Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for closing containers according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are known from the prior art for a long time, see for example EP 1 905 728 .
  • a closure such as a screw cap or a bottle cap.
  • a device according to the invention for closing containers has a closure device which attaches closures to the containers, this closure device having a movable closure head for attaching the closures to the containers and being arranged inside a sterile space of the device and in a longitudinal direction of the containers to be closed is movable, wherein at least one wall is provided which limits the sterile room.
  • the closure device is arranged on a carrier, which is arranged partly within the sterile room and partly outside the sterile room and moves in relation to the sterile room or to at least one wall of this sterile room in the longitudinal direction, wherein inside the sterile room a first elastic in the longitudinal direction Sealing element is arranged, which seals a region of the outer circumference of the carrier relative to the sterile room.
  • a guide device is arranged in the interior of the sterile room, which guides the closure head in the longitudinal direction L of the containers.
  • this guide device is preferably arranged completely in the interior of the sterile room.
  • the carrier extends through a wall bounding the sterile room.
  • this sealing element is so elastic that it is in a fully extended state in the longitudinal direction at least twice as long as in a fully compressed state, preferably at least three times as long and preferably at least four times as long. In this way, significant strokes can be sealed.
  • a wall is understood to mean an element made of a solid material which is suitable for delimiting two gas volumes from one another.
  • a closure device is understood to mean any device by means of which closures can be applied to or on containers, in particular screw closures.
  • a sterile room is understood to mean a room in the interior of which there are sterile conditions in relation to the outside environment. For example, this sterile room can be filled with sterile air.
  • the carrier is a component to which the closure device is preferably fixed and which, upon movement, causes a movement of this closure device. This carrier preferably performs a lifting movement, which follows the closure device.
  • a portion of the carrier which may for example be designed as a rod-shaped body, projects into the clean room and also out this out. More specifically, this rod-shaped body extends through the said wall.
  • a guide bush is provided which extends through the wall, and which guides any movement of the carrier relative to the wall.
  • a sealing element which extends in the longitudinal direction is thus understood to mean an elastic sealing element which seals the outer circumference of the carrier relative to the sterile space substantially independently of the position of the carrier relative to the wall.
  • a volume depending on a position of the carrier in the longitudinal direction is formed between the sealing element and the region of the outer circumference of the carrier and this volume is in fluid communication with a geometric space arranged outside the sterile room.
  • this volume is larger or smaller. If, for example, the largest possible volume of the carrier is arranged within the sterile room, the said volume is preferably also maximum.
  • a space arranged outside the sterile room is understood to mean a space which is at least partially disposed outside the sterile room. This room can also be completed inside. Thus, it is possible to arrange another bellows outside the sterile room and to supply its volume again by the volume of the first bellows. In this way, it is possible that the sealing element "breathes" during the movement of the wearer.
  • the volume disposed outside the sterile room is in permanent flow communication with the volume formed between the carrier and the first sealing element.
  • an outlet for the volume between the bellows and the support is located outside and preferably below the sterile room or a boundary between the sterile room and the non-sterile room.
  • the said area of the outer periphery of the carrier or a part thereof in a working operation of the device temporarily within the sterile room and temporarily outside the sterile room.
  • sterile space is to be understood as meaning preferably a geometric plane of extent of the said wall.
  • the sealing element is a bellows extending around the outer circumference.
  • This bellows can be arranged on the wall or on a fixedly arranged in this wall socket with its lower end. With its upper end, the bellows may be firmly and preferably also airtight connected to the carrier or a region of the carrier, which is permanently located in the sterile room.
  • the closure device has a rotatable closure head for Screwing closures onto the containers.
  • the device particularly relates to cappers which apply screw caps to containers.
  • this closure head is preferably always arranged in the interior of the sterile room.
  • a drive device for driving the closure head is arranged outside the sterile room. This is favorable insofar as such drive devices, such as electric motors, always represent a source of danger for sterile rooms.
  • the device particularly preferably has an output gear driven by the drive device, which drives a drive wheel rotatably connected to the closure head, with teeth of at least the drive wheel and / or the output gear extending in the longitudinal direction of the container.
  • the length of these teeth of one of these wheels in the longitudinal direction is at least twice as large, preferably at least three times as large as the length of the teeth of the other (tooth) rads.
  • Both the output gear and the drive wheel are preferably arranged in the interior of the sterile room.
  • the output gear and the drive wheel can also be wheels with a smooth surface, such as hard rubber wheels.
  • one of the wheels has a long toothing, which extends along the predetermined portion of the lifting movement. It is possible, the other wheel regardless of the stroke position of the closure head in To keep engagement with this wheel and thus let driven by this.
  • the device has a transport device, which transports the containers within the sterile room.
  • This device may, for example, be a transport device which guides the containers at their necks through the sterile room.
  • these can be transport stars.
  • the device has a second elastic in the longitudinal direction of the sealing element, which is at least temporarily and preferably permanently disposed outside the sterile room.
  • this second elastic sealing element is a bellows.
  • This bellows may for example be arranged on the lower part of the wall or on the above-mentioned guide sleeve and on the other hand also on the carrier.
  • the two bellows or the interiors of these bellows are in fluid communication with each other during a movement of the carrier. In this way, the two bellows can "breathe" each other.
  • a volume formed between the first sealing element and the carrier in a first position of the carrier is substantially equal to the volume formed between the second sealing element and the carrier in a second position of the carrier.
  • These are preferably the respective end positions of the carrier with respect to the wall, so that a movement of the carrier relative to the wall can be carried out without pressure increases. It would be possible, for example, that the carriers have a central bore, which causes the flow connection between the two bellows.
  • the movement of the carrier is controlled by a guide curve, which is arranged outside the sterile room.
  • the sterile room is arranged between the guide curve and the drive device. It is possible, for example, that the rotational movement of a closure head is driven from above and the lifting movement of the carrier is controlled from below.
  • a gas pressure in the interior of the sterile room is always higher than outside the sterile room, so that no non-sterile gases can enter the interior of the sterile room.
  • the present invention is further directed to a device for closing containers of the type described above, which has a drive device for driving the closure head, which drive means is arranged outside the sterile room.
  • the device has a rotatable output shaft driven by the drive device for driving the closure head, wherein this output shaft extends through a boundary wall of the sterile room. Furthermore, a housing is provided, which surrounds these output shaft in sections in its circumferential direction, wherein further a channel is provided to suck out of the housing in particular a gaseous medium.
