Definitions
- the invention relates to a treatment machine for bottles or similar containers with at least one rotatably mounted about a vertical machine axis and rotatably driven about this machine axis rotor and a plurality of treatment stations formed on the rotor according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Treatment machines of this type are known in various designs, in particular as filling machines, labellers, inspection machines and rinsers.
- ball slewing rings are used, with which the rotor u.a. is rotatably mounted on the largest possible diameter to achieve the required stability.
- the disadvantage here is in particular that such ball slewing rings are expensive and often available on the market only with considerable delivery times.
- the object of the invention is to show a container treatment machine, which can be realized with sufficient stability of the bearing of the rotating rotor with a significantly reduced cost.
- a treatment machine according to the patent claim 1 is formed.
- the inventive design expensive ball slewing can be avoided. Nevertheless, it is possible to rotatably support the respective rotor on a large diameter relative to the outer diameter of the rotor and thus ensure the required stability of the rotor and of the bearing arrangement for this rotor.
- FIG. 1 in a simplified representation and in section a container treatment machine according to the invention in the form of a filling machine;
- FIG. 2 is a simplified functional view of a plan view of the container treatment machine according to FIG. 1;
- FIG. 2 is a simplified functional view of a plan view of the container treatment machine according to FIG. 1;
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, a container treatment machine according to the invention in the form of a filling machine, together with a capping machine.
- FIG. 4 shows an enlarged view of one of the roller bearings of the filling machine of FIG. 2; Fig. 5 u. Figures are similar to Figures 2 and 3 in a further embodiment of the invention;
- the container treatment machine generally designated 1 in FIG. 1 is designed as a filling machine for filling containers in the form of bottles 2 with a liquid product or product.
- the container treatment machine 1 consists of a rotor 3 that can be driven around a vertical machine axis MA (arrow A), which is designed in the form of a ring with a rotor section 3.1 and a rotor section 3.2 and filling stations 4 are provided at its circumference or rotor section 3.1, each consisting of one Filling element 5 and a container carrier 6, on which the bottles 2 are oriented with their bottle axis oriented in the vertical direction on a muzzle flange hanging.
- Each filling element 5 is connected via a product line 7.1 with a ring boiler 7 on the rotor 3.
- the bottles 2 to be filled are fed to the filling stations 4 in each case via a container inlet formed by a circulating transport star 8.
- the filled bottles 2 are taken from the filling stations 4 on a transport star 9 forming the container outlet.
- the peculiarity of the treatment machine 1 is that the bearing of the rotor 3 takes place on a relatively large diameter, which corresponds to about 70% of the outer diameter in this embodiment, the rotor 3 has at its the filling elements 5 carrying section 3.1, with the help of rollers 10 and 11 on a stationary recording or on a stationary, ie with the rotor 3 non-rotating machine frame 12 are freely rotatably mounted.
- the machine frame 12 and the two bearings 8.1 and 9.1 are provided for the transport stars 8 and 9.
- rollers 10 and 11 are preferably arranged distributed at equal angular intervals around the machine axis, in this embodiment, the rollers 10 each freely rotatable about an axis radially to the machine axis MA and the rollers 11 each freely rotatable about axes parallel or approximately parallel to Machine axis MA.
- rollers 10 which act as a group or in its entirety as an axial support bearing for the rotor 3, are in each case against a formed on the underside of the rotor or the annular rotor section 3.2 bearing or tread 10.1, which surrounds the machine axis MA circular and is arranged in the illustrated embodiment in a plane perpendicular to the machine axis MA. With the tread 10.1, the rotor 3 thus supported on the rollers 10.
- the rotor 3 At the acting as a group or in its entirety a radial bearing and disposed within the ring opening of the rotor 3 rollers 11, the rotor 3 is supported with a bearing or running surface 11.1, the inner, formed on the rotor section 3.2 and the machine axis MA concentrically enclosing Ring surface is.
- the rollers 11 and 12 are each individual rollers, ie rollers which are individually rotatably provided individually and spaced from each other and are preferably adjustable, both in the vertical direction, and radially to the machine axis MA.
- the drive of the rotor 3 about the machine axis MA takes place in the illustrated embodiment via a shaft 13 which is driven in rotation by a drive of the container treatment machine 1, not shown.
- the loading of the boiler 7 with the product or filling material via a line 14 and a rotary feedthrough 15th
- the particular advantage of the container treatment machine 1 is that the rotor 3 is axially and radially supported while avoiding an expensive ball slewing on a relatively large diameter, by an inexpensive and structurally simple bearing assembly, of the rollers 10 and 11 and the associated bearing surfaces 10.1 and 11.1 is formed.
- the design of the bearing surfaces 10.1 and 11.1 on the rotor 3 has the advantage that this is usually made anyway as a turned part and it is therefore possible to produce in the manufacture of the rotor 3 at the same time the bearing surfaces 10.1 and 11.1 with the required precision.
- the exact spatial relationship between the treatment stations on the rotor and outer functional elements, such as the transport stars 8 and 9 is particularly in lightweight and / or suspended and transported containers or bottles 2, such as. PET or plastic bottles of great importance in order to ensure a reliable operation of a treatment or production line containing the treatment machine 1.
- the movable arrangement of the bearings of the rollers 11 outside the fixed portion allows compensation for changes in the rotor diameter, especially in thermal expansion caused by changes in the rotor diameter, the (changes) eg in a hot filling of products as well as in a cleaning and / or sterilization of Treatment machine 1 occur with a hot cleaning and / or sterilization medium.
- This compensation of temperature-induced changes in the rotor diameter is effected by radial displacement of the machine axis MA, as indicated in the figure 2 with the broken line 3a.
- the transport stars 8 and 9 to the rotor 3 it has been found to be particularly advantageous if the fixed relative to the machine frame rollers 11 are arranged such that the tangent points between rotor 3 and the transport stars 8 and 9, even when occurring thermal expansions or not relocate only to a reasonable extent. For this purpose, it is for example of great advantage if the fixed rollers 11 are arranged at the tangent points or in the vicinity thereof.
- the bearing surface 10.1 is formed for the rollers 10 so that the rotor 3 is reliably supported on the rollers 10 in each state with this bearing surface.
- rollers 10 and 11 are provided on the machine frame 12.
- the rollers 10 and 11 are also the possibility to store the rollers 10 and 11 of both groups of rollers on the rotor 3 and form the associated bearing or running surfaces on the machine frame 12.
- a group of rollers for example the rollers 10 on the machine frame 12 and the other group of rollers, for example the rollers 11 on the rotor 3.
- the bearings for the radial bearing causing rollers 11 may be partially fixed and partially movable provided, for the compensation described above with changes in the rotor diameter.
- FIG. 3 shows a treatment machine 1a, which is likewise designed as a filling machine and in turn has a multiplicity of treatment or filling stations 4 each having a filling element 5 and a container carrier 6 on the circumference of a rotor 16 which can be driven circumferentially about the vertical machine axis MA.
- the rotor 16 is mounted rotatably and suspended on an upper support plate 17 of a support frame 18 about the vertical machine axis MA, again with the rollers 10 and 11 distributed around the machine axis MA. These are in turn freely rotatably mounted on the upper side of the support plate 17 , about axes radially to the machine axis MA (rollers 10) and about axes parallel to the machine axis MA (rollers 11).
- the rotor 16 of this is at least with its filling stations 4 having part through an opening of the support plate 17 on the underside of this support plate. Due to the design of the bearing or running surfaces 10. 1 and 11. 1 on the rotor section 16. 3 projecting radially over the rotor section 16. 1, the rotor 16 is mounted with the bearing arrangement formed by the rollers 10 and 11 on a diameter which is greater than the outer diameter that the rotor 16 has at the filling station 4 having rotor portion 16.1.
- the rotor 16 is similar to the rotor 3 with a machine rotor MA concentrically enclosing annular rotor portion 16.1, on which the filling elements 5 are provided, and formed with a radially to the machine axis MA extending rotor portion 16.2.
- the rotor section 16.1 projects beyond the upper side of the rotor section 16.2.
- the support frame 18 also has wall sections or a supporting frame 19 with which the support plate 17 arranged with its surface sides in horizontal planes is spaced from a substrate 20.
- the interacting with the rollers 10 and 11 running and bearing surfaces 10.1 and 11.1 are formed in the treatment machine 1a at an upper flange radially outwardly projecting rotor portion 16.3, in which the rotor section 16.1 merges at the top of the rotor 16.
- the underside of the rotor section 16.3 forms the bearing surface 10.1 and the outer circular cylindrical annular surface of the rotor section 10.3, concentric with the machine axis MA, forms the bearing surface 11.1.
- the bottles 2 to be filled are fed to the filling stations 4 via a transport star 21 forming the container inlet.
- the filled bottles 2 are taken from the filling stations 4 on a transport star 22 forming the container outlet of the processing machine 1a and transferred to a closing machine 23 or respectively to one of the closing stations 25 which are provided on a revolving rotor 24 of the closing machine 23.
- the filling stations 4, the transport stars 21 and 22 and the closing stations 25 and also further, not shown transport elements for the bottles 2 are each formed for a suspended support or a suspended transport of the bottles 2. Furthermore, the transport stars 21 and 22 and the rotors 16 and 24 suspended from the support plate 17 held such that the transport stars 21 and 22 in particular with their cooperating with the bottles 2 section and the filling and sealing stations 4 and 25 below Support plate 17 are located, while all bearing and drive elements, including the rollers 10 and 11 are provided above the support plate 17.
- seal 26 By a seal 26, the transition between the support plate 17 and the rotor 16 is sealed.
- Corresponding seals 27 and 28 are also provided on the shafts 21.1 and 22.1 of the transport stars 21 and 22 and at the transition between the rotor 24 and the support plate 27.
- the space below the rotors 16 and 24 and the transport star 21 and 22, in which (space) are the bottles 2 is closed in the illustrated embodiment to the outside, on the one hand by the support plate 17 and the openings in this support plate filling rotors 16 and 24 and also by the support frame 19 forming walls and an intermediate bottom 30, which is parallel to the support plate 17 and parallel to this support plate below the movement path the bottles 2 is provided.
- the shown, including the container treatment machine 1a, the closing machine 23 and the transport stars 21 and 22 having system 31 can thus be used for sterile or aseptic filling of a product in the bottle 2, which fed this system 31 and the sterile room 29 via an inlet lock and be discharged from the space 29 via an outlet lock after filling and closing.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show u.a. a container treatment machine 1b in the form of a filling machine, which in turn is part of a plant 31 for filling bottles with a filling material and for subsequently closing these bottles.
- the treatment machine 1 b differs from the treatment machine 1 a only in that the rollers forming the suspended support of the rotor 16
- the rotor 24 of the closing machine 23 is rotatably mounted in each case with a ball pivot connection 32. It is understood that instead of this storage also one of the rollers 10 and
