Definitions
- the invention relates to a transport chain according to the preamble
- Transport chains in their training as roller chains of a transport system of container treatment machines in the form of cleaning machines are known (DE 10 2009 006 492) and serve as part of the transport system for
- temperatures in the range between 15 ° C and 85 ° C.
- Treatment zones are e.g. Dipping baths, also in the form of lye or
- Acid baths Treatment zones for treating the containers with steam,
- Treatment zones for treating the containers with hot water and cold water, also for external and internal spraying of the container are also for external and internal spraying of the container.
- the transport system of such a container treatment machine comprises at least two, each forming a closed loop and with a large length through the
- Treatment zones extending transport chains in the form of roller chains.
- Each of these parallel and spaced loops is passed over a plurality of sprockets formed by sprockets and at least one of
- the container receiving container carrier for example in the form of bottle baskets are provided.
- the transport chains are also by the different treatment media, in particular by the
- liquid treatment media such as lye, acid, water, etc., ie in particular by constant immersion in acid and alkali baths, heavily steamed by steam, by immersion and / or spraying with water.
- container treatment machines often in three-shift operation operate about 320 days per year, with four to ten cycles of the transport system per hour.
- the transport chains each consist of a plurality of each other
- Chain links each in turn of at least two, in
- Chain longitudinal direction extending and perpendicular to a chain hinge axis of the chain links spaced-apart chain elements, which are preferably designed as tabs.
- the chain joints include i.a. a bolt which forms with its pin axis the chain joint axis of the respective chain joint, as well as a bearing bush arranged on the bolt and directly surrounding it and pivotable relative to the bolt about the chain joint axis. in the
- Transport chain freely rotatably mounted around the chain joint axis.
- Chain elements are suitably secured on the respective bolt, for example by securing elements, e.g. in the form of securing clips, and / or by permanently deforming or caulking the bolt ends protruding beyond the outer chain elements, or by welding these bolt ends to the outer chain elements.
- securing elements e.g. in the form of securing clips
- permanently deforming or caulking the bolt ends protruding beyond the outer chain elements or by welding these bolt ends to the outer chain elements.
- Container handling machines lead, in particular in the area of the chain joints, to considerable wear, inter alia, on the local bolt and / or on the bearing sleeve there, also due to unfavorable movement conditions between the bolt and the bearing sleeve.
- As a result of the movements within the container cleaning machine there is no continuous, permanent and continuous movement between the pin and the bearing sleeve.
- bolt and bearing sleeve move relative to each other only by a few degrees, for example, less than 45 °, so that constantly only or substantially only one and the same portions of the surface of the respective bolt and the bearing sleeve are claimed and thus increased Wear subject.
- the object of the invention is to show a transport chain in the form of a roller chain of a transport system of a container treatment machine, which has an improved service life, must be re-tensioned less frequently and can be operated with a lower energy input.
- a transport chain is designed according to claim 1. Further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
- Chain links relative to each other and associated with a reduced
- Chain joints is also reduced by the transport chain during operation on a drive applied resistance, so that continues to reduce the required drive power and energy use for the operation of a Transport chain having transport system revealed. If the additional sliding sleeves made of an elastic plastic so results in a certain elasticity for the transport chain in the chain longitudinal direction, for example with the advantage that when starting a transport system in the local transport chains shock-like mechanical loads avoided, or at least strongly dampened and thus also the life and Life of the transport chains used to be increased.
- Figure 1 is a partial length of a transport chain in the form of a roller chain.
- Fig. 2 shows a section along the line I - I by the transport chain in the range of a chain link between two chain longitudinally adjacent chain links.
- the transport chain designated generally by 1 in the figures is a roller chain part of an initially mentioned, but not shown, transport system of a container treatment machine, e.g. a bin cleaning machine with its various treatment zones, treatment media and
- the respective transport chain 1 is subject to circulating transport system considerable loads, as also mentioned above.
- the transport chain 1 consists in a known manner of several in
- the rollers 5 are based on the transmission of the loads, in particular the vertical loads of the load
- Transport system and generally to the chain guide on roller guides 5.1 from.
- the chain links 2 and 3 consist essentially of two in each case
- Chain elements 6.1 and 7.1 (chain links 2) or 6.2 and 7.2 (chain links 3) each in the form of tabs.
- the chain elements 6.1 and 7.1 or 6.2 and 7.2 are each pairwise parallel to each other and offset in the direction of the chain joint axis GA against each other and provided spaced from each other.
- Chain elements 6.1 and 6.2 form the one longitudinal side of the transport chain 1 and the chain elements 7.1 and 7.2 the other side of the transport chain, namely when used in the container transport system that longitudinal side, which faces the further transport chain of this system.
- the chain elements 7.1 and 7.2 are each formed with an angled portion 8.
- the chain links 4 each comprise an axially co-ordinated with the chain joint axis GA bolt 9 and the bolt 9 enclosing bearing sleeve 10 whose relative to the chain joint axis GA axial length at most equal to, but preferably slightly smaller than the distance that the facing and perpendicular to the Chain joint axis GA oriented
- the chain elements 6.1 and 7.1 of the chain links 2 are held with corresponding, adapted to the diameter of the bolt 9 holes on this bolt and secured there in a suitable manner, for example, that at the respective, on the chain element 6.1 or 7.1 outwardly projecting
- Bolt end a securing clip 1 1 is provided.
- Other measures to secure the chain elements 6.1 and 7.1, for example by deformation or Calking and / or by welding the respective pin end with the adjacent tab 6.1 and 7.1 are possible, as indicated in Figure 2 with 1 1 .1.
- the respective pin 9 is executed at its the chain elements 6.1 and 7.1 bearing ends, for example, with a reduced bolt diameter, so that step-like paragraphs 9.1 result against which the chain elements 6.1 and 7.1 with their facing each other
- Chain elements 7.1 and 7.2 In particular, the length of the chain elements 6.1, 6.2, 7.1 and 7.2 is identical, so that there is a constant center distance between the chain links 4 along the transport chain 1.
- At least the rollers 5, the chain elements 6.1, 6.2, 7.1 and 7.2, the bolts 9 and the bearing sleeves 10 each consist of a high-strength metallic material, ie steel with high strength, eg steel of class C45.
- a sliding sleeve 12 is additionally provided at each chain joint 4 between the bearing sleeve 10 and the pin 9, which preferably extends over the entire axial length of the bearing sleeve 10.
- the arrangement of the sliding sleeve 12 between the bearing sleeve 0 and the bolt 9 has the particular advantage that between the
- Chain links 2 and 3 acting forces are transmitted over a relatively large area over the sliding sleeve 12, while the transmission of forces between the bolt or the bearing sleeve and the chain elements 6.1, 6.2, 7.1 and 7.2, compared to the axial length of the sliding sleeve 12 only have a reduced material thickness, in each case via a metal / metal compound.
- the sliding sleeve 12 is made of a suitable plastic, for example of a thermoplastic and / or elastic plastic, preferably of a reinforced with fibers, such as glass fibers, carbon fibers and / or carbon nanofibers polymer, preferably also embedded in the polymer, the coefficient of friction between the Sliding sleeve 12 and the bearing sleeve 10 and / or the pin 9 even further reducing solids sliding particles.
- a suitable plastic for example of a thermoplastic and / or elastic plastic, preferably of a reinforced with fibers, such as glass fibers, carbon fibers and / or carbon nanofibers polymer, preferably also embedded in the polymer, the coefficient of friction between the Sliding sleeve 12 and the bearing sleeve 10 and / or the pin 9 even further reducing solids sliding particles.
- thermoplastic polymer for the sliding sleeve 12 is for example PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or a material, as by the following
- the sliding sleeve 12 is for example designed and installed so that it is not connected to the bolt 9, or with the bearing sleeve 10 non-positively and / or positively, so that a rotation of the sliding sleeve 12 about the chain hinge axis GA both against the pin 9, as also with respect to the bearing sleeve 10 is possible. It is also possible to prefabricate the bearing sleeves 10 with the sliding sleeves 12 by molding these sliding sleeves.
- the forces actually occurring between the teeth of the sprockets and the rollers 5 do not differ by more than +/- 40%, preferably not more than +/- 30%, more preferably not more than +/- 20%, from the theoretical force distribution ,
