Abstract

An opening edge of a wrapping bag that accommodates an article to be packed up to the vicinity of a bag mouth is relatively pinched and sealed by a pair of seal bars without leaving any wrinkles.
SOLUTION: A pair of clip claws 21 that are retracted from a rotation area of a pair of clamps 10 and stand by protrude to the upper area of the clamps at the same time when the clamps 10 that support the wrapping bag 11 are stopped. Then, the pair of movable claws 23 are operated so that both side edges of the wrapping bag 11 are clamped by the pair of clip claws 21. Thereafter, the gap between the pair of clip claws 21 is widened by the air pressure of the gap adjusting machine 30 to tension the bag mouth in both directions, and the bag mouth of the wrapping bag 11 is welded between the clip claws 21 with a seal bar. .

Description

  The present invention relates to a device for heat sealing in a bag mouth sealing section of a rotary bag filling and packaging machine without leaving any wrinkles in the bag mouth of the packaging bag.

  In Patent Document 1 below, a wrapping bag suspended with both side edges sandwiched by a one-to-one pair of clamps is intermittently transferred along a circular track integrally with the clamp, and the wrapping bag is transferred to the wrapping bag on the transfer track. A rotary wrapping machine is disclosed in which the opening edge of the wrapping bag is pressurized and welded by a pair of seal bars in the seal section after filling with an object to be packaged. In order to prevent the clamp from coming into contact with the seal bar, the clamp is lowered to the lower region to hold and carry the wrapping bag.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the pair of clamps 10 leaves a certain seal margin 12 at the opening edge of the wrapping bag 11 and clamps a lower region of the seal margin. In this case, if the upper surface 13 of the packaged object inside the packaging bag is near the upper surface of the clamp 10, the bag mouth does not become tensioned even if the pair of clamps 10 are separated from each other, and the bag mouth 14 is sealed with the seal bar. There is a possibility that the bag mouth 14 is sealed with wrinkles. In particular, the three-side sealed wrapping bag 11 as shown in the figure has a drawback that the rigidity is high and the degree of occurrence of the seal is increased accordingly.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-95311

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention arranges a pair of clip claws that are usually retracted and wait from the passage area of the clamp in the installation section of the seal bar in the rotary bagging and packaging machine, and at the same time the clamp is stopped. A mechanism for projecting both clip claws to the upper region of the clamp and sandwiching both side edges of the bag to tension the bag mouth in both directions, and a pair of clips in which the length of the seal bar is separated in the tension direction And a mechanism that is set to a value between the claws and welds the bag mouth with the seal bar between the clip claws.

  The wrapping bag used in this device is a three-sided seal type having a sealing width of about 20 mm at the bottom edge and both side edges, respectively, while the pair of clip claws are approximately half of the sealing parts on both sides of the wrapping bag. The bag mouth is tensioned to both sides by pinching 10 mm each, and the seal bar is defined as a structure in which the bag mouth is hermetically welded, including about 10 mm on both sides of the wrapping bag. The slight change of each numerical value is also included in the scope of the definition.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of FIG. 2. In these drawings, a pair of clamps 10 sandwich a wrapping bag 11, fill the packaged material in the process of transporting the wrapping bag along a circular track, and seal sections. It shows the state where it reached and paused. The pair of clip claws 20 opposed to the pair of clamps 10 respectively support a movable claw 23 on a fixed claw 22 at the tip of an arm 21 via a pin 24 so that the movable claw can be rotated by a first air cylinder 25. 23 is configured to open and close.

An air cylinder type interval adjusting mechanism 30 for connecting both the clip claws 20 is as follows.
The two clip claws 21 are fixed to the piston rods 32 projecting on both sides of the cylinder body 31, and the two clip claws 21 are separated and approached by the fluid pressure acting on the cylinder body 31, In this case, the guide rod 33 that slides in the cylinder body 31 is configured to stabilize the clip claws 21.

  The cylinder body 31 is connected to a piston rod 42 of a second air cylinder 41 that is fixed to the machine base 40, and as a result, the second cylinder 41 has a pair of clip claws 21 via the interval adjusting mechanism 30. When the second cylinder 41 advances both the clip claws 21 to the area where the wrapping bag 11 exists, the movable claws 23 operated by the pair of first cylinders 25 are arranged on both sides of the wrapping bag 10 shown in FIG. By sandwiching about a half region of the edge seal width and the interval adjusting mechanism 30 enlarges the interval between the two clip claws 25, the bag mouth is tensioned in the use side direction.

2, the pair of seal bars 55 and 56 supported on the sleeve 50 via the operation rods 51 and 52 pinch the opening edge of the wrapping bag 10 in FIG. 2 by the power acting on the operation rods 51 and 52. The length of the seal bars 55 and 56 is set slightly shorter than the interval between the clip claws 21 on both sides.
The seal bar 55 between the clip claws is configured to seal and weld the bag mouth including about half of the vertical sea width 15 on both sides of the bag.
