Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container plate for receiving a container in a container treatment machine having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a container treatment machine for labeling, printing and / or inspection of containers with a transport device and arranged thereon container receptacles for transporting the container.
  • Tray dishes are commonly used in container handling machines to receive the containers to be treated at the bottom of the container and to position and / or rotate with respect to a treatment unit.
  • the treatment unit may be, for example, a labeling, printing or inspection unit or a combination of these units.
  • the containers are usually rotated during transport by means of the container plate relative to the labeling unit in order to attach the label over the entire container circumference.
  • the container In order to ensure a reliable container treatment, the container must be fixed at a defined receiving position with a clamping force.
  • the container plate acts as part of a container receptacle, for example with a centering, together, wherein the centering the container neck and the container plate receives the container bottom.
  • the container plate itself comprises a base body, which is connected via a shaft with a direct drive or a cam control of the container treatment machine. As a result, the desired rotational and / or positioning movement of the container relative to the treatment unit is achieved.
  • a receiving element with an anti-skid surface is formed on the base body, which has a sufficiently high coefficient of friction when acting on the clamping force, so that the container does not slip by the force of the treatment unit.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a container plate with which a particularly secure and reliable positioning of the container at the receiving position is possible.
  • the container inhibited in an early contact with the anti-slip surface in its movement and this can result in incorrect positioning in the container dish.
  • the sliding member relative to the anti-slip surface can be raised, the container bottom is no longer in contact with the receiving element during positioning. Consequently, the container can also be positioned at low forces at the intended receiving position. Subsequently, the slider can be lowered, so that the container bottom comes into direct contact with the anti-slip surface and the container is thereby secured against slipping in the receiving position. Consequently, therefore, a reliable and accurate positioning of the container in the receiving position and a safeguard against slipping are ensured with the container plate.
  • the container treatment can be guaranteed with consistent quality.
  • the container plate may be arranged in a container treatment machine, which is preferably part of a beverage processing plant.
  • a container receptacle or a treatment station may comprise the container dish and a centering bell.
  • the container plate can be arranged on a transport device, such as a carousel.
  • the centering bell may be provided to exert a clamping force on the container against the container plate during operation.
  • the containers may be bottles, cans and / or tubes made of plastic or glass.
  • the containers may be designed to receive gaseous, liquid, solid and / or pasty products.
  • the main body of the container dish can be connected via a shaft and / or a connecting piece with a drive, which includes, for example, a direct drive, a transmission and / or a control cam.
  • the main body may be formed as a circular disk-shaped plate, which is preferably arranged horizontally on the container treatment machine.
  • the wave and / or the connecting piece can be arranged vertically with its axis of rotation. Vertical here can be the direction that is directed to the center of the earth.
  • the horizontal direction may be substantially perpendicular thereto.
  • the receiving element may be arranged on the base body, ie in the vertical direction connected via and with the base body.
  • the receiving element can be fastened to the base body via connecting elements, such as screws, guide bolts, springs and the like.
  • the receiving element or a plurality of receiving elements may be arranged substantially axially symmetrical to an axis of the base body.
  • the axis of the body can coincide with the container axis, the engine or transmission shaft.
  • the receiving element or the receiving elements and the base body may be formed symmetrically with respect to a common axis.
  • Anti-slip surface may mean here that the receiving element is coated with an anti-slip layer.
  • the anti-slip surface may have a static friction coefficient in a range of 0.5 to 0.9.
  • the anti-slip surface may comprise an anti-slip layer of a deformable material, such as rubber.
  • the anti-slip surface adapts to the shape of the container due to the clamping force and thus increases the contact surface during clamping.
  • the container is particularly well secured against slipping.
  • the anti-slip surface can run in a plane that optionally extends horizontally. It is also conceivable that the container plate comprises a plurality of receiving elements whose anti-slip surfaces extend in a plane.
  • the slider may be made of a plastic material such as polyethylene, PVC or Teflon. It is also conceivable that the sliding element has only a support of such a plastic material. The support may preferably be designed to be exchangeable.
  • the sliding element may have a lower coefficient of static friction than the anti-slip surface, for example in a range of 0.1 to 0.3. "Liftable in relation to the anti-slip surface” can mean here that the sliding element can be raised relative to the anti-slip surface in such a way that only the container bottom is in contact with the sliding element when the container is fed into the container plate. "Lowerable relative to the anti-slip surface” can mean here that the sliding element can be lowered to the extent that the container bottom comes into contact with the anti-slip surface.
  • the latter may also include that the sliding element extends in a plane with the anti-slip surface, so that the container with the anti-slip surface and the sliding member comes into contact.
  • the fact that "the container is slidably positioned in the receiving position” may mean that the container slides on the slider until it is sufficiently positioned in the receiving position for treatment.
  • the sliding element can be moved according to the posi- be lowered tion to secure the container by means of the anti-slip surface against slipping.
  • the sliding element can be mounted with respect to the base body and / or the receiving element with at least one spring. Thereby, the slider can be lowered by means of a clamping force on the container, for example by pressing a centering bell on the container mouth.
  • the at least one spring can be designed such that the sliding element unloaded or loaded only by the Be fiscalerhiskraft relative to the anti-slip surface lifts and that the sliding member lowers against the anti-slip surface in a clamping force acting in addition to the container gravity, for example by a centering.
  • the position of the sliding element relative to the anti-slip surface can be controlled particularly easily by the clamping force.
  • the spring is designed so that the anti-slip surface only comes into contact with the container in an end stage of clamping.
  • the design or interpretation of the spring can refer here to the spring constant.
  • At least one sliding element can be arranged between two receiving elements.
  • the receiving elements and sliding elements can be arranged alternately, so that the container is particularly stable both on the receiving elements and on the sliding elements.
  • a plurality of receiving elements and a plurality of sliding elements can be arranged alternately.
  • the receiving elements may be arranged in the shape of a cake segment in a circle and the sliding elements each extend in the form of a bar in-between.
  • Container segment-shaped may mean here that the receiving elements have the shape of a circular disk segment or a triangle.
  • the individual receiving elements may have a distance from one another in which the sliding elements are arranged.
  • Web-shaped can mean here that the sliding elements each form a web-shaped transition in the intermediate space between two receiving elements. In other words, the sliding elements can be rectangular or cake-segment-shaped between the receiving elements.
  • the container plate may comprise four web-shaped sliding elements, which together form a cross. This ensures that a container to be positioned on the cross always has four Aufstandsus and is guided so safe and stable. Between the four bar-shaped Sliding elements can then be arranged cake-shaped receiving elements each cake segment.
  • the anti-slip surface may extend in a plane and have an opening in which the sliding element is arranged.
  • the structure of the receiving element and the sliding element is particularly simple.
  • the anti-slip surface may have a plurality of optionally circular openings, in each of which a sliding element is arranged.
  • the breakthroughs with the sliding elements can be arranged in a regular grid.
  • the receiving element may be plate-shaped and have a plurality of circular openings in a regular grid, in which the sliding elements are arranged.
  • the container is supported at regular positions when sliding by means of the sliding elements.
  • the sliding elements may be connected together with a body which is formed below the receiving element.
  • the body may in turn be mounted with springs to allow lowering and lifting of the sliding elements. It is also conceivable that each slider is mounted individually with a spring.
  • a centering ring for axial centering of the container, which is formed on its inner edge with at least one oblique centering surface, which optionally drops inwardly.
  • the oblique centering surface may be formed, for example, conical. It is conceivable that the inner edge is formed with a plurality of centering surfaces which are inclined towards a common centering axis and / or lie on a common virtual conical surface. Furthermore, the centering surfaces can be arranged alternately with the sliding elements and / or the receiving elements. As a result, the container plate can also reliably position containers with diameters of different sizes on a centering axis.
  • the centering axis can coincide with a rotational axis of the container dish.
  • the receiving element and / or the sliding element can be arranged at least partially or entirely within the inner edge of the centering ring.
  • the container initially slides on the sliding elements in the vicinity of the receiving position, can then by means of the clamping force, so for example by a centering bell, pressed down and thereby centered by the inner edge of the centering ring.
  • the container then comes into contact with the anti-slip surface of the receiving element and is thereby secured in the receiving position against slipping.
  • the centering ring can be mounted with respect to the base body and / or the receiving element with at least one spring. As a result, different diameters or container heights can be compensated.

  • the container receptacles each comprise a container plate with a liftable and lowerable sliding element
  • the containers can be slidably positioned in the receiving position, without being inhibited in their movement. Consequently, even very low positioning forces are sufficient to safely and reliably position the container at the desired picking position.
  • the container treatment machine can be arranged in a beverage processing plant.
  • the container treatment machine can be connected downstream of a beverage filling machine.
  • the container treatment machine can be designed for labeling, printing and / or inspecting the containers and / or comprise a labeling, printing and / or inspection unit.
