Abstract

The device is intended to ensure that separation of the bottle closing element forcibly occurs when the closing process has been completed. To achieve this, in the case of the device for closing bottles with crown caps, there are fastened closing elements (1) to the circumference of a closing machine upper part in guide bushes (2) in a vertically movable fashion. In the closing element (1) there is centrally arranged a spring loaded cylindrical holding down device (10) in a closing element casing (6), the holding down device (10) having a holding down device headpiece (13) at its upper end. Immediately on conclusion of the closing process, this holding down device is made, by the holding down device headpiece (13), to come to rest against a stationary radial cam (4), and is therefore prevented from executing an upward movement taking the form of a forced movement in relation to the closing element casing (6). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verschließen von Flaschen mit Kronenkorken entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches.The invention relates to a device for closing bottles with crown caps according to the preamble of the claim.

Vorrichtungen zum Verschließen von Flaschen mit Kronenkorken oder ähnlichen Bördelkappen werden insbesondere in der Getränkeindustrie verwendet, wo sie Füllvorrichtungen nachgeschaltet sind. Die Verschließvorrichtungen weisen meist mehrere Verschließorgane auf, die in der Art eines Karussels umlaufend angeordnet sind und während des Umlaufs mit Kronenkorken beschickt werden. Das Verschließen der Flaschen mit den Kronenkorken erfolgt dann, wenn die Verschließorgane zu den Mündungen der Flaschen, die auf einer mit der Kreisbahn der Verschließorgane übereinstimmenden Bahn befördert werden, ausgerichtet sind.
Dazu ist eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung (DD 272 056) zum Verschließen von Flaschen mit Kronenverschlüssen bekannt, bei der Verschließorgane, die mit einer rotierenden Verschlußübergabevorrichtung mit gleicher Umfangsgeschwindigkeit in Verbindung stehen, an einem rotierenden Verschließmaschinenoberteils angeordnet sind. Am Umfang des Verschließmaschinenoberteils sind Führungsbuchsen befestigt, in denen höhenbeweglich je ein Verschließorgangehäuse mit Zentrierkopf und Verschließkonus und mit einem Rollenhalter mit in einer ortsfesten Kurvenbahn geführten Führungsrolle gelagert ist. Im Verschließorgangehäuse ist weiterhin ein in Buchsen gelagerter federbelasteter an seiner unteren Stirnseite einen Magneten aufweisender zylindrischer Niederhalter zentrisch angeordnet, wobei der Niederhalter mehrere Teilstücke mit verschiedenen Durchmessern aufweist. Diese Teilstücke stehen mit Buchsen, Kugeln, Federn und dgl. in Verbindung. Sie bezwecken, den Bewegungsablauf des Niederhalters im Verschließorgan derart zu gestalten, daß sowohl die zur Zentrierung des Kronenverschlusses erforderliche relative Aufwärtsbewegung des Niederhalters im Verschließorgangehäuse als auch die Lösung der starren Verbindung mit dem Verschließorgangehäuse nach dem federbelasteten Aufsetzen des Niederhalters auf dem Kronenverschluß beim weiteren Absenken des Verschließorgangehäuses zu gewährleisten. Dieser Niederhalter besitzt zur Höhenbegrenzung bei der Bewegung des Verschließorgans ein durch den Verschließorgangehäusedeckel hindurchragendes Niederhalterkopfstück, welches in der oberen Stellung des Niederhalters durch die Kraft einer Druckfeder an dem am Verschließmaschinenoberteil angebrachten Höhenbegrenzungsteller anliegt.Devices for closing bottles with crown caps or similar crimp caps are used in particular in the beverage industry, where they are followed by filling devices. The closing devices usually have a plurality of closing members which are arranged all around in the manner of a carousel and are loaded with crown caps during the circulation. The bottles are closed with the crown corks when the closure members are aligned with the mouths of the bottles, which are conveyed on a path coinciding with the circular path of the closure members.
For this purpose, a generic device (DD 272 056) for closing bottles with crown closures is known, in which closure members, which are connected to a rotating closure transfer device with the same peripheral speed, are arranged on a rotating upper part of the closing machine. Guide bushings are attached to the circumference of the upper part of the sealing machine, in which a capping organ housing with centering head and capping cone and with a roller holder with a guide roller guided in a fixed cam track is mounted in a vertically movable manner. In the closure organ housing, a spring-loaded cylindrical downholder, which is mounted in bushings and has a magnet on its lower end face, is arranged centrally, the downholder having a plurality of sections with different diameters. These sections are connected to bushings, balls, springs and the like. They aim to design the sequence of movements of the hold-down device in the closing member in such a way that both the relative upward movement of the hold-down device in the closing device housing required for centering the crown closure and the release of the rigid connection to the closing device housing after the spring-loaded To ensure that the hold-down device is placed on the crown closure when the closure organ housing is lowered further. This hold-down device has a hold-down head piece protruding through the closing device housing cover to limit the height during the movement of the closing member.

Der Nachteil von allgemein bekannten und der gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtung besteht darin, daß nach Abschluß des Verschließprozesses es möglich ist, daS die verschlossene Flasche im Verschließring festklemmt und nicht durch ihr Eigengewicht bzw. durch die Federkraft des Niederhalters aus dem Verschließorgan herausgleitet, wenn dieser sich nach oben bewegt. Verklemmt die verschlossene Flasche im Verschließring, wird sie mit dem Verschließorgan nach oben und im Umlauf mit dem Verschließmaschinenoberteil bewegt. Es kommt demzufolge zu einer Behinderung bei der Aufnahme der nächsten zu verschließenden Flasche, zu Flaschenbruch und bzw. oder zur Zerstörung oder Beschädigung von Bauteilen und zum Maschinenstillstand.The disadvantage of generally known and of the generic device is that after the closure process is completed, it is possible that the closed bottle is stuck in the closure ring and does not slide out of the closure member by its own weight or by the spring force of the hold-down device when it moves upwards emotional. If the closed bottle is jammed in the closing ring, it is moved upwards with the closing element and in circulation with the upper part of the closing machine. As a result, there is a hindrance when picking up the next bottle to be closed, bottle breakage and / or destruction or damage to components and machine downtime.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde bei einem Verschließorgan einer Flaschenverschließmaschine zum Verschließen von Flaschen mit Kronenkorken nach Beendigung des Verschließprozesses eine Trennung Flasche - Verschließorgan zwangsweise zu sichern.The invention is based on the object of forcing a closure element of a bottle closure machine for closing bottles with crown corks after the closure process to secure a separation of the bottle closure element.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe entsprechend dem Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches gelöst.According to the invention the object is achieved in accordance with the characterizing part of the patent claim.

Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung durch die erzwungene Relativbewegung des Niederhalters zum Verschließorgangehäuse besteht darin, daß die verschlossene Flasche nach Beendigung des Verschließprozesses zwangsgesteuert aus dem Verschließorgan befördert wird und mit auf dem sich absenkenden Flaschenträger abgefördert werden kann. Der Niederhalter wird dazu in seiner Aufwärtsbewegung mit dem Verschließorgan durch das Anliegen an der ortsfesten Gleitbahn solange gehindert bis die Flasche aus dem Verschließorgan ausgestoßen ist. Dadurch wird der Flaschenbruch reduziert und ein Maschinenstillstand vermieden. Außerdem werden die Belastungen von Maschinenelementen verringert und am Niederhalter ist eine geringere Federkraft notwendig.The advantage of the solution according to the invention due to the forced relative movement of the hold-down device relative to the closure member housing is that the closed bottle, after the closure process has ended, is conveyed out of the closure member in a positively controlled manner and with it on the lowering bottle carrier can be removed. For this purpose, the hold-down device is prevented in its upward movement with the closure member by being in contact with the stationary slideway until the bottle has been expelled from the closure member. This reduces bottle breakage and prevents machine downtime. In addition, the loads on machine elements are reduced and a lower spring force is required on the hold-down device.

Die Erfindung soll nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert werden.The invention will be explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.

Die zugehörige Zeichnung zeigt ein Verschließorgan in Schnittdarstellung.The accompanying drawing shows a closing element in a sectional view.

Eine Verschließmaschine für Flaschen mit Kronenkorken besteht aus einem Verschließmaschinenunterteil mit einem Flaschentisch mit Ein- und Auslaufstern und rotierenden Flaschenträgern und einem Verschließmaschinenoberteil. Am Verschließmaschinenoberteil sind am Umfang Verschließorgane 1 angeordnet, die mit einer rotierenden Kronenkorkübergabeeinrichtung in Verbindung stehen. Das Verschließorgan 1 ist am Verschließmaschinenoberteil in Führungsbuchsen 2 höhenbeweglich und verdrehsicher angeordnet. In Verlängerung nach oben besitzt das Verschließorgan 1 dazu einen Rollenhalter 3 mit an einer ortsfesten Steuerkurve 4 geführten Führungsrolle 5. Das Verschließorgan 1 besteht aus einem Verschließorgangehäuse 6 mit dem Rollenhalter 3 und einer Niederhalterführung 7 und einem Zentrierkopf 8 und Verschließring 9. Im Verschließorgan 1 ist weiterhin zentrisch ein Niederhalter 10 angeordnet, an dem an seiner unteren Stirnfläche ein Magnet 11 befestigt ist. Zwischen der Niederhalterführung 7 und einem Bund am Niederhalter 10 ist eine Druckfeder 12 angeordnet. Am oberen Ende des Niederhalters 10 ist ein durch das obere Ende des Verschließorgans 1 hindurchragendes Niederhalterkopfstück 13 angeordnet, welches in der oberen Stellung des Niederhalters 10 an der ortsfesten Steuerkurve 4 anliegt.A capping machine for bottles with crown caps consists of a capping machine lower part with a bottle table with inlet and outlet star and rotating bottle carriers and a capping machine upper part. On the circumference of the closing machine upper part, closing members 1 are arranged, which are connected to a rotating crown cork transfer device. The closing member 1 is arranged on the upper part of the closing machine in guide bushings 2 so as to be vertically movable and secure against rotation. In an upward extension, the closing member 1 has a roller holder 3 with a guide roller 5 guided on a fixed control cam 4. The closing member 1 consists of a closing member housing 6 with the roller holder 3 and a hold-down guide 7 and a centering head 8 and locking ring 9 Furthermore, a hold-down device 10 is arranged centrally, to which a magnet 11 is fastened on its lower end face. A compression spring 12 is arranged between the hold-down guide 7 and a collar on the hold-down device 10. At the upper end of the hold-down device 10 there is a hold-down head piece 13 which projects through the upper end of the closing member 1 and which, in the upper position of the hold-down device 10, bears against the fixed control cam 4.

Die Wirkungsweise der Vorrichtung ist folgende:
Über einen Zuführungskanal gelangen Kronenkorken in eine Kronenkorkenübergabeeinrichtung, welche die Kronenkorken an die Verschließorgane 1 übergeben. Zum Zeitpunkt der Übergabe befinden sich die untere Fläche des Zentrierkopfes 8 und die untere Stirnfläche des Niederhalters 10 in gleicher Höhe. Die durch die Steuerkurve 4 geführte am Rollenhalter 3 befestigte Führungsrolle 5 befindet sich dabei in ihrer oberen Stellung. Der durch die Übergabeeinrichtung unter den Niederhalter 10 gebrachte Kronenkork wird durch den Magnet 11 des Niederhalters 10 an der unteren Stirnseite des Niederhalters 10 festgehalten. Durch die Abwärtsbewegung des Verschließorgans 1 bei gleichzeitigem Verharren des Niederhalters 10 in der Ausgangslage verändert sich die Lage der unteren Fläche des Zentrierkopfes 8 zum Mundstück der unter dem Verschließorgan 1 stehenden Flasche. Der an der unteren Stirnfläche des Niederhalters 10 haftende Kronenkork wird bei weiterer Abwärtsbewegung des Verschließorgans 1 auf das Flaschenmundstück aufgesetzt. In der weiteren Folge verändert sich bei der Abwärtsbewegung des Verschließorgans 1 die Lage der unteren Fläche des Zentrierkopfes 8 zur unteren Stirnfläche des Niederhalters 10. Der an der unteren Stirnfläche des Niederhalters 10 haftende Kronenkork wird dadurch in die konische sich nach oben verjüngende Bohrung des Zentrierkopfes 8 bewegt und zentriert. Gleichzeitig wird die unter dem Verschließorgan 1 stehende Flasche zentriert. Beim weiteren Absenken des Verschließorgans 1 wird die Flasche mit dem aufgesetztem noch nicht verformten Kronenkork in den Verschließring 9 eingeführt und im Verlauf der weiteren Absenkbewegung wird der Kronenkork bleibend verformt. Der Verschließvorgang ist damit beendet. Während des gesamten Verschließprozesses von der Flaschenzuführung bis zur Flaschenabführung befindet sich die Flasche auf rotierenden Flaschenträgern. Nach dem Beenden des Verschließvorganges bewegt sich das Verschließorgan 1 nach oben und gibt damit die Flasche frei. Zur Verhinderung des Festklemmens im Verschließring 9 wird das Ausstoßen zwangsgesteuert, indem der Niederhalter 10 mit seinem Niederhalterkopfstück 13 an der Steuerkurve 4 anliegt und nicht gleichzeitig mit dem Verschließorgangehäuse 6 nach oben bewegt wird. Die verschlossene Flasche wird somit zwangsweise aus dem Verschließring 9 herausgedrückt. Ein Festklemmen der Flasche mit Kronenkork im Verschließring 9 ist demzufolge nicht möglich.The device works as follows:
Via a feed channel, crown caps reach a crown cap transfer device, which transfers the crown caps to the closure members 1. At the time of transfer, the lower surface of the centering head 8 and the lower end surface of the hold-down device 10 are at the same height. The guide roller 5 guided by the control cam 4 and fastened to the roller holder 3 is in its upper position. The crown cork brought under the hold-down device 10 by the transfer device is held by the magnet 11 of the hold-down device 10 on the lower end face of the hold-down device 10. Due to the downward movement of the closure member 1 while the hold-down device 10 remains in the initial position, the position of the lower surface of the centering head 8 relative to the mouthpiece of the bottle standing under the closure member 1 changes. The crown cork adhering to the lower end face of the hold-down device 10 is placed on the bottle mouthpiece upon further downward movement of the closing member 1. Subsequently, the position of the lower surface of the centering head 8 relative to the lower end face of the hold-down device 10 changes during the downward movement of the closing member 1. The crown cork adhering to the lower end face of the hold-down device 10 is thereby in the conically tapered bore of the centering head 8 moved and centered. At the same time, the bottle standing under the closure member 1 is centered. When the closing member 1 is lowered further, the bottle with the crown cork which has not yet been deformed is inserted into the closing ring 9 and the crown cork is permanently deformed in the course of the further lowering movement. The closing process is now complete. The bottle is on rotating bottle carriers during the entire capping process, from bottle feeding to bottle removal. After the closing process has ended, the closing member 1 moves upward and thus releases the bottle. To prevent jamming in the locking ring 9, the ejection positively controlled, in that the hold-down device 10 rests with its hold-down head piece 13 on the control cam 4 and is not moved upwards at the same time as the closure member housing 6. The sealed bottle is thus forced out of the locking ring 9. Clamping the bottle with crown cork in the locking ring 9 is therefore not possible.
