Definitions
- the invention relates to a front table on vascular treatment machines, preferably on vascular or bottle filling machines, and in this case specifically to a front table according to the preamble of claim 1.
- vascular treatment machines such as e.g. Filling machines, capping machines and labeling machines to provide a so-called front table or a machine area with transport elements, via which the vessels to be treated or processed are fed to the treatment station having the treatment organs of the machine or removed from this station after the treatment and removed from the machine .
- the front table thus forms the actual vessel inlet and the vessel outlet of the entire machine consisting of the front table and treatment station, at least two transport elements being provided on the front table for the vessel flow, one of which is used to convey the vessels to the treatment station at a predetermined machine distance or division distance by means of a conveyor belt and inlet screw feeds the vascular treatment machine and one removes the treated vessels from the treatment station and thus from the vascular treatment machine.
- the front table then has at least three transport elements, namely in turn one for feeding the vessels to be filled to the vessel or bottle filling station, one in the form of a transfer element for removing the filled vessels or bottles from the vessel or bottle filling station and for transferring them to the sealing station and to a conveyor belt for removing the sealed containers or bottles from the sealing station and for transferring them, for example, to a subsequent conveyor belt which removes the containers or bottles.
- the above-mentioned transport elements of the front table are each designed as transport stars, each of which has several circumferentially open and evenly spaced at its circumference Has recesses (pockets) for receiving vessels.
- the vessels received by the recesses of the transport stars are each moved on a part-circular conveyor line by the transport stars.
- a securing element is also provided on the part-circular conveyor section of each transport star, which encloses the relevant transport star on its part-circular conveyor section between the transport star inlet and the transport star outlet, the transport star inlet beginning and the transport star outlet the end the part-circular conveyor line.
- these securing elements are outer guide railings or guide curves, each of which forms a stationary guide surface for the vessels which surrounds the relevant transport star on the part-circular conveyor path.
- the distance between the guide surface and the axis of rotation of the respective transport star must be adapted to the diameter of the vessels arranged upright in the recesses of the transport stars.
- FIG. 1 Also known is a front table of the type mentioned at the beginning (US Pat. No. 3,957,145), which (front table) has a transport star at the vessel inlet and at the vessel outlet, the associated securing element of which is not a guide railing, but a free length of a band-shaped element, which as closed loop runs endlessly over rollers provided on the machine frame.
- the invention has for its object to develop a front table of the type mentioned in such a way that while maintaining its basic advantages, as many vessels as possible in the transport path of the at least one transport star are kept free of play and safely even in the event of gaps in the vessel flow.
- the band-shaped element which rotates synchronously with the transport star, presses the receptacles received by the transport star into the recesses of the transport star and holds them there.
- the band-shaped element also acts here as a tensioning strap with which the vessels are clamped in the recesses of the transport star.
- the required tensioning force is achieved by a tensioning device, preferably in cooperation with a certain intrinsic elasticity of the band-shaped element.
- the band-shaped element serving as a securing element lies radially to the axis of rotation of the transport star opposite a circular-cylindrical circumferential surface of this transport star and is under the influence of the clamping force, the band-shaped element can be in the absence of vessels, i.e. If there are gaps in the flow of the vessel, place it against this peripheral surface of the transport star. Even if there are gaps in the flow of vessels, the invention does not lead to malfunctions, but also in this case the vessels in the recesses of the transport star are kept free of play.
- this circular-cylindrical peripheral surface is designed such that the radius (radius) determining this peripheral surface is smaller than the radius determining the circular path of the conveying path of the transport star.
- the peripheral surface is formed on a partial area of the transport star between its top and bottom, at which (partial area) the transport star has a diameter that is less than or at most equal to twice the distance that the closed side of the at least one recess facing the axis of rotation of the transport star of this axis of rotation.
- This design has the advantage that the circular or cylindrical peripheral surface is not interrupted by the recesses of the transport star and is also between two sections of the transport star, where it has a larger diameter, so that even if gaps suddenly appear in the vessel flow and despite the occurring or possible short-term relaxation of the band-shaped element with its length runs perfectly onto the peripheral surface of the transport star.
- the circular cylindrical peripheral surface is designed such that the radius determining this peripheral surface is equal to or greater than the radius determining the circular path of the conveying path of the transport star.
- the band-shaped element runs freely over the rollers, i.e. a separate drive for the band-shaped element is not provided, but this is moved by the transport star by its abutment against the vessels or against the peripheral surface of the transport star. This always results in a synchronous movement of the band-shaped element with the transport star. In particular, a relative movement between the band-shaped element and the vessels is also avoided, so that these are free of vibrations due to their clamping in the transport star and due to the lack of a relative movement between the vessels and the band-shaped element even without their own movement, i.e. can be transported around their high axes without turning. The clamping of the vessels also results in a quiet or low-noise run for the front table. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to drive the band-shaped element from the machine.
- the design is such that a roller, preferably serving as a deflection roller, is provided in the area of the transport star inlet and in the area of the transport star outlet in such a way that the axes of rotation of these rollers are at a radial distance from the axis of rotation of the transport star such that at the transport star inlet and at the transport star outlet, the respective partial length of the band-shaped element lying against the roller there and facing the transport star has a radial distance from the axis of rotation of the transport star, which ensures that the vessels, in particular also the vessels with the largest diameter to be processed, are free of faults on Transport star inlet can be inserted into the recesses or removed from the recesses at the transport star outlet. It is then not necessary to adjust these roles provided at the transport star inlet and at the transport star outlet to different vessel sizes.
- the star on its partially circular conveying path is replaced by a free one
- the length of the at least one band-shaped element is enclosed, ie the band-shaped element is not guided over rollers over this arcuate length.
- the free length of the at least one band-shaped element forming the securing element encloses the associated transport star over an angular range greater than 90 ° , preferably over an angular range of 180 ° , ie preferably over an angular range which is also somewhat larger than the part-circular conveyor path of the transport star, so that the vessels, regardless of their respective diameter, are firmly clamped on the transport star by the length of the band-shaped element.
- the front table has an inlet area 1 on a bottle treatment machine, which otherwise has a filling station and a closing station and is not shown in detail, at which the bottles 2 are conveyed by a conveyor, e.g. via a conveyor belt 3 in the direction of arrow A, i.e. 1, the front table and thus the bottle treatment machine are fed from the left, and an outlet area 4, at which the closed bottles 2 after the treatment (e.g. filling) from the front table to a transporter, e.g. be transferred to a conveyor belt for removing the bottles 2 in the direction of arrow B.

- the upright, unsealed bottles 2 are transferred at the bottle outlet 10 to the filling station 8 or the rotors to the further transport star 11 provided there, which has the function of a transfer star and is rotatably supported about the likewise vertical axis 12 and about this axis in the direction of the Arrow E, that is, in the illustrated embodiment, driven counterclockwise.
- the transport star 11 With the transport star 11, the upright bottles 2 are carried on a pitch circle concentric to the axis 12 over an angular range greater than 180 ° and, in the embodiment shown, one after the other at the inlet 13 of a closing station 14 adjoining the transport star 11 or at its closure members having the rotor passed on.
- the rotor of the closing station 14 is rotatably mounted about a likewise vertical axis 16 and is driven to rotate in the clockwise direction about this axis in the direction of the arrow F, ie in the embodiment shown.
- a further transport star 18 which has the function of an outlet star and is rotatably mounted about the vertical axis 19 and about this axis in the direction of arrow G, ie in the illustrated embodiment is driven to rotate counterclockwise.
- the bottles 2 are carried along a pitch circle concentric to the axis 19, ie in the embodiment shown over an angular range of approximately 180 °, and then at the outlet area 4 of the bottle treatment machine to the one there hand over to the carrier for removing the bottles 2.
- each transport star 7, 11 and 18 are driven synchronously with the rotors of the filling station 8 and the closing station 14, whereby at least the transport stars 7, 11 and 18 have the same basic structure in principle despite their possibly different diameters, i.e. 5, each transport star 7, 11 and 18 consists, for example, of at least two circular disk-shaped elements 20 and 21, each with the same outside diameter, these circular disk-shaped elements being arranged in parallel and at a distance above one another such that the elements 20 and 21 with their surface sides are parallel to one another and with their central axis coaxially with one another and coaxially with the respective axis 6, 12 or 19.
- a hub-like element 23 having a circular peripheral surface 22 ' is provided between these elements, the peripheral surface of which also lies concentrically with the axis 6, 12 and 19 of the transport star in question and on the end faces of the elements 20 and 21 are attached.
- the hub-like element 23 has a smaller diameter than the elements 20 and 21, so that they each protrude radially beyond the circumferential surface 22 ′ with an annular region with a circular circumferential surface 22.
- recesses 25 are formed in the elements 20 and 21 towards the circumference or on the circumferential surface 22, which are usually provided at uniform angular intervals around the circumference of the element 20 or 21 such that each recess 25 in the the upper element 20 is arranged congruently in the vertical direction with a recess 25 in the lower element 21, and so in each case a recess 25 in the element 20 with a recess 25 in the element 21 is used for receiving a bottle 2 and for the circumference of the relevant transport star 7 , 11 and 18 forms open pocket or gap.
- the individual transport stars 7, 11 and 18 each have a plurality of such recesses 25, which are provided on the circumference of the transport star in question at uniform angular intervals.
- each transport star in the area between the upper and lower recesses 25 or on the recesses 25th having circumferential surface between the top and the bottom of the Transportster nes has a circumferential area formed corresponding to the circumferential surface 22 'or 22 circular cylindrical and concentric to the axis of rotation of the transport star.
- V-belts 26, 27 and 28 which replace the usual guide curves or guide railings in transport stars, are each guided via a plurality of rollers 2 designed as V-belt pulleys and via a tensioning roller 31, also designed as a V-belt pulley and provided on a tensioning device 30, such that each is driven by a V-belt 26, 27 and 28 formed, self-contained loop is arranged in a horizontal plane, which is preferably at the height of the peripheral surface 22 of the lower element 21 or at a level approximately in the middle between the elements 20 and 21 of the relevant transport star 7 , 11 and 18 respectively.
- all the loops formed by the V-belts 26, 27 and 28 lie in a common horizontal plane, namely at the level of the lower element 21 or the peripheral surface 22.
- the V-belts 26, 27 and 28 are still so over the Rollers 29 guided that the V-belt 26 with a length 26 'enclose the transport star 7 at its conveying area, the V-belt 27 with a length 27' enclose the transport star 11 at its conveying area and the V-belt 28 with a length 28 'enclose the transport star 18 at its conveying area .
- V-belts 26 and 28 three rollers 29 and a tensioning device 30 with a tensioning roller 31 are used for the deflection or guidance, and for the V-belt 27 four rollers 29 and a tensioning device 30 with a tensioning roller 31, the arrangement of these rollers in detail is made such that a roller 29 serving for deflection is provided at the inlet and outlet of each transport star 7, 11 or 18, ie the relevant V-belt 26, 27 or 28 is deflected there by 180 °.
- the bottom surface of the recesses 25 is larger than the maximum diameter of the bottles 2 to be treated or processed with the bottle treatment machine.
- the further roller 29 or the further rollers 29 and the tensioning roller 31 have an even greater radial distance from the associated transport star so that 29 bottles 2 of different sizes can be processed without making any adjustments to the band-shaped securing elements of the front table, in particular even without adjusting the rollers.
- the bottles 2 are due to the length 26 ', 27' and 28 'of the respective band-shaped element lying opposite the peripheral surface 22 of the lower element 21 and thus at a short distance above the stationary slide Surface 15, on which the bottles 2 slide with their bottom, clamped on the transport star 7, 11 or 18, whereby the clamping and thus the desired quiet transport of the bottles 2 are significantly improved.
- additional guides 24 are provided at the inlet 13 in the transport direction following the length 27 'and at the outlet 17 in the transport direction before the length 28'.
- each roller 29 is freely rotatably supported on a journal 32 about a vertical axis.
- each tensioning device 30 consists of a lever 33 which carries at its free end the tensioning roller 32 which is freely rotatably supported there about a vertical axis by means of a bearing pin 34 and at its other end with a swivel bearing 35 receiving bearing sleeve 36 is provided and with this pivot bearing 35 on a bearing pin 37 is pivotable about a vertical axis.
- the bearing bolts 37 of the tensioning devices 30 and the bearing journals 32 of the roller 29 are provided on the upper side of support plates 39, which are fastened to the upper side of the front table or the machine housing or directly lying on them via conventional supporting bolts, not shown, for example using the there already provided for the usual guide rails.
- two such support plates 38 are provided, namely a support plate for the rollers 29 and the tensioning device 30 of the V-belt 26 as well as for the three rollers 29 of the roller 29 shown in FIG. 1 to the left of the axis 12 V-belt 27 and a support plate 38 for the rollers 29 and the tensioning device 30 of the V-belt 28 and additionally also for the tensioning device 30 and a roller 29 of the V-belt 27.
- these can be preassembled with the rollers 29 and the tensioning devices 30, possibly also with the V-belts 26 and 28, and in this state can be attached to a front table, so that the assembly of the V-belts 26, 27 and 28 formed guiding and securing device is very simple and, if necessary, retrofitting vascular treatment machines already in operation with this device is possible without any problems.
- Each tensioning device 30 also has a spring element 39 which is articulated at one end to the lever 33 between its two ends and at the other end to the associated support plate 38.
- each spring element 39 is formed by a pneumatic cylinder, which in addition to the spring action also gives the possibility of a presetting depending on the size or the diameter of the bottles 2 processed in each case.
- the V-belts 26, 27 and 28 are tensioned in such a way that their lengths 26 ', 27' and 28 'rest against the bottles 2 received by the recesses 25 of the transport stars 7, 11 and 18, respectively in the region of the circumferential side of these bottles 2 facing away from the respective axis 6, 12 or 19, so that the bottles 2 are clamped in the recesses 25.
- This function of the V-belts 26, 27 and 28 is independent of the diameter of the bottles 2 processed in each case, so that bottles 2 with different sizes or with different diameters can be processed without manual presetting of the front table. If there are gaps in the bottle flow, i.e.
- the bottles 2 are conveyed very quietly in the transport stars 7, 11 and 18 without vibration and rotation.
- the latter is particularly important when transferring the filled bottles 2 from the rotor of the filling station 8 to the rotor of the closing station 14.
- the use of the V-belts 26, 27 and 28 results in a particularly low-noise operation of the device.
- the further embodiment shown in FIG. 6 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 1 essentially only in that in this further embodiment, instead of the separate V-belts 26 and 27 for the transport stars 7 and 11, a common closed loop, that is, a Common, self-contained V-belt 40 is provided, which with its lengths 40 'and 40 "encloses the conveying area of the transport star 7 or the conveying area of the transport star 11, that is, the lengths 40' and 40" have the same function as the lengths 26 ' and 27 '.
- a common V-belt 40 for the transport stars 7 and 11 only a single tensioning device 30 with a larger tensioning path adapted to this function is required for both transport stars.
- rollers 29 are also reduced to a total of four for these two transport stars, which results in a significant, constructive simplification.
- the rollers 29, which are provided at the inlet and outlet of the transport stars 7 and 11 and serve as deflection rollers, are retained, but the V-belt 40 has been guided such that the V-belt 40 with its outside the conveying area of the transport stars 7 and 11 lying lengths between the roller 29 provided at the outlet of the transport star 7 and the Inlet of the transport star 11 provided roller 29 or angled via the tensioning roller 31 between the roller 29 provided at the inlet of the transport star 7 and the roller 29 provided at the outlet of the transport star.
- Fig. 7 shows a further embodiment, which differs from the embodiment of Fig. 6 in that in this further embodiment, a common V-belt 41 is provided for the transport stars 7, 11 and 18 and with its lengths 41 'and 41 "not only how the V-belt 40 encloses the conveying areas of the transport stars 7 and 11, but also with its length 41 also the conveying area of the transport star 18.
- the use of the V-belt 41 results in a further design simplification in that only a single tensioning device 30 is used 1, the number of rollers 29 is reduced to eight in the embodiment according to Fig. 7.
- the V-belt 41 has the same course between the inlet of the transport star 7 and the outlet of the transport star 11 like the V-belt 40, but its length corresponds to that on the output ng of the transport star 11 provided roller 29 follows, guided over the tensioning roller 31 of the tensioning device 30 to the roller 29 provided at the inlet of the transport star 18 and extends from the roller 29 provided at the exit of the transport star 18 via two further rollers 29 back to the at the inlet of the Transport star 7 provided roller 29th

- rollers 43 are not held firmly on the machine frame of the front table, but rather are provided on a plate 44 in such an adjustable manner that the distance between the axis of each roller 43 and the axis 6 or 12 of the associated transport star 7 or 11 can be changed so that this distance and thus also the distance of the V-belt 42 at the inlet and outlet of the transport stars 7 and 11 can be adapted to the respective diameter of the bottles 2 processed, ie with the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 to 12, bottles 2 with very different diameters can also be processed (if necessary when the transport stars 7 and 11 are exchanged).
- each roller 43 is rotatably mounted about a vertical axis at one end of a double-armed pivot lever 45, which in turn is fastened on the underside of the plate 44 between its two ends about a likewise vertical axis by means of a bearing element 46.
- the other end of each pivot lever 45 is connected by means of a hinge pin 47 to the one end of an intermediate lever 48 also provided under the plate 44.
