[0002] Recently, air-filled packaging bags have been used to protect the contents by pre-filling them with air before packaging them, utilizing the cushioning properties of the air column. Particularly when packaging products sold online, the cushioning properties of the air column can prevent damage to the products during transportation. However, currently, the contents are manually placed in the air-filled packaging bag, and the air column compresses the interior space of the bag, lengthening the time required to place the contents in the air-filled packaging bag.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, an automated production apparatus 3000 according to the present invention is used to produce a packaging bag 1000. The packaging bag 1000 includes a bag chamber membrane layer 1. In this embodiment, the bag chamber membrane layer 1 has at least one air chamber 2 and an air filling path 2'. The air filling path 2' is connected to at least one air chamber 2, and air enters the at least one air chamber 2, causing the at least one air chamber 2 to change from the flat state shown in FIG. 2 to the air-filled state shown in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the bag chamber membrane layer 1 has multiple air chambers 2, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the bag chamber membrane layer 1 may have only one air chamber 2, which may be determined according to actual needs. In other embodiments, the bag chamber membrane layer 1 may include multiple air bubbles. That is, the bag chamber membrane layer 1 may be a bubble membrane, which may be determined according to actual needs.

[0026] The bag chamber membrane layer 1 has a first membrane layer edge 15 and a second membrane layer edge 16, and the automated production apparatus 3000 includes a folding means 4, an opening means 5, a lateral membrane sealing section 6, a vertical opening sealing section 7, and an actuator 8. As shown in FIG. 1, the bag chamber membrane layer 1 is pulled out from the bag chamber membrane material take-up tube 1', passes through a first roller group A1, and is then fed to the folding means 4. The folding means 4 is a triangular member. As the bag chamber membrane layer 1 is fed by a second wheel group A2 and passes through the triangular member (i.e., the folding means 4), the triangular member (i.e., the folding means 4) folds the bag chamber membrane layer 1 along the fold line 13 so that the second membrane layer edge 16 and the first membrane layer edge 15 face each other. At this time, an opening 17 and a storage space 14 communicating with the opening 17 are defined between the second membrane layer edge 16 and the first membrane layer edge 15, which are folded and placed opposite each other by the triangular member (i.e., the folding means 4).

[0027] As shown in Fig. 2, the automated production apparatus 3000 includes an air filling device 9. The air filling device 9 includes a motor 90, an interlocking wheel 91, and a nozzle 92. The motor 90 is coupled to the interlocking wheel 91 and outputs power to the interlocking wheel 91, thereby interlocking the interlocking wheel 91 to move the bag chamber membrane layer 1. For clarity, only one interlocking wheel 91 is shown in Fig. 2, but those skilled in the art will understand that the interlocking wheel 91 actually consists of a pair of wheels that are pressed against each other from above and below, and that the wheels interlock the bag chamber membrane layer 1 by clamping it from above and below.

[0028] The nozzle 92 is installed in the air filling path 2'. The nozzle 92 is for discharging air. When the air discharged from the nozzle 92 enters the air chamber 2, the air chamber 2 can be changed from the flat state to the air-filled state. For detailed technical points of the air filling device 9 mentioned in this embodiment, please refer to the Republic of China Patent Application No. 112115425, and therefore, a detailed description will not be repeated here.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 3, when the air is filled into the air chamber 2 by the nozzle 92 of the air filling device 9, the bag chamber membrane layer 1 together with the air-filled air chamber 2 is sent by the third wheel set A3 to pass through the opening means 5, and as the bag chamber membrane layer 1 in a folded state passes through the opening means 5, the first membrane layer edge 15 and the second membrane layer edge 16, which are in a folded state and opposed to each other, of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 are guided in directions away from each other by the opening means 5. Therefore, the opening 17 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, which is originally in a folded state, is opened by the opening means 5. At this time, the opened opening 17 allows the object 2000 to be placed in the storage space 14 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, the opening means 5 are two in number and are opposed to each other on the left and right, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the opening means 5 may be a base having a bottom plate and two ribs. The two ribs protrude from the bottom plate. Then, as the folded bag chamber membrane layer 1 passes through the base (i.e., the opening means 5), the folded first membrane layer edge 15 and the folded second membrane layer edge 16 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 are guided away from each other by the two ribs on the base, respectively, thereby opening the opening 17 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, which is already in the folded state, by the base. At this time, the opened opening 17 allows the object 2000 to be placed in the storage space 14 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1.

[0031] The lateral membrane sealing portion 6 is for forming a first lateral heat-sealed edge 10 on the folded bag chamber membrane layer 1. The first lateral heat-sealed edge 10 not only provides a bottom support for the object 2000 and limits the position of the object 2000 when it is placed in the receiving space 14 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, but also provides a point for the actuator 8 to apply force, which can drive the bag chamber membrane layer 1 to move. Furthermore, when the object 2000 is placed in the receiving space 14 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 (as shown in FIG. 4), the actuator 8 moves the bag chamber membrane layer 1 to a position adjacent to the first lateral heat-sealed edge 10 on the bag chamber membrane layer 1. In this embodiment, the actuator 8 clamps the first lateral heat-sealed edge 10 to move the bag chamber membrane layer 1 together with the object 2000, thereby moving the bag chamber membrane layer 1 from the position shown in FIG. 4 to the position shown in FIG. 5.

[0032] When the bag chamber membrane layer 1 is moved together with the object 2000 by the actuator 8 to the position shown in Fig. 5, both the lateral membrane sealing portion 6 and the vertical opening sealing portion 7 are moved toward the bag chamber membrane layer 1. As a result, the lateral membrane sealing portion 6 forms a second lateral heat sealed edge 11 at a position opposite to the first lateral heat sealed edge 10 in the existing bag chamber membrane layer 1, and the first membrane layer edge 15 and the second membrane layer edge 16 in the bag chamber membrane layer 1 form a vertical heat sealed edge 12 with the vertical opening sealing portion 7 (shown in Figs. 5B and 6), thereby closing the opening 17. Then, the bag is folded by the folding means 4 to form a fold line 13, the horizontal membrane sealing portion 6 forms a first horizontal heat-sealed edge 10 and a second horizontal heat-sealed edge 11, and the vertical opening sealing portion 7 forms a vertical heat-sealed edge 12, thereby closing the four sides of the storage space 14 and packaging the object 2000 in the storage space 14 inside the bag chamber membrane layer 1.

[0033] As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5A and 5B, the lateral membrane sealing portion 6 and the vertical opening sealing portion 7 are connected to form an L-shaped structure. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lateral membrane sealing portion 6 does not have to be connected to the vertical opening sealing portion 7. The best configuration to adopt may be determined according to actual needs.

[0034] 7 and 8, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of an automated production apparatus 3000' according to another embodiment of the present invention in the overlapping stage, and FIG. 8 is a front view of the automated production apparatus 3000' according to another embodiment of the present invention in the packaging stage. The packaging bag 1000' according to this embodiment differs from the packaging bag 1000 described above in that the packaging bag 1000' further includes a rupturable bag layer 3. The rupturable bag layer 3 covers the outside of the bag chamber membrane layer 1. The rupturable bag layer 3 includes a first bag layer edge 30 and a second bag layer edge 31. In the manufacturing process, the rupturable bag layer 3 is first provided. While being pulled out from the rupturable bag material take-up tube 3', the rupturable bag layer 3 passes between a group of material alignment rollers A4 to be held flat. Next, the rupturable bag layer 3 is overlapped with the bag chamber membrane layer 1. Meanwhile, the bag chamber membrane layer 1 is pulled out from the bag chamber membrane material take-up tube 1' and passes through the material alignment roller group A5, also holding it flat. Next, the breakable bag layer 3 and the bag chamber membrane layer 1 simultaneously pass through the overlapping roller group A6. This completes the overlapping of the breakable bag layer 3 and the bag chamber membrane layer 1.

[0035] Similarly, the automated production apparatus 3000' further includes an opening means 5, a lateral membrane sealing portion 6, a vertical opening sealing portion 7, and an actuator 8. The principle of action of the overlapping rupture bag layer 3 and bag chamber membrane layer 1 interacting with the opening means 5, lateral membrane sealing portion 6, vertical opening sealing portion 7, and actuator 8 in the automated production apparatus 3000' in the subsequent manufacturing process is the same as the principle of action of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 interacting with the opening means 5, lateral membrane sealing portion 6, vertical opening sealing portion 7, and actuator 8 in the automated production apparatus 3000 in the above embodiment, and therefore will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity. The rupturable bag layer 3 of the packaging bag according to this embodiment has both sides connected to the first transverse heat-sealed edge 10 and the second transverse heat-sealed edge 11 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, respectively, and the rupturable bag layer 3 and the bag chamber membrane layer 1 are folded together along the fold line 13, so that the first bag layer edge 30 and the second bag layer edge 31 of the rupturable bag layer 3 are connected to the vertical heat-sealed edge 12 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1. In other words, the packaging bag according to this embodiment further adds the rupturable bag layer 3 to the outside of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, and packages the object 2000 in the containing space 14 closed by the fold line 13, the first transverse heat-sealed edge 10, the second transverse heat-sealed edge 11 and the vertical heat-sealed edge 12.

[0036] 9 and 10, FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing an automated production apparatus 3000'' according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a schematic side view of the automated production apparatus 3000'' according to another embodiment of the present invention. The automated production apparatus 3000'' includes a first folding means 4', a second folding means 4'', a first drive wheel group A7, a second drive wheel group A8, and a nozzle 92. The first drive wheel group A7 drives the bag chamber membrane layer 1 so that the bag chamber membrane layer 1 passes through the first folding means 4' at a first linear velocity V1, and is folded by the first folding means 4' while passing through the first folding means 4'. The second driving wheel group A8 drives the rupture bag layer 3 so that the rupture bag layer 3 passes through the second folding means 4" at the second linear velocity V2, and is folded by the second folding means 4" while passing through the second folding means 4". The nozzle 92 is installed in front of the lateral membrane sealing portion 6 or the vertical opening sealing portion 7, and is for filling air into the bag chamber membrane layer 1. The process of filling air is the same as in the above embodiment, so it will not be described again here.

[0037] When air is injected into the bag chamber membrane layer 1 by the nozzle 92, the length of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 in the running direction of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 (i.e., the length direction of the bag chamber membrane layer 1) is shortened due to the expansion of the air chamber. In this embodiment, the first linear velocity V1 of the rupturable bag layer 3 driven by the first drive wheel group A7 is smaller than the second linear velocity V2 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 driven by the second drive wheel group A8. The speed difference between the first linear velocity V1 and the second linear velocity V2 can compensate for the difference in length between the rupturable bag layer 3 and the bag chamber membrane layer 1, which is shortened due to the expansion of the air chamber when the air is injected. In other words, the value of the difference between the first linear velocity V1 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 and the second linear velocity V2 of the rupturable bag layer 3 is substantially equal to the speed rate of shortening of the length caused by the expansion of the air chamber. Furthermore, in the present invention, when the first horizontal heat-sealed edge 10 and the second horizontal heat-sealed edge 11 are fixed between the rupturable bag layer 3 and the air-filled bag chamber membrane layer 1, the problem of undulations occurring on the surface of the rupturable bag layer 3 can be prevented by shortening the length difference with the rupturable bag layer 3 due to the expansion of the air chamber when air is filled into the bag chamber membrane layer 1.

[0038] Referring to Figures 11A and 11B, Figure 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a packaging bag 1000'' according to a further embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 11B is a schematic side view of a packaging bag 1000'' according to a further embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the packaging bag 1000'' and the above-mentioned packaging bag 1000 is that the bag chamber membrane layer 1 of the packaging bag 1000'' has a first transverse heat-sealed edge 10, a second transverse heat-sealed edge 11, a vertically curved sealed edge 18, a first folded portion 19 and a second folded portion 19', the first transverse heat-sealed edge 10 and the second transverse heat-sealed edge 11 are opposite to each other, the first folded portion 19 and the second folded portion 19' are opposite to each other, the vertically curved sealed edge 18 is connected to the first transverse heat-sealed edge 10 and the second transverse heat-sealed edge 11 and is located between the first folded portion 19 and the second folded portion 19', and the first transverse heat-sealed edge 10, the second transverse heat-sealed edge 11, the vertically curved sealed edge 18, the first folded portion 19 and the second folded portion 19' together form a storage space 14 for storing an object 2000.

[0039] 12A and 12B, FIG. 12A is a schematic diagram showing an automated production apparatus 3000'" according to a further embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12B is a schematic side view of the automated production apparatus 3000'" according to a further embodiment of the present invention. The automated production apparatus 3000'" is for producing the packaging bag 1000" shown in FIG. 11. The packaging bag 1000" includes a folding means 4'", a vertical opening sealing portion 7', and a lateral membrane sealing portion 6'. The folding means 4'" includes a storing portion 40, a first folding wing portion 41, and a second folding wing portion 42. The first folding wing portion 41 is connected to one side of the storing portion 40, and the second folding wing portion 42 is connected to the other side of the storing portion 40 opposite the first folding wing portion 41.

[0040] When the bag chamber membrane layer 1 passes through the folding means 4''', the side of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 passes through the first folding wing portion 41. At this time, the first folding wing portion 41 forms the first folded portion 19 of the packaging bag 1000'' on the side of the bag chamber membrane layer 1. Meanwhile, the other side of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 passes through the second folding wing portion 42. At this time, the second folding wing portion 42 forms the second folded portion 19' of the packaging bag 1000'' on the other side of the bag chamber membrane layer 1. The central portion of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, which is connected to the other side, passes through the storing section 40. At this time, the storing section 40 forms a storage space 14' in the central portion of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, allowing the object 2000 to be placed therein, and the storing section 40 causes the first membrane layer edge 15 and the second membrane layer edge 16 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 to overlap.

[0041] Furthermore, the vertical opening sealing portion 7' ​​closes the overlapping first membrane layer edge 15 and second membrane layer edge 16, thereby forming a vertically curved sealed edge 18 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1. When the overlapping first membrane layer edge 15 and second membrane layer edge 16 are closed by the vertical opening sealing portion 7', the lateral membrane sealing portion 6' presses downward to heat seal, thereby forming a first lateral heat sealed edge 10 and a second lateral heat sealed edge 11 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1. Then, the vertically curved sealed edge 18, the first membrane layer edge 15 and the second membrane layer edge 16 of the bag chamber membrane layer 1 can seal the object 2000 in the storage space 14.

[0042] 13 is a schematic diagram showing a packaging bag 1000''' according to another embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between the packaging bag 1000''' and the above-mentioned packaging bag 1000'' is that the packaging bag 1000''' according to this embodiment further includes a rupture bag layer 3. The rupture bag layer 3 covers the outside of the bag chamber membrane layer 1. The rupture bag layer 3 and the bag chamber membrane layer 1 are both folded along a first fold 19 and a second fold 19', so that the first bag layer edge and the second bag layer edge of the rupture bag layer 3 are joined to the vertically curved sealing edge 18.

[0043] The packaging bag 1000 or 1000'' may further include an identification component (not shown). The identification component may be installed on at least one of the outer surface of the bag inner membrane layer 1, the inner surface opposite to the outer surface of the bag inner membrane layer 1, the receiving space 14, and the object 2000, depending on actual needs. In practice, the identification component may be an RFID (radio frequency identification) tag, a QR code, or a bar code. The identification component may be attached to the outer or inner surface of the bag inner membrane layer 1 or the object 2000, or may be placed in the receiving space 14. The identification component provides identification information, allowing identification, tracking, and statistics of the packaging bag 1000 or 1000'' during logistics. Alternatively, the identification component may also provide an anti-theft function. For example, when a packaging bag 1000 or a packaging bag 1000'' having the identification part whose identification function has not yet been removed approaches a reader, the reader generates a warning, thereby achieving the function of preventing theft. Alternatively, the identification part can assign an identification to the packaging bag 1000 or the packaging bag 1000'', and the management system can set in advance whether the identification is allowed to pass or not in relation to the identification. Then, when a packaging bag 1000 or a packaging bag 1000'' having the identification part that is allowed to pass approaches a reader, the management system determines that the identification is allowed to pass based on reading the transmitted identification, and the reader does not generate a warning. On the other hand, when a packaging bag 1000 or a packaging bag 1000'' not having the identification part that is allowed to pass approaches a reader, the management system determines that the identification is not allowed to pass based on reading the transmitted identification, and the reader generates a warning. This achieves the function of preventing theft.

[0044] The packaging bag 1000' or 1000''' may further include an identification component (not shown). The identification component may be installed on at least one of the outer surface of the destructible bag layer 3, the inner surface opposite to the outer surface of the destructible bag layer 3, the outer surface of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, the inner surface opposite to the outer surface of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, between the inner surfaces of the destructible bag layer 3 and the bag chamber membrane layer 1, the containing space 14, and the object 2000, but may be determined according to actual needs. In practice, the identification component may be an RFID (radio frequency identification) tag, a QR code, or a bar code. The identification component may also be attached to the outer or inner surface of the destructible bag layer 3, the outer or inner surface of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, and the object 2000, or may be installed between the inner surface of the destructible bag layer 3 and the inner surface of the bag chamber membrane layer 1, or in the containing space 14. The identification part provides identification information, thereby enabling identification, tracking, and statistics of the packaging bag 1000' and the packaging bag 1000''' during logistics. The identification part can also perform an anti-theft function. For example, when a packaging bag 1000' or a packaging bag 1000''' having the identification part whose identification function has not yet been removed approaches a reader, the reader can issue a warning, thereby achieving the anti-theft function. The identification part also provides an identification to the packaging bag 1000' or the packaging bag 1000''', and a management system can be set in advance to allow or deny passage for the identification. When a packaging bag 1000' or a packaging bag 1000''' having the identification part that is allowed to pass approaches a reader, the management system determines that the identification is allowed to pass by reading the transmitted identification, and therefore the reader does not issue a warning. On the other hand, when a packaging bag 1000' or a packaging bag 1000''' that does not have the identification part that is permitted to pass approaches the reader, the management system determines that the identification part is not permitted to pass based on reading the transmitted identification part, and the reader issues a warning.This makes it possible to achieve the function of preventing theft.
