  • FIG. 2 are the containers to which a lid 3 has been crimped, so that the container is firmly closed, denoted by the reference numeral 2 '.
  • the sealed containers 2 ' are removed by means of the removal device 24 from the crimping head.
  • the crimping head 5 comprises a plurality of cylindrical receptacles 6, in which the containers 2 placed with a loose cover 3 are fed by means of the feed device 4. At the bottom of the containers 6, a plate, not shown, is arranged in each case, on which the containers 2 are placed, wherein the plate can be rotated about its own axis by means of a drive, not shown. Furthermore, the crimping head 5 comprises a plurality of crimping devices 7, which are provided in this embodiment as roller burnishing rollers.
  • the crimping head 5 further comprises a plurality of clamping devices 8, which are formed in this embodiment as Plungermechanismen. How out FIG. 2 it can be seen, each recording 6 is assigned its own clamping device 8 and its own crimping device 7.
  • the clamping device 8 has the task to press the container 2 firmly against the bottom plate in the receptacle 6, so that it can be ensured that the container 2, together with the loosely placed lid 3, rotates about its own axis in order to crimp the lid 3 with the crimping devices 7 onto the container 3.
  • the containers 2 ', which have crimped the lid are then removed by means of the removal device 24 from the crimping head 5 and fed, for example, a carton packaging station.
  • FIG. 4 shows in more detail the structure of a clamping device 8, which are all constructed the same.
  • the clamping devices 8 are formed in this embodiment as Plungermechanismen and include a plunger 15 which is rotatably supported by means of two bearings 16 and 17. As in FIG. 4 indicated by the arrow F, the plunger 15 can exert a clamping force on the loosely placed lid 3 and thus press on the container 2 against the rotating plate at the bottom of the receptacles 6.
  • the plunger mechanism is pressed against the cover 3 by means of a lifting cam, not shown, which generates a corresponding clamping pressure at different positions in the circumferential direction in accordance with the curve.
  • each clamping device 8 rotates on the one hand together with the crimping head 5 and the respective plunger 15 still about their central axis.
  • the plunger mechanism 5 further comprises a compression spring 18 which biases the plunger mechanism, a plunger 22 disposed in a collar sleeve 21, an anti-rotation lock 20 to ensure against rotation of the non-rotating components of the plunger mechanism, and a spring 19 which serves as an overload protection to prevent the generation of a large clamping force F.
  • the packaging machine 1 also comprises a sensor device which, on the one hand, monitors the clamping force F of the containers in the crimping head 5 and, on the other hand, monitors the rotational movement of the containers 2 to be closed.
  • the sensor device comprises a first sensor 9 with a Hall sensor element 9a and a plurality of sensor elements 9b.
  • the encoder elements 9b are connected to the plunger 15 rotating about its axis.
  • the Hall sensor element 9a is arranged stationary.

  • the circuit board 11 includes a transmitter 12 for wireless transmission of signals to a controller 13 (see FIG. 1 ).
  • the sensor device further comprises a second sensor 10, which determines a clamping force of the containers 2 in the crimping head 5.
  • the second sensor 10 is formed in this embodiment as a strain-measuring strip and is also connected to the circuit board 11.
  • the second sensor is arranged at the upper end of the collar sleeve 21.
  • the printed circuit board 11 also undertakes the evaluation of the signals of the second sensor 10. It should be noted that the second sensor 10 can also be, for example, a load cell or another sensor for receiving power.
  • a number of rotations of the container in the crimping head 5 can be determined by means of the first sensor 9 and a gripping force of the container in the crimping head 5 can be determined by means of the second sensor 10.
  • a signal evaluation of the signals of the first and second sensors takes place in the printed circuit board 11.
  • the evaluated data generated thereby are then transmitted wirelessly via the transmitter 12 to the controller 13.
  • each circuit board includes a power receiving device and an energy storage.
  • an annular stator 14 is arranged so that the energy required for the circuit boards 11 can be transmitted inductively.
  • the stator 14 may also take on the task of defining the beginning and end of a measurement.
  • the inductive energy transfer to the circuit boards 11, it is thus possible that a particularly maintenance-free packaging machine can be provided because no downtime due to replacement of a battery are necessary, which could also take over the power supply of the circuit board 11, for example.
  • each circuit board 11 additionally includes a battery to provide, for example in the case of short-term transmission problems from the stator, the power supply to the circuit board 11.
  • a distance between the transmitter 12 and the controller 13 is preferably very small, for example between 0.5 m to 1 m. It is also possible that a receiver is placed as close as possible to the hemming head 5 in the packaging machine 1 and then a cable connection with the controller 13 is provided. As a result, the necessary energy consumption of the printed circuit boards 11 can be significantly reduced.
  • circuit board 11 does not take over evaluation of the signals of the sensors 9, 10, but transmits the recorded measurement data directly to the controller 13, in which then the evaluation of the measured data is taken.
  • the packaging machine 1 can thus provide a monitoring of a closing process of containers 2 with a lid 3. It is possible that for each container 2, a separate measurement result with respect to a clamping force and a number of revolutions in the crimping head can be detected. Signal transmission to a controller 13 is then wireless, e.g. by radio. Thus, it is possible to dispense with a wiring, which can be realized only very expensive, in particular due to the rotating crimping head 5.
  • a process reliability of the closure process can be increased, and furthermore the recorded measurement data of the closure process can also be stored separately for each container, for example for documentation purposes. This may be particularly important in pharmaceutical applications.
