Definitions
- the invention relates to a gripper for containers and a container handling and / or transport machine.
- Grippers for containers are used in container handling machines, such as bottle handling machines, to grip the containers. In the gripped position the containers can be worked. This may include applying or removing labels, coating, shipping, filling, sealing, and the like.
- such grippers are provided to hold bottles at their neck area at a designated collar.
- EP 0 486 439 B1 discloses a gripper with two pivoting levers which are coupled for pivoting.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a gripper that is suitable for different container sizes and as simple as possible in its construction and has as little play. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a container treatment machine with corresponding grippers. The object is achieved with a gripper according to claim 1 and a Be fiscaler angers- and / or -transportmaschine according to claim 15. Advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims.
- the gripper has three pivot levers, which are designed so that it is possible with the three pivot levers to hold a container.
- This refers in particular to containers with a round cross-section at the holding position.
- a pivot lever is provided with an actuating arm with which the gripper is actuated, d. H. can be opened and closed.
- the second and third pivot levers are respectively coupled to the first pivot lever. Characterized in that the second and third pivot levers are respectively coupled directly to the first pivot lever having the actuating arm, the game is small overall.
- a biasing element for the first pivot lever which preferably acts on the actuating arm of the first pivot lever and further preferably biases in the position in which the gripper is closed.
- an arrangement is advantageous in which the position at which the third pivot lever can engage the container, between the container and the pivot axes, such as the pivot axis of the first pivot lever is because thus dislocation of the container in the direction of the pivot axes is prevented. Such dislocation can occur in particular when loading and unloading the containers in the gripper.
- first and second and possibly also the third pivot lever have a contoured attack surface, with which they can attack a container, so that each pivot lever engages the container at at least two positions.
- first and second and possibly also the third pivot lever have a contoured attack surface, with which they can attack a container, so that each pivot lever engages the container at at least two positions.
- the attack at two different positions for different sized containers is possible, so they are always different sized containers with different diameters always centered in the same place.
- the containers can have diameters between 24 mm and 38 mm.
- the actuating arm is coupled to a rod via a slot.
- the rod is preferably coupled to an eccentric, so that by rotation of the Excenters a forward and backward movement of the rod for operating the gripper is possible.
- a gripper for containers which has pivoting levers which can engage the container.
- One of the pivot levers has a Betsch Trentsann which is biased by a spring, so that the pivot levers are biased into a closed position.
- An eccentric is coupled via a rod with the actuating arm in such a way that the open position lies beyond a dead center of the spring force, starting from the closed position.
- the spring thus acts to hold the gripper in the open position.
- the open position and the closed position can then be switched by acting on the eccentric back and forth, in each case over the dead center of the spring force actuation takes place.
- This coupling between the different components is designed so that different container sizes are possible. This can be achieved for example by a slot on the actuating arm of the rod or the Excenters.
- a further advantage is a stop for the eccentric for both the open and the closed position, so that the eccentric is pressed in the open or a closed position by the spring force against the stop.
- the eccentric itself may be shaped so that it abuts against the stop or a component connected to it.
- the gripper preferably has three pivot levers, the so to a container with a round Cross section attack that is held by the attacking at the three positions of the container.
- Figure 2 is a schematic plan view of the gripper in the closed position for a small container
- Figure 3 is a schematic plan view of the gripper in a closed position for a large container.
- Figure 4 is a schematic plan view of the gripper in an open position.
- Figure 1 shows a gripper 1 with a base plate G and a first and second pivot lever 2, 3.
- the pivot levers comprise a container position on opposite sides. Between the first and second pivot levers 2, 3, a container for holding can be arranged.
- the first and second pivoting levers 2, 3 are coupled to each other via gearwheel segment 8a, 8b (see FIG. 2) for pivoting. Due to the direct coupling of the two pivot levers 2, 3 with each other, they have only a very little or no play.
- a third pivot lever 4 is also connected to the first pivot lever 2 via gear segments 7a, 7b (see FIG. 2). coupled. Again, the direct coupling causes the least possible game.
- the third pivot lever 4 is arranged so as to intersect with the first pivot lever 2. As a result, the coupling between the first and third pivot levers 2, 4 by the gear segments on one side of the first pivot lever 2, the attack position of the third pivot lever 4 on the container, however, on the other side of the first pivot lever. 2
- the container With the first, second and third pivot lever 2, 3, 4, the container can be touched in at least three places, these three locations are such that the container is held and centered in the center Z.
- the pivoting levers 2, 3, 4 can be pivoted on the one hand in order to open or close the gripper, but also to be able to grip containers of different sizes.
- the pivoting levers 2, 3, 4 are therefore designed so that they can be pivoted outward synchronously from the center Z (see FIGS. 2, 3, 4) of the container position, but can also be pivoted in synchronism with the center Z of the container position.
- the pivot axes of the three pivoting levers 2, 3, 4 are formed here by bolts 10a, 10b, 10c, which are screwed into the base plate G on a straight connecting line.
- the first pivot lever 2 has an actuating arm 5.
- the actuating arm 5 extends away from the first pivot lever 2 starting from the axial position of the pivot axis 10a.
- the actuating arm 5 thus lies with respect to the connecting line of the three pivot axes 10a, 10b, 10c on the opposite side of the container position.
- the three pivoting levers 2, 3, 4 are pivoted synchronously to open or close.
- this has a fork-shaped Opening into which a rod 11 engages.
- the rod 11 has a slot 12 in which a pin 18 of the actuating arm 5 engages, so that the rod 11 relative to the actuating arm 5 in the context of the elongated hole 12 is movable.
- a spring 9 is articulated, whose other end is attached to a bolt 19 which is adjustably mounted in position in the base plate G. By adjusting the position of the bolt, the spring force can be varied.
- the spring 9 pulls on the actuating arm 5 so that it biases the pivot lever 2, 3, 4 in the direction of the center Z of the container position.
- the rod 11 is rotatably coupled by a hinge 16 with an eccentric 13.
- the rod 11 can be moved back and forth and with sufficiently large movement, which is no longer compensated by the slot 12, the actuating arm 5 is actuated to open and close the gripper.
- the gripper By turning the Excenters 13 thus the gripper can be opened and closed.
- the pivot levers 2, 3, 4 are pressed by the spring 9 against the container to hold it. Because of the elongated hole 12, namely, the spring force is not absorbed by the rod 11.
- the slot 12 it is also possible to hold different sized containers in which the actuating arm 5 can assume different positions relative to the rod 11.
- the eccentric 13 is rotatably coupled via its axis 17 with a stop member 15.
- the stop member 15 is provided with two wings which can abut against a stopper bolt 14 fixed in the base plate G. To rotate the Excenters can attack by other machine parts or by hand to the stop member 15 a force so as to operate the gripper.
- FIGS. 2 to 4 show different states of the gripper.
- the gripper 1 is shown in a closed position in which a small container 6 is held.
- the actuating arm 5 is in this case relative to the slot 12 close to the left end of the slot 12.
- the stop member 15 is provided with a first wing in abutment against the stop pin 14.
- the eccentric 13 is here designed as a hoof-shaped element, the rotationally fixed to the stop member 15th connected and stored together with this by a shaft 17 in the base plate.
- the spring 9 pulls the actuating arm 5 to the left, whereby the rod 11 is also pushed to the left, which would follow in a rotational movement of the eccentric 13 in the counterclockwise direction, but is prevented by the stop 14.
- the spring 9 pulls in this position thus the eccentric 13 with the stop member 15 against the stop pin 14, whereby the gripper is held in the open position.
- the gripper can be brought back into a closed position. Runs the gripper 1 on a circular path, so this can be done in a simple manner by stationary control pins that engage the stop member 15.
- a mechanical spring and a pneumatic biasing element can be used.
- Such grippers can be used in container handling machines such as fillers, labellers, label removers, coaters, sterilizers, etc. or in container transport machines such as conveyors or transfer stars.
