Abstract
In a machine for packaging bulk articles or groups of
articles in a tubular envelope, a continuous sheet
material (1) is placed around a sleeve (11) and conveyed
by a pair of endless belts (18) to obtain a tube (4). A
collar (12) is provided for guiding the continuous sheet
material around the sleeve (11) while a welder (15) seals
up the longitudinal edges of the continuous sheet
material (1). A feeder (40) for feeding articles is
situated beside the sleeve (11)- collar (12) assembly,
which is mounted on a frame (7) together with the endless
belts and the welder (15). The frame (7) rotates about a
horizontal axis and brings the sleeve (ll) first to a
horizontal position (H), in which the product or articles
(41) are introduced therein, and then to a vertical
position (V), in which the pack (5) is completed.
Description
- The present invention relates to a machine for packaging bulk articles or groups of articles in a tubular envelope or bag.
- There are many known automatic machines that inserts articles or groups of single articles already packed, into an elongated side-sealed tube as it travels.
- Usually, these machines fill the tube at the same time when they make it, and they form completed, sealed packages or bags, ready for the market, which contain a certain amount of product or a pre-established number of articles.
- Packs containing more articles previously wrapped one by one, are also known as multi-packs.
- Basically, these machines for obtaining the tube from a sheet of heat sealable material, include:
- feeding means for supplying the continuous sheet material, which form a continuous tube to be filled and is subsequently severed crosswise to obtain separate packs or bags;
- a sleeve, around which the continuous sheet material is placed to form the tube;
- an outer collar for guiding the continuous sheet material around the sleeve and for shaping externally the tube being formed;
- welding means for sealing the longitudinal continuous, facing-each-other or overlapped edges of the sheet material;
- pulling means, which push the continuous sheet material against the sleeve and rotate so as to advance the sheet material;
- means for feeding product or articles to be packaged, usually including a hopper fastened to the top of the sleeve for conveying the product or articles therein, the product or articles then falling, due to gravity, inside the tube being formed;
- welding and cutting means, which clamp the heat sealable continuous sheet material just below the sleeve base, then weld the tube crosswise in one or more points, and subsequently severs the tube to separate single envelopes.
-
- The drawback of these known machines results from the fact that the product or articles must pass through the whole inner space of the sleeve while falling by gravity action.
- If the product or articles are fragile, they can be damaged on the way to the bottom of the tube, due to striking or rubbing against the sleeve inner surface or against each other.
- In particular, when more articles separately wrapped are to be put inside one bag, it is extremely difficult to obtain and maintain the desired arrangement with the articles in good order.
- Although the sleeve inner shape exactly matches the articles outer shape, the latter can jam while falling along the sleeve because they tend to assume inclined positions thus increasing rubbing against the inner surfaces.
- The object of the present invention is to propose a machine for packaging a bulk product or groups of articles inside a tubular pack or bag like the one just described, the machine being improved so as to overwhelm the disadvantages.
- The proposed machine must be capable of packaging the bulk product or the articles, in a tubular pack or bag at the same time when the tube is being formed, without damaging the articles and/or changing their arrangement.
- Another object of the invention id to propose a machine like the one of the prior art, improved in a way that no risk of jams inside the sleeve can occur.
- Another object of the present invention is to propose a machine improved by a simple and effective technical solution, which is reliable and does not involve high production costs.
- The above mentioned objects are obtained by a technical solution described in the preamble of the
claim 1, improved according to the characterizing part ofclaim 1. - Other features of the invention are described in the subclaims.
- The characteristics of the invention, not yet evident, will be pointed out in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, with reference to the enclosed drawings, which, by means of non-limitative examples, show:
- in Figures 1 to 8, schematic front views of the machine being the subject of the present invention, in the most characteristic steps of its operation;
- in Figure 9, a schematic front view of this machine with a variation of some of its parts.
- With reference to the previously described figures, the machine for packaging bulk product or groups of articles in a pack or bag, includes
means 10 for feeding thecontinuous sheet material 1 while placing it around asleeve 11 to form anelongate tube 4, as in the know methods. - An
outer collar 12, also known as "tie", is associated to the sleeve for conveying the continuous sheet. Welding means 15 seal the longitudinal edges of thecontinuous sheet 1, in overlapped or facing-each-other condition, for forming the tube. - The feeding means 10, which supply the
continuous sheet material 1, include areel 2, from which thecontinuous sheet 1 is unwound, and a series ofturnabout rollers 6. - According to known techniques, the
turnabout rollers 6 form a compensation mechanism, that compensate for slight differences between the quantity of the continuous sheet material unwound from thereel 2 and the quantity of the continuous sheet material actually used for forming the bags or packs. - The welding means include a heat welder of known type, which seals the longitudinal edges of the continuous sheet material in overlapped or folded and facing-each-other condition.
- The tube portion longitudinally sealed and situated around the sleeve, will be hereinafter referred to as the
envelope 3. - The
continuous sheet material 1 is pulled bysuitable means 18 including one or more motor powered endless belts, which press thecontinuous sheet 1 against thesleeve 11 for making it advance in direction A (Figure 1). - The figures show only one pair of
endless belts 18, but obviously more pairs of endless belts can be provided, arranged along the sleeve circumference to increase the pulling action. - Cutting and welding means 30, situated at the bottom of the
sleeve 11, include two heatedplates tube 4, to seal and separate single packs orbags 5. - According to the invention, the
sleeve 11, thecollar 12, thewelder 15 and the pullingendless belts 18 are mounted on anoscillating frame 7, which can rotate about a horizontal axis. - For sake -of clarity, only the sleeve will be referred to in the following, but it is understood that the movements of the sleeve involve also all the other elements integral therewith.
- Driving means, not shown, since they are of known type, drive the frame to rotate about this horizontal axis, so that the
sleeve 11 assumes, in alternative steps, a horizontal condition H and a vertical condition V, for the purpose which will be explained later. - Also according to the invention, the feeding means 40 for feeding the product or the articles being packed, are situated beside the
frame 7, that supports thesleeve 11 and thecollar 12. - The
means 40 for feeding articles are aimed at introducing the product orarticles 41 into thesleeve 11, bringing them up to the bottom of the envelope when the sleeve is in its horizontal condition H. - In this condition, the
endless belts 18 are temporarily deactivated. - According to a first embodiment, the
means 40 for feeding articles include aplate 44 situated near a slidingsurface 43 and reciprocated horizontally, so as to enter thesleeve 11 when the sleeve is in its horizontal condition H. - According to another possible embodiment, these articles feeding means include a
pusher 42, also reciprocated horizontally, so as to enter thesleeve 11 kept horizontal. - The bulk product, or a number of
articles 41, are accumulated orderly on the slidingsurface 43 by manipulators equipped withdragging plates actuators 39 of known type. - According to the invention, the subject machine includes also folding means 45 which act on the bottom of the
envelope 3 during rotation of the sleeve, so as to fold, in two steps, the edges welded in the region of the bottom. - The folding means include substantially a
curved member 45, situated at the side of theframe 7 opposite to the articles feeding means 40, and in the intermediate position of the path followed by the bottom of theenvelope 3. - The curve centre of the
curved member 45 is aligned with the rotation axis of the oscillatingframe 7. - A
pad 46, situated on the side of the sleeve opposite to the one having the articles feeding means 40 and at the bottom of thesleeve 11 in horizontal condition H. - The
pad 46 is reciprocated horizontally by driving means, not shown, insofar as they are known. - Operation of the machine will be explained in the following, with reference to Figures 1 to 8.
- When the
sleeve 11 is in its vertical condition V, theendless belts 18 pull in direction A thecontinuous sheet material 1, supplied by thereel 2 via theturnabout rollers 6. Thesheet material 1 is guided by thecollar 12 and placed around thesleeve 11 while thewelder 15 seals the longitudinal edges, thus forming a tube 4 (Figure 1). - The welding and
cutting plates tube 4, separating therefrom the previously completed pack or bag 5 (Figure 8). - Then, the
frame 7 is rotated, e.g. in counter-clockwise direction N. - The
continuous sheet 1, passing between the series ofturnabout rollers 6 and guided by thecollar 12, is maintained tight by asuitable tightener roller 16. - During the intermediate rotation step, the
curved member 45, which is narrower than thetube 4, strikes against the central part of thewelded bottom 8, considered in crosswise direction, folding it in the direction opposite to the rotation and folding it toward the centre of the twoouter wings 9 of the welded bottom (Figure 2). - Meanwhile, the
manipulators 37 and thedragging plates 38 place orderly thearticles 41, that have been separately wrapped along thewrapping line 35 situated upstream of the subject machine. - When the rotation of the
frame 7 is completed, thesleeve 11 is in horizontal condition H and its inlet opening is situated near the edge of thesliding surface 43. - Then, the
plate 44 is operated, and enters the sleeve due to the action of alinear actuator 36. Motion of theplate 44 in the introduction direction T moves the articles up to the bottom of the tube (Figures 3 and 4). - At the same time, the
pad 46 is moved in push direction S, so as to press thewings 9 of thewelded bottom 8, making it assume a flat shape. - As can be understood from Figure 4, when the
plate 44 completes its stroke, a raisingdevice 34 is operated to act on the end of theplate 44 remaining outside thesleeve 11, thus raising it a bit. - This raising is enough to slightly push the
articles 41 against the inner upper wall of thesleeve 11 opposite to theplate 44, so, when theplate 44 is retracted with a withdrawing movement R (Figure 5), thearticles 41 are held at the bottom of thesleeve 11. - At the same time, the
pad 46 is moved in direction P. - Afterwards, the
frame 7 is rotated, e.g. in direction F, to bring thesleeve 11 back to its vertical condition V (Figure 6). - During the return rotation in direction F, the
curved member 45 hits thewings 9 of theenvelope 3 to stabilise their folding. - When the sleeve reaches its vertical position V, the articles contained in its lower part settle on the bottom of the
envelope 3, which begins to go down due to reactivation of the drivingendless belts 18 that subsequently pull another strap ofsheet material 1 from thereel 2. In this way, theenvelope 3 containing the product orarticles 41 passes beyond thewelding plates 31, 32 (Figure 7). - Afterwards, the
welding plates package 5 just formed. - Figure 9 shows another embodiment of the
means 40 for feeding the articles, which include thepusher 42. Machine operation is not different from the previous one. - In this second embodiment the raising
device 34 is missing, as the pusher return movement does not act in any way on thearticles 41, which remain at the bottom of thesleeve 11. - This embodiment is more suitable when horizontally layered articles are to be packed, since the horizontal displacement of the articles one with respect to another could create problems if the previously described embodiment were used.
- As it results obvious from the above description, the invention has advantages which correspond to the objects.
- In fact, the subject machine packages bulk product or groups of articles inside a tubular pack or bag of the type described in the introductory statement, without damaging the articles integrity and their arrangement, and without risking jams of singularly packaged articles inside the sleeve.
- Actually, due to the rotation of the sleeve in the horizontal position, it is possible to move the articles always on a horizontal plane, thus avoiding that the articles fall due to gravity and strike against the inner walls of the sleeve.
- Moreover, the
plate 44 and thepusher 42 move the articles always positively, thus avoiding jams possibility. - All this is obtained by a simple and effective technical solution, which is reliable and does not involve high production costs.
- Having described the invention with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is understood that other possible variants, obvious to the experts in art, are within the protection of the invention as described above and claimed hereinafter.
