Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Speichern von Flaschen.The present invention relates to a device for storing bottles.

Aus der DE 103 05 072 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Aussortieren von Fehlflaschen aus einem auf einer Kastenbahn geförderten Flaschenkasten bekannt. Das heißt, die dort beschriebene Vorrichtung bzw. das Verfahren dient der Sortierung von Flaschenleergut. In diesem Zusammenhang ist bekannt, dass es eine Vielzahl von Flaschen, und hier insbesondere auch von unterschiedlichen Bierflaschen gibt. So sind beispielsweise grüne und braune Flaschen, jeweils unterschiedlichster Form bekannt. Am bekanntesten sind allerdings die braunen 0,5 l Flaschen mit kurzem Hals. Bevor die LeerFlaschen zum Waschen und nachfolgendem Wiederbefüllen gegeben werden ist dafür Sorge zu tragen, dass die Flaschenkästen mit sortenreinen Flaschen, also ohne Fehlflaschen, oder anders ausgedrückt, ohne Nicht-Produktionsflaschen dem Leergutauspacker zugeführt werden. Nicht-Produktionsflaschen sind in diesem Zusammenhang solche, die nicht produziert, also nicht befüllt werden. Dies können Flaschen aus dem eigenen Betrieb, aber auch solche aus anderen Betrieben sein. Zur Sortierung ist nun vorgesehen, dass die Fehlflaschen der mindestens einen Fehlflaschensorte nach Erkennung durch eine Erkennungseinrichtung durch eine Entnahmeeinrichtung dem Kasten auf der Kastenbahn entnommen werden, wobei die entnommenen Fehlflaschen in mindestens einen weiteren, zweiten Kasten eingestellt werden, der sich neben der Kastenbahn befindet. Hierbei dient dieser zweite Kasten als Zwischenspeicher, wobei nach einer bestimmen Anzahl von in dem Zwischenspeicher gesammelten Fehlflaschen solche Fehlflaschen dem Zwischenspeicherkasten entnommen werden, und in einen Kasten auf der Kastenbahn durch die Entnahmeeinrichtung eingestellt werden, wobei dieser mit Fehlflaschen besetzte Kasten von der Kastenbahn ausgeschleust wird. Auf dieser Ablage neben der Kastenbahn befindet sich nicht nur ein solcher erster Zwischenspeicherkasten zur Aufnahme von Fehlflaschen, sondern darüber hinaus neben weiteren Zwischenspeicherkästen für andere Sorten von Fehlflaschen auch ein solcher Zwischenspeicherkasten zur Aufnahme von Gutflaschen. Diese Gutflaschen dienen nämlich dazu, den auf der Kastenbahn befindlichen Flaschenkasten, dem Fehlflaschen entnommen worden sind, mit Gutflaschen aufzufüllen, so dass auf der Kastenbahn schlussendlich nur solche Kästen zu finden sind, die vollständig gefüllt sind.From the DE 103 05 072 a device for sorting out incorrect bottles from a promoted on a box railway bottle crate is known. That is, the device described there or the method is used for the sorting of Flaschenleergut. In this context, it is known that there are a variety of bottles, and in particular of different beer bottles. For example, green and brown bottles, respectively different form known. Best known, however, are the brown 0.5 l bottles with a short neck. Before emptying the empty bottles for washing and subsequent refilling, care must be taken to ensure that the bottle crates are supplied to the empties unpacker using bottles of the same type, that is to say without waste bottles, or in other words, without non-production bottles. Non-production bottles in this context are those that are not produced, ie not filled. These can be bottles from your own company, but also from other companies. For sorting, it is now provided that the faulty bottles of the at least one defective bottle type are removed after detection by a detection device by a removal device the box on the box web, the removed waste bottles are set in at least one other, second box, which is located next to the box track. In this case, this second box serves as a buffer store, wherein after a certain number of faulty bottles collected in the buffer, such defective bottles are taken from the buffer box and set in a box on the box track by the picking means, this box occupied with defective bottles being discharged from the box track , Not only is such a first temporary storage box for receiving defective bottles located on this shelf next to the box conveyor, but also, in addition to further intermediate storage boxes for other types of defective bottles, also such a temporary storage box for receiving product bottles. This good bottles serve namely to fill the bottle crate located on the crate, the wrong bottles have been removed, to fill up with bottles of good, so that ultimately only those boxes are found on the crate track, which are completely filled.

Aus der US 6,688,839 B1 ist ein Kasten zur Aufnahme von Flaschen bekannt, der einen umlaufenden Rand aufweist, wobei auf dem Boden des Kastens einzelne Führungsstäbe angeordnet sind, zwischen denen die Flaschen aufgenommen werden.From the US 6,688,839 B1 a box for receiving bottles is known which has a peripheral edge, wherein on the bottom of the box individual guide rods are arranged, between which the bottles are received.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist nunmehr - wie zu eingangs beschrieben - eine Einrichtung zum Speichern von Fehlflaschen. Wie ebenfalls zuvor beschrieben, sind bislang handelsübliche Flaschenkästen als Zwischenspeicher bei Einrichtungen zum Speichern von Flaschen während der Sortierung verwendet worden. Die Einrichtung zum Sortieren der Flaschen aus dem einen Kasten in den Zwischenspeicherkasten bzw. aus dem Zwischenspeicherkasten in einen weiteren Kasten besteht im Einzelnen aus mehreren Greifern, die jeweils einzeln ansteuerbar sind. Das heiß, eine solche Entnahmeeinrichtung, bestehend aus mehreren Greifern ist durchaus in der Lage, punktuell einzelne Flaschen herauszugreifen. Das Muster der aufzugreifenden Flaschen bestimmt sich vom Grundsatz her bei der Befüllung von Flaschenkästen mit Gutflaschen durch das Muster der Fehl- oder Leerstellen in dem zu befüllenden Kasten. Nun kann es aber sein, dass das Muster von Gutflaschen in dem Zwischenspeicherkasten nicht dem Muster der Leer- oder Fehlstellen des Flaschenkastens auf der Kastenbahn mit den Gutflaschen entspricht. Die Folge hiervon ist, dass die Entnahmeeinrichtung gegebenenfalls mehrere Hübe und Verfahrbewegungen ausführen muss, um die Flaschen von dem Zwischenspeicherkasten in den auf der Kastenbahn befindlichen Kasten mit den Gutflaschen umzusetzen, um schlussendlich diesen Flaschenkasten mit Flaschen der Gutsorte vollständig aufzufüllen. Diese Problematik wird schlussendlich auch nicht dadurch behoben, dass mehrere Kästen nebeneinander als Speicherkästen angeordnet sind, weil der Abstand zwischen den Flaschen zweier benachbarter Kästen unterschiedlich ist zu dem Abstand zwischen den Flaschen innerhalb eines Kastens. Da die Entnahmeeinrichtung mit den mehreren Greifern immer den gleichen Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Greifern aufweist, ist somit eine kastenübergreifende Entnahme von Flaschen aus mehreren Zwischenspeicherkästen nicht möglich.The invention is now - as described above - a device for storing miss bottles. As also previously described, commercial crates have heretofore been used as latches in bottle storage facilities during sorting. The device for sorting the bottles from the one box into the temporary storage box or from the temporary storage box in a further box consists in detail of several grippers, which are each individually controllable. That is, such a removal device, consisting of several grippers is quite capable of selectively pick out individual bottles. The pattern of the bottles to be picked up is basically determined by the filling of crates with bottles by the pattern of voids or voids in the box to be filled. However, it may well be that the pattern of good bottles in the intermediate storage box does not correspond to the pattern of empty or defective areas of the bottle crate on the box web with the goods bottles. The consequence of this is that the removal device may have to perform several strokes and traverses movements to implement the bottles from the buffer box in the located on the box track box with the bottles, to finally fill this bottle crate with bottles of Gutsorte completely. This problem is ultimately not resolved by several boxes are arranged side by side as storage boxes, because the distance between the bottles of two adjacent boxes is different from the distance between the bottles within a box. Since the removal device with the plurality of grippers always has the same distance between the individual grippers, thus a cross-box removal of bottles from several temporary storage boxes is not possible.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Einrichtung zum Speichern von Flaschen bereitzustellen, bei der durch die Entnahmeeinrichtung mit den mehreren Greifern Flaschen in beliebigen Mustern entnommen werden können, um diese Flaschen dann mit dem entnommenen Muster dem Flaschenkasten auf der Kastenbahn mit den Gutflaschen zuführen zu können. Das Ziel der Erfindung besteht somit darin, die Anzahl der Hübe und Verfahrbewegungen der Entnahmeeinrichtung zum Befüllen von Flaschenkästen auf der Kastenbahn mit Gutflaschen zu minimieren.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a device for storing bottles, in which bottles can be removed in any pattern by the removal device with the plurality of grippers to these bottles then with the pattern removed the bottle crate on the box track with the goods bottles to be able to supply. The object of the invention is thus to minimize the number of strokes and movements of the removal device for filling crates on the crate with goods bottles.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Einrichtung zum Speichern von Flaschen einen Boden mit darauf angeordneten senkrechten Führungsstangen umfasst, wobei die diagonale Abstand x zwischen zwei Führungsstangen in etwa dem Flaschendurchmesser entspricht, wobei die zur Randkante des Bodens benachbarten Führungsstangen einen diagonalen Abstand zur Randkante in Richtung auf die entsprechenden Führungsstangen der benachbarten Speichereinrichtung aufweisen, der in etwa dem halben Flaschendurchmesser entspricht, so dass bei zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Speichereinrichtungen sich wiederum ein Abstand in der Größenordnung von etwa dem Flaschendurchmesser gemessen zwischen den Führungsstangen der beiden Speichereinrichtungen ergibt, die zu der Randkante des Bodens unmittelbar benachbart sind. Hieraus wird unmittelbar deutlich, dass bei mehreren solcher erfindungsgemäßen Speichereinrichtungen, die in diesen Speichereinrichtungen einsitzenden Flaschen einen immer gleichen Abstand zueinander aufweisen. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die Entnahmeeinrichtung beliebige Muster an Flaschen der Speichereinrichtung übergreifend entnehmen kann. Sie ist somit durch keinerlei Kastenwände behindert, da auch im Übergangsbereich von einer Speichereinrichtung zur nächsten das durch die Führungsstangen gebildete Aufnahmemuster für Flaschen ununterbrochen fortgesetzt wird..The object is achieved in that the means for storing bottles comprises a bottom with thereon arranged vertical guide rods, wherein the diagonal distance x between two guide rods approximately corresponds to the bottle diameter, wherein the edge adjacent to the edge of the bottom guide rods a diagonal distance to the edge have in the direction of the corresponding guide rods of the adjacent storage device, which corresponds approximately to half the bottle diameter, so that in two juxtaposed storage devices again a distance in the order of about the bottle diameter measured between the guide rods of the two storage devices results that the edge of the soil are immediately adjacent. From this it is immediately clear that, in the case of several such storage devices according to the invention, the bottles which are located in these storage devices always have the same distance from one another. This has the consequence that the removal device can take over any pattern of bottles of the storage device across. It is thus hampered by any box walls, as well as in the transition region from one storage device to the next, the recording pattern formed by the guide rods for bottles is continued uninterrupted.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous features of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

So ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass die Führungsstangen an ihrem oberen freien Ende konisch zulaufend ausgebildet sind, um das Einführen der Flaschen durch die einzelnen Greifer der Entnahmeeinrichtung zu erleichtern. Darüber hinaus korrespondiert vorteilhaft die Länge der Führungsstange mit der Flaschenlänge. Das heißt, dass die Länge der Führungsstange also in etwa der Flaschenlänge, mindestens aber der Länge des Bauches der Flache entspricht. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Flaschen beim Einführen in die für sie vorgesehenen Öffnungen der Speichereinrichtung nicht aneinander schlagen können.Thus, it is provided in particular that the guide rods are formed tapered at its upper free end to facilitate the insertion of the bottles by the individual grippers of the removal device. In addition, advantageously corresponds to the length of the guide rod with the bottle length. This means that the length of the guide rod thus corresponds approximately to the length of the bottle, but at least the length of the belly of the flat. This ensures that the bottles can not hit each other during insertion into the openings provided for them the storage device.

Vorteilhaft weist der Boden im Bereich zwischen vier Führungsstangen zum Einsetzen einer Stange eine Öffnung auf, die ermöglicht, dass die Scherben einer zu Bruch gegangenen Flasche unmittelbar durch diese Öffnung entsorgt werden können.Advantageously, the floor in the area between four guide rods for inserting a rod on an opening, which allows the shards of a broken bottle can be disposed of immediately through this opening.

Um zu gewährleisten, dass die Speichereinrichtungen sich nicht verschieben, besitzt der Boden endseitig Mittel zu deren Fixierung, beispielsweise auf einem Tisch.To ensure that the storage devices do not move, the bottom end has means for fixing them, for example on a table.

Anhand der Zeichnungen wird die Erfindung nachstehend beispielhaft näher erläutert.

Figur 1
zeigt einen Tisch mit der erfindungsgemäßen Speichereinrichtung in einer Seitenansicht;
Figur 2
zeigt eine Ansicht von oben auf die Speichereinrichtung.
With reference to the drawings, the invention will be explained in more detail below by way of example.
FIG. 1
shows a table with the storage device according to the invention in a side view;
FIG. 2
shows a top view of the storage device.

Der mit 1 bezeichnete Tisch nimmt die Bodenplatte 10 der Speichereinrichtung 10 auf; die Fixierung der Bodenplatte 11 auf dem Tisch 1 erfolgt durch seitlich angeordnete Spannplatten 2, die mittels Schraubbolzen 3 gehalten sind.The designated 1 table receives the bottom plate 10 of the memory device 10; the fixing of the bottom plate 11 on the table 1 is effected by laterally arranged clamping plates 2, which are held by means of bolts 3.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist nun die Ausbildung der Speichereinrichtung 10. Der Boden 11 der Speichereinrichtung 10 weist die Führungsstangen 12 auf, die mittels Schrauben 13 an dem Boden 11 befestigt sind. Die Führungsstangen 12 sind in einem bestimmten Raster auf der Bodenplatte 11 angeordnet. Das Raster ist hierbei derart gewählt, dass der diagonale Abstand x zwischen zwei Führungsstangen (Figur 2) etwa dem Durchmesser einer Flasche an deren dickster Stelle entspricht. Durch insgesamt vier solcher Führungsstangen 12 wird eine jede Flasche durch die Speichereinrichtung fixiert.The invention is now the formation of the memory device 10. The bottom 11 of the memory device 10 has the guide rods 12 which are secured by screws 13 to the bottom 11. The guide rods 12 are arranged in a certain grid on the bottom plate 11. The grid is in this case selected such that the diagonal distance x between two guide rods ( FIG. 2 ) corresponds approximately to the diameter of a bottle at its thickest point. Through a total of four such guide rods 12, each bottle is fixed by the storage device.

Wesentlich ist nun, dass die der Randkante 15 des Bodens 11 unmittelbar benachbarten Führungsstangen 12a einen diagonalen Abstand y zur Randkante aufweisen, der in etwa dem halben Flaschendurchmesser entspricht, so dass der gesamte diagonale Abstand zwischen zwei Führungsstangen 12a, die unmittelbar benachbart zur Randkante 15 des jeweiligen Bodens 11 zweier benachbarter Speichereinrichtungen 10 angeordnet sind, wiederum dem Flaschendurchmesser entspricht.It is essential that the marginal edge 15 of the bottom 11 immediately adjacent guide rods 12a a diagonal distance y to Have marginal edge, which corresponds approximately to half the bottle diameter, so that the total diagonal distance between two guide rods 12a, which are arranged immediately adjacent to the peripheral edge 15 of the respective bottom 11 of two adjacent storage devices 10, in turn corresponds to the bottle diameter.

Die einzelnen Führungsstangen 12, 12a sind endseitig jeweils konisch ausgebildet.The individual guide rods 12, 12a are each end conical.

Die Bodenplatte 11 besitzt darüber hinaus in dem Raum zwischen den Führungsstangen, der der Aufnahme der Flaschen dient, eine Öffnung 16, um gegebenenfalls das Glas zerschlagener Flaschen hierdurch entsorgen zu können.The bottom plate 11 also has in the space between the guide rods, which serves to accommodate the bottles, an opening 16 to possibly dispose of the glass smashed bottles hereby.
