Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Closing machines for closing containers such as e.g. Bottles, cans, canisters or the like, by the placement or screwing of caps made of metal or plastic, each with or without already formed thread, are basically known, such. from US 20 76 631 or from EP 0521581.
  • a plurality of sealing positions distributed uniformly around the circumference of a revolving machine rotor are formed, to which the containers to be closed are transferred to a container inlet and the sealed containers are removed from a container outlet.
  • Each Verschlotposition has a container carrier and a provided at a lower end with a screw head to a container or spindle axis rotatably mounted screw spindle which is driven to rotate about its spindle axis by a drive, the drive of the screw spindle with respect to the transferred to the screw heads Torque and / or the speed of the screw heads is adjustable or controllable.
  • the screw caps are taken from a, attached to each closing element driver and transported up an inclined plane. During this upward movement, the screw caps are pressed into the, just above them screw heads where they enter into a clamping connection with the screw head. By doing so, the screw caps are provided for the subsequent closing operation.
  • the containers to be closed are raised and thus against the spring-loaded screw heads, or against the in the Screwed screw closures are pressed, whereupon they are screwed by the rotationally driven screw heads on the container mouths. Subsequently, the now closed containers are lowered again and led out of the capping machine at the container outlet.
  • the present invention is particularly concerned with sealing containers such as e.g. Bottles, cans or canisters with screw caps, these being equipped with a ready-formed thread.
  • EP 1 295 842 A1 proposes to geometrically adapt the underside of the container support to the diameter of the container neck to be accommodated. This procedure is intended to ensure that the closed container, in the event that it is jammed with the screw head, is reliably pulled out of the screw head by the downward movement of the container support through it.
  • a disadvantage of this device is that the exclusively provided adaptation of the underside of the container support to the diameter of the male neck of the container does not result in the container being pulled out of the screw head safely, quickly and without damage. Rather, it can come through the intended geometric design of the device to tilting and thus damage to the container and / or closing machine.
  • the object and aim of the present invention is to provide a device which avoids the disadvantages described above safely.
  • the invention provides to equip the container carrier with a particularly advantageous designed container support, which includes means that cause a secure separation of screw head and screw cap.
  • the container support 1 initially has a recess 2 which, in its geometric shape, is essentially adapted to the contour and / or the diameter of the container neck to be accommodated.
  • the container 3 and screwed with this screw 4 are sure to be pulled out of the screw head, not shown, so that the container 3 parked in the further course of the downward movement on a corresponding receptacle of the capping machine and then separated from the container receptacle can.
  • the present invention which is suitable in particular for the processing of containers 3, which have a neck ring 6, provides the container support 1 with an additional hold-down 7. As shown in Figure 2, this hold-down 7 enters into operative connection with the neck ring 6 and prevents withdrawal of the screw 4 from the screw head possible vertical movements of the container 3 almost completely, whereby a separation is achieved safely. Also, the outer contour of the container 3 is reliably protected from damage by this approach.
  • the underside of the container support 1 is adapted to the spatial shape of the container 3. This procedure is particularly advantageous because in this way damage to the container, which can occur especially in existing plastic containers when the container 3 must be pulled with great force from the screw heads, can be safely avoided.
  • This at least one locking element 5 may be e.g. to act a spring element which exerts a clamping action on the container 3.
  • the locking element or elements 5 may be elements which cause an increase in friction between the container 3 and the container support 1.
  • here are e.g. Elements made of rubber and / or plastic, flat element with appropriate coatings and specially roughened surfaces called.
  • these elements may also, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, be elements which, due to a spring action and / or their geometric shape, counteract a rotational movement of the container 3.
  • these elements e.g. referenced spring washers or resilient toothed disks, which u.a. are known from the field of screw lock.
  • the scope of the present invention covers both embodiments in which the locking element (s) 5 act directly on the container neck, as well as embodiments in which the elements act on a possibly present neck ring 6 of the container.
