Description

The present invention relates to a technique for a filling and sealing device for an extraction bag with a support, and more specifically, the support is provided by the filling device while sandwiching both edges of the extraction bag with a support and horizontally transporting the bag in a suspended state. The present invention relates to a filling sealing device for an extraction bag with a support, which is carried out by sealing the upper end of the extraction bag with a support filled with the material to be extracted with a sealing device after filling the extraction bag with a predetermined amount of the material to be extracted.

Conventionally, when extracting a favorite beverage such as coffee by a drip method, an extraction bag with a support is used in which a thick paper support is attached to a filter bag body. This type of extraction bag with a support is manufactured by a filling sealing device that fills a filter bag body with a powdery material to be extracted such as coffee or tea and seals the upper end of the filter bag body. As a configuration of the conventional filling and sealing device, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, a support tool is provided while sandwiching both edges of an extraction bag with a support tool and horizontally transporting the bag in a suspended state. It is known that the extraction bag is filled with a predetermined amount of the material to be extracted, and then the upper end of the extraction bag with a support filled with the material to be extracted is sealed and carried out.

By the way, in the conventional filling and sealing device, a filling device adopting either auger type filling or a measuring mass type filling is usually used, and although the auger type filling is excellent in the accuracy of quantitative discharge of the material to be extracted. In particular, when it is used for filling coffee (powder) as a material to be extracted, the material to be extracted is easily pulverized due to contact between the materials and its own weight. Filling devices are often used.

However, in the conventional filling seal device, in the filling device that employs the measuring mass type filling, when coffee (powder) is filled as the material to be extracted, fine powder particles may enter the gaps of the movable members around the measuring mass. If it adheres, seizure may occur due to powder biting, so maintenance work for removing fine powder particles is required, and there is a problem that continuous filling cannot be performed stably. In particular, coffee (powder) has a somewhat large average particle size (0.5 to 1.0 mm) as a powder body, but since oil is contained in the components, fine powder is formed on the movable members around the measuring mass. Particles tend to adhere, and proposals for solving this problem are sought.

By doing so, the material input port 36a to be extracted is blocked, the measuring mass 37a is cut, and a predetermined amount of the material M to be extracted from the measuring mass 37a is fixed chute 32 (and the movable nozzle) via the material discharging port 38a to be extracted. It is configured to be discharged in 33).

The connecting plate 36 is formed as a long plate-like member, is fixed at a position below the corresponding opening 30a of the hopper 30, and the opening 30a and the material input port 36a to be extracted are connected in an internal communication manner to form a hopper. The material M to be extracted in 30 is sorted and charged into the material input port 36a of the corresponding connecting plate 36.

The connecting plate 36 is integrally assembled with the support plate 38 formed as a long plate-like member having a gate-shaped cross section in the vertical direction, and the measuring plate 37 described later is inserted into a longitudinal space formed at a distance from the support plate 38. (See Fig. 5 etc.). The support plate 38 is formed with a material discharge port 38a to be extracted at a position that does not overlap with the material input port 36a to be extracted in the connecting plate 36 in the vertical direction.

The measuring plate 37 is formed of a general-purpose resin known as a long plate-shaped member having a rectangular cross section. As the material of the measuring plate 37, various engineering plastics such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin and super engineering plastics are preferably used in addition to the polyacetal resin from the viewpoint of excellent self-lubricating property and fatigue resistance.

As described above, the measuring plate 37 is arranged at a distance between the connecting plate 36 and the support plate 38, the upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the connecting plate 36, and the lower surface and the side surface are the upper surface and the inner surface surface of the support plate 38. It is arranged in a state where the four peripheral side surfaces are surrounded by plate-shaped members. The measuring plate 37 is connected to the slide moving device 39 configured as a cylinder device in a state where the connecting plate 36 and the supporting plate 38 are separated from each other, and the moving rod of the slide moving device 39 advances and retreats in the horizontal direction. By being moved, the contact surfaces (upper and lower surfaces and side surfaces) can slide and move in the horizontal direction along the longitudinal direction while sliding in contact with the connecting plate 36 and the support plate 38.

The measuring plate 37 has a measuring mass 37a formed vertically penetrating in a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction, and the measuring mass 37a is directly below the material input port 36a of the connecting plate 36 by the slide moving device 39 (FIG. The relative position is switched between 5 (a)) and the state (FIG. 5 (b)) directly above the material discharge port 38a to be extracted from the support plate 38a. Further, the measuring plate 37 of this embodiment is configured so that the volume of the measuring mass 37a can be adjusted by expanding and contracting the adjusting rod 40 to displace it.

In particular, in the measuring plate 37 of the present embodiment, a flat flat concave portion 37b recessed inward from the edge portion along the longitudinal direction is formed in the central portion of the upper and lower surfaces, and the measuring plate 37 is formed in the central portion of the side surface in the longitudinal direction. A flat side surface recess 37c that is recessed inward from the edge portion is formed along the edge. The measuring plate 37 of the present embodiment has a flat concave portion 37b whose contact surface between the connecting plate 36 and the support plate 38 is a flat upper and lower surface in a state where the connecting plate 36 and the support plate 38 are arranged at a distance from each other. It is an edge portion excluding the excluded edge portion and the flat side surface recess 37c on the side surface.

The flat surface recess 37b and the side surface recess 37c are formed so that the central flat surface portion is lowered inward by the step D1 and the step D2 in the central direction from the upper and lower surfaces and the side edge portions of the measuring plate 27 (see FIG. 9). The steps D1 and D2 are formed so as to be at least smaller than the average particle size of the material M to be extracted, and are covered with an average particle size of 0.5 to 1.0 mm, for example, coffee (powder) or the like. When the extraction material M is used, it is preferably formed so as to be 0.2 to 0.4 mm smaller than this.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixed chute 32 is fixed at a position below the support plate 38 of the measuring unit 31, and the upper opening is located directly below the corresponding material discharge port 38a to be extracted. The lower opening is inserted into the corresponding movable nozzle 33, and the material M to be extracted whose volume is measured by the measuring unit 31 is supplied to the fixed chute 32 via the measuring mass 37a, and the movable nozzle 33 is supplied from the fixed chute 32. It is dropped and supplied to the extraction bag 1 with a support.

The movable nozzle 33, the suction opening / closing unit 34, and the arm expansion / contraction unit 35 are connected to a drive motor 41 as a power source arranged at a lower position of the filling seal device 100 so as to be able to transmit power via link mechanisms 41a to 41c, respectively. It is configured to perform predetermined repetitive movements (vertical movement, rocking, horizontal movement, etc.).

The movable nozzle 33 is arranged so as to be vertically movable at a position below the fixed chute 32, and is fixed to one end of a support arm 42 which is arranged so as to be reciprocally movable in the vertical direction. The movable nozzle 33 is reciprocated in the vertical direction by transmitting the power of the drive motor 41 to the support arm 42 via the movable nozzle link mechanism 41a.

The suction opening / closing portion 34 is located below the fixed chute 32 and is arranged at a distance from the holding body 18 described above, so as to sandwich the extraction bag 1 with a support supported by the holding arm 18a of the holding body 18. A pair of suction nozzles 43 and 43 are arranged at opposite positions, and each suction nozzle 43 is fixed to one end of a suction arm 44 oscillating in the left-right direction (arrow Y direction). The suction nozzles 43 and 43 are swung in the opposite directions in the left-right direction by transmitting the power of the drive motor 41 to the suction arm 44 via the suction nozzle link mechanism 41b.

The arm expansion / contraction portion 35 is arranged at a position below the holding body 18 described above, and an expansion / contraction plate 45 capable of contacting the lower end of the holding arm 18a of the holding body 18 is arranged, and the expansion / contraction plate 45 reciprocates in the horizontal direction. It is connected to a movably arranged slider device 46. The expansion / contraction plate 45 is reciprocated in the horizontal direction by transmitting the power of the drive motor 41 to the slider device 46 via the expansion / contraction plate link mechanism 41c.

Next, the operation method of the filling device 12 in the filling sealing device 100 of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 10.

In the filling device 12 of the present embodiment, first, in the measuring unit 12, the measuring plate 37 is made to stand by in the slide moving device 39, and the measuring mass 37a is made to stand by directly under the material input port 36a of the connecting plate 36. The material M to be extracted in the hopper 30 is charged into the measuring mass 37a through the material input port 36a of the connecting plate 36, and the material M to be extracted is filled in the measuring mass 37a (see FIG. 5A). .. Further, the possible nozzle 33 stands by at an upper position, the suction nozzles 43 and 43 stand by at a position having a distance, and the expansion / contraction plate 45 stands by at a position where it does not abut on the holding body 18 (holding arm 18a). (See Fig. 4).

Eventually, when the extraction bag 1 with a support is conveyed by the transfer device 10, the measuring plate 37 is slid and moved by the slide moving device 39 to block the material input port 36a to be extracted, and the surplus overflowing from the measuring mass 37a. The material M to be extracted is cut into squares by the lower surface of the support plate 36, and the material M to be extracted is volumetrically measured by the volume value of the measuring mass 37a. Then, when the measuring mass 37a is cut, the measuring mass 37a is moved directly above the material discharge port 38a to be extracted from the support plate 38a, and from the measurement mass 37a to the fixed chute 32 via the material discharge port 38a to be extracted. It is supplied by dropping (see FIG. 5 (b)).

At this time, with the holding body 18 holding the extraction bag 1 with the support stopped at a predetermined position, the suction arms 44 and 44 are swung, and the suction nozzles 43 and 43 support the extraction bag 1 with the support. The tool 1b is attracted and held and moved to a position where the opening of the filtration bag body 1a is widened in the left-right direction, and the slider device 46 is moved so that the expansion / contraction plate 45 comes into contact with the holding body 18 and the holding arms 18a and 18a. The opening of the filtration bag body 1a of the extraction bag 1 with a support is expanded by reducing the distance between the two (see FIG. 10).

Then, by moving the movable nozzle 33 downward in conjunction with the above, the material M to be extracted, which is inserted into the filtration bag body 1a of the extraction bag 1 with a support and is dropped and supplied to the fixed chute 32, is a movable nozzle. It is filled deep into the filtration bag body 1a of the extraction bag 1 with a support via 33 (see FIG. 10).

After the filling is completed, the movable nozzle 33 and the expansion / contraction plate 45 are immediately returned to their original positions, and the suction nozzles 43 and 43 suck and hold the support 1b of the extraction bag 1 with the support. After being moved to the position where the opening of 1a is closed, it is returned to the original position.

As described above, the filling seal device 100 of the present embodiment sandwiches both edges of the extraction bag 1 with a support and horizontally conveys the bag 1 in a suspended state, while the filling device 12 transfers the filling bag 1 to the extraction bag 1 with a support. After filling a predetermined amount of the material M to be extracted, the sealing device 13 seals the upper end of the extraction bag 1 with a support filled with the material M to be extracted and carries it out. In the filling device 12, the hopper 30 for storing the material to be extracted M, the measuring unit 31 for volumetrically measuring the material M to be extracted supplied from the hopper 30 through the material input port 36a, and the measuring unit 31. A fixed chute 32 and a moving nozzle 33 for filling the weighed material M to be extracted into the extraction bag 1 with a support are provided, and the measuring unit 31 is formed as a long plate-like member that can slide and move in the horizontal direction. A measuring mass 37a into which the material M to be extracted in the hopper is charged is formed through the material input port 36a to be extracted, and a flat concave portion recessed inward from the edge portion along the longitudinal direction in the central portion of the upper and lower surfaces. A measuring plate 37 on which 37b is formed is provided, and by sliding the measuring plate 37, the material input port 36a to be extracted is blocked, the measuring mass 37a is cut into masses, and a predetermined amount is obtained from the measuring mass 37a. Since the material M to be extracted is discharged to the fixed chute 32 and the moving nozzle 33, the material to be extracted can be stably and continuously filled with a simple structure.

That is, in the filling seal device 100 of the present embodiment, in the filling device 12, a measuring plate 37 is provided in the central portion of the upper and lower surfaces so that a flat concave portion 37b recessed inward from the edge portion along the longitudinal direction is formed. When the measuring plate 37 is slid and the measuring mass 37a is cut, the flat recess 37b acts as a groove (slit) for powder escape to prevent the material M to be extracted from being pulverized. In particular, when coffee (powder) is filled as the material to be extracted M, fine powder particles may enter or adhere to the gaps of movable members (for example, connecting plate 36, support plate 38, etc.) around the measuring mass 37a. Since it is possible to prevent seizure due to powder biting, maintenance work is simplified and continuous filling can be performed stably.

In particular, in the filling sealing device 100 of the present embodiment, the measuring plate 37 is formed so that the step D1 between the flat concave portion 37b and the edge portion is at least smaller than the average particle size of the material M to be extracted. It is possible to surely prevent the pulverization and powder biting of M.

Further, since the side concave portion 37c in which the measuring plate 37 is recessed inward from the edge portion along the longitudinal direction is formed in the central portion of the side surface, the contact surface (sliding contact surface) between the measuring plate 37 and the support plate 38 is formed. It is possible to effectively avoid seizure due to powder biting, and to improve the slidability and the stability of continuous filling.

Further, the filling portion 12 is provided with a fixed chute 32 and a movable nozzle 33 that is arranged so as to be vertically movable at a position below the fixed chute 32, and the movable nozzle 33 is moved downward when the material M to be extracted is filled. Since it is inserted into the filtration bag body 1a of the extraction bag 1 with a support, the material M to be extracted can be supplied inside the filtration bag 1a of the extraction bag 1 with a support by the movable nozzle 33. Therefore, the material M to be extracted can be reliably filled, and the fine powder particles can be prevented from scattering and adhering to the sealed portion, so that the product quality can be improved.

Further, since the filling device 12 includes a suction opening / closing unit 34 that is attracted to the support 1b of the extraction bag 1 with a support to open and close the filter bag body 1a, the filter bag body 1a of the extraction bag 1 with a support is provided. Can be reliably opened, the material M to be extracted can be reliably filled, and fine powder particles can be prevented from scattering and adhering to the sealed portion, so that the product quality can be improved.

The configuration of the filling seal device 100 is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes can be made as long as the object of the present invention is not deviated.

That is, in the filling device 12 of the above-described embodiment, the measuring plate 37 is formed of a resin material, and a flat flat concave portion 37b recessed inward from the edge portion along the longitudinal direction is formed in the central portion of the upper and lower surfaces. In addition, the configuration in which a flat side surface recess 37c recessed inward from the edge portion along the longitudinal direction is formed in the central portion of the side surface has been described, but the configuration of the measuring plate 37 is not limited to this. At least, in order to ensure sliding contactability, the edges that come into contact with the connecting plate 36 and the support plate 38 may be formed of a resin material such as polyethylene resin or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin.

For example, like the measuring plate 37 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a rod-shaped edge having a rectangular cross section is formed of a general-purpose steel material (SS400 or the like) and is formed of a resin material at each of the four corners in a cross-sectional view. The member 37d may be arranged and configured. The edge member 37d is brought into contact with the connecting plate 36 and the supporting plate 38 in a state where the measuring plate 37 is arranged at a distance between the connecting plate 36 and the supporting plate 38, and the flat concave recesses 37b and the side surfaces on the upper and lower surfaces are flat. Is formed so that the flat side surface recesses 37c of the above do not come into contact with each other. In the case of such an embodiment, the protruding heights of the edge member 37d with respect to the upper and lower surfaces of the measuring plate 27 and the central plane portion of the side surface correspond to the step D1 and the step D2 of the flat recess 37b and the side recess 37c, respectively.

Further, in the filling device 12 of the above-described embodiment, the material M to be extracted in the hopper 30 is volume-measured by the measuring unit 31, and the suction opening / closing unit 34 and the arm expansion / contraction unit 35 are measured via the fixed chute 32 and the movable nozzle 33. The filter bag body 1a is configured to fill the opened extraction bag 1 with a support, but the device configuration of the filling device 12 is not limited to this, and for example, the suction opening / closing section 34 has a support. When the filter bag body 1a of the extraction bag 1 is opened, the support by the holding arm 18a (clip portion 18b) of the holding body 18 is released, and a shatterproof or antistatic resin member is attached to the tip of the movable nozzle 33. In order to prevent the extraction bag 1 with a support from falling off during the filling operation and the configuration, a support device or the like that supports the extraction bag 1 with a support from below may be provided.

Further, in the filling seal device 100 of the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the supply device 11, the filling device 12, the sealing device 13, and the unloading device 14 are arranged in this order has been described, but the device configuration of the filling sealing device 100 is limited to this. However, for example, the material M to be extracted is filled and sealed, and the extraction bag 1 with a support is filled with a defective discharge device for eliminating a sealing defect or a measurement defect, or before the extraction bag 1 with a support is sealed. An adjusting device or the like for adjusting the filling state of the material M to be extracted may be provided.
