Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus for use in a bag packaging machine, namely an apparatus for reversing a vessel accommodating contents to be filled into a container such as, for example, a packaging bag. More specifically, the present invention relates to a contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus for reversing a vessel accommodating contents to be filled into a container from a upright state to an inverted state, thereby dropping downward and filling the contents into a packaging container disposed underneath, when foods or the like are packaged in the packaging container. The present invention also relates to a contents-filling vessel for accommodating contents to be filled into a packaging container which vessel are suitable for use with the contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus.
  • a vessel is held by gripping members provided at one end of an rotating arm and the vessel is reversed from an upright state to an inversed state by rotating the arm by approximately 180 degrees, and the vessel still in a being accelerated state is released at this reversed position.
  • the vessel is then hit and stopped by such as a stopper plate or the like to discharge the contents contained in the vessel downwardly. Therefore, a big impact noise is generated at hitting, thereby resulting in one of causes responsible for deteriorated working environments.
  • the vessel may be chipped in part when hitting on the stopper, which may poses a problem that fragments generated are mixed into the packaging container (vessels made of resin are used in many cases).
  • a cushion member made of, for example, rubber or the like is provided at the stopper portion.
  • the impact noise is reduced to a certain extent, this attempt is still not deemed satisfactory.
  • the rubber as the cushion member as well as the vessel are worn and in some cases, fragments are mixed into the contents to be filled.
  • discharging of the contents from the vessel may become imperfect due to the cushioning action of the cushion member.
  • the vessels usually have a smooth outer circumference, upper and lower end faces free from projections and depressions.
  • engaging surfaces of a pair of gripping members for gripping the vessel is also formed smooth. Therefore, it is necessary to grip the vessel with a considerably strong force in order to prevent the vessel from slipping off from the gripping members when the vessel is reversed.
  • a small portion of the contents may adhere onto the outer circumference of the vessel.
  • the strength of the gripping force should be set at a higher level. Accordingly, wear of the vessel becomes excessive and durability becomes poor. Besides, there is a possibility that foreign matters generated by wear are mixed into the contents.
  • the present invention is made in light of the problems with the prior art as mentioned above.
  • the object of the present invention is to present a contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus capable of discharging the contents from the vessel without hitting it against a stopper or the like, thereby preventing generation of noises to realize favorable working environments, and in addition, avoiding breakage of the vessel and preventing entry of fragments of the vessel into the contents to be filled.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to present a contents-filling vessel for accommodating contents to be filled into a packaging container which can be used favorably with the above-mentioned contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus.
  • the gripping members grip a vessel and rotate, and when the gripping members stop at the reversal stop position, the vessel is in a reversed state and stopped, thereby discharging the contents in the vessel due to the inertia force.
  • the empty vessel is still griped by the gripping members even after it is reversed and the contents is discharged, and is released towards the vessel carrying-out device on the way returning to the gripping stop position. Therefore, there is no direct collision of a vessel with a stopper plate as observed in the prior art and problems of chipping of vessels, entry of foreign matters into a packaging container and deterioration of working environments do not occur.
  • the reversal stop position can be regulated to any desired position by the reversal stop position regulating device and, therefore, it is possible to regulate the reversal stop position according to properties and amount of the contents to be filled, processing rate or the like to ensure accurate dropping of the contents into a packaging container disposed directly underneath.
  • the main rotating member comprises a main rotating shaft rotating intermittently in one direction every 180 degrees
  • the rotating device further comprises a supporting shaft supported by the main rotating shaft in parallel to the main rotating shaft in an axial direction and designed to be reciprocally rotatable around an axis thereof between an initial position and a rotated position.
  • the contents-filling vessel reversing apparatus further comprises a supporting shaft rotating device for rotating the supporting shaft.
  • the reversing stop position regulating device regulates the rotated position of the supporting shaft, and the pair of gripping members are mounted on one end of the supporting shaft.
  • the supporting shaft rotating device is designed to change the relative position of the supporting shaft to the main rotating shaft in the direction of rotation by turning the supporting shaft. Therefore, even when two sets of gripping members are provided and these are rotated intermittently every 180 degrees by the reversing device, it is possible to change the reversal stop position while the gripping stop position is fixed.
  • the supporting shaft is rotated during the reversal operation.
  • the way of rotating of the supporting shaft for example by not tilting the vessel greatly at the earlier stage of reversal and tilting the vessel rapidly and greatly at the last end stage of reversal, depending on type, properties, and amount of contents to be filled, it is possible to prevent the contents from flying out from the vessel at an stage earlier than desired.

  • a predetermined range in the groove extending in the opposite directions from a position corresponding to the rotated position of the supporting shaft, at least a radius of curvature of an inner wall of said groove is made shorter than a radius of curvature of the inner wall in a rest range in the groove so that a width of the groove in said predetermined range is larger than a width of the groove in the rest range.
  • the reversal stop regulating device is provided with a positioning stopper which abuts against the lever to position the lever at the reversal stop position, and a stopper position regulating device for regulating the position of the stopper.
  • compositions mentioned above it is possible to change the reversal stop position only by adjusting the position of the stopper, and the gripping stop position is unchanged even when the reversal stop position is changed. Therefore, the adjustment can be done easily.

Besides, if a groove is formed on the vessel, breakage of the vessel due to collision of fellow thin strip projections of adjacent vessels as may be observed when the thin strip projection is formed on the vessel can be avoided.
