Das Verfahren ist erfindungsgemäss Idadurch gekennzeichnet, dass leder Behälter in eine Kammer eingebracht und die Kammer abgeschlossen wird, dass die Behälter gewärrnt werden, dass der Inhalt jeder Kammer nach einer vorbestimmten Zeit abge saugt und gleichzeitig auf Spuren des s in den Behältern unter Druck stehenden Gases geprüft wird.
Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung Ides Verfahrens besitzt erfindungsgemäss eine eine Heizzone durchquerende Fördervorrichtung für die Kammern und mindestens ein an der lustrittsstelle der Kammern, am Ende der Heizzone, an jede Kammer anschliessbares Gasspürgerät.
Anhand der Zeichnung, die ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung darstellt, wird nachfolgend eine beispielsweise Ausführungsform Ides Verfahrens nach der Erfindung erw läutert.
Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.
Fig. 2 zeigt einen Schnitt durch eine der in Fig. 1 schematisch dargestellten, als Glocken ausgebildeten Kammern.
In Fig. 1 ist ein Hebetisch 1 dargestellt, dem die Behälter, z. B. Aerosol-Dosen (nicht dargestellt) mittels eines Förderbandes 2 zugeführt werden.
Eine in sich geschlossene Rollschiene 4, an welcher die als Glocken ausgebildeten Kammern 3 laufgehängt und bewegbar geführt sind, führt über den Hebetisch 1 hinweg, fällt gegen ein Bad 5 herab, verläuft über das Bad 5 hinweg und steigt anschlie ssend wieder an, um zuletzt zum Hebetisch 1 zurückzukehren. Durch den Hebetisch 1 werden die Aerosol-Dosen nacheinander je in eine als Glocke ausgebildete Kammer 3 automatisch eingebracht und befestigt.
Die zdie Aerosol-Dosen enthaltenden Glocken 3 werden auf Ider oberhalb des gewärmten Bades 5 verlaufenden Rollschiene 4 fortbewegt, wobei, sie in das Bad 5 teilweise eintauchen und dadurch verschlossen werden. Ferner werden die Dosen durch das glewärmte Bad 5, welches eine Temperatur von 60-650C aufweist, erhitzt, um den erforderlichen Prüfdruck in den Dosen zu erhalten. Am Austrittsende des Bades wird an einer Prüfstelle 6 jede Glocke 3 mittels einer nicht gezeigten Zentriervorrichtung und durch einen an der Glocke 3 vorgesehenen Absaugstutzen (siehe Fig. 2) evakuiert.
Die abgesaugte Luft wird mittels eines Gasspürgerätes geprüft, um festzustellen, ob Gas aus der Dose entwichen ist. Gleichzeitig wird jede Dose gezählt.
Ist die Messung negativ, so wird die Glocke e 3 mit der Dose an den - unter einem Winkel von 450 - ansteigenden Abschnitt der Rollschiene 4 aus dem Bad herausgehoben. An einer Ausladestelle 7 wird d die Dose automatisch freigegeben.
Misst hingegen das Gasspürgerät Spuren des ient- wichenen Gases, so wird die Dose, die leck ist, sofort in nachfolgend beschriebener Weise automatisch gelöst und fällt in das Bad 5, dort wo die Rollschiene 4 um 450 ansteigt.
Eine Trennwand 8 dient dazu, die ausgeschiedenen Dosen vom übrigen Teil des Bades fernnu- halten.
Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Glocke weist einen eine Aerosol-Dose 1 enthaltenden Umhüllungszylinder 2. auf, dessen oberer Deckel 3 als Zangenträger für Zangenelemente 4 ausgebildet ist. Diese Elemente 4 dienen zum Festhalten der Behälter während des Prüfvorganges. Oberhalb des Deckels 3 befindet sich ein Gehäuse 5 für eine Spreizvorrichtung, die aus drei Teilen besteht, und zwar aus einem Spreizkonus 10, der mit einem Druckknopf 11 verbunden ist, einer Rückstossfeder 14 sowie einer Ausschaltvorrichtung, die aus einem Ausschaltknopf 12 und einem Arretierstift 13 besteht.
An dem Gehäuse 5 ist ein mit zwei Rollen 6 und 7 versehener Aufhängearm 8 befestigt. Die beiden Rollen 6 und 7 umschliessen teilweise die Rollschiene derart, dass die Glocke sich längs der selben fortbewegen, aber diese nicht verlassen kann.
Die im Deckel 3 vorgesehenen Zangenelemente 4 sind vom Spreizkonus 10 festgeklemmt. Eine nicht gezeigte Vorrichtung, welche pneumatisch, hydraulisch, mechanisch oder magnetisch betätigt werden kann, wird durch einen Impuls des Gasspürgerätes derart gesteuert, dass bei Anwesenheit von Gasspuren der Anschaltknopf 12 eingedrückt und der Arretierstift 13 zurückgezogen wird. Dabei wird der Spreizkonus 10 mit dem Druckknopf 11 durch die Rückstossfeder 14 nach oben gedrückt, so dass die Zangenelemente 4 mittels der Federn 15 gegeneinander gepresst werden. Die aus den Elementen 4 bestehende Zange ist so geöffnet, und die Dose löst sich. Die Glocke weist ferner einen Ansaugstutzen 16 und ein Entlüftungsrohr 17 auf, welches das Flüssigkeitsniveau in der Glocke immer auf der gleichen Höhe hält, wenn die Glocke im Bad eingetaucht ist.
Die Verweilzeit der Dosen im Bad, welche erforderlich ist, um eine zum Messen ausreichende Menge des entwichenen Gases zu erhalten, wird durch EinF stellung der Vorschubsgeschwindigkeit der Glocke auf der Schiene bestimmt und beträgt üblicherweise etwa fünf Minuten.
Method and device for leak testing of containers containing pressurized gas, in particular aerosol cans
The patent relates to a method for leak testing of a pressurized gas containing containers such. B. aerosol cans, and a device for performing the method.
The method according to the invention is characterized in that the container is placed in a chamber and the chamber is closed, that the containers are warmed, that the contents of each chamber are sucked off after a predetermined time and at the same time for traces of the gas under pressure in the containers is checked.
According to the invention, the device for carrying out the method has a conveying device for the chambers that traverses a heating zone and at least one gas detector which can be connected to each chamber at the outlet point of the chambers, at the end of the heating zone.
With reference to the drawing, which shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention, an example embodiment of the method according to the invention will be explained below.
Fig. 1 shows schematically the device for performing the method.
FIG. 2 shows a section through one of the chambers, which are shown schematically in FIG. 1 and designed as bells.
In Fig. 1, a lifting table 1 is shown to which the container, for. B. aerosol cans (not shown) are supplied by means of a conveyor belt 2.
A self-contained roller rail 4, on which the chambers 3 designed as bells are suspended and movably guided, leads over the lifting table 1, falls down towards a bath 5, runs over the bath 5 and then rises again to last return to lift table 1. By means of the lifting table 1, the aerosol cans are automatically introduced one after the other into a chamber 3 designed as a bell and fastened.
The bells 3 containing the aerosol cans are moved on the roller rail 4 running above the heated bath 5, they are partially immersed in the bath 5 and thereby closed. Furthermore, the cans are heated by the heated bath 5, which has a temperature of 60-650C, in order to obtain the required test pressure in the cans. At the outlet end of the bath, each bell 3 is evacuated at a test point 6 by means of a centering device (not shown) and through a suction nozzle (see FIG. 2) provided on bell 3.
The extracted air is checked using a gas detector to determine whether gas has escaped from the can. At the same time, each can is counted.
If the measurement is negative, the bell e 3 with the can is lifted out of the bath at the section of the roller rail 4 which rises at an angle of 450. At an unloading point 7, the can is automatically released.
If, on the other hand, the gas detector measures traces of the escaped gas, the leaked can is automatically released immediately in the manner described below and falls into the bath 5, where the roller rail 4 rises by 450.
A partition 8 is used to keep the discharged cans away from the rest of the bath.
The bell shown in FIG. 2 has a covering cylinder 2 containing an aerosol can 1, the upper cover 3 of which is designed as a tong carrier for tong elements 4. These elements 4 are used to hold the container in place during the testing process. Above the cover 3 there is a housing 5 for an expansion device, which consists of three parts, namely an expansion cone 10 which is connected to a push button 11, a recoil spring 14 and a switch-off device, which consists of a switch-off button 12 and a locking pin 13 consists.
A suspension arm 8 provided with two rollers 6 and 7 is attached to the housing 5. The two rollers 6 and 7 partially enclose the roller rail in such a way that the bell moves along the same, but cannot leave it.
The pincer elements 4 provided in the cover 3 are clamped by the expansion cone 10. A device, not shown, which can be operated pneumatically, hydraulically, mechanically or magnetically, is controlled by an impulse from the gas detection device in such a way that when there are traces of gas, the switch button 12 is pressed in and the locking pin 13 is withdrawn. The expansion cone 10 with the push button 11 is pressed upwards by the recoil spring 14 so that the forceps elements 4 are pressed against one another by means of the springs 15. The pliers consisting of the elements 4 are thus opened and the can is released. The bell also has a suction nozzle 16 and a vent pipe 17 which always keeps the liquid level in the bell at the same height when the bell is immersed in the bath.
The dwell time of the cans in the bath, which is necessary in order to obtain a sufficient quantity of the escaped gas to measure, is determined by adjusting the speed of advance of the bell on the rail and is usually about five minutes.
