Description
METHOD FOR CONVEYING CONTAINERS. IN PARTICULAR CONTAINERS
MADE OF PLASTIC MATERIAL IN THE SUSPENDED CONDITION, AND
CONVEYOR
DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a method for conveying
containers, in particular containers made of plastic
material which are moved suspended by their necks, and to a conveyor for implementing said method.
At present it is known of empty plastic containers made
of PET or similar materials which are moved, suspended
via their projecting collars, by means of pneumatic conveyors, the latter having, however, numerous drawbacks
including the high noise level and power used, high
energy consumption and the possibility of the containers
becoming contaminated owing to the large volumes of air
displaced.
For this reason, solutions other than that of pneumatic
conveying have been experimented with. IT 1,190,535 discloses a conveyor for plastic containers
provided with a collar having at least one mechanical-
feed drive element which grips the containers to be
conveyed, and pushing and guiding devices for said drive
elements .
Drive elements in the form of motorized feed belts are described, these having bottles resting on them with
their collars and performing the dual function of driving
and supporting. Said feed belts may be structured as
hinged chains, flexible belts, a continuous flexible band, a shaped flexible cord or round profiled cord.
The aforementioned patent also decribes the possibility
of a stationary support guide associated with drive
elements consisting of rigid levers mounted on a feed belt and interfering from above or laterally with the
mouth of the containers.
The conveyors described in the aforementioned patent have
numerous drawbacks and in particular are unable to move
the containers properly along upward or curved sections,
with the result that said conveyors have never been
marketed.
Moreover, in the case of the rigid levers fixed to a
conveying belt, there is the further drawback that the
conveyor is unable to function should the containers
accumulate along the conveying line owing to an
interruption of the machine downstream.
IT 1,239,102 discloses an overhead mechanical transfer
line for empty plastic containers in which, alongside the
pair of longitudinal elements guiding and supporting the
collar of the containers, the active branch of a closed
longitudinal chain travels, said branch being housed in a shaped guide provided, at the same interval as the
interaxial distance of said containers, with elastic
lateral pushers projecting on the same side as the
containers themselves and formed with springs folded in the shape of an "L".
Although this solution resolves the problem of
accumulation, it gives rise to a high noise level due to
the springs which strike the neck of the containers; moreover these striking movements cause damage and
scoring of the body of the containers. A further
drawback consists in wear of the springs and frequent
breakage thereof.
IT 1,190,548 discloses a gripping conveyor for containers
in which the driving action is performed by the actual
links of the conveying chains which form a channel with
a width less than the diameter of the containers being
conveyed so that the latter are gripped during conveying.
It is obvious that this solution causes deformation of
the container during conveying with the possibility of
damage of the container itself.
The object of the present invention is that of eliminating the abovementioned drawbacks and providing a
conveying method and a conveyor for containers which is
able to manage efficiently the accumulation periods
without damaging the containers.
A further object is that of allowing efficient conveying of the containers along sloping sections and curved
sections.
Yet another object is that of enabling the use of feeding means which interfere only to a limited extent with the
body of the containers and which require a limited power
consumption.
Said objects are fully achieved by the method and the
conveyor forming the subject of the present invention,
which are characterized by the contents of the claims
indicated below.
In particular the method .is characterized in that it
comprises an operation of lateral pushing of the
containers which occurs above the collar and on both
sides thereof in a symmetrical manner with equal
distribution of the pushing forces.
The conveyor comprises two separate series of drive
elements, acting symmetrically on both sides of the
containers in an edge zone thereof.
These and other characteristic features will emerge more
clearly from the following description of two preferred
embodiments illustrated, purely by way of a non-limiting
example, in the accompanying illustrative plates, in which:
- Figures 1) and 2) show a vertical section through the
conveyor, highlighting respectively the zone of the
transportation pulleys and the travel-element support
guides;
- Figure 3) shows a detail of the drive elements along a
curved conveying section;
- Figure 4) shows a plan view of a detail of the drive elements;
- Figure 5) shows a variation of embodiment of the
conveyor in schematic form.
With reference to the Figures, 1 denotes a container made of plastic material (for example PET) provided with a
projecting collar 2, typically used in bottling plants.
3 denotes in its entirety a frame, supported by uprights
not shown or suspended from above, which houses the conveyor forming the subject of the present invention.
4 denotes two closed chains of rollers which travel over
respective pulleys 5 which have a substantially vertical axis and are two in number for each chain.
The chains may be replaced by belts or flexible conveying bands.
A drive system 6, which is only schematically illustrated
in Figure 1, causes rotation of a pulley 5 and hence the
respective chain. The other chain is moved by means of another similar drive system or may be moved by the
single drive system via an angular transmission which
causes rotation of the shaft of a pulley of the second
chain.
The two chains 4, which are coplanar with each other, are
provided at regular intervals with a plurality of drive
elements or pushers 7 intended to interfere laterally with the containers 1 in the zone above the collar 2.
The chains 4 are therefore motor-driven means for
advancing the drive elements.
The drive elements 7 consist of elements made of flexible
rubber (preferably rubber for alimentary purposes - NBR
or EPDM) formed with a sawtooth or ragged external
profile. The drive elements 7 may also consist of
brushes.
In the case of elements with a sawtooth or ragged
profile, each element 7 consists of a plurality of teeth
19 directed in the opposite direction to the direction of
feeding of the containers along a conveying channel 12.
The direction of feeding of the containers is indicated
by arrows 20 in Figures 3 and 4.
Said elements are fixed (or vulcanized) onto small plates
8 which by means of screws 9 are anchored to support
brackets 10 fixed to the links of the chain or belt.
Each container 1 rests with its collar 2 on a pair of
guides 11 which define the central channel 12 through
which the containers travel.
The width of this channel is adjustable since sliding
eyelets 14 are provided for the bolts 13 which anchor the guides 11 to the frame 3. In any case said channel must
be narrower than the diameter of the collar 2 of the
container.
In an original manner, the drive elements 7 act in a
symmetrical manner on the containers, interfering
laterally on both sides of the containers. The
interference zone is very small, since the distance
between facing drive elements is only 1-12 mm less than the external diameter of the mouth of the container, so
that each drive element 7 interferes with the container over about 0.5-6 mm.
In this case also the width of the channel defined by the
drive elements is adjustable. In fact, the chains 4
travel in guides 15, illustrated in Figure 2, which are
bolted at the top to the frame 3 where eyelets 16 are
formed so as to allow lateral adjustment of the guides 15
and hence the chains 4 and the drive elements 7.
Spacing support pins 17, connected to the chain guides
15, may also be correspondingly displaced laterally using
further eyelets 18.
21 denotes moreover the shafts of the pulleys 5, which may be fixed, as shown in Figure 1, or may be adjustable
with a system of eyelets simlar to that already described
for the chains 4 and guides 11.
With reference to Figure 5, this shows a variation of
embodiment in which the brackets 10 extend above the channel 12 and have a substantially "C" shape for
supporting a pair of facing elements 7, thereby avoiding
the use of the second chain 4.
In this case only one chain is required, said chain
carrying both series of facing and symmetrical pushers.
In both embodiments the brackets 10 may directly support
the elements 7 without the need for the intermediate
plates 8, as illustrated in Figure 5.
The present conveyor allows the containers to be moved
along both straight and curved paths, as illustrated in
Figure 3, this being made possible since the chain guides
15 are shaped according to the configuration of the path.
The frame 3 is a substantially closed frame which surrounds the conveying channel 12 and therefore favours hygienic isolation of the channel from the surrounding
environment.
In the case of mechanical conveyors of the known type which use a single chain provided with only one series of
pushers, the latter must be necessarily formed so as to
interact with the neck of the bottle over a length
greater than the radius of the mouth (otherwise the
containers would not move forward or would move forward inclined and pushed against the guide 11 opposite the
pushers) and this means that a certain force must be used
in order to push the containers.
In the case of the present conveyor, owing to the use of
a dual series of facing pushers, it is possible to reduce
considerably the contact zone between the latter and the container so that it is much less than half the radius of
the mouth of the container, ensure that the pushing force
on the container is exerted symmetrically on both facing sides, and reduce the pushing force required to move
forward the containers.
It is sufficient, in fact, to strike the containers
lightly in a symmetrical manner in order to cause feeding
thereof along the conveying channel 12.
