Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Transport von Behältnissen durch Abfüll- und/oder Verpackungsanlagen mit­tels adapterähnlicher Trägerelemente die außen der Form der jeweiligen Abfüll- bzw. Verpackungsanlage und innen den Konturen der jeweils die Anlage passierenden Behältnis­se angepaßt sind.The invention relates to a device for transporting containers through filling and / or packaging systems by means of adapter-like carrier elements which are adapted to the outside of the shape of the respective filling or packaging system and to the inside of the contours of the containers passing through the system.

Trägerelemente zum Aufnehmen eines Behälters bei Durchlau­fen einer Abfüll- und/oder Verpackungsanlage sind bekannt (EP 0 222 175) , die sich durch einen den Boden eines einzu­setzenden Behälters im wesentlichen nur längs Linien und/oder Punkten berührenden Bodenring mit an zwei diame­tral gegenüberliegenden und in Laufrichtung der Anlage hin­tereinander anzuordnenden Ringteilstücken angeformten, et­wa senkrecht zur Ringebene stehenden Schilden kennzeich­nen. Durch diese Trägerelemente soll erreicht werden, daß Abfüll- und/oder Verpackungsanlagen der betreffenden Art zum Füllen und Verpacken von Behältern verschiedenster Art und Größe verwendbar sind , ohne jeweils Umrüstungen an der Anlage bei einem Wechsel des zu behandelnden Behälters vor­nehmen zu müssen, indem die Trägerelemente der jeweiligen Anlage optimal angepaßte gleichbleibende Außenkonturen auf­weisen, während die Innenkonturen dem jeweils zu füllenden bzw. zu verpackenden Gegenstand angepaßt werden, derart, daß für jede handzuhabende Behälterform jeweils eine aus­reichende Anzahl von passenden Trägerelementen für eine be­stimmte Anlage verfügbar gehalten wird.Carrier elements for receiving a container when passing through a filling and / or packaging system are known (EP 0 222 175), which are characterized by a bottom ring which only touches the bottom of a container to be used essentially along lines and / or points, with two diametrically opposite and in Mark the direction of rotation of the system to be arranged on ring sections to be arranged approximately perpendicular to the ring plane. These support elements are intended to ensure that filling and / or packaging systems of the type in question can be used for filling and packaging containers of the most varied types and sizes, without having to make any changes to the system when the container to be treated is changed by the support elements have constant outer contours optimally adapted to the respective system, while the inner contours are adapted to the object to be filled or packaged in such a way, that for each container shape to be handled, a sufficient number of suitable carrier elements is kept available for a specific system.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung einer Vorrichtung, mittels welcher der Transport von Behältnissen durch Anla­gen der betreffenden Art noch weiter vereinfacht und viel­gestaltiger gemacht werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide a device by means of which the transport of containers through systems of the type in question can be made even simpler and more diverse.

Bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß je­des Trägerelement mit einer in einer Seitenwandung des Trä­gerelementes angeordneten Eisen- oder Magnetplatte ausge­rüstet ist, die mit parallel zu dieser und in gleicher Höhe umlaufenden Magnet- oder Eisenbandförderern zusammen­wirkt.In a device of the type described in the introduction, this object is achieved according to the invention in that each carrier element is equipped with an iron or magnetic plate arranged in a side wall of the carrier element, which cooperates with magnetic or iron belt conveyors rotating parallel to it and at the same height.

Aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung können die einzelnen Träger­elemente mit in diesen befindlichen Behältnissen in beson­ders günstiger Weise an bestimmten Manipulationsstationen vorbeigeführt werden, wo bestimmte Manipulationen, wie Fül­len, Schließen, Codieren, Bedrucken, Etikettieren oder dgl. ausgeführt werden, um dann beispielsweise nach einem Lösen von den Bandförderern mittels Leitblechen oder dgl. im Bereich von Umkehrtrommeln anderen Vorrichtungsteilen zugeführt zu werden, wo wiederum andere Manipulationen an den Behältnissen vorgenommen werden.Because of this configuration, the individual carrier elements with containers located in them can be guided past certain manipulation stations in a particularly favorable manner, where certain manipulations, such as filling, closing, coding, printing, labeling or the like, are carried out, in order then, for example, after they have been detached from the Belt conveyors by means of baffles or the like. In the area of reversing drums to be fed to other device parts, where in turn other manipulations are carried out on the containers.

Dabei ergibt sich eine besonders einfache Ausgestaltung, wenn jedes Trägerelement in Draufsicht gesehen im wesentli­chen U-förmig ausgebildet ist und eine Eisen- oder Magnet­platte in die Rückseite des Steges des U-förmigen Träger­elementes eingearbeitet ist. Auf diese Weise können die Be­hältnisse in einfachster Weise jeweils durch die offene Seitenwandung in die Trägerelemente eingeführt und nach der Behandlung wieder ausgestoßen werden, wobei naturgemäß ein ausreichender Klemmsitz zwischen den Innenseiten der Flansche der U-förmigen Trägerelemente und den Behältnis­sen gewährleistet sein muß, um eine sichere Positionierung der Behältnisse während der durchzuführenden Manipula­tionen sicherzustellen.This results in a particularly simple configuration if each support element is essentially U-shaped when viewed in plan view and an iron or magnetic plate is incorporated into the rear of the web of the U-shaped support element. In this way, the containers can be inserted in the simplest way through the open side wall into the carrier elements and ejected again after the treatment, with an adequate clamping fit between the inner sides of the flanges of the U-shaped carrier elements and the containers naturally having to be ensured in order to achieve a ensure safe positioning of the containers during the manipulations to be carried out.

In Weiterbildung kann man ferner an den Außenseiten der Flansche der U-förmigen Trägerelemente waagerecht verlau­fende Führungs-Nuten oder -Leisten ausbilden, derart, daß nach dem Verlassen der den Magnet- oder Eisenplatten zuge­ordneten Eisen- oder tlagnetbandförderer die Trägerelemente andere Anlagenteile durchlaufen können, bei denen korre­spondierende Führungs-Leisten oder -Nuten mit den Füh­rungs-Nuten oder -Leisten in den Flanschen der Trägerele­mente zusammenwirken.In a further development, horizontally extending guide grooves or strips can be formed on the outer sides of the flanges of the U-shaped support elements, such that after leaving the iron or magnetic belt conveyor assigned to the magnetic or iron plates, the support elements can pass through other system parts which cooperate with corresponding guide strips or grooves with the guide grooves or strips in the flanges of the carrier elements.

Schließlich können die Trägerelemente mit Öffnungen verse­hen sein, die zum Manipulieren der Behältnisse und/oder zur Gewichtsersparn is dienen.Finally, the carrier elements can be provided with openings for manipulating the containers and / or serve to save weight.

Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung bei­spielsweise näher erläutert. Diese zeigt in:

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivisch-schematische Darstellung einer Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung,
  • Fig. 2 ein im wesentlichen U-förmiges Trägerelement der Vorrichtung für quaderförmige Behältnisse in perspektivischer Darstellung und in
  • Fig. 3 eine Fig. 2 ähnliche Darstellung eines Träger­elements für gerundete Behältnisse.
The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example. This shows in:
  • 1 is a perspective schematic representation of a device according to the invention,
  • Fig. 2 is a substantially U-shaped support element of the device for rectangular containers in a perspective view and in
  • Fig. 3 is a Fig. 2 similar representation of a carrier element for rounded containers.

Bei der in Fig. 1 wiedergegebenen, das Prinzip der Erfin­dung verdeutlichenden Vorrichtung läuft ein endloses För­derband 1 in vertikalen Ebenen um Bandtrommeln 2 mit verti­kaler Drehachse um, wobei die Förderrichtung mit Pfeil 3 gekennzeichnet ist.In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, which illustrates the principle of the invention, an endless conveyor belt 1 runs in vertical planes around belt drums 2 with a vertical axis of rotation, the direction of conveyance being indicated by arrow 3.

Das Förderband 1 besteht entweder aus Magnet- oder Eisen­material. Ein derartiges Förderband 1 ist zum Transport von im Grundriß im wesentlichen U-förmigen Trägerelementen 4 vorgesehen, wobei auf der Rückseite eines vordere und hintere Flansche 5 verbindenden Steges jedes U-förmigen Trägerelementes 4 eine in Fig. 1 nicht wiedergegebeneThe conveyor belt 1 consists of either magnetic or iron material. Such a conveyor belt 1 is provided for the transport of support elements 4 which are essentially U-shaped in plan, with a web of each U-shaped support element 4 connecting a front and rear flanges 5 connecting one on the back, not shown in FIG. 1

Eisen- oder Magnetplatte angeordnet ist, derart, daß mit­tels geeigneter, nicht dargestellter Leitelemente dem För­derband 1 zugeführte Trägerelemente 4 mittels magnetischer Kräfte von dem stationär angeordneten Förderband 2 angezo­gen und in Richtung des Pfeiles 3 transportiert werden, wo­bei die unteren Stirnflächen des Trägerelements 4 natür­lich auf einer nicht dargestellten Gleitfläche gleiten, ebenso wie die in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellten Behältnisse, die durch die offene Seite der Trägerelemente in diese ein­geführt und nach der Behandlung ausgestoßen werden.Iron or magnetic plate is arranged in such a way that by means of suitable guide elements, not shown, the carrier elements 4 fed to the conveyor belt 1 are attracted by magnetic forces from the stationary conveyor belt 2 and transported in the direction of the arrow 3, the lower end faces of the carrier element 4, of course a sliding surface, not shown, slide, as well as the containers, not shown in FIG. 1, which are inserted into the open side of the carrier elements and ejected after the treatment.

Bei dem in Fig. 2 wiedergegebenen Trägerelement 4a sind die Innenflächen des Steges 6a und der Flansche 5a eben rechtwinklig zueinander ausgebildet, derart, daß in ein derartiges Trägerelement quaderförmige Behältnisse, wie z.B. Waschmittelpakete oder dgl. mit Klemm- bzw. Reibsitz einführbar sind. In den Steg 6a ist eine Eisen- oder Mag­netplatte 7 eingearbeitet, wie gestrichelt in Fig. 2 ange­deutet ist, und zwar derart, daß diese vorzugsweise mit der Außenfläche des Steges 6a fluchtet. Oberhalb und unter­halb der Platte 7 sind im Steg ferner obere und untere Aus­nehmungen 8 ausgebildet, die zum Ausstoßen eines jeweils fertig behandelten Behältnisses dienen.In the carrier element 4a shown in Fig. 2, the inner surfaces of the web 6a and the flanges 5a are formed at right angles to one another, such that cuboid-shaped containers, such as e.g. Detergent packs or the like can be inserted with a clamp or friction seat. An iron or magnetic plate 7 is incorporated into the web 6a, as indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2, in such a way that it is preferably flush with the outer surface of the web 6a. Above and below the plate 7, upper and lower recesses 8 are also formed in the web, which serve to eject a respectively treated container.

In den Außenseiten der Flansche 5a sind waagerechte Nuten 9 ausgebildet, die zum Zusammenwirken mit entsprechenden stationären Führungsleisten der Anlage dienen können.In the outer sides of the flanges 5a, horizontal grooves 9 are formed which can be used to interact with corresponding stationary guide strips of the system.

Außerdem sind in den Flanschen Öffnungen 10 ausgebildet, die zum Hindurchgreifen von Manipulationselementen dienen können oder auch lediglich zur Gewichtsersparnis.In addition, openings 10 are formed in the flanges, which can be used to reach through manipulation elements or only to save weight.

Das in Fig. 3 wiedergegebene Trägerelement 4b entspricht in allem Wesentlichen dem zuvor beschriebenen Trägerele­ment 4a gemäß Fig. 2 mit der Ausnahme, daß die Innenkontu­ren gerundet ausgebildet sind, um sich entsprechend gerun­deten Behältnissen, wie z.B. Waschmitteltrommeln anpassen zu können, d .h. , daß lediglich die Innenkonturen von Flan­schen 5b und Steg 6b entsprechend von den ebenen Innenflä­chen des Trägerelementes 4a gemäß Fig. 2 abweichen. Die Außenkonturen sind zur Verwendung bei ein und derselben An­lage bei den Trägerelementen 4a und 4b gemäß den Fig. 2 und 3 völlig identisch, so daß eine Anpassung an ein und dieselbe Anlage ohne Umrüstungsprobleme an der Anlage mög­lich ist. Wie dargestellt und bekannt, sind die Außenflä­chen der Flansche dabei konkav geformt, derart, daß die betreffenden Trägerelemente andere Anlagenteile gut passie­ren können, bei denen keine feste Führung der Trägerelemen­te stattfindet.The carrier element 4b shown in FIG. 3 essentially corresponds to the previously described carrier element 4a according to FIG. 2, with the exception that the inner contours are rounded in order to accommodate appropriately rounded containers, e.g. To be able to adapt detergent drums, i.e. that only the inner contours of flanges 5b and web 6b correspondingly deviate from the flat inner surfaces of the carrier element 4a according to FIG. 2. The outer contours are completely identical for use in one and the same system for the carrier elements 4a and 4b according to FIGS. 2 and 3, so that an adaptation to one and the same system is possible without conversion problems on the system. As shown and known, the outer surfaces of the flanges are concave in such a way that the support elements in question can easily pass other parts of the system in which there is no fixed guidance of the support elements.

Die Trägerelemente sind vorzugsweise aus verschleißfesten und geräuschdämmenden Kunststoffen im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellt, wie dies ebenfalls schon bekannt ist.The carrier elements are preferably made of wear-resistant and noise-insulating plastics by injection molding, as is also known.

Natürlich sind die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele in vielfacher Weise abzuändern, ohne den Grundgedanken der Er­findung zu verlassen. So könnten die Trägerelemente auch ähnlich wie beim Gegenstand von EP 0 222 175 einen ge­schlossenen Bodenring oder auch einen Aufnahmeboden für die Behältnisse aufweisen u. dgl. mehr.Of course, the exemplary embodiments described can be modified in many ways without departing from the basic idea of the invention. For example, similar to the subject matter of EP 0 222 175, the carrier elements could also have a closed base ring or a receiving base for the containers u. Like. more.
