Definitions

  • the invention relates to a capping machine (capper) according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Closing machines for closing bottles with screw caps, which are fastened by screwing on a bottle-side external thread in the area of the bottle mouth are known in various designs. Basically, the application of the respective closure with a closure element or Verschierkonus in which the bottle closure is held until applied to a bottle and which is for driving the closure on the bottle or for screwing by a drive is driven in rotation.
  • Known capping machines have on a rotating around a vertical axis of the machine rotatably driven rotor on several Verschdirpositionen each with a Verschpidkonus and with a bottle or container carrier, which is controlled by a lifting cam and rotatable when the rotor rotates, namely for bringing the respective bottle to the Closing cone before screwing and for removing the sealed bottle from the sealing cone.
  • the tracking of the bottles when screwing is also achieved by lifting the bottle carrier in known capping machines.
  • the problem with these capping machines is the securing of the bottles against rotation, and in particular also for reusable bottles and especially for reusable plastic or PET bottles.
  • the protection against twisting during the screwing operation can be achieved by so-called spikes, in the case of returnable bottles and in particular also for reusable PET bottles, this is not enough because of a damage increasing with the number of revolutions and not accepted by the consumers the bottles off.
  • the object of the invention is to show a capping machine, which ensures a gentle treatment of the bottles during the closing or screwing and for this reason is preferred, but not exclusively suitable for reusable PET bottles.
  • a capping machine according to claim 1 is formed.
  • the capping machine is used to close bottles 2, which in the illustrated embodiment are reusable PET bottles, each with a closure 3, by screwing the closure 3 onto a bottle side, in the region the bottle mouth provided external thread.
  • the closing machine 1 consists in a known manner of a rotor 4 driven circumferentially about a vertical machine axis MA, on whose circumference a plurality of closing positions 5 are formed, which are u. a. each have a bottle carrier 6 and in the vertical direction above a closing tool or a closing cone 7.
  • the closing cone 7 is fastened to the lower end of a shaft 8 oriented with its axis parallel to the machine axis MA.
  • schematically indicated by 9 is a drive which is provided for each closing position 5 and with which the respective shaft 8 and thus also the closing cone 7 for screwing the closure 3 onto a bottle 2 can be driven in rotation.
  • the bottle carrier 6 are fork-shaped in the illustrated embodiment with a fork open to the periphery of the rotor 4, so that the bottle 2 located at a Versch conferenceposition 5 there from the fork-like bottle carrier 6 at a below the bottle mouth on the outside of the bottle projecting annular flange or edge 2.1 is engaged behind or held with this annular flange or edge 2.1 hanging on the fork-shaped bottle carrier 6.
  • Each closing position 5 is associated with a lifting rod 10, which is oriented with its axis parallel to the machine axis MA and which is provided relative to this machine axis relative to the respective bottle carrier 6 offset radially inwards.
  • a lifting rod 10 which is guided for axial movement or an axial stroke (double arrow A of Figure 2) on the rotor, in each case a carrier 11 is fixed, which is also performed on a rotor 4 fixed to the guide rod 12 for the rotation.
  • a support member or fitting 13 are fixed, which forms a support surface on a to the periphery of the rotor 4 open pocket-like recess for the fuselage of the respective bottle 2, with a friction lining 14 with high coefficient of friction, for example is provided with a friction lining 14 made of rubber, and the (support surface) enclosing the respective bottle 2 over a larger part of its circumference, for example over half the circumference or almost half the circumference.
  • Each lifting rod 10 is provided at the lower end with a cam roller 15 which engages in a lifting cam 16, which is provided on a not rotating with the rotor 4 Part 1.1 of the closing machine 1, so that when revolving rotor, the respective lifting rod 11 and thus with this connected bottle carrier 6 and that shaped piece 13 controlled up and down.
  • the general operation of the closing machine 1 can be described to the effect that with the rotor 4 revolving around the machine axis MA at a bottle inlet, the bottles 2 to be closed are each fed individually to a closing position 5 and at a bottle outlet the bottles 2 each provided with a closure 3 via a conveyor for further processing, for example, be submitted for labeling. Between the bottle outlet and the bottle inlet there is a station at which each closing cone 7 receives a closure 3 when moving past.
  • the belt 18 is guided to form the loop 17 over a plurality of pulleys or rollers 19 - 23, of which the rollers 22 and 23 form a tensioning device for this belt 18 and the roller 22 by acting as an air spring Pneumatic cylinder 24 is biased for movement radially to its roller axis.
  • the cooperating with the bottles 2 loop length 17.1 is formed between the two rollers 19 and 20. Since the belt on this loop length is not applied, as shown in the figures for ease of illustration, only against a single bottle 2, but at the same time against several bottles 2 at several Verschdorfpositionen 5, the loop length 17.1 has an approximately circular arc-shaped course.
  • rollers 19-23 are mounted on a common carrier 25 shown in the figures as a plate or table, namely about mutually parallel axes which are oriented perpendicular to the plane of the carrier 25.
  • the carrier 25 is fastened to the machine frame of the closing machine 1, so that the belt assembly 26 formed by the belt 18, the rollers 19 - 23 and the carrier 25 does not rotate with the rotor 4, but the bottles 2 at its peripheral region outside the machine axis MA abut against the loop length 17.1.
  • the belt 18 is driven by a drive, not shown, such that the belt 18 on the loop length 17.1 formed between the two rollers 19 and 20 in the same direction and at the same peripheral speed as the rotor 4, or How the contact points with the bottles 2 moves (arrow B), so that the respective bottles 2 are secured or clamped between the length 17.1 and the friction lining 14 against rotation about its vertical axis of the bottle and in particular by the belt 18 in the bottles no forces are introduced that could cause these bottles to spin.
  • the loop length 17.1 extending between the rollers 19 and 20 has an angle in the direction of movement B. rising course, which corresponds to the increase in the lifting curve 16 during the tracking of the bottles 2 and includes a direction perpendicular to the machine axis MA oriented horizontal plane in the figure 4 schematically indicated angle ⁇ .
  • This tendency of the belt 18 on the loop length 17.1 is achieved in that the carrier 25th or the entire belt assembly 26 are inclined accordingly.
  • the belt 18 it is possible to manufacture the belt 18 from a material which has a lower coefficient of friction compared with the friction lining 14, so that the bottles 2 are secured against rotation during the screwing operation by the friction lining 14 of the shaped parts 13, while the belt 18 is substantially only for pressing the bottles 2 against this friction lining 14 is used. In principle, however, it is also possible to manufacture the belt 18 from a material with a higher coefficient of friction, at least on its side of the belt forming the outside of the closed loop 17.
