Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Separable infeed, filling, drive, and closing modules are provided for filling and closing bottles and cans.
  • the closing module includes a turret having interchangeable roll-on cap applying heads or crown applying heads.
  • the closing module includes a seamer.
  • PATENTEDMAY 9 I972 SHEET 3 [IF 4 CONTAINER CLOSING APPARATUS AND METHOD BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the closing of containers.
  • Containers such as cans or bottles are filled and closed during a plurality of successive operations which are performed by large, complex, and expensive machinery.
  • the apparatus must comprise means for infeeding the containers to a multistation filler.
  • the apparatus must also comprise means for transferring the containers from the filler, means for applying closures such as roll-on caps, crowns or can ends, and outfeed means.
  • the closure applying means when a crown is to be applied to a bottle, the closure applying means must include heads for applying crowns. The entire unit is then manufactured with crown applying heads which cannot be used to apply roll-on caps to bottles let alone apply can ends to can bodies even though a substantial portion of the unit is for the most part suited to handle roll-on cap type bottles or cans.
  • rollon cap type bottles have been filled and closed with machines which have been designed for and include means for filling as well as closing crown type bottles. These machines were used in combination with additional means for applying caps.
  • the expensive crown applying means has been a useless appendage of a rather inflexible piece of equipment.
  • entire turrets including heads have been substituted to permit crowns or roll-on caps to be applied. The substitution of turrets is undesirable because of the excessive down time and the necessity for outside rigging help.
  • apparatus comprising a turret assembly and interchangeable crown applying and roll-on cap applying heads.
  • the turret includes a plurality of revolving head mounts including guideways, means for reciprocating the interchangeable heads through the guideways, and means for rotating the roll-on cap applying heads.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a filling and closing apparatus embodying the invention
  • FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a closure turret assembly including closure applying heads
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view including the turret assembly of FIG. 3 taken along section line 4-4 of FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view including the turret assembly of FIG. 3 taken along section line 5--5 of FIG. 4;
  • FIGS. 6-8 represent various positions for the crown applying head ofFIG. 3;
  • FIG. 9 represents the cap applying head of FIG. 3 on the bottle
  • FIG. 10 is a schematic representation of the apparatus of FIG. 1 with the various modules separated;
  • FIG. 11 is a partial plan view corresponding to FIG. 1 with a different infeed module.
  • FIG. 12 is a plan view of a filling and closing apparatus for cans embodying the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 disclose a filling and closing system comprising an infeed module 22, a filler module 24, a drive module 26, and a closing module 28 including transfer, closure applying, and outfeed means.
  • the apparatus 20 with the particular modular combination shown is designed to fill and close bottles.
  • the bottles first enter the system at the infeed module 22 through the use of an infeed worm 30 adjacent a back guide 32.
  • the bottles are then carried on an infeed multi-pocltet spider 34 which is rotating in a clockwise direction along a guide 36.
  • valve carrier assembly 40 rotates with the cylinder support assembly 38 to fill the bottles as they move along the counter clockwise path. Only one filling valve tube and bell assembly 42 has been shown, but it will be appreciated that the valve carrier assembly 40 includes a number of these assemblies 42 circumferentially spaced with respect to one another.
  • the bottles When the bottles have been filled, they move to the closing module 28.
  • the bottles are removed from the cylinder support assembly 38 by a multi-pocket transfer spider 44 which is rotating in a clockwise direction to carry the bottles along a guide 46.
  • the bottles then move to the closure applying area of the module 28.
  • the bottles move in a counterclockwise direction beneath a rotating turret assembly 48 including a plurality of closure applying heads. Only one of the closure applying heads 50 has been shown on the turret 48. A suitable closure feeding mechanism not shown is utilized to supply the closures to the head 50.
  • the bottles leave the closing module 28 via an outfeed spider 52 which rotates in a clockwise direction.
  • the spider carries the bottles at the plurality of circumferentially spaced pockets along a guide 53.
  • the drive module 26 is provided. As shown, the module 26 comprises a split drive hydraulic power unit which is coupled to an hydraulic motor 54 in the filler module 24. The other modules 22 and 28 are then driven ofi the motor 54.
  • the turret assembly 48 including heads 50 may be adapted to apply steel crowns or aluminum rollon caps.
  • the heads 50 are of two ditTerent types, crown applying heads 56 or cap applying heads 58. As shown, both heads 56 and heads 58 may be interchangeably mounted at any revolving station or mount on the turret assembly 48 with a very simple change-over procedure.
  • Each head receiving mount is provided with a pair of machined rectangular bearing ways 60 in vertically cast ribs 62 which are circumferentially spaced about a substantially conventional turret 63 to provide mounts of a predetermined and constant pitch P.
  • the heads 56 and 58 are then mounted in the bearing ways 60 through the use of a pair of easily removable cover plates 64 which are bolted to the ribs 62.
  • Two sets of radially extending machine lugs 66 on each of the heads 56 and 58 are held in guideways formed by the bearings ways 60 and the removable cover plates 64 which are bolted to the ribs 62. These guideways permit the reciprocating motion or vertical stroke which is necessary for applying the crowns and the roll-on caps to the bottles.
  • crown applying head 56 and the cap applying head 58 have the same vertical stroke through the guideways. However, the cap applying head also rotates at the lower end while the crown applying head does not. Nevertheless, the cap applying heads and the crown applying heads are fully interchangeable in the turret 63 as will be clear from FIGS. 4 and S.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show the closure applying apparatus including the turret assembly 48 with one crown applying head 56 and one cap applying head 58 in place. It will of course be appreciated that the turret assembly 48 will either carry crowning heads 56 at all of the mounts or capping heads 58 at all of the mounts depending upon the nature of the bottle to be closed.
  • the closure applying apparatus includes a revolving table 70 which is located beneath the turret assembly 48 for carrying bottles 72 along with the heads 56 or 58 as the turret assembly 48 rotates in a counter clockwise direction.
  • the table 70 is keyed to a drive column 74 at a key 76 and a set screw 78 while the rotating turret 63 is keyed to the drive column 74 at a key 80 and a set screw 82 which extends through a turret hub 84.
  • the column 74 which is coupled to the motor 54 of FIG. 1 rotates thereby rotating the turret 63, the heads 56 and 58 are revolved about the turret axis.
  • the planetary gear system 100 includes a fixed center gear 102 which is mounted on a center bearing and gear support member 104 along with a bearing assembly 114.
  • a rotating planetary gear support member 106 which is part of the rotating turret 63 carries a plurality of planetary gears 108 which rotate around shafts 110 and revolve around the gear 102.
  • the planetary gear system 100 further comprises an annular external driving gear 112 which is driven off the planetary gears 108 along the internal surface of the gear 112. The external surface of the gear 112 engages and rotates the capper head spindle driven gear 98.
  • the single cam track 86 is utilized to provide the same vertical stroke for both the crowner head 56 and the capper head 58.
  • the substantially identical lugs 66, bearing ways 60, and plates 64 are utilized to guide the both types of heads.
  • the operation and configuration of the capper head 58 is substantially conventional. As the cam followers 90 and 92 of the capper head 58 move from the up dwell position at the left, through the fall, and to the down dwell position at the right, the lugs 66 will descend between bearings ways 60 and the cover plates 64 to carry a pressure pad 118 of the head set to the mouth of a bottle 72 having a screw thread glass finish.
  • the cap is held in this position on the mouth of the bottle by a cap control plunger 120 which is biased to an extended position by a spring 122 as shown. On contact with the cap, the plunger 120 retracts within the pressure pad 118.
  • a spring 131 is provided.
  • the spring is of sufficient strength to transmit the stroking force provided by the camming track 86 while at the same time providing a stroke take-up function where the length of the stroke exceeds that necessary for the particular bottle which is being capped.
  • bearing raceways are provided at the upper end of the capper head spindle gear 98 for bearings 126 which are enclosed within a bearing housing 128.
  • the turret assembly 48 also includes a lower slide cam 130 including a cam track 132 receiving a cam follower 134.
  • the cam follower 134 is part of a lower cam slide 136 of the capper head 58. Only the interior of the capper head 58 and more particularly the pinion spindle 138 is rotating. The lower slide 136 does not rotate with the pinion spindle 138 but is separated therefrom by bushing 141.
  • the conical camming surface 140 at the lower end of the lower slide 136 engages rollers 142, pivoting the rollers 142 outwardly and the rollers 124 inwardly to engage the cap skirt as shown in FIG. 9.
  • This mechanism is substantially conventional and the details are accordingly well known in the art.
  • the crowner head 56 represents a departure from the conventional crowner head configuration in accordance with one very important aspect of the invention.
  • the crowner head 56 includes the lugs 66 which move between bearings ways 60 and the cover plates 62 of the turret 63 to provide a vertical stroke derived from a camming track 86 and cam followers and 92.
  • the crowner head 56 is in contact with a threadl'ess bottle 72 after having applied a crown 151.
  • the crown head throat has wiped and crimped the crown skirt 153 down along the side of the bottle as best seen in FIG. 8.
  • the throat 150 is held in the position shown by a compensating spring 152 which accommodates slight variations in bottle heights.
  • a presser foot 154 engages the top of the crown with a pressure determined by a presser foot spring 156.
  • the presser foot spring 156 must be sufficiently strong to establish a seal between the bottle mouth and the crown liner.
  • the compensating spring 152 is located within an annular chamber defined by an outer crowing cylinder 158 at the exterior of the crowner head 56, a compensating slide 160, and the lower end of the slide 96 of head 56.
  • the presser foot spring 156 is enclosed within a chamber defined by the compensating slide 160 and a crimp adjusting rod 162. Ifthe crimp adjusting rod 162 is backed off or raised with respect to the lower end of the upper slide 96, the crimp on the skirt of the crown is tighter since the skirt will be allowed to reach a deeper point in the throat 150.
  • the camming track 132 and the internal and external gears 112 do not in any way affect or interfere with the crowning operation.
  • the crowner heads are spaced from the gear 112 and therefore are not engaged by or coupled to the gear 112.
  • the crowning is achieved by a strictly reciprocating motion without rotational motion and there are no rollers associated with the application of a crown to a bottle as in the case of the roll-on cap.
  • FIGS. 6-8 For a further understanding of the crowning operation, reference will now be made to FIGS. 6-8.
  • the crown 151 is shown at the opening of the throat 150 after entering a crown platfonn 172 through an opening 174.
  • the crown 151 is held in place by magnetic means in the presser foot 154.
  • the throat 150 and presser foot 154 have descended toward the mouth of the bottle with the presser foot 154 resting on the top of the crown 151.
  • the preload compression on the presser foot spring 156 is increased due to the continuing downward movement of the compensating slide 158 as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the compensating spring 152 remains under preload compression only.
  • the throat 150 has wiped and crimped the crown skirt 153 on the threadless bottle 72.
  • the compensating spring is now additionally compressed and in a position corresponding to the position shown in FIG. 4 where the cam followers 90 and 92 of the crowner head 56 are in the lower dwell of the cam track 86.
  • the compensating spring 152 will first be released to a state of preload compression followed by the release of the presser foot spring 156 back to preload compression which serves to eject the crown from the throat 150.
  • FIG. 10 the apparatus of FIG. 1 which includes such a closure applying module is shown separated into its module components.
  • the figure is intended to illustrate and emphasize the importance of the modular approach to container filling and closure apparatus to provide the ultimate in flexibility.
  • various modules may be replaced by other modules to provide the same or similar functions for different containers or the same functions on the same containers at other filling and closing rates.
  • FIG. 11 wherein an infeed module 222 is shown having a twin worm feeding mechanism 224.
  • This infeed module 222 can be utilized in conjunction with the module as shown in FIG. 1 where it is desireable to utilize two conveyors thereby reducing the bottle speed along the infeed conveyor means.
  • a filler module is utilized having as many as 100 valves, such an infeed module can provide a sufiicient number of bottles without requiring excessive speeds of the bottles along each of two conveyors.
