- the present invention relates to a bag making and packaging machine for making a bag while forming a gusset (folded portion) on a side portion of the bag.
- a bag making and packaging machine has existed as a device for filling a bag and filling it with an article to be packaged such as snacks while manufacturing the bag.
- a packaging material which is a sheet-like film
- a vertical sealing mechanism Is sealed (thermally welded) to form a cylindrical packaging material.
- the tubular packaging material that finally becomes a bag is filled with an article to be packaged from the tube, and is heat sealed across the upper end portion of the bag and the lower end portion of the succeeding bag by a horizontal sealing mechanism below the tube.
- the center of the heat seal part (lateral seal part) is cut with a cutter.
- some of such bag making and packaging machines perform bag making processing while forming a gusset (folded portion) at a position to be a side portion of the bag.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-156908 published on June 20, 1995
- a pair of left and right gusset plates are driven by an air cylinder with respect to an intermittently conveyed packaging material.
- a vertical bag-making filling and packaging machine that forms gussets on the sides of a bag is disclosed.
- the problem of the present invention is that, in a bag making and packaging machine that continuously conveys packaging materials, even when a gusset forming mechanism is installed, the sealing performance of the lateral seal portion and the like is lowered while efficiently carrying out the bag making process.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a bag making and packaging machine capable of avoiding this.
- the bag making and packaging machine includes a transport unit, a lateral seal mechanism, and a gusset forming mechanism.
- a conveyance part conveys a packaging material continuously.
- the lateral seal mechanism has a seal jaw that revolves while drawing an annular locus, and seals the packaging material with the seal jaw.
- the gusset forming mechanism includes a folding member that forms a gusset by being pressed against both side portions of the packaging material while moving along the conveyance direction of the packaging material before performing horizontal sealing in the lateral sealing mechanism.
- the folding member that creates the gusset (folded portion) on the side portion of the bag is used as the side portion of the bag in the packaging material.
- the folding member is driven so as to move along the conveying direction of the packaging material.
- the gusset forming mechanism is arranged in the vicinity of the horizontal sealing mechanism, and is inserted from the left and right sides of the cylindrical packaging material immediately before performing the horizontal sealing to form a folded portion at a position that becomes a side portion of the bag. It has a folding member. And when a folding member is pressed with respect to the packaging material conveyed continuously, it forms a gusset, moving along the conveyance direction of a packaging material, for example, at substantially the same speed as the conveyance speed of a packaging material. .
- the bag making and packaging machine according to the second invention is the bag making and packaging machine according to the first invention, and the gusset forming mechanism moves the pair of folding members annularly.
- the pair of folding members included in the gusset mechanism are moved along an annular track so as to sandwich the packaging material.
- the above-mentioned movement in an annular shape includes, for example, moving the folding member in the conveying direction of the packaging material along a substantially circular or substantially rectangular track.
- the folding material can be moved in the same direction along the annular track. As a result, good sealing can be performed without causing wrinkles or the like in part of the packaging material.
- the bag making and packaging machine according to the third invention is the bag making and packaging machine according to the first invention or the second invention, and the gusset forming mechanism moves the folding member along a circular orbit.
- the pair of folding members pressed against the packaging material that is continuously conveyed is set to move along the circular orbit in the same conveyance direction as the packaging material at the position where it is pressed against the packaging material. .
- a bag making and packaging machine is the bag making and packaging machine according to any one of the first to third inventions, wherein the gusset forming mechanism has a pair of folding members in contact with the packaging material. In this case, the folding member is moved at a substantially constant speed or slightly faster than the packaging material conveyance speed.
- the folding member is conveyed at a speed that is approximately the same as or slightly faster than the packaging material conveyance speed. Move along the direction.
- the tension applied to the packaging material in the vicinity of the contact portion with the folding member can be minimized. Therefore, avoiding wrinkles and the like in part of the packaging material upstream of the contact portion with the folding member, improving the efficiency of the bag making process by continuous conveyance of the packaging material, and providing a good seal A balance of performance can be realized.
- a bag making and packaging machine is the bag making and packaging machine according to any one of the first to fourth inventions, wherein the gusset forming mechanism further includes a servo motor for driving the pair of folding members. The angular velocity of the servo motor is changed depending on whether the folding member is in contact with the packaging material or not.
- a servo motor is mounted on the gusset forming mechanism as a drive source for driving the pair of folding members.
- the angular speed of the servo motor is set in accordance with the conveyance speed of the packaging material.
- the angular velocity of the servo motor is set so that the folding member moves at a higher speed than when the folding member is in contact with the packaging material.
- the folding member can be moved at an arbitrary speed by the servo motor according to the position of the folding member on the circular orbit.
- the folding member is moved at a speed substantially equal to the conveyance speed of the packaging material by adjusting the set value of the angular speed of the servo motor. It can be moved or moved at high speed for efficiency.
- a bag making and packaging machine is the bag making and packaging machine according to any one of the first to fifth inventions, wherein the gusset forming mechanism is such that the sealing jaw seals the packaging material in the lateral sealing mechanism. In this case, the pair of folding members are separated from the packaging material.
- the folding member that forms the gusset at a position corresponding to the side portion of the bag is moved so as to be separated from the packaging material immediately before the lateral sealing process is performed by the lateral sealing mechanism.
- a bag-making packaging machine is the bag-making packaging machine according to any one of the first to sixth inventions, wherein the folding member includes a thin plate-like member.
- a thin plate member is used as the folding member.

- the gusset is not properly formed due to the turbulence of the air in the rectangular tube film Fm generated when the shutter member 166 sandwiches the rectangular tube film Fm.
- the gusset forming operation on both sides of the square tubular film Fm is finished before the shutter member 166 enters the first state, and the gusset is formed cleanly. I am doing so.
- the lateral seal mechanism 17 of the bag making and packaging machine 3 employs a configuration having a stripper member 155 in addition to the seal jaws 51 and 52 and the shutter member 166, and includes a shutter member 166, a stripper member 155, a seal jaw 51, Each member comes into contact with the square tubular film Fm in the order of 52.
- the folding members 18a and 18b of the gusset forming mechanism 18 that have already formed the gusset before the shutter member 166 sandwiches the rectangular tube-shaped film Fm, the pair of stripper members 155 are closest to each other. In such a state, the state of being in contact with the rectangular tubular film Fm is maintained until the rectangular tubular film Fm is sandwiched.
- the formed gusset G hardly loses its shape due to the turbulence of the air in the rectangular tube film Fm caused by the operation in which the stripper member 155 sandwiches the rectangular tube film Fm. Thereby, the gusset G is formed more beautifully.
- the folding members 18a and 18b which have already formed gussets when the shutter member 166 is in the first state, have a turning speed after the shutter member 166 is in the first state. Become zero. Accordingly, in addition to the above-described effect that the shape of the gusset is not easily broken by the operation of the shutter member 166, the air in the rectangular tube film Fm generated by the operation of the lateral seal mechanism 17 after the shutter member 166 is in the first state. It is possible to suppress the phenomenon that the formed gusset collapses due to the disturbance. This is because the folding members 18a and 18b in which the gussets are formed continue to come into contact with both side portions of the square tubular film Fm in which the gussets are formed.
- the turning speed of the folding members 18a and 18b after the shutter member 166 is in the first state is not limited to zero.
- the speed is not limited to zero.

- the control unit 40 controls the pull-down belt mechanism 14 to reduce the transport speed of the film Fm corresponding to the deceleration section of the folding members 18a and 18b.
- the speed component in the transport direction of the film Fm out of the operating speed of the folding member is slower than the transport speed of the film Fm, so that the folding members 18a and 18b and the film Fm The contact causes resistance to the film Fm, and the film Fm is likely to lose its shape.
- the film Fm transport speed is reduced, the speed component in the film Fm transport direction of the operating speed of the folding member and the film Fm transport speed are close to each other. The shape loss of is suppressed.
- the control unit 40 moves the sealing jaws 51 and 52 at a speed faster than the transport speed of the film Fm (2 of the normal transport speed). Therefore, the speed component in the transport direction of the film Fm out of the moving speed of the stripper member 155 is also increased. As a result, the film Fm is pulled downward to eliminate wrinkles and form a gusset with a crease. Immediately after this, since the film Fm is laterally sealed while being pulled by the stripper member 155, the film Fm is sealed without occurrence of tack.
- the control unit 40 makes the moving speed of the sealing jaws 51 and 52 in the sealing section lower than the conventional speed (indicated by a dotted line), and out of the moving speed of the sealing jaws 51 and 52, the film Fm.
- the speed component in the transport direction is made slower than the transport speed of the film Fm.
- the upper part of the portion of the film Fm that has been subjected to the transverse sealing process approaches the sealing jaws 51 and 52 and is heated so that the film Fm is easily welded.
- the surface that has been changed to a state in which it is easily welded and the one surface of the portion subjected to the lateral sealing treatment are in close contact with each other to form a planar region.
- the flat area makes the bags B stand stably, so that the bags B have a higher effect of attracting consumers than bags that cannot stand.
- both of the pair of stripper members 155 are formed with a notch 155d in the central portion of the main body 155c, but a pair with a notch 155d formed in at least one of them.
- the stripper member may be used.
- the square tube is more than the first space inside the both sides of the square tubular film Fm on which the gusset is formed, in the space inside the contact portion of the square tubular film Fm with which the stripper member abuts. This is because the second space inside the central portion between both side portions of the film Fm is larger.
- the folding members 18a and 18b included in the gusset forming mechanism 18 move along a circular track to form the gusset G on the rectangular tube film Fm.
- the present invention is not limited to this.
- the shape of the trajectory along which the folding member moves is not limited to a circle, and may be, for example, a substantially rectangular box shape, a substantially triangular shape, or a substantially elliptical shape.

- the distance h in the height direction is preferably 10 mm or less, more preferably 5 mm or less. If the folding member 218a is close to the sealing jaws 251a and 251b in side view so far, the gusset forming process is adversely affected or caused by the movement of the pair of shutter members 266 and 266 in a series of lateral sealing operations. Almost no shape is lost.
- the pair of shutter members 266 and 266 in FIG. 20 includes a pair of main body portions 267 and 267 that are rigid bodies, and a pair of auxiliary portions 268 and 268 that are elastic bodies.
- the main body 267 is a metal thin plate member.

- the square tubular film is more than the first space S11 inside the both sides of the square tubular film Fm on which the gusset is formed, in the space inside the contact portion of the square tubular film Fm.
- a stripper member 155 that is larger in the second space S12 inside the central portion between both side portions of Fm is employed, and a deaeration portion that escapes air when sandwiching the square tubular film Fm in the ironing operation This is because (second space S12) is generated only in the central portion between both side portions of the rectangular tube-shaped film Fm.
- the folding members 18a and 18b are kept in contact with the square tubular film Fm until the lateral sealing operation by the sealing jaw 51 is started, and the folding members 18a and 18b are square tubular immediately before the lateral sealing operation is started. It is preferable to control so that it leaves

〔第2実施形態〕
最近の製袋包装機では、横シール機構にシャッタ部材が設けられるものがある。シャッタ部材は、ヒータを内蔵する横シール部材よりも先に包材に当接し、横シール部分となる包材の内側空間へと上方から被包装物が侵入してくることを防ぐ部材である。シャッタ部材を持ち連続的な製袋を行う製袋包装機においては、ガセットをきれいに形成させるためには、ガセット板(折り込み部材)の動きを適切に制御する必要がある。
フォーマ13aの形状は、フィルムロールから繰り出されてきたシート状のフィルムFがフォーマ13aとチューブ13bとの間を通るときに角筒状に成形されるような形状となっている(図7参照)。したがって、成形機構13のチューブ13bは、角筒形状の部材である。
ガセット形成機構18は、図8および図4に示すように、折り込み部材18a,18bと、モータ18cとを備えている。第2実施形態では、モータ18cはステッピングモータである。
横シール機構17は、図11および図12に示すように、主として、左右のシールジョー移動ユニット50a,50bから構成される。これらのシールジョー移動ユニット50a,50bは、それぞれ、2組の一対のシールジョー51,52をD字状(図11の2点鎖線で示すシールジョー51,52の軌跡を参照)に旋回させながら、角筒状フィルムFmを横シールするときに両ユニット50a,50bの一対のシールジョー51,51又はシールジョー52,52を押しつけ合わせるためのユニットである。以下、図11および図12において、角筒状フィルムFmの左側に位置する方を第1シールジョー移動ユニット50a、右側に位置する方を第2シールジョー移動ユニット50bと呼ぶこととする。なお、角筒状フィルムFmは、両シールジョー移動ユニット50a,50bを区切る面C0に沿って、面C0が角筒状フィルムFmの幅方向中心となるような状態で下方に搬送される。
横シール機構17では、上述の構成に加え、シールジョー51,52それぞれに連動するシャッタ部材166およびストリッパ部材155を設け、横シール動作時に商品Cが角筒状フィルムFm内に落下することを規制したり、商品Cを内包する角筒状フィルムFmを下方側にしごいたりしている。以下に、ストリッパ部材155をシールジョー51,52に連動させるしごき機構150と、シャッタ部材166をシールジョー51,52に連動させるシャッタ機構160とについて説明する。
図14A等に示すように、しごき機構150は、左右一対の機構であり、それぞれが、シールジョー51,52を支持するベース部材64に支持される。ベース部材64は、上述していないが、各レバー91d,91e,91f,91g,92d,92e,92f,92gとシールジョー51,52との間に位置する(図12参照)。
シャッタ機構160は、左右一対の機構であり、それぞれが、ベース部材64に支持される(図17A参照)。シャッタ機構160は、それぞれ、シャッタ固定部材161,162と、ストッパー163と、V字部材164と、シャッタ用ベアリング165と、シャッタ部材166と、バネ部材167とから構成されている。また、本実施形態の製袋包装機3は、横シール時の前後においてシャッタ用ベアリング165を誘導するシャッタ用カム170を有している。シャッタ用カム170は、一連の横シール動作におけるシャッタ部材166の姿勢変化によっても一対の両シャッタ部材166の間の隙間寸法が変化しないように、図17Aに示すような傾斜面を含む外面を有する形状にされている。
次に、製袋包装機3の動作について説明する。
次に、ガセット形成機構18によって角筒状フィルムFmの両側部にガセットG(図9および図5B参照)が形成されるときの動作について説明する。
次に、横シール機構17の動作について説明する。
次に、制御部40が行う、ガセット形成機構18と横シール機構17との連動制御について説明する。
(1)
製袋包装機3は、角筒状フィルムFmを連続的に搬送するプルダウンベルト機構14を備えた装置であり、図7および図8に示すように、一対のシールジョー51,51(又はシールジョー52,52)を用いて横シールを行う横シール機構17と、製袋される袋Bの両側部にガセットGを形成するガセット形成機構18とを備えている。ガセット形成機構18は、図4および図5Bに示すように、角筒状フィルムFmとの接触領域において角筒状フィルムFmの搬送速度に近い速度で移動する一対の折り込み部材18a,18bを有し、これらを角筒状フィルムFmの一部に対して押し当てる。
製袋包装機3では、図6等に示すように、ガセット形成機構18が、環状(円形)の軌道に沿って一対の折り込み部材18a,18bを移動させる。
製袋包装機3では、図6等に示すように、ガセット形成機構18が、円形の軌道に沿って一対の折り込み部材18a,18bを移動させる。ここでは、複雑な機構等を介すことなく、比較的簡易な構成により、角筒状フィルムFmの搬送方向に沿って折り込み部材18a,18bを駆動させることができている。
製袋包装機3では、一対のストリッパ部材155が、横シール処理の前に、角筒状フィルムFmを挟み込んだ状態で、角筒状フィルムFmよりも早い速度で角筒状フィルムFmの搬送方向に沿って下方に移動する。これにより、角筒状フィルムFmの横シール対象部分の内側空間にある商品Cが、それよりも下方の空間に落とされ、横シール対象部分への商品Cの噛み込み現象が抑えられる。
製袋包装機3の横シール機構17では、ガセットが形成された角筒状フィルムFmを横シールするときには、ガセットが崩れにくいストリッパ部材155を選択使用し、ガセットが形成されていない筒状フィルムを横シールするときには、従来から使われている第2ストリッパ部材159を選択使用する。これにより、ガセットが形成された角筒状フィルムFmから、ガセットが殆ど崩れずにきれいに形成されている袋Bを製造することができるとともに、ガセットが形成されていない筒状フィルムについては、従来どおりのシール性が保たれた袋を製造することができる。
製袋包装機3では、図4に示すように、ガセット形成機構18に含まれる一対の折り込み部材18a,18bを駆動する駆動源として、モータ18cを搭載している。これにより、比較的簡易な制御によって、折り込み部材18a,18bの旋回軌道の各位置における移動速度(旋回速度)を変化させることができている。
製袋包装機3では、シャッタ部材166が第1状態になったときに既にガセットを形成している折り込み部材18a,18bは、シャッタ部材166が第1状態になった後の旋回速度が、一時的にゼロになる。これにより、シャッタ部材166の動作によってガセットの形が崩れにくいという上述の効果に加え、シャッタ部材166が第1状態になった後の横シール機構17の動作によって生じる角筒状フィルムFm内の空気の乱れによって形成済みのガセットが崩れてしまうという現象を抑えることができている。なぜなら、ガセットを形成した折り込み部材18a,18bが、ガセットの形成された角筒状フィルムFmの両側部に接触し続けるからである。
製袋包装機3では、図7や図8に示すように、ガセット形成機構18に含まれる一対の折り込み部材18a,18bとして、薄肉の板状部材を用いている。これにより、折り込み部材18a,18bにおける板状部分の一部を角筒状フィルムFmの両側部に押し当てるように挿入することで、容易にガセットGを形成することができる。
上記実施形態では、角筒状フィルムFmの搬送速度は一定であるが、変形例に係る製袋包装機3では、折り込み部材18a,18b、シールジョー51,52、及びストリッパ部材155の動作に合わせて搬送速度が制御される。
以上、本発明の第2実施形態および変形例に係る製袋包装機3について説明したが、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。
上記の製袋包装機3では、一対のストリッパ部材155の両方を、本体部155cの中央部分に切り欠き155dが形成されているものとしているが、少なくとも一方に切り欠き155dが形成されている一対のストリッパ部材を採用してもよい。この場合にも、ストリッパ部材が当接する角筒状フィルムFmの当接部分の内側の空間のうち、ガセットが形成された角筒状フィルムFmの両側部の内側の第1空間よりも、角筒状フィルムFmの両側部の間にある中央部の内側の第2空間のほうが大きくなるからである。
上記の製袋包装機3では、ガセット形成機構18に含まれる折り込み部材18a,18bが、円形の軌道に沿って移動して、角筒状フィルムFmにガセットGを形成している。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
上記の製袋包装機3では、一対の折り込み部材18a,18bを、単一の駆動源(モータ18c)によって駆動している。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
上記の製袋包装機3では、一対の折り込み部材18a,18bを駆動する駆動源として、モータ18cを用いている。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
上記の製袋包装機3では、折り込み部材18a,18bとして、略L字形状の薄板材を用いている。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
上記の製袋包装機3に関する説明では、シャッタ部材166が図17Aに示す第1状態になったときにおける折り込み部材18a,18bの高さ位置について明示していないが、横シール機構17とガセット形成機構18とが干渉しない構造を採れるならば、できるだけ折り込み部材18a,18bの下端位置が低いことが望ましい。
上記の製袋包装機3では、ストリッパ部材155が角筒状フィルムFmを挟み込んだ状態になると、折り込み部材18a,18bは、再び旋回し始め、加速しながら角筒状フィルムFmから離れていく。
チューブ13bは、角錐状の漏斗部と、角筒状の胴部とが結合した形状である。このような角型のチューブは、袋形態の多様化に対応するために使用されているが、重量が大きくメンテナンスが困難である。また、円チューブに比べて被包装物によるブリッジが発生しやすい。それ故、チューブ13bの構造として、漏斗部が胴部から分離可能な構造が好ましい。
(I)
図8において、4本の薄板部材13cのうち間隔の狭い2つの薄板部材13cの間には、落下してくる被包装物が挟まれ易いので、そこだけには被包装物が入り込まないことが好ましい。そこで、図22に示す実施形態では、胴部13nの下端で、且つ4本の薄板部材13cのうち間隔の狭い2つの薄板部材の間に、挟み込み防止板13dが設けられている。
角型のチューブ13bと円チューブとでは、外観上の大きさが同じように見えても、角型のチューブ13bの断面積は円チューブよりも小さく、被搬送物によるブリッジが発生し易い。
図25は、フィルムFmが折り込まれるときの折り込み部材とシールジョーの側面図である。図25において、折り込み部材18a,18bは、シールジョー51,52の上部に位置している。シールジョー51,52の下面から折り込み部材18a,18bの下端面までの区間Rは、折り込み部材18a,18bが接しないので、折り込み部材18a,18bの動作によるフィルムFmの慣性で自然に折り込まれる不安定区間であり、被包装物の重量によって折り目が開くことがある。そこで、その区間Rを確実に折り込むために、エアを吹き付けてもよい。
図27は、ヒータブロックを有する折り込み部材の斜視図である。図27において、折り込み部材18a,18bのフィルムFmと接触しない面にヒータブロック184が取り付けられている。ヒータブロック184の中には棒ヒータが埋め込まれており、ヒータブロック184を高温に維持している。折り込み部材18a,18bの第1面181、第2面182はヒータブロック184によって加熱され高温になっている。折り込み部材18a,18bがフィルムFmを折り込むとき、高温の第1面181、第2面182がフィルムFmを加熱して軟らかくするので、図25で示した区間RのフィルムFmも折り込み部材の動作に追従し易くなり、綺麗な折り目が付く。
図28は、エア吹出口とヒータブロックとを有する折り込み部材の斜視図である。図28において、折り込み部材18a,18bのフィルムFmと接触する第1面181、および区間Rに対峙する第2面182に、複数のエア吹出口183が設けられている。また、
第1面181と反対側の面にヒータブロック184が取り付けられている。ヒータブロック184の中には棒ヒータが埋め込まれており、ヒータブロック184を高温に維持している。
