Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the capping of containers, in particular bottles.
  • capping machines of the revolving type which are equipped with a plurality of capping heads and with a plurality of plates for supporting the bottles.
  • the plates and the capping heads revolve in synchrony on the carousel so as to complete the capping cycle within the 360° arc of rotation.
  • the operational stages of the capping process may be summarized as follows: the container enters the carousel in synchrony with the capping head, on which the cap is already present. Specifically, the cap has previously been taken from the cap feed system and has then been precentred within the capping head.
  • the capping head actuated by a cam, is lowered into contact with the mouth of the container, on which it begins to exert the pressure necessary to secure the cap on the container.
  • the plate on which the bottle is supported is in actual fact a jack on which a calibrated spring acts.
  • This calibrated spring offsets the lowering of the capping head by exerting a reactive force which guarantees a predetermined and constant capping force irrespective of the height of the container.
  • the capping head is then raised, again by the action of the cam, so as to disengage from the container which can thus leave the capping carousel.
  • DE 17 82 378 A discloses a device for capping containers, wherein the linear actuator is linked to the capping head.
  • DE 25 26 234 A discloses a device that can be used in filling and closing machines, in which the respective filling or closing head remains stationary and the bottle is lifted towards the respective head.
  • GB 1 079 120 A discloses a capping machine comprising a helical spring that acts between the upper surface of the piston and the inner surface of the upper portion of the outer body of the capping device.
  • the object on which the present invention is based is therefore that of providing an apparatus for the capping of containers as specified in the attached apparatus claims.
  • a further object of the present invention is a method for the capping of containers as defined in the attached method claims.
  • the capping device forming the subject of the present invention designated as whole by the numeral 1, essentially comprises a capping head 2 and a plate 3 for supporting the container 4.
  • the capping head 2 and the plate 3 are securely fixed to the carousel (not shown in the drawings) by means of respective arms 5,5'.
  • a sleeve 6 Fixed on the arm 5 of the capping head 2, for example by means of a screw/nut system, is a sleeve 6 in which the outer body 7 of the said capping head is slidingly accommodated.
  • Guide bushings 8 are disposed between the sleeve 6 and the hollow body 7.
  • the outer body 7 of the capping head is hollow and slidingly accommodates within it the capping element 9.
  • the said capping element 9 possesses an upper portion 9' in sliding engagement with the inner surface of the outer body 7 and the lower portion 9".
  • the upper portion 9' is substantially cylindrical and is in turn composed of two sections of different diameters, the lower section having a lesser diameter, so as to permit the seating of a guide bushing 10.
  • the lower portion 9" of the capping element 9, by contrast, is of frustoconical shape, so as to create a seat for a restoring spring 11 between its outer surface and the inner surface of the outer body 7.
  • the spring 11 exerts pressure at one end on the shoulder made at the point of connection between the upper portion 9' and the lower portion 9" of the capping element 9, and at the other end on a flange 12 protruding from the inner surface of the outer body 7. In this way, the capping element 9 is held in the raised position within the outer body 7.
  • a seating is made for a calibrated spring 13, preferably of the polyurethane elastomer type.
  • the calibrated spring 13 exerts pressure on the upper surface of the capping element 9 and on the inner surface of the upper end 7' of the outer body 7.
  • the capping element 9 possesses magnets at its lower end by means of which the crown cap 14 is retained.
  • the upper end 7' of the outer body 7 of the capping head 2 is linked to the piston 15 which is connected to a linear actuator 16.
  • the actuator 16 is a linear motor of the brushless type. Motors which may be used as linear motors include synchronous permanent magnet motors and asynchronous linear induction motors.
  • the said linear actuator 16 is connected to a control and monitoring unit for regulating the capping force relative to a predetermined value.
  • the control and monitoring unit may, for example, perform the following functions:
  • the control and monitoring unit may also:
  • Figure 2a shows the device according to the invention in a capping phase in which the crown cap 14 has already been gripped by the capping head 2 and has been precentred by means of an upward movement followed by a downward movement of the outer body 7 relative to the capping element 9.
  • This precentring phase is performed in a conventional manner and will therefore not be described in detail.
  • the capping head 2 is then lowered until it comes into contact with the neck of the bottle by means of a downward vertical movement of the piston 15 driven by the linear actuator 16.
  • the capping phase in the true sense begins, providing for two consecutive phases.
  • the capping head 2 continues its downward descent, while the capping element 9 maintains its initial position in contact with the neck of the bottle.
  • the calibrated spring 13 is compressed until it exerts on the cap 14 a reactive force sufficient to cause the deformation of the inner lining of the said cap.
  • the replacement of the cam with a linear actuator 16 allows the number of mechanical parts subject to wear, and therefore to constant maintenance, to be dispensed with or at least reduced to the essential minimum.
  • This advantage is particularly apparent as the actuator 16 is a brushless linear motor. The reason is that this type of motor operates by direct engagement and does not involve the use of ball screws, gears or pulleys.
  • a further advantage is obtained by making use of a control and monitoring unit of the type described above.
  • This control and monitoring unit makes it possible to adjust the capping force relative to a predetermined value. This is reflected, in substance, in the possibility of adjusting the travel of the piston 15 completely automatically as a function of the size of the bottle to be capped.
  • the piston stroke is fixed and it is therefore necessary to prearrange the calibrated spring below the plate to ensure a predetermined capping force.
  • Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the linear actuator 16 is connected via the piston 15 to the plate 3.
  • the actuator 16 is a brushless electric linear motor.
  • the control and monitoring unit will act to regulate the capping force, as was described above.
  • the mode of functioning of the device is substantially analogous to what was described above, with the difference that, in this case, it will be the plate 3 that moves vertically while the capping head 2 will remain substantially fixed.
  • control and monitoring unit will read, by means of appropriate recording means, the height of the bottle subject to capping, will compare the recorded value with a reference value, and consequently will send a control signal to the linear actuator 16 so as to adjust the stroke of the piston and, therefore, the capping force.
  • control and monitoring unit will comprise means for recording the force applied to the container, for example by means of measurement with a dynamometer of the reactive force to which the capping head is subjected, the recorded value of which will then be compared with a predetermined reference value, and a control signal will then be sent to the linear actuator 16 for the adjustment of the capping force.
