Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Automatically select a required former from a large number of formers. [Structure] A plurality of identification small holes 4 ₁ to _n are provided in a part of a former body 1 of a vertical pillow packaging machine used for bending a long packaging material into a tubular shape, and these identification small holes are provided. 4 It is possible to select the required former by identifying the size, shape or specifications of the former depending on whether or not light is transmitted from ₁ to _n .

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a former used in a vertical pillow packaging machine.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For the former of the vertical pillow packaging machine that bends the long packaging material that has been sent into a cylindrical shape, various sizes are available according to the size of the bag to be molded, and even the same size of the former can be stored. It is necessary to make a distinction based on the difference in the seasoning of the food used, the printing applied to the packaging material, or the packaging material.

Therefore, when parameters are selected from the menu, the number of items becomes several tens, which makes it difficult to select a required former. For example, even though a 5-inch menu is selected, There was a problem that could cause inconvenience such as the use of a 0.5-inch former.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a new former for a vertical pillow packaging machine that does not cause incompatibility between the selected former and the bag to be molded. It is in.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 That is, the present invention, as a former in a vertical pillow packaging machine for achieving such a problem, has a plurality of identifiers that can be read by a sorting device on a part of a former body that bends a long packaging material in a tubular shape. Is provided.

[0006]

【Example】

 Therefore, the embodiment illustrated below will be described. FIG. 1 shows a former according to an embodiment of the present invention. As is well known, the former main body 1 includes a guide plate 2 for bending the packaging material into a tubular shape, and a bolt for a support frame (not shown). It is constituted by the left and right wing portions 3, 3 which are suspended and supported via the wing portions 3.

Reference numerals 4 ₁ to _n are some identification small holes formed in the wing portion 3 of the former main body 1. These identification small holes 4 ₁ to _n are, for example, 32 formers to be prepared. In such a case, all or part of the designated 5 parts of the wing part 3 are provided in ²⁵ combinations, and as shown in FIG. by positioning between the elements 7 group, configured so that the size and shape of the formers 2 ⁵ ways I by the presence or absence of transmission of light from the small hole 4 ₁ ~ _n for each identification specifications can identify It is being touched.

A large number of formers configured in this manner are placed and stored at predetermined positions, for example, on jig fixtures. When it becomes necessary to select a former having a size and shape suitable for the food to be stored or the packaging material used in this state, first select the photoelectric detector of each former mounting part. The signal from these light receiving elements 7 is input to the code conversion circuit by operating.

On the other hand, in the code conversion circuit, the signal input here is converted into 32 binary codes, and the formers of the same size are selected based on the codes of different sizes stored in the ROM in advance. To do. On the other hand, the data processing circuit receives the required signal from the keyboard for each shape or use of the framer. Therefore, when the size selection signal is input from the code conversion circuit, the code or number of the corresponding former is displayed on the display. Select or select the former with the desired size and shape by either displaying it or by turning on the lamp on the appropriate former mount.

In the above description, a photoelectric detector is provided in each former mounting portion so that a former having a desired size and shape can be selected, but it is provided as a part of the sorting device. It is also possible to pass the wing portion 3 of each former main body 1 through the optical detection mechanism so as to select a required former, and when such a selection method is adopted, the former is selected. it is also possible to replace the small holes 4 ₁ ~ _n identification provided in the main body 1 to the barcode or the like.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since a plurality of identifiers that can be read by the sorting device are provided in a part of the former body, by reading the identifiers attached to the former, the size, shape, and specifications can be changed. The required former can be selected accurately and automatically from a large number of formers, and the troublesome manual selection work can be omitted, and the former can be prevented from being mistaken for selection and installation mistake.
