Definitions
- references in brackets ([]) refer to the list of references at the end of the text.
- a certain type of bag is made of flexible material such as paper, plastic film or a combination of both and is intended in particular for the packaging of food products such as bread or bulk products.
- the size of the bag is adapted to its use, so that some bags have a long and narrow shape. This is the case, for example, bags intended for packing bread sticks.
- the bag is driven vertically to a receiving table on which a stack of bags is formed.
- the battery pushes a bracket that holds one end of the stack.
- DE 20 2004 005723 U1 [ 1 ] shows such a configuration.
- Such a provision is satisfactory when the arrival speed of the bags is not not too high and that the bags have a good intrinsic behavior that derives from the weight of the film and dimensional relationships. This is not the case for long-form bags. These bags have an outfit that is not enough to stand against the square.
- a stack forming machine having a conveyor extending horizontally above a receiving table.
- the conveyor pinches a leading edge of an arriving bag and takes it over the reception table to release it when the bag is entirely above the reception table.
- the bag is then stopped by a stop in the axis of displacement of the bags.
- Such a machine is limited in speed by the fact that beyond a certain speed, the bags are deformed and damaged when arriving against the stop.
- WO 91/08974 A1 [ 2 ] shows a machine for cutting and stacking cardboard sheets. After cutting, the sheets are accelerated to scroll on a table separately. Means of forming recovery can slow down the sheets and arrange them in recovery. The set of leaves then move at a reduced speed. The sheets are then transported by means of transport to a reception table. The leaves come to a stop against a cleat and pile up on the reception table.
- the invention aims to provide a method and a machine for forming packets of bags, especially long format bags, at high speed and without interruption of the production of the bags during the evacuation packages. Description of the invention
- the subject of the invention is a method of forming packages of flat bags in which a continuous line of bags moving in a forward direction is received, the bags are brought over receiving table on which the bags are stacked by being stopped in the direction directed in advance by a stop, characterized in that transforms the queue of continuous bags into a line of overlapping bags before stacking them, and a separation of the bags above the reception table is effected by separating means comprising a separation device, during which the separation device is introduced by a movement in a direction of separation perpendicular to the plane of the bags. between a predecessor bag and a follower bag in the overlapping queue so that when the follower bag comes to rest against the stop, it is supported at least partially by the yens of separation.
- the separation device by being introduced from above the line of bags, can be put in place very quickly, without risking a collision with a moving bag whose speed has already been reduced.
- the bags that continue to be produced are stored above the trailing bag that is retained, it is not necessary to interrupt their production. This makes it possible to guarantee permanent conditions for the production of the bags and to limit the dispersion of the characteristic properties of the bags.
- the separation device can be implemented automatically, for example after the passage of a predetermined number of bags since the start of production or the previous operation of evacuation bags.
- the packets that are thus formed are formatted reproducibly and parameterizable. Moreover, as the speed of movement of the bags has been reduced by the recovery, it no longer constitutes a limitation of the rate of production of the bags. It is thus possible to reach high speeds while forming simple packs to handle.
- the follower bag and the predecessor bag are moved at least at the rear edges of the bags, and, the separation means comprising a separation table, is introduced the separation table in the direction in advance between the predecessor bag and the follower bag to support the follower bag.
- the separation table supports the follower bag and those that stack on it very safely.
- the introduction of the separation table can be done even if the follower bag is still partially supported on the predecessor bag.
- the installation is easily adapted to bags of different lengths by simply changing the stroke of the separation table.
- the separation device is introduced to a first level and until the predecessor bag is in abutment, then the separating device is moved to a second level while maintaining the rear edge.
- the follower bag by a flexible blade protruding in the direction directed in advance, to separate the follower bag and the predecessor bag at the rear edges.
- the separation device maintains the conditions allowing the predecessor bag to reach the stop, thus avoiding pressure on said bag.
- the combination of the flexible blade and the separating device then makes it possible to obtain the spacing of the bags, at least at the rear edge, when the device forces the rear edges of the bags under the predecessor bag to pass beyond the flexible blade, while the follower bag is retained after the passage of the separation device. This creates a space in which the separation table can be introduced.
- the first and second level can represent a position or a force. Strength has the advantage of being able follow the continuous stacking of the bags. The position has the advantage of being easier to control.
- the follower bag and the predecessor bag are moved apart by lowering the receiving table, the separating device supporting the rear edge of at least the follower bag.
- the space is created by lowering the receiving table that supports the bag package surmounted by the predecessor bag.
- the separation table can then be introduced to support the bags along their entire length.
- the follower bag is supported by the separation device essentially over the entire length of the bag, and the receiving table is lowered, the separation device supporting the follower bag.
- the separation table is dispensed with, the support of the bags being provided solely by the separation device.
- the position of the separation device is continuously adjusted to maintain the upper level of the bag stack on the follower bag at a constant level. We thus maintain the same receiving conditions of the bags as and when the pack of bags, when it is supported by the separation device.
- the position of the receiving table is continuously adjusted to maintain the top level of the bag stack at a constant level. This applies when the receiving table supports a pack of bags on which new bags pile up.
- the upper level of the stack is held against higher means of transport placed above the reception table and accompanying the bags arriving on the stack in the direction directed in advance to the stop.
- the upper means of transportation help the bags at the top of the stack to reach the stopper, especially when the top level of the stack is kept constant by moving the receiving table, which also maintains a slight pressure between the stack and the higher means of transport.
- the receiving table is lowered, the pack of bags supported by the reception table is evacuated, the reception table is raised and the separation means are retracted to transfer the bag. follower on the reception table.
- the formed package can then be processed in a variety of ways, by being manually taken over for wrapping, being manually or automatically circled, or being automated palletized.
- the separation device is moved in a square cycle in a plane perpendicular to the direction oriented in advance, one of the movements of the square cycle being the introduction of the separation device.
- a movement can easily be implemented by the combination of two translation guide systems.
- We must understand the square cycle as the succession of translation steps, and not as the trajectory actually described by the device of separation. This one is rather rectangular, but it could also be a parallelogram.
- the first transfer means move at a speed lower than the arrival speed of the bags at a distance from one another, a reel upstream of the first transfer means moves the rear edge of a first bag in a folding direction perpendicular to the plane of the bags until a second bag that follows the first bag covers the rear edge of the first bag.
- a brake near and downstream of the reel plate the first bag against the first transfer means near the rear edge of said first bag.
- the bags are coated recovery against the first transfer means by a roller, the bag passing under the roller after being braked by the brake. This ensures that the recovery bags are driven by the first transfer means.
- each bag has a tab not glued folded to be folded on a first side of the bag
- the bags are placed so that they reach the first means of transfer the tongue forward and the first face oriented in the direction of drawdown .
- the tongue is thus held against the bag that precedes and has no risk of catching with another bag, even by sliding on the previous bag during stacking.
- the invention also relates to a machine for forming packets of bags receiving a continuous line of bags moving in one direction oriented in advance, a receiving table on which the bags are stacked by being stopped by a stop, the machine being characterized in that it comprises means for slowing down to receive the continuous line of bags and form a line of bags in recovery on first transfer means, separating means receiving the queue of overlapping bags from the first transfer means and comprising a separating device sliding in a movement perpendicular to the plane of the bags between a retracted position and a position separation device for introducing between a predecessor bag and a follower bag in the separation position so that, when the follower bag comes to stop against the stop, it is supported by the separation means, and in that the machine implements the method as described above.
- the machine comprises means for reversing the tab bags, the turning means comprising a pair of reversing transport means delimiting between them a path drawing about half a turn.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a machine according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view of the bags being recovered
- FIG. 5 and 6 are schematic side views of the stack of bags in particular phases of the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 12 is a view similar to FIG. 6 for a second embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 13 is a view similar to Figure 6 for a third embodiment of the invention.
- top and bottom refer to the orientations in the normal position of use of the machine.
- the front edge of the bag is the one that comes first in the direction of movement of the bag, the rear edge being opposite to the front edge.
- a bagpack forming machine is intended to receive bags 1 from a bag-making machine, shown, out of which the bags 1 are delivered one by one, flat in a continuous line, the bags 1 being separated from each other by a small gap d, as shown in Figure 3.
- the continuous line arrives in the packet forming machine according to a path symbolized by the arrow F1 in FIG.
- the bags 1 comprise for example a tongue 10 along a front edge 1 1 which is first in the direction of advance of the line of bags 1.
- the tongue 10 is folded over a first face 13 of the bag without being glued, which is oriented towards the up out of the manufacturing machine.
- the packet forming machine has turning means 2 for placing the bags 1 with the first face 13 facing downwards, slowing means 3 for receiving the continuous line of returned bags 1 and forming a line of bags 1 in recovery moving in a direction oriented in advance F3 on first transfer means 31, and a receiving table 4 on which the bags 1 in recovery from the first transfer means 31 are stacked by being stopped by a stop 5.
- the turning means 2 comprise a pair of reversing transport means 21, 22 delimiting between them a turning course drawing about a half-turn.
- This turning course extends from one end to the other of the packet forming machine passing into the lower part of the machine and then relying on a wheel 23 which performs the U-turn, shown on the part left of Figure 1, to end in a direction of substantially horizontal advance, from left to right in Figure 1.
- the overturning conveyance means 21, 22 conventionally comprise one or more parallel conveyor belts, looped, guided by rotary mounted rollers some of which perform the drive, in a manner not detailed here.
- each element of the pair of transport means comprises only one conveyor belt.
- the bands of the first and second reversing conveyance means 21, 22 of the pair face each other on the reversal path of the bags 1, so as to grip them, then follow a respective first and second return path 21 1, 221.
- the first turning conveyance means 21 comprise a first roller 212 which guides the first conveyor belt and directs it towards the first return path 21 1.
- the first roller 212 is positioned to be substantially tangent to a horizontal plane tangent to the wheel 23, the first return path 21 1 being oriented at this level downwards.
- the second reversing transport means 22 comprise a second roller 222 which guides the second conveyor belt and directs it towards the second return path 221.
- the second roller 222 is placed so as to be substantially tangent to the horizontal plane tangential to the wheel 23, the second return path 221 being oriented at this level upwards.
- the second roller 222 is closer to the wheel 23 than the first roller 212, so as to leave free a transfer zone Z above the first conveyor belt.
- the slowing means 3 comprise the first transfer means 31, the second transfer means 32, a reel 33 and a thrust roller 34.
- the first transfer means 31 comprise a conveyor belt, part of which extends by having a face 310 facing upwards in a plane in continuity with the overturning transport means 2.
- the conveyor belt also has a ramp 31 1, rising in the direction of the direction oriented in advance F3, just after the first roller 212.
- the reel 33 is placed opposite this ramp 31 1.
- the reel 33 comprises a shaft 331 rotatably mounted along a transverse axis in the direction of the arrow F2, that is to say in a direction accompanying the movement of the bags 1 in the direction in advance F3.
- the reel shaft 33 further comprises blades 332 curved upstream, that is to say opposite the arrow F2. The path of the blades 332 extends in the area between the ramp 31 1 and the trajectory of the bags 1 in the forward direction F3.
- the second transfer means 32 have a portion which extends above the transfer zone Z and in the direction of advance above the first transfer means 31. They comprise several conveyor belts leaving between them passages for the blades 332 of the reel 33.
- the brake 35 is located near and downstream of the reel 33, facing the end of the ramp 31 1. It also has a tree 351 rotatably mounted and a cam 352 protruding from the shaft.
- the brake 35 and the reel 33 comprise drive means, not shown, which drive them synchronously.
- the roller 34 is rotatably mounted freely about an axis also transverse. Its support 340 is mounted mobile in translation so as to be placed at an adjustable distance from the reel 33. The roller 34 remains in support towards the first transfer means 31.
- the separation means 8 also comprise a flexible blade 82 extending horizontally under the nose 36 and above the plane of the separation table 81 and protruding in the direction of advance.
- a first bag 1a that arrives from the overturning transport means 21, 22 remains substantially at the same speed as its rear edge has not left the transfer zone.
- the blades 332 of the reel 33 push said edge 12 downwards in a direction of folding perpendicular to the plane of the bags 1.
- the first bag 1 has begun to slow down because it is in contact with the first transfer means 31.
- a second bag 1b, following the first bag 1a, covers the rear edge 12 of the first bag 1a by sliding in the curved portion of the blades 332.
- the reel 33 retracts while continuing its rotation in the direction of the arrow F2.
- the brake 35 turning in the same direction, presses the first bag 1a to press against the first transfer means 31 near the rear edge 12 of said first bag 1a.
- the second bag 1b can continue to advance rapidly, thereby overlapping the first bag 1a, as shown in FIG. 4.
- the reel 33 and the brake 35 rotate through the bag 1.
- Their training means are thus specifically controlled, since this rhythm must be adapted to the length of the bags 1 and the interval between them.
- the bags 1 in recovery are pressed against the first transfer means 31 by the roller 34, the first bag 1 passing under the roller 34 after being braked by the brake 35. They then arrive at the nose 36.
- the bags 1 are stacked on the reception table 4, the fingers 801 of the separation device 80 being in position of withdrawal, above the bags 1.
- the bags 1 that arrive slide on the top of the stack of bags 1 that is formed.
- the stop 5 stops the bags 1 when they arrive against the abutment face 50, while the upper means of transport 9 accompany the bags 1 still overlapping towards the stop 5.
- the receiving table 4 progressively descends in order to maintain the upper level of the bag stack 1 at a constant level, and thus to keep the bags 1 in contact with the upper means of transport 9.
- the separating device 80 is moved to a second level by passing through the flexible blade 82 which retracts and then resumes its position while maintaining the trailing edge 12d of the follower bag 1d, in order to separate the follower bag 1d and the predecessor bag 1 c at the rear edges 12c, 12d.
- the rear edges 12 of the bags 1 in the package P on the reception table 4 are a little compressed down.
- the separation table 81 is then introduced in the forward direction F3 into the open space between the predecessor bag 1c and the follower bag 1d, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 9.
- the follower bag 1d is then supported by the separation table 81.
- the fingers 801 of the separating device 80 are piloted so that they deviate in a transverse direction and disengage from the bags 1, as shown in FIG. 10, the separating device 80 is raised upwards to the position of withdrawal and fingers 801 are returned to the initial position, which constitutes, with the downward movement to second level, a square cycle movement. The position reached is shown in Figure 1 1.
- the follower bag 1 d and the predecessor bag 1 c are moved aside by lowering the receiving table 4, the separating device 80 'supporting the rear edge 12d at least of the follower bag 1 d.
- the separation table 81 is then introduced under the follower bag 1 d. We find at this moment the same situation as in the first mode realization and one pursues in the same way.
- the third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the machine does not comprise a flexible blade or separation table. Furthermore, the fingers 801 "of the separating device 80" extend over a length substantially corresponding to the length of the bag.
- the fingers 801" support the follower bag 1 d essentially over the entire length of the bag.
