Definitions
- Transport device for transporting containers
- the invention relates to a transport device for transporting containers and to a container transport section with such a transport device and to a method for transporting containers.
- Transport devices for transporting containers are well known.
- empty or filled containers are conveyed or transported along a transport or conveyor route, for example on predetermined transport routes between successive container treatment machines, container treatment stations or units in a production process, in particular from a treatment machine to a container treatment machine of a container treatment plant that follows in a transport direction.
- the containers for example bottles
- the containers are not only transported in an upright position, for example by means of so-called belt or chain conveyors, but also in particular off the ground, i.e. hanging, for example via star conveyors or transport stars.
- This hanging transport of bottles is also generally referred to as "neck handling".
- Such corresponding star conveyors or transport stars or transporters are usually designed in the form of a star-wheel-like rotor or transport wheel that can be driven to revolve around a vertical machine axis and have a large number of container receptacles or container carriers on the circumference, for example in the form of grippers, clamps, etc , namely for the hanging mounting of the containers, in particular the containers designed as bottles, preferably PET bottles.
- a flange is formed or formed on the containers to be transported in the region of the bottle neck, namely in the neck region of the container, which flange is usually also referred to as a neck ring.
- the container receptacles or container carriers can be designed and arranged in such a way that they hold the containers below the flange or above the flange to grab. In technical jargon, this is often also referred to as “underneck” gripping or “overneck” gripping.
- the transport wheels of a transport route are often arranged in such a way that one transport wheel with a gripping position below the neck ring and one transport wheel with a gripping position above the neck ring are arranged alternately , so that when the containers are transferred between consecutive transport wheels, there is a change from "under the neck” gripping to "over the neck” gripping - and vice versa.
- the object of the invention is to provide a transport device for transporting containers along a container transport route which, with a technically, structurally simple and space-saving design, improves the transport of containers in neck handling in container treatment systems and can also be integrated into existing container transport routes.
- the invention provides a transport device for transporting containers along a container transport route.
- the transport device comprises at least one transport star, the transport star having at least one first rotor-like transport element which is aligned in a first horizontal plane and can be driven continuously around a first vertical star axis.
- Distributed around the first star axis on the circumference of the first transport element are a plurality of first container carriers, each arranged at a first height and gripping the containers at a first gripping height, for hanging the containers.
- at least one first motor drive is provided for driving at least the first rotor-like transport element in rotation.
- the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the transport star has a second rotor-like transport element in addition to the first transport element.
- the second transport element is arranged or aligned in a second horizontal plane and can be driven continuously around a second vertical star axis, with a large number of container carriers, each arranged at a second height and gripping the containers at a second gripping height, being distributed around the circumference of the second transport element hanging holding of the containers are provided.
- the first and second star axis are offset from one another and the transport elements partially overlap.
- the at least one transport star of the transport device according to the invention advantageously has two rotor-like transport elements which are coupled to one another and work together.
- the transport elements of the transport stem can also be used as supporting structures running around or as supporting wheels or supporting disks or referred to as wheels, the two transport elements of the transport system being arranged one above the other in two horizontal planes and aligned in an overlapping manner with respect to one another such that the majority of their surfaces preferably overlap, but their arrangement deviates from a concentric arrangement.
- the overlap is for example at least 70% or at least 75% of the area of the respective transport elements, preferably at least 80% or 85%, particularly preferably at least 90% or 95% and particularly preferably around 96% of the area of the respective transport elements.
- the two transport elements of the transport stem are mounted eccentrically one above the other.
- the transport system can therefore also be referred to as a two-gyroscope star with eccentric rotors or as a double-gyroscope star with eccentric rotors, namely as an eccentric two-gyroscope star or double-gyroscope star, whereby due to the non-concentric and superimposed arrangement of the two transport elements, the peripheral shape of the transport system formed therefrom deviates from the circular shape.
- the respective container carriers distributed on the circumference of each transport element each describe a circular path.
- these circular paths of the container carriers intersect in two areas or points.
- respective container carriers of the first transport element coincide with respective container carriers of the second transport element during the circulation of the transport elements, so that in these areas a transfer or transfer of containers held hanging from the first transport element to the second transport element or vice versa from the second to the first transport element is possible.
- the gripping area in particular the gripping position or gripping height of the containers on the movement path of the containers within a single transport system, namely within of one and the same transport star.
- the present transport device can also be referred to as an active clamp system or active interchangeable clamp system.
- a second motor drive or a gear-like coupling with the first motor drive is provided in order to drive the second rotor-like transport element.

- a regulation is suitable for maintaining a synchronous sequence of movements of the transport elements even under changing load conditions.
- the first and second rotor-like transport element can be carried by a common support column.
- an outer support structure can be provided, with at least one of the two rotor-like transport elements being supported by the outer support structure.
- the first and/or the second motor drive is preferably a hollow shaft motor. This proves to be particularly advantageous in variants in which both transport elements are carried by a common support column.
- the non-concentric superimposed arrangement of the two transport elements is such that the first and second vertical star axes run parallel and at a specified axial distance from one another, i.e. the two star axes run with a specified axial offset or the transport elements have a specified axial offset on.
- the axial offset is such that it is ensured that during the circulation of the transport elements in the region of the intersections of the circular paths described by the container carriers, respective container carriers of the first transport element coincide with respective container carriers of the second transport element.
- the extent of the axial offset should ensure that there is a sufficiently small or no overlap between the container carriers of the two transport elements at the inlet and outlet areas of the transport star, but that the respective container carriers of the transport elements are offset or “shifted” from one another in such a way that that at these inlet and outlet areas only the container carriers of one of the two transport elements on the circumference of the transport stem protrude or protrude in an accessible manner.
- incoming containers can advantageously be taken over by an upstream conveyor unit or an upstream conveyor element or a treatment station and the containers can be transferred to a downstream conveyor unit or a downstream conveyor element or a treatment station quickly, effectively and without problems.

- the center distance is particularly preferably around 3.0% or 3.1% of the diameter of the star wheels.
- the peripheral shape of the transport star deviates from the circular shape due to the axial offset of the transport elements.
- a transport axis of the transport system intersects both the first and the second vertical star axis essentially perpendicularly, with a longitudinal extension running along the transport axis of the coupled and interacting transport elements of the transport system being greater than a width of the coupled and interacting transport elements running essentially perpendicular to the transport axis interacting transport elements.
- the transport star has a take-over position in an infeed area for taking over the containers from a conveyor unit arranged along the container transport route in front of the transport star.
- the transport star also has a transfer position in an outlet area for transferring the containers to a conveying unit arranged downstream of the transport star along the container transport path.
- the transfer position is upstream of the transfer position with respect to a movement path of the containers running over part of the circumference of the transport system, with the transfer position being provided by the first transport element and the transfer position being provided by the second transport element, or vice versa, the transfer position being provided by the second transport element and the Transfer position is provided by the first transport element.
- At least one first changing position is particularly preferably provided in an angular region of the transport system located on the path of movement of the containers between the transfer position and the transfer position, in order to enable the containers to be changed between the first and second transport element of the transport system.
- the transport system is configured to transfer the containers at the at least one first exchange position from the first transport element to the second transport element and/or from the second transport element to the first transport element.
- the acceptance position and the transfer position are preferably arranged on opposite sides of the circumference of the transport stem, specifically essentially on opposite sides of the circumference in the direction of the transport axis.
- the at least one first changing position is arranged in an angular range of around 90° starting from the transfer position on the circumference of the transport stem. If one now assumes that the path of movement of the containers along the circumference of the transport system from the takeover position to the transfer position covers an angular range of approximately 180°, the containers are transferred from one transport element to the other transport element at approximately half the path of movement. t element enough.
- the "change of grip" namely the change from "below the neck” gripping to "over the neck” gripping or vice versa, takes place at about half the movement path along the circumference of the transport stem.

- the container carriers are designed in the form of container clamps, the container clamps being movable from at least one open position into at least one closed gripping position.
- a controller for the container clamps is particularly preferably provided for this purpose and the movement of the container clamps from the open position to the gripping position and vice versa from the gripping position to the open position is controlled.
- each container clamp can comprise at least two gripping arms pivotably mounted on a support body, each container clamp being movable from the open position to the gripping position and vice versa from the gripping position to the open position by pivoting the gripping arms relative to one another.
- the first and the second rotor-like transport element are advantageously arranged relative to one another in such a way that the transport system has at least one position in which a container carrier of the first transport element and a container carrier of the second transport element come to lie congruently one above the other, i.e. in relation to a vertical direction.
- This position is expediently the previously mentioned changing position. It is particularly preferred if the transport system has two positions in which a container carrier of the first transport element and a container carrier of the second transport element come to lie congruently one above the other.

In contrast to the example shown in Figure 1, in the container transport section S of container treatment system 100 in the example in Figure 2, there is a transport device with a Transport stem 1 provided according to the invention.
- the gripping height of corresponding container receptacles or container carriers 4, 6, namely grippers or clamps, is changed on the movement path of the container 2 along part of the circumference of the transport star wheel 1, as will be explained in more detail below in connection with FIGS.

- the gripping position can be changed in one and the same transport star wheel on the way from the takeover at the takeover position P2 to the transfer at the transfer position P2'.
- the containers describe a movement path that deviates from the ideal circular shape.
- the takeover position P2 and the transfer position P2' come to lie approximately on the transport axis TA and thus enclose an angular range of around 180°.
