Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bag making and packaging machine that fills a bag with an article to be packed while forming a bag by sealing a tubular packaging material.
- a vertical pillow bag making and packaging machine is used as a bag making and packaging machine that forms a bag and fills the bag with food to be packaged and hermetically wraps the bag.
- This bag making and packaging machine forms a wrapping material, which is a sheet-like film, into a cylindrical shape (tube shape) by a former and a tube, and seals the overlapping vertical edges of the tubular wrapping material by a vertical sealing mechanism.
- the bag making and packaging machine seals the lower part of the bag with the horizontal sealing mechanism, the packaged material is filled into the tube-shaped packaging material.
- the bag making and packaging machine seals the upper portion of the bag by the lateral seal mechanism, and then cuts the center of the laterally sealed portion with a cutter.
- the bag making and packaging machine repeatedly and continuously performs the above-described operations of forming a bag and filling a bag with an article to be packaged.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-65144 discloses a bag making and packaging machine having a mechanism for preventing excessive air from entering a sealed bag. .
- An object of the present invention is to provide a bag making and packaging machine capable of efficiently sealing a packaging material.
- the bag making and packaging machine fills a bag with a package while forming a bag by sealing a tubular packaging material.
- the bag making and packaging machine includes a transport unit, a lateral seal unit, and a control unit.
- a conveyance part conveys a packaging material below.
- the horizontal seal portion includes a first member and a second member. The first member sandwiches the packaging material and seals the packaging material in the lateral direction. The second member squeezes the packaging material while sandwiching the packaging material with a predetermined gap.
- the control unit controls the position of the horizontal seal portion.
- the control unit performs a first control process, a second control process, and a third control process.
- the first control step is a step of squeezing the packaging material on the second member by lowering the horizontal seal portion at the reference position faster than the packaging material conveyed downward by the conveyance unit.
- a 2nd control process is a process of raising a horizontal seal part, making a 1st member seal a packaging material after a 1st control process.
- a 3rd control process is a process of moving a horizontal seal part so that a 1st member may leave
- This bag making and packaging machine raises the horizontal seal part while sealing the packaging material by the horizontal seal part. This shortens the time from when the horizontal seal part descends from the reference position and starts squeezing the packaging material until the horizontal seal part rises and seals the packaging material to return to the reference position, so the horizontal seal operation is efficient. Can be done automatically. Therefore, this bag making and packaging machine can efficiently seal the packaging material.
- control unit preferably blows gas into the bag from the time when the rise of the horizontal seal portion starts until the time when the rise of the horizontal seal portion ends.
- This bag making and packaging machine can inflate the bag by raising the horizontal seal part while sealing the packaging material by the horizontal seal part. Moreover, this bag making and packaging machine can control the amount of gas enclosed in the bag by blowing gas into the bag while raising the horizontal seal portion. Therefore, this bag making and packaging machine can appropriately adjust the thickness of the bag by controlling the amount of gas enclosed in the bag.
- control unit preferably blows gas into the bag from the time when the rise of the lateral seal portion ends to the time when the first member leaves the packaging material.
- This bag making and packaging machine controls the amount of gas contained in the bag by blowing gas into the bag between the time when the horizontal seal portion is raised and the time when the horizontal seal portion is separated from the packaging material. can do. Therefore, this bag making and packaging machine can appropriately adjust the thickness of the bag by controlling the amount of gas enclosed in the bag.
- control unit controls the position of the horizontal seal part by switching between normal rotation and reverse rotation of a motor for moving the horizontal seal part.
- This bag making and packaging machine can easily switch the lowering and raising of the horizontal seal portion by switching the forward rotation and reverse rotation of the motor.
- control unit preferably causes the conveyance unit to stop conveying the packaging material while the first member seals the packaging material.
- This bag making and packaging machine can suppress troubles such as printing a label on the packaging material by stopping the conveyance of the packaging material while the packaging material is sealed by the lateral seal portion.
- the bag making and packaging machine according to the present invention can efficiently seal the packaging material.

Therefore, in the conventional bag making and packaging machine, as compared with the bag making and packaging machine 1 of the present embodiment, after the horizontal sealing is completed, the sealing jaw returns to the original position (position where the next horizontal sealing can be started). The time required for is longer.
- the bag making and packaging machine 1 efficiently removes the tubular film F by shortening the time from when the transverse seal mechanism 5 completes the transverse seal of the tubular film F to when the next transverse seal is started. Can be laterally sealed.
- the bag making and packaging machine 1 raises the sealing jaws 11a and 11b while the sealing jaws 11a and 11b are horizontally sealing the cylindrical film F. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 15, the tubular film F above the sealing jaws 11a and 11b swells in the horizontal direction by being lifted by the sealing jaws 11a and 11b. Therefore, since the volume of the space in the cylindrical film F increases above the sealing jaws 11a and 11b, the packaged article C is efficiently accommodated in the cylindrical film F. In addition, since the maximum height position of the article to be packaged C accommodated in the tubular film F is lowered above the seal jaws 11a and 11b, the seal jaws 11a and 11b are to be packaged at the next horizontal sealing. Biting of the object C is avoided. Therefore, the bag making and packaging machine 1 can suppress the occurrence of sealing failure due to the sealing jaws 11a and 11b.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の一実施形態である製袋包装機1の斜視図である。製袋包装機1は、食品等の被包装物を袋詰めするための機械である。製袋包装機1は、主として、組合せ計量ユニット92と、製袋包装ユニット93と、フィルム供給ユニット94とから構成される。
図2は、製袋包装ユニット93の概略的な構成を示す斜視図である。以下の説明において、「前(正面)」、「後(背面)」、「上」、「下」、「左」および「右」からなる6つの方向を、図2に示されるように定義する。
成形機構73は、チューブ2とフォーマ2aとを有する。チューブ2は、上端および下端が開口している、円筒形状の部材である。チューブ2の上端の開口には、組合せ計量ユニット92から供給される被包装物Cが投入される。フォーマ2aは、チューブ2を取り囲むように配置されている。フィルム供給ユニット94のフィルムロールから繰り出されてきたフィルムFaは、チューブ2とフォーマ2aとの間の隙間を通過する際に、チューブ2に巻き付いて筒状に成形される。チューブ2およびフォーマ2aは、製造する袋Xの大きさに応じて取り替えることができる。
プルダウンベルト機構74は、チューブ2に巻き付いたフィルムFaを吸着しながら下方に搬送する。プルダウンベルト機構74は、主として、プーリ3a,3aおよび一対のプルダウンベルト3,3を有する。一対のプルダウンベルト3,3は、図2に示されるように、チューブ2の左右両側においてチューブ2を挟むように配置され、筒状に成形されたフィルムFaを吸着する機構を有する。プルダウンベルト機構74は、プーリ3a,3aによって一対のプルダウンベルト3,3が回転駆動することで、筒状に成形されたフィルムFaを下方に搬送する。
縦シール機構4は、筒状に成形されたフィルムFaを縦方向(図2では、上下方向)にシールする。縦シール機構4は、チューブ2の正面側に配置される。縦シール機構4は、駆動機構(図示せず)によって、チューブ2に近づくように、あるいは、チューブ2から遠ざかるように前後方向に移動する。
(2-4-1)全体構成
図3は、横シール機構5を右側から見た側面図である。筒状フィルムFはチューブ2の左右側方に配設された1対のプルダウンベルト3,3(図3には左側のもののみ図示)の走行により下方に引き降ろされつつ、チューブ2の正面側に配設された縦シール機構4により重なり合った両側縁部が縦シールされ、且つ、チューブ2の下方に配設された横シール機構5により幅方向に横シールされて袋Xとなる。その間、横シールと横シールとの間にチューブ2の上方から投入された物品(被包装物C)が袋Xに充填される。袋Xは横シール機構5に内蔵された図示しないカッターにより1つずつ切り離され、さらに生産ラインの下流に運ばれる。
次に、本実施形態におけるシールジョー11a,11bの軌跡について説明する。以下、必要に応じて、一対のシールジョー11a,11bを、それぞれ、第1シールジョー11aおよび第2シールジョー11bと呼ぶ。図9は、横シール機構5を右側から見た場合における、第1シールジョー11a、および、第2シールジョー11bの軌跡を表す図である。図9において、一対のシールジョー11a,11bの基準点の軌跡は、点線で示されている。
(3-1)全体的な動作
最初に、製袋包装機1が被包装物Cを袋Xに充填する動作の概略について説明する。フィルム供給ユニット94から成形機構73に供給されたフィルムFaは、チューブ2に巻き付けられて筒状に成形され、プルダウンベルト機構74によって下方に搬送される。チューブ2に巻き付けられた筒状のフィルムFaは、上下方向に延びる両端部が重ね合わせられている。筒状に成形されたフィルムFaの重なり部分は、縦シール機構4によって縦方向にシールされ、筒状フィルムFが形成される。
次に、製袋包装機1の横シール機構5の詳細な動作について、図10~16を参照しながら説明する。図10~16は、それぞれ、図9に示される軌跡上の点I~VIIにおける横シール機構5を右側から見た状態を表す。図10~16では、横シール機構5の動作を理解しやすくするために、横シール機構5の構成要素として、一対のシールジョー11a,11b、一対のしごき部材55,75および一対のシャッタ58,78のみが示されている。横シール機構5は、図10~16に示される順番で駆動することで、袋Xの上端部と、後続の袋の下端部とを同時に横シールする。一対のしごき部材55,75および一対のシャッタ58,78は、同じタイミングで開閉する。
(4-1)
製袋包装機1は、筒状フィルムFの搬送が停止している状態で、横シール機構5の一対のシールジョー11a,11bを上昇させながら、シールジョー11a,11bによって筒状フィルムFを横シールする。これにより、シールジョー11a,11bは、筒状フィルムFを横シールしている間に、基準位置に近付く。すなわち、シールジョー11a,11bが横シールをしている間に、シールジョー11a,11bは、図9に示される軌跡上の点Vから点VIに移動して、基準位置である点Iにより近付くことができる。
製袋包装機1は、シールジョー11a,11bが筒状フィルムFを横シールしている間に、シールジョー11a,11bを上昇させる。これにより、図15に示されるように、シールジョー11a,11bより上方の筒状フィルムFが、シールジョー11a,11bによって持ち上げられることによって水平方向に膨らむ。そのため、シールジョー11a,11bより上方において、筒状フィルムF内の空間の容積が増加するので、被包装物Cが筒状フィルムF内に効率的に収容される。また、シールジョー11a,11bより上方において、筒状フィルムF内に収容されている被包装物Cの最大高さ位置が低くなるので、次回の横シール時において、シールジョー11a,11bが被包装物Cを噛み込むことが回避される。従って、製袋包装機1は、シールジョー11a,11bによるシール不良の発生を抑制することができる。
製袋包装機1では、しごき部材55,75が筒状フィルムFをしごいている間に、シールジョー11a,11bは下降し、その後、シールジョー11a,11bが筒状フィルムFを横シールしている間に、シールジョー11a,11bは上昇する。このように、製袋包装機1は、必要に応じて、シールジョー11a,11bを上昇または下降させる。製袋包装機1は、横シール機構5の上下移動用サーボモータ31の正転および逆転を適宜に切り替えることによって、シールジョー11a,11bの上昇および下降を容易に切り替えることができる。
製袋包装機1は、シールジョー11a,11bが筒状フィルムFを横シールしている間に、筒状フィルムFの搬送を停止させる。そのため、製袋包装機1は、筒状フィルムFの搬送が停止している間に、筒状フィルムFにラベル等を安定的に印字することができる。従って、製袋包装機1は、筒状フィルムFに印字する際のトラブルを抑制することができる。
製袋包装機1では、しごき部材55,75は、筒状フィルムFの内側の被包装物Cを強制的に落下させることができる。そのため、製袋包装機1は、筒状フィルムFの横シールされる部分において、被包装物C等の異物がシールジョー11a,11bに噛み込まれることを回避することができる。従って、製袋包装機1は、シールジョー11a,11bによるシール不良の発生を抑制することができる。
以上、本発明の一実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、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。
実施形態の製袋包装機1は、気体吹き込み機構をさらに備えてもよい。気体吹き込み機構は、横シール機構5によって横シールされる筒状フィルムFの内部に気体を吹き込む機構である。気体吹き込み機構は、例えば、成形機構73のチューブ2の内部において上方から下方に向かって気体を流し込むことができる部材である。気体吹き込み機構は、筒状フィルムFの内部に気体を吹き込むことで、筒状フィルムFの内部の気体の量を増加させて、筒状フィルムFを膨らませることができる。すなわち、気体吹き込み機構は、筒状フィルムFから成形された袋Xの厚みを調節することができる。
実施形態の製袋包装機1は、製袋後の袋Xの厚みを計測する厚み計測機構に接続されてもよい。製袋包装機1および厚み計測機構からなる製袋包装システムは、製袋包装機1によって製造された袋Xの厚みを、厚み計測機構によって計測する。
