盒型袋子結構(Box bags),又可稱之為交叉底部袋子結構(cross bottom bags),其為一種立方體狀的袋子結構並且係由袋子封裝設備所生產。於所述袋子封裝設 備中,所提供之複數管形袋體之末端區域係被開啟並折疊成交叉底結構。於折疊過程中,此些袋體係被平坦地導引於袋子封裝設備之中而使得袋體之管壁彼此相互貼抵,於末端區域亦同。為了要形成底部結構,管形袋體之末端區域之二管壁係被分開並且相對彼此以180度往下翻折,其中藉由一擴口工具,所述二管壁之至少其中之一管壁係被折疊至其自身之上並形成一第一側折邊,藉由所述擴口工具,係可形成一開啟之底部,且另一管壁形成一第二側折邊。當向下折疊管形袋體之末端區域之一管壁時,於所述末端區域之前部與後部係分別產生一三角折邊。以技術用語而言,此一步驟又可稱之為預備程序。之後,可將閥墊插入所述袋體以製造盒型閥袋,藉由更進一步的折疊程序,所述閥墊可形成一閥結構,藉由此閥結構所述閥袋可藉由一充填噴嘴進行充填。然後,閥袋底部之側折邊係被相互重疊,並且此些相互重疊之側折邊係依據材料性質進行膠黏或是焊接;可替代地或額外地,可以底蓋片覆於所述相互重疊之側折邊並以膠黏或焊接。Box bags, also known as cross bottom bags, are a cubic bag structure and are produced by bag packaging equipment. In the bag package In the preparation, the end regions of the plurality of tubular bags provided are opened and folded into a cross-bottom structure. During the folding process, the bag systems are flatly guided into the bag encapsulating device such that the tube walls of the bag body abut each other, as well as in the end regions. In order to form the bottom structure, the two tube walls of the end region of the tubular bag are separated and folded down 180 degrees relative to each other, wherein at least one of the walls of the two tubes is by a flaring tool The wall system is folded over itself and defines a first side flap by which the open bottom is formed and the other tube wall forms a second side flap. When the wall of one of the end regions of the tubular bag body is folded down, a triangular hem is formed in the front portion and the rear portion of the end portion, respectively. In terms of technical terms, this step can be called a preliminary procedure. Thereafter, a valve pad can be inserted into the bag body to manufacture a box type valve bag, and the valve pad can form a valve structure by a further folding procedure, whereby the valve bag can be filled by a valve structure The nozzle is filled. Then, the side folds of the bottom of the valve bag are overlapped with each other, and the mutually overlapping side flanges are glued or welded according to the material properties; alternatively or additionally, the bottom cover sheets may be overlaid on the mutual Overlapping side edges are glued or welded.

上述所提及之袋子封裝設備係可參照奧地利專利號AT408427B之專利文件。然而。由於其必須以計時操作,使得所述袋子封裝設備之傳動設備必須具備高度水準,並且也縮限了袋體成品之產量。製備底部結構(包含底部結構製備完畢後的固定)所耗費的時間支出甚至會對於整個袋子封裝設備的製備效能設立一上限值。The above-mentioned bag encapsulating apparatus can be referred to the patent document of Austrian Patent No. AT408427B. however. Since it must be operated in a timed manner, the transmission equipment of the bag packaging device must be of a high level and also reduce the yield of the finished bag body. The time expenditure incurred in preparing the bottom structure (including the fixing after the preparation of the bottom structure) may even set an upper limit on the preparation efficiency of the entire bag packaging apparatus.

於歐洲專利號EP2441574A1之專利文件所揭 示之一種用以形成具有開啟之底部之袋體的裝置中,係將上述缺失加以解決。其中,袋體係連續地被輸送於所述裝置之中。根據此一專利文件,所述底部開啟裝置係藉由將管形袋體末端區域之二材料層相互分離而達成,並設計為一氣動式底部開啟裝置。所述氣動式底部開啟裝置係具有複數抽吸裝置,此些抽吸裝置係以所述材料層為基準相對設置而可彼此分離達成吸引與分離袋體之管壁之作用,藉此管壁係互相分離而使擴口工具可插置於此些管壁之間。僅管如此,本文件對於此一底部開啟裝置的設計細節並無著墨。Revised in the patent document of European Patent No. EP2441574A1 One of the devices shown to form a bag having an open bottom is to address the above-described deficiencies. Therein, the bag system is continuously conveyed into the device. According to this patent document, the bottom opening device is achieved by separating the two material layers of the end region of the tubular bag body from each other and is designed as a pneumatic bottom opening device. The pneumatic bottom opening device has a plurality of suction devices, and the suction devices are oppositely disposed on the basis of the material layer, and can be separated from each other to achieve the function of attracting and separating the wall of the bag body, thereby the pipe wall system Separate from each other so that the flaring tool can be inserted between the tube walls. In spite of this, this document does not ink the design details of this bottom opening device.

於德國專利號DE102008017445A1之專利文件中,係述及一氣動式底部開啟設備之抽吸桿的高度係可以沿與一輸送平面相平行之一水平導引件進行調整,因此而可適用於不同寬度之袋體。In the patent document of German Patent No. DE 10 2008 017 445 A1, the height of the suction rod of a pneumatic bottom opening device can be adjusted along a horizontal guide which is parallel to a conveying plane, and thus can be adapted to different widths. The body of the bag.

對於管形袋體的開啟而言,為了要使分別位於抽吸裝置前後的管壁盡可能規則地分離,其通常會被要求須要具備有線性的開啟動作,而因此擴口工具係可容易地插入管形袋體之開啟的末端區域。當以上裝置應用於製備較寬底部的袋子結構時,裝置之一簡易旋轉臂會因為不規則的開啟動作導致材料層發生顯著的扭曲情況並且阻礙擴口工具的插入。於上述專利文件(德國專利號DE974780C與DE1091422B)所揭示之內容中,抽吸裝置並非以直線方向移動,而是以結合直線方向以及樞軸方向或以環型移動。For the opening of the tubular bag body, in order to separate the pipe walls respectively located before and after the suction device as regularly as possible, it is usually required to have a linear opening action, and thus the flaring tool can be easily Insert the open end region of the tubular bag. When the above apparatus is applied to a bag structure for preparing a wide bottom, a simple rotating arm of the device may cause a significant distortion of the material layer and hinder the insertion of the flaring tool due to the irregular opening action. In the disclosure of the above-mentioned patent documents (German Patent Nos. DE 974 780 C and DE 10 918 222 B), the suction device does not move in a linear direction but in a linear direction as well as a pivotal direction or in a ring shape.

已知的底部開啟裝置,如奧地利專利號 AT408427B專利文件所揭示,係為相對大型的設備,且其中係以活塞筒搭配活塞的方式達成線性的開啟動作;然而,很顯然地,此種技術方案除了佔據空間之外,亦有製造與保養成本高的問題存在。Known bottom opening device, such as the Austrian patent number The AT408427B patent document discloses a relatively large-scale device, in which a linear opening action is achieved by means of a piston cylinder with a piston; however, it is obvious that this technical solution has manufacturing and maintenance in addition to occupying space. The problem of high cost exists.

因此,本發明係為一針對袋體封裝設備之底部開啟裝置,其可藉由連續性地操作達成高產率。其中,所述底部開啟裝置在製造上除了應該簡單、成本低廉以外,亦應該兼顧結構強度而可以盡可能達成抗磨損。此外,所述底部開啟裝置亦應該適用於開啟具有不同寬度之底部結構,並且與後續工作站之間具有適當的動線關係,以及必須可適用於連續性的操作。Accordingly, the present invention is a bottom opening device for a bag body packaging apparatus which can achieve high productivity by continuous operation. In addition, the bottom opening device should be simple in construction and low in cost, and should also take into consideration the structural strength to achieve wear resistance as much as possible. In addition, the bottom opening means should also be suitable for opening bottom structures having different widths, and having a proper moving line relationship with subsequent stations, and must be suitable for continuous operation.

本發明係將前述之管形袋體之末端區域之開啟裝置與方法加以改良。當中,所述抽吸裝置係可以沿一斜方向往復移動,所述斜方向一端係指向運輸方向,另一端則與底部中心線夾設一角度。除了可以垂直運輸方向往復移動以外,抽吸裝置係相對彼此設置於一定位器上,定位器係樞設於二相對平行之旋轉臂之第一端,且至少一旋轉臂係被驅動而可以垂直運輸方向樞轉,該些旋轉臂之第二端係樞設一支撐托架,該支撐托架係被驅動而可以於一導軌內沿該斜方向往復移動。藉由上述抽吸裝置於斜方向的運動,抽吸裝置於管壁上的吸引點係可以相對底部中心線進行控制,甚至於操作期間進行調整。藉此,所述裝置係可適用於具有不同長度之末端區域之袋體,而此些具有 不同長度之末端區域之袋體係可以形成具有不同寬度之袋體結構成品。此外,由於抽吸裝置於管壁上之吸引點係可以加以調整,因此管壁係可以盡可能地靠近袋體之外部末端,而可以增加開啟程序之精準度。本發明所提供之管形袋體之末端區域之開啟裝置於操作期間可提供剛性、快速性及可多重調整的選擇性,其中,每一旋轉臂係被驅動而可以藉由一角桿達成樞轉。根據本發明之管形袋體之末端區域之開啟裝置,除了具有簡單且相對節省成本的設計,亦可以藉由其中定位器、旋轉臂以及支撐托架所形成的平行四邊形單元之幾何性,使得在開啟過程中上述平行四邊形單元樞轉時,抽吸裝置相對管壁的方向性係得以維持,如此使得管壁之開啟與分離具有穩固的特性且又不會有扭曲的問題發生;並且,甚至當適用於具有較寬的末端區域的袋體時,擴口工具亦可以於後續步驟中插入袋體,而不會有無法適用的情況。The present invention improves the opening device and method of the end region of the tubular bag described above. The suction device is reciprocally movable in an oblique direction, one end of the oblique direction is directed to the transport direction, and the other end is at an angle to the bottom centerline. In addition to being reciprocable in a vertical transport direction, the suction devices are disposed relative to each other on a positioner that is pivotally disposed at a first end of the two relatively parallel rotating arms, and at least one of the rotating arms is driven to be vertical The transporting direction pivots, and the second end of the rotating arms is pivotally provided with a supporting bracket that is driven to reciprocate in the oblique direction in a guide rail. By the movement of the suction device in the oblique direction, the suction point of the suction device on the tube wall can be controlled with respect to the bottom center line, even during operation. Thereby, the device can be applied to a bag body having end regions of different lengths, and these have Bag systems of different length end regions can form finished bag structures having different widths. In addition, since the suction point of the suction device on the tube wall can be adjusted, the wall of the tube can be as close as possible to the outer end of the bag body, and the precision of the opening procedure can be increased. The opening device of the end region of the tubular bag provided by the present invention provides rigidity, rapidity and multiple adjustable selectivity during operation, wherein each rotating arm is driven to be pivoted by a corner bar . In addition to having a simple and relatively cost-effective design, the opening device of the end region of the tubular bag body according to the present invention can also be made by the geometry of the parallelogram unit formed by the positioner, the rotating arm and the support bracket. When the parallelogram unit is pivoted during the opening process, the directionality of the suction device relative to the tube wall is maintained, so that the opening and separation of the tube wall has stable characteristics without distortion; and even When applied to a bag having a wider end region, the flaring tool can also be inserted into the bag in a subsequent step without unsuitable conditions.

本發明之管形袋體之末端區域之開啟裝置係特別適用於由網狀結構之小型伸縮塑膠帶和/或塑膠薄膜所製備之袋體,其合成材料係較佳地選自聚乙烯、聚丙烯和/或聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯。亦可以使用以上所述材質之組合製備袋體,且所述袋體係較佳地包含一合成材料塗層。舉例而言,為了調整密度、印刷適性以及其他參數性質,係利用合成材料塗層覆於小型伸縮塑膠帶上。由此些小型伸縮塑膠帶所製成的袋體,強度係優於紙袋或是一般塑膠袋,但在製造過程中此些袋體係容易滑動且比紙袋難 以折疊。因此可以藉由本發明之管形袋體之末端區域之開啟裝置加工此類袋體。The opening device of the end region of the tubular bag body of the present invention is particularly suitable for a bag body prepared from a small telescopic plastic tape and/or a plastic film of a mesh structure, and the synthetic material is preferably selected from the group consisting of polyethylene and poly. Propylene and/or polyethylene terephthalate. The pouch may also be prepared using a combination of the materials described above, and the pouch system preferably comprises a composite coating. For example, in order to adjust the density, printability, and other parametric properties, a composite material coating is applied to the small stretch plastic strip. The bag body made of these small telescopic plastic tapes is superior in strength to paper bags or general plastic bags, but in the manufacturing process, these bag systems are easy to slide and more difficult than paper bags. To fold. Therefore, such a bag body can be processed by the opening means of the end region of the tubular bag body of the present invention.

根據所欲製造之袋體的要求,於管形袋體之二末端區域皆可以形成底部結構,且二末端區域係兩兩相對;或者,係可以僅於一末端區域形成底部結構。According to the requirements of the bag body to be manufactured, a bottom structure can be formed in both end regions of the tubular bag body, and the two end regions are opposite to each other; alternatively, the bottom structure can be formed only in one end region.

根據本發明一較佳實施例,若是前述斜方向與底部中心線或其假想延伸線所夾擠之夾角係可調整,則根據本發明之管形袋體之末端區域之開啟裝置係可以適用於具有不同長度之末端區域袋體而可製成具有不同寬度之底部結構之袋體。藉此,當欲製作一較窄底部結構時,則將夾角角度增加;而當欲製作一較寬底部結構時,則將夾角角度減少。當夾角小於45度時,開啟程序的精準度會增加,較佳地一實施態樣,夾角係小於30度。藉由上述之設計,可以確保已開啟的末端區域能夠適當地被輸送至後續的工作站,特別是輸送至一擴口工具之工作站;換句話說,於開啟程序工作站與後續程序工作站之間不需要額外添加一工作站,針對方向不適切的袋體進行調整。According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, if the angle between the oblique direction and the bottom center line or the imaginary extension line thereof is adjustable, the opening device of the end region of the tubular bag body according to the present invention can be applied to The bag body having the end regions of different lengths can be formed into a bag body having a bottom structure of different widths. Thereby, when a narrower bottom structure is to be made, the angle of the angle is increased; and when a wider bottom structure is to be made, the angle of the angle is reduced. When the angle is less than 45 degrees, the accuracy of the opening procedure is increased, preferably in an embodiment, the angle is less than 30 degrees. With the above design, it can be ensured that the opened end region can be properly transported to a subsequent workstation, in particular to a workstation of a flaring tool; in other words, between the open program workstation and the subsequent program workstation. Add an additional workstation to adjust for the unsuitable bag.

為了避免袋體之末端區域之管壁於開啟程序中有扭曲的情況發生,抽吸裝置與管壁接觸時係沿著斜方向移動,並且其移動速度量值當中與運輸方向相同之分量大小係與裝置運輸速度之大小相等。In order to avoid the distortion of the pipe wall in the end region of the bag body during the opening process, the suction device moves in the oblique direction when it contacts the pipe wall, and the magnitude of the moving speed is the same as the transport direction. It is equal to the transport speed of the device.

當抽吸裝置係藉由橫向導引手段而可以垂直運輸方向移動時,可以達成機械強度良好並且低維護成本的實施態樣。所述橫向導引手段係較佳地包含垂直運輸方 向設置的軌道、旋轉臂和/或活塞-活塞桶套組,且抽吸裝置係位於活塞之自由端。作為相同用途,係藉由斜向導引手段使抽吸裝置可移動於斜方向。所述斜向導引手段較佳地包含設置於斜方向上之導軌、旋轉臂和/或活塞-活塞桶套組,且抽吸裝置係位於活塞之自由端。When the suction device is movable in the vertical transport direction by the lateral guiding means, an embodiment in which the mechanical strength is good and the maintenance cost is low can be achieved. The lateral guiding means preferably comprises a vertical transporting side To the set track, swivel arm and/or piston-piston barrel set, and the suction device is located at the free end of the piston. For the same purpose, the suction device can be moved in an oblique direction by oblique guiding means. The oblique guiding means preferably comprises a rail, a rotating arm and/or a piston-piston barrel set disposed in an oblique direction, and the suction means is located at a free end of the piston.

由於具有定位器以及抽吸裝置之旋轉臂係固定於一可於斜方向移動之支撐托架,於袋子封裝設備之連續運作中,所述旋轉臂係可以配合開啟程序中位於輸送帶上之袋體沿斜方向進行移動。Since the rotating arm with the positioner and the suction device is fixed to a support bracket that can be moved in an oblique direction, in the continuous operation of the bag packaging device, the rotating arm can cooperate with the bag on the conveyor belt in the opening process. The body moves in an oblique direction.

由於支撐托架係可以往復移動於導軌內,可以藉由於導軌中高速移動之支撐托架達成沿著位移路徑之任意虛擬長度之移動。於是,係可展現出精準的袋體開啟操作以及適當的袋體輸送速度。Since the support bracket can be reciprocally moved within the guide rail, movement of any virtual length along the displacement path can be achieved by the support bracket moving at high speed in the guide rail. Thus, the system can exhibit precise bag opening operation and proper bag conveying speed.

基本地,所述平行四邊形單元之旋轉臂係可以任意形式被驅動。就此而言,係可理解旋轉臂之驅動可藉由伺服馬達、馬達/齒輪單元、液壓或油壓活塞桶單元、或是線控達成。然而,根據本發明之一較佳實施態樣,一旋轉臂係藉由一角桿以及複數桿件達成驅動,此些桿件係與所述角桿連接並樞設於一控制支架。由於其平行四邊形之構型,使得每次操作時只需要控制單一旋轉臂,而剩餘的部件則會由於平行四邊形之結構而進行對應的運動。此一較佳的傳動件態樣,包含一角桿、複數桿件以及控制支架,係具有良好機械性質且不需維護成本。旋轉臂係藉由控制支架達成樞轉,而控制支架係可相對支撐托架單獨移動, 因而可以建構一線性的位移操作。Basically, the rotating arm of the parallelogram unit can be driven in any form. In this regard, it is understood that the driving of the rotating arm can be achieved by a servo motor, a motor/gear unit, a hydraulic or hydraulic piston barrel unit, or a wire control. However, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a rotating arm is driven by a corner rod and a plurality of rod members that are coupled to the angle rod and pivoted to a control bracket. Due to the configuration of its parallelogram, it is only necessary to control a single rotating arm for each operation, and the remaining components will move correspondingly due to the structure of the parallelogram. The preferred transmission member includes a corner rod, a plurality of rod members and a control bracket, which have good mechanical properties and require no maintenance cost. The rotating arm is pivoted by the control bracket, and the control bracket is separately movable relative to the support bracket. Thus a linear displacement operation can be constructed.

為了要減少本發明之零件,係將支撐托架與控制支架設置於導軌上進行移動。In order to reduce the parts of the present invention, the support bracket and the control bracket are placed on the guide rail for movement.

由於可信賴性以及耐磨性之因素,旋轉傳動件,特別是齒狀帶型傳動件,係較佳地使用於支撐托架與控制支架之驅動。齒狀帶型傳動件具有高度可信賴性、可長時操作、可快速更換,因而不需經過特別訓練的人員即可操作、更換。Due to the reliability and wear resistance factors, the rotary transmission member, particularly the toothed belt type transmission member, is preferably used for driving the support bracket and the control bracket. The toothed belt drive is highly reliable, long-term, and quick to change, so it can be operated and replaced without special training.

可替換地,支撐托架與控制支架之移動係亦可以藉由活塞/活塞桶傳動單元、主軸電動機或是伺服馬達達成。Alternatively, the movement of the support bracket and the control bracket can also be achieved by a piston/piston bucket drive unit, a spindle motor or a servo motor.

特別地,當使用空氣可穿透之網狀結構所製成之袋體時,由於空氣可能會進入管壁因而會造成問題。換句話說,當抽吸裝置係作用於此些管壁時,抽吸裝置所吸引的不僅僅是其所對應的管壁,也同時會吸引位於所對應管壁之後的管壁,因此,無法達成材料層分離之動作。為了避免這樣的問題,本發明之抽吸裝置係相對設置並且彼此錯位設置。根據這樣的抽吸裝置之位置關係,可以達成穩定的管壁分離動作。In particular, when a bag made of an air permeable mesh structure is used, it may cause a problem because air may enter the pipe wall. In other words, when the suction device acts on the pipe walls, the suction device attracts not only the corresponding pipe wall but also the pipe wall behind the corresponding pipe wall. The action of separating the material layers is achieved. In order to avoid such problems, the suction devices of the present invention are disposed opposite each other and are disposed offset from each other. According to the positional relationship of such a suction device, a stable wall separation operation can be achieved.

在一較佳的實施態樣中,係可透過一可調整軸承,使導軌之方向係可以由斜方向朝底部中心線調整一可調整夾角。若所述調整軸承包含具有由複數凹入部所定義出之複數軸承點的複數長型孔,則可以快速調整、改變相對底部中心線之夾角。上述改變係可以由單人藉由簡單工 具達成。In a preferred embodiment, the adjustable bearing can be adjusted such that the direction of the guide rail can be adjusted from an oblique direction toward a bottom center line by an adjustable angle. If the adjustment bearing comprises a plurality of long holes having a plurality of bearing points defined by the plurality of recesses, the angle with respect to the bottom center line can be quickly adjusted and changed. The above changes can be made by a single person by simple work Achieved.

於一較佳的實施態樣中,係使用馬達傳動件調整導軌之軸承。在這樣的情況下,角度的調整係不需要使用工具,其係可適用於由電腦控制、操作之袋體封裝設備。In a preferred embodiment, the motor drive member is used to adjust the bearings of the guide rail. In such a case, the adjustment of the angle does not require the use of a tool, and it can be applied to a bag-packaging device that is controlled and operated by a computer.

以下,係以第1圖至第6圖釋明根據本發明之管形袋體之末端區域之開啟裝置、方法以及底部結構形成的流程,為求容易理解,於第1圖至第3圖係僅示意性質地繪製本發明之必要元件。Hereinafter, the opening device, the method, and the bottom structure forming process of the end region of the tubular bag according to the present invention are explained in the first to sixth figures. For the sake of easy understanding, in the first to third figures The necessary elements of the invention are only schematically depicted.

管形袋體之末端區域之開啟裝置1(以下簡稱開啟裝置1)包含一運輸手段2,其係以一輸送帶形式呈現,連續地以一運輸速度V往一運輸方向T移動。複數管 形袋體10係以其縱向延伸L垂直於運輸方向T之形式平躺於所述運輸手段2上(或稱於所述輸送帶上)。於輸送帶上,管形袋體10係藉由一固定手段(圖中未繪示)加以固定,以避免管形袋體10滑動。The opening device 1 of the end region of the tubular bag body (hereinafter referred to as the opening device 1) comprises a transport means 2 which is presented in the form of a conveyor belt which is continuously moved at a transport speed V to a transport direction T. Complex tube The body 10 is laid flat on the transport means 2 (or on the conveyor belt) in the form of a longitudinal extension L perpendicular to the transport direction T. On the conveyor belt, the tubular bag body 10 is fixed by a fixing means (not shown) to prevent the tubular bag body 10 from sliding.

舉例而言,管形袋體10係可藉由複數呈網狀結構的小型伸縮塑膠帶所製備。所述小型伸縮塑膠帶係可包含聚乙烯、聚丙烯或是聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)之材料。可選擇地,所述網狀結構係包含一合成材料之塗層。可替代地,管形袋體10係亦可以利用一塑膠膜製成。For example, the tubular bag body 10 can be prepared by a plurality of small stretchable plastic tapes having a mesh structure. The small telescopic plastic tape may comprise polyethylene, polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Optionally, the network structure comprises a coating of a synthetic material. Alternatively, the tubular bag body 10 can also be made of a plastic film.

管形袋體10係具有二開啟的末端區域10e、10f,相對彼此而設置。自一開啟之管體端部10k與一底部中心線10j之間延伸的末端區域10e係將會形成一交叉底部結構。於後續的程序中,末端區域10f亦可以藉由相同方式形成一交叉底部結構,藉此可以製造出一盒型袋子結構或一盒型閥袋。The tubular bag body 10 has two open end regions 10e, 10f which are disposed relative to each other. The end region 10e extending between the open tubular body end 10k and a bottom centerline 10j will form an intersecting bottom structure. In the subsequent procedure, the end region 10f can also form a cross-bottom structure in the same manner, whereby a box-type bag structure or a box-type valve bag can be manufactured.

於第1圖中,可以看到於最初狀態時,管形袋體10係以一第一平面ε 1平坦地被置放於所述運輸手段2。於此狀態時,一第一管壁10a與一第二管壁10b係相互抵持。接著,藉由一底部中心折疊軌道12以及擋止板11a、11b,管形袋體10之末端區域10e係從所述平坦置放的袋體10所構成之第一平面ε 1沿著底部中心線10j被移動到方向與第一平面ε 1相互垂直之一第二平面ε 2。於此,底部結構的組成亦可以不需此一折疊步驟。In Fig. 1, it can be seen that in the initial state, the tubular bag body 10 is placed flat on the transport means 2 with a first plane ε 1 . In this state, a first tube wall 10a and a second tube wall 10b are mutually abutting. Next, the end region 10e of the tubular bag body 10 is formed from the first plane ε 1 of the flatly placed bag body 10 along the bottom center by a bottom center folding rail 12 and the stopper plates 11a, 11b. The line 10j is moved to a second plane ε 2 whose direction is perpendicular to the first plane ε 1 . Here, the composition of the bottom structure may not require this folding step.

第2圖係顯示管形袋體10之末端區域10e係 完全地沿底部中心線10j以一垂直方向朝向上方折疊(朝第二平面ε 2)。此時,所述底部中心折疊軌道12係延伸於運輸方向T並且與擋止板11a協同運作,而使得已被折疊至第二平面ε 2之袋體10之末端區域10e能相對袋體10所置放之第一平面ε 1保持一角度位置關係。所述開啟裝置1更包含二抽吸裝置13、14,其係可藉由橫向導引手段15、16達成方向與所述運輸方向T相互垂直之往復移動(圖式係為象徵性的繪示)。所述橫向導引手段15、16係可以為軌道或是旋轉臂。可替代地,橫向導引手段15、16亦可以為活塞/活塞桶套組,且抽吸裝置13、14係設置於活塞之自由端,而可垂直運輸方向T往復移動。於一實施態樣中,橫向導引手段15、16係可以藉由斜向導引手段17、18沿著一斜方向S往復移動,所述斜方向S係由運輸方向T朝底部中心線10j或其假想延伸線所夾擠之一夾角α 所定義。所述底部中心線10j或其相對延伸線係自第一平面ε 1朝運輸方向T而延伸。所述斜向導引手段17、18亦可以藉由軌道、旋轉臂、活塞/活塞桶套組等結構達成。Fig. 2 shows that the end region 10e of the tubular bag body 10 is completely folded upward in a vertical direction along the bottom center line 10j (toward the second plane ε 2). At this time, the bottom center folding rail 12 extends in the transport direction T and cooperates with the stopper plate 11a so that the end region 10e of the bag body 10 which has been folded to the second plane ε 2 can be opposed to the bag body 10 The first plane ε 1 placed is maintained at an angular positional relationship. The opening device 1 further comprises two suction devices 13, 14 which are reciprocally movable perpendicular to the transport direction T by means of the lateral guiding means 15, 16 (the figure is symbolic representation) ). The lateral guiding means 15, 16 can be a track or a rotating arm. Alternatively, the lateral guiding means 15, 16 may also be a piston/piston barrel set, and the suction means 13, 14 are arranged at the free end of the piston and are reciprocally movable in the vertical transport direction T. In an embodiment, the lateral guiding means 15, 16 can be reciprocated along the oblique direction S by the oblique guiding means 17, 18 from the transport direction T toward the bottom center line 10j. Or the angle α of one of the imaginary extension lines is defined by the angle α . The bottom centerline 10j or its relative extension extends from the first plane ε 1 towards the transport direction T. The oblique guiding means 17, 18 can also be realized by a structure such as a rail, a rotating arm, a piston/piston barrel set or the like.

於第2圖中,係繪示所述二抽吸裝置13、14分別自末端區域10e的不同側與第一管壁10a及第二管壁10b接觸,抽吸裝置13、14係可以產生抽吸力,因此第一抽吸裝置13係吸住第一管壁10a,而第二抽吸裝置14則係吸住第二管壁10b。需要說明的是,當所述抽吸裝置13、14與所述管壁10a、10b接觸時,所述抽吸裝置13、14係沿著斜方向S移動,並且,於其移動速度量值當中,方向 與運輸方向T相同之分量,大小係與開啟裝置10之運輸速度V相等,因而可以避免所述管壁10a、10b發生扭曲的情況。接著,此二抽吸裝置13、14係沿垂直運輸方向T之方向遠離彼此而移動(分別以箭頭P1與P2示意),藉此,此二抽吸裝置13、14係分別拖拉其對應管壁10a、10b而可以開啟管形袋體10之末端區域10e。由於抽吸裝置13、14係沿著斜方向S移動,因此抽吸裝置13、14於管壁10a、10b上的吸引點係可以相對底部中心線10j進行控制,甚至可以於開啟裝置1操作期間進行調整。藉此,所述開啟裝置1係可適用於具有不同長度之末端區域10e之袋體10,而此些具有不同長度之末端區域10e之袋體10係可以形成具有不同寬度之袋體結構成品。除此之外,由於抽吸裝置13、14於管壁10a、10b上之吸引點係可以加以調整,因此抽吸裝置13、14係可以盡可能地靠近袋體10之外部末端,而可以增加開啟程序之精準度。藉由以上所述,於開啟步驟前,末端區域10e是否相對剩餘的袋體10沿著底部中心線10j折疊(如第2圖所繪示)則不會有所影響。若於開啟過程中,末端區域10e尚未折疊,換句話說,末端區域10e係仍位於第一平面ε 1時,則開啟裝置1會被旋轉而使抽吸裝置13、14以自上而下的方向進行吸引。於此,僅須確認末端區域10e之至少一部分是處於暴露於外界的狀態即可。In the second figure, the two suction devices 13 and 14 are respectively in contact with the first pipe wall 10a and the second pipe wall 10b from different sides of the end region 10e, and the suction devices 13, 14 can be pumped. Suction, so that the first suction device 13 sucks the first tube wall 10a, and the second suction device 14 sucks the second tube wall 10b. It should be noted that when the suction devices 13, 14 are in contact with the tube walls 10a, 10b, the suction devices 13, 14 are moved along the oblique direction S, and among the moving speed amounts thereof. The direction is the same as the transport direction T, and the size is equal to the transport speed V of the opening device 10, so that the tube walls 10a, 10b can be prevented from being twisted. Then, the two suction devices 13, 14 are moved away from each other in the direction of the vertical transport direction T (indicated by arrows P1 and P2, respectively), whereby the two suction devices 13, 14 respectively drag the corresponding pipe walls The end regions 10e of the tubular bag body 10 can be opened by 10a, 10b. Since the suction means 13, 14 are moved in the oblique direction S, the attraction points of the suction means 13, 14 on the tube walls 10a, 10b can be controlled relative to the bottom center line 10j, even during the operation of the opening means 1. Make adjustments. Thereby, the opening device 1 can be applied to the bag body 10 having the end regions 10e of different lengths, and the bag bodies 10 having the end regions 10e of different lengths can form the finished bag structure having different widths. In addition, since the suction points of the suction devices 13, 14 on the tube walls 10a, 10b can be adjusted, the suction devices 13, 14 can be as close as possible to the outer end of the bag body 10, and can be increased Turn on the accuracy of the program. By the above, before the opening step, whether the end region 10e is folded relative to the remaining bag body 10 along the bottom center line 10j (as shown in Fig. 2) will not be affected. If the end region 10e has not been folded during the opening process, in other words, the end region 10e is still at the first plane ε 1, the opening device 1 is rotated to make the suction devices 13, 14 top-down. The direction is attractive. Here, it is only necessary to confirm that at least a part of the end region 10e is in a state of being exposed to the outside.

第3圖係顯示於管形袋體10之末端區域10e處於一開啟狀態時,一空隙10g係形成於管壁10a、10b之 間。於第3圖中,同時也可以看到抽吸裝置13、14不再具有吸引力而使抽吸裝置13、14不再吸引對應之管壁10a、10b,因此抽吸裝置13、14可以沿所述斜方向S移動復位而可為下一袋體10之開啟程序做準備。於第3圖中,有關後續於開啟裝置1下游的形成底部結構步驟所對應的工作站結構,在此並不加以標號,其亦不屬於本發明申請專利範圍所欲保護之標的。Fig. 3 shows a gap 10g formed in the tube walls 10a, 10b when the end region 10e of the tubular bag body 10 is in an open state. between. In Fig. 3, it can also be seen that the suction devices 13, 14 are no longer attractive so that the suction devices 13, 14 no longer attract the corresponding tube walls 10a, 10b, so that the suction devices 13, 14 can be The oblique direction S is moved and reset to prepare for the opening process of the next bag 10. In Fig. 3, the structure of the workstation corresponding to the step of forming the bottom structure downstream of the opening device 1 is not labeled here, nor is it intended to be protected by the scope of the invention.

於第4圖至第6圖當中,係以標號20表示所述開啟裝置1之一底部開啟單元20。第4圖係為底部開啟單元20之立體示意圖,第5圖則為底部開啟單元20略微簡化之底部平面圖,第6圖則為其側面示意圖。為求容易理解,第5圖中係僅繪示一個抽吸裝置14。於底部開啟單元20中,所述抽吸裝置13、14係設置於定位器3上並朝彼此旋轉。由於底部開啟單元20係大致上對稱設置,下文中雖僅藉由所述及之相關元件說明用途,但應知相對位於另一側的未述及之元件,其結構與功用係與其對應之元件相同。In the fourth to sixth figures, a bottom opening unit 20 of the opening device 1 is denoted by reference numeral 20. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the bottom opening unit 20, Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the bottom opening unit 20 which is slightly simplified, and Fig. 6 is a side view thereof. For ease of understanding, only one suction device 14 is shown in FIG. In the bottom opening unit 20, the suction devices 13, 14 are arranged on the positioner 3 and are rotated towards each other. Since the bottom opening unit 20 is substantially symmetrically disposed, the following description will be made only by the related elements described above, but it should be understood that the components and functions corresponding to the elements not mentioned above are located on the other side. the same.

定位器3係樞設於二相對平行之旋轉臂4、5之第一端,而二旋轉臂4、5之至少一旋轉臂4(於此,係為旋轉臂4)係被驅動而可以垂直運輸方向T樞轉。二旋轉臂4、5之第二端係樞設於一支撐托架7,而支撐托架7係被驅動而可以於一導軌22內沿所述斜方向S往復移動。底部開啟單元20係被固定於一支撐件30上,而導軌22係指向運輸方向T,並且係平行於所述斜方向S(請參閱第6 圖)。The positioner 3 is pivotally disposed at a first end of the two parallel rotating arms 4, 5, and at least one of the rotating arms 4, 5 (here, the rotating arm 4) is driven to be vertical The transport direction T pivots. The second ends of the two rotating arms 4, 5 are pivotally disposed on a support bracket 7, and the support bracket 7 is driven to reciprocate in the oblique direction S in a guide rail 22. The bottom opening unit 20 is fixed to a support member 30, and the guide rail 22 is directed to the transport direction T and is parallel to the oblique direction S (see section 6). Figure).

所述定位器3、二旋轉臂4、5以及所述支撐托架7係形成一平行四邊形單元8,且其平行四邊形組態於樞轉時亦維持。因此,當二旋轉臂4、5樞轉時,定位器3以及設置於其上之抽吸裝置13、14係可以相對管壁10a、10b保持其方向性,因而可以避免在開啟過程中管壁10a、10b發生扭轉的情況。The positioner 3, the two rotating arms 4, 5 and the support bracket 7 form a parallelogram unit 8, and its parallelogram configuration is also maintained during pivoting. Therefore, when the two rotating arms 4, 5 are pivoted, the positioner 3 and the suction means 13, 14 disposed thereon can maintain their directionality with respect to the tube walls 10a, 10b, thereby avoiding the tube wall during the opening process. 10a, 10b are twisted.

於第4圖中,每一旋轉臂4、5係被驅動而可藉由一角桿23達成樞轉,所述角桿23係與旋轉臂4、5接設以及與一桿件9所連接,所述桿件9係樞設於一控制支架21。控制支架21係嵌設於導軌22內並可往復移動於其中。所述支撐托架7與控制支架21係藉由齒型皮帶傳動件24、25進行驅動。In Fig. 4, each of the swivel arms 4, 5 is driven to be pivoted by a corner rod 23 which is connected to the swivel arms 4, 5 and to a rod member 9, The rod 9 is pivotally mounted on a control bracket 21 . The control bracket 21 is embedded in the guide rail 22 and reciprocally movable therein. The support bracket 7 and the control bracket 21 are driven by the toothed belt drive members 24, 25.

於第4圖中,更可見底部開啟單元20上包含具有凹入部28的長型孔27,藉此係可以調整導軌22的位置。In Fig. 4, it is further seen that the bottom opening unit 20 includes an elongated hole 27 having a recessed portion 28, whereby the position of the guide rail 22 can be adjusted.

參閱第5圖,可以看到支撐托架7與控制支架21係分別藉由齒型皮帶傳動件24、25沿著導軌22移動。在合適的控制下,前述之平行四邊形單元8(設置有抽吸裝置13、14,圖未繪示)係可以沿雙箭頭26所指出之方向進行移動,其中箭頭T係為第1圖至第3圖中所指涉之運輸方向T。藉由支撐托架7與控制支架21的相對運動(對於旋轉臂4、5而言,其係轉變為藉由桿件9與角桿23所達成之樞轉運動),可以達成一啟閉動作。於第5圖中,需 要特別說明的是,甚至於當旋轉臂4、5進行樞轉時,基於樞轉形式為平行四邊形架構之緣故,定位器3乃至於抽吸裝置14相對導軌22平面的方向性亦未有所改變。Referring to Figure 5, it can be seen that the support bracket 7 and the control bracket 21 are moved along the guide rail 22 by the toothed belt drive members 24, 25, respectively. Under suitable control, the aforementioned parallelogram unit 8 (provided with suction means 13, 14 (not shown) can be moved in the direction indicated by the double arrow 26, wherein the arrow T is the first to the first 3 The transport direction T referred to in the figure. By the relative movement of the support bracket 7 and the control bracket 21 (for the rotating arms 4, 5, which is converted into a pivotal movement by the rod 9 and the corner rod 23), an opening and closing action can be achieved. . In Figure 5, It should be particularly noted that even when the rotating arms 4, 5 are pivoted, the positioner 3 has no directivity with respect to the plane of the guide rail 22 of the suction device 14 based on the pivotal form of the parallelogram structure. change.

於第6圖中,係可看到相對於底部中心線10j或底部中心線10j所在的第一平面ε 1之底部開啟單元20之至少二個角度位置。於第6圖中,所述底部開啟單元20係緊密地藉由其較下凹入部28與支撐件30相互螺鎖,據此而定義出二軸承點,其以線段A1連接。線段A1係平行於導軌22之縱軸且平行於所述斜方向S,據此導軌22係與控制支架21、支撐托架7、桿件9、平行四邊形單元8以及相對設置於平行四邊形單元上之抽吸裝置13、14沿著相對於底部中心線10j或第一平面ε 1構成一夾角α 之方向移動,使得不同寬度的袋體10都可以精準地被開啟。就此而言,使導軌22平行於斜方向S設置是重要的。為了要改變角度,係將底部開啟單元20透過其較上凹入部28與支撐件30緊密的相互螺鎖,因此又再定義出二軸承點,其係以線段A2連接。由上述調整所產生的導軌22縱軸之夾角(其同樣也是斜方向S與底部中心線10j所定義之夾角),其角度為β ,較α 小。僅管進行不同的角度調整,仍不會影響底部開啟單元20對於末端區域10e的開啟,進而使得當袋體10被輸送至後續的擴口工具時,不會有袋體10無法被導引或是袋體10處於相對不明確的狀態發生。;換句話說,於開啟程序工作站與後續程序工作站之間不需要額外添加一工作站,針對方向不適切的袋體10進行調整。In Fig. 6, at least two angular positions of the bottom opening unit 20 with respect to the first plane ε 1 of the bottom center line 10j or the bottom center line 10j can be seen. In Fig. 6, the bottom opening unit 20 is screwed tightly to the support member 30 by its lower recessed portion 28, whereby two bearing points are defined which are connected by a line segment A1. The line segment A1 is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail 22 and parallel to the oblique direction S, whereby the guide rail 22 is coupled to the control bracket 21, the support bracket 7, the rod member 9, the parallelogram unit 8, and the oppositely disposed on the parallelogram unit. the suction devices 13, 14 or along the bottom center line 10j constituting a first plane ε 1 angle α of a moving direction, so that the bag body 10 of different widths can be turned with respect to the accurately. In this regard, it is important to arrange the guide rails 22 parallel to the oblique direction S. In order to change the angle, the bottom opening unit 20 is tightly interlocked with the support member 30 through its upper recessed portion 28, so that two bearing points are again defined, which are connected by a line segment A2. The angle formed by the above-mentioned adjustment of the longitudinal axis of the guide rail 22 (which is also the angle defined by the oblique direction S and the bottom center line 10j) is β , which is smaller than α . Even if different angle adjustments are made, the opening of the bottom opening unit 20 to the end region 10e is not affected, so that when the bag body 10 is transported to the subsequent flaring tool, the bag body 10 cannot be guided or It is the bag body 10 that is in a relatively unclear state. In other words, there is no need to add an additional workstation between the open program workstation and the subsequent program workstation, and the bag 10 that is not oriented is adjusted.
