Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closing machine for closing a container with an ejection device according to the preamble of the independent patent claim.
  • the EP 1 103 513 A1 describes a container closing machine with a plunger.
  • the plunger has at an upper sliding end a sliding element in the form of a roller, over which the plunger can be rolled on a sliding profile in order to act on a lid of a container via the plunger.
  • Fig. 1 shows the structure of a known ejection head 1 'and Fig. 2 the known ejection head 1 ' Fig. 1 operational.
  • the ejection head 1' comprises a carrier element 2' with a carrier axis 3' and a sliding end 4', and a sliding element 5' for sliding the carrier element 2' along a sliding profile of the sealing machine.
  • the sliding element 5 ' is arranged on the sliding end 4' and can exert a force acting essentially in the direction of the carrier axis 3' Carrier element 2 'transferred.
  • the sliding element 5' has a rounded surface.
  • the ejection head 1' is connected to an ejection rod.
  • the ejection head 1' and the ejection rod form part of the ejection device.
  • the force can be transmitted to the ejection rod via the carrier element.
  • Fig. 2 shows the known ejection head 1 'in operation.
  • the ejection head 1' slides with the sliding element 5' along a sliding profile 6' of the sealing machine.
  • the sliding profile 6' has two sections with an increased level.
  • One section with an increased level of the sliding profile 6' corresponds to the function of holding down the container, in which the container to be closed is held for the closing process by means of the ejection device and centered for the lid closure
  • the other section with an increased level of the sliding profile 6' corresponds to the function container ejection, in which the closed container is ejected from the sealing machine by means of the ejection device.
  • the ejection head 1' While the container is being held down and the container is being ejected, the ejection head 1' is moved along the sliding profile 6' and can also rotate about its support axis 3'.
  • the rounded surface of the sliding element 5' carries out a sliding movement along the sliding profile 6'.
  • the rounded surface is lubricated via an oil jet (not shown), so that a lubricating film builds up between the rounded surface and the sliding profile 6 '.
  • a major disadvantage of the known closing machines is, among other things, that the movement it carries out along the sliding profile is basically a sliding movement. This sliding movement leads to increased wear on the sliding profile and the sliding element. In addition there is a risk that the lubricating film between the sliding profile and the sliding element will tear off. Both lead to an increased load on the sealing machine due to vibrations, which has a negative effect on the smooth running and energy consumption of the sealing machine. In particular, the increased wear means that the sliding profile and/or the sliding element have to be replaced frequently. In addition, the risk of the lubricating film breaking off makes complex lubrication necessary.
  • the invention therefore relates to a closing machine for closing a container, comprising an ejection device and a sliding profile, the ejection device comprising an ejection rod and an ejection head.
  • the ejection head comprises a carrier element with a carrier axis and a sliding end, and a sliding element for sliding the carrier element along a sliding profile of the closing machine, the sliding element being arranged on the sliding end and transmitting a force acting essentially in the direction of the carrier axis to the carrier element via the sliding element is.
  • the sliding element is designed as a rotatable rolling body, so that the carrier element can be rolled over the rotatable rolling body along the sliding profile in the operating state.
  • the rotatable rolling body can be rotated about the support axis and about an axis which is perpendicular to the direction of movement and varies during the movement of the sliding element on the sliding profile and the sliding profile has a groove suitable for receiving and/or guiding the rotatable rolling body.
  • the sliding element performs a rolling movement on the sliding profile.
  • the sliding element can rotate freely relative to the carrier element. Essentially on two different axes. On the one hand, around the support axis. On the other hand, it also revolves around an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of movement and varies during the movement of the sliding element on the sliding profile. This is in contrast to the prior art, where the sliding element is rigidly connected to the carrier element and performs a pure sliding movement on the sliding profile.
  • a significant advantage of the closing machine according to the invention is that due to the rolling movement of the sliding element on the sliding profile, the wear of the sliding element and sliding profile is reduced. This allows the service life of the ejection head and the sliding profile or the change intervals of the ejection head and the sliding profile to be extended. In addition, the rolling movement of the sliding element on the sliding profile results in increased smoothness, which leads to a reduction in the energy consumption of the closing machine and a reduced load on the closing machine due to vibrations.
  • the ejection head according to the invention also improves the lubricity of the ejection head and simplifies lubrication.
  • the ejection head additionally comprises a bearing element via which the rotatable rolling element is mounted on the carrier element. Due to the bearing element, the lubrication of the rolling element is simplified, the rolling movement of the rolling element is improved, the wear on the rolling element and sliding profile is reduced and the heat development on the rolling element and sliding profile is reduced. In addition, the bearing element improves the positioning of the rolling element on the ejection head.
  • the bearing element is detachably connected to the carrier element. As a result, the bearing element can be replaced separately, which means that costs on the closing machine can be reduced.
  • the bearing element and/or the rotatable rolling body has a hardened surface, in particular a hard coating.
  • a hardened surface in particular a hard coating.
  • the bearing element and/or the rotatable rolling body are made of metal and/or plastic and/or a ceramic material and/or a composite material. This can also reduce the wear of the bearing element and/or the rotatable rolling element, which results in an increased service life of the bearing element and/or the rotatable rolling element.
  • the ejection head additionally comprises a holding element, via which the rotatable rolling element is held in the bearing element. Due to the holding element Improved securing of the rolling element on the ejection head is achieved. In addition, improved lubricity of the rolling element is achieved.
  • the rotatable rolling body is designed as a sphere or an ellipsoid. This ensures an optimal linear and axial rolling movement of the ejection head on the sliding profile.
  • the ejection head additionally comprises a spring element, via which the rotatable rolling element can be pressed against the sliding profile in the operating state.
  • the spring element ensures continuous contact between the rolling element and the sliding profile.
  • the contact force with which the rolling element rests on the sliding profile can be adjusted via the spring element.
  • the spring element can also be used to compensate for unevenness in the rolling element and/or the sliding profile, which results in increased smoothness of the sealing machine.
  • the spring element is designed as a spiral spring. This enables a simplified design of the ejection head.
  • the sliding profile has a groove suitable for receiving and/or guiding the rotatable rolling element. This allows the Hertzian pressure between the rolling element and the sliding profile to be reduced. In addition, the rolling movement and guidance of the rolling element on the sliding profile can be improved.
  • the sliding profile has a hardened surface, in particular a hard coating. This allows the Wear on the sliding profile can be reduced or the service life of the sliding profile can be increased.
  • the sliding profile is made of metal and/or plastic and/or a ceramic material and/or a composite material. This can also reduce the wear of the sliding profile and increase the service life of the sliding profile.
  • the sealing machine can additionally comprise a sliding profile support to which the sliding profile is detachably connected.
  • the sliding profile can be replaced separately on the sealing machine, which results in a cost reduction for the sealing machine.
  • Fig. 3 shows a first exemplary embodiment of an ejection head for a closing machine according to the invention, which is referred to below as a whole with the reference number 1.
  • the ones in the Fig. 3 to Fig. 6 Reference numerals used do not have an apostrophe because these figures refer to exemplary embodiments of the present invention. How already mentioned above, only have the reference numbers Fig. 1 and 2 an apostrophe because these refer to the known state of the art.
  • the ejection head 1 comprises a carrier element 2 with a carrier axis 3 and a sliding end 4, and a sliding element 5 for sliding the carrier element 2 along a sliding profile of the sealing machine.
  • the sliding element 5 is arranged at the sliding end 4 and can transmit a force acting essentially in the direction of the carrier axis 3 to the carrier element 2.
  • the sliding element 5 is designed as a rotating rolling body in the form of a ball.
  • the ejection head 1 additionally comprises a bearing element 7 and a holding element 8, via which the rotatable rolling body 5 is mounted or held on the carrier element 2.
  • Fig. 4 shows the ejection head 1 Fig. 3 and an ejection rod 9 to which the ejection head 1 is detachably connected.
  • the ejection head 1 and the ejection rod 9 form part of an ejection device 10 of a closing machine, not shown, for closing containers.
  • a force can be transmitted to the ejection rod 9 during operation via the ejection head 1.
  • the ejection device 10 is mounted in a receptacle 11 of the sealing machine so as to be displaceable along its longitudinal axis 12 and rotatable about the longitudinal axis 12.
  • the receptacle 11 is in turn rotatably mounted in a holding device (not shown) of the sealing machine via receiving bearings (not shown).
  • first toothed ring 14 At the upper end of the receptacle 11 there is a first toothed ring 14 which, during operation, interacts with a second toothed ring (not shown) of the closing machine.
  • the receptacle 11 and the ejection device 10 can be set in their own rotation via the first toothed ring 14. The movement of the receptacle 11 and the ejection device 10 along the sliding profile 6, however, is generated via the holding device of the closing machine.
  • Fig. 5 shows the ejection device 10 with the ejection head 1 Fig. 3 operational.
  • the ejection head 1 slides with the rotating rolling element 5 along the sliding profile 6 of the sealing machine, which is connected to a sliding profile support 15 of the sealing machine.
  • the sliding profile 6 has two sections with an increased level.
  • One section with an increased level of the sliding profile 6 corresponds to the function of holding down the container, in which the container to be closed is held for the closing process by means of the ejection device and centered for the lid closure
  • the other section with an increased level of the sliding profile 6 corresponds to the function of container ejection , in which the closed container is ejected from the sealing machine by means of the ejection device.
  • the ejection head 1 While the container is being held down and the container is being ejected, the ejection head 1 is moved along the sliding profile 6 and can also rotate about the longitudinal axis 12 of the ejection device 10.
  • the rotating rolling element 5 performs a rolling movement on the sliding profile 6.
  • the rotating rolling body 5 can rotate freely relative to the carrier element 2 and thereby rotate about essentially two different axes. On the one hand, about the support axis 3. On the other hand, also about an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of movement and varies according to the direction of movement during the movement of the rotating rolling element 5 on the sliding profile 6.
