Description

The present invention relates to a packaging bag container used in a mass packaging system that enables unmanned operation by continuous supply of a large number of packaging bags.

Packaging machine manufacturers have developed packaging machines to handle the packaging of large quantities of products at once. As an example, a bag supply apparatus for a packaging machine that can stock a large number of packaging bags to supply the packaging bag to the packaging machine has been developed (see Patent Document 1). However, in the case of carrying out a large amount of continuous packaging even with the bag feeder of the packaging machine as in Patent Document 1, the bag supply cassette packed with the packaging bags must be constantly replaced with a new one. There is a problem that the bag feeder of the machine is not suitable for a large amount of continuous packaging.

Furthermore, the distribution of a conventional general packaging bag is as follows. A packaging bag manufactured by a packaging material dealer (processor) is stored in a cardboard box and delivered to a user (manufacturer of product packaging). An employee had to transfer the packaging bag from the cardboard box to the bag feeder of the packaging machine. Moreover, as a disadvantage of using such cardboard boxes for distribution, it is not suitable for automation of packaging, the cardboard boxes have to be treated as industrial waste, and a binding material for binding bag bundles is required. In addition, there were problems such as generation of paper dust and sanitary problems due to the use of cardboard boxes, unsuitability for reuse, and poor long-term storage.

In order to solve the above problems, a mass packaging system has been developed. FIG. 22 is a schematic view showing the automatic bag take-out and supply system of Patent Document 2. This automatic bag take-out and supply system stores a predetermined number of bags made at a bag making factory in a bag transport magazine 3, and stacks a predetermined number of the bag transport magazines 3 on a pallet and transports them to a filling factory. Then, the bag transport magazine 3 depalletized from the pallet is supplied by the main transport conveyor 2 to the magazine transport conveyor 2A of a plurality of filling lines (3 lanes in FIG. 22).

A bag automatic take-out and supply device 4 according to Patent Document 2 is arranged at the front end of each magazine transfer conveyor 2A, and the bag automatic take-out and supply device 4 takes bags one by one from the bag transfer magazine 3 that has reached the front end. Take out, supply to the tray 7 conveyed by the bag supply conveyor 6 to the filling and packaging machine 5, convey the tray 7 to the supply position of the filling and packaging machine 5 by the bag supply conveyor 6, and supply to the filling and packaging machine 5 To do. The bag supply conveyor 6 is configured to circulate between the filling and packaging machine 5 and the bag automatic take-out and supply device 4, and the empty tray 7 is conveyed again to the take-out position from the bag automatic take-out and supply device 4. It is like that.

As shown in FIG. 23, the bag transport magazine 3 of the automatic bag take-out and supply system of Patent Document 2 is formed in a rectangular box shape having an upper portion opened by a vertical wall 3A, a horizontal wall 3B, and a bottom wall 3C. A penetration hole 3D through which a cam member and a pusher can enter is formed in the vertical wall 3A and the subsequent bottom wall 3C, and a bag passage hole 3E is formed at the end of the horizontal wall 3B.

Patent Document 2 is a system that can continuously supply a large amount of packaging bags to a filling and packaging machine, and this automatic bag take-out and supply system can automate packaging. Moreover, since the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 uses the bag transport magazine 3 instead of cardboard, there is also an advantage that industrial waste is not discharged.

JP 2007-290768 A JP-A-8-295314

If the bag transport magazine 3 of Patent Document 2 is used, the problem of industrial waste is solved because it is not necessary to use corrugated cardboard. However, the upper part is opened, and the entry hole 3D and the bag passage hole 3E are provided. The formed bag transport magazine 3 cannot be directly flowed to the distribution channel. That is, there is a problem that it is not suitable for transportation because it cannot be stacked in addition to sanitary problems due to contamination due to adhesion of dust and dirt to the packaging bag being transported.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problem, and does not require a packaging box such as cardboard, and a packaging container that can store and distribute a bag made in a bag making factory as it is. It is intended to provide.

The present invention is a packaging bag container used in a mass packaging system for storing a bag bundle in which packaging bags are bundled, and the container for a packaging bag has a storage portion that is open at the top and stores the bag bundle. The main body and a partition body provided in the container main body for raising the bag bundle. The container main body is formed such that the upper opening is fitted into the bottom of the upper container main body, and the bottom is the bottom of the lower container main body. It is formed so as to fit into the upper opening, and can be stacked. In the container main body, the partition body is erected vertically or inclined, and the bag bundle is formed from the upper opening of the container main body. the so fingers of the robot arm of the bag bundle delivery device does not interfere with the container body and the partition member is extracted, the said with a space in the container body, characterized in that.

The packaging bag container can be stacked and placed on the distribution channel by the above configuration, can prevent dust and dust, is hygienic, and can be used in a mass packaging system. Since it is used instead of corrugated cardboard, there is an advantage of not discharging industrial waste. Moreover, by not using corrugated cardboard, it becomes easy to sterilize the packaging bag and improve hygiene, and to prevent the generation of paper dust. Furthermore, the cost can be reduced and the amount of garbage can be reduced by reducing the bag binding material for binding the packaging bags.

Example 4
FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing an example of a partition for a packaging bag container used in the mass packaging system of Example 4, and FIG. 15 is an overall perspective view showing a packaging bag container in which the partition is fitted into the container body. is there. Although the configuration of the partition 4b is also different in the fourth embodiment, the configuration of the container main body is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore the same reference numerals are used in the drawings to omit detailed description. The middle partition 4b of the fourth embodiment is composed of a substrate 4b1 and a partition 4b2. The partition 4b2 is formed by two slits 4b4 formed in a vertical direction on two rectangular plates, and the partition 4b2. 4b2. In addition, this partition 4b2 is formed in a taper shape by scraping the corner of the upper end, and the bag bundle b is filled in the slit 4b4 between the partitions 4b2.

The partition 4b2 is fitted into a plate-like substrate 4b1 standing upright. That is, a fitting recess 4b5 for fitting the partition 4b2 in the vertical direction is formed on the substrate 4b1, and an end of the partition 4b2 is fitted in the fitting recess 4b5 in the vertical direction. Support pieces 4b6 are erected on both ends of the substrate 4b1 to support the partition 4b2. The partition 4b having such a configuration is fitted into the container body 1a. In addition, although the partition body 4b2 is erected vertically, the slit 4b4 may be formed so as to be inclined obliquely as in the third embodiment. In addition, it is the same as the said Example 1, 2, 3 that the individual information tag 8 for traceability is provided also in the surrounding wall 1a2 of this container 1 for packaging bags.

(Example 5)
16A is a plan view of a packaging bag container used in the mass packaging system of Example 5, FIG. 16B is a front sectional view of the container, and FIG. 16C is the container. It is side surface sectional drawing. FIG. 17 is a front sectional view showing a state in which a bag bundle is filled, and FIG. 18 is a side sectional view showing a state in which the bag bundle is filled. In the fifth embodiment, the same partition 3b as that of the third embodiment is used as the partition, but the container body is different. The container main body 5a has a depth twice, and is configured such that the middle partition 3b can be installed on the upper stage. A locking projection 5c is formed around the inner center of the peripheral wall 5b of the container main body 5a, and the upper middle partition 3b is suspended by this locking projection 5c. The lower middle partition 3b is fitted into the bottom of the container body 5a.

In addition, although the partition 3b of Example 3 was used for the partition of Example 5, the partition 2b of Example 2 may be sufficient and the partition 4b of Example 4 may be sufficient. The fifth embodiment is also the same as the first embodiment in that the individual information tag 8 for traceability is embedded in the external measurement of the peripheral wall 5b of the container body 5a.

Next, filling of the bag bundle b into the packaging bag container 1 common to the first to fifth embodiments will be described. In general, packaging bag manufacturers produce packaging bags from rolls and send them to packaging material dealers (processors). The packaging material dealer processes the packaging bag, binds it with a binding material, forms a bag bundle b, packs it in cardboard, and carries it out. However, in the present invention, the packaging bag container 1 is directly filled into the packaging bag container 1 without carrying out the packaging bag with the binding material.

The packaging bag container 1 has a structure in which the bag bundle (packaging bag) b is filled in a rough state without regulating, and a structure in which the bag bundle (packaging bag) b is regulated and filled. The structure that does not regulate the bag bundle b means a structure that fills the container main bodies 1a and 5a in a rough state without arranging the packaging bags, and the structure that regulates and fills the bag bundle b is packed by filling the packaging bag. A structure in which bags are arranged. In the former configuration in which the packaging bag is filled in a loose state that is not restricted to the container main bodies 1a and 5a, the container main bodies 1a and 5a are formed in a large size and are surrounded by the partition 1b2, the inner partitions 2b, 3b, and 4b. Storage space is widened. The structure in which the latter bag bundle b is regulated and filled is a structure in which the container main bodies 1a, 5a, the partition 1b2, and the inner partitions 2b, 3b, 4b are matched to the dimensions of the packaging bag.

In the packaging bag container 1 having a structure in which the former bag bundle b is filled without restriction, the height and width of the bag bundle b are not shifted after the non-aligned bag bundle b is taken out from the packaging bag container 1. Then, they are aligned by a packaging bag aligning device (not shown) and transferred to a bag box or a conveyor type packaging bag supply device. Similarly, when the front and back of the packaging bag are different, they are also aligned by the packaging bag aligning device and transferred to the bag box or the packaging bag supply device.

In the packaging bag container 1 having a structure that regulates the latter bag bundle b, a pair of partition bodies 1b2, middle partitions 2b, 3b, and 4b are erected in the front-rear direction with an appropriate interval inside the container main bodies 1a and 5a. Since the bag bundle b is regulated and stored in the peripheral walls 1a2 and 5b, the partition wall 1a3, the pair of front and rear partitions 1b2, and the middle partitions 2b, 3b and 4b, the packaging bag container 1 is filled with the packaging bag Then, it is neatly arranged and becomes a bundle b.

In addition, the structure which regulates the bag bundle b like the latter can release the static electricity which generate | occur | produces at the time of manufacture to the packaging bag container 1 at the time of manufacture of a packaging bag. As described above, the material of the packaging bag container 1 is usually a synthetic resin. However, by using a conductive material or kneading a conductive material into the synthetic resin, the generation of static electricity is further increased. Can be prevented. In this way, the packaging bag container 1 is filled with the bag bundle b, placed on the distribution channel, and delivered to the food manufacturer or the like who is the user.

Next, the use state of the packaging bag container 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a plan view showing an example of a mass packaging system. Of course, the packaging bag container 1 is not limited to the mass packaging system having such a configuration. The mass packaging system 10 of FIG. 20 shows a system in which a filling and packaging machine 11 is arranged in a work space. The mass packaging system 10 is, for example, a system for packaging food, food raw materials, etc., and in a work space, a container carry-in / out device 12, a bag bundle delivery device 13, a bag box or a conveyor type packaging. A bag supply device 14, a filling and packaging machine 11, and a carry-out conveyor 15 are installed.

The container carry-in / out device 12 is provided with a belt conveyor 12a at the upper part, and the bag bundle b is placed in the bag while the packaging bag container 1 is placed on the upstream side of the belt conveyor 12a and accumulated and transported. It is supplied to the packaging bag supply device 14 via the bundle delivery device 13. A large number of packaging bag containers 1 are arranged on the belt conveyor 12a of the container carry-in / out device 12, but the packaging bag containers 1 may be in a stacked state. A large number of packaging bag containers 1 containing, for example, packaging bags consumed overnight can be placed on the container carrying-in / out device 12, or the packaging bag containers 1 can be placed in an automatic warehouse (not shown). The shortage may be stored and supplied to the container carry-in / out device 12 by a transfer robot (not shown).

The bag bundle delivery device 13 is disposed between the container carry-in / out device 12 and the packaging bag supply device 14, and supplies the bag bundle b in the packaging bag container 1 to the packaging bag supply device 14. The bag bundle delivery device 13 uses an articulated robot or the like, and supplies the bag bundle b stored in the packaging bag container 1 to the bag box or the conveyor type packaging bag supply device 14. The packaging bag supply device 14 stocks the bag bundle b, takes out the packaging bags one by one, and supplies them to the filling and packaging machine 11 side. FIG. 20 illustrates the rotary filling and packaging machine 11.

The rotary filling and packaging machine 11 includes a pair of clamp arms on the periphery of a circular rotor, and sandwiches both side edges of the packaging bag between the clamps at the tip of each clamp arm. The filling and packaging machine 11 opens the bag mouth of the packaging bag, fills the packaging bag with the article to be packaged, and seals the bag mouth with a sealer. The packaging bag whose bag mouth is sealed is carried out by the carry-out conveyor 15 from the carry-out section. Further, an alignment conveyor 16 is disposed at the rear end portion of the carry-out conveyor 15, and a packing operation is performed in a further downstream packing space.

Next, the traceability of the packaging bag container 1 configured as described above will be described. Traceability is a system that clarifies the production history of when, where and how food is made, and how it arrives at the table, triggered by frequent occurrences of food safety threats. FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram for explaining traceability in the packaging process. The packaging bag container 1 is placed on the container carry-in / out device 12 shown at the left end. As described above, the IC chip of the individual identification tag 8 is embedded in the packaging bag container 1. A relay transmission / reception device 17 is erected on the side of the belt conveyor 12a, and a signal is sent from the transmission / reception device 17 to send an instruction to send information in the individual identification tag 8 to the transmission / reception device 17 side. The signal transmitted from the individual identification tag 8 is received by the transmission / reception device 17 and transmitted to the packaging machine control device 18.

In the packaging machine control device 18, the information in the individual identification tag 8 is stored in the packaging machine server 19. This information is also transmitted to the head office server 21 through the network 20 and stored as information for traceability. In addition to the information on the packaging bag, the headquarter server 21 includes all information such as package data, such as the manufacturer of the package, the date of manufacture, the type of package, the raw material, the distributor, and the distribution channel. Is stored. Such information can be shared through the network 20.

The information of the packaging machine server 19 is used in the filling and packaging machine 11 in addition to being sent to the headquarter server 21 and stored as described above. That is, since the individual identification tag 8 in the information includes the size and type of the packaging bag as described above, it is judged whether the type of the packaging bag is incorrect or the packaging bag is suspended and held. The distance between the pair of clamp arms of the filling and packaging machine is automatically adjusted based on the information on the dimensions of the packaging bag. Note that the above traceability is merely an example.

By using the packaging bag container 1 as described above, the packaging operation can be automated. In addition, a cardboard box is not required as in the prior art, and there is a merit that reduction of industrial waste, sterilization of packaging materials, and high hygiene can be facilitated and generation of paper dust can be prevented. In addition, since a bag binding material that is bundled and bound as in the prior art is not required, the cost can be reduced and the generation of dust can be prevented. And the packaging container of the said Example can be wash | cleaned and can maintain high hygiene even if it uses repeatedly. Furthermore, since the light-shielding property and the airtightness are maintained, deterioration of the bag bundle b and water absorption are suppressed, and the packaging bag can be stored for a long time. Furthermore, the generation of static electricity can be suppressed and the adsorption of dust onto the packaging bag can be reduced. Further, by providing the individual information tag 8 for traceability, appropriate information management of the packaging bag becomes possible.

The present invention is useful, for example, in a mass packaging system that enables unmanned operation by continuously supplying a large number of packaging bags.
