Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transporting apparatus for bag filling machines.
  • the resultant final product is a filled and sealed bag which must be able to be handled with great ease during the subsequent transportation, storage and distribution operations.
  • Transportation of the bag from one station to another of the FFS machines is performed by means of special devices able to perform a rectilinear or oscillating movement and equipped with grippers for gripping the bag, which are opened and closed in sequence in order to grip the bag in one station and transport it, releasing it at the next station.
  • the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is that of providing a bag transportation apparatus for forming/filling/sealing machines, able to solve the problems of the prior art in order to increase the hourly production output of the machine without modifying its structure.
  • this device In connection with this problem it is also required that this device should have small dimensions, be easy and inexpensive to produce and assemble and be able to be easily installed also on ready existing machines and incorporated in production lines without the need for special adaptation.
  • a transportation apparatus for machines for filling bags with bulk material comprising at least one station for forming the bag, at least one station for filling the bag with the material, provided with fixed bag gripping means, at least one station for sealing the mouth of the bag and at least one apparatus for transporting the bags from one station to the other station in a feeding direction, comprising two pairs of the arms which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the direction of feeding of the bag and each carry respective pairs of means for gripping the sides of the bag, said pairs of arms being formed by levers which are kinematically connected together in a pantograph arrangement, the first pair of levers being able to travel along a curved trajectory from a point where the gripping means are situated at a maximum relative distance to a point where the same gripping means are situated at a minimum relative distance, along the outward and return path from one station to the other, the second pair of arms being able to travel along a curved trajectory from a point where the grippers are situated at a minimum relative
  • a non-limiting illustrative example of a machine for filling bags 1 with bulk material 2 may be of the forming/filling type which comprises essentially at least three working stations, i.e.:
  • Pairs of fixed grippers 112 which are suitably designed with dimensions for supporting the weight of a fully loaded bag and can be operated by means of respective actuators 112a are also provided in the filling station (Fig. 6).
  • an apparatus 500 (Fig. 2) comprising a first pair 510 of arms formed by levers 511 which are kinematically connected together in a pantograph arrangement and having a first end 511a hinged with the fixed structure 10 of the machine; the other end 511b of each lever is connected, by means of hinging pins, to a flange 513 (Fig. 6) supporting grippers 514 for gripping the side edge 1c of the bag, which can be operated so as to open/close by means of corresponding actuators 514a.
  • Said first pair of arms 510 also comprises devices 600 for gripping and opening the walls 1d of the bag 1 (Figs. 2-3) essentially comprising suckers 601 connected to pantograph arms 602 hinged on an associated vertical shaft 603 joined to the respective gripper 514 attached to the arms 511, said suckers also being connected to means (not shown) for forming a vacuum able to ensure gripping of the walls 1d of the bag (Fig. 4).
  • the transportation apparatus also comprises a second pair of arms 1510 identical to the first pair, but without the said devices 600 for gripping and opening the walls 1d of the bag.
  • Said second pair has levers 1511 in turn hinged with the fixed structure 10 of the machine in a position downstream of the first pair 510 in the direction of feeding of the bag and is independent of the first pair with which it is synchronized during programming of the machine cycle.
  • the transportation apparatus based on the combination of the independent action of the pairs of arms 510 and 1510 which transport the bag and the arms 602 which carry the suckers 601 for opening the mouth 1a of the said bag, allow the mouth of the bag to be opened during its travel from the forming station F to the filling station R, without the need to wait for gripping by the fixed grippers 112 arranged in the latter.
