Description of the Related Art In a sealing device in which an impulse current is repeatedly applied at regular time intervals to a heater wire provided along a metal heat bar, and a thermoplastic packaging material is successively welded by the heat generated by the heater wire, Even if the temperature of the heat bar is always detected by the sensor and the temperature of the heat bar is controlled by opening and closing the switch of the power supply circuit based on the detected temperature, there is a certain width between the upper and lower temperature limits. There is a disadvantage that it is uneven. Accordingly, a cartridge heater is buried in the heat bar, and while the base temperature of the heater is kept relatively high by the cartridge heater, an impulse current is further applied thereon (Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-91884 or Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No.

こる。With this new device,
Since the adjustment current is applied to the heat bar while maintaining the base temperature of the heat bar at a relatively high temperature, large temperature unevenness does not occur. However, in a rotary seal device in which a plurality of heaters are rotated along a circular orbit and these heaters are sequentially welded, slight unevenness in the processing or material or thinness of each heater wire causes a slight increase in each heater wire. There is an inherent difference in electrical resistance, and this difference tends to gradually increase as the years of use overlap. In general, logistics companies generally want to use inexpensive packaging materials in order to reduce packaging costs, and since this type of packaging material naturally has a smaller allowable welding width than good-quality packaging materials,
The slight unevenness in the temperature of the heater wire causes an excess or deficiency in the amount of heat with respect to the allowable width of welding of the packaging material, so that uniform welding cannot be expected.

When the opening of the packaging material 31 accommodating the article to be packaged 30 is placed, the seal bar 21 is moved down by mechanical power such as an actuator or a cam so that the opening is pressed by the heater wire 11 and the controller 32 is pressed. The high-voltage current adjusted by the above is pulsed into the heater wire 10 to weld the opening. In this case, the optimal welding value of the packaging material 31 is set to 180 degrees Celsius.
Assuming that the heating element 23 keeps the temperature of the seal bar 21 at 100 degrees Celsius, the controller 32 sends electric power suitable for heating the heater wire 10 to 80 degrees Celsius. This is shown in FIG. 1 already described. In FIG. 2, the seal bar 21 is shown to move up and down. However, the present invention can be applied as a device that suspends and supports the packaging material 31 and moves the seal bar 21 in the horizontal direction.

The controller 16 calculates the specific resistance value of the heater wire 10 from these feedback signals, and obtains an error value between the reference data value and the calculated resistance value by using the calculating means incorporated in the controller. Since the instruction signal 4 incorporated with reference to the numerical value is transmitted to the voltage converter 15, the amount of electric power transmitted through the voltage converter 15 corrects the error numerical value and always makes the amount of heat generated in the heater wire 10 uniform.
