Since the upper end sealer base 45 is connected to the upper end sealer 30a via the elastic member 46 via the upper end sealer base 44 through 44a-44b, The

end sealers

30a and 30b move in a circular motion and approach and separate from each other in opposite phases. The pair of

end sealers

30a and 30b are combined with a vertical movement and a reciprocating swing that are 180 degrees out of phase, as shown in FIGS. The movement which draws the synthetic | combination locus | trajectories UL and LL as shown is performed.

Of course, as the upper and

lower end sealers

30a and 30b approach and separate from each other, the

rollers

63f and 64d, the lower guide groove cam portion 61a and the upper guide groove cam portion 61b open and close the two conveyors, respectively.

In this case, since the upper end sealer 30a is mounted below the upper end sealer base 45 via the

elastic members

46c and 46d, when the upper end sealer 30a comes into contact with the lower end sealer 30b, Since the

end sealers

30a and 30b overlap in the vertical direction across the cutting line through which the packaged article-wrapping film 18 that covers the packaged article W passes, the relief is provided in the upper end sealer 30a. It can be absorbed by the elastic force of the

elastic members

46c and 46d, so that the packaged and wrapped film 18 is reliably welded and cut (FIGS. 8 and 11). The

elastic members

46c and 46d also function to moderately regulate the welding and cutting pressure of the pair of

end sealers

30a and 30b on the package-wrapped film 18.

In this way, the end sealer unit 32 moves the pair of upper and

lower end sealers

30a and 30b so as to approach and separate from each other in synchronism with the transport speed of the package-wrapping film 18, that is, 180 degrees out of phase. Perform pseudo box motion (anomalous circular motion) to drive up and down. In this case, the pair of upper and

lower end sealers

30a and 30b are transported at the transport speed of the package-wrapping film 18 in the period from the contact point La where the pair of upper and

lower end sealers

30a and 30b are in contact to the separation point Lb. It moves together in the discharge direction of the three-side seal wrapping bag while maintaining a synchronous speed (constant speed) synchronized with the. The upper and

lower end sealers

30a and 30b are moved during the period (La-Lb) by the synchronous speed and the elastic force of the

elastic members

46c and 46d, so that the package-encapsulating film 18 is welded. Surely done. Such control is executed by controlling the drive of the end sealer servomotor Ma by the electric control device 80.

Outside the period of this synchronous speed, the pair of upper and

lower end sealers

30a, 30b perform a pseudo box motion (anomalous circular motion) by a shifting motion. That is, the pair of upper and

lower end sealers

30a and 30b are increased in speed when the synchronization speed period (La-Lb) elapses, and decelerated before the synchronization speed period (La-Lb).

Therefore, in this three-side seal film packaging machine, the upper and

lower end sealers

30a and 30b can be maintained in a synchronized speed and shifted so as to increase the efficiency of manufacturing the three-side seal wrapping bag.

In this way, the pair of

end sealers

30a and 30b perform the motion of drawing the combined trajectories UL and LL as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. Then, by welding and cutting the pair of

end sealers

30a and 30b, the feed amount of the supply conveyor 10 is measured by the encoder E, and the three-side sealed wrapping bag PW having a predetermined wrapping length is set according to the parameters set by the electric control device 80. Form (FIG. 9). Note that a gusset 55 is applied by the cylinder 54 of the gusset device 53 immediately before the packaged film 18 is welded and cut by the pair of upper and

lower end sealers

30a and 30b.

The endless brush 56 that assists the feeding of the package-wrapping film 18 is selectively placed on one of the center sealer unit 24, the center

sealer center sealers

22a and 22b (P1), and the center conveyor 26 (P2). It is possible to form an oxidation-prevented three-sided sealed wrapping bag PW by degassing the inside of the wrapping material covering film 18 that wraps the wrapping material W (FIG. 7).

The three-side sealed wrapping bag PW thus formed is carried out by the carry-out conveyor 33 of the discharge conveyor unit 34.

As is clear from the above description, according to the three-side seal film packaging machine of the present invention, the end sealer mechanism that performs the vertical drive of the approach and separation in the pair of upper and lower end sealers and the reciprocating movement in the horizontal direction is simplified. At the same time, the strength of the mechanism is strengthened, and space can be saved in the end sealer area, so that it is possible to incorporate peripheral devices attached to the three-side seal film packaging, facilitating manufacturing and maintenance, and lowering manufacturing costs. be able to.
