Container handling device

Abstract

In a container transfer device that intermittently moves a plurality of holders on a circular movement path in different movement patterns depending on the section, the movement of the holders is smoothed, the processing capacity of the packaging system is improved, and damage and impact of the holders are prevented. sound production. A plurality of holders (1) are arranged along a rail (52) for holder movement. The one-movement distance of the holder is set to an integer multiple of the arrangement interval (p) of the holder, and is set to a different value in two linear portions (track A and track B) of the track (52). When the maximum value of the one-time moving distance of the holders in the linear portion is n times the arrangement interval (p), and the maximum number of holders that can be arranged along the rail (52) is m, The number of holders actually arranged along the track (52) is preferably set to m-n. In this case, m-n is an integer multiple of n, and all holders arranged along the track (52) are connected to each other at an arrangement interval p of every n.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a container handling device. The aforementioned container handling device is applied to a packaging system (packaging machine) in which a plurality of holders are intermittently moved in one direction along an annular horizontal moving path. During the movement of the aforementioned holders, In the process, the containers are supplied to the holder, and then, the containers held by the holder are sequentially subjected to a predetermined packaging process. Background technique [0002] Patent Document 1 describes a packaging machine in which a plurality of holders (a pair of grippers that hold both side edges of a bag) are provided around a table that rotates intermittently. In this packaging machine, each holder moves intermittently along a circular movement path, at the initial stop position, the bag is fed relative to the holder, and thereafter, at each stop position, relative to the bag held in the holder, After ca...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the movement of the holder is not smooth, and it is difficult to increase the moving speed of the holder to improve the handling capacity of the container handling device and even the processing capacity of the packaging system.

In addition, if the moving speed of the holder is increased, the impact when the holder hits the stopper will increase, and the damage of the holder and the generation of impact noise will increase the burden on the operator due to parts replacement.

At this point, it is also difficult to increase the moving speed of the holder to increase the processing capacity of the packaging system.
