Description

technical field

The present invention relates to a device for controlling a lifting position of a lifting element of a treatment unit for treating a container, for example for controlling the lifting position of a lifting element of a closing element for closing containers in a beverage bottling plant, a container treatment device and a method for setting a transition point of a control curve.

State of the art

It is known to specify a lifting position of a lifting element of a treatment unit by means of a control cam, also called a lifting cam. Lifting curves of this type are used in various machines in order to trigger a lifting movement of mechanical assemblies or parts, for example filling valves, bottle plates or capping heads.

Typically, a lift cam includes a one-piece or multi-piece ring with a milled curve. The lifting elements are engaged with or guided in the lifting curve by means of a guide element, for example a guide roller. By conveying the lifting element along the guide curve, a lifting level of the lifting element can be changed. This change in the lifting level corresponds to the lifting movement of the lifting element in the lifting direction, which is oriented transversely to the conveying direction along the cam. The course of a rigid lifting curve always remains the same. An adjustment of the start of the lifting movement, for example raising the lifting element to a higher lifting level, can only be accomplished by twisting the entire curve. However, this also adjusts the point at which a subsequently provided further stroke, for example a further raising or lowering of the lifting element, begins and subsequently ends. An individual setting of the beginning of a lifting movement in the conveying direction of the lifting element, in which the lifting element along the Control curve is funded, regardless of a spaced apart in the conveying direction further stroke movement is not possible with a fixed cam.

In order to be able to change the total stroke of the lifting elements, it is known to additionally equip a lifting cam with an additional segment that can be moved in the lifting direction, ie mostly in the vertical direction, such as from FIG DE 20 2015 103 890 U1 refer to. However, the beginning or the end of the lifting movement in the conveying direction cannot be adjusted individually.

Presentation of the invention

Based on the known prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved device for controlling a lifting position of a lifting element of a treatment unit for treating a container, preferably for controlling the lifting position of a lifting element of a closing element for closing containers in a beverage bottling plant, and a provide the appropriate procedure.

The object is achieved by a device for controlling a lifting position of a lifting element of a treatment unit for treating a container, preferably for controlling the lifting position of a lifting element of a closing element for closing containers in a beverage bottling plant, with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments result from the dependent claims, the description and the figures.

Accordingly, a device for controlling a lifting position of a lifting element of a treatment unit for treating a container, preferably for controlling the lifting position of a lifting element of a closing element for closing containers in a beverage bottling plant, is proposed, comprising a cam with a first control section arranged at a first lifting level for controlling of the lifting element at the first lifting level and a second control section arranged downstream of the first control section in the conveying direction and at a second lifting level that differs from the first lifting level, for controlling the lifting element at the second lifting level. The first control section is spaced from the second control section. Furthermore, a transition segment, which can be displaced relative to the first control section, is arranged between the first control section and the second control section to provide a transition from the first control section to the second control section.

Because the first control section is spaced apart from the second control section and a transition segment that is displaceable relative to the first control section is arranged between the first control section and the second control section for providing a transition from the first control section to the second control section, it is possible to at which viewed in the conveying direction begins a lifting movement, can be set individually and independently of the rest of the control curve. Thus, a container treatment device having the device can be adapted particularly precisely to the treatment of the type of container to be treated.

Accordingly, a container treatment device that is provided for treating different types of containers can be adapted to the type of container to be treated, so that, for example, the start of lifting movements of the treatment units provided for the treatment in relation to the conveying direction of the containers through the treatment device, which also corresponds to the conveying direction of the Lifting elements corresponds to the requirements resulting from the type of container to be treated, for example with regard to its dimensions, are set particularly precisely.

A transition from the first lift level to the second lift level can accordingly be provided by means of the transition segment. Preferably, the transition segment is configured to provide a gradual transition from the first level of lift to the second level of lift. In other words, the transition segment is preferably designed in such a way that there are no jumps in the course of the stroke in the transition from the first stroke level to the second stroke level. The transition preferably has a course in the sense of a mathematically continuous function, the course therefore preferably represents a continuous curve or continuous curve profile, preferably without sudden jumps in gradient.

The transition segment is preferably designed to be displaceable in a predetermined displacement direction, preferably held displaceably on the cam.

The displacement direction preferably corresponds to the conveying direction. Consequently, the transition segment can be designed to be displaceable in the conveying direction. In this way, the lifting element can be guided with particular precision by the cam, particularly in the area of the transition segment.

“Slidable” is understood to mean a displacement in two opposite directions. Correspondingly, “shifting in the conveying direction” includes both shifting in the conveying direction and against the conveying direction. In other words, the transition segment can be moved on both sides, i.e. “back and forth”, preferably along a direction that is preferably predetermined by the conveying direction, the displacement direction.

The advantages of the invention come into play in particular when the conveying direction is a circular movement or a linear movement.

The conveying direction essentially corresponds to the design of the cam and vice versa. In most cases, the conveying direction is predetermined by a transport unit of the container treatment unit, for example a treatment carousel, on which the treatment unit and possibly an additional container holder or container receptacle are arranged.

The cam is preferably designed to be essentially stationary. It is therefore not part of components rotating in the conveying direction, for example a carousel. For this purpose, the cam can be firmly connected to a frame. The frame can be a separate frame or can be provided in the form of a base frame of the container treatment unit. The term "stationary" is to be understood in particular as referring to the conveying direction.

The stationary cam can be designed to be adjustable in height transversely to the conveying direction, for example in the direction of the lifting movement.

In order to enable the transition segment to be displaced between the first control section and the second control section, the transition segment can be made shorter in its displacement direction, which preferably corresponds to the conveying direction, than a distance extending in the displacement direction between the first and the second control section.

The cam preferably includes a window between the first control section and the second control section, in which the transition segment is held displaceably. In order to provide the displaceability, the transition segment is designed to be shorter than the window in the direction of displacement, which preferably corresponds to the conveying direction.

The amount of the difference between the distance between the first control section and the second control section in the direction of displacement or the length of the window and the length of the Transition segment in the direction of displacement preferably corresponds essentially to the amount by which the transition segment can be displaced.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the transition segment comprises a transition section for providing the transition from the first height level to the second height level, with the transition segment preferably comprising an inlet section essentially having the first height level and/or an outlet section essentially having the second height level, wherein the Transition section is preferably arranged in the conveying direction between the inlet section and outlet section. Correspondingly, the lifting element can be gently conveyed onto the transition segment and/or conveyed away from it again.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the transition segment has an inlet overlap part which overlaps in the conveying direction with an overlap segment of the first control section, the inlet overlap part preferably being arranged in the inlet section.

Alternatively or additionally, the transition segment can have an outlet overlap part which overlaps in the conveying direction with an overlap segment of the second control section, the outlet overlap part preferably being arranged in the outlet section.

The overlapping part is basically not limited in shape. For example, it can be designed in the form of an overlapping arm. Alternatively or additionally, it can also be wedge-shaped or finger-shaped.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a drive unit is provided for specifying the position of the transition segment seen in the conveying direction, the drive unit preferably being a manual drive unit or an automatic drive unit, which preferably has a motor, preferably a servomotor.

The drive unit preferably comprises an eccentric element arranged eccentrically to an axis of rotation of the drive unit so that it can be pivoted and/or rotated about the latter, the eccentric element preferably engaging with an elongated hole arranged in the transition segment perpendicular to the conveying direction.

In order to be able to set the position of the transition segment and accordingly the start of the transition provided by the transition segment from the first lifting level to the second lifting level, a control/regulating device for controlling/regulating the drive unit can preferably be provided.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a coherent control part of the control curve comprises the first control section and the second control section. In other words, the cam includes at least one control part, which has the first control section and the second control section. Preferably, the control member has a pocket between the first control section and the second control section for receiving the transition segment. The pocket can represent or form the window mentioned above.

The control part is also preferably designed in one piece and/or even in one piece. “In one piece” is understood here to mean that the control part is formed from a plurality of components which are firmly connected to one another, so that a firmly coherent, jointly formed component is formed. By "integral" is meant that the part is made in one piece.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the cam comprises a control groove or a control rail for guiding the control element, wherein the control groove or the control rail comprises the first control section, the second control section and the transition segment.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the control cam comprises a plurality of transition segments, the transition segments being arranged at a distance from one another as seen in the conveying direction. Each of the transition segments is slidably arranged between a respective first control section upstream of this transition segment and a respective second control section downstream of this transition segment. In this case, a second control section of a first transition segment can at the same time be the first control section of a transition segment that follows the first transition segment.

The object set above is also achieved by a container treatment device having the features of claim 10 . Advantageous developments result from the dependent claims and the present description and the figures.

Accordingly, a container treatment device is proposed, which comprises a treatment unit, which can be moved in a conveying direction, for treating a container, preferably a beverage container, in a beverage bottling plant. Furthermore, the container treatment device comprises a device according to one of the above embodiments for specifying the height position of the treatment unit transversely to the conveying direction.

Because the container treatment device includes a device according to one of the above embodiments for specifying the height position of the treatment unit transversely to the conveying direction, the advantages and effects described with regard to the device can also be achieved in an analogous manner by the container treatment device, and vice versa.

The lifting element is preferably assigned to the treatment unit. Accordingly, the height level of the lifting element specifies the position of the treatment unit in the lifting direction.

According to a preferred embodiment, the treatment unit is designed to fill a container and/or to close a container.

Furthermore, the treatment unit can preferably be assigned a container holder for holding a container to be treated, preferably in such a way that the container holder moves in the conveying direction simultaneously with the treatment unit, with the treatment unit and the container holder preferably being designed to be movable relative to one another transversely to the conveying direction, preferably in the lifting direction .

The treatment unit is preferably designed to transport a container in the conveying direction.

The object set above is also achieved by a method for setting a transition point of a control curve with the features of claim 13. Advantageous developments of the method result from the dependent claims and the present description and the figures.

Accordingly, a method is proposed for setting a transition point of a control curve between a first control section arranged at a first lift level for controlling a lifting element at the first lift level and the first control section second control section downstream in the conveying direction and arranged at a second lift level that differs from the first lift level, for controlling the lifting element at the second lift level, the first control section being spaced apart from the second control section, comprising shifting one between the first control section and the second control section relatively transition segment arranged to be slidable relative to the first control section for providing a transition from the first control section to the second control section.

The advantages and effects described with regard to the device can be achieved in an analogous manner by the method.

Detailed description of preferred embodiments

Preferred exemplary embodiments are described below with reference to the figures. Elements that are the same, similar or have the same effect are provided with identical reference symbols in the different figures, and a repeated description of these elements is sometimes dispensed with in order to avoid redundancies.

figure 1 shows a schematic side view of a device 1 for controlling a lifting position of a lifting element 3, here optionally designed to control the lifting position of a lifting element 3 of a closing element for closing containers in a beverage bottling plant.

The device 1 comprises a control cam 2 with a first control section 5 arranged at a first lifting level 4 for controlling the lifting element 3 at a first lifting level 4 and a second control section 7 arranged downstream of the first control section 5 in the conveying direction 9 and arranged at a second lifting level 6 for controlling the Lifting element 3 on the second lift level 6, which differs from the first lift level 4.

In the present case, the lifting element 3 is designed in the form of a guide roller guided by the cam 2 . By changing the lifting level of the lifting element 3, a lifting movement 10 can be specified via a connecting element of the treatment unit.

The first control section 5 is spaced apart from the second control section 7 in the conveying direction 9 . Between the first control section 5 and the second control section 7, in a window 11 arranged between the control sections 5, 7, there is a transition segment 8 that can be displaced relative to the first control section 5 and therefore also to the second control section 7 in a displacement direction 12 for providing a transition from the first control section 5 arranged on the second control section 7 . Correspondingly, the transition segment 8 provides a transition from the first height level 4 to the second height level 6 for the lifting element 3 .

In the present case, the transition segment 8 can be displaced in the conveying direction 9 , so that the displacement direction 12 corresponds to the conveying direction 9 .

The transition segment 8 is shorter in the conveying direction 9 (thus in the displacement direction 12) than a distance 13 extending in the conveying direction 9 between the first control section 5 and the second control section 7.

Viewed in the displacement direction 12 in a central area, the transition segment 8 comprises a transition section 14 for providing the transition from the first height level 4 to the second height level 6. On the side of the first control section 5, the transition segment 8 has an inlet section 15 essentially having the first height level 4. Opposite this, on the side of the second control section 7 , the transition segment 8 has an outlet section 16 which is essentially at the second height level 6 . Correspondingly, the transition section 14 is arranged between the inlet section 15 and the outlet section 16 .

The transition segment 8 has an inlet overlap part 17 which overlaps with an overlap segment 18 of the first control section 5 in the conveying direction 9 , the inlet overlap part 17 being formed in the inlet section 15 . Analogously, the transition segment 8 has an outlet overlap part 19 which overlaps with an overlap segment 20 of the second control section 7 in the conveying direction 9 , with the outlet overlap part 19 being arranged in the outlet section 16 .

figure 2 FIG. 12 shows schematically a view from below of the device 1. FIG figure 1 . The overlapping in the conveying direction 9 of the inlet overlapping part 17 with the overlapping segment 18, forming a first overlap length 21, and the overlapping in the conveying direction 9 of the outlet overlapping part 19 with the overlapping segment 20, forming a second overlap length 22, can be clearly seen.

The amount of the difference between the distance 13 between the first control section 5 and the second control section 7 in the displacement direction 12 and the length 23 of the transition segment 8 in the displacement direction 12 essentially corresponds to the amount by which the transition segment 8 can be displaced. This difference is made up of the in figure 2 components 24 and 25 shown together.

The inlet overlapping part 17 and the outlet overlapping part 19 each have a predetermined length 26 in the displacement direction 12, which is equal to or greater than the aforementioned difference by a predetermined value. The length 26 is correspondingly greater than the sum of the components 24 and 25

Overlap between the overlapping segment 8 and the control sections 5, 7 can be provided.

From the Figures 3 and 4 1 schematically shows a further side view and a further plan view of the device 1 figure 1 to be taken, the transition segment 8 compared to figure 1 has been shifted by a predetermined displacement 27 counter to the sense of the conveying direction 9 . Correspondingly, the transition section 14 and thus the start 28 and the end 29 of the transition from the first height level 4 to the second height level 6 are shifted by the displacement 28 in comparison to their position in the conveying direction 9 against the direction of conveyance. Correspondingly, the transition starts earlier than at the position of the transition segment 8 in figure 1 .

figure 5 shows schematically a plan view of a device 1 for controlling a lifting position of a lifting element 3 according to a further embodiment, which is essentially that of FIGS Figures 1 to 4 is equivalent to. In the present case, the device 1 is designed for a treatment device in a rotary design, in which the conveying direction 9 is a circular movement. Correspondingly, the cam 2 is related to a plane oriented perpendicularly to the lifting movement direction 10, which is the plane of the top view in figure 5 corresponds, is formed in the form of a circular curve. The cam 2 is designed as a stationary cam 2 .

The transition segment 8 is formed like a segment of a circle. Its length in the conveying direction 9 is shorter than the length of the window 11 in which it can be displaced between the first control section 5 and the second control section 7 .

figure 6 FIG. 12 schematically shows a top view of a transition segment 8 of the device 1. FIG figure 5 . The transition segment 8 comprises a slot 28 oriented substantially perpendicularly to the direction of displacement 12 for receiving an eccentric element (see FIG Figures 7 and 8 , reference number 30 there). In addition, the transition segment comprises two elongated guide holes 29 oriented essentially in the direction of displacement 12 , via which the transition element 8 is guided relative to the cam 2 .

Out of figure 7 1 is a schematic sectional view through the device 1. FIG figure 5 along the longitudinal extent of the slot 28, and therefore perpendicular to the direction of displacement 12, to be found.

The device 1 off figure 5 includes a drive unit 31 for specifying the position of the transition segment 8 in the conveying direction 9, which is designed as an automatic drive unit 31. It comprises a servomotor 32 and an eccentric element 30 arranged eccentrically to an axis of rotation 33 of the drive unit 31 so as to be rotatable about the latter, the eccentric element 30 engaging with the slot 28 arranged perpendicularly to the conveying direction 9 in the transition segment 8 .

Device 1 includes a control/regulating device 34 for controlling/regulating servomotor 32 of drive unit 31.

figure 8 FIG. 12 schematically shows a view from below of the drive unit 31 of the device 1. FIG figure 5 , in which the eccentricity of the eccentric element 30 with respect to the axis of rotation 33 is illustrated.

Out of figure 9 A schematic perspective side view of a device 1 for controlling a lifting position of a lifting element 3 according to a further embodiment can be seen. The device 1 essentially corresponds to that of FIG figure 5 .

In the present case, the control curve 2 is provided by a coherent control part 35 which forms the first control section 5 and the second control section 7 , the control part 35 having a pocket 36 between the first control section 5 and the second control section 7 for receiving the transition segment 8 .

The control part 35 is formed in one piece.

The cam 2 is formed in the control part 35 by a control groove 37 for guiding the lifting element 3 .

figure 10 shows schematically a container treatment device 40 in a beverage bottling plant, which a device 1 according to Figures 1 to 4 , further in a conveying direction 9 movable treatment units 41 for treating a container 42, in this case a beverage container 42, and a plurality of container holders 43 for holding a container 42 to be treated. In this case, a container holder 43 is assigned to a treatment unit 41 in such a way that the container holders 43 move in the conveying direction 9 simultaneously with the treatment units 41 .

In order to enable the treatment, the treatment units 41 and the container holders 43 are each designed to be movable relative to one another transversely to the conveying direction 9 .

In the present case, this relative movement is realized in that treatment units 41 are movable in the direction of the lifting movement 10 . The position of the treatment units 41 is predetermined by a lifting element 3 which is coupled to them and is guided along the cam 12 .

As far as applicable, all individual features that are presented in the exemplary embodiments can be combined with one another and/or exchanged without departing from the scope of the invention.
