Description
Dispositif de maintien d'un tube souple, scellé à une extrémité, et destiné à contenir un produit visqueux Device for holding a flexible tube, sealed at one end, and intended to contain a viscous product
L'invention concerne un dispositif de maintien, en vue du remplissage, d'un tube souple, scellé à une extrémité, et destiné à contenir un produit visqueux, sous forme de pâte ou de gel par exemple. The invention relates to a device for holding, for filling, a flexible tube, sealed at one end, and intended to contain a viscous product, in the form of paste or gel, for example.
Les tubes scellés sont remplis par le col. Le remplissage par le col permet d'éviter le volume mort constaté dans les tubes remplis par le fond avant scellage. Il en résulte un double avantage : d'abord une optimisation du volume utile dans le tube, ensuite une meilleure préservation du produit contenu dans le tube. En raison de leur forme, les tubes scellés sont généralement remplis de façon manuelle ou semi-automatisée. The sealed tubes are filled by the neck. The filling by the neck makes it possible to avoid the dead volume found in the tubes filled by the bottom before sealing. This results in a double advantage: first an optimization of the useful volume in the tube, then a better preservation of the product contained in the tube. Because of their shape, sealed tubes are usually filled manually or semi-automated.
Pour certaines applications, des tubes souples à vidage intégral sont proposés. For some applications, flexible tubes with integral emptying are proposed.
Ces tubes comportent une poche déformable qui accompagne le produit au fur et à mesure de son extraction par pompage manuel, de sorte que l'air extérieur n'entre pas dans le tube. These tubes comprise a deformable bag that accompanies the product as it is extracted by manual pumping, so that the outside air does not enter the tube.
Le problème technique à résoudre pour que le remplissage des tubes scellés soit automatisé est celui du maintien et du centrage en position verticale des tubes avec le col en haut. En effet, au départ, le tube est cylindrique avec une extrémité supérieure portant un col apte à recevoir un capuchon, vissé par exemple, et une extrémité inférieure ouverte. Lorsque l'extrémité inférieure ouverte est scellée par pincement par exemple, la longueur de la fermeture est supérieure au diamètre du tube. D'une part, la fermeture est en ligne droite ou courbe et ne peut, seule, servir d'assise au maintien stable du tube en position verticale, d'autre part, le guidage du tube par une pince cylindrique, même partiellement ouverte, ne peut assurer avec certitude et sécurité le libre passage de l'extrémité fermée du tube. Par ailleurs, si le tube est porté par une pince, son maintien impose une contrainte latérale au détriment de son remplissage. The technical problem to be solved so that the filling of the sealed tubes is automated is that of maintaining and centering in the vertical position of the tubes with the neck at the top. Indeed, initially, the tube is cylindrical with an upper end carrying a neck adapted to receive a cap, screwed for example, and an open lower end. When the open bottom end is pinched, for example, the length of the closure is greater than the diameter of the tube. On the one hand, the closure is in a straight line or curve and can not, alone, serve as a base for maintaining the tube in a vertical position, secondly, the guide of the tube by a cylindrical clamp, even partially open, can not ensure with certainty and security the free passage of the closed end of the tube. Moreover, if the tube is carried by a clamp, maintaining it imposes a lateral constraint to the detriment of its filling.
Un but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de maintien et de centrage d'un tube souple, scellé à une extrémité, et destiné à contenir un produit visqueux, qui ne présente pas au moins l'un des inconvénients précités et qui soit d'usage simple et pratique.
Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de maintien en position verticale d'un tube souple, scellé à une extrémité, le dispositif étant apte à être déplacé sur une chaîne banalisée de remplissage automatique de flacons ou de tubes classiques. Un autre but est de faciliter la réalisation du dispositif qui peut être monobloc, contrairement à un dispositif à pinces, et dont un mode particulier de réalisation est le moulage avec un gabarit. An object of the invention is to provide a device for holding and centering a flexible tube, sealed at one end, and intended to contain a viscous product, which does not have at least one of the aforementioned drawbacks and which is simple and practical use. Another object of the invention is to provide a device for holding a flexible tube in a vertical position, sealed at one end, the device being able to be moved on an unmarked chain for automatic filling of bottles or conventional tubes. Another object is to facilitate the realization of the device which can be monobloc, unlike a clamp device, and a particular embodiment of which is the molding with a jig.
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de maintien d'un tube souple, scellé à une extrémité, et destiné à contenir un produit visqueux, le tube étant de forme générale cylindrique et maintenu sensiblement vertical avec son extrémité inférieure scellée, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une cavité centrale dont le fond est constitué par un sillon apte à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure scellée du tube et dont l'ouverture est en forme de bouche. The invention relates to a device for holding a flexible tube, sealed at one end, and intended to contain a viscous product, the tube being generally cylindrical in shape and kept substantially vertical with its sealed lower end, characterized in that it comprises a central cavity whose bottom is constituted by a groove adapted to receive the sealed lower end of the tube and whose opening is mouth-shaped.
Avantageusement, l'ouverture dans sa plus grande dimension reçoit l'extrémité scellée du tube, et dans sa plus petite dimension reçoit la partie cylindrique du tube.Advantageously, the opening in its largest dimension receives the sealed end of the tube, and in its smallest dimension receives the cylindrical portion of the tube.
De manière avantageuse, l'ouverture se compose de deux arcs de cercle symétriques, reliés à deux commissures, placées aux extrémités de la plus grande dimension de l'ouverture. Advantageously, the opening consists of two symmetrical circular arcs, connected to two commissures, placed at the ends of the largest dimension of the opening.
Avantageusement, la plus grande dimension horizontale de la cavité reste sensiblement constante entre l'ouverture et le fond pour que l'extrémité inférieure scellée du tube descende jusqu'au fond et s'y appuie. Advantageously, the largest horizontal dimension of the cavity remains substantially constant between the opening and the bottom so that the sealed lower end of the tube down to the bottom and is supported.
De manière avantageuse, dans le plan passant par la plus petite dimension de l'ouverture, la trace de la cavité descend depuis l'ouverture en deux traits d'abord parallèles, puis se rapprochant pour se rejoindre au fond de la cavité. Advantageously, in the plane passing through the smallest dimension of the opening, the trace of the cavity descends from the opening in two lines initially parallel, then approaching to meet at the bottom of the cavity.
L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres buts, détails, caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, donné uniquement à titre illustratif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés. The invention will be better understood, and other objects, details, features and advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the following description of a particular embodiment of the invention, given solely for illustrative purposes and non-limiting, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Sur les dessins : On the drawings:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un mode de réalisation du dispositif de maintien du tube souple selon l'invention ;
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe selon le plan de symétrie passant par le sillon du fond du dispositif de la figure 1 ; FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the device for holding the flexible tube according to the invention; - Figure 2 is a sectional view along the plane of symmetry passing through the groove of the bottom of the device of Figure 1;
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon le plan de symétrie perpendiculaire au sillon du fond du dispositif, c'est-à-dire perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 2 ; - Figure 3 is a sectional view along the plane of symmetry perpendicular to the groove of the bottom of the device, that is to say perpendicular to the plane of Figure 2;
- la figure 4 est une vue de dessus du dispositif de maintien du tube souple de la figure 1. - Figure 4 is a top view of the holding device of the flexible tube of Figure 1.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation des figures, le dispositif 1 de maintien du tube 2 souple a une forme extérieure cylindrique et une base 3 sensiblement ellipsoïdale, mais ces formes géométriques ne sont pas impératives. La face supérieure 4 du dispositif 1 présente une ouverture 5 en forme de bouche dont la plus grande dimension reçoit l'extrémité 6, scellée, du tube 2, et dont la plus petite dimension reçoit la partie cylindrique 7 du tube 2. En dessous de l'ouverture 5, le dispositif de maintien 1 présente une cavité centrale 8, dont la plus grande dimension horizontale reste sensiblement constante jusqu'au fond de la cavité 8 pour que l'extrémité inférieure scellée 6 du tube 2 puisse descendre jusqu'au fond et s'y appuyer, le tube 2 étant alors vertical et ouvert en haut en vue de son remplissage (figure 2). In the embodiment of the figures, the device 1 for holding the flexible tube 2 has a cylindrical outer shape and a substantially ellipsoidal base 3, but these geometric shapes are not imperative. The upper face 4 of the device 1 has a mouth-shaped opening 5 whose largest dimension receives the sealed end 6 of the tube 2, and whose smallest dimension receives the cylindrical portion 7 of the tube 2. Below the opening 5, the holding device 1 has a central cavity 8, the largest horizontal dimension remains substantially constant to the bottom of the cavity 8 so that the sealed lower end 6 of the tube 2 can go down to the bottom and lean against it, tube 2 then being vertical and open at the top for filling (Figure 2).
Dans le plan de symétrie de la cavité 8 passant par la plus grande dimension de l'ouverture 5, la trace de la cavité 8 est sensiblement rectangulaire. Dans le plan de symétrie de la cavité 8 perpendiculaire au précédent, c'est-à-dire dans le plan passant par la plus petite dimension de l'ouverture 5, la trace de la cavité 8 descend depuis l'ouverture 5 en deux traits 9, 10, d'abord parallèles, qui ensuite se rapprochent pour se rejoindre au fond de la cavité 8 (figure 3). La courbure des traits 9, 10, correspond sensiblement à la forme de la partie inférieure du tube 2 perpendiculairement à son extrémité scellée 6. Le fond de la cavité 8 est constitué par un sillon 15, apte à assurer le guidage de l'extrémité scellée 6 du tube 2, que cette extrémité soit rectiligne ou courbe. In the plane of symmetry of the cavity 8 passing through the largest dimension of the opening 5, the trace of the cavity 8 is substantially rectangular. In the plane of symmetry of the cavity 8 perpendicular to the preceding, that is to say in the plane passing through the smallest dimension of the opening 5, the trace of the cavity 8 descends from the opening 5 in two lines. 9, 10, first parallel, which then come closer to meet at the bottom of the cavity 8 (Figure 3). The curvature of the lines 9, 10 substantially corresponds to the shape of the lower part of the tube 2 perpendicular to its sealed end 6. The bottom of the cavity 8 is constituted by a groove 15, capable of guiding the sealed end 6 of the tube 2, that this end is straight or curved.
Ainsi, dans sa plus petite dimension transversale, la cavité 8 a sensiblement le même profil que le tube 2 et assure son maintien stable en position. Thus, in its smallest transverse dimension, the cavity 8 has substantially the same profile as the tube 2 and ensures its stable retention in position.
Le dispositif de maintien 1 du tube 2 est rigide et stable, il assure le maintien du tube 2 sur une chaîne de remplissage du tube, puis d'operculage et/ou de fermeture de la partie supérieure du tube 2. La forme de la cavité 8 assure l'insertion du tube 2 vide,
le centrage du tube 2, le maintien du tube 2 pendant son remplissage à cadence élevée, la protection de la décoration extérieure du tube 2, et la libération du tube 2 ou son éjection par basculement, par exemple. The holding device 1 of the tube 2 is rigid and stable, it ensures the maintenance of the tube 2 on a filling chain of the tube, and then sealing and / or closing of the upper part of the tube 2. The shape of the cavity 8 ensures the insertion of the empty tube 2, the centering of the tube 2, the maintenance of the tube 2 during its filling at a high rate, the protection of the external decoration of the tube 2, and the release of the tube 2 or its ejection by tilting, for example.
Les dimensions intérieures de la cavité 8 sont adaptées à un format de tube. La forme et les dimensions extérieures du dispositif de maintien sont adaptées aux impératifs de la chaîne de remplissage des tubes. Le dispositif de maintien est avantageusement réalisé sous forme d'un bloc en matière plastique qui peut être plus ou moins ajouré. The internal dimensions of the cavity 8 are adapted to a tube format. The shape and outer dimensions of the holding device are adapted to the requirements of the tube filling line. The holding device is advantageously made in the form of a plastic block which may be more or less perforated.
L'ouverture 5 à la partie supérieure du dispositif de maintien se compose de deux arcs de cercle, 11, 12, symétriques, d'environ 30 à 90° chacun, destinés à maintenir le tube dans sa partie cylindrique, les arcs de cercle étant reliés à deux commissures 13, 14 placées aux extrémités de la plus grande dimension de l'ouverture 5 (figure 4).The opening 5 at the upper part of the holding device consists of two arcs of circle, 11, 12, symmetrical, of approximately 30 to 90 ° each, intended to hold the tube in its cylindrical part, the arcs of circle being connected to two commissures 13, 14 placed at the ends of the largest dimension of the opening 5 (Figure 4).
Il n'est pas nécessaire d'assurer une zone de contact entre le dispositif et le tube sur toute la surface du tube. Il suffit d'avoir une zone annulaire avec une ouverture en forme de bouche qui maintient la partie supérieure du tube et un socle muni d'un sillon pour maintenir l'extrémité scellée. La zone annulaire et le socle peuvent être reliés par une barre rigide. Les zones découvertes du tube peuvent notamment permettre le marquage du numéro de lot sur le tube, sur la ligne automatisée de remplissage sans sortir le tube du dispositif. De plus, la limitation des zones de contact facilite l'insertion et l'éjection du tube. Le dispositif aux parois pleines comme figurant sur les dessins, est donc un mode de réalisation particulier. It is not necessary to provide a contact zone between the device and the tube over the entire surface of the tube. It is sufficient to have an annular area with a mouth-shaped opening that holds the top of the tube and a plinth with a groove to hold the end sealed. The annular zone and the base can be connected by a rigid bar. The open areas of the tube may in particular allow marking of the batch number on the tube on the automated filling line without removing the tube from the device. In addition, the limitation of the contact areas facilitates insertion and ejection of the tube. The device with solid walls as shown in the drawings, is a particular embodiment.
