Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for closing containers.
- Such devices for closing containers have long been known from the prior art.
- a container for a beverage bottle is usually filled with the beverage and then sealed.
- a screw cap is screwed onto the container.
- the plastic screw cap which is screwed onto the containers, should meet several requirements. On the one hand, it must ensure tightness even at high internal pressures. Furthermore, he should also offer a visible guarantee band protection against manipulated opening and finally, the screw should be produced at a low price.
- Closing device the closures are rotated or screwed for closing on mouths of the containers.
- an end torque is predetermined for closing the containers, with which the closing process is completed and this final torque is less than a maximum torque which is applied at least once during the entire closing process.
- a maximum torque is achieved during the entire closing process, which is higher than said end torque.
- This maximum torque occurs in particular in the temporal section in which just the guarantee band is pushed over the corresponding ring over the mouth of the container.
- the final torque is at least equal to the maximum torque, but in particular higher than this, a reduction of the end torque is achieved by the inventive method.
- This overall high torque in the range of the guarantee strip is possible while still a desired low end torque of the screwed closure.
- the container is held and the torque applied to the closure of the container.
- a torque which is at least equal to the maximum torque is made possible for at least a period of the closing process.
- the closing device is not subject to any restrictions, so that the maximum torque is limited only by physical conditions of the closing device.
- the torque of the closing device is not limited.
- At least one characteristic of a torque of the closing device size is measured.
- This size is particularly preferably measured continuously during the closing process.
- the characteristic quantity is a current, i. H. the current with which a motor which drives the closing device is measured is measured. This current is at the same time a measure of the torque to be applied or applied.
- other sizes could be measured, for example, directly the transmitted forces or torques.
- changes in the characteristic size are determined during the closing operation. More specifically, it is determined whether the characteristic quantity and thus the applied torque increases, stays the same or decreases depending on the time or angle of rotation.
- the maximum torque of the closing device and the predetermined end torque is set.
- the maximum torque is achieved during the closing process at the moment when the guarantee band is passed over the ring at the mouth of the Container slides. Then the torque decreases.
- the decrease of the torque is an indication that now the guarantee band has been pushed over the ring on the container.
- the torque of the closing device can be set to the final torque to ensure in this way that the container is closed only with the final torque.
- the closing operation is divided into at least two sections, wherein in these sections different torques are permitted for rotating the closure body.
- a maximum torque is set in the prior art and this depends on the maximum torque which is necessary for placing the guarantee strip.
- a predetermined limit value for the characteristic quantity (D) is determined, and upon reaching this limit value, the shutter is rotated further by a predetermined angle of rotation or for a predetermined period of time starting from the rotational position at which this limit value occurs. While it is determined in the above variants by means of torque measurements or current measurements that a maximum torque has already been reached and thus the guarantee band has already been pushed over the ring, in this variant, the torque is determined in particular before the maximum torque is reached.
- the closure is then further screwed by a predetermined angle of rotation, this angle of rotation being sufficient for the guarantee strip to push over the ring.
- the torque is preferably not limited, so that the maximum torque range can be overcome.
- the final torque is set, i. after overcoming the area that requires the maximum torque.
- the predetermined limit value is in time before reaching the maximum torque. This means that the predetermined limit is reached in the rising edge of the torque curve.
- the present invention is further directed to a device for closing containers.
- This device has a holding device which holds the containers.
- a closure device is provided, which rotates container closures relative to the containers and preferably rotates onto the containers in order to close them.
- a control device is provided, which controls a torque with which the closures are rotated relative to the container, and furthermore a measuring device is provided which determines a characteristic value for this torque, wherein the control device is designed such that it provides the closing device with an end torque which is less than a maximum torque of the closing device. More specifically, the
- Control means of the closing device preferably before a final torque, which is less than the maximum during the closing process reached torque.
- the measuring device is preferably a current measuring device. This can be integrated directly into the control structure of a drive motor for the device.
- control means determines a time characteristic of the characteristic value during the closing operation. If this characteristic value, i. the current, and thus the torque decreases, a maximum torque (or end torque) is set for the further course, which is below this determined value of the torque.
- the device has a rotational position sensor which determines a rotational position of the closure. With the help of this rotational position sensor, a certain rotational position can be approached, after which a certain limit of the torque has been detected.
- the device preferably also has a control device, which causes that upon reaching a certain limit value of the torque, the closure is further rotated by a predetermined angle.
- Fig. 1 is a detailed view of a device for closing containers according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a curve of the torque according to the prior art.
- Fig. 4 is a curve of the torque in a further inventive method.
- Fig. 1 shows a detailed view of a device for closing containers.
- the reference numeral 10 refers to a container which has an opening 10a, on which a closure 14 can be screwed.
- a closing device 1 is provided, which initially moves the container closure to the mouth 10a and then rotates the closure 14 with respect to the mouth.
- the container below the mouth is held more accurately below a support ring of a holding device 12.
- the reference numeral 6 refers to a motor which causes the rotational movement of the closure relative to the container.
- This motor 6 has a measuring device (not shown), which measures the current with which the motor is acted upon.
- the motor also has a control device 16 which controls the applied torque.
- the reference numeral 18 refers to a rotational position sensor, which determines a rotational position of the closure, in particular with respect to the container 10.
- Fig. 2 shows a curve of the torque D in a method according to the prior art.
- the closure is screwed onto the thread 10a.
- D max which represents a local maximum and thus for the motor requires an increased current (area A).
- This increased torque D max is represented by the lower dashed horizontal line.
- Fig. 2 shows a curve of a torque for a method according to the invention.
- the final torque D End is lower than the maximum torque D max .
- the closing process is divided into two sections.
- a first section I comprising the sections A and B
- the maximum torque of the drive device is released. If it now requires the maximum torque D max to overcome the guarantee strip, then falls off the required torque. This also reduces the current consumption of the servomotor. As soon as the power consumption decreases, this is measured, more precisely, a predetermined size of the waste is measured.
- a second section II is defined and in this second section II, the maximum end torque D End is set. More specifically the drive motor for the closing only the required power for this final torque D End provided. This makes it possible to achieve a final torque which is lower than the maximum torque
- the current is preferably measured over the entire range A and B, and the second portion is only initiated when the torque D drops over a slightly larger portion ⁇ T. In this way, even small torque fluctuations can be taken into account so that the final torque is not accidentally set at the wrong time and in particular too early. It should be noted that it can also locally in the area A for a short time to torque decreases. If one does it in this area to set the final torque D end, the bottle could not be reliably closed.
- the reference M refers to an adjustable minimum torque drop. As soon as the torque falls below the value represented by the line M again starting from the maximum torque D max , the final torque D End can be set. Also in this way it is possible to avoid an accidental specification of the final torque D End due to slight fluctuations in the torque D.
- the reference M ges denotes the total torque drop.
- the torque Dend is the torque needed to close the container tightly.
- a predetermined current size is defined as the switching point Dumschait. From this current magnitude or the rotation angle of the shutter 14 corresponding to this current quantity, the shutter still becomes a predetermined head rotation angle
- CO is further rotated (for example by 100 °.) This angle of rotation is chosen so that the motor overcomes the maximum torque D max with increased or even maximum current consumption.
- the final torque D End is specified. Also in this way it is possible to overcome a strict lock guarantee band to allow the engine high power consumption and thus a high torque. Once the warranty strip has been overcome, the motor current draw is limited to the desired closing end torque.
- the above-mentioned head rotation angle CO is set such that the rotational position of the shutter is in the range of a minimum of the torque.
- Head angle CO can be determined in advance on the basis of empirical data. To determine this head rotation angle CO, a plurality of the courses shown in FIG. 4 can be evaluated. Furthermore, the device according to the invention may have a storage device in which different depending on different types of bottles
- Head angle CO are stored.
- the head rotation angle CO should be sufficient to turn the shutter from a region A of the course shown in FIG. 4 to a region B.
- the procedure shown in FIG. 4 is particularly suitable in cases where a high intermediate torque or maximum torque D max occurs. Furthermore, this method is particularly suitable when the torque drop M is very small or too different due to closure inaccuracies.
- the apparatus preferably has a timer which allows rotation for the above-mentioned period of time.
