  • 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.
  • a drive for example, in the form of a stroke control.
  • Such a closing machine was, for example, by the EP 1 529 751 A1 presented.
  • This document provides a method for operating a capping machine and a corresponding capping machine for closing containers with screw caps by screwing, wherein each capping position has a container carrier and a screw shaft at a lower end provided with a screw rotatably mounted about an axis screw shaft.
  • each of these screw shafts is further drivable with a few drive motor, wherein it is further provided that above the Verschrudposition is formed with the main pillar circulating monthly space.
  • the closing tools are each adapted to the type and / or size of the closures, so that when changing the capping of a VerNMart- and / or size 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.
  • the closing tools of all closing positions or at least one group of closing positions can be located on a common tool carrier, so that a format change is possible by moving this tool carrier or the tool carrier common to several closing positions.
  • 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.
  • 1 is a container in the form of a bottle, which by a screwed, in the FIG. 1 shown cut closure 2 is closed in the form of a cap.
  • the closing of the bottles 2 takes place in the manner known to the person skilled in a sealing machine 3, of which in the FIG. 2 only a schematic view of a rotor 4 driven in rotation about 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 coaxially 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.
  • FIG. 5 shows the Verschwinerkonen 11 and 12 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the tool carrier 10 so that all Verschmüerkonen 11 and 12 each have the same radial distance from the central axis of the tool carrier 10 and thus from the machine axis MA, said radial distance is equal to the distance that the axle spindles 8 have from the machine axis MA.
  • the Verschifferkonen 11 and 12 are provided alternately in the circumferential direction of the tool carrier 10, in such a way that each one Verschplierkonus 11 and a Versch redesignerkonus 12 form a Verschskeerkonusoom or Verschlußerkonus distr, with respect to the vertical machine axis MA an angular range
  • the number of occlusion cone groups is equal to the number of occlusion units 6, so that each occlusion unit in the illustrated embodiment is associated with a capper cone 11 and a capper cone 12.
  • 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 formed by electric adjusting rotors are so controlled or formed that the spindles 8 after each closing or screwing or to initiate a format change an output or 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 such embodiments, in which the coupling sections 8.1 - deviating from the in FIG. 6 illustrated embodiment - are not formed as a solid, full-surface element.
  • the scope of the present invention extends to those 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 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.
