Definitions

  • a sorting device or unscrambler comprising a pair of elongate parallel rod members positioned and held at a slope downward from the input station thereof to a delivery station.
  • the spacing of the rods is such that work objects, for example corks or the like which are characterized by a head portion of slightly greater weight and diameter than the remainder thereof, are
  • the work objects are dropped one-by-one in desired predetermined orientation for subsequent processing.
  • At least one of the rods is rotated by a source of rotational power coupled thereto so that each of the aforementioned work objects placed upon the sloping rods is caused to advance therealong by the coaction of rod movement and attendant slippage thereupon by the work object.
  • This invention relates to sorting devices and more particularly to devices of such character known as unscramblers which also establish a specific orientation of relatively small work objects, such as corks and the like used in the bottling of certain types of beverages, for example champagne.
  • Champagne and other sparkling wines both natural and artificially carbonated, are normally put up and sold in bottles capped by a cork, or sometimes, nowadays a plastic closure.
  • the natural cork is still preferred by the vintners producing champagne and other sparkling wines by the so-called older, classic method, as well as by many others who utilize lesser methods.
  • champagne corks when in place are characterized by a round knob-like protrusion at the top of the bottle held in place by a wire hood or strap.
  • Such cork structure originates with a cork having a head portion of substantially circular cross-section whose diameter is greater than that of the remainder of the cork, which head portion is also somewhat heavier than the remainder of the cork of reduced diameter. Examples of such corks may be seen in phantom outline at FIG. 2 of the second sheet of drawings accompanying this specification.
  • corks or other kinds of stoppers or closures, of the abovedescribed type into champagne bottles, especially where the process although classical still uses at least that degree of automation wherein the bottle closures or corks are inserted into the bottles by machine instead of by hand and mallot, it is required that the corks be received seriatim from a source thereof in random orientation and then, one-by-one, be placed in a predetermined orientation, usually with the small end of the cork facing down, at a delivery station or zone. Thereafter, the work objects (corks) may be systematically and mechanically inserted into bottles that have been filled with beverage.
  • the aforementioned selection from a random source, rearrangement to a predetermined position, and advancement of corks to a delivery zone for further working, i.e., unscrambling may be accomplished manually or by various types of mechanical unscramblers.
  • One with which I am familiar drops the corks between a pair of pins whose separation is just wide enough to pass the cork therebetween by means of an advancing roller if the cork is small side down. Otherwise, a plunger, moving at the same speed as the roller, pushes the cork; and it topples, small side down, to the delivery zone.
  • this device, and others like it tend to jam and occasionally permit a cork to be delivered large side down.
  • cork wastage alone is costly (champagne corks, for example, cost around $.06 each) and I have seen as many as several hundred corks spoiled during an average bottling season of but a few months. Besides considerable production time is also lost, especially if the bottle is broken thus adding to the labor of clean-up and maintenance.
  • a work object unscrambler which may receive corks or the like of the type described above, seriatim and in random orientation from a source thereof, and deliver such corks one-by-one in a predetermined orientation.
  • a feature and advantage of the present invention is that due to the increased reliability of orienting and delivering corks or work objects to a work station for subsequent processing, the spoilage of the corks, which would occur if the work objects were not properly delivered, is greatly reduced if not nearly eliminated altogether, with attendant significant savings in cork or other work object costs.
  • a further feature and advantage of my invention is that due to its relatively high efficiency and rate of operation the amount of spoilage, for example in the champagne bottling process, is reduced to a minimum; and the rate at which bottles may be capped and delivered is maintained at a relatively high level of production.
  • FIG. 1 is an overall.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial sectional elevation taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1, except that bridge baffle plate 40 is restored to view;
  • FIG. 3 is a partial plan view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a portion of the sectional view of FIG. 3 repeated primarily to show a succession of positions of a work object received and advanced therealong and not shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 thus providing a more lucid disclosure and associated description of the function of my invention in connection with such work object positions.
  • FIG. 1 My invention may be understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, particularly FIG. 1, wherein I illustrate my unscrambler device. It should be appreciated that the assembly illustrated occupies a position in an overall line of equipment (not shown) utilized in the production of bottled champagne; and, in the particular portion thereof shown, work objects-- in this case corks to be inserted into the type of champagne bottlesare delivered one by one from a source thereof (not shown) and dropped in random orientation to the region or zone 12 of the device, which may also be referred to hereinafter as an input station, and one such cork or work object 14 being thus dropped in the direction of arrow 16 is shown.
  • a source thereof not shown
  • a second cork 18 is seen being exited in the direction of arrow 19 just below delivery station 20, specifically through conduit 22, the latter work object having also been oriented to the desired predetermined position shown, i.e., with the larger diameter head portion 18 being uppermost or above the remainder or smaller diameter portion 18.
  • the cork may be subsequently maneuvered to eventual insertion into a bottle of beverage in a manner and by means of mechanical expedients known to those of ordinary skill in the art and hence not shown in the drawing not further described herein.
  • section A of FIG. 1 The mechanism of my invention whereby the foregoing desired result is achieved is illustrated at section A of FIG. 1, while the support therefore and basic power movement is embraced at section B. Because of its more fundamental relevance to my invention, and to make the reading of this specification and appreciation of the invention hereinmore lucid, attention is directed first to section A of FIG. 1, and auxiliary FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • corks or other work objects of the shape and character first described in the introductory remarks to this specification are dropped one by one from a source thereof to the input station at 12.
  • the work objects encounter a pair of elongate bars 26, 28 which prevent further drop of the object.
  • bars 26, 28 are supported and carricd by guide assembly 30 (further described below) in parallel alignment at a distance S from each other, S being just slightly smaller than head diameter d of the work object, yet greater than any width dimension of the remainder of the object, in this case diameter w of the lower portion of the cork.
  • guide assembly 30 is so constructed that bars 26, 28 are supported with their longitudinal axes 32, 34 sloped downwardly from input station 12 to delivery station 20 (FIG. 2); and, in the embodiment shown I prefer the angle of slope with the horizontai to be in the neighborhood of not less than about 25.
  • a cork land on rods 26, 28 in a position anywhere from substantially vertical, to nearly on its side, and due to the somewhat heavier head portion than the remainder thereof, the cork naturally tends to tumble with the head portion pointing downslope, i.e., toward delivery station 20.
  • Advancement of work objects along bars 26, 28 is achieved by continuous agitation of the work object thereon, and this is the result of coaction of the shape and slope positions of the rods, and rotational movement of the rods about their respective central longitu-.
  • the rods be fabricated of round steel stock. Rotational movement is accomplished by means of rotational power transmitted to the rods by known mechanical expedients, which appear in the B section of the assembly of my invention explained in somewhat greater detail hereinafter. More specifically I prefer to constantly rotate rods 26, 28 in the counter rotating directions indicated by arrows 44, 46 (FIG. 1). By such constant rod movement, and because the rods are sloped, constant slippage between rods and corks is induced; and, thus the corks advance, that is slip, from the input station at 12 toward upper terminus 48 of delivery conduit 22.
  • rods 26, 28 are gradually reduced in diameter along confronting rod segments 50,52 to form a more or less hour glass profile immediately above upper terminus 48 of delivery conduit 22.
  • Such rod diameter reduction establishes opening 54 having diameter D between the rods wherein diameter D is larger than diameter d of the cork head portion.
  • a cork or work piece if positioned at opening 54 with the head thereof in vertical alignment with the remainder of the cork, will drop through opening 54 and be exited at delivery station 20 passing through terminus 48 and conduit 22 in the desired predetermined work piece orientation referred to hereinabove.
  • deflectors 54, 56 associated, respectively, with rods 26, 28.
  • deflectors 55, 56 are comprised of the same elements, so that only deflector $5 is described herein, it being understood that the same description applies to deflector 56. More specifically deflector 55 provides frusto-conical surface 58 which is formed at one face of cylinder 60 secured to rod 26. As a cork exemplified by the one shown at position I (FIG. 2) advances on rods 26, 28 toward the general region of delivery station 20, the piece crosses over opening 54 unable to pass therethrough, since the size of the cork head on its side is too large to pass through opening 54. Immediately thereafter, however, as shown by the cork at position II, one side of the head end of the cork encounters frustoconical surface 58 of deflector 56.
  • deflectors 55, 56 may be formed integrally with shafts 26, 28, I prefer that these elements be separately fabricated and provided with through bores for slidable placement on the shafts. The deflectors may then be secured in place by means of set screws or the like; but by employing such separate assembly, some adjustment may be achieved in the placement thereof upon the shaft, so that somewhat different size corks or other work objects may be handled.
  • end shield 62 (FIG. 1) is provided. That is, as succeeding corks advance along rods 26, 28 to the vicinity of opening 54, and come into contact with the cork that is unable to proceed, such contact by successive work objects will push the recalcitrant member up over the sloping face of shield 62 to thereafter be manually recycled or rejected altogether, should the cause of its delay be an irregularity of sufficient magnitude to require such rejection.
  • FIGS. 2 and 4 particularly to explain further that feature of my invention which prevents excess tumbling of corks or other work objects as they proceed along rods 26, 28 that could result in a chance occurrence of the object plunging undesirably head first through opening 54.
  • Such undesired occurrence is prevented by bridge bafile plate 40.
  • bridge baffle 40 assures toppling of a cork which initially strikes head first on rods 26,28.
  • FIG. 4 I show a similar cork or work object which at position I therein is dropping with the smaller width portion of the cork headed downward between rods 26, 28.
  • the work piece has further advanced downwardly between the rods, but now can gono further because of contact between the enlarged head portion of the cork and rods 26, 28.
  • plate 40 is in the form of an elongate plate secured by conventional means such as weldment or bolting to side shield 42, and located so as to form a surface parallel to rods 26, 28 at normal distance therefrom less than the length of the smaller width portion of the work piece plus that portion of the head about which the entire cork would have to pivot when supported between the elongate rods to continue tumbling or bouncing in the direction of arrow 68,
  • normal distance 70 is selected to be greater than the distance occupied by the head portion of the piece when the latter is supported between rods 26, 28 and pivoted (by the action of the weight of the head, slope of rods, and movement therealong as explained hereinabove) from upright position IV in the direction or arrows 72 and 74 to position V, wherein the head portion rests upon its side facing toward the delivery station zone at 20.
  • a further significant benefit which my invention derives from the action of bridge bafile plate 40 is that it enables my unscrambler to reliably process work pieces whose head portions, while more or less cylindrical in the broadest sense, are also rounded off at the top, or even bullet shaped a common configuration of plastic stoppers now sometimes employed by certain beverage manufacturers.
  • Such pieces have what may also be described as mushroom shaped heads, and when introduced into an unscrambler of the type embracing my invention tend to bounce and roll even more so than the cork variety having relatively uniform cylindrical head portions.
  • even pieces with such mushroom shaped heads could be oriented and delivered at delivery station 20 in upright position.
  • bridge baffie plate 4% makes it possible to even eliminate entirely plate 36. Indeed, in some cases this is advantageous because plate 36 sometimes tilts the corks and in rare cases this may cause clogging or slow down of the corks progress through the unscrambler.
  • the purpose of plate 36 is to cause the corks to tumble in those instances when the smaller diameter portion initially depends between the rods. This is also the case when a cork commences advancement along the rods in a fast bounce or tumble which, unless inhibited as by the action of plate 36, may result in the undesirable head-first egress of the cork through opening 54.
  • bridge baffle 40 also prevents the latter type of undesirable tumbling; and hence when used, as I prefer to do, positively assures the function of plate 36.
  • plate 36 also, more or less, acts to some degree as a substitute for bridge plate 40; but I prefer the embodiment of my invention employing the bridge plate.
  • each of guide assemblies 30 comprise vertical support members 78, 80 which at their base are pivotally supported on fixed pins 82, 84; and these in turn are fixedly secured by conventional means to base block 86 and motor platform 88.
  • Vertical supports 78, 80 are each free to rotate except that mating gears 90, 92 are respectively affixed to each support.
  • the upper ends of the support are constrained from separation by tension spring 94, opposite ends of which are secured to pins 96, 98; and these in turn are attached to blocks 100, 102.
  • adjusting screw 104 acts to the contrary. That is screw 104 threadedly engages vertical support 80 through the appropriate threaded bore therethrough and bares its free end against vertical support 100. Thus by threadedly engaging or disengaging the adjusting screw through its bore, and up against the edge of support 100, the interval therebetween may be varied, although spring 94 retains the supports in firm position. Since the lower end of supports 78,80 are ganged together by relatively fixed gears 90, 92, the amount of movement by each support as the adjusting screw is turned in or out remains relatively constant in respect to each other, and substantially symmetrical with respect to the vertical centerline therebetween (not shown).
  • Each of rods 26, 28 are separately journalled at one end thereof in blocks and 102, respectively, including a portion of such journalling in the upper ends of supports 78, 80 including spacer bosses 106, 108.
  • cantilever channels 110, 1 12 which shield the rods and at the same time provide support for upper shields 42, 43; and lower shields 38, 39. In this manner each of the rods are separately carried by their respective vertical support members; and cantilever therefrom to section A of the device previously described in greater detail.
  • Rotation of rods 26, 28 is accomplished by means of drive assembly 114 comprising a gear motor or other source of rotational power (not shown) coupled to drive shaft 116 at the place where the shaft is shown interrupted on the drawing.
  • Shaft 116 is provided at one end thereof with drive sprocket 118 which in turn drives chain 120, the latter being coupled to sprocket 122 which rides freely on shaft 82.
  • Sprocket 122 in turn is fixedly secured to sprocket 124 which drivably engages chain 126, the latter being endlessly linked about sprocket 128.
  • Sprocket 128 is secured to shaft 26 at the portion thereof protruding through vertical support 78 and spacer boss 106 so as to powerably rotate the shaft when the source of rotational power is turned on at shaft 116.
  • rod 28 is driven in a manner and by mechanical components similar to those described above in connection with rod 26. More specifically, gear 130 is fixedly secured to sprocket 124 so that as the latter rotates so does the former. In turn gear 130 engages its mate 132 freely rotatably mounted on shaft 84 which thus causes counter rotation of sprocket 134 to which gear 132 is fixedly secured. In turn chain 136 coupled to sprocket 134 drives sprocket 138 secured to rod 28.
  • rods 26, 28 counter rotate in the direction of circular arrows 44, 46; and especially in the case of cork work objects, the rotation is such that when viewed from the sprocket end of the drive, rod 26 turns in a counter clockwise direction and rod 28 in a clockwise direction.
  • my invention embodies the useful feature that the interval between rods 26, 28 may be varied relatively easily by merely turning adjusting screw 104 so that it separates vertical supports 78, 80 to a greater or lesser amount. Moreover such adjustment may be made without altering the drive chain assembly itself and even during actual operation, so that should the generally uniform size of work pieces or corks be changed during operation, the distance between rods 26, 28 may be changed by the operator to achieve optimum operating results.
  • my invention also embraces a novel method for processing work objects of generally uniform shape, such as corks for bottling certain beverages and the like, such objects being characterized by a head portion of greater weight than the remainder of the object, and wherein a plurality of said objects provide a randomly oriented source thereof.
  • work objects of generally uniform shape, such as corks for bottling certain beverages and the like, such objects being characterized by a head portion of greater weight than the remainder of the object, and wherein a plurality of said objects provide a randomly oriented source thereof.
  • deflector means secured to each of said rods at the end proximate said reduced section thereof, said deflector means to engage the head portion of a work object advanced thereto and cause such work object to be positioned to said predetermined orientation.
  • said work object is further characterized as comprising in addition to said one portion a second portion coaxial thereto and also having a generally circular cross section, and said predetermined oriented position occurs when said one portion is in vertical alignment above said second portion, and wherein further said deflector means comprises:
  • a frusto-conical surface formed concentrically about the central longitudinal axis of the rod upon which it is carried and located to face said opening.
  • a bridge baffle plate and means for securing same in positionabove at least one of said rods proximate to said input station said baffle plate located in a plane substantially parallel to said elongate rods and having one transverse edge thereof proximate to said input station and the other to said delivery station, the normal distance from said elongate rods to said baffle plate being less than the distance required to pivotally rotate said work piece with the head portion thereof supported between said rods and the smaller width portion in movement thereabout, and greater than the distance occupied by the head portion of said piece when the latter is supported between said rods and pivoted from an upright position to the position wherein the head portion rests upon its side facing toward said delivery station, so that tumbling by said work piece once advanced along and between said rods is constrained to the latter recited movement.
