Abstract

The compaction apparatus of the present invention is adapted for compacting content in a container wherein the container is soft and deformable. The compaction apparatus includes a pressing rod and a supporting table. The pressing table is driven to move along an axis so as to press the content in the container. The supporting table is adapted for the container to dispose on. The supporting table supports the container when the pressing rod moves toward the supporting table to press the content. The supporting table has a protrusion on a face thereof facing the pressing rod. When the container is placed on the supporting table, the protrusion abuts against the bottom of the container to form a recess on the bottom of the container. Thereby, the bottom of the compacted container can be prevented from being protruded, so the container may not fall on the conveyor.

Description

壓實設備、盛裝物之壓實方法與壓實盛裝物之包裝Compacting equipment, compacting method of contents and packaging of compacted contents

本發明係有關於一種將盛裝容器內之盛裝物壓實之壓實設備、壓實方法、以及經壓實後之包裝。The invention relates to a compacting device, a compacting method, and a compacted package for compacting contents in a container.

按，舉凡茶葉、香菇等農產品，時常盛裝於長形袋中，並常經由抽真空處理而以真空包裝的方式進行運輸與販售，具體來說，進行填料包裝之機台通常以夾爪或其他類似結構撐開袋體，並倒入一定量的盛裝物，之後再經包裝程序後出貨。By the way, agricultural products such as tea leaves and shiitake mushrooms are often packed in long bags, and are often transported and sold in vacuum packaging after vacuum treatment. Other similar structures open the bag body, and pour a certain amount of content into it, and then ship it through the packaging process.

其中，為了使袋體能盛裝較多盛裝物，或是使包裝成品體積較小，亦或是便於抽真空，在封袋包裝前，多會進行壓實作業，來使盛裝物較密實地聚集於袋體內，具體來說，多以能夠升降移動之壓實桿伸入袋體內，藉壓實桿將盛裝物往下推壓，以達到壓實目的。Among them, in order to make the bag body hold more contents, or to make the packaged product smaller, or to facilitate vacuuming, before sealing the bag for packaging, compaction operations are usually carried out to make the contents more densely gathered in the bag. In the bag, specifically, a compacting rod that can move up and down is inserted into the bag, and the contents are pushed down by the compacting rod to achieve the purpose of compaction.

壓實後之袋體通常依序置於輸送帶等機構上，以攜帶至包裝機台進行封袋包裝程序，然而，由於袋體的可變形性與彈性，進過壓實作業後之袋體底部常呈凸弧狀，換言之，袋體底部中央部分相對周緣部分通常較為凸出，使袋體很難穩固地置放於輸送帶上，特別是在受輸送帶攜帶移動時，袋體更易因震動等因素傾倒，大大地影響了作業流程，亟待改善。The compacted bags are usually placed on the conveyor belt and other mechanisms in order to be carried to the packaging machine for bag sealing and packaging. However, due to the deformability and elasticity of the bag, the bag after the compaction operation The bottom is often in the shape of a convex arc. In other words, the central part of the bottom of the bag is usually more protruding than the peripheral part, which makes it difficult to place the bag firmly on the conveyor belt, especially when it is carried by the conveyor belt. Factors such as vibration and other factors have greatly affected the operation process, which needs to be improved urgently.

本發明之其中一目的係提供一種壓實設備、壓實方法與壓實盛裝物包裝，能確保盛裝物壓實後之盛裝容器可穩固地置放於輸送帶上，不易傾倒而影響作業順暢。One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a compacting device, a compacting method, and a package for compacted content, which can ensure that the container after the compacted content can be placed on the conveyor belt stably, and is not easy to tip over and affect the smooth operation.

再請參考圖1、2與圖3A至圖3E，該壓實設備10包含至少一壓實桿11、一第一驅動機構12與一承接台13，該第一驅動機構12連接至該至少一壓實桿11，以驅動該至少一壓實桿11沿一軸線移動，進而將該盛裝物300壓實於該盛裝容器200內；該承接台13設於該軸線之延伸線上，其朝向該至少一壓實桿11之一面供該盛裝容器200以其底部放置於上，藉此於該至少一壓實桿11朝向該承接台13移動以壓實該盛裝物300時，能提供該盛裝容器200支撐，其中，該承接台13朝向該至少一壓實桿11之一面具有一凸塊131，當該盛裝容器200置放於該承接台13時，該凸塊131抵頂至該盛裝容器200之底部之部分，使該盛裝容器200之底部形成一凹部201。Please refer to Fig. 1, 2 and Fig. 3A to Fig. 3E again, this compacting equipment 10 comprises at least one compacting rod 11, a first driving mechanism 12 and a receiving platform 13, and this first driving mechanism 12 is connected to this at least one The compacting rod 11 is used to drive the at least one compacting rod 11 to move along an axis, and then compact the content 300 in the container 200; One side of a compaction rod 11 is for the container 200 to be placed on with its bottom, whereby when the at least one compaction rod 11 moves toward the receiving platform 13 to compact the content 300, the container 200 can be provided Supporting, wherein, the receiving platform 13 has a protrusion 131 on one side facing the at least one compacting rod 11, when the container 200 is placed on the receiving platform 13, the protrusion 131 abuts against the container 200 The part of the bottom makes the bottom of the container 200 form a recess 201 .

本發明同時亦提供一種盛裝物之壓實方法，係利用上述之壓實設備10，並包含：將該盛裝容器200置放於該承接台13上，使該凸塊131抵頂至該盛裝容器200之底部之部分，並使該至少一壓實桿11受該第一驅動機構12之驅動朝該承接台13移動，以將該盛裝物300壓實於該盛裝容器200內。At the same time, the present invention also provides a method for compacting the contents, which uses the above-mentioned compaction equipment 10, and includes: placing the container 200 on the receiving platform 13, and making the protrusion 131 abut against the container 200, and make the at least one compacting rod 11 driven by the first driving mechanism 12 to move towards the receiving platform 13, so as to compact the content 300 in the container 200.

藉此，本發明亦能提供一種壓實盛裝物之包裝，係以上述盛裝物之壓實方法壓實而成，該壓實盛裝物之包裝包含該盛裝容器200與該盛裝物300，其中該盛裝物300被壓實於該盛裝容器200內。Thereby, the present invention can also provide a package of compacted contents, which is formed by compacting the above-mentioned method of compacting the contents. The package of compacted contents includes the container 200 and the contents 300, wherein the The contents 300 are compacted in the container 200 .

具體來說，該凸塊131之表面可為凸弧面狀，亦可為平台狀，只要能於該盛裝容器200之底部產生面積足夠之凹部201即足；較佳地，該凸塊131之位置恰好對應於該盛裝容器200之底部中心，使該凹部201形成於該盛裝容器200之底部中心處；更具體來說，由於該盛裝容器200之底部中心部分形成該凹部201，使該盛裝容器200之底部周緣形成一相對於該凹部201之凸緣202，進而使該盛裝容器200易於穩固站立，較佳地，該凹部201之截面積大於該盛裝容器200之底部面積之二分之一，但應小於該盛裝容器200之底部面積，方能達成上述效果。Specifically, the surface of the protruding block 131 can be convex arc-shaped or platform-shaped, as long as a recess 201 with a sufficient area can be formed at the bottom of the container 200; preferably, the surface of the protruding block 131 The position just corresponds to the center of the bottom of the container 200, so that the recess 201 is formed at the center of the bottom of the container 200; more specifically, since the center of the bottom of the container 200 forms the recess 201, the container The bottom periphery of 200 forms a flange 202 relative to the recess 201, thereby making the container 200 easy to stand firmly. Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the recess 201 is greater than 1/2 of the bottom area of the container 200, But should be smaller than the bottom area of this containing container 200, just can reach above-mentioned effect.

此外，於本發明之主要實施例中，更可包含一固持機構14與一第二驅動機構132，該固持機構14位於該軸線之側邊，用以固持該盛裝容器200，該第二驅動機構132連接至該承接台13，以驅動該承接台13沿該軸線升降移動，藉此，該承接台13可在壓實過程中同時上升，以加強壓實效果，另外，亦能在盛裝容器200離開壓實設備10時退開，以利於盛裝容器200移動至下一步驟。In addition, in the main embodiment of the present invention, a holding mechanism 14 and a second driving mechanism 132 may be included. The holding mechanism 14 is located on the side of the axis for holding the container 200. The second driving mechanism 132 is connected to the receiving platform 13 to drive the receiving platform 13 to move up and down along the axis, whereby the receiving platform 13 can rise simultaneously during the compaction process to enhance the compaction effect. Back off when leaving the compacting device 10, so as to facilitate the container 200 to move to the next step.

特別要說明的是，由於該盛裝容器為軟質而能夠變形，在離開該承接台後，該凹部仍可能因盛裝物之重力影響而往下消退，但消退之程度有限，相較於承接台不設凸塊時，經壓實後的盛裝容器底部過於平坦、甚至中央較為凸出的情形，仍能有效防止直立於輸送帶上時翻滾傾倒，確保自動化製造流程順利，提升生產效率。It should be noted that since the container is soft and deformable, after leaving the receiving platform, the concave part may still recede downward due to the influence of gravity of the contents, but the degree of fading is limited. When the bumps are installed, the bottom of the compacted container is too flat, or even the center is relatively protruding, which can still effectively prevent it from rolling and toppling when standing on the conveyor belt, ensuring a smooth automated manufacturing process and improving production efficiency.

承前述，於本發明之主要實施例中藉由凸塊抵頂至該盛裝容器200之底部之部分，使該盛裝容器200之底部形成一凹部201，唯改將凸塊底頂於成裝容器之底部全部，而藉由凸塊自身的凸弧面狀或其他形狀，使成裝容器之底部形成凹部，亦屬可行。In view of the foregoing, in the main embodiment of the present invention, a concave portion 201 is formed on the bottom of the container 200 by the protrusions abutting against the bottom of the container 200, but instead the bottom of the protrusions is placed on the finished container It is also feasible to make the bottom of the finished container form a concave part by means of the convex arc shape or other shapes of the convex block itself.

藉此，本發明提供之壓實設備、盛裝物之壓實方法與壓實盛裝物之包裝能夠有效避免壓實後之盛裝容器於輸送帶上翻滾傾倒，確保自動化製造的順暢，實為相關製造業者所企盼，惟以上實施例僅在於說明並闡述本發明的技術內容，本專利的專利範圍應以後述的申請專利範圍為準。Thereby, the compacting equipment, the compacting method of the contents and the packaging of the compacted contents provided by the present invention can effectively prevent the compacted containers from rolling and toppling on the conveyor belt, so as to ensure the smoothness of automatic manufacturing, which is really a good example for related manufacturing. What the industry expects, but the above embodiments are only to illustrate and explain the technical content of the present invention, and the patent scope of this patent shall prevail in the scope of the patent application described later.
