Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for closing swing top bottles.
  • Swing-top bottles have been enjoying increasing popularity recently.
  • Such swing-top bottles have a swing-top closure consisting of a multi-part closure strap and a closure stopper with a seal, which is received by this.
  • the locking clip usually consists of a clip ring and a clip arm, the free ends of the essentially semicircular clip ring for pivoting mounting of the clip ring in the mouth area of the clip closure bottle being received in two opposing recesses in the bottle neck.
  • the yoke ring also forms a receptacle for the free ends of the yoke arm, namely these are pivotably received in two ring-like yoke sections of the yoke ring.
  • the bracket arm receives the sealing plug, which is preferably made of a ceramic material and is provided with a rubber sealing ring, so that the sealing plug is rotatably attached to the bracket arm.
  • the closure stopper with the rubber sealing ring is pressed onto the opening of the bottle mouth via the multi-part closure clip, preferably made of metal, in particular a metal wire, and thus an airtight and liquid-tight closure of the bottle is achieved.
  • Swing top bottles are preferably designed as returnable bottles and are therefore refilled over and over again in several usage cycles.
  • the swing top bottles Before each refilling, the swing top bottles must be checked for intactness and cleaned, so that in each cycle of use there are usually several processing steps in different processing stations.
  • the open, empty bottles with opened clip-on closures first pass through a bottle cleaning system and are then fed to an inspection device to inspect the seal before they are finally conveyed to a filling system for refilling. After filling or refilling the swing top bottles, they must be in a closing system or by means of a device for closing swing top bottles.
  • the swing top In the case of open swing top bottles, the swing top is usually aligned hanging down, with the stopper resting on one side of the swing top bottle on the bottle neck. To close a swing top bottle, the swing top cap must therefore first be aligned or raised so that the stopper can be placed on the bottle mouth in a predetermined orientation. After the stopper has been placed on the mouth of the bottle, the clamp ring must be pressed or tightened in a downward direction for complete, airtight and liquid-tight closure. In particular, the step of placing the stopper on the bottle mouth, however, requires extremely high accuracy and reliability so that the swing top bottles can be closed safely and hygienically with a sufficiently good performance.
  • the DE1 813 431 U a rotary machine for closing bottles with clip closures on rotating bottle carriers, with the bottle carriers being associated with moving closing tools which have movable lifting elements and movable stopper rolling tracks.
  • a stationary, fixed slide track engaging in the circumferential area of the aligned and raised closure parts is provided, which is designed in the form of an ascending spatial curve approaching the bottles.
  • the bottle closure parts are lifted up and away from the bottle by means of a stopper fork and then come against the fixed slide.
  • the stopper plugs are taken from the slideway by the stopper roller conveyor.
  • DE 196 46 147 B4 a device for closing bottles with swing-top closures, in which the bottles can be guided by means of an inlet star and a rotating star through an alignment device rotating the bottles around their longitudinal axis in a defined angular position and by a closure device that places the stopper on the bottle opening and tensioning the swing-top closure.
  • the closure device preferably has a curved path for the forced guidance of the clip closures, via which the stopper clip is guided upwards to the bottle opening.
  • a lift part can also be provided, which serves to initially raise the stopper a little.
  • the disadvantage of the above-mentioned closing devices is the alignment and lifting of the bracket closures or the lifting of the bracket closures from the bottle wall by means of lifting elements which, for example, engage the closure bracket from below and move it upwards.
  • the stopper is exposed to the risk of contamination due to the lifting elements attached from below.
  • the DE 1 178 319 B discloses a device for holding the wire fasteners in a lockable position.
  • the device comprises a closing tool consisting of a liftable and lowerable aligning and / or closing head, on which magnets are arranged, via which the wire closures, which are transferred in the known manner by means of alignment tools into the correct position for closing, between aligning or placing and closing clamping in the right location can be kept
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular enables a simple, inexpensive, hygienically perfect and low-maintenance fitting of closure stoppers on the bottle mouths of swing top bottles.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention by the device according to independent claim 1. Further advantageous aspects, details and embodiments of the invention emerge from the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.
  • the present invention provides a device for fitting closure stoppers of swing top closures of swing top bottles onto their bottle mouths.
  • the device comprises at least one transport device for transporting the swing top bottles in at least one conveying direction and at least one positioning device for aligning the swing top closures and positioning the stopper.
  • the positioning device has at least one magnetization device for generating a magnetic force acting on the clip closures to align the clip closures in a placement position and a guide device arranged in the conveying direction along the transport device for positioning the stopper in the area of the bottle mouth.
  • the magnetization device comprises at least a first and a second magnet station, the magnet stations being arranged in the area of the guide device and connected to it, and the alignment of the clip fasteners in the put-on position by means of the at least two magnet stations as deflection, lifting or stretching and erecting of the clip fasteners in at least two steps are carried out.
  • fitting the closure plugs in a manner that is appropriate for closing is understood to mean that the swing-top closures are deflected, lifted and stretched upwards starting from an open state, namely from a state in which the swing-top closures are oriented essentially hanging down and the closure stoppers rest on the bottle neck Finally the stopper is positioned on the bottle mouth.
  • the closing of the stopper can therefore be understood as closing the swing top bottle, although the pressing or tensioning of the swing top is missing for a complete, firm closure in an airtight and liquid-tight manner, which is not included here.
  • the device according to the invention during the closing of swing top bottles, which is usually carried out as a result of the filling or after the filling process, it is first of all particularly advantageous to ensure that the stopper of the swing top is positioned in the area of the bottle mouth and placed on the bottle mouth in the correct orientation.
  • both the clip lock and the stopper can be positioned.
  • the swing top bottles are made from an upstream device, such as. B. a filling system coming into the positioning device, which is why the swing top bottles when they arrive at the positioning device usually already have a predetermined orientation or rotational position, that is, the hanging swing top closures of the swing top bottles are, for example, all directed to the same side of the transport device, namely to the side the transport device on which the positioning device is also arranged.
  • the alignment of the clip closures can also include the fact that a clip closure bottle, if required, is rotated around its longitudinal axis before entering the positioning device so that the clip closure or the metallic closure clip responding to the magnetic effect of the magnetization device is sufficient physical proximity is brought to the positioning device.
  • the at least one magnetization device provided in the positioning device is designed to generate a magnetic force acting on the clip fasteners for aligning the clip fasteners in a placement position, the magnetization device comprising at least a first and a second magnet station for this purpose.
  • the alignment of the clip fasteners in a put-on position is to be understood as deflecting, lifting or stretching and erecting the clip fasteners and takes place in at least two steps by means of the at least two magnet stations.
  • the swing-top closures are finally transferred with this lifting and erecting movement from an orientation that is vertically hanging down in the broadest sense via a horizontal orientation into an upright or upward orientation.
  • the orientation pointing vertically upwards in the broadest sense corresponds to the touchdown position.
  • the magnetic alignment of the clip locks in the put-on position is advantageously non-contact, is therefore particularly hygienic and prevents germs.
  • the guide device By means of the guide device arranged in the conveying direction along the transport device, the correct and precise positioning of the stoppers over the bottle mouths is advantageously ensured, whereby the guide device has no supporting or holding function due to the magnet stations arranged in their area and connected to it, so that a smallest, almost Forceless contact between the guide device and the stopper causes a guide or positioning of the stopper.
  • the guide device guides the stopper up to an area above the bottle mouth, specifically in such a way that each stopper is arranged essentially coaxially with the corresponding swing top bottle.
  • the first magnet station is preferably arranged in an inlet area of the guide device and the second magnet station in an outlet area of the guide device and the first magnet station is designed to generate a first magnetic force acting on the clip fasteners and the second magnet station is designed to generate a second magnetic force acting on the clip fasteners.
  • the first magnetic force generated by the first magnet station is oriented essentially perpendicular to a bottle's longitudinal axis and is designed to align the clip closures in a plane running perpendicular to the bottle's longitudinal axis.
  • the second magnetic force generated by the second magnet station is oriented essentially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the bottle and is designed to align the clip closures in the closing position.
  • the first and second magnetic force act quasi as a tensile force on the clip fastener or the fastener clip, which pulls or forces it into a specific alignment or orientation.
  • the first magnetic force forces the swing top into a horizontal orientation in a plane running perpendicular to the bottle's longitudinal axis and the second magnetic force forces the swing top into the put-on position in an upward orientation.
  • At least the second magnet station is particularly advantageously designed in the form of a switchable electromagnet.
  • the electromagnet can be switched off, for example. This loss of the second magnetic force has the effect that the clip closure is no longer pulled upwards, as a result of which the closure plug sags downwards following the force of gravity. Due to the simultaneous action of the guide device on the stopper, the stopper is positioned so that it touches the bottle mouth when it sags downwards.
  • At least one third magnet station integrated in the guide device is provided, the third magnet station being arranged in the conveying direction between the first and second magnet stations and being designed to generate a third magnetic force acting on the clip fasteners.
  • the third magnetic force generated by the third magnet station is oriented essentially obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the bottle and is designed for aligning the clip closures in a plane that runs at an incline to the longitudinal axis of the bottle.
  • further magnet stations arranged in the conveying direction between the first and second magnet stations and designed to generate further magnetic forces can be provided.
  • one, two, three or more further magnet stations can be provided, the magnetic forces of which are oriented essentially at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the bottle at different angular distances from it. All magnet stations are preferably distributed evenly along the guide device.
  • the magnet stations are arranged in relation to the orientation of their respective generated magnetic forces, namely in such a way that the direction of the generated magnetic forces in the conveying direction has a decreasing angular distance to the longitudinal axis of the bottle.
  • the multiple magnet stations can advantageously ensure that the clip closures are not raised or deflected jerkily, but rather uniformly in a uniform movement.
  • the guide device is designed in the form of a guide rail having a guide track, which is arranged along the transport device along the length of the rail in the conveying direction.
  • the magnet stations are particularly preferably integrated into the guide rail.
  • the guide rail is preferably made of a plastic, in particular a thermoplastic, and is particularly preferably coated with an exchangeable sliding film at least in the area of its guide track, which is made, for example, of polyethylene and preferably also has a ferrite coating.
  • the guide rail can be inclined to the transport level be arranged or preferably have a curved or curved shape so that, for example, the outlet area has a greater distance from the transport plane than the inlet area, the outlet area being arranged approximately at a height slightly above the bottle mouths.
  • the guide rail can be designed in the form of a turning bar.
  • additional rotating elements can be provided in the device, which are arranged in front of the positioning device in relation to the conveying direction. These are preferably rotary elements as they are known from the prior art.
  • a rotation of the swing top bottles is necessary, for example, when the swing top bottles arrive in an orientation of the swing top closures that is almost arbitrarily rotated in relation to the conveying direction.
  • a rotating device for setting and holding a predetermined rotating position of the swing top bottles, the rotating device being connected upstream of the positioning device in the conveying direction.
  • the rotating device comprises means for rotating the swing top bottles, which are arranged opposite one another along the transport device and in particular has at least one magnetizing means and a swing positioning unit for setting and holding a predetermined rotating position of the swing top bottles.
  • the magnetizing means is designed to generate a magnetic force acting on the clip closures of the clip closure bottles for lifting the clip closures and the clip positioning unit is designed to provide a stop for the lifted clip closures.
  • the open swing top bottles transported by means of the transport device in the conveying direction are set into a rotating movement in the direction of rotation by the acting means for rotating when they enter the rotating device, so that the swing top bottles in the area of the rotating device are finally transported in the conveying direction and simultaneously rotated about their longitudinal axis.
  • the magnetic force generated by the magnetizing means has a particularly advantageous effect on the clip closures hanging freely downward and resting against the bottle neck, so that these are raised or stretched or deflected, namely by means of a swivel or Deflection movement about a pivot axis running essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bottle.
  • the magnetization means is designed such that it generates a sufficient magnetic force acting on the clip fasteners, by means of which the clip fasteners can be held in the raised, deflected position.
  • the bracket positioning unit forms a stop for the raised, deflected bracket closures, which moves along in the conveying direction, so that the bracket closures of the bracket closure bottles moved in the direction of rotation strike the bracket positioning unit when the specified rotational position is reached, thereby preventing further rotation.
  • the swing top bottles therefore have the predetermined rotational position when they leave the rotating device. In this predetermined rotational position, the clip closures are already aligned horizontally, so that the clip closure bottles can be transferred directly to the positioning device from this position.
