Description

  The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for confirming whether or not a fluid packing is filled in a pouch pack.

  Pouch packs filled with fluid cosmetics such as liquids, gels, or creams, fluid detergents, fluid seasonings, etc. are generally consumed today from the viewpoint of resource saving and low cost. It has also penetrated among people and has become widespread.

  A conventional pouch pack, for example, is formed by overlapping two substantially rectangular films and heat-sealing in a substantially U shape around the three sides excluding the upper side, forming a bag shape, and opening from the upper side opening. The fluid filling is filled and then the opening is sealed by heat sealing. For example, as described in Patent Document 1, such a heat sealing process and a filling process are conventionally performed by a packaging / filling apparatus that performs packaging and filling by heat sealing, that is, packaging. And filling of the packaging material is completed in one apparatus.

  The device of Patent Document 1 includes a pair of side heat seal rollers that are arranged close to each other so as to rotate reversely, and a filling that extends between these side heat seal rollers and extends below them. A nozzle, and a pair of upper and lower heat seal rollers disposed adjacent to each other so as to rotate reversely to each other with a rotating shaft below the tip of the filling nozzle. The packaging and filling by the apparatus of Patent Document 1 are performed by superimposing films unwound from two roll-shaped film materials with a filling nozzle positioned between the two films, and two side heat sealing rollers. The left and right edges of these films are heat-sealed, and the lower part of the film material whose left and right edges are sealed by the upper and lower heat-sealing rollers located below is heat-sealed and the upper part is opened. The semi-finished packaging material in a substantially U-shape is filled with a predetermined amount of fluid filler from a filling nozzle, and then filling is stopped and fluid filler is filled in accordance with the rotation of the upper and lower heat seal rollers. The upper part of the formed film material is heat-sealed by the upper and lower heat seal rollers, so that one package is completed.

  Conventional packaging / filling devices can produce pouch packs continuously, and each pouch pack can be filled with a fluid filler and sealed together with the packaging. It is an indispensable means for producing packs. However, in the conventional packaging / filling process of a pouch pack using this type of packaging / filling device, the so-called empty-filled product in which the pouch pack is not normally filled with a fluid filler and is sealed in an empty state. There is a problem that can be made.

  This empty filling occurs when an operator mistakenly handles an empty filling product as a normal product, or notices that the fluid filling material of the supplier supplying the fluid filling material to the filling nozzle is empty. In addition to mechanical factors such as failure due to human factors such as the absence or malfunction of the supply means for supplying the fluid filler to the filling nozzle and malfunction, fluid fillers with high viscosity There is a fluid filler-like factor in which a gas such as air is mixed into the fluid filler on the supply means, thereby causing empty filling.

In order to detect such an empty filling, conventionally, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, a weight sorting means for detecting and sorting an empty filling product by measuring the weight of the pouch pack is used, or Measure the thickness of the pouch pack using a laser dimension measuring instrument, ultrasonic measuring instrument, etc., or use a product thickness sorting means that detects and sorts an empty filling product, or uses a transmission type sensor The use of a permeation sorting means that directly detects the presence or absence of a fluid packing contained in the inside and detects or sorts an empty packing has been studied.
JP 2006-69641 A JP 2007-8487 A

  However, the weight sorting means cannot detect well in the case of a small and light product, and even an empty filling product may be detected as a normal product without being detected. In the case of a product, it cannot be detected well, and even an empty filling product may be detected as a normal product without being detected.In the case of an opaque pouch pack such as an aluminum pouch, etc. There was a problem that it could not be used.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a confirmation method and a confirmation device for a filling material in a pouch pack that can detect an empty filling product even with a light and opaque pouch pack. It is something to be done.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the means employed in the method for confirming the filling of the pouch pack according to the present invention is the step of filling the pouch pack with the flowable filling and packaging the pouch pack. After filling the pack, the temperature of the outer surface of the pouch pack is measured using a radiation temperature measuring means, and the presence or absence of the filler is determined by the temperature of the outer surface of the pouch pack.

  The temperature measurement site on the outer surface of the pouch pack by the thermal radiation temperature measuring means is the center of the outer surface of the pouch pack.

  The determination of the presence or absence of a filler based on the measured temperature is determined to be that there is a filler when the measured temperature is equal to or lower than a specific set temperature, and filling is performed when the measured temperature is higher than the set temperature by a certain temperature or more. It is characterized by nothing.

  When the measured temperature is higher than the set temperature by 10 ° C. or more, it is determined that there is no filler, and when it is equal to or lower than the set temperature, it is determined that there is a filler.

  In a packaging process in which a plurality of pouch packs are connected, if one pouch pack of the continuous pouch packs is determined to have no filling, one pack before and after each pouch pack determined to have no filling However, it is not cut off from the pouch pack without the filling but is fed out in a bundled state.

  Further, the means adopted in the pouch pack filling confirmation device of the present invention is a radiation temperature measuring means for measuring the temperature of the outer surface of the pouch pack, and a temperature measured by the radiation temperature measuring means is preset. A determination processing unit that compares the set temperature and determines the presence or absence of a filler, and the location of the radiation temperature measuring means is a process position after the heat sealing process position of the pouch pack packaging device, and It is arranged at a process position after the process position of the filling nozzle for filling the pouch pack with the fluid filler.

  Moreover, it is comprised so that the action | operation control of the cutting | disconnection means for cut | disconnecting the pouch pack of a continuous package state may be performed according to the determination result of the presence or absence of a filling.

  In the present invention, as a means for confirming the presence or absence of a fluid filling material for the pouch pack, the temperature of the central portion of the outer surface of the pouch pack is measured by a thermal radiation temperature measuring means after filling and packaging, and is set in advance. In comparison with the upper limit of the normal temperature, if the measured temperature is 10 ° C. or more higher than the set temperature, it is determined that there is no filler, and if it is lower than the set temperature, it is determined that there is a filler. Thus, the determination of empty filling is performed, so that even a light and opaque pouch pack can detect an empty filling product with high accuracy.

  In addition, in accordance with the determination result of the determination processing unit for determining the presence or absence of the filling, it is configured to control the operation of the cutting means for separating the continuous pouch packs, or one package is determined to be an empty filling product In this case, it is possible to judge that it is clearly an empty filling product by removing it as a continuous packaging state without cutting the front and back of each package, and efficiently eliminating the empty filling product.

  The cutting device (40) is disposed below the lateral seal rollers (22a) and (22b), filled with a fluid filler inside, sealed and packaged by the packaging device (20), and continuously packaged. The vertical and horizontal continuous package (3) fed out in step 3 is cut at the center of each of the longitudinal belt-like heat seal portion (4) and the transverse belt-like heat seal portion (5). As shown, it is configured so that it can be separated into individual packages. However, the cutting of the vertical belt-shaped heat seal portion (4) is always performed during operation by the vertical cutting means (not shown), whereas the cutting of the horizontal belt-shaped heat seal portion (5) is Depending on the result of confirmation by the packing confirmation device (10) of the pouch pack (1), whether the cutting is performed by a transverse cutting means (not shown) or not is performed. It is configured to be controlled by a determination processing unit (not shown) of the device (10).

  The filling confirmation device (10) of the pouch pack (1) of this embodiment is a radiation thermometer (11a) (11a) disposed below the horizontal sealing rollers (22a) (22b) of the packaging device (20). 11b) (11c) and a determination processing unit that determines the presence or absence of a filler by comparing the measured temperature measured by these radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c) with a preset set temperature. And a gantry (12) for disposing the radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c). The radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c) may be any object that is configured to measure the surface temperature by capturing the surface temperature of the object by capturing infrared rays or the like emitted from the object. Things can be adopted. The radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c) are arranged so that one radiation thermometer (11a), (11b), and (11c) corresponds to one row of pouch packs (1).

  These radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c) are mounted on the base so that each of the radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c) is positioned below the horizontal seal rollers (22a) and (22b). It is fixed to (12) and arranged in a line in the width direction. The determination processing unit corresponds to the feeding speed of the vertical and horizontal continuous bodies (3) so as to measure the temperature of the center part of the outer surface of each pouch pack (1), and the outer surface of each pouch pack (1). The radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c) are configured to perform operation control so that the temperature is measured in synchronism with the timing at which the central portion becomes the temperature measurement position. In addition, the determination processing unit compares the temperature measured by the radiation thermometer (11a) (11b) (11c) with a preset temperature, and when the measured temperature is higher than the set temperature by 10 ° C or more. The pouch pack (1) is determined as having no filling, and when the measured temperature is equal to or lower than the set temperature, it is determined that there is a filling. The determination processing unit is configured to control the operation of the lateral cutting means of the cutting device (40) to be stopped by a certain amount when it is determined that there is no filler. That is, when it is determined that there is no filling, the pouch pack (1) fed out from the cutting device (40) has several pouch packs (1) in the vertical direction only for the production line determined as having no filling. It becomes a continuous package.

  The filling confirmation device (10) of the pouch pack (1) of the present embodiment is configured as described above, and its confirmation method on the packaging device (20) / filling device / cutting device (40) is as follows. First, the two film materials (2a) and (2b) wound in a roll shape are unwound from above the vertical seal rollers (21a) and (21b) of the packaging apparatus (20) so as to be fed out. Passed between the two vertical sealing rollers (21a) (21b). At this time, the filling nozzles (30a), (30b), and (30c) of the filling device are set so as to be positioned between the film materials (2a) and (2b). Further, the film material (2a) and (2b) fed downward are four strips continuous in the longitudinal direction of the film material (2a) and (2b) at an appropriate interval when passing through the vertical seal rollers (21a) and (21b). The heat seal portions (4), (4), (4) and (4) are formed, and the two film materials (2a) and (2b) are heat sealed in the longitudinal direction.

  Further, the film material (2a) (2b) fed downward is formed with a horizontal heat seal portion (5) by the seal portions (28a) (28b) of the horizontal seal rollers (22a) (22b), The two film materials (2a) and (2b) are heat-sealed in the lateral direction. In this state, the fluid filler is filled from the tip of the filling nozzles (30a), (30b), and (30c) into each semi-wrapped pouch pack (1). The film material (2a) (2b) which is further drawn out while being filled is transferred to the transverse heat seal portion (5) by the other seal portions (28a) (28b) of the transverse seal rollers (22a) (22b). And the upper opening of each pouch pack (1) that has been in a semi-wrapped state is closed to obtain a sealed and wrapped pouch pack (1). However, at this time, each pouch pack (1) is in a bundled state both in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction.

  The vertical / horizontal continuous package (3) is further drawn downward, and each pouch pack (1) is provided by thermal radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c) positioned below the horizontal seal rollers (22a) and (22b). The temperature at the center of the outer surface of the is measured. In this measurement, the determination processing unit controls the measurement timing, and the timing when the central portion of the outer surface of the pouch pack (1) coincides with the temperature measurement region of the radiation thermometer (11a) (11b) (11c). It is comprised so that it may be measured by. The measured temperature is immediately compared with a preset temperature in the determination processing unit of the filling confirmation device (10). Here, the set temperature is determined by the flowable filling material filled in the pouch pack (1), the material and size constituting the pouch pack (1), the feeding speed of the film materials (2a) and (2b), and the like. The temperature is generally set to 36 ° C. to 58 ° C. or less.

  The comparison between the set temperature and the measured temperature is to obtain the temperature difference when the set temperature is subtracted from the measured temperature. If the set temperature is higher than the set temperature by 10 ° C or more, it is determined that there is no filling, and below the set temperature. In some cases, it is determined that there is a filling, and the determination of empty filling is performed. Of course, this temperature difference is determined by the fluid filling material to be filled in the pouch pack (1), the material and size of the pouch pack (1), the feeding speed of the film materials (2a) and (2b), etc. It is.

  While the confirmation result by the filling confirmation device (10) is normal, that is, it is determined that there is a filling, the pouch pack (1) forming the vertical and horizontal continuous package (3) is further processed through the above steps without delay. Sent to the lower cutting device (40). In the cutting device (40), the vertical cutting means for cutting in the vertical direction cuts the center of the vertical heat seal portion (4) of the vertical and horizontal continuous package (3), and the horizontal cutting means The center part of the heat seal part (5) of the horizontal direction of a vertical / horizontal continuous package (3) is cut | disconnected, and each pouch pack (1) is cut off from the vertical / horizontal continuous package (3). This disconnected state is shown in FIG.

  If the empty thermofill 11a is detected by the radiation thermometer 11a located at the left end of the packing confirmation device 10 shown in FIG. 1, the determination processing unit is activated and the cutting device 40 is operated. The horizontal cutting means at the left end of the package is controlled, and the front and rear packages (7) and (8) of the package (6) are emptied in synchronization with the timing when the package (6) of the empty package is fed out. It is configured not to cut from the filling package (6) but to see off the cut. That is, in this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the empty filling package (6) becomes a triple package (9) in which the packages (7) and (8) are connected one above the other, as shown in FIG. ). In this way, by being fed out by the triple package (9), the operator can easily determine the empty package (6), and the tip of the triple package (9) ( 7) and the rear package (8) can be separated, and the empty package (6) at the center can be easily removed. Needless to say, the number of packages can be arbitrarily set.

  As usual, the vertical and horizontal continuous packages (3) other than the rows where empty filling has occurred are cut into vertical and horizontal heat sealing portions (4) and (5) to form individual pouch packs (1). . In addition, when empty filling is detected continuously in two packages on one production line, it is drawn out from the cutting device (40) as a four-packed package in which the upper and lower packages of the two packages are connected. Set to Furthermore, when it is determined that three packages are continuously empty, a warning is issued and the overall operation of the packaging device (20) / filling device / checking device (10) / cutting device (40) is activated. It can also be set to stop.

  As described above, the pouch pack (1) filling confirmation method and confirmation device (10) according to the present invention is the same as the pouch pack (1) packaging device (20) / filling device / cutting device (40). After filling / packaging, the temperature of the outer surface of the pouch pack (1) is measured by the thermal radiation thermometers (11a), (11b), and (11c), and the temperature between the measured temperature and a preset set temperature. It is configured to determine the presence or absence of a filler by comparison of the above, and to control the cutting device (40) based on the determination result, and in various forms without departing from the gist thereof Can do.

  The results of experiments as follows using each of the packaging / filling / confirmation / cutting apparatuses configured as described in the present embodiment will be shown below. The purpose of this experiment is to verify whether the presence or absence of a filler can be detected by measuring the temperature at the center of the outer surface of each pouch pack with a radiation thermometer on the production line of the pouch pack. In addition, the determination result of whether or not filling has an effect on the flowable filling material and the material and size of the pouch pack or the feeding speed of the film material, that is, the production speed of the pouch pack. This is a quantitative verification of whether or not it is received.

In the experiment, lotion, milky lotion, facial cleansing foam, and cream were used as fluid fillers. For the film material, the sealant layer was polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate. The size of the pouch pack was 40 × 40 mm and 50 × 80 mm. The production rate was 30 packets / minute, 50 packets / minute, and 80 packets / minute. Various experiments were set up in this way, and the center part of the outer surface of the pouch pack with filling (hereinafter referred to as a filling product) and the pouch pack without filling (hereinafter referred to as an empty filling product). Was measured with a radiation thermometer, and the temperature difference between the filled product and the empty product was calculated. Table 1 summarizes the results of these experiments.

  As is clear from Table 1, from the results of various test conditions, the temperature of the filled product is 33 to 58 ° C., whereas the empty product is 17 to 40 ° C. higher than those temperatures. It can be seen that it is possible to determine whether the product is filled or empty.

  Such a result, that is, a significant temperature difference as shown in Table 1 as the temperature at the center of the outer surface between the filled product and the empty-filled product is obtained after the pouch pack is filled. When the edge opening is heat-sealed and sealed, if it is filled with a fluid filler, the heat capacity increases and the heat transfer to the center of the outer surface of the pouch pack is weak and slow. On the other hand, in the case of an empty-filled product, the residual heat when the upper edge opening is heat-sealed is transmitted to the center of the outer surface of the pouch pack strongly and quickly because almost no heat capacity material is absorbed. This is probably due to the difference.
