Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for making, handling, and filling pouches.
  • a typical apparatus for producing packages each comprising a mass of granules or particles in a sealed plastic pouch typically has, spaced apart along a production path, an intake station, a pouch-puckering station, a pouch-depuckering station, a filling station, a sealing station, and a discharge station at a downstream end of the path.
  • the intake station can simply receive premade pouches.
  • at least partially thermoplastic synthetic-resin film is formed with a longitudinal fold then subdivided by pairs of transverse welds into a succession of normally rectangular pouches that are joined together and advanced longitudinally downstream as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,272,815 whose entire disclosure is herewith incorporated by reference.
  • the film constituting the pouches is typically made of polypropylene, polyethylene, multilayer film or the like that is inexpensive, easily printed, weldable, and sufficiently dense to form a hermetic package.
  • Each pouch thus has normally identical front and back panels joined together at the bottom at a unitary fold and side edges each formed by a respective one of the transverse welds.
  • This intake station also has a pouch-separating function where a transverse cut is made through the folded film between two immediately adjacent side welds. Before this is done the pouches are typically gripped by conveyor clamps at the upper ends of the side edges so that, when separated, they are held, normally in an upright position with the open end of the pouch directed upward.
  • the two clamps that grip the two upper corners of each pouch are moved longitudinally toward each other, which can be done when both clamps are moving by momentarily slowing the leading clamp or speeding up the trailing clamp, or after stopping the pair of clamps by moving one toward the other or both toward each other.
  • suction grippers can pull the front and back panels is transversely away from each other at the top so that the result is an upwardly open pouch presenting a relatively wide opening.
  • the grippers can be two-part clamps that open and close or they can be vacuum-actuated suction cups. It is possible to grip two pouches with only three clamps, with the middle clamp holding the trailing edge of the downstream pouch and the leading edge of the upstream pouch.
  • the material is loaded into the upwardly open pouch, whether this is a granular material like kitty litter or sugar, or a single object, or even a number of objects like, for instance potato chips, dry soup, nuts, or the like.
  • the two clamps that grip the two upper corners of each filled pouch are then moved apart, again by momentarily accelerating the leading clamp or braking the trailing clamp, so that upper edges of the panels forming the pouch engage each other. It is also possible to form a slide fastener or other releasable strip-type closure below the upper pouch edge so that, after the upper edge is opened by for instance tearing it off, the pouch can be resealed.
  • the upper edges are welded together, producing a hermetically closed container holding whatever contents were inserted into it in the filling station.
  • the finished sealed pouches are dropped into a chute leading to a packaging station, or directly into a carton or the like.
  • Each carriage rides via rollers on the track and carries a plurality of permanent magnets.
  • the track is provided internally with a succession of small individually energizable electromagnets that can be energized by an electronic and programmable controller so as to control the movements of the carriages along the track and also their spacing from one another.
  • pairs of the carriages are set at a spacing corresponding to a length of an unpuckered flat pouch at the cutting station when their clamps are clipped onto a respective pouch as it is being cut free from the film, then as the pairs of clamps are moved by their carriages downstream their relative spacings are decreased to pucker the pouch for filling and again increased to depucker it for welding closed, and at the downstream end of the working stretch the clamps are released so that the carriages can be returned upstream.
  • This system has the considerable advantage that it is mechanically relatively simple and that it can be programmed electronically for a change in pouch format. It has the considerable disadvantage that it is very expensive in that track with its row of coils is a very pricey item and each electromagnet coil must be connected to the controller.
  • Another object is the provision of such an improved transport system for a pouch-making and -filling system that overcomes the above-given disadvantages, in particular that is of relatively simple construction but that can be readily reprogrammed for a change in pouch size or format.
  • a transport system for the machine has according to the invention an endless track having a working stretch extending along the path and a return stretch extending from a downstream end of the working stretch to an upstream end of the working stretch and a plurality of carriages each carrying at least one permanent magnet and a clamp.
  • This electromagnetic drive advances the carriages downstream through the working stretch while varying the travel speeds of at least half of the carriages in the working stretch so as to pucker and depucker pouches held in the clamps of the carriages.
  • a simple drive of the mechanical or electronic frequency-controlled type shifts the carriages at a generally constant speed downstream in the return stretch from the downstream end of the path to the upstream end of the path.
  • the transport system for the pouch-making and -filling machine is significantly simplified.
  • the electronic drive such as described in above-U.S. Pat. No. 6,876,107 is used.
  • the machine can consist only of a pouch puckering filling section to which are fed premade pouches.
  • the critical clamp spacing is easy to vary.
  • a simple conveyor for instance a toothed belt engaging upstanding pins atop the individual carriages or a simple frequency-controlled conveyor, can move the carriages back to the upstream end.
  • the return stretch includes arcuate upstream and downstream turnaround regions at the upstream and downstream ends of the working stretch and a straight region extending generally parallel to the working stretch between the turnaround regions.
  • the simple return conveyor can comprise respective upstream and downstream wheels at the turnaround regions.
  • each of the turnaround regions has a respective arcuate array of electromagnets forming part of a simple frequency-controlled return conveyor.
  • the simple conveyor displaces the carriages along the return stretch at a higher is average speed than an average speed at which the carriages are moved by the controller in the working stretch.
  • the considerable advantage of this is that the simple return conveyor can operate at a very high speed, thereby reducing the return time of a carriage to a small fraction of the time it takes to traverse the working stretch, so that a significantly smaller number of the carriages is needed.
  • the machine further has downstream of the intake station and upstream of the filling station a puckering station where individual pouches made from a weldable film are opened for filling. Downstream therefrom is a depuckering station where the upwardly directed mouth of the puckered pouch is opened.
  • FIG. 1 is a small-scale view of a pouch-making and -filling machine according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a partly schematic perspective view of the FIG. 1 machine
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of a portion of the track of the transport system of this invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a section taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 3 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a pouch transfer mechanism according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the puckering station at the upstream end of the working stretch
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the upstream end of the upstream ends of the working and return stretched according to the invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a side view of the transfer carriage that loads the pouches into the grippers at the upstream end of the working stretch.
  • FIG. 9 is another perspective view of a pair of pouch grippers.
  • a machine according to the invention extends in a longitudinal travel direction 10 and has a folding station A, a welding station B, and a cutting station C as described in US 2010/0255372, whose disclosure is herewith incorporated by reference, together forming an intake station in which a sheet of plastic film is folded in half, then given a series of transversely throughgoing welds, and then cut into individual pouches P between the welds as is well known in the art.
  • the individual pouches P are then oriented with their mouths directed upward and are each gripped between two longitudinally spaced carriage clamps 11 on a track 12 to proceed downstream in the direction 10 .
  • the clamps 11 of each pouch P are moved apart in the direction 10 to flatten the open mouth of the pouches P, which are then welded shut in the closing sealing station G. Finally the filled sealed pouches are released by the clamps 11 in the discharge station H to be packaged and prepared for shipping.
  • FIGS. 2 , 7 , and 8 clearly shows how the track 12 is annular, that is an endless loop having a straight working stretch 12 a , a straight return stretch 12 b extending parallel to the stretch 12 a , and semicircular upstream and downstream turnaround regions 12 a and 12 b that respectively connect together the upstream and downstream ends of the stretches 12 a and 12 b.
  • the carriages/clamps 12 are advanced in the working stretch 12 a by an electronic conveyor of the type described in above-cited U.S. Pat. No. 6,876,107 comprising a row of electromagnets operated by a programmable controller. More particularly as shown in some detail in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the track 12 is formed in the stretch 12 a as a rigid rail 18 carrying two rows of electromagnets or coils 19 that can be energized individually or group-wise by the controller 17 .
  • the carriage clamps 11 each have a body 20 that surrounds most of the rail 18 and that carries level with each row of coils or electromagnets 19 a respective pair of permanent magnets.
  • Rollers 21 support the carriage bodies 20 on the rail 20 and brackets 22 support a standard two-finger clamp of the type described in several of the above-cited references.
  • This structure shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 allows the carriages 11 to be advanced along the working stretch 12 a at spacings and speeds that can easily be controlled at such a level that adjacent carriages 11 can be moved at different speeds and the spacings between cartridges can be changed as they move along the stretch 11 a , thereby allowing the puckering and depuckering to be done, and to, when necessary, adjust for pouches P of different sizes.
  • the carriages 11 are advanced by the simple mechanical conveyor 14 that operates continuously and that can be as simple toothed belt engaging the carriages and moving them back opposite the direction 10 at high speed, such as described in WO 2009/0152249 whose entire disclosure is herewith incorporated by reference.
  • the speed at which the conveyor 14 works is much greater than the average speed the conveyor 13 moves the carriages 11 at in the working stretch 12 a .
  • a simple frequency-controlled electromagnet-type conveyor can serve to speed the carriages 11 back to the upstream end of the return stretch 12 b.
  • arcuate electronic drives such as used in the stretch 12 a . It is however more advantageous to advance the carriages 11 by simple toothed wheels or sprockets 15 and 16 that engage the pins atop the carriages 11 .
  • the downstream sprocket 15 rotates continuously at a peripheral speed equal to that of the return conveyor 14 , so that the carriages 11 are accelerates up to the return speed by the sprocket 15 .
  • the upstream sprocket 16 can also operate at this high speed, or at a lower speed to slow the carriages down to the speed at which they must enter the working stretch 12 a.
  • FIG. 5 shows an example of a pouch gripper according to the invention that is mounted to the machine frame. It has a body 24 that is fixed to the frame of the machine. It also has an actuator connected via a linkage 26 to a pair of gripper arms 27 .
  • FIG. 9 Another system is shown in FIG. 9 where a gripper adapted to fit around the rail 12 and be secured to a respective carriage 11 has a body 28 that carries a pivotal gripper arm 29 carried on a bracket 29 so that an edge of a pouch P can be pressed against the body 28 and held in place.
  • the grippers are in pairs and one of the arms 29 reaches from the left and the other from the right so they are out of the way when holding a pouch.
