The present invention relates to a separate packaging apparatus for a particulate matter, a packaging apparatus having the separate packaging apparatus, and a method for producing a package using the packaging apparatus. In particular, the present invention relates to a pressurizing device for pressing a tube filled with a particulate matter and a sealer for sealing the tube in a transverse direction in which the packing device operates with a time difference.

In the particulate matter having the adsorption capacity represented by the spherical adsorption coal, the amount of air contained in the particulate matter is large and the amount varies greatly with temperature, so that air is released from the particulate matter by the temperature rise after separation and packaging. The separated packaging may expand, causing problems in box packaging, storage, transportation, and the like. In particular, since the spherical adsorbed coal has a shape close to a real sphere, the fluidity is high, and if air remains in the separated package, the spherical adsorbed coal moves within the separated package, and thereafter, the separated package is separated by the temperature decrease of the separated package. There is a problem that there is no air in the inside of the product, and when the package is torn to open the separated packaged product in the closed state, the spherical adsorption coal inside is popped out.

Therefore, countermeasures, such as filling a spherical adsorbed coal at high temperature or sealing it with the pressure below atmospheric pressure, are proposed (refer patent document 1).

Embodiment of the Invention

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment of this invention is described with reference to drawings. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same or corresponding apparatus mutually, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

First, with reference to the schematic diagram of FIG. 1, the spherical adsorption coal separation packaging apparatus 100 which is 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The separate packaging device includes a filling device 30, a sealing device 40, and a pressing device 50.

The filling device 30 includes a chute pipe 31. The chute pipe 31 has a wide funnel shape in order to receive the particulate matter measured by the amount to be separately packaged from a metering device (not shown), and the lower portion is thin to feed the particulate matter into the tube 90. It is a tube. The lower end of the chute pipe 31 is open. The particulate matter naturally falls in the chute pipe 31.

The sealing device 40 is provided in the position below the lower end of the chute pipe 31. The sealing device 40 has the top seal bar 41 which heat-presses the tube 90. The top seal bar 41 is comprised so that the tube 90 may be pinched from both sides, while the two metal blocks which the front end was flattened in order to heat-press the tube 90 are heated by a heater. The timing at which the top seal bar 41 fits the tube 90 is controlled by the sequencer 46 as a control device. The signal from sequencer 46 carries a cable and is passed to seal device driver 42. The seal device driver 42 brings the two top seal bars 41 closer together by the signal, until they push each other. The top seal bar 41 is configured to move the length of one separate packaging up and down.

Immediately below the seal device 40, the fitting device 50 is provided. The presser device 50 has two air vent guides 51 for fitting the tube 90 containing the particulate matter and the presser device driver 52. The two air vent guides 51 are paired. The surface which presses the tube 90 of the air bleed guide 51 is formed with the elastic body 51a. Rubber or sponge is used as the elastic body 51a, but other elastic bodies such as synthetic resin may be used. Alternatively, the entire air vent 51 may be formed of a metal such as stainless steel without having the elastic body 51a. In that case, deformation due to elasticity of the pressing surface cannot be expected, but durability is improved. The upper side protrudes and the shape which the lower part entered into the surface which presses the tube of the air vent guide 51 is pressed.

The timing at which the air bleeding guide 51 fits the tube 90 is controlled by the sequencer 46. The signal from the sequencer 46 is transmitted to the presser driver 52 via a cable. The fitting device driver 52 moves the two air bleeding guides 52 close together from each other by the signal. In addition, the air bleeding guide 51 also moves up and down like the top seal bar 41 described above.

Subsequently, the operation of the separate packaging apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The tube 90 forms a flat tape-like sheet in a tubular shape so as to surround the lower end of the chute pipe 31, and heat-presses the overlapped portion. The tube 90 is sealed in the transverse direction at a predetermined portion by the sealing device 40 as described later. The tube 90 becomes a bag shape with the said sealed part as a bottom, and is opened in the shape which opened the entrance toward the lower end opening part of the chute pipe 31.

The spherical adsorption coal measured by the metering apparatus which is not shown in figure is dropped in the bag | tube tube 90 from the chute pipe 31, and is piled up in the bag-shaped lower part. Since the spherical adsorbed coal has a substantially real spherical shape and fluidity is good, the spherical adsorbed coal will be scattered when it is opened unless it is collected at the bottom of the bag and the upper part is not empty. Therefore, it piles up in a bag-shaped lower part and leaves the upper part empty.

When the spherical adsorption coal is filled in the tube 90, the presser driver 52 is operated by a signal from the sequencer 46, so that the air bleeding guide 51 is a bag-shaped portion of the tube 90. Insert from both sides. When the bag-shaped portion of the tube 90 is fitted into the air bleeding guide 51, the air inside is pushed out. The presser driving device 52 is provided with a sub-motor, and the air bleeding guide 51 is discharged at a speed such that the spherical adsorption coal in the tube 90 does not flow and air is quickly released. 90), the speed of the air bleeding guide 51 is adjusted. In addition, the air bleeding guide 51 is fitted by the sub-motor to insert the tube 90 at an appropriate surface pressure and to push out the air inside.

In addition, since the upper surface protrudes and the lower portion enters the shape in which the tube 90 of the air vent guide 51 is pressed, the particulate matter is formed in the gap between the bottom of the pair of air vent guide 51. Is put in. Moreover, although the shape of the surface which presses the tube 90 of the air vent guide 51 into the plane which has a recessed part in the lower part is easy in manufacture, it may be a shape which has the curved surface according to the shape of the separate packaging after sealing. . Further, in the upper portion, the air bleeding guides 51 are pushed to each other so as to be in contact with each other so that the particulate matter does not exist in the tube 90.

Moreover, since the surface which presses the tube 90 of the air bleed guide 51 is formed with the elastic body 51a, such as rubber | gum or a sponge, when the tube 90 is pressed, the shape of the part which a particulate matter entered is Even if slightly changed, the pressing surface is deformed. Therefore, the air can be pushed out reliably and the tube is not damaged.

And since the surface which presses the tube 90 of the air bleeding guide 51 is formed with the elastic body 51a, the quantity of the spherical adsorption coal to package differs, or the kind of the granular material to package differs, Even if it is possible to use it as it is except to replace only the part of elastic body 51a, it is preferable.

Almost at the same time as the air vent guide 51 presses and ends the tube 90, the seal device driver 42 is operated by a signal from the sequencer 46, so that the top seal bar 41 is driven by the air vent guide. In (51), the part immediately above the air releasing part is inserted in the transverse direction. The top seal bar 41 is driven by a seal device driver 42 different from the air bleed guide 51. Since the seal device driver 42 has a submotor, the top seal bar 41 fits the tube 90 at a surface pressure suitable for sealing. That is, since the air bleeding guide 51 and the top seal bar 41 are driven by separate drivers, they can be fitted at appropriate timings, appropriate speeds, and appropriate surface pressures, respectively. The top seal bar 41 is heated by a heater (not shown), and the tube 90 is sealed in the transverse direction and sealed by being inserted into the top seal bar 41. Moreover, since the tube 90 uses the multilayer film which has a sealable plastic film in an inner layer as a material, it can heat-compress by inserting it into the heated top seal bar 41. As shown in FIG.

Since the air seal guide 51 inserts the tube 90 and pushes out the air a little later than the operation of the press device 50, the top seal bar 41 inserts and seals the tube 90, The air in the tube 90 can be deflected reliably.

This slight parallax can be adjusted by the sequencer 46 so as to obtain an optimal time. For example, when preparing 40 separate packagings for 1 minute, i.e., pressing 40 times in one minute and sealing 40 times, the time difference is 0.05 to 0.15 seconds, preferably 0.07 to 0.12 seconds. .

In addition, the sequencer 46 not only controls the operations of the top seal bar 41 and the air bleeding guide 51, but also controls the movement of the entire apparatus as described below.

The top seal bar 41 in which the tube 90 is fitted moves downward by one length of the separated packaging with the tube 90 fitted. By this movement, the seal portion in which the spherical adsorption coal is sealed becomes the bottom of the next bag-shaped portion of the tube 90. The top seal bar 41 and the air bleed guide 51 are supported by the same girders not shown, and move in succession to the movement of the top seal bar 41, and the air bleed guide 51 also moves.

As described above, the separated packaging product separated and packaged by the spherical adsorption coal packaging apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has little air remaining in the separated packaging, and is used to separate and package the spherical coal adsorption coal. desirable.

Here, the separated package means one bag sealed by containing the particulate matter, and the packaged product means a state in which the separated package is cut from the seal portion every one or more and extracted from the packaging device. .

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the tube 90 is sequentially and intermittently sent out by pulling the downward direction while the sealing device 40 is sandwiched in the tube 90, but the tube 90 is different. It is sent continuously to the apparatus, and the sealing apparatus 40 and the press device 50 may move up and down according to the movement of the tube 90. FIG. Alternatively, the sealing device 40 and the pressing device 50 do not move up and down, and while the tube 90 is sequentially sent to the other device, while the sealing is pressed and stopped, the feeding of the tube 90 stops. It is good also as a structure.

Next, with reference to the schematic diagram of FIG. 2, the packaging apparatus which is 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. Fig. 2 shows a packaging device for spherical adsorption coal provided with a separation packaging apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

On the separate packaging apparatus 100, the hopper 10 and the metering apparatus 20 are provided. The hopper 10 is a container in which the opened upper part becomes wider and narrows as it goes down, and the lower end is opened and is in contact with the filling nozzle 16. The heater 12 is provided in the hopper, and the spherical adsorption coal which is the contents of a hopper is heated at 60-80 degreeC. Alternatively, the spherical adsorption coal may be heated to 60 to 80 ° C through the warm air from the heating apparatus in the hopper 10.

The filling nozzle 16 under the hopper 10 is a narrow tube, and is configured to gradually send spherical adsorption coal stored in the hopper. The filling nozzle 16 may be provided with a flow rate adjustment valve (not shown), and the opening and closing thereof may be controlled by the sequencer 46. The lower end of the filling nozzle 16 is inserted into the through hole 22a of the holder 22 and is open.

The holder 22 is combined with a metering container 21 reciprocating horizontally beneath it and a shutter 24 beneath it, and a spring 23 for pushing the holder 22 to the metering container 21 beneath it. ) And the metering device 20 is configured. The spring 23 is provided in order to prevent the spherical adsorption coal from entering and damaging the surface by bringing the holder 22 and the metering container 21 into close contact with each other. The spring 23 may not be provided.

The metering container 21 has a volume 21a of a volume suitable for the volume of the spherical adsorbed coal to be metered. The space 21a is in communication with the through-hole 22a of the holder 22, and the measuring container 21 is moved horizontally and is in communication with the through-hole 24a of the shutter 24. The lower opening of the through hole 24a of the shutter 24 is in contact with the chute pipe 31.

Below the opening part of the chute pipe 31, the sealing apparatus 40 and the press device 50 mentioned above are provided.

Under the press device 50, the cutting device 60 which cut | disconnects the separated packaging goods 91 containing the spherical adsorption coal one by one or several pieces, and uses it as the package 92 is provided. The cutting device 60 is comprised so that two blades may fit the tube 90 and cut | disconnect. In addition, in the package 92 in which the separated packaging articles 91 are connected several times, a sewing machine scale may be put in the seal | sticker part which is not cut | disconnected so that it may be peeled off by hand, and the cutting device 60 is a blade for cutting. In some cases, the blades are notched at the same intervals with the blades operating at different timings. The operation of the cutting device 60 is also controlled by the sequencer 46.

Under the cutting device 60, the base 61 is arrange | positioned. The base 61 obliquely drops the package 92 cut | disconnected with the flat plate installed at an angle, and softens the impact at the time of fall. The pedestal 61 is provided with a shock prevention roller 62 for further reducing the falling speed. The shock prevention roller 62 is provided so that the package 92 may pass between two cylindrical rollers when the package 92 slips and falls on the base 61. As shown in FIG. Since the package 92 rotates a roller as it passes between the two rollers, the fall speed is reduced. In addition, the roller of the shock prevention roller 62 may be one, and instead of providing the shock prevention roller 62, a method for reducing the falling speed, for example, increasing the friction on the pedestal 61 Measures may be taken for this purpose.

At the end of the pedestal 61, a cooling device 70 is provided. As the cooling device 70, a holder 72 for holding the package 92 in an oblique position on the conveyor 71 is arranged to move with the movement of the conveyor. The holder 72 may be a plate which is installed obliquely on the conveyor 71, or may be a rod. The holder 72 holds the thin surface of the package 92 perpendicular to the moving direction. By holding in this way, many packages 92 can be hold | maintained with the same conveyor length. At the end opposite to the position of the pedestal 61, the package 92 falls naturally to the position where the conveyor 71 reverses. The naturally dropped package 92 enters a container for packaging the package 92 and is packaged and shipped.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the manufacturing method of the package 92 of spherical adsorption coal is demonstrated. The spherical adsorption coal is supplied to the hopper 10 from the opened upper portion and temporarily stored in the hopper 10. The spherical adsorption coal stored in the hopper 10 is heated to 60 to 80 ° C by the heater 12 while being stored. When the temperature rises after packaging, air is released from the spherical adsorbed coal, and as a result, the separation package is prevented from expanding, in order to be packaged after raising to the highest temperature expected in advance.

The spherical adsorption coal gradually descends into the hopper 10 and flows from the lower end to the filling nozzle 16. In the filling nozzle 16, a flow regulating valve for adjusting the amount to be sent is provided, and an appropriate amount of spherical adsorption coal is sent. The inside diameter of the filling nozzle 16 may be selected so that the quantity sent from the hopper 10 may be appropriate.

The spherical adsorption coal is stored in the space 21a of the measuring container 21 through the holder 22 from the filling nozzle 16. When the space 21a is filled with the spherical adsorption coal, the metering container 21 moves horizontally, and the spherical adsorption coal in the space 21a passes through the through hole 24a of the shutter 24, and the chute pipe Are sent to (31). The spherical adsorption coal is metered by the metering device 20 in the volume of the space 21a.

The spherical adsorbed coal measured as described above is filled in the tube 90 from the chute pipe 31 each time it is measured. As for the tube 90 containing spherical adsorption coal, air is pushed out by the press device 50 as mentioned above, it is sealed by the sealing apparatus 40, and it becomes the separated packaging 91. As shown in FIG.

The separated packaging 91 is cut at the seal portion by the cutting device 60, for example, integrating one or three bags. In the case where a plurality of separate packaging articles 91 are integrated and cut into one piece, the seal portions between the respective separate packaging articles 91 are inserted by the blades notched at equal intervals on the blades by hand. A sewing machine scale may be attached to make it easier to peel off.

The package 92 cut | disconnected by the cutting device 60 falls down on the base 61, and falls to the cooling device 70 after the fall speed is decelerated by the shock prevention roller 62. FIG. Since the fall speed to the cooling device 70 is slow, it is possible to prevent the seal at the bottom of the package 92 from being damaged by the impact during the fall. The package 92 sent to the cooling device 70 is moved on the cooling device by the conveyor 71 in a time of 1 to 5 minutes while being held in an oblique state by the holder 72. do. The package 92 may be moved at room temperature by the conveyor 71 or may be moved while blowing cold air. The spherical adsorption coal which is heated to 60-80 degreeC in the hopper 10, and maintains temperature is cooled to near room temperature. By cooling, the package retracts, and the spherical adsorption coal does not move while being put in the lower portion of the separated package 91.

When conveyed to the end by the conveyor 71, the package 92 falls naturally by the movement back to the lower side of the conveyor 71. In the dropped position, a box for packaging is prepared, and when the package 92 of a predetermined quantity is stored in the box, it is transported for each box.

Here, the spherical adsorption coal which is separately packaged with the separate packaging apparatus of the first embodiment of the present invention or packaged with the packaging apparatus of the second embodiment will be described. The spherical adsorbed coal is a porous spherical carbonaceous substance, the diameter thereof is 0.05-1 mm, and the bulk density is 0.51 ± 0.04 g / ml. Since the spherical adsorbed coal has a real spherical shape and high fluidity, the spherical adsorption coal is easily blown off when the separated package is opened. In addition, the amount of air contained is large, the amount varies greatly with temperature, and, for example, about 1.46 ml of air is released per 1 g at an elevated temperature from 0 ° C to 30 ° C. Therefore, since the temperature is lowered after warming to 60 to 80 ° C. in advance, after removing the air sufficiently and sealing it as a separate package, the inside of the bag of the separated package becomes a vacuum state and the temperature rises within the daily range. However, the expansion of the separated packaging can be prevented.

In addition, although the spherical adsorption coal was mentioned and demonstrated as a particulate matter measured and packaged so far, the measuring apparatus, the packaging apparatus, and the manufacturing method of the package which were applied to this invention are applicable also to other particulate matter. In particular, it can be preferably used for particulate matter having a true spherical shape and further reducing and packing residual air.

According to the present invention as described above, since the pressing device and the sealing device operate with a time difference, there is provided a separate packing device for particulate matter that reduces air remaining in the separated packaging and prevents expansion after sealing. In addition, there is provided a packaging apparatus and a manufacturing method for manufacturing a package in which the residual air is reduced by being pressed and sealed in the separate packaging apparatus.
