Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum automatischen Abfüllen von Flüssigkeiten in Behälter, wie Fässer, Gebinde, die über Transportelemente zuge­führt und den Spundlöchern der Behälter einstellbare Füllköpfe zugeordnet werden, wobei die Behälter auf den Bearbeitungsplätzen entsprechend ausrichtbar sind sowie über einstellbare Behandlungsköpfe in Zuordnung zu den Spundlöchern eine Vor- und Nachbehandlung in Form von Öffnen und Verschließen der Spundlöcher erfolgt.The invention relates to a device for the automatic filling of liquids into containers, such as barrels, containers, which are fed via transport elements and the filling holes of the containers are assigned adjustable filling heads, the containers being able to be aligned accordingly in the processing stations and also being adjustable by means of adjustable treatment heads The bung holes undergo pre- and post-treatment in the form of opening and closing the bung holes.

Derartige Vorrichtungen sind bekannt und dienen dem automatischen Füllen von Fässern. Hierbei werden neben dem eigentlichen Füllen weitere im Zusammenhang mit dem Füllvorgang stehenden Faßbehandlungen über Behand­lungsköpfe vorgenommen, beispielsweise das Aufschrauben und Einschrauben des Verschlusses für das Spundloch sowie gegebenenflls zusätzlich das sogenannte Ver­clinchen, in dem das verschraubte Spundloch noch mit einer zusätzlichen Umhüllung verschlossen wird. Diese Vorgänge laufen in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge ab, wobei die jeweiligen Behandlungsköpfe in Transportrich­tung des Fasses hintereinander über einen Transportweg angeordnet und entsprechend in Eingriff gebracht werden, so daß das Faß nacheinander unter die verschie­denen Behandlungsköpfe transportiert wird. Diese Aus­bildung ist relativ aufwendig und besitzt den Mangel, daß der Transport unter Einhaltung der Zentrierlage genau unter den nächstfolgenden Behandlungskopf er­folgen muß und dieses teilweise auch nach Verlassen des Füllkopfes als schweres gefülltes Faß zu den nachfolgenden Behandlungsköpfen durchzuführen ist.Such devices are known and are used for the automatic filling of drums. In addition to the actual filling, further barrel treatments related to the filling process are carried out via treatment heads, for example screwing and screwing in the closure for the bunghole, and possibly also so-called clinching, in which the screwed bunghole is sealed with an additional covering. These processes take place in a specific order, the respective treatment heads being arranged one behind the other in the transport direction of the barrel via a transport path and brought into engagement accordingly, so that the barrel is transported one after the other under the different treatment heads. This training is relatively complex and has the defect that the transport must be carried out under the centering position exactly under the next treatment head and this is sometimes carried out after leaving the filling head as a heavy filled barrel to the subsequent treatment heads.

Es ist zwar zur Verbesserung bekannt geworden, die einzelnen Behandlungsköpfe über eine Schlittenführung in Faßtransportrichtung dem Faß zuzuordnen. Es wird hierbei zwar der Mangel der Mehrfachzentrierung des Faßes ausgeschaltet, aber es muß in Kauf genommen werden, daß erst der Arbeitsablauf für ein Faß abge­wartet werden muß bis ein weiteres Faß bearbeitet werden kann.To improve, it has become known to assign the individual treatment heads to the barrel via a slide guide in the barrel transport direction. The lack of multiple centering of the barrel is eliminated, but it must be accepted that the workflow for a barrel must first be waited until another barrel can be processed.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zu verbessern und eine einfache Anordnung für die Befüllung unterschiedlicher Behälter mit einer minimalen Anzahl von gesteuerten Antrieben zu schaffen, die auch den Einsatz für mehrere Behälter ohne zusätzliche Behandlungspositionen mit einem platz­sparenden Aufbau ermöglicht und eine individuelle Programmeinstellung mit einer schnellen Anpassung gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to improve a generic device and to provide a simple arrangement for filling different containers with a minimum number of controlled drives, which also allows the use for several containers without additional treatment positions with a space-saving structure and an individual program setting guaranteed with a quick adjustment.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß die einzelnen Behandlungsköpfe über einen Geräteträger als Einheit in Form eines Werkzeuges zusammengefaßt und derart verstellbar sind, daß über eine programmierbare Steuereinheit die einzelnen Be­handlungsköpfe jeweils durch Verstellung des gesamten Geräteträgers in allen Verstellachsen über Stellan­triebe zum Spundloch einstellbar sowie nacheinander die einzelnen Behandlungsköpfe entsprechend den durchzuführenden Arbeitsgängen einrichtbar sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the individual treatment heads are combined via a device carrier as a unit in the form of a tool and are adjustable such that the individual treatment heads can be adjusted via a programmable control unit by adjusting the entire device carrier in all adjustment axes via actuators to the bunghole and the individual treatment heads can be set up in succession in accordance with the work steps to be carried out.

Hierdurch wird der Vorteil erreicht, eine komplette Kapselung der Behandlungsköpfe in einer Einheit zu ermöglichen und nur jeweils einen Antrieb für jede Stellachse vorzusehen. Durch diese Anordnung wird auch eine schnelle Anpassung an unterschiedlichen Behältern möglich und sind auch keine zusätzlichen Behandlungs­positionen erforderlich.This has the advantage of enabling complete encapsulation of the treatment heads in one unit and of providing only one drive for each actuating axis. This arrangement also enables quick adaptation to different containers possible and no additional treatment positions are required.

Eine einfache Antriebsanordnung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß ein Stellantrieb für alle Verstellachsen angeordnet ist, wobei durch zugeordnete Schaltelemente alle Achsbewegungen einstellbar sind.A simple drive arrangement is created in that an actuator is arranged for all adjustment axes, all axis movements being adjustable by means of assigned switching elements.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Geräteträger mit seinen Behand­lungsköpfen mindestens einen Arbeitsbereich für zwei parallele Stränge und zwei hintereinander angeordnete Behälter aufweist. Dadurch wird eine weitere Leistungs­steigerung insbesondere für hoch viskose Medien (lange Füllzeiten) erreicht, denn es können weitere Füll­stränge parallel mit einer Einheit von Behandlungs­köpfen bearbeitet werden. Es kann dadurch auch direkt mit einer mit mehreren ausgerichteten Behältern be­schickten Palette eine Bearbeitung durchgeführt werden. Die Palettierung voller Fässer kann somit entfallen. Die volle Palette wird jeweils abtranspor­tiert und eine neue leere Palette zugeführt sowie mit entsprechend ausgerichteten Behältern beschickt. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, nach Einbringen einer leeren Palette in den Bearbeitungs­bereich, die Behälter einzeln zuzuführen und auszu­richten.In a further embodiment of the invention it is proposed that the device carrier with its treatment heads has at least one working area for two parallel strands and two containers arranged one behind the other. This results in a further increase in performance, in particular for highly viscous media (long filling times), because additional filling strands can be processed in parallel with a unit of treatment heads. As a result, processing can also be carried out directly with a pallet loaded with several aligned containers. Palletizing full barrels can thus be omitted. The full pallet is transported away and a new empty pallet is fed in and loaded with appropriately aligned containers. Of course, it is also possible to individually feed and align the containers after placing an empty pallet in the processing area.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, daß ein Behandlungskopf als Spundlochsuchgerät eine Ausrichteinrichtung für die Behälter zur vorgegebenen Spundlocheinstellung steuert.It is also proposed that a treatment head as a bunghole locator controls an alignment device for the containers for the predetermined bunghole setting.

Als Variante zur Einstellung des Geräteträgers, ist vorgesehen, daß über einen Behandlungskopf mit einem Sensor und der programmierbaren Steuereinheit zur Zu­ordnung des Geräteträgers zum Spundloch des Behälters, die vorliegenden Wegkoordinaten zur Spundlocherfassung ermittelbar sindAs a variant for setting the device carrier, it is provided that the present path coordinates for the bunghole detection can be determined via a treatment head with a sensor and the programmable control unit for assigning the device carrier to the bunghole of the container

Eine anpassungsfähige Anordnung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß die einzelnen Behandlungsköpfe im Geräteträger austauschbar und den Anforderungen anpaßbar angeordnet sind.An adaptable arrangement is created in that the individual treatment heads in the device carrier are interchangeable and arranged to be adaptable to the requirements.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel über den prinzipiellen Aufbau der Erfindung schematisch darge­stellt. Hierbei ist eine Draufsicht auf einen Bearbei­tungsplatz mit zwei Parallelträgern aus Förderern gezeigt.In the drawing, an embodiment of the basic structure of the invention is shown schematically. Here, a top view of a processing station with two parallel beams from conveyors is shown.

Bei der dargestellten Anordnung werden einzelne Fässer 1 über parallel angeordnete Förderern 2 und 3 zugeführt und über ein nicht näher dargestellten Drehantrieb, der am Behälteranfang angreift, bezüglich des Spundloches 4 ausgerichtet. Oberhalb des gebildeten Ausrichtplatzes ist eine Aufnahme 5 für einen verfahrbaren Geräteträger 6, der entsprechende Behandlungsköpfe 7 bis 12 als Einheit in Form eines Werkzeugs trägt.In the arrangement shown, individual barrels 1 are fed via conveyors 2 and 3 arranged in parallel and aligned with respect to the bung hole 4 via a rotary drive (not shown in more detail) which acts on the beginning of the container. Above the alignment position formed is a receptacle 5 for a movable device carrier 6, which carries corresponding treatment heads 7 to 12 as a unit in the form of a tool.

Der Geräteträger 6 ist über zugeordnete Stellantriebe 13,14 und 15 in allen Stellachsen entsprechend den Erfordernissen einstellbar. Hierbei wird über eine programmierbare Steuereinheit 16 ein entsprechender Bewegungsablauf und eine Schrittfolge unter Berück­sichtigung der vorliegenden Verhältnisse vorgegeben.The device carrier 6 can be adjusted in all actuating axes according to the requirements by means of assigned actuators 13, 14 and 15. In this case, a corresponding movement sequence and a sequence of steps is specified via a programmable control unit 16, taking into account the existing conditions.

Im Geräteträger 6 bestehen die Behandlungsköpfe 7 bis 12 aus einem Spundlochsuchgerät mit induktiver, optischer oder kapazitiver Tastung, Auf-Zu-Schrauber, Clinchgerät und Feuchtemesser.In the device carrier 6, the treatment heads 7 to 12 consist of a bunghole locator with inductive, optical or capacitive sensing, open-close screwdriver, clinching device and moisture meter.

Bei einem Faßdurchlauf wird ein Faß 1 dem Bearbeitungs­platz zugeführt, und der Behandlungskopf 7 mit dem Spundlochsuchgerät wird über den Stellantrieb 13 mit dem Geräteträger bis dicht über die Behälteroberfläche abgesenkt und steuert die Ausrichtbewegung für die Spundloch-Sollposition.During a barrel run, a barrel 1 is fed to the processing station, and the treatment head 7 with the bunghole locator is lowered via the actuator 13 with the equipment carrier to just above the container surface and controls the alignment movement for the bunghole target position.

Nach der Ausrichtung des Spundloches 4 wird der Geräte­träger 6 mit seinem Auf-Zu-Schrauber als Behandlungs­kopf 8 dem Spundloch 4 zugeordnet, abgesenkt und der Verschlußstopfen herausgeschraubt. Anschließend wird gegebenenfalls über den Behandlungskopf 9 mit dem Feuchtemesser festgestellt, ob das Faß 1 leer ist. Das Faß kann nunmehr über gesonderte Füllköpfe 17 befüllt werden. Gleichzeitig können die weiteren Fässer 1 mit dem einstellbaren Geräteträger 6 für die Füllung vor­bereitet werden. Im Anschluß an die Befüllung fährt der Geräteträger mit seinem Behandlungskopf 8 wieder in die Spundloch-Schließposition und verschließt das Faß 1 über seinen Auf-Zu-Schrauber.After the bung hole 4 has been aligned, the implement carrier 6 is assigned to the bung hole 4 with its open-close screwdriver as a treatment head 8, lowered and the sealing plug unscrewed. Then, if necessary, it is determined via the treatment head 9 with the moisture meter whether the barrel 1 is empty. The barrel can now be filled via separate filling heads 17. At the same time, the other drums 1 can be prepared for the filling with the adjustable equipment carrier 6. Following the filling, the device carrier moves its treatment head 8 back into the bunghole closing position and closes the barrel 1 via its open-close screwdriver.

Weiterhin wird über den Behandlungskopf 10 eine Clinch­kappe aufgebracht, während ein Behandlungskopf 11 als Reserve vorgesehen ist. Der Behandlungskopf 12 ist ebenfalls als Auf-Zu-Schrauber ausgebildet, um gleich­zeitig den jeweiligen Verschlußstopfen aufzunehmen und keinen Arbeitsengpaß auftreten zu lassen.Furthermore, a clinching cap is applied over the treatment head 10, while a treatment head 11 is provided as a reserve. The treatment head 12 is also designed as an open-close screwdriver, in order to simultaneously receive the respective sealing plug and not to cause any work bottleneck.

Bei einer Änderung der Behältergröße oder unterschied­lichen Behältern ist es nur erforderlich, die ent­sprechenden Wegänderungen in die Steuereinheit einzu­geben bzw. entsprechende vorliegende Programme auszu­tauschen, da der Bewegungsablauf prinzipiell erhalten bleibt.If the container size or different containers are changed, it is only necessary to enter the corresponding path changes in the control unit or to exchange corresponding existing programs, since the movement sequence is in principle retained.
