Abstract
ABSTRACT
A machine for de-capping containers having screw caps is responsive to the presence or absence of a cap on a container and includes an annular body mounted for rotation about a vertical axis and for upward and downward movement towards and away from a container. The body carries on its periphery vertical axis and for upward and downward movement towards and axes, the lower ends of the arms carrying tools operable to grip the cap. Coaxially within the body is a plunger-like probe which is spring urged downward relative to the body and which operates a valve controlling a supply of pressure fluid to motors for operating the arms to grip a cap. If the probe contacts a cap on a container the valve is opened by the relative movement of the probe and body to operate the motors to cause the cap to be gripped. If no cap is present on the container the valve remains closed and the arms do not operate.

Description
~04Z676 This invention relates to a machine for de-capping containers which have screw caps and which are to be re-filled or otherwise re-used. Some of the containers passed through the machine may already be capless, and in order to avoid damage to such containers and/or the machine it is desirable that the de-capping mechanism should not move to grip a cap when none is present.
According to this invention there is provided an automatic machine for de-capping a container having a screw cap, which machine comprises a support for a container to be de-capped, an annular rotary body mounted for rotation about its own axis and for axial movement toward and away from the top of a container on said support, arms pivotally mounted on the body for swivelling movement about respective axes extending tangentially with res ect to the said axis of rotation of the body, tools carried by the respective arms for engaging opposite sides of a cap to be removed from a container, piston and cylinder motor means on the body and connected to swivel the arms to grip and release the cap, a probe in the form of a plunger which is carried by the body for movement lengthwise of said axis relative to the body and which is capable of entering the neck portion of the container, a conduit for conducting pressure fluid to said motor means to operate it, and a valve in said conduit, said probe plunger being connected to open the valve on movement of the plunger relative to the body due to 1~ ~
~ ~ ;D~ 2 - 7j~
~. .
104;~676 ,contact of the plunger with a cap on the container to actuate the arms and tools to grip the cap.
According to a preferred feature of the invention, .~aid means for operating the arms comprises piston and cylinder motors on the body, a pressure fluid supply conduit to the motor cylinders having therein a valve which is initially closed but which is adapted to be opened by -, - 2a -, ,, 1~4~
said ~.ovement of t-he probe relative to tha body ~Jhen the probe abuts the t-op of a cap.
According to another pref~rred feature of the invention, each of said arms has associated with it an individual adjustable stop for liriting the extent of inward radial movement towards the cap of the tool carried by that arm, One embodiment of the in~rention will no~ be described by way of example with reference to the accompany-1~ ing drawings in which:
Figures lA and lB to~ether show in axial section partof a de-cap~ing machine according to the invention, ~ igures 2 and 3 are local sectional vie~ls on the lines 2-2 and 3-3 respectively of Figure lB, and ~ igures 4 and 5 are respectively fragmentary section~ v~Pws on the lines 4-4 an~ 5-5 ~f ~igure lB.
Re~erring to the drawings, reference numeral 3 indicates one of a number of head carriers mounted, in circumferentially spaced relation, in respective vertical slides 3a on a turret which rotates a~out a central vertical axis. Each head carrier 3 is suspended from a cam follo~Jer 4 which en~aOes in a fixed cam track (not shown) extendin~
about the turret axis and ~hich is moved up and do~m by its engagement in the cam tracX as the head carrier moves roun~
the turre~ &xis on a rotary frame, causing the head carri~r to moYe correspondingly in its slide on the turret. ~ach carrier 3 carries in bearings 5 a ~ertical rotary spindle lC
having 2n elongate pinion 6 secured to it which meshes with .
. ,.
a fixed gearwheel 7 centred on the central axis of rotatlon so that the spindle spine as it is carried round the central axis by the turret and head carrier. The spindle has a central passage 11, and the top end of the spindle is received in a socket~8 in the head carrier. The socket, and hence the central passage 11 of the spindle 10, is connected through a flexible pipe 9 alternately to a source of air under pressure and to exhsust by a valve in timed relationshlp to the position of the splndle in its movement about the turret axis.
A flange 12 at the lower end of the spindle 10 is engaged by a nut 13 which is in screwed arrangement with one part 14 of a two-part body. The body part 14 is annular to provide a continuation of the central air passage 11 of spindle 10, leakage of the air being preventedlby an 0-ring clamped between the flange 12 and the upper end of body part 14. A drive pin 17 serves to transmit the rotary drive from the spindle 10 to the body.
The second body part 18 is axially slidably mounted on a reduced diameter portion 19 of body part 14 and is urged downwardly with respect to body part 14 by three springs 20 disposed about respective drive bolts 21 which extend sli'dably upward ~hrough holes in the body part 18 and are secured in threaded sockets in body part 14. The heads of bolts 21 and a circlip 18a disposed in a groove at the lower end of the body part 14 limit the downward movement of part 18 relative to psrt 14.
The body part 18 has three radially outwardly facing cylinders 22 equl-angularly spaced about its central axis _4_ ~04'~f~76 and a piston 23 engaged in each cylinder has axis slots in its skirt to accommodate part of a lever arm 24 which ; is disposed in an axial slot 25 in the external surface of the body part 18. Each arm is mounted on a pivot pin 26 carried by the body part 18 and extending across the slot 25.
A part-cylindrical pro3ection 27 on the arm provites the contact surface for engaging the piston, and the contact surfaces are held against~the pistons by springs 28 (Figures lB ant 2) which extend between posts 29 on ad~acent arms 24. At the inwsrd extremities of their radial movement, the plstons abut the inner ends of the cylinder.
The lower end of each arm 24 extends below the lower extremity of the body part 18 and carries a tool 30. The three tools are adapted for 3Ointly gripping the cap 31 to be removed from a bottle or other container. The tool is mounted on the lower end of the arm 24 by a horizontal bolt 33 and can swivel a small amount about the bolt to enable it to adapt to caps which are askew on their containers. The front face of the tool has a part-cylindrical groove 35 provided with vertical serrations for frictional engagement with the periphery of the cap. The swivelling of the tool allows the front face thereof to face horizontally or with 8 small downward inclination.
Radial inward movement of each tool 30 is individually ad3ustable by means of a stop-screw 36 which is in screwed engagement with the arm. The inner end of the screw comes lnto butment ~Ith the radlal t~ll of the slot 25 and the _5_ ~4'~ 7~
screw can be secured in any selected positi~n by means of a lock-nut 37.
, . _ ... .
A probe 38 the lower end of wh~ch pro~ects below the body part 18 is slidably mounted in the central bore of part 18 and is sealed with respect to the bore by an 0-ring 39. The probe has a stem 40 of reduced diameter which forms with the wall of the bore an annular extension lla of the central air passage 11, which communicates with the three cylinder bores 22 through respective radial passages 41 and axial grooves 41a in the stem 19 and radial passages 42 in the body part 18. Passage 42 opens to ~he ¢ylinder opposite a depression in the crown of piston 23, At its upper end the stem of the probe has a flange 44a to which is bonded a rubber sealing ring 44. The ring forms a seal with an annular shoulder 18b in the bore of body ,part 18 to close off communication bet~een the air passage 11 - and its extension lla. A spring 38a seated against a shoulder in drive spindle 10 acts against the flange 44a 80 as normally to hold sealing ring 44 on its seat, In o~eration of the machine, containers with screw caps wr.ich are to be removed are fed underneath successive de-capping units as the units in their movement about the turret axis pass a loading station. During .urther move-ment of the unit round the tur~et axis, passage 11 is connected to a supply of air unde'r pressure and the spinning drive spindle is lowered bodily towards the container by the operation of the fixed cam track and the .
,, ,, ~.
~Q~ 6 cam follower on the head carrier. During t~e first part of this downward movement of the drive spindle, the probe 38 comes into abutment with the cap to be removed ~hich thus prevents further do~nward movement of the probe, and as downward movement of the drive spindle continues the sealing shoulder 18a moves downward away from the sealing rin~ 44, compressing sprin~ 46 and allowing air under pressure to flow from passage 11 along the extension lla and through the radial passages 41, axial grooves 41a and radial L0 ` passages 42 into the cylinders 22 to move the pistons radially outward and thus bring the shoe 34 into clam?ing engagement with the skirt of the screw cap. The spinning of the drive spindle unscrews the cap and the resvltinO
upward force applied to the tools and arms 24 causes the body part 18 to move upward relative to the body part 14, compressin~ springs 21. The upwàrd movement of the cap, still gripped by the tools, also pushes the probe upward, and continues until the cap is fully unscrewed and rests on the container. As the rotation of the turret proceeds the ~ixed cam track and cam follower 4 lift the head carrier so that firstly the body psrt 14 is lifted and spring3 21 return body part 18 to its initial position relati~e to body part 14, and subsequently the gripped cap is lifted clear of the container as the upward movement ol the head carrier continues. At an u~loading station in the rotation of the head carrier about the turret axis, the container i~
remo~ d from underneath the head carrier, for example by operation of a star wheel, and at the loading station , ~'.
. 104~6 1 6 another bottle to be de-capped comes into ~lace beneath the head carrier. At a selected station between the unloading and loading stations, the central air passage 11 in the dri~e spindle is opened to exhaust through pipe 9, 80 that the arms 24 are returned to their starting positions by springs 28, releasing the cap from the grip of the shoes, which in turn allows the probe to be returned to its lowermost position by spring 38a so as to replace sealing ring 44 on its seat.
LO If there is no cap on the container, the probe meets no resistance during its do~nward mo~ement and consequently does not lift the sealing ring 44 to admist air to the motor cylinders. The tools 30 are therefore not moved inward by the arms 24, and the risX of damage to the container and the machine is avoided.
