Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for closing containers with a closure, in particular a bottle capping machine, with at least one closing head, which predominantly displaces axially for application of the closure in the direction of a container opening along a travel and for this purpose acts on the outside with a predetermined force becomes.
  • the capping head can be moved towards the container.
  • a reverse procedure is conceivable by the respective container is lifted to the capping.
  • a simultaneous movement of the container and the capping head is conceivable.
  • each closing position is assigned at least two closing tools held on a tool carrier.
  • the closing tools can be moved at least between a working position and an ⁇ staging position. In the working position, the closing tool causes the fixation of the closures on the respective container.
  • Comparable devices for closing containers or bottle sealing machines are known in practice. In all of these devices, the closure head is acted upon by a force from the outside when mounting or attaching the closure on or at the container opening. These For example, force is exerted by the tool carrier according to DE 10 2006 035 279 A1 on the closing tool or the closing head.
  • Closure that is at the end of the travel, still be high enough to close the container properly.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a device in such a way that the closure can be fitted correctly and any possible downtimes no longer occur in this connection.
  • a suitable method for closing such containers should be specified.
  • a generic device for closing containers with a closure in the context of the invention is characterized in that the closing head has an internal force-supporting element, which supports the externally applied force by an internal force generated by means of the force-supporting element.
  • the closure for closing the container (and thus also the container as a whole) is thus subjected to a composite force in this process.
  • IO learns or a force is exerted externally on the respective container and consequently the capping head. In most cases, one will choose the last-mentioned approach, because usually several containers conveyed on a circular path are simultaneously equipped with an associated closing head and undergo a closure in succession.
  • This internal or internal force is exerted by the internal force support element.
  • the force-supporting element is arranged in the interior of the capping head, so that the relevant internal force is generated and exerted directly on the interior of the capping head.
  • the described inner and outer forces usually work on at least one spring element in the interior of the capping head for its compression.
  • the spring element is supported on the one hand on the pot for the closure and on the other hand on the base. The pot is submerged
  • the internal force-supporting element is arranged parallel to the said spring element.
  • the spring element encloses the force support element, because it is advantageous in the spring element is a helical spring with helical screw turns.
  • the two magnets are usually arranged with different poles and opposite each other. Furthermore, the invention recommends a total rotationally symmetric
  • the capping head is rotated about this axis of rotation to the
  • the inner force and the outer force operate substantially rectified on the spring element, which is arranged in the interior of the capping head.
  • the spring element is clamped on the one hand between the pot for the closure and on the other hand between the base. As soon as a force is exerted on the capping head from the outside, this causes the spring to undergo compression and the pot more and more to dive into the guide cylinder of the base.
  • the overall design is such that the force support element or magnetic element of the two magnets corresponds to a certain distance of the magnets at the beginning of the travel, wherein the distance between these two magnets at the end of the travel to zero or
  • both the external force and the internal force act with a rectified force component on the spring element, which extends substantially in the longitudinal direction of the spring element or the coil spring. In general, the longitudinal direction of the falls

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de fermeture de récipients (3) au moyen d'un élément de fermeture (1). En particulier, l'invention concerne une machine de fermeture de bouteilles. Ladite machine est équipée d'au moins une tête de fermeture (4), qui est déplacée en direction d'une ouverture de récipient (2) le long d'une course de réglage (H) pour la mise en place de l'élément de fermeture (1). A cet effet, la tête de fermeture (4) est soumise à une force (FA) extérieure prédéfinie. Selon l'invention, la tête de fermeture (4) présente un élément interne de soutien de la force (6, 7), qui soutient la force (FA) appliquée depuis l'extérieur.
