Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a capping head for applying caps on containers, in particular bottles or the like, according to the preamble of the main independent claim.
  • the head in question is intended to be mounted on capping machines advantageously used in industrial bottling lines and units of fluids and in particular of beverages such as wine, whisky, mineral water, fruit juices or other, in order to close the mouth of the containers with caps generally held on the same containers by screwing.
  • capping machines advantageously used in industrial bottling lines and units of fluids and in particular of beverages such as wine, whisky, mineral water, fruit juices or other, in order to close the mouth of the containers with caps generally held on the same containers by screwing.
  • a conventional industrial bottling unit available on the market carries out the different packaging steps of the fluid product into the containers in sequences through dedicated operating machines that usually, as known, comprise at least one rinsing machine, a filling machine and a capping machine.
  • the containers are transported through the machines assigned to carry out the individual functions of cell wheels, Archimedean screws or conveyor belts.
  • Capping machines automatically close containers conventionally through a rotary turntable on which numerous capping heads are mounted, equally spaced apart and suitable for closing the containers while they transit around the turntable.
  • Capping machines close the containers through different types of capping heads, each equipped with specific mechanical solutions, researched according to the cap intended to be applied and the container to be closed.
  • a first type of capping head referred to as a "capper”
  • a capper which takes care of screwing caps consisting of screw caps, in general made from plastic or metallic material, on the threaded top of containers.
  • each head of this type is usually provided with gripping devices to firstly grip onto the caps and then screw them onto the containers by rotating around the axis of the head as is, for example, described and illustrated in patents EP 248,145 and DE 3912324 .
  • a second type of capping head is also known that is used to apply caps onto the threaded top of containers through rolling.
  • the capping head makes threadings or just notches on a flange, usually metallic, of the caps, by means of deformation against a finishing of the mouth of the containers.
  • each head of this type is usually provided with forming rollers, moved in rotary motion by the head itself against the caps to form threadings in their flanges as described and illustrated, for example in patents US 4,086,747 and US 3,303,955 .
  • the capping heads are supported all around the turntable of the machine through corresponding connectors in turn generally mechanically connected to the machine through chucks capable of setting them in rotation.
  • Each head is controlled in the capping operations through the controlled descent onto the container.
  • international patent WO 2004/005181 foresees controlling the descent of the capping head with a first travel suitable for controlling the screwing of the crowns on the mouth of the bottle and with a second travel suitable for controlling the rolling of the crowns below the ring of the neck of the bottle to make the guarantee seal.
  • the descent of the head on the bottle that operatively determines the actuation of the different capping steps through suitable operative means is controlled by a first cam formed fixed on the capping machine and in which a first cam-following wheel engages mounted on the support connector of the capping head.
  • a second cam is also foreseen, also arranged fixed on the capping machine, in which a second cam-following wheel of the capping head engages, having the task, once the closing operations of the cap have finished, of actuating an actuator pin that, by pushing on an ejection pin, determines the opening of the gripping devices for withholding the crown.
  • the actuator pin acts upon the ejecting roller to open the gripping device and for this purpose it is controlled to slide in the head by the second cam-following roller by varying the distance of the latter from the first cam-following roller. By increasing the distance between the two rollers, the actuator pin slides in the capping head and, acting upon the ejection pin, controls the opening of the gripping device.
  • the descent of the actuating roller must cover the entire operative travel that is made while shortening between a lower part and an upper part of the capping head and that is necessary to control the capping steps of the cap on the bottle (and in particular the screwing and rolling steps) and it must also cover the actuation travel necessary to act upon the ejection pin until the gripping devices are made to open.
  • the length of the operative travel as a sum of the travels of the different capping steps of the capping head influences the actuation travel of the actuator pin. Indeed, the distance between the actuator pin and the ejector pin must be sufficiently large so that, during the capping steps, the two pins do not interact with one another determining the undesired opening of the gripping devices, i.e. the breaking of the head itself.
  • the ejection pin receives from the actuator pin the impulse to open the gripping device with a quite long travel able to vary according to the different operative capping methods (or adjustment of the capping operations for example according to the caps used) which can lead to a modification in shape of the cams.
  • the ejection pin substantially fixedly connected to the gripping device during the capping operations, must be free to slide rising in the head during the shortening thereof concurrently with the operative closing steps of the cap, without interfering with the actuator pin that, on the other hand, is fixedly connected to the first cam in these capping steps.
  • the length of the operative travel depends, as well as upon the capping operations to be carried out, also upon the type of caps that are used, i.e. for example upon the methods with which the load must be exerted on the cap during screwing or during flanging. For example, it is possible to foresee an initial screwing step without load of the cap by the gripping device so as to avoid the threads riding over one another.
  • the task set that forms the basis of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art quoted above, by providing a capping head for applying caps on containers, in particular bottles or the like, which allows it to be adjusted, modified in its operative possibilities, or even in part replaced, without modifying the travel of an actuator pin to open gripping devices for withholding crowns.
  • Another purpose of the present finding is to provide a capping head, which allows extremely versatile use of the capping machine.
  • Another purpose of the present finding is to provide a capping head, which allows it to be adjusted to respond to the different capping requirements in a quick an easy manner.
  • a further purpose of the present finding is to make a capping head that is constructively simple, and operatively totally reliable.
  • this capping head it is possible to quickly adapt the capping machine to operate according to different capping modes according to the production requirements, i.e. according to the caps that it is wished to use.
  • the capping head object of the present invention is intended to be mounted individually on a single-headed capping machine or else together with other analogous ones on a multi-head capping machine of the rotary turntable type, to which we shall mainly refer in the embodiment given as an example and not for limiting purposes described hereafter.
  • a plurality of capping heads 1 of the type illustrated is intended to be mounted, in a per sé totally conventional way, around the periphery of the rotary turntable of a capping machine (not illustrated) and is thus used in the final step of industrial bottling processes to cap containers through caps or crowns.
  • such units usually comprise a rinsing machine, a filling machine and a capping machine, each of which is provided with a plurality of operative heads mounted circumferentially on its own turntable, respectively to rinse, fill and cap the containers in transit through the unit.
  • the passage of the containers from one machine to the as well as between the unit and the feeding and ejection means generally takes place through motorised cell wheels, Archimedean screws or conveyor belts.
  • the turntable of the capping machine rotates around its own substantially vertical central rotation axis and picks up the containers coming from the filling machine to then release them, once capped during the journey around the aforementioned central rotation axis, to an Archimedean screw or conveyor belt that directs them outside of the unit or else to another operative machine arranged farther downstream, like for example a labelling machine.
  • Each capping head 1 is equipped with a support structure, which is transported to rotate around the rotation axis of the capping machine and is equipped with a connector 2 actuated to rotate around its own central axis Y by a gear wheel 2' on which suitable motorisation means mounted on the machine act.
  • each capping head 1 as well as rotating around the axis of the machine, also rotates around its own central axis Y.
  • the connector 2 is rotatably supported by first actuator means 3 suitable for moving the capping head 1 along a vertical descent travel onto the containers and along an upward travel going away from the containers.
  • first actuator means 3 consists of a first cam-following wheel, to which we shall refer in the following description.
  • the downward travel foresees firstly an approach section to the underlying container and then, once this has been reached, a further operative travel for the actuation of capping means 4 intended to apply a cap 5 onto the top of a container, usually a bottle, according to the typical methods of the type of capping head 1 used or the type of cap.
  • the cap 5 can consist, according to the specific application, of a metallic crown for example made from aluminium or tin, entirely coupled with a threaded plastic sleeve, or else of a threaded cap made entirely from plastic, or even of a metallic crown to be deformed by crimping on the projecting thread in relief from the neck of the bottle.
  • a metallic crown for example made from aluminium or tin, entirely coupled with a threaded plastic sleeve, or else of a threaded cap made entirely from plastic, or even of a metallic crown to be deformed by crimping on the projecting thread in relief from the neck of the bottle.
  • the aforementioned capping means 4 are mounted on a lower part 6 of the capping head 1, elastically supported by an upper part 7 as better specified hereafter.
  • the capping means 4 comprise, in accordance with the example of figure 1 , a gripping device 8 adapted to grip the crown or the cap 5 at the top and screw it onto the threaded neck of the container, or they also comprise binding rollers 22 suitable for making a guarantee seal under the ring projecting out from the neck of the bottle by plastically deforming the side flange of the crown.
  • the capping means can foresee other mechanical solutions to close a cap 5 on the mouth of the bottle like for example presser means or even crimping means to make a threading, which is countershaped with respect to that projecting onto the neck of the bottle, by deformation on the flange of the crown.
  • the aforementioned capping means 4 are active for at least one operating section of the downward travel of the head 1 during which they determine a relative upward sliding of the lower part 6 of the capping head 1 on the upper part 7.
  • Means for controlling the gripping devices 8 are also foreseen comprising at least one ejection pin 9, mounted on the lower part 6 of the capping head 1, adapted to operate opening the gripping devices 8, and at least one actuator pin 10 mounted on the upper part 7 of the capping head 1 aligned with respect to the ejection pin 9, and controlled by second actuator means 11 to move with an actuation travel in abutment with its lower end against the upper end of the ejection pin 9 until it determines, through the axial sliding thereof, the opening of the gripping devices 8.
  • such second actuator means 11 consist of a second cam-following wheel, to which we shall refer in the following description.
  • the second cam-following wheel 11 controls the descent of the actuator pin 10
  • the latter acts upon the transmission means 12 until they are disengaged from the ejection pin 9, determining their mechanical coupling with the same ejection pin 9 to transmit the movement of the actuator pin 10 to the ejection pin 9 until the gripping devices 8 are opened with it.
  • the head 2 descends towards the bottle guided by the engagement of the two cam-following wheels 3 and 11 in the tracks of the relative cams that preferably remain an equal distance apart during all of the capping operations.
  • the ejection pin 9 is initially in an equilibrium position with respect to its possibility for axial sliding, in which it holds the gripping devices 8 open.
  • it is provided, at its lower end, with a widened annular portion 13 that, when the ejection pin 9 is in the aforementioned equilibrium position, stays in abutment against a flat face 14' of a thrusting element 14 of the gripping devices 8. In this position the ejection pin 9 stays still in equilibrium between the axial return force of a return spring 15 and the force holding the gripping devices 8 closed.
  • the capping head 1 goes down slowly, for example by 8 mm, driven by the first cam-following wheel 3.
  • the gripping device 8 is hinged with its arms to a mounted casing 16 of the lower part 6 of the capping head 1.
  • a mounted casing 16 is fitted onto the inner disc of a first bearing 17 and takes the motion through a magnetic clutch 18 formed by two opposite discs.
  • the aforementioned flanging means 19 comprise at least two levers 20 connected with hinges 21 with horizontal axis, on the lower part 6 of the capping head 1 that is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the aforementioned first bearing 17.
  • Each lever 20 has a binding roller 22 mounted at its lower end in a rotatable manner, said binding roller 22 being free to rotate with a vertical or slightly inclined axis with respect to the vertical, and it also has an idle wheel 23 mounted at its upper end in a rotatable manner, said idle wheel 23 being free to rotate around a substantially horizontal axis.
  • the idle wheel 23 rises back up along the head 1 and goes over a closing cone 24 foreseen around the periphery in the upper portion 7 of the capping head 1, making the levers 20 rotate around the hinge 21 and thus bringing the binding rollers 22 into contact with the flange of the crown to determine, through a deformation thereof, the guarantee seal.
  • the upper part 7 is in turn removably partitioned into two bodies 7' and 7" by a quick attachment device 25 of the type described from page 8 line 7 to page 15 line 5 of patent application no. PD2008A000137 to the same applicant that is considered included here for reference.
  • the device 25 is obtained with two elements snap-couplable to each other in a removable manner, of which a first element 26 is mechanically fixed at the lower part to the upper body 7' of the upper part 7 of the capping head 1 through first fixing means such as screws, and a second element 27 is mechanically fixed at the upper part against the lower body 7" of the upper part 7 of the capping head 1, through second fixing means such as screws, or rather it is formed in a single body with the aforementioned upper part of the capping head 1.
  • the two elements 26 and 27 are adapted to advantageously mechanically snap-couple in a removable manner, through two first appendages 28 formed on the first element 26 that engage in withholding relation in two first seats 29 formed in the second element 27.
  • the first element 26 is also provided with at least one second appendage 30, which is radially mobile with respect to the same first element 26 between a projecting position and a withdrawn position.
  • elastically yielding means act (not illustrated in the attached figures but clearly described in application PD2008A000137 included for reference) adapted to push it towards the projecting position.
  • second appendages 30 which project radially in diametrically opposite directions with the aforementioned elastically yielding means interposed.
  • the second element 27 is provided with a substantially axially centred shaped cavity, which is adapted to receive the lower end of the first element 26. From the inner face of such a cavity extend the first seats 29 in which the first appendages 28 are formed and two second seats 31 for receiving the second appendages 30.
  • the first seats 29 have a radial component so as to take up an undercut, blind and axially closed configuration.
  • the aforementioned first seats 29 are intended to receive the first appendages 28 after a relative rotation between the two elements 26 and 27 of the quick attachment device 25, in particular by 90 degrees.
  • the second element 27 is provided with two second seats 31 diametrically facing opposite one another having an extension in the second element 27 going from the aforementioned inner face of the central cavity with a radial component.
  • Such second seats 31 receive, preferably with snap-engagement, by means of the action exerted by the elastically yielding means, the respective second appendages 30 at the end of the relative rotation travel between the two elements 26 and 27 of the device 25.
  • the capping head 1 descends onto the bottle during the operative travel in which there is screwing of the crown 5 and possibly flanging of its edge determining a shortening of the head 1.
  • the head 1 continues to descend in the different sections of the operative travel while it remains rested through the gripping devices 8 at the crown mounted on the bottle.
  • the first and second elastically yielding means are respectively obtained with two pins concentrically carrying two respective springs (indicated with 32 in figures 1 and 2 ) mounted on them that are preloaded according to a predetermined screwing load, and four pins concentrically carrying four respective springs mounted on them that are preloaded according to a predetermined flanging load, which only work in the screwing step to load the levers 20. Since it is necessary to differentiate the load in the two screwing and flanging steps, the pins have strikers to actuate the relative springs at different moments of the descent of the head 1.
  • the load for the screwing will preferably be no more than 100 N, so as not to risk cutting the sealing gasket of the cap also taking into account the impulse due to the descent speed of the head.
  • springs 33 are foreseen mounted between the lower body 7" of the upper part 7 of the capping head 1 and the lower part 6 of the capping head 1 to make the screwing load.
  • the head 1 rises back up again causing firstly the binding rollers 22 to open through the descent of the idle wheel 23 from the closing cone 24 and then the gripping devices 8 to open.
  • the actuator pin 10 is controlled by the second cam-following wheel 11 to move away from the first cam-following wheel 3 to determine an axial sliding adapted to produce, through the interference with the transmission means 12, the consequent movement of the ejection pin 9 and thus overall the opening of the gripping device 8.
  • the ejection pin 9 acts with its widened annular portion 13 against a chute 14" of the thruster element 14 on which the gripping devices 8 are mounted.
  • Such interference with the chute 14" produces a widening of the ends of the arms of the gripping devices 8 and a consequent rotation thereof around the pin on which they are hinged, in a per sé known way, until the gripping devices 8 are completely open, which is maintained when the aforementioned widened portion 13 of the ejection pin goes past the chute 14" making contact and stopping in contact with the flat face 14' quoted earlier, of the thrusting element 14.
  • the transmission means 12 quoted earlier are obtained in accordance with a preferred but not limiting embodiment of the present invention as specified hereafter. They comprise a bushing 34, having a tubular shape with axial cavity aligned with the axis of the connector 2 and on opposite parts with the actuator pin 10 and the ejection pin 9.
  • the aforementioned bushing 34 is open on the bottom part to receive, in the aforementioned axial cavity, the upper end of the ejection pin 9 that goes back up during the capping operations, along the cavity and goes back down again once such operations have ended.
  • the aforementioned bushing 34 carries - housed in a seat formed in its thickness - at least one diametrically projecting element in particular consisting of a plurality of balls 44.
  • Such balls 44 have a diameter that is greater than the thickness of the bushing 34 in which they are housed so as to project inwards, outwards or on both sides of the bushing 34 according to the operative conditions explained hereafter.
  • an insert 35 is slidably mounted, also having a tubular shape and centrally hollow, which is shaped at the top part to receive, in abutment, the lower end of the actuator pin 10 for example with a closed upper wall 36 (provided with an extension appendage 36' in the case of the example of figure 3 ).
  • the insert 35 with the bushing 34 internally inserted is in turn housed in a guide sleeve 37, which is closed at the lower part by a bottom 38 that is centrally perforated to allow the ejection pin 9 to pass and is provided at the upper part with a first shoulder 39 adapted to define a stop element for the axial sliding of the insert 35.
  • a first spring 40 is interposed between the upper wall 36 of the insert 35 and a second shoulder 41 formed circumferentially on the inner wall of the bushing 34 and is preloaded to move axially apart the same insert 35 and bushing 34.
  • a second spring 42 is interposed between the bottom 38 of the guide sleeve 37 and a lower lip 43 of the bushing 34 arranged at the lower end thereof. Such a second spring 42 is preloaded to axially push the bushing 34 against the insert 35.
  • the insert 35 is in a raised position separate from the actuator pin 10, so that the ejection pin 9 is free to slide upwards in the axial cavity of the bushing 34 without the balls offering any resistance to its axial sliding. Indeed, during such operations the insert 35 does not interfere with the balls 44 allowing the ejection pin 9 to move them externally towards the insert 35 during its sliding in the axial cavity of the bushing 34.
  • the latter goes into abutment against the upper wall 36 of the insert 35 moving it into a lowered position, in which it interferes with the balls 44 through a chute 45 formed at the lower end of the same insert 35.
  • the chute 45 by descending pushes the balls 44 towards the inside of the bushing 34, until they a brought into engagement against a narrowed portion 46 of the ejection pin 9 formed with a step-fitting preferably at its upper end.
  • the actuator pin 10 overcomes the resistive force of the first spring 40 that, since it is smaller than that of the second spring 42, allows the insert 35 to descend sliding over the bushing 34 without moving the latter along the sleeve 37.
  • the balls 44 housed in the thickness of the bushing 34 are blocked in the radial direction on the outside by the insert 35 and on the inside by the ejection pin 9. Therefore, by doing this the balls 44 by axial descent movements of the actuator pin 10, rigidly connect the actuator pin 10 itself to the ejection pin 9 by means of the insert 35 that pushes the balls 44 housed in the thickness of the bushing 34 engaged against the narrowed portion 46 of the ejection pin 9.
  • the actuator pin 10 is able to control the opening of the gripping devices 8 with a very small actuation travel that is less than the operative travel of the ejection pin 9 during the capping operations. Moreover, the aforementioned actuation travel of the actuator pin 10 to open the gripping devices 8 is freed from the operative travel of the ejection pin 9 to control the capping allowing the capping operations to be modified, i.e. allowing the travels of the relative operative steps to be adjusted for example according to the different types of caps, without modifying the cams of the capping machine.
  • the capping head object of the present invention can be of the type screwing with controlled torque, for example through a magnetic clutch, with or without formation of the guarantee seal, in accordance with the embodiment given in the attached figures 1 and 2 or else it can be of the screw type for the formation of the thread on the cap through rolling.
  • the means assigned to the individual operations should be considered to be of the type already known and for this reason they are not described in detail.
