Description

Device for container closure
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of lid to the device of container closure, it is preferable that come to container closure with plastic spiral cover, roll-on cap or crown cork.
Background technology
With lid seal container especially in the beverage situation of fill oxygen sensitive, it is known that: the head zone cavity of each container utilizes noble gas or nitrogen to purge, to be extruded from vessel head area by oxygen.
For rationed nitrogen, for instance, it is known that instilling liquid nitrogen drop through vessel port, wherein, liquid nitrogen evaporates in vessel head area, and the corresponding oxygen extrusion that will wherein comprise.Corresponding dosing mechanism includes nitrogen nozzle, and it is arranged on part circle above each vessel port, thus liquid nitrogen drop can pass opening and instill head zone.Correspondingly, nozzle is set directly at overthe openings, thus with not instilling liquid nitrogen drop while lid seal container.But when applying liquid nitrogen, it is also less desirable for instilling liquid nitrogen while sealing, this is because first should make vaporized nitrogen, in order to extruded by oxygen, sets up each lid afterwards.Correspondingly, here, a part for work angle is for waiting the evaporation of nitrogen drop.Such as, the corresponding system disclosed in EP1651555B1.
Another system known, wherein, gaseous nitrogen sprays into vessel head area by laterally disposed first jet, and by being arranged on the second nitrogen nozzle of opposite side, gaseous nitrogen is sprayed into lid.By this way, extrusion vessel head area and the oxygen in lid.Such as, the corresponding system disclosed in WO2010/087097A1.
Another device for gas treatment head zone and lid is open by JP2004-161350A, wherein, being provided with at this covering the independent nozzle holder between vessel head area, it includes being directed upwards towards nozzle and for purging the downwardly directed nozzle of head zone for what purge lid accordingly.
Summary of the invention
According to known, task of the present invention is in that to optimize further capping processes and oxygen extrusion from head zone cavity.
This task is by having carrying out the device of seal container with lid and solving of feature in claim 1.Dependent claims provides the mode of being advantageously improved.
Correspondingly, the device carrying out seal container with lid includes conveying star-wheel and at least one closure member, and described conveying star-wheel is used for transport box, and described closure member is for the closing containers utilizing conveying star-wheel conveying.Additionally, described device also includes nozzle holder, described nozzle holder has and is blown into being directed upwards towards nozzle and being blown into the downwardly directed nozzle of vessel head area by purging gas of lid by purging gas.According to the present invention, described nozzle holder is arranged on outside the zone of action of described closure member.
Outside being arranged on the zone of action of closure member due to nozzle holder, so can carry out gas treatment at whole capping processes, and the descending motion of closure member can the stage starts in early days.Especially, can vessel head area and lid also can freely close to time start gas treating process, thus nitrogen can be blown into, from tilting lower section, the lid having been located in closure member, and the head zone of the container guided guiding star-wheel can be blown into from inclination top.Nozzle holder owing to including nozzle is arranged on outside the zone of action of closure member, correspondingly can keep the air-flow applied by the nozzle of nozzle holder, until lid is fully mounted on container.
Correspondingly, thoroughly purging reliably and not only occur in the internal cavity that head zone cavity also occurs in lid, thus here can set up anoxia until the atmosphere of anaerobic, the ability of depositing of corresponding filled drink is produced particularly advantageous impact by this.In other words, owing to nozzle holder is outside the zone of action being laterally positioned on closure member, it is possible to keep the air-flow of oxygenless gas during complete capping processes.Correspondingly, the remaining oxygen content in head zone terminates to be few especially afterwards at capping processes in other words after installing lid.
Nozzle holder is preferably so positioned at outside part circle, to realize being blown into nitrogen head zone and lid.In an alternative means, nozzle holder is correspondingly also so arranged within part circle, to realize being blown into accordingly nitrogen.
Nozzle holder extends past an angle part preferably along part circle, and this angle part can access the position of each lid until lid installs stretching, extension between the position sealed completely in other words completely.Nozzle holder especially preferably extends past this angular range.By the corresponding long effect section of gas, correspondingly, it is possible to effectively by oxygen from head zone and lid extrusion, until with covering complete seal container.Meanwhile, based on the corresponding long airflow function time, it is also possible to reduce being blown into pressure or being blown into speed of gas.
Nozzle holder preferably has multiple gas nozzle being directed upwards towards accordingly, to blow air into lid.In addition it is also preferred that be provided with multiple downwardly directed gas nozzle, to blow air into vessel head area.
In particularly preferred mode of texturing, nozzle is arranged along nozzle holder with different angles, to realize alignedly being blown into lid and vessel head area as far as possible.By in the Cover whirling Machine in vinyl cover twist-on to bottle, container generally sentences double altitudes guiding movement in neck ring, and on the contrary, closure member drops in vessel port together with screw lid contained therein.Correspondingly, gas nozzle is preferably arranged in such a way: the underlying gas nozzle always angle of alignment vessel head area is equally arranged on nozzle holder, but the nozzle above of cover alignment is arranged with different angles so that air-flow followed by the descending motion of lid.So, compared with when terminating with gas treatment, it is directed upwards towards nozzle and is directed upwards towards more obliquely when gas treating process starts.
In a preferred refinement, the additional ring being directed upwards towards is arranged on the top being directed upwards towards nozzle around purge nozzle, and/or downwardly directed additional ring is arranged on the lower section of downwardly directed nozzle around purge nozzle, and/or additional ring is arranged on around purge nozzle and is directed upwards towards between nozzle and downwardly directed nozzle.Can provide a kind of around the purging gas curtain (Sp ü lgasvorhang) covering and treating seal container region by these additional rings around purge nozzle.So, when the actual sealing of container, also can try one's best when lid opposed open moves and even thoroughly utilize purging gas (being preferably noble gas) to realize isolation.Can reducing and even avoid when seal container owing to occurring that eddy current makes outside air enter container, that can improve filled drink accordingly further deposits ability.
For the angle extension of nozzle holder, additional ring is preferably positioned only in a part for nozzle holder around purge nozzle.The danger polluting container because outside air enters container is the highest when decline process terminates, this is because leave container by purging the outside air that no longer can make with post-purge of gas.It is thus preferable to additional ring is arranged in such angular range of nozzle holder around purge nozzle, described angular range is corresponding to the end of the decline process of lid to vessel port.Gas is purged in this way it is possible to save when decline process starts.
Additional ring particularly preferably constructs by this way around purge nozzle: with from compared with being directed upwards towards the purging gas that nozzle and/or downwardly directed nozzle flow out, the purging gas flowed out around purge nozzle from additional ring has more weak flowing.This more weak flowing is preferably by selecting additional ring to obtain around the respective diameters of purge nozzle.Due to the momentum that the more weak flowing of eluting gas is less in other words, blow away outside air by very mild flow of purge gas, purging gas atmosphere will not be destroyed.
About this, additional ring around purge nozzle can by be directed upwards towards the purging gas delivery section that nozzle and downwardly directed nozzle separate and obtain supply, described purging gas delivery section is preferably able to be subjected to less purging gas pressure.Can connecting another purge gas source according to advantageous manner on purging gas delivery section separately, this another purge gas source provides another pressure or provides another to purge gas or noble gas.But, purging gas delivery section separately can also be connected in the first purge gas source by air relief valve.
Clean region accordingly by additional can also expanding in cleaning process around purge nozzle, apply cleaning solution to some equipment region or equipment surface targetedly.Such as, being directed upwards towards nozzle can to spray in blocking head, and the additional ring being directed upwards towards sprays to blocking head around purge nozzle from outside.
Be arranged between lid and container with nitrogen nozzle compared with, by realizing, outside the nozzle holder with nozzle being arranged on the zone of action of closure member, the closure member that earlier declines.Correspondingly, at this, the angle part for purging head zone and lid of part circle also diminishes and reduces in other words, such that it is able to improve the efficiency of sealing machine.
Additionally, the nozzle between container and lid can be arranged on by longer airflow function time period and comparing substantially more gently to be blown into nitrogen and reduce the pressure or flowing velocity that purge gas, thus can avoid by this way making product splash out from each container because spraying into gas.
In a particularly preferred mode of texturing, nozzle holder has the valve for applying such as cleaning foam or heat alkali liquid cleaning solution.By this way can completely cleaning nozzle support together with nozzle mounted thereto, it is also possible to corresponding import pressure time apply cleaning solution again by nozzle holder nozzle to conveying star-wheel, apply cleaning solution to closure member in particular from below.Not only effectively cleaning, with the nozzle holder of nozzle, also effectively cleaning of whole device by this way.

Detailed description of the invention
Below with reference to accompanying drawing, preferred embodiment is described.Here, identical accompanying drawing labelling instruction identical, similar or act on identical parts, and sometimes eliminate the repeated description to these parts in the following description, in order to avoid tediously long.
Fig. 1 schematically shows the cross-sectional view of the part of the device carrying out seal container 2 with lid 3.Container 2 has an opening 20, lid 3 should twist-on on opening 20.For this, lid 3 preferably has female thread 30, itself and the corresponding external screw thread twist-on in container 2 opening 20 region.
Head zone 24 is arranged in the region between " opening 20 " and " pouring into the liquid level 22 of product in container 2 ", and this head zone is originally equipped with the outside air from filling apparatus.Lid 3 has the internal cavity 32 being originally also provided with outside air therein.
Being provided with nozzle holder 4, it has the nozzle 40 of upwards jet flow for being infused in the cavity 44 of nozzle holder 4 or nozzle holder 4 to lead the gas of flowing.At this, the orientation being directed upwards towards nozzle 40 makes air-flow inject the internal cavity 32 of lid 3.
Additionally, also set up downwardly directed nozzle 42, it is oriented so that the air-flow leaving nozzle 42 injects the head zone 24 of container 2.
At this, the height of nozzle holder 4 is arranged in such a way: nozzle 40,42 preferably keeps approximately equivalent spacing with each entrance (that is, opening 20 and lid 3 is uncovered) when purge starts.During capping processes, lid 3 drops on the opening 20 of container 2, thus at this, changing with the spacing of nozzle holder 4.
According to Fig. 1 it is also seen that nozzle holder 4 is constituted according to the form of ring segment, it has such radius: nozzle holder 4 is positioned at outside opening 20 and outside lid 3.In other words, lid 3 can drop to opening 20, and the decline of lid 3 will not be counteracted by nozzle holder 4.
To this, the diamond shape of the nozzle holder 4 that Fig. 1 illustrates has also functioned to effect, and this shape correspondingly has reduction section in region up.This reduction section can be mated with the external dimensions of closure member.Correspondingly, it is also possible to also set up nozzle holder 4 when covering 3 and being completely installed on the opening 20 of container 2, it is correspondingly also supplied and purges air-flow.
At this, nozzle holder 4 is configured to: nozzle holder 4 is also formed in outside covering 3 zones of action of closure member (Fig. 1 is not shown) carrying out seal container 2.Such as, Fig. 2 providing this setup, accordingly, each closure member 6 can drop on each container 2 completely, in order to sets up lid 3, and will not bump against with nozzle holder 4 at this.
Nitrogen (that is, N is preferably used2) the purging gas of nozzle 40,42 is flowed to as the inner space 44 by nozzle holder 4.Other suitable gas, especially noble gas can be used for purging.
Fig. 1 illustrates that two additional rings are around purge nozzle 41 and 43, and they are arranged on nozzle holder 4.Additional ring is arranged on the top being directed upwards towards nozzle 40 around purge nozzle 41, and additional ring is arranged on the lower section of downwardly directed nozzle 42 around purge nozzle 43.Additional ring is a kind of around the purging gas " heavy curtain " covering 3 and opening 20 for constituting around purge nozzle 41,43, in order to reduces time in capping processes by covering the relative motion of 3 and opening 20 and forming eddy current or avoids outside air entrance container 2.
At its diametrically, additional ring can be adjusted so that very mild purging air-flow blows away outside air from seal region around purge nozzle 41,43.At this, the additional ring shown in Fig. 1 is connected to the cavity 44 guiding purging gas of nozzle holder 4 around purge nozzle 41,43.
Alternatively, however, transfer rings can be arranged in unshowned mode of texturing in nozzle holder 4 around another passage purging gas.Such as, this another passage can connect another purge gas source with another purging gas and/or another pressure.In another alternative, this another passage can also be connected in the first purge gas source by air relief valve, thus being here merely provided for purging another pressure of gas.By this way, the purging gas discharged around purge nozzle 41,43 from additional ring can have less flow velocity, and then has less momentum, thus, the purging gaseous environment around seal region being thusly-formed will not be lost.
Additional ring is also advantageous in that around purge nozzle 41,43, can apply cleaning agent targetedly to other surfaces by them.Such as, it is directed upwards towards nozzle 40 to spray in closure member 6, and additional ring sprays to closure member 6 around purge nozzle 41 from outside.Thus desirable cleaning effect can be determined targetedly or desirably clean region.
For extending (Winkelerstreckung) with regard to the angle of nozzle holder 4, additional ring preferably can only be arranged in a part for this nozzle holder 4 around purge nozzle 41,43.The risk factor polluting container 2 because outside air enters container 2 is the highest when decline process terminates, this is because leave container 2 by purging the outside air that no longer can make with post-purge of gas.Thus additional ring is preferably provided in such angular range of nozzle holder 4 around purge nozzle 41,43: this angular range is corresponding to the end of the decline process of lid 3 to container 2 opening 20.Purging gas can be saved by this way when decline process starts.
Fig. 2 illustrates the exemplary device 1 for seal container with schematic perspective, wherein, and not shown container herein.Container generally utilizes the conveying star-wheel 5 schematically shown to carry.In the conveying star-wheel 5 of Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment, container is kept by its corresponding neck ring, and utilizes conveying star-wheel 5 correspondingly guiding movement in circle.The corresponding receiving channel for vessel port in conveying star-wheel 5 is arranged over closure member 6, utilizes closure member 6 to be positioned in vessel port 20 by lid (lid 3 as shown in Figure 1).
For this by cover accordingly by access wheel 60 deliver to closure member 6 part circle, at tangential intersection point place, by the downward movement of closure member 6 from access wheel 60 take off corresponding lid, be subsequently lowered to vessel port and coupled.
Closure member 6 is set in the embodiment shown, with by plastic screw cap twist-on to PET bottle.But other closure member 6 in this arrangement be also it is contemplated that, for instance for rolling the closure member of roll-on cap or for applying the closure member of crown cork.
Nozzle holder 4 is arranged in the angle part of part circle, and wherein, the corresponding angle part of part circle is selected such that air-flow can inject the head zone cavity treating seal container, and equally possible lid in Already in closure member 6 applies air-flow.Accordingly, the N that outside air oxygen in other words is not only also flowed into from the cavity limited by lid from head zone2Gas is expelled from.
Outside nozzle holder 4 is arranged on the zone of action of closure member 6, although utilize the nozzle 40,42 being arranged in nozzle holder 4 and additional ring to provide air-flow around purge nozzle 41,43, still can implement the capping processes of container.In other words, when there are nozzle holder 4, closure member 6 can also perform the elevating movement needed for capping processes completely.Correspondingly, gas purging with whole capping processes, can be completely installed in vessel port at least up lid.Thus achieve: the remaining oxygen in the head zone cavity of the container so closed is little.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, in a mode of texturing preferably, nozzle holder 4 has such downwardly directed nozzle, in order to air-flow is blown into vessel head area, i.e. preferably in occurring constant air-flow in constant angle situation.
Because lid 3 declines together with closure member 6, in order to can will cover 3 twist-ons to the container, so the preferably such change of the orientation being directed upwards towards nozzle in nozzle holder 4: in the best way corresponding air flow is blown into internal cavity all the time that limited by lid.
Correspondingly, the nozzle that is directed upwards towards being arranged in nozzle holder 4 can along nozzle holder 4 whole length orientation by different way.Additionally, the cross section of nozzle holder 4 can vary along its length, thus (such as) can generally keep impartial along the whole length of nozzle holder from the flowing of each nozzle.
Although Fig. 2 illustrates an advantageous version mode below, i.e. outside nozzle holder 4 is arranged on part circle (vessel port and closure member 6 guiding movement on this part circle), but in a mode of texturing, nozzle holder 4 can also arrange inner side, i.e. is positioned within part circle.
Fig. 3 illustrates the schematic plan of container closure device 1, wherein it is possible to see each closure member 6.Seal container is treated by inputting star-wheel 70 and output star-wheel 72 conveying.Lid can be delivered to closure member 6 by accessing wheel 60.
Also illustrate schematically nozzle holder 4, it has upwards, the respective nozzle of Jet with downward flow direction 40,42, in order to will purge the head zone cavity that gas sends into container and the internal cavity limited by lid.As it is shown on figure 3, nozzle holder 4 extends past the relatively wide angular range of this part circle, such that it is able to gas will be purged (be preferably N2) be not only blown into head zone and be also blown into by the internal cavity that constitutes of lid, until lid is fully mounted in vessel port.Through this it is achieved that enter lid or head zone cavity after purge terminates almost without oxygen.
Fig. 3 also schematically shows valve 8 on nozzle holder 4, and this valve 8 allows to be incorporated in the cleaning loop (so-called cleaning " cleaning-in-place " on the spot) of device 1, in order to utilize heat alkali liquid, foam or other cleaning solution flooding nozzle supports 4.Correspondingly can from cleaning inside nozzle holder 4, whole nozzles 40,42 and additional ring may be by cleaning solution around purge nozzle 41,43 and thoroughly clean.By simple geometry as shown in Figure 1, it is also possible to simply from exterior washings cleaning nozzle support 4 in other words, this can accumulate in horizontal plane thereon especially because be not provided with cleaning solution.
Additionally, when applying cleaning medium to nozzle holder 4, it is possible to clean lower surface and the conveying star-wheel 5 of closure member 6.Correspondingly, by shown structure, except the favourable operation that oxygen is extruded from head zone cavity, also improve sanitary characteristics simultaneously.
Fig. 4 illustrates that conveying purges the gas layout to each nozzle 40,42.Especially, purge gas and (such as there is the N of 6~8bar malleation2) input at gas access 90 place.By each measurement apparatus and decompressor 92, gas is delivered to corresponding nozzle 40,42 by two sterilizing filter elements 94.The sterilizing being blown into the gas of filter element 94 prevents antibacterial entrance to treat seal container.
Can be applied to being used in this system to the vapours of filter element 94 and nozzle 40,42 nozzle holder 4 sterilizing in other words by sterilizing vapor interface 96.The pressure of corresponding vapours (such as) is 3bar and can be applied in filter element 94 by corresponding transfer pipeline 980, or is directly applied to nozzle 40,42 nozzle holder 4 in other words by transfer pipeline 982.
When also setting up additional ring in nozzle holder 4 around purge nozzle 41,43, also apply to purge gas and sterile medium to them accordingly.
It is also shown for rinsing to the input of nozzle holder 4 its cavity 44 in other words the transfer pipeline 984 of alkali liquor equally.Transfer pipeline 984 is connected with CIP equipment (cleaning-in-place system " cleaning-in-place "), such that it is able to this cleaning process is included in the cleaning loop of device 1.
At this, filter element 94 is constructed so as to, i.e. sterilising filtration N2, such that it is able to by N2It is applied in the sterile equipment of sterile filling beverage.
Correspondingly can also be realized the gas treatment of head zone and lid by described container closure device, until lid is completely installed on container to be sealed, thus significantly reduce, the oxygen that even completely avoids in air is again introduced into.The oxygen deficient atmospheres occurred in vessel head area prevents the oxidation of oxysensible product.
By applying the nitrogen that reduced pressure, it is also possible to cause product to splash when substantially avoiding being blown into nitrogen, this is gently blown into nitrogen is supported also by relative.
And, nozzle holder 4, nozzle 40,42 and additional ring can be crossed around purge nozzle 41,43 by simple stream by the corresponding geometry of nozzle holder 4 and sterilizing steam, heat alkali liquid, foam or other health media, it is also possible to obtain simple and reliable wholesomeness.
As long as being suitable for, all independent feature described in many embodiment just can be mutually combined and/or exchange, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
