  • These cups have to are not necessarily round, but can also have, for example, a rectangular shape. It is understood that the receptacles in the receiving plates are each adapted to the shape of the container used.
  • the existing mounting plates had to be exchanged by hand in a lengthy and complex, time-consuming and cost-intensive process for other mounting plates that had recordings that had were adapted to the changed container shape and container size.

  • the object on which the invention is based is seen in creating a device of the type described, in which a changeover to a different cup shape or cup size can be carried out without considerable expenditure on changeover time and changeover work.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that, in order to adapt to a predetermined sequence of at least two differently shaped objects which are to be machinable and / or processable by means of the device, the transport device in the transport direction as a row of consecutive ones Sequence of objects has corresponding recording sequences, each recording sequence being evenly distributed over a likewise predetermined step length, such that each distance between two objects corresponds to the fraction of a step length that results when the same is divided by the number of objects in a sequence.
  • the device is expediently provided with endless chains as a transport device, on which carrier plates are arranged one behind the other, each of which has a number of adjacent, uniform receptacles, the inventive arrangement of different carrier plates, each associated with a specific object shape, corresponding to the predetermined sequence of objects.

  • receiving plates for the first containers alternate with receiving plates for the second containers in an alternating manner. Since this sequential arrangement of different carrier plates, each assigned to a specific container shape and size, corresponds to the predetermined container sequence, with each container sequence and the recording sequence being evenly distributed over the predetermined step length, the described distance between the first and second containers corresponds to half a step length, namely Stride length divided by two, namely the number of containers. Conversely, the stride length corresponds to two container distances.

  • the device according to the invention is now to be converted to the second container, then it is only necessary to adjust the drive by a container spacing or half a step or feed length such that the receiving plates assigned to the second containers are now each attached to the Workstations, namely the unstacking station, the filling station, the lid placement station, the sealing or sealing station, the labeling station and the removal station are in line. If the machine then starts up again, it is ensured that only containers of the second type in terms of shape and size are used in the step-by-step operation.
  • the clock drive for adapting the position of the transport device or endless chains with the receiving plates relative to the stations has a latching coupling which, when the device is at rest, allows the above-mentioned setting of the transport device or endless chains, such that during operation of the device the respective feed steps of the transport device, only the receptacles of one and the same container shape to the stations for Bring in use, when changing the locking coupling when the operation of the device is interrupted, however, the receptacles of the other container shape or size.
  • a step or feed length having to be dimensioned such that there are four distances between the four different ones Containers bridged in the direction of transport.
  • the detent coupling or the like can ensure that only the desired container shape ge u 'nd -large is processed in each case. It is understood that in three different containers the distance between the successive containers of a sequence is one third of a step or feed length, while in four containers the container distance is a quarter of the length mentioned.

  • These stations are arranged on a base frame 9 which rests on the floor 10 and on which a transport device 11 with receptacles 12, 13 (FIG. 2) for the containers 1, 2 is provided, which are arranged one after the other in the transport direction A and are adapted in shape to the containers 1, 2.
  • a clock drive 14 is provided, which ensures a gradual advance of the transport device 11 by the same step lengths S.
  • the transport device consists of two chains 15, of which only one can be seen in FIG. 1, since the second lies congruently behind it.

  • These two mounting plates 16 and 17 are each adapted to two different containers 1 and 2 in terms of their shape and size, such that the mounting 12, 13 already mentioned above, as mentioned, have a corresponding shape.
  • the containers 1 are round (FIG. 2) and longer (FIG. 1) than the containers 2, which are square and are shorter.
  • a container sequence consists of the two containers 1 and 2, which is distributed uniformly over the predetermined step length S, such that each distance s between two containers 1 and 2 corresponds to the fraction of the step length S, which is the result of division this step length S results from the number of containers in a sequence, this number being two in the present case.

Abstract

Ledit dispositif, en particulier en tant qu'installation de remplissage qui saisit des récipients (1, 2) empilés dans une station de séparation (3) et les transporte vers des stations où ils sont remplis, munis de couvercles, fermés, marqués et enlevés (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) ou soumis à d'autres traitements semblables, comprend une structure de base (9), sur laquelle est montée une installation de transport (11) avec des réceptacles (12, 13) pour les récipients (1, 2), qui sont arrangés l'un derrière l'autre dans le sens du transport (A) est dont la forme correspond à celle des récipients (1, 2), et un entraînement cadencé (14), qui fait avancer l'installation de transport (11) pas à pas d'une longueur donnée (S) à la fois. Pour s'adapter à une séquence prédéterminée d'au moins deux récipients de formes différentes (1, 2), que ladite installation doit pouvoir remplir et fermer, l'installation de transport (11) a des séquences de saisie correspondant aux séquences des récipients, chaque séquence de saisie étant répartie régulièrement sur une longueur de pas (S) également prédéterminée de telle manière que la distance entre deux récipients (1, 2) correspond chaque fois à une fraction de longueur de pas (S) que l'on obtient en divisant ladite longueur par le nombre de récipients (1, 2) d'une séquence. Ladite invention permet d'usiner ou de traiter des objets de forme et ou de format différents à l'aide d'une seule installation qu'il n'est pas besoin de convertir.
