Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for applying spray pumps, dispensers or the like to containers and for closing them according to the preamble of claim 1, and to a method for introducing spray pumps and the like into containers and for closing them according to the preamble of claim 11.
- a filled container is filled and closed in one operation with a spray pump, a dispenser or the like.
- the device required for this is very complex. This, like the implementation of the method, is therefore prone to failure.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device and a method of the type mentioned above, which are distinguished in that the disadvantages mentioned are avoided.
- a device which has the features mentioned in claim 1. It comprises a gripper element for gripping the spray pump and the like and a closure element for screwing a closure onto the container. It is characterized in that the closing element is designed as a separate component. Further refinements result from the subclaims.
- a method which comprises the features of claim 11. It is characterized in that the introduction of the spray pump and the like into a container and the closing thereof are carried out in separate process steps.
- FIG. 1 shows a device for introducing spray pumps or the like into containers and for closing them in a first functional position
- Figure 2 shows the device of Figure 1 in a second functional position
- Figure 3 shows the device of Figure 1 in a third functional position.
- the device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used to apply spray pumps, dispensers or the like to filled containers and to close the container.
- the device 1 has a gripper device 3 which serves to tap a spray pump 5 from a delivery device, for example from a pick star 9.
- the delivery device 7 can also bring in dispensers or the like instead of spray pumps.
- the gripper device 3 is held at a predetermined height by a suitable holder 11.
- a suitable tax device for example by means of a lifting curve 13
- a gripper 15 can be moved up and down in the direction of a central axis 17 of the gripper device 3 relative to the holder 11.
- the gripper 15 was lowered in accordance with the arrow 19 in order to capture the spray pump 5 in the delivery device 7.
- a suitable control cam 21 for opening and closing the gripper 15 is indicated in FIG. 1.
- a targeted upward and downward movement of the gripper 15 is possible by means of the stroke curve 13 and the control curve 21, the gripper 15 being opened or closed depending on its position in order to detect or release a spray pump 5.
- the up and down movement of the gripper 15 can also be realized in other ways. Likewise, the opening and closing of the gripper 15 can be carried out by a suitable motor or the like.
- a spray pump 5 was supplied by a delivery device 7 into the gripping area of the gripper 15, and that the gripper 15 detects it in a suitable manner.
- the device 1 also has a closing element 23 which is attached to a suitable holder 11 'and is thus held at a certain height. It has a drive unit 25, designed for example as a servo drive, which drives a closing roller 27.
- the closure element 23 is essentially perpendicular to the center by means of a suitable displacement device 29. telachse 31 of the drive unit 25 displaceable. This will be discussed in more detail below.
- the displacement device 29 is preferably designed mechanically. However, it is also conceivable to provide a pneumatic, hydraulic or electromagnetic device here.
- the sealing roller 27 interacts with a support device 33 which has at least one, preferably two supporting rollers 35 which are rotatable about an axis of rotation 7 and are arranged at a distance from the sealing roller 27.
- the pipe guide 39 can preferably be actuated mechanically.
- other actuating devices of pneumatic, hydraulic or electromagnetic type are also conceivable.
- a pipe guide 39 is provided on the holder 11, which can be displaced with respect to the central axis 17 and serves to guide the suction pipe of the spray pump 5 when it is introduced into a container. This will be discussed in more detail below.
- the device 1 here also comprises a transport device 41 for the filled containers into which the spray pump 5 is inserted.
- the device 1 can also be designed independently of the transport device 41 and can be implemented as a separate assembly.
- FIG. 2 shows the device 1, as was explained in FIG. 1, in a second functional position.
- the delivery device 7 is no longer arranged in the effective range of the gripper device 3. Rather, a container 43 was brought up by the transport device 41 and arranged so that its central axis 45 is aligned with the central axis 17 of the gripper device 3 and thus of the spray pump 5.
- the suction pipe 47 also referred to as a riser pipe, is arranged concentrically with the central axis 17 of the gripper device 3 and with the central axis 45 of the container 43 and can therefore be inserted into the mouth opening 49 of the container 43.
- FIG. 2 shows with an arrow 51 that the pipe guide 39 has been displaced essentially transversely to the suction pipe 47 in order to guide it securely when it is introduced into the mouth opening 49 of the container 43.
- the spray pump 5 is held securely by the gripper 15, so that it can be moved by the gripper device 3 during the further process.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show the device 1 in a third functional position. Parts that have been explained in FIGS. 1 and 2 are provided with the same reference numerals for the sake of simplicity. Reference is accordingly made to the description of the previous figures.
- FIG. 3 shows that the gripper 15 of the gripper device 3 has been lowered in the direction of the central axis 17 with the aid of the stroke curve 13 serving as height control, in order to reduce the
- the gripper 15 is moved together with the spray pump 5 in the direction of the central axis 17 of the gripper device 3 and thus in the direction of the central axis 45 of the container 43 downward.
- the pipe guide 39 Through the pipe guide 39, the suction pipe 47 of the spray pump 5 is guided over a large part of the displacement path.
- the pipe guide 39 is moved back so that it is not damaged by the head or the gripper 13.
- the closing element 23 and the support device 33 are displaced towards one another in accordance with the arrows 53 and 55 perpendicular to the central axis 31 of the drive unit 25 or perpendicular to the central axis 17 of the gripper device 3.
- the sealing roller 27 is thus displaced in the direction of a closure 57 of the spray pump 5, and the supporting rollers 35 of the support device 33 are accordingly displaced in the direction of the closure 57.
- the closure 57 is clamped between the closing roller 27 and the at least one supporting roller 35 and, when the closing roller 27 rotates, can be rotated about the central axis 45 of the container 43 and screwed onto it.
- the spray pump 5 is thus securely fixed to the container 43 and closed.
- the support device 43 may also be dispensed with.
- the advantage of the exemplary embodiment shown here is that that even light, more or less unstable containers 43 can be closed in a simple manner without being pushed out of their position by the sealing roller 27 of the sealing element 23.
- the closing roller 27 and the at least one support roller 35 are displaced outward relative to the central axis 17 of the gripper device 3 and the central axis 45 of the container 43, so that the closure 43 is released.
- the gripper device 3 can now be displaced upwards in the direction of the central axis 17 by means of the lifting curve 13 and is therefore ready to remove a new spray pump 5 from a supply device 7 and to place it on a container 43.
- the device 1 has a gripper device 3 and a closing element 23 formed separately therefrom, so that its construction is relatively simple.
- the device 1 is designed such that the closing element 23 can be controlled separately from the gripper device 3.
- the pipe guide 39 is here preferably assigned to the closing element 23. This results in a compact structure of the device 1. However, it is also conceivable fix the pipe guide 39 via a separate bracket and arrange it at a suitable location.
- the device 1 described here can be part of a closing system in which the spray pumps 5 and the containers 43 are moved on circular paths, as well as the gripper device 5 and the closing element 23. However, it is also conceivable to move the individual assemblies of the device 1 linearly.
- the device 1 can be formed separately or as part of a closing system and that the individual assemblies can be very easily adapted to different performance ranges. It is thus possible to implement devices 1 which also close a large number of containers 43 per unit of time. Constant closing torques can be ensured by means of the closing element 23 over all power ranges. This also serves to align the closures 57, which are part of the spray pump 5, with respect to the container 43. Even with high throughput, the device 1 ensures that the spray pumps 5 are securely inserted into the containers 43 because their suction pipes 43 are precisely positioned and guided by the pipe guide 39.
- Suitable sensors can ensure that the spray pump 5 is only lowered when a container 43 is present and that the closing element 23 can only be activated when a spray pump 5 is also placed on a container 43.
- the device 1 is particularly low-wear because a closure 47 between the sealing roller 27 and the minimum tens a support roller 53 is firmly clamped, so that a spinning of the sealing roller 27 is practically impossible.
- the device 1 has a simple structure and is therefore service-friendly and reliable.
- closure 57 is designed as a screw closure.
- closing element 23 it is also very possible to design the closing element 23 in such a way that press-on closures can be applied to a container 43, a spray pump 5, a dispenser or the like can be fixed to the container 23 and the latter can be closed.
- the device 1 and the method can be used very flexibly.
- Spray pumps 5 of various types can be used in containers 43 of various shapes. It is also possible to dispense or the like in containers of the type mentioned here to insert and securely anchor this to the container by means of a closure 57 and to close it.
- the gripper device 3 and the closing unit referred to as the closing element 23, are spatially assigned to one another in such a way that they interact with a container 43 at one and the same processing position. applied a dispenser or the like.
- the container is then closed by means of the closing element 23 by screwing the spray pump, the dispenser or the like onto the container 43.
- this configuration of the device ensures that the application of spray pumps, dispensers or the like to a container and the sealing thereof can be carried out easily. This is because no further displacement of the container and alignment of the container with respect to the closing element is required after a spray pump or the like has been applied.
- the latter can be provided with a pipe guide 39, which ensures that the spray pump, the dispenser or the like is securely inserted into the mouth of the container 43. Since the closing element 23 is arranged in close proximity to the gripper device 3, an additional holder for the pipe guide 39 is not absolutely necessary.
- the device of the type mentioned here can be made very compact, on the other hand, because of the separate design of gripper device 3 and closing element 23, it is easily possible to provide different gripper devices or closing elements and thus to adapt the device to different spray pumps, dispensers or the like and also to design the locking element differently in order to implement different types of locking, be it screw locking, bayonet locking or pressure lock. As already mentioned, the device can therefore be flexibly adapted to different types of processing. A separate exchange is also possible in the event of a defect.
- the method mentioned here can be implemented simply and inexpensively. It is favorable that the gripper device 3 and the closing element 23 can cooperate with a container 43 at one and the same processing position and these do not have to be shifted between the introduction of a spray pump, a dispenser or the like and the closing element. Often an additional alignment of the container 43 with respect to the closing element 23 would also be required.
- the spatial assignment of the gripper device and the closure element thus leads, after all, to the easy loading and closing of containers, and on the other hand to a very compact design of the device mentioned here. It can be seen from the figures that a holder 11 for the gripper device 3 and a holder 11 'for the closing element 23 are provided. It is very possible to hold a joint tion for the two elements, gripper device 3 and closing element 43, to provide the device. In addition to the compact construction area, this also leads to a low-interference implementation possibility of the device.
