  The stacking means 22 is configured so that a predetermined number of PTP sheets 1 sequentially conveyed can be stacked and delivered downstream. As shown in FIG. 6, the stacking means 22 of the present embodiment is entangled with a tying mechanism for tying two PTP sheets 1 in such a manner that the surface sides on which the pocket portions 2 are formed face each other. A stacking mechanism (all not shown) for stacking five sets of sheets so as to form a stack of ten sheets as shown in FIG. 7 is provided.

  A primary band unit 23 is provided on the downstream side of the stacking unit 22, and the primary band unit 23 includes a transfer mechanism 29 for transferring the stacking sheet 28 as shown in FIG. 8. ing. The transfer mechanism 29 includes a rotating unit 34 including a plurality of chucks 33 for gripping the stacked sheets 28, and the stacked sheets 28 gripped by the chucks 33 rotate as the rotating unit 34 rotates. It can be moved.

The cutting part 40 which cut | disconnects, and the sticking part 41 etc. for heat-welding and sticking the band film 7 wound around the integration | stacking sheet | seat 28 are provided. A primary band mechanism for winding the band film 7 around the integrated sheet 28 during transfer by the transfer mechanism 29 is configured by the feeding portion 38, the bundled body gripping portion 39, the cutting portion 40, and the sticking portion 41. By operating the primary band mechanism, the band film 7 is wound around the stacking sheet 28 as the stacking sheet 28 is rotated by the rotating unit 34. Thus, in the primary band means 23, the primary band sheet 8 is obtained by winding the band film 7 around the integrated sheet 28.

  Further, the operation of the primary band mechanism can be stopped, and when the operation of the primary band mechanism is stopped, only the transfer by the transfer mechanism 29 is performed, and the integrated sheet 28 is hung by the band film 7. It will be transferred downstream without being done.

  A secondary band unit 24 and a secondary band bypass unit 25 are provided on the downstream side of the primary band unit 23. The secondary band means 24 includes a stacking mechanism for stacking five sets of primary band sheets 8, a transport mechanism for transporting the primary band sheets 8 stacked by the stacking mechanism, and transport by the transport mechanism. And a secondary band mechanism for winding the band film 9 around the primary band sheet 8 that is overlapped (the illustration and detailed description of these mechanisms are omitted, but the primary band mechanism and A similar configuration may be employed, or another configuration may be employed. The operation of the secondary band mechanism can be stopped, and when the operation of the secondary band mechanism is stopped, only the transfer by the transfer mechanism is performed, and the band film 9 is hung on the primary band sheet 8. Without being transferred downstream.

  The secondary band bypass means 25 is for transferring the PTP sheet 1 without being subjected to the secondary banding by the secondary band means 24, and has a claw conveyor (not shown). In this embodiment, the conveyor receives the accumulated sheet 28 (not primary banded) on the downstream side of the primary band means 23 and transfers the received accumulated sheet 28 to the downstream side of the secondary band means 24. It is configured to be transportable.

  A pillow wrapping means 26 and a pillow bypass means 27 are provided on the downstream side of the secondary band means 24. The pillow packaging means 26 includes a first transfer mechanism that transfers the delivered PTP sheet 1 toward the packaging film 11, and a center seal mechanism that bonds the packaging film 11 in a cylindrical shape along the transfer direction. And a second transfer mechanism for transferring the PTP sheet 1 together with the packaging film 11 and a top seal (end seal) mechanism for bonding the opening portions of the cylindrical packaging film 11 ( Since each of these mechanisms is publicly known, illustration and detailed description thereof are omitted here). With these mechanisms, the pillow wrapping means 26 is configured to perform pillow wrapping on the delivered PTP sheet 1 and transfer it to the downstream side. In the pillow wrapping means 26, pillow wrapping is possible even if the form of the delivered PTP sheet 1 is any of the accumulated sheet 28, the primary band sheet 8, or the secondary band sheet 10. It has become.

  The pillow bypass means 27 is for transferring the PTP sheet 1 without carrying out the pillow wrapping by the pillow wrapping means 26, and includes a conveyor (not shown). The conveyor receives the PTP sheet 1 as the primary band sheet 8 or the secondary band sheet 10 on the downstream side of the secondary band means 24, and transfers the received PTP sheet 1 to the downstream side of the pillow packaging means 26. It is configured to be transportable. The pillow bypass means 27 does not transfer the stacked sheets 28 that are not bundled in principle.

  Here, the procedure at the time of packaging the PTP sheet 1 using the packaging device 21 configured as described above, and the effects achieved at that time will be described.

  In the stacking means 22, the individual PTP sheets 1 being conveyed are held together two by a holding mechanism, and stacked by a stacking mechanism to form a stacked sheet 28. Then, the accumulation sheet 28 is delivered to the primary band means 23.

  In the primary band means 23, the accumulation sheet 28 is delivered to the transfer mechanism 29. Here, when the primary banding is performed, the end portion of the band film 7 fed from the band film roll 36 by the feeding portion 38 is gripped by the binding body gripping portion 39, whereby the integrated sheet 28 and The band film 7 is interposed between the chuck 33 and the chuck 33. Then, the band film 7 is pushed into the chuck 33 together with the accumulation sheet 28 by pushing the accumulation sheet 7 into the opened chuck 33.

  Further, the chuck 33 is closed, and the gripping of the end portion of the band film 7 by the binding body gripping portion 32 is released, and the band film 7 is cut into a predetermined length by the cutting portion 40. Next, the accumulated sheet 28 held by the chuck 26 is rotated upward by the rotation mechanism 34. By this rotational movement, the band film 7 cut to the predetermined length is wound around the accumulation sheet 28, and the end portion of the wound band film 7 is thermally welded by the sticking portion 36. Banding is completed by the heat welding. That is, the accumulation sheet 28 is the primary band sheet 8. After the heat welding is completed, the primary band sheet 8 is taken out from the chuck 33 and transferred to the downstream side.

  On the other hand, when the primary banding is not performed, the operations of the feeding part 38, the bundled body gripping part 39, the cutting part 40, and the sticking part 41 of the primary band mechanism are stopped (invalidated). Thereby, when the integrated sheet 28 is pushed into the chuck 33, the band film 7 is not interposed between the integrated sheet 28 and the chuck 33. For this reason, the integrated sheet 28 to be inserted is transferred by the rotating portion 34 and is transferred to the downstream side of the primary band means 23 without the band film 7 being wound around itself.

  Subsequently, when the primary band sheet 8 is transferred to the downstream side of the primary band means 23, the primary band sheet 8 is passed through the secondary band means 24. Here, when the secondary banding is applied to the primary band sheet 8, first, five sets of the primary band sheets 8 are overlapped by the accumulation mechanism. Then, the superposed primary band sheet 8 is transferred by the transfer mechanism, and the band film 9 is wound by the secondary band mechanism to form the secondary band sheet 10.

  On the other hand, when the secondary band is not applied to the primary band sheet 8, the operation of the secondary band mechanism is stopped (invalidated). Thereby, the primary band sheet 8 overlapped by the accumulation mechanism is transferred to the downstream side by the transfer mechanism without the band film 9 being wound.

  On the other hand, when the unstacked integrated sheet 28 is transferred to the downstream side of the primary band means 23, the secondary banding is not performed, and the integrated sheet 28 passes through the secondary band bypass means 25. Be made. Since the secondary band bypass means 25 is provided with the claw conveyor, the integrated sheet 28 can be reliably transported downstream without breaking apart.

  When pillow packaging is applied to the PTP sheet 1 (the integrated sheet 28, the primary band sheet 8 or the secondary band sheet 10) that has passed through the secondary band means 24 or the secondary band bypass means 25, the PTP sheet 1 is a pillow. The packaging means 26 is passed through. In the pillow packaging means 26, the PTP sheet 1 is transferred by the first transfer mechanism toward the packaging film that is bonded in a cylindrical shape by the center seal mechanism. Furthermore, the cylindrical packaging film which wraps the PTP sheet 1 is moved toward the top seal mechanism by the second transfer mechanism. And a cylindrical packaging film is sealed and cut | disconnected by the top seal mechanism before and behind with respect to the transfer direction of PTP sheet 1, This completes pillow packaging. Then, it is further transferred downstream.

  When pillow packaging is not applied to the PTP sheet 1 (the primary band sheet 8 or the secondary band sheet 10), the PTP sheet 1 is passed through the pillow bypass means 27. In the pillow bypass means 27, the PTP sheet 1 is transferred downstream by the conveyor without being pillow-wrapped.

  As described above in detail, the packaging device 21 of the present embodiment includes the primary band unit 23, the secondary band unit 24, and the pillow packaging unit 26, and includes the primary banding, the secondary banding, and the pillow. Packaging is possible. In addition to this, it is possible to select whether or not to perform primary banding, secondary banding, and pillow packaging. Therefore, (1) the primary band sheet 8; (2) the secondary band sheet 10; (3) the secondary band sheet 10 that is pillow-wrapped; (4) the primary band sheet 8; Various packaging forms such as a pillow packaging and (5) a pillow packaging of the integrated sheet 28 can be realized by the single packaging device 21. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a dedicated facility according to the packaging form, and the facility cost can be suppressed and the facility installation area can be reduced.

  Even if each of the primary band means 23, the secondary band means 24, and the pillow wrapping means 26 is transported downstream without packaging the PTP sheet 1, a separate transport means, etc. There is no need to attach or remove. In general, attaching and detaching a separate device such as a conveying means to / from a packaging device is a very sophisticated and complicated operation, requires a lot of work time, and also requires an operator with specialized skills. In this respect, the packaging device 21 can easily switch the packaging form in a short time without performing a special operation such as attachment / detachment of a separate device.

  In addition, regarding the pillow wrapping means, when the PTP sheet 1 is configured to be able to pass through the pillow wrapping means without being subjected to pillow wrapping and to be transferred to the downstream side, it is transferred to the center seal mechanism, the top seal mechanism, etc. There is a possibility that the PTP sheet 1 is caught and the transfer becomes unstable. In this regard, in the present embodiment, since the packaging device 21 includes the pillow bypass means 27, there is no need to pass the PTP sheet 1 through the pillow packaging means 26. For this reason, even if it is a case where pillow packaging is not given, the PTP sheet 1 can be stably transported downstream.

  Further, even when the primary banding is not performed, the primary band unit 23 grips and transfers the integrated sheet 28 with the chuck 33 as in the case where the primary banding is performed. That is, the integrated sheet 28 can be transferred to the next apparatus by the same method and route regardless of the presence or absence of the primary banding. For this reason, it is not necessary to separately provide a transfer device and a transfer path for the stacked sheets 28 depending on the presence or absence of the primary banding. Therefore, the cost of the packaging device 21 can be reduced and the installation area can be reduced.

  In addition, when the secondary band is not applied to the integrated sheet 8, the secondary band bypass means 25 can be used instead of the secondary band means 24. For this reason, the integrated sheet 28 which is not banded and easily collapses can be reliably transferred to the downstream side.

  In the embodiment described above, for example, a part of the configuration can be appropriately changed as follows. Of course, other modifications not exemplified below are also possible.

(A ) The primary band sheet 8 may be transferred by the secondary band bypass means 25 as well as the integrated sheet 28. In this case, it is possible to further stabilize the transfer.

( B ) In this embodiment, the secondary band bypass means 25 and the pillow bypass means 27 are individually provided corresponding to the secondary band means 24 and the pillow wrapping means 26, respectively, but FIG.

Specifically, the bypass means 57 receives the PTP sheet 1 downstream of the primary band means 23 and can transfer the PTP sheet 1 to the downstream of the pillow wrapping means 26, and between the secondary band means 24 and the pillow wrapping means 26. You may comprise so that the presence or absence of the delivery of the PTP sheet 1 can be selected between. Thereby, the further simplification of a packaging apparatus can be achieved. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9B, a packaging device 60 having a common bypass means 59 for the primary band means 23, the secondary band means 24, and the pillow packaging means 26 may be used (however, reference Example)

( C ) The number of PTP sheets 1 constituting the primary band sheet 8 is not necessarily 10 and may be plural. Along with this, the stacking means 22 does not necessarily require the PTP sheet 1 to be a set of 10 stacked sheets 28, as long as the PTP sheet 1 is a set of stacked sheets. Further, the accumulating means 22 includes a tying mechanism, but the tying mechanism may be omitted.

( D ) In the present embodiment, five sets of the primary band sheets 8 are overlapped by the secondary band means 24 to form the secondary band sheet 10. .
