- the bagging machine 1 comprises a table 15 for manual introduction parallel to the plate 10. When the sheath 7 is positioned on the plate 10, it is opposite the introduction table 15, making it possible to direct the loaves P towards the tray 10 and introduce them into the bag 11.
- the plate 10 defines a bagging direction X parallel to the plate 10 and to the table 15, and which designates the direction in which the loaves P are inserted into the bags 11.
- the bagging machine 1 also comprises a system for discharging the bagged food products, formed by a conveyor 21 movable in a direction Y transverse to the bagging direction X.
- a conveyor 21 movable in a direction Y transverse to the bagging direction X.
- movable in a direction Y is meant that the conveyor 21 is oriented along the Y direction, which is therefore a conveying direction of the conveyor 21.
- the conveyor 21 is a conveyor belt which moves along the Y axis, and which has a rotation movement around of axes parallel to the direction of bagging X.
- the direction of discharge of the bagged products is therefore transverse, according to the arrow F1.
- the tray 10 is formed by an upper surface of the conveyor 21.
- the conveyor 21 remains stationary and forms the tray 10 while the sheath 7 is unwound, the bag is formed and a loaf is inserted, then is only actuated for the 'evacuation.
- Z is designated a vertical direction of the bagging machine 1, perpendicular to the X and Y directions.
- the machine 1 comprises a blower system 17 making it possible to shape the sheath 7 when the latter is positioned on the plate 10 and the sachets 11 when the loaves P are introduced.
- the blower system 17 comprises a fan which generates a flow of air in a direction oblique with respect to the bagging direction X, which makes it possible to keep the bag 11 in shape by inflating it with air, so that it has a substantially cylindrical shape with a circular section facilitating the insertion of a bread P.
- the bagging machine 1 comprises a blocking member 19 adapted to block the sheath 7 in position against the plate 10 before the cutting, folding and welding of the sheath 7 by the means 13, to form the bag 11.

- the blocking member 19 exerts a force perpendicular to the plate 10 which presses a lower edge 70a of an end 70 of the sheath 7, open on the side of the table 15, against the plate 10, to hold it in position.
- the kinematics of movement of the blocking member 19 will be detailed later in the context of the operation of the bagging machine 2.
- the movements of the locking member 19 between its retracted position and its advanced position, and between its raised position and its pressed position, can be obtained for example by means of a jack or any other mechanical, electrical or pneumatic actuator.
- a useful length L of the plate 10, defined along the bagging direction X between the means 13 for cutting, folding and welding, and the table 15, is variable by covering part of the conveyor 21 by the table 15, which is movable in translation along the bagging direction X with respect to the conveyor 21.
- the table 15 can partially cover the conveyor 21 and therefore reduce the useful length L of the plate 10.
- the length of sheath 7 which is unrolled on the plate 10 is chosen, and therefore the length of the bags 11 which will be formed are adapted to the length of the products to be bagged.
- the blocking member 19, the blower system 17, and the table 15 are provided on a movable carriage 27.
- This carriage 27 is movable in translation along the bagging direction X as represented by the double arrow F2 and makes it possible to vary the useful length L of the plate 10.
- the carriage 27 is positioned to the right ( figure 1 ).
- the table 15 does not cover the conveyor 21, and the useful length L of the plate 10.
- the carriage 27 For a short bread or product (for example square or round), the carriage 27 is moved to the left, closer to the means 13 ( figure 2 ).
- the table 15 partly covers the conveyor 21, and the useful length L of the plate 10 is minimal.
- the carriage 27 can also be positioned at intermediate positions between the positions of the figure 1 and 2 .
- the carriage 27 comprises a cavity 270 for receiving the conveyor 21.
- the carriage 27 is in fact hollow and the cavity 270 is open on the side of the conveyor 21.
- the conveyor 21 is partly received in the cavity 270 of the carriage 27.
- the carriage 27 includes a handle 272 for moving along the bagging direction X.
- This handle 272 allows an operator to manually move the carriage 27 and easily adjust the useful length L according to the products he wish to bag.
- the carriage 27 also comprises a device 274 for locking its position in the bagging direction X with respect to the conveyor 21.
- This device may for example be a handle or a locking lever. Thus the operator can lock the useful length L once adjusted.
- the bagging machine 1 comprises two side guides 23 mounted to pivot with respect to the table 15, movable in rotation about axes parallel to the vertical direction Z.
- the ends free 231 of the side guides 23 penetrate into the sheath 7 when the latter is placed on the plate 10 and shaped by the blowing system 17.
- the side guides 23 are biased by elastic elements such as springs 233 , in a position where they are folded towards each other in the middle of the table 15.
- the guides 23 are mounted on a support 230 movable relative to the carriage 27 in translation along the bagging direction X. Before the insertion of a loaf 3 on the introduction conveyor belt 15, the guides 23 are advanced close position of the plate 10 ( figure 8 ), in which their free end 231 is inserted into the bags 11 prior to the insertion of a food product.
- the displacement of the support 230 can for example be carried out by cylinders which are not shown.
- the side guides 23 are again pushed back towards the center of the table 15 under the action of the springs 233.
- the support 230 is then moved towards its initial retracted position.
- the bagging process takes place as follows: the sheath 7 is unwound from the reel 5 on the plate 10. Then, the unwound sheath 7 is shaped using the blower system 17 ( figure 5 ).

- the locking member 19 is in the retracted and raised position relative to the plate 10.
- the blocking member 19 is moved to its advanced position in the sheath 7 according to the arrow F4, and is still high relative to the plate 10.
- the guides 23 are moved back by the displacement of the support 230 opposite the plate 10 ( figure 9 ), then the blocking member 19 is moved towards its raised position ( figure 10 ) to release the bag 11 and the bread P that it contains before its lateral evacuation by the conveyor 21.
- the locking member 19 is then positioned again towards its raised position and retracted from the figure 5 .
- the bagging machine 2 comprises a device for triggering by an operator the evacuation of a filled bag 11 .
- This device is formed by a motion detection cell 30, provided by a control unit 32, configured to detect a movement of the operator following the insertion of one or more products into a bag. For example, the operator may wish to insert several products into a bag 11, then close the latter with a clip. Once these operations are complete, the operator passes his hand in front of the cell 30, which triggers the release of the bag 11 by the blocking member 19 and the evacuation by the conveyor 21.
- the bagging machine 2 comprises a labeling system 34 configured to deposit labels on the sheath 7 prior to its unwinding on the plate 10.
- the labeling system 34 comprises a movable piston applying labels, which constitutes a potential danger for the hands of the operators. With respect to the direction of unwinding of the sheath 7, the labeling system 34 is therefore located upstream of the plate 10 and the means 13 for folding, cutting and welding.
- the labeling system 34 is located above the baffle rollers 4, and therefore on the side opposite the plate 10 with respect to the means 13 for folding, cutting and welding. Thus, the labeling system 34 is therefore not located above the plate 10, which improves the safety of the bagging machine 2, and provides additional space to the operator for his manipulations.
- the bagging machine 2 comprises a shelf 36 on which the sheath 7 is unrolled in order to provide support during the application of the labels.
- the bagging machine 1 may include jacks for moving the carriage 27, not shown, in the bagging direction X. This or these jacks can be controlled by the control unit 32 of the bagging machine. Bagging 1, after the operator has specified the length of the loaves he is about to bag, for example via an interface 320. In this case, the mobility of the carriage 27 can be ensured by any other mechanical, electrical or pneumatic.
- the invention has been shown in the context of the use of a baguette-type bread. It is in fact applicable with any type of bread and, in general, with any food product, such as sausage or an article of pastries.

Description
La présente invention concerne une machine d'ensachage de produits alimentaires, notamment de pains.The present invention relates to a bagging machine for food products, in particular bread.
Pour l'ensachage de pains dans les boulangeries ou les centres commerciaux, il est connu, notamment de
En détail,
Une telle machine peut être améliorée. Dans le cas où les pains sont introduits à l'aide d'un tapis roulant, celui-ci doit être de grande longueur pour fonctionner correctement, et cette machine est donc adaptée aux produits longs, comme les baguettes, dont le guidage est plus facile. En revanche des produits non calibrés, tels que des pains ronds ou autres produits alimentaires non allongés, ont un guidage moins aisé qui rend difficile leur insertion par un tapis roulant. Les produits non calibrés sont insérés plus facilement à la main par un opérateur.Such a machine can be improved. In the case where the loaves are introduced using a conveyor belt, this must be very long to operate correctly, and this machine is therefore suitable for long products, such as baguettes, which are easier to guide. . On the other hand, non-calibrated products, such as round loaves or other non-elongated food products, have less easy guidance which makes it difficult to insert them by a conveyor belt. Uncalibrated products are more easily inserted by hand by an operator.
D'autres machines d'ensachages présentent des piles de sachets préformés dans lesquels des pains sont insérés à la main sur un plan horizontal, puis chaque sachet est détaché et versé sur un plan incliné sur lequel il est maintenu en place pour fermer le sachet. De telles machines nécessitent d'importants mouvements de bras pour enfoncer les pains dans les sachets préformés et détacher les sachets des piles, engendrant des blessures.Other bagging machines feature stacks of preformed pouches into which loaves are inserted by hand on a horizontal plane, then each pouch is detached and poured down an inclined plane on which it is held in place to seal the pouch. Such machines require significant arm movements to push the loaves into the preformed pouches and detach the pouches from the stacks, causing injuries.
C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend remédier l'invention en proposant une nouvelle machine d'ensachage dans laquelle le nombre et l'amplitude des mouvements nécessaires aux opérateurs pour réaliser l'ensachage des pains et réduit par rapport aux machines connues, et permet l'ensachage de produits non calibrés à une cadence élevée.It is these drawbacks that the invention intends to remedy by proposing a new bagging machine in which the number and the amplitude of the movements necessary for the operators to carry out the bagging of the loaves and reduced compared to known machines, and allows the bagging of non-calibrated products at a high rate.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne une machine d'ensachage de produits alimentaires, notamment de pains, cette machine étant adaptée à recevoir au moins une bobine rotative comprenant une gaine tubulaire enroulée, un mécanisme d'entraînement de la gaine à partir de la bobine, des moyens de découpe, pliage et de soudage configurés pour former des sachets à partir de la gaine, un plateau sur lequel la gaine déroulée est positionnée, un système de soufflerie de mise en forme de la gaine, une table d'introduction manuelle de produits alimentaires dans un sachet formé sur le plateau selon une direction d'ensachage, un organe de blocage adapté pour bloquer en position un bord d'une extrémité de la gaine, ouverte du côté de la table, contre le plateau avant la formation du sachet, et un système d'évacuation des produits alimentaires ensachés. Cette machine est caractérisée en ce que le système d'évacuation comprend un convoyeur orienté selon une direction transversale à la direction d'ensachage, ce convoyeur formant le plateau, et en ce qu'une longueur utile du plateau, définie selon la direction d'ensachage entre les moyens de découpe, pliage et de soudage et la table, est variable par recouvrement d'une partie du convoyeur par la table, qui est mobile en translation par rapport au plateau selon la direction d'ensachage.To this end, the invention relates to a machine for bagging food products, in particular bread, this machine being adapted to receive at least one rotating reel comprising a rolled up tubular sheath, a mechanism for driving the sheath from the reel, cutting, folding and welding means configured to form sachets from the sheath, a tray on which the unrolled sheath is positioned, a blower system for shaping the sheath, a table for the manual introduction of food products into a bag formed on the tray in a bagging direction, a blocking member adapted to block in position an edge of one end of the sheath, open on the side of the table, against the plate before the formation of the bag, and a system for discharging the bagged food products. This machine is characterized in that the evacuation system comprises a conveyor oriented in a direction transverse to the direction of bagging, this conveyor forming the tray, and in that a useful length of the tray, defined in the direction of bagging between the cutting, folding and welding means and the table is variable by covering part of the conveyor by the table, which is movable in translation relative to the plate in the bagging direction.
Grâce à l'invention, les produits alimentaires non calibrés sont ensachés à la main et évacués automatiquement. Un opérateur n'a pas de mouvements amples à faire, hormis l'introduction manuelle. Il en résulte une cadence élevée et un grand confort d'utilisation pour les opérateurs. Pour les produits de longueurs variables, la longueur du plateau est variable, et le recouvrement du convoyeur par la table permet de réduire l'encombrement de la machine.Thanks to the invention, the non-calibrated food products are bagged by hand and evacuated automatically. An operator has no large movements to make, apart from manual entry. This results in a high rate and great comfort of use for the operators. For products of variable lengths, the length of the tray is variable, and the covering of the conveyor by the table makes it possible to reduce the size of the machine.

La machine d'ensachage 1 comprend un bâti 3. La machine 1 est adaptée pour recevoir une ou plusieurs bobines 5 montées rotatives par rapport au bâti 3 et supportant une gaine tubulaire 7 enroulée. La machine 1 comprend un mécanisme d'entrainement de la gaine 7 à partir de l'une des bobines 5, incluant plusieurs rouleaux d'embarrage 4 destinés à dérouler et guider la gaine 7, des rouleaux d'entrainement 8 et 9, vers un plateau 10 sur lequel la gaine 7 est positionnée en vue de l'ensachage de pains P.The bagging machine 1 comprises a frame 3. The machine 1 is adapted to receive one or
Entre le plateau 10 et les rouleaux 8 et 9, la machine 1 comprend un dispositif non représenté d'ouverture de la gaine 7 et des moyens 13 de découpe, de pliage et de soudage de la gaine 7 aptes à former des sachets 11 à partir de la gaine 7. Les moyens 13 de découpe, pliage et de soudage comprennent des mâchoires aptes à découper la gaine 7, des organes de pliage de la partie découpée à son extrémité et des moyens de chauffage aptes à souder la partie pliée à la partie non pliée de la gaine 7, selon une technique connue de
La machine d'ensachage 1 comprend une table 15 d'introduction manuelle parallèle au plateau 10. Lorsque la gaine 7 est positionnée sur le plateau 10, elle se trouve en regard de la table d'introduction 15, permettant de diriger les pains P vers le plateau 10 et de les introduire dans le sachet 11.The bagging machine 1 comprises a table 15 for manual introduction parallel to the
Le plateau 10 définit une direction d'ensachage X parallèle au plateau 10 et à la table 15, et qui désigne la direction selon laquelle les pains P sont insérés dans les sachets 11.The
La machine d'ensachage 1 comprend également un système d'évacuation des produits alimentaires ensachés, formé par un convoyeur 21 mobile selon une direction Y transversale à la direction d'ensachage X. Par « mobile selon une direction Y », on entend que le convoyeur 21 est orienté selon la direction Y, qui est donc une direction de convoyage du convoyeur 21. En d'autres termes, le convoyeur 21 est un tapis roulant qui se déplace selon l'axe Y, et qui a un mouvement de rotation autour d'axes parallèles à la direction d'ensachage X. Le sens d'évacuation des produits ensachés est donc transversal, selon la flèche F1.The bagging machine 1 also comprises a system for discharging the bagged food products, formed by a
Le plateau 10 est formé par une surface supérieure du convoyeur 21. Le convoyeur 21 reste immobile et forme le plateau 10 pendant que la gaine 7 est déroulée, que le sachet est formé et qu'un pain est inséré, puis est seulement actionné pour l'évacuation.The
On désigne Z une direction verticale de la machine d'ensachage 1, perpendiculaire aux directions X et Y.Z is designated a vertical direction of the bagging machine 1, perpendicular to the X and Y directions.
La machine 1 comprend un système de soufflerie 17 permettant de mettre en forme la gaine 7 lorsque celle-ci est positionnée sur le plateau 10 et les sachets 11 lorsque les pains P sont introduits. Le système de soufflerie 17 comprend un ventilateur qui génère un flux d'air selon une direction oblique par rapport à la direction d'ensachage X, qui permet de maintenir en forme le sachet 11 en le gonflant d'air, de manière qu'il présente une forme sensiblement cylindrique à section circulaire facilitant l'insertion d'un pain P.The machine 1 comprises a
La machine d'ensachage 1 comprend un organe de blocage 19 adapté pour bloquer en position la gaine 7 contre le plateau 10 avant le découpage, le pliage et le soudage de la gaine 7 par les moyens 13, pour former le sachet 11. Dans cet exemple, l'organe de blocage 19 est un clapet plat apte à s'insérer dans la gaine 7 lorsqu'elle est mise en forme par le système de soufflerie 17.The bagging machine 1 comprises a blocking
L'organe de blocage 19 est mobile en translation selon la direction d'ensachage X par rapport au plateau 10, entre une position reculée, visible à la
Les déplacements de l'organe de blocage 19 entre sa position reculée et sa position avancée, et entre sa position élevée et sa position plaquée, peuvent être obtenus par exemple au moyen d'un vérin ou de tout autre actionneur mécanique, électrique ou pneumatique.The movements of the locking
Afin d'adapter la machine d'ensachage 1 aux différentes longueurs de pains ou de produits à ensacher, une longueur utile L du plateau 10, définie selon la direction d'ensachage X entre les moyens 13 de découpe, pliage et de soudage, et la table 15, est variable par recouvrement d'une partie du convoyeur 21 par la table 15, qui est mobile en translation selon la direction d'ensachage X par rapport au convoyeur 21. Comme cela est visible aux
En faisant varier la longueur utile L, on choisit la longueur de gaine 7 qui est déroulée sur le plateau 10, et donc on adapte la longueur des sachets 11 qui seront formés à la longueur des produits à ensacher.By varying the useful length L, the length of sheath 7 which is unrolled on the
L'organe de blocage 19, le système de soufflerie 17, et la table 15 sont prévus sur un chariot mobile 27. Ce chariot 27 est mobile en translation selon la direction d'ensachage X comme représenté par la double flèche F2 et permet de faire varier la longueur utile L du plateau 10.The blocking
Pour un pain ou produit long (par exemple une baguette), le chariot 27 est positionné vers la droite (
Pour un pain ou produit court (par exemple carré ou rond), le chariot 27 est déplacé vers la gauche, plus près des moyens 13 (
Le chariot 27 peut également être positionné à des positions intermédiaires entre les positions des
Comme cela est visible sur les
Selon un aspect optionnel, le chariot 27 comporte une poignée de déplacement 272 selon la direction d'ensachage X. Cette poignée 272 permet à un opérateur de déplacer manuellement le chariot 27 et de facilement ajuster la longueur utile L en fonction des produits qu'il souhaite ensacher.According to an optional aspect, the
Le chariot 27 comporte également un dispositif de verrouillage 274 de sa position selon la direction d'ensachage X par rapport au convoyeur 21. Ce dispositif peut être par exemple une poignée ou un levier de verrouillage. Ainsi l'opérateur peut verrouiller la longueur utile L une fois réglée.The
Pour écarter les bords du sachet 11 et guider les produits vers celui, la machine d'ensachage 1 comporte deux guides latéraux 23 montés pivotants par rapport à la table 15, mobiles en rotation autour d'axes parallèles à la direction verticale Z. Les extrémités libres 231 des guides latéraux 23 pénètrent dans la gaine 7 lorsque celle-ci est mise en place sur le plateau 10 et mise en forme par le système de soufflage 17. Les guides latéraux 23 sont rappelés, par des éléments élastiques tels que des ressorts 233, dans une position où ils sont rabattus l'un vers l'autre au milieu de la table 15.To separate the edges of the
Les guides 23 sont montés sur un support 230 mobile par rapport au chariot 27 en translation selon la direction d'ensachage X. Avant l'insertion d'un pain 3 sur le tapis roulant d'introduction 15, les guides 23 sont avancés vers une position rapprochée du plateau 10 (
Lorsqu'un pain inséré selon la direction d'ensachage X par un opérateur passe entre les guides latéraux 23, ceux-ci sont repoussés par le pain et à l'encontre de l'effort des ressorts 233, selon les flèches F3 à la
Une fois que le pain a été inséré dans le sachet 11, les guides latéraux 23 sont à nouveau repoussés vers le centre de la table 15 sous l'action des ressorts 233. Le support 230 est ensuite déplacé vers sa position reculée initiale.Once the bread has been inserted into the
Le procédé d'ensachage se déroule de la façon suivante : la gaine 7 est dévidée de la bobine 5 sur le plateau 10. Ensuite, la gaine dévidée 7 est mise en forme à l'aide du système de soufflerie 17 (
Le bord 70a de la gaine 7 est bloqué contre le plateau 10 à l'aide de l'organe de blocage 19. Dans l'état initial

Ensuite, Ă la
Une fois le pain P en place dans le sachet 11, les guides 23 sont reculés par le déplacement du support 230 à l'opposé du plateau 10 (
Selon un aspect optionnel, la machine d'ensachage 2 comprend un dispositif de déclenchement par un opérateur de l'évacuation d'un sachet 11 rempli. Ce dispositif est formé par une cellule 30 de détection de mouvement, prévue du une unité de contrôle 32, configurée pour détecter un mouvement de l'opérateur faisant suite à l'insertion d'un ou plusieurs produits dans un sachet. Par exemple, l'opérateur peut souhaiter insérer plusieurs produits dans un sachet 11, puis fermer celui-ci avec un clip. Une fois ces opérations terminées, l'opérateur passe sa main devant la cellule 30, ce qui déclenche la libération du sachet 11 par l'organe de blocage 19 et l'évacuation par le convoyeur 21.According to an optional aspect, the bagging machine 2 comprises a device for triggering by an operator the evacuation of a filled
Selon un aspect optionnel, la machine d'ensachage 2 comporte un système d'étiquetage 34 configuré pour déposer des étiquettes sur la gaine 7 préalablement à son déroulage sur le plateau 10. Le système d'étiquetage 34 comprend un piston mobile appliquant des étiquettes, ce qui constitue un danger potentiel pour les mains des opérateurs. Par rapport au sens de déroulage de la gaine 7, le système d'étiquetage 34 se trouve donc en amont du plateau 10 et des moyens 13 de pliage, découpage et soudage. Le système d'étiquetage 34 se trouve au-dessus des rouleaux d'embarrage 4, et donc du côté opposé au plateau 10 par rapport aux moyens 13 de pliage, découpage et soudage. Ainsi, le système d'étiquetage 34 ne se trouve donc pas au-dessus du plateau 10, ce qui améliore la sécurité de la machine d'ensachage 2, et fournit un espace supplémentaire à l'opérateur pour ses manipulations. La machine d'ensachage 2 comprend une tablette 36 sur laquelle la gaine 7 est déroulée afin de fournir un support lors de l'application des étiquettes.According to an optional aspect, the bagging machine 2 comprises a
En variante non représentée, la machine d'ensachage 1 peut comporter des vérins de déplacement non représentés du chariot mobile 27 selon la direction d'ensachage X. Ce ou ces vérins peuvent être commandés par l'unité de contrôle 32 de la machine d'ensachage 1, après que l'opérateur ait spécifié la longueur des pains qu'il s'apprête à ensacher, par exemple via une interface 320. Dans ce cas, la mobilité du chariot 27 peut être assuré par tout autre actionneur mécanique, électrique ou pneumatique.In a variant not shown, the bagging machine 1 may include jacks for moving the
L'invention a été représentée dans le cadre de l'utilisation d'un pain de type baguette. Elle est en fait applicable avec tout type de pain et, de façon générale, avec tout produit alimentaire, tel que du saucisson ou un article de viennoiserie.The invention has been shown in the context of the use of a baguette-type bread. It is in fact applicable with any type of bread and, in general, with any food product, such as sausage or an article of pastries.
