Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Ausrichten der Verschlußstopfen von Bügelverschlußflaschen sowie auf eine Anlage zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for aligning the Stopper of swing top bottles and on a system for Performing this procedure.

Bügelverschlußflaschen kommen insbesondere für Bier immer mehr in den Gebrauch, da sie einerseits eine Pasteurisierung der gesamten Flaschen und anderseits auch ein dichtes Wiederverschließen der Flasche zulassen. Letzteres ermöglicht, eine angebrochene Flasche über einen kürzeren Zeitraum dicht wiederverschlossen im Kühlschrank aufzubewahren, ohne daß ein zu starker Qualitätsabfall des Produktes auftritt.Swing top bottles come in more and more, especially for beer Use because they pasteurize the entire bottle and on the other hand, also allow the bottle to be tightly closed. The latter allows a opened bottle to leak tight for a shorter period of time reclosed in the refrigerator without being too strong Decline in quality of the product occurs.

Nachteile dieser Bügelverschlußflaschen sind darin zu sehen, daß der auf dem Verschlußstopfen befindliche Gummidichtkörper an dem Verschlußstopfen über einen am Kopf radial vorspringenden Ring festgehalten ist, wobei der Dichtkörper den Rand unter Bildung eines Spaltes hintergreift. In diesem Spalt können sich Reste des in der Flasche befindlichen Gutes, z.B. Bieres, festsetzen, wobei insbesondere bei Bier diese Reste sehr gute Nährböden für Bakterien, Hefen oder Schimmelpilze sind. Werden diese Mikroorganismen beim Waschen der Flasche nicht vollständig entfernt, dann führt dies zu Infektionen des in der Flasche befindlichen Lebensmittels.Disadvantages of these swing top bottles can be seen in the fact that on the Sealing plugs located on the sealing plug over a ring protruding radially on the head is held, the sealing body engages behind the edge to form a gap. Remnants can be found in this gap of the good in the bottle, e.g. Beers, stating, in particular in the case of beer, these residues are very good breeding grounds for bacteria, yeast or mold are. These microorganisms do not become complete when washing the bottle removed, this leads to infections of the bottle Food.

Ein derartiger Mikroorganismenbefall des Stopfens ist in der Regel dadurch erkennbar, daß dunkle Ringe oder Flecken oder auch Ablagerungen im Bereich der Verbindung zwischen Gummidichtung und Verschlußkörper auftreten, was von einer Bedienungsperson, die die zum Füller gelangenden Flaschen optisch überwacht, leicht erkennbar ist.Such a microorganism attack on the stopper is usually the result recognizable that dark rings or spots or deposits in the area Connection between the rubber seal and the closure body occur, which is caused by a Operator who visually monitors the bottles arriving at the filler, is easily recognizable.

Da bei Bügelverschlußflaschen die Lage des Verschlußstopfens in Bezug auf die Flasche willkürlich ist, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit sehr hoch, daß die die Flasche beobachtende Person den in Frage kommenden Bereich der Dichtung nicht zu Gesicht bekommt.Since the position of the stopper in relation to swing top bottles the bottle is arbitrary, the probability is very high that the bottle observer does not close the area of the seal in question Face.

Aus EP 0 512 539 B1 ist es bekannt, Verschlußstopfen von Bügelverschlußflaschen so auszurichten, daß der Stopfen mit der Dichtung von der Flasche wegweisend an der Flaschenaußenwand anliegt. Dazu ist bei der bekannten Ausbildung eine Gleitbahn vorgesehen, welche den Kopfbügel des Bügelverschlusses bis in eine etwa horizontale Lage anhebt, wonach dann über einen absenkbaren Finger od.dgl. der Verschlußstopfen in die gewünschte Stellung gebracht und in dieser gehalten wird, bis die Flasche an einem optischen Beobachtungsgerät vorbeigeführt ist. Diese Ausbildung ist äußerst aufwendig, da einzelne Teile mit dem Vorschub der Flasche am Transportband mitbewegt werden müssen, z.B. der Finger mit seiner gesamten Absenkvorrichtung.From EP 0 512 539 B1 it is known to seal plugs from Align the flip top bottles so that the stopper with the seal from the The bottle touches the outer wall of the bottle. This is the case with the known Training provided a slideway, which the headband of the bow lock up to an approximately horizontal position, after which it can be lowered Fingers or the like the plug is brought into the desired position and in this is held until the bottle on an optical observation device is passed. This training is extremely complex because individual parts with the Feed of the bottle must be moved on the conveyor belt, e.g. the finger with its entire lowering device.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Verschlußstopfen mittels einer einfachen, nicht störanfälligen Einrichtung so an der Flasche zu positionieren, daß eine Beobachtungsperson den gesamten Gummiabdichtungsbereich ersehen kann.The invention has for its object the sealing plug by means of a simple, not susceptible to failure to position the bottle so that an observer can see the entire rubber sealing area.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß eine kreisringförmige Leitbahn bis den Flaschenhals umgebend abgesenkt und die Flasche um ihre Längsachse in Drehung versetzt wird, bis durch Zentrifugalwirkung die Verschlußbügel an die Leitbahn von unten her in Anlage gelangen und sich die Verschlußstopfen am Verschlußbügel mit dem die Dichtung tragenden Kopf nach außen ausrichten, wonach dann bei in Drehung befindlicher Flasche die kreisringförmige Leitbahn weiter abgesenkt wird, bis der Verschlußstopfen mit seiner der Dichtung abgewandten Fläche außen am Flaschenhals anliegt, worauf schließlich die Drehung der Flasche beendet und die Leitbahn nach oben von der Flasche abgehoben wird.According to the invention this object is achieved in that a circular channel down to the bottle neck and lowered the bottle is rotated about its longitudinal axis until the centrifugal effect Closure bracket on the track from below come into contact and the Sealing plug on the closing bracket with the head carrying the seal Align outside, then with the bottle in rotation circular trace is further lowered until the plug with its surface facing away from the seal rests on the outside of the bottle neck, whereupon finally the rotation of the bottle stops and the interconnect goes up from the Bottle is lifted off.

Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, daß der die Dichtung tragende Bereich des Verschlußstopfens immer von der Flaschenaußenseite wegweist und damit für die Beobachtungsperson zuverlässig ersichtlich ist.In this way it is ensured that the area of the seal carrying the Sealing plug always points away from the outside of the bottle and thus for the Observer is reliably visible.

Bei einer Anlage zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann ebenfalls erfindungsgemäß eine Einrichtung zur aufrechten Aufnahme einer Bügelverschlußflasche, ein von oben her über den Flaschenhals in den Schwenkbereich des Verschlußbügels stülpbarer, mit einer kreisringförmigen Leitbahn versehener Zentrierkörper und eine Einrichtung zum raschen Drehen der Bügelverschlußflasche um ihre Längsachse vorgesehen sein.In a plant for performing the method according to the invention also according to the invention a device for the upright inclusion of a Swing top bottle, one from above over the bottle neck in the Pivoting range of the locking bracket is foldable, with an annular Leitbahn provided centering body and a device for rapid rotation of the Swing top bottle to be provided about its longitudinal axis.

In der Zeichnung ist der Verfahrensablauf schematisch wiedergegeben, wobei auch die einzelnen Teile der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage nur schematisch angedeutet sind, da verschiedenste Ausführungsvarianten im Bereich des Könnens des Durchschnittsfachmannes liegen.The process flow is shown schematically in the drawing, wherein the individual parts of the system according to the invention are only indicated schematically are, because the most diverse design variants in the area of the ability of Average specialist.

Mit 1 ist eine Bügelverschlußflasche bezeichnet, welche einen Verschlußstopfen 2 aufweist, der einen am Verschlußbügel 5 gelagerten Teil 3 und einen die Dichtung 4 tragenden Bereich 3' besitzt. Der Verschlußbügel 5 ist über einen Spannbügel 6 am Flaschenhals gelagert.1 with a swing top bottle is designated, which one Sealing plug 2 which has a part 3 and has a region 3 'which carries the seal 4. The locking bracket 5 is over a clamp 6 mounted on the bottle neck.

Weiters ist eine Vorrichtung 7 zur aufrechten Aufnahme der Bügelverschlußflasche 1 vorgesehen, desgleichen auch ein in vorliegender Ausführungsvariante ringförmiger Zentrierkörper 8, der an seiner Unterseite eine kreisringförmige Leitbahn 9 aufweist. Mit 10 ist eine Einrichtung angedeutet, mittels welcher die Bügelverschlußflasche 1 um ihre Längsachse in Drehung versetzbar ist.Furthermore, a device 7 for the upright reception of the Swing top bottle 1 provided, as well as one in the present Variant of the ring-shaped centering body 8, which has a has annular interconnect 9. With 10 a device is indicated by means of which the swing top bottle 1 is rotatable about its longitudinal axis.

In Station 1 der beiliegenden Zeichnung ist die Bügelverschlußflasche 1 bereits auf deren Aufnahmeeinrichtung 7 plaziert, u.zw. unterhalb des Zentrierkörpers 8. Gemäß Station 2 bewegt sich der Zentrierkörper 8 entlang des Pfeiles A nach unten, u.zw. solange, bis er die in Station 3 gezeigte Lage einnimmt, in welcher er sich im Schwenkbereich des Verschlußbügels 5 befindet. Diese Lage befindet sich etwa in Höhe des Lagerpunktes des Verschlußbügels 5 am Spannbügel 6. Wichtig ist, daß durch diese Lage einerseits das Hochschwenken des Verschlußbügels 5 in zu starkem Maße begrenzt wird, d.h. daß nicht die horizontale Lage des Verschlußbügels und des Spannbügels eingenommen wird, um solcherart ein zu weites Vorstehen des Verschlußkopfes 2 über die Außenkonturen der Flasche 1 zu verhindern, wobei anderseits jedoch sichergestellt sein muß, daß aufgrund des Nach-Außen-Schwenkens des Verschlußbügels 5 der Verschlußkopf 2 soweit von der Flaschenaußenseite freikommt, daß er sich am Verschlußbügel frei drehen kann. In dieser Lage wird nämlich die Flasche mittels der Einrichtung 10 in Rotation gemäß Pfeil B versetzt. Diese Rotation bewirkt dann, daß sich - wie in Station 4 dargestellt ist - der Verschlußbügel 5 gemäß Pfeil C nach oben verschwenkt, bis er an der kreisringförmigen Leitbahn 9 in Anlage gelangt. Danach erfolgt dann, wie in Station 5 angedeutet ist, das eigentliche Verschwenken des Verschlußkopfes 2 gemäß Pfeil D, mit welchem der Verschlußstopfen dann so ausgerichtet ist, daß der die Dichtung 4 tragende Teil 3' radial von der Flasche 1 wegweist. Darauf hin wird dann, wie in Station 6 angedeutet ist, der Zentrierkörper 8 gemäß Pfeil E weiter nach unten bewegt, u.zw. solange, bis aufgrund der gesteuerten Verschwenkung des Verschlußbügels 5 der Verschlußstopfen 2 mit seiner Dichtung 4 von der Flaschenoberseite wegweisend an die Flaschenaußenseite angelegt ist, wonach dann die Drehung der Flasche eingestellt wird, was in Station 7 angedeutet ist, in welcher auch wiedergegeben ist, daß der Zentrierkörper 8 gemäß Pfeil F von der Flasche abgehoben ist.The swing top bottle 1 is already in station 1 of the accompanying drawing placed on the receiving device 7, etc. below the centering body 8. According to station 2, the centering body 8 moves downward along the arrow A, etc. until he takes the position shown in station 3, in which he is in Swivel range of the locking bracket 5 is located. This location is approximately in Height of the bearing point of the locking bracket 5 on the clamping bracket 6. It is important that this position on the one hand the pivoting of the locking bracket 5 in too strong Dimensions is limited, i.e. that not the horizontal position of the locking bracket and of the clamping bracket is taken in order to protrude too far Prevent closure head 2 on the outer contours of the bottle 1, wherein on the other hand, however, it must be ensured that due to the outward pivoting of the closure bracket 5 of the closure head 2 as far from the outside of the bottle is released that he can turn freely on the locking bracket. In this situation namely the bottle is rotated by means of the device 10 according to arrow B. This rotation then causes - as shown in station 4 - the Locking bracket 5 pivoted upwards according to arrow C until it on the annular interconnect 9 comes into contact. Then, as in station 5 is indicated, the actual pivoting of the closure head 2 according to the arrow D, with which the plug is then aligned so that the seal 4 bearing part 3 'radially away from the bottle 1. Then, as in Station 6 is indicated, the centering body 8 according to arrow E further down moved, etc. until, due to the controlled pivoting of the Closure bracket 5 of the plug 2 with its seal 4 of the Bottom of the bottle is groundbreaking on the outside of the bottle, then the rotation of the bottle is set, which is indicated in station 7, in which is also shown that the centering body 8 according to arrow F from the bottle is lifted off.

Gemäß der in der Zeichnung wiedergegebenen Ausführungsvariante ist die Aufnahmeeinrichtung als Drehteller ausgebildet, auf welchem die Flasche z.B. auf einem Rundläufer, durch die Ausrichteinrichtung geführt wird. Es könnte die Flasche selbstverständlich direkt auf einem Kettenband oder einer Gleitbahn geführt sein, auf welcher die Flasche geradlinig entlang einer Kurvenbahn oder im Rundlauf transportiert wird.According to the embodiment shown in the drawing Pick-up device designed as a turntable on which the bottle e.g. on a rotary machine through which the alignment device is guided. It could be the bottle of course, be guided directly on a chain belt or a slideway which the bottle is straight along a curved path or in a round run is transported.

Die Einrichtung 10, mittels welcher die Flasche in Drehung versetzbar ist, ist vorliegend als Riemen angedeutet, welcher seitlich an die Flasche zur Anlage kommt und damit die Flasche mit entsprechend hoher Drehzahl dreht, um eine Fliehkraft zu erzeugen, die das gewünschte Ausschwenken des Verschlußbügels und auch des Verschlußstopfens ermöglicht. Der Antrieb könnte natürlich auch in anderer Weise erfolgen, z.B. durch einen auf die Mündung der Flasche aufgesetzten Antriebsdorn oder aber durch Antreiben des Aufnahmetellers und Festhalten des Flaschenhalses mittels eines frei drehbaren Dornes.The device 10, by means of which the bottle can be rotated, is in the present case indicated as a strap which comes to rest against the side of the bottle and so that the bottle rotates at a correspondingly high speed to create a centrifugal force generate the desired pivoting of the locking bracket and also the Sealing plug allows. The drive could of course also in a different way take place, e.g. by a drive mandrel placed on the mouth of the bottle or by driving the receiving plate and holding the bottle neck by means of a freely rotatable mandrel.

Bezüglich der kreisringförmigen Leitbahn bzw. des mit dieser versehenen Zentrierkörpers ist anzumerken, daß in der Zeichnung ein Kreisring wiedergegeben ist, es jedoch nicht unbedingt erforderlich ist, daß der gesamte Körper kreisringförmig ausgebildet ist. Es ist ausreichend, wenn an der Unterseite eine kreisringförmige Leitfläche vorgesehen ist, welche in den Bewegungsbereich des Verschlußbügels 5 hinein schwenkbar ist. Dies bedeutet, daß die kreisringförmige Leitfläche konzentrisch über den Flaschenhals abzusenken ist und einen Durchmesser aufweist, der im Inneren eine freie Aufsetzung auf die Flasche ermöglicht und im Außenbereich ein freies Verschwenken des Verschlußstopfens 2 zuläßt.With regard to the circular interconnect or the one provided with it Centering body should be noted that a circular ring is shown in the drawing is, however, it is not absolutely necessary for the entire body is annular. It is sufficient if there is a annular guide surface is provided, which in the range of motion of Locking bracket 5 is pivotable into it. This means that the circular Guide surface is to be lowered concentrically over the bottle neck and a diameter has, which allows a free placement on the bottle inside and in Outside allows a free pivoting of the plug 2.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren bzw. die erfindungsgemäße Anlage ist sowohl für Verschlußbügel, deren Verschlußstopfen aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist als auch für solche aus Keramik geeignet.The method according to the invention or the system according to the invention is both for locking brackets, the sealing plug is made of plastic as also suitable for ceramic ones.

Nach Auslaufen der Flasche, deren Stopfen ordnungsgemäß ausgerichtet ist, kann die Flasche in nicht dargestellter Weise noch hinsichtlich der Drehlage so ausgerichtet werden, daß alle Stopfen zur Beobachtungsperson zeigen. Anstelle einer Beobachtungsperson könnte natürlich auch eine entsprechende Kameraausrüstung vorgesehen sein, mittels welcher die Beobachtung des Zustandes der Dichtung erfolgt.After the bottle has run out, the stopper is properly aligned, can the bottle in a manner not shown with respect to the rotational position be aligned so that all stoppers face the observer. Instead of one Observer could of course also use appropriate camera equipment be provided, by means of which the observation of the state of the seal he follows.
