Filling method for objects to be packed and packing machine

Abstract

The invention provides a filling method for objects to be packed and a packing machine which can fill multiple bar-shaped objects to be packed in a transverse posture in an orderly stacked state into a packing container with an upward inserting mouth easily, reliably and stably. The bar-shaped objects to be packed (5) which are supplied in a transverse gesture are orderly accommodated to a lifting hopper (12), and are orderly stacked toward a bearing plate (20) positioned in the lifting hopper. By this time, the bearing plate slowly moves downwards, and before arriving at a lowering end position, hands the objects to be packed to a bearing rod (24) disposed at a lower portion of the lifting hopper, and when the bearing plate arrives at the lowering end position, the bearing plate retreats to a retreat position. And then, the lifting hopper is inserted into the packing container positioned below and is positioned at the lowering end position near the bottom of the container. The bearing rod moves slowly toward a releasing position and moves the objects to be packed downward so as to fill the objects to be packed to the packing container. Finally the lifting hopper is extracted from the container.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for filling rod-shaped packaged objects which are sequentially supplied in a horizontal posture and piled up sequentially in the horizontal direction, for example, into a container such as an outer pouch. . More specifically, it relates to a filling method and an apparatus for filling stick-shaped packaged objects into a container with an insertion port disposed on the upper side in sequential stacking in the lateral direction. Background technique [0002] In the case of packing rod-shaped objects, for example, rod-shaped packaging bags filled with powder and granules and sealed (hereinafter simply referred to as "stick bags"), they are collected and filled into external containers such as bags, such as Japan Special Co., Ltd. As described in the Publication No. 5-17093 of the Fair, generally a plurality of stick bags are filled in a vertically vertical posture, and the filling operation is r...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

That is, (1) Even if a plurality of sticks are accumulated before filling, since the final filling into the container is performed by dropping all of the sticks at the same time and using free fall, the accumulation is accompanied by filling. Disturbance occurs in the state, and multiple rods overlap each other in the container to form mountains of different heights, and the filling state, that is, the appearance of the packaged product is damaged

(2) In addition, several rod-shaped objects mess up their posture during their fall, and when they are filled into the container, they become inclined or stand upright, which not only damages the appearance of the filled state, but also depends on the situation. The opening protrudes, which will cause obstacles to the sealing of the container to be implemented in the subsequent process.

(3) Furthermore, when the size of the container, that is, the opening area is relatively small, and there is not much room between the rod-shaped object to be filled, there may be cases where the end of the rod-shaped object catches on the opening edge of the container during the fall, resulting in Poor filling
