, a turntable 4, a side seal mechanism 5, and contents filling. The mechanism 6 includes a guide chute 7, a guide roll 8, a top seal mechanism 9, a position adjustment mechanism 10, a notch mechanism 11, and a cutter mechanism 12.

  In addition, the film coil 130 is obtained by winding a wrapping film 131 in a coil shape around the same axis. The packaging film 131 is made of a transparent or translucent material, for example, a base film such as PET, or a heat seal film such as polyethylene having a melting point lower than that of the base film. The packaging film 131 may have a three-layer structure of a base film, an intermediate film, and a heat seal film.

When the packaging body 133 is manufactured using such an automatic packaging machine 1, the detailed position of the top seal mechanism 9 is adjusted by the position adjustment mechanism 10 provided in the top seal mechanism 9 as a preparation. The That is, the top seal mechanism 9 is configured such that the position in the height direction with respect to the main body of the automatic packaging machine 1 (the height direction position where the top seal of the packaging film 131 is applied) can be freely adjusted via the position adjustment mechanism 10. The heights of the preheating seal bar 91 and the top seal roller 92 of the top seal mechanism 9 are adjusted in detail according to the width of the film 131 (the height position at which the top seal is to be applied).
After the detailed position adjustment of the top seal mechanism 9 is performed, the package 133 is manufactured using the actual packaging film 131 as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the packaging film 131 is pulled out from the film coil 130 while being back tensioned by the coil rewinding reel 2. The drawn packaging film 131 continuously flows in the upward direction in the drawing, and is folded into two in a U shape at the center by the film guide 3. The folded packaging film 131 is introduced into the turntable 4 from the tangential direction of the turntable 4 as shown in FIG.

  On the turntable 4, the side seal mechanism 5 that forms the side seal 134 is disposed apart by a certain distance. When the packaging film 131 is positioned at a predetermined position, the side seal mechanism 5 performs heat sealing in the width direction of the packaging film 131 to locally melt the heat sealing film. As a result, the heat-sealed films melted in the two-fold packaging film 131 are pressure-bonded to form a side seal 134. In this way, a plurality of bag portions 132 sandwiched between the side seals 134 are formed on the folded packaging film 131.

The content filling mechanism 6 horizontally rotates a rotating container (not shown) so that the opening / closing plate is positioned on the guide chute 7. The content filling mechanism 6 rotates an opening / closing plate (not shown) below the bottom of the rotating container when the rotating container is disposed at a predetermined location. As a result, the lower end surface of the basket (not shown) in the rotating container is opened, and the contents 140 in the basket drop onto the guide chute 7. Since the guide chute 7 is disposed on the bag portion 132, the contents 140 are filled into the bag portion 132 through the guide chute 7.
As shown in FIG. 2, the bag portion 132 filled with the contents 140 rotates counterclockwise in the figure by the rotation operation of the turntable 4, and the transfer direction is changed by the guide roll 8 to the top seal mechanism 9. And linearly transferred.

Below the preheat seal bar 91 of the top seal mechanism 9, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower part of the packaging film 131 filled with the contents 140 in the bag portion 132 is accommodated and supported and guided to the top seal roller 92. One guide rail portion 150 is provided.
In addition, the detail of the 1st guide rail part 150 which concerns on this Embodiment is mentioned later.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the top seal mechanism 9 heats the upper edge portion of the packaging film 131 by the preheating seal bar 91, the heat seal film at the upper edge portion of the packaging film 131 is warmed. In this state, the top seal roller 92 pressurizes while heating the edge thereof, whereby the heat-sealed films of the folded packaging film 131 are pressure-bonded to form a top seal 135. Thereby, the bag part 132 is sealed.
Thereafter, the bag portion 132 is fed to the notch mechanism 11 while being guided by the second guide rail portion 160 that accommodates and supports the lower portion of the packaging film 131 and guides it to the notch mechanism 11 by the extrusion of the top seal roller 92 (FIG. 3, see FIG.
Details of the second guide rail portion 160 according to the present embodiment will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the packaging film 131 sent to the notch mechanism 11 is sandwiched between the notch guides 110 of the notch mechanism 11, and in this sandwiched state, the top seal 135 is partially lifted by the notch cutter 111. Disconnected. Thereby, a notch is made in the packaging film 131. The cutter mechanism 12 cuts the side seal 134 or perforates the side seal 134, whereby the plurality of bag parts 132 are packaged into a package 133 that wraps the contents 140. 1 completes the packaging process. The notch mechanism 11 is configured to be capable of freely adjusting the height direction position with respect to the main body of the automatic packaging machine 1 (the height direction position where the top seal of the packaging film 131 is applied) via the position adjustment mechanism 10. it can.

Here, the first guide rail portion 150 according to the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the first guide rail portion 150 has a U-shaped cross section for receiving and supporting the lower portion of the packaging film 131 in which the bag portion 132 is filled with the contents 140. A guide rail 151 having a groove, an L-shaped angle member 152 that supports the guide rail 151 with one piece thereof, and a support that is erected from a plate member 154 and that supports the other piece of the angle member 152 so that its height can be adjusted. A member 153 and a plate member 154 are included, and are configured so as to be able to handle them integrally. Note that a blank checker (empty bag detection mechanism) 190 for checking whether or not the bag part 132 is normally filled with the contents 140 can be provided on the guide rail 151.

For adjusting the height of the guide portion of the guide rail 151, for example, the angle member 152 that supports the guide rail 151 is set in a desired shape via a fastening element 152 A such as a bolt and a nut in an opening groove 153 A provided in the support member 153. It is carried out by fastening and fixing at the height position (see FIG. 3), whereby the support position (height position) of the packaging film 131 guided by the guide rail 151 can be adjusted.
Moreover, the 2nd guide rail part 160 which concerns on this Embodiment was filled with the content 140 in the bag part 132 like the 1st guide rail part 150, as shown in FIG.3, FIG.4, FIG.6. A guide rail 161 having a U-shaped groove for receiving and supporting the lower portion of the packaging film 131, an L-shaped angle member 162 for supporting the guide rail 161 with one piece thereof, and a plate member 164. The angle member 162 includes a support member 163 that supports the other piece of the angle member 162 so that the height of the angle member 162 can be adjusted, and a plate member 164. The plate member 164 can be integrally handled.

  Similar to the first guide rail portion 150, the height of the guide portion of the guide rail 161 is adjusted by, for example, connecting the angle member 162 that supports the guide rail 161 to the opening groove 163A provided in the support member 163 such as a bolt and a nut. This is performed by fastening and fixing to a desired height position (see FIG. 3) via the fastening element 162A and the like, thereby adjusting the support position (height position) of the packaging film 131 guided by the guide rail 161. Be able to.

  By the way, conventionally, the lower ends of the plurality of support members 153 and 163 are directly fastened and fixed by fastening elements such as bolts and nuts directly to the defining plate 170 attached to the main body frame or the like of the automatic packaging machine 1. . Therefore, when the contents 140 are flying, etc., and the guide rails 151 and 161, the angle members 152 and 162, the support members 153 and 163, the defining plates 170 and 175, etc. are dirty, In addition, it is necessary to remove the lower ends of the plurality of support members 153 and 163, which are firmly screwed, from the defining plates 170 and 175 using a tool or the like, respectively. there were.

In particular, the first guide rail portion 150 and the second guide rail portion 160 are disposed on the back side of the conveyance path of the packaging film 131 wound around the film coil 130 when viewed from the operator, and are dustproof and soundproof. From the viewpoint of safety and the like, these are generally surrounded by, for example, a heat seal processing booth or the like, and for this reason, for example, they are accessed from an openable / closable acrylic door provided in the heat seal processing booth. As a result, it is necessary to carry out the cleaning work. Therefore, the work space is not sufficiently secured during the cleaning work.
In addition, there is a possibility that the height positions of the guide rails 151 and 161 that have been adjusted at the folding angle during the removal work or the restoration work may be shifted, and thus complicated height position adjustment must be performed again after the restoration. There is a fear.

Although it is assumed that the guide rails 151 and 161 are removed from the support members 153 and 163 without removing the support members 153 and 163 from the defining plates 170 and 175, the attaching / detaching operation is more complicated and the same as described above. In addition, there is a possibility that the height of the guide rails 151 and 161 that have been adjusted at the folding angle during the removal work and the restoration work may be shifted, and the support members 153 and 163 are obstructed, and the cleaning work is complicated. There is a fear that it will be.
By the way, the preheating seal bar 91 and the top seal roller 92 of the top seal mechanism 9 are relatively hot, and if the support members 153 and 163 remain, they may come into contact with each other. The cleaning operation must be performed after waiting for cooling to a workable level, and the preheating seal bar 91 and the top seal roller 92 of the top seal mechanism 9 must be heated to a predetermined temperature after cleaning. There is a possibility that the time for stopping the automatic packaging machine 1 for work becomes longer and the production efficiency is lowered.

In consideration of such various circumstances, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5 (A) and (B), and 6 (A) and (B), they are integrated. The first guide rail portion 150 and the integrated second guide rail portion 160 are employed.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B and FIGS. 6A and 6B, the support members 153 and 163 that support the guide rails 151 and 161 via the angle members 152 and 162 are attached to the plate. The members 154 and 164 are configured to be supported, and the plate members 154 and 164 are configured to be detachable from the defining plates 170 and 175, so that the guide rail 151 (161) and the angle member 152 ( 162), the support member 153 (163), and the plate member 154 (164) are integrally configured to be detachable from the main body of the automatic packaging machine 1 by extending the defining plate 170 (175).
Here, the guide rails 151 and 161 correspond to the guide member according to the present invention, the angle members 152 and 162, the support members 153 and 154 constitute the support member according to the present invention, and the plate members 154 and 164 according to the present invention. It corresponds to such a base member.

Specifically, for example, the guide rail support members 153 and 163 that support the guide rails 151 and 161 via the angle members 152 and 162 are fixed to the plate members 154 and 164 by fastening or welding.
Then, positioning pins 154A and 164A are projected from the back side of the plate members 154 and 164, and positioning holes 171 and 176 are formed in the defining plates 170 and 175 corresponding to the positioning pins 154A and 164A, respectively. 164A and the positioning holes 171 and 176 are fitted, so that the plate members 154 and 164 can be accurately positioned with respect to the defining plates 170 and 175.

The positioning pins 154A and 164A and the positioning holes 171 and 176 correspond to the positioning element according to the present invention, but are not limited thereto, and the plate members 154 and 164, the defining plates 170 and 175, Any other positioning element can be adopted as long as it can be positioned.
In addition, the defining plates 170 and 175 are provided with threaded through holes 172 and 177 that are threaded, and the plate members 154 and 164 have through holes 154B and 164B corresponding to the threaded through holes 172 and 177, respectively. 3 and 4, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, for example, fixing screws 155 and 165 (for example, butterfly screws or the like) can be screwed into the threaded through holes 172 and 177 and fastened. Thus, the plate members 154 and 164 can be easily and quickly attached to the defining plates 170 and 175 manually without using a tool or the like. By removing the fixing screws 155 and 165, the plate members 154 and 164 can be easily and quickly detached from the defining plates 170 and 175 manually without using a tool or the like.

  Here, the fixing screws 155 and 165, the threaded through holes 172 and 177 correspond to the fixing element according to the present invention, but are not limited thereto, and the plate members 154 and 164 are connected to the defining plate 170, Any other fixing element can be adopted as long as it can be easily and quickly removed from 175 (for example, one-touch type). For example, as one example of a one-touch type fixing element, there is a “quick release ball lock pin” of Abibank.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the first guide rail portion 150 and the second guide rail portion 160 can be easily and quickly attached to and detached from the defining plate 170 (175). In addition, the efficiency of the cleaning work of the first guide rail part 150 and the second guide rail part 160 can be increased, and these may become an obstacle during the cleaning work in the heat seal processing booth 180 and reduce the work efficiency. Since this can be suppressed, the cleaning work in the heat seal processing booth 180 including the defining plates 170 and 175 can be efficiently and reliably performed in a short time without wiping remaining.
Further, according to the present embodiment, the cleaning operation can be performed in a state where there is almost no obstacle to the cleaning operation on the defining plates 170 and 175, and therefore, the preheating seal bar 91 of the relatively high temperature top seal mechanism 9 is used. And the top seal roller 92 can be prevented from coming into contact with the arm of the worker, and therefore, the cleaning operation must be performed after the cooling until the cooling operation is possible. The temperature of the pre-sealing seal bar 91 and the top seal roller 92 of the top seal mechanism 9 must be raised to a predetermined temperature, and the time for stopping the automatic packaging machine 1 for cleaning work becomes longer, and the production efficiency is reduced. The fear can be suppressed.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the guide rail 151, the angle member 152, the support member 153, and the plate member 154 can be easily and quickly attached to and detached from the defining plate 170. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the height positions of the guide rails 151 and 161 are shifted during the removal work or the restoration work (the work for reattaching after the work), and thus the complicated guide rail 151 again after the restoration. , 161 can be prevented from adjusting the height position.
In addition, since the guide rail 151, the angle member 152, the support member 153, and the plate member 154 can be integrally removed from the defining plate 170 and a cleaning operation can be performed, a sufficient work space is ensured. Since these can be cleaned in a new place, it is easy to achieve a careful cleaning operation. Moreover, since these are removed as a unit, it is possible to perform soaking and washing while suppressing the fear of the adjusted height position being shifted, and the efficiency of the cleaning work can be significantly improved.

Further, when performing fine adjustment of the position of the guide rails 151 and 161 with respect to the opening grooves 153A and 163A provided in the support members 153 and 163 (fine adjustment of the height position of the guide rails 151 and 161), a trial operation is performed. After measuring or marking the desired height position, the first guide rail portion 150 and the second guide rail portion 160 are integrally removed from the defining plate 170 and moved to a place where sufficient work space is secured. Thus, the height positions of the guide rails 151 and 161 can be finely adjusted, which can contribute to the improvement of the work efficiency of the fine adjustment.
In addition, the blank checker 190 can be maintained in a place where sufficient work space is secured while suppressing the possibility that the height of the adjusted guide rails 151 and 161 is shifted. The machine 1 can be a more user-friendly device.

By the way, the 1st guide rail part 150 and the 2nd guide rail part 160 which concern on this Embodiment improve the efficiency etc. of the cleaning operation | work as mentioned above, and the fine adjustment operation | work of the height position of the guide rails 151 and 161. In addition, since the guide rail 151, the angle member 152, the support member 153, and the plate member 154 can be integrally detached from the defining plate 170 by a simple operation, for example, JP-A-2006 It is difficult to assume that it is used in combination with a mechanism that automatically adjusts the height of the guide rail related to the top seal portion, such as -21795.
That is, the first guide rail portion 150 and the second guide rail portion 160 according to the present embodiment are employed in an automatic packaging machine that does not include a mechanism that automatically adjusts the height of the guide rail according to the top seal portion. However, for example, the position of the top seal mechanism 9 or the notch mechanism 11 as proposed by the applicant of the present application in Patent Document 3 can be quickly and accurately adjusted by a simple operation via the position adjustment mechanism 10. Like the rotary type automatic packaging machine, the position adjustment mechanism 10 adjusts the position in the height direction for top sealing of the packaging film 131 by a simple operation with high accuracy. The height position adjustment of the first guide rail part 150 and the second guide rail part 160 that support the lower side is a device that does not need to be adjusted frequently once adjusted. It is advantageous in the case of adopting together look.

  Of course, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
