Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention provides a spout attachment device for attaching a spout to a container that intersects with the longitudinal center line of the spout holding means of the spout attachment device. The present invention relates to a spout supplying device for feeding spouts one by one from the end of a spout conveying means that is arranged in a direction and continuously conveys spouts to a spout holding means of a spout attaching device.

(Prior art) A box-shaped box with a rectangular cross section with an open top end made of paper whose inner surface is coated with synthetic resin, and after being filled with liquid through the opening at the top end, the top end becomes a gable roof. BACKGROUND ART Liquid containers that are folded into a shape and whose upper opening is finally sealed by heat welding have been widely used as containers for milk, fruit juice, Japanese sake, and the like. In recent years, synthetic resin plugs have been attached from the outside to the sloping flat area of the gable roof of such liquid containers by heat welding.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-4300 discloses a spout attachment device for attaching a spout to a paper liquid container such as the one mentioned above. It extends along a conveyor for conveying filled and sealed liquid containers intermittently at a predetermined speed. The spout supply device includes a widthwise moving member that moves above the conveyor so as to intersect with the conveyor, and a pair of clamping members that are provided on the widthwise moving member and grip the spout at the end of the spout conveyor. ing. The pair of clamping members are driven between an open position and a closed position by a cylinder device. The pair of clamping members are set at the open position at the end of the spout conveying means to receive one spout from the end of the spout conveying means, and are then set to the closed position and held in the conveying means while holding the spout. It is moved toward the upper side of the upper liquid container by the widthwise moving member. During this movement, the widthwise moving member temporarily stops before the pair of clamping means reaches above the liquid container on the conveying means, and during this time the spout is heated by a heating means such as a heater. The widthwise moving member that has started moving again stops moving when the pair of clamping means reaches above the liquid container on the conveying means. At this time, a plug pressing device is disposed above the pair of clamping means, and the plug pressing device starts descending when the pair of clamping means reaches above the liquid container on the conveying means, A spout, already heated as described above, is received from the pair of clamping means and is pressed for welding onto the sloped area of the gable roof of the liquid container on the conveying means.

In order to greatly increase the number of liquid containers that can be fitted with caps per unit time, a rotary type in which a large number of cap press devices are arranged on a concentric circle and a part of the concentric circle is positioned on the conveying means. Spout attachment devices are also well known in the art. In this conventional rotary plug device, the plug is sequentially supplied to the multiple plug pressing devices while the multiple plug pressing devices rotate on a concentric circle, and the plug pressing device that holds the plug is The spout is heated by the device passing over a heating means such as a heater, and the spout pressing device holding the heated spout is lowered at a position where the concentric circle intersects the conveying means above the conveying means. The heated spout is pressed against the liquid containers that are successively conveyed on the conveying means for welding.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the conventional spout supply device known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-4300, the spout at the end of the spout conveying means is connected to the liquid container on the conveying means. The time required for welding is not only because the pair of clamping members must be opened and closed at two locations: at the end of the spout conveying means and above the liquid container on the conveying means, but also because the pair of clamping members must be opened and closed at two locations, at the end of the spout conveying means and above the liquid container on the conveying means. While moving from the end of the stopper conveying means to above the liquid container on the conveying means, it must be temporarily stopped above the heating means, and furthermore, from the end of the stopper conveying means to above the liquid container on the conveying means. The distance from the end of the spout conveying means to the top of the liquid container on the conveying means must be relatively long because a heating means is placed in between, and it cannot be significantly shortened. . Therefore, it is not possible to significantly increase the number of liquid containers to which plugs can be attached per unit time.

The conventional rotary spout attachment device as described above greatly increases the number of liquid containers to which spouts can be attached per unit time compared to the spout supply device known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-4300. However, the conventional rotary plug mounting device as described above has to be large in size due to the arrangement of a large number of plug pressing devices concentrically.
In addition to using a large number of plug pressing devices, the vertical movement means provided in each of the many plug pressing devices is synchronized with the rotation speed of the concentric circles and the transport speed of the liquid container on the transport means. The structure is complicated because it requires synchronization means to move it up and down.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention was made under the above circumstances, and the purpose of this invention is to shorten the heating time of the spout and to heat the spout and weld it to the liquid container on the conveying means. In order to greatly increase the number of liquid containers that can be fitted with the caps per unit time by pressing the caps at the same time, an ultrasonic horn or When high-frequency heating means are used, an ultrasonic horn or high-frequency heating means can be used to connect the end of the stopper conveying means to a port such as an ultrasonic horn or high-frequency heating means, so as not to impair the significant increase in the number of liquid containers that can be fitted with stoppers per unit time. To provide an inexpensive spout supplying device which not only can efficiently, quickly and reliably supply spouts one by one to a spout holding means of a faucet mounting device, but also has a simple and compact configuration. That's true.

The purpose of this invention as described above is to provide a spout that is disposed in a direction intersecting the longitudinal center line of the spout holding means of the spout attachment device for a spout attachment device for attaching the spout to a container, and to connect the spout continuously. A spout for receiving and holding the spout from the end of the spout conveying means, one by one, from the end of the spout conveying means conveyed by the spout to the spout holding means of the spout attaching device.

This can be achieved by a spout supply device characterized by comprising: a connecting member guide means for moving toward the spout holding means;

(Function) In the spout supplying device according to this invention characterized by being configured as described above, after the spout receiving member receives and holds the spout from the end of the spout conveying means, the linear driving force operating means drives a connecting member connected to the linear drive force actuating means and the spout receiving member. The connecting member driven by the linear drive force operating means is guided in the moving direction by the connecting member guiding means, so that the spout held in the spout receiving member connected to the connecting member is moved by the spout attachment device. The spout holding means is moved in a direction intersecting the longitudinal center line of the spout holding means until it substantially coincides with the longitudinal center line, and then moved toward the spout holding means in a direction along the longitudinal center line. is maintained.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, the spout supply device according to this invention is as follows: The longitudinal center line of the spout holding means of the spout attachment device with respect to the spout attachment device for attaching the spout to the container. A device for supplying the spout one by one from the end of the spout conveying means arranged in a direction intersecting with the spout and continuously conveying the spout to the spout holding means of the spout mounting device. A spout receiving member that receives and holds the spout from the end of the means; and one linear driving force actuating means that applies a driving force in a linear manner;
A connecting member connected to the linear driving force actuating means and the spout receiving member: guides the moving direction of the connecting member driven by the linear driving force actuating means, and connects the spout held by the spout receiving member to the spout. The stopper attaching device is moved in a direction intersecting the longitudinal centerline of the stopper holding means until it substantially coincides with the longitudinal centerline, and then moved toward the stopper holding means in a direction along the longitudinal centerline. Since the device is characterized in that it is equipped with a connecting member guide means, the heating time of the spout can be shortened, and the heating of the spout and the pressing of the spout for welding to the liquid container on the conveying means can be performed at the same time. In order to greatly increase the number of liquid containers that can be plugged per unit time, when using an ultrasonic horn or high-frequency heating means that has the functions of both a heating means and a pressing member, From the end of the cap conveying means to the cap holding means of the cap attaching device, such as an ultrasonic horn or high-frequency heating means, so as not to impair the significant increase in the number of liquid containers that can be capped per unit time. Not only can the supply of the spout one by one be performed efficiently, quickly, and reliably, but the structure is simple, compact, and inexpensive.

To explain in more detail, here, from the time the spout receiving member receives the spout from the end of the spout conveying means to the time when the spout is supplied to the spout holding means of the spout mounting device, The spout holding means is continuously moved in two directions: a direction intersecting the longitudinal center line and a direction along the longitudinal center line, and the movement in these two directions is performed by one linear driving force operating means. This is accomplished by guiding the movement of the connecting member connected to the spout receiving member and the linear driving force operating means while the connecting member guide means generates a linear driving force.

That is, one linear driving force operating means does not stop generating linear driving force during the movement in the above two directions, and therefore the connecting member, and by extension the spout receiving member, and the spout conveying means. The movement does not stop during the movement from the distal end of the spout to the spout retaining means of the spout attachment device. Therefore, the spouts can be efficiently and quickly supplied one by one from the end of the spout conveying means to the spout holding means of the spout attaching device. This allows the closure attachment device to provide a significant increase in the number of containers to which closures can be attached per unit time.

Further, since only the connecting member, the connecting member guide means, and one linear driving force actuating means are required to move the spout receiving member in two directions, the structure is simple and the operation is reliable.
