Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container treatment module which can be used in container treatment machines, such as labeling machines or filling machines.
  • rotary machines which have a turntable, are mounted on the turntable, which can be driven either centrally by a motor or separately via a servo motor, such as in the DE 10 2004 026 755 A1 is described.
  • rotary machines have a superstructure on which may be provided centering devices that can center containers to be treated on the turntable.
  • a turntable together with the necessary control electronics and drives in the form of a kit which is dimensioned for different sizes of machines, in particular carousel sizes and diameters.
  • a labeling machine which has a plurality of treatment modules according to the preamble of claim 1. These include a stand plate and a centering device for clamping a container to be labeled. They can be rotatably mounted about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the carousel.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide flexible and quickly modifiable container handling machines, which also allow quick replacement of defective components.
  • the container treatment module which is intended for use in a container treatment machine, comprises a frame on which a base plate, for example a turntable to which a motor can be assigned, and a center rgerer observed, which can center a container on the stand plate, are arranged, and wherein this container treatment module comprises at least one means for attachment to the container treatment machine and / or another container treatment module.
  • a container treatment machine can be easily equipped with any number of container treatment stations and this number also at any time by removing or adding further container treatment modules to be changed.
  • the design of the container treatment modules with means for attachment to the container treatment machine or other container treatment modules allows easy replacement of possibly defective base plates or motors or centering devices of a particular container treatment module without having to rebuild the complete container treatment machine.
  • the means for attachment to the frame of the container treatment module can be arranged.
  • the container treatment module may be configured to form a complete container treatment station. This includes in particular the provision of appropriate electronics and all necessary components that must be included in a container treatment station, so that only a connection of the container treatment module with any lines and electronic connections for data transmission and power transmission from the container handling machine or a corresponding control unit is necessary, the container treatment module is fully functional in itself.
  • the container treatment module can be attached to a container treatment machine at least at one of a carousel table, a central axis or a superstructure.
  • a container treatment machine at least at one of a carousel table, a central axis or a superstructure.
  • the centering device may be associated with a motor.
  • the functionality of the container treatment module is completed and the provision of external motors, which would have to be adjusted depending on the desired number of container treatment modules, is preferably superfluous.
  • a local control unit for controlling the centering device and / or the stand plate and / or the motors associated therewith can be provided in the container treatment module.
  • a container treatment module may comprise at least one sensor for detecting operating parameters of the container treatment module. So can for a container treatment module specific operating parameters, such as the position of the turntable or the transmitted from the centering device via a container to be treated on the turntable transmitted power or the speed of the proposed engines are determined.
  • the frame has fixed predetermined unchangeable dimensions.
  • the container treatment module has at least one adjustable dimension.
  • the container treatment module to certain desired process parameters and embedding in existing processes is possible. For example, by adjusting such a dimension, the distance to a transfer device of containers to be filled can be varied.
  • the adjustment of the at least one dimension can be carried out via components which are movable relative to one another in this direction, wherein either a motor which is suitable for moving the movable components is preferably arranged on the container treatment module or the movable components are connected to one another via threads or other manually adjustable members, which are adapted to adjust the relative position of the movable components to each other.
  • the container treatment module is characterized in that it can be assembled with other similar container treatment modules into groups of at least 10, 25 or 50 or more. By assembling such groups, it can be achieved that the construction is sturdy enough to dispense with additional carousel tables or the like, whereby a container handling machine comprising a plurality of container treatment modules becomes even more flexible.
  • the group of container treatment modules can be assembled in the form of a ring.
  • the group of container treatment modules may take over and at least partially replace the function of the supporting parts that would otherwise be used in a container treatment machine, such as carousels, central axles or superstructures.
  • a container treatment machine may be constructed comprising at least one, preferably at least 10, 25, or 50 or more corresponding container treatment modules.
  • Fig. 1 shows one of the prior art, for example the DE 10 2004 026 755 A1 known container treatment machine, which may be suitable for example for labeling or filling of containers.
  • This usually comprises a turntable 50, on which a plurality of container treatment stations in the form of turntables 51 are arranged. These can be assigned to individual motors or control via a central engine.
  • a corresponding container treatment machine in the form of a carousel can have a superstructure 40, on which in turn centering devices or holders 41 can be arranged, which can provide stabilization of a container to be treated or can also perform other tasks, such as filling.
  • Turntable 50 and superstructure 40 are usually connected to each other via an axis V, so that their positions remain constant relative to each other.
  • the turntable 51 and the centering devices 41 are fixedly arranged on the turntable 50 and the superstructure 40 and movable only in accordance with the necessary movement sequences against them, for example by rotation of the turntable.
  • An exchange of individual components is provided so far only insofar as that, for example, the entire turntable can be exchanged with the associated turntables, as in the DE 10 2008 038 146 A1 proposed.
  • Fig. 2 1 shows a container treatment machine 110 comprising container treatment modules 100 according to the invention. While the container handling machine 110 may further include a turntable 112 and a superstructure 114 and an axle 113 that perform supporting functions, the container treatment modules 100 preferably include all of the components essential to container handling. For this purpose, a frame 101 is provided for each container treatment module 100, which on the one hand can be connected to a part of the container treatment machine 110, such as, for example, the central axis 113, and on which the devices necessary for container treatment are simultaneously provided.
  • this frame 101 of the container treatment module 100 comprises, in particular, depending on the field of application, by way of example a labeling machine, a centering device 104 and a base plate 102, on which the container 111 to be treated can be positioned and centered by the centering device 104.
  • a motor 103 may be attached to the frame 101 and associated with the turntable 102 so that the turntable 102 can be moved via the motor 103.
  • This engine may be a commonly used engine here. For example, the use of a servomotor may be convenient.
  • a further motor 106 may be provided which is associated with this centering device 104 and connected thereto.
  • other devices such as blow molds or filling tubes for filling the container 111 may be provided on the frame.
  • a local control unit 107 which, for example, is likewise provided on the frame 101 or incorporated therein, and which is suitable for controlling the individual devices.
  • the modular design of the container treatment modules 100 allows for an uncomplicated manner by providing all components relevant to the treatment of the containers 111 to the frame 101 of the container treatment module 100 Installation and removal of the container treatment modules 100 in a container treatment machine 110 and simultaneously allows a flexible combination of different numbers of container treatment modules 100 in a container treatment machine 110. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the container treatment module 100 can be adjusted during production so that it after connection to the necessary Lines already fully functional, ie in particular is adjusted. Thus, considerable time is saved in the installation of the container treatment module 100, since, for example, turntable and centering device do not first have to be coordinated with one another.
  • Fig. 3a-d show ways of attaching a container treatment module 100 via means for attachment 205 to parts of a treatment machine, such as in Fig. 2 is shown.
  • a container treatment module which is shown here only schematically over the frame 101, attached by means of connections 205 on the vertical axis 113 of a container treatment machine.
  • These connections may be, for example, plug-in connections, but also screw connections, so that the frame 101 of the container treatment module can be fixedly located on the vertical axis 113. Since the components of the container treatment module, as in Fig. 2 described, are already correctly matched, this attachment requires no further elaborate adjustment of these parts to each other, which is why simple means of attachment can be used.
  • a type of plug-in principle is additionally or solely used for fastening the frame 101, as shown in FIG Fig. 3b is shown.
  • 113 recesses may be provided in the central axis, in which the frame 101 can be fitted very accurately, whereby an exact positioning is possible.
  • An attachment of the frame in such a recess can be ensured, for example via bolts that connect the frame with the central axis 113.
  • click connections can be advantageous, provided they endure the stresses during operation of the container handling machine.
  • a recess in the central axis 113 of the container treatment machine is provided here, a corresponding indentation or bulge can also be provided on the frame 101 of the container treatment module.
  • a corresponding means for fastening 205 of the frame 101 may also be provided on the turntable or superstructure 112 or 114.
  • maximum strength and stiffening of the frame 101 is ensured, whereby misalignments during operation of the container treatment machine can be avoided.
  • Fig. 3d shows a further embodiment of the means for attachment 205.
  • the frame 101 preferably gives the necessary strength and rigidity to a container treatment module, a treatment machine can also be realized without a superstructure.
  • the frame 101 is provided with attachment means as in Figs Fig. 3a and 3b discussed, attached to the turntable 112.
  • the superstructure can be omitted.
  • the rotary table can be dispensed with and a container treatment machine constructed comprising an axle 113 and a superstructure 114, wherein on the axle 113 and / or the superstructure 114 the frames 101 of the container treatment modules are fastened with the means 205 described above.
  • the turntable and make space for other devices in this area, or even attach a second series of container treatment modules to the axle 113.
  • Fig. 4 shows two different embodiments of the frame 101, once in the form of fixed predetermined, unchangeable dimensions ( Fig. 4a ) and with variable dimensions ( Fig. 4b and Fig. 4c ).
  • a non-inventive frame 101 with fixed dimensions a, b, c can be provided for a container treatment module. Since these dimensions are not necessarily suitable for each type of container (especially different size containers), a production for different types of containers and also different container treatment machines would be necessary, wherein the parameters a, b and c specific to each type of container and container treatment machine determine the dimensions of the frame 101 .
  • the extension d perpendicular to the plane in Fig. 4a can also play a role in this. In particular, determines the Expansion in this direction, as closely adjacent container treatment modules can be arranged at most. As a result, the maximum number of possible container treatment modules is predetermined at the same time for a given diameter, for example, a carousel, which is to be used in a container treatment machine.
  • the production of a frame 101 of fixed dimensions a, b, c and optionally d offers very good properties with regard to the stability of the frame, since this frame can be formed for example by means of an injection molding process.
  • the frame can advantageously consist of a hollow metal or light metal or plastic sheet, for example, has the shape shown and in which can be performed by appropriate openings wiring and lines. This can then be overmolded by means of an injection molding process with plastic or the like in order to obtain a lightweight and at the same time stable construction.
  • the dimensions a, b, c, as in Fig. 4b shown, changeable, so that they can be increased or reduced depending on certain requirements, such as the dimensions a ', b', c '.
  • the dimensions a ', b', c ' changeable, so that they can be increased or reduced depending on certain requirements, such as the dimensions a ', b', c '.
  • a realization of the variable dimensions a, b and c (a change in the dimension d is not presented here, but may be appropriate in some circumstances) is in Fig. 4c illustrated.
  • the frame 101 is made up of, for example, four mutually movable components 408-408 "', and a smaller or larger number of movable components may be provided, which are interconnected (for example, nested or extendible connections)
  • the devices relevant for the treatment of a container such as a turntable 102 and a centering device 104 and the associated motors 103 and 106 are each located on one of the movable components 408 "and 408" '.
  • connection of the movable components 408 to 408 "'with each other is provided so that even at maximum extent a', b ', c', such as in Fig. 4b shown, the entire frame 101 has at least sufficient rigidity and strength to meet the requirements during container handling.
  • the movable components 408 to 408 "'each overlap in pairs which means that, for example, component 408' invades to some minimum value into the movable component 408.
  • at least the portions of the moving parts 408 and 408 'that definitely enclose each other may be magnetically shaped to provide additional protection against unwanted movement and vibration.
  • either motors can be provided with the example in Fig. 2 described local control unit can be connected and the parts 408 to 408 "'can move against each other or the dimensions of the movable components 408-480"' are manually adjustable.
  • the movable components 408 to 480 can be connected to one another in the form of telescopic arms or telescopic tubes and have detents at specific intervals (for example for different standardized container sizes) .
  • These detents can be designed, for example, in the form of grids.
  • the latches or general detents must be designed so that they are not damaged even under heavy load and at the same time ensure high stability of the entire frame 101
  • Also here provide magnetic connections and also not only a lock but several on the circumference of the movable components 408 to 408 "'distributed locking be provided.
  • four detents are provided for these dimensions, ie four detents for the dimension a, for the dimension b and for the dimension c, so that on the one hand a high Stability and on the other hand, a hedge against any malfunction of one of the locks are guaranteed.
  • Fig. 5 shows a group of container treatment modules 100 to 100 ", which are connected in the form of a circle and can thus form a rotary machine Fig. 3 described connections of a container treatment module with components of the carousel can be transferred here to compounds of the individual container treatment modules with each other.
  • the container treatment module 100 ' may be connected to the container treatment modules 100 and 100 "by suitable means for attachment, preferably, these compounds may be adjusted at various angles, such as that any number (for example, 5, 10, 25, 50 or more) of container handling modules can be grouped together.
  • the middle of the in Fig. 5 represented circle may be provided a central line. This can be realized, for example, in the form of a hollow metal tube, through which the corresponding lines are routed and which has branches to the individual container treatment modules.
  • the arrangement of the container treatment modules 100 to 100 "in the form of a rotary machine is not mandatory in this way It can also be provided that the container treatment modules are assembled in the form of a chain, in particular in the form of a straight line.
