Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to screwing, instead of hand-packing a long-sized and resilient elastic food such as raw kelp and raw wakame seaweed with a length of 1000 to 1500 mm into a packaging bag. The present invention relates to a device for filling an encapsulated material of a packaging machine that facilitates this.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a packaging bag a which is supported by a pair of gripping frames of a packaging machine and intermittently rotates, and which is stopped at an enclosure filling station, is a long and bulky envelope such as raw kelp and raw seaweed which cannot be mechanically packed. The thing could not mechanize the packaging, and relied exclusively on hand-filled hand-sealing.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the present invention, as described above, the long ones are 1 meter or more in length, and a long package such as raw kelp and raw seaweed is weighed and filled with a filling station of a packaging machine. The goal is to be able to do so.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in accordance with the above-mentioned object, and a first support provided on a base plate near a filling station of a packaging machine has an upper side protruding projecting object. A filling funnel which is provided with a receiving opening and which can be fitted or raised in the bag opening b of the packaging bag a whose lower end is grasped by the grasping arm is provided to freely move up and down, and the upper end of the filling funnel is attached to the bracket above the second support. The present invention relates to an encapsulation filling device of a packaging machine, which is provided with a filling screw that is loosely fitted and a motor that rotates the screw.

[0005]

The packing filling device of the packing machine of the present invention is provided with the receiving port 16 projecting on the upper side, and further the filling screw 6 is provided.
The rotatably fit and the enclosure filling station
The filling funnel 13 and the filling screw 6 that are fitted in the bag mouth b of the packaging bag a stopped at iii by vertical movement are used to fill an object to be packed such as raw kelp and raw wakame, which can only be hand-packed. Also, there is the convenience that modern packaging can be performed by the packaging machine a that is hung by the gripping arms 2a.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The accompanying drawings show one embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a schematic plan view of the packaging machine, FIG. 2 is a side view of an essential part, FIG. 3 is a front view of the same, FIG. 4 is a plain view of a bracket, and FIG. 5 is a side view of a filling screw.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a packaging machine according to this embodiment, in which 1 is a packaging machine, 2 is a base plate, and the packaging machine 1 is shown in FIG.
As described above, a known gripping arm 1a that matches the number and intervals of stations is provided. When the packaging bag a is filled with an inert gas in addition to the filling with the object c, two right and left packaging machines are connected as described in JP-B-58-52890. The wrapping machine 1 comprises eight stations, and a supply station for the packaging bag a.
i, a filling station iii for the object c, a bag mouth sealing station v, a cooling station vi, a discharging station vii, and the like.

This embodiment relates to the filling of the encapsulated material, and includes a first support column 3 which can be moved up and down through the lower surface of the base plate 2 near the filling station iii and a second support fixed to the base plate 2. The support funnel 13 is provided, and the filling funnel 13 is provided above the second support post 4.
A bracket 5 (FIG. 4) is provided at a higher position, and the bracket 5 pivotally supports a connecting shaft 7 to which a filling screw 6 that descends to just above a bag mouth b of a packaging bag a that stops at a filling station iii is attached to the bracket 5. Mount the piece 8 and the motor M. The connecting shaft 7 is provided with a pulley 10 corresponding to the pulley 9 fixed to the main shaft of the motor M, and a belt 11 is hung on both pulleys 9 and 10 to drive the filling screw 9 in a timely manner.

The packaging machine a is fed by the feeding station i, grasped by the grasping arm 1a, and stopped at a position slightly lower than the lower end of the filling screw 6 by the filling station iii. The filling screw 6 is loosely fitted in the filling funnel 13 and the lower end is covered with the filling funnel as shown in FIGS. The filling funnel 13 is the first one that can be moved up and down as described above.
The arm 14 at the upper end of the pillar 3 is connected to the headband 15 and enters the bag mouth b of the packaging bag a which has been intermittently stopped at the filling station iii as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIGS. To do The vertical movement amount (L) is a small amount as shown in FIG.

The filling funnel 13 has a receiving port 16 for the envelope projecting from the upper side thereof, and the lower end of an oblique discharge gutter 17 is faced there. On the discharge gutter 17, a bucket type conveyor 18 in which a long-sized object such as a raw kelp, a raw seaweed and the like and other objects to be weighed are stored is run and stopped in synchronization with the packaging bag a.

In this embodiment, the filling funnel 13 is movable up and down.
The filling screw 6 is freely rotatably fitted into the bag, the filling funnel is fitted into the bag mouth b as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIGS. 2 and 3, and the weighed object c discharged from the discharge gutter 17 is placed above the filling funnel 13. The filling screw 6 is supplied with the supply port 16 on the side of the filling screw 6 and entangled with the filling screw 6, and is forcibly pushed into the packaging bag a from the bag mouth b for filling. Therefore, it is possible to quickly fill a long and elastic encapsulate c such as raw kelp and raw seaweed to improve the filling ability.

[0012]

As described above, the apparatus for filling an object to be wrapped in the packaging machine according to the present invention is the first one provided on the base plate near the filling station iii of the packaging machine 1.
The lower end of the filling funnel 13 with the receiving port 16 protruding to the upper side of the column 3 can be fitted or moved up to the bag mouth b of the packaging bag a stopped by the filling station iii by being grasped by the grasping arm 2a. And a filling screw 6 corresponding to above the packaging bag a stopped at the filling station, and a motor for rotating the screw in a bracket 5 above the second support 4 fixed to the base plate 2. And M are provided, and the filling screw 6 is loosely fitted to the filling funnel 13, and has the action described in the section of action,
Since long contents such as raw kelp and raw wakame seaweed are bulky, the object to be wrapped which has no means of wrapping other than hand stuffing is converted into machine stuffing with a packaging bag a in which the hem is hung by the gripping arm 1a. There is an effect that can be done.
