Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for closing containers with closure or screw caps which has an ejector which has an active element which returns an ejection element from an ejection position to an initial position.
- DE 202 18 523 U1 discloses a device for closing containers, namely bottles with closure or screw caps, eg with internal thread, so that the screw caps can be screwed onto the bottle.
- a device for closing containers namely bottles with closure or screw caps, eg with internal thread, so that the screw caps can be screwed onto the bottle.
- To close the upright bottles are handed over by a conveyor via a bottle inlet of the device forming inlet star in each case successively to one of the closing positions.
- the sealed containers or bottles are taken from the closing positions via an outlet star and removed via a feed dog.
- each container or each bottle and thus each bottle holder performs with rotating rotor from a controlled vertical lifting movement so that each screw head received at a transfer position in each case a screw cap, then the mouth of the bottle is moved against the screw cap, and there by turning a Spindle is screwed around the spindle axis and tightened with a predetermined torque.
- the transfer position is provided in the direction of rotation of the rotor between the outlet star and the inlet star.
- the screwing or closing caps are fed to the transfer position via a feed from a magazine in the required orientation and in a preferably single-row row next to one another.
- the invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve a device for closing containers with closure or screw caps, in particular their ejector with simple means so that the ejection element from its Austossposition in its initial position while avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages can be retrieved.
- the object is achieved by a device for closing containers with closure or screw caps with the features of claim 1, wherein the active element is designed as a magnetic element.
- the active element has a permanent magnet, which is arranged in a housing relatively movable thereto, wherein at least one arranged in the axial direction arranged wall portion of the housing is magnetizable.
- the active element is formed from the permanent magnet in cooperation with the magnetizable wall portion of the housing. It is essential that while avoiding a mechanically acting active element to retrieve the ejection element act in its initial position magnetic forces.
- the permanent magnet is designed as a diametrically magnetized bar magnet, so run as seen in cross-section round bar magnet whose magnetization passes through the diameter, with the north and south poles are opposite to half shells.
- the active element or its permanent magnet is arranged in a sleeve which has at its two ends, ie on its head side and its opposite foot side a closure element, for example in the embodiment as a cap.
- the closure elements can be connected to the connection to the sleeve to this cohesively.
- Conceivable is an adhesive connection or a welded joint.
- the sleeve and the caps may be formed of a plastic, and completely enclose the permanent magnet so that the permanent magnet is completely hermetically sealed from the environment when completely enclosed.
- the permanent magnet can be introduced with its head-side end or with its head-side cap in the housing.
- the housing is open at the foot.
- the housing in a favorable embodiment has a threaded portion for connection to a capper head.
- At the threaded portion of the magnetizable wall portion of the housing connects, which merges into a head part.
- the housing has a through-hole, which has a guide portion, a guide portion and an actuating portion.
- the guide section extends from the foot-side opening in the direction of the head part and merges into the guide section, which has a reduced clear diameter with respect to the guide section.
- the actuating section adjoins the guide section, which is initially connected to a A conically tapered transition region is converted into a cylindrically executed region.
- a plunger In the cylindrical portion engages a plunger, which is in communication with a force introduction element, which is guided in a slotted guide on the head side of the housing.
- a force introduction element For example, an ejector control rod acts in a known manner on the force introduction element. It is useful if the plunger is adapted with its outer diameter to the head side arranged cylindrical portion of the through hole, wherein the outer diameter may be dimensioned slightly smaller than the clear diameter of the cylindrical portion.
- the permanent magnet is received in the housing so that it protrudes in its initial position on the foot side of the housing, and the head side engages slightly in the guide portion.
- the permanent magnet covered by the sleeve is designed with a smaller outside diameter than the respective clear diameter of both the guide section and the guide section.
- the Austosselement is connected to the foot-side cap of the permanent magnet in conjunction, in which a favorable manner a receiving bore for receiving a corresponding receiving portion of the ejection element is arranged.
- the plunger causes a longitudinal movement of the permanent magnet received in the sleeve relative to the housing preferably relative to the guide portion, and at the same time relative to the magnetizable wall portion of the housing and is thereby partially moved out of the housing.
- the permanent magnet is moved out with its head end from the guide section.
- An axial displacement, ie the transfer from the initial position in the direction of or to the ejection position of the ejection element, is preferably adapted to a screw or cap height.
- the magnetizable wall section in this case advantageously extends from the head part in the direction of the threaded section or up to the threaded section and comprises the guide section, as well as a subregion of the guide section of the throughbore.
- the magnetizable wall portion of a magnet preferably of a magnetizable material, more preferably of a magnetizable stainless steel, e.g. with the material number 1 .41 12 is formed.
- Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section of the head side of the ejector
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged section of the X-region of Figure 1 a, and Figure 4 shows a cross section through the ejector along the line Y.
- FIG. 1 a In the different figures, the same parts are always provided with the same reference numerals, which is why they are usually described only once.
- Figure 1 shows an ejector 1 of a device, not shown, for closing containers with closure or screw caps.
- Such devices are known for example from DE 202 18 523 U1, which will not be discussed further here as well as on feeds of closure or screw caps.
- the ejector 1 has an active element 2, which returns an ejection element 3 from an ejection position 4 in an initial position, not shown.
- the active element 2 is advantageously designed as a magnetic (active) element 2, and has a permanent magnet 5 and a magnetizable wall section 6 of a housing 7.
- the housing 7 has a foot 8 and a head side 9 opposite thereto.
- a threaded section 10 extends in the direction of the head side 9 from the foot 8 side.
- the magnetizable wall section 6 adjoins the threaded section 10 and is adjoined by a head section 11.
- a groove 12 is arranged between the threaded portion 10 and the magnetizable wall portion 6. Both sections 10 and 6 have, for example, approximately the same axial extension or length. Between the magnetizable wall portion 6 and the head part 1 1, a step 13 is arranged by way of example.
- a foot-side through-hole 14 is arranged, which hineinerstreckt from the foot 8 in the head part 1 1.
- the through hole 14 is staged with a guide portion 15, a guide portion 16 and an actuating portion 17 executed, as Figure 1 a can be seen.
- the guide portion 15 extends from the foot 8 through the threaded portion 10 in the magnetizable wall portion 6 into and ends seen in the longitudinal direction slightly in front of the head part 1 first Adjoining the guide section 15 is the guide section 16, which has a reduced clear diameter relative to the guide section 15, so that a step is formed in the transition from the guide section 5 to the guide section 16 (FIG. 2).
- the guide portion 16 has, based on the guide portion 15 has a smaller axial length, which is of course only to be exemplary.
- the guide section 16 extends by way of example only through the magnetizable wall section 6 ends at the transition to the head part 1 1 ( Figure 2).
- the actuating portion 17 extends through the head part 1 1 and has two areas 18 and 19.
- a transition region 18 adjoins the guide section 16 and is conically tapered. At the transition region 18, a cylindrical region 19 connects.
- the permanent magnet 5 is exemplified as a diametrically magnetized bar magnet.
- the two poles are marked in Figures 1 a and 4 with N and S.
- the permanent magnet 5 is encompassed by a sleeve 20, on which closure elements 21 and 22 in the exemplary embodiment as the foot cap 21 and as the head cap 22 are arranged on both the head side and the foot side.
- the sleeve 20 and the caps 21 and 22 may be made of a plastic, and are connected together.
- a cohesive connection in the embodiment can be selected as an adhesive or welded connection.
- the plastic coating of the permanent magnet 5 may e.g. have a corrosion-inhibiting function.
- the permanent magnet 5 with the sleeve 20 comprising the latter is accommodated in this housing in a relatively movable manner relative to the housing 7.
- FIG. 4 shows an annular gap 23 between the outer circumference of the casing 20 with the permanent magnet 5 arranged therein and the magnetizable wall section 6 along the line Y, that is to say in the region of the guide section 15.
- a plunger (not shown) is in contact with the head-side cap 22.
- the plunger is connected to a force introduction element, not shown, on which an ejector control rod, not shown, acts.
- the plunger extends through the actuating portion 17 in the direction of the head-side cap 22.
- the head-side cap 22 can be regarded as a kind of buffer element, which avoids direct contact of plunger and permanent magnet 5.
- the head-side cap 22 can also be considered as a guide element within the guide portion 16.
- an axial guide slot 24 is arranged, which guides the force introduction element in the longitudinal direction of the housing 7. Due to the selected view, only a lower portion of the guide slot 24 can be seen, wherein an upper portion is not shown.
- a further guide slot is provided, which is also fully closed.
- the force introduction element and the plunger arranged thereon are thus positively guided on the housing 7 on diametrically opposite guide slots.
- the Austosselement 3 is arranged, which can be referred to as Austossfinger.
- the Austosselement 3 is held by way of example in an arranged in the foot-side cap 21 receiving bore 25 with a receiving portion 26 adapted thereto positionally secure. It is conceivable to arrange a thread on the receiving region 26 in order to produce a screw connection, it being possible for an abutment flange to be arranged on the receiving region, which can abut against an end face of the cap 21.
- the Austosselement 3 acts on the unused or stuck closure or screw cap so that it pushed out of the capper head, i. Will get removed.
- the permanent magnet 5 is received in the housing 7 and movable relative to this or movable.
