Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for supplying closures to a closure for closing containers with the closures, preferably in a beverage bottling plant.
  • Cappers are known for applying caps to filled containers, for example for applying crown caps or screw caps to bottles in beverage bottling plants.
  • a capper in a rotary design has a rotating carousel on the circumference of which a number of capping elements and associated container holders are mounted. The container to be closed is transferred to a container holder of the carousel via a container feed, for example via a transfer star wheel, and is closed with a closure by means of an associated closing element during transport along a pitch circle of the carousel.
  • a capper is for example in DE 10 2012 103 518 A1 described.
  • the caps are usually fed to the capper via a capping chute, through which the caps are either transferred directly to the capper or to a so-called pick wheel, which is arranged in front of the actual capper and the caps provided by the capping chute in a continuous stream to the required pitch / clock brings.
  • the closures are provided in advance by means of a provision device, including, for example, a sorting and/or alignment of the closures.
  • the supply device is usually arranged above the capper and is connected to the capper via the capping chute, in which the sorted and correctly aligned caps are guided.
  • the closures then slip due to their own weight or otherwise driven by the Delivery device to the capper.
  • a system of capper, delivery device and capping chute is, for example, from DE 10 2018 129 548 A1 out.
  • a gap occurs in the sequence of containers to be sealed.
  • the cap chute should not transfer a cap to the capper, otherwise the excess cap may cause malfunctions in the capper.
  • the stopper includes an actuatable finger which, when required, engages the closure channel and stops closure feeding.
  • a shutter feeder with a stopper is shown, for example, in DE 10 2012 110 102 A1 described.
  • Such a stopper causes an abrupt stop, as a result of which, due to the mass inertia of the following closures, a high dynamic pressure builds up on the front closures, which can damage or deform the closures. Such damage or deformation of the closures can lead to closures jamming in the closure channel, thus preventing the closure feed from being restarted, or causing malfunctions in the closure unit. Manual intervention by an operator is required, which reduces plant productivity.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved device for feeding caps to a capper, preferably in a beverage bottling plant, in particular to reduce any damage/deformation of the caps and/or to optimize the plant productivity.
  • the device according to the invention serves to supply closures to a capper for capping containers with the closures.
  • the device is particularly preferably used in a beverage bottling plant, for example for bottling water (still or carbonated), soft drinks, beer, wine, juice, smoothies, dairy products, mixed drinks and the like.
  • the device comprises a capping chute for feeding the caps to the capper, the capping chute being arranged and set up in such a way that the caps are guided and transported along a transport path predetermined by the capping chute.
  • the closure chute thus has a shape and dimensions corresponding to the closures, viewed in cross section perpendicular to the transport path, so that the closures in the closure chute can move along the defined transport path in the direction of the capper.
  • the device also has a stopping device with a stopper which, according to the invention, is set up to decelerate and stop the supply of the closures to the closure device in the closure channel along a braking distance.
  • a stopping device with a stopper which, according to the invention, is set up to decelerate and stop the supply of the closures to the closure device in the closure channel along a braking distance.
  • the shutters are not stopped abruptly when the shutter feeding is stopped, but the stopper is a cushioning stopper by decelerating the shutters along a certain distance, thus stopping the shutter feeding smoothly.
  • the braking distance naturally defines a distance greater than zero.
  • the stopper is designed to slow down along the braking distance, i.e. it does not include minimal and unintentional deformations, vibrations and the like, caused by material or design, as well as any design-related play between components.
  • the cap supply is not stopped abruptly in the event of an interruption, but the caps are slowed down along a braking distance, the dynamic pressure and thus the force on caps in the area of the stopping device, caused by subsequent caps, is slowly and gently reduced.
  • the gentle force reduction prevents damage and/or deformation of the closures when stopping the closure supply. Mechanical interventions after machine stops are not necessary or can at least be reduced, which optimizes the system efficiency.
  • the stopper preferably comprises a stop element designed in the manner of a pin, pen or finger, in which case the stopper is set up to move the stop element into the closure channel in such a way that the supply of the closures to the closure can be blocked. If the supply of caps to the capper is to be interrupted, the stopping device moves the stop element into the capping channel, for example by means of a corresponding triggering device, so that the flow of caps to the capper is blocked.
  • the triggering device can actuate the stop element electrically, magnetically, hydraulically, pneumatically or purely mechanically, for example.
  • the stop element is particularly preferably mounted so that it can be displaced along the closing channel. In this way, a mechanically simple and reliable stopper is realized.
  • the stopper can have a rotatably mounted stop wheel with a plurality of circumferentially arranged engagement sections which can each be brought into engagement with a closure in the closure channel in order to stop the supply of closures to the closure.
  • the stop wheel is preferably a gear wheel with a pitch matching the locks in the lock channel, the engagement portions being formed by the teeth of the gear wheel.
  • the stopping device preferably has a braking device which is connected to the stopping wheel and is set up to stop rotation of the stopping wheel, i.e. to block it or to brake it to a standstill.
  • the stop wheel is rotatably mounted on the braking device, with the gentle braking of the closure feed preferably being achieved in that the braking device brakes the stop wheel in a controlled manner over a certain angle of rotation, which corresponds to the braking distance.
  • the braking device includes a variable-speed electric motor, for example a synchronous motor, and a corresponding controller.
  • the stopper is preferably mounted so that it can be displaced along the braking distance.
  • the stopper for example specifically a bearing of the stop wheel or stop element, can be slidably installed by means of a guide.
  • the guide is preferably attached to a support which is stationary relative to the closure channel.
  • the braking distance can be adjusted flexibly and well-defined by mechanically simple means by mounting the stopper so that it can be displaced along the braking distance.
  • the stopping device preferably has a damping device which is set up to damp a displacement of the stopper along the braking path, as a result of which the closure supply is braked particularly gently.
  • the damping device can be formed by an elongate, elastic part, for example a spring, which is fastened on one side to the holder and on the other side to the stopper. In this way, the damping device can be mechanically simple and implement in a reliable manner.
  • the damping device can work pneumatically or magnetically.
  • a pneumatic cylinder can be installed between the holder and the stopper, which can also dampen or gently brake the movement of the closures.
  • the closure channel is preferably arranged and set up in such a way that the closures can be transported along the transport path due to the force of gravity, with the closure channel running at least in sections inclined (relative to the horizontal) and/or vertically for this purpose.
  • the caps can be transported in the cap channel without a dedicated drive.
  • the braking distance preferably has a vertical (vector) component, as a result of which the construction is mechanically particularly simple and reliable.
  • the braking distance can essentially run entirely in the direction of gravity.
  • the propulsion of the closures in the closure channel towards the capper can be generated or supported in some other way, for example by a magnet unit in the case of metal closures such as crown caps.
  • the closure channel is preferably set up in such a way that there is always a maximum of exactly one closure at a given position on the transport path.
  • the closures move in the closure chute one behind the other along the transport path, which simplifies the controlled supply to the capper and the separation.
  • the above-mentioned object is also achieved by a system or a device with a closure for closing containers, a device connected thereto for feeding closures to the closure according to one of the embodiment variants presented above, and a delivery device which is set up to supply closures for closing the Provide containers and transfer them to the device for feeding closures.
  • the capper can have a pick wheel onto which the caps are placed via the capping chute.
  • the pick wheel is a star-wheel-shaped feed device which brings the closures provided by the closure chute in a continuous stream to the spacing or timing specified in the closure unit. If necessary, a pick wheel can be dispensed with in that the closures are transferred from the closure chute to a transfer platform, for example.
  • the transfer platform is set up in such a way that the closures placed on it can be picked up and further processed by closure members of the closure unit.
  • the supply device is preferably set up to sort and/or align the closures.
  • the provision device can have a closure reservoir, preferably of a cylindrical design, which is set up to accommodate a large number of closures.
  • the closure reservoir can have an agitator for mixing and/or conveying and/or aligning the closures. Crown caps, screw caps or corks, for example, can be used as closures.
  • the stopping device is preferably set up to decelerate the supply of the caps to the capper in the capping channel during the transition from an operating state in which the caps are to be fed to the capper to a stop state in which the cap supply to the capper is to be interrupted, along the braking distance.
  • the transition from the operating state to the stop state and vice versa takes place as required, for example in the event of a technical fault in the capper. In this way it can be effectively prevented that, in the event of a gap in the sequence of containers to be sealed, the sealing chute transfers superfluous seals to the sealer, where the seals could otherwise cause problems.
  • the figure 1 shows a device 1 with a closure device 10 for closing containers (not shown in the figures) with corresponding closures 2 (cf. Figures 2a, 2b , 3 and 4 ) and a device 20 for feeding caps 2 to the capper 10.
  • the device 1 is preferably a plant part of a filling plant for filling containers with a filling product.
  • the device 1 is used in a beverage bottling plant, for example for bottling water (still or carbonated), soft drinks, beer, wine, juice, smoothies, milk products, mixed drinks and the like.
  • closures 2 that have been sorted and aligned with respect to their spatial position are fed to this from a supply device 30 arranged above the closing device 10 .
  • the supply device 30 for example, closures 2 that arrive unsorted are sorted.
  • the supply device 30 can have a closure reservoir 31, preferably of a cylindrical shape, which is set up to accommodate a large number of closures 2.

  • the closure channel 21 is largely inclined with respect to the horizontal and runs vertically in sections.
  • the closure channel 21 has a shape and dimensions corresponding to the closures 2, viewed in cross section perpendicular to the transport path, so that there is always a maximum of exactly one closure 2 at a given position of the transport path.
  • the caps 2 move one behind the other in the capping channel 21 along the transport path, with the capping channel 21 being designed like a slide so that the caps 2 slide down the capping channel 21 in the direction of the capper 10 after leaving the cap reservoir 31 .
  • a transfer segment 22 adjoins the closure chute 21 in the area of the capper 10 , through which the closures 2 are brought into a horizontal alignment and are transferred from the closure chute 21 to the capper 10 .
  • the closures 2 are transferred by the transfer segment 22 to a pick wheel 11 which is conceptually regarded here as a component of the closure device 10 .
  • the pick wheel 11 is a star-wheel-shaped feed device, which brings the closures 2 provided by the transfer segment 22 in a continuous stream to the pitch or timing specified in the closure unit 2 .
  • the pick wheel 11 transfers the closures 2 accordingly to closure members 12 which are arranged on the periphery of a carousel and set up to close the containers with a closure 2 each.
  • a pick wheel 11 can be dispensed with in that the closures 2 are transferred from the transfer segment 22 to a transfer platform, for example.
  • the transfer platform is set up in such a way that the closures 2 placed on it can be picked up by the closure elements 12 of the closure unit 10 and processed further.
  • the device 20 for feeding caps 2 also has a stop device 23 which is set up to interrupt the flow of caps 2 from the capping chute 21 to the capper 10 if necessary, for example if there is a technical fault in the capper 2 .
  • the stopper 23 is preferably arranged at a vertical portion of the shutter chute 21, tending towards the lower portion of the shutter chute 21.
  • FIG. 2a shows a state of the stop device 23 during regular operation, herein also referred to as "operational state” during which Figure 2b shows a state of the stopper 23 during an interruption of the shutter supply, also referred to herein as a "stop state”.
  • the stopping device 23 has a dampening stopper 230 which is set up to brake the closure feed in the closure channel 21 along a braking distance B greater than zero during the transition from the operating state to the stop state.
  • the shutters 2 are not stopped abruptly, but the stopper 230 rides or rotates a certain distance, thus smoothly stopping the shutter supply.
  • the stopper 23 includes a stopper wheel 231 having engaging portions 231a each engageable with a shutter 2 to stop shutter feeding.

  • FIG. 12 shows an alternative embodiment of the stop device 23 in which the stop wheel 231 is replaced by a stop element 237.
  • the stop element 237 is designed in the manner of a pin, pen or finger. If the supply of caps 2 to the capper 10 is to be interrupted, the stopping device 23 moves the stop element 237 into the capping channel 21 by means of a corresponding triggering device 238, so that the flow of caps 2 to the capper 10 is blocked.
