Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de clipser lesThe present invention relates to a device for clipping the

préformes en plastique, les bouteilles en plastique ou tout autre objet comportant une partie cylindrique permettant de le transporter d'un point à un autre.  plastic preforms, plastic bottles or any other object having a cylindrical portion for transporting it from one point to another.

Le transport des préformes dans le four est habituellement assuré par un clipsage sur la totalité de la surface intérieure ou extérieure du col de la préforme, ce qui oblige une force de clipsage et de déclipsage importante, impliquant des parties mécaniques conséquentes.  The transport of the preforms in the oven is usually ensured by a clipping on the entire inner or outer surface of the neck of the preform, which requires a large clipping and unclamping force, involving consequent mechanical parts.

Le clipsage étant généralement assuré sur la partie intérieure de la préforme, on peut constater une contamination bactérienne et chimique sur la partie interne de la préforme servant de réceptacle au contenu de la future bouteille.  Clipping being generally provided on the inner part of the preform, one can see a bacterial and chemical contamination on the inner part of the preform serving as a container for the contents of the future bottle.

Le transport des préformes entre le four et la roue est effectué à l'aide de pinces qui viennent s'enserrer sur le pourtour du col, ce qui occasionne une rotation de la préforme, point gênant quand l'utilisation nécessite de la précision.  The transport of the preforms between the furnace and the wheel is carried out by means of grippers which are gripped around the periphery of the neck, which causes a rotation of the preform, which is a problem when the use requires precision.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à tous ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, une surface d'appui ajustée au diamètre externe du col de la préforme, de la bouteille plastique ou de tout objet comportant une partie cylindrique permettant le transport. Cette surface d'appui permettra d'épauler le col du produit transporté.  The device according to the invention overcomes all these disadvantages. It comprises in fact according to a first characteristic, a bearing surface fitted to the outer diameter of the neck of the preform, the plastic bottle or any object having a cylindrical portion for transport. This bearing surface will support the neck of the product transported.

Un axe mobile vient, une fois le produit épaulé, s'appliquer sur la partie interne du col de la bouteille, de la préforme ou de l'objet comportant une partie cylindrique permettant le transport.  A movable axis comes, once the product shouldered, apply to the inner part of the neck of the bottle, the preform or the object having a cylindrical portion for transport.

Cette pression appliquée à l'intérieur du col du produit permet parfaitement son maintien dans une position parallèle à la surface d'appui et ce avec une petite force de clipsage.  This pressure applied to the inside of the neck of the product makes it perfectly possible to maintain it in a position parallel to the bearing surface and with a small clipping force.

Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation Le diamètre, la hauteur ainsi que la longueur de la surface d'appui peuvent être modifiés en fonction de l'objet à transporter.  According to particular embodiments The diameter, the height and the length of the support surface may be modified depending on the object to be transported.

2 2857287 L'axe mobile peut être indifféremment actionné par un ressort, un levier ou tout autre moyen de mouvement en fonction de l'environnement d'utilisation.  2 2857287 The movable axis can be indifferently actuated by a spring, a lever or any other means of movement depending on the environment of use.

L'axe mobile peut être légèrement en biais ou parallèle à la surface d'appui selon les besoins.  The movable axis may be slightly oblique or parallel to the bearing surface as required.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention: La figure 1 représente vue de dessus le dispositif de l'invention. La figure 2 représente en coupe le dispositif de l'invention. La figure 3 représente en coupe une variante du dispositif de l'invention.  The attached drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents a view from above of the device of the invention. Figure 2 shows in section the device of the invention. Figure 3 shows a sectional variant of the device of the invention.

La figure 4 représente en coupe une autre variante du dispositif de l'invention.  Figure 4 shows in section another variant of the device of the invention.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un support (1) qui sert de référence à la surface d'appui (2) adapté à la forme et au diamètre externe de la partie cylindrique (3) de l'objet à transporter.  With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a support (1) which serves as a reference to the bearing surface (2) adapted to the shape and the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion (3) of the object to be transported.

L'ensemble du support (1) est traversé verticalement par l'axe (4) qui, libéré de toute contrainte, vient s'appliquer sur la partie interne de l'objet à transporter (3).  The entire support (1) is traversed vertically by the axis (4) which, free of any stress, is applied to the inner part of the object to be transported (3).

Cet axe (4) est actionné par le bras du levier (7) qui permet de restituer la force du ressort (5) à l'axe (4) et ainsi, clipser l'objet à transporter (3).  This axis (4) is actuated by the arm of the lever (7) which makes it possible to restore the force of the spring (5) to the axis (4) and thus clipping the object to be transported (3).

La tenseur du ressort (5) peut être ajustée en fonction du poids et de la forme de l'objet à transporter (3). Le galet d'actionnement du mécanisme (6) est ramené à l'axe de l'ensemble afin de simplifier le mode de clipsage.  The spring tensioner (5) can be adjusted according to the weight and shape of the object to be transported (3). The actuating roller of the mechanism (6) is returned to the axis of the assembly to simplify the clipping mode.

Le clipsage peut être de type normalement clipsé (à savoir, au repos sans contrainte mécanique, l'ensemble se présente de manière à ce que l'objet à transporter soit clipsé sur la réalisation - voir schéma 2 - ou normalement déclipsé, c'est à dire qu'au repos sans contrainte mécanique, l'ensemble se présente de manière à ce que l'objet à transporter soit déclipsé de la réalisation, non solidaire de l'ensemble, comme le démontrent les schémas 3 et 4).  The clipping can be of the type normally clipped (ie, at rest without mechanical stress, the assembly is in such a way that the object to be transported is clipped on the embodiment - see diagram 2 - or normally unclipped, it is to say that at rest without mechanical stress, the assembly is presented so that the object to be transported is unclipped from the realization, not integral with the assembly, as shown in Figures 3 and 4).

L'axe (4) peut être de type translationnel vertical ou en biais (voir schéma 2 et 3) selon l'utilisation requise.  The axis (4) can be vertical translational type or bias (see diagram 2 and 3) depending on the required use.

3 2857287 L'axe (4) peut être de type rotatif comme on peut le constater sur le schéma 4.  The axis (4) can be of rotating type as can be seen in Figure 4.

Aucun exemple limitatif ne peut être apporté à l'ensemble car les dimensions de l'ensemble seront directement en relation avec les dimensions de l'objet à transporter.  No limiting example can be given to the set because the dimensions of the set will be directly related to the dimensions of the object to be transported.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au transport de préforme ou de bouteille en plastique.Ce dispositif selon l'invention peut permettre de les transporter dans le four où les préformes sont chauffées, entre le four et la roue souffleuse ou en sortie de la roue souffleuse afin de transporter les bouteilles. 20  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the transport of preform or plastic bottle.This device according to the invention can be used to transport them in the oven where the preforms are heated, between the oven and the blower wheel or at the outlet of the blower wheel to transport the bottles. 20
