Bag Making Machine Detachable Shaker Unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bag making and packaging machines require significant labor to replace the shaker unit due to its heavy and precise nature, often necessitating uncomfortable postures for workers due to space constraints around the packaging machine.
Innovation Solution
A bag making and packaging machine design that includes a detachable action part with a sliding mechanism, supported by an installation part with a wheel system, allowing for horizontal movement and easy attachment/detachment, reducing the physical effort required for replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the shaker unit is made heavy with high strength and dimensional precision, then the reliability and performance of the packaging machine is improved, but the ease of operation for replacement is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The shaker unit is designed as a detachable module that can be separated from the main body of the packaging machine. This segmentation allows the heavy shaker unit to be replaced as a complete module rather than requiring disassembly of individual components, significantly reducing replacement effort while maintaining the required strength and precision.
Solution Approach 2:
A guide structure consisting of guide pins and guide holes is introduced as an intermediary mechanism between the shaker unit and the main body. This guide structure enables precise alignment and easy attachment/detachment of the heavy shaker unit, reducing the physical effort required for replacement while ensuring proper positioning.
2Ease of operation
If the shaker unit is attached to the frontal side of the main body, then the ease of operation for attachment is improved, but the adaptability to space constraints is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment position of the shaker unit is made adjustable rather than fixed. The detachable design with guide structures allows the shaker unit to be mounted at different positions on the main body, enabling adaptation to various space constraints and machine configurations while maintaining ease of attachment.
3Manufacturing precision
If the shaker unit requires complete detachment and precise attachment, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the productivity for replacement is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The shaker unit is designed as a complete detachable module with integrated components. This segmentation allows replacement as a single unit rather than requiring precise assembly of multiple individual parts, maintaining manufacturing precision while significantly improving replacement efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide structure with guide pins and guide holes acts as an intermediary that automatically ensures precise positioning during attachment. This eliminates the need for manual alignment operations, maintaining high positioning accuracy while reducing replacement time and improving productivity.

AI summary
A bag making and packaging machine is configured with a member that is easily detachable therefrom. The bag making and packaging machine includes a forming mechanism, a transverse sealing mechanism, a shaker unit, and an installation unit. The forming mechanism forms a film into a tubular shape as the film moves in a downward direction. The transverse sealing mechanism is installed below the forming mechanism, seals the film formed in a tubular shape in a direction transverse to the downward direction. The shaker unit acts on the film to improve a state of the film. The shaker unit is detachable. The installation unit is a member for installing the shaker unit below the forming mechanism and above the transverse sealing mechanism. The installation unit places the shaker unit thereon, supports the shaker unit, and has a slide surface for sliding the shaker unit in a horizontal direction.
