Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a clip for gripping bottle necks, in particular of PET bottles, for use in bottling plants, wherein the staple arms are pivotable in the horizontal plane, according to the preamble of claim 1, and 7, and as shown in DE 10 2005 041 929 known.
  • brackets are available in very different configurations.
  • DE 10 2006 012 020 A a pair of clamps, wherein the two clamp arms are pivotable in unseparated axes and the closing force is held by a spring in the closed position. Since such spring elements often do not meet the requirements of hygiene required at bottling plants, it is endeavored to propose other closing mechanisms.
  • This looks DE 10 2005 041 929 Permanent magnets that support both closing and opening in different pairs. In this solution, the permanent magnets are positioned outside the staple gripping arms.
  • the object of the present invention is to allow lateral deflection of the clamps, while ensuring the immediate return to the desired position, e.g. a transfer star or the like
  • a clamp according to claim 1 or 7 solves this problem.
  • the staple holding block is equipped with spaced two same direction magnets.
  • a particular embodiment of the invention is that the central axis by the magnets in the bracket holding block on the one hand and in the approach of the pivoted brackets to each other also have a vertical distance, such that the pair of brackets is held against the direction of gravity on its pivot shaft.
  • This embodiment has the particular advantage that e.g. a simple replacement of the clip can be made without any tools, since the clip or the clip must be pulled off only against the resistance of the magnet down. It also ensures that the clamps are not inadvertently inserted the wrong way round, as the magnets repel each other.
  • This attachment has the additional advantage that the clip can be slightly deflected in height against the force of the magnets and is pulled back upwards after being deflected by the magnets.
  • the invention also provides that the clip is made with the clip arms, the pivot bearing of the clip and the approach for a permanent magnet and the associated bracket holding block with the magnetic receptacles made of plastic, wherein the permanent magnets are cast into the plastic.
  • the clip with the clip arms, the pivot bearing of the clip and the approach for a permanent magnet are formed as a plastic element.
  • This one-piece design makes the production extremely simple and inexpensive.
  • the possibility of pouring the magnet into the plastic also provides for their complete encapsulation and thus a facilitation of the cleaning of these system elements.
  • the invention also provides that the permanent magnet in the approach of the clip and the two permanent magnets in the clip holding area for the exercise of a centering force with the same poles are aligned against each other.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that e.g. a wrong insertion of the brackets is not possible, so can be kept only with appropriate arrangement on the magnets, an incomprehensible snapping, avoided by spring voltages according to the prior art.
  • the arrangement of the magnets may vary depending on the purpose.
  • eccentrically arranged magnet be provided for pure height fixation.
  • this can be used centrically and attractively both for height fixation as well as for centering the clip, while a magnet in the bracket and two eccentric and repulsive magnets in the holding block height fixing can be achieved and a radial centering of the clip.
  • the clip has permanent magnets in the region of the pivot axis, and wherein a holding block fixed to a star or the like has a projection positioned over the pivoting region of the clamping arms or the like Bracket facing side is equipped with at least one magnet, wherein the substantially opposing magnets to each other at a distance, which ensures the horizontal pivoting movement.
  • the centering or holding force causing magnets substantially vertically one above the other.
  • the positioning and the pole orientation of the magnets is also adapted to the respective installation situations and sizes of the elements to be centered or held.
  • the individually pivotable clamping arms are effectively equipped in their pivoting range with a magnetic disk, wherein the magnetic disk corresponds to a fitted with permanent magnet mounting member such that a restoring force by the permanent magnets in the magnetic disk on the one hand and the permanent magnets in the mounting member on the other hand is exerted on the staple arms.
  • the generally designated 1 bracket is rotatably mounted on a bracket holding block 2 about an axis 3 pivotally easily and manufactured in one piece from plastic.
  • the stapling structure is, as for example Fig. 4 shows, the following:
  • the clip 1 has two clip arms 1 a and 1 b.
  • the pivot axis 3 surrounding annular area in sleeve shape, in Fig. 1 denoted by 4, mirror-symmetrically two in the prospect about diamond-shaped clip bracket portions 5, which merge into receptacles 6, in which Permanent magnets 7 are cast in opposite polarity, such that a closing force of the clip is applied.
  • the permanent magnets designated with 8 gripping areas or gripping arms of the clip 1 are formed.
  • a projection 10 for receiving a permanent magnet 11 On the opposite with respect to the pivot axis 3 side of the clamp arms 1a, 1b is integrally provided on the bracket 1, a projection 10 for receiving a permanent magnet 11.
  • the staple holding block 2 is, for example, out Fig. 1 results, equipped with permanent magnets 12a and 12b, which face the magnet 11 of the bracket 1 and are poled so that they are the clip 1 in the in Fig. 1 hold positions shown.
  • the bracket 1 is dashed in positions in the 4 and 5 reproduced, for example, can be taken from her if a synchrony of the cooperating machine part dispensing or transfer of the bottle is not strictly adhered to.
  • the magnets 11 and 12 the clip is then retracted to the home position, which in the 4 and 5 is indicated by the double arrows 13 and 14 respectively.
  • a special feature of the invention is that the position of the magnets 11 and 12 to each other is selected so that the clip is pulled upwards in the position of use and thus held, which in Fig. 2 is indicated by a small double arrow 15.
  • Fig. 6 is in the illustration according to Fig. 1 reproduced a modified embodiment of the invention, wherein the same elements are also provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the Polforementioned the magnets 11 and 12 are for example in Fig. 6 reproduced symbolically and greatly simplified.
  • Fig. 7 a further modified embodiment of the invention is shown.
  • the magnets 11 are provided on the bracket 1 "upwardly facing permanent magnet 16, wherein at one end in the operating position, the clip 1" overlapping approach 17 on the holding block 2 two opposite, in this case downwardly facing permanent magnet 18 is provided are.
  • these pairs of permanent magnets 16/18 can both adjust the clamp 1 "in its horizontal position and swing it back into the starting position on deflection, but at the same time can apply the appropriate clamp holding force to hold the clamp in place.
  • the holding force of the positioning of the clamps 1, 1 'and 1 "effecting magnets is so large that the clip can take, for example, several PET bottles and these are able to promote, without that the braces lose their hold on the star.
  • FIG. 8 and 9 is another embodiment which is not part of the invention, shown for centering a clip, generally designated 1 "'The two clip arms 1a"' and 1b “'are here against the force of a spring 19 in a bearing block 20 via a mounting member 21 at one in the 8 and 9 merely indicated star 22 rotatably mounted.
  • a magnetic disc 23 Positioned between the surface of the clip 1a “'and 1b"' is a magnetic disc 23 which engages a pin 24 between the clip.
  • aligned permanent magnet 25 are positioned in the vertical direction, wherein in the mounting member 21 corresponding permanent magnets 26 are inserted so that they have a restoring force according to arrow 27 in Fig. 9 exercise.
  • bracket 1 can be chosen differently, as can here described closing magnet 6 may not be provided on the reproduced in the drawings position, but elsewhere and the like. More.
