Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sterilization device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • US 1 837 502 shows a generic device, which also has two towers to form a specialistsslüngsumble.
  • caps serves to transport caps in a continuous single-lane, or possibly also multi-lane stream on a track for a long time.
  • the caps can be acted upon during this time, for example, with a sterile gas or they are applied before entering the illustrated sterilizer with a sterilizing liquid, such as H 2 O 2 , in the device is evaporated by air and heat.
  • a sterilizing liquid such as H 2 O 2
  • the known generic construction has a tower with support rings, wherein the transfer chutes connect support rings of different floors of the same tower. Caps are transported on a web, in which they are alternately successively on support rings or transfer slides. On the carrying rings, they are dragged by friction, so driven, while they passively pass on the transfer slides. As shown in the generic state of the art executed constructions, results in a very trouble-free transport, occur in particular no congestion problems.
  • the transfer slides In the known generic construction, the transfer slides must wrap around the tower over a certain circumferential angle of, for example, 45 °, so extend in plan view on a substantially extending in the circumferential direction web. In addition, they must bridge the height difference between a floor, which is essentially determined by the highest processable cap. Since they must run horizontally on both support rings, which they open with their ends, the transfer slides must have a downward curvature in the height direction and a subsequent upward curvature. In some areas, the transfer chutes must therefore be formed in their surface substantially in the manner of a helical surface.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to improve a generic sterilizing device to the effect that different cap shapes are processed without jamming danger.
  • two or more towers are provided, wherein the transfer chutes each connect support rings of different towers.
  • the mutual tilting of the caps can be reduced both around the longitudinal axis and about the transverse axis and the resulting risk of pinching, so that even unusual cap shapes, in particular the sports caps mentioned above and the very flat sealing caps can be processed trouble-free.
  • the floors on which the support rings are arranged can be in the same height in both towers. Then the caps run over several towers either at the same height, ie horizontally or in a downward movement to bridge a floor space.
  • the features of claim 2 are provided. Thereafter, the floors in the two towers are offset in height. From each tower to the next only part of the floor level must be overcome, so that there is a greatly reduced height movement for the transfer paths.
  • the floors are advantageously offset by half a floor against each other, so that the transfer slides between the towers must overcome only half a floor height.
  • the transfer chutes may extend between the towers on top in a winding plan view, the radii according to the invention may be substantially larger than in the prior art and thus the wedging risk is reduced.
  • the features of claim 3 are provided. With the invention, this possibility arises, namely to connect supporting rings of adjacent towers with in plan view completely straight transfer lanes, so that thereby the tilting and thus Verklemmgefahr is substantially reduced.
  • the transfer chutes can run on the support rings in plan view at a slight angle, which can improve on the traversed by the cap web the aspect ratio between traversed support rings and transfer chutes in favor of the support rings, so the caps are longer on the driving support rings.
  • the features of claim 4 are provided. By tangential inlet results in an ideal trouble-free decrease or abandonment on support rings.
  • a construction results in which the transfer chutes are arranged as tangents to the respectively connected support rings.
  • the support rings of the two towers can be driven in opposite directions of rotation. In tangential arrangement of the transfer chutes these would then run crossed between the towers.
  • the features of claim 5 are provided.
  • the transfer slides can be formed as from the outside of the support rings tangents, resulting in a particularly simple and trouble-free design and in particular avoids problems with the floor by floor crossing counter-propagating Matterthakungsloisen, as would arise in opposite direction of rotation.
  • the inventively provided support rings since they are all on the same trajectory of the caps, must all be driven at the same peripheral speed. It is therefore quite possible to form support rings within a tower with different diameters for special design reasons.
  • the support rings of a tower may have a different diameter than that of the other tower.
  • the features of claim 6 are provided. If all support rings are the same size, results in a particularly simple construction with replaceable identical parts.
  • two towers stand side by side at a distance. Their center distance is greater than the sum of their Tragringradien.
  • the features of claim 6 may be provided when the floors of the two towers are arranged offset from one another. It can then the support rings intermeshing, laterally overlapping arranged, so that per floor, the sum of the radii of the support rings is greater than the distance between the axes of the two towers.
  • the overall size of the construction can be significantly reduced and it shortens the length of the tangentially connecting the towers transfer chutes, so that improves the ratio of driven way (on the support rings) to braking slipping way (on the transfer chutes) for the caps.
  • a first embodiment of a sterilizer serves to transport caps in a continuous single-lane, or possibly also multi-lane stream on a track for a long time.
  • the caps can be acted upon during this time, for example, with a sterile gas or they are applied before entering the illustrated sterilizer with a sterilizing liquid, such as H 2 O 2 , which is evaporated in the device by air and heat.
  • a sterilizing liquid such as H 2 O 2 , which is evaporated in the device by air and heat.
  • the continuous stream of caps should be applied in the device for a long time, so cover a longer path. Nevertheless, the volume of construction of the device should be kept small.
  • the device shown on two towers 1 and 2 which are constructed substantially identical. Each of them has a drum 4 carried by a column 3, which carries annularly circumferentially attached to the drum 4, in four floors one above the other in the same floor space arranged support rings 5 carries.
  • the support rings 5 may be formed as closed or preferably perforated sheets, as grid floors or the like, the latter gas-permeable embodiments are preferred to ensure gas exchange to the bottom of caps 6, which lie on the support rings 5 and of those in FIG. 1 for reasons of simplified drawing only two copies are shown.
  • drums 4 and support rings 5 the two towers 1 and 2 are identical. They are, however, like FIG. 1 shows offset in height so that the floors of the tower 2 are lower by half a floor, than that of the tower. 1
  • Both columns 3 are coupled to the same direction synchronous circulation, in the embodiment via a drive belt 7, and driven by a common motor 8.
  • the two towers 1 and 2 are arranged in a space 9 which is enclosed by a housing 10.
  • a supply channel 11 Through the top opens into the housing 10, a supply channel 11, through which a feed chute 12 ends down and in arc with its end flat on the support ring 5 of the top floor of the tower 1.
  • the tail of the feed chute 12 is in the plan view of FIG. 2 to recognize.
  • the feed chute 12 is in its in FIG. 2 square end to be recognized U-shaped with lateral boundary walls, or formed as a closed profile, so as not to lose the caps even with vertical guidance.
  • FIG. 2 shows run caps 6 after leaving the feed chute 12 on the topmost support ring 5 of the top floor by 180 ° and then come to a running over transfer chute 13, which like the Figures 1 and 2 show the caps 6 from the support ring of the top floor of the tower 1 to the support ring the top floor of the tower 2 slidably transferred.
  • the transfer chute 13 is suitably arranged stationary, for example, attached to the housing 10.
  • the caps After leaving the running transfer chute 13, the caps run on the top support ring 5 of the tower 2 by 180 ° and reach a return transfer chute 14, which they from the support ring 5 of the top floor of the tower 2 to the support ring 5 of the next lower floor of the tower. 1 transferred.
  • a return transfer chute 14 In a corresponding manner then run the caps 6 with return and returning transfer chutes 13 and 14 between the towers 1, 2 back and forth and floor to floor down until they lie on the deepest support ring 5, which is the last of caps 6 rotate. In the embodiment, this is the lowest level of the tower 2.
  • the caps 6 on the feed chute 12 and the chute 15 run in the same orientation and in alignment with each other on the vertical parts of these chutes, which greatly simplifies installation in a straight vertical cap guide.
  • the reciprocating transfer chutes 13 and 14 open flat on the support rings for stolperante transfer of the caps 6 and have lateral boundary walls 17 for clean guidance of the caps 6.
  • the path of the caps 6 is also bounded laterally, on the one hand on the inside by the drums 4 of the two towers 1 and 2 and on the outside by stationary guide plates, which formed in the embodiment directly by the closely enclosing housing 10 are, in particular in FIG. 1 recognizable on the left side of the illustration. If, how shown, the transfer chutes 13 and 14 abut the wall of the housing 10, the outer boundary walls 17 can be omitted in them.
  • each transfer chute 13 or 14 must overcome only half a floor height, so that the tilt of the caps on the transfer chutes around their transversely to the direction of travel axis is low. Even very flat caps can be pushed neatly over the transfer chutes without sliding over each other at their low edges. In particular, in this construction, the disturbing combined tilting of the caps against each other about the longitudinal and the transverse axis is prevented.
  • the construction of the FIG. 1 be changed so that the floors are on the two towers 1 and 2 at the same height. Then each of the running transfer chutes 13 would be horizontal and the returning transfer chutes 14 would bridge the entire floor level.
  • Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment Fig. 1 in which the drums 4 are replaced by low webs 19 for inner lateral delimitation of the path of the caps 6.
  • the outer boundary for the caps 6 here again forms the stationary housing 10 and in the same way, as for FIG. 1 explained.
  • FIG. 4 shows in plan view accordingly FIG. 2 an embodiment in which the support rings 5 and 5 'of the towers 1 and 2 have different diameters and that are the support rings 5' of the drum 2 of larger diameter than the support rings 5 of the drum 1.
  • the reciprocating transfer chutes 13 and 14 extend in a corresponding manner tangentially to the support rings 5 and 5 '.
  • Both towers 1 and 2 turn in the same direction.
  • Your drive clutch for example by a drive belt 7, as in FIG. 1 explained, however, must be done in accordance with different sized pulleys so that the support rings Run 5 and 5 'at the same peripheral speed, as required for a jam-free transport of the caps 6.
  • the Ober Kunststoffun2sloisen 13 and 14 extend in a straightforward straight and run at their ends strictly tangential to the respectively connected support rings 5.
  • FIG. 2 shows, a relatively large length of the transfer chutes 13 and 14 in relation to the distance covered by the caps on the support rings 5 and which corresponds to only about half a revolution.
  • the caps 6 are actively driven on the support rings 5, but must passively slip on the transfer chutes 13, 14, which opposes their transport resistance.
  • FIG. 6 shows in the same representation how FIG. 2 , a construction in which the towers 1 and 2 run in the opposite direction of rotation at the same peripheral speed.
  • the reciprocating transfer chutes 13 and 14 in turn run straight and strictly tangent to each connected Support rings 5 of the two towers 1 and 2. In contrast to the embodiment of FIG. 2 However, they run intersecting between the towers 1 and 2, so that the towers are circulated 8-shaped. For flat caps and sufficient floor space resulting at the intersections between the transfer chutes 13 and 14 no height problems.
  • FIG. 6 it can also be seen that also in the embodiment of the FIG. 6 in turn improves the ratio of transport path on the support rings 5 to the transport path on the transfer chutes 13, 14.
  • the sterilizer always had two towers 1, 2. There are also more towers in such a construction possible, as based on the FIGS. 7 and 8 is described, in which the construction consists of three towers each.
  • FIG. 7 shows three towers 1, 2 and 3, which are indicated only schematically.
  • the towers run in the same direction of rotation and are corresponding to, as in the embodiment of FIG. 2 , connected to the outside tangential straight transfer chutes 13 and 14, wherein the two transfer chutes 13 connects the same floor on the three towers and the transfer chute 14 to the next lower level of the tower 1 leads back.
