Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for transporting tubular bag bodies on a bag making production line.
- it relates to an apparatus and a method for transporting cut piece in the direction of their longitudinal axis followed by gradually changing the direction of their transport transversely to the longitudinal axis.
- the invention further relates to a cut piece of planar object (or simply a cut piece) which can be a sheet (metallic or non-metallic or corrugated, fabric), or woven or non-woven fabric (either non tubular or tubular including gusseted or non-gusseted)or wooden sheets as the case may be.
- Document DE 19 29 600 A1 describes a device for transporting flat tube sections from which bags are made.
- the tube pieces are alternately deposited in the longitudinal transport direction via a wedge-shaped pivotable switch element on an ascending upper conveying surface and a descending lower conveying surface.
- a transfer device adjoins the upper or lower conveying surface, each having a support surface on which the tube pieces pass from the longitudinal transport direction into the transverse transport direction.
- the pieces of tubing then transported in the transverse direction are brought together again by means of conveyor belts.
- tubular bag bodies are travelling in two levels that makes system complicated and also have accessibility issues.
- the issues involve various factors such as more complex assembly and number of parts which hinders the easy removal of bag bodies if stuck due to machine breakdown.
- EP 3148789B 1 discloses a device for transporting tubular sack bodies, with a longitudinal transport device with which the tubular sack bodies can be transported essentially in the direction of their longitudinal extent, with a transverse transport device with which the tubular sack bodies can be transported substantially perpendicular to their longitudinal extent.
- the main drawback of such kind of system is that while transport bag bodies from one direction to another, the system must stop for a moment so as to ensure that the bag does not deviate from the desired position and thus ensure there is no sideways movement of bag.
- EP 3148789B1 also discloses a complex structure of bag transportation which reduces the overall efficiency of the system.
- Document DE 102009000893A1 describes a device for changing the direction of transport of flat pieces of tubing.
- the tube pieces are pushed one after the other in the longitudinal direction onto a support surface in order to be taken along by a transfer device in the transverse direction.
- the tube piece Before a tube piece can be transported away in the transverse direction, the tube piece must first rest with its side area on the transverse transport plane so that the side area can be grasped by the transfer device.
- the tubular fabric moves first in the longitudinal direction, then it stops momentarily before starting to move in the transverse direction.
- a drawback of this scheme is that due to the momentary stoppage of the tubular bag there are chances of bag shifting to occur.
- the present invention provides a simplified and efficient transfer device which provides a smooth and gradual change in direction during the transport of the tubular bag bodies is brought about.
- the main objective of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method of transferring cut piece from a longitudinal transport device to a cross-transport device.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method to transfer cut piece from longitudinal to transverse direction with structurally straightforward means and at the same time ensuring absence of operational failures.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method to transfer cut piece from longitudinal to transverse direction in such a way that the production rate of the finished bag bodies is increased.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method to transfer cut piece from longitudinal to transverse direction wherein the cut piece moves continuously and gradually without any stoppage.
- a still further object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method to transfer cut piece from longitudinal to transverse direction such that cutting apparatus, longitudinal transport device and cross transport device are synchronised in order to provide better repeatability of final position of tubular bag bodies such that level shifting of the bag can be avoided.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method to transfer cut piece from longitudinal to transverse direction wherein the tubular bag bodies are being transported run on a single plane to get better accessibility.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method to transfer cut piece from longitudinal to transverse direction with reduced maintenance and incidences of malfunction.
- Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method to transfer cut piece from longitudinal to transverse direction that is suitable for different tubular bag sizes with minimal manual adjustment.
