Description

  The present invention relates to a bag making and packaging machine having a function of sealing overlapping portions of packaging materials along a conveyance direction.

  BACKGROUND ART A bag making and packaging machine exists as an apparatus for filling a bag with a packaged article such as a snack while manufacturing the bag. For example, in a vertical bag making and packaging machine called a pillow wrapping machine, a packaging material, which is a sheet-like film, is formed into a cylindrical shape by a former and a tube, and the vertical edge is overlapped by a vertical sealing mechanism. Is sealed (thermally welded) to form a cylindrical packaging material. Then, the tubular packaging material that finally becomes a bag is filled with an article to be packaged from the tube, and 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. Then, the center of the heat seal part (lateral seal part) is cut with a cutter.

  In the vertical sealing mechanism provided in such a bag making and packaging machine, a sheet-like packaging material is wound around a tube and formed into a cylindrical shape, and the belt body heated by the vertical sealing mechanism with respect to the overlapping portion of the packaging material Heat sealing is performed by applying heat and pressure by contacting the (heater belt). At this time, a pad (receiving member) is provided on the surface facing the vertical sealing mechanism on the surface of the tube forming the cylindrical packaging material as a counterpart for sandwiching the overlapping portion of the packaging material together with the belt of the vertical sealing mechanism ( Patent Document 1).

Patent Document 1 discloses a vertical seal mechanism in which a backup pad with low friction and elasticity is attached to the surface of a tube for forming a cylindrical packaging material. In this vertical sealing mechanism, vertical sealing is performed by sandwiching an overlapping portion of the cylindrical packaging material between a heat sealing die (vertical sealing mechanism) and a backup pad.
US Pat. No. 4,950,345

However, the conventional bag making and packaging machine has the following problems.
That is, in the vertical sealing mechanism disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the heat sealing die is provided with the backup pad in the entire position facing the surface in contact with the overlapping portion of the packaging material (see FIGS. 11 and 12), There is a problem that the force applied to the overlapping portion of the cylindrical packaging material by the heat sealing die is dispersed and the pressure becomes low, and good vertical sealing cannot be performed.

  As a method for solving such a problem, generally, the upstream side of the heat sealing die is preferentially wrapped by adjusting the angle of the heat sealing die so that pressure is locally applied to the packaging material. Sealing is performed in a state in which the overlapping portions of the materials are in contact with each other. However, in order to accurately adjust the angle of the heat sealing die, skilled skills are required, and if the angle changes due to vibration during operation, stable and good vertical sealing is performed in long-time operation. There is a risk that it will not be possible.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a bag making and packaging machine provided with a vertical sealing mechanism capable of performing good vertical sealing over a long period of time without requiring skilled skills such as angle adjustment of the vertical sealing mechanism. There is.

  A bag making and packaging machine according to a first aspect of the present invention is a bag making and packaging machine having a function of vertically sealing an overlapping portion of packaging materials formed in a cylindrical shape, and includes a vertical sealing mechanism and a receiving member. I have. The vertical sealing mechanism has a rotating band and a heating element that heats the band, and performs sealing by bringing the band into contact with the overlapping portion of the packaging material. The receiving member is arranged in a state of being divided into a plurality of parts at a position facing the contact surface with the overlapping portion of the packaging material in the band of the vertical seal, and seals by sandwiching the overlapping portion of the packaging material together with the band. .

Here, in a bag making and packaging machine that performs sealing by sandwiching an overlapping portion of a cylindrical packaging material between a vertical seal mechanism and a receiving member, the receiving member is divided into a plurality of parts.
In the conventional bag making and packaging machine, one receiving member is arranged so as to face almost the entire contact surface with the overlapping portion of the packaging material in the belt of the vertical seal mechanism. For this reason, the pressure contact area between the vertical sealing mechanism and the receiving member is widened, and the force applied to the sealing portion of the packaging material is dispersed to reduce the pressure, making it difficult to perform good vertical sealing. The sealing was performed in a state in which the pressure of the packaging material was locally applied by adjusting the angle of the vertical sealing mechanism. However, such an angle adjustment of the vertical seal mechanism requires skilled skills, and there is a problem that a good vertical seal cannot be maintained for a long time if the angle changes little by little during operation.

  Therefore, in the bag making and packaging machine of the present invention, the receiving member that sandwiches the overlapping portion of the packaging material together with the vertical seal mechanism is divided into a plurality of parts. As a result, the vertical sealing can be performed in a state in which pressure is locally applied to the packaging material conveyed between the belt body of the vertical sealing mechanism and the receiving member. It is possible to perform good vertical sealing over a long period of time without the need for skilled skills.

The bag making and packaging machine according to the second invention is the bag making and packaging machine according to the first invention, wherein at least a part of the bag making and packaging direction is overlapped with the vertical sealing mechanism in the conveying direction of the packaging material. It further includes a transport mechanism for transporting the material downstream. And the receiving member is each arrange | positioned in the height position corresponding to the center part and upper end part of the conveyance mechanism in the conveyance direction of a packaging material.
Here, the receiving members arranged in a position facing the vertical seal mechanism in a divided state are arranged at positions corresponding to the vicinity of the upper end portion and the vicinity of the center portion of the transport mechanism.

  Accordingly, stable vertical sealing is performed while being in contact with the packaging material at two points. Therefore, satisfactory sealing can be performed while locally applying pressure and heat to the packaging material. Moreover, since the receiving member divided | segmented on the basis of the position of a conveyance mechanism is arrange | positioned, the force which sends out a packaging material to a conveyance direction by both a conveyance mechanism and a vertical seal mechanism is added, and with respect to a packaging material Problems such as wrinkles caused by excessive force can be avoided.

A bag making and packaging machine according to a third invention is the bag making and packaging machine according to the first or second invention, wherein each length of the receiving member in the conveying direction of the packaging material is determined by the band of the vertical seal mechanism. It is 1/4 or less of the length in the conveyance direction of the surface which contacts a packaging material.
Here, the length of the receiving member divided into a plurality is defined so as to be ¼ or less of the length in the transport direction of the surface where the vertical seal mechanism contacts the packaging material.

As a result, compared to the configuration in which the receiving member is disposed opposite to the entire surface where the vertical seal mechanism is in contact with the packaging material, the packaging material is more effectively applied with pressure and heat locally. Vertical sealing can be performed.
A bag making and packaging machine according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is a bag making and packaging machine having a function of sealing an overlapping portion of packaging materials formed in a cylindrical shape in the vertical direction, the vertical sealing mechanism, a transport mechanism, And a receiving member. The vertical sealing mechanism has a rotating strip and a heating element that heats the strip, and performs sealing by bringing the strip into contact with the overlapping portion of the packaging material. The conveyance mechanism is disposed at a position overlapping the vertical seal mechanism in the conveyance direction of the packaging material, and conveys the cylindrical packaging material to the downstream side. The receiving member is disposed at a position facing the contact surface with the overlapping portion of the packaging material in the belt of the vertical seal mechanism, and seals by sandwiching the overlapping portion of the packaging material together with the belt. And the receiving member is arrange | positioned in the position corresponded in the upstream from the upper end part of the part which contacts the packaging material in the conveyance mechanism in the conveyance direction of a packaging material.

  Here, in the bag making and packaging machine that seals the overlapping portion of the packaging material formed into a cylindrical shape, the seal of the vertical sealing mechanism is disposed at a position facing the vertical sealing mechanism that performs sealing by contacting the overlapping portion of the packaging material. 50% or more of the receiving member that seals the overlapping portion of the packaging material between the portions is disposed at a position corresponding to the upstream side of the upper end portion of the portion that contacts the packaging material in the transport mechanism.

  Here, the transport mechanism is disposed in the vicinity of the vertical seal mechanism, and transports the rotating belt-shaped belt in contact with the cylindrical packaging material to the downstream side. On the other hand, the vertical sealing mechanism performs sealing by rotating the heated belt while contacting the overlapping portion of the packaging material, and the belt rotates in the transport direction on the contact side with the packaging material. Similar to the transport mechanism, force is applied to the packaging material in the downstream direction. For this reason, when the transport mechanism and the vertical seal mechanism are arranged at overlapping positions in the transport direction of the packaging material and apply a force for transporting the packaging material downstream, excessive force is applied to the packaging material. Is added and wrinkles are likely to occur in the packaging material.

  Therefore, in the bag making and packaging machine of the present invention, 50% or more of the receiving member that performs sealing by sandwiching the overlapping portion of the packaging material between the vertical sealing mechanism and the upper portion of the portion that contacts the packaging material in the transport mechanism. Is also located upstream. As a result, the position where the vertical seal mechanism applies force to the packaging material between the receiving member and the conveying mechanism can be moved to an upper position than the position where the transport mechanism applies force to the packaging material. As a result, wrinkles can be prevented from occurring in the packaging material that has passed through the vertical seal mechanism.

The bag making and packaging machine according to the fifth invention is the bag making and packaging machine according to the fourth invention, wherein the receiving member is more than 70% or more of the upper end of the part in contact with the packaging material in the transport mechanism. Arranged upstream.
Here, 70% or more of the receiving member is disposed on the upstream side of the upper end of the portion that contacts the packaging material in the transport mechanism.

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an excessive force in the transport direction from being applied to the packaging material by the vertical sealing mechanism and the transport mechanism in the packaging material conveyance direction, and it is possible to prevent wrinkles from being formed in the packaging material.
A bag making and packaging machine according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is the bag making and packaging machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the receiving member includes a vertical seal mechanism and an overlapping portion of the packaging material. Unevenness is formed on the surface.

Here, unevenness is formed on the surface of the receiving member on the side facing the vertical sealing mechanism.
As a result, the receiving member is formed with a portion where a large pressure is locally applied to the packaging material, so that a strong pressure can be applied to the seal portion by the portion where the large pressure is applied locally. It is possible to prevent air bubbles from being bitten.
A bag making and packaging machine according to a seventh aspect is the bag making and packaging machine according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, wherein the receiving member is exchangeable.

Here, for example, the sealing time can be adjusted by simply replacing the receiving member with an appropriate length according to the type of packaging material and the size of the bag.
Accordingly, it is possible to always perform vertical sealing with stable quality in response to changes such as the type of packaging material changing without changing the conveyance speed.
A bag making and packaging machine according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is the bag making and packaging machine according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, wherein the receiving member has elasticity in a direction in which it is pressed against the packaging material and has a contact surface. This is a member having a small frictional resistance.

Here, as a receiving member, for example, a member formed by sticking a Teflon sheet to rubber or a magic tape (registered trademark) has elasticity in a pressure contact direction with a packaging material, and friction resistance of a contact surface A small member is used.
Thereby, a favorable vertical seal can be performed with the vertical seal mechanism.

Thereby, while being able to pinch | interpose the overlap part of a packaging material between vertical seal mechanisms, replacement | exchange of a receiving member, a change of a position, etc. can be performed easily.

  According to the bag making and packaging machine of the present invention, since vertical sealing can be performed in a state where pressure is locally applied to the packaging material conveyed between the belt body and the receiving member of the vertical sealing mechanism, Good vertical sealing can be performed over a long period of time without requiring skilled skills such as adjusting the angle of the vertical sealing mechanism.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), when two velcro tapes are formed to overlap each other, a hook-and-loop fastener 13e is sandwiched between two velcro tapes with a small insert. It is good.

In this case, a step is formed on the surface of the hook-and-loop fastener 13e. For this reason, when the film is sealed with the heater belt 16a, the seal portion can be sandwiched with a larger local pressure, so that bubbles are effectively prevented from being included in the seal portion. be able to.
(E)
In the said embodiment, 50% of the whole hook_and_loop | surface fastener demonstrated and demonstrated the example arrange | positioned upstream from the contact surface of the pull-down belt mechanism 14 and a film. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9, all of the surface fasteners may be arranged on the upstream side of the contact surface between the pull-down belt mechanism 14 and the film. However, as described above, it is preferable to dispose a hook-and-loop fastener smaller than the hook-and-loop fastener 13c on the upstream side at a position corresponding to the contact surface between the pull-down belt mechanism 14 and the film from the viewpoint of preventing the heater belt 16a from shaking. . Therefore, it is desirable that 70% or more of all the hook-and-loop fasteners are disposed on the upstream side of the contact surface between the pull-down belt mechanism 14 and the film.

  The bag making and packaging machine of the present invention has the effect of being able to perform good vertical sealing over a long period of time without requiring skilled skills such as adjusting the angle of the vertical sealing mechanism. The present invention is not limited to the vertical seal mechanism and can be widely applied to various seal mechanisms.
