[0002]
[Prior art]
Container forming, filling and sealing machines have been used in the food packaging industry for decades to package items such as milk and distribute them to retail outlets such as grocery stores. Generally, these machines are fed with a heat-sealable plastic laminated cardboard sheet that is formed into a container, filled with a specific content and then sealed for distribution elsewhere. It will be. A milk carton with a gable at the top is a specific example of a container that is formed, filled and sealed with these machines.
[0003]
The contents of these containers were previously distributed by breaking open one side of the top of the carton to form a spout. However, once opened, the carton resealed tightly and could not prevent the contents from leaking or the gas from flowing in or out. To alleviate these problems, the packaging industry has developed a new container that integrates a device that can re-seal the contents. This has forced the packaging industry to completely redesign the container forming, filling, and sealing machine so that the appliance can be attached to the container, or to design the appliance attachment device as an element that can be added to the existing machine. .
[0004]
Most appliance attachment devices were designed to place the appliance in a pre-cut hole in the container at one station of the machine and attach the appliance to the container by ultrasound, heat, etc. at another station of the machine. One of the obvious disadvantages of such a two-station appliance mounting device is the space requirement for two additional stations in the existing narrow container forming, filling and sealing machine. Another important drawback of the two station appliance attachment device is that the appliance can be dislodged from the container while being transported from the insertion station to the attachment station. Yet another important disadvantage of the two station appliance mounting apparatus is the need to determine container transport for two additional stations. Although modern appliance attachment devices attempt to address these disadvantages, there is still a need for an appliance attachment device that eliminates all of the disadvantages associated with two-station appliance attachment devices.
[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is designed as an element of a machine that forms, fills and seals containers as an integral part of a new machine or as an additional element to an existing machine. However, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of the present invention other than those described above.
[0013]
The present invention, when used with a container forming, filling and sealing device, is preferably applied between the container partial forming stage in the container forming, filling and sealing apparatus and the container filling stage. The present invention is designed to minimize both time and space when used with container forming, filling and sealing devices. In order to achieve time and space minimization, the present invention provides for the device to move the device from the device distributor in a continuous manner indexed for container transport along the conveyor belt of the container forming, filling and sealing machine. The translation and longitudinal reciprocation of the anvil carrying to the container to be attached to the container is minimized.
[0014]
  In FIG.Reference device sideA front view is shown. Referring to FIG.OrthosisThe entire mounting device is indicated at 20. The mounting device 20 includes an anvil 22 capable of translational movement as well as reciprocation in the longitudinal direction.This exampleThe longitudinal reciprocating movement takes place along the longitudinal axis. The anvil 22 has appliance engagement means 24 protruding from one surface. The anvil 22 is attached to the first drive source 26 by a first lever 28 from above. The first drive source 26 moves the anvil 22 in the longitudinal direction from the first horizontal plane to the second horizontal plane. Translational movement of the anvil is accomplished by a second drive source 30 that is attached to the anvil 22 by a second lever 32. The anvil 22 can move along a horizontal plane from a forward position to a longitudinal trajectory position. The movement of the anvil 22 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2A to 2F.
[0015]
With continued reference to FIG. 1, the entire brace distributor is indicated at 34. The appliance distributor 34 includes a chute 36, and conveys the appliance 40 from an appliance feeding device 42 (not shown) to an appliance engagement point 44 located at one end of the chute 36 and positioned on the first horizontal plane. The appliance 40 located at the engagement point 44 is positioned to engage with the appliance engagement means 24.
[0016]
The entire ultrasonic sealing device is shown at 46. The ultrasonic sealing device 46 includes a sonotrode 48 and a converter 50. The means for sealing the appliance 40 to the container 52 may be an ultrasonic sealing device 46 or other sealing device such as a heat sealable laminate heater. The ultrasonic sealing device 46 can move linearly toward or away from the container 52 to which the appliance 40 is to be attached. The container 52 is conveyed by the conveyor belt 54 to a position below the appliance mounting device 20. The container 52 is assembled to some extent and has an open end 56 through which the anvil 22 passes. The container 52 has an incision 58 cut to provide a brace. The appliance 40 has a flanged end positioned against the inner wall of the container 52, while the spout protrudes through the cut 58. The ultrasonic sealing device 46 is horizontally aligned with the cut 58 in the container 52 such that the ultrasonic sealing device 46 temporarily engages the brace 40 when the appliance 40 is inserted through the cut 58 in the container 52. .
[0017]
FIG. 2A shows a side view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 at a first point in time. Referring to FIG. 2A, the anvil 22 is in the engaged position along the first horizontal plane. The appliance engaging means 24 is engaged with the appliance 40 at the engagement point 44. During this engagement phase, the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is in its rest position. The appliance engaging means 24 protrudes and couples with the cavity 45 formed by the spout of the appliance 40 and the cap. In this way, the appliance 40 is securely but temporarily attached to appliance engagement means 44 that allows the appliance 40 to be carried from the appliance distributor 34 to the container 52.
[0018]
  FIG. 2B shows a side view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 at a second point in time. Referring to FIG. 2B, the anvil 22 has been retracted from the engagement point 44 by translation along the first horizontal plane. The anvil 22 is also located in a longitudinal track so as to descend through the open end of the container 52.The
[0019]
With continued reference to FIG. 2B, the new appliance 40 assumes the position of the previous appliance 40 at the engagement point 44 of the appliance distributor 34. Thereafter, the brace 40 moves in an orderly manner by gravity at the chute 36 of the brace distributor 34. In this way, the subsequent appliance 40 is engaged with the appliance engaging means 24.
[0020]
  FIG. 2C shows a side view of the device shown in FIG. 1 at a third point in time. Referring to FIG. 2C, the first drive source 26 lowers the anvil 22 through the open end of the container 52 to a position parallel to the cut 58 along the second horizontal plane inside the container 52. . Anvil descends along a longitudinal trajectory without translationThe
[0021]
With continued reference to FIG. 2C, the longitudinal trajectory along which the anvil 22 descends from the first horizontal plane to the second horizontal plane causes the wall of the container 52 to prevent interference of the container 52 with the longitudinal movement of the anvil 22. Should be at a sufficient distance from The distance from the wall of the container 52 should also take into account the additional length of the appliance 40 attached to the appliance engagement means 24. Any uninhibited longitudinal movement of the anvil 22 ensures that the appliance 49 does not deviate from the appliance engagement means 24 until it is inserted into the cut 58.
[0022]
FIG. 2D shows a side view of the device shown in FIG. 1 at a fourth point in time. Referring to FIG. 2D, the anvil 22 has inserted the brace 40 into the cut 58 of the container 52 at the attachment point. Translational movement of the anvil 22 along the second horizontal plane towards the cut 58 is achieved by the second drive source 30. The anvil 22 moves forward until the flange of the appliance 40 rests firmly against the wall of the container 52 with the appliance spout and cap protruding through the cut 58. Once the brace 40 is in this position, the brace 40 is permanently attached to the container 52. The distance that the anvil 22 travels from the longitudinal trajectory to the attachment point along the second horizontal plane as shown in FIG. 2C is such that the anvil 22 travels along the first horizontal plane to the longitudinal trajectory as shown in FIG. 2B. It is approximately equal to the distance moving backward from the engagement point 44. Thus, the space for the appliance mounting device 20 is minimized by designing the anvil 22 to have approximately the same translational distance. This design can simplify the programming of the second drive source 30 in that only translational movement from the first position to the second position is required by the second drive source 30.
[0023]
With continued reference to FIG. 2D, the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is located along a second horizontal plane parallel to the appliance 40 that now protrudes from the container 52. The ultrasonic sealing device 46 is located a sufficient distance from the device 40 so that the appliance 40 protrudes from the container and the flange of the appliance 40 can abut against the wall of the container 52 firmly. If the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is too close to the appliance 40, the appliance 40 may be displaced before it is fully inserted into the cut 58.
[0024]
  FIG. 2E shows a side view of the device shown in FIG. 1 at a fifth point in time. Referring to FIG. 2E, the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is here firmly in contact with the outside of the wall of the container 52 and surrounds the spout and cap of the appliance 40. Specifically, the sonotrode 48 of the ultrasonic sealing device 46 surrounds the spout of the appliance 40 and the cap at the opening 60 (not shown). The ultrasonic sealing device 46 moves a minimum distance along the second horizontal plane from its rest position to the operating position shown in FIG. 2E. Movement of the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is achieved by a third drive source 62.The
[0025]
Once in its operating position, the ultrasonic sealing device 46 generates ultrasonic waves that vibrate at a predetermined time and frequency sufficient to weld the flange of the appliance 40 to the interior of the vessel 52 wall. The flange of the appliance 40 is supported by the anvil 22, but the anvil has sufficient inertia to allow the flange of the appliance 40 to be properly welded to the wall of the container 52. If the anvil 22 does not have sufficient inertia, the appliance 40 may not be completely welded to the container 52 or the cap may be welded to the spout of the appliance 40. Once the brace 40 is moderately welded to the container 52, the anvil 22 can be retracted from the attachment position to the longitudinal track along the second horizontal plane.
[0026]
In FIG. 2F, a side view of the device shown in FIG. 1 at a sixth point in time is shown. Referring to FIG. 2F, the anvil 22 has been retracted to the longitudinal track, thereby disengaging the appliance 40 now welded to the container 52 from the appliance engagement means 24. The anvil 22 is in a state of rising along the longitudinal trajectory from the second horizontal plane to the first horizontal plane. Once the anvil 22 is removed from the interior of the container 52, the container 52 is transported to another station in the container forming, filling and sealing machine. A subsequent container 52 is then positioned on the appliance mounting device 20.
[0027]
With continued reference to FIG. 2F, the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is retracted from the actuated position to the rest position along the second horizontal plane. Retraction of the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is achieved by the third drive source 62. The rest position of the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is at a sufficient distance from the welded appliance 40 to allow unimpeded transport to the next station of the forming, filling and sealing machine of the container 52. The anvil 22 then rises along the longitudinal track to the first horizontal plane shown in FIG. The above procedure is then repeated for the containers 52 that are carried along the conveyor belt 54 to the appliance mounting device 20.
[0028]
  FIG. 3 shows the present invention.ImplementationAn example side view is shown. Referring to FIG. 3, the appliance mounting apparatus 20 includes an anvil 22, an appliance distributor 34, an ultrasonic sealing device 46, a reciprocating arm 70, and drive sources 26, 30 and 76. As shown in FIG.referenceSimilar to the example, the mounting device 20 is located above the conveyor belt 54 of the container forming, filling and sealing machine. The container 52 has been assembled to some extent, and appropriate cuts for the appliance 40 have been cut at a station prior to the container forming, filling and sealing machine.
[0029]
The anvil 22 is connected to the arm 70 so that it can move with the reciprocating arm 70 acting as a guide. The anvil 22 can translate and reciprocate in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the longitudinal reciprocation of the anvil includes raising and lowering along a longitudinal arc indicated at 78. The reciprocating arm 70 is connected to a compression spring and a second drive source 30 that may be a cam block connected to a cylinder. The second drive source 30 enables translation of the anvil 22. The reciprocating arm 70 is hinged to the first drive source 26 that allows the arm 70 to reciprocate. The first drive source 26 may be an air cylinder that controls the movement of the reciprocating arm 70 by extending or retracting its piston. The upward movement of the reciprocating arm 70 is limited by a first block 72 provided at an angle of about 30 ° with respect to the conveyor belt 54, and the downward movement of the arm 70 is a second substantially parallel to the conveyor belt 54. Limited by block 74. The limit of the upward movement of the reciprocating arm 70 defines a first level at which the translation of the anvil 22 takes place, and the limit of the downward movement of the reciprocating arm 70 is a second level at which the translation of the anvil 22 occurs in this embodiment. Define the levels. In addition, the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating arm 70 provides the upward and downward motion of the anvil 22.
[0030]
Anvil 22 has appliance engagement means 24 that engages appliance 40 from appliance distributor 34. The appliance distributor 34 has a chute. The chute conveys the appliance 40 from an appliance feed device 42 (not shown) at one end to an appliance engagement point 44 at the other end. The appliance distributor 34 is generally perpendicular to the reciprocating arm 70 when the reciprocating arm 70 is at the limit of upward movement along the longitudinal arc 78.
[0031]
As mentioned above, the appliance mounting device 20 is located above the conveyor belt 54 that carries the containers 52 through various stations, including the mounting stations of the container forming, filling and sealing machine. The container 52 is positioned on the appliance mounting apparatus 20, and can be lowered into the container 52 without being blocked by the anvil 22 while the appliance 40 is engaged with the appliance engaging means 24.
[0032]
FIG. 4A shows a side view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3 at a first point in time. Referring to FIG. 4A, the anvil 22 is translated along a first level toward the appliance distributor 34, whereby the appliance engagement means 24 engages the appliance 40. The anvil 22 has moved a minimum distance from its previous position in FIG. This movement is accomplished by a second drive source 30 that advances the anvil 22 toward the appliance distributor 34. Once in the appliance distributor 34, the appliance engagement means 24 engages the appliance 40 at the engagement point 44. The appliance engaging means 24 may be a lobe protruding from one side of the anvil 22, and the lobe is sized to couple with the opening 60 of the appliance 40. The lobe engages with an appliance opening 80 (not shown) to ensure transport at the second level from the appliance distributor 34 of the appliance 40 to the cut 58 of the container 52.
[0033]
FIG. 4B shows a side view of the device shown in FIG. 3 at a second point in time. Referring to FIG. 4B, the anvil 22 is retracted from the engagement point 44 in translation along the first level. Anvil 22 is also located in arc 78 to descend through the open end of container 52. The feature of saving time and space of the present invention is evident from the minimum distance that the anvil 22 is retracted from the engagement point is only a few centimeters. Also, the risk of the appliance 40 being displaced before the appliance 40 is inserted through the cut 58 in the container 52 is greatly reduced by the design of the appliance attachment device 20 with the anvil 22 carrying the appliance 40 for a minimum distance.
[0034]
FIG. 4C shows a side view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3 at a third point in time. Referring to FIG. 4C, the first drive source 26 lowers the reciprocating arm so that the anvil 22 passes through the open end of the container 52 into the container 52 and into the interior of the container 52 along the second level 58. It is lowered to a position parallel to. The anvil 22 descends along the longitudinal arc 78 without any translation. As generally described above, the inventive feature of saving time and space is, in this case, in this case along the longitudinal arc 78 in contrast to the translational movement previously described in FIG. It is clear from the short distance that 22 moves. Also, as described above, the likelihood that the appliance 40 will be dislodged is greatly reduced as the appliance moves a minimal distance along the longitudinal arc 78.
[0035]
With continued reference to FIG. 4C, the longitudinal arc 78 along which the anvil 22 descends from the first level to the second level into the container 52 does not interfere with the longitudinal reciprocation of the anvil 22. As such, it is well away from the wall of the container 52. Further, the distance from the wall of the container 52 should be taken into account by adding the length of the appliance 40 attached to the appliance engaging means 24. The reciprocation of the anvil 22 in the longitudinal direction without obstruction ensures that the brace 40 does not disengage from the brace engagement means 24 until the brace 40 is inserted into the cut 58.
[0036]
The ultrasonic sealing device 46 is located along the second level parallel to the cut 58 of the container 52. The ultrasonic sealing device 46 is sufficiently far away from the cut 58 so that the brace 40 can protrude from the container 52 with the flange of the brace 40 firmly in contact with the wall of the container 52. If the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is too close to the brace 40, the brace 40 may slip before it has been inserted into the cut 58.
[0037]
With continued reference to FIG. 4C, a new appliance 40 takes the position of the previous appliance 40 at the engagement point 44 of the appliance distributor 34. Thereafter, the brace 40 descends orderly in the chute 36 of the brace distributor 34 due to gravity. Thus, the subsequent appliance 40 is engaged with the appliance engaging means 24.
[0038]
FIG. 4D shows a side view of the device shown in FIG. 3 at a fourth point in time. Referring to FIG. 4D, the anvil 22 has inserted the brace 40 into the cut 58 in the container 52 at the attachment point. Translational movement of the anvil 22 toward the cut 58 along the second level is achieved by the second drive source 30. The anvil 22 moves forward until the spout and cap of the appliance 40 protrude through the cut 58 and the flange of the appliance rests firmly against the wall of the container 52. Once the brace 40 is in this position, it is permanently attached to the container 52. The distance that the anvil 22 translates from the position of the longitudinal arc along the second level to the attachment point 58 as shown in FIG. 4C is the first level from the engagement point 44 as shown in FIG. 4A. Is approximately equal to the distance traveled back to the longitudinal arc as shown in FIG. 4B. Thus, the apparatus 20 is minimized by designing the movement distance of the anvil 22 to be approximately equal. This design also simplifies the programming of the second drive source 30 because the second drive source 30 is only required to translate from the first position to the second position.
[0039]
Still referring to FIG. 4D, an ultrasonic sealing device 46 is now firmly positioned against the outside of the wall of the container 52 and surrounds the spout and cap of the appliance 40. Specifically, the sonotrode 48 of the ultrasonic sealing device 46 surrounds the spout and cap of the appliance 40 with an opening 60 (not shown). The ultrasonic sealing device 46 moves a minimum distance along the second level from its rest position to its activated position, as shown in FIG. 4D. Translational movement of the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is achieved by a third driving source (not shown). As with the anvil 22, the feature of the present invention that saves time and space is evident from the minimum distance that the ultrasonic sealing device 46 moves from the rest position to the operating position.
[0040]
Once in the activated position, the ultrasonic sealing device 46 generates ultrasonic waves that vibrate at a predetermined time and frequency sufficient to weld the flange of the appliance to the inside of the wall of the container 52. The flange of the brace 40 is supported by an anvil 22 having sufficient inertia to allow the flange to be welded reasonably to the wall of the container 52. If the anvil 22 does not have sufficient inertia, the appliance 40 may not be completely welded to the container 52 or the cap may be welded to the spout of the appliance 40. Once the appliance 40 has been properly welded to the container 52, the anvil 22 is retracted from the attachment point along the second level to the longitudinal arc.
[0041]
FIG. 4E shows a side view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3 at a fifth point in time. Referring to FIG. 4E, the anvil 22 is retracted to the longitudinal arc position, thereby releasing the appliance 40 welded to the container 52 from the appliance engagement means 24. The anvil 22 is now in a state of rising along the longitudinal arc from the second level to the first level. Once the anvil 22 is removed from the interior of the container 52, the container 52 is transported to another station in the container forming, filling and sealing machine. A subsequent container 52 is positioned on the container mounting device 20.
[0042]
With continued reference to FIG. 4E, the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is retracted from its rest position to its activated position along the second level. Retraction of the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is achieved by a third driving source 76 not shown. The rest position of the ultrasonic sealing device 46 is sufficiently distant from the newly welded appliance 40 so that the container 52 can be transported unimpeded to the next station of the container forming, filling and sealing machine. The anvil 22 is then raised along the longitudinal arc 78 to a first level by raising the reciprocating arm 70 as shown in FIG. These procedures are then repeated for each container 52 that is transported along the conveyor belt 54 to the container mounting apparatus 20.
