(Effects of Example)
Next, the boxing of the packaged goods 12 using the boxing apparatus according to the embodiment will be described. In the packaged goods transport conveyor 14, the packaged goods 12 arrive one after another in a lying state, the top packaged goods 12 are stopped by the stopper 26, and the second packaged goods 12 are lifted by the lifting body 30. Thus, the three bags 12 are collected so that the head 12b of the central bag 12 overlaps above the heads 12b of the adjacent bags 12. The three packed products 12 are adsorbed and transferred from the packed product transport conveyor 14 by the transfer means 24 while keeping the head 12b overlapped, and the bottom 12a is directed toward the outlet 18b and the head 12b is supported below. In a lying state on the means 46, it is transferred from above to the placement surface 18 a of the container 18. Here, when the packaged article 12 is transferred by the transfer means 24, the container 18 is in the first posture and the pressing bodies 34, 34 are in a receiving state spaced apart from each other, and the upper portion of the placement surface 18a is greatly opened. ing. Further, the upper support body 44a is retracted from the placement area of the packaged product 12 to the rear position. The next three bag products 12 are collectively transferred by the transfer means 24 from the bag product conveyor 14 and are placed in the same direction as the first bag 12 and above the first bag 12. The second-stage packaged goods 12 are stacked by the transfer means 24. The upper support 44a is advanced by the fourth pneumatic cylinder 45b to the outlet 18b side so that the upper support 44a extends above the head 12b of the packaged product 12 stacked in the second stage. Is done. Further, the next three bag products 12 are collectively transferred by the transfer means 24 from the bag product conveyor 14, and the upper side of the second bag 12 in the same direction as the second bag 12. In the state where the bottom portion 12a is placed on the head 12b and the head portion 12b is placed on the upper support 44a, the third stage of the packed product 12 is stacked by the transfer means 24. Then, the next three bag products 12 are collectively transferred by the transfer means 24 from the bag product conveyor 14, and the third bag products 12 are transferred in the same direction as the third bag products 12. On the upper side, the fourth-stage packaged goods 12 are stacked by the transfer means 24.

  Since the boxing device supports the heads 12b of the first-stage and third-stage bagging products 12 so as not to be inclined by the support means 44, 46, the bagging products 12 are compared with the heads 12b. Although the bottom 12a is thick, the upper surface of the first-stage bag 12 on which the second-stage bag 12 is placed can be kept horizontal, and the fourth-stage bag 12 The upper surface of the third-stage packaged product 12 to be placed can be kept horizontal. In addition, the second-stage packaged product 12 placed on the first-stage packaged product 12 maintained in a predetermined posture can also maintain the predetermined attitude, and is loaded on the second-stage packaged product 12. It is easy to maintain the posture of the third-stage packaged product 12 to be placed. That is, the support means 44 and 46 can prevent the stacked bags 12 from collapsing.

  With the support means 44 and 46 supporting the head portion 12b of the bag 12, the pressing members 34 and 34 are moved so as to be close to each other, and the bag 12 stacked on the mounting surface 18a is stacked. It is simultaneously pressed from both the left and right sides by both pressing bodies 34, 34. In this way, the packaged product 12 stacked on the mounting surface 18a is configured to be pressed simultaneously from both sides by the pressing bodies 34, 34, so that the packaged product 12 can be pressed in a balanced manner. The bags 12 stacked by pressing the bodies 34 and 34 are not easily broken. Moreover, since the head 12 b of the bag 12 is supported by the support means 44 when the bag 12 is pressed by the pressing members 34, 34, the bags packed by the pressing by the press 34, 34 are stacked. The product 12 can be prevented from collapsing. Since the contents move from the bottom 12a side to the head 12b side in the bag 12 in the pressed state by the pressing bodies 34, 34, the bags 12 stacked in the container 18 are tightly connected to each other. It is gathered without gaps in contact with. Here, the stacked bag 12 is pressed from both sides by both pressing bodies 34, 34, so that the center row of the bag 12 protrudes upward through the upper opening of the container 18, When the holding body 50 rotated from the first position to the second position is lowered, the bag 12 in the center row is held from the upper side and stored in the housing 18. Thus, since the bagging product 12 protruding from the container 18 can be held by the holding body 50 and held in the container 18 without interfering when the container 18 described later is inserted into the box 10, Delivery of the bag 12 from the container 18 to the box 10 can be performed reliably. Since the inner shape of the container 18 is substantially the same as the inner shape of the box 10 in a state in which the bag 12 is pressed, the bag 12 pressed by both pressing bodies 34 and 34 is shown in FIG. And it is set as a collective state as shown in (b). In addition, even if it moves the press body 34 in the state restrained with the restraint body 50, it may move the restraint body 50 after moving the press body 34, or the restraint body 50 may be moved while moving the press body 34.

  The arrangement means 54 receives the box 10 from the box carry-in conveyor 20, and arranges the box 10 between the container 18 and the moving claw 58 of the moving means 56 with the opening 10a fitted in the outlet 18b. By moving the moving claw 58 toward the outlet 18b of the container 18, the container 18 is inserted into the box 10 through the opening 10a. The container 18 and the moving claw 58 are rotationally displaced from the first posture to the second posture by the rotating means 42, so that the container 18 having the bottom of the box 10 supported by the moving claw 58 is inserted into the box 10. The outlet 18b faces downward while maintaining the state. The pressing bodies 34, 34 are slightly separated so as to contact the inner surface of the box 10 to slightly loosen the pressing state of the bag 12 and lower the moving claw 58 so that the bags packed in the container 18 are stacked. The product 12 slides down toward the bottom of the box 10 by its own weight. In addition, since the support means 44 and 46 are arrange | positioned on the opposite side to the taking-out port 18b, they do not interfere with the fall of the bag 12. Further, by lowering the moving claw 58, the box 10 packed with the packaged goods 12 is detached from the container 18, and the moving claw 58 is immersed in the gap between the rollers 22a of the box carry-out conveyor 22 located below. The box 10 is delivered to the roller 22a. In this way, since the box 10 packed with the packaged goods 12 is delivered by the moving means 56 to the box conveyor 22 positioned below the container 18 in the second posture, the moving distance of the box 10 can be shortened. There is no need to provide another conveying means, and the box 10 can be efficiently transferred from the boxing unit 16 to the next process. Then, the container 18 and the moving claw 58 are returned from the second posture to the first posture, and both the pressing bodies 34, 34 are expanded to the receiving state so that the next packaged product 12 can be packed.

  As described above, according to the boxing device, the packed products 12 stacked by the pressing bodies 34, 34 are pressed to level the contents of the packed products 12, and then the packed products 12 are put into the box 10. Thus, when the contents on the head 12b side are packed in the box 10 by the pressing of the pressing bodies 34, 34, the contents are returned to the bottom 12a side located on the lower side, so The gap between 12 and 12 is filled. That is, as shown in FIG. 9B, a plurality of packaged items 12 can be packed into the box 10 without a gap. Therefore, the orientation of the bag 12 is not easily changed in the box 10 even by handling in the distribution process, and the aligned state of the bag 12 packed in the box 10 can be maintained. The boxing device is particularly effective for packing the boxed product 12 in which the contents having fluidity such as powder, granule, gel, and liquid are packed. Since the boxing device is stacked in such a manner that the heads 12b of the packaged articles 12 in the central row overlap with the heads 12b of the packaged goods 12 in the same row in the adjacent row, When pressed, the heads 12b of the center-packed product 12 in the center row are easily guided so as to be in a regular dense state overlapping above the heads 12b of the adjacent packed products 12, as shown in FIG. 9 (a). Thus, the packaged goods 12 can be packed in the box 10 in an orderly manner.
