  • the sequence of container closures can be predetermined or changed as desired.
  • the supply of the first container closures to the transport device is controlled by a first blocking device and / or the delivery of the second container closures to the transport device by a second blocking device.
  • This blocking device can be, for example, elements which temporarily interrupt the transport flow of the container closures.
  • FIGS. 1 a and 1b show two illustrations of a device 1 for transporting container closures.
  • three feeders 2,4,6 are provided, in each of which container closures 10a, 10b and 10c are arranged.
  • container closures 10a, 10b and 10c are arranged.
  • only one particular type of container closures is arranged in the individual feed devices 2, 4, 6.
  • the reference numerals 22, 24 and 26 relate to locking devices which are arranged here at the end of the respective feed device 2, 4, 6 and which allow or prevent leakage of the container closures 10a, 10b or 10c by appropriate movements.
  • the locking devices 22, 24, 26 are each designed so that they can allow the passage of individual container closures 10a, 10b and 10c as in FIG. 1 a illustrates.
  • these locking devices may, for example, have openings which allow just the passage of a single closure but block the passage again with a corresponding further movement.
  • a collecting device 12 is arranged, into which the individual container closures 10a, 10b and 10c fall.
  • the locking devices 22, 24, 26 can be controlled in which order the container closures 10a 10b and 10c reach the collecting device 12.
  • a transport device 8 At the lower end of the collecting device is followed by a transport device 8, in which the container closures 10a 10b and 10c arrive.
  • the sequence or sequence of the container closures 10a, 10b and 10c in the transport device 8 can be controlled by a corresponding activation of the blocking devices 22, 24, 26.
  • the container closures 10a, 10b and 10c move in the individual feed devices and advantageously also in the transport device under the action of gravity. In this case, the individual container closures in the feed devices and the transport device 8 are advantageously already uniformly oriented.
  • Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment of a device 1 for transporting container closures. It can be seen that here the feeder 4 is set higher than the two feeders 2 and 6. In this way, the circumstance can be taken into account that the closures 10a and 10c may have a greater fall time, since they over the Slant surfaces 12a of the collector 12 slide off while the closures 10b fall directly in the vertical direction down.
  • FIGS. 3a-3d show a representation of another device 1 for transporting container closures. Again, the feeders 2, 4, 6 are shown again and a distribution device 20, in which the individual feeders 2, 4, 6 open.
  • the distributor 20 has a housing 28.
  • FIG. 3b shows a representation in which the collecting device 12 is opened, ie in which a lid 16 is opened (especially for cleaning and maintenance purposes or to eliminate jams) and thus a collecting chamber 14 of the collector 12 is free.
  • the collecting space 14 is designed such that the container closures do not tilt when the cover 16 is closed and can thus become wedged.
  • FIGs 3c and 3d show a further illustration, in which now the housing 28 of the distributor 20 is opened. It can be seen here, the three locking devices 22, 24 and 26, each controlling the supply of the container closures in the collecting device 12.
  • the feeders 2, 4, 6 are in this embodiment, in particular in Figure 3c shown completely separated but parallel to each other. Furthermore, the lower portion of the feeders 2, 4, 6 each form a jam distance for the container closures.
  • FIG. 4 shows an overall view of a device for transporting container closures.
  • three reservoirs 42, 44, 46 are provided here, in each of which the container closures are unsorted but are introduced separately into classes, for example colors.
  • the reservoirs 42, 44, 46 are in this embodiment sorting, which are suitable container closures, which are present as bulk material, in a similar orientation - bring a predetermined position - and isolated, so leave in a row successively.
  • the similar orientation can, for example, be "all container closures with their interior upwards".
  • the container closures pass via chutes 42a, 44a and 46a respectively to inspection or control devices 52, 54, 56 in which the container closures are checked, for example, according to physical characteristics or damage.
  • Damaged container closures or those with unwanted physical features can be removed from the series of container closures.
  • the container closures which are to be supplied to the distributing device 20 can be transported, for example, by means of conveyor belts 42b, 44b and 46b. Subsequent to the inspection or control devices, the container closures reach the respective feed devices 2, 4, 6 and the distribution device 20 into the transport device 8.
  • the reference numeral 50 relates to a single-ended star that separates the container closures into a capper (not shown) supplies.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of such a device.
  • a rotating shege leopardrad 60 is provided which serves as a collector for container closures in the desired sequence.
  • the shege leopardrad 60 has a plurality of recesses 62, which each serve to guide the individual container closures 10 a, 10 b and 10 c. Again, three feeders 2, 4, 6 are shown, via which either the container closures can be supplied.
  • the rackge leopardrad 60 is supplied in any order with the individual container closures 10a 10b and 10c.
  • the reference numeral 64 denotes a border, which causes the container closures hold in the recesses 62 and thus serves as a transport device 8.
  • the container closures 10a, 10b, 10c are transferred directly to the capping machine in the desired order.
  • a further transport device 8 for example in the form of a (not shown) channel after the shege leopardrad 60.
  • the sawtooth 60 is permanently supplied with the closures 10c from the feeder 6. If the closures 10c are located in the recesses 62, this prevents entry of further container closures 10a and 10b. If the blocking device 26 prevents the supply of the container closures 10c instead, the container closures 10b may occur and in turn prevent entry of the container closures 10a. If the blocking device 24 also blocks the supply of the container closures 10b, the container closures 10a enter into the recesses 62. If desired, however, it would also be possible to selectively create vacancies, ie positions of recesses 62 which are not occupied by container closures.
  • three or more sorting units with the individual webs or feed devices 2, 4, 6 can thus be available at a filling device, which bring the container closures up to the stoppers 22, 24, 26 shown.
  • the funnel-shaped collecting device is provided, into which the container closures can slip.
  • the said locking devices can react as quickly as necessary to place the container closures.
  • the container closures can thus slide out of the various paths or feed devices 2, 4, 6 into the collecting device 12 and thus the transport device 8.
  • This transport device 8 can then, as in FIG. 4 shown, lead to the so-called pick wheel 50 of the capper.
  • the collecting device 12 may, depending on how fast the container closures must fall, be mounted vertically or at a different angle.
  • the length of the collector 12 is dependent on the cycle time or performance of the filler.
  • the collecting device is drawn as a sheet metal construction, but it would also be possible that the collecting device is formed, for example, of rods into which the container closures slide, as in the case of closure channels known from the prior art.
  • a movable stop and guide element 22, 24, 26 (shown only schematically) which can be opened and closed by a pre-loaded control.
  • the various container closures 10a, 10b, 10c can be formed in the pick wheel 60 in an indiscriminate but predetermined sequence. From this pick wheel or sawtooth 60, the order is passed unchanged to the closing elements of the sealer.
  • FIG. 6 shows a block diagram-like representation of a plant according to the invention for treating containers.
  • a filling device 40 is provided which fills the individual containers 70a, 70b and 70c with a liquid, for example with milk.
  • this filling device has a control device 45, which on the one hand controls the filling of the container on the other hand, however, allows a clear individualization of the filled containers 70a, 70b and 70c.
  • the containers are preferably transported isolated. Furthermore, an association device 55 is provided, which assigns the respective filled containers 70a, 70b and 70c those closures 10a, 10b and 10c, with which they are closed.
  • the reference numeral 25 denotes a control device, which controls the individual locking devices 22, 24, 26
  • each container 70a, 70b and 70c is closed by means of a closing device 90 with a corresponding correct closure 10a, 10b and 10c.
  • a closing device 90 with a corresponding correct closure 10a, 10b and 10c.
  • the device advantageously has an error detection device (not shown) which, for example, outputs a corresponding alarm signal in the event of faulty closures or faulty container or ejects a correspondingly incorrectly closed container.
  • the individual containers 70a, 70b and 70c can each have identification devices, such as barcodes or the like, so that it can be determined after their filling with which closure they are to be closed.
  • Fig. 7 shows a further embodiment of another device for transporting container closures.
  • different closure variants 10a, 10b, 10c can be supplied to the capper in free combinatorics.
  • a plurality of feeders 2, 4, 6 are arranged on a rotatable support 30.
  • This carrier is attached to a shaft 32 and is driven by a drive device 34.
  • locking devices are provided, but only the two locking devices 22 and 26 are shown.
  • each of the feeders 2, 4, 6 and each of the magazines each contains a closure type that can be sorted and sorted removed from the magazine. The removal is done by populating a star 80 according to the desired order of closure types. This star also rotates by means of a shaft 82 and a drive 84.
  • the feeders 2, 4, 6 at least partially movable and in particular rotatable about a predetermined axis of rotation.
  • the feed devices can be designed such that they allow a transport of the container closures even with slight twists or twists.
  • the feeders could be arranged at a shorter distance on the support, so that only correspondingly lower rotations or movements of the feeders 2, 4, 6 are necessary to convert the shutter feed.
  • each feeder 2, 4, 6 can be fed by a separate sorting unit or a separate alignment module, which previously assumes the orientation, optionally sterilization and / or quality assurance.
  • the feeders 2, 4, 6 here also perform the function of a buffer memory.
  • closures 10a, 10b, 10c are thus fed to the capper 90 in a pre-selected combination, this combination corresponding exactly to the supplied product, label and / or container.
  • the closures are buffered in a revolver magazine or in individual chambers sorted and controlled according to a code (which, for example, from a production planning results) and fed the capping trough (not shown in detail) in the desired order.
  • an upstream color and form sorter can be used to load the feed unit / capping trough in the desired order of closure types.
  • the closures are poured into a funnel and fall into the sorting unit, which preferably also takes over the orientation and possibly sterilization.
  • unwanted closures fall through a grid and are fed again to the hopper.
  • the desired closures are then transported on.
  • the reference numeral 92 refers to a transport star which transports, for example, from a filling device, the filled but still unclosed containers 70a.
  • the containers are transported with the predetermined container closures and closed and then the filled and sealed containers are transported away with another transport star 94.
