Definitions
- the invention relates to a closing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Closing machines for closing containers are known in various designs, in particular as machines of rotating design, in which a plurality of closing positions are formed on the circumference of a rotor driven around a vertical machine axis rotor, in each case with a closing tool, with the below Using a drive of the respective, for example, previously attached to an opening of the container to be closed patch closure is fixed to this container.
- Closing machines for closing containers with screw caps which are then screwed onto a container mouth by means of the closing tool rotationally driven by the drive (for example spindle drive) of the respective closing position and designed as a closure cone, are then also screwed onto a thread formed on the container mouth.
- the respective closing tool and the container are moved relative to each other, for example by a drive, e.g. also in the form of a stroke control.
- the closing tools are each adapted to the type and / or size of the closures, so when changing the capping of a VerNMart- and / or -large on another type of closure and / or size (format change) also a Changing the sealing tools is required at all Verschricpositionen a capping machine, which previously meant a time-consuming and labor-intensive tool change.
- the object of the invention is to remedy this disadvantage.
- a capping machine according to claim 1 is formed.
- each closing position is assigned at least two closing tools which can be moved with a tool carrier between a working position at which the closing tool in question causes the containers to close and a provision position. This makes it possible to assign each closing position at least two closing tools that are suitable for two different types of closure and / or -large, so that a faster and easy format change is possible.
- the closing tools of all Verschbpspositionen or at least one group of Verschdorfposition are located on a common tool carrier, so then by moving this tool carrier or the common for several Verschdorfpositionen tool holder format change is possible.
- the closing tools are provided on an annular support, which concentrically surrounds the vertical machine axis and is rotated or swiveled around the tool axis for the tool change such that all located before the format change in the working position closing tools of a first type after the format change a closing tool of a second type, which was in a ready position prior to the format change, has been replaced.
- the closing tools are designed, for example, as capping zones for the processing of screw caps and are held rotatably about a tool axis on the tool carrier for this purpose.
- this is drivingly connected to the drive of a screwing and closing unit of the respective closing position, with which (screwing and closing unit) the closing tool is then driven in rotation when closing.
- means are preferably provided which lock the closing tools in the ready position in at least one predetermined rotational position, so that each closing tool moved from a ready position to the working position has one there for coupling the Screwing and closing unit required rotational position.
- Figure 1 is a sealed with a screw cap bottle.
- Fig. 2 in a simplified representation and in plan view of a sealing machine of rotating design;
- FIG. 3 shows one of the screwing or closing units of the closing machine of FIG. 2;
- Fig. 4 in a partial view a side view of a vertical
- FIG. 5 shows a plan view of an annular tool carrier having the closure zones
- 1 is a container in the form of a bottle, which is closed by a screwed-on, cut in the figure 1 shown closure 2 in the form of a cap.
- closure 2 in the form of a cap.
- the closing of the bottles 2 takes place in the manner known to those skilled in a sealing machine 3, of which in FIG. 2 only schematically a rotor 4 driven around a vertical machine axis is shown, on whose circumference a plurality of closing positions 5 are formed.
- the bottles 1 to be closed are each supplied to a capping position 5 at a bottle inlet 3.1 of the capper.
- the sealed bottles 1 are removed at a bottle outlet 3.2 of the respective closing position 5 and fed to a further use.
- each closing position 5 has a closing unit 6 which, inter alia, consists of a drive 7 and of a spindle 8 which is free from this drive and is oriented with its axis parallel to the vertical machine axis MA.
- Each spindle 8 forms at its lower free end a coupling section 8.1, which is designed in the illustrated embodiment as a web or feather key.
- the lower end of each spindle 8 is guided in a fixed to the rotor 4 centering and locking ring 9, which is arranged with its axis achs ⁇ leich with the machine axis MA.
- an annular tool carrier 10 is arranged, which also concentrically encloses the vertical machine axis MA or is arranged coaxially with this machine axis.
- the tool carrier 10 more Verschplierkonen 11 and 12 are freely rotatably mounted, in each case about a vertical axis parallel to the machine axis MA.
- the capping zones 11 and 12 are adapted to different sizes of the shutters 2 such that the capping zones 11 for smaller diameter closures 2 and the capping zones 12 for caplets of larger diameter are made to fit.
- the closing heads 11 and 12 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the tool carrier 10 such that all closing heads 11 and 12 each have the same radial distance from the central axis of the tool carrier 10 and thus also from the machine axis MA Distance equal to the distance, the axis spindles 8 have from the machine axis MA.
- the closure zones 11 and 12 are provided alternately in the circumferential direction of the tool carrier 10 in such a manner that a respective capper cone 11 and capper cone 12 form a capping cone pair and a capping cone group, respectively Machine axis MA occupies an angular range which is smaller than the axial distance of two consecutive in the circumferential direction of the rotor 4 closing units 6.
- the number of Verschweerkonus phenomenon equal to the number of Verschnovillonen 6, so that each closing unit in the illustrated embodiment, a closing cone 11 and a closing cone 12th assigned.
- a capper cone 11 or a capper cone 12 can thus be positioned at the lower end of the associated spindle 8 coaxially therewith, ie in a working position, and in particular also so that the coupling section 8.1 each spindle 8 engages in a coupling portion 11.1 and 12.1 of the respective closing cones 11 and 12 located in the working position.
- the coupling sections 11.1 and 12.1 on the upper side of the closing heads 11 and 12 are each designed as a matching slot.
- the drives 7 of the closing units 6, which are formed by electric adjusting rotors, are activated or designed in such a way that the spindles 8 have a starting or closing mechanism after each closing or screwing procedure or else for the initiation of a format change Assume alternating position in which each coupling section 8.1 is oriented with its larger, oriented in vertical planes surface sides 8.1.1 tangential to the circumference or to the direction of rotation A of the rotor 4.
- the centering and locking ring 9 on a strip-like or spring-like projection 9.1 which is where the respective spindle 8 is guided at its lower end in a bore 13 of the ring 9 or a bearing arranged there, at 14 is interrupted so that then in each interruption 14 of the coupling section 8.1 a spindle 8 is received and in the initial or change position of the respective closing unit 6 and the spindle 8, the surface 8.1.1 pages each coupling section 8.1 its continuation in a side surface 9.1.1 of the projection 9.1 Find.
- the closing of the bottles 1 with the closures 2 takes place in the manner known from sealing machines.
- a closure 2 is first introduced into each capper cone 11.
- the relevant bottle 1 is oriented by means of a lifting device controlled by a lifting and lowered container carrier 15 with its axis in the vertical direction and coaxial with the axis of the spindle 8 of the respective Verschmonyposition 5, from below against the drive connected to the spindle 8 Capper cone 11 and 12 raised, so that the shutter 2 can then be screwed onto the thread 1.1 with the over the spindle 8 driven by the drive 7 Verschzelerkonus 11 and 12 respectively.
- the container carrier 15 associated with each closing position 5 are designed such that the bottles 1 are held suspended from the container carrier 15 when being closed at their bottleneck or at a flange 1.2 formed there.
- other embodiments of container carriers are possible.
- each Versch80position 5 or a group of such Verschdorfpositionen each have their own tool carrier, in which then the respective Versch95konen are rotatably arranged, but then preferably all the tool carriers are operated via a drive together for the format change.
- the present invention also extends to those embodiments in which the coupling sections 8.1 - notwithstanding the embodiment shown in Figure 6 - are not formed as a solid, full-surface element.
- the scope of the present invention also extends to such embodiments in which instead of the solid element only two pins protrude into the groove of the capping and thus make the necessary connection between the drive 7 and capper cone 11, 12. In this case, these pins can be stored for example with its upper end within the screw 8.
