Abstract

The conveyor for bottles (1) with collars (2) round their necks (3) has a blower chamber (4) for an air flow to move the articles and a supporting rail (5) which interacts with the collars. The blower chamber is made from a housing and a movable plate (8), with seals (10) for the joints between the two. The housing has side panels (11, 12) reinforced by lengthwise members (14, 15), supporting cross-members (9), and consists of a cover (13) over regularly-spaced arched supports (27). The seals between the cover and plate are formed by the lengthwise members and/or by joints (16) on the panel edges which interact with them. The lengthwise members are made e.g. from aluminium extrusions with smooth and curved outer surfaces to prevent the collection of dust.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de convoyage d'objets tels que, notamment, bouteilles, flacons ou autres. The present invention relates to a device for conveying objects such as, in particular, bottles, flasks or the like.

Toutefois, bien que plus particulièrement prévue pour de telles applications, elle pourra également être destinée, de manière générale, à tout objet présentant une extrémité munie d'une excroissance. However, although more particularly intended for such applications, it may also be intended, in general, for any object having an end provided with a protuberance.

Actuellement, dans le domaine du convoyage, il est connu de transporter des bouteilles par soufflage d'un flux d'air sur une ou plusieurs parties de leur surface et d'assurer ainsi leur déplacement selon une direction donnée. Currently, in the field of conveying, it is known to transport bottles by blowing an air flow over one or more parts of their surface and thus ensuring their movement in a given direction.

D'après un mode de réalisation préférentiel de ce procédé, lesdites bouteilles sont propulsées par un jet d'air agissant au niveau de leur goulot.. According to a preferred embodiment of this process, said bottles are propelled by an air jet acting at their neck.

Les dispositifs correspondants comprennent généralement une chambre de soufflage et un rail support. La chambre de soufflage est alimentée par des ventilateurs et permet de comprimer l'air introduit, ce dernier étant ensuite projeté en direction du goulot des bouteilles par l'intermédiaire de fentes, prévues à la surface de ladite chambre de soufflage. The corresponding devices generally include a blowing chamber and a support rail. The blowing chamber is supplied by fans and makes it possible to compress the air introduced, the latter then being projected towards the neck of the bottles by means of slots, provided on the surface of said blowing chamber.

La structure desdites fentes permet d'orienter le flux d'air projeté et d'assurer ainsi le transport des bouteilles selon la direction souhaitée. The structure of said slots makes it possible to orient the projected air flow and thus ensure the transport of the bottles in the desired direction.

Le rail support coopère avec une excroissance prévue au niveau du goulot des bouteilles convoyées et participe à leur guidage. II est généralement assujetti à la face inférieure de la chambre de soufflage. The support rail cooperates with a protrusion provided at the neck of the conveyed bottles and participates in their guidance. It is generally subject to the underside of the blowing chamber.

Afin d'améliorer le guidage des bouteilles, les dispositifs décrits ci-dessus comportent habituellement, en outre, des guides latéraux en vis-à-vis de la trajectoire du corps desdites bouteilles. Afin d'être efficace, il est à noter que lesdites guides latéraux nécessitent le plus souvent un réglage fin et minutieux, adapté à chaque profil de bouteilles transportées. In order to improve the guiding of the bottles, the devices described above usually additionally comprise lateral guides facing the trajectory of the body of said bottles. In order to be effective, it should be noted that said lateral guides most often require fine and meticulous adjustment, adapted to each profile of bottles transported.

Dans les dispositifs actuellement connus, le positionnement desdits guides latéraux est effectué par des translations d'organes mobiles les uns par rapport aux autres. In the currently known devices, the positioning of said lateral guides is carried out by translations of movable members relative to each other.

L'inconvénient de tels dispositifs est qu'ils nécessitent des temps de réglage relativement longs. De plus, ils peuvent présenter des difficultés d'utilisation, notamment en cas d'installation de joues le long dudit dispositif afin de protéger les bouteilles lors de leur transport. The disadvantage of such devices is that they require relatively long adjustment times. In addition, they may present difficulties of use, in particular in the case of installation of cheeks along said device in order to protect the bottles during their transport.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de convoyage qui pallie les inconvénients précités et dont les réglages soient simplifiés à la fois lors de l'installation et en cours d'exploitation, notamment en cas de changement de profil des objets transportés. The object of the present invention is to provide a conveying device which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks and the adjustments of which are simplified both during installation and during operation, in particular in the event of a profile change of the objects transported.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de convoyage facilitant l'utilisation d'une joue de protection des objets transportés. Another object of the present invention is to provide a conveying device facilitating the use of a cheek for protecting transported objects.

D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre qui n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear during the description which follows which is given only for information and which is not intended to limit it.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de convoyage d'objets tels que, notamment, bouteilles, flacons ou autres, présentant une excroissance au niveau de leur goulot, comprenant une chambre de soufflage, permettant la projection d'un flux d'air apte à entraîner lesdits objets, un rail support, apte à coopérer avec lesdits objets au niveau de leur excroissance, et des guides latéraux, aptes à favoriser le transport desdits objets, caractérisé par le fait que lesdits guides latéraux sont constitués au moins d'une rampe de guidage, prévue le long dudit dispositif en vis-à-vis du corps desdits objets, et de tiges support de ladite rampe, lesdites tiges et ladite rampe coopérant entre elles au moins par articulation en rotation de maniére à assurer le réglage de la position transversale de ladite rampe par rapport auxdits objets. The present invention relates to a device for conveying objects such as, in particular, bottles, flasks or the like, having a protuberance at their neck, comprising a blowing chamber, allowing the projection of an air flow capable of entraining said objects, a support rail, able to cooperate with said objects at their protuberance, and lateral guides, capable of promoting the transport of said objects, characterized in that said lateral guides consist of at least one guide ramp , provided along said device facing the body of said objects, and support rods of said ramp, said rods and said ramp cooperating with each other at least by articulation in rotation so as to ensure the adjustment of the transverse position of said ramp relative to said objects.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description suivante accompagnée des dessins en annexe qui en font partie intégrante et parmi lesquels:
- la figure 1 décrit, selon une section transversale, un exemple de dispositif de convoyage d'objets conforme à l'invention,
- la figure 2 illustre, en demi vue de dessus, le principe d'articulation des guides latéraux utilisés dans un dispositif conforme à
I'invention.The present invention will be better understood on reading the following description accompanied by the attached drawings which form an integral part thereof and among which:
FIG. 1 describes, in a cross section, an example of an object conveying device according to the invention,
- Figure 2 illustrates, in half top view, the principle of articulation of the lateral guides used in a device according to
The invention.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de convoyage d'objets tels que, notamment, bouteilles, flacons ou autres. The present invention relates to a device for conveying objects such as, in particular, bottles, flasks or the like.

Toutefois, bien que plus particulièrement prévue pour de telles applications, elle pourra également être destinée, de manière générale, à tout objet muni d'une extrémité présentant une excroissance. However, although more particularly intended for such applications, it may also be intended, in general, for any object provided with an end having a protuberance.

Comme représenté à la figure 1, le dispositif de convoyage conforme à l'invention permet de transporter des objets 1 présentant une excroissance 2, notamment annulaire, au niveau de leur goulot 3, par exemple, selon une direction sensiblement orthogonale au plan de la figure. As shown in FIG. 1, the conveying device according to the invention makes it possible to transport objects 1 having a protuberance 2, in particular annular, at their neck 3, for example, in a direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of the figure .

Pour cela, de manière connue, ledit dispositif comprend une chambre de soufflage 4, permettant la projection d'un flux d'air apte à entraîner lesdits objets 1, selon la direction de convoyage souhaitée. II comprend également un rail support 5, coopérant avec lesdits objets 1 au niveau de leur excroissance 2. Ledit rail support 5 étant orienté selon ladite direction de convoyage. For this, in known manner, said device comprises a blowing chamber 4, allowing the projection of an air flow capable of driving said objects 1, according to the desired conveying direction. It also includes a support rail 5, cooperating with said objects 1 at their protuberance 2. Said support rail 5 being oriented in said conveying direction.

Grâce au dispositif conforme à l'invention, lesdits objets 1, dirigés sensiblement verticalement, goulot orienté vers le haut, sont ainsi transférés sous ladite chambre de soufflage 4, par exemple d'une installation de mise en forme à une installation de remplissage. Thanks to the device according to the invention, said objects 1, directed substantially vertically, neck oriented upwards, are thus transferred under said blowing chamber 4, for example from a shaping installation to a filling installation.

Ladite chambre de soufflage 4 présente, notamment, au niveau de sa face inférieure un canal 6 muni de fentes, par exemple, sur ses parois latérales. Lesdites fentes, non représentées sur la figure 1, sont aptes à permettre la projection dudit flux d'air en direction du goulot 3 des objets 1, ce dernier circulant dans ledit canal 6. Said blowing chamber 4 has, in particular, at its lower face a channel 6 provided with slots, for example, on its side walls. Said slots, not shown in FIG. 1, are capable of allowing the projection of said air flow towards the neck 3 of the objects 1, the latter circulating in said channel 6.

Ledit rail support 5 est constitué, notament, de deux rampes supérieures 7, en plastique etlou en acier inoxydable qui, avec le flux d'air orienté, permettent de guider lesdits objets 1 le long de leur trajet. Said support rail 5 consists, in particular, of two upper ramps 7, made of plastic and / or stainless steel which, with the oriented air flow, make it possible to guide said objects 1 along their path.

Afin de favoriser le transport desdits objets 1, le dispositif conforme à l'invention comprend également des guides latéraux 8, 9. In order to promote the transport of said objects 1, the device according to the invention also comprises lateral guides 8, 9.

Selon l'invention, lesdits guides latéraux 8, 9 sont constitués au moins d'une rampe de guidage 10, prévue le long dudit dispositif en vis-à-vis du corps desdits objets 1, et de tiges support Il de la dite rampe 10. According to the invention, said lateral guides 8, 9 consist of at least one guide ramp 10, provided along said device facing the body of said objects 1, and support rods II of said ramp 10 .

Le dispositif conforme à l'invention comprend, par exemple, deux dites rampes de guidage 10 disposées de part et d'autre du corps desdits objets 1 avec un léger jeu résiduel. Lesdites tiges support 11 sont, notamment, régulièrement espacées le long dudit dispositif. The device according to the invention comprises, for example, two said guide ramps 10 arranged on either side of the body of said objects 1 with a slight residual clearance. Said support rods 11 are, in particular, regularly spaced along said device.

En se reportant à la figure 2, on constate que lesdites tiges Il et ladite rampe 10 coopèrent entre elles au moins par articulation en rotation, notamment selon les flèches repérées 12, 13. Lesdits guides permettent ainsi d'assurer de manière facilitée le réglage de la position transversale, selon la flèche repérée 14, de ladite rampe 10 par rapport auxdits objets. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that said rods II and said ramp 10 cooperate with each other at least by articulation in rotation, in particular according to the arrows marked 12, 13. Said guides thus make it possible to easily ensure the adjustment of the transverse position, according to the arrow marked 14, of said ramp 10 relative to said objects.

En effet, selon le décalage angulaire choisi, I'entraxe défini entre lesdites rampes de guidage 10 est adapté à l'encombrement des objets 1, 1' transportés, comme figuré selon les traits représentés en pointillés, tandis que les tiges support Il ou tout du moins une partie desdites tiges support 11 reste dans la même position. Indeed, according to the angular offset chosen, the spacing defined between said guide ramps 10 is adapted to the size of the objects 1, 1 'transported, as shown according to the lines shown in dotted lines, while the support rods Il or all at least a part of said support rods 11 remains in the same position.

De plus, grâce à de telles articulations, le réglage de la position angulaire d'une des tiges support 11 permet, par l'intermédiaire du déplacement engendré par la rampe de guidage 10 correspondante, d'entraîner simultanément les autres dites tiges support Il coopérant avec ladite rampe 10. La mise au point du dispositif peut ainsi être effectuée plus rapidement. In addition, thanks to such articulations, the adjustment of the angular position of one of the support rods 11 allows, by means of the displacement generated by the corresponding guide ramp 10, to simultaneously drive the other so-called support rods II cooperating. with said ramp 10. The development of the device can thus be carried out more quickly.

A titre de remarque, à la figure 2, la direction de convoyage des objets 1 est représentée par la flèche repérée 15. By way of a note, in FIG. 2, the conveying direction of the objects 1 is represented by the arrow marked 15.

Si l'on se reporte de nouveau à la figure 1, on constate que la position verticale desdites rampes de guidage 10 peut également, éventuellement, être réglée. Ces dernières sont ainsi mobiles, par exemple, en translation le long desdites support 11, notamment selon la flèche repérée 16. Referring again to Figure 1, we see that the vertical position of said guide rails 10 can also, optionally, be adjusted. The latter are thus mobile, for example, in translation along said support 11, in particular along the arrow marked 16.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, lesdites tiges support Il sont articulables en rotation autour d'axes sensiblement verticaux 17 et ladite rampe de guidage 10 est articulable en rotation par rapport à des axes 18, également sensiblement verticaux, excentrés par rapport auxdits axes de rotation 17 des tiges 11 et solidaires desdites tiges 11. Lesdits axes 17,18 sont ainsi, notamment sensiblement parallèles. According to the illustrated embodiment, said support rods II can be articulated in rotation around substantially vertical axes 17 and said guide ramp 10 can be articulated in rotation relative to axes 18, also substantially vertical, eccentric relative to said axes of rotation 17 of the rods 11 and integral with said rods 11. Said axes 17, 18 are thus, in particular substantially parallel.

Lesdites rampes de guidage 10 et leur tige support 11 peuvent ainsi être réglés, par exemple, au moment de l'installation du dispositif etlou entre chaque changement de types d'objets 1 à transporter. Lors du convoyage desdits objets, lesdites rampes de guidage 10 et leur dite tige de support 11 sont naturellement bloquées en position. Said guide rails 10 and their support rod 11 can thus be adjusted, for example, at the time of installation of the device etlou between each change of types of objects 1 to be transported. When conveying said objects, said guide ramps 10 and their said support rod 11 are naturally locked in position.

Selon le mode particulier de réalisation illustré, lesdites tiges support 11 desdits guides latéraux 8, 9 se présentent sous la forme d'un U. According to the particular embodiment illustrated, said support rods 11 of said lateral guides 8, 9 are in the form of a U.

L'une des branches 19 dudit U se trouve le long dudit axe de rotation 17 tandis que l'autre 20 se trouve le long dudit axe excentré 18 et permet d'assurer le positionnement vertical de ladite rampe de guidage 10, libre en rotation autour de ladite autre branche 20.One of the branches 19 of said U is located along said axis of rotation 17 while the other 20 is located along said eccentric axis 18 and makes it possible to ensure the vertical positioning of said guide ramp 10, free to rotate around of the said other branch 20.

Lesdites rampes de guidage 10 sont constituées, par exemple, de rotules 32, coopérant avec lesdites tiges 11, dans lesquelles coulissent une tringle de guidage 33, prévue le long dela trajectoire desdits objets 1. Said guide rails 10 consist, for example, of ball joints 32, cooperating with said rods 11, in which slide a guide rod 33, provided along the path of said objects 1.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, lesdits guides latéraux 8, 9 sont soutenus par ladite chambre de soufflage 4. Plus précisément, ladite chambre de soufflage 4 étant prévue quadrangulaire, lesdits guides latéraux 8, 9 sont soutenus, par exemple, par la face inférieure etlou les faces latérales de ladite chambre de soufflage 4. According to a first embodiment, said lateral guides 8, 9 are supported by said blowing chamber 4. More precisely, said blowing chamber 4 being provided quadrangular, said lateral guides 8, 9 are supported, for example, by the lower face and / or the side faces of said blowing chamber 4.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, correspondant à celui illustré, lesdits guides latéraux 8, 9 sont soutenus par des longerons 21, éventuellement prévus dans le dispositif conforme à l'invention de part et d'autre dudit rail 5 le long de ladite chambre de soufflage 4. According to another embodiment, corresponding to that illustrated, said lateral guides 8, 9 are supported by side members 21, possibly provided in the device according to the invention on either side of said rail 5 along said chamber of blowing 4.

Par ailleurs, lesdites tiges support 11 sont aptes, par exemple, à permettre le soutien de joueS 22, destinéES à protéger lesdits objets le long de leur trajectoire. Pour cela, le dispositif conforme à l'invention comprend, notamment, des armatures de soutien 23 desdites joues 22 coopérant avec lesdites tiges 11 par l'intermédiaire de brides 24, dans lesquelles lesdites tiges 11 sont libres en rotation. Furthermore, said support rods 11 are suitable, for example, for enabling cheek support 22, intended to protect said objects along their trajectory. For this, the device according to the invention comprises, in particular, support frames 23 of said cheeks 22 cooperating with said rods 11 by means of flanges 24, in which said rods 11 are free to rotate.

Cela étant, selon le mode particulier de réalisation illustré, le dispositif comprend un tablier 25 auquel est assujetti ledit rail 5. De plus, ladite chambre de soufflage 4 et/ou ledit tablier 25 sont assujettis, directement ou indirectement auxdits longerons 21. Plus précisément, ledit tablier 25 constitue, par exemple, la face inférieure de ladite chambre de soufflage 4, cette dernière comprenant, en outre, au moins un corps 26 formé de deux faces latérales 27, 28 et d'un couvercle 29. However, according to the particular embodiment illustrated, the device comprises an apron 25 to which said rail 5 is subjected. In addition, said blowing chamber 4 and / or said apron 25 are subject, directly or indirectly to said beams 21. More precisely , said apron 25 constitutes, for example, the underside of said blowing chamber 4, the latter comprising, in addition, at least one body 26 formed by two lateral faces 27, 28 and a cover 29.

Lesdits longerons 21 sont aptes, en outre, éventuellement, à accueillir au moins des armatures de soutien dudit dispositif, non représentées, assujetties au sol et/ou au plafond du local dans lequel il est installé. Said beams 21 are further capable, if necessary, of accommodating at least support armatures of said device, not shown, subject to the ground and / or to the ceiling of the room in which it is installed.

Pour cela, lesdits longerons 21 sont munis de différents logements 34, 35, 36, aptes à permettre l'introduction de moyens de solidarisation desdits longerons 21 avec notamment les différents organes évoqués ci-dessus tels que respectivement le corps 26 de la chambre de soufflage 4, les armatures de soutien dudit dispositif, et/ou les guides latéraux 8, 9. For this, said beams 21 are provided with different housings 34, 35, 36, able to allow the introduction of means for securing said beams 21 with in particular the various members mentioned above such as respectively the body 26 of the blowing chamber. 4, the support frames of said device, and / or the lateral guides 8, 9.

Lesdits longerons 21 peuvent également présenter, notamment, une rainure, apte à permettre l'encastrement desdites joues 22. Ils sont constitués, par exemple, d'un profilé en aluminium. Said beams 21 may also have, in particular, a groove, capable of allowing the embedding of said cheeks 22. They consist, for example, of an aluminum profile.

Par ailleurs, selon le mode particulier de réalisation illustré, ledit tablier 25 est facilement amovible de manière à simplifier l'accès à l'intérieur de ladite chambre de soufflage 4. Pour cela, le dispositif conforme à l'invention comprend, par exemple, des traverses de soutien 30 coopérant avec ledit tablier 25 par vissage tandis que ledit tablier 25 et ledit corps 26 sont dissociables. Furthermore, according to the particular embodiment illustrated, said apron 25 is easily removable so as to simplify access to the interior of said blowing chamber 4. For this, the device according to the invention comprises, for example, support sleepers 30 cooperating with said apron 25 by screwing while said apron 25 and said body 26 are separable.

Lesdites traverses 30 sont, notamment, assujetties, à chacune de leur extrémité, auxdits longerons 21, par exemple à travers ledit corps 26. Said sleepers 30 are, in particular, subject, at each of their ends, to said side rails 21, for example through said body 26.

En outre, afin d'assurer l'étanchéité de ladite chambre de soufflage 4, ledit tablier 25 est muni, éventuellement, le long de ses bords de joints 31, aptes à coopérer avec des gorges prévues le long desdits longerons 21. Furthermore, in order to ensure the tightness of said blowing chamber 4, said apron 25 is provided, optionally, along its edges with seals 31, able to cooperate with grooves provided along said longitudinal members 21.

Naturellement, d'autres modes de mise en oeuvre à la portée de l'homme de l'art auraient pu être envisagés sans pour autant sortir du cadre de la présente invention.  Naturally, other modes of implementation within the reach of ordinary skill in the art could have been envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention.
