- the invention relates to a machine which automati- cally fills tubular bottles with wine, as well as the fitting and crimping of a capsule on closing the top opening of these bottles once they have been filled.
- Such bottles are made of glass, they have a generally tubular shape comprising around their mouth a thread.
- the metal cap crimped around their threaded mouth constitutes a screw cap.
- the packaging requires filling the bottles of wine, to ensure that the unfilled volume of wine is filled with inert gas, to apply on the end of each bottle a capsule without removing the inert gas, and crimp this capsule.
- the invention thus relates to a wine packaging machine in tubular flasks sufficiently compact to be transportable in a van-type vehicle.
- the invention relates to a machine for filling and crimping tubular bottles, comprising a carousel for moving each tubular bottle sequentially from one fixed station to another in order to successively fill it, to cap a capsule on its mouth and crimp this capsule, this carousel comprising through vertical holes constituting housings in which the tubular flasks are engaged vertically, the machine comprising a fixed ramp located under the carousel, each tubular flask placed in a housing having its lower end resting on this ramp, and wherein this ramp has a crown portion shape so that each crimped bottle is removed from the carousel automatically by gravity effect as soon as it is moved beyond a so-called output end of this ramp .
- the treated bottles are extracted vertically from the carousel, which reduces the size of the machine, and this extraction does not require any additional mechanism, which significantly simplifies the machine.
- the invention also relates to a machine as defined above, wherein the ramp comprises a horizontal portion followed by a portion inclined relative to the horizontal to cause a partial descent of the tubular flasks before evacuation.
- the invention also relates to a machine as defined above, further comprising a curved guide rail having a vertical end connected to the lower end of the inclined portion of the ramp and the other end opens horizontally in a station fixed output.
- the invention also relates to a machine as defined above, wherein the curved guide rail extends in a plane perpendicular to the conveying direction of the tubular flasks.
- the invention also relates to a machine as defined above, comprising a fixed member for loading tubular bottles into the housing of the conveyor, this loading member comprising a hole for engaging the tubular bottles directly above the holes of the conveyor , and a stem having its upper end located vertically above this hole, the upper end of the stem being separated from the hole by a distance greater than the length of the tubular bottles, and wherein this upper end bears a pin or finger whose lower end is separated from the hole by a distance less than the length of the tubular flasks.
- the invention also relates to a machine as defined above, comprising a filling station, a station for conveying and encapsulating capsules at the upper end of the tubular flasks, and a station for crimping these capsules, spaced apart. each other along the conveyor, as well as a fixed inerting enclosure surrounding a portion of the conveyor at the level of the capping station.
- the invention also relates to a machine as defined above, wherein the filling station comprises means for releasing towards the tube a jet of the filling product which is surrounded by a sheath of inert gas, and wherein fixed inerting chamber has an inlet end of the tubular flasks which adjoins the filling station.
- the invention also relates to a machine as defined above, in which the capping station comprises, in the inerting chamber fixed means for blowing an inert gas to inert each capsule before capping on a bottle.

- Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the vial loading member equipping the introduction station shown alone;
- Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the loading station of the tubular vials during the engagement of a vial
- Figure 5 is a sectional side view of the capsule encapsulation station in the machine according to the invention.
- Figure 6 is a top view showing the inerting corridor and the carousel of the machine according to the invention.
- Figure 7 is a side view showing the descent of the tubular vials at the inclined portion of the ramp in the machine according to January 1st invention
- Figure 8 is a top view of the machine according to the invention showing the carousel and the guide rail and the fixed output station.
- the machine according to the invention which is generally indicated by 1 in FIG. 1, comprises a frame 2 including a supporting structure 3 consisting of assembled beams delimiting a parallelepipedal enclosure carrying in its internal space a horizontal support plate marked by 4.
- This support plate 4 carries on the one hand a movable conveying member which is here a carousel 7, and on the other hand a set of actuators and equipment generally marked by 6, which are intended to ensure the filling of the bottles, and the installation and crimping of a capsule on the filled bottles.
- the carousel 7 which is rotatable about a vertical axis comprises a circular ring 8 including a series of housings 9 in the form of holes vertically traversing the ring, being regularly spaced from each other.
- Each hole 9 has an internal diameter slightly greater than the external diameter of the tubular flasks to be filled, so as to form a housing inside which such a bottle can be introduced.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown such a bottle, indicated by 11, engaged in one of the housings 9 of the carousel 7.
- the height of the crown 8 is less than the length of the tubular flasks 11 to be filled.
- the height of the crown is about fifteen centimeters, while the total length of the tubular flasks 11 is twenty centimeters.
- the support plate 4 carries a ramp 12 having a generally crown shape which is located under the carousel 7, facing the housings 9.
- a tubular bottle 11 engaged in a housing 9 has its lower end bears on this ramp 12, and this lower end slides on the surface of this ramp when the carousel rotates.
- this ramp 12 comprises a so-called horizontal portion, marked by 13, which runs along the lower face of the ring 8 about five eighths of its circumference, and a so-called inclined portion, marked by 14, which extends the horizontal portion extending about one-eighth of a turn being also located opposite housing 9 of the crown 8.
- the inclined portion 14 of the ramp 12 opens into an upper end of an exit rail marked by 16.
- the upper end of the rail 16 is oriented vertically, and its lower end is oriented horizontally to open into an outlet station 17 receiving vials filled and crimped.
- this output rail 16 has a generally curved shape describing a quarter circle, it extends in a radial plane relative to the axis of rotation of the carousel, and it has a U-shaped section.
- the flasks 11 to be filled and crimped are loaded one after the other in the housings 9 of the crown 8, by an operator located at a fixed loading station 18 which is located substantially outside the door. enclosure delimited by the parallelepipedic carrier structure 3.
- the carousel 8 is offset so that a portion of its ring 9 laterally exceeds the parallelepipedal space defined by the carrier structure 3.
- the loading station 18 is located above the crown portion protruding laterally, which allows an ergonomic layout of the operator's station, notably ensuring that the operator does not have access to the internal components of the machine.
- the carrier structure 3 is partially shown and without cladding, but in practice, it is dressed by a sheet assembly to form a roughly closed space of which only the loading station 18 and the post output 17 are accessible from the outside.
- an operator installed at the station 18 engages a new bottle to be filled in a housing 9 of the carousel 7 at each rotation step of this carousel, the latter being controlled in rotation in a sequential manner, that is to say step-by-step.
- Each bottle carried by carousel 7 then goes to a station 19 for cleaning and filling wine.
- the flask then leaves the inerting corridor 21 to be presented at a crimping station 23, where a crimping head surrounds the capsule to crimp it around the upper end externally threaded of the flask.
- the carousel When the crimping operation has been performed, the carousel continues to turn stepwise to route the treated bottle to the rail 16 for evacuation to the outlet station 17, which corresponds to the end of the conditioning operation.
- the station 18 for loading the tubular bottles into the carousel 7 comprises a loading member indicated by 24, which is carried by a frame, not shown, so as to be situated above the part carousel 7 protruding laterally from the parallelepipedal structure 3.
- this loading member 24 comprises a plate 26 by which it is rigidly secured to its support frame, this plate 26 carrying on its upper face a base 27, as well as a bracket 28 extending vertically towards the top relative to the base 28.
- the plate 26 carries on its underside a guide tube 29 facing downwards.
- the base 27 and the plate 26 are pierced with a vertical through hole 25, of diameter substantially greater than that of the tubular flasks to be loaded, and opening into the guide tube 29, the assembly overhanging the path of passage of housings 9 of the rotary carousel 7.
- the loading of a tubular bottle 11 thus consists in engaging it in the hole 25 to lower it into the housing 9 located directly above this hole.
- the lower ramp 12 comprises, directly above the loading station 18, a damper member or platen, indicated by 31, and damping the shock of the bottle 11 at the end of the descent, so that it does not break.
- the loading member 24 is also a polarizer ensuring that a bottle can not be loaded into the carousel 7 with its opening downwards.
- the upper end of the bracket 28 is spaced from the upper face 32 of the base 27 by a distance substantially greater than the length of the tubular flasks to be filled, and this upper end carries a finger or pin 33 located vertically above the vertical hole 25 and extending downwards.
- the distance separating the lower end of the finger 33 and the upper face 32 of the base 27 is slightly greater than the length of the tubular flasks to be filled. Under these conditions, the only possibility to engage a tubular bottle 11 in the vertical hole of the base 27 is to engage the mouth of this tubular bottle around the finger 33, to be able to place the lower end of this bottle over the hole 25.
- the cleaning and filling station 19 comprises two downwardly directed nozzles being located plumb with respectively two consecutive housings 9 when the carousel 7 is stationary.
- the first nozzle blows air to clean the interior of the bottle, and the second nozzle fills the bottle of wine by jointly releasing a jet of wine and a flow of inert gas such as nitrogen forming a sheath around it. wine spray.
- This nitrogen sheath limits the oxidation of the wine during filling, and ensures that the upper portion of the vial that is not filled with wine is filled essentially with nitrogen at the end of filling.
- each tubular bottle The crimping of a capsule on the upper opening of each tubular bottle is ensured in two successive operations: at station 22, a capsule is conveyed and capped on the upper opening, and at station 23, a crimping head crimps the capsule around the top opening.
- the encapsulation of the capsule is performed in the inert enclosure 21, which has a general shape of an arcuate corridor surrounding a portion of the ring 8, about a quarter of a turn.
- This corridor 21 comprises at its entrance and exit, two swinging doors which open when an upper end of the bottle comes support them during the movement of the carousel, and close after passage of this bottle.
- This corridor 21 is overpressurized with inert gas such as nitrogen, so as to maintain an oxygen level as low as possible, nitrogen being continuously blown into this corridor.
- inert gas such as nitrogen
- the station 22 comprises a chute 34 for conveying the capsules located above the passage 21 and opening therein by its upper face, at a capping zone marked by 36. Between each movement of a step of the carousel, a capsule, not shown, is automatically conveyed in the chute, to the capping zone 36 which corresponds substantially to the lower end of the chute 34.
- the capsule then stops at the lower end of the chute 34, at the same time as a jet of nitrogen is applied to it to inerter, by means of one or more nitrogen blowing nozzles located in the encapsulation area 36.
- each capsule is immobilized with its opening pointing downwards, and having the lowest point of its circular lower edge located substantially at below the upper edge of the tubular flasks.
- the crimping head When the encapsulated tubular bottle reaches the crimping station 23, after having left the hall Inert 21, the crimping head surrounds the upper end of the vial with the capsule that carries, and crimped the cylindrical wall portion of this capsule around the threaded upper end of the tubular flab.
- the flasks Once the flasks have been filled with wine and crimped, at stations 19, 22, and 23, they are evacuated to the outlet station 17.
- the ramp portion 14 which is located in the vicinity of the station 17 allows tubular flasks to gradually descend housing 9 they occupy in the carousel 7, as shown schematically in Figure 7.
- the highest end of the oblique portion 14 of the ramp 12 is located at the same height as the horizontal portion 13 of this ramp 12, that is to say about one centimeter below the underside 33
- the lower end of this oblique portion 14, which corresponds to the exit end of the ramp 12, is spaced from the lower face 33 a distance of substantially half the length of tubular flasks 11.
- the lower end of the oblique portion 14 of the ramp 12 opens at the upper end of the guide rail 16.
- a tubular bottle 11 moved by the carousel 7 reaches the lower end of the oblique portion 14, it engages in the curved rail 16 is already at least half of its housing 9, without having acquired vertical speed.
- the lower end of the oblique portion 14 is separated from the underside of the crown 8 by a distance of approximately almost half the length of the tubular bottle. But other values can be adopted, as they reduce the vertical velocity of the bottle during its evacuation by limiting the vertical movement necessary to its complete release of the housing it occupies.
- the flasks are evacuated vertically of the carousel, which makes it possible to reduce significantly the lateral bulk of the machine while ensuring a evacuation of the flasks without additional mobile mechanism.
- the inclination of the ramp at its outlet end limits the rate of fall of the bottles during their evacuation.
