Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a device for pivoting a bottle conveyed in a gripper from a hanging position into an overhead position and back, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • bottles when bottles are transported in a suspended position, e.g. fed to a rinser, it is necessary to pivot the bottles from the hanging position to an overhead position so that the rinsers' spraying means can wash out the interior of a bottle thus positioned. After cleaning, the bottles must then be swung back into the appropriate, the hanging transport enabling position.
  • Such a device is for example from the DE 94 11 971 known, in which the bottles are pivoted in the rinser via a push rod / pinion drive accordingly.
  • Turning devices for blow preforms show that DE 297 08 808 U1 or the DE 100 17 050 A
  • the GB 2 193 507 A discloses a painting machine in which painted cans are everted to drip so Lackiermaterial. The everting is achieved with a turning device, which grab the cans with a gripper.
  • the gripper is always wegorlentlert with its single gripping opening, so when taking over the cans from the painting, the radial transport and the transfer to the conveyor belt, substantially in the same plane radially from the axis of rotation of the star.
  • 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.
  • the object is achieved with a device having the features of claim 1, wherein the gripper od on a rotary member with a shaft, a gear.
  • Effectively connected support arm is provided, wherein the rotary member 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 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 back the respective bottle next to the rinser.
  • the rotary element is formed by a gear and the drive element is formed by a push rod equipped with corresponding teeth, this solution being considered, for example, from the already mentioned DE 94 11 971 U is known.
  • Embodiments of this push rod technology can be characterized in that the drive element is formed by a acted upon by a push rod sell or band.
  • the Sohubstange is provided at its free end with a guide element, in particular a wheel roller, and / or that the wheel roller is acted upon by a sliding surface to exert a pushing movement on the push rod.
  • the push rod may be provided with a return spring, wherein the entire device may be surrounded by a protective balk, as the invention also provides.
  • rotary member is pivoted by a spring-loaded gripping arm, which, as is known, provided with a C-shaped slide claw, is engaged with a guide rod, wherein a slide clamp with guide rod seen by itself is known from solutions available on the market of the applicant.
  • the invention also provides that the gripper for gripping the neck of the bottle is designed as an active or passive gripper.
  • the invention also provides that the gripper carrier is mounted elastically or rotatably in its horizontal direction at least slightly on both sides in order to be able to compensate for the corresponding misalignments in the case of asynchronism of the dispensing and transfer grippers or in order to obtain a certain amount different bottleneck diameter to be able to adjust at least over a certain margin.
  • Fig. 1 In principle, the positioning of the devices designated by 1a or 1b for pivoting bottles 2 is shown in relation to a rinser 3 indicated by two circular cutouts, the bottles 2 initially being suspended from a hanging position, Fig. 1 left side of the figure, are pivoted in an overhead position, and then, after passing through the rinser, are pivoted back from the over-head position to the hanging position, 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 is 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 The left-hand figure shows 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 operatively connected to a shaft 7 by a rotary member, generally designated 6.
  • the rotary member 6 is in the execution of Fig. 2 acted upon 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 that can be moved by a sliding surface against the force of the spring so that it Fig. 2 , Left view, 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.
  • Fig. 3 In the illustration of the Fig. 3 the bottle 2 is held in the device designated 1 'in a gripper 4', wherein in Fig. 3 functionally same elements of construction after Fig. 2 bear the same reference numerals, but supplemented by a ""'.
  • the pivoting effecting drive element consists in the embodiment of Fig. 3 from a spring-loaded, on the pivot member 5 'fixed rod 13 with a C-shaped slide claw 14, the sliding along a guide rod, not shown in detail, and is moved in its spatial position, such that the support arm 5' according to double arrow 11 'after above from the left position of the Fig. 3 in the right position of the Fig. 3 is pivoted.
  • This pivoting movement is in Fig. 4 reproduced in three positions.
  • the support arm 5 moves in a region which ensures that, for example, the spray nozzle 15 of the rinser 3 is not touched, so that in this way it is not absolutely necessary that the rinser and star 12 completely on each other have to move in a coordinated manner.
  • the described embodiment of the invention is still to be modified 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, for example, better and advanced rinsing process possible.
  • 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.
