Antecedentes de Ia invenciónBackground of the invention
Actualmente son ampliamente conocidas en el mercado las encorchadoras automáticas empleadas en plantas embotelladoras y que realizan automáticamente Ia introducción de un tapón de corcho en el cuello de las botellas, cerrándolas una vez llenas.Currently, automatic corking machines used in bottling plants and which automatically introduce a cork stopper in the neck of the bottles, closing them once full, are widely known in the market.
Estas encorchadoras automáticas son complejas y tienen un coste elevado por Io que su uso va destinado de forma prácticamente exclusiva a plantas embote- lladoras que realizan el corchado de grandes series de botellas y permiten amortizar el coste de Ia encorchadora automática.These automatic corking machines are complex and have a high cost so that their use is destined almost exclusively to bottling plants that perform the corking of large series of bottles and allow the cost of the automatic corking to be amortized.
Para realizar el encorchado de series muy pequeñas de botellas, se utilizan habitualmente encorchadoras manuales. Estas encorchadoras manuales disponen generalmente de un cuerpo tubular en el que se introduce manualmente el tapón y que se dispone enfrentado con el cuello de Ia botella, de forma que accionar manualmente un mecanismo empujador se consigue el avance del tapón por el interior del mencionado cuerpo tubular y su introducción en el cuello de Ia botella, consiguiendo su cierre.To cork very small series of bottles, manual corkers are commonly used. These manual corkers generally have a tubular body in which the cap is inserted manually and is arranged facing the neck of the bottle, so that manually pushing a pusher mechanism is achieved the advance of the cap through the interior of said tubular body and its introduction in the neck of the bottle, getting its closure.
En las encorchadoras manuales conocidas actualmente el mecanismo empujador del tapón comprende de forma generalizada un vastago liso, alineado axial- mente con el cuerpo tubular y asociado a unos juegos de palancas articuladas en posiciones diametralmente opuestas sobre el cuerpo tubular.In the currently known manual corkscrews, the cap pusher mechanism generally comprises a smooth rod, axially aligned with the tubular body and associated with sets of articulated levers in diametrically opposite positions on the tubular body.
El abatimiento manual de estas palancas articuladas en dirección vertical provoca el desplazamiento vertical y rectilíneo del vastago empujador por el interior del cuerpo tubular.The manual folding of these articulated levers in the vertical direction causes the vertical and rectilinear movement of the pusher rod through the interior of the tubular body.
Uno de los inconvenientes de este tipo de encorchadoras es que se re- quiere Ia aplicación de una fuerza importante sobre las palancas para conseguir Ia in- troducción del tapón en el cuello de Ia botella, Io que supone un problema cuando se desea realizar el corchado consecutivo de varias botellas.One of the drawbacks of this type of corking machine is that the application of an important force on the levers is required to achieve the troduction of the cap in the neck of the bottle, which is a problem when it is desired to perform the consecutive corking of several bottles.
Otro de los problemas de estas encorchadoras es que su fijación sobre Ia botella durante Ia operación de corchado se consigue pinzando lateralmente el cuello de Ia botella con el extremo inferior de las palancas de accionamiento, proporcionando esta técnica una fijación inestable de Ia encorchadora sobre Ia botella.Another of the problems of these corkers is that their fixation on the bottle during the corking operation is achieved by laterally pinching the neck of the bottle with the lower end of the operating levers, this technique providing an unstable fixation of the corking on the bottle .
Descripción de Ia invenciónDescription of the invention
La encorchadora manual de esta invención, siendo de las empleadas para Ia introducción en el cuello de las botellas de un tapón sensiblemente cilindrico de corcho u otro material con un cierto grado de elasticidad y que comprenden un cuerpo tubular para el posicionamiento del tapón en una posición enfrentada con el cuello de Ia botella y un mecanismo empujador de accionamiento manual, presenta unas particularidades constructivas orientadas a reducir notablemente el esfuerzo a realizar para conseguir Ia introducción del tapón en el interior del cuello de Ia botella y a garantizar un posicionamiento estable de Ia encorchadora sobre Ia botella durante Ia introducción del tapón.The manual corking machine of this invention, being those used for the introduction into the neck of the bottles of a cylindrical cork or other material with a certain degree of elasticity and comprising a tubular body for positioning the cap in a position faced with the neck of the bottle and a manually operated pusher mechanism, it presents constructive particularities oriented to significantly reduce the effort to be made to achieve the introduction of the cap inside the neck of the bottle and to guarantee a stable positioning of the corking on The bottle during the introduction of the cap.
Para ello, y de acuerdo con Ia invención, el mecanismo empujador de esta encorchadora manual comprende un vastago roscado sobre cuyo extremo anterior se encuentra montado un capuchón de giro libre, destinado a actuar contra Ia superficie posterior del corcho para provocar su avance, y sobre cuyo extremo posterior se encuentra montada una manivela para su accionamiento giratorio.For this, and in accordance with the invention, the pushing mechanism of this manual corker comprises a threaded rod on whose front end a free-rotating cap is mounted, intended to act against the rear surface of the cork to cause its advance, and on whose rear end is mounted a crank for its rotary drive.
El mencionado vastago roscado se encuentra montado sobre una pieza tubular que presenta interiormente una rosca complementaria a Ia rosca de dicho vásta- go roscado, de forma que al provocar el giro del vastago roscado mediante el accionamiento de Ia manivela, dicho vastago avanza o retrocede por efecto de Ia rosca respecto a Ia mencionada pieza tubular.Said threaded rod is mounted on a tubular piece that internally has a thread complementary to the thread of said threaded rod, so that when the threaded rod is rotated by actuating the crank, said rod moves forward or backward by effect of the thread with respect to the mentioned tubular part.
Dicha pieza tubular está montada sobre Ia zona posterior del cuerpo tu- bular por medio de una bisagra lateral, con posibilidad de abatimiento entre una posi- ción de cierre y una posición de apertura.Said tubular piece is mounted on the posterior area of the tubular body by means of a lateral hinge, with the possibility of abatement between a position closing position and an opening position.
En Ia mencionada posición de cierre Ia pieza tubular y el cuerpo tubular se disponen enfrentados y alineados axialmente, mientras que en Ia posición de apertu- ra dicha pieza tubular se dispone abatida lateralmente, desalineada respecto al cuerpo tubular y desplazada respecto a Ia proyección axial de Ia boca posterior del cuerpo tubular, permitiendo Ia introducción del corcho a utilizar en el interior del mencionado cuerpo tubular por su extremo o boca posterior.In said closing position, the tubular part and the tubular body are arranged facing and aligned axially, while in the opening position said tubular part is disposed laterally, misaligned with respect to the tubular body and displaced with respect to the axial projection of The rear mouth of the tubular body, allowing the introduction of the cork to be used inside said tubular body by its end or rear mouth.
La pieza tubular y el cuerpo tubular presentan lateralmente, próximos a los extremos enfrentados, unos medios de enganche para su retención en Ia posición de cierre. Dichos medios de enganche están diametralmente opuestos a Ia bisagra lateral y comprenden un tope fijo y un gatillo basculante montado sobre un eje de giro, actuando sobre dicho gatillo un resorte que tiende a mantenerlo en una posición de reten- ción del tope.The tubular part and the tubular body have laterally, close to the opposite ends, hooking means for retention in the closed position. Said coupling means are diametrically opposed to the lateral hinge and comprise a fixed stop and a tilting trigger mounted on a rotation axis, said spring acting on a trigger that tends to keep it in a stop position of the stop.
Según Ia invención, el cuerpo tubular dispone en su extremo anterior de una embocadura que presenta una abertura lateral para Ia introducción en dirección lateral del gollete de Ia botella a corchar, y un rebaje perimetral interior para Ia retención del gollete de Ia botella sin posibilidad de desplazamiento en dirección axial.According to the invention, the tubular body has at its front end a mouth that has a lateral opening for the introduction in the lateral direction of the neck of the bottle to be corked, and an interior perimeter recess for the retention of the neck of the bottle without the possibility of displacement in axial direction.
El vastago roscado presenta en su extremo posterior un regruesamiento con un rebaje transversal para el alojamiento del extremo proximal de Ia manivela, sin posibilidad de giro relativo respecto al eje longitudinal del vastago roscado, de forma que al girar manualmente Ia manivela, dicho giro se transmite al vastago roscado.The threaded rod has at its rear end a thickening with a transverse recess for the housing of the proximal end of the crank, without the possibility of relative rotation with respect to the longitudinal axis of the threaded rod, so that by turning the crank manually, said rotation is transmitted to the threaded rod.
El extremo proximal de Ia manivela se encuentra fijado en el interior del rebaje transversal mediante un eje de giro dispuesto perpendicularmente a dicho rebaje transversal y al eje longitudinal del vastago roscado, posibilitando dicho eje de giro el abatimiento de Ia manivela entre una posición operativa, en Ia qué dicha manivela se dispone perpendicularmente al eje de giro del vastago roscado, y una posición inoperante en Ia qué dicha manivela se dispone sensiblemente paralela al vastago roscado y adosada lateralmente a Ia superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular.The proximal end of the crank is fixed inside the transverse recess by means of an axis of rotation arranged perpendicularly to said transverse recess and to the longitudinal axis of the threaded rod, said axis of rotation enabling the crank of the crank between an operative position, in Ia which said crank is arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the threaded rod, and an inoperative position in which said crank is disposed substantially parallel to the threaded rod and laterally attached to the outer surface of the tubular body.
La manivela presenta en su extremo distal un pomo de accionamiento - A -The crank has a drive knob at its distal end - TO -
que, en Ia posición inoperante de Ia manivela, se introduce a través de Ia ventana lateral en Ia embocadura anterior del cuerpo tubular.which, in the inoperative position of the crank, is introduced through the lateral window into the anterior mouth of the tubular body.
Este cuerpo tubular dispone interiormente de una funda o camisa de ma- terial antifricción, cuyo pasaje interior define una superficie troncocónica, de sección decreciente hacia Ia zona anterior del cuerpo tubular, de forma que al ser empujado el tapón por el capuchón giratorio del vastago roscado, dicho tapón se comprime periféricamente a medida que avanza por el interior del cuerpo tubular, hasta alcanzar un diámetro ligeramente inferior al diámetro interior del cuello de Ia botella, facilitando su intro- ducción en el interior de dicho cuello.This tubular body internally has a sleeve or jacket of anti-friction material, whose inner passage defines a truncated conical surface, of decreasing section towards the anterior area of the tubular body, so that when the plug is pushed by the rotating cap of the threaded rod , said cap is compressed peripherally as it advances through the inside of the tubular body, until it reaches a diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the neck of the bottle, facilitating its introduction into the inside of said neck.
Se ha previsto que el vastago roscado presente en su extremo anterior una prominencia axial sobre Ia que se encuentra montado el capuchón giratorio con interposición de un elemento antifricción, presentando dicha prominencia axial del vás- tago en su extremo libre un regruesamiento que actúa de tope frontal de un pasador de retención del capuchón giratorio en Ia posición de montaje.It is provided that the threaded rod has an axial prominence at its anterior end on which the rotating cap is mounted with interposition of an antifriction element, said axial prominence of the rod at its free end having a thickening that acts as a frontal stop of a retaining pin of the rotating cap in the mounting position.

Como se puede observar en las figuras adjuntas Ia encorchadora manual de Ia invención comprende un cuerpo tubular (1) que presenta en su extremo anterior una embocadura (11) provista de una abertura lateral (12) para Ia introducción del cuello de Ia botella (9) a corchar y un regruesamiento perimetral (13) para Ia retención del cuello de Ia botella en el interior de Ia mencionada embocadura (11) del cuerpo tubular (1).As can be seen in the attached figures, the manual corking of the invention comprises a tubular body (1) which has at its front end a mouth (11) provided with a lateral opening (12) for the introduction of the neck of the bottle (9 ) to be corked and a perimetral thickening (13) for the retention of the neck of the bottle inside the mentioned mouthpiece (11) of the tubular body (1).
El extremo posterior del cuerpo tubular (1) dispone lateralmente de una bisagra (3) para el montaje articulado de una pieza tubular (2) que presenta interiormente una rosca (21) para el montaje de un vastago roscado (4) que presenta exteriormente una rosca (41) complementaria a Ia rosca (21) de Ia pieza tubular (2).The rear end of the tubular body (1) has a hinge (3) laterally for the articulated assembly of a tubular piece (2) that internally has a thread (21) for the assembly of a threaded rod (4) that externally has a thread (41) complementary to the thread (21) of the tubular part (2).
La bisagra (3) permite el abatimiento de Ia pieza tubular (2) respecto al cuerpo tubular (1) entre Ia posición de cierre representada en Ia figura 4 y Ia posición de apertura representada en Ia figura 5.The hinge (3) allows the folding of the tubular part (2) with respect to the tubular body (1) between the closed position represented in Figure 4 and the position of opening shown in Figure 5.
Para Ia retención de Ia pieza tubular (2) en Ia posición de cierre Ia pieza tubular (2) y el cuerpo tubular (1) presentan lateralmente y opuestos diametralmente a Ia bisagra (3) un tope fijo (22) y un gatillo basculante montado sobre un eje de giro (15) y presionado por un resorte (16) que tiende a mantener a dicho gatillo (14) en Ia posición de retención del tope (22).For the retention of the tubular part (2) in the closed position, the tubular part (2) and the tubular body (1) have a fixed stop (22) laterally and diametrically opposed to the hinge (3) and a mounted rocker trigger on an axis of rotation (15) and pressed by a spring (16) that tends to keep said trigger (14) in the position of retention of the stop (22).
En Ia posición de apertura de Ia pieza tubular (2), Ia boca posterior del cuerpo tubular (1) queda abierta permitiendo Ia introducción en su interior del tapón (8) a utilizar para cerrar Ia botella (9).In the opening position of the tubular part (2), the rear mouth of the tubular body (1) is open allowing the introduction inside the cap (8) to be used to close the bottle (9).
El vastago roscado (4) presenta en su extremo posterior un regruesa- miento (6) en el que se encuentra definido un rebaje transversal (61) para el alojamiento del extremo proximal de Ia manivela (7) que dispone en su extremo distal de un pomo de accionamiento (71).The threaded rod (4) has at its rear end a thickening (6) in which a transverse recess (61) is defined for the housing of the proximal end of the crank (7) which has at its distal end a drive knob (71).
La manivela (7) se encuentra asociada con el regruesamiento posterior (6) del vastago roscado (4) mediante un eje transversal (62) que permite el abatimiento de dicha manivela entre una posición desplegada y operativa representada por ejemplo en Ia figura 1 , y una posición inoperante representada en Ia figura 2.The crank (7) is associated with the subsequent thickening (6) of the threaded rod (4) by means of a transverse axis (62) that allows the crank of said crank between a deployed and operative position represented for example in Figure 1, and an inoperative position represented in figure 2.
Al transmitirle un movimiento de giro al vastago roscado (4) por medio de Ia manivela (7) dicho vastago roscado, que se encuentra montado sobre Ia rosca (21) de Ia pieza tubular (2) se desplaza en dirección axial en sentido ascendente o descendente.When transmitting a turning movement to the threaded rod (4) by means of the crank (7) said threaded rod, which is mounted on the thread (21) of the tubular part (2) moves in an axial direction upwards or falling.
Para evitar que el giro del vastago roscado (4) dañe el extremo posterior del tapón (8) al comunicarle un movimiento de empuje, dicho vastago roscado (4) pre- senta en su extremo anterior, tal como se muestra en las figuras 8 y 9, una prominencia axial (42) que remata en un regruesamiento (43), encontrándose montado exteriormente en dicho extremo del vastago y con interposición de una bola o elemento antifricción (10), un capuchón (5) posibilitado de giro libre y que es el encargado de comunicar el empuje del vastago roscado (41) a Ia superficie posterior del tapón (8). El capuchón (5) de giro libre es retenido en Ia posición de montaje por medio de un pasador transversal (51) descentrado y posicionado por detrás del regrue- samiento (43) de Ia prominencia axial (42) del mencionado vastago roscado (4).To prevent the rotation of the threaded rod (4) from damaging the rear end of the plug (8) when communicating a thrust movement, said threaded rod (4) is present at its front end, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, an axial prominence (42) that ends in a thickening (43), being mounted externally at said end of the rod and with interposition of a ball or anti-friction element (10), a cap (5) made possible of free rotation and which is the one in charge of communicating the thrust of the threaded rod (41) to the rear surface of the plug (8). The free-rotating cap (5) is retained in the mounting position by means of an offset cross pin (51) offset and positioned behind the regu- lation (43) of the axial prominence (42) of said threaded rod (4) .
Como se muestra en las figuras 6 y 7 el cuerpo tubular (1) presenta interiormente una funda o camisa (14) fabricada en material antifricción y cuya superficie interior es troncocónica, definiendo un pasaje de sección decreciente, hacia Ia zona anterior del cuerpo tubular.As shown in figures 6 and 7, the tubular body (1) internally has a sheath or jacket (14) made of antifriction material and whose inner surface is conical, defining a passage of decreasing section, towards the anterior area of the tubular body.
Como se puede observar en Ia secuencia de las figuras 2 a 7, para realizar Ia introducción de un tapón en el cuello de una botella y partiendo de Ia posición plegada de Ia encorchadora manual, es preciso desplegar Ia manivela tal como se muestra en Ia figura 3, girar Ia manivela en el sentido adecuado para conseguir Ia elevación del vastago roscado (4) (figura 4), a continuación accionar el gatillo (14) para liberar el tope (22) de Ia pieza tubular (2) y permitir el abatimiento de dicha pieza tubular (2) conjuntamente con el vastago tubular (4) y Ia manivela (7) a Ia posición de apertura representada en Ia figura 5, dejando libre Ia boca posterior del cuerpo tubular (1) para realizar manualmente Ia introducción del tapón (8) en su interior.As can be seen in the sequence of figures 2 to 7, to make the introduction of a stopper in the neck of a bottle and starting from the folded position of the manual corker, it is necessary to deploy the crank as shown in the figure 3, turn the crank in the proper direction to achieve the raising of the threaded rod (4) (figure 4), then actuate the trigger (14) to release the stop (22) of the tubular part (2) and allow the folding of said tubular piece (2) together with the tubular rod (4) and the crank (7) to the opening position represented in Figure 5, leaving the posterior mouth of the tubular body (1) free to manually insert the plug (8) inside.
A continuación se realiza el abatimiento de Ia pieza tubular (2) hacia Ia posición de cierre tal como se muestra en Ia figura 6 y se acciona Ia manivela en el sentido adecuado para conseguir el descenso del vastago roscado (4) y el empuje del tapón por medio del capuchón giratorio (5) hacia Ia zona inferior hasta introducirlo en el cuello del Ia botella (9) que se habrá introducido previamente y en dirección lateral en el interior de Ia embocadura (11) del cuerpo tubular (1). Next, the tubular part (2) is folded down towards the closed position as shown in Figure 6 and the crank is operated in the proper direction to achieve the descent of the threaded rod (4) and the thrust of the plug by means of the rotating cap (5) towards the lower zone until it is introduced into the neck of the bottle (9) that will have been previously introduced and in the lateral direction inside the mouth (11) of the tubular body (1).
