Definitions

the present invention relates to container treatment machines according to claim 1.
Advantageous developments are specified in the subclaims.
container treatment machines are regularly used in the beverage industry. These are, for example, rinsers, fillers, sealers and labellers.
These container treatment machines may be linear machines, but also so-called rotary machines. Since both types of machines are well known, a more detailed description can be omitted here. In the following, only rotary machines are shown in the figures, without thereby limiting the scope of the present invention to these.
the supply and removal of the containers to be treated, such as e.g. Bottles, cans or even beverage cartons for these container treatment machines is usually carried out on one-lane transporters, the transfer between the conveyor and processing machine, or between the processing machine and conveyor on the basis of known inlet or outlet stars.
Vortich represent all their inherent advantages, due to their complex design and manufacturing a significant cost factor, and present in originally known constructions numerous individual surfaces, edges, corners and undercuts provide starting points for unwanted contamination, it has already in the past time and again proposals for simplification and improvement of Vortisch given in terms of their production, cost and hygiene or cleaning.
Vortisch in which the Vortisch consists essentially of a flat, relatively thick metal plate, which is arranged in space at a certain angle to the horizontal. It is also envisaged to arrange at the higher edge of the metal plate spraying devices and at the lower edge collecting gutters.
This device For cleaning or disinfection of this device is provided to spray cleaning liquid through the spray devices on the metal plate.
the inclined arrangement of the metal plate results in a directional flow of the cleaning agent, through which to be flushed to the metal plate of adhering contaminants in the gutter.
a disadvantage of such a device is, inter alia, that the metal plates used require a high cost of materials and mechanical processing is complicated and expensive due to the numerous, at certain angles introduced into these plates holes.
Vortisch has a substantially rectangular base body, said base body is provided with a roof-shaped, consisting of sheet metal construction.
This walmdachförmige structure in turn is broken in the vertical of the brackets or receptacles for input or output stars, capper, etc.
Vortishes exist according to the DE 298 05 957 first of a base body, which is composed of frustoconical elements, said elements being connected by straight connecting pieces whose top has a saddle-roof-shaped shape.
such vortices consist of conical or columnar elements extending vertically upwards from the main body and having at their upper end devices such as e.g. Pick up transport stars, capper, inlet screw, etc.
Container treatment machines of the structure described above are characterized by the DE 198 14 625 A known. Here support plates are realized, covering the drive means and coupling individual treatment machines together, which are assembled in block construction.
a container treatment machine As part of the FR 510 526 A a container treatment machine is described, which has a Vortisch, which is also equipped with fasteners. These are relatively bulky.
the US 5,261,207 deals again with a container treatment machine in which a plate-like Vortisch is realized, emanating from the two arms connecting the vertical axes of Stemziern together.
Object and purpose of the present invention is the disadvantages of known Vortician for container treatment machines such as high material costs and associated high production costs and large surfaces with unfavorable design, which tend to contamination, to avoid.
the invention provides to replace the known Vortician by a simple strut construction with optimized or reduced surfaces.
the container treatment machines according to the invention have a pre-table which consists of rod-shaped connecting elements 13 which on the one hand connect the individual container treatment machines, here rinser 18, filler 19 and closer 20, and on the other hand the associated transport stars 15, ie inlet, outlet and Transfersteme, record, or provide for this mounting options.
the container treatment machines used are joined together by the arranged connecting elements 13 in the form of a triangle, which is in terms of achievable stability of particular advantage.
the connecting elements 13 are advantageously fastened between or on the foundation rings 21 of the container treatment machines.
the receptacles 14 for the transport stars 15 or the transport stars 15 themselves are fastened to these connecting elements 13 in a suitable manner.
the connecting elements 13 may be, for example, pipes in a round, 3, 4 or rectangular configuration, or else profiles of any cross-sectional shape produced as desired by edging, die-casting, continuous casting, rolling, etc.
connecting elements 13 which have no substantially straight shape, but are bent or angled, for example.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show way to connect. It is also envisaged to connect individual container treatment machines, such as a filling machine 19, in the manner according to the invention with the necessary transporting stars 15 ( Fig. 3 ).
connecting elements 13 It is initially provided to fasten the connecting elements 13 to the foundation ring 21 of the container treatment machine in such a way that they extend outwardly substantially radially from the center of the container treatment machine.
the receptacles 14 for the transport stars 15 are arranged on or on these connecting elements 13, the receptacles 14 for the transport stars 15 are arranged
the scope of the present invention also extends to embodiments in which the connecting elements 13 are not fastened to the foundation ring 21 in the manner described above.
the connecting elements 13 may for example be attached tangentially or at any angle to the foundation ring 21.
connecting elements 13 are also provided in the context of the present invention, not only to arrange the connecting elements 13 in a height level, but to arrange them in several levels, as well as extending over several height levels extending. It is also provided for a further embodiment, to connect the arranged on different height levels connecting elements 13 by vertical struts 17, resulting in further advantages in terms of stability.
connecting elements 13 It is intended to form the shape of the cross-sectional area of the connecting elements 13 in such a way that that it has no outer surfaces on or on which liquids or contaminants accumulate and / or can deposit. This is essentially achieved in that the upper outer surfaces of the connecting elements 13 are not formed in a horizontal, but in oblique or inclined orientation and / or as a circular or curved convex surfaces.
the present invention provides that elements for adjusting and / or aligning the connecting elements 13 or the container treatment machines are provided at least on one side at the ends of the connecting elements 13.
Certain types of container handling machines require so-called inlet or in-line screws which serve to bring bumped containers to the predetermined machine pitch.
certain types of container handling machines require guide members to guide the containers safely and smoothly through the container handling machines, e.g. to act inside or outside guides.
the transport of the containers to and from certain container treatment machines takes place by means of conveyor belts.
these elements ie inlet screws, guide elements and conveyor belts, are fastened directly or indirectly to the connecting elements 13.
these elements ie inlet screws, guide elements and conveyor belts
these elements are fastened directly or indirectly to the connecting elements 13.
cladding or enclosure for noise, accident or shock protection as they are often provided on container treatment machines, directly or indirectly to the connecting elements 13 to arrange or secure. This procedure provides further advantages for cleaning and cost reduction.
the embodiments proposed in the context of the present application provide significant advantages. For example, the cleaning or Disinfection due to the reduced surface area and the improved design selbiger much simpler and cheaper.
the connecting elements 13 according to the invention By using the connecting elements 13 according to the invention, the production costs and the time required for the assembly of the container treatment machines are considerably reduced.
