Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform correct control by determining whether or not a bag can be transferred onto a handling machine at a stop position based on two different kinds of information from an existence detection means. SOLUTION: A sensor comprises two pieces supported on a column-like guide 33 so that they can be raised/lowered, wherein an upper sensor 34 is placed on an upper surface level of a material 38 to be packaged in a bag and a lower sensor 35 is placed on a bag bottom level, respectively. Each of the sensors is formed of a non-contacting thermometer which is not in direct contact with the bag, while the upper sensor 34 confirms the upper surface of the material and the lower sensor 35 confirms the material at the bag bottom. For example, if a detection signal from the upper sensor 34 assures of existence of the material, the bag is transferred to a mediation means at a next stop position, and then it is transferred onto a secondary handling machine such as a vacuum-packaging machine for example. If the detection signal assures of no existence of the material in the bag however, the bag is eliminated from a clump 10 between two stop positions.

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. HEI-09-15087 discloses a method of detecting an object to be packaged in a bag conveyed by a bagging machine by a proximity or photoelectric sensor and installing an empty bag that is not filled with the object to be packaged. When passing through the area, it does not pass the empty bag from the bagging machine to the secondary processing equipment, but discloses an apparatus that passes the empty bag as it is and recycles it. There is a drawback that it works due to its rigidity and also works with aluminum bags, and sometimes cannot be controlled accurately.

As shown in FIG. 1, the above-mentioned sensors are composed of two parts which are supported on a columnar guide 33 so as to be able to move up and down. These sensors are arranged at the bottom level, and these sensors are formed by non-contact type thermometers that do not directly contact the bag. The upper sensor 34 confirms the upper surface of the packaged object, and the lower sensor detects the packaged bottom of the bag. Check things.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the detection signal 50 from the upper sensor 34 temporarily confirms the presence 51 of the packaged object, the bag is transferred to the intermediary device 36 at the stop position 3 in FIG. For example, they are transferred to secondary processing equipment such as a vacuum packaging machine. However, the detection signal 5
When 0 confirms the absence 53 of the item to be packaged in the bag, the bag is clamped between the stop positions 2 and 3 in FIG.
