Definitions
- Device for guiding containers and/or containers and method for automatically controlling the device
- the invention relates to a device for guiding containers and/or containers and a method for automatically controlling the device.
- the transport lanes have railings with railing guides, roller conveyors or guide plates that extend to the side of the transport lanes along the transport direction.
- the guide plates can z. B. be suspended over a conveyor belt. When changing the type of container or container, it may be necessary to adjust the aisle width due to different width dimensions. The guide plates are therefore suspended so that they can be adjusted transversely to the transport direction.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for guiding containers and/or containers in which the risk of injury during adjustment is reduced.
- a device for guiding containers and/or containers along a transport direction comprising at least one railing with at least two guide elements extending in the transport direction, which are arranged at a distance from one another transversely to the transport direction, and at least one adjusting device for adjusting the distance between the at least two guide elements, wherein the adjusting device is designed for adjusting at least a first guide element of the at least two guide elements and at least the first guide element is fastened to the adjusting device via at least one connecting element
- the connecting element is divided by at least one stiffenable joint, wherein the Joint has a stiffening state in which the joint is stiffened, and a mobility state in which the joint is movable, the first guide element being pivotable about the joint in the mobility state of the joint relative to the adjusting device transversely to the transport direction.
- the invention thus provides a device for guiding containers and/or containers, in which crushing injuries are avoided when the guide elements become blocked. This means that monitoring the adjustment of the distance between the guide elements is no longer absolutely necessary. At least one of the two guide elements between which the distance is to be adjusted transversely to the transport direction has a stiffenable joint on the connecting element. The distance is then preferably adjusted simply by adjusting this guide element. Further preferably, each guide element that is moved for the adjustment has a joint. The connecting element of the guide element is divided by the joint. The two parts of the connecting element can be used against each other due to the joint about a joint axis.
- the stiffenable joint has at least two states. In a state of stiffness, the joint cannot be flexed. Pivoting of the guide element around the joint is not possible in the stiffening state. In a state of mobility can the joint is flexed. In the state of mobility, the guide element can be pivoted around the joint transversely to the transport direction.
- the guide element can avoid the object or body part by pivoting about the joint transversely to the transport direction. Crushing or clamping of objects by the guide element is thus avoided during adjustment, so that supervision during adjustment can in principle be dispensed with.
- the adjusting device can be arranged, for example, above the guide elements on a bridge.
- the bridge can be oriented transversely to the transport direction, wherein the at least one guide element can be movable along the bridge.
- the bridge can be supported at its end sections on the side of the guide elements.
- the adjusting device can move several guide elements, preferably each by means of its own adjusting drive.
- An adjustment drive can e.g. B. have a linear motor that is mounted on the bridge and can move along the bridge.
- several guide elements can be connected to the adjusting device via a joint.
- a connecting element can therefore also connect several guide elements to the adjusting device.
- the guide elements can then z. B. be arranged one after the other along the transport direction.
- the guide elements can be, for example, lane plates, which are arranged to hang freely on the connecting elements, for example.
- the device can preferably have a conveyor belt, with the guide elements hanging above the conveyor belt, e.g. B. can be arranged on the bridge described above.
- the device can be part of a system for producing, treating, filling, etc. of containers.
- the device can be designed to transport containers, although the transport of containers or other objects should not be excluded.
- the joint can only be changed from the mobility state to the stiffening state in a stretched state.
- the joint cannot change to the stiffening state. Forces that act laterally on the guide element can then further cause the guide element to pivot. Furthermore, it can be avoided that the guide element remains in a wasted state.
- a warning signal can be triggered to cause the object to be removed. Furthermore, a resumption of operation of the device can then be delayed until the joint has been changed to a stretched state.
- the device can have a clamping element on the joint for stiffening the joint, wherein the clamping element can be changed between a first functional position in which the clamping element stiffens the joint and a second functional position in which the clamping element releases the joint.
- the joint can be stiffened by means of the clamping element, although in other exemplary embodiments the joint can be stiffened in a different way.
- the change between the two functional positions of the clamping element can be done by moving the clamping element or changing the orientation of the clamping element.
- the clamping element can be designed, for example, as a sleeve or linear bushing and encloses the joint in the first functional position.
- the clamping element In the first functional position, the clamping element can extend from one part of the split connecting element to the other part of the split connecting element.
- the clamping element can thus prevent the second part of the connecting element from pivoting against the first part of the connecting element through positive locking.
- the second part can thus be locked in the first functional position of the clamping element.
- the joint is enclosed by the clamping element and cannot be bent.
- the sleeve can, for example, be attached to a console guide using two locking rings and a spacer ring.
- the console guide can have an elongated hole that extends transversely to the transport direction.
- the clamping element can be operatively connected to at least one drive, with the clamping element being movable along the connecting element for changing between the first and second functional positions by means of the drive.
- the drive can move the clamping element along the connecting element, e.g. B. over the joint to change the clamping element to the first functional position, or away from the joint to change the clamping element to the second functional position.
- the clamping element can be slidably mounted on a guide rail transversely to the transport direction and to the connecting element, the guide rail extending transversely to the transport direction and to the connecting element and being movable along the connecting element.
- the guide rail can be the console guide described above. Furthermore, a guide rail drive can move the guide rail along the connecting element. When the connecting element or the guide element moves transversely to the transport direction, the clamping element can be in the Slide the guide rail transversely to the transport direction and to the connecting element in the guide rail.
- a guide rail drive can drive several clamping elements simultaneously when changing between the first and second functional positions. These clamping elements can be connected to one another via the guide rail, whereby they are movable to one another transversely to the transport direction.
- the guide rail along the connecting element z. B. move with a force in the range of 1 N to 119 N.
- the guide rail drive can be, for example, pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, magnetic or mechanical.
- the device can have a restoring element, in particular a spring element, wherein the restoring element drives the clamping element into the second functional position by means of a restoring force.
- a counterforce must be actively brought about against the restoring force of the restoring element when changing to the first functional position, whereby the counterforce must be greater than the restoring force. If there is no counterforce, e.g. B. in the event of a power failure, the clamping element is automatically changed to the second functional position. This makes it possible to provide a failsafe mode in which the stiffenable joint is movable.
- the restoring forces of the restoring element can z. B. in the range from 1 N to 119 N.
- the restoring element can also be attached, for example, to the guide rail and to a bridge described above.
- the bridge can be a rail of the adjustment device.
- the device can have at least one first sensor element for detecting the stiffening state of the joint and/or have at least one second sensor element for detecting the mobility state of the joint.
- Full automation can be supported with the first and/or second sensor element, so that it can now be recognized whether the stiffening state or the mobility state has been reached. If one of the two states is not achieved, a warning signal can be issued, e.g. B. an inspection by operating personnel can be requested.
- a sensor element can be designed as a limit switch for the clamping element.
- Other sensor elements can e.g. B. determine a flexion of the joint or a position of the guide rail described above or of the pivotable second part of the connecting element.
- the device can have a control unit for controlling the device, wherein the control unit is designed to monitor the stiffening state and/or the mobility state for receiving sensor signals of at least one sensor element.
- the device can be adjusted fully automatically using the control unit.
- the adjustment of the distance between the guide elements can be carried out fully automatically. So the device can z. B. can be adjusted in areas as soon as the corresponding areas no longer contain any containers to be transported. There is no longer any need to wait for operating personnel to carry out the adjustment.
- the connecting element can be designed as a rod which extends between the guide element and the adjusting device.
- the device can have a housing that encloses the at least one adjustment device, wherein the at least one Joint is arranged within the housing and the at least one connecting element extends from the housing to the guide element through an elongated hole extending transversely to the transport direction.
- clamping elements described above can also be arranged within the housing.
- the change of the joint between the stiffening state and the mobility state can therefore take place in an environment protected by the housing. This further reduces the risk of injury.
- the elongated hole can preferably have a brush as protection against encroachment in order to further reduce the risk of injury.
- the joint can be designed as a swivel joint, a spring joint, a solid-state joint, a ball joint, a locking joint or a cardan joint.
- the joint has a tube that is filled with a fluid.
- the hose can be switched between the stiffening state and the flexible state.
- the joint can have an axle, in particular a pin, which is attached to a first part of the connecting element, with a second part of the connecting element, which is attached to the guide element, being pivotally mounted on the axle.
- the axle can be attached to the second part, with the axle being rotatably mounted on the first part.
- a swivel joint can, for. B. be a joint that has a pin that can be moved linearly along the connecting element in an elongated hole in the first part.
- the stiffening state and the mobility state are obtained by contracting and spacing the two parts of the connecting element, respectively. By pulling together, the parts are placed together and can no longer move against each other. The contraction can be actively effected by applying force. If the force is removed, the two parts are spaced apart and the joint is in a state of mobility.
- the joint is a locking joint, it may, for example, have two disks, with one disk attached to the first part and the other to the second part.
- the disks can be connected to one another via an axis of rotation and have teeth on the sides facing each other. When the locking disk is compressed, stiffening occurs. Otherwise one disc can be twisted against the other.
- a clamping element described above can press the disks together in the first functional position.
- a spring can push the two discs apart when the clamping element is in the second functional position.
- the invention further relates to a method for automatically controlling a device according to the preceding description, the method having at least the following steps: changing the joint into the mobility state; Adjusting the distance between the at least two guide elements by moving at least the first guide element transversely to the transport direction by means of the adjusting device when the joint is in the mobility state; and changing the joint to the stiffening state after adjusting the distance.
- the device may have a first and a second sensor element as described above and the method may further comprise one of the following steps: checking whether the joint reaches the mobility state when changing to the mobility state; and/or check whether the joint reaches the stiffening state when changing to the stiffening state.
- the method can further comprise the following steps: detecting a format change by receiving a format change signal and stopping a container or container feed into the device; Determining the required distance between the guide elements; Determine whether at least one area of the device is free of containers and/or containers; Performing the steps as described above for the at least one area.

- the guide elements 16 are attached to connecting elements 22 and are freely suspended above a conveyor belt 13. Furthermore, the guide elements 16 are arranged transversely to the transport direction 12 at a distance 18 from one another. The distance 18 determines the maximum width of the container or container that can be guided along the transport direction 12 through the guide elements 16.
- the device 10 also has an adjusting device 19 for adjusting the distance 18 between the guide elements 16.
- the adjusting device 19 can be arranged at least partially in a housing 32 to protect against injuries. Outside the housing 32, adjusting drives 21 of the adjusting device 19 are arranged in FIG. 1a.

- the second part 25 can be used with the guide element 16 around the stiffenable joint 24 when the stiffenable joint 24 is in the state of mobility, as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 3 further shows that the joints 24 allow the guide elements 16 to be pivoted transversely to the transport direction 12.
- the transport direction 12 is marked in Figure 3 as a top view of an arrowhead.
- the guide elements 16 If the guide elements 16 encounter an obstacle when adjusting the distance 18, the guide elements 16 pivot transversely to the transport direction 12 relative to the moving adjustment device 19.
- the first part 23 of the Connecting element 22 is moved further by the adjusting device 19, while the second part 25 of the connecting element is pivoted about the joint 24.
- the object, in particular body parts of operating personnel, which is arranged in the movement path of the adjusted guide element 16, is therefore not crushed.
- the guide element 16 can thus carry out an evasive movement.
- the stiffenable joint 24 is changed to the stiffening state. In the stiffening state, the guide element 16 cannot pivot about the joint 24.
- Figures 4a and 4b show the stiffening state and the mobility state of an exemplary embodiment of the stiffenable joint 24.
- the joint 24 is designed as a swivel joint in this exemplary embodiment.
- a clamping element 26, which can be designed as a sleeve, can be arranged on the joint 24.
- the clamping element 26 can be designed to be movable along the connecting element 22.
- the clamping element 26 extends from the first part 23 over the joint 24 to the second part 25 of the connecting element 22, so that the joint 24 cannot be bent.
- 4a shows the first functional position in which the clamping element 26 stiffens the joint 24.
- the clamping element 26 surrounds the joint 24 and fixes the second part 25 relative to the first part 23 of the connecting element 22. The joint 24 is then in the stiffening state.
- Figure 4b the clamping element 26 is arranged above the joint 24 on the connecting element 22, the joint 24 being free of the clamping element 26.
- Figure 4b shows the second functional position in which the clamping element 26 releases the joint 24. The joint 24 is then in a state of mobility.
- the clamping element 26 can have at least one locking ring 27 on a guide rail 30, e.g. B. a take-along console.
- the clamping element 26 has two locking rings 27, which are spaced apart from one another by means of a spacer ring 29.
- the clamping element 26 can only switch between the first functional position and the second functional position when the joint 24 is stretched, i.e. H. the first part 23 and the second part 25 are arranged in a line.
- the clamping element 24 in this exemplary embodiment cannot change from the first functional position to the second functional position.
- FIGs 5a and 5b the two functional states of the clamping element 26 are shown in a three-dimensional schematic representation.
- the clamping element 26 bridges the joint 24 and connects the two parts 23, 25.
- Figures 6a to 6d show a further exemplary embodiment of the stiffenable joint 24.
- the joint 24 has a pin 42, which can be attached to the second part 25 of the connecting element 22 in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the pin 42 is slidably mounted in an elongated hole 44 as shown in FIG. 6a.
- the elongated hole 44 is arranged on the first part 23 of the connecting element 22.
- the pin 42 can also be arranged on the first part 23 and the elongated hole 44 on the second part 25.
- Figure 6b shows a side view of Figure 6a.
- the joint 24 is shown here in the mobility state.
- the second part 25 of the connecting element 22 can be pivoted relative to the first part 23 about the stiffenable joint 24.
- FIGS. 6c and 6d The stiffening state of the joint 24 is shown in FIGS. 6c and 6d.
- the second part 25 is moved to the first part 23. In this exemplary embodiment, this can be done by lifting the second part 25.
- the pin 42 is guided along the elongated hole 44 closer to the first part 23.
- Figure 6d shows a side view of Figure 6c.
- the end faces of the parts 23, 25 lie against one another. Due to the contact of the end faces, pivoting of the second part 25 around the joint 24 is prevented by a positive fit.
- the joint 24 is therefore in a stiffening state.
- the lifting of the second part 25 can be done actively, whereby force must be actively applied for the lifting. If the force fails, the second part 25 is automatically dropped. This makes it possible to provide a fail-safe mechanism that transfers the joint 24 into the mobility state in the event of a failure of the active force.

- the double arrow shown shows the possible pivoting direction of the second part 25 when the joint 24 is in the mobility state.
- Figure 7b shows a side view of the joint 24.
- the locking disk 46 shown in Figure 7a is connected to a further locking disk 50 via an axis 47.
- Locking disk 46 is attached to the first part 23.
- Locking disk 50 is attached to the second part 25 and can be rotated about the axis 47 relative to the locking disk 46.
- Both locking disks 46, 50 both have toothed surfaces 48, 51 which face one another. In the stiffening state, the locking disks 46, 50 are pushed towards one another along the axis 47 and the toothed surfaces 48, 51 engage with one another. A rotation of the locking disk 50 against the locking disk 46 is thereby blocked.
- Spring elements 53 can be arranged between the locking disks 46, 50, which in the stiffening state act a force that drives the locking disks 46, 50 apart along the axis 47.
- the toothed surfaces 48, 51 separated from each other and the joint 24 is in a state of mobility.
- a force must be actively applied against the spring force. This can e.g. B. by pushing a sleeve over the joint 24.
- the joint 24 can be designed as a swivel joint, a spring joint, a solid-state joint, a ball joint, a locking joint or a cardan joint.
- FIGS. 8a to 8c A large number of connecting elements 22 with joints 24 are shown in FIGS. 8a to 8c.
- the joints 24 are, among other things, designed according to Figures 4a to 5b.
- the clamping elements 26 are mounted in guide rails 30 in such a way that the guide rails 30 take the clamping elements 26 with them when they move along the connecting elements 22.
- a drive 28 can move the guide rails 30 in a direction along the connecting elements 22.
- the clamping elements 26 carried by the guide rail 30 are therefore operatively connected to the drive 28, the drive 28 being able to change these clamping elements 26 between the first and second functional positions.
- the drive 28 can z. B. have at least one, in particular, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic short-stroke cylinder
- the drive 28 can be designed to be retroactive on one side. Then the drive 28 can only change the clamping elements 26 from the second to the first functional position.
- At least one restoring element 56 can be provided, which acts a restoring force.
- the restoring force can lift the guide rail 30 and thus change the clamping elements 26 into the second functional position in order to release the joints 24.
- the drive 28 must therefore act against the restoring force in order to lower the guide rail 30 and bring the clamping elements 26 into the first functional position.
- the restoring element 56 can be fastened with one end section to the guide rail 30 and with an opposite end section to a bridge element 39, which is mounted on holding elements 38 which support the bridge element 39 on the floor.
- the adjusting device 19 can also be attached to the holding elements 38.
- the clamping elements 26 can therefore be automatically changed to the second functional position, so that the joints 24 are in a state of mobility.
- the clamping elements 26 are movably mounted along second openings 31 transversely to the direction of extension of the connecting elements 22 and transversely to the transport direction 12, as shown in FIG. 8c.
- the second openings 31 can be designed as elongated holes.

- the device 10 can have a second sensor element 54 to monitor the mobility state.
- the second sensor element 54 can also be a limit switch that switches when the clamping element 26 has reached the second functional position.
- the second sensor element 54 can also, for. B. be arranged on the drive 28 and switch when the drive 52 has reached a corresponding position.
- the sensor signals of the first and second sensor elements 52, 54 can be received and evaluated by the control unit 40.
- the control unit 40 can control the adjusting device 19, for example. B. only instruct to carry out an adjustment of the distance 18 when the second sensor element 54 transmits a second sensor signal. Likewise, the control unit 40 can control the device 10 z. B. only instruct to resume transport operation when the first sensor element 52 transmits a first sensor signal. If one of the sensor signals is missing, the control unit 40 can issue a warning signal to request an inspection by operating personnel.
- Additional sensor elements can be provided.
- a further sensor element (not shown) can be provided to detect containers or containers in an area 58, 60, 62, 64, 66 of the device 10.
- the adjustment devices 19 arranged in the corresponding areas 58-66 can be controlled separately by the control unit 40 when the other sensor elements output signals that indicate that these areas are empty.
- Other sensor elements can e.g. B. indicate a format change of the containers or containers to be transported.
- the control unit 40 can then be further designed to carry out a method 100 for automatically controlling the device 10.
- step 112 it can first be determined whether a format change should take place. This is done by receiving a format change signal.
- the format change signal can be generated by a sensor element or initiated manually by operating personnel.
- step 112 the supply of containers or containers into the device 10 is stopped. Stopping can be done actively, e.g. B. by shutting down means of transport. Alternatively, stopping can also be done passively, for example B. the influx of containers or containers stops anyway due to the format change.
- the required distance 18 between the guide elements 16 for the containers or containers can be determined. This can also be done by sensor signals or by input from operating personnel.
- step 116 it can be determined whether an area 58 - 66 is free of containers or containers. This determination can also be done using sensor signals as already described above.
- the stiffenable joint 24 is changed to the mobility state in the corresponding area 58 - 66 in a step 102. This can be done as described above.
- step 108 it can be checked during and after step 102 whether the joint 24 reaches the mobility state. This can be done e.g. B. the second sensor element 54 can be used, which outputs a second sensor signal when the mobility state is reached.
- the distance 18 can then be adjusted in a further step 104. This is done using the adjusting device 19.
- the joint 24 can be changed to the stiffening state in a further step 106. This can be done as described above.
- step 110 it can be checked during and after step 106 whether the joint 24 reaches the stiffening state. This can be done e.g. B. the first sensor element 52 can be used, which outputs a first sensor signal when the stiffening state is reached.
