[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a horizontal bag-making and filling and packaging machine for transporting and packaging a desired number of packaged objects, which cannot be self-supported and has a bad weight balance, in groups of a required number. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An object to be packaged is sequentially fed into a film formed into a tubular shape through a bag-making machine, and the tubular film enclosing the object to be packaged is longitudinally aligned with the overlapping surface at both longitudinal edges. Horizontal bag-making filling and packaging machine, which is designed to continuously manufacture desired packages by performing a center seal in the direction and then performing end seals and cutting in the horizontal direction before and after sandwiching the tubular film to be packaged, respectively. Is widely known.

There is a demand for the horizontal bag-making filling and packaging machine to collectively package, for example, rice crackers, biscuits and the like, which cannot be self-supported in a standing state, into a required number of group units. Kosho 54-35824
There is an invention "a packaging posture maintaining device of a packaging machine" according to the above-mentioned item.
In this device, a pair of traveling chains are arranged on both sides of the packaging path of the article to be packaged so as to travel at the same speed as the transport speed of the tubular film, and each traveling chain has a required number of articles to be packaged. A plurality of rod-shaped movable holding cylinders for holding the front and the rear in the transport direction in the packaging unit in which the above are arranged are arranged. Further, the movable holding cylinder is configured to move back and forth with respect to the center of the packaging path at an appropriate timing.

That is, when the packaging unit is inserted into the tubular film, the holding cylinders provided in the traveling chains that synchronously travel on both sides of the film advance toward the center of the packaging path and Hold the front and rear positions of the packaging unit from both sides. Then, the package unit is conveyed to the downstream side in a state where the front and rear positions thereof are held in a stable posture by being held by a holding cylinder, and is wrapped with a center seal and an end seal at appropriate positions on the tubular film. Further, the holding cylinder is moved backward from the packaging path at an appropriate timing to release the packaging unit item.

[0005]

In the apparatus described above, it is possible to convey and package a relatively uniform weight balance, such as a rice cracker or a biscuit, while maintaining a stable posture and packaging the weight balance. It becomes difficult when the object to be packaged is uneven. That is, since the holding cylinder that holds the packaged object is rod-shaped, the packaged object often falls down during transportation around the holding cylinder as a fulcrum, which causes "biting" in the end seal part. There was a serious problem that resulted in packaging failure and failure.

Further, since the apparatus is for transporting the packaging unit after being supplied to the tubular film in a stable posture, the packaging unit before being supplied to the tubular film is kept in the stable posture. It is pointed out that there is a need for a separate supply device having a mechanism for holding the front and rear of the packaging unit in order to transport the packaging unit, which increases the manufacturing cost. Furthermore, in the area from the center seal part to the end seal part,
The film and the packaging unit are positively transported only by the center seal mechanism. For this reason, when the packaging unit is a heavy product, stable feeding cannot be achieved only by feeding the mechanism, and there is a drawback that the position of the packaging unit shifts or falls.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems inherent in packaging an object to be packaged having a non-uniform weight balance as described above, and has been proposed to suitably solve the problem. It is an object of the present invention to provide a means capable of always transporting an object to be packaged in a stable posture over the region from the supply of the object to the tubular film to the packaging.

[0029]

Next, the operation of the horizontal bag-making filling and packaging machine according to the embodiment will be described. It should be noted that in the embodiment, a case will be described in which three objects are packaged as a group unit, which is composed of a plurality of containers connected to each other by a collar portion.

An article supply conveyor 2 from a supply source (not shown)
Each of the objects to be packaged 18 supplied to 2 is grouped into threes with the collar portion 18b facing the upstream side, and the group of objects to be packaged 20 is an attachment 28 arranged in the endless chain 26. Is transported toward the downstream side. At this time, since the conveyance path of the article supply conveyor 22 is inclined upward toward the downstream side, each attachment 28
The group of articles to be packaged 20 which is conveyed with its rear end portion in contact with each other is conveyed in a stable posture without losing its posture or falling.

The group of articles 20 conveyed by the conveyor 22 is supplied into the film 16 formed into a tubular shape by the bag making machine 14, and the longitudinal edge of the tubular film 16 is fed by a feed roller. It is transported as it is sandwiched by the pair 32 and is forcibly transported to the downstream side. In addition, the opposed holders 62, 62 arranged in the respective endless chains 54, 54 of the holding mechanisms 40, 40 traveling at the same speed as the transport speed of the tubular film 16 have front and rear end portions of the packaged object group 20. Hold from both sides.

That is, when the holder 62 arrives at the upstream end of the guide member 42 due to the traveling of the endless chain 54, first, the pair of holding members 6 of the holder 62 is first.
The support bars 64, 64 of 0 pass through the gap 48 of the guide member 42. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the slide bodies 68 arranged on the support bars 64, 64 move the first guide surface 44a,
It engages with 46a and moves close to the fixed plate 66 by a predetermined length. By the movement of the slide body 68, the triangular holding plate 74 is pushed through the movable plate 72 toward the center of the transport path to push the tubular film 16 through, as shown in FIG.
As a result, the front end portion of the group of objects to be packaged 20 is stably held by the holding plates 74, 74 that advance from both sides of the transport path. Further, the positioning pin 78 is inserted between the upper and lower containers 18a, 18a of the article to be packaged 18,
8a is prevented from moving (see FIG. 6).

Next, the other holding member 60 of the holder 62 engages with the first guide surfaces 44a and 46a of the guide member 42, and the triangular holding plate 74 advances toward the center of the conveying path as described above. Then, the tubular film 16 is pushed toward the center of the transport path to hold the rear end portion of the package group 20. In this way, the packaged group 20 enclosed in the tubular film 16 has four holding plates 74 and two positioning pins 78 that have advanced from both sides of the transport path at the front and rear ends thereof.
Is conveyed to the downstream side while being held by. The advancing length of the holding plate 74 is adjusted by moving the guide member 42 or exchanging it with one having another specification.

While the holders 62, 62 are moving along the first guide surfaces 44a, 46a of the corresponding guide members 42, the tubular film 1 is moved by the center seal mechanism 30.
A center seal is applied to the longitudinal edge portion of 6. On the downstream side of the center seal mechanism 30, as shown in FIG. 2, since the chain conveyor 80 is traveling at the same speed as the transport speed of the tubular film 16 and the group of objects to be packaged 20,
The tubular film 16 and the packaged group 20 to which the center seal is applied are transported to the downstream side while being supported and supported by the supporting portion 88 of the chain conveyor 80 from below. Further, since the restriction bars 94, 94 facing above the supporting surface are arranged at the front and rear ends of the supporting portion 88, the supporting portion 8
The packaged group 20 supported by the tubular film 16 at 8 is stably transported.

When the package group 20 conveyed by the chain conveyor 80 while being held by the holders 62, 62 arrives just before the end seal mechanism 34, first, the front end portions of the package groups 20 are held. The holding member 60 is the first
The guide surfaces 44a and 46a move to the second guide surfaces 44b and 46b. Thereby, the holding plate 74 and the positioning pin 7
8 further advances toward the center of the transport path, and the tubular film 16
Is largely pushed into the center of the conveying path as shown in FIG. Then, the holding members 60 facing each other have the second guide surfaces 44b, 46
When it is separated from b, the tubular film 16 is end-sealed and cut by the end-sealing mechanism 34. At this time, since both sides of the tubular film 16 are largely pushed toward the center of the conveying path, the gusset 36 shown in FIG.
a is formed. When the slide body 68 is separated from the second guide surfaces 44b and 46b, the slide body 68 is moved by the elastic force of the compression spring 70 in the direction of separating from the transport path, and the holding plate 74 and the positioning pin 78 are cylindrical. The package group 20 is released by separating from the film 16.

Similarly, after each holding member 60 for holding the rear end portion of the group of objects to be packaged 20 pushes the tubular film 16 and separates it from the second guide surfaces 44b, 46b, the tubular film 16 is end-sealed.・ By cutting, as shown in FIG. 7, gussets 3 are provided on both sides of the group of objects to be packaged 20.
The packaging body 36 in which 6a and 36a are formed is obtained. Further, the package 36 is discharged outside the machine as the chain conveyor 80 travels. That is, since the holding plate 74 holding the packaged group 20 also has the function of forming the gusset 36a, it is not necessary to separately provide a gusset forming device.

[0037]

As described above, according to the horizontal bag-making filling and packaging machine according to the present invention, since the conveying path of the articles to be packaged is set to be inclined upward toward the article discharge side, the weight balance is not uniform. Even an object to be packaged can be supplied to the tubular film while maintaining a stable posture. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for holding the posture of the article to be packaged in the article supply device, and the manufacturing cost can be kept low. Further, since the front and rear ends of the group of articles to be packaged enclosed in the tubular film are held by the holding plates, and the group of articles to be packaged is supported and conveyed from below by the conveying means on the downstream side of the center seal portion, The group of objects to be packaged can be supplied to the end seal portion while maintaining a stable posture to perform the end seal. Moreover, since the transport means is provided with the regulating member for regulating the movement of the lower front and rear end portions of the group of articles to be packaged, it is possible to effectively prevent the group of articles to be packaged from falling, and the end seal is provided. There is a beneficial effect such that the occurrence of "bite" in the portion can be reliably prevented.
