Definitions

the invention relates to a closing tool explained in the preamble of claim 1 Art.
Such a closing tool is from the WO 2004/009484 known.
the known closure tool includes a gripping means of a plurality of gripping segments which are circularly grouped about a center line which in use coincides with the center line of the container and which can approach and depart to a limited extent from the center line. With this embodiment, minor tolerances that can occur regularly even with the most careful production of closures are compensated, so that the error rate is not screwed closures is reduced.
the gripping segments are slidably received for this purpose radially to the center line in a posture and are loaded in the direction of their closed position by springs.
One of the springs is placed as an O-ring over the outer circumference of the gripping segments and pushes the gripping segments toward the center line.
Another spring acts axially of the center line and presses the gripping segments against a provided on the underside of the closing tool retaining plate so that there is increased friction.
the opening movement of the gripping segments for receiving the closure must be applied when pressing the closing tool on the closure to accommodate this.
the closing tool is pressed onto the closure from above, wherein an inlet slope on the gripping segments ensures that the closure can radially press apart the gripping segments, against both the force of the annular spring and against the frictional force on the support plate until the closure in the interior of the tool abuts against a stop.
Both the O-ring spring and the friction on the support plate then ensure that the gripping segments do not drift further apart, so that the closure can be held.
the load capacity of an O-ring is limited, so that only small differences in the closure sizes can be covered.
the invention is therefore based on the object, a closure tool for a capping machine for applying a closure on a container universally form.
the tolerance range to be handled by the gripping device is greatly increased, both with regard to dimensions / tolerances as well as in terms of contour or in terms of mechanical strength.
the gripping device according to the invention is formed with mutually movable gripping members.
the gripping members may be pivotable about an axis to perform gripping and releasing movements.
the gripper path for the correct gripping of the closure is not limited to the actual dimensions of the closure, since the closure does not have to open the gripper.
the closing tool according to the invention works more gently, since there is no friction between the closure and the gripping device for gripping (picking) and the opening force of the gripping device does not have to be applied through the closure.
the magnets of the magnetic actuator can be adjusted by a gleichpoligen in a non-uniform opposition by relative displacement or by rotational movements.
One embodiment is to arrange the gripping members in a circle about a center line and to pivot about a pivot axis and to arrange one of the magnets of the magnet actuator on the gripping member, the second magnet of the gripper being fixed to a support movable along the center line Magnetic attraction and magnetic repulsion, the gripping device is opened or closed.
This embodiment also has the advantage that the closing tool can thus be equipped in a simple manner for aseptic operation, wherein only the holder is received in a closed sleeve (permeable to the magnetic field), so that a contamination of the aseptically held closing tool from the drive side (Screwing and lifting movements) is prevented.
a particularly simple construction results from the fact that the gripping members are arranged radially displaceably in a holder and the magnets of the magnet actuation are arranged distributed around the gripping segments on two concentric circles.
Fig. 1 shows in schematic representation and in longitudinal section a closing unit 1 of a closing machine for closing containers, not shown with a closure 2.
the closing unit 1 is shown in the illustrated embodiment in aseptic design and includes a partition wall 3 of the closing machine, a clean room area RR of a gray room GR separates.
the partition wall 3 separates the closing unit 1 into a drive part 4 and a closing tool 5.
the tool 5 a housing 6, in which a gripping device 7 is housed.
the gripping device 7 is preferably replaceable housed in the housing 6 and can be exchanged for the handling of different closures. Especially with aseptic design, these components are gap-free and sealed mounted.
the gripping device 7 includes in the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of gripping members 8 in the form of gripping segments, which are grouped around the center line 7 'of the gripping device 7.
the term "gripping member” is intended to cover all structures capable of gripping and holding the shutter 2.
Each gripping member 8 is pivotable about a substantially horizontal axis of rotation 9 in the form of a bolt or the like. In a gripping position for holding the shutter 2 and a release position for releasing the shutter.
the rotation axis 9 divides the gripping member 8 into a lower arm 8a provided with gripping members 10 such as latching projections or corrugations or the like with which the shutter 2 can be securely held, and an upper arm 8b to which a magnetic actuator 11 for pivoting the gripping members 8 about the axis of rotation 9 and thus for opening and closing the gripping device 7 acts.
the magnet actuation 11 preferably contains permanent magnets and is based on the known physical principle that poles of the same name repel from permanent magnets and attract different poles.
the solenoid actuation 11 is executed in the illustrated embodiment in linear combination, wherein a first magnet 12 and a second magnet 13 in the axial direction next to each other along the center line 7 'on the second arm 8b of the gripping member 8 are.
the two magnets are aligned so that they point with different poles in the direction of the center line 7 ', wherein in the illustrated embodiment, the upper magnet 12 with its north pole and the lower magnet 13 with its south pole in the direction of the center line 7'.
the solenoid actuator 11 further includes a third magnet 14, which, however, is responsible for all gripping members 8.
the third magnet 14 is preferably a ring magnet whose outer circumference has the north pole.
the third magnet 14 is fixed to a support 15 in the form of a support rod which is coaxial with the center line 7 ', and in the direction of actuation B of his in Fig. 2 shown opposite to the first magnet 12 in a opposite position to the second magnet 13 and can be moved back. If the third magnet 14 is located at the level of the first magnets 12 of all gripping members 8, the gripping members 8 are pivoted into the in Fig. 2 shown closed position, the gripped closure 2 can be held and screwed. When this is done, the third magnet 14 moves down the center line 7 'until it faces the second magnet 13 of all the gripping members 8. Now takes place the attraction, which pivot the gripping members 8 about the axis of rotation 9 in an open position in which the shutter 2 is released.
This type of solenoid actuation 11 is particularly suitable for the clean room or aseptic design Fig. 1 , here only the support rod 15 with the third magnet 14 in a closed, sleeve-like Auswerferstange 16 (permeable to magnetic fields) accommodated is.
This ejector rod 16 can be easily sealed by a sleeve 17, which is sealingly secured around a passage opening 18 through the partition wall 3, and at the bottom of the ejector 16, again in turn, the passage opening sealingly attached.
the drive movement with regard to the screw-on rotation can be transmitted to a rotary sleeve 20 via a gear coupling 19, for example.
the rotary sleeve 20 transmits the rotation via a magnetic actuator in the form of a magnetic coupling 21 on an inner sleeve 22 to which the tool 5 is attached (preferably releasably via a corresponding coupling 23).
the lifting movement for opening and closing the gripping members 8 also takes place via the magnetic coupling 21 on the tool 5, wherein the lifting movement is transmitted here only during the screwing movement.
the movement of the support rod 15 is separate from the lifting movement and independent of the drive system.
the drive movements can also by other means, such. B. be generated pneumatically, electrically or electromagnetically.
stops 25 for the insertion depth of the closure 2 into the tool can be arranged.
the 3 and 4 show a modified embodiment of a closing tool 105, which differs from the embodiment according to the Fig. 1 and 2 only differs by a different arrangement of the magnets of the magnetic actuator 111.
closing tool 105 which accommodated in the ejection bar 116 support rod 115 includes the in Fig. 4 shown magnet assembly 114, in which a plurality of magnets 114a to 114f are arranged circularly and with alternating polarity about the center line 7 ', so that alternately a south pole and a north pole to the outside, ie away from the center line 7'.
the gripping members 8 in the form of gripping segments are here only provided with the first magnet 12, which on all three segments with the same polarity inwards, i. pointing to the center line 7 ', are arranged. In the illustrated embodiment, this is the north pole.
the support rod 15 is not axially displaced longitudinally to the center line 7 ', but rotated about it, as indicated by the arrow D.
each other poles come in a position opposite the first magnet 12 at the gripping segments position, wherein, like Fig. 4 shows, initially a repulsion takes place to close the gripping device, and in the next step, an attraction takes place and thus the gripping segments opens.
This embodiment of the closing tool 105 is cleanroom or aseptiktauglich.
Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of a closing tool 305 according to the invention, which shows features of the two preceding embodiments, wherein identical or similar components are marked with reference numerals increased by 300 and not explained again.
the closure tool 305 includes a plurality of gripping segments 308 which are pivotable about a pivot axis 309.
the lower arm 308a formed thereby is provided with the gripping members 10 and the upper arm 308b carries a magnet 312.
the counter magnet (s) 314 are fixed to a rotating ring 337 of the holder 306 such that the interaction between attraction for opening and opening already described above Repulsion to close the gripping device 311 results.
the Fig. 6 and 7 show a further embodiment of a closing tool 205 according to the invention, which is characterized by a simple configuration.
the closure tool 205 includes a gripping means 207 having a plurality of gripping members 208 in the form of gripping segments which are arranged in a circle around the center line 7 '.
the gripping members 208 are, however, in the direction of the double arrow S on the center line 7 'to and away from her displaced, which can be effected by suitable guides, such as the indicated guide rod 226.
the tool 205 also has a solenoid actuator 211 with first magnets 212 and opposed (third) magnets 214 arranged on concentric circles about the centerline 7 '.

the magnets 214, 212 are fixed and installed in such a way that the same polarities are opposite to produce a repulsive force.
the magnetic force and the gap L is adjusted so that the gripping members 208 surround a gap around the center line 7 ', which is at least equal, but preferably smaller than the diameter of the male closure 2.
the gripping members 208 are what is particularly important here , provided on its underside with inlet slopes 37, so that the closure when placing the tool 205, the gripping members 208 against the repulsive force of the magnets 212, 214 apart and thereby the holding force when handling the closure 2 and the application of the closure 2 is applied.
the gripping members 208 Upon removal of the tool 205 from the sealed container, the gripping members 208 return to their original position by the repulsive force of the magnets 212, 214.
the closing tool 205 also has on its holder 206 a drive toothing 219 for applying the screwing movement.
the magnets 214 are each received in brackets 236 which are individually adjustably attached to the bracket 206 so that the gap L between the magnets 212, 214 along the guide rod 226 can be adjusted.
