Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Aufrechterhaltung der Position hängend geförderter Flaschen, insbesondere PET-Flaschen, mit mit Förderansätzen versehenen Kettengliedern zweier im Wesentlichen parallel laufender Förderketten, wobei die Tragansätze einen nach außen weisenden Tragring am Flaschenhals untergreifen.The The invention is directed to a maintenance device hanging from the position funded Bottles, in particular PET bottles, with conveyor links provided with chain links two substantially parallel conveyor chains, the Tragansätze a outward under the pointing support ring at the bottleneck.

Transportsysteme, die z.B. PET-Flaschen hängend transportieren, wobei Förderketten mit Greifansätzen randseitig unter Kragen an den Flaschenhälsen greifen, sind beispielsweise aus der DE-201 14 960-U oder der entsprechenden EP-1 295 819-A bekannt. Etwas andere Lösungen sind aus der EP-0 466 278-A , der EP-0 805 117-A , der EP-1 277 677-A , der WO 01/85580-A oder der DE-35 15 353-A bekannt. Je nach Fördergeschwindigkeit, nach Gewicht und nach Gestaltung der PET-Flaschen kann die Gefahr bestehen, dass die Flaschen in ihrer Bewegungsbahn aus der optimal hängenden Position sich schräg verkanten. Dies kann zu großen Reibungswiderständen während des Transportes führen, im schlechtesten Fall zur Zerstörung des Flaschenhalses und/oder zur Zerstörung der entsprechenden Förderketten bzw. deren Aufhängungen.Transport systems that transport PET bottles, for example, hanging conveyor chains with gripping approaches at the edge under collar on the bottle necks, for example, from DE-201 14 960-U or the corresponding one EP-1 295 819-A known. Somewhat different solutions are out of the box EP-0 466 278-A , of the EP-0 805 117-A , of the EP-1 277 677-A , of the WO 01/85580-A or the DE-35 15 353-A known. Depending on the conveying speed, the weight and the design of the PET bottles, there may be a risk that the bottles will tilt at an angle in their path of movement from the optimally suspended position. This can lead to large frictional resistance during transport, in the worst case to the destruction of the bottle neck and / or destruction of the corresponding conveyor chains or their suspensions.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Schaffung einer Lösung, mit der das Verkanten der transportierten Flaschen im Förderkanal verhindert wird mit der dadurch gegebenen Möglichkeit, die Transportgeschwindigkeit zu erhöhen.task The present invention is to provide a solution with the tilting of the transported bottles in the conveyor channel is prevented with the possibility given thereby, the transport speed to increase.

Mit einer Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass oberhalb des durch die Tragansätze der im Wesentlichen parallelen Förderketten gebildeten Transportkanales eine den jeweiligen Flaschenköpfen zugeordnete Gleitschiene vorgesehen ist.With a device of the type described is this task according to the invention thereby solved, that above that through the support lugs of the substantially parallel Conveyor chains formed Transport channel a the bottle heads associated slide is provided.

Dadurch, dass den Flaschenköpfen eine Gleitschiene zugeordnet ist, haben diese nur einen ganz geringen Spielraum in ihrer Bewegung sowohl senkrecht zur Förderrichtung auszubrechen als auch quer zur Förderrichtung zu Verkanten, da schon bei geringfügigem Verkanten der Flaschenkopf die Gleitschiene kontaktiert und damit von dieser wieder an einem weiteren Aufschwenken gehindert wird bzw. in die gewünschte Förderposition zurückgeführt wird.Thereby, that the bottle heads a slide is assigned, they have only a very small Travel in their movement both perpendicular to the conveying direction break out as well as across the conveying direction to tilt, since even with slight tilting the bottle head contacted the slide and thus from this back to a further swinging is prevented or in the desired conveying position is returned.

Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. So kann vorgesehen sein, die Gleitschiene in ihrer Höhe verstellbar auszubilden, was die Möglichkeit vereinfacht, die Förderanlage auf unterschiedliche Flaschengeometrien umstellen zu können.refinements The invention will become apparent from the dependent claims. So can be provided, the Slide rail in height adjustable, which simplifies the possibility that conveyor system to be able to change to different bottle geometries.

Die Gleitschiene besteht darüber hinaus aus einem hochgleitfähigen Kunststoff, um den bei Berühren der Flaschenköpfe an der Gleitschiene zu überwindenden Widerstand möglichst gering zu halten.The Sliding rail exists above it out of a highly lubricious Plastic to touch when touching the bottle heads to be overcome on the slide rail Resistance as possible to keep low.

Nach der Erfindung kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Gleitschiene insbesondere im Umlenk- oder Weichenbereich in eine Gleitplatte übergeht, um während des gesamten Transportweges der Flaschen möglichst wenig Bereiche im Transportsystem überwinden zu müssen, die ohne Kippschutz mittels der Gleitschiene ausgerüstet sind.To The invention may also be provided that the slide rail in particular in the deflection or switch area merges into a sliding plate, around during the entire transport path of the bottles as little as possible overcome areas in the transport system to have to, which are equipped without tilt protection by means of the slide rail.

Sollten doch Leerstellen aus konstruktiven Gründen notwendig werden, sieht die Erfindung darüber hinaus vor, dass der Aus- und Einlaufbereich der Gleitschiene mit einer Ein- bzw. Auslauframpe versehen ist.Should but blanks are necessary for design reasons, sees the invention above in addition, that the exit and inlet area of the slide with an input or Exit ramp is provided.
