Definitions

  • This invention relates to a rotary capping column designed for closing with nailing or screw caps of containers with various shapes and without necks. This invention will find application in the food processing industry.
  • a rotary column which includes a reducer group mounted to the main drive shaft of the column via bearings, is known from patent BG 111339 , priority document of WO 2014/071467 A1 .
  • an upper guiding platform is placed, to and under which, symmetrically to its axis, screwing devices are located.
  • a main bearing body is fastened to the main drive shaft, which is under the upper guiding platform and above the reducer group. Under the main bearing body, there is a cam mounted to the main drive shaft, centered to an irremovable flange. The flange itself is attached to a support platform. A main bearing is mounted to the upper part of the flange, which separates the rotating member of the column from the nonrotating one.
  • the reducer group with the electric motor, the main gear wheel, and the cam are located under the support platform.
  • the screwing devices are centered both to the main bearing body and to the upper guiding platform. Control of each screwing device is executed by the cam through a drive roller, which is mounted at the upper end of the screwing device and placed in a notch made in the cam.
  • a cap feeding platform and an inlet device are located in a particular sector under the screwing devices. Underneath this, is located a support platform for containers, which is irremovably bound to the main bearing body. Centering carriers are provided for positioning of the containers, along the periphery where there are holders with lateral lower and upper anti-rotation members, irremovably attached above the support platform. Carrying and guiding of the containers can be done simultaneously by their neck and also by their bottoms.
  • a rotary capping column comprising centering mechanisms mounted to the rotary column.
  • the centering mechanisms are located circularly and symmetrically around a main drive shaft of rotary column.
  • Each one the centering mechanisms comprising a support platform for a container being capped.
  • the both of known rotary columns are not suitable for capping of containers, for example of parallelepiped shape, and particularly with a neck, which is positioned symmetrically to the central axis of the bottle.
  • the known rotary columns are not suitable for capping of containers, which do not have neck, as the guiding of containers in that case is done by their neck and bottoms.
  • One aim of the invention is to design a rotary capping column that can be used for capping containers with various shapes, without necks, with nailing or screw caps, and with different opening locations to the container's central axis.
  • a rotary capping column for capping containers with nailing or screw caps, where one or more centering mechanisms are set circumferentially and symmetrically to the rotary column's main drive shaft.
  • Each centering mechanism is comprised of a support platform, on which there is a container, which is to be capped. Centrally below and to the support platform, through releasable connection, is rigidly connected a centering axis mounted to the guiding member via bearing. In the guiding member and in the centering axis, there is a perpendicular opening, where there is a bearing axis located, irremovably bound to the guiding member. At one end of the bearing axis, there is a drive bearing mounted, rested in a notch made in the cam, which is aligned and irremovably bound to the main bearing body of the rotary column.
  • a movable platform is irremovably bound to the guiding member, to which there are bound two holders that pass through openings made in the support platform.
  • the openings in the support platform correspond to the shape of the holders.
  • the holders are changeable, and their shape depends on the shape of the container being capped.
  • the support platform of the centering mechanism is changeable, as its shape and size depends on the shape and size of the container being capped.
  • the advantages of the rotary column for capping containers are that it allows a very accurate and reliable positioning under the capping heads of containers of various shapes and without necks.
  • the rotary column ( Figs. 1 and 2 ) is composed of a main drive shaft 1 to the lower part where there is fixed a main gear wheel 2, which is driven by a motor (not shown in the accompanying figures). By means of this motor, the rotary capping column is driven into rotation around its lifting axis 25.
  • an upper guiding platform 5 is mounted ( Fig. 1 ), to which circularly and symmetrically to its axis, there are arranged screwing (nailing) devices 4, as when the main drive shaft 1 starts rotating, all the screwing (nailing) devices start to rotate around axis 4.
  • the screwing (nailing) devices 4 for caps are driven as to perform a reciprocating motion, controlled by the upper cam 6, and simultaneously, the screwing devices 4 perform rotational motions around its own axis, driven by a motor reducer group 24, which is located in the upper part of the rotary column.
  • the main bearing body 8 is fastened to the main drive shaft 1, above the main platform 3 and under the upper guiding platform 5 by means of screws ( Fig. 2 ).
  • a cam 9 is mounted ( Fig. 2 ), which is centered and fastened to the main bearing body 8 by fasteners 7.
  • Centering mechanisms 11 are mounted two the rotary capping column, circularly and symmetrically of the main drive shaft 1.
  • Each one of the centering mechanisms 11 is comprised of a support platform 16, on which there is the container 10, which is to be capped.
  • the guiding member 15 and the centering axis 13 are placed freely in an opening in an intermediate platform 18 ( Fig. 2 ), as the centering axis 13 in its lower end is attached irremovably to a lower guiding platform 19.
  • a movable platform 22 is mounted to which there are fixed holders 23 passing through openings made on the support platform 16.
  • the openings of the support platform 16 correspond in shape to the profile of the holders 23, which are changeable depending on the shape of the container 10, to be capped.
  • the holders 23 are connected to the movable platform 22 by a bolt connection.
  • the support platform 16 is also changeable, and its shape and size depend on the shape and size of the container 10 being capped. According to the described embodiment, each of the containers 10 intended for capping, is of parallelepiped shape, as the holders 23 are also of parallelepiped shape and are four in number.
  • the main drive shaft 1 is mounted to the main bearing body 8 via bearings 17.
  • the control of the centering mechanisms 11 is carried out by the cam 9, in which there is a notch, which includes the bearings 21 of the guiding member 15.
  • the centering mechanisms 11 start rotating around the central axis 25 of the rotary column, and as the drive bearing 21 moves along the notch of the cam 9, the guiding member 15 of the centering mechanism 11 moves in a vertical direction.
  • the container 10 is fixed and centered. While centering, the opening of the container 10 stands concentrically with the axis of the screw (nailing) mechanisms 4 ( Fig. 1 ), and after the cap is screwed or nailed to the container 10, the holders 23 are pulled vertically down by the bearings 21, moving through the cam notch 9 and releasing the container 10.
