Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bag binding machine for binding a resin bag for packing foods by means of a binding piece made of a resin, and more particularly to a bag binding machine in which holding force of the binding piece is enhanced.
  • the present applicant has proposed a bag binding machine (Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication Hei. 10-11438) for automatically fastening a binding piece formed of a resin plate to a binding portion of a bag in order to rapidly and reliably bind an opening of the bag made of a resin which accommodates goods such as fruits and vegetables or bread.
  • the bag binding machine has such a structure that one cycle from the feeding operation of the binding piece to the fastening operation thereof is automatically carried out.
  • the binding portion of the bag is inserted into a guide groove for inserting the bag, which is formed from one of side surfaces of a frame to a central part thereof, the binding piece formed of a portal resin sheet is externally fitted in the binding portion of the bag through a feeding mechanism. Consequently, both leg portions of the binding piece are crossed each other and are press-bonded (fixed by pressure) through a binding piece press-bonding device (pressure fixing device).
  • the binding piece press-bonding device (which will be hereinafter referred to as a press-bonding device) has such a structure that three plates, that is, a release plate, a die plate and a press plate are overlapped on a base plate and are opened or closed by means of a cam mechanism.
  • An upward punch is provided on the base plate and a hole corresponding to the punch is formed on the die plate.
  • the die plate and the base plate interpose the right and left leg portions of the binding piece which are overlapped by a feeding device.
  • a dowel is drawn through the punch and the hole to couple the leg portions.
  • the upper press plate descends to crimp the dowel through a crimping pin.
  • each plate is opened and the release plate pushes up the binding piece to be removed from the punch.
  • a press fixing operation for one cycle is completed.
  • the bag binding machine couples both leg portions of the binding piece through the dowel formation and the dowel crimping. If oil, water or dust sticks to the surface of the binding piece made of a resin plate, the coupling force of a dowel portion is deteriorated due to a reduction in frictional force. Therefore, when external force is applied, both leg potions might be loosened. In this point of view, there are technical problems to be solved for enhancing the coupling force of the binding piece to prevent unexpected drop-out, and the invention has an object to solve the problems.
  • the invention provides a bag binding machine for externally fitting a binding piece to be a portal plate made of a synthetic resin in a binding portion of a bag, pressing and crossing both leg portions of the binding piece in a closing direction, and forming a dowel in a crossing portion of the leg portions by means of a punch and a die, thereby press-bonding the binding piece,
  • a welding machine such as an ultrasonic type oscillator or a heating wire type heater is provided above a punch mechanism portion through an elevating mechanism and is caused to abut on the dowel formed by means of the punch and the die, thereby welding the dowel portion.
  • FIG. 1 shows a bag binding machine 1.

  • a table portion 3 protruded leftward from the binding piece magazine portion 2 is provided with a planar L-shaped guide groove 4 which advances from an intermediate portion of the right and left on a front face to an inner part and is then deflected leftward.
  • a feeding device 5 of the binding piece is provided in the right part of the guide groove 4 and a press-bonding device 6 is provided in the left part of the guide groove 4.
  • a cutter device 7 is provided behind the press-bonding device 6.
  • an arm portion 7a rotatable in a horizontal direction which is pivotally attached to the upper surface of the table portion 3 is rotated toward this side (frontward in Fig. 1) and the guide groove 7b in the front portion of the arm portion 7a is caused to correspond to the guide groove 4 of the table portion 3, a cutter blade (not shown) slidable in a forward and backward directions in the arm portion 7a interlockingly with a binding operation cuts the excessive portion of the upper end of the bound bag.
  • the feeding device 5, the press-bonding device 6 and the cutter device 7 are driven by means of one motor (not shown) through a reduction gear mechanism, a cam and a link mechanism.
  • a trigger lever 8 is pivotally attached to the left side of the guide groove 4. The tip portion of the trigger lever 8 is extended rightward across the guide groove 4.
  • a binding piece 9 is a resin plate formed to have an almost portal shape, and an inner gear shaped drop-out preventing click portion 11 is formed in the base portion on the inside of left and right leg portions 10. Both leg portions 10 are provided with a hole 12 for engaging a pin of an arm of a feeding device 5 which will be described below. A groove 13 to be deflected forward from an outer side surface to the inside is formed in the tip part of the leg portion. Thus, a hook portion 14 is formed.

  • the shifter 31 gets into a retreating step.
  • the rear shifter shaft 33 gets on the rear slant face 29c of the die plate 29 and the angular slant face 28b of the release plate 28 to lift the front portions of the three plates 28, 29 and 30.
  • the front portion of the release plate 28 is lifted more greatly than the punch 27a of the base plate 27, thereby removing the leg portion of the binding piece 9 from the punch 27a.
  • Fig. 7 shows a state in which the binding piece 9 is fastened to a bag B.
  • the feeding device 5 gets into a returning step after a welding step in Fig. 5 (b), in which when the carrier 16 retreats by a constant distance, the guide feed pawl of the binding piece guide 17 is engaged with the carrier 16. Consequently, the binding piece guide 17 retreats integrally with the carrier.
  • the motor is stopped through the detection of the disk 2 and the photo-interrupter 26.
  • the right and left legs of the binding piece are crossed and press-bonded (fixed by pressure) through dowel formation, and the dowel portion is then heated and welded by means of the heater. Therefore, even if moisture or oil sticks to the binding piece, the binding piece can be fastened firmly. Consequently, it is possible to eliminate the drawback that the binding piece is loosened by unexpected external force during transportation of articles such as packed vegetables or display thereof.
