Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for screw-closing vessels, in particular bottles, according to the preamble of claim 1 or 11.
  • Screw caps of vessels such as bottles
  • rotary machines with several circumferentially arranged and rotating about a common axis Verschdorfstationen
  • the caps are held in Verschdorfköpfen and these are both rotated after placement on the respective bottle mouth and the thread pitch lowered accordingly
  • the bottles can be raised accordingly during the rotation of the cap.
  • This object is achieved by a method in which the power consumption of the linear drive system of the closure head in a pick phase for receiving the respective closure cap and / or in a screwing phase for screwing on the closure cap is measured and compared with at least one characteristic value of the power consumption in order to prevent an impending or Failure to recognize.
  • the power consumption of the linear drive system can be used as a measure of the contact pressure of the capping head and thus give a direct inference about the contact between the capping head and the cap or the cap and the vessel mouth.
  • individual phases of picking up and screwing on the closure cap can be specifically controlled.
  • a characteristic value here is to be understood as meaning a single value, such as a threshold value, or a current profile, such as a positive or negative current peak, which serves as a reference value in a specific time segment of the method in order to be able to decide whether the closing process is correct or incorrect.
  • the term power consumption is used as a representative of all electrical variables that correlate directly or indirectly with the applied engine power, in particular as a measure of an applied contact pressure of the capping head or the cap.
  • the position of the closing head is also determined with respect to the linear axis of the linear drive system.
  • the characteristic value is an upper threshold of power consumption in the pick phase.
  • the upper threshold value is exceeded, it is possible to conclude that an inadmissibly high contact pressure force is applied, and thus to recognize or decide whether or that the closure cap is deformed and / or is not screwed on correctly. As a result, an impending false closure can be detected or a miscarriage can be avoided.
  • the characteristic value is a lower threshold of power consumption in the pick phase. If the lower threshold value is undershot, it is possible to infer an impermissibly low contact force and thereby recognize or decide whether or not the closure cap or a guarantee band of the closure cap is missing. As a result, an impending false closure can be detected or a miscarriage can be avoided.
  • the characteristic value is a characteristic peak of the current consumption in the pick phase, and it is checked whether the characteristic peak occurs in the pick phase.
  • Overcoming a mechanical resistance when the cap engages in the capping head produces a momentary increase in power consumption. It can therefore be recognized or decided upon occurrence of the characteristic current peak, whether or that the cap was correctly received by the capping. This makes it possible to make a statement that a cap can be screwed on with a particularly high probability correctly.
  • the validity of the review can be further increased and improve quality assurance.
  • the characteristic value is an upper threshold of power consumption in the screw phase. If the upper threshold value is exceeded, an increased mechanical resistance during screwing on can be deduced, as arises, for example, when a guarantee strip starts up at the bottle mouth. Thus it can be recognized or decided whether or that a guarantee band has been correctly attached. This ensures the quality of the closure.
  • the characteristic value is a characteristic peak of the power consumption in the screwing phase, in particular during a rotation against the closing direction, and a starting position of the closing head at the beginning of the thread formed by the closure cap and the vessel mouth is determined on the basis of the characteristic tip.
  • This makes it possible to determine a reference value for an absolute position determination of the bottle mouth. Such a determination is largely independent of tolerances of individual closing stations and therefore particularly accurate.
  • a lower target end position of the capping head is calculated, and the power consumption when reaching the target end position is compared with a further characteristic value of the power consumption.
  • the screw connection can be checked at a defined end point of the screwing phase. This allows a final inspection of the screwing process.
  • the further characteristic value is a lower threshold of power consumption in the screwing phase. If the lower threshold value is undershot, it can be recognized or decided whether or not the closure cap is unscrewed correctly or that the vascular muzzle is missing. As a result, a false closure can be detected.
  • the vessels are preferably supplied as a continuous product stream, and vessels that are recognized as being incorrectly sealed are discharged from the product stream. This can ensure that only properly sealed bottles are processed.
  • a device for screw-capping vessels in which a measuring device is provided for measuring the power consumption of the linear drive system, and an evaluation device for comparing the measured during recording and / or screwing the cap power consumption with a characteristic value of power consumption, to detect impending misclosure or mishap.
  • a measure of the contact pressure of the capping head can be determined and thus directly on the contact between the capping head and the cap or the cap and the vessel mouth are deduced.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment further comprises a control device for determining the position of the capping head with respect to the linear axis.
  • a favorable embodiment further comprises a discharge device for discharging incorrectly closed vessels. This can ensure that only properly closed vessels are processed.
  • the device according to the invention further comprises a control device that can control the linear drive system and the rotation drive system so that only caps for which no imminent miscorriage was recognized, are screwed.

  • the motors 5 could also be stepper motors or any linear motors, wherein the drive systems L, R need not necessarily be combined in one motor or housing.
  • Devices for introducing and discharging the bottles 2 are known in the art and therefore not shown.
  • the control device 9 could be part of a servo drive system.
  • the axis of rotation R ' is also indicated for the sake of completeness, the systems L, R driving the closing head 3 via a common shaft.
  • the closing heads 3 In combination with a neck star 10 for holding the bottles 2 to be closed on their collars 2a, the closing heads 3 form closing stations 11 over a certain machine angle range, as in FIG FIG. 1 indicated on the right.
  • elevations or spikes are provided in this, which can be brought into engagement with corresponding recesses in the bottle collars 2 a (not shown in detail).
  • glass bottles or reusable PET bottles could be held against rotation in a known manner, for example via a belt clamp.
  • a picking station 12 which is formed by the Versch.köpfen 3 with a pick wheel 13 and a supply 14 for the screw caps 4.
  • the closure caps 4 are provided on the pick wheel 13 in synchronization with the Versch.köpfen 3 and picked up by these by lowering over the respective cap 4 or picked.
  • a centering and clamping device 3a for the closure cap 4 is preferably provided in the closing head 3, for example in the form of spring-mounted circumferential balls.
  • the caps 4 are received and screwed on as follows and the process monitored by measuring the currents I L , I R and the linear position y of the capping head. Typical measuring curves are in FIG. 2 and 3 illustrated, wherein the currents I L and I R are always shown as positive values regardless of their respective drive direction for the sake of simplicity.
  • the closing head 3 for picking up or picking a closure cap 4 is first lowered to a position y 0 just above the closure cap 4.
  • the current I L increases from a base value l 0 for holding the capping head 3 against gravity to a substantially constant value during the lowering.
  • the closing head 3 is then lowered a second time in a picking phase P 1 , wherein a lower target position y 1 at the end of the picking phase P 1 from the known coordinates of the capping head 3, the cap 4 and the Picking wheel 13 with respect to the linear axis L 'can be determined.
  • a substantially constant current I L flows During a majority of the picking phase P 1 , a substantially constant current I L flows . However, the engagement of the closure cap 4 into the closure head 3 or the overcoming of a mechanical resistance in the centering and clamping device 3a by a brief increase in the current I L in the form of a current peak S 1 noticeable.
  • the current peak S 1 is within a time period T S1 , which is preferably no longer than one-fifth, in particular not more than one-tenth of the duration T P1 of the picking phase P 1 .
  • the current peak S 1 is typical for a correct locking of the cap 4 and serves as a characteristic comparison value, the occurrence of which expresses a normal behavior of the current I L.
  • a correct picking of the cap 4 can be detected on the basis of the course of the current I L in the picking phase P 1 .
  • the current I L remains at correct picking the cap 4 in the picking phase P 1, at least with the exception of the short-term current fluctuation S 1 within a certain range of measurement.
  • an upper and a lower threshold value I 1 and I 2 can be defined, in the case of which an error is exceeded or fallen short of.
  • a faulty closure cap 4 with asymmetrical cross-section can only be pressed into the closure head 3 with an increased mechanical resistance or not at all, as a result of which the current I L rises above the upper threshold value I 1 .
  • the current I L remains below the lower threshold I 2 .
  • the threshold values I 1 and I 2 are thus characteristic comparison values whose exceeding or falling below expresses an abnormal behavior of the current I L. If necessary, separate frequency components of the current signal I L could be compared with the characteristic values S 1 and I 1 or I 2 by suitable filtering in order to avoid misinterpretations. This also applies to the comparison with further characteristic values described below.
  • Falling below the lower threshold value I 2 can also be observed at least at the beginning of the picking phase P 1 if a guarantee strip 4 a on the closure cap 4 is missing, since in this case the total height of the closure cap 4 is less than with the guarantee strip 4 a and the closing head 3 the cap 4 is touched late when lowering.
  • the measurement of the current I L can be compared with a simultaneous registration of the linear position y of the capping head 3 in order to increase the hit probability and / or accuracy of the error determination.
  • the picking station 12 by monitoring the current I L in the picking phase P 1, damage or lack of the cap 4 can be detected and a subsequent mishandling in the capping station 11 avoided by, for example, unscrewing a damaged cap 4 onto an associated bottle 2 becomes.
  • the fitting, screwing and tightening of the caps 4 in the closing station 11 is based on the phases P 2 and P 3 in FIG. 3 indicated by way of example. Accordingly, the closure caps 4 are lowered in the Verschdaleköpfen 3 at the beginning of Aufschraubphase P 2 under specification of a desired stroke of the linear drive system L, wherein the current I L in the section P 2a in particular when placing the cap 4 on the bottle mouth 2b increases.
  • the cap 4 is rotated after pressing on the spikes in the section P 2b against the closing direction.
  • the seated on the thread of the bottle mouth 2b cap 4 is moved by this rotational movement initially as when opening the shutter of the bottle mouth 2b away, causing the contact pressure of the cap 4 and as a result of the current I L continue to increase until the pressed together or sliding Screw threads of the cap 4 and the bottle mouth 2b at a time t P2 or threading.
  • a characteristic current peak S 2 in particular a transient drop in the current I L due to the momentarily lower contact pressure during latching.
  • an associated time window T S2 (not shown) can be defined within the screwing phase P 2 .
  • the characteristic current fluctuation S 2 can be used to determine a defined upper starting position y 3 for the subsequent section P 2c , in which the closure cap 4 is screwed on in the closing direction. From the upper starting position y 3 , in turn, a desired value for a lower end position y 4 can be calculated when the cap 4 is completely screwed on to check the screwing operation.
  • a characteristic current peak S 3 in the current I L may additionally occur when starting the guarantee strip 4 a via the so-called Pilferproof ring (not shown), which is provided on the bottle mouth 2 b for fastening the guarantee strip 4 a. Accordingly, a tip S 3 in the operating current I R of the rotary drive system R occur, wherein the current consumption I R of the rotary drive system R is a measure of the torque or torque of the closing head.

  • the threshold value I 3 or I 3 ' is a characteristic comparison value, which can be inferred if it exceeds or falls permanently below a correctly or incorrectly attached guarantee strip 4a.
  • the Aufschraubphase P 2 ends with the complete screwing the cap 4, essentially as soon as the lower target end position y 4 of the capping head 3 is reached. Since a mechanical resistance must occur at the target end position y 4 when the cap 4 is screwed on correctly, the current I L at the end position y 4 must not be below a characteristic threshold I 4 .
  • the threshold value I 4 can be used as a characteristic comparison variable for the current I L , when exceeding or falling below in the section 2c a correct or incorrect fit of the cap 4 or a closure of the bottle 2 can be detected.
  • the current I R can also be compared here with an associated threshold value (not shown).

  • the capping head 3 moves into an ejector position, upon reaching which a cap 4, which may not be screwed on, is inserted in the capping head 3, is removed from the capping head and is then moved back into a starting position with respect to the picking station 12.
