Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for applying a liquid to bottles according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2 respectively.
  • Reusable bottles made of glass, plastic, etc. often become unsightly after several cycles due to the heavy use in the bottling plants and during transport to and from the consumer.
  • chafing spots as well as other chips and scratches are preferably formed in the upper and lower edge region of the cylindrical bottle body.
  • a thin film of liquid plastic for example a siloxane, is applied to the reusable bottles, which largely covers the scratches and chafe marks and gives the bottles a new appearance (DE-OS 29 41 105).
  • the object of the invention is to solve this problem and to improve a method and a device for applying liquids of the type mentioned at the outset so that a wide variety of types of liquids with low liquid consumption could be applied evenly.
  • claim 19 describes an advantageous arrangement of the device according to the invention, the device being part of the outlet star of a labeling machine there.
  • the device according to the invention can be used equally at various points, independently of upstream or downstream fillers or labeling machines, in order to apply liquid to bottles.
  • the invention is described below in a special application, where this device is part of a labeling machine and is integrated in the outlet star of the labeling machine.
  • This labeling machine is set up for labeling and subsequent coating of upright bottles 1, namely reusable glass bottles with a liquid, namely with a liquid plastic for covering chafing spots.
  • This coating device is implemented in the star conveyor 7, which is referred to below as the discharge star.
  • the labeling machine has a box-like housing 21 in which a drive motor, not shown, is accommodated.
  • a turntable 2 with an upstream inlet star 6 and the star conveyor 7 designed as an outlet star and the outlet star 10 are rotatably supported about vertical axes.
  • the inlet star 6 is preceded by an inlet screw 22 which can be rotated about a horizontal axis and which brings the bottles 1, which are transported to the labeling machine on a horizontal conveyor belt 12, at a distance and transfers them to the inlet star 6 in accordance with the division.
  • the bottles 1 are held by a stationary inlet bend 23 and then open onto the turntable 2, where they are fixed by means of lifting and lowering centering bells, not shown, on controllable turntables, also not shown.
  • the bottles 1 are then transferred from the rotary table 2 to the first outlet star 7, on the circumference of which a stationary outlet arch 24 is arranged.
  • the second outlet star 10 takes over the bottles 1 from the first outlet star 7 and places them on a horizontal conveyor belt 11, through which the bottles are transported away from the labeling machine.
  • the discharge conveyor belt 11 and on the circumference of the second outlet star 10 the bottles are guided through correspondingly arranged fixed railings 26.
  • the bottles stand on stationary slide plates 29.
  • the conveyor elements 2, 6, 7, 10 and 22 and the conveyor belts 11 and 12 are driven synchronously with one another and continuously in the direction of the arrow by the drive motor of the labeling machine, so that the bottles 1 can be transported precisely and gently even at high outputs.
  • the housing 21 there are also two conventional labeling stations 3 and 4 which, with their rotating gripper cylinders 27, affect the orbit of the bottles 1 on the turntable 2 and are driven synchronously with the turntable 2 by the drive motor of the labeling machine.
  • the bottles 1 are provided with a body and a chest label, which are firmly nestled to the bottles in a subsequent brushing station 28 with brushes and sponge rollers, not shown.
  • the bottles 1 are equipped with a back label which is pressed onto the bottles in a further subsequent brushing station 28 with brushes and sponge rollers (not shown). Then the fully labeled bottles 1 run into the first outlet star 7.
  • the first outlet star 7 has an upper star plate 7 a and a lower star plate 7 b.
  • the two star plates 7 a and 7 b are fixed parallel to each other at a distance on a common hub 7 c.
  • freely rotatable rollers 14 with axes parallel to the axis of rotation of the outlet star 7 are each mounted in the front and rear region of each pocket 9. The rollers 14 engage on the lowermost or uppermost area of the cylindrical bottle body and thus on the one hand enable an exact, division-appropriate transport and on the other hand an effortless rotation of the bottles 1 in the first outlet star 7.
  • the first outlet star 7 is assigned the device 8 for applying the liquid to the finished labeled bottles 1 which are moved in its pockets 9 on a circular arc path.
  • This device 8 has a fixed friction and application element 13 which is arranged concentrically with the outlet star 7 and has an arcuate, more precisely partially cylindrical, friction and application surface.
  • the friction and application element 13 consists of a closed-pore neoprene foam which is placed on a partially cylindrical support plate 30 is glued on. The support plate 30 is in turn attached in a vertical position to the stationary outlet arch 24.
  • the arrangement is such that the bottles 1 located in the pockets 9 of the first discharge star 7 easily press into the neoprene foam of the friction and application element 13 and therefore come into frictional contact therewith. When the spout 7 rotates, the bottles 1 are therefore continuously rotated by means of the friction and application element 13.
  • the bottles 1 are moved in the first outlet star over an angular range of approximately 270 degrees, the outlet star 7 having the same diameter as the inlet star 6.
  • This relatively large angular range which is the case with the usual bottle and star diameters the bottles 1 rotate at least four times is possible due to the opposite deflection in the subsequent second outlet star 10 and the arrangement of the discharge belt 11 laterally offset with respect to the feed belt 12.
  • FIG. 3 Another possibility is indicated in Fig. 3.
  • the diameter of the outlet star 7 is larger than that of the inlet star 6.
  • the discharge conveyor 11 runs in its initial region tangentially to the outlet star 7 and thus at an acute angle to the feed conveyor 12.
  • a relatively long friction and application surface can also be realized in this way, which is completely sufficient for applying the usual liquids to bottles.
  • the device 8 on the first outlet star 7 has, in addition to the friction and application element 13, a further essential component the friction and application surface from outside metered with liquid wetting supply line 15.
  • Their active elements are spray nozzles 16, which are fixed radially outward in height between the star plates 7 a and 7 b and circumferentially between two adjacent pockets 9 on the first outlet star 7. The spray nozzles 16 thus rotate together with the first outlet star 7.
  • a spray nozzle 16 is provided after every second pocket 9, which is suitable for many applications. With higher consumption of liquid or a thicker coating, one or more spray nozzles 16 can also be provided after each pocket 9. On the other hand, with a low consumption or a smaller layer thickness, for example, a spray nozzle 16 can also be provided only after every third or fourth pocket 9.
  • each spray nozzle 16 is oriented in such a way that it directs a fan-widening jet past two adjacent bottles 1 onto the fixed friction and application element 13.
  • the jet runs radially outward with respect to the axis of rotation of the first outlet star 7, specifically in a vertical plane passing through the axis of rotation.
  • the bottles 1 themselves are therefore not reached by the spray jet.
  • the second outlet star 7 rotates, the friction and application surface of each individual spray nozzle 16 is sprayed with liquid essentially over the entire height and over a certain length, ie in the form of a surface.
  • the spray jet expediently ends at a short distance from the upper and lower edge of the friction and application surface, so that the spray jet is reliably prevented from going beyond the friction and application element 13.
  • Each spray nozzle 16 is connected via a short piece of pipe or hose with its own switching valve 19 which is attached to the upper star plate 7 a in such a way that its spring-loaded switching pin projects upwards.
  • Each switching valve 19 is connected by a further short piece of pipe or hose to a common rotary distributor 17 which is concentric with the first outlet star 7.
  • the rotatable part of the rotary distributor 17 is attached to the upper star plate 7 a.
  • the fixed part of the rotary distributor 17 is secured against rotation via a horizontal arm 25, which is supported with its free end on a vertical column 5.
  • a longer piece of pipe or hose runs over this arm 25 from the rotary distributor 17 to the closed reservoir 18 for the liquid. From this, the liquid becomes high by introducing compressed air with adjustable pressure to the spray nozzles 16 and pressed through them.
  • a fixed control cam 20 for the switching valves 19 is also attached to the arm 25. This is designed as an arcuate stroke curve and projects into the orbit of the switching pins in such a way that they are pressed down in the region of the control curve 20 and thereby release the liquid supply to the spray nozzles 16.
  • the control cam 20 begins shortly after the start of the friction and application element 13 and ends approximately after two thirds of its length. Outside the control curve 20, the switching valves 19 are automatically closed under the influence of their spring elements; the liquid supply to the spray nozzles 16 is prevented.
  • the friction and application element 13 is made in two parts and only covers the upper and lower edge area of the cylindrical bottle body. Each part of the friction and application element 13 is supplied by its own spray nozzle 16.
  • the supply of the liquid to the spray nozzles 16 is to be initiated by manually or automatically opening a control valve 31 regulating the compressed air supply to the storage container 18.
  • the spray nozzles 16 standing in the area of the control curve 20 are supplied with liquid under pressure and begin to spray the relevant areas of the friction and application element 13 with liquid. If the labeling machine is still at this point, only parts of the friction and application area are applied. Since, as a result of the closed-pore design, the friction and application element 13 does not store any liquid, it runs downward and is collected in a channel 32 which covers the entire lower edge of the friction and application element 13.
  • the control valve 31 is therefore expediently only opened shortly before the first labeled bottles reach the outlet star 7. Automation of this process is extremely simple, since in any case any conventional labeling machine has at least one bottle sensor, through which the label dispensing is controlled. The channel 32 can then also be dispensed with.
  • the labeled bottles 1 arriving in the first outlet star 7 are rotatably received in the pockets 9 thereof by the rollers 14 and are continuously set in their own rotation by rolling on the stationary friction and application element 13.
  • the bottles 1 absorb from the rubbing and application surface the liquid previously applied by the spray nozzles 16 running between the bottles 1, distributed uniformly over the circumference.
  • the spray nozzles 16 are already closed, there is a renewed intensive rolling and possibly squeezing off excess liquid. Layer thicknesses of a few millimeters thick or from a few milligrams of liquid can be achieved without any problems.
  • the application and friction element 13 according to FIG. 2 additionally intensively rolls up the body and back labels which are wetted with the liquid plastic or the like. This leads to an extremely advantageous appearance of the finished bottles 1.
