Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closing element according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a closing machine according to the preamble of claim 7.
  • Closing elements for closing bottles or similar containers, in particular with container closures in the form of screw caps are known.
  • closure elements each consist of a closing head or Versch45konus for receiving the respective container closure, which placed with the capping on the respective container in a feed movement or in a delivery stroke in the region of its container mouth (joining) and then under pressure against the container on this by An - Is screwed or screwed.
  • the capping head is for this purpose in a vertical Verschgreselementachse with a lifting movement in a joining or Zustubhub (Spindelhub) axially movable between a raised and a lowered position and about the Verschauselementachse (VA) for fixing or tightening the container closure rotatable on the container (rotary or screwing).
  • the closing thus comprises the feeding or joining and the subsequent fixing of the container closure, e.g. by screwing on or on the container.
  • a motor drive (electric spindle drive) is provided for the rotating and screwing movement, while the feed stroke is usually generated by lifting curves.
  • the disadvantage here is that the stroke curves must be replaced to adapt the delivery and Anpresshubes or the lifting movement to different container closures or height of container closures.
  • a further disadvantage is that often for the feed stroke and the locking head bearing shaft or spindle must be moved with and that known closing a variety of moving parts, guides, bearings, possibly also gears, etc., which include hard to reach areas such as corners , Columns, etc., with the risk of microbial contamination and functionally located in a room in which the Verschrudpositionen and thus the initially still open containers are arranged. As a result, there is a high microbiological risk for the just filled and still open container.
  • a closing element according to the preamble of claim 1 is characterized by DE 10 2007 057 857 A1 disclosed.
  • a further disadvantage of the known closing elements or closing machines is that they are still very limited for use in sterile, clean or ultra-clean rooms. This limited usability results from the fact that these known elements always have a combination of a rotational movement with an axial movement, which can be entered by the axial movement always contaminants and / or germs from the environment in the room with special purity requirements, thereby ultimately a contamination The bottled products can not be completely excluded.
  • the object of the invention is to show a closure element, which has a simplified and compact design and in which the contamination risk described above is at least significantly reduced.

  • These drives are further designed such that at least the drive member of a drive and thereby preferably at least the drive for the rotational and screwing movement with respect to the Verschesseelementachse when closing, i. performs no axial movement when joining and fixing the container closure, but is formed as rotatably driven by its drive spindle or shaft.
  • the rotational movement a shaft is thereby converted via a lifting or spindle gear in the axial stroke movement, which is then generated as well as the rotation and screwing by a corresponding control of the two drives relative to each other.
  • the lifting or spindle gear which can be made very compact or small volume and structurally simple, is for example arranged directly above the capping head or in the space in which the containers also move at least with their container opening.
