Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a base film exchange apparatus for producing an edible film,

The present invention relates to a base film exchange apparatus for producing an edible film, and more particularly, to a base film exchange apparatus for manufacturing an edible film, and more particularly, And to improve the productivity of the base film.

Generally, an edible film is a film which is made into a thin film form by mixing materials which are not harmful to the human body such as starch and which are soluble in water and which are beneficial to the human body.

Such edible films can be used to administer substances beneficial to the human body through the oral cavity or skin. For example, if an edible film is prepared by including a substance beneficial to the human body, and the edible film is put into the mouth and melted by a needle, a substance useful for the human body can be easily administered to the body. Such an edible film can be adhered to skin or the like, and cosmetics or medicines can be administered.

In recent years, edible films for mouth rinse detergents have been used in which an edible material for preventing or preventing bad breath is added to a edible film and a clean flavor and coloring matter such as peppermint or menthol flavor is added.

These edible films for mouth cleaning can replace gum and candy which have caused environmental pollution and dental health problems. In particular, it can be provided for a large-sized restaurant where gum or candy is purchased for a large amount of food for post-consumer use.

However, because edible films are provided in a thin film form that is weak in moisture, they can be cut into appropriate sizes and packed one by one in a wrapping paper, or edible films cut into a certain size can be stored in a dispenser, The edible film of the present invention is stored in a dispenser and cut and discharged to a predetermined size.

The first and second detection sensors 110 and 120 detect the optical signal of the light emitting part in the light receiving part automatically when the amount of the wound photosensor is reduced, So that it is guided to perform the bobbin exchange operation.

In addition, the tension of the film unwound from the first and second bobbins (A) and (B) is maintained through the tension roll 130.

Second and third tension rolls 140 and 150 for guiding the films unwound from the first and second bobbins B and A to the process line are respectively installed on the tension roll 130 to guide the film .

Particularly, a lower cylinder 150 for supporting a film unwound from the first bobbin B is provided with a fourth cylinder P4 which can be pressed and fixed by a lower tension roll 150 do.

In addition, an induction tension roll 160 is installed on the exit side of the film supply housing 100 such that the film is guided to an appropriate tension when the film is guided from the film supply housing 100 to the loupe holder 200.

In addition, a first cylinder P1 and a second cylinder P2 are disposed at an interval on the upper portion of the second film A-1 passing through the upper tension roll 140, and the second cylinder P2 , The upper removing roll IR1 is provided and the lower removing roll IR2 is provided at the lower side symmetrical with the upper removing roll IR1.

Further, a supporting roll R is provided at a point past the lower removing roll IR2, and a third cylinder P3 capable of pressing and fixing the passing film on the upper side of the supporting roll R is installed do.

In addition, a suction block SB is installed below the first and second cylinders P1 and P2 to move up and down by an unillustrated working cylinder.

The adsorption block SB has two valves V1 and V2, and is a block which operates to adsorb in accordance with the opening and closing of the valve. The film passing over the upper portion of the block, in particular the first film unwound from the first bobbin B, (B-1) at the lower portion.

In addition, although not shown, a display (not shown) may be further provided to indicate the time required for the operation at the start of the exchange operation.

In addition, a cutting and attaching unit Z for cutting and attaching the first and second films B-1 and A-1 may be further provided between the first and second cylinders P1 and P2.

In this case, the cutting and attaching unit Z comprises, as schematically shown in Fig. 3, a cutting device 300 capable of cutting a film; The cutting device 300 may include a cutting cylinder 310 and a cutter 320 for cutting the film in accordance with the upward and downward movements of the cutting cylinder 310. [ And a cutting base 330 for supporting the lower portion of the film so that the cutter 320 can be cut smoothly; The attaching device 400 includes a mounting cylinder 410 and an attaching pad 420 for pressing the new and old films cut in accordance with the raising and lowering movements of the attaching cylinder 410 and the attaching pad 420, And a pad base 430 for supporting the lower part of the film so as to pressurize the film. However, such a configuration is merely provided for illustrative purposes, and can be modified into various forms within a range in which cutting and attachment are possible.

The present invention having such a configuration has the following operational relationship.

First, a process of replacing the first bobbin B with the second bobbin A will be described with reference to FIG.

When the first film B-1 wound on the first bobbin B is detected to be exhausted through the first detection sensor 110, the adsorption block SB is raised.

At this time, if the adsorption block SB is already elevated, the ascending operation is not necessary. Therefore, it is preferable to precede the process of confirming the position of the adsorption block SB before the adsorption block SB is lifted.

In addition, an operator can easily confirm that an alarm sounds when the first detection sensor 110 transmits a detection signal, and when an alarm is generated, the operator can check the mounting state of the second bobbin A .

At the same time, the end of the second film (A-1) wound around the second bobbin A is connected to the upper removing roll IR1.

Then, the upper removal roll IR1 interlocks with the installed sensor to position the second film A-1 in a state of stopping after the second film A-1 is wound by a predetermined number of turns so that the second film A- .

In addition, the first and second films B-1 and A-1 are arranged in a superposed state.

Next, the third cylinder P3 descends to clamp the currently supplied film C during operation.

Then, the supply of the film C is stopped, and the feeding operation at the rear end continues while the looper roll 210 of the looper roll housing 200 is operated.

Then, the first, second, and fourth cylinders P1, P2, and P4 are operated and the valves V1 and V2 are opened and adsorbed.

As a result, the first film (B-1) and the second film (A-1) are fixed in place and do not flow.

In this state, the first and second films B-1 and A-1 disposed between the first and second cylinders P1 and P2 are cut.

When the cutting is completed, the second cylinder P2 is turned off and the upper removing roll IR1 is driven.

Then, the cut second film (A-2) is in a free state and is removed by winding it on the upper removing roll IR1.

Then, the film is released from the second bobbin (A-1) using the prepared tape and connected to the second film (A-2) in a waiting state while the second film (A-2) is waiting.

The film C during the operation is a film on the side of the support roll R formed by cutting the first film B-1 loosened from the first bobbin B and is cut on the side of the suction block SB The remaining film becomes the cut first film (B-2).

Thus, when the film connecting operation is completed, the valves V1 and V2 of the suction block SB are closed to release the vacuum adsorption state, and the first, fourth and third cylinders P1, P4 and P3 are sequentially turned off The film supply operation is continued.

In addition, the remaining cut first film (B-2) is rewound with the first bobbin (B), replaced with a new one, and kept in the exchange standby state.

By doing so, the film of the first bobbin B can be replaced with the film of the second bobbin A quickly and easily. However, since only one third of the time is required for the film of the first bobbin B, It is also convenient for the exchange work.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 2, the film wound on the second bobbin A is replaced with the first bobbin B again, but the process is slightly different.

That is, when the film exhaustion signal is generated by the second detection sensor 120, the suction block SB is lowered, and then the end of the first film B-1 wound on the first bobbin B is pulled to remove the lower film To the roll IR2.

Then, the position of the first film B-1 is stopped in an adjusted state by the combination of the lower removal roll IR2 and an unshown sensor connected thereto.

Then, the third cylinder P3 is lowered to clamp the fed film C being supplied.

When the clamping is completed, the first, second and fourth cylinders P1, P2 and P4 are lowered to fix the films, the adsorption block SB is raised, and then the valves V1 and V2 are opened to form the first film B- 1) is fixed.

In this state, a cutting operation is performed, and the film is separated from the cut second film, that is, the film in operation (C), the cut first film (B-2), and the first bobbin The first film (B-1) and the second film (A-1) released from the second bobbin (A) coexist.

Then, when the first cylinder P1 is turned off, the second film A-1 released from the second bobbin A remains free, so that the second bobbin A is rewound and removed.

At this time, the first film (B-1) released from the first bobbin (B) is in a state of being fixed in a state of being adsorbed by the adsorption block (SB).

Therefore, the operator can connect the first film (B-1) unwound from the first bobbin (B-1) and the film (C) during operation using the prepared tape.

When the film connecting operation is completed, the valves V1 and V2 of the suction block SB are closed to freely cut the first film B-2, and then the lower removal roll IR2 is rotated to remove the first film B- .

Then, in these spaces, only the first film (B-1) unwound from the first bobbin (B-1) and the film (C) remain connected to each other.

In this state, the fourth, second, and third cylinders P4, P2, and P3 are sequentially turned off, and then the supplying operation is continued. After the second bobbin A is detached, a new one is replaced.

As described above, since the present invention can be cut and connected almost automatically so as to continuously supply the film (base film), it is possible to eliminate problems such as defective film of edible film, quality deterioration, So that convenience and accuracy are improved, and excellent quality can be ensured.
