Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the continuous filling and closing of cardboard/plastic composite packages which are open on one side, in particular beverage packages, with at least one filling zone for filling the open packages, and a closing zone for closing the open package end, wherein the individual zones are rotating functional wheels with recesses arranged on the outside, as well as a filling wheel and a closing wheel, wherein the individual packages are arranged in cell cages which are successively transferred to the individual wheels, wherein the cell cages are held in the recesses of the wheels in a non-positive manner by means of magnets.
  • the invention also relates to a cell cage for transporting such packages in the device.
  • a host of different designs of devices for the filling and closing of cardboard/plastic composite packages, in particular beverage packages, are known.
  • intermittent devices the package is produced step-by-step on an mandrel wheel on whose individual stations a package which is open on one side is made from a package sleeve.
  • the cycle speed of the mandrel wheel dictates the speed of the following steps during filling and closing the packages, and limits this speed. The speed cannot be increased at will because sloshing over of the product, as a result of the cyclic transport after filling the still open packages, cannot be prevented. Furthermore, mechanical wear increases.
  • intermittently operating filling devices are disadvantageous because as a rule they are designed as longitudinally operating machines, i.e. the individual process steps take place in sequence along a straight machine line. While it is possible to design these machines so that they have several lines, this would increase the complexity of the construction and result in poor access to the tools arranged on the inner lines.
  • longitudinally operating machines are associated with the disadvantage in that fixed coupling of the packages guided along transport chains always causes a standstill of the entire system, even if only one fault has occurred in a single location. Here again, the fastest speed is always only as fast as the maximum speed of the slowest-operating unit within the line.
  • transfer wheels with recesses arranged on the outside are provided for transferring the cell cages between the individual wheels, and in that the transfer wheels comprise means for rotating the cell cages in their recesses.
  • the invention reflects the finding that despite maintaining a non-positive holding arrangement using magnets it is possible to achieve a particularly gentle outward transfer of the packages from a functional wheel to a transfer wheel in that the entire cell cage is rotated on its vertical axis. If only one magnet, or several magnets located on top of each other, is/are provided, rotation causes detachment no longer to take place vertically in relation to the magnet surface, but almost parallel to it. Even more pronounced is the advantage, as will be explained in detail below, if several magnets are used, arranged around the circumference. For, such an arrangement causes the lifting or putting in place of the magnets in succession, so that only a lighter force is required and moreover noise generation is also reduced.
  • filling of the packages to be filled takes place in an aseptic way.
  • a sterilising wheel is provided upstream of the filling wheel, and the entire transport zone from the sterilising wheel to the filling wheel to and including the closing wheel is a closed sterile channel, so that any entry of dirt or germs into this sterile zone is reliably prevented.
  • the device according to the invention it is possible to fill both two-part packages which comprise a container and a cover, and single-part folding packages as they are available on the market in a multitude of designs as flat-ridge multi-layer drink cartons.
  • a package forming wheel is provided as the last wheel, which is used to impart its cuboid final shape to the package that has just been closed, and if necessary to fold back the still protruding ears of the package.
  • the diameter of the individual functional wheels provides the opportunity to optimally match the fastest transport speed and the respectively required treatment duration in the respective position.
  • the moved tools are firmly installed on the rotating functional wheels so that relative movement or a return of the tools is not necessary.
  • the transfer wheels can be extremely small when compared to the functional wheels.
  • a further teaching of the invention provides for the cell cage, for inward transfer, to rest without jerking against the magnets of the functional wheels, and, for outward transfer, to detach from them.
  • a rotably held control element is provided for each recess, wherein said rotatably held control element is rotated via a drive in such a way that the cell cage rests against the magnets of the functional wheels without jerking, and detaches from them in the same manner.
  • the control element is of a shape which engages the cell cage in a positive-locking manner so that the device according to the invention in a way establishes a combined non-positive locking connection/positive-locking connection.
  • the end of the control element which protrudes into each control of the transfer wheel is designed in a fork-like manner.
  • control system is a cam control with a fixed control slide for guiding a sliding block arranged on the control element. Since the transfer wheels do not comprise magnets, holding of the cell cages has to take place in some other way.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides for guide rails for constrained guidance of the cell cages to be arranged in the region of the transfer wheels, at a distance from these transfer wheels.
  • all wheels including the transfer wheels are arranged in one plane so that the cell cages also only rotate in one plane. Consequently, the empty packages are fed from above into the cell cages, and the full packages are removed upward from the cell cages.
  • inserting and removing the packages into/from the cell cages takes place along a helical path so that this has no influence on the transport speed of the cell cages. To this effect, an automated feed device may be used.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides for the number of cell cages used to be finite, and to correspond to the number of the maximum occupiable accommodation stations of all wheels and transfer wheels.
  • the rotating cell cages quasi correspond to a “transport chain” except that they provide a substantial advantage in that the individual “chain members” are not linked to each other, but instead can easily be exchanged if required.
  • a cell cage provided for use with the device according to the invention features an open-top cell body for accommodating a package to be filled, and at least one collar, connected to the cell body, which collar comprises at least one upward or downward protruding driver element, wherein the driver element engages the fork of the control element, so as to allow rotation of the cell cage within the recess of the transfer wheel on the vertical axis of said cell cage.
  • the cell cage comprises an upper and a lower collar.
  • the collars are rounded on the outside.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides for each collar to comprise at least one bearing pin.
  • This bearing pin is situated on the outside of the recesses of the functional wheels or transfer wheels and according to a further preferred teaching of the invention is made from a ferromagnetic material so that magnets which are correspondingly arranged on the wheels ensure a safe grip between the pickup station in the recess of a wheel and the cell cage.
  • each cell body comprises four wall plates and a cell floor.
  • the cell floor is preferably designed so as to be height-adjustable within the cell body so that with the package cross-section remaining the same, different package formats can be accommodated.
  • the cell cage comprises at least one index pin for determining its orientation.
  • the orientation of the package in the cell cage is important, for example in the case of weakened zones arranged on one side, or pouring elements attached to one side.
  • the index pin it is thus easily possible, in spite of the round collar, to automatically carry out unambiguous position determination of the package in relation to the functional wheels.

  • FIG. 7 an alternative solution for outward transfer of the packages from the cell cages.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a top view of a device according to the invention. Shown are the differently-sized wheels which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the prefolding tools have to be replaced by welding tools if the packages P to be filled are packages whose aperture is not closed off by folding and sealing, but instead by putting a plastic cap or the like in place. In this case it is also possible to carry out sterilising and filling through the pouring aperture arranged in the cap.
  • the prefolding wheel 1 is followed by a sterilising wheel 2 which has the largest diameter because the process of sterilising the packages P to be filled takes longer than all the other processes.
  • the tools necessary for this are arranged within or above the sterilising wheel 2 and are not shown in the drawing.
  • the sterilising wheel 2 is followed by a filling wheel 3 in which the packages are filled.
  • the filled package is then closed in a closing wheel 4 and is finally given the final shape in a package forming wheel 5 .
  • package “ears” that still protrude are put in their proper place so that the package assumes its right parallelepiped shape.
  • the embodiment shown comprises transfer wheels 6 , 6 ′ between the individual above-mentioned wheels, wherein said transfer wheels 6 , 6 ′ are arranged in the same plane as the remaining wheels 1 to 5 , thus ensuring continuous transport of the packages P to be filled.
  • the transfer wheel 6 ′ is larger than the other transfer wheels 6 .
  • the diagram shows that most of the circumference of the sterilisation wheel 2 , the entire filling wheel 3 and most of the closing wheel 4 are designed in an encapsulated way as a sterile channel 7 . This reliably prevents dirt or germs entering the interior of the packages P after the sterilisation process.
  • transport of the packages P to be filled takes place by means of cell cages 8 which will be described in detail below.
  • an automatic feeder device 9 (not shown in detail)
  • the packages P to be filled are transferred from above into the open-top cell cages 8 , namely along a helical path (not shown) in the area of the prefolding wheel 1 .
  • outward transfer of the filled and closed packages P′ takes place in the region of the package forming wheel 5 , wherein here too, the packages P′ are moved along a helical path (also not shown) from the plane of the cell cage and are thus conveyed to a point where a pouring element is applied or where palletising and dispatch take place.
  • the transport wheels comprise two discs or rings 10 and 11 which are spaced apart parallel to each other, wherein said discs or rings 10 and 11 comprise accommodation spaces for the cell cages 8 , with said accommodation spaces being distributed around the circumference of said rings 10 and 11 , with said accommodation spaces being in the shape of recesses 12 .
  • FIG. 2 also shows that the recesses 12 in the upper ring 10 comprise an upper bearing surface 13 , and in the lower ring 11 a corresponding lower bearing surface 14 .
  • FIG. 2 also shows the diagrammatic design of a cell cage 8 .
  • Said cell cage comprises a cell body 15 for accommodating the open-top package.
  • the cell body 15 comprises an upper collar 16 and a lower collar 17 which are of equal size and which are circular in shape.
  • each of the two collars 16 , 17 comprise two bearing pins 18 which protrude vertically upward or downward from said collar 16 , 17 , with said bearing pins 18 being suitable and destined to “dock” the circular cell cages 8 always tangentially to the corresponding wheels.
  • the cell cage 8 is however not shown in its operating position but instead at some distance from it.
  • Magnets 19 which are arranged in the end region of the bearing surfaces 13 or 14 are positioned such that they correspond to the bearing pins 18 which to this effect expediently comprise a ferromagnetic material. It has been shown that this simple form of non-positive connection of the respective wheel and cell cage 8 is sufficient to safely hold the cell cages 8 in the recesses 12 of the wheels. In this arrangement, the support surfaces 13 A and 14 A secure the height position of the cell cages 8 by means of the collars 16 and 17 .
  • FIG. 3 shows a possible embodiment of the cell cage 8 in greater detail.
  • the cell body 15 comprises four wall plates 15 A, 15 B, 15 C, 15 D which in their upper region are angled outward slightly in order to facilitate automatic placement of the packages P to be accommodated.
  • the lower part of the cell body 15 is designed as a height-adjustably arranged cell floor 20 , which can be fixed along the double arrow (not shown) at any height required by the various package formats.
  • the upper collar 16 comprises a driver pin 21 , whose function is described below, which in the embodiment shown protrudes downward.
  • the driver pin 21 can at the same time be an index pin which makes it possible to maintain the initially taken up position of the package P in the cell cage 8 throughout the entire passage through the filling machine. This is necessary because otherwise the circular cell cage 8 with its bearing pins 18 might rotate on a vertical axis to two different positions by 180° along the device.
  • This index pin is always necessary where the type of package to be filled requires unequivocal positioning, as is for example the case in packages which comprise a pouring element arranged on one side; or a weakened zone arranged on one side, with a pouring element having to be affixed to said weakened zone.
  • FIG. 4 shows the transfer of the cell cage 8 from one transport wheel to another.
  • the already mentioned transfer wheel 6 also comprises an upper and a lower wheel element, both of which are interconnected in a rotationally rigid way by means of a shaft 22 .
  • This transfer wheel 6 is not driven; the shaft 22 is accommodated by a bearing 23 which is rigidly connected to the device.
  • the transfer wheel 6 also comprises an upper bearing surface 13 ′ and a lower bearing surface 14 ′; however, these bearing surfaces do not comprise magnets in their end regions.
  • a guide rail 24 holds the cell cage 8 in the respective recess of the transfer wheel 6 , which in the embodiment shown comprises six recesses.
  • the cell cages 8 leave the transfer wheel 6 and are moved into the corresponding recesses 12 of the sterilisation wheel 2 until the non-positive connection between the bearing pins 18 and the magnets 19 becomes effective.
  • FIG. 4 the rotation means of the cell cages are not shown.
  • the function of the design according to the invention is shown with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 , wherein for a better overview outward transfer and inward transfer are shown in separate drawings.
  • FIG. 5 shows a snapshot taken during outward transfer of a cell cage 8 from a functional wheel, in the present instance the prefolding wheel 1 , by means of the transfer wheel 6 .
  • the right bearing pin 18 in FIG. 5 has already detached itself from the magnet 19 .
  • the bearing pin 18 has however already moved away from the circular path U 6 around the centre of the transfer wheel, namely by means of rotation of the cell cage 8 in the interior of the recess 12 ′, due to the interaction between the driver fork 26 of the control element 25 around the driver pin 21 .
  • control slide 27 is arranged so as to be fixed, by means of which a sliding block 28 connected to the control element 25 is moved.
  • the geometry of the control slide 27 is optimised for the two “problem zones” of outward transfer and inward transfer. It is clear that the control slide 27 goes all the way round, even if for reasons of improved clarity only part of it is shown.
  • U 1 denotes the circular path of the holding pins 18 around the prefolding wheel 1 .
  • FIG. 6 shows the situation during inward transfer of a cell cage 8 onto a functional wheel; in the case shown, the sterilisation wheel 2 .
  • the control element 25 rotates the cell cage 8 rearward before it reaches the sterilisation wheel 2 so that the advancing holding pin 18 does not continue on the circular path U 6 , but instead moves on a controlled curve U S and in this way tangentially approaches the circular path U 2 of the sterilisation wheel 2 in a defined way.
  • “gentle” inward and outward transfer of the cell cages 8 in the region of the transfer wheels 6 takes place.
  • FIG. 7 diagrammatically shows an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention as far as the design solution of outward transfer of the packages P from the cell cages 8 is concerned. Since the packages P to be transported are relatively fragile, this solution provides for the filled packages P to be clamped from top and bottom by corresponding holding elements 29 , 30 , thus maintaining their horizontal transport path, while the cell cages 8 are moved vertically downward on a corresponding outward transfer wheel (not shown) until the packages P are released and can be conveyed to the downstream unit, for example a palletising station.
