Abstract
A packaging foil is continuously withdrawn from a supply. The foil is folded around the products to be packaged. Cut-off lengths of closing profile sections are inserted with a feed unit between the two longitudinal edges of the foil. In a sealing station, the two longitudinal edges of the foil are sealed together and the foil is then sealed onto the closing profile sections. In another sealing station, transverse sealing seams are formed between the free ends of successive closing profile sections and the tube is cut approximately in the center of the transverse seams. A high packaging output is achieved as a result of the continuous withdrawal of the foil.
Description
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING BAGS WITH THREE SEALED
EDGES AND WELDED-IN CLOSING SEAL
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a method and a device for producing bags with three sealed edges and a welded-in closing profile. For example, European Patent Document No.
B 667 288 discloses that a packaging foil is withdrawn gradually from a supply and is wound around a collar to form a cylindrical, downward moving tube. In the area adjacent to the two overlapping longitudinal edges of the foil, closing profile sections are supplied and inserted between the foil edges and are sealed to the foil with sealing jaws that are moved in time against the foils. The product to be packaged is filled in incrementally from the top and through the collar. The package formed in this way is then sealed with a transverse sealing seam by using sealing jaws that move in time, after which the package is separated. In the next step, the package is advanced and the following tube segment is filled. The closing profile sections are nearly as long as the inside distance between the transverse sealing seams. A similar device of this type, which also has a timed operation, is described in International Patent Application Publication No. WO

Figure 1 is a side view of a device according to the invention.
Figure 2 is a top view of the device shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment according to the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The device shown in Figures 1 and 2 contains a first supply reel for a thermoplastic packaging foil 11 or a compound foil, as well as a second supply 12 for a closing profile section 13 (e.g., a zipper section). The foil 11
4 is folded in a folding station 14 in the known way over a folding edge and around the products 15, which are also supplied in the known way at regular intervals, so that a flat, horizontal tube 16 is formed. The folding station 14 is illustrated in a considerably shortened scale in Figures 1 and 2, as seen in transporting direction A of tube 16.
Alternatively, the supply 10 can already contain a folded tube. The tube 16 is withdrawn continuously from the supply 10 with the aid of a first feed unit 17. The unit 17 consists of two driving roller pairs 18, 19 or 20, 21.
Each roller 18-21 consists of two coaxial individual rollers 18a, 18b, 20a, 20b that are mounted on the same shaft 25, 26. At least one of the rollers 18, 20 of each pair is driven by a servomotor 27, 28. The individual rollers 18a, 20a, grip the foil along its free edges 29.
The individual rollers 18b, 20b are provided with a circumferential groove corresponding to half the cross-sectional profile of the closing profile section 13. The motors 27, 28 are connected to sensors 31 for sensing the angle of rotation. A single motor 27 that synchronously drives both roller pairs 18, 19, 20 and 21 can alternatively be provided for the feed unit 17. The motors 27, 28 and the angle of rotation sensors :31 are connected to a control device 32.

Each roller 18-21 consists of two coaxial individual rollers 18a, 18b, 20a, 20b that are mounted on the same shaft 25, 26. At least one of the rollers 18, 20 of each pair is driven by a servomotor 27, 28. The individual rollers 18a, 20a, grip the foil along its free edges 29.
The individual rollers 18b, 20b are provided with a circumferential groove corresponding to half the cross-sectional profile of the closing profile section 13. The motors 27, 28 are connected to sensors 31 for sensing the angle of rotation. A single motor 27 that synchronously drives both roller pairs 18, 19, 20 and 21 can alternatively be provided for the feed unit 17. The motors 27, 28 and the angle of rotation sensors :31 are connected to a control device 32.
5 The closing profile section 13 is withdrawn from the supply 12 with the aid of a second feed unit 37. The unit 37 comprises a driving roller pair 38 that is driven by a servomotor 39 with angle of rotation sensor 40, both of which are also connected to the control device 32. The rollers 38 are provided with a circumferential groove 41 that matches the groove 30. A separating device 42 for cutting the closing profile section 13 into closing profile sections 43 is arranged downstream of the rollers 38. The device 42 consists of a rotating blade 44 that is operated by another servomotor 45 with angle of rotation sensor 46.
These are also connected to the device 32. The blade 44 operates jointly with a rotating or stationary counter part.
The closing profile sections 43 are supplied by the unit 37 and are inserted between the two foils, at a distance to but adjacent to the edges 29. Two longitudinal sealing stations 50, 51 are arranged between the two roller pairs 18, 19 or 20, 21, which serve to form a longitudinal sealing seam 49 and to seal the foil 11 on both sides onto the closing profile sections 43. The stations 50, 51 consist respectively of one pair of constantly at least nearly adjacent heated sealing jaws 52, 53, which can be coated with PTFE on the side facing the foil 11. The foil

The stations 50, 51 consist respectively of one pair of constantly at least nearly adjacent heated sealing jaws 52, 53, which can be coated with PTFE on the side facing the foil 11. The foil
6 11 is pulled continuously through the jaws 50, 51 by the roller pair 20, 21. The rollers 20, 21 can be cooled and thus ensure a quick cooling down of the sealing seams.
A transverse sealing station 56 is arranged downstream of the roller pair 20, 21. It consists of two transverse sealing jaws 58, 59 that circulate on oval tracks 57. A
separating device consisting of a blade 60 and counter part 61 can be integrated into the jaws 58 and 59. The type of guide used for the jaws 58, 59 is known from prior art.
The blade separates the tube 16 into individual bags 66.
One of the rollers 18, 19 can also be provided with a sensor 62, which is also connected to the control device 32. The sensor 62 can, for example, be a force sensor or a distance sensor. If the leading end 63 of a closing profile section 43 is gripped between the rollers 18b, 19b, these are pushed apart slightly to generate the necessary contact pressure of the foil onto the closing profile section 43. The increased contact pressure or the displacement it causes is detected with the aid of sensor 62.
The above-described device operates as follows: The foil 11 is withdrawn continuously from the unit 17. The unit 37 also transports the closing profile section 13 at a continuous speed. Once the sensor 62 responds, its signal

The increased contact pressure or the displacement it causes is detected with the aid of sensor 62.
The above-described device operates as follows: The foil 11 is withdrawn continuously from the unit 17. The unit 37 also transports the closing profile section 13 at a continuous speed. Once the sensor 62 responds, its signal
7 triggers a rotation of blade 44 by 360 by way of the device 32 and delayed by an adjustable angle of rotation that is measured with the angle of rotation sensor 31. The rotational speed of the cutting edge in this case corresponds to the advancing speed of closing profile section 13, which is synchronized with the withdrawal speed of foil 16. As soon as the separating cut is carried out, the device 32 slows down the motor 39 briefly and then accelerates it again to the synchronous speed. A distance x is formed in this way between the leading end 63 of closing profile section 43 and the trailing end 64 of the preceding closing profile section 43. This distance x corresponds to or is slightly larger than the width b of transverse sealing jaws 61. The transverse sealing seams 65 are formed only in this gap between two successive closing profile sections 43, thereby resulting in a satisfactory seal and excellent tightness. A high packaging output is achieved due to the continuous withdrawal rate.
As an alternative to triggering the blade 44 with the aid of sensor 62, the command for triggering the separating movement of blade 44 can also be derived exclusively from the angle of rotation of the roller pair 18, 19, which is measured with the sensor 31. An exact positioning of the
As an alternative to triggering the blade 44 with the aid of sensor 62, the command for triggering the separating movement of blade 44 can also be derived exclusively from the angle of rotation of the roller pair 18, 19, which is measured with the sensor 31. An exact positioning of the
8 closing profile sections 43 between the transverse seams 65 is achieved with the above-described type of control. The device 37 can also be used for retrofitting existing horizontal packaging machines for tube-shaped bags and is particularly suitable for packaging machines of this type.
Figure 3 shows a detail of a modified version of the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2. In Figures 1 and 2, the rollers 38 and the supply 12 are arranged in the vertical center plane through the sealing jaws 53. In contrast, the vertical plane through the rollers 38, the blade 44 and the supply for the variant according to Figure 3 is arranged at an acute angle to this center plane. The cut-off closing profile sections 43 are supplied via a bent guide rail 70 to the rollers 18b, 19b. This variant can have advantages for supplying and inserting the products 15 between the folded foil 11.
It will be understood that the above description of the present invention is susceptible to various modifications, changes and adaptations, arid the same are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the appended claims.
