Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sonotrode for ultrasound sealing and cutting units.
- the present invention may be used to advantage in units for ultrasound sealing and cutting continuous tubular strips on FFS (Form, Fill and Seal) machines, as described, for example, in US-6, 574 , 944 , and to which the following description refers purely by way of example .
- FFS Form, Fill and Seal
- a continuous tubular strip of thermoplastic material housing an orderly succession of products, is fed along a feed path through an ultrasound sealing and cutting unit, which seals the tubular strip along a succession of transverse seal lines, each extending along a respective portion of the tubular strip between two adjacent products, and cuts the strip along each seal line to obtain a succession of wrapped products .
- the above known ultrasound sealing and cutting unit normally comprises a first and second rotor, which are located on opposite sides of the feed path, have respective pitch surfaces tangent to each other and to the feed path along a line of tangency, and rotate in opposite directions about a first and second axis, respectively, which are parallel to each other and to the line of tangency, and define a plane through the line of tangency and perpendicular to the feed path.
- the first rotor has at least one sealing device comprising a sonotrode, an active sealing surface of which is movable along the respective pitch surface; and the second rotor has at least one anvil, a contrast surface of which, located at the free end of the anvil, is movable along the relative pitch surface and reaches the line of tangency in time with the active sealing surface.
- the contrast surface of the anvil has a central slit engaged by a blade, a cutting edge of which, made of hard metal, normally Vidiam, cooperates with the active sealing surface of the sonotrode to engage and cut the continuous tubular strip at the line of tangency.
- a sonotrode is normally made of aluminium or titanium, or even steel, but definitely not Vidiam on account of its flexural rigidity, and since, in the case of the sealing and cutting unit described above, the active sealing surface of the sonotrode also acts as a contrast surface for the blade, the difference in the surface hardness of the sonotrode and the cutting edge of the blade results in relatively fast wear and, hence, frequent replacement of the sonotrode .
- Number 1 in the attached drawing indicates as a whole an FFS (Form, Fill and Seal) machine, in which a continuous tubular strip 2, housing an orderly succession of products 3, is fed, in known manner not shown, along a feed path P through a sealing station 4, where machine 1 comprises a unit 5, defined by an ultrasound sealing and cutting unit, which seals tubular strip 2 along sealing areas 6 crosswise to the axis of tubular strip 2 and located at respective portions of tubular strip 2 between respective pairs of adjacent products 3, and cuts tubular strip 2 along sealing areas 6 to obtain a succession of sealed wrappings 7 containing respective products 3.
- FFS Form, Fill and Seal
- Unit 5 comprises two rotors 8, which are located on opposite sides of feed path P, rotate in opposite directions about respective parallel axes 9 defining a plane perpendicular to feed path P at sealing station 4, and have respective cylindrical pitch surfaces 10 substantially tangent to each other and to feed path P at sealing station 4.
- Rotors 8 are substantially identical, and each comprise a drive shaft 11 coaxial with relative axis 9 and fitted on its free end with a sleeve 12, from a lateral surface 13 of which a sonotrode 14 of a sealing device 15 and an anvil 16 project radially outwards in diametrically opposite positions.
- Each sonotrode 14 is normally made of aluminium, titanium or steel, and has, at its free end, an active sealing surface 17, which extends along relative pitch surface 10, is a cylindrical surface, and in plan view is substantially rectangular and substantially the same size as a sealing area 6.
- Each anvil 16 is bounded at its free end by a contrast surface 18, which is substantially the same size as a sealing area 6 and has ribs 19 parallel to axes 9 and tangent to relative pitch surface 10.
- a radial longitudinal groove 20, parallel to axes 9, is formed through contrast surface 18 of each anvil 16, and houses a blade 21, a cutting edge 22 of which is tangent to relative pitch surface 10 and made of a metal, normally Vidiam or titanium, of greater surface hardness than the relative sonotrode 14 at relative active sealing surface 17.
- the rotors are offset 180°, and rotate in opposite directions and at the same angular speed about respective axes 9, so that the active sealing surface 17 of sonotrode 14 of one of rotors 8 reaches sealing station 4 together with the contrast surface 18 of anvil
- Each sonotrode 14 has a central cavity 23, which extends, parallel to axes 9, through sonotrode 14, is substantially tangent to relative active sealing surface 17, and communicates with the outside through a slit 24 formed along active sealing surface 17, at the contact area between relative active sealing surface 17 and cutting edge 22 of relative blade 21.
- Each sonotrode 14 also comprises a reinforcing member 25, which is coaxial with relative cavity 23, is fitted inside cavity 23 to close relative slit 24, and is of a surface hardness greater than that of relative sonotrode 14 at relative active sealing surface 17, and substantially equal to that of cutting edge 22 of relative blade 21.
- reinforcing member 25 is also made of Vidiam, and a central portion of active sealing surface
- each sonotrode 14 is defined by a strip 26 of the lateral surface 27 of relative reinforcing member 25.
- Strip 26 is located on relative active sealing surface 17 to cooperate, at sealing station 4, with cutting edge 22 of blade 21 fitted to anvil 16 of the other rotor 8.
- cavity 23 encloses reinforcing member 25 to prevent it from slipping out of cavity 23 through slit 24, which is therefore narrower than reinforcing member 25.
- Cavity 23 and reinforcing member 25 may be of any cross sectional shape.
- cavity 23 is defined by a circular-section through hole formed through sonotrode 14, substantially tangent to active sealing surface 17, and having an axis 28 parallel to axes 9 and at a distance from active sealing surface 17 approximately equal to but no greater than the radius of the hole;
- reinforcing member 25 is defined by a metal, normally Vidiam or titanium, rod fitted inside the hole; and slit 24 is narrower than the diameter of the hole.

Abstract
L'invention concerne une sonotrode (14) ayant, à une extrémité, une surface de scellement active (17) qui coopère avec l'arête de coupe de métal dur (22) d'une lame (21), et ayant une cavité (23) sensiblement tangente à la surface de scellement active (17) et communiquant avec l'extérieur à travers une fente (24) formée le long de la surface de scellement active (17) à une zone de contact entre la surface de scellement active (17) et l'arête de coupe (22); la sonotrode (14) ayant un élément de renforcement (25), qui est coaxial avec la cavité (23), est plus large que la fente (24), est ajusté à l'intérieur de la cavité (23) pour fermer la fente (24) et a une dureté de surface supérieure à celle de la sonotrode (14) au niveau de la surface de scellement active (17) et sensiblement égale à celle de l'arête de coupe (22) de la lame (21).
