Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for closing plastic bottles, in particular of PET bottles, according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • the invention addresses the problem of a locking device of plastic bottles, especially PET bottles, to create one Feeding of a sealing plate and its complete sealing on the filling opening a bottle within one work cycle with increased performance.
  • the device according to the invention is designed as a compact structural unit, with an advantageously short delivery distance directly behind a filling station can be arranged and the feeder in just one work cycle a sealing plate and its complete sealing on the filling opening of the Bottle allows.
  • a sealing plate and its complete sealing on the filling opening of the Bottle allows.
  • the offset of the working plane of the transfer device to the middle level in preparation for receiving the sealing plate bottle can pick up a sealing plate and move it down independent of the opening of the bottle provided from the sealing process, the laying process being a short Reduced sideways movement of a board carrier. After the laying process can seal a placed sealing board and the transport of a subsequent seal board run independently of each other at the same time, so that productivity is increased by shortening the clock.
  • a Interruption of the conveying and / or filling process is only a single one defective, because filled, but not yet closed bottle from the To remove the conveyor as a committee, so that losses remain low.
  • Fig. 1 is a generally designated 1 closing device for those intended in particular as PET bottles Plastic bottles 2 shown in a horizontal running conveyor track F by not shown Means of transport in a clocked order from an aseptic Sterilization area B in the area of a filling and fumigation station 3, from which the respective Plastic bottle 2 in the illustrated with 2 ' Processing position for a closing process.
  • this area of the conveyor track F is one with a magazine 4 for closure parts 5 provided transfer device 6 arranged by means of a closure part 5 each taken from magazine 4 and after going through an in largely closed interior 7 of the transfer device 6 formed sterilization path on the filling opening 8 of the bottle 2 'in preparation becomes. Then the bottle 2 'by means of a closing tool 9 (Fig. 2) closed.
  • the transfer device 6 is designed such that the sealing plates removed from the magazine 4 as closure parts 5 by a rotary movement D in the area of Filling opening 8 of the bottles 2 'provided be relocated.
  • the next work cycle Sealing board 5 on the edge area surrounding the filling opening 8 the bottle remaining in its supply 2 'hung up and sealed.
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 illustrate that the transfer device 6 is a working level A has the side to the vertical, to Bottle conveying direction (arrow F ') parallel central plane M the bottles 2, 2 'is offset (distance C, Fig. 3) along which moves the bottles 2, 2 'clocked (distance T, Fig. 1).
  • the transfer device 6 is included Board carriers 11 provided for the placement of the sealing board 5 temporarily from working level A to the one provided in the plane M on the filling path F.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates that the transfer device 6 a star wheel 12 distributed over the circumference arranged board supports 11, each are designed as angled suction tubes 13 (Fig. 2). These can with their end bearing the sealing plate 5 from the working plane A of the star wheel 12 Circular path (rotation D) by a horizontal swivel movement (Arrow S, Fig. 5) in the central plane M of the provided Bottle 2 'to be relocated.
  • This can be done in each case a single swivel drive, e.g. B. magnetic drive (not shown) or a common drive means, e.g. B. curve control (not shown) may be provided.
  • the different phases of movement of the intake manifold 13 2 to 4 illustrate in conjunction with Fig. 5 that the board carrier 11 is pivotally supported on the star wheel 12 is.
  • FIG. 2 shows that above the Filling opening 8 sealing tool in preparation 9, one vertically in and out of sealing engagement (Arrow G) movable seal head 14.
  • Arrow G movable seal head 14.
  • the end of the sealing head 14 is a guide ring projecting above it 15 provided by a seal head 14 independent vertical movement (arrow G ') engaging with reaches the area of the filling opening 8 (FIG. 3). Doing so the sealing plate 5 by the downward movement (arrow G ') moved towards the bottle 2 '.
  • the guide ring 15 is the sealing plate 5 during the sealing process (Fig. 3) fixed and the ring width (opening diameter) of the Guide ring 15 is dimensioned such that a free Passage for the sealing head 14 is given.
  • the guide ring 15 has a lateral recess (not shown) provided in the area of the ring wall 16 for the board support 11 when it moves in the board delivery position (Fig. 2) forms a passage when the Board support 11 above the filling opening 8 of the provided Bottle 2 'pivoted into the position shown becomes.
  • the movement phases according to FIGS. 2 to 4 illustrate that the sealing head 14 of the closing device 1 an initial position above the guide ring 15 in its Starting position (Fig. 2).
  • the sealing head 14 remains also in the first closing phase (Fig. 3) above the range of motion of the circuit board support 11 to this is shifted via the filling opening 8 of the bottle 2 'and the guide ring 15 by means of its carrier 15 'to the bottle 2 'is shifted towards (stroke H).
  • the sealing board 5 held by the suction pipe 13 and on the edge gripped by the guide ring 15 so that a positionally accurate cover the filling opening 8 takes place.
  • the diameter R of the Sealing board 5 is selected so that the filling opening 8 and with an overlapping part of the sealing plate 5 an edge-side region of the bottle neck 17 is overlapped becomes.
  • the board carrier 11 moved back into its starting position (Fig. 1) and the sealing head designed as a heating plate or the like 14 lowered onto the sealing plate 5, so that in the edge area the filling opening 8 is sealed. After that will guide ring 15 and sealing head 14 together in your Moved back to the starting position.
  • the sealing plate 5 is applied and its gas-tight connection to the plastic bottle 2 in a single machine cycle.
  • the sealing plate 5 is removed from the magazine 4 in such a way that the side of the sealing plate 5 facing the bottle opening 8 is then completely sterilized and there is no contact with other, contaminated surfaces of the filling station during this sterilization process in the interior 7 of the transfer device 6.
  • H 2 O 2 aerosol in particular is used for sterilization.
  • the sterilization takes place in the area of the sealing plate which is not covered by the suction tube 13, the suction tube 13 engaging in particular in the center of the sealing plate 5, and thus the sterilization is also ensured in the area of the sealing edge.
  • the sealing plate 5 (FIG. 4) is placed on the filling opening 8, the side of the sealing plate 5 facing the product remains unaffected, so that recontamination is impossible.
  • the closure device 1 faces the transfer device 6 and the closing tool 9 two independently of one another usable assemblies, with the sealing head 14 (including a corresponding heating part) from with a sterilization device (not shown) in the area of the star wheel 12 provided transfer device 6 is spatially separated. These assemblies will needed once per conveyor tracks F (Fig. 5).
