Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for closing containers or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Container treatment machines in the form of devices for closing containers are well known from the prior art in various designs and are also referred to as container closing machines or seamers.
  • Such a device according to the preamble of claim 1 is from US 2,987,313 A known. Further closing devices are shown here US 3,309,838 A and the DE 195 23 659 C1 .
  • the present invention relates in particular to a device such as that which is used in the beverage industry and preferably has an output of more than 10,000 containers per hour, particularly preferably an output of 50,000 containers per hour.
  • cappers are used, for example, in beverage bottling systems and are usually arranged in the immediate vicinity of a corresponding filling station or filling machine in its direct connection, so that the freshly filled containers can be closed immediately after filling.
  • Closing devices of the type mentioned can be designed for closing bottles or other containers with screw caps or as so-called crown caps for closing bottles with corresponding crown caps as a container closure.
  • closing devices of a rotating design in which several container closing positions are formed on the circumference of a rotor driven around a vertical machine axis or central axis.
  • Each container closing position is assigned a closing element, which can also be understood as a closing tool or a closing stamp.
  • closing elements or closing tools of such closing devices can be moved axially between a raised and a lowered position along a vertical closing element axis by means of a lifting movement, this axial lifting movement also being understood as a delivery stroke.
  • This delivery stroke is usually generated by lifting curves, which are intended to control the height of the closing elements.
  • Examples of closing machines with stroke cam-controlled closing elements are from the DE 10 2017 112 218 B3 or from the WO 2010/118806 A2 known.
  • cappers are also known from the prior art, which generate the delivery stroke for each capping station separately by means of a drive motor that can be operated in a controlled and / or regulated manner, as is the case, for example, in the publication DE 10 2007 057 857 A1 has become known.
  • the closing elements When height is controlled by means of lifting cams, the closing elements are positively guided in the lifting cam, with the closing elements usually having connected rollers or rollers that run in a forced-guided manner on a guide surface of the lifting cam.
  • lubrication or roller lubrication in particular an application of lubricant, takes place in the area of the rollers and/or the guide surface of the lifting cam, since dry running of the rollers on lifting cams is currently not possible.
  • a closing tool arranged on a closing element applies a considerable force to the respective container closure, as a result of which the respective container closure is first brought into a sealing position with the container mouth that tightly closes the container interior from the environment. The container closure is then elastically and/or plastically deformed by the acting force in such a way that the closure retains the sealing effect even after the effect of the force has ended.
  • the closing element is pulled vertically upwards, whereby the closing tool is also separated from the container that has just been closed.
  • the container does not move together with the upwardly moving closing tool during separation, but remains essentially unchanged in height - i.e. fixed in position - in the position it already held during closing.
  • replaceable guide elements which act on or on at least one shoulder of the respective container and thus prevent vertical movement of the container when it is separated from the respective container and the closing tool - i.e. hold it in a fixed position.
  • the guide elements Since these guide elements interact directly with the shoulder of the respective container, the guide elements must be adapted very precisely to the outer contour of the container, which necessarily means that these guide elements when changing the container type or container format - to a different container with different external Dimensions - usually need to be replaced.
  • the object of the invention to provide a device for closing containers in which the guide elements can be easily adapted to different container types and/or container formats.
  • the invention relates to a device of a rotating type for closing containers or the like, having a plurality of closing stations arranged on the circumference of a gyroscope which can be driven in a motor-driven rotation around a vertical central axis of the device for closing the containers with a container closure, the gyro rotating in a rotating manner a stationary central column extending along the vertical machine axis is arranged, the closing stations rotating around the central column each having at least one lowering and lifting closing element and a container carrier provided below the respective closing element, which is used to hold a respective container in a standing and/or hanging manner is provided all around on the central column.
  • the present invention is characterized in particular in that at least one guiding and holding device is provided with at least two guide elements adapted to different container formats, which are rotatably arranged on the circumference of a base body of the guiding and holding device in such a way that at least one guide element is at least during the separation of the closure element from the container closed with a container closure can be brought into an engaged position with its respective container shoulder, while the at least one further guide element is in a non-engaged position.
  • the base body is designed to be rotatable through a defined angle of rotation in such a way that a guide element adapted to the container format to be processed can be brought from a non-engaged position into an engaged position.
  • the holding and guiding device is provided in an angular range between a container inlet and a container outlet of the device, in which the respective closing element is removed from a container closed with a container closure.
  • the angular range viewed in the transport direction, extends over the last 40% of the entire container treatment route between the container inlet and the container outlet.
  • the guiding and holding device has a holding element, by means of which the guiding and holding device is arranged in a stationary manner on the device.
  • the base body is star-shaped and has at least two guide elements adapted to the outer container geometry of the container shoulder on the circumference.
  • the plurality of guide elements are distributed at uniform or approximately uniform angular distances on the circumference of the base body.
  • the base body is arranged to be rotatable by a motor about an axis A.
  • the base body is connected to the axle in a rotationally fixed manner in the region of a first free end of the axle, while the axle is rotatably mounted on the holding element at its second free end opposite the first free end.
  • the guiding and holding device for a motor-assisted rotation of the base body has a stall drive, by means of which a regulated and/or controlled angular position of the base body can be approached.
  • the actuator is designed as a stepper motor, in particular as a servo motor.
  • the guiding and holding device has a locking device by means of which the base body can be held in a rotation-proof manner in defined rotation angle positions.
  • containers are understood to mean any container, in particular bottles, cans, cups, etc., each made of metal, glass and/or plastic, preferably made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
  • a “revolving type sealing machine” is a sealing machine with a rotating transport element, preferably a rotor, and with sealing stations formed on the transport element for sealing the containers or the like.
  • the expression “essentially” or “approximately” means deviations from the exact value by +/- 10%, preferably by +/- 5% and/or deviations in the form of changes that are insignificant for the function.
  • the device designated 1 is a closing device or closing machine of rotating design for closing containers 20 such as bottles or the like with a crown cap and / or screw cap as a container closure 21.
  • a closing device with a container closure 21 in the form of a so-called crown cork (cf. Figure 1 ) for example from the publication going back to the applicant DE 10 2018 124 874 A1 , or as a closing device with a container closure 21 designed as a screw cap (cf.
