Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for filling a flexible container in an embodiment according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Flexible containers of the type mentioned above are generally known and serve in particular for the transport and storage of bulk goods such. powdery chemicals but also foods such as spices and liquids. These are stored folded in the unfilled state and must be unfolded manually for a designated filling usually.
  • the container opening is usually arranged in a container neck which is to be manually connected to a Befiiirohr for a filling. In this case care must be taken by the operator for a secure bond between container opening stub and filling tube of the filling device. This is contrary to an automation of a filling process.
  • the device for filling of flexible containers of the type mentioned is characterized in that the device has a Vakkumvoriques, can be acted upon by the container wall portions adjacent to the container neck with a negative pressure.
  • This is a device for Made available, which is highly suitable to automatically fill the flexible container in which dipping a filling tube of the device in the container neck and can automatically bring the container neck in a raised or erected filling position.
  • the container is preferably equipped with an inwardly curved conical container neck. Due to the conicity and the otherwise circular cross section of the container neck, a filling tube is to be securely positioned within this container neck of the flexible container. By appropriate spreading arms or preferably by a provided on the filling tube Blähmanschette the container neck can be elastically expanded and pulled through the filling tube to the outside and thereby slipped. Due to the conical shape of the container neck, the filling tube expanded due to the blowing collar can easily be guided through the container opening of the container neck. In the inverted outward position of the flexible container can be filled, for example, hanging on his loops. Incidentally, during this hanging storage, a weighing may also be performed. ⁇
  • the carrying loops are provided on two opposite side walls of the container body into which, for example, arms of a robot device can dip.
  • the two-sided support loops can be centrally recorded by robotic gripper and held in position, for example, a spreading mechanism during the filling. Due to the expansion of the filling tube, for example via a Blähmanschette filling can be done sealed.
  • the area surrounding the container neck equipped with a vacuum suction surface suitable.
  • This may be, for example, a double-sided coated fabric with an increased coating coverage.
  • a coating application amount of 40 to 50 g / m 2 over the conventional coating amount of 25 g / m 2 may be provided.
  • a special calander Arthur tissue equipment (CURF) may be provided. It has proven to be expedient here to provide a mean roughness value which is between 0.025 ⁇ and 12.5 ⁇ , so that, for example, via suitable vacuum nozzles, which are provided, for example, on a single-arm robot, by means of negative pressure, a collapsed FIBC from a supply pallet and is to be erected.
  • the flexible container is filled upright.
  • a filling tube can be introduced into the container neck, which in turn, for example, transfers the container neck, via a blowing sleeve, into a filling position pulled outwards or turned upwards. Due to the conical shape of the container neck, in turn, the filling tube expanded on the basis of the blowing collar can be guided through the container opening of the container lid. In the outwardly inverted position, the container can be supplied with air, so that it can be filledsehend. A weighing can be done by means of a floor scale.
  • a device that can be used for automatic filling of the container described above can be designed so that a translationally movable filling tube is provided, which can dive into the corresponding container neck.
  • the control of this filling tube may e.g. be carried out by electric motor drives or by hydraulic or pneumatic actuators, with appropriate control devices can control these operations and display.
  • This device may have spreading arms, but also vacuum nozzles to suck the container neck so close to the filling tube that it can be lifted and filled.
  • a Blähmanschette is arranged on this filling tube, which can be filled after appropriate activation with compressed air, after which the container neck of the flexible container is expanded in areas.
  • the Blähmanschette represents a kind of spreading or clamping ring to which the container neck material is very tight and thus dust-tight. Due to the conical design, the filling tube can be moved by a translational movement of the container.
  • this device may simultaneously comprise arms, e.g. on a robotic robot to engage in carrying loops on the container, so that the container can be filled hanging. In this case, measuring cells can also be provided for weighing the container.
  • a flexible bulk material container FIBC is shown.
  • This has a container body 2 with side walls 3, a container interior 4, a lid 5 and a bottom portion 6, in which an outlet 7 is inserted.
  • support loops 8 are provided.
  • a large carrying loop 9 is provided on two side walls, can engage in the gripping arms of a robot for hanging filling of the container 1.
  • a container neck 10 is arranged in the central region of the lid 5.
  • Fig. 1 illustrated initial position of the container after its deployment of, for example, a supply pallet, the container neck 10 in the container interior 4.
  • This container neck 10 is frusto-conical shaped and thus has a tapered down area with otherwise each circular cross-section. At 11, the opening of the container neck 10 is located.
  • the material of the container neck 10 is chosen so that the container neck 10 is at least partially elastically expandable or even that this material is so elastic that it can be sucked via suction nozzles to a filling tube 17, in such a way that this very close adheres to the filling tube 17.
  • the elastically expandable material has to ensure that it rests precisely on, for example, a blowing collar 18, a ring, a spreading arm and the like in such a way that it is approximately close to the filling tube, at least in this area surrounds and rests with such a spreading or holding force on the filling tube 17, that the filling tube 17, the container neck 10 from its initial position in the in Fig. 2 shown filling position can be transferred.
  • Fig. 2 again, the flexible container 1 is shown, wherein the container neck 10 has now been transferred through the filling tube 17 in its filling position.
  • the filling tube 17 is first immersed with the inflation sleeve 18 in the filling nozzle 10, in its initial position according to Fig. 1 , The Blähmanschette 18 has been acted upon with compressed air.
  • a wall area of the Container socket 10 elastically expanded and placed very close to the Blähmanschette 18. This is the area that is also in Fig. 2 the Blähmanschette 18 still surrounds.
  • the filling tube 17 is therefore relatively deep in the container neck 10 in its initial position according to Fig.
  • Fig. 2 are the carrying loops 9 on two side walls of the container 1, which can carry the container 1 in this filling, by there, for example, two arms of a robot intervened and raised the container 1. During this phase, an automatic weighing of the container 1 or its filled content can also take place.
  • welding jaws 15 may be provided to close the container neck, as shown in more detail in Fig. 3 is illustrated. In Fig. 2 the welding jaws 15 are still in their initial position, whereas they are in Fig. 3 were moved toward each other with a subsequent heating to weld the container neck 10.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the corresponding filling process.
  • the robot arm 9 is introduced and the flexible container 1 is set up. Thereafter, the container 1 is held over the arms 16.
  • the corresponding filling tube is shown.
  • the welding device is lowered and the filling tube 17 is pulled out of the container neck 10 after the corresponding filling. Thereafter, the welding device is effective and the container neck 10 can be closed.
