Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to correct a bag position prior to fusion by providing over a belt conveyer a bag posture controller which faces and interferes with a bag being carried to suppress the carry to make the bag stable but which cancels the suppression when forced carry force of the bag in contact with a carry engaging body is applied to the controller. CONSTITUTION:A bag posture controller 80 is placed over a belt conveyer 3 on the way to a sealing device 9. This bag posture controller 80 faces and interferes with a bag being carried to suppress the carry to make the bag stable, but when a carry engaging body 6a is engaged with a side edge of the bag and the bag is to be forced to be carried, the controller 80 cancels the suppression to have the bag passed through. The bag posture controller 80 consists of an elastic interfering body 81 hung from above toward a belt conveyer 6. Thus a fusing line by a sealing device 10 can correctly go along with an expected specific line of an opening rim of the bag.

From before. As a bag for product packaging. A bag made of synthetic resin film and having an opening at one end and a header section at the other end is known.9 This bag is made by melting and welding the edges of the opening after loading the product through the opening. Seal tightly. and. When selling products, they are displayed by hanging the product with the header facing upward. In the past, loading products into bags and fusing and welding the opening edges were all done manually. That is, after a product is loaded into a bag, the bag is held by the operator's hands, and the opening edge of the bag is placed in a heat sealing device, and the opening edge is fused and welded. Conventional heat sealing equipment uses nichrome wire or a heating blade that moves up and down. [Problems to be solved by the invention] In the case of the conventional technology, there is a problem in that product packaging using bags is inefficient and productivity is low. For this reason, there is a desire to automate at least the fusing and welding of the opening edges among the packaging operations. There are still many issues with automatically fusing and welding bags containing products while transporting them. In other words, it is relatively simple to imagine that the above-mentioned demand for movement could be met by automatically welding the opening edge with #A welding using a sealing device while the bag is transported by a conveyor such as a belt conveyor. It can be easily deduced. On this occasion. The bag loaded with products is slid onto the belt conveyor using a sheet, etc. In terms of automation, it is preferable to configure the system so that the bags placed on the belt conveyor are transported as they are to the sealing device. By the way, the bags that are casually slid down the chute are not necessarily placed in the predetermined direction and position with respect to the belt conveyor. Therefore, as a positioning means for the bag, it is preferable to provide conveyance locking bodies that abut against the side edges of the bag and lock in the conveyance direction so as to protrude at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the belt. However, there is no problem if the side edge of the bag is along the conveyance stopper at the moment the bag is slid down from the chute and placed on the belt conveyor. Often, the bag is deviated and dropped without following the transport stopper, or the cough bag straddles the transport stopper. The transport locking body may not function as a means for positioning the bag. As a result, the weld line created by the sealing device did not line up exactly along the planned line of the opening edge of the bag, and the sizes and shapes of each bag after sealing did not match.
This raises the important issue of loss of commercial value. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been developed to solve the above two problems, and a product packaging device based on the present invention includes a guide device for sliding down a bag loaded with products; Equipped with a belt conveyor that receives, places and conveys the dropped bag, and a sealing device that welds the opening edge of the bag while being conveyed by the belt conveyor:
The belt conveyor is constructed by protruding conveyance locking bodies at intervals in the belt longitudinal direction that abut against the side edges of the bags and lock them in the conveyance direction. Conveyance is restrained by interfering with the bags being conveyed above the conveyor to keep the bags stationary, but the restraint is released when forced conveyance force of the bags in contact with the conveyance locking body is applied. It is characterized by: being equipped with a bag body control device. The conveyance control device can be configured by a flexible interference body suspended from above toward the belt conveyor. Furthermore, the product packaging device according to the present invention includes a guide device that slides down the bag loaded with the product, and a belt conveyor that receives, places, and conveys the dropped bag. Equipped with a sealing device that welds the opening edge of the bag during conveyance by a belt conveyor:
The belt conveyor is. Conveyance locking bodies that come into contact with the side edges of the bag body and lock in the conveyance direction are provided protrudingly at intervals in the belt longitudinal direction: on the conveyance path of the bag body before reaching the sealing device, A bag body control device is provided which applies a restraining force to the bag body in opposition and releases the restraining force by detecting that the bag body is locked to the conveyance locking body. ..

A separation plate 60 is fixedly installed between (Structure of chip disposal device) As shown in Figure 1. A chip disposal device 6l is provided further downstream of the sealing device 10 and the stable feeding device 48 in the conveying direction. This chip disposal device 61 is equipped with a disposal path 62 opened on the conveyance table 7 and an exhaust duct 63 facing the disposal path 62, and the exhaust duct 63 is connected to the blower 6.
4 (Figure 2 (A)). [Function] To package products based on the apparatus of the above embodiment, first a large number of bags are placed on the holding table 14 of the working section 8. This bag 65 is a known one, and as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, it is made of a plastic film and has an opening 66 at one end and a header 67 at the other end. As shown in FIG. 8, this header portion 67 is constructed by wrapping a relatively thick reinforcing piece 67a such as a weld line with a film.
It is enclosed in 7b. Furthermore, the bag body 65 is provided with a sealing part 68 that can be opened and closed freely via an adhesive 68a on the film part on the front and back sides, and a holding piece 69 is provided on the film part on the other side by extending from the diary. , a pair of holes 70 are provided in the holding piece 69. As shown in Figure 7, it is desirable to form notches 71a and 7lb on the periphery of the hole 70. Then, a large number of bags 65 are stacked and placed on the holding table 14, and a gate-shaped holder 72 is inserted into the hole 7o of the bag 65 and the holding hole 24 as shown in FIG. 2(B). It is held fixed by doing this. The holder 72 is located below the guide tongue piece 18 of the work table 13. At this time, the header part 67 of the stacked large number of bags 65 is particularly bulky, but as shown in FIG. Since the top layer bag body 65 is held in a flat state. Products to be loaded into the bag body 65, especially small products such as a razor for shaving, are stored on the work table 13, although not shown.
are stocked in the standby section 16. The required amount is placed on the loading section 17. When the blower 21 shown in FIG. 2(A) is operated, air is supplied from below the guide tongue piece 18, and the second
As shown in Figures (C) and 8, the uppermost layer bag 65 has a large opening 66. Therefore, in this state. By sliding the product down from the loading section 17 of the work table 13 along the guide tongue 18, the product can be easily loaded into the bag body 65. After loading the product, the worker holds the bag 65 and moves it to the step 25a.
When the bag 65 is pulled downward, the retaining piece 69 is torn off from the periphery of the hole 70 and separated from the retainer 72, and the header part 67 is separated from the retainer 72.
It slides to the top of the conveyor belt 6 via the slideway 32 with ! do. When the bag body 65 slides down, the guide plate 3
0 and the attitude control plate 32, it jumps toward the impact plate 35, and the header part 67 is hit by the impact plate 35 while descending due to the weight of the loaded product. Due to this impact, the held portion 67 bends upward using the weld line 67b as a hinge and falls. At the falling point, the bending fulcrum is located at the intersection 34b of the regulation plate extension 34a and the conveyor belt 6, and therefore the bent and erected header part 67 maintains its erected state along the regulation body extension 34a. It will be done. Since the belt conveyor 3 is in a driving state, the bag body 65 is conveyed as soon as it falls, and the header section 67 advances along the regulating body 34 during this conveyance. In case. If the standing posture of the header section 67 is insufficient. After the start of conveyance, the header section 67
When the header part 67 is introduced into the conveyance path 41 from the introduction part 42 shown in FIG. .. Therefore, the bag body 65 has both side edges connected to the regulating plate 3.
The posture is maintained perpendicular to 4. By the way, when the bag 65 is dropped onto the conveyor belt 6, the side edges of the bag 65 are not necessarily aligned along the conveyance stopper 6a of the belt. For example, there are cases where the bag 65 is not parallel to the conveyance locking body 6a and is deviated, or a part of the bag 65 is placed astride the conveyance locking body 6a. The bag body 65 deviated in this way. During transport, the bags are aligned in the desired position and direction by the bag control device 80. That is, the bag control device 80 is shown in FIG. 4(A).
Alternatively, in an embodiment configured as shown in FIG. This interference body 81 suppresses conveyance so as to keep the bag stationary (FIG. 3(A)). During this suppression, the conveyor belt 6 continues to be driven in the conveying direction F. The bag body 65 is rubbed on the conveyor belt 6. After the conveyor locking body 6a retreats from the lower surface of the bag 65, it is completely placed on the conveyor belt 6 (FIG. 3(B)).Furthermore, as the conveyor belt 6 advances, it is stopped by the interference body 81. The next conveyance locking body 6a abuts and locks the rear side edge of the bag body 65 that has been tightened (FIG. 3(C)).As a result, the W body 65 follows the conveyor belt 6 and is forced into position. By receiving this forced conveying force, the interference body 81 is elastically deformed, and the bag body 65 passes below the elastically deformed interference body 81 (the third
Figure (C)). Incidentally, in an embodiment in which the conveyance control stop 80 is configured as shown in FIG.
5 will be allowed to pass. By the bag body control device 80 as described above, the side edge of the bag body 65 is made to lie along the conveyance locking body 6a, and the bag body 65 is caused to align with the conveyance locking body 6a.
are made to stand up in an orderly manner within the conveyance path 41. The bag body 65 conveyed by the belt conveyor 3 advances the opening edge on the conveyance table 7, and seals i! It reaches 9. Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the opening edge of the bag body 65 is supported between the correction rail 43 and the rotary body 44, and the opening edge is brought into close contact. The opening can be sealed horizontally. At this time, the bags 65 are aligned in advance along the conveyance locking body 6a by the bag control device as described above. The opening is sealed in a horizontal line shape so that it is perpendicular to the side edge of the bag body 65. Subsequently, the mouth edge of the bag body 65 reaches the stable feed device 48. The opening is kept sealed as described above, and it is advanced while being supported by the vertical rotating body 49.50.
It passes through the sealing device 10. At this time, since the bag 65 is placed along the transport stopper 6a as described above, it receives the rotary fusing blade 56 in a direction perpendicular to the side edge of the bag 65. Also. Since the header portion 67 of the bag body 65 is placed along the regulating body 34, as shown in FIG.
As a result, the distance L from the regulating body 34 to the rotary fusing blade 56 is set to a constant dimension based on the distance L from the welding line 67b. Furthermore, the fusing line is formed parallel to the welding line 67b. At the time of fusing, the opening edge of the bag body 65 is cut by the peripheral fusing part 58 of the fusing blade 56. Subsequently, the melted edge of the opening edge is rubbed by the melted part 59 and progresses.
The fused edge is sufficiently melted to form a lumpy molten resin adhesive portion 66a as shown in Figure 11. That is, the bag body 65 has a molten resin bonded part 66a in a straight line formed in a built-up shape on the welded part. The weld becomes extremely strong. After passing through the sealing device 10, the opening edge separated from the bag body 65 by passing through the separation plate 60 is fed while being sandwiched between one of the endless belts 5lb and 53b. The waste is disposed of in the waste channel 62. On the other hand, the sealed bag 65 is sent from the conveyance end of the conveyor device 3 to a separate packing table or the like. [Other embodiments] (Bending guide device) Regarding the bending guide device 33, the abutment plate 35 was shown above as a specific example, but instead of such a structure, the first
It is possible to construct the cam member 73 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 14. That is, for example, the cam member 73 is connected to the extension portion 34 of the regulating body 34.
a, and includes a support portion 74 that is substantially flush with the top surface of the conveyor belt 6, and a cam portion 75 that expands from the support portion 74 in the conveying direction, and is provided with a cam portion 75 that bulges out from the support portion 74 in the conveying direction. A receiving plate 76 is provided to prevent the header portion 67 from protruding beyond the support portion 74. Then. According to this embodiment, the bag body 65 transferred from the holding table 14 to the belt conveyor 3 is moved from the heft section 67 to the support section 74.
After being supported by the header 67, the header portion 67 is gradually bent and raised by the cam portion 75 as it is transported, and thereafter the erected header portion is transported along the regulating body 34.
Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, there is no need for the guide device 15 provided alongside the slideway 32 as in the above embodiment.
Simply move the bag 65 from the holding table 14 to the support 74.
It doesn't matter what it is as long as it is a means of moving. (Regulating body) Regarding the regulating body 34, in the above embodiment, a plate provided on the frame 2 side was shown. For example, a continuous flange-shaped upright wall may be provided around the conveyor belt 6, and the bent header portion 67 may be held and restricted by this upright wall. In the example shown in the above figure, the conveyance path 41 of the header portion is configured by the guide plate 40 provided along the regulating body 34, but it is possible to configure the conveyance path 41 of the header section without providing such a guide plate 40. Of course, the regulating body 34 may be used alone to form a conveyance path on which the header portion slides.
