Description

Field of application and state of the art

water bottles fall in large numbers in specialized research and testing institutes at. They are to be prepared after use.

• – Eingabe der gebrauchten, teilweise verschmutzten und mehr oder weniger geleerten Flaschen in die Aufbereitungsanlage.
• – Entfernen der Kappen von den Flaschen.
• – Entleeren des Restwassers aus den Flaschen durch Wenden der Flaschen (die Halsöffnung ist nach dem Wenden unten).
• – Reinigen (Waschen und Spülen) der Flaschen. Dies erfolgt in der gewendeten Position. Wasch- und Spülflüssigkeit werden von unten in den Flaschen gesprüht und laufen aus den Flaschen unter Schwerkrafteinfluss wieder heraus.
• – Reinigen (Waschen und Spülen) der Kappen.
• – Zurückwenden der Flaschen derart, dass die Halsöffnungen wieder oben stehen.
• – Befüllen der gereinigten Flaschen mit Tränkewasser von oben.
• – Aufsetzen und Andrücken der gereinigten Kappen auf die gefüllten Flaschen.
• – Ausgeben der bekappten, sauberen, gefüllten Flaschen.

The preparation includes the following processing steps

• - Enter the used, partially polluted and more or less emptied bottles in the treatment plant.
• - Remove the caps from the bottles.
• - Discharge the remaining water from the bottles by turning the bottles (the neck opening is after turning below).
• - Cleaning (washing and rinsing) of the bottles. This takes place in the turned position. Washing and rinsing liquids are sprayed from below in the bottles and run out of the bottles under the influence of gravity.
• - Cleaning (washing and rinsing) of the caps.
• - Turn back the bottles so that the neck openings are up again.
• - Fill the cleaned bottles with water from above.
• - Place and press the cleaned caps on the filled bottles.
• - Issue the capped, clean, filled bottles.

During the The bottles are processed individually or at the plant during preparation other versions are several (eg 2 × 8 = 16 or 3 × 8 = 24) bottles in baskets or summarized in magazines.

Have baskets just the function of keeping a group of bottles together. Magazine have about it In addition, the function defines a group of bottles in the plant respectively and accurately position with the help of other elements on workstations. Magazines are baskets, the for an automatic handling are equipped.

To To remove the caps from the bottles, the caps can be used as bulk or orderly and serial or parallel through the washing and rinsing station until a station where the caps back on the bottles to be put, led become. Also, the procedure is such that the caps from the cleaning system for the Brought out bottles be cleaned separately and then again the Bekappungsstation be supplied.

at a disorderly leadership the caps (as bulk material) the washing success can be uncertain because caps are mutually exclusive Cover and the detergent jet does not reach all surfaces can. In particular, the interior of all drinking tubes of the caps is not defined reachable. To clean caps very well, they should have a defined Position to the washing nozzles have and this for keep the duration of the washing process. The effort, the caps after order to be able to grasp it, and putting them back on the bottles is technically so high that These steps are preferably done by hand and so a manpower tie.

A ordered serial or parallel guidance of the caps requires also a lot of effort, alone, because of the large number of caps and the ever-present small tolerances and at statistically quite numerous at the various stages of processing Deviations are to be expected which are technically to be counteracted, which is connected with no small effort.

Also remains with an orderly cap guide the effort to operate, the caps back to the cleaned and filled To put bottles. The required sensor, management and Positioning, gripping and motion components are also consuming, in particular, as required here, wet-strength and washable accomplished have to be. You need to special cases (such as a missing cap) and can take into account These react so that the plants as rare as possible when they occur of special cases require an intervention.

The known plants for the treatment of water bottles are line plants, d. H. the bottles and also the caps (if not in ancillary facilities cleaned) go through the treatment plant in a line, preferably on the upper strand of a conveyor belt. If auxiliary elements, z. B. carrier for magazines or for Caps, need to find application These are ready at the beginning of the plant, then go through the plant and must from the end back to the beginning are led back, usually on the bottom strand of the conveyor belt. In some systems, such carriers are also by hand at the beginning returned to the plant. Because of the constructive peculiarities are bottles and caps mostly run separately, so a lot of effort for the transport and also for the repatriation of carrier of bottles and caps is necessary.

Criticism of the state of the art:

The described circumstances and demands (their that plants for the treatment of water bottles especially when they work with a high degree of automation, are very complex and therefore very expensive Transport and movement sequences (especially when unpacking and tackling) and the special cases that occur can reduce plant reliability. These reasons lead to semi-automatic systems being preferred. The staff employed there can compensate for special cases, but is physically heavily burdened, and it is the z. T. infectious substances with which the uncleaned bottles and their contents may be subject.

It is the object of the invention, compared to a known solutions essential simpler and cheaper but fully automatic plant for the treatment of water bottles specify.

• – die Anlage ist als Rundtaktanlage ausgeführt.
• – Die Anlage hat einen Mittelblock, drehbar um eine vertikale Achse, in einer bevorzugten Ausführung mit vier um 90° versetzten Aufnahmen, jeweils für ein Magazin (Magazinaufnahme) und für die Kappen (Kappenaufnahme, Kappentablett) der Flaschen eines Magazins.
• – Die Magazinaufnahmen sind am Mittelblock drehbar um eine horizontale Achse. Die Drehung ist um die Querachse des Magazins wie auch um die Längsachse des Magazins möglich. Im Ergebnis einer Drehung um diese Achse zeigen die Flaschenöffnungen, die vorher nach oben zeigten, nach unten. Und: Zeigten sie vor der Drehung nach unten, zeigen sie nach der Drehung nach oben.
• – Eine Magazinaufnahme nimmt die Magazine in einem Magazinträger an, wobei gabelartige Stäbe der Magazinaufnahme die Flaschenhälse umfassen und die Magazine am Boden durch die Magazinaufnahme unterstützt sind.
• – Die vier Aufnahmen des Mittelblockes (A, B, C, D) werden bei dessen schrittweiser Drehung über vier auch jeweils um 90° versetzte, fest stehende Stationen (1, 2, 3, 4) geführt.
• – An der ersten Station erfolgt das Entkappen. Die Kappen werden auf einen an dieser Station am Mittelblock befestigen Rahmen (Kappenaufnahme, Kappentablett) auf definierte Ablageplätze in der Nähe des Magazins abgesetzt.
• – Anschließend wird das Magazin an der Station 1 um ca. 180° um eine horizomtale Achse gedreht, wobei das Restwasser ausläuft. Die Öffnungen der Flaschen weisen dann nach unten. Eine Drehung um die Längsachse des Magazins führt zum gleichen Ergebnis.
• – Der Mittelblock mit den vier Aufnahmen der Rundtaktanlage dreht anschließend um ca. 90°. Das erste Magazin (Aufnahme A) mit den an der ersten Station entkappten und gewendeten Flaschen steht nun an der Station 2, der Waschstation, wie die erste Gruppe der Kappen auch.
• – Eine Haube senkt sich von oben an der Waschstation über das dort stehende Magazin und die zugehörigen Kappen. Die Haube enthält vorzugsweise auch Elemente, die die Kappen an ihren Standorten fixieren, z. B. mittels federnder Elemente, die die Kappen auf die Ablageplätze drücken solange die Haube abgesenkt ist. Die Haube und die Waschstation weisen Düsen usw. auf, mit denen Flaschen und Kappen gereinigt werden. Technisches Vorbild für die Wasch- und Spüleinrichtung können zum Beispiel die Haubenwaschmaschinen der Firma Hobart sein, die mit intensiven Wasserstrahlen Flaschen und Kappen reinigen und mit heißem Wasser nachspülen. Diese Waschmaschinen stellen den bekannten Stand der Technik dar, der mit geringen maßlichen Veränderungen übernommen wird.
• – Nach Abschluss der Reinigungsvorganges hebt sich die Haube und der Mittelblock mit den vier Aufnahmen für Magazine und Kappen dreht sich weiter um ca. 90°. Das erste Magazin der Aufnahme A hat nun die Station 3 erreicht.
• – An dieser dritten Station dreht sich die Magazinaufnahme wieder um 180° um eine horizontale Achse, so dass nun die Flaschen wieder mit den Öffnungen nach oben stehen.
• – Von oben senkt sich nun ein Füllapparat auf die Flaschen und über diesen Füllapparat oder Füller werden die Flaschen mit dem Tränkewasser gefüllt. Geeignete Füllapparate sind Stand der Technik und werden hier nicht weiter beschrieben.
• – Nach dem Füllen dreht sich das Mittelteil wiederum um 90° und so gelangt das erste Magazin in der Aufnahme A mit den gefüllten Flaschen zur Station 4. An dieser vierten Station werden die Kappen von deren Absetzplätzen (Kappenaufnahme, Kappentablett) auf die Flaschen gesetzt und angedrückt. Dann wird das fertige Magazin mit den gereinigten, befüllten und bekappten Flaschen aus der Anlage ausgegeben.
• – Mit einer weiteren Drehung erreicht die Aufnahme A wieder die Station 1 und damit den Ausgangszustand. Inzwischen sind bei kontinuierlichem Betrieb drei weitere Magazine an den Aufnahmen B, C und D aufgenommen worden. Das fünfte Magazin gelangt nun wieder in die Aufnahme A.
• – Entkappen und Bekappen erfolgen vorzugsweise durch Roboter, vorzugsweise durch solche vom Scara-Typ. Statt der Roboter sind auch mehrachsige Positioniersysteme einsetzbar. Roboter oder Positioniersystem tragen ein Werkzeug, das das Entkappen und Bekappen durchführen kann. Derartige Werkzeuge sind bekannt. Zum Entkappen wird Druckluft in die Flaschen geblasen, deren Druck die Kappen abhebt. Zum Bekappen sind die Kappen mittels Vakuum oder mittel mechanischer Greifer zu fassen und auf die Flaschen gedrückt. Beim Entkappen nimmt der Roboter mit dem Lösen durch Druckluft die Kappen von einer Flasche ab und setzt die Kappe auf einen definierten Absetzplatz. Diese Tätigkeit setzt er fort, bis alle Flaschen entkappt sind. Das Entkappen erfolgt auf bekannte Weise, z. B. durch das Einblasen von Druckluft in die Flasche, die die Kappe von der Flasche drückt. Der zum Entkappen eingesetzte Roboter findet auch Anwendung, um das Magazin mit den schmutzigen, bekappten Flaschen von einer vorgelagerten Einrichtung, z. B. einem Stauband, in die erste Magazinaufnahme an der Station 1 zu setzen. Beim Bekappen an der vierten Station nimmt ein Roboter die Kappen nacheinander von deren Absetzplätzen auf und drückt sie jeweils auf eine noch unbekappte Flasche. Fehlende Kappen kann der Roboter von Reserveplätzen holen, auf die vor Arbeitsbeginn einige Kappen von Hand gesetzt wurden. Die Reservekappen können in der Umgebung der Station 4 vorgehalten werden oder jedes Kappentablett weist einige Plätze mit Kappen mehr auf, als für ein Magazin benötigt werden. Der zum Bekappen eingesetzte Roboter findet auch Anwendung, um das Magazin mit den gereinigten, gefüllten und bekappten Flaschen aus der Magazinaufnahme des Mittelblocks an der vierten Station auf eine nachgelagerte Einrichtung, z. B. auf ein abführendes Förderband zu setzen.

This object is achieved by the plant according to the invention for the preparation of watering bottles, which processes magazinated watering bottles, with the following features:

• - The system is designed as a rotary transfer system.
• - The system has a central block, rotatable about a vertical axis, in a preferred embodiment with four offset by 90 ° shots, each for a magazine (magazine holder) and for the caps (cap holder, cap tray) the bottles of a magazine.
• - The magazine holders are rotatable about a horizontal axis on the center block. The rotation is possible around the transverse axis of the magazine as well as around the longitudinal axis of the magazine. As a result of a rotation about this axis, the bottle openings, which previously pointed upward, are pointing downwards. And: Pointed down before rotation, pointing upward after rotation.
• - A magazine holder takes the magazines in a magazine carrier, with fork-like bars of the magazine holder include the bottle necks and the magazines are supported on the ground by the magazine holder.
• - The four shots of the middle block (A, B, C, D) are guided in its stepwise rotation over four also each offset by 90 °, fixed stations (1, 2, 3, 4).
• - At the first station the decapping takes place. The caps are placed on a fixed at this station on the center block frame (cap holder, cap tray) on defined storage spaces near the magazine.
• - Then the magazine is rotated at station 1 by about 180 ° about a horizomtale axis, with the remaining water leaking. The openings of the bottles then point downwards. A rotation around the longitudinal axis of the magazine leads to the same result.
• - The center block with the four shots of the rotary indexing system then turns by about 90 °. The first magazine (receptacle A) with the bottles capped and turned on the first station now stands at station 2, the wash station, as well as the first group of caps.
• - A hood lowers from the top of the wash station on the magazine and the associated caps. The hood also preferably includes elements that fix the caps at their locations, e.g. B. by means of resilient elements that press the caps on the storage spaces while the hood is lowered. The hood and washing station have nozzles, etc., for cleaning bottles and caps. The technical model for the washing and rinsing device can be, for example, the hood washing machines from Hobart, which clean bottles and caps with intensive water jets and rinse with hot water. These washing machines represent the known state of the art, which is adopted with small dimensional changes.
• - After completion of the cleaning process, the hood rises and the center block with the four shots for magazines and caps continues to rotate by about 90 °. The first magazine of the recording A has now reached the station 3.
• - At this third station, the magazine holder rotates again by 180 ° about a horizontal axis, so that now the bottles are again with the openings facing up.
• - From above, a filling device now lowers on the bottles and this filling device or filler, the bottles are filled with the water of tears. Suitable filling apparatuses are state of the art and will not be further described here.
• - After filling, the middle part rotates again by 90 ° and so the first magazine arrives in the receptacle A with the filled bottles to the station 4. At this fourth station, the caps of their Absetzplätzen (cap holder, cap tray) are placed on the bottles and pressed. Then the finished magazine with the cleaned, filled and capped bottles is dispensed from the system.
• - With a further rotation, the recording A reaches the station 1 again and thus the initial state. Meanwhile, three more magazines have been recorded on recordings B, C and D in continuous operation. The fifth magazine now returns to the recording A.
• - Unpacking and biting are preferably carried out by robots, preferably by those of the scara type. Instead of robots, multi-axis positioning systems can also be used. Robot or positioning system carry a tool that can perform the decapping and biting. Such tools are known. To uncouple compressed air is blown into the bottles, the pressure lifts the caps. To cover the caps are by means of vacuum or with to grasp the mechanical gripper and press it onto the bottles. When decapsing, the robot removes the caps from a bottle by releasing it with compressed air and places the cap on a defined settling point. He continues this activity until all the bottles have been decanted. The decapping takes place in a known manner, for. B. by injecting compressed air into the bottle, which presses the cap from the bottle. The robot used for decapping also finds application to the magazine with the dirty, capped bottles from an upstream device, eg. B. a Stauband to put in the first magazine receptacle at the station 1. When tackling at the fourth station, a robot picks up the caps in turn from their Absetzplätzen and pushes them each on a still unflipped bottle. Missing caps, the robot can get from reserve seats on which some caps were set by hand before work. The reserve caps may be stored in the vicinity of the station 4 or each cap tray has some places with caps more than needed for a magazine. The robot used for biting also finds application to the magazine with the cleaned, filled and capped bottles from the magazine holder of the center block at the fourth station on a downstream device, for. B. to put on a laxative conveyor belt.

• – geordneter Lauf von Flaschen und Kappen
• – Kappen bleiben geordnet, kein Aufwand für das Ordnen der Kappen vor dem Aufsetzen notwendig.
• – Die definierte Stellung der Kappen erlaubt eine verlässliche Reinigung
• – Sehr kompakte Bauweise.
• – Wenig bewegte Elemente.
• – Relativ einfach trotz Vollautomatisierung.

The advantages of the proposed solution are:

• - orderly run of bottles and caps
• - Caps remain ordered, no effort required for arranging the caps before touchdown.
• - The defined position of the caps allows a reliable cleaning
• - Very compact design.
• - Little moving elements.
• - Relatively easy despite full automation.

Embodiment:

1

The system has a base frame 2 with a table top 2a on. Some basins are embedded in the table top.

On the input tape 1 The supply of magazines with the capped, partially filled and soiled bottles to the plant.

The magazines are in the example on the still empty cap tray 9 at station 1 in the magazine holder 8th pushed. The magazine holder is in 2 explained. The bottles are then with the caps up in the magazine holder.

The robot 12 , whose gripping tool on the z-axis 13 attached, but not shown here, one by one remove the caps from the bottles and place them on the cap tray 9 from. The cap tray has storage spaces, z. B. depressions, in which the caps are used with low tolerances. Preferably, these storage spaces are formed of wire material. Each cap tray has as many settling places as the magazine with most bottles contains bottles.

At the Middle block are four identical rotatable magazine holders and four same cap trays each offset by 90 ° available.

After removing the caps from the bottles and placing the caps on their trays, the drive rotates 14 for turning the magazines the magazine about its horizontal center axis by 180 °. The magazine sometimes passes through the pelvis 15 at the station 1. This basin also catches the leaking residual water. The open bottle necks point after turning down, the residual water has leaked from the bottles.

If at all stations with the reference numerals 3 to 6 the functions to be performed there are completed, the middle block rotates by 90 °, here in a clockwise direction. The center block can be driven in various ways, for. B. it can be constructed on a known stepping table. In a preferred solution, it is further rotated by a movement of the robot by its force or by the power of several robots.

The considered as an example first magazine so arrives at the station 2, reference numerals 4 , There, a hood lowers above the station, which includes the magazine and the cap tray. The hood preferably has soft seals that cover the interior of the hood against the center block and the base frame 2 with his tabletop 2a caulk. A model according to the state of the art for the hood and acting at the station 2 washing and rinsing devices, for example, a plant UXTH the company Hobart, Offenburg, which must be modified for use on the system described but not fundamentally change , However, the lowering hood contains especially for this application elements, preferably resilient elements that fix the caps on their Absetzplätzen so that they can not be moved by the water forces of the spray. These holding elements for the caps can also be designed funnel-like, with the reverse Turn the funnel from the top onto the caps and add water through the funnel tube pointing upwards.

To Completion of the washing process raises the hood again so far that the magazine holder, the magazine and the cap tray can continue to turn.

After another 90 ° turn, the considered first magazine reaches station 3. Here the drive turns 14 the magazine again about a horizontal axis by 180 °, so that the bottles are then again with the openings upwards. A filling apparatus, not shown, descends from above at this station until its outlet or outlets are close to the bottle opening. The filler then introduces a predetermined amount of drinking water into the bottles. The filler may have a stuffing nozzle, which then has to be passed over each of the bottles, or it may also have as many filling nozzles as there are bottles in a magazine. In the latter case, a transverse movement of the filling nozzles is not necessary. The number of filling nozzles can also be between the two values.

To the filling the middle block continues to turn the first magazine under consideration and this one is then on the station 4. Here is a robot, the caps again on the bottles and pushes she at it. Thus, the bottles are emptied, cleaned, filled and bekappt. The magazine with these bottles will then be removed from the system issued, z. B. on a conveyor belt, that the finished magazines with the cleaned, filled and removes capped bottles.

2 shows a magazine holder and magazines.

2a :

The magazine holder 20 consists of a base plate, which is around the axis 23 is rotatable. The magazine carriers protrude from the base plate 21 on which the magazine with the bottles is pushed. The forks 22 cover the necks of the bottles, but do not touch the caps. The tines are arranged so that their distance from the neck of the bottle is very small. Thus, bottles are held by the magazine and the bottlenecks comprehensive tines. This solution also has the advantage that the magazines do not have to have lids that protect the bottles in the turned state of baskets or magazines from falling out. The lids disturb the users when dispensing and collecting the bottles, and they represent a significant source of interference.

2 B :

In this exemplary illustration is a magazine with 16 Bottles, two of which are missing. The bottles are from the magazine 25 on the magazine carriers 21 holds and stands by the tines, which cover the bottle at the neck. Other elements that fix the magazine can be provided.

2 B :

In this illustration, the magazine is in and with the magazine holder about the axis 23 rotated by 180 °. The bottle openings are now down. Remains from the bottles run out and wash water jets can get into the bottle from below and the water can leak out of the bottles.

A Plant with the described basic structure can also be used with more than four stations or even with less than four stations be.

at Using a robot is the problem that this one both working in the unclean area (decapping) as well as in the clean area (Toggle) must be what is hygienically questionable. One solution is to use two Robots to work. Between station 4 and station 1 separates one Wall the pure and the unclean area from each other. An air curtain can support the separation. A another solution is that a robot with two tools applies. One of these tools is used in the pure sphere, the other in the impure Area. The tools can constantly be connected to the robot, but also a tool changer can be an advantage.

Instead of The robots are also pick-and-place systems with at least three Axles can be used.

In the environment of the station 4 can fixed seats for caps be arranged where from time to time caps used by hand become. When biting is found that less caps on the cap tray are available as bottles must be remembered can insert the choking system, the robot, from here caps.

Around Process bottles of different sizes to be able to the magazine holders are replaceable or the tines are designed adjustable.

The activity of the robot (s) may be assisted by an image capture and processing system. The evaluation of corresponding pictures shows where caps are crooked, missing or deformed or can not be pressed on the bottles.
