Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen und vorzugsweise auch zum Befüllen und Verschließen von Säcken aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff mit einer Vorzugseinrichtung zum intermittierenden Vorziehen einer Schlauchfolienbahn aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff und zu deren hängendem Vorschieben in vertikaler Richtung durch eine Querschweiß- und Querschneideinrichtung, die das vorauslaufende Ende der Schlauchfolienbahn mit einer Querschweißnaht versieht und von dieser oberhalb einer Greif- und Transporteinrichtung einen Schlauchabschnitt abtrennt.The invention relates to a device for manufacturing and preferably also for Filling and closing of thermoplastic bags with a Preference device for intermittently pulling a tubular film web Thermoplastic plastic and their hanging forward in vertical Direction through a cross-welding and cross-cutting device, the leading End of the tubular film web with a transverse weld seam and from this above a gripping and transporting a tube section separates.

Vorrichtungen dieser Art sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen bekannt (vgl. EP-A-844 175). Sie dienen dazu, ausgehend beispielsweise von einer zu einer Vorratsrolle aufgewikkelten Schlauchfolienbahn von dieser Schlauchabschnitte abzutrennen, diese mit Bodenschweißnähten zu versehen, mit einem Schüttgut zu befüllen und die befüllten Säcke mit Kopfschweißnähten zu verschließen und abzufördern. Dabei ist es ein Bestreben des Herstellers derartiger Maschinen, diese wirtschaftlich, nämlich mit hohen Taktzahlen, arbeiten zu lassen. Die Leistung derartiger Maschinen wird insbesondere auch dadurch eingeschränkt, dass das vorauslaufende Ende der mit einer Bodenschweißnaht versehenen Kunststofffolienbahn gestreckt zwischen die die Bodenschweißnaht ausführenden Schweißbacken und die Querschneideinrichtung hindurchgeführt werden muss und die frisch gebildete Bodenschweißnaht zu ihrer Verfestigung abkühlen muss, bevor der von der Schlauchfolienbahn abgetrennte und einen Sack bildende Abschnitt mit dem Füllgut befüllt wird. Bei dem Hindurchschieben des vorauslaufenden mit der Bodenschweißnaht versehenen Endes der Schlauchfolienbahn in Richtung auf die Transportebene der zu befüllenden Säcke ergibt sich das Problem, dass der frei vorgeschobene Endabschnitt aufgrund seiner Lappigkeit auszuweichen trachtet und sich querlegen und ausweichen kann, so dass es zusätzliche Zeit beansprucht, bis der abzutrennende Schlauchabschnitt seine korrekte senkrecht hängende Stellung eingenommen hat.Devices of this type are known in different embodiments (cf .. EP-A-844 175). she serve, starting, for example, from one aufgewikkelten to a supply roll Separate tubular film web of these hose sections, this with To provide bottom welds to fill with a bulk material and the filled To close and remove bags with head welds. That's it an endeavor of the manufacturer of such machines, this economically, namely with high beats, to let work. The performance of such machines is in particular also limited by the fact that the leading end the provided with a bottom weld plastic film web stretched between the bottom weld seam Welding jaws and the cross cutter are passed must and the newly formed bottom weld to their solidification must cool before the separated from the tubular film web and a bag forming section is filled with the contents. In which Pushing the leading with the bottom weld provided end of the tubular film web towards the Transport level of the bags to be filled results in the problem that the freely advanced end portion due to its limpness seeks to dodge, and can lay down and dodge, so that it takes additional time until the hose section to be separated has taken his correct vertical hanging position.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, in der sich das vorauslaufende Ende der Schlauchfolienbahn schnell und ohne flatterndes Ausweichen durch die Querschweiß- und Quertrenneinrichtung in seine gestreckt hängende Stellung hindurchschieben lässt, in der sich die endseitige Bodennaht im Bereich der Transportebene der zu befüllenden Säcke befindet.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device of the initially specified type, in which the leading end of the Hose film web quickly and without fluttering by the Transverse welding and cross-cutting device in its stretched hanging Push position through, in which the end seam at the bottom Area of the transport plane of the bags to be filled.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of Claim 1 solved.

Die durch die Blasluftdüsen in den Spalt zwischen der Bahn und dem vorgeschobenen Ende der Schlauchfolienbahn eingeblasene Blasluft strömt im wesentlichen mit laminarer Strömung in Vorschubrichtung und nimmt das vorgeschobene Ende der Schlauchfolienbahn in gestreckter Form mit, wobei sich zwischen der Schlauchfolienbahn und der Wand ein Unterdruck ausbildet, der ein unerwünschtes Flattern und Ausweichen des vorgeschobenen Endes der Schlauchfolienbahn verhindert. The through the air nozzles in the gap between the web and the blown air blown forward end of the tubular film web flows essentially with laminar flow in the feed direction and decreases the extended end of the tubular film web in stretched form with, wherein between the tubular film web and the wall, a negative pressure which creates an undesirable flutter and dodge the pushed forward end of the tubular film web prevented.

Zweckmäßigerweise bestehen die Blasluftdüsen aus einer Reihe von Blasluftdüsen oder einem langgestreckten Düsenspalt.Conveniently, the air blast nozzles consist of a number of Blasluftdüsen or an elongated nozzle gap.

Die dem gestreckten Vorschieben des Endes der Schlauchfolienbahn dienende Blasluft kühlt zusätzlich auch die Bodenschweißnaht. Um jedoch die Taktzeiten beim Herstellen und Befüllen der Säcke weiter verkürzen zu können, ist es wünschenswert, die Bodenschweißnaht zu ihrer schnelleren Verfestigung zusätzlich zu kühlen. In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist daher vorgesehen, daß im Endbereich der Vorschubstrecke die Bodenschweißnaht kühlende Backen vorgesehen sind. Diese Backen können aus einer feststehenden Backe und einer zangenartig verschwenkbaren und mit der feststehenden Backe zusammenwirkenden Backe bestehen.The the extended advancing the end of the tubular film web serving Blown air additionally cools the bottom weld seam. However, the cycle times it is desirable to be able to further shorten the production and filling of the bags. the bottom weld for their faster solidification in addition to cool. In a further embodiment of the invention is therefore intended that in End region of the feed path provided the bottom weld cooling jaws are. These jaws can be made of a fixed jaw and a pincer-like pivotable and cooperating with the fixed jaw Cheek exist.

Vorzugsweise ist mindestens eine der Backen mit auf die Bodenschweißnaht gerichteten Blasluftdüsen versehen. Zweckmäßigerweise weisen beide Backen Reihen von Blasluftdüsen auf, die auf die Bodenschweißnaht gerichtet sind. Die Bakken klemmen die Bodenschweißnaht zweckmäßigerweise nicht zwischen sich ein, um zu verhindern, daß diese mit den Backen verklebt.Preferably, at least one of the jaws is directed with respect to the bottom weld Provided blowing air nozzles. Conveniently, both jaws rows of blowing air nozzles, which are directed to the bottom weld. The Bakken conveniently do not clamp the bottom weld between them, to prevent them from sticking to the jaws.

In Vorrichtungen der erfindungsgemäßen Art werden üblicherweise Säcke unterschiedlicher Größe und Länge hergestellt und befüllt. Daher ist es erforderlich, den Abstand zwischen der Querschweiß- und Querschneideinrichtung und der Transportebene der zu befüllenden Säcke zu verändern und auf unterschiedliche Sacklängen anzupassen. Die der Kühlung dienenden Backen sind daher zweckmäßigerweise an dem Träger eines die gefüllten Säcke abfördernden Förderbandes angeordnet, der zur Formatänderung heb- und absenkbar in dem Maschinengestell geführt und gelagert ist.In devices of the type according to the invention usually bags are different Size and length made and filled. Therefore, it is necessary to Distance between the cross-welding and cross-cutting device and the transport plane to change the bags to be filled and on different bag lengths adapt. The cooling serving jaws are therefore expediently arranged on the support of a conveyor belt conveying off the filled sacks, the format change can be raised and lowered in the machine frame is guided and stored.

Die die abgetrennten Säcke haltemden Zangen sind zweckmäßigerweise querverschieblich oder schwenkbar zum Maschinengestell gelagert, so daß sie die abgetrennten Säcke um eine Taktstrecke in Richtung auf die Füllstation fördern können. The separated bags squeezing pliers are conveniently transversely displaceable or pivotally mounted to the machine frame so that they separated Sacks to promote a stroke in the direction of the filling station.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist etwa im Taktabstand von den Kühlbacken ein zweites Kühlbackenpaar vorgesehen, von denen mindestens eine Backe gekühlt ist. Auch dieses zweite Kühlbackenpaar ist zweckmäßigerweise mit dem Träger des Förderbandes oder an einer mit diesem verbundenen Konsole befestigt.Conveniently, approximately at a pitch of the cooling jaws, a second Cooling jaw pair provided, of which at least one jaw is cooled. Also This second pair of cooling jaws is expediently with the carrier of the conveyor belt or attached to a console connected thereto.

Nach einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Länge der Wand an die Höhe des Trägers des Förderbandes, also an geänderte Sackformate, anpaßbar ist.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is provided that the length of the wall to the height of the support of the conveyor belt, so changed to Bag formats, is adaptable.

Zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Sackformate kann die Wand aus einer flexiblen Bahn bestehen, deren unteres Ende an dem Träger oder an einer mit diesem verbundenen Konsole befestigt ist, wobei die Bahn zwischen einer oberen Umlenkstange oder Umlenkkante und einer Befestigung ihres anderen Endes an dem Maschinengestell in eine Schlaufe gelegt und in die Schlaufe ein Gewicht, z.B. eine Stange, eingelegt ist. Bei einem Verfahren des Trägers des Förderbandes paßt sich die Wand dadurch selbsttätig geänderten Formaten an, daß die Wand verlängernde Bahnabschnitte aus der Schlaufe herausgezogen oder die Wand verkürzende Bahnabschnitte in die Schlaufe hineingezogen werden.To adapt to different bag formats, the wall of a flexible Rail consist whose lower end to the carrier or at one connected thereto Console is attached, the web between an upper deflecting rod or deflecting edge and an attachment of its other end to the machine frame placed in a loop and in the loop a weight, e.g. a Rod, is inserted. In a method of the carrier of the conveyor belt fits the wall by automatically changed formats that the wall extending Track sections pulled out of the loop or the wall shortening Rail sections are pulled into the loop.

Zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Formate kann die Wand auch aus einander überlappenden Wandabschnitten bestehen, von denen der obere gestellfest gehalten und der untere an dem Träger befestigt ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung bestehen die Wandabschnitte aus steifem Material.To adapt to different formats, the wall can also be made of each other overlapping wall sections are made, of which the upper frame held and the lower is attached to the carrier. In this embodiment exist the wall sections of rigid material.

Anhand der Fig. 5 wird nun die flatterfreie Absenkung des vorderen mit einer Bodenschweißnaht 60 versehenen Endes der Schlauchfolienbahn 5 näher beschrieben. Während des intermittierenden Vorschubs der Schlauchfolienbahn 5 durch die Querschweiß- und Querschneideinrichtung 15 hindurch ist der in Richtung des Pfeils A hin- und herschwenkbare Backen 17 von dem gestellfesten Backen 16 abgehoben. Unterhalb des Backens 17 ist im Maschinengestell ein Blasluftdüsenspalt oder eine Reihe von Blasluftdüsen 61 angeordnet, deren Blasluftstrom senkrecht nach unten gerichtet ist. Parallel zu der Vorschubstrecke für die Schlauchfolienbahn 5 bzw. die von dieser abgetrennten Sackabschnitte 21 ist im Maschinengestell eine Wand 62 vorgesehen, die aus einer straff gehaltenen Folienbahn oder Gewebebahn besteht. Das untere Ende 63 der Bahn 62 ist mit Konsolen 64 verbunden, die mit dem Träger 55 des Förderbandes 51 in der aus Fig. 4 ersichtlichen Weise verbunden sind. Die Bahn 62 läuft von ihrer unteren Befestigung 63 über eine obere gestellfest gehaltene Umlenkstange 65 zu ihrer gestellfesten Befestigung 66. Zwischen der Umlenkstange 65 und ihrer Befestigung 66 ist die Bahn 62 zu einer Schlaufe 67 ausgezogen, wobei in die Schlaufe eine die Bahn 62 straff haltende Stange 68 eingelegt ist. Wird zur Formatanpassung der Träger 55 des Förderbandes 51 der Höhe nach verfahren, paßt sich der straff gehaltene Abschnitt 62 der Bahn immer an die veränderten Sackformate dadurch an, daß die benötigte Bahnlänge aus der Schlaufe 67 abgezogen wird oder in diese hineinwandert.With reference to FIG. 5 is now flutter-free lowering of the front with a bottom weld 60 provided end of the tubular film web 5 described in more detail. During the intermittent feed of the tubular film web 5 through the Transverse welding and transverse cutting device 15 therethrough is in the direction of Arrow A back and forth swinging jaws 17 lifted from the frame-fixed jaw 16. Below the jaw 17 is a Blasluftdüsenspalt in the machine frame or a series of blowing air nozzles 61 arranged, the blowing air flow perpendicular directed downwards. Parallel to the feed path for the tubular film web 5 or separated from this bag sections 21 is in the machine frame Wall 62 is provided, which consists of a taut film web or fabric web consists. The lower end 63 of the track 62 is connected to consoles 64 which connected to the carrier 55 of the conveyor belt 51 in the manner shown in FIG. 4 manner are. The web 62 runs from its lower attachment 63 via an upper fixedly held deflecting rod 65 to its frame-fixed attachment 66th Between the deflecting rod 65 and its attachment 66 is the web 62 to a Loop 67 pulled out, wherein in the loop a web 62 tautly holding Rod 68 is inserted. Is the format adaptation of the carrier 55 of the conveyor belt 51, the taut portion 62 of FIG Train always to the changed sack formats by the fact that the required track length is withdrawn from the loop 67 or wanders into this.

Zwischen der aus der straff gespannten Folienbahn 62 bestehenden Wand und dem durch die Vorzugswalzen 6 vorgeschobenen Abschnitt der Bahn 5 ist ein Spalt geeigneter Breite 69 gebildet. Oberhalb der Wand 62 befinden sich die Blasdüsen 61 oder ein Blasdüsenspalt, aus denen Blasluft in Vorschubrichtung des vorauslaufenden Abschnitts der Bahn 5 in den Spalt 69 eingeblasen wird. Aufgrund der Verengung in dem Spalt erfährt die Blasluft eine laminare Strömung, die eine Saugwirkung auf den vorgeschobenen Bahnabschnitt ausübt und dadurch deren Flattern uns Ausweichen verhindert. Aufgrund der die Bahn straffenden und ansaugenden Wirkung des Blasluftstroms 61 läßt sich der vorauslaufende Abschnitt der Schlauchfolienbahn 5 mit der durch das Vorzugswalzenpaar 6 vorgegebenen Geschwindigkeit in Richtung auf die Konsole 64 absenken.Between the consisting of the tightly stretched film web 62 wall and the advanced by the feed rollers 6 section of the web 5 is a gap suitable width 69 formed. Above the wall 62 are the tuyeres 61 or a blowing nozzle gap, from which blowing air in the feed direction of the leading Section of the web 5 is blown into the gap 69. Due to the Narrowing in the gap, the blowing air undergoes a laminar flow, the one Suction acts on the advanced web section and thereby their Flutter prevents us from dodging. Because of the train tightening and sucking Effect of Blasluftstrom 61 can be the leading section of the Tube film web 5 with the predetermined by the feed roller pair 6 speed Lower in the direction of the console 64.
