Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closer arrangement for closing a filled container with a container closure, for example for applying a roll-up closure to a container to be closed in a beverage filling plant.
  • Both the filling device and the closing device can be so-called rotary machines.
  • a rotary filler filler the individual filling elements are arranged on the periphery of a filler carousel, each filling element on the filler carousel forming a single filling point at which a container can be filled with the filling product per cycle.
  • the transport between the filler carousel and the rotary closer takes place via a transfer star, for example.
  • a closer carousel is provided, on the circumference of which closing elements are arranged which can each close a filled container with a container closure.
  • a filled container runs from the filler carousel to the closer carousel through a curved, for example also meander-shaped, conveying path which can have, for example, circular arc-shaped sections.
  • a curved, for example also meander-shaped, conveying path which can have, for example, circular arc-shaped sections.
  • one, two or more transfer stars can be provided here in order to overcome the transport path between the filler carousel and the closer carousel.
  • Closure types are known which can be configured differently depending on the geometric shape of the respective filled container and in particular its mouth area, as well as depending on the filling product.
  • crown corks are known which can be molded onto the mouth of a filled container.
  • Screw caps can be screwed onto an existing thread in the mouth area of a filled container.
  • Corks can be placed in the mouth of a filled container.
  • Roll-up closures for example in the form of a sleeve, are applied to an existing thread in the mouth area of a container and then formed onto the thread by rolling them up using a rolling device.
  • the filled containers are usually designed in a complex manner before they are introduced into the closer carousel Guide sets stabilized and aligned.
  • an inlet guide is usually designed in such a way that, by means of several guide sets arranged on different levels, an orientation of the containers to be closed is achieved in a predetermined manner, in order in this way to easily transfer the container closure to be applied to the container mouth and the corresponding closing of the Ensure the container with this container closure.
  • a closer arrangement for closing a filled container with a container closure, comprising a closure carousel with at least two closure members arranged on its periphery and in each case corresponding transport bags and an inlet guide for taking over the containers to be closed from an upstream transfer device and for transferring the containers to the Transport bags.
  • the inlet guide has an inlet area which tapers in the conveying direction.
  • the inlet guide has an inlet area which tapers in the conveying direction, incoming containers can in any case be safely guided in their neck area and then guided in an orientation preferred for applying the container closure.
  • the inlet area, which tapers in the conveying direction serves to center the bottle neck and align it in such a way that a container closure can be applied without any problems.
  • the inlet area, which tapers in the conveying direction can be designed quasi funnel-shaped so that the incoming container necks are aligned in the correct orientation.
  • the inlet guide preferably has a guide channel, the tapering inlet area being part of the guide channel.
  • the tapering inlet area preferably makes up only part of the guide channel, in particular only 5% to 20% of the length of the guide channel.
  • the larger part of the guide channel can thus be used for the aligned transport of the containers, so that the container closure can reliably be applied in this area.
  • the guide channel is particularly preferably formed between an inner guide disk and an outer guide disk.
  • the inner edges of the guide blanks pointing towards the guide channel are preferably contoured and in particular have a bevel.
  • the formation of the contouring enables particularly smooth transport of the containers in the inlet guide and in particular in the guide channel.
  • the guide channel at its entrance is preferably twice as wide as after the tapering in the conveying direction. In other words, there is a significant reduction in the width of the guide channel from the inlet area, so that, on the one hand, the containers fed in by means of the transfer star are reliably captured and, on the other hand, the containers then captured are quickly guided onto the desired transport path to achieve safe takeover of a container closure.
  • a closure feed is preferably provided for feeding container closures to the inlet guide and the tapering of the inlet area is completed, viewed in the conveying direction F, before a closure is transferred to a container to be closed.
  • the closure feed is preferably designed to supply closure sleeves for roll-up closures.
  • the inlet guide is preferably designed in such a way that it covers 50 ° to 90 ° of the conveying area of the upstream transfer star.
  • a particularly secure takeover of the container and a particularly gentle transfer of the container into the closer carousel can thus be achieved.
  • the inlet guide can be designed to be quickly exchangeable, preferably via a plug connection.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a closer arrangement 1 for closing a filled container (not shown here) with a container closure.
  • the closure arrangement 1 is provided schematically for applying a roll-up closure.
  • a closure sleeve is placed on the mouth of the container to be closed, for example by towing the closure sleeve from a closure feed.
  • the closure sleeve is by means of a Roll-up head molded onto the outer contour present at the mouth of the container to be closed.
  • the outer contour can be a thread, for example.
  • closure arrangement described herein can also be used for crown caps, among other things.
  • the closer arrangement 1 comprises a closer carousel 10, which has a transport star 12, which has transport pockets 14 on its periphery, into each of which a container to be closed can be inserted and is then transported with the rotation of the transport star 2 in the closer carousel 10.
  • Closing members not shown, but assigned to the respective transport bags 14, are provided in order to bring a container closure onto the filled container.
  • the transport star 12 rotates relative to stationary components 11 of the closer arrangement, which are connected, for example, to a base frame and which can carry further machine components not shown here at the top.
  • an inlet guide 2 is provided which takes over the containers, for example in their neck area, from the upstream transfer star and then the transport bags 14 feeds.
  • the inlet guide 2 has an inlet region 22 which tapers in the conveying direction, as is particularly evident in FIG Figures 2 and 3 can be seen.
  • the infeed guide 2 is formed by a guide disc 24 lying radially closer to the transport star 12 of the closer carousel 10 and an outer guide disc 26 correspondingly further outward from the transport star 12 of the closer carousel 10. Between the inner circular guide 24 and the outer circular guide 26, a guide channel 28 is formed accordingly, in which, for example, the container necks of the containers to be closed are guided.
  • the guide channel 28, which is formed between the inner circular guide 24 and the outer circular guide 26, has - apart from the inlet area 22 - a width which corresponds to the maximum expected diameter of the respective section of the filled container which is to be closed, whereby In addition, a narrow surcharge is granted in order to prevent containers from jamming in the guide channel 28.
  • the mentioned structure of the closer carousel 10 with the transport star 12, which has a plurality of transport pockets 14 on its periphery, is shown again.
  • the inlet guide 2 can also be seen, which has the inner circular guide 24 and the outer circular guide 26, which form the guide channel 28 between them.
  • a contouring is provided in each case, which can be designed, for example, in the form of a bevel.
  • This contouring can correspond to the shape of the filled container to be closed, which is guided in this area.
  • This contouring can, for example, be designed to correspond to the shoulder area of a bottle.
  • the tapering inlet area 22 can be seen particularly well.
  • the inlet area 22 tapers in the conveying direction F in such a way that at the entrance 20, at which the containers enter the guide channel 28, the guide channel 28 has a greater width than in all other sections of the guide channel 28 along the conveying direction F.
  • a closure feed (shown in the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5) is connected to the position symbolized by the elongated holes 30, by means of which a container closure is applied to the container necks that are correctly aligned and positioned in the guide channel 28 after passing through the inlet area 22 can.
  • such a closure feed can be connected, by means of which closures can be towed through the incoming container necks or container mouths, so that a container provided with a container closure or a container closure sleeve in this way is placed in a transport pocket 14 of the transport star 12 of the closer carousel enters.
  • a closure sleeve for a roll-up closure is transferred by means of a closure feed arranged in the elongated holes 30.
  • the closure sleeve is then closed on the container, which is received in a transport pocket 14 of the transport star 12 of the closure carousel 10, by means of a closure member with a container closure that is moved synchronously with the transport pockets, in particular the closure sleeve is rolled onto an outer contour of the container neck.
  • the closing elements are not shown in this view.
  • the closure feed can, for example, comprise a closure feed rail, not shown here, in which closures are held ready in a predetermined orientation, so that a container passing under the closure feed takes such a closure with it or tows it away.
  • inlet region 22 it can be seen that it has a shape that tapers in the conveying direction F.
  • An incoming container is accordingly centered and guided by the inlet area 22, which tapers in the conveying direction F, in such a way that, as soon as it passes the closure transfer, it can simply be provided with a closure, for example in the form of a closure sleeve, which then as soon as the container with the Closing sleeve is then transferred to the closing carousel 10, applied by means of the closing element, not shown, for example rolled up.
  • the closure arrangement 1 formed in this way accordingly enables the containers or the container necks to be safely taken over from the inlet 20 by means of the inlet area 22, which tapers in the conveying direction F, and then to be centered within the guide channel 28 so that the container closures are towed away at the closure feed takes place so easily and reliably that the subsequent closure process can safely take place on the closure carousel 12, in which, for example, a closure sleeve attached to the respective container can be rolled onto a prefabricated thread by means of a rolling tool.
  • the inlet guide 2 can furthermore be designed so that the containers and in particular the container necks are completely guided by means of the guide channel 28 until the containers are taken over into the respective transport pockets 14 of the transport star 12 of the closer carousel.
  • the containers are guided after being taken over by the transfer star until they are transferred to the respective sealing head or the transport bag 14 assigned to the respective sealing head.
  • the tapering inlet region 22 extends in the conveying direction F preferably only in a section of the guide channel 28 in which the transfer or towing of the respective container closures does not yet take place.
  • the tapering of the inlet area 22 is preferably completed before the closures or closure sleeves are taken over, so that at the point in time at which the container neck or the container mouth passes the respective closure feed, the container mouth is already completely aligned, so that a reliable transfer of the container closure, for example the closure sleeve, takes place on the container to be closed.
  • the closing carousel can furthermore have a lower transport star, not shown here, which additionally guides the containers to be closed in their abdominal area.
  • the containers stand, for example, on a transport plate.
  • the containers to be closed are guided both in their neck area by means of the transport star 12 and in their belly area by means of the lower transport star, with the containers standing on a transport plate.
  • an upstream transfer star which in conventional capper arrangements with complex guide sets, usually in three levels, i.e. two guide arrangements in the belly area and one guide arrangement in the neck area of the respective container to be transferred , was equipped, can be carried out more easily.
  • an upper guide plane for the container neck can be dispensed with, since the inlet area 22 of the inlet guide 2, which tapers in the conveying direction F, can be used to achieve a corresponding alignment of the containers to be closed entering the closer arrangement, which is sufficient for the closures can be reliably taken over and towed.
  • the inlet guide 2 is preferably designed in such a way that it guides the container conveyed by the transfer star approximately in a conveying range of 50 ° to 90 ° of the rotation of the transfer star.
  • the inlet area 22, which tapers in the conveying direction F, has only a relatively small portion over this conveying area, for example from 2 ° to 20 °.
  • the inlet guide can advantageously extend over an area of approximately 5% to 20% of the guide channel 28.
  • the tapering of the tapering inlet area 22 can be designed, for example, so that the width of the guide channel 28 at the inlet 20 of the guide channel 28 is approximately twice as wide as after the end of the tapering in the conveying direction F.
  • the inlet guide 2 can be changed quickly.
  • the inner circular guide 24 and / or the outer circular guide 26 can be exchanged quickly, for example to achieve an adaptation to a different type of container, which requires, for example, a differently dimensioned guide channel 28 and / or differently contoured inner edges 240, 260 in order to ensure gentle handling to reach the container.
  • the parts of the inlet guide are preferably attached to the closer arrangement 1 via plug connections, so that the replacement can preferably take place without tools
