Scope of the invention The present invention relates generally to packaging machines. In particular, the present invention is directed to implementing controlled actions of one or more selected components of a packaging machine to continuously form individual packages of a product. Page Background of the Invention Many industries, especially the food industry, have adopted packaging products in containers for different purposes. Ideally, the production cost of the individual packaging of the product is kept to the lowest possible level, and it will not significantly increase the final cost of the packaged product for consumers. D In many products, generally important and often important situations are: The volume or quality of the product is uniform in each package, and this demand can slow down the production rate. Other limiting factors related to the conventional art packaging machine are related to the inherent defects of the movement function of one or more components or packaging machines and their control. These defects may include: control start and stop actions, acceleration rate, consumption by employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Difficulties such as the printing of cooperatives, and the accumulation of brakes and cooperating components in the action domain are uncertain. ^ In the packaging industry, there are continuous efforts to provide effective packaging at low cost. In this effort, there have been various attempts to increase the manufacturing speed of existing packaging machines. These additions often include efforts to strengthen the speed of movement of various components of the packaging machine in order to eliminate Pack-4 _

To date, many of these efforts have been limited to the mechanical movement of the various components of the packaging machine. For example, in the current known repeated sealing operation, the sealing claw engages a moving tube and transversely seals along the tube section at overlapping intervals. The operating speed of the tube and seal claw circulation is limited by the allowable acceleration of the circulation claw of the seal claw. The packaging industry commonly refers to a type of packaging machine known as a forming, filling and sealing (FFS) machine, which uses these machines to convert a flat fabric in a semi-continuous manner into a -filled tube and then into individual packaging (each containing One product). Commonly this machine packs liquid products in separate packages formed of cardboard and laminated fabrics. These machines also often use heat sealing of the packaging material in the transverse direction of their length. There are no known FFS machines that use packaging material fabric to pass the machine at a continuous forward speed. The conventional forming, filling and sealing machines are not smooth in synchronizing the product packaging by moving the fabric forward. The most common scenario is a fabric that includes a pattern, design, and / or print that repeats along the length of the fabric at intervals equal to the required length (or width) of the resulting package. Packaging often includes alignment marks that indicate the end and / or starting point of a new product package, and the continuous transverse seals of the moving fabric are precisely spaced from each other. Each transverse seal is also made at a preselected position on the fabric, as is the case with alignment marks on a moving fabric. In the conventional art FFS packaging machine, the initial alignment of the transverse seal position and the alignment mark often requires several cycles of the machine (and therefore including multiple wasted products). After the initial establishment, the alignment of the transverse seal and its alignment mark on the fabric may be affected by these factors (such as improper or invalid operation of machine elements, inconsistent speed of the fabric's forward movement, and changes in the fabric's longitudinal tension -5-

CJ ά 2 4 A7 B7 V. Invention description (3) and other factors) adversely affect. Misalignment of the transverse seal with its predetermined alignment mark on the fabric will cause an incorrect volume of the product contained in the finished package. The alignment has first been achieved by changing the forward rate of the fabric and / or mechanically changing the movement pattern of the sealing claws relative to the fabric, so that the claws engage the fabric at different positions to achieve alignment (i.e., the transverse sealing position fits along the fabric to A printing feature of the fabric). Variations in the forward movement rate of the fabric can cause changes in fabric tension and negatively affect the volume of product obtained in the respective shaped package. The mechanism has complex mechanical adjustments and is often done in separate steps. In this artisanal machine, five or more machine cycles may be required to correct a pair of aligned offsets. If the correction is done step by step, the alignment system is continuously "searched" (for example, in one direction and then overcorrected in the other direction). This procedure is time consuming, wasteful, and inaccurate. Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Conventional packaging machines are further limited, in which the packaging production rate is limited by the actual speed allowed by the movement of the sealing claws used to form the transverse seal. In particular, it is known in the art that the sealing claws moving along a closed-loop path during the positioning process to form a seal are limited by the acceleration rate of the sealing claws in the return part of the path, which are limited, for example, by FFS and An absolute maximum speed in a range of about 125% of the currently fastest known production speeds for similar packaging machines. The conventional art FFS machine used to form a parallelepiped container (such as rectangular, box-shaped container) with a volume of 250 ml is operated at a production rate of less than 9,000 packages per hour. U.S. Patent No. 4,383,438 is a mechanical device (such as a cam) that represents a conventional technique to a certain extent, and is used to move the sealing claws to engage a moving fabric, so that the claws remain engaged for a period of time sufficient to form a seal, and then the -6-This paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 297 mm)

This mechanism is limited to the action fixed by the cam profile, and for the known contour of the cam system's fixed claws, therefore, ρ Λ 1 u in some convex hands, except for minor adjustments, there is little or no opportunity When the action of the sealing claw is changed, the moving contour of the claw cannot be changed to accommodate different packaging characteristics (eg, the same size). U.S. Patent No. 4,279,098 proposes another cam-controlled system that moves the sealing jaws in a forming, filling, and sealing machine. U.S. Patent No. 5,706,627 is a complex example related to increasing the speed of a packaging machine by providing electronic control of most operations of the machine. This patent proposes that each station of the packaging machine is controlled by one or more servo motors, resulting in: Expensive and wasteful system. In many packaging machines, it is sometimes necessary to produce a specific operation in time relative to the movement of the packaging material through the packaging machine. For example, when forming and / or filling a triangular top container, it is necessary to be able to detect the presence of a partially formed container, and it is necessary to develop an indication that one of the containers appears (or does not appear) at a predetermined position during its movement through the packaging machine. Signal, this signal is usually a telecommunication signal and fed to the control system. The control system relays this signal (or no signal appears) to the operating station (where part of the forming operation is performed on the container). In certain cases, the accuracy of the signal detected on the operating station and acting on it is important for the smooth forming of the container.

Description of the invention ( 15), and the tube 20 moves at the same time. In the present invention, each of the plurality of carriages of each sub-assembly is free to move to any position along its respective path at any point in time, irrespective of the movement and non-movement of the other plurality of carriages. However, two carriages of a known subassembly cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Each carriage 52 preferably includes a sealing claw 70 designed to engage one side 42 of the moving fabric, apply pressure to the fabric, and move the filling tube 20 forward to form a heat seal laterally. In order to perform a lateral sealing of the tube 20, the sealing claw 70 of the first assembly 48 must be aligned with one of the sealing claws 71 of the second assembly 50, and the tube 20 is bounded within a limited time sufficient to perform the required lateral sealing. Arranged between the sealing claws 70 and 71, a preferred heat sealing mechanism is disclosed in Figs. 32-46B. Figures 1 and 47 show a forming, filling and sealing machine of the type described above, in which a sealing jaw assembly according to the invention is used. With this machine, a fabric of material 2 is finally converted into a sealed container 34 filled with one of a liquid, solid or other material. In FIG. 47, the fabric 12 is folded into a tube and longitudinally sealed by the longitudinal sealing claw 700, and is also continuously filled through the nozzle 26. Subsequently, the fabric enters a horizontal sealing claw assembly 7 0 and a backup claw assembly 7 1 Formed space. As shown in Figures 1 and 4 'The sealing claw assembly 70 and the backup claw assembly 71 are installed on the carriage that travels along each of the continuous bearing devices 48 and 50 in an oval shape. It is understood that more than one pair can be set. One seal jaw and one backup jaw.

Description of the invention (18) The sealing claw assembly will move in this direction (called the sealing direction), so that the sealing surface 2152 cooperates with an operation The backup claw rests on a material fabric. The primary transformer winding part 2174 is fixedly installed on the chassis through a mounting frame 2176. The secondary transformer 2174 is electrically connected in parallel with a slot circuit formed by the capacitor 2162 and the sealing claw 2130. Preferably, the secondary transformer winding part is The flexible lead wire 218 is connected to the slot circuit.

Preferably, the flexible lead wire 218 is composed of a hinge wire, and more preferably, the hinge wire for this specific application has a 48_3〇_44 flat hinge line of nylon insulation film coating "Because the sealing claw assembly moves only a few inches relative to the chassis during the sealing operation, the flexible guide hinge between the secondary transformer winding 2174 and the sealing inductor 2146 The wire length is very short. And because the current traveling in this short section is usually very high (about 50 amps), it is necessary to reduce the flexible wire length (thus reducing the resistance). Better, secondary Winding the pressure sensor portion 2174 and the seal 2146 is smaller than the spacing 18 ", more preferably less than 12", most preferably less than 8.

In general, the size of the hinge wire must address the current needs of the application. In addition, the flexible hinge lead can have any type of external insulation and may or may not have an outer braided fiber or nylon.

The position system forms an air-gap transformer 2194. Preferably, the gap between the winding part of the primary and secondary transformers is about 0.2 to 0.7 mm, and the best is about 0.4 mm, but the gap can be other than this range, and the smaller The gap system results in higher efficiency. In the preferred embodiment, the gap may be provided with a gasket, but it may also be in direct contact. This gap is kept in contact by directly contacting the bearing surfaces on both sides of the winding part of the secondary transformer. When the carriage 2184 moves along a predetermined path (such as the above-mentioned continuous load bearing device), the rest of the seal claw structure 2171 moves accordingly. Therefore, the seal claw assembly 2160 and the chassis 2172 (the secondary transformer winding portion 2174 carrying the air gap transformer 2194) are moved accordingly. Before the secondary transformer winding part 2174 began to pass through the main transformer winding part 2192, due to the cam action of the cam followers 2170a, 2170b, the sealing claw 2130 mounted on the sealing claw assembly 2160 and its complementary backup The claws are closed on the material fabric.

When the sealing claw 2130 and its complementary backup claw move through the sealing area, the secondary transformer winding portion 2174 is very close to the static main transformer winding portion 2192 when passing. Therefore, when the air gap transformer 2194 is formed, the main 2190 and the secondary 2174 are formed. The windings of the transformer Shao actually never touch each other.

Description of the invention (20) The short period of energy supply in the slot circuit formed by the capacitor 2162 and the sealed inductor 2146. When the secondary transformer winding 2174 passes through the surface of the main transformer winding 2190, the RF signal generator of the power supply generates electric energy that passes through the air-gap transformer 2194 and enters the sealed inductor 2146. Therefore, the packaging is densely packed. In the preferred embodiment, the sealed sensor 2146 has a pulse of about 3 kilowatts at a duty cycle of 20%, but when using the automatic trimming as described above, these chirps can be changed. It should be understood that in the air-gap transformer of the present invention, the windings of the primary and secondary transformers can each have any number of turns and can provide any turns ratio 値. In addition, the winding part can be composed of any type of conductor material (such as copper, copper pipe fittings, aluminum and others). In addition, the material used for the core of the winding part of the primary and secondary transformers can be any type, such as the core of the winding part It can be formed of a material with high magnetic permeability (defined as permeability greater than 1) (such as ferrous iron or iron); it can also be made of a material with low magnetic permeability (such as air or plastic).

Description of the invention (21) A high current resonance frequency circuit, capacitor 2162 Zheng Jin sealed claw assembly 2160 sealed inductor 2146 is mainly due to the short path between the two to help implement efficiency ' It is also possible to lower the current than would be the case if the capacitor is located on the primary side. 'The power is transferred from the primary transformer winding to the secondary transformer winding. During the sealing operation, 'a high-voltage and low-loss signal is generated and sent to the tank circuit.' The tank circuit generates a large AC current with a low voltage. The current flowing through the father of the sealed inductor generates a magnetic field intensity. The magnetic field intensity is in the packaging material. Thirsty currents are generated in the aluminum 0 layer, and these full currents generate resjstjve heat, which is conducted to the internal thermoplastic sealing layer and rises above the melting point. A concealed seal is formed when the two opposing sealing layers are pressed by the action of the sealing claw 2130 and its complementary backup claw. Since the slot circuit is placed on the movable sealing claw assembly 2160, a large AC current flows only in the sealed area, so a significant amount of conductor length and the eddy current loss generated in the conveying section are eliminated. Because of this increased efficiency and reduced heat loss, it may not be necessary to provide coolant passages and coolant fluid to remove excess heat, as shown in some of the above cases. As mentioned above with reference to FIG. 34, the seal claw assembly 2160 is provided with cam followers 2170a, 2170b. The cam follower causes the movable seal claw assembly 216 to meet the seal claw cam mounted on a continuous load device. It moves sideways relative to the chassis 2172 and the carriage 2184. When encountering the seal claw cam, the cam followers 217oa, 2170b will carry the seal claw cam, so the movable seal claw assembly 2160 is forced to be located in a direction away from the chassis 2172 and the carriage 2184. On the other hand, 'Because it is rigidly connected to the carriage 2184, the cam action will not disturb the chassis 2172.'

In order to perform the longitudinal sealing of the present invention, as described above, a current is applied to one of the hermetically sealed inductors via the pullable lead 2442 which may be composed of a hinge wire. An AC current flowing in the built-in tank circuit formed by the sealed inductor and capacitor 2422 is caused by a current in a conductive material of the material fabric and thus generates heat to activate the polyethylene, polyethylene tape, or Hot start adhesive. After the heated portion of the material fabric passes through the sealing claw, the pressure roller 2424 forces the fabric against a buckle roller 2444 in the fabric tube 2406 to combine the heated outer surfaces to form a seal. The buckle roller 2444 is preferably made of rubber, plastic, an elastomer or other compliant material, so that it can cooperate with the pressure roller 2424. The buckle roller 2444 is mounted on a buckle roller frame 2446, and the buckle roller frame 2446 is Installed on the filling tube 2407 and preferably welded. This configuration can be maintained or replaced as needed with the roller 2444 without disturbing the backup roller frame. 31 Printed by the employee consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs—458 924 A7 ___B7__ Description of the invention (29) 2446 or filling tube 2407. 46A and 46B show exploded views of the sealing claw 2420.

Description of the invention (43) In a sealing operation, the sealing claws need to be joined to the pipe when it is moved past the heat sealing station 2 〇. The sealing claw moves forward with the tube at a speed that does not negatively change the forward speed of the tube relative to the speed of the tube. Therefore, in the space between the first and third frame members and between the second and third frame members In the space, first and second cams 280, 282 are provided. The cams are fixed by the height-mounting sections 284, 286 and 288, 290, respectively, between the frame members. The cam 280 shown in FIG. 16 includes a cam surface 292 defined along its outer periphery, and the cam 282 includes a cam surface 294 defined along its outer periphery. These cam surfaces define the timing and range of movement of the sealing claws 70 associated with the carriage 52 in a direction toward and away from a tube moving past the heat sealing station 28. Therefore, the cam follower 224 mounted on the inner (end) end of the lever H2 is adapted to engage the cam surface 292 of the first cam 290. The cam follower 226 mounted on the inside end of the rod 194 is adapted to engage the cam surface 294 of the second cam 2982. Therefore, when the carriage moves along the path defined by the tracks 58 and 60, the cam followers 224, 226 conform to the cam surface wheels of the respective cams.

Cl Q A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (44) The pulling force in the springs 228, 229 drives the guide rod 262 and the sealing claw 70 toward the carriage and away from the tube 20. Because each of the rods 192, 194 is connected to the outer end of the guide rod 262, this outward movement of the rods 192, 194 moves and compresses the coil springs 228, 229. Obviously, this movement of the lever has not caused the relative movement of the knife carrier 201 to the cross member 100 of the carriage, so the knife has not moved. When the cam follower moves beyond the respective protrusions 298 on the cam surface of the cam 280 '282, the tension in the coil springs 228, 229 returns the lever to the innermost position of its cross member relative to the carriage and pulls out the seal The claw engages the tube. The sealing jaws need to apply a first initial pressure to the tube therebetween, and then apply a larger pressure to the tube. Referring to FIG. 16, each of the cams 280 and 282 may include another protrusion 300 at the position of the protrusion 2 trillion end point 302. When the cam followers 224, 226 engage another protrusion 300, the rods 192, 194 are further driven away from the carriage, thereby driving the sealing jaws toward the tube with increased pressure. To protect against excessive pressure applied to a tube ', the seal claw is mounted on the guide rod 262 by coil springs 304,306. In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 21, an inertia latch is used to prevent the claw and the sealing claw from extending too far when the cam follower leaves the four-wheel track. A hook 420 extends from the knife carrier 200 and is adjacent to a latch 420. A latch 421 is movable and preferably rotatable to acquire or engage the hook 420. The latch 421 prevents the sealing claw from extending in an extending direction and exceeds a predetermined position when the carriage is driven along a curve in the track. In the curved position of the track, centripetal force easily extends the knife from the carriage. The latch 421 has a curved arm 422. When the latch 421 is in a locked position, a hooked end 424 is engaged with the hook 420. A heavy code 423 is disposed on the opposite end of the curved arm 422, and is preferably biased by a compression spring 425 to the cross member 100.

Each cam profile includes at least a portion of a protrusion 1298 that defines the periphery of the cam. The location of the protrusion 1298 is along the cam surface at a timing corresponding to the movement timing of a sealing claw engaging a moving tube. The convex wheel surface also keeps the sealing claw in engagement with a moving tube 20 to form a seal. The first and second specimens 1192, 1194 are slidably mounted on the knife carrier 1200, the sealing claw 70 is slidably attached to the knife carrier 1200 by levers 1152, 1154, and the spring 1132, II34 is located between the sealing claw 70 and the knife carrier 1200 so that the sealing claw is biased away from the knife carrier outward. When the cam followers 1224, I226 pass through one of the first protrusions on the cam surface 1292, the levers U92, 1194 extend to a sealed position. During operation, this movement of the rod causes the knife carrier 1200 to extend away from the intersection of the carriage 1052 and the member 1100. When the knife carrier 1200 moves to the moving tube 20, the sealing claw 70 engages the fabric 12 and Aligned with the sealing claw 71, the sealing claw 71 is attached to a similar carriage and is heated to the sealing tube 20.

Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Α7 V. Description of Invention (67

Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, each carriage has a magnet, for example, it cooperates with one or more Hall-effect sensors or other sensors to detect the presence or No carriage appears. The sensor generates a signal (often a telegram) that represents one of the carriage positions at a known time. Therefore, how many carriages are installed on each track so that the control system provides power to any coil or coil group, develops an electromagnetic field on the coil or coil group, and generates an action on any one or multiple carriages at any time. Parameter instructions are not important. For example, one or more carriages of the first heat-sealed sub-assembly can be guided to move to align with one or more carriages of the second assembly 'and move forward with the moving tube at the same speed as the moving tube. At the same time, the other carriages of each assembly can be instructed to move along a return stroke at different speeds of the carriages joined by the moving tubes. In this system, the carriage position is obtained with an accuracy of 20 microseconds (corresponding to 012 mm of the carriage speed of 600 mm / sec). Currently, the preferred carriage speed is 817 mm / sec. In the controller, the detection position of each carriage is compared with the ideal position along its path at a known time. By this comparison, the controller generates an electrical signal that is finally fed to an electrical energy source for the coil. (That is, amplifier), and then a signal is sent to the coil in the group of coils near the carriage electromagnetic through a switching circuit. This signal keeps the carriage stationary or repositions itself along a path as necessary to become a At a known time, the carriage is located at an ideal position. That is, at a known time, the difference between the actual position of the carriage along the track is changed in such a way that the carriage can be moved to its ideal position at this time. The rack is continuously corrected to apply the carriage position. In an embodiment, the actual correction can be applied to the left or right side of the pre-calculation table (see Figure 17). For simplicity, Figure 17 describes only a few of the carriages (please read the precautions on the back first) Rabbit ^ .. this page) -Μ ---- Order --------- line | This paper standard it financial standard (CNS) A4 specification (2i0_ 297 mm) -70- A7 4S ^ 924 ^ ------ 21________ V. Description of the invention (68) Program loop. The γ axis is zero to the complete cycle range of the carriage through the program and the carriage position (unit: mm), and the distance that the carriage will make a complete rotation stroke along a closed track. Fan axis time in microseconds with X-axis at zero to one cycle time (Figure 17 assumes 1000 microsecond cycle time). For the sake of simplicity again, FIG. 17 describes that one of the positions that require a fixed speed (linear position profile) is out of order. It is better, whenever it is as close as possible to the ideal carriage position (referred to as the position target in FIG. 17), self-sensing is generated. The device detects the signal of each carriage position, and this position corresponds to another frame on the X axis called a time target in FIG. 17. As also shown in FIG. 17, the actual alignment position and actual alignment time are the corresponding positions and times when an alignment signal occurs. For the first cycle of FIG. 17, it is assumed that the signal from the alignment sensor is just generated on the position target and needs no correction. In the second cycle, the 'alignment' signal appears very early, so that the leftward shift of the pre-calculation table is equal to the difference between the time target and the actual time. Moreover, it is assumed that the actual operation of the workstation in the next cycle will not interfere with the operation of the workstation. Obviously, only one carriage cycle is included in the correction. Therefore, the “irregular hunting” associated with several defective products that are known to cause departure from the process when the overcorrection or undercorrection is repeated several times. _ Referring to Figure 17 again, the following cycle shows the opposite situation where the signal from the alignment sensor appears sluggish and corrects to the right as shown in Figure 17. After completing each offset, the time target is redefined when the target position remains the same for a known procedure. The pre-calculated carriage position profile corresponds to a speed profile representing a relationship between carriage speed and time. During correction, the carriage speed deviates slightly from the predetermined speed profile to synchronize the presentation of the carriage with the offset table. -71-This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before writing this page) ------ Order --------- line ----------------------- A7 --------- .... B7 V. Description of the invention (69) Under normal circumstances, the maximum correction applied is usually less than a few millimeters. Because the position and speed of each carriage are highly accurate for the feedback of the motion controller, the system can be The accepted accuracy goes through several cycles. When it is necessary to modify, it is appropriate to trigger the alignment of the carriage represented by the carriage. If necessary, corrections can be extended to a later time in the carriage cycle, such as when there is minimal interference from the table offset. If iL is required, when a large correction is needed, the maximum correction amount can be artificially limited, and the overall correction system is distributed on several cycles of the carriage. At the beginning of an operation, the motion controller senses the position and corresponding time of each carriage, and further sets the program of the motion controller according to when an alignment signal (position target) is expected from each carriage. According to a feature of the present invention, the motion controller can know when it is expected to receive a signal by an alignment sensor in terms of the position of the carriage. In one embodiment, a programmable window is used to achieve the above function (see FIG. 18) . The first window is set when the first signal from the alignment sensor is generated, and it is used to indicate the start of the second window. Assume that the program contains three carriages, and the window length is equal to one-sixth of the program cycle. At the end of this window, another window is opened, the length of which is equal to one-third of the program cycle. Each alignment signal will be generated approximately at the midpoint of the second window. If the second window does not receive an alignment signal, the program can stop and, for example, issue a warning. This event is repeated when each alignment sensor signal occurs. Opening equals six minutes. One cycle is one window, and each time the window ends, another window is opened for a period equal to one third of the cycle. With this device, the system can detect a misaligned signal or multiple aligned signals. In this system, the alignment timing of the dense claws of the two sub-assemblies and their movements to join the moving tubes to form a transverse seal system.

Μ.tr --------- line I a Consumption Cooperation of Employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, printed 458924 V. Description of the invention (70) A function of an alignment mark 23 may or may not appear, as shown in Figure i As shown. Therefore, the signal from an alignment mark detector 2S is also fed to the controller for analysis with a pair of relatively aligned seal jaws. The electrical energy supplied to the coils of the aligned seal jaws is modified to ensure that the seal jaws are engaged with an alignment mark on the tube. With this device, the speed of forward movement of the tube past the heat-seal station 28 is not intentionally modified, but rather the relative positioning of the sealing claws to accommodate any speed of the forward-moving tube. Therefore, if the speed of a moving tube is changed due to changes in the pulling force in the tube or because one or more mechanical elements of the FFS machine are not operating accurately, the system detects the variation in the speed of the tube and adjusts the position of the relatively uniform sealing claws. Make the sealing claws engage with the tube at a time that detects a function of an alignment mark. »As needed, the joint position of the sealing claws with the tube need not be an alignment mark directly on the tube, but can be moved away from an alignment mark. A set distance. Since the elasticity of the system to the position of the seal claw is a function of detecting an alignment mark and other items, the present invention can be used to produce any of a variety of package sizes without the system having to change mechanically. Figures 18Λ and 18B show an example of a preferred device for aligning the sealing jaws. As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention uses the alignment mark 23 and the sensor 25, and a programmable window or time interval To monitor the movement of the carriage, as shown in Figures 18A and 18B. When an alignment mark 23 passes the alignment sensor and the sensor 25 detects the mark, an alignment signal is sent to the motion controller. In response, the controller starts a first time interval TINT1 at time τ 1, and the second time interval TINT 1 is used to indicate the start of a second time interval tint2. When the first time interval TINT1 expires at time T2, the second time interval TINT2 is started, and a second alignment signal R 2 is in the first time interval TINT2 period 458924 A7 ---- · _ ··· ι __________ B7____ Fifth, the description of the invention (71) is received by the controller, indicating that the machine 10 and the sealing assembly 48, 50 have normal operations. If the device does not receive subsequent alignment signals during the first time interval, it starts another second time interval at the end of the first time interval, and the controller understands that the machine is operating abnormally. If a multiple alignment signal is received in the second time interval, the machine also operates abnormally. Abnormal machine operation is caused by an error detection signal sent to the controller 'causing the program to stop, issue a warning, display the appropriate message to the operator, or have other appropriate effects. The first and second time intervals are repeatedly generated for each alignment mark detected. The first time interval is calculated as a first predetermined time (which is the cycle time divided by the number of carriages on the track). If six carriages are used, the first time interval is the cycle time divided by six, which should be the second Detection of alignment marks is generated at the midpoint of the time interval. The second time interval is calculated as a second predetermined time (twice the first time interval), or the cycle time divided by the number of carriages on a track multiplied by two. If six carriages are used, the second time interval is the cycle time divided by three. With these features, the system can detect a missing alignment signal or multiple alignment signals at a known time. The alignment signal printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is also used to check and modify the position of the carriage relative to the contour of a position. Therefore, the seal claws of the two sub-assemblies are aligned and moved into engagement with the moving tube 2 ( (See Figure 1) To form the timing of the transverse seal, it is also a function of the presence or absence of the alignment mark 23 on the moving fabric 12 as a result of the debt measurement. With this device, the tube 20 is not intentionally modified to pass through the heat sealing station 40. Moving forward, instead, modify the alignment of the sealing claws or carriage to accommodate the speed of moving the tube 20 forward. Therefore, if the tension in the tube changes or because of one or more of the FFS machines -74- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 458 924 A7 --------- B7___ V. Description of the Invention (72) The component does not operate accurately and changes the speed of the moving tube 20. This system detects the speed variation of this tube and adjusts the position of the relatively uniform sealing claws. To ensure that the sealing claw engages the tube at a time as a function of detecting an alignment mark. If necessary, the joint position of the sealing claw and the tube does not need to be an alignment mark directly on the tube, but can be moved one set distance from the alignment mark. Since the elasticity of the system with respect to the position of the seal claw is a function of detecting alignment marks and other items, the present invention can be used to produce any of a variety of package sizes without the system having to make mechanical changes. Referring again to FIGS. 18A and 18B, in the first cycle, once the alignment signal ri is received, the controller uses the actual position of the carriage corresponding to the package with the alignment mark that triggers the alignment signal r 1 to check the carriage relative to the contour. The actual position P1. Because the actual position P1 is equal to the aligned position at T1, the actual position P1 is located on the position target, and the carriage does not need to be wall positive β In the second cycle, the alignment signal R2 occurs at T2, and the actual position of the carriage is not at the position The target P2 'is earlier than the target time of T3. Therefore, correction is needed. The leftward deviation of the table is equal to the difference between the time target T3 and the actual time T2 when the alignment signal is received (as shown by arrow L), and Produce corrections. 'Redefine target time' after scale is correct. For example, the controller must transmit the signal from the position P2 to the position P3 within the time of T2-T3. For example, the wall It is necessary to move the carriage to the position P 3 before time T3. The pre-calculated profile of the carriage position corresponds to one of the speed profiles representing the relationship between the speed and time of the carriage. During the scale period, the actual speed of the carriage will slightly deviate from the predetermined speed profile, so that the table of the carriage and offset Become synchronized. -75- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ----------- 1 -------- Order ------- --Line- (Please read the precautions on the back before I 窎 this page), printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 ^ 8 9 2 4 A7 -------------- V. Description of the invention (73) When the third alignment signal R3 is generated, assuming that the operation of the carriage in the third cycle is not disturbed, the actual position P4 is precisely matched with the position target. In the fourth cycle, the 'alignment signal R4 occurs at time T5. The actual position of the carriage is not the position target position P5, so it needs to be corrected. Correction is produced by tilting the watch to the right (shown by arrow R). After the correction, the target time is redefined. For example, the controller transmits a signal to the driver of the carriage at time T6 (the carriage is at ρ6). During the correction, the actual speed of the carriage deviates slightly from the predetermined speed profile again, so that the carriage and the offset table are synchronized, and the alignment signals sent to the controller are monitored and corrected. Correction can occur in the same cycle that generates the alignment signal, correction can occur directly after the signal is detected, or correction can be postponed to the cycle—at a later time (for example, when there is minimal interference with table offset), or Omitting the correction or completely delaying it to another cycle. If a predetermined correction maximum is exceeded, the correction can be distributed in several cycles, and the correction maximum can make the system operate smoothly. The packaging produced during the correction can be marked and removed. Although the outline of the position of a carriage is displayed, correction is continuously applied to subsequent carriages as needed. The wood system is designed so that the alignment signal is generated as close as possible to the position and the target to minimize corrections. Because of the high-precision feedback from the carriage position sensors to the controller, the system is operated with acceptable accuracy Under normal circumstances, the maximum correction applied is less than a few millimeters. Correction, preferably less than about 1 mm, better correction is less than 0.2 mm, best correction = 0.1 mm.
