Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for creating a container formation and a grouping device.
- Grouping devices and corresponding methods are used for grouping containers or for forming a container formation from individual containers.
- the grouped containers or the containers of the container formation formed can then be connected to one another, for example packaged together.
- a grouping device is known from DE 102013 106 742 A1.
- containers are fed into lanes by diversion systems and guided along the lanes.
- gaps between the containers are synchronized in such a way that the containers in the respective lanes are aligned at the same height and form a container formation or a bundle.
- Another grouping device is known from DE 10 2011 081 705 A1.
- containers that are immediately adjacent to one another are initially provided with a first conveyor device at a first conveyor speed.
- the first conveyor device is immediately followed by a second conveyor device with a second conveyor speed that is greater than the first conveyor speed, so that the containers are separated from one another when moving from the first conveyor device to the second conveyor device.
- a defined number of articles or containers can then be grouped using a grouping unit that includes a retaining and/or pushing device assigned to the second conveyor device.
- the known grouping devices and methods require a comparatively high level of equipment and require a comparatively large amount of space.
- the method and device according to the invention also enables a simple format change of the containers forming the container formation.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a method for creating a container formation, comprising the steps: a. transporting containers with a transfer star to a transfer point between the transfer star and a grouping unit, so that at least two containers are arranged one behind the other at or behind the transfer point; b. contacting the rear container of the containers arranged one behind the other at or behind the transfer point with a driver element of the grouping unit and; c. transporting the containers with the driver element, wherein the containers transported by the driver element form at least part of a container formation. Because the driver element contacts the rear container at or behind the transfer point, the transfer star and grouping unit can be arranged close to one another.
- the transfer star and grouping unit can also be designed with comparatively simple equipment.
- “contacting the rear container behind the transfer point” can mean that the rear container is arranged a distance behind the transfer point that is less than a tenth of the outer circumference of the transfer star when it is contacted by the driver element.
- the container transported by the transfer star can be or will be contacted by the driver element at a contact point that is spaced from the transfer point by a contacting distance along the conveying direction.
- the contacting distance can be less than a tenth of the outer circumference of the transfer star.
- the contacting distance can be less than a twentieth of the outer circumference of the transfer star.
- “contacting the rear container behind the transfer point” may mean that the rear container is still contacted by a guide element of the transfer star when it is contacted by the driver element.
- the transfer point can be arranged tangentially between the transfer star and the grouping unit, i.e. essentially at an imaginary contact point of an outer radius of the transfer star and the grouping unit. In some embodiments, the transfer point can be arranged between a guide element of the transfer star and between a guide element of the grouping unit.
- the rear container can be the container at the rear in the conveying direction of the containers released from the transfer star before contact with the driver element.
- the containers can be or comprise bottles, e.g. PET or glass bottles, cans, jars, bags, or the like.
- the containers can, for example, consist of or comprise one or more plastic, glass, ceramic or metal.
- the transfer star can comprise container holders for receiving and transporting the containers.
- the transfer star can push the containers.
- the transfer star can transport the containers at a fixed distance on a predetermined pitch circle.
- the grouping unit can push the containers.
- containers are transported to the transfer point with the transfer star in such a way that at least two containers are arranged one behind the other at or behind the transfer point.
- the rear container of the containers arranged one behind the other at or behind the transfer point can be contacted by the driver element.
- the method can comprise the steps: a. transporting containers with a transfer star to a transfer point between the transfer star and a grouping unit so that at least two containers are arranged one behind the other at or behind the transfer point; b. contacting the rear container of the containers arranged one behind the other at or behind the transfer point with a driver element of the grouping unit and; c. transporting the containers with the driver element, wherein the containers transported by the driver element form at least part of a container formation.
- the containers arranged one behind the other at or behind the transfer point can be pushed together by the driver element. During or after the containers are pushed together, gaps or distances between the containers arranged one behind the other can be closed. During or after the pushing together, containers arranged one behind the other can touch or come into contact with each other. Before or during the pushing together, some, several or all of the containers arranged at or behind the transfer point can be or will be braked, possibly to varying degrees, so that the containers can run into each other. The containers can be or will be braked, for example, by contact with a guide or by being transferred, transported and/or pushed onto or onto a standing surface. By pushing together, the containers arranged at or behind the transfer point can be or will be pre-grouped.
- the grouping unit can have a rotating belt, a rotating chain and/or a rotating band.
- the grouping station can have a drive unit for driving the belt, chain and/or band.
- the grouping station can therefore be designed to be comparatively simple in terms of equipment. If the grouping station is rotating or has a rotating chain, belt or band, synchronization with the transfer star can be easily and precisely set and maintained.
- the grouping unit can be star-shaped and/or have a star, whereby the carrier elements can be or correspond to container receptacles.
- the number of carrier elements and/or container receptacles of the grouping unit can be smaller than the number of container receptacles of the transfer star. If the carrier elements are or correspond to container receptacles, the diameter of the Carrier elements or container receptacles correspond to a multiple of the diameter of the container. If the grouping unit is star-shaped and/or has a star, a transport system for further transport of one or the formed container formation can be connected to the grouping unit.
- the driver element can dip into a gap between two container receptacles of the transfer star.
- the driver element can be or have a slide, a suitable tool or the like.
- the driver element can dip or be inserted into the transfer star essentially from the side.
- the driver element can dip or be inserted into the transfer star essentially from above. Because the driver element can dip into a gap between containers guided by the transfer star, the transfer star and the grouping unit can be arranged particularly close to one another. In some embodiments, it can be provided that the driver element dips at least halfway up the diameter of a container, e.g. a container received in the container receptacle. The container can thus be guided particularly securely by the driver element.
- the driver element can support or create the pre-grouping by closing the gaps or distances between the containers arranged one behind the other at or behind the transfer point by the driver element while transporting or pushing the rear container and/or by supporting the closing of the distances or gaps.
- a second number of containers can be transported with a second transfer star to a second transfer point between the second transfer star and a second grouping unit, so that at least two containers can be arranged one behind the other at or behind the second transfer point.
- the rear container of the containers arranged one behind the other at or behind the second transfer point can be contacted with a driver element of the second grouping unit.
- the containers can be transported with the driver element, wherein the containers transported by the driver element can form at least a second part of the container formation.
- the second number of containers can be transported with the second transfer star to the second transfer point in such a way that at least two containers can be arranged one behind the other at or behind the second transfer point.
- the second transfer star may include some, several, or all of the features or advantages described or disclosed with respect to the transfer star.
- the second grouping unit may include some, several, or all of the features or advantages described or disclosed with respect to the grouping unit.
- the containers transported by the carrier element of the grouping unit and forming a first part of the container formation and the containers transported by the carrier element of the second grouping unit and forming the second part of the container formation can be brought together in such a way that they jointly form the container formation, or at least a part the container formation. This makes it possible to form container formations from several rows of containers in a simple and space-saving manner.
- the transfer star and the second transfer star, and/or the grouping unit and the second grouping unit can be synchronized with one another, so that the part of the container formation formed by the transfer star and grouping unit and the second part of the container formation formed by the second transfer star and second grouping unit can be formed essentially at the same time.
- “Essentially at the same time” can mean that when part of a container formation is formed by the transfer star and grouping unit, a second part of or of the container formation is formed by the second transfer star and second grouping unit before the transfer star and grouping unit have formed another part of or of the container formation, and/or vice versa.
- “Essentially at the same time” can also mean that a time difference between forming a first part of a container formation with the transfer star and grouping unit and between forming a part of a container formation with the second transfer star and second grouping unit is less than or equal to a time difference between forming two container formations.
- a further aspect of the invention relates to a grouping device for creating a container formation, wherein the grouping device has a transfer star and a grouping unit with at least one driver element, which are designed to form a first part of a container formation.
- the grouping device can be designed to carry out the method described above.

- the grouping unit and/or the second grouping unit can have or be a belt, a band or a chain.
- the grouping unit can be star-shaped and/or have a star, wherein the driver elements can be or correspond to container receptacles.
- the number of driver elements and/or container receptacles of the grouping unit can be smaller compared to the number of container receptacles of the transfer star. If the driver elements are or correspond to container receptacles, the diameter of the driver elements or container receptacles can be a multiple of the diameter of the containers. If the grouping unit is star-shaped and/or has a star, a transport system for further transport of one or the formed container formation can be connected to the grouping unit.
- the grouping unit can have at least two driver elements that can be spaced apart from one another at a distance that can essentially correspond to a multiple of a distance between container receptacles of the transfer star.

- the driver elements can be regularly spaced apart from one another at least in sections. In some embodiments, the driver elements can be irregularly spaced apart from one another at least in sections.
- the integer or non-integer ratio of the distances between container receptacles and driver elements can depend on the rotational speed of the transfer star. and/or the grouping unit, and/or the ratio of their orbital velocities.
