Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for moving a valve-sack from a filling position, and whereby gripping elements are gripping the valve-sack, where the valve of the sack is applied to a filling nozzle, to a closing position where the sack's valve can be sealed or permanently closed, and whereby the sack is withdrawn from the filling nozzle and supported during its movement.
  • the invention also relates to an apparatus for the execution of the method, and comprising a movable support element arranged for a filled valve-sack which can move the valve-sack from a filling position, where the valve of the sack is applied to a filling nozzle, to a closing position where the valve can be sealed or permanently closed, said apparatus comprising gripping elements mounted on control arms, and a filling nozzle for use in connection with the apparatus.
  • a method and an apparatus for filling and closing valve bags are known from GB publication 21 68 671.
  • the movable support element is built together with the filling nozzle.
  • the valve is held on the filling nozzle while at the same time the sack is tipped over into an inclined position, where the mouth of the valve points upwards at an angle. Thereafter, a further tipping of the sack takes place while the filling nozzle is held stationary until the valve is released from the nozzle.
  • US 2,613,022 discloses an apparatus in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 for moving of a valve-sack from a filling position comprising gripping elements initially forming a wedge-shaped instrument to be inserted into a valve of a valve-sack and subsequent spread, thereby engaging the inwardly facing sides of the valve and flattening and fixing the mouth of tha valve for the purpose of sealing the valve by a separate action.
  • the operation takes place on a sack that has been filled and which has been tilted away from the filling machine in order to be accessible for the gripping elements and for the sealing operation.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus whereby a positive control of the position of the valve can be effected between the filling position and the welding position, so that a greater reliability of the weldings is achieved.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is special in that it comprises two finger-shaped gripping elements which are mounted on control-arms, said control-arms being able to be moved in such a manner that the gripping elements can be placed opposite each other on each side of the filling nozzle opposite the valve opening, introduced into the opening, grip the wall of the valve and move away from each other, said filling nozzle being provided with ribs, and where the finger-shaped gripping elements are inserted in the space formed by the ribs between the nozzle and the wall of the valve.
  • the gripping elements are introduced into the valve from the open side while the sack sits on the filling nozzle.
  • the side walls of the valve are thus under control when the valve is withdrawn from the filling nozzle, possibly during the transfer of the sack itself.
  • the gripping elements are drawn away from each other and the originally cylindrical valve opening is hereby made flat. In this condition, it is possible to effect a very precise positioning of the closing elements, e.g. in the form of ultrasonic welding equipment or a glueing apparatus, in relation to the valve.
  • the filling nozzle according to the invention is provided with two pairs of ribs which lie opposite one another and which extend in the longitudinal direction of the nozzle.
  • the finger-shaped gripping elements can be inserted in the space which is formed by the ribs between the nozzle and the wall of the valve, and the insertion is therefore effected with greater certainty.
  • the filling station is configured as shown in the drawing.
  • a filling apparatus 1 with filling nozzle 2 is applied to valve-sack 3 by means of a commonly- known sack handling apparatus 4.
  • the apparatus 5 consists of a base-frame 6 which stands on the floor 7 and contains a not-shown drive and control unit.
  • a parallel-arm control arrangement is formed for a console 11 which is tipped around a horizontal axis by means of the arm 10 which comprises a compressed-air cylinder.
  • Both of the arms 8b and 9 are kinematically connected with gears inside the box 12, whereby they can move symmetrically around a vertical plane through the box 12.
  • a commonly-known ultrasonic welding apparatus 18 is secured to the frame 6 in a manner not shown.
  • the console 11 has a grid-shaped bottom 13 which can swing in under a valve-sack 3.
  • the console 11 also has two parallel aprons 14 which contain gripping elements or clamping jaws 15.
  • the clamping jaws are operated by compressed air and are mounted on the end of control arms 16, the configuration and suspension of which is shown in fig. 8.
  • three compressed-air cylinders 25, 26 and 27 are used in the manouevring of the arm 16, partly by swinging of a pivotable link 28.
  • the filling nozzle 2 is provided with two pairs of longitudinal ribs 19, which with regard to the use of nozzles of different sizes are secured to an annular sleeve 20. Between the ribs 19 there is room for the introduction of the clamping jaw fingers 21 between the wall 22 of the valve and the filling nozzle 2.
  • the console 11 is fed in towards the filled sack 3, which by the sack valve 23 hangs with its weight on the nozzle 2 until the aprons 14 are standing on each side of the sack 3 along the valve 17, see figs. 1 and 4a-b.
  • the bottom 13 is swung into the horizontal position, whereby the sack 3 is supported by the console 11.
  • the arms 16 with the clamping jaws 15 are fed towards each other and moved in behind the opening of the sack valve. Thereafter, the arms 16 are drawn back so that the fingers 21 of the clamping jaws engage with the wall 22 of the valve, see figs. 5a-b. The clamping jaws 15 are now activated so that the wall 22 of the valve is held.
