Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a device for gripping PET bottles in bottling plants, in particular for the transfer of star to star / filler / rinser or the like.
  • Grippers of bottles or other vessels in bottling plants are known in different designs, for example, from the utility models DE 297 13 510 U or DE 20 2006 018 379 U 1 in which with the intermediate positioning of a pivot joint the gripper end of the two gripping arms is associated with one actuating end between which, for example, an eccentric cam or the like is rotatably mounted so as to effect an open position or a closed position.
  • Deformable plastic gripping arms are known from DE 20 2006 004 641, which, however, do not have their own drive for active movement.
  • this object is achieved by providing a thrust body which effects the opening and closing of grippers on a guide positioned vertically in the position of use and acts on at least one spring in the raising and lowering directions is and whose movement is effected via a control cam with a rolling wheel.
  • a very particular advantage of the invention is that to keep PET bottles of different Neck diameter by the design of the gripper arms without exchange of elements, such as bottles with a small diameter of, for example, 23 mm to bottles large neck diameter, eg of 43 mm, without the invention being limited to these diameter specifications.
  • the thrust body guides are associated with operative connection to each gripper for exercising the opening and closing movement.
  • the guides are designed as V-shaped or angularly aligned slots in a thrust body associated control plate.
  • slots can be, for example, Operate operating ends of the gripper arms, so as to effect the opening or closing.
  • An expedient particular embodiment of the invention is that two acting on the thrust body springs have different spring constants and / or spring preloads.
  • acting springs for holding with increased gripping pressure may be a "strong spring”, while it may be in the closing movement of the gripper arms to hold with normal gripping pressure acting springs to "weak springs”.
  • control curve can e.g. automatically be configured adjustable by a pneumatic drive, it can also be adjusted manually.
  • a particularly compact and simple construction of the device according to the invention results from a modified embodiment, which is characterized in that the sliding body with rolling wheel is formed directly by the control plate. If, as provided according to the invention, the control plate itself equipped with the sliding surfaces for opening and closing the gripper on the control cam moving wheel, results in a particularly compact and space-saving design of the active gripper according to the invention.
  • the grippers are equipped at their operating end with sliding sleeves, wherein the sliding sleeves have the slidably guided in the slots actuation pin with rollers and are arranged on transverse to the control plate sliding rods.
  • Fig. 1 is a spatial representation of the device in indicated
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the device according to another embodiment and in the
  • FIG. 6 and 7 are side views of a part of the device of FIG. 5th
  • the generally designated 1 device is, for example, part of a bottling plant, which is not shown in more detail, merely indicated by a dashed representation of a plant element. 2
  • the device has a thrust body 3, which is attached to two horizontally po- sition convinced guide rods 4 is slidably mounted as well as a thrust body 3 enclosing, in side view approximately U-shaped control plate 5, which is also displaceable on the guide rods 4.
  • a first spring 6 is positioned, while between a support 7 on the lower side of the guide rods 4 and the lower U-leg 5b a another spring 8 is clamped.
  • the thrust body 3 has a rolling wheel 9 which acts on control cams (not shown) so as to bring about a forced movement of the thrust body 3 into different positions.
  • the thrust body 3 is freely movable between the U-legs 5 a and 5 b of the control plate 5, such that upon arrival and removal of the thrust body 3 on the guide rods 4 due to the force of the respective spring 6 and 8, the control plate synchronously with is raised or lowered.
  • V-shaped oblong holes 10 are provided into which the operating ends 11 of grippers 12 engage, the grippers 12 being positioned in a bearing element 13, which is fixed in place on element 2 of the filling plant.
  • control plate 5 By the arrival and withdrawal of the thrust body 3 due to the rolling of the rolling wheel 9 on the control cam, the control plate 5 is also moved up and down, so that necessarily the operating ends 11 are adjusted in the oblique slots 10, such that the Gripper 12 open or close.
  • Figs. 2 to 4 different working positions are shown.
  • Fig. 2 shows the thrust body 3 in its upper position, in which the spring 6 is compressed, such that a sufficient gripping force of the gripper 12 is exerted to approximately bottles (indicated by dashed lines in Fig. 5 and 6 and denoted by 16) to be able to remove from a container or to transport filled bottles 16 can.
  • Fig. 3 shows a center position in which the grippers 12 still maintain substantially their closed position, but with lower closing force, while
  • Fig. 4 shows the opening position at fully lowered thrust body 3 against the force of the spring 8.
  • Figs. 5 to 7 a modified embodiment of the invention is partially shown, wherein some of the elements have been omitted for purposes of illustration.
  • the rolling wheel 9 is supported directly by the designated control plate 5, wherein in the control plate 5 at an angle to one another elongated holes 10 are provided, engage in the pins with rollers 11 a, which are provided on sliding sleeves 14, with the operating end 11 of the gripper 12 are in communication and sliding rods 15 transversely to the control plate 5 are displaced.
  • the opening movement of the gripper 12 is effected by raising the control plate by means of the rolling wheel 9, the closing of the gripper 12 of the spring. 6
  • the device 1 according to the invention is attached to the corresponding machine elements 2 with clips 17 and can be replaced without tools.
  • the guide pins 15 for the sliding sleeve 14 are only clipped into the bearing element 13, so that they are easily replaceable and at the same time can serve as "predetermined breaking points" if an excessive load is exerted by the gripper 12.
  • the entire construction can be easily unhooked, it is possible to adapt the design to different Neckringdicken, for example, by placing a disc, so that the height of the gripper is correspondingly adapted in a thicker neck ring.
  • the described embodiment of the invention is still modify in many ways, without departing from the spirit.
  • the invention is not limited in particular to the illustrated guide the thrust body, this may also be positioned on a push rod, for example, simultaneously forms the core guide of the two springs 6 and 8 and which is provided at its lower end with a rolling wheel for driving over a cam u. like.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de préhension de bouteilles PET dans des installations de mise en bouteilles, destiné notamment au transfert de tourniquet à tourniquet/dispositif de remplissage/dispositif de rinçage ou analogue. L'invention vise à créer un dispositif de préhension qui offre, de manière techniquement simple, différents degrés de fermeté lors de la préhension, comme il est souhaitable, notamment pour les bouteilles PET, lorsqu'elles sont remplies de liquides chauds et donc aisément déformables. A cet effet, un élément de poussée (3) provoquant l'ouverture et la fermeture de griffes (12) est placé sur un dispositif de guidage (4), qui est à la verticale en position de service, cet élément de poussée (3) étant soumis à l'action d'au moins un ressort (6) dans le sens de levage et d'abaissement et son déplacement étant provoqué par une came de commande avec roue mobile (9).
