Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a device for pivoting a bottle conveyed in a gripper from a hanging position to an over-head position and back.
  • Such a device is e.g. known from DE 94 11 971, in which the bottles are pivoted in the rinser via a push rod / pinion drive accordingly.
  • Turning devices for blow-preforms show DE 29708808 U1 or DE 100 17 050 A.
  • a particular disadvantage of the known devices is u.a. in that the rinser or the corresponding devices have to build comparatively large due to the integrated turning device and thus have an increased space requirement.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention in that the gripper od on a rotary member with a shaft, a gear.
  • Actively connected support arm is provided, wherein the Rotary element acted upon by a drive element and od at a star.
  • the Rotary element acted upon by a drive element and od at a star.
  • the particular advantage of the design according to the invention is that a free rotation of the star on the one hand and the rinser / spray head on the other hand is possible without causing collisions, even if, for example, these two elements are operated asynchronously, e.g. if they are equipped without bottles or if one of the devices is standing.
  • the invention provides that the star are positioned without contact with corresponding rotary elements for over-head pivoting of the respective bottle and the star for pivoting the respective bottle next to the rinser.
  • the rotary element is formed by a gear and the drive element by a push rod equipped with corresponding teeth, this solution per se being e.g. from the aforementioned DE 94 11 971 U is known.
  • the push rod is provided at its free end with a guide element, in particular a wheel roller, and / or that the wheel roller is acted upon to exert a pushing movement on the push rod by a sliding surface.
  • the push rod may be provided with a return spring, wherein the entire device may be surrounded by a protective barrier, as the invention also provides.
  • a return spring wherein the entire device may be surrounded by a protective barrier, as the invention also provides.
  • the rotary member is pivoted by a spring-loaded gripper arm, which, as is known, is provided with a C-shaped slide claw, with a guide rod is engaged, wherein a slide clamp with guide rod in itself is known from Applicant's solutions on the market.
  • the invention also provides that the gripper is designed to grip the bottle neck as an active or passive gripper.
  • the invention also provides that the gripper carrier is mounted in its horizontal direction at least slightly elastically or rotatably on both sides so as to compensate for asynchronism of the delivery and acceptance gripper the corresponding misalignments or to be able to adapt to certain different bottleneck diameters at least over a certain margin.
  • FIG. 1 shows a principle view of devices according to the invention in the region of a rinser with bottles indicated in the below-mentioned pivoting positions
  • FIG. 2 shows an element of a pivoting device according to a) first embodiment in two different b) bottle positions
  • Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention for a) pivoting with the bottle in different b) pivoting positions and in
  • Fig. 4 shows the sequence of the pivoting process in side view a) from the hanging conveyor position to the overhead b) position of the bottle over a spray nozzle of the c) rinser.
  • Fig. 1 the positioning of the designated 1a and 1b devices for pivoting bottles 2 is shown in principle with respect to a direction indicated by two circular sections rinser 3, wherein the bottles 2 initially from a hanging position, Fig. 1, on the left side of the figure, are pivoted in an over-head position in order to then be swung back from the over-head position to the suspended position after passing through the rinser, Fig. 1, right side of the figure. It can be seen here that the device 1a or 1b are moved very close to the rinser, but without touching it, which will be described in more detail below.
  • the bottle is not known in the art, pivoted in the rinser itself, but in one of the leading or downstream stars, so that the stars can be kept very compact even with the corresponding devices 1a and 1b.
  • FIG. 2 left-hand figure, it is shown how the bottle 2 is gripped by a gripper, generally designated 4, in the head region, the gripper 4 being held on a support arm of a rotary element, generally designated 6 is operatively connected to a shaft 7.
  • a gripper generally designated 4
  • the gripper 4 being held on a support arm of a rotary element, generally designated 6 is operatively connected to a shaft 7.
  • the rotary member 6 is acted upon in the embodiment of FIG. 2 by a drive element 8.
  • a drive element 8 These are, for example, the rack with corresponding pinion as the rotary shaft 6, wherein the rack of the drive element 8 is equipped with a rolling wheel, which can be moved by a sliding surface against the force of the spring so that it in Fig. 2, left illustration , can be moved to the right according to double arrow 10, so that the support arm 5 according to double arrow 11 moves upward in the in Fig. 2, right representation, such that the bottle 2 is now positioned above the head.
  • the star or plate on which the Device 1 is positioned is indicated by dashed lines and designated 12.
  • the here the pivoting effecting drive element is in the embodiment of FIG. 3 from a spring-loaded, fixed to the pivot member 5 1 rod 13 with a C-shaped slide claw 14, the sliding along a non-illustrated guide rod in engagement and so in their spatial position is shifted, such that the support arm 5 1 according to double arrow 11 'upwardly pivoted from the left position of Fig. 3 in the right position of FIG.
  • This pivotal movement is shown in Fig. 4 in three positions.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 is still indicated that the gripping arms of the gripper 4 and 4 'are provided on an elastic element which makes a certain degree of elastic deformation for widening the gripping arms possible. This makes it possible, minor asynchronous between the transfer positions from the

  • the described embodiment of the invention is still modify in many ways, without departing from the spirit, namely the idea that the smallest possible, compact design of the device 1 is provided, such that a rinser can be made smaller, the For example, it makes possible better and more advanced Rins processes.
  • dry aseptic rinsers that use H 2 O 2 , can be used, since the latter itself no Can swing bottles so that now from these dry aseptic rinsers the tilted upside down bottles can be treated. If the bottles are turned upside down at an early stage, as is possible with the present invention, dirt particles that may be present in the bottles can possibly fall out, longer drainage times are possible, so that less residual water is present and thus the risk of recontamination is reduced.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (1) de pivotement d'une bouteille (2) transportée dans un dispositif de préhension, d'une position suspendue vers une position tête en bas et inversement. L'invention vise à mettre en oeuvre un tel dispositif particulièrement compact pour les bouteilles transportées dans les dispositifs de préhension, pour permettre une utilisation dans une autre zone dans laquelle le pivotement est nécessaire mais l'amenée vers un dispositif de rinçage est optionnelle. A cet effet, le dispositif de préhension (4) est prévu sur un bras support (5) connecté opérativement par un élément rotatif (6) à un arbre (7), une roue dentée ou similaire. L'élément rotatif (6) est actionné par un élément d'entraînement (8) et disposé sur une étoile (12) ou similaire, disposée à proximité directe en dehors du dispositif de rinçage (3).
