Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a supporting conveyance device that is effective for bags used in various high-speed filling and sealing lines for soft drinks and the like, particularly for self-supporting bags (hereinafter referred to as standing pouches).

Conventional bag filling and sealing work consists of: ■The filling mechanism and sealing mechanism required for the machine, as well as the bag opening/closing/detaching mechanism, are each built into the machine.
Furthermore, before filling/sealing, the bag does not have the ability to stand on its own and retain its shape, and fills and seals using a common mechanism while moving intermittently, which limits the speed and the capacity of one machine to handle up to 30
The limit is 60 bags/minute to 60 bags/minute or 120 bags/minute in a two-row system.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a bag supporting and conveying device that is applicable to high-speed filling and sealing lines.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG.

The bag supporting and conveying device A of the present invention can be manufactured from stainless steel, plastic, aluminum, iron, or any other material, and includes a rectangular cylindrical plate 1 consisting of a bottom plate X and a cylindrical wall body y.
U-shaped grooves 2a and 3a for inserting and holding both side seam parts α1 and α2 of the inflated standing pouch α are formed by attaching the lower part of the back side to the center of the inner surface of the front and rear cylinder walls 1a and 1b of the cylinder board 1. While the front and rear bag fixing members 2 and 3 of the cross section are established facing each other, the left and right cylinder walls 1 in the left and right direction from the center of the cylinder board 1 are
c, 1d The right dorsal and ventral surfaces α3 and α4 of the inflated standing pouch α are held in shape at the upper ends of the left and right support members 4 and 5, which are respectively erected relative to each other near the central plane, and the opposing surfaces 6a and 7a are formed into arcuate surfaces. The set screws 8 and 9 are inserted into the long holes 6b and 7b extending in the left-right direction of the left and right side receiving pieces 6 and 7 formed on the inclined guide surfaces that asymptotically approach each other downward. It is attached by screwing together so that the position can be adjusted and set in the left and right directions.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the cylindrical disc 1 is rectangular, and as in the bag supporting and conveying tool B of another embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the cylindrical disc 1 is
It is also possible to make the cylinder wall 1'' round, or to make the cylinder wall 1'' oval as in the bag supporting/conveying tool C of the other embodiment shown in FIG. 7, or to make it square or polygonal within the spirit of the present invention. be done.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, first, the flat standing pouch α' shown in FIG. 3 is made into an expanded standing pouch α using appropriate means as shown in FIG. An expanded standing pouch α is dropped from directly above the bag supporting and conveying tools A, B, and C of the present invention passing on a conveyor (not shown), and at this time, both side seam portions α1 of the standing pouch α, α2 is positioned and inserted into the grooves 2a and 3a of the front and rear pouch fixing members 2 and 3, and the normal dorsal and ventral surfaces α3 and α4 are guided and regulated by the opposing surfaces 6a and 7a of the left and right belly receiving pieces 6 and 7, as shown in FIGS. It is stored and held upright as shown in Figure 7.

In this way, when the bags supporting and conveying tools A to C are sent to the high-speed filling machine and arrive directly below the filling nozzle, they rise independently and integrally with the standing pouch α that was accommodated and held, and the contents are filled from the opening α5 and the bags become independent again. Then, it descends and is then sent to a high-speed sealing machine, where the opening α5 is heat-sealed or impulse-sealed.

The standing pouch α held in this way by the present invention
Since then, it has become possible to process the standing pouch α in the same way as bottles and can containers, so the opening and closing of the standing pouch α and the setting mechanism of the standing pouch α according to the present invention are similar to the filling and sealing line for bottles and can containers. The high-speed sealing machine is separated from the high-speed sealing machine and installed separately, allowing the layout to be freely connected to each other in an integrated line, increasing the filling back speed, which is more than twice as fast as the conventional type.
It becomes possible to achieve a capacity of 0 bags/min or more.

1. The standing pouch α is the bag supporting and conveying device A. of the present invention. - Since it is set in the center of C, it is easy to position any filling nozzle centered on the opening α5 of the standing pouch α, and the alignment with the filling nozzle is performed smoothly, ensuring that the contents are always the same. Even if something spills out of the opening α5 due to spillage or the like, it will be collected by the cylindrical disks 1, 1', 1'' and will not contaminate machines, conveyors, etc.

Furthermore, if the cylindrical discs 1 and 1'' of the bag supporting and conveying devices A and c are rectangular or oval, they can be conveyed with the direction always constant, and the high-speed sealing machine is always required to maintain a constant feeding posture. When applying a type of standing pouch α' with different internal volume and dimensional standards, heat the locking screws 8 and 9 and insert the left and right receiving pieces 6 and 7 into the long holes 6b. , 7b in the left and right direction to adjust and set the mounting position, and then fix it again with the locking screws 8 and 9, which provides excellent effects.
