Description

  The present invention relates to a strip pack manufacturing apparatus.

  Conventionally, in a supermarket or a convenience store, a hanging display that suspends and displays a product has been adopted. A strip pack is known as a form suitable for a hanging display. The strip pack is obtained by attaching a plurality of bags (packages) filled with articles such as snacks to a strip tape (band). As a strip pack manufacturing apparatus, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-313967), a bag manufacturing unit for manufacturing a bag filled with an article, and a bag manufactured by the bag manufacturing unit are stripped. An apparatus has been proposed that can automatically manufacture a strip pack, with a mounting portion attached to the device.

  By the way, in the strip pack, there are a forward-attached strip pack and a reverse-attached strip pack. A forward-attached strip pack is a strip pack manufactured by partially attaching the back surface of a bag to a strip tape. The reversely attached strip pack is a strip pack manufactured by partially attaching the front surface of the bag to the strip tape.

  Conventionally, a strip pack manufacturing apparatus that manufactures reverse-attached strip packs is often employed in consideration of ease of peeling a bag from a strip tape. However, in recent years, depending on the type of articles to be filled in the bag, a forward-attached strip pack may be employed. However, because there are differences in the manufacturing method between the forward-attached strip pack and the reverse-attached strip pack, the conventional strip-pack manufacturing apparatus manufactures both the forward-attached strip pack and the reverse-attached strip pack. It was difficult.

  Since the 1st conveyance part bears the function which reverses the front and back of a bag, and the 2nd conveyance part bears the function which reverses the up-and-down direction of a bag, it can avoid that a structure becomes complicated.

  Moreover, at the time of reverse conveyance, it is preferable that the 1st conveyance part reverses the front and back of a bag, pinching a bag with a belt. Thereby, the front and back of a bag can be reversed, without damaging a to-be-packaged item.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the rearrangement mechanism includes a rotating member for changing the arrangement of the cutting mechanism and the arrangement of the hole forming mechanism. Thereby, it can switch to required structure according to the kind of strip pack to manufacture easily.

  Further, at the time of reverse conveyance, the first conveyance unit has a passage formed by the first portion and the second portion of the continuous belt, and the first portion constitutes the first floor portion of the passage at the entrance of the passage. It is preferable that the first ceiling portion of the passage is constituted by being twisted from the entrance of the passage toward the exit of the passage. Further, the second portion may constitute a second ceiling portion of the passage at the entrance of the passage, be twisted from the entrance of the passage toward the exit of the passage, and constitute a second floor portion of the passage at the exit of the passage. preferable. Thereby, the front and back of a bag can be reversed, without dropping the conveyance speed of a bag.

  Furthermore, you may further provide the control part which interlocks the rearrangement by a rearrangement mechanism, and the reverse conveyance by a 1st conveyance part. This makes it possible to automatically make the changes necessary to manufacture the forward-attached strip pack and the reverse-attached strip pack.

(2-8-1) Heating Mechanism The heating mechanism 71 is a mechanism for thermally welding the bag 90 to the strip tape 92. The heating mechanism 71 mainly includes a heater 71a and a cylinder 71b. The heater 71a is always energized and has a maximum temperature of about 200 ° C. The cylinder 71b moves downward at the timing when the upper portion 90a of the bag overlaps the strip tape 92, and presses the strip tape 92 and the bag 90 against the heater 71a. Thereby, the bag 90 is thermally welded to the strip tape 92.

(2-8-2) Slope The slope 72 is disposed downstream of the heating mechanism 71 in the transport direction of the strip tape 92. The strip 72 is in contact with the strip tape 92 that has passed through the heating mechanism 71. The strip tape 92 is sent downstream along the slope 72 due to the weight of the bag 90.

(2-8-3) Dissolution Prevention Unit The dissolution prevention unit 73 prevents the strip tape 92 from coming into contact with the heater 71a before the strip tape 92 and the bag 90 are thermally welded, and the strip tape 92 is thermally melted. To prevent. The dissolution preventing unit 73 includes a contact member 73a that contacts the back surface of the strip tape 92, and a cylinder 73b that moves the contact member 73a up and down. When the cylinder moves the contact member 73a up and down, the contact member 73a moves the strip tape 92 away from the heater 71a.

(2-9) Discharge conveyor The discharge conveyor 80 is a conveyor which conveys the strip packs 100 and 200 to a downstream apparatus. The discharge conveyor 80 is disposed in the vicinity of one end on the downstream side of the slope 72. When the strip tape 92 with the predetermined number of bags 90 attached thereto by the attaching mechanism 70 is separated from the upstream strip tape 92 by the cutting mechanism 60, the strip tape 92 falls on the discharge conveyor 80 along the slope 72. The discharge conveyor 80 receives the bag 90 dropped from the slope 72 and conveys it to the downstream device.

(2-10) Storage Unit and Control Unit The storage unit 81 stores various types of information necessary for manufacturing the strip packs 100 and 200. The various information includes, for example, the length of the strip tape 92 used in one strip pack 100, the length of the header, the size of the bag 90 to be attached to the strip tape 92 and the quantity of the bags 90, the strip tape 92 and the bag 90. And the timing until the sealing is performed, the pasting temperature, the pasting direction, and the like. The header is a portion located at the top when the strip packs 100 and 200 are displayed, and is a portion where the hole 93 of the strip tape 92 is formed.

(3) Overall operation (3-1) Production operation of reverse-attached strip pack The supply conveyor 11 receives the bag 90 supplied by the host device on the upstream side of the supply conveyor 11. The bag 90 falls from the lower part 90 b of the bag to the supply conveyor 11, and is placed on the supply conveyor 11 with the lower part 90 b of the bag facing downstream in the conveyance direction of the bag 90. That is, the supply conveyor 11 is directed in the direction indicated by the arrow A1 in FIG. 1A with the lower portion 90b of the bag facing downstream in the transport direction of the bag 90 and the upper portion 90a of the bag facing upstream in the transport direction of the bag 90. The bag 90 is conveyed. When the bag 90 is conveyed to one end on the downstream side of the supply conveyor 11, the bag 90 falls from the supply conveyor 11 and is received by the introduction conveyor 21.

  The introduction conveyor 21 receives the bag 90 dropped from the supply conveyor 11 and conveys the bag 90 in the direction opposite to the supply conveyor 11. Specifically, the introduction conveyor 21 conveys the bag 90 in the direction indicated by the arrow A2. In the introduction conveyor 21, the bag 90 is transported with the bag lower portion 90 b facing the upstream side in the transport direction of the bag 90 and the bag upper portion 90 a facing the downstream side in the transport direction of the bag 90. The bag 90 conveyed by the introduction conveyor 21 is received by the drop conveyor 22.

  When the bag 90 is transported to the drop conveyor 22, a sensor (not shown) detects the bag 90 on the drop conveyor 22, and the brush mechanism 30 flattens the portion to be attached to the bag 90. Thereafter, the moving mechanism 40 grips both sides of the part to be attached of the bag 90 and moves it to a desired position of the strip tape 92 (specifically, the strip tape 92 on the heater 71a). At this time, the drop conveyor 22 changes the horizontal posture to the inclined posture.

  On the other hand, the tape feeding unit 52 conveys the strip tape 92 fed from the tape roll 91 downstream. The strip tape 92 conveyed by the tape feeding unit 52 passes through a narrow gap 62a of the rotation mechanism 62 and is sent to the heating mechanism 71. At this time, in the rotation mechanism 62, the hole forming mechanism 61 is positioned upstream in the transport direction of the strip tape 92, and the cutting mechanism 60 is positioned downstream in the transport direction of the strip tape 92 (see FIG. 7).

  The bag 90 moved by the moving mechanism 40 is attached to the strip tape 92 by the heating mechanism 71. Specifically, the portion to be attached on the surface side of the bag 90 is heat-welded to the strip tape 92. When a predetermined number of bags 90 are affixed to the strip tape 92, the cutting mechanism 60 causes the preceding strip tape 92 (the strip tape 92 to which the bag 90 is affixed) to be removed from the subsequent strip tape 92 connected to the tape roll 91. Separate. In addition, the hole forming mechanism 61 forms a hole 93 in the subsequent strip tape 92 connected to the tape roll 91.

  The strip tape 92 (strip pack 200), to which a predetermined number of bags 90 are attached and separated from the strip tape 92 connected to the tape roll 91, slides on the slope 72 and falls onto the discharge conveyor 80. The discharge conveyor 80 conveys the strip pack 200 to the downstream device.

(3-2) Manufacture operation of sequentially attached strip pack First, the middle belt 11b is removed from the supply conveyor 11, and the front / back reversing unit 12 is disposed in the space where the middle belt 11b is disposed (see FIG. 1B). . Further, the rotation mechanism 62 is rotated to exchange the arrangement of the cutting mechanism 60 and the arrangement of the hole forming mechanism 61 (see FIG. 6). Specifically, by rotating the rotating member 62b, the cutting mechanism 60 and the hole forming mechanism so that the cutting mechanism 60 is on the upstream side in the transport direction of the strip tape 92 and the hole forming mechanism 61 is on the downstream side in the transport direction of the strip tape 92. The arrangement of 61 is exchanged.

  Next, the supply conveyor 11 receives the bag 90 supplied by the host device on the upstream side of the supply conveyor 11. The bag 90 falls from the lower part 90 b of the bag to the supply conveyor 11, and is placed on the supply conveyor 11 with the lower part 90 b of the bag facing downstream in the conveyance direction of the bag 90. That is, the supply conveyor 11 is directed in the direction indicated by the arrow A1 in FIG. 1A with the lower portion 90b of the bag facing downstream in the transport direction of the bag 90 and the upper portion 90a of the bag facing upstream in the transport direction of the bag 90. The bag 90 is conveyed. Thereafter, the front / back reversing unit 12 pulls the bag 90 into the passage 17 and passes the passage 17. Here, the front and back of the bag 90 are reversed, and the bag 90 is sent to the downstream side of the supply conveyor 11 with the surface facing upward. Thereafter, when the bag 90 is conveyed to one end on the downstream side of the supply conveyor 11, the bag 90 falls from the supply conveyor 11 and is received by the introduction conveyor 21.

  The introduction conveyor 21 receives the bag 90 dropped from the supply conveyor 11 and conveys the bag 90 in the direction opposite to the supply conveyor 11. Specifically, the introduction conveyor 21 conveys the bag 90 in the direction indicated by the arrow A2. In the introduction conveyor 21, the bag 90 is transported with the bag lower portion 90 b facing the upstream side in the transport direction of the bag 90 and the bag upper portion 90 a facing the downstream side in the transport direction of the bag 90. The bag 90 conveyed by the introduction conveyor 21 is received by the drop conveyor 22.

  When the bag 90 is transported to the drop conveyor 22, a sensor (not shown) detects the bag 90 on the drop conveyor 22, and the brush mechanism 30 flattens the portion to be attached to the bag 90. Thereafter, the moving mechanism 40 grips both sides of the part to be attached of the bag 90 and moves it to a desired position of the strip tape 92 (specifically, the strip tape 92 on the heater 71a). At this time, the drop conveyor 22 changes the horizontal posture to the inclined posture.

  On the other hand, the tape feeding unit 52 conveys the strip tape 92 fed from the tape roll 91 downstream. The strip tape 92 conveyed by the tape feeding unit 52 passes through a narrow gap 62a of the rotation mechanism 62 and is sent to the heating mechanism 71. At this time, inside the rotation mechanism 62, the cutting mechanism 60 is positioned upstream in the transport direction of the strip tape 92, and the hole forming mechanism 61 is positioned downstream in the transport direction of the strip tape 92 (see FIG. 8).

  The bag 90 moved by the moving mechanism 40 is attached to the strip tape 92 by the heating mechanism 71. Specifically, the part to be attached on the back side of the bag 90 is heat-welded to the strip tape 92. When a predetermined number of bags 90 are affixed to the strip tape 92, the hole forming mechanism 61 forms holes 93 in the preceding strip tape 92 (the strip tape 92 to which the bag 90 is affixed). In addition, the cutting mechanism 60 separates the preceding strip tape 92 from the subsequent strip tape 92 connected to the tape roll 91.

  The strip tape 92 (strip pack 100), to which a predetermined number of bags 90 are attached and separated from the strip tape 92 connected to the tape roll 91, slides on the slope 72 and falls onto the discharge conveyor 80. The discharge conveyor 80 conveys the strip pack 100 to the downstream device.

(5) Features (5-1)
The strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500 according to the embodiment includes the front / back reversing unit 12 that reverses the front and back of the bag 90 and the rotation mechanism 62 that exchanges the arrangement of the cutting mechanism 60 and the arrangement of the hole forming mechanism 61. Thus, both the forward-bonded strip pack 100 and the reverse-bonded strip pack 200 can be manufactured using a single strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500.

(5-2)
The strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500 according to the above-described embodiment has a configuration in which the first transport mechanism 10 and the second transport mechanism 20 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the second transport mechanism 20 receives the bag 90 that has dropped from the first transport mechanism 10. It has become. Further, by reversing the conveyance direction A1 of the bag 90 in the first conveyance mechanism 10 and the conveyance direction A2 of the bag 90 in the second conveyance mechanism 20, in the second conveyance mechanism 20, the upper portion 90a of the bag and the bag The direction of the lower part 90b is reversed from the direction of the upper part 90a of the bag and the lower part 90b of the bag in the first transport mechanism 10. Specifically, in the first transport mechanism 10, the upper portion 90 a of the bag faces the upstream side in the transport direction of the bag 90, and the upper portion 90 a of the bag faces the downstream side in the transport direction of the bag 90 in the second transport mechanism 20. Thereafter, in the moving mechanism 40, the gripping member 41 grips the upper portion 90a of the bag and moves it onto the strip tape 92 of the attaching mechanism 70.

  Since the surface of the bag 90 to be attached to the strip tape 92 is different between the case of manufacturing the forward-attached strip pack 100 and the case of manufacturing the reverse-attached strip pack 200, the bag depends on the type of the strip pack 100 to be manufactured. A mechanism for reversing the front and back of 90 is required. Further, when the bag 90 is affixed to the strip tape 92, the upper part 90a of the bag needs to be affixed to the strip tape 92 in consideration of the display state of the strip pack 100. The strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500 according to the above embodiment receives the bag 90 supplied by the host device and transports it downstream, and the bag 90 supplied by the host device drops onto the supply conveyor 11 from the lower part of the bag 90. To do. Therefore, in order to receive the bag 90 dropped on the supply conveyor 11 downstream and attach the upper portion 90a of the bag to the strip tape 92, a mechanism for changing the orientation of the upper and lower ends of the bag 90 with respect to the carrying direction of the bag 90 is necessary. It is.

  In the strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500 according to the above embodiment, the first transport mechanism 10 is responsible for the reverse function of the front and back of the bag 90, and the second transport mechanism 20 is responsible for the reverse function of the upper and lower ends of the bag 90. Thereby, it can avoid becoming a complicated structure.

  Further, in the strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500 according to the above embodiment, the middle belt 11b constituting the supply conveyor 11 is removed, and the upper support unit 13 and the lower support unit 14 are moved horizontally in the space where the middle belt 11b is disposed. As a result, the bag 90 conveyed by the upstream belt 11 a of the supply conveyor 11 is received by the front / back reversing unit 12, and the front / back reversing unit 12 reverses the front / back of the bag 90.

  Thereby, both inversion of the front and back of the bag 90 and inversion of the upper and lower ends of the bag 90 can be performed in a space-saving manner.

(5-3)
Furthermore, in the strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500 according to the above-described embodiment, the front and back reversing unit 12 is formed with the passage 17 that reverses the front and back of the bag 90 by the twisted belt 15. Since the front and back of the bag 90 are reversed while being sandwiched between the belts 15, no impact is given to the articles inside the bag 90. Thereby, damage to an article can be prevented.

(5-4)
Further, in the strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500 according to the above embodiment, the front / back reversing unit 12 is configured by the belt 15, and the front / back reversing unit 12 is arranged in the middle of the supply conveyor 11. Therefore, the front and back of the bag 90 can be reversed without reducing the conveyance speed of the bag 90.

(6) Modification (6-1) Modification A
In the above embodiment, the front / back reversing unit 12 including the belt 15 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is used as a mechanism for reversing the front and back of the bag. However, instead of the configuration shown in FIGS. A front / back reversing unit 120 as shown in FIG. The front / back reversing unit 120 is provided at the downstream end of the first transport mechanism 10. Moreover, the 1st conveyance mechanism 10 and the 2nd conveyance mechanism 20 are shifted in the height direction up and down like the said embodiment, and the 1st conveyance mechanism 10 and the 2nd conveyance mechanism 20 are planes. Suppose that they are arranged in parallel.

  The front / back reversing unit 120 mainly includes a swing member 125, a fourth support member 126, and a sensor (not shown). The swing member 125 has a first end portion rotatably connected to the fourth support member 126 and a second end portion located opposite to the first end portion. The second end moves in the vertical direction about the first end. The swing member 125 is disposed so as to be positioned in the vicinity of the supply conveyor 11. Further, the swing member 125 has a predetermined inclination with respect to the supply conveyor 11 before driving, and is configured such that the second end portion enters the gap between the bag 90 and the supply conveyor 11. The sensor detects contact of the bag 90 with the swing member 125.

  When the sensor detects that the bag 90 has come into contact with the swing member 125, the swing member 125 rotates to move the second end portion upward. Thereby, the bag 90 is reversed in the width direction and falls from the supply conveyor 11 to the introduction conveyor 21. Also by doing in this way, the front and back of the bag 90 can be reversed.

(6-2) Modification B
In the strip pack manufacturing apparatus 500 according to the embodiment, the control unit 82 may perform the rotation of the rotation mechanism 62 and the horizontal movement of the front / back reversing unit 12 in the direction of the supply conveyor 11 in conjunction with each other. Specifically, first, the adjustment unit 161 of the front / back reversing unit 12 is configured to be automatically controlled. Further, the control unit 82 rotates the rotating member 62b according to the type of the strip pack to be manufactured to change the arrangement of the cutting mechanism 60 and the hole forming mechanism 61, and further adjusts the adjusting unit 161 to adjust the upper support unit 13. The lower support unit 14 is moved horizontally in the direction of the supply conveyor 11. As a result, it is possible to automatically make changes necessary for manufacturing the forward-attached strip pack 100 and the reverse-attached strip pack 200.

(6-3) Modification C
In the above embodiment, the front / back reversing unit 12 can be moved horizontally (see FIG. 1B), and the front / back reversing unit 12 can be moved to the space R11b from which the midstream belt 11b is removed to produce a forward-bonded strip pack. I did it. In other words, the middle belt 11b is used when manufacturing the reversely attached strip pack, and the front / back reversing unit 12 is used when manufacturing the sequentially attached strip pack.

  Instead of the above configuration, the front / back reversing unit 12 may be moved up and down without installing the midstream belt 11b. Specifically, when manufacturing a reverse-attached strip pack, the upper surface of the upper support unit 13 of the front / back reversing unit 12 is used as the conveyance surface of the bag 90 (see FIG. 10B). More specifically, the upper surface of the upper support unit 13 is disposed at a horizontal position on the transport surface of the upstream belt 11a. Further, when manufacturing a forward-attached strip pack, the front / back reversing unit 12 raises the upper support unit 13 and the lower support unit 14 and passes the bag 90 through the passage 17 (see FIG. 3). As a result, the front / back reversing unit 12 can be used when manufacturing either a reverse-attached strip pack or a sequential-attached strip pack.

(6-4) Modification D
In the above-described embodiment, the front / back reversing unit 12 has been described as an example used in place of the midstream belt 11 b, but the front / back reversing unit 12 may be installed on the upstream side of the first transport mechanism 10. In this case, the adjustment unit 161 adjusts the inclination in the longitudinal direction of the upper support unit 13 and the lower support unit 14 (see FIG. 10C). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10D, the longitudinal end slopes of the upper support unit 13 and the lower support unit 14 are adjusted so that the downstream end of the front / back reversing unit 12 is the upstream end of the supply conveyor 11. And the upstream end of the front / back reversing unit 12 is connected to the host device 88. Accordingly, the bag 90 supplied from the host device 88 can be reliably received regardless of the position (height) at which the host device 88 supplies the bag 90.
