Definitions

  • the invention relates to a front table on vessel treatment machines, preferably on vessel or bottle filling machines.
  • the closing station for the filled vessels or bottles to the front table.
  • the front table then has at least three transport elements, one for feeding the vessels to be filled to the vessel or bottle filling station, one in the form of a transfer element for removing the filled vessels or bottles from the vessel or.
  • Bottle filling station and for transfer to the closing station as well as one for removing the closed containers or bottles from the closing station and for forwarding, for example, to a subsequent conveyor belt removing the containers or bottles.
  • the above-mentioned transport elements of the front table are each designed as transport stars, each of which has several circumferentially open and equally spaced at its circumference Has recesses (pockets) for receiving vessels.
  • the vessels received by the recesses of the transport stars are each moved on a part-circular conveyor line by the transport stars.
  • the vessel treatment machines available there are often used to process vessels or bottles with different sizes or with different diameters
  • Another disadvantage of the known front tables is that, due to the sliding guidance of the vessels on the guide surfaces of the guide railings and the sliding surfaces on which the vessels grind with their bottoms, the vessels can be transported without vibrations, but also the vessels can be transported without a certain own movement, eg rotation around the vertical axis of the vessel is not possible.
  • the latter has a disadvantageous effect, in particular, in the area of the transport star (transfer star) which serves as a transfer element, since a non-vibration-free conveyance of the filled containers transferred from the filling station to the closing station with this transport star can lead to a loss of filling material from the containers, for example due to the containers being over-foamed . Since, in the known front tables, the vessels are still held with "play" in the recesses of the transport stars, a relatively high noise level also results when the vessels are transported in the transport stars.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a front table of the type described in such a way that processing of vessels of different sizes or diameters without the guide rail concerned Retrofitting measures are possible, and in addition that the vessels are kept free of play in the at least one transport star serving as a transport element.
  • the securing element for the vessels in the recesses of the transport star is not an outer guide railing or a guide curve, but the free length of the self-contained, i.e. a loop-forming, endlessly circulating and tensioned band-shaped element. From this band-shaped element, which rotates synchronously with the transport star, the vessels picked up by the transport star are pressed into the recesses of this transport star and held there, i.e. that band-shaped element acts as a tensioning belt with which the vessels are clamped in the recesses of the transport star, the tensioning force required for this being achieved by the tensioning device, preferably in cooperation with a certain intrinsic elasticity of the band-shaped element.
  • the band-shaped element serving as a securing element lies radially to the axis of rotation of the transport star opposite a circular-cylindrical circumferential surface of this star and is under the influence of the tensioning device, the band-shaped element can be in the absence of vessels, i.e. If there are gaps in the flow of the vessel, place it against the circumferential surface of the transport star so that there are no malfunctions in this case either.
  • This design has the advantage that the circular or cylindrical peripheral surface is not interrupted by the recesses of the transport star and is also between two sections of the transport star, where it has a larger diameter, so that even if gaps suddenly appear in the vessel flow and despite the occurring or possible short-term relaxation of the band-shaped element with its length runs perfectly onto the peripheral surface of the transport star.
  • the circular-cylindrical peripheral surface is designed such that the radius determining this peripheral surface is equal to or greater than the radius determining the ice rink-shaped course of the conveying path of the transport star.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that only a relatively small clamping path is required for the tensioning device provided for tensioning the band-shaped element, in order to bze the band-shaped element both in the case of vessels present in the transport star and in the case of vessels missing in the transport star. to keep it taut when there are vascular gaps.
  • This advantage has an effect in particular if a common band-shaped element with a single tensioning device is provided for several transport stars.
  • the band-shaped element is freely circulating over the rollers, ie a separate drive for the band-shaped element is not provided, but is moved by the transport star by its abutment against the vessels or against the peripheral surface of the transport star. This always results in a synchronous movement of the band-shaped element with the transport star. In particular, a relative movement between the band-shaped element and the vessels is avoided, so that these are clamped in the Transport star can be transported without vibration and due to the lack of a relative movement between the vessels and the band-shaped element without their own movement, ie without a rotational movement about their vertical axis. The clamping of the vessels also results in a quiet or low-noise run for the front table. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to drive the band-shaped element from the machine.
  • the design is such that a roller, preferably serving as a deflecting roller, is provided in the area of the transport star inlet and in the area of the transport star outlet in such a way that the axes of rotation of these rollers are at a radial distance from the axis of rotation of the transport star such that at the transport star inlet and at the transport star outlet, the respective partial length of the band-shaped element lying against the roller there and facing the transport star has a radial distance from the axis of rotation of the transport star, which ensures that the vessels, in particular also the vessels with the largest diameter to be processed, are free of faults on Transport star inlet can be inserted into the recesses or removed from the recesses at the transport star outlet. It is then not necessary to adjust these roles provided at the transport star inlet and at the transport star outlet to different vessel sizes.
  • the front table has an inlet area 1 on a bottle treatment machine, which otherwise has a filling station and a closing station and is not shown in detail, at which the bottles 2 are conveyed by a conveyor, e.g. via a conveyor belt 3 in the direction of arrow A, i.e. 1, the front table and thus the bottle treatment machine are fed from the left, and an outlet area 4, at which the closed bottles 2 after the treatment (e.g. filling) from the front table to a transporter, e.g. be transferred to a conveyor belt for removing the bottles 2 in the direction of arrow B.
  • a transporter e.g. be transferred to a conveyor belt for removing the bottles 2 in the direction of arrow B.
  • the upright, unsealed bottles 2 are transferred at the bottle outlet 10 to the filling station 8 or the rotors to the further transport star 11 provided there, which has the function of a transfer star and is rotatably supported about the likewise vertical axis 12 and about this axis in the direction of Arrow E, ie in the illustrated embodiment is driven to rotate counterclockwise.
  • the transport star 11 With the transport star 11, the upright bottles 2 are carried on a pitch circle concentric to the axis 12 over an angular range greater than 180 ° and, in the embodiment shown, one after the other at the inlet 13 of a closing station 14 adjoining the transport star 11 or at its closure members having the rotor passed on.
  • the hub-like element 23 has a smaller diameter than the elements 20 and 21, so that they protrude with an annular region with a circular peripheral surface 22 radially beyond the peripheral surface 22 considers.
  • additional guides 24 are provided at the inlet 13 in the transport direction following the length 27 ⁇ and at the outlet 17 in the transport direction before the length 28 ⁇ .
  • Each tensioning device 30 also has a spring element 39 which is articulated at one end to the lever 33 between its two ends and at the other end to the associated support plate 38.
  • each spring element 39 is formed by a pneumatic cylinder, which, in addition to the spring action, also gives the possibility of presetting depending on the size or diameter of the bottles processed in each case 2 results.
  • the further embodiment shown in FIG. 6 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 1 essentially only in that in this further embodiment tion form instead of the separate V-belts 26 and 27 for the transport stars 7 and 11, a common closed loop, that is, a common, self-contained V-belt 40 is provided, which with its lengths 40 ⁇ and 40 ⁇ the conveying area of the transport star 7 and the conveying area of the transport star 11th encloses, ie the lengths 40 ⁇ and 40 ⁇ have the same function as the lengths 26 ⁇ and 27 ⁇ .
  • a common V-belt 40 for the transport stars 7 and 11 only a single tensioning device 30 with a larger tensioning path adapted to this function is required for both transport stars.
  • FIGS. 8 to 12 A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 8 to 12, only the two transport stars 7 and 11 and the associated elements being shown in FIG. 8 for the sake of simplicity.
  • This embodiment corresponds to the embodiment according to FIG. 6 to the extent that the self-contained and endlessly circulating band-shaped element formed by a V-belt 42 is provided jointly for both transport stars 7 and 11.
  • the V-belt 42 encloses with its length 42 ⁇ the conveying area of the transport star 7 and with its length 42 ⁇ the conveying area of the transport star 11.
  • a roller 43 corresponding to the roller 29 is again provided, via which the V-belt 42 is guided so that it has a length 42 Rolle between the roller 43 at the inlet of the transport star 7 and the roller 43 at the outlet of the transport star 11 and between the roller 43 at the outlet of the transport star 7 and the roller 43 at the inlet of the transport star 11 a length 42 ⁇ forms.
  • rollers 43 are not held firmly on the machine frame of the front table, but rather are provided on a plate 44 in such an adjustable manner that the distance between the axis of each roller 43 and the axis 6 or 12 of the associated transport star 7 or 11 can be changed so that this distance and thus also the distance of the V-belt 42 at the inlet and outlet of the transport stars 7 and 11 can be adapted to the respective diameter of the processed bottles 2, ie with the one shown in FIGS. 8 to 12 Version (if necessary, when transport stars 7 and 11 are exchanged), bottles 2 with very different diameters can also be processed.
  • Two intermediate levers 48 each, namely the intermediate lever 48 in the area of the outlet of the transport star 7 and the intermediate lever 48 in the area of the inlet of the transport star 11 or the intermediate lever 48 in the area of the inlet of the transport star 7 and the intermediate lever 48 in the area of the outlet of the transport star 11 are articulated at their other end with the aid of a hinge pin 49 to a common nut thread piece 50, the axes of the hinge pins 47 and 49 being parallel to the pivot axis of the pivot lever 45 or in the vertical direction.
