Abstract

Tight seal system for the packaging of products comprising a transverse welding station ( 14 ) of packaging sheets comprising: a first pair of discs ( 100 ) connected centrally to a first axis ( 101 ); said first pair of discs ( 100 ) rotating about said first axis ( 101 ); at least one first bar ( 102, 103 ) is positioned peripherally between said first pair of discs ( 100 ); a first welding jaw ( 111 ) is associated with said at least one first bar ( 102, 103 ); said first bar ( 102, 103 ) rotating so that said first jaw ( 111 ) is always facing in the same direction; a second pair of discs ( 130 ) connected centrally to a second axis ( 131 ); said second pair of discs ( 130 ) rotating about said second axis ( 131 ); at least one second bar ( 132, 133 ) is positioned peripherally between said second pair of discs ( 130 ); a second welding jaw ( 136 ) is associated with said at least one second bar ( 132, 133 ); said second bar ( 132, 133 ) rotating so that said second jaw ( 136 ) is always facing in the same direction; said first jaw ( 111 ) and said second jaw ( 136 ) are facing each other so that, rotating said first pair of discs ( 100 ) and said second pair of discs ( 130 ), said first jaw ( 111 ) and said second jaw ( 136 ) come into contact with each other and can perform welding of said packaging sheets; said first welding jaw ( 111 ) is associated with said at least one first bar ( 102, 103 ) by means of a plurality of pins ( 112 ) passing through said first bar ( 102, 103 ); two pins ( 120 ) secured inferiorly to said first bar ( 102, 103 ) support a third bar ( 121 ) parallel to said first bar ( 102, 103 ); a plurality of springs ( 122 ) are placed between said plurality of pins ( 112 ) and the inner surface of said third bar ( 121 ).

Claims (9)

1. Tight seal system for the packaging of products comprising a transverse welding station ( 14 ) of packaging sheets comprising: a first pair of discs ( 100 ) connected centrally to a first axis of a first shaft ( 101 ); said first pair of discs ( 100 ) rotating about said first axis of said first shaft ( 101 ); at least one first bar ( 102 , 103 ) positioned peripherally between said first pair of discs ( 100 ); a first welding jaw ( 111 ) associated with said at least one first bar ( 102 , 103 ); said first bar ( 102 , 103 ) rotating so that said first jaw ( 111 ) is always facing in the same direction; a second pair of discs ( 130 ) connected centrally to a second shaft ( 131 ) having a second axis; said second pair of discs ( 130 ) rotating about said second axis of the second shaft ( 131 ); at least one second bar ( 132 , 133 ) positioned peripherally between said second pair of discs ( 130 ); a second welding jaw ( 136 ) associated with said at least one second bar ( 132 , 133 ); said second bar ( 132 , 133 ) rotating so that said second jaw ( 136 ) is always facing in the same direction; said first jaw ( 111 ) and said second jaw ( 136 ) are facing each other so that, rotating said first pair of discs ( 100 ) and said second pair of discs ( 130 ), said first jaw ( 111 ) and said second jaw ( 136 ) come into contact with each other and can perform welding of said packaging sheets; said first welding jaw ( 111 ) associated with said at least one first bar ( 102 , 103 ) by a plurality of pins ( 112 ) passing through said first bar ( 102 , 103 ); two pins ( 120 ) secured interiorly to said first bar ( 102 , 103 ) support a third bar ( 121 ) parallel to said first bar ( 102 , 103 ); a plurality of springs ( 122 ) located between said plurality of pins ( 112 ) and the inner surface of said third bar ( 121 ), wherein said first shaft ( 101 ) and said second shaft ( 131 ) are rotatably connected at two side shoulders of said transverse welding station ( 14 ).

2. System according to claim 1 , characterised in that it comprises a first epicyclic gear unit ( 104 ) that rotates said first bar ( 102 , 103 ).

3. System according to claim 1 , characterised in that it comprises a second epicyclic gear unit ( 134 ) that rotates said second bar ( 132 , 133 ).

4. System according to claim 2 , characterised in that it said first ( 104 ) and second ( 134 ) epicyclic gear unit respectively comprise a first gear ( 155 , 157 ) that transmits motion to a second gear ( 160 , 170 ) secured to a shaft that supports a third gear ( 161 , 171 ) that transfers motion to a fourth gear ( 162 , 172 ) that transfers motion to a fifth ( 163 , 173 ) and a sixth ( 164 , 174 ) gear that respectively rotate said at least one first bar ( 102 , 103 ) and said at least one second bar ( 132 , 133 ).

5. System according to claim 1 , characterised in that said first jaw ( 111 ) and said second jaw ( 136 ) come into contact with each other while the radius created by the line joining said first axis of the first shaft ( 101 ) with said at least one first bar ( 102 , 103 ) forms an angle with respect to a vertical axis (Y) between −30° and +30°.

6. System according to claim 1 , characterised in that said first jaw ( 111 ) has a vertical movement given by said plurality of pins ( 112 ) passing through said first bar ( 102 , 103 ) opposed by the force exerted by said plurality of springs ( 122 ).

7. System according to claim 2 , characterised in that said epicyciic gears ( 104 , 134 ) are synchronized with each other so that said first bar ( 102 , 103 ) and said second bar ( 132 , 133 ) rotate, but said first jaw ( 111 ) is always facing downwards and said second jaw ( 136 ) is always facing upwards.

8. System according to claim 2 , characterised in that it comprises a motor ( 150 ) that operates said first ( 104 ) and said second ( 134 ) epicyclic gear.

9. System according to claim 2 , characterised in that a motor ( 150 ) operates a gear ( 151 ), which by means of a belt ( 152 ) rotates a gear ( 154 ) that is secured to said first shaft ( 101 ); on said first axis of the first shaft ( 101 ) there is positioned a gear ( 155 ), which by means of two idle gears ( 156 ) rotates a gear ( 157 ) positioned on said second axis of the second shaft ( 131 ).
