DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A vertical bag making, filling and packaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 (a), 1 (b), 1 (c) and 1 (d). In this vertical bag making and filling method, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a continuous web U is hung on a former 1, bent along the former 1, and passed through the inside of the former 1. The product drop-filling cylinder 2 is folded up into a tubular shape so as to wrap it, and both edges u of the web, which is fitted to the front side of the product drop-filling cylinder 2, are folded up and vertically sealed by the back sealer 3 to form a packaging cylinder H, and the packaging cylinder is pulled down. The packaging tubes H are pulled down by the devices 4 and 4 so as to enclose the different-diameter cylinders 2a and the rectangular cylinders 2b whose horizontal cross-sections forming the lower part of the product drop-filling cylinder 2 change from circular to rectangular. Next, the vertical seal u of the packaging tube H
When viewed from the front, a pair of triangular (same shape as FIG. 2 (c)) square floor forming gusset claws 5b, 5b are brought closer to each other below the product drop filling cylinder 2 when viewed from the left and right sides in a plane direction. At the same time, the pair of vertical gusset claws 6, 6 are separated from each other on the square bed forming gusset claws 5 b and are brought closer to each other in synchronization with the approach of the square bed forming gusset claws 5 b, so that the square bed The gussets g ₁ and g ₁ for forming and the gussets g ₂ and g ₂ for the upper part of the bag are put. In particular, in the present invention,
The pair of square bed forming gusset claws 5b, 5b are horizontal plates having no inclination, and are horizontally moved closer to each other at the lower end of the product drop filling cylinder 2, and at this time, the web U The packaging cylinder H is allowed to descend only by the dimension of the package H. Gusset claw 5b for forming square floor is web U
As a method of permitting the lowering of the packaging tube H by the dimension that sticks to the package, the packaging tube pulling-down device 4 is configured to be driven by an independent servomotor, and the servomotor provides a large pitch dimension [= (for one bag). Gusset claw 5b for forming length-square floor
), The servo motor is stopped for a short period of time, and the gusset claw 5b for forming a square bed starts to stick to the web U to form a square bed. When the gusset claw 5b comes into contact with the web U, the servomotor is driven to drive the small pitch dimension [=
The size of the gusset claw 5b for forming the square floor is attached to the web U]. The packaging tube pulling-down device 4 may be separated from the product dropping and filling tube 2 for a short time to allow the packaging tube H to be lowered by an amount such that the gusset claw 5b for forming a square floor sticks to the web U. . The reason that the packaging tube H is allowed to descend only by the size that the gusset claw 5b for forming a square bed sticks to the web U is to prevent the pair of gusset claw 5b for forming a square bed from breaking through the web. is there.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), a direction perpendicular to the opening / closing direction of the gusset claws is located between the pair of square gusset claws 5b, 5b and the pair of vertical gusset claws 6, 6 in the height direction. A pair of end sealers 7 and 7 facing each other and a cutter 8 attached to one end sealer 7 are closed to perform end seal cutting, thereby forming a square floor. At this time, the pair of end sealers 7, 7 are brought closer to each other, and the upper surface of the end sealer 7 is
, The inner surface portion of the web folded into a triangle between the end sealer 7 and the gusset claw 5b for forming the square floor is tightly sealed. The point in time when the gusset claw 5b for forming a square floor comes into contact with the web U and enters the web U is substantially the same as the point in time when the end sealers 7, 7 contact the web U and flatten the packaging tube H.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the pair of square bed forming gusset claws are separated from each other, and the pair of end sealers 7, 7 are closed after the end seals are opened to open the packaging bag P. Is dropped, and the rib folded plate 11 provided just below the upper surface of the one end sealer 7 is placed in the product drop filling cylinder 2.
The bottom seal rib L formed by the end sealers 7 and 7 is horizontally lowered by horizontally moving the actuator 12 until it passes through the middle of the product drop filling cylinder 2 at the lower end. At this time, since the bottom seal rib L is sufficiently heated by the end sealers 7, 7,
The rib folded plate 11 allows the bottom seal rib L to be folded laterally without difficulty. At this time, the heat of the bottom seal rib L is transmitted to the rib folding plate 11, and the bottom seal rib L is cooled and remains folded horizontally.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1 (d), when the packaging tube pulling-down device starts pulling down the packaging tube H, the articles to be packaged (granules) dropped through the product drop-filling tube 2.
W is filled in a packaging bag formed with a square bed. Since the inner surface portion of the web folded into a triangle forming the square bed portion is tightly sealed between the end sealer and the gusset claw for forming the square bed, the packaged object (powder or granular material) U may enter there. In addition, even if the article to be packaged W is filled, the square floor portion is kept smooth.

[0010]

As described above, according to the vertical bag making, filling and packaging method of the present invention, the triangle forming the square bed portion between the end sealer 7 and the gusset claw 5b for forming the square bed is formed. Since the inner surface of the web to be folded is tightly sealed, the packaged object does not enter the triangular fold of the square floor, and the rib folded plate 11 provided on one end sealer 7 is connected to the pair of end sealers 7, Bottom seal rib L which has moved horizontally after opening 7 and is sufficiently heated
