Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour le positionnement et l'orientation de capsules de bouteilles imprimées au moyen d'un dispositif pour faire tourner les capsules et d'un lecteur de marques photo-électrique,destiné à être relié, par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit de commutation, à un dispositif d'entraînement ou d'acheminement des capsules de bouteilles.The present invention relates to a device for the positioning and orientation of capsules of printed bottles by means of a device for rotating the capsules and of a photoelectric mark reader, intended to be connected, by means of 'a switching circuit, to a device for driving or conveying the bottle caps.

On connaît déjà un dispositif pour positionner des bouteilles dans une machine d'encapsulage dans lequel une capsule de bouteille imprimée est posée dans une position requise sur une bouteille remplie et fermée,à la suite de quoi on fait subir à la bouteille une rotation jusqu'à ce qu'un lecteur de marques photo-électrique détecte les marques ou repères prévus sur la capsule et immobilise par une impulsion de commande le plateau tournant portant la bouteille.Dans un tel arrangement, la capsule est positionnée sur la bouteille par rotation de cette dernière en tenant compte de l'opération ultérieure de plissement de la capsule de sorte que,le positionnement relatif du motif imprimé de la capsule par rapport à la bouteille n'est pas pris en compte.A device is already known for positioning bottles in an encapsulation machine in which a printed bottle cap is placed in a required position on a filled and closed bottle, after which the bottle is made to rotate up to a photoelectric mark reader detects the marks or marks provided on the capsule and immobilizes by a control pulse the turntable carrying the bottle. In such an arrangement, the capsule is positioned on the bottle by rotation of this last taking into account the subsequent folding operation of the capsule so that, the relative positioning of the printed pattern of the capsule relative to the bottle is not taken into account.

Ceci présente un inconvénient en particulier avec les bouteilles de mousseux ou de champagne, qui comportent un muselet de maintien du bouchon,et qui doivent être munies d'une capsule imprimée,dans la mesure où on ne peut pas exc ure que l'oeilleton ou boucle de verrouillage du muselet ne e situe précisément sur le côté du col de la bouteille où s'e - fectuera le plissement de la capsule.This has a disadvantage in particular with the bottles of sparkling wine or champagne, which include a cradle for holding the stopper, and which must be provided with a printed capsule, insofar as one cannot exc ure that the eyecup or muselet lock loop e precisely located on the side of the bottle neck where 'e - f ectuera wrinkling of the capsule.

La présente invention a précisément pour objet de proposer un dispositif pour le positionnement ou l'orientation de capsules de bouteilles imprimées avant leur mise en place sur la bouteille,pour permettre une opération ultérieure de plissement de la capsule correctement orientée sur la bouteille.The object of the present invention is precisely to propose a device for positioning or orienting capsules of printed bottles before they are placed on the bottle, to allow a subsequent operation of folding the capsule correctly oriented on the bottle.

A cet effet,selon une caractéristique de la présente invention,le dispositif comprend au moins deux tiges de guidage parallèles,espacées l'une de l'autre et inclinées pour permettre l'acheminement coulissant des capsules de bouteilles vers un dispositif de prise,ces tiges étant susceptibles de tourner de façon synchrone autour de leurs axes longitudinaux, un lecteur de marque photo-électrique étant agencé au voisinage des extrémités inférieures des tiges en étant pointé sur la capsule se trouvant dans la position la plus inférieure sur ces tiges.To this end, according to a characteristic of the present invention, the device comprises at least two parallel guide rods, spaced from one another and inclined to allow the sliding routing of the bottle caps towards a gripping device, these rods being capable of rotating synchronously around their longitudinal axes, a photoelectric mark reader being arranged in the vicinity of the lower ends of the rods while being pointed at the capsule being in the lowest position on these rods.

Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, les tiges de guidage comportent une surface supérieure présentant des caractéristiques de frottement statique ou par adhérence. L'angle d'inclinaison des tiges de guidage est compris entre environ 30° et 40°. Ces tiges de guidage sont actionnées, par l'intermédiaire de dispositifs de transmission tels que des courroies, des chaînes ou des roues dentées,par l'arbre d'entraînement d'un moteur d'entraînement commun associé avec un dispositif de freinage et d'accouplement.In a preferred embodiment, the guide rods have an upper surface having characteristics of static friction or by adhesion. The angle of inclination of the guide rods is between approximately 30 ° and 40 °. These guide rods are actuated, by means of transmission devices such as belts, chains or cogwheels, by the drive shaft of a common drive motor associated with a braking device and d 'coupling.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation particulier de la présente invention, on prévoit plusieuts paires de tiges de guidage,disposées les unes derrière les autres pour la mise en place ou le positionnement simultanés de plusieurs capsules.In another particular embodiment of the present invention, several pairs of guide rods are provided, arranged one behind the other for the simultaneous positioning or positioning of several capsules.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description suivante faite en relation avec les dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue de côté d'un dispositif selon la présente invention; et
  • La figure 2 est une vue de l'arriere du dispositif d'actionnement des tiges de guidage et du lecteur de marques photo-électrique.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description given in relation to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a device according to the present invention; and
  • Figure 2 is a rear view of the actuating device of the guide rods and the photoelectric mark reader.

Le dispositif de positionnement de capsules de bouteilles imprimées selon la présente invention comprend un moyen de glissière incliné d'environ 30° par rapport à l'horizontale et constitué de deux tiges de guidage 1 et 2 s'étendant parallèlement à distance l'une de l'autre.Chaque tige de guidage est montée de façon à pouvoir tourner autour de son axe longitudinal comme figuré par les flèches sur la figure 2.Sur les tiges de guidage 1 et 2 est disposée une réserve de plusieurs capsules de bouteilles 3 emboîtées les unes dans les autres et portant chacune un motif imprimé 4 et une marque ou repère 5. La réserve de capsules coulisse sur les tiges inclinées jusqu'à une butée 6.La capsule inférieure peut être alors saisie par un dispositif de prise 7 et posée, comme figuré par la ligne en traits pointillés 9 sur la figure l,sur l'une des bouteilles acheminées en continu au-dessous du dispositif de positionnement.The bou capsule positioning device printed sheets according to the present invention comprises a slide means inclined about 30 ° relative to the horizontal and consisting of two guide rods 1 and 2 extending parallel at a distance from each other. guide is mounted so that it can rotate around its longitudinal axis as shown by the arrows in Figure 2. On the guide rods 1 and 2 is arranged a reserve of several bottle caps 3 nested one inside the other and each carrying a printed pattern 4 and a mark or reference 5. The reserve of capsules slides on the rods inclined up to a stop 6. The lower capsule can then be grasped by a gripping device 7 and placed, as shown by the line in lines dotted line 9 in FIG. 1, on one of the bottles routed continuously below the positioning device.

Pour placer la capsule avec l'orientation correcte sur la bouteille, l'empilement de capsules 3 sur les tiges 1 et 2 est soumis à une rotation autour de son axe longitudinal jusqu'à ce que la capsule inférieure vienne dans la position requise avantd'être saisie par le dispositif de prise.Le mouvement de rotation est imparti à l'empilement de capsules 3 par rotation des tiges de guidage 1 et 2.A cet effet,les tiges de guidage 1 et 2 sont entraînées par un moteur d'entraînement commun 10a couplé à un dispositif de freinage et d'accouplement lob,l'arbre 11 du moteur d'entraînement étant relié cinématiquement aux tiges de guidage 1 et 2 par un système de transmission comprenant des courroies 12a et des poulies à gorge 12b.Un circuit de commutation électrique 13 commande la mise en oeuvre du dispositif de freinage et d'accouplement lOb.To place the capsule with the correct orientation on the bottle, the stack of capsules 3 on the rods 1 and 2 is rotated about its longitudinal axis until the lower capsule comes into the required position before be gripped by the gripping device. The rotation movement is imparted to the stack of capsules 3 by rotation of the guide rods 1 and 2. For this purpose, the guide rods 1 and 2 are driven by a drive motor. common 10a coupled to a braking and coupling device lob, the shaft 11 of the drive motor being kinematically connected to the guide rods 1 and 2 by a transmission system comprising belts 12a and grooved pulleys 12b. electrical switching circuit 13 controls the implementation of the braking and coupling device 10b.

Le circuit de commutation 13 est couplé à un lecteur de marques photo-électrique 14 agencé au voisinage de l'extrémité inférieure des tiges de guidage et pointé sur la marque ou le repère 5 de la capsule la plus inférieure.Dès que,par rotation des tiges de guidage 1 et 2,l'empilement de réserve de capsules 3 est amené dans une position telle que la marque 5 de la capsule la plus inférieure atteigne la zone de lecture du lecteur de marque photo-électrique 14,celui-ci met en oeuvre, par l'intermédiaire du circuit de commutation 13,le dispositif de freinage lOb et interrompt ainsi la rotation des tiges de guidage 1 et 2.Dès que la capsule la plus inférieure a été saisie par le dispositif de prise et que sa marque ou son repère a quitté la zone de lecture du lecteur de marque 14,le dispositif d'entraînement est de nouveau mis en route pour faire tourner les tiges de guidage 1 et 2 jusqu'à ce que la marque ou le repère de la capsule la plus inférieure suivante vienne de nouveau dans la zone de lecture du lecteur 14.The switching circuit 13 is coupled to a photoelectric mark reader 14 arranged in the vicinity of the lower end of the guide rods and pointed at the mark or mark 5 of the lowest capsule. As soon as, by rotation of the guide rods 1 and 2, the reserve stack of capsules 3 is brought into a position such that the mark 5 of the lowest capsule reaches the area of reading of the photoelectric mark reader 14, this implements, by means of the switching circuit 13, the braking device 10b and thus interrupts the rotation of the guide rods 1 and 2. As soon as the capsule la was taken by the gripping device and its mark or mark has left the reading zone of the brand reader 14, the driving device is again started to rotate the guide rods 1 and 2 until the next lowest mark or mark on the capsule returns to the reader 14 reading area.

Comme on le voit également sur la figure l,on prévoira avantageusement au moins deux disposifs de positionnement de capsules imprimées agencés l'un après l'autre pour accélérer le positionnement ou l'orientation et la mise en place des capsules sur les bouteilles.As can also be seen in FIG. 1, advantageously there will be at least two positioning devices for printed capsules arranged one after the other to accelerate the positioning or the orientation and the positioning of the capsules on the bottles.

Comme également représenté sur la figure l,les bouteilles remplies et fermées 8 sont acheminées de façon à se déplacer le long du dispositif de positionnement des capsules dans la direction longitudinale de ce dernier.Au moyen d'un dispositif d'orientation de bouteille 15,disposé en amont,les bouteilles peuvent être tournées lors de leur transport longitudinal,de façon que la boucle de fil métallique 16 servant au verrouillage du muselet 18 mis en place sur le goulot et le bouchon de la bouteille vienne dans une position ou une orientation correspondant à la position ou l'orientation requise du motif imprimé 4 des capsules de bouteille ultérieurement mises en place sur le goulot.As also shown in FIG. 1, the filled and closed bottles 8 are conveyed so as to move along the capsule positioning device in the longitudinal direction of the latter. By means of a bottle orientation device 15, arranged upstream, the bottles can be turned during their longitudinal transport, so that the metal wire loop 16 used to lock the wire cap 18 placed on the neck and the bottle stopper comes into a corresponding position or orientation at the required position or orientation of the printed pattern 4 of the bottle caps subsequently placed on the neck.

Le dispositif pour le positionnement ou l'orientation de capsules de bouteilles imprimées selon l'invention est associé à un dispositif de plissement de capsule 19 agencé de façon que le plissement de la capsule s'effectue en fonction de la mise en place orientée des capsules afin que, selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, la boucle de verrouillage 16 du muselet vienne dans une position qui sera confondue avec le motif imprimé 4 de la capsule, les lignes de plissement étant prévues des deux côtés de l'inscription ou du motif imprimé de la capsule.The device for positioning or orienting capsules of printed bottles according to the invention is associated with a capsule folding device 19 arranged so that the folding of the capsule takes place as a function of the oriented positioning of the capsules so that, according to a preferred embodiment, the locking loop 16 of the wire cap comes into a position which will coincide with the printed pattern 4 of the capsule, the fold lines being provided on both sides of the inscription or of the mo tif printed from the capsule.

Quoique la présente invention ait été décrite en relation avec un mode de réalisation, elle ne s'en trouve pas limitée mais est au contraire susceptible de modifications et de variantes qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art. En particulier, les moyens de rotation des capsules acheminées vers le dispositif de prise peuvent être constitués par une partie d'extrémité tournante des tiges de guidage ou par des moyens d'entraînement en rotation associés à ces tiges et coopérant de façon intermittente avec la paroi latérale des capsules. D'autre part, en place et lieu du lecteur op- to-électronique, tout dispositif détecteur-lecteur adéquat par exemple magnétique, peut être utilisé, la forme et la teneur des marques sur les capsules étant déterminées en conséquence.Although the present invention has been described in relation to an embodiment, it is not limited thereto but is on the contrary liable to modifications and variants which will appear to those skilled in the art. In particular, the means for rotating the capsules conveyed to the gripping device may consist of a rotating end part of the guide rods or by means of rotary drive associated with these rods and interacting intermittently with the wall lateral capsules. On the other hand, in place and place of the opto-electronic reader, any suitable detector-reader device, for example magnetic, can be used, the shape and the content of the marks on the capsules being determined accordingly.
