Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of the claim.
  • Devices or machines, in particular also such a circumferential design, for closing bottles with caps by screwing are basically known (US 20 76 631).
  • the closure caps used in this case consist for example of metal (eg aluminum), but preferably also of plastic. They are prefabricated with an internal thread, with which they are screwed to close on the provided at the mouth of the bottle outer thread of the bottle and tightened there with a predetermined torque.
  • a device for closing bottles or the same container with closure or screw caps with several on the circumference of a circumferential around a vertical machine axis Toward known rotor formed closing positions, where the container to be closed at a container inlet hand over and the sealed containers at a container outlet be removed.
  • Each closing position has a container carrier and one at a lower end with a screw head provided to a container or spindle axis (SA) rotatably mounted Screw on, which is around its spindle axis (SA) by a drive is rotatably rotatable, the drive of the screw spindles in terms of transferred to the screw heads Torque and / or the speed of the screw heads adjustable or is controllable.
  • SA container or spindle axis
  • SA spindle axis
  • the generally designated 1 in the figures device is used for sealing containers, namely bottles 2 with closure or screw caps 3, which are made of a suitable material, for example made of metal (aluminum) or plastic and have a prefabricated internal thread, with the they can be screwed onto the bottle outer thread 4 provided in the area of the bottle mouth for closing a bottle 2.
  • closure or screw caps 3 which are made of a suitable material, for example made of metal (aluminum) or plastic and have a prefabricated internal thread, with the they can be screwed onto the bottle outer thread 4 provided in the area of the bottle mouth for closing a bottle 2.
  • To close the upright bottles 2 are passed from a feed dog, not shown via a bottle inlet of the device 1 forming starter 5 each successively to one of Verschdorfpositionen 6, which provided on the circumference of about a vertical machine axis VA in the direction of arrow
  • a rotatably driven rotor 7 are, at even angular intervals distributed about the axis VA.
  • each occlusion position 6 a vessel or bottle carrier or bottle holder 9 is provided for receiving and holding a bottle 2 arranged parallel or approximately parallel to the axis VA with its bottle axis. Furthermore, each closing position 6 is assigned a separate ringwellensatz 10 above the bottle holder 9, which has, inter alia, with its axis SA parallel to the axis VA screw shaft 11 with a lower screw head 12.
  • each bottle and thus the respective bottle holder with revolving rotor 7 a controlled vertical lifting movement such that each screw head 12 received at a transfer position 13 each have a screw cap, then subsequently the mouth of the bottle against the Screw cap is moved and there screwed by turning the spindle 11 about the spindle axis SA and tightened with a predetermined torque.
  • the transfer position 13 is provided in the direction of rotation A of the rotor 7 between the outlet star 8 and the inlet star 5.
  • the transfer position 13, the screw or closure caps 3 are fed via a feed 14 from a magazine, not shown, in the required orientation and in a single-track row next to each other.
  • the transfer position 13 is located below the movement path on which the screw heads 12 rotate when the rotor 7 rotates.
  • FIG. 2 shows the rotor 7 in the form of a column 71 in or on which the usual rotation elements, media guides, control and electrical lines and connections and other required machine and electrical parts and data carriers are arranged and housed.
  • This column 71 receives the outwardly directed closure device either on a rotor plate 16 or star-shaped open holding arms.
  • the closure devices are essentially free of inputs and / or conversions and as open as technically possible designed to provide optimum accessibility for all machine parts, especially for optimal cleaning and disinfection tasks.
  • the closure device 6 is mounted with its screw shaft 10 and the screw shaft 11 and the screw head 12 and the drive 15 in an upper rotor plate 16 from all sides substantially freely accessible.
  • a support rod 17 is provided, the upper end of which is advantageously in the rotor plate so deemed if the bearing itself can be subjected to intensive cleaning and disinfection.
  • the carrier rod 17 is mounted at a distance from the axis SA to the center of the rotor 7 down below in a further rotor plate 18 of smaller diameter and receives the actual vessel holding device or the bottle holder 9. This is moved by means of the trailing of the cam roller 19 of the support rod 17 control cam 20 vertically movable against the screw heads 12 and back.
  • the ejector 21 for unused and / or stuck or not removed from the closing position closures or screw caps 3 is provided on the height-adjustable support rod 17.
  • the ejector 21 itself is mounted vertically movable on the screw shaft and can against the force of the spring 22 of the Auswerfer Kunststoffstange 23, which is appropriately height-adjustable together with the bottle holder 9, down to remove a screw cap 3 are driven.
  • ejector fingers 24 are provided, which move in the cavity 25 a printing plate 26 connected to them, as can be seen in particular from FIG.
  • the rotor plates 16 and 18 may suitably be dressed obliquely downwards from the central axis VA or have special formations which allow a safe cleaning and drainage of cleaning fluids and the like.
  • the column 71 itself may have 27 outgoing cleaning and disinfection facilities. However, such disinfection devices can also be arranged to be stationarily stationary at least or additionally on the outer circumference of rotation.
  • Such a sealing machine are preferably the most sensitive or troubled bearing points cleaning and / or trained disinfectant.
  • the springs, spring devices and movable elements also cleanable and accordingly open access.
  • veralufende supply bores be, for example, in the cavity 25 end.
