Description

  In the present invention, a packaging material is fed out from two rolls of rolls wound with a front packaging material and a back packaging material, which are printed separately so that the design has the same pitch, and the design is matched to superimpose the heat in the vertical direction. The present invention relates to a bag making machine that performs sealing and lateral heat sealing, and further performs heat sealing by matching the design of the bottom gusset to the design of the front packaging material and the back packaging material, and cuts the bag.

  Conventionally, to make a bag by matching the front design of the front and back packaging materials with the back design of the back packaging material, gravure printing is performed with the front and back designs aligned in the width direction on a base film twice the bag width. Set the original fabric roll wrapped with the packaging material laminated with the sealant film, feed out the packaging material, hang it on a triangular plate former, halve and overlap, or depending on the bag form, halve and sandwich the gusset film and zipper film And then heat seal in the vertical direction, then heat seal in the horizontal direction, and cut according to the heat seal in the horizontal direction to make a bag. As a result, bags can be made with the front and back symbols matched.

  However, in this technique, the length of the printing roll of the gravure rotary printing press is 1200 mm at the maximum and the maximum printing width is 1200 mm. Therefore, a bag having a width of less than 600 mm can be made, and the width is 600 mm or more. A bag cannot be made. Further, a bag having the same configuration of the front wrapping material and the back wrapping material can be made, and a bag having a configuration in which the front wrapping material and the back wrapping material are different cannot be made.

  Therefore, it has been desired to provide a bag making machine that can form a bag with a front wrapping material and a back wrapping material that have been fed from two original fabrics with the same pattern. The problem here is that the packaging material is produced by printing on a base film and further laminating a sealant film, and heat and tension can be applied during this production process, so the printing pitch is the same as that during printing. The difference is in various dimensions. The elongation of the base film varies depending on the temperature of heat applied in the manufacturing process, the heating time, the applied pressure, and the size of the tension, and also varies greatly depending on the type and thickness of the film. For this reason, even if gravure printing is performed on a base film that is twice the width of the bag and the patterns on the front and back are arranged in the width direction and the printing pitch is completely matched, the sealant film is laminated after being cut in half. If the pattern is made, the pattern of the front wrapping material and the pattern of the back wrapping material will no longer be completely the same in pitch, but will be different. In addition, it is difficult for a packaging material formed using a base film provided with a design by performing printing separately to make a bag with the design of the front packaging material and the design of the back packaging material matched. Furthermore, it is more difficult to make a bag by matching the design of the bottom gusset with the design of the front packaging material and the design of the back packaging material.

  That is, for a normal bag making machine, set two original fabric rolls wound with a front packaging material and a back packaging material, which are printed separately so that the pattern has the same pitch, and from each original fabric roll to the front packaging material And the back wrapping material are drawn out, the patterns are matched and overlapped, the heat seal in the vertical direction and the heat seal in the horizontal direction are applied, and the bottom gusset wrapping material is the flow of the front wrapping material and the back wrapping material Even if the initial conditions are set so that the bag is drawn out substantially perpendicular to the direction and cut to make a bag, when both the packaging materials start running after the bag making starts, the printing pitch and the back packaging of the front packaging material Since minute deviations from the printing pitch of the material accumulate and become large deviations, it is impossible to make a bag in which the front design, the back design, and the bottom gusset packaging material match.

  In order to make it possible to eliminate the pattern shift and make a bag, conventionally, the packaging material traveling upstream from the position where the pattern is aligned with the packaging material with the smaller printing pitch is intermittent. A large tension is applied at the stop position to give an elongation that cannot be numerically measured.By this, it is timed to determine whether the design of the packaging material with the smaller printing pitch matches the design of the packaging material with the larger printing pitch. In the observation results, if the pattern does not fit due to insufficient elongation, the tension is further increased to observe whether or not the pattern fits. If the extension of the smaller packaging material is slightly increased, modify the tension so that the tension is reduced to reduce the extension of the packaging material, and thus adjust the tension repeatedly. It had to fit a pattern. Note that there is no patent document or non-patent document regarding this control.

  In this control, the elongation of the packaging material varies depending on the type, width, thickness, number of layers, etc. of the packaging material, and the amount of tension and the elongation of the packaging material are not related and should be quantified. Therefore, the time required for the pattern matching between the two packaging materials having the above-described control contents and different printing pitches increases, and the rate of occurrence of bag-making defects in which the symbols cannot be matched becomes extremely large. When the printing pitch is changed on one of the upper and lower wrapping materials during the operation of the bag making machine, it is avoided that large deviations accumulate between the patterns of the upper and lower wrapping materials. At this time, the control until the symbols are matched is the same as the above, and the tension applied to the upper and lower packaging materials is newly changed to an unreasonable size to determine whether the positional deviation is eliminated or not. It was necessary to observe over time. For this reason, the practical use of the bag making machine operated by the above control has been extremely difficult.

  On the other hand, as an invention for enabling bag-making in which such a design shift is eliminated, a plastic film printing pitch correction apparatus disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 has been proposed.

  The technique of Patent Document 1 includes a tension applying mechanism in a plastic film feeding path that pressurizes, heats, and softens while applying a longitudinal tension by sandwiching a plastic film between a heater and a pedestal. The printing pitch is corrected. However, since this configuration is difficult to use, an improved technique of Patent Document 2 has been proposed.

  The technique of Patent Document 2 is provided with a discontinuous cut forming mechanism and a tension applying mechanism in the plastic film feed path, and the discontinuous cut forming mechanism prevents the width of the plastic film from being increased in the width direction before the print pitch deviation is accumulated and increased. A continuous cut is formed, and a tension is applied to the plastic film in the length direction to open a discontinuous cut in the width direction, and the plastic film is stretched to correct the printing pitch of the plastic film.

JP 2003-48260 A (refer to the claims section, detailed description section, and FIGS. 1 to 6) JP-A-2005-1114 (refer to the claims, detailed description of the invention, and FIGS. 1 to 7)

  However, also in the technique described in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to stop the travel of the plastic film when the discontinuous cut forming mechanism and the tension applying mechanism are functioned, and the lateral direction at the end of the bag making machine is required. Since the cut made in accordance with the heat seal does not coincide with the discontinuous cut in the width direction, there is a technical disadvantage that it is necessary to cut (cut) before and after the line direction of the discontinuous cut in the width direction. There is a problem that the bag making ability is lower than that of the bag machine. Furthermore, when there is a large difference between the pattern pitch of the front wrapping material and the design pitch of the back wrapping material, it is necessary to constantly operate the discontinuous cut forming mechanism and the tension applying mechanism. There is a problem that ability falls.

  The object of the present invention was invented in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and two original rolls wound with a front wrapping material and a back wrapping material printed so as to have the same or substantially the same pattern. The front wrapping material, the back wrapping material, and the bottom gusset wrapping material rolled out from the roll roll wound with the bottom gusset wrapping material are matched to each other without causing the accumulation of minute differences in printing pitch. An object of the present invention is to provide a bag making machine capable of making a bag and making a bag having a width of 600 mm or more.

  In order to achieve the above object, a bag making machine for making a bag having a bottom gusset according to the present invention comprises: a roll roll wound with a front packaging material on which registration marks are printed at a constant pitch; Roll the back wrapping material printed at the same pitch as the registration mark of the front packaging material, and roll the bottom gusset packaging material printed at the same pitch as the registration mark of the front packaging material and the back packaging material. From the original fabric roll, the front wrapping material, the back wrapping material, and the bottom gusset wrapping material are fed out, and by applying tension to each wrapping material, the patterns of the front wrapping material, the back wrapping material, and the bottom gusset wrapping material Alternatively, the registration marks are overlapped with each other, and the heat seal in the longitudinal direction along the longitudinal direction of the packaging material is applied, and then the heat seal in the transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the packaging material is applied. For lateral heat sealing at the end position A bag making machine for bag making a bag having a bottom gusset and Align cut.

  The bag making machine of the present invention has a pair of alignment rolls that are rotatably provided at an upstream position of the region where the heat seal in the vertical direction is applied and overlap the surface packaging material and the back packaging material in between. The packaging material is gripped without slipping through the upper packaging material of either the packaging material matching portion, the front packaging material or the back packaging material that travels upstream of the pair of matching rolls. A pair of upper packaging material feed rolls intermittently rotated by a first servomotor that feeds and an upper packaging material feeding section having an upper nip roll that presses the packaging material against the rolls, and a position below the upstream position of the pair of mating rolls. And is rotated intermittently by a second servo motor that grips without slipping and feeds the packaging material intermittently through the lower packaging material of the other one of the front packaging material and the back packaging material that runs on the lower side. Lower parcel The lower packaging material feeding part having a lower roll nip roll for crimping the packaging material to the feed roll and the roll, and provided at the boundary between the area where the vertical heat sealing is performed and the area where the horizontal heat sealing is performed An intermediate wrapping material feed roll that is intermittently rotated by a third servomotor that grips through the front wrapping material and the back wrapping material without slippage and intermittently feeds the wrapping material, and an intermediate that presses the wrapping material onto this roll.

Are displayed side by side.

  Further, slipping occurs through the packaging material mating portion having a pair of mating rolls for superimposing the bottom gazette packaging material on the front packaging material and the back packaging material, and the bottom gazette packaging material traveling upstream from the pair of mating rolls. A gusset wrapping material feed roll that is intermittently rotated by a fifth servomotor that grips the wrapping material and intermittently feeds the wrapping material, and a gusset wrapping material feed portion that has an upper nip roll that presses the wrapping material against the roll, and the longitudinal heat An intermediate portion that is intermittently rotated by a third servo motor that is provided at the boundary between the area to be sealed and the area to be heat-sealed in the lateral direction and grips the bottom gusset packaging without slipping and intermittently feeds the packaging Provided upstream of the packaging material feed roll and an intermediate packaging material feed section having an intermediate nip roll for crimping the packaging material to the roll, and the bottom gusset packaging material feed roll And a registration mark sensor movement adjuster having an individual movement unit for adjusting the movement of the fifth registration mark sensor in any direction along the longitudinal direction of the packaging material. The position where the registration marks or the patterns of the front wrapping material and the back wrapping material are matched between the region where the heat sealing is performed and the mating roll is set as a reference position, and heat sealing is performed.

  The bag making machine for making a bag having a bottom gusset according to the present invention includes a length of the upper packaging material from the reference position to the upper nip roll, and a lower packaging material from the reference position to the lower side. The first nip roll is set to be equal in length to the side nip roll, and is positioned and adjusted in correspondence with each of the upper packaging material feed roll, the lower packaging material feed roll, and the intermediate packaging material feed roll. When the registration marks are coincident with the detection positions of the second and third registration mark sensors, the packaging material feed rolls are each wrapped so as to have a rotation amount corresponding to the average value of the most recent multiple pitches. When the registration mark is misaligned, the registration mark printed on the packaging material approaches and moves with an adjustable step amount per intermittent feed. Match Thus, each packaging material feed rolls, characterized in that it is configured to perform control to intermittently rotate.

  According to the above configuration, the main operation control is performed after the following preparation before the main operation control is performed. When this operation control is performed, the bag making machine can perform bag making in which the registration mark on the front packaging material, the registration mark on the back packaging material, and the registration mark on the gusset packaging material are aligned.

The preparation before the actual operation control is as follows. First, set the roll roll with the front wrapping material and the roll roll with the back wrapping material on the bag making machine, and feed the front and back wrapping materials. Then, it is put on a bag making machine, and the patterns of the upper and lower packaging materials are substantially matched at the reference position, and a packaging material grip force is generated on each packaging material feed roll.
Next, the intermediate packaging material feed roll is chopper-driven to apply tension to the upper packaging material from the upper packaging material feeding section to the intermediate packaging material feeding section, and from the intermediate packaging material feeding section to the lower packaging material feeding section. Apply the same tension as the upper side to the lower wrapping.
Next, the bag making machine is temporarily operated to equalize the tension, insert the gusset wrapping material, equalize the tension, and perform vertical heat sealing between the wrapping material matching section and the intermediate wrapping material feeding section. Perform a heat seal in the transverse direction on the downstream side of the intermediate packaging material feed section, and cut at the line end position.
Next, the lower wrapping material is cut at the reference position, and the lower wrapping material is fed out in the downstream direction as appropriate in the lower wrapping material feed section, and the design of the lower wrapping material is changed to the design of the upper wrapping material at the reference position. Accurately matched, the gusset wrapping material is also matched in the same manner, and firmly fixed to the upper wrapping material feeding portion.
Next, the tension of the lower packaging material and the tension of the gusset packaging material are recovered, and the first, second, and fifth registration mark sensors are roughly aligned with the corresponding registration marks.

  Next, the bag making machine is operated by switching to the main operation control. In this operation control, when the registration mark matches the detection position of the registration mark sensor that is positioned and adjusted corresponding to each packaging material feed roll, the average value of the most recent multiple pitches for the packaging material feed roll When each packaging material feed roll rotates intermittently so that the amount of rotation corresponds to the registration mark, the registration mark printed on the packaging material can be adjusted per intermittent feed. Each packaging material feed roll rotates intermittently so as to approach and coincide with each other.

When there is no deviation between the registration mark and the detection position of the registration mark sensor and the movement adjustment based on the step amount is not performed, the rotation amount corresponding to the average value of the plurality of pitches is set for the packaging material feed roll. Perform intermittent rotation. When the registration mark intermittently stops at a position slightly shifted (eg, 0.3 mm) downstream from the detection position of the registration mark sensor, the intermittent rotation stops immediately after the registration mark is detected. For example, the calculated distance is calculated from the signal of the rotary encoder provided coaxially with the packaging material feed roll and the registration mark detection signal, and is subtracted from the rotation amount at the previous intermittent rotation by the rotation angle corresponding to the calculated distance. The registration mark is made to coincide with the detection position of the registration mark sensor by intermittently rotating the packaging material feed roll by the rotation amount.
In addition, even when the registration mark is intermittently stopped at a position slightly shifted to the upstream side with respect to the detection position of the registration mark sensor, the intermittent rotation is stopped after the registration mark is detected. Calculated from the rotary encoder signal coaxially provided on the material feed roll and the registration mark detection signal, and the packaging material with the rotation amount added to the rotation amount at the previous intermittent rotation by the rotation angle corresponding to this calculated distance As the feed roll rotates intermittently, the registration mark coincides with the detection position of the registration mark sensor. However, as described above, the packaging material feed rolls rotate intermittently so that the registration marks move closer and coincide with each other with an adjustable step amount per intermittent feed.

  Thus, after switching to the main operation control and operating the bag making machine, if there is no difference in the printing pitch of the upper and lower gusset packaging materials, the registration marks on the upper and lower gusset packaging materials match at the reference position. There is no deviation, but when the printing pitch of the upper and lower gusset packaging materials is different, the registration marks on the upper and lower gusset packaging materials match at the reference position if the registration mark sensor is not adjusted and moved. Every time the wrapping material disappears and the packaging material is intermittently fed, the pattern accumulates a large amount of deviation. Accordingly, the reference position is observed, and one or both of the registration mark sensors corresponding to the registration marks having a deviation from the reference position are adjusted and moved. By appropriately adjusting and moving the registration mark sensor, the registration mark corresponding to the registration mark sensor on the side of the adjustment movement is moved and matched, and the tension acting on the packaging material is adjusted. At the reference position, the registration marks on the upper and lower packaging materials coincide with each other, and the pattern shift is eliminated and they coincide. In this way, the pattern is kept in the same position at the reference position, the vertical heat seal is applied, and then the horizontal heat seal is applied and cut. It is possible to realize a bag making in which no occurs.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, any one of the upper packaging material feeding portion, the lower packaging material feeding portion, the gusset packaging material feeding portion, and the intermediate packaging material feeding portion. However, it is preferable that a plurality of combinations of the packaging material feed roll and the nip roll are provided side by side.
According to this aspect, since a large packaging material grip force without slipping is generated, it is possible to realize a packaging material feeding portion structure that can feed the packaging material by applying a large tension to the packaging material.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, any one of the upper packaging material feeding portion, the lower packaging material feeding portion, the gusset packaging material feeding portion, and the intermediate packaging material feeding portion. Preferably, the packaging material feed roll has a wrapping angle having a packaging material grip force capable of applying a tension that generates elongation necessary for correcting the printing pitch on the packaging material applied to the packaging material feed roll. .
According to this aspect, since a large packaging material grip force without slipping is generated, it is possible to realize a packaging material feeding portion structure that can feed the packaging material by applying a large tension to the packaging material.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of any one of the first to third aspects, an upper tension detection roll around which an upper packaging material is wound between the reference position and the upper packaging material feed roll. An upper load cell for detecting the magnitude of tension acting on the upper packaging material, and a lower packaging material wound between the reference position and the lower packaging material feed roll. A side tension detection roll, and a bearing portion that includes a lower load cell that detects the magnitude of tension acting on the lower packaging material, and a tension detection roll for the gusset packaging material, the upper load cell, And a tension numerical value display section for displaying numerical values indicating the magnitudes of the tension detected by the lower load cell and the gusset packaging load cell, respectively. Door is preferable.

  According to this aspect, any one of the first, second, and fifth registration mark sensors can detect a shift in a pattern caused by a slight difference in printing pitches of the upper packaging material, the lower packaging material, and the gusset packaging material. Adjust the position and apply the appropriate tension to the upper packaging material, lower packaging material, and gusset packaging material, and carry out the operation to make bags that do not shift the design. Appropriate tension magnitudes acting on each of the materials can be collected as numerical data. Thus, in the next bag making in which the type, width, thickness, number of layers, etc. of the packaging material are variously different, if there is operation data that has been made using the same or substantially the same packaging material before, Using the operation data, appropriate tension can be applied to the upper wrapping material, the lower wrapping material, and the gusset wrapping material.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the fourth aspect, a configuration including an alarm unit that issues an alarm when a numerical value indicating the magnitude of the tension reaches a set lower limit value or a set upper limit value; It is preferable to do.

In this manner, when the alarm unit issues an alarm when the numerical value indicating the magnitude of the tension reaches the set lower limit value, the first, second, and fifth registration mark sensors are simultaneously moved upstream. By increasing the tension acting on the upper wrapping material, the lower wrapping material and the gusset wrapping material together, it is possible to avoid the meandering of the wrapping material, and the upper wrapping material, the lower wrapping material and the gusset wrapping material. The size of the tension acting on the bag can be changed appropriately and at the same time, so that the upper packaging material, the lower packaging material, and the gusset packaging material do not deviate from the design, and the bag making with the matching printing pitch can be continued. On the other hand, when the alarm unit does not issue an alarm and the numerical value indicating the magnitude of the tension is not noticed that the set lower limit has been reached, the upper wrapping material, the lower wrapping material, and the gusset wrapping material The pattern is shifted in the width direction, resulting in poor bag-making.
Also, with this configuration, when an alarm is issued from the alarm unit when the numerical value indicating the magnitude of the tension reaches the set upper limit value, the first, second, and fifth registration mark sensors are simultaneously set downstream. By moving and reducing the tension acting on the upper packaging material and the lower packaging material, it is possible to avoid the situation where the tension acts on the packaging material and the roll stops rotating, and the upper packaging material and the lower packaging material. Since the magnitude of the tension acting on the side wrapping material can be changed to be appropriately small at the same time, it is possible to continue the bag making with the printing pitch matched without causing a pattern shift between the upper wrapping material and the lower wrapping material.

  According to the present invention, when there is no difference between the printing pitches of the upper and lower packaging materials and the bottom gusset packaging material, the registration marks of the upper and lower packaging materials and the gusset packaging material coincide with each other at the reference position, and the pattern is shifted. Although there is no difference, observe the reference position on the premise that there is a difference in the printing pitch of the upper and lower packaging materials and the gusset packaging material, and when there is a deviation in the design, move one or both registration mark sensors appropriately. As a result, the registration mark moves forward to coincide with the registration mark sensor, the tension acting on the packaging material and the elongation of the packaging material accompanying this are adjusted, and the registration mark corresponding to the reference position is moved to the reference position. The pattern shift is eliminated, the pattern is kept in the same position at the reference position, the heat seal is applied in the vertical direction, and then the heat seal is applied in the horizontal direction to cut the print pitch. Difference Pattern with some three packaging materials, can be realized bag making a shift in registration mark is not generated, the width can be provided bag making machine capable of bag-making large bags or 600 mm.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, a bag manufactured by the bag making machine of this embodiment is shown in FIG. This bag P is a so-called stand pouch, in which a front body part (front wrapping material) 1 and a back body part (back wrapping material) 2 are overlapped, and between the front body part 1 and the back body part 2, A bottom heat seal 5 is formed on the bottom gusset 3 to form a boat-shaped bottom portion, and a zipper support film is heat-sealed between the front body portion 1 and the back body portion 2 with a pair of male and female zipper 4 engaged with each other. Side seals 6 are provided on both sides. On both sides of the bottom gusset 3, there are punch holes 7 for applying side seals 6.
This configuration is the same as that of a known stand pouch, but as a difference from the known stand pouch (a point that could not be made in the prior art), the front barrel portion 1 and the back barrel portion 2 are fed out from separate raw rolls. The design of the front wrapping material and the back wrapping material are matched, and the design of the bottom gusset 3 is also matched with the design of the front wrapping material and the back wrapping material.

  The outline of the whole line structure of the bag making machine of this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 1, FIG. The bag making machine 10 is configured such that the first original fabric roll R1 can be set at the upper part of the upstream portion and the second original fabric roll R2 can be set at the lower portion of the upstream portion. The first original fabric roll R1 is formed by winding either the front packaging material or the rear packaging material on which the front design and the back design are printed at the same printing pitch. Either the packaging material or the back wrapping material is wound. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, it is assumed that the front wrapping material is the upper wrapping material f1 and the back wrapping material is the lower wrapping material f2. Furthermore, it is the structure which can set 3rd original fabric roll R3 to the line side slightly downstream from 1st original fabric roll R1. The third web roll R3 is formed by winding a bottom gazette packaging material f3 printed with a bottom pattern at the same printing pitch as the front packaging material, and opening the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2 up and down. Fold the gusset in the space. Furthermore, the reel R4 formed by winding the continuous material of the zipper Z in which the front and rear wrapping materials and the back wrapping material are engaged with each other on the side corresponding to the position opened up and down can be set.

  An upper wrapping material (front wrapping material) f1 is continuously fed from a first raw roll R1 between an upper continuous feed roll 12 and a nip roll 13 rotated by an upper variable speed motor (inverter motor) 11, The upper packaging material f1 is guided in the line downstream direction so that the width direction is horizontal, and hung on the upper dancer roll 14, and then the upper packaging material feed roll 16 and the upper nip roll 17 of the upper packaging material feeding section 15 are placed. From here, it guides between a pair of packaging material matching rolls 18 as intermittent feed. The tension acting on the upper wrapping material f1 between the upper nip roll 17 and the upper dancer roll 14 is the magnitude of the upper dancer roll 14, and this tension does not cause the upper wrapping material f1 to be stretched to increase the printing pitch. In addition, a pair of packaging material matching roll 18 is provided rotatably.

  Further, the packaging material (lower packaging material) f2 is continuously passed from the second raw roll R2 between the lower continuous feed roll 20 and the nip roll 21 rotated by the lower variable speed motor (inverter motor) 19. The lower packaging material f2 is fed to the lower dancer roll 22 by guiding the lower packaging material f2 in the downstream direction of the line so that the width direction is horizontal, and then the lower packaging material feed section 23 is lowered. It guide | induces between the feed roll 24 and the lower nip roll 25, and guides between a pair of packaging material matching rolls 18 as intermittent feed from here, and the sealant surface is overlapped with the sealant surface of the upper packaging material f1. The tension acting on the lower wrapping material f2 between the lower nip roll 25 and the lower dancer roll 22 is the size of the lower dancer roll 22, and this tension does not cause the wrapping material to stretch.

  Further, the packaging material (bottom gusset packaging material) f3 is continuously fed out from the third raw roll R3, and the bottom gusset packaging material f3 is guided so that the width direction becomes vertical from the horizontal state to the machine line. After being hung on a dancer roll 26 that can be horizontally rotated on the side, it is guided to a bottom gusset wrapping material guide roll 28 of a bottom gusset feed section 27, and is then intermittently fed to a triangular plate former 29 to be folded and folded by a folding roll 30 so that the sealant is externally attached. The bottom gusset is made into a bottom gusset, and the bottom gusset f3 is punched by the punch 31 for closing the side seal portion, and then guided between the pair of wrapping material aligning rolls 18, and the upper wrapping material f1. And sandwiched on one side between the lower packaging material f2.

  Further, the male and female zipper Z is continuously fed out from the reel R4, and the zipper Z is hung on the guide wheel 32 and guided between the pair of packaging material aligning rolls 18, and the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2 are separated. Place it on the other side of the gap.

The upper packaging material f1, the lower packaging material f2, the bottom gusset f3, and the zipper Z, which are guided between the pair of packaging material aligning rolls 18 as described above, are kept in an overlapped state, and the intermediate packaging material is fed. Guided between the intermediate part packaging material feed roll 34 and the intermediate part nip roll 35 of the part 33, and then hung on the intermediate part dancer roll 36, and then the terminal part packaging material feed roll 38 and the terminal part nip roll of the terminal part packaging material feed part 37 39 between the upper and lower cutters 40. A receiving conveyor 41 for receiving a cut bag at the end of the line is provided, and a control unit 42 including an input setting unit such as a display and an item is provided at the upper part of the conveyor frame.
The intermediate dancer roll 36 is pushed down by, for example, an air cylinder or a spring bias.

In this case, a pair of upper and lower zippers are fixed to the overlapping portion of the upper wrapping material f1, the lower wrapping material f2 and the zipper Z between the pair of wrapping material aligning rolls 18 and the intermediate wrapping material feeding portion 33. By opening and closing the heat sealer 43 once in the same manner as described above, zipper support films (not shown) on both sides are thermally bonded to the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2, and then a pair of upper and lower bottom heat sealers 44. When the packaging material feeding is intermittently stopped, the pair of bottom heat sealers 44 are placed at the required time, the required pressure, and the required temperature at the overlapped portion of the upper packaging material f1, the lower packaging material f2, and the bottom gusset f3.

By closing and opening at the required time, required pressure, and required temperature, heat sealing (side-sealing) is performed in a lateral direction with respect to the overlapping portion of the upper packaging material f1, the lower packaging material f2, the bottom gusset f3, and the zipper Z. Next, the horizontal heat seal part is cooled by opening and closing the water-cooled cooler 48 provided at each of the two locations corresponding to the registration marks shifted to the downstream side by one pitch in the same manner as above.

  The packaging material matching section 18 is composed of a pair of upper and lower packaging material matching rolls provided in a rotation-free manner with the axis line horizontal at an upstream position of the region where the heat seal in the vertical direction is applied, and an upper packaging material (front packaging material) f1 The lower wrapping material (back wrapping material) f2 and the gusset wrapping material f3 are overlapped with each other.

  The upper packaging material feeding part 15 and the lower packaging material feeding part 23 are provided symmetrically in the vertical direction. The upper packaging material feed section 15 is driven and controlled by the upper packaging material feed roll 16, the upper nip roll 17, and the control section 42 that are provided in the upper and lower positions at an upper position upstream of the pair of packaging material aligning rolls 18. A first servo motor 59 that intermittently rotates the material feed roll 16, and the upper packaging material f <b> 1 is passed between the rolls and wound so as to have a large winding angle with respect to the upper packaging material feed roll 16. Thus, the upper packaging material feed roll 16 is configured to grip and intermittently feed the upper packaging material f1 without slipping.

The intermediate packaging material feed roll 34 of the book is configured to grip and intermittently feed the upper and lower packaging materials f1, f2 without slipping.

In addition, about the upper packaging material feeding part 15 and the lower packaging material feeding part 23, as the structure of the double roll structure similar to the intermediate | middle part packaging material feeding part 33, elongation required in order to correct a printing pitch arises in a packaging material. You may make it produce the packaging material grip force which acts on tension.
Further, the intermediate packaging material feeding section 33 is configured to wind the packaging material in the same manner as the upper packaging material feeding section 15, and has a packaging material grip force that applies tension that causes elongation necessary for correcting the printing pitch on the packaging material. You may make it produce. The tension for correcting the printing pitch of the upper packaging material f1 between the intermediate packaging material feeding section 33 and the upper packaging material feeding section 15, and the intermediate packaging material feeding section 33 and the lower packaging material feeding section 23, A tension is applied to correct the printing pitch of the lower packaging material f2. However, since the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 are integrated on the downstream side of the sealed portion in the vertical direction, the difference in tension occurs on the upstream side of the sealed portion in the vertical direction.

  The lower packaging material feed unit 23 is provided adjacent to the upstream side of the cutter 40 at the downstream end of the bag making machine 10, and is driven and controlled by the lower packaging material feed roll 24, the lower nip roll 25, and the control unit 42. And a fourth servo motor 62 that intermittently rotates the lower packaging material feed roll 24, and the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 (including the bottom gusset and zipper between the packaging materials) are placed between the upper and lower rolls. By being passed, a plurality of intermediate packaging material feed rolls 34 are configured to grip and intermittently feed the upper and lower packaging materials f1, f2 without slipping. The tension acting on the upper and lower packaging materials f1, f2 (including the bottom gusset and the zipper between the packaging materials) between the lower packaging material feeding portion 23 and the intermediate dancer roll is the size of the intermediate dancer roll. .

  The registration mark sensor movement adjuster 57 includes a switch for adjusting the movement of the first registration mark sensor 51 provided on the upstream side of the upper packaging material feed roll 16 in the upstream direction along the longitudinal direction of the upper packaging material f1 and the downstream. An upper individual moving portion 57a that performs adjustment movement by selecting one of the switches for moving and adjusting in the direction, and a second registration mark sensor 52 provided on the upstream side of the lower packaging material feed roll 24. A lower individual moving part 57b that performs adjustment movement by selecting either a switch for adjusting movement in the upstream direction along the longitudinal direction of the lower packaging material f2 or a switch for adjusting movement in the downstream direction. And a switch for simultaneously moving and adjusting the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52 in the upstream direction along the longitudinal direction of each packaging material and a switch for simultaneously adjusting the movement in the downstream direction. And a co-moving portion 57c for performing the adjustment movement by selecting one of the.

  The display unit 58 sets a reference position A as a position where the registration marks or symbols of the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2 are matched between the longitudinal heat seal area and the packaging material matching roll 18. At the reference position A, two images captured by a pair of image capturing units (digital cameras) 63 and 64 that capture the upper and lower registration marks or symbols are displayed side by side.

  Then, the bag making machine 10 makes the length of the upper packaging material f1 from the reference position A to the upper nip roll 17 equal to the length of the lower packaging material f2 from the reference position A to the lower nip roll 25. The control unit 42 is set, and the first to fifth registration mark sensors 51 that are positioned and adjusted corresponding to the upper packaging material feed roll 16, the lower packaging material feed roll 24, and the intermediate packaging material feed roll 34, respectively. , 52, 53, 54, and 55, when the registration marks coincide with each other, the amount of rotation corresponding to the average value of the nearest multiple pitches of each packaging material feed roll 16, 24, 34, 38 In this way, each packaging material feed roll is controlled to rotate intermittently. When the registration mark is misaligned, the registration mark printed on the packaging material can be adjusted per intermittent feed. Move closer in quantity To match Te, it is configured to perform control to intermittently rotate each packaging material feed rolls.

In addition, in order to add the registration mark of the bottom gusset f3 to the pattern matching of the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2, and further to match the design of the bottom gusset f3, it is not shown on the downstream side of the dancer roll 26. A bottom gusset packaging material feed roll (not shown) that is rotated by a servo motor (not shown), and a fifth register for detecting a registration mark printed on the bottom gusset packaging material upstream thereof. It is assumed that a mark sensor 55 is provided so that the registration mark advances and approaches the detection position of the fifth registration mark sensor 55 to be adjusted and moved.
The registration mark sensor movement adjuster 57 includes an individual movement unit for adjusting the movement of the fifth registration mark sensor 55 in order to adjust the tension of the bottom gusset f3, and further includes the simultaneous movement unit 57c as the fifth registration mark 57c. The mark sensor 55 can be configured to be simultaneously moved and adjusted.

  The bag making machine 10 further includes an upper tension detection roll 65 around which the upper packaging material f1 is wound between the reference position A and the upper packaging material feed roll 16, and the bearing portion acts on the upper packaging material f1. An upper load cell (not shown) for detecting the magnitude of tension is provided, and a lower tension detection roll 66 around which the lower packaging material f2 is wound between the reference position A and the lower packaging material feed roll 24 is provided. Provided with a lower load cell (not shown) for detecting the magnitude of the tension acting on the lower packaging material f2 at the bearing portion, and numerical values indicating the magnitudes of the tension detected by the upper load cell and the lower load cell, respectively. It has a tension value display that displays side by side.

With this configuration, the position adjustment of either the first or second registration mark sensor 51 or 52 is performed with respect to a pattern shift caused by a slight difference in printing pitch between the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2. And the position of the fifth registration mark sensor 55 is also adjusted, and an appropriate tension is applied to the upper wrapping material f1, the lower wrapping material f2, and the bottom gusset wrapping material f3, respectively, to produce a bag that does not cause a pattern shift. The operation which can be performed is implemented and the magnitude | size of the appropriate tension which acts on each of the upper side packaging material f1 and the lower side packaging material f2 at that time can be extract | collected as numerical data.
And, by this, in the next bag making where the type, width, thickness, number of layers, etc. of the packaging material are variously different, when there is operation data that has been made using the same or substantially the same packaging material before By using the operation data, appropriate tension can be applied to the upper packaging material f1, the lower packaging material f2, and the bottom gusset packaging material f3, respectively.

The tension numerical value display section includes an alarm section (not shown) that issues different alarms when a numerical value indicating the magnitude of the tension reaches a set lower limit value (for example, 3 Kg) or a set upper limit value (for example, 20 Kg). Yes.
With this configuration, when an alarm is issued from the alarm unit when the numerical value indicating the magnitude of the tension reaches the set lower limit value, the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52 are simultaneously moved upstream. By increasing both the tensions acting on the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2, it is possible to avoid the meandering of the packaging material, and the tension acting on the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2. The size of can be changed appropriately and at the same time, so that the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2 do not deviate in design and can continue to make bags with the same printing pitch. On the other hand, when the alarm unit does not issue an alarm and the numerical value indicating the magnitude of the tension is not noticed that the set lower limit value is taken and no action is taken, the pattern of the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2 Shifts in the width direction, resulting in poor bag-making.
Further, according to this configuration, when the alarm is issued when the numerical value indicating the magnitude of the tension reaches the set upper limit value, the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52 are simultaneously set downstream. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the roll is stopped due to the tension acting on the packaging material by reducing both the tension acting on the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2 by moving, and the upper packaging material. The size of the tension acting on f1 and the lower packaging material f2 can be changed to be appropriately small at the same time, so that the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2 do not cause a pattern shift and continue making bags with the same printing pitch. it can.

  According to the above configuration, after performing the following preparations before the main operation control, the main operation control described later in the bag making machine of the present invention becomes possible. Based on the main operation control, the bag making machine 10 It is possible to carry out bag making in which the registration mark of the material f1 and the registration mark of the lower packaging material f2 are aligned with each other.

In preparation for the operation control, first, the upper packaging material f1 and the lower packaging material f2 are put on the bag making machine 10. Specifically, an original fabric roll R1 formed by winding the upper packaging material f1 and an original fabric roll R2 formed by winding the lower packaging material f2 are set in the bag making machine 10. Then, the lower raw fabric roll R2 is passed between the lower packaging material feed roll 24 and the lower nip roll 25 of the lower packaging material feeding section 23, and between the pair of packaging material matching rolls 18 of the packaging material matching section 18. Thread to the end of the line. Next, the upper original fabric roll R1 is passed between the upper packaging material feed roll 16 and the upper nip roll 17 of the upper packaging material feeding section 15, and further passed between the pair of packaging material matching rolls 18 of the packaging material matching section 18. It passes between the intermediate part packaging material feed roll 34 and the intermediate part nip roll 35 of the partial packaging material feed part 33 and passes to the line end position.
In this case, the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 are passed between heat sealers that perform vertical heat sealing between the packaging material matching unit 18 and the intermediate packaging material feeding unit 33, and from the intermediate packaging material feeding unit 33. Also, it is passed through a heat sealer that performs a transverse heat seal on the downstream side. Then, the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 are approximately matched with each other at the downstream reference position near the packaging material aligning portion 18, and the nips for the packaging material feed rolls 16, 24, and 34 are placed on the nip rolls 17, 25, and 35, respectively. Pressure is applied, and a packaging material grip force is generated on each packaging material feed roll 16, 24, 34.

  Next, the tension applied to the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 is initialized. More specifically, the upper packaging material f1 from the upper packaging material feeding portion 15 to the intermediate packaging material feeding portion 33 is meandered by chopper driving the intermediate packaging material feeding roll 34 of the intermediate packaging material feeding portion 33. A tension that does not occur is applied, and the same tension as the upper side is applied to the lower packaging material f2 from the intermediate packaging material feeding section 33 to the lower packaging material feeding section 23.

Next, the bag making machine 10 is temporarily operated to make the tension uniform. Specifically, the tension applied to the upper packaging material f1 upstream from the upper packaging material feeding portion 15, the tension applied to the lower packaging material f2 upstream from the lower packaging material feeding portion 23, and the upper packaging material feeding portion 15 The tension applied to the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 up to the intermediate packaging material feeding portion 33 and the tension applied to the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 downstream from the intermediate packaging material feeding portion 33 are equalized to predetermined values, respectively. To do.
In this case, when the control unit sets and inputs the pitch for intermittent feeding of the packaging material to the intermediate packaging material feeding unit 33, the same pitch is automatically set to the upper packaging material feeding unit 15 and the lower packaging material feeding unit 23 as well. It is assumed that the setting is input, and that the feeding of the upper packaging material feeding unit 15 and the lower packaging material feeding unit 23 can be minutely changed.
Further, in this case, the longitudinal heat sealing is performed between the packaging material matching unit 18 and the intermediate packaging material feeding unit 33, and the lateral heat sealing is performed on the downstream side of the intermediate packaging material feeding unit 33, so that the end of the line Cut at the position. In this case, the tension acting on the upper and lower packaging materials f1, f2 between the packaging material matching portion 18 and the intermediate packaging material feeding portion 33 is intermediate from the upstream end where the heat sealing in the vertical direction is performed. Assuming that the distance between the upper packaging material feed portion 33 is, for example, 10 kg, the tension acting on the upper packaging material f1 from the upstream end where the heat sealing in the vertical direction is performed to the upper nip roll 17 is 5 kg. The tension acting on the lower packaging material f2 from the upstream end where the heat sealing in the vertical direction is performed to the lower nip roll 25 is 5 kg.

  Next, the design of the upper packaging material f1 and the design of the lower packaging material f2 are accurately matched at the reference position. Specifically, one packaging material, for example, the lower packaging material f2 is cut, and the lower packaging material feeding unit 23 feeds the lower packaging material f2 downstream, for example, by one printing pitch. The design of the lower packaging material f2 fed out downstream from the upper packaging material feed section 15 is accurately matched with the design of the upper packaging material f1 at the reference position, and the leading end of the lower packaging material f2 is aligned with the upper packaging material feed section 15. It firmly adheres to. This fixing may be performed with a strong adhesive tape, or may be thermal bonding with a hand-held heat sealer.

  Next, the tension of the lower packaging material f2 is recovered. Specifically, the lower wrapping material feed roll 24 of the lower wrapping material feed portion 23 is chopper-driven in the reverse direction so that substantially the same tension as that applied before cutting is applied. When this state is restored, the same tension is applied to the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 between the reference position A and the upper or lower nip rolls 17 and 25, and the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f1 are placed at the reference position. The design of the side wrapping material f2 matches exactly. Therefore, when the printing pitches of the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 are different, the patterns of the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 gradually increase as the printing pitch shifts accumulate from the reference position toward the upstream side. . Here, assuming that one pitch of the registration marks of the upper packaging material f1 is, for example, 0.3 mm larger than one pitch of the registration marks of the lower packaging material f2, 10 symbols are counted upstream from the reference position A. The length to the position is such that the upper packaging material f1 is 3 mm longer than the lower packaging material f2.

Next, one of the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52 is aligned with the corresponding registration mark. In this case, the upper and lower registration mark sensors 51 and 52 are moved in the vertical direction at the same time and then moved simultaneously, and the registration mark sensor is aligned with the registration mark having the larger printing pitch in the upper and lower packaging materials. Accordingly, the registration mark having the larger printing pitch is positioned away from the corresponding registration mark sensor by the deviation of the accumulated printing pitch from the reference position toward the upstream side.
It should be noted that the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52 are not adjusted so as to be downstream of the upper and lower registration marks. When adjusted in this way, when the bag making machine is operated by switching to the main operation control described below, movement control is performed so that the upper and lower registration marks coincide with the registration mark sensors located on the downstream side. Therefore, the upper and lower wrapping materials both reduce the tension without eliminating the shift in the printing pitch, and the wrapping material may meander.

  Next, the bag making machine 10 is operated by switching to the main operation control. In this operation control, the registration marks coincide with the detection positions of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth registration mark sensors 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55 that have been respectively positioned and adjusted. Rotation (ie, when the printing pitch of the upper and lower packaging materials does not change during operation), the rotation corresponding to the average value of the most recent multiple pitches is applied to the packaging material feed rolls 16, 24, 34, and 38. The registration marks of the upper and lower packaging materials coincide with each other at the reference position A, and there is no design shift. This can be confirmed by viewing the images of the two registration marks displayed side by side on the display 58.

In the actual operation control, the amount of rotation per intermittent rotation of each packaging material feed roll 16, 24, 34 in the actual operation control is, for example, the nearest 10 pitches when there is no deviation between the registration mark and the detection position of the registration mark sensor. When the registration mark and the detection position of the registration mark sensor are misaligned with each other, the step amount is adjustable per intermittent feed with respect to the value corresponding to the average value of the latest 10 pitches. The amount of rotation is increased or decreased.
If the third and fourth registration mark sensors 53 and 54 are aligned with the registration mark before the actual operation control, the movement is not adjusted during operation in the actual operation control.
Here, the “adjustable stepping amount per one-time intermittent feed” is, for example, 0.1 to 0.3 mm.

  When the registration marks are shifted from the detection positions of the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52 by adjusting and moving the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52 during operation, printing is performed on the packaging material. The packaging material feed rolls 16, 24, and 34 are controlled to rotate intermittently so that the registered marks move closer and coincide with each other with an adjustable step amount per intermittent feed. . That is, after operating the bag making machine 10 after switching to the main operation control, if there is a difference in the printing pitch of the upper and lower packaging materials, the registration mark sensor is not adjusted and moved up and down at the reference position A. The registration marks of the packaging material do not coincide with each other, and every time the packaging material is intermittently fed, the pattern accumulates a large amount of deviation. Therefore, by viewing the images of the two registration marks displayed side by side on the display 58, the reference position is observed, and either one or both of the registration marks corresponding to the registration marks having a deviation from the reference position are observed. Adjust and move the mark sensor. By appropriately adjusting and moving the registration mark sensor, the registration mark corresponding to the registration mark sensor on the side of the adjustment movement is moved and matched, and the tension acting on the packaging material is adjusted. At the reference position A, the registration marks on the upper and lower packaging materials coincide with each other, and the pattern shift is eliminated and they coincide. In this way, in the reference position A, the state in which the symbols coincide with each other is maintained and the vertical heat seal is applied, and then the horizontal heat seal is applied and cut. It is possible to realize a bag making without any deviation.

  More specifically, the relationship between the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52, the corresponding registration marks, the amount of intermittent rotation of the upper and lower packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24, and the reference position A will be described. To do.

  When the registration mark intermittently stops at a position where the registration mark is shifted to the downstream side with respect to the detection position of the registration mark sensors 51 and 52, the control unit 42 stops the intermittent rotation immediately after detecting the registration mark. In the same manner as described above, the controller calculates the distance from the rotary encoder signal coaxially provided on the packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 and the registration mark detection signal. The packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 are intermittently rotated by the rotation amount subtracted from the rotation amount at the time of rotation, so that the registration mark is controlled to coincide with the detection position of the registration mark sensor.

  In addition, when the registration mark intermittently stops at a position where the registration mark is slightly shifted upstream with respect to the detection positions of the registration mark sensors 51 and 52, the control unit 42 detects the registration mark immediately after starting the intermittent rotation. The deviation distance is calculated from, for example, a rotary encoder signal coaxially provided on the packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 and the registration mark detection signal, and the rotation angle corresponding to this step amount is the previous intermittent rotation. The packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 are intermittently rotated by a rotation amount added to the rotation amount, so that the registration mark is controlled to coincide with the detection position of the registration mark sensor.

  However, when the registration mark intermittently stops at a position 2.0 mm away from the detection position of the registration mark sensors 51 and 52 upstream, the control unit 42 performs the next one-time intermittent rotation. The packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 on the downstream side of the registration mark sensors 51 and 52 do not rotate intermittently at an increased rotation angle so that the registration mark sensors 51 and 52 stop and advance 2.0 mm downstream. This is to avoid tension disappearing on the downstream side of the packaging material feed rows 16 and 24 when intermittent feeding is performed to advance the registration mark by 2.0 mm to the downstream side with feeding of one printing pitch.

  When the registration mark is intermittently stopped at a position 2.0 mm away from the detection position of the registration mark sensors 51 and 52 on the downstream side, the control unit 42 performs the next one-time intermittent rotation. , The packaging material feed rolls 16, 24 on the downstream side of the registration mark sensors 51, 52 do not rotate intermittently at an increased rotation angle so that the registration mark sensors 51, 52 stop. . This is because, when intermittent feeding is performed in which the registration mark is retracted 2.0 mm to the upstream side by feeding at one printing pitch, the tension becomes too maximal on the downstream side of the packaging material feeding rolls 16, 24, and the packaging material feeding rolls 16, 24 , 34 becomes non-rotatable to avoid this.

  Therefore, as described above, the control unit 42 repeats the intermittent feed every time the intermittent feed is repeated with a value selected and set within a range of 0.1 to 0.3 mm as an adjustable step amount per one intermittent feed. The intermittent rotation of the packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 is controlled so that the mark moves closer to the detection position of the registration mark sensors 51 and 52. However, the control unit 42 does not perform further approach control when the registration mark is slightly displaced from the detection position of the registration mark sensors 51 and 52 by less than 0.1 mm. This is processed as related to the limit of detection sensitivity of the registration mark sensor (photoelectric tube). On the other hand, even if there is a shifted distance of less than 0.1 mm in the pattern of the bag made, there is no problem as a defective product. It should be noted that the selection and setting of the step amount in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 mm can be executed by inputting an external signal to the control unit 42.

  Therefore, as described above, the first and second registration mark sensors 51 and 52 are moved in the vertical direction (vertical direction) and then simultaneously moved to print in the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2. When the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 is aligned with the registration mark with the larger pitch, and then the bag making machine 10 is operated by switching to the main operation control, the control unit 42 selects the registration mark with the smaller printing pitch of the packaging material. Corresponding to the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 positioned on the upstream side so as to approach the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 with an adjustable step amount per one intermittent feed set in advance. Or the intermittent rotation amount of 24 is controlled.

  Therefore, the packaging material feed roll 16 or 24 has an intermittent rotation amount that is smaller by an amount corresponding to the stepping amount than an intermittent rotation amount when there is no deviation between the registration mark and the registration mark sensor 51 or 52. The packaging material is fed while increasing the tension of the packaging material portion on the downstream side to the reference position, and this causes elongation between the reference position A and the nip roll 17 or 25.

  When the registration mark with the smaller printing pitch of the packaging material f1 or f2 advances and coincides with the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 positioned on the upstream side, the control unit 42 performs intermittent rotation performed 10 times most recently. Since the packaging material feed roll 16 or 24 is controlled so as to feed the packaging material by the average value, the registration mark is stably aligned with the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 and applied to the packaging material with the smaller printing pitch. The applied tension becomes stable, and the elongation occurring between the reference position A and the nip roll 17 or 25 is also stable. Changes in tension can be observed on the tension numerical value display. When the control unit 42 performs control as described above, the symbols of the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 coincide with each other at the reference position A. In addition, the bottom gusset f3 is controlled so as to match.

  When the images of the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 at the reference position A are observed by viewing the images of the two registration marks displayed side by side on the display 58, and there is a deviation from the reference position A. In this case, the registration mark sensors 51 or 52 corresponding to one or both of the packaging materials f1 and f2 where the deviation occurs are individually adjusted and moved.

When the registration mark of the upper packaging material f1 is positioned downstream with respect to the reference position A, the switch on the right side of the individual moving part 57a of the registration mark sensor movement adjuster 57 is turned on to adjust the registration mark sensor 51 upstream. When the registration mark of the lower packaging material f2 is located downstream of the reference position A, the switch on the right side of the individual moving part 57b of the registration mark sensor movement adjuster 57 is turned on, and the registration mark sensor 52 is turned on. Adjust to move upstream.
As a result, the registration mark of the upper packaging material f1 or the lower packaging material f2 is shifted to the downstream side with respect to the registration mark sensor 51 or 52. Therefore, the control unit 42 detects and responds to this shift amount as described above. The intermittent rotation amount of the packaging material feed roll 16 or 24 is reduced to reduce the packaging material feed amount so that the registration mark corresponding to the reference position A coincides with the reference position A, and the registration mark corresponding to the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 is provided. Control is performed to move to the upstream side and match the registration mark sensor 51 or 52. At this time, the tension acting on the wrapping material increases but is temporary, and after the registration mark coincides with the registration mark sensor 51 or 52, it stabilizes near the original size.

Contrary to the above, when the registration mark of the upper packaging material f1 is positioned upstream with respect to the reference position A, the switch on the left side of the individual moving portion 57a of the registration mark sensor movement adjuster 57 is turned on to register the registration mark. When the sensor 51 is adjusted and moved downstream, and the registration mark of the lower packaging material f2 is positioned upstream with respect to the reference position A, the switch on the left side of the individual moving part 57b of the registration mark sensor movement adjuster 57 is turned on. Then, the registration mark sensor 52 is adjusted and moved downstream.
As a result, the registration mark is shifted to the upstream side with respect to the registration mark sensor 51 or 52, so that the control unit 42 detects this shift amount as described above and the intermittent rotation amount of the corresponding packaging material feed roll 16 or 24. The registration mark corresponding to the reference position A is moved downstream to coincide with the reference position and the registration mark corresponding to the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 is moved downstream. Control to match the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 is performed. At this time, the tension acting on the wrapping material is reduced but temporary, and after the registration mark coincides with the registration mark sensor, it stabilizes in the vicinity of the original size.

  By observing the tension displayed on the tension numerical value display section and the tension acting on the packaging material applied to either of the upper and lower packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 becomes, for example, 3 kg or less, the packaging material meanders. Therefore, at this time, since the alarm unit (not shown) issues an alarm, it is not necessary to overlook the situation, the tension numerical value display unit can be seen and the magnitude of the tension can be grasped, and the packaging material with reduced tension can be obtained. Instead of moving one of the corresponding registration mark sensors 51 or 52, the switch on the right side of the simultaneous moving portion 57c of the registration mark sensor movement adjuster 57 is turned on so that both the registration mark sensors 51 and 52 are integrated. Move upstream. Then, the control unit 42 inputs a signal for detecting the registration mark by the registration mark sensor 51 or 52, calculates the deviation amount between the registration mark sensor 51 or 52 and the registration mark as described above, and Control is performed to reduce both the rotation amounts of the material feed rolls 16 and 24 and increase the tension acting on the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2. Thereby, the packaging material feed of the packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 can be maintained in a good state without meandering.

  Further, when the tension acting on the packaging material applied to one of the upper and lower packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 is observed to be 20 kg or more by observing the tension displayed on the tension numerical value display section, the corresponding packaging material feed roll is There is a risk of falling into rotation impossible. Therefore, at this time as well, since the alarm unit issues an alarm, it is not necessary to overlook the situation, the magnitude of the tension can be grasped by looking at the tension numerical value display unit, and the simultaneous movement unit of the registration mark sensor movement adjuster 57 The switch on the left side of 57c is turned on, and the upper and lower registration mark sensors 51 and 52 are integrally moved downstream. Then, the control unit 42 inputs registration mark detection signals from the registration mark sensors 51 and 52, calculates a deviation amount between the registration mark sensors 51 and 52 and the registration marks, and controls the upper and lower packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24. Control is performed to increase both the amount of rotation and decrease both the tension acting on the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2. Thereby, the packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 can be maintained in a good state in which the packaging material is fed while applying appropriate tension to the packaging materials f1 and f2.

  Then, the tension displayed on the tension numerical value display section is observed, and when the tension acting on the packaging material applied to any of the upper and lower packaging material feed rolls 16 and 24 is in the range of 3 kg to 20 kg, the upper and lower register The mark sensor is not moved at the same time. As described above, the reference position A is observed, and either one or both of the registration mark sensors corresponding to the registration marks having a deviation from the reference position A are individually adjusted. Moving. Thereby, the control unit 42 performs control to align the registration mark with the registration mark sensor and align the registration marks of the upper and lower packaging materials at the reference position A.

  As described above, according to this bag making machine 10, after the operation is switched to the main operation control, when the printing pitch of the upper and lower packaging materials f <b> 1 and f <b> 2 does not change, the reference position A is used. It is possible to realize a bag making in which the registration marks of the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 coincide with each other and the patterns coincide. However, the upper and lower packaging materials f1 and f2 fed out from the two raw rolls R1 and R2 always have a difference in the printing pitch in the process of forming the packaging material, no matter how precisely the printing pitch is maintained, The registration marks on the upper and lower packaging materials do not continue to coincide with each other, and the pattern shift gradually increases. For this reason, even with this bag making machine 10, control cannot be performed by once combining the symbols of the upper and lower packaging materials at the reference position A. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust and move the registration mark sensor. Therefore, according to the bag making machine 10, the reference position A is observed by viewing the images of the two registration marks displayed side by side on the display 58, and the registration marks having a deviation from the reference position A are observed. Control can be performed by adjusting and moving either one or both of the registration mark sensors corresponding to. That is, by appropriately adjusting and moving the registration mark sensor, the registration mark corresponding to the registration mark sensor on the side of the adjustment movement is stepped and matched, and the tension acting on the packaging material is adjusted, As a result, the registration marks of the upper and lower packaging materials coincide with each other at the reference position A, so that the deviation of the symbols is eliminated and the symbols coincide. In this way, the registration marks of the upper and lower packaging materials match at the reference position A, the state in which the symbols match is maintained downstream from this, the vertical heat seal is applied, and then the horizontal heat seal is applied. Since it is cut, it is possible to realize a bag making in which the pattern of the upper and lower packaging materials and the registration mark are not displaced.

  According to the present invention, the upper packaging is fed from the three original rolls wound with the upper packaging material f1, the lower packaging material f2, and the bottom gusset packaging material f3, which are printed so that the symbols have the same or substantially the same pitch. The material f1, the lower wrapping material f2, and the bottom gusset wrapping material f3 can be made into bags with the same pattern without causing accumulation of minute differences in printing pitch. Therefore, using the three original rolls in which a sealant film is laminated with a dry laminator or the like on a base film on which different designs and registration marks are printed at the same pitch by a gravure printing machine, an unprecedented large size It is possible to provide a bag making machine 10 that can form a bag so as not to cause a design shift. Using a 600 mm wide packaging material separately produced by a small gravure rotary printing press with a printing roll length of 800 mm, equipped with a gravure rotary printing press, a large 600 mm wide bag is made with the same pattern. I can bag it.
