Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bag making and packaging machine, and more particularly, to a bag making and packaging machine that sandwiches a tubular film between a horn and an anvil and performs ultrasonic transverse sealing.
- Patent Document 1 JP 2012-236619 A
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-236619
- the knife disposed in the knife moving space formed in the anvil is directed toward the horn at the timing of performing horizontal sealing using the ultrasonic unit.
- the packaged bag is separated from the tubular film.
- the subject of the present invention is a bag making and packaging machine that performs ultrasonic transverse sealing, moving a knife arranged in a space formed in an anvil toward a horn, and separating a packaged bag from a tubular film,
- An object of the present invention is to provide a bag making and packaging machine that can easily prevent a knife from coming into contact with an anvil and the like to cause a decrease in the life of an ultrasonic unit.
- the bag-making packaging machine sandwiches a film formed in a cylindrical shape conveyed in the first direction with a horn and an anvil for ultrasonic sealing, and performs horizontal sealing along the direction intersecting the first direction.
- the bag making and packaging machine includes a knife, a knife driving unit, and a guide unit.
- the knife is arranged in a knife movement space formed in the anvil.
- the knife driving unit cuts the packaged bag from the tubular film by driving the knife arranged in the knife movement space so as to move toward the horn when the film is horizontally sealed.
- the guide portions are provided at both ends of the anvil, respectively, and a guide space for guiding the movement of the knife when the knife is driven by the knife driving portion is formed.
- the width of the guide space in the second direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the knife driven by the knife driving unit and the longitudinal direction of the knife is smaller than the width in the second direction of the knife moving space.
- guide spaces for guiding the movement of the knife are formed in the guides provided at both ends of the anvil, respectively, in the second direction (the moving direction of the knife driven by the knife driving unit and the longitudinal direction of the knife).
- the width of the guide space in the orthogonal direction is smaller than the width of the knife movement space in the same direction. Therefore, even if the knife is bent in the second direction for some reason, the knife contacts the guide portion before the anvil or the like. As a result, it is easy to prevent the knife from coming into contact with the anvil or the like at the time of horizontal sealing, and to suppress the life reduction of the ultrasonic unit.
- the guide part is preferably a non-metallic member and a separate member from the anvil.
- the guide portion is a non-metallic member that is a separate member from the metal anvil, wear of the knife due to contact between the knife and the guide portion can be suppressed.
- the guide portion is fixed to the anvil by the fastening member after the attachment position to the anvil is adjusted.
- the mounting position of the guide part can be adjusted with respect to the anvil removed from the bag making and packaging machine. Therefore, it is easy to arrange the guide portion at an appropriate position with respect to the anvil.
