Abstract

In a prior art method of filling containers such as paper bags, the material (13) to be introduced into the bags is first compacted in a compaction chamber (1). Compaction is carried out either by means of vibrators inserted in the material or by means of suction heads which, after each suction operation, must be blown free of material. The invention, on the other hand, calls for a vacuum to be applied above the level of the uncompacted material. This makes more rapid filling cycles and simpler equipment possible.

Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Befüllen von Verpackungen, insbesondere Papiersäcken oder dergleichen, mit einer Formkammer zur Vorverdichtung des Füllguts, die zum Eintauchen in die Verpackung und zum Entleeren des vorverdichteten Füllguts in die Verpackung ausgebildet ist, mit einer absperrbaren Zulaufeinrichtung für das Füllgut in die Formkammer und mit einer Verschlußeinrichtung am Boden der Formkammer.The invention relates to a device for filling packaging, in particular paper bags or the like, with a molding chamber for pre-compressing the filling material, which is designed to be immersed in the packaging and for emptying the pre-compressed filling material into the packaging, with a lockable feed device for the filling material into the Molding chamber and with a closure device at the bottom of the molding chamber.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Bei einer bekannten Vorrichtung dieser Art (DE-A-31 35 885) erfolgt die Verdichtung des Füllguts mit Hilfe von in das Füllgut eintauchenden Saugelementen. Nach dem Verdichten wird zunächst die Formkammer in die offenstehende Verpackung eingesenkt und danach die Bodenklappe der Formkammer geöffnet. Anschließend erfolgt ein Austrag des verdichteten Füllguts in die Verpackung.In a known device of this type (DE-A-31 35 885), the filling material is compressed with the aid of suction elements immersed in the filling material. After compression, the molding chamber is first sunk into the open packaging and then the bottom flap of the molding chamber is opened. The compacted product is then discharged into the packaging.

Bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung ist es nachteilig, daß die Saugkerzen, die in das Füllgut eintauchen, vor jeder Befüllung wieder freigeblasen werden müssen. Dies reduziert die Füllgeschwindigkeit erheblich.In this known device, it is disadvantageous that the suction candles, which are immersed in the filling material, must be blown free before each filling. This significantly reduces the filling speed.

Es ist ferner bereits ein Verfahren zum Vorverdichten von pulverförmigem Gut durch Luftextraktion mittels einer Vakuumsaugeinrichtung bekannt (CH-A-569 620). Bei diesem bekannten Verfahren wird Füllgut in eine ortsfeste Formkammer eingefüllt, an die eine Vakuumsaugeinrichtung angeschlossen ist. Aus der geschlossenen Formkammer wird die Luft oberhalb des Füllstandes abgesaugt. Anschließend wird der Zulauf zur Kammer wieder geöffnet und der Boden, auf dem der verdichtete Materialblock aufliegt, zur Seite geschwenkt, damit der verdichtete Materialblock unter Eigengewicht in einen darunter befindlichen Behälter fallen kann.Furthermore, a method for pre-compressing powdery material by air extraction using a vacuum suction device is already known (CH-A-569 620). In this known method, filling material is filled into a stationary molding chamber to which a vacuum suction device is connected. The air above the level is sucked out of the closed molding chamber. Then the inlet to the chamber is opened again and the floor on which the compacted material block rests is pivoted to the side so that the compacted material block can fall under its own weight into a container underneath.

DIE ERFINDUNGTHE INVENTION

Ausgehend von dem eingangs erwähnten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der als bekannt vorausgesetzten Art so auszubilden, daß eine schnelle Befüllung mit verdichtetem Gut mit Hilfe einfacher, zuverlässiger Elemente möglich wird.On the basis of the prior art mentioned at the outset, the object of the invention is to design a device of the type presumed to be known in such a way that rapid filling with compressed material is possible using simple, reliable elements.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen des Kennzeichnungsteils von Anspruch 1.This object is achieved with the features of the labeling part of claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung erfolgt die Verdichtung durch eine Vakuumabsaugung, welche oberhalb des Füllstandes des unverdichteten Füllguts erfolgt. Es erfolgt also keinerlei Berührung zwischen den Saugelementen und dem Füllgut. Dies hat zur Folge, daß auch eine Verschmutzung sicher vermieden wird.In the device according to the invention, the compression takes place by means of vacuum suction, which takes place above the fill level of the undensified filling material. So there is no contact between the suction elements and the contents. The result of this is that contamination is also reliably avoided.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Vorrichtung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Preferred embodiments of the device are described in the subclaims.

BESTER WEG ZUR AUSFÜHRUNG DER ERFINDUNGBEST WAY TO CARRY OUT THE INVENTION

An einen Vorratsbehälter 8 schließt sich eine Zulaufeinrichtung 6 für das mit 13 bezeichnete Füllgut an. Unterhalb des Vorratsbehälters ist in der Zulaufeinrichtung 6 eine Absperrklappe 7 vorgesehen, die im geschlossenen Zustand ein Nachrieseln des Füllguts aus dem Vorratsbehälter verhindert. Am Dichtflansch 10 der Zulaufeinrichtung 6 liegt der trichterförmige Randbereich 5 einer mit 1 bezeichneten Formkammer an. Der Randbereich 5 ist nach oben offen und kann dicht am Dichtflansch 10 anliegen. Die Formkammer 1 besitzt einen Boden 2, der von einer schwenkbaren Andruckvorrichtung 3 in Schließstellung gemäß Figur 1 gehalten werden kann. In Figur 3 ist die Andruckvorrichtung 3 zurück verschwenkt, liegt also nicht mehr am Boden 2 an. An der Formkammer 1 ist eine Rütteleinrichtung 4 zum Rütteln dieser Formkammer 1 befestigt.An inlet device 6 for the filling material designated 13 is connected to a storage container 8. A shut-off valve 7 is provided in the inlet device 6 below the storage container, which prevents the filling material from trickling out of the storage container in the closed state. The funnel-shaped edge region 5 of a molding chamber denoted by 1 bears against the sealing flange 10 of the inlet device 6. The edge region 5 is open at the top and can lie tightly against the sealing flange 10. The molding chamber 1 has a base 2 which can be held in the closed position according to FIG. 1 by a pivotable pressure device 3. In Figure 3, the pressure device 3 is pivoted back, so it is no longer on the bottom 2. A shaking device 4 for shaking this molding chamber 1 is attached to the molding chamber 1.

Eine Saugglocke 9 bildet das untere Ende eines Saugstutzens 14. Der Saugstutzen 14 ist ein Element einer Vakuumsaugeinrichtung, die nicht genauer dargestellt ist.A suction bell 9 forms the lower end of a suction nozzle 14. The suction nozzle 14 is an element of a vacuum suction device, which is not shown in more detail.

Unterhalb der Formkammer 1 ist eine Verpackung 12, beispielsweise ein rechteckig oder quaderförmig geöffneter Papiersack in einer Kassette 11 angeordnet. Die Kassette besteht aus zwei Seitenwänden 11a und 11b sowie einem Boden 11c. Der Saugstutzen 14 mit Saugglocke 9 kann aus der in Figur 1 dargestellten Position abgesenkt werden. Dies erfolgt zunächst nach Abschluß des Füllvorgangs in der Formkammer 1. Die Absperrklappe 7 stellt sicher,daß danach kein weiteres Füllgut mehr nachrutschen kann. Anschließend wird die Saugglocke 9 auf den oberen trichterförmigen Randbereich 5 der Formkammer 1 heruntergefahren, bis die Saugglocke dicht am Randbereich 5 anliegt. Danach beginnt das Absaugen des Luftraums mit der Folge, daß das lose eingefüllte Material verdichtet wird. Sobald der gewünschte Unterdruck erreicht ist, wird die Andruckvorrichtung 3 aus der in Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlichen Position in die Freigabestellung (vgl. Figur 3) verschwenkt. Durch das entstehende Vakuum bleibt der Boden 2 fest gegen den unteren Rand der Formkammer 1 angepreßt. Danach werden die Saugglocke 9, der Saugstutzen 14 und die unten offene Formkammer unter Aufrechterhaltung des Vakuums gemeinsam nach unten verfahren, bis die Figur 3 dargestellte Position erreicht ist. Anschließend wird zunächst das Vakuum aufgehoben, danach der als Klappe ausgebildete Boden 2 in die Freigabeposition gemäß Figur 4 verschwenkt und danach das verdichtete Material aus der Formkammer 1 in die Verpackung 12 eingetragen, indem die Rütteleinrichtung betätigt wird. Nach Beendigung des Austragvorgangs werden die Formkammer 1 und die Saugglocke 9 mit Saugstutzen 14 wieder in ihre Ausgangsposition zurückgefahren, die in Figur 5 dargestellt ist. Damit ist die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des nächsten Form- und Füllvorgangs bereit.A packaging 12, for example a paper bag opened in a rectangular or cuboid shape, is arranged below the molding chamber 1 in a cassette 11. The cassette consists of two side walls 11a and 11b and a bottom 11c. The suction nozzle 14 with suction bell 9 can be lowered from the position shown in FIG. 1. This takes place initially after the filling process in the molding chamber 1. The shut-off valve 7 ensures that no further filling material can then slide down. Then the suction cup 9 is funnel-shaped on the upper Shut down the edge area 5 of the molding chamber 1 until the suction cup lies tightly against the edge area 5. Then the suction of the air space begins with the result that the loosely filled material is compressed. As soon as the desired vacuum is reached, the pressure device 3 is pivoted from the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 into the release position (see FIG. 3). Due to the resulting vacuum, the bottom 2 remains firmly pressed against the lower edge of the molding chamber 1. The suction bell 9, the suction nozzle 14 and the mold chamber which is open at the bottom are then moved downwards together while maintaining the vacuum until the position shown in FIG. 3 is reached. The vacuum is then first released, then the base 2, which is designed as a flap, is pivoted into the release position according to FIG. 4, and the compacted material is then introduced from the molding chamber 1 into the packaging 12 by actuating the vibrating device. After the discharge process has ended, the molding chamber 1 and the suction bell 9 with suction nozzle 14 are moved back into their starting position, which is shown in FIG. 5. The device is now ready to carry out the next molding and filling process.

An den beschriebenen Vorverdichtungsvorgang können sich bei weiteren Bearbeitungsstationen ergänzende Verdichtungsvorgänge anschließen, die mit Hilfe aller üblichen Verdichtungseinrichtungen durchgeführt werden können, als beispielsweise Rütteleinrichtungen oder Vakuumsaugglocken.At further processing stations, the described pre-compression process can be followed by additional compression processes, which can be carried out with the aid of all conventional compression devices, such as, for example, vibrating devices or vacuum suction cups.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figuren 6 bis 9 ist zusätzlich zu der Andruckvorrichtung 3 noch eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung vorgesehen. Diese Verriegelungsvorrichtung besitzt zwei vordere Haltehaken 50 und 51 sowie zwei hintere Haltehaken 52 und 53. Die Haltehaken sind entlang der Formkammer 1 in deren Längsrichtung verschiebbar. Der Antrieb erfolgt über Betätigungszylinder 54 und 55. Mit den Haltehaken wird eine absolut sichere Anlage der Klappe 2 an der Unterkante der Formkammer 1 sichergestellt.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 9, in addition to the pressing device 3 there is also a locking device intended. This locking device has two front holding hooks 50 and 51 and two rear holding hooks 52 and 53. The holding hooks can be displaced in the longitudinal direction along the molding chamber 1. The drive takes place via actuating cylinders 54 and 55. The holding hooks ensure absolutely secure contact of the flap 2 on the lower edge of the molding chamber 1.

Damit kein Füllgut zwischen die Dichtflächen geraten kann, ist noch eine Reinigungsbürste 56 vorgesehen (vgl. Figur 9), welche die Bodenklappe 2 nach jedem Entleerungsvorgang überstreicht. Das abgestreifte Restmaterial wird über ein Saugrohr 57 abgesaugt.So that no filling material can get between the sealing surfaces, a cleaning brush 56 is also provided (cf. FIG. 9) which sweeps over the bottom flap 2 after each emptying process. The stripped residual material is sucked off via a suction pipe 57.
