Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a shooter for dropping the contents of a bag-in-box into an outer box such as a cardboard box of a flexible container.

(Prior art and problems) Conventionally, baggage containers are made by housing a flexible container containing contents in an outer box made of a cardboard box.
In the case of an in-box type container, the flexible container a is conveyed on a conveyor b as shown in the explanatory view of FIG. 3, and is placed from a shooter c into an outer box d made of a cardboard box. At this time, the outer box is on a platform that moves upward from the bottom, and at the same time as it rises, it hits the inwardly downwardly inclined surface _c1 of the side of the shooter, opening its flap _d1 , and the flexible container a is placed in a cardboard box. It is thrown into an outer box consisting of At this time, the outer periphery of the flexible container and the inner surface of the shooter often come into close contact with each other, causing the container to stop midway.Especially if the contents are at a low temperature, dew condenses on the outer surface of the flexible container and tends to adhere to the inner surface of the shooter, causing condensation inside the cardboard box. I can't get comfortable with it.
This phenomenon cannot be completely resolved by changing the angle of inclination of the inner surface of the shooter or coating the inner surface with a low-friction material.

(Purpose of the invention) The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional shooters and to provide a shooter that can correctly drop a flexible container into an outer box such as a cardboard box without stopping midway. It is something to do.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention was made for the above purpose,
In a shooter for storing a flexible container containing the contents of a bag-in-box in an outer box such as a cardboard box, a guide plate is provided between the side edges of the front plate and the rear plate, and the The plate has an open part at the center of the lower edge, and the guide plate is inclined inwardly and downwardly, and has a large number of parallel rollers between two frames located at the side edges of the front plate and the rear plate. The main points are as follows.

(Function) Since the present invention has the above-described structure, a flexible container containing contents (mainly liquid) is conveyed on a conveyor and is thrown into an outer box such as a cardboard box via a shooter. In this case, both sides of the shooter are sloped inward and downward, and serve as bearing plates for a number of rollers parallel to the guide plate, and this slope opens the flap of the outer box, allowing the flexible container to bulge out with its contents. The container is dropped into the outer box without getting stuck or slipping on the inner surface of the shooter.

(Example) The present invention will be specifically explained below with reference to the illustrated example. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of the shooter of the present invention, in which a flexible container a containing contents is conveyed to a shooter c by a conveyor b, as in the conventional example shown in FIG. Reference numeral 1 denotes a front plate of the shooter c, the upper end of which is higher than the roller, and an open part 2 provided at the center of the lower edge. Further, both side surfaces are inclined inwardly and downwardly, and a large number of parallel rollers 4 are provided between two guide plates 3 and two frames 6, and each roller rotates freely. Furthermore, it consists of a rear plate 5 whose upper end is at the height of the roller and whose lower edge is located at the same position as the front plate.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the flexible container sent down from a conveyor or the like moves while being guided downward by a large number of rollers. Since there is an open part at the center of the lower edge of the front plate of this shooter, even if the flexible container expands, the bulge bulges outward from the open part, so that tight contact can be achieved between the front plate and the back plate. This has excellent practical effects, such as eliminating problems with chute work.
