Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and the corresponding device for placing in bags, or "bagging" pieces of fruit, vegetables and the like, so that they can subsequently be sold.
  • the method and the device which are the object of the present invention provide substantial features of novelty and inventive activity, compared with those currently known for this function.
  • the net passes via the lower end of the support tube, and the pieces of fruit are introduced via the upper end, and are collected in their descent by gravity by means of the sealed base of the tubular net component, which is disposed above or below the sealing head, depending on the individual cases, or alternatively the net gathering aprons can temporarily stop the descent of the pieces of fruit before they reach the sealed base, such that the base of the net and the pieces of fruit have to pass via the sealing head in order to produce the bag, and the new sealed base of the net waits for a new load of fruit in order to start a new cycle, and for the fruit to enter the net.
  • the net passes via the upper end of the support tube for the net.
  • the pieces of fruit are also introduced via the same end, with the sealed base of the tubular net at a point close to the input of the fruit, such that the base of the net which holds the fruit descends together with the latter until both pass the sealing head; when the bag has been produced the new sealed base of the net is moved to the upper end of the tube via the interior of the latter, and is kept in this position to wait for a new load of fruit at a height which is close to the upper end, in order for the cycle to be repeated.
  • This type of filling device which is commonly used at present, has some substantial disadvantages, the first of which is that the discharge of the fruit from the upper part of the tube, so that it can be retained in the lower part of the net tube, gives rise to impact of the pieces of fruit which can be considerable, which is detrimental to the fruit, particularly for specific types of fruit or vegetables.
  • the tension which the weight of the pieces of fruit imposes on the tubular component which surrounds the latter from the time of filling until the step of closing and cutting for separation of the bag is completed is transmitted into tensions of the walls of the bag on the pieces of fruit, which again has a detrimental effect on the latter.
  • the device and method which are the subject of the present invention are designed specifically to solve the above-described disadvantages, on the basis of a method according to which, inside the tube which guides the tubular net component, the tubular net component is subjected to clamping and lateral retention, immediately after the pieces of fruit have been received inside the upper part of the guide tube, and guided and supported descending longitudinal displacement then takes place of each of the bags which have just been filled, until each bag emerges on the exterior of the rigid outer tube, and is sealed by double welding or double clamping, and cutting takes place between the two welds or clamps in order to separate the bag.
  • This method thus avoids the impact of the pieces of fruit discharged into the upper part of the tube, until they reach the lower part of the latter, since the path of the pieces of fruit can be very short if the present invention is applied, and in addition, since descending guiding of the supported bags is carried out, i.e. the bags are in suspension, lateral forces of the walls of the bag on the pieces of fruit are avoided, and additionally bottlenecks and delaying of the fruit are avoided, and since less time is wasted, production increases.
  • the device which is designed to implement the present method is characterised basically in that it comprises a rigid tubular component to guide the tubular net component on its interior, which is provided at a specific point of its height, preferably in an area which is close to its upper edge, with a longitudinal groove according to a generatrix of the tubular component, a transverse clamp being provided, preferably in the form of a flexible loop at the height of the start of this groove, which is secured to the walls of the rigid tubular component in a position of rest, and this loop closes transversely the walls of the tubular net component when the required quantity of fruit has been deposited in the interior of the latter.
  • the tubular net component is secured to the side of the rigid tubular body in the area which corresponds to the groove, and a helical screw is provided, preferably in the form of a strong helical spring, in a tubular duct adjacent to this groove, on the exterior of, or in the wall itself of the rigid guide tube, which helical screw or spring can rotate on its own axis, and can engage the neck or contraction formed by the transverse gripper in the tubular net component, such that when the helical spring is rotated, the bag, which is already closed but not yet sealed, is entrained towards the lower part of the rigid tubular body, suspended by the helical screw or spring, such that guided conveyance, in suspension, can take place of the bags which have just been formed.
  • a helical screw is provided, preferably in the form of a strong helical spring, in a tubular duct adjacent to this groove, on the exterior of, or in the wall itself of the rigid guide tube, which helical screw or spring can rotate on its own axis,
  • an important advantage of the present invention consists in the fact that its method can be implemented irrespective of the angle of inclination of the tube which guides the bags, since the displacement of the latter is not necessarily dependent on the action of gravity, but on the existence of the system's own mechanical means which give rise to conveyance of the filled bags, and if required the guide tube for the latter can be disposed with its axis horizontally.
  • the device which is the subject of the present invention comprises a rigid tubular component 1, which is designed to receive via its upper end the tubular net component 2, from which the various bags are produced when the interior of the tube receives the weighed loads of pieces of fruit or vegetables 3, as shown in figure 2.
  • the rigid tubular component 1 has a longitudinal slot 4, such that in a position which is close to the start of this groove, the device has a noose or loop 5 which surrounds the net component 2 above the pieces of fruit 3, which by means of transverse action can clamp the net tube, as shown in figures 3 and 4, such that the noose or loop 5, which in a first position simply surrounds the net tube 2, reaches a final position of contraction indicated by the final position 6 of this noose or loop, in which the tubular net component 2 has been clamped transversely, forming a neck or area of contraction 7.
  • the contraction 7 is engaged by a strong helical spring 8 which is accommodated inside a tubular guide 9 adjacent to the rigid tube 1, on the exterior of the latter, and opens onto the groove 4.
  • the spring 8 can be rotated around its own axis, by means shown schematically and conventionally in the form of a system of drive wheels 10 and 11 and an arm 12, which is integral with the lower end of the spring 8.
  • the upper coil 13 of the spring 8 clasps the contraction 7, as shown in figure 3, such that starting from this moment and for the remainder of its descending path, the bag is guided in its descending path, and at the same time is supported by the coils of the spring 8, which can have the necessary strength.
  • FIG. 6 shows the bags 14 and 15 moving downwards suspended from the coils of the helical spring 8.
  • FIG. 6 shows a bag recently formed 16 at the moment of welding or clamping and cutting, which processes are carried out by devices shown schematically in the form of the welding components 17 and cutting blades 18.
  • the following bag 19 then will go into the aforementioned completion position.
  • the transverse clamping of the tubular net component by means of the noose or loop 5 can be carried out by any appropriate means, there being shown by way of example the arrangement of both tubular guide components 20 and 21, which are also adjacent to the rigid tubular component 1, for guiding the ends, indicated as 22 in figure 3, of the noose or loop, recovery springs 23 preferably being provided in the interior of these tubular guide components, such that after positive activation of the ends of the noose or loop, recovery of the position takes place automatically by means of the action of the springs 23 and the elasticity of the material itself of this noose or loop 22, which for this purpose can consist of a steel cable, or a thread component consisting of a suitable synthetic material, such as a natural or synthetic elastomer etc.
  • this noose or loop can be carried out by any type of clamp, which, by clasping transversely the net tube, can secure the latter to the inner lateral wall of the rigid tube in the initial area of the vertical groove.
  • suspension and longitudinal guiding of the various bags which are produced during the process can be carried out by any type of device which can retain and support the bags formed by transverse clamping of the latter, and can provide descending guiding of the bags throughout the tubular component.
