Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、例えば段ボール紙製や厚紙製の箱体、合成樹脂製や金属製のケース等の上面開口形態を有する容器の開口側周縁部に被せられた袋体の口部を封鎖する作業に用いられる袋封鎖装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、上述の袋体を封鎖する装置としては、例えばダンボールケースの開口側周縁部（フラップ）に被せられた袋の開口部を、直立保持機構を構成する各引っ掛け体で捲上げ及び起立して、第１保持体及び第２保持体、折曲げ体で保持した後、袋内の空気を空気吸引パイプで吸い出し、袋の両側面を一対の脱気板により押圧して、袋内の空気を脱気する。且つ、脱気済み袋の開口部を一対の把持ロッドで挟持した後、一対の把持ロッドを降下させながら回転して、袋の開口部を巻回閉止する特許文献１の袋開口部封止装置がある。
【０００３】
【特許文献１】
特開昭５５−１３４００２号公報。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上述の袋開口部封止装置は、第１保持体及び第２保持体、折曲げ体により保持された袋の両側面を一対の脱気板で押圧して脱気した後、脱気済み袋の開口部を一対の把持ロッドで挟持して巻回閉止するので、袋内の空気を脱気する工程及び袋の開口部を巻回する工程に移動したり、一対の脱気板及び一対の把持ロッドを駆動するときにタイムロスが生じるため、一つの袋体の口部を封鎖するときに要する作業時間が長く、作業能率が悪い。且つ、一対の脱気板及び一対の把持ロッドを駆動する機構が必要であるため、装置全体の構成及び構造が複雑になるという問題点を有している。
【０００５】
この発明は上記問題に鑑み、容器の開口側周縁部に起立するフラップに被せられた袋体の口部を捲上げて略扁平状態に緊張した後、該容器の左右フラップを袋体両側面と対向する方向に折曲げて脱気及び抜気することにより、袋体の口部を封鎖するときに要する動作時間が大幅に短縮され、袋封鎖作業の省力化及び能力アップを図ることができる袋封鎖装置の提供を目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明は、上面開口形態を有する容器の開口側周縁部に起立するフラップに被せられた袋体の口部を封鎖する袋封鎖装置であって、上記容器を搬送する容器送りコンベアと、上記容器送りコンベアの搬送方向に対して上下左右移動自在に設けられる一対の支持アームと、上記容器の開口側周縁部に起立するフラップに被せられた袋体の口部を捲上げる一対の袋捲上げ手段と、上記容器の前後縁部に起立するフラップを前後方向に対して折曲げ、上記袋捲上げ手段により捲上げられた袋体の口部を前後方向に対して略扁平状態に緊張する袋緊張手段と、上記容器の左右縁部に起立するフラップを、上記袋緊張手段により緊張された袋体両側面と対向する方向に折曲げる一対のフラップ折曲げ手段と、上記袋緊張手段により緊張された袋体の口部を略気密状態に密封する一対の袋密封手段とを備え、上記袋捲上げ手段と、上記フラップ折曲げ手段と、上記袋密封手段が上記支持アームに取り付けられる袋封鎖装置であることを特徴とする。
【０００７】
上述の容器は、例えば段ボール紙製や厚紙製の箱体、合成樹脂製や金属製のケース等で構成することができる。また、袋体は、例えば透明及び半透明に形成した合成樹脂フィルム製（ビニール製）の袋、合成樹脂で被覆され紙製の袋等で構成することができ、袋体の口部を外側に向けて二つ折り状態（ダブル折り状態）及び一つ折り状態（シングル折り状態）に折返して、容器の開口側周縁部に起立するフラップに被せることができる。また、袋捲上げ手段は、例えば捲上げ板や捲上げ棒、捲上げ枠、捲上げアーム、吸着子、粘着体等で構成することができる。また、袋緊張手段は、例えば中空又は中実の袋緊張棒や袋緊張板、袋緊張管等で構成することができる。また、フラップ折曲げ手段は、例えば略棒状や略板状、略線状の折曲げガイド、折曲げアーム、加圧エア等で構成することができる。また、袋密封手段は、例えば熱シールする加熱ヘッドや粘着テープ、粘着剤、留め金具、クリップ）等で構成することができる。
【０００８】
つまり、容器送りコンベアにより袋体の口部が被せられた容器を搬送し、容器の開口側周縁部に起立するフラップに被せられた袋体の口部を一対の支持アームに取り付けられた一対の袋捲上げ手段により捲上げた後、一対の袋捲上げ手段で捲上げられた袋体の口部を袋緊張手段により前後方向に対して略扁平状態に緊張及び保持すると共に、容器の左右縁部に起立するフラップを、一対のフラップ折曲げ手段により袋緊張手段で緊張された袋体両側面と対向する方向に折曲げて、袋体内部の空気を脱気及び抜気した後、袋緊張手段で緊張された袋体の口部を一対の袋密封手段により略気密状態に密封する。
【０００９】
実施の形態として、上記袋体両側面と対向する方向に折曲げられた容器の左右フラップを略鉛直状態に起立するフラップ起立手段（例えば側面から見て略三角形状の起立ガイド、フラップが起立される角度に斜設したガイドレール等）と、上記袋密封手段により密封された袋体の口部を容器の開口側周縁部よりも内側に押込むと共に、上記容器のフラップが内側に折畳み許容される状態に収容する袋押込み手段（例えば袋押込み板や袋押込み枠、袋押込み棒、袋押込みアーム等）を備えることができる。また、上記袋緊張手段を、上記袋体内部の空気が吸い出される機能（例えば吸気ブロワや真空ポンプ等の脱気装置）を備えた略中空断面形状を有する一対の袋緊張棒で構成することがでる。
【００１０】
【作用及び効果】
この発明によれば、容器の開口側周縁部に起立するフラップに被せられた袋体の口部を捲上げて略扁平状態に緊張した後、容器の左右フラップを袋体両側面と対向する方向に折曲げて脱気及び抜気するので、従来例のような袋体の両側面を一対の脱気板で押圧したり、一対の把持ロッドで挟持して巻回する動作及び工程が不要となり、脱気時及び封鎖時のタイムロスが少なく、一つの袋体の口部を封鎖するときに要する動作時間を大幅に短縮して、袋封鎖作業の省力化及び能力アップを図ることができる。且つ、一対の脱気板及び一対の把持ロッドを駆動する機構を設ける必要がなく、装置全体の構成及び構造を簡素化して、安価に製作することができる。
【００１１】

【００１８】
前述の袋緊張装置５０は、図６にも示すように、略中空断面形状を有する一対の袋緊張棒５１を、箱送りコンベア２０上の封鎖区間ｂ上部に架設した昇降枠５２の下面側前後部に枢着し、昇降枠５２の前後端部に取付けた回動シリンダ５３のピストンロッドを袋緊張棒５１の基端部に連結している。且つ、取付け枠５４を昇降枠５２上部に架設すると共に、その取付け枠５４に立設した昇降シリンダ５５のピストンロッドを昇降枠５２に連結している。且つ、一対の袋緊張棒５１は、例えば吸気ブロワや真空ポンプ等の脱気装置（図示省略）に接続され、袋体Ｆ内部の雰囲気を強制的に脱気及び抜気する。
【００１９】
つまり、一対の袋緊張棒５１を、昇降シリンダ５５の作動により略垂直方向に昇降動作して、封鎖区間ｂに搬送された箱体ＢのフラップＢａ，Ｂａ間に挿入される降下位置と、フラップＢａ，Ｂａ間から引抜かれる上昇位置とに上下移動する。且つ、回動シリンダ５３の作動により搬送方向と略平行する方向（前後方向）に回動して、袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａ及び箱体ＢのフラップＢａ，Ｂａ間に挿入される閉角度と、箱体ＢのフラップＢａ，Ｂａを搬送方向と略平行する方向に対して略９０度に折曲げる開角度とに前後回動すると共に、上述の袋捲上げ装置４０により捲上げられた袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを搬送方向（前後方向）に対して略扁平状態及び略直線状態に緊張する。
【００２０】
前述の袋密封装置６０は、図８及び図９にも示すように、加熱ヘッド６１を、搬送方向から見て左側昇降台４５を構成する支持アーム４５ａの先端側下部に取付けた進退シリンダ６２のピストンロッドに連結している。且つ、加熱ヘッド６１と対向する受けヘッド６３を、右側昇降台４５を構成する支持アーム４５ａの先端側下部に取付けた進退シリンダ６４のピストンロッドに連結している。つまり、進退シリンダ６２，６４を作動して、上述の袋緊張装置５０により緊張された袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａ両側面を加熱ヘッド６１及び受けヘッド６３で挟持して、加熱ヘッド６１の発熱作用により熱シールする。
【００２１】

【００２２】
且つ、図１０にも示すように、一対の折曲げガイド６５により折畳まれた箱体ＢのフラップＢｂ，Ｂｂが略鉛直状態に引き起こされる大きさ及び形状に形成（例えば側面から見て略三角形状）した一対の起立ガイド６６を、箱送りコンベア２０上の封鎖区間ｂと押込み区間ｃとの間の搬送路上部に配設している。
【００２３】
前述の袋押込み装置７０は、図１１にも示すように、箱体Ｂの上面側開口部と略対応する大きさ及び形状で、箱体Ｂ内部に対して挿入許容される大きさ及び形状に形成した袋押込み板７１を、箱送りコンベア２０上の押込み区間ｃ上部に架設した取付け枠７２に対して上下移動自在に垂設し、取付け枠７２に立設した昇降シリンダ７３のピストンロッドを袋押込み板７１に連結している。つまり、袋押込み板７１を、昇降シリンダ７３の作動により略垂直方向に昇降動作して、上述の袋密封装置６０により密封された袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａが箱体Ｂの開口側周縁部よりも内側に押込み収容される降下位置と、箱体Ｂの搬送が許容及び起立するフラップＢａ，Ｂｂに対して当接が回避される上昇位置とに上下移動する。なお、実施例のシリンダに代わり、例えばネジ送り機構やチェーン機構、カム機構、ソレノイド等の駆動手段を用いることもできる。
【００２４】
図示実施例は上記の如く構成するものにして、以下、袋封鎖装置１０により箱体Ｂ内部に敷設された袋体Ｆの封鎖動作を説明する。
【００２５】
先ず、図１及び図２に示すように、袋敷設済みの箱体Ｂ（図３参照）を、箱送りコンベア２０上の封鎖区間ｂに搬送及び停止させ、次の箱体Ｂを待機区間ａに待機させた後、箱昇降装置３０を駆動して、箱送りコンベア２０に載置された箱体Ｂを、袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを捲上げ及び緊張するのに適した高さに持ち上げる。
【００２６】
次に、図５にも示すように、袋捲上げ装置４０を駆動して、一対の捲上げユニット４１を箱体Ｂの底部側外面部に近接させ、一対の捲上げ板４７を箱体Ｂの底部側外面部に近接及び押圧した後、一対の捲上げユニット４１を略鉛直方向に上昇移動させながら、一対の捲上げ板４７を箱体ＢのフラップＢｂ，Ｂｂと袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａとの対向隙間に挿入して、箱体ＢのフラップＢａ，Ｂｂに被せられた袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを捲上げると共に、一対の捲上げユニット４１を、一対の折曲げガイド６５がフラップＢｂ，Ｂｂの下端側外面部に対して当接される高さに降下停止する。
【００２７】
且つ、袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを捲上げるまえに、袋緊張装置５０を構成する一対の袋緊張棒５１を、箱体ＢのフラップＢａ，Ｂａ間に挿入される閉角位置に回動したまま降下位置に予め降下しておき、一対の捲上げ板４７により捲上げられる袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａ内部に挿入する。
【００２８】
次に、図６にも示すように、袋緊張装置５０を駆動して、一対の袋緊張棒５１を開角度に前後回動させ、箱体ＢのフラップＢａ，Ｂａを搬送方向と略平行する前後方向に折曲げた後、一対の袋緊張棒５１を、袋緊張棒５１の先端部が箱体Ｂの開口側周縁部と略水平となる高さに垂直降下して、箱体ＢのフラップＢａ，Ｂａを略水平及び略水平以上の角度に折曲げる。
【００２９】
且つ、上述の袋捲上げ装置４０により捲上げられた袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを搬送方向（前後方向）に対して略扁平状態及び略直線状態に緊張し、袋体Ｆの開口側内壁面を互いに密着及び収容物（図示省略）上面に押付けて、袋体Ｆ内部の空気を脱気及び抜気する。同時に、袋緊張棒５１に接続された脱気装置の吸引力により強制的に脱気及び抜気する。
【００３０】
且つ、図７及び図８にも示すように、一対の袋緊張棒５１を、袋緊張棒５１の先端部が袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａに挿入及び係止される高さに上昇させながら、一対の捲上げユニット４１を袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａ両側面と対向する方向に移動して、箱体ＢのフラップＢｂ，Ｂｂを一対の折曲げガイド６５により内側に折曲げると共に、袋体Ｆの開口側内壁面を収容物（図示省略）上面に押付け、袋体Ｆの開口側内壁面を互いに密着させて、袋体Ｆ内部の空気を脱気及び抜気する。
【００３１】
続いて、図９にも示すように、袋密封装置６０の加熱ヘッド６１及び受けヘッド６３を、一対の袋緊張棒５１の先端部が挿入された部分よりも下位に位置する袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａ両側面に押付けて、袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを加熱ヘッド６１の発熱作用により略気密状態に熱シールする。この後、一対の捲上げユニット４１を離間方向に後退移動させ、一対の袋緊張棒５１を閉角度に回動し、袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａから抜き取って初期位置に上昇復帰させる。
【００３２】
次に、密封済みの袋体Ｆが敷設された箱体Ｂを、箱送りコンベア２０上の押込み区間ｃに搬送する途中において、図１０にも示すように、一対の折曲げガイド６５で折畳まれた箱体ＢのフラップＢｂ，Ｂｂを、一対の起立ガイド６６に沿って略鉛直状態に引き起こし、箱送りコンベア２０上の押込み区間ｃに搬送及び停止する。また、箱体ＢのフラップＢａ，Ｂａを略鉛直状態に引き起こしてもよい。
【００３３】
次に、図１１にも示すように、袋押込み装置７０を駆動して、袋押込み板７１を箱体Ｂ内部に対して略垂直に挿入すると共に、密封済み袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを箱体Ｂの開口側周縁部よりも内側に押込み、フラップＢａ，Ｂｂが内側に折畳み許容される状態（例えば箱体Ｂの開口側周縁部と略水平となる状態）に収容する。この後、袋押込み板７１を箱体Ｂ内部から抜き取って初期位置に復帰させ、袋押込み済みの箱体Ｂを封函工程に搬送して封函処理する。以下、上述と同様にして、袋体Ｆの封鎖作業を継続して行う。
【００３４】
以上のように、箱体Ｂの開口側周縁部に起立するフラップＢａ，Ｂａ，Ｂｂ，Ｂｂに被せられた袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを、袋捲上げ装置４０を構成する一対の捲上げ板４７で捲上げて、袋緊張装置５０を構成する一対の袋緊張棒５１で略扁平状態に緊張した後、箱体Ｂの左右フラップＢｂ，Ｂｂを袋体Ｆ両側面と対向する方向に折曲げて脱気及び抜気するので、従来例のような袋体の両側面を一対の脱気板で押圧したり、一対の把持ロッドで挟持して巻回する動作及び工程が不要となり、脱気時及び封鎖時のタイムロスが少なく、一つの袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを封鎖するときに要する動作時間を大幅に短縮して、袋封鎖作業の省力化及び能力アップを図ることができる。且つ、一対の脱気板及び一対の把持ロッドを駆動する機構を設ける必要がなく、装置全体の構成及び構造を簡素化して、安価に製作することができる。
【００３５】
且つ、袋体Ｆの口部Ｆａを緊張したまま密封するので、従来例のように袋体の口部を巻回するよりも、袋体Ｆの全長を短くすることができ、一つの袋体Ｆを製造するときの単価及び収容物を包装するときの包装コストの低減を図ることができる。
