The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of the first claim.
Such devices are already known and are described, for example, in Japanese Utility Model No. 56 (81) -54 552, which was disclosed under No. 57 (82) -167 815. This embodiment is explained in more detail in the present description with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.
The existing version has the disadvantage that the closure is often too weak. Furthermore, the previous design does not allow complete cooling and the welding device cannot use a variety of different sheet materials.
Finally, the problems associated with the use of foils of different thicknesses are due to the fact that the welding device is practically only designed for a limited thickness range.
The object of the invention is therefore to provide a cross-closure device which does not have the disadvantages of existing designs, and in particular ensures a sufficiently firm and tight closure, even with different film materials.
According to the invention, this object is achieved by means of the features in the characterizing part of the first claim.
In the embodiment according to the present embodiment, the transverse part to be closed is pressed together and welded by heat. This part is then pressed together and cooled and then cut in the compressed state, the pressure exerted by means of a rod mechanism being not limited. This creates a very strong seal, regardless of the film used.
The cutting of the closure after the product is packaged in a tubular film and the latter is closed, 5 enables a welding process under high pressure by means of the compression and welding device. A strong compression and cooling as well as compression and cutting by means of the corresponding device can be applied to different film materials. When the closed part is cooled, an almost unlimited high pressure force and a forced cooling are used, which further reinforces the closure. A practically perfect closure of the cut zone is achieved.
Exemplary embodiments of the device according to the invention (FIGS. 1 to 3) and a conventional embodiment (FIGS. 4 to 6) are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
Figure 1 is a partial section through an embodiment according to the invention.
FIG. 2 shows a first plan view of the embodiment according to FIG. 1;
3 shows a second top view of the embodiment according to FIG. 1;
Fig. 4 is a side view of a conventional device;
5 shows four different side views (a to d) to explain the mode of operation of the embodiment according to FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 shows a side view of the cutting device of the embodiment according to FIG. 4.
The embodiment according to the invention described below, with the exception of the welding device 14 and the cutting device 15, is practically the conventional variant, which will be explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 4.
1 shows a section through a cross closure device 1 according to the invention, with a compression welding device 2 in its upper position and a compression cooling and cutting device 3 immediately below. The parts of the devices 2 and 3 are individually movable relative to the other part, as indicated by the arrows A and B. The welding device 2 is equipped with a heating means 2a, for example a heating device made of chrome-nickel-40 wire. The cutting device 3 is equipped with depressions 3b, 3b 'which have openings on opposite surfaces 3a. In one recess 3b there is a blade 3c which protrudes from the opening and can penetrate the other recess 3b '. If necessary, corrugations P, P 'can be provided on the opposite surfaces of the welding device 2 and the cutting device 3. The corrugations serve to promote the heating and cooling of the plastic film compressed between these devices. The cutting device 3 is provided with a coolant 3d, for example a water circuit.
The welding device 2 is mounted on upper supports 4 and the cutting device 3 on lower supports 5.
2 and 3, the two devices 2 and 3 55 are shown, but both are the same. Therefore, only the welding device 2 is described below, which is mounted on the upper supports 4 by means of connecting parts 4a. Two separate cranks 6 are arranged in fixed positions adjacent to the upper beams. A first link 6a is attached to each crank 6 at its 6o circumference and, at the end of this link, a second link 6b and a third link 6c opposite the crank 6. The end 6c 'of every third link 6c, opposite the connection to the first link 6a, is rotatably connected to each upper support 4 by a connecting part 4b.
For gripping and welding a product in a tubular film by means of the devices already mentioned, the welding device in the present invention
device 2 and the cutting device 3 used instead of the two devices 14 and 15, which are explained in connection with Fig. 5 (a, b, c, d) in more detail.
When the tubular sheet F (Fig. 2) reaches the position between the two welding devices 2, the cranks 6 rotate to move the first links 6a in the direction of the arrows D, so that the second 6b and the third links 6c have a right-angled position to each other. By this movement, the two parts of the welding device 2 hold the plastic film F and weld it through the upper carrier. After welding by the device 2, the tubular film F is moved downward and immediately held between the two parts of the cutting device 3, immediately below the welding device 2. The closed part of the film F is then cut in the compressed and cooled state.
The cranks 6 are used in the embodiment described above for actuating the first links 6a. However, it is also possible to use hydraulic or pneumatic pistons and cylinders instead. A device 7 is used to adjust the length and can, for example, include counter-rotating threads on the third 6c or the second links 6b. The pressure device of the crank 6, or the cylinder, as well as the three links 6a, 6b and 6ck, can increase the compression or compression force of the welding device 2 and the cutting device 3 almost without limitation.
4 shows a conventional embodiment of a device 10 with feed rollers 20 for the tubular film 11. Synchronously rotating pressure rollers 13 are located below the feed rollers 20, and a welding device 14 welds under the rollers 13. Below this device 14 there is a cutting device 15, which is arranged at a distance corresponding to the width of the closed part 16 below the welding device 14. The pressure rollers 13, the welding device 14 and the cutting device 15 are each provided with displacement devices 13a, 14a, 15a, for example reciprocating cylinders. A time relay, not shown, is used to operate the welding device 14 after the pressure rollers 13 have divided the contents of the film 11 and rotate during the closing process to move the film with a swing. Means, not shown, are also provided to drive the pressure rollers 13 intermittently, so that there is time to open the welding device 14 after welding, the welded part 16 being sent down by a distance which corresponds to its width, in order then to separate the part.
The conventional packaging and cutting will be explained in more detail with reference to Fig. 5 (a, b, c, d).
5a shows the cutting of the film after welding, the pressure rollers 13 for filling the film 11 with a batch or a liquid being opened to the bottom.
5b shows the compressed pressure rollers 13 for dividing a batch 12 in the film 11 onto sacks IIa of a suitable size. In this state, the welding device 14 and the cutting device 15 are in the open position.
5c shows a state in which the pressure rollers rotate in the closed state, the tubular film 11o falling down in a tightly compressed position. After passing through the welding device 14, the sack is stopped on its underside, and the tubular film is closed by means of this device.
5d shows the state in which the welding device 14 is opened after the welding process, the pressure rollers 13 rotating intermittently through an angle Wb in order to send the film 11 downwards by a distance Wa and then to stop. The cutting device 15 is then closed in order to cut the welding part 16 by 20.
In this conventional cutting device 15, which is shown on a larger scale in FIG. 6, there is a blade 15b on one side and a recess 15c on the other side. The welding part 16 of the film 11 is cut immediately after the welding by means of the blade 15b and the recess 15c. At the same time, the welding part 16 held between them is held by means of the device 15a.
In the conventional cutting device 15 described, the cutting process has already begun before the welding part 16 of the film 11 is stopped between the compressed, abutting surfaces 15P. However, the device 15 for cutting after compression has no cooling device, which is why the cooling of the welding part 16 is not necessarily complete. Therefore it can happen that the welded part is not strong enough.
Although it is possible to equip the cutting device 15 with a cooling device, compression, for example by means of a cylinder, is not sufficient, and even in the case of a comb device this device exerts constant pressure. Therefore, the cutter is unable to accommodate different pressure conditions due to the thickness and variation of the sheet materials 11. As a result, the welded part often has sufficient strength.
In the conventional embodiment of the cutting device 45, the cutting process is initiated in advance, so that the welding strength is not necessarily improved by compression. The method of cutting after compression does not allow complete cooling, and the compression device cannot accommodate a variety of different sheet materials.
