Title:
Stacking equipment, packaging machines, and methods for continuously forming multiple stacks
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6307598
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The invention relates to a stacking device for continuously forming stacks (12a-e) of bags (18a), which bags are continuously fed in at least one bag strand (16a,d-e), which comprises at least one bag row (14a) and which is endless or cut through after each series of a defined number of bags, the stacking device comprising: at least one stack base (24a-e, 24′a-b), which is moved back and forth in a stacking motion (22a-e, 22′a) parallel to a stack layer direction (20a) at least during the formation of a stack (12a-e); a bag-feeding means (26a-d), which lays the at least one bag strand (16a,d-e) on the stack base (24a-e, 24′a-b) in such a way that the bag strand (16a,d-e) bends at least substantially because of the stacking motion (22a-e, 22′a) after each series of a number of bags that forms a stack layer (28a,c-d) and forms zig-zag-shaped stack layers (28a,c-d) or that the bag strand (16a,d-e) is layered at least substantially because of the stacking motion (22a-e, 22′a) with matching bag orientation into stack layers (28a,c-d) having the number of bags that forms the stack layer (28a,c-d); and at least one stack-transporting means (30a-e, 30′a-b) for transporting the stacks (12a-e) out of the region of influence of the stacking motion (22a-e, 22′a) after a specified number of stack layers has been reached. According to the invention a first driving unit (32a-e, 32′a-b) for driving at least one stacking motion (22a-e) is provided and a further driving unit (32′a-e, 32a-b) for driving at least one transporting motion (34a-e, 34′a) of at least one stack-transporting means (30a-e, 30′a-b) is provided.
