Description

Beim Erwerb von in Flaschen mit Schraubverschlüssen abgefüllten Getränken wünscht der Verbraucher, sicher erkennen zu können, ob die vorliegende Flasche nach dem Verlassen des Abfüllbetriebes bereits geöffnet wurde, oder ob sie unberührt und frei von fremden Einbringungen und Verschmutzungen den Weg zu ihm gefunden hat. Zur Realisierung dieser Aufgabe wurden verschiedene Arten von Schraubverschlüssen mit Sicherungsring entwickelt, welche dem Kunden sicher anzeigen, ob eine Flasche mit Schraubverschluss nach dem Verlassen des Abfüllbetriebes schon einmal geöffnet wurde oder nicht.When purchasing beverages bottled with screw caps the consumer wishes to be able to recognize with certainty whether the present bottle has already been opened after leaving the bottling plant, or whether it is unaffected and free of foreign contributions and dirt the way to him has found. Different types of Screw closures with locking ring developed, which safely indicate to the customer whether a bottle with a screw cap after leaving the bottling plant has been opened before or not.

Im wesentlichen haben sich zur Zeit zwei Arten von Sicherungsringen am Markt durchgesetzt.There are essentially two types of circlips on the market at the moment enforced.

Bei der ersten Variante wird der Sicherungsring beim Öffnen der Schraubverschlussflasche als ganzes vom Schraubverschluss abgetrennt und verbleibt anschließend als geschlossener Ring in einer Position unterhalb des Schraubgewindes der Flasche. Zur Entfernung derartiger Sicherungsringe sind mehrere Vorrichtungen bekannt geworden, so z.B. DE 27 29 980 und DE 32 09 805.In the first variant, the locking ring is opened when the screw cap bottle is opened separated as a whole from the screw cap and then remains as a closed ring in a position below the screw thread of the bottle. Several devices are known for removing such locking rings become, e.g. DE 27 29 980 and DE 32 09 805.

Bei der zweiten Variante handelt es sich um Sicherungsringe, welche an ihrem Umfang mindestens eine Sollbruchstelle aufweisen. Des weiteren sind diese Sicherungsringe auf spezielle Weise mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden. Zunächst ist ein relativ kleiner Teil des Sicherungsringes fest mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden. Ein weiterer, weitaus größerer Teil des Sicherungsringes ist nur punktuell mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden und weist demzufolge große Bereiche auf, die nicht mit der Verschlusskappe verbunden sind. Diese Ausgestaltung hat zur Folge, dass der Sicherungsring beim Öffnen des Schraubverschlusses an einer Stelle aufreißt und somit die Flaschenöffnung freigibt. In vielen Fällen verbleiben nach dem Öffnen einer Flasche alle Teile eines Sicherungsringes am Schraubverschluss. Dabei kann es vorkommen, dass der aufgerissene Sicherungsring im wesentlichen radial vom Schraubverschluss absteht und somit deutlich über die Kontur des Schraubverschlusses hinausragt.The second variant is circlips, which on their circumference have at least one predetermined breaking point. Furthermore, these are circlips connected to the cap in a special way. First is a relatively small part of the locking ring firmly connected to the cap. On Another, much larger part of the circlip is only selectively with the cap connected and therefore has large areas that are not related to the Cap are connected. This configuration means that the retaining ring opens at one point when opening the screw cap and thus releases the bottle opening. In many cases, one remains after opening Bottle all parts of a locking ring on the screw cap. It can occur that the torn retaining ring essentially radially from Screw cap protrudes and thus clearly over the contour of the screw cap protrudes.

Im Rahmen des normalen Verbraucherverhaltens kommt es häufig vor, dass Verbraucher nach dem Entleeren einer Mehrwegflasche mit Schraubverschluss diese durch das Aufschrauben eines Schraubverschlusses wieder verschließen und diese verschlossene Flasche an die Rücknahmestellen des Handels zurückgeben. In the context of normal consumer behavior, it often happens that consumers after emptying a reusable bottle with a screw cap by screwing on a screw cap and close it again Return the sealed bottle to the retailer.

Diese Vorgehensweise führt innerhalb der Abfüllbetriebe insbesondere dann zu Schwierigkeiten, wenn es sich bei den aufgeschraubten Schraubverschlüssen um solche handelt, bei denen der aufgerissene und am Schraubverschluss verbliebene Sicherungsring in den freien Raum ragt. Diese abstehenden Sicherungsringe können insbesondere innerhalb der Transportanlagen und der Entschrauber zu Funktionsstörungen und Betriebsunterbrechungen führen.This procedure leads in particular to the bottling plants Difficulties when it comes to the screw-on screw caps acts in which the torn and remaining on the screw cap Circlip protrudes into free space. These protruding circlips can in particular within the transport systems and the unscrewers to malfunctions and lead to business interruptions.

Da zur Zeit keine technischen Lösungen zur Behebung dieses Problems bekannt sind, ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung hier Abhilfe und Verbesserung zu schaffen, so dass eine Vorrichtung geschaffen wird, welche abstehende Sicherungsringe an aufgeschraubten Schraubverschlüssen einfach und zuverlässig entfernt. Dazu ist vorgesehen dass eine, an einem Transporteur angeordnete Schneidevorrichtung diese Sicherungsringe entfernt.As there are currently no technical solutions known to solve this problem are, it is the object of the present invention to remedy and improve this create, so that a device is created, which protruding locking rings easily and reliably removed from screw-on screw caps. For this purpose, it is provided that a cutting device arranged on a conveyor removed these snap rings.

Im nachfolgenden wird eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt

A device according to the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment. It shows
Figure 1
an overall perspective view of a device according to the invention

Zur Befestigung und zum Aufbau aller wesentlichen Bestandteile einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist zunächst ein aus Rohren beliebigen Querschnitts oder anderen Bauteilen gebildetes Gestell 1 vorgesehen. Um die gesamte Vorrichtung auf einfache Art und Weise in übliche Gesamtanlagen integrieren zu können, und um die Flaschen an der vorgesehenen Behandlungsstation vorbeiführen zu können, ist innerhalb des Gestells 1 ein Transporteur 2 bekannter Bauart vorgesehen, welcher in der Figur 1 stark vereinfacht dargestellt ist.
Beidseitig des Transporteurs 2 sind innerhalb des Gestells 1 weitere Mittel zum gezielten Transport der Flaschen vorgesehen. Diese Mittel gliedern sich im wesentlichen in zwei Baugruppen welche jeweils an einer Seite des Transporteurs an jeweils einem Träger 8 angeordnet sind. Wesentlicher Bestandteil der Baugruppen sind die vorgesehenen Antriebsmotoren 3. Dabei sind, um eine komfortable Steuerung und Leistungsanpassung der Vorrichtung zu ermöglichen, Servomotoren vorgesehen. In weiteren zweckmäßigen Ausbildungen der Erfindung können auch andere sinnvolle Kombinationen von Motoren und Steuerungseinrichtungen vorgesehen sein. Durch diese Antriebsmotoren 3 werden anhand von Zahnriemenscheiben 4 zugehörige Zahnriemen 6 angetrieben, welche durch Umlenkrollen 5 so geführt werden, dass sie im wesentlichen parallel zur Transportrichtung des Transporteurs ausgerichtet sind. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung sind die Umlenkrollen 5 derart angeordnet, dass die Zahnriemen, in Transportrichtung gesehen, zunächst einen Einlauftrichter bilden, welcher die Flaschen sicher in die Behandlungszone führt, und dass sie dann in einen Bereich mit parallel angeordneten Zahnriemen 6 übergehen. Im Anschluss an den parallelen Teil ist vorgesehen, dass die Zahnriemen 6 einen Auslauftrichter bilden, welcher die Flaschen aus der Führung durch die Zahnriemen entlässt und sie wieder dem Transporteur 2 übergibt.For the attachment and construction of all essential components of a device according to the invention, a frame 1 formed from pipes of any cross-section or other components is first provided. In order to be able to easily integrate the entire device into conventional overall systems and to be able to guide the bottles past the treatment station provided, a conveyor 2 of known design is provided within the frame 1, which is shown in a very simplified form in FIG.
On both sides of the transporter 2, further means for the targeted transport of the bottles are provided within the frame 1. These means are essentially divided into two assemblies, each of which is arranged on a carrier 8 on one side of the conveyor. The drive motors 3 provided are an essential component of the assemblies. Servomotors are provided in order to enable convenient control and power adjustment of the device. Other useful combinations of motors and control devices can also be provided in further expedient embodiments of the invention. By means of toothed belt pulleys 4, associated toothed belts 6 are driven by these drive motors 3, which are guided by deflection rollers 5 such that they are aligned essentially parallel to the transport direction of the transporter. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the device, the deflection rollers 5 are arranged in such a way that the toothed belts, seen in the direction of transport, first form an inlet funnel which guides the bottles safely into the treatment zone, and that they then pass into an area with toothed belts 6 arranged in parallel. Following the parallel part, it is provided that the toothed belts 6 form an outlet funnel which releases the bottles from being guided by the toothed belts and passes them back to the transporter 2.

Für den Bereich des Einlauf- und des Auslauftrichters ist vorgesehen, dass die Zahnriemen jeweils einspurig ausgeführt sind, wobei auch mehrspurige Ausgestaltungen realisierbar sind. Zur Realisierung der Aufgabe der Erfindung und zur Verbesserung der Führung der Flaschen unterliegt der parallele Teil der Zahnriemenführung einer besonderen Ausgestaltung. Zum einen weist die Zahnriemenführung auf einer Seite eine zweispurige Auslegung mit zwei auf Abstand angeordneten Zahnriemen auf, und zum anderen ist der Zahnriemen auf der, der zweispurigen Zahnriemenführung gegenüberliegenden Seite durch eine Abrollplatte 7 ersetzt. Die Oberfläche der Abrollplatte 7 kann bevorzugter weise aus einem Stoff mit hohem Reibungskoeffizienten bestehen und/oder mit einem derartigen Stoff beschichtet sein.For the area of the inlet and outlet funnels, the toothed belt is provided are each designed with one track, with multi-track configurations are realizable. To achieve the object of the invention and to improve the parallel part of the toothed belt guide is subject to the guidance of the bottles special design. On the one hand, the toothed belt guide points to one side a two-track design with two toothed belts spaced apart, and on the other hand the toothed belt is on the two-track toothed belt guide opposite side replaced by a rolling plate 7. The surface of the rolling plate 7 can preferably be made of a fabric with a high coefficient of friction exist and / or be coated with such a substance.

Die Zahnriemen 6 der zweispurigen Anordnung werden durch einen separaten Servomotor angetrieben. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Translationsgeschwindigkeit der Flaschen in diesem Bereich der Vorrichtung zu beeinflussen. Während des Passierens dieses Bereiches wälzen sich die Flaschen mit ihrem Umfang an der Abrollplatte 7 ab, so dass sie gleichzeitig um ihre Hochachse rotiert. Bei einer weiteren, besonders vorteilhaften und über den bekannten Stand der Technik weit hinaus reichenden Weiterbildung der Vorrichtung, ist vorgesehen, dass anstelle der Abrollplatte 7 eine weitere, ebenfalls mit einem separatem Antriebsmotor versehene, zweispurige Zahnriemenführung angeordnet wird. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung können durch die geeignete Wahl der unabhängig von einander einstellbaren Parameter Zahnriemengeschwindigkeiten und Laufrichtungen der Zahnriemen die, für eine sichere Entfernung der Sicherungsringe ausschlaggebenden Prozessparameter, wie z.B. Translationsgeschwindigkeit und Rotationswinkel der Flasche während der Passage der Behandlungszone, in weiten Grenzen frei gewählt und eingestellt werden.The toothed belt 6 of the two-track arrangement are by a separate servo motor driven. This makes it possible to change the translation speed of the Influence bottles in this area of the device. While passing In this area, the bottles roll with their circumference on the rolling plate 7, so that it rotates around its vertical axis at the same time. Another, especially advantageous and far beyond the known prior art Further development of the device, it is provided that instead of the rolling plate 7 further, two-track toothed belt guide, also with a separate drive motor is arranged. In this configuration, the appropriate Selection of timing belt speed parameters that can be set independently of each other and running directions of the timing belts for safe removal the key process parameters, e.g. translational speed and angle of rotation of the bottle during the passage through the treatment zone, can be freely selected and set within wide limits.

Zur Anpassung der Vorrichtung an verschiedene Flaschenbreiten ist vorgesehen, dass die Träger 8 verstellbar sind, wobei die Position der Träger 8 im Bezug auf den Transporteur 2 geändert werden kann.To adapt the device to different bottle widths, that the carriers 8 are adjustable, the position of the carriers 8 with respect to the Transporter 2 can be changed.

Vorzugsweise oberhalb der oben beschriebenen Transportmittel befindet sich ein Motorträger 9, welcher, anhand geeigneter Mittel, derart am Gestell 1 befestigt ist, dass seine Position im Bezug zur Lage von Oberkante und Mittellinie des Transporteurs 2 im weiten Grenzen manuell oder automatisch einstellbar ist.A is preferably located above the means of transport described above Motor mount 9, which is fastened to the frame 1 in this way using suitable means, that its position in relation to the location of the top edge and center line of the feed dog 2 can be set manually or automatically within wide limits.

An diesem Motorträger 9 befindet sich ein Motor 10 zum Antrieb der Schneidmesser 11. Die Schneidmesser 11 können z.B. direkt auf der Motorwelle des Motors 10 angeordnet sein. Dabei ist es besonders zweckmäßig, die Schneidmesser 11 mit einem solchen Abstand zueinander anzuordnen, dass ihr Abstand nur wenig größer ist, als der Durchmesser eines aufgeschraubten Schraubverschlusses, so dass eine Flasche mit aufgeschraubtem Schraubverschluss gerade zwischen den beiden Schneidmessern 11 hindurch geführt werden kann.A motor 10 for driving the cutting knives is located on this motor mount 9 11. The cutting knives 11 can e.g. arranged directly on the motor shaft of the motor 10 his. It is particularly useful to have the cutting knife 11 with a to arrange such a distance that their distance is only slightly larger than the diameter of a screw cap, making a bottle with screw-on screw cap straight between the two cutting blades 11 can be passed through.

Sind die Schneidmesser 11 wie oben beschrieben angeordnet, so wird ein eventuell vorhandener, abstehender Sicherungsring beim Passieren der Vorrichtung durch die gleichzeitige Rotationsbewegung der Flasche sicher in den Arbeitsbereich der Schneidmesser 11 geführt, wo dieser dann zuverlässig abgetrennt wird.If the cutting knives 11 are arranged as described above, a possibly Existing, protruding circlip when passing through the device simultaneous rotation of the bottle safely in the work area of the Cutting knife 11 out, where it is then reliably separated.
