- brackets for the container and each associated with each holder closing unit are arranged, which rotate with the center column about the vertical axis.
- a stationary frame is further provided, to which a lifting cam is mounted, on which the closing unit rolls with a roller arrangement such that a predetermined lifting movement of the closing unit can take place along the extended center line of the container, so that a closure from above the container can be placed.
- a rotary drive for the closing unit is further provided, with the aid of which, for example, screw caps can be screwed onto the container.
- the rotary drive includes a first gear member in the form of a gear which is rotatably mounted on the stationary frame.
- a second gear member in the form of a gear is located on the circumference of the closing unit and moves with this around the vertical axis of the column. Both gear members are engaged with each other, so that the gear members roll on each other and the closing unit is thereby rotated.
- the drive of the closing unit is thus derived from the drive of the transport device. However, this determines the direction of rotation and the speed of rotation. In addition, this type of drive requires extensive conversion measures when special user needs must be addressed.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a closing device that provides a structurally simple way greater flexibility in the fulfillment of user wishes of the closing.
- the advantages of the transmission elements with respect to a simple construction and a functionally reliable, robust design are maintained, but increases the flexibility by a separate drive of the first of the transmission links.
- the drive can be used to adjust the speed to the particular screw cap used and the torque to the material of the screw cap and container, as well as rotational movements in both directions are easily possible.
- Torque motors are relatively compact, so that their runner may have a smaller outer diameter than the pitch circle of the holders of the container in the closing device and thus allows a compact design.
- the drive especially when using a hollow shaft motor, can easily sit on the rotating column, which acts as a drive for the transport device.
- the torque motor thus moves together with the column and independently, so that in a simple way changes in the transport speed can be included in the drive speed of the closing device.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verschließeinrichtung bereit zu stellen, die auf konstruktiv einfache Weise eine größere Flexibilität bei der Erfüllung von Benutzerwünschen der Verschließeinrichtung bietet.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a closing device that provides a structurally simple way greater flexibility in the fulfillment of user wishes of the closing.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The object is solved by the features specified in claim 1.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung werden die Vorteile der Getriebeglieder in Hinblick auf eine einfache Konstruktion und eine funktionssichere, robuste Ausgestaltung beibehalten, die Flexibilität jedoch durch einen eigenen Antrieb des ersten der Getriebeglieder erhöht. Durch den Antrieb kann die Geschwindigkeit an den speziell verwendeten Schraubverschluss und das Drehmoment auf das Material von Schraubverschluss und Behälter angepasst werden, außerdem sind ohne weiteres Drehbewegungen in beiden Richtungen möglich.Due to the inventive design, the advantages of the transmission elements with respect to a simple construction and a functionally reliable, robust design are maintained, but increases the flexibility by a separate drive of the first of the transmission links. The drive can be used to adjust the speed to the particular screw cap used and the torque to the material of the screw cap and container, as well as rotational movements in both directions are easily possible.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.
Als Antrieb besonders geeignet ist ein Torque-Motor wegen seiner einfachen und robusten Ausgestaltung und der guten Steuerungsmöglichkeit, der bevorzugt in Hohlwellenausführung und mit Außenläufer eingesetzt wird. Torque-Motoren sind relativ kompakt, so dass ihr Läufer einen geringeren Außendurchmesser aufweisen kann, als der Teilkreis der Halterungen der Behälter in der Verschließeinrichtung und somit eine kompakte Ausbildung gestattet.Particularly suitable as a drive is a torque motor because of its simple and robust design and the good control option, which is preferably used in hollow shaft design and with external rotor. Torque motors are relatively compact, so that their runner may have a smaller outer diameter than the pitch circle of the holders of the container in the closing device and thus allows a compact design.
Der Antrieb, insbesondere bei Verwendung eines Hohlwellen-Motors, kann problemlos auf der rotierenden Säule sitzen, die als Antrieb für die Transporteinrichtung wirkt. Der Torque-Motor bewegt sich somit zusammen mit der Säule und unabhängig davon, so dass auf einfache Weise Änderungen der Transportgeschwindigkeit in die Antriebsgeschwindigkeit der Verschließeinrichtung einbezogen werden können.The drive, especially when using a hollow shaft motor, can easily sit on the rotating column, which acts as a drive for the transport device. The torque motor thus moves together with the column and independently, so that in a simple way changes in the transport speed can be included in the drive speed of the closing device.
Als Getriebeglieder können die bewährten Zahnräder eingesetzt werden, Reibräder oder dgl. sind jedoch ebenfalls möglich.As gear members, the proven gears can be used, friction wheels or the like. However, are also possible.
Durch die Beibehaltung der Getriebeglieder ist es auch möglich, trotz separatem Antrieb, alle Verschließeinheiten einer Verschließeinrichtung mit einem einzigen separaten Antrieb anzutreiben.By maintaining the gear members, it is also possible, despite a separate drive, to drive all closing units of a closing device with a single separate drive.
Zum Ausgleich der Linearbewegungen entlang der Behältermittellinie ist eines der Getriebeglieder verlängert, so dass der Eingriff über die gesamte Länge der Linearbewegung aufrecht erhalten bleibt.To compensate for the linear movements along the container centerline, one of the gear members is extended so that the engagement is maintained throughout the length of the linear motion.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit, die Flexibilität beim Berücksichtigen von Benutzerwünschen zu erhöhen, die gemeinsam oder unabhängig vom separaten, unabhängigen Antrieb vorgesehen sein kann, ist die Ausgestaltung der Verschließeinheit in modularer Art und Weise, wobei die verschiedenen Funktionen in jeweils eine Baugruppe zusammengefasst sind, so dass beispielsweise verschiedene Dreh-Baugruppen mit der gleichen Hub-Baugruppe oder verschiedene Hub-Baugruppen mit der gleichen Dreh-Baugruppe zusammenpassen und je nach der beim Benutzer zu handhabenden Art der Behälter ausgetauscht werden können.Another way to increase the flexibility in accommodating user wishes, which may be provided together or independently of the separate, independent drive, is the design of the closure unit in a modular manner, wherein the various functions are combined into one assembly, so that for example Matching different rotary assemblies with the same lift assembly or different lift assemblies with the same rotary assembly and can be replaced depending on the type of container to be handled by the user.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann die Verschließeinheit auch einen auswechselbaren Verschließkopf aufweisen, der an unterschiedliche Verschlusskonstruktionen angepasst ist.Additionally or alternatively, the closing unit can also have a replaceable closing head, which is adapted to different closure constructions.
Die Verschließeinheiten können für jede Art eines Behälters beziehungsweise eines Verschlusses bereit gehalten und, gegebenenfalls auch zum Nachrüsten bereits in Betrieb befindlicher Verschließeinrichtungen bereit gestellt werden.The closing units can be kept ready for any type of container or closure and, if appropriate, also provided for retrofitting already in operation closing devices.

Oberhalb der zentralen Säule 2 ist eine ortsfeste Kopfplatte 7 vorgesehen, an der an einem nach unten vorstehenden Flansch 8 eine Hubkurve 9 angeordnet ist, in die in bekannter Weise eine Laufrolle 10 eingreift, die an der Verschließeinheit 6 drehbar gelagert ist. Mit der Laufrolle 10 ist ein Hubzylinder 11 verbunden, der in einer Führungshülse 12 in senkrechter Richtung, d.h. in Richtung der ausgerichteten Mittellinien 11' des Hubzylinders 11 und der Mittellinie 13' eines Behälter 13 (
Statt durch die Hubkurve 9, kann der Hub auch elektromotorisch oder pneumatisch erfolgenInstead of the
An der der Laufrolle 10 abgewandten, unteren Ebene des Hubzylinders 11 ist eine Dreh-Baugruppe 15 um die Mittelachse 11' des Hubzylinders 11 drehbar befestigt. Die Befestigung erfolgt derart, dass die beiden Baugruppen 14 und 15 austauschbar aneinander befestigt sind.At the
Die Dreh-Baugruppe 15 enthält einen hülsenförmigen Träger 16, der an dem dem Hubzylinder 11 abgewandten, unteren Ende entweder einen fest angeordneten Verschließkopf oder eine Kupplung aufweist, die in der Lage ist, verschiedene Verschließkopftypen auswechselbar aufzunehmen.The
Der Antrieb der Dreh-Baugruppen 15 aller Verschließeinheiten 6 erfolgt über einen separaten Antrieb 17, der unabhängig ist vom (nicht gezeigten) Antrieb der Zentralsäule. Bevorzugt erfolgt der Antrieb über einen Hohlwellenmotor, insbesondere einen sogenannten Torque-Motor in Hohlwellenausführung, der ohne Verbindung mit der Hubkurve 9, mit seinem hohlen Stator 17a auf der Drehhülse 4 der Zentralsäule 2 sitzt und sich mit dieser um die Mittellinie 4' dreht, und einen Außenläufer 17b, der an seiner Außenseite mit einem ersten Getriebeglied 18 in Form eines Zahnrades, eines Ritzels oder eines Zahnkranzes versehen ist, das sich koaxial um die Mittellinie 4' der Drehhülse 4 erstreckt. Motor und Lagerung bilden dabei eine Einheit.The drive of the
Dieses erste Getriebeglied 18 des Antriebs 17 treibt über ein zweites Getriebeglied 19 die Dreh-Baugruppe 15 in der gewünschten Drehrichtung separat und unabhängig vom Antrieb der Drehhülse 4 der Zentralsäule 2 an. Das zweite Getriebeglied 19 ist ebenfalls ein Zahnrad, weist jedoch eine axiale Länge in Richtung der Mittellinie 11' auf, die größer ist als die axiale Länge des ersten Getriebegliedes 18 und mindestens so groß ist wie der durch die Hubkurve 4 bewirkte Hubweg des Hubzylinders 11, so dass in jedem Stadium der Hubbewegung der Antrieb 17 auf die Dreh-Baugruppe 15 einwirkt. Das zweite Getriebeglied 19 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an der Außenseite der Hülse 16 befestigtThis
Die Steuerung des Antriebs 17 und seine Stromversorgung erfolgt über Kabel, die bevorzugt im inneren der Zentralsäule 2 verlaufen, und z.B. einen Schleifringüberträger, oder berührungslos.The control of the
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung kann somit das Aufschrauben von Schraubverschlüssen jeder Art in beiden Richtungen und exakt gesteuert mit einem vorgegebenen Drehmoment erfolgen, so dass die Behälter gut verschlossen werden, ohne dass die Gefahr von Beschädigungen besteht.With the embodiment according to the invention can thus be done screwing screw caps of any kind in both directions and precisely controlled with a predetermined torque, so that the container are well closed, without the risk of damage.
Durch die modulare Ausgestaltung kann die erfindungsgemäße Verschließeinrichtung auf konstruktiv einfache Weise an bestimmte Benutzeranforderungen, sei es bereits bei der Herstellung, sei es für eine Nachrüstung, angepasst werden.Due to the modular design, the closing device according to the invention can be adapted in a structurally simple manner to certain user requirements, be it already during manufacture, be it for retrofitting.
Es kann weiterhin ein Wegemesssystem vorgesehen sein, das den Grad des Aufschraubens der Verschlüsse auf den Behältern nachverfolgt und den Antrieb 17 entsprechend steuert. Das Wegemesssystem kann die Drehzahl des Verschließkopfes erfassen und gegebenenfalls regeln, wozu z. B. ein Drehwertgeber zwischen Läufer und Stator angeordnet ist. Es ist aber auch möglich, im Bereich des Getriebeglieds 19 die Drehzahl des Verschließkopfes zu erfassen.It can also be provided a Wegemesssystem that tracks the degree of screwing the closures on the containers and controls the
Die
In Abwandlung des beschriebenen und gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispiels kann die Verschließeinheit auch mit Kopfantrieb ausgebildet sein, bevorzugt dann, wenn der modulare beziehungsweise Baugruppen-Aufbau nicht notwendig ist. Dabei befindet sich auch der Dreh- bzw. Schraubantrieb oberhalb der Halterung für die Behälter. Der Torque-Motor kann auf einfache Weise gekapselt, d. h. in einem Schutzgehäuse untergebracht werden, das nur den Zahnkranz freilässt, so dass die Reinigung stark erleichtert wird. Statt des Torque-Motors können andere Motoren bevorzugt mit Hohlwelle eingesetzt werden. Schließlich müssen die beiden Getriebeglieder nicht unbedingt direkt miteinander in Eingriff stehen, Zwischenglieder können ebenfalls vorgesehen sein. Der beschriebene Antrieb kann auch bei Verschließeinheiten ohne Baugruppenunterteilung, und die Baugruppenbausteine auch ohne separaten Antrieb vorgesehen werden.In a modification of the described and illustrated embodiment, the closing unit can also be designed with a head drive, preferably when the modular or assembly structure is not necessary. This is also the rotary or screw drive above the holder for the container. The torque motor can be easily encapsulated, d. H. be housed in a protective housing that leaves only the sprocket so that the cleaning is greatly facilitated. Instead of the torque motor, other motors can preferably be used with a hollow shaft. Finally, the two gear members do not necessarily directly engage with each other, intermediate links may also be provided. The described drive can also be provided without a separate drive in Verschließeinheiten without module division, and the module blocks.
