Auf dem Gebiet der Konservierung von Lebensmitteln durch Hitzesterilisation in Metallbehältnissen setzt sich mehr und mehr die Verwendung von sogenannten Leichtbehältern durch, insbesondere die Verwendung von relativ großen Behältern mit einem Fassungsvermögen von über 1000 ml. Derartige Leichtbehälter bestehen aus einer Leichtmetallfolie, die mit einem heißsiegelfähigen Kunststoffbeschichtet ist. Das hermetische Verschließen derartiger Behälter erfolgt durch Verbinden des Deckelrsndes mit dem Schalenrand dergestalt, daß durch Beaufschlagen mit Wärme und Druck während einer Zeitspanne die beiden Kunststoffschichten miteinander homogen verbunden werden.In the field of food preservation by heat sterilization in metal containers The use of so-called lightweight containers is becoming more and more common, especially the use of relatively large containers with a capacity of over 1000 ml. Such lightweight containers consist of a light metal foil that is coated with a heat-sealable plastic. Such containers are hermetically sealed by Connect the Deckelrsndes with the shell edge in such a way that by applying heat and Pressure during a period of time, the two plastic layers are homogeneously connected to one another.

Bei derartigen Heißsiegelungen ist es erforderlich, eine relativ große Fläche zu verschließen, die darüber hinaus oftmals durch den Füllvorgang mit dem zu konservierenden Gut verschmutzt ist und wegen des Arbeitstaktes von dem Bedienungspersonal nur grob durch Abwischen gesäubert werden kann, so daßIn such heat seals it is necessary to seal a relatively large area that is above it is also often contaminated by the filling process with the goods to be preserved and because of the Work cycle can only be roughly cleaned by wiping the operator, so that zumindest noch Feuchtigkeit auf den heiß zu siegelnden hydrophoben Flächen vorliegt Nur bei Einhalten eng begrenzter Toleranzen der Parameter Temperatur, Druck und Zeit ist es möglich, die HeißsiegelungAt least there is still moisture on the hydrophobic surfaces to be heat-sealed. Only when adhering closely With limited tolerances of the parameters temperature, pressure and time, it is possible to heat-seal

. die Druckbedingungen sowie der Zeitfaktor, worunter. the printing conditions as well as the time factor, including zu verstehen ist sowohl die Siegeldauer, die die Zeit istWhat is to be understood is both the sealing duration and the time die nur die Dauer des vollen konstanten Siegeldrucks umfaßt, als auch die Zeitspannen, die bis zum Aufbau auf den Heißsiegeldruck und bis zum Abbau auf Normaldruck erforderlich sind. Innerhalb eines von der Art des Kunststoffes und der Temperatur abhängigen mögliwhich only includes the duration of the full, constant sealing pressure, as well as the time spans it takes to build up the heat seal pressure and until it is reduced to normal pressure are required. Within one of the kind of Plastic and temperature-dependent possible chen Siegeldruckbereiches gilt daß je höher der Druck, um so kürzer die Siegelzeit ist und die von dem Füllvorgang auf den Siegelflächen vorliegenden Verschmutzungen aus der Siegelzone um so besser herausgedrückt werden.In the sealing pressure range, the higher the pressure, the shorter the sealing time and the better the contamination from the sealing zone that is present on the sealing surfaces from the filling process be pushed out.

Nach der DE-AS 16 11 834 ist es im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufbau des Siegeldrucks und der Siegeldauer bekannt zur Regelung der Anpreßdauer der zu verschließenden Teile eines Verpackungsbehälters, zusätzlich zu einer mechanischen BetätigungseinrichAccording to DE-AS 16 11 834 it is related to the build-up of the sealing pressure and the sealing duration known for regulating the pressing time of the parts of a packaging container to be closed, in addition to a mechanical actuator tung eine steuerbare Verstelleinrichtung anzuwenden. Der gesamte Siegelvorgang, besteht aus den Zeitspannen, die den Aufbau auf den Heißsiegeldruck, die Siegeldauer und den Abbau auf den Normaldruck umschließen, verläuft sinusförmig dergestalt, daß zumdevice to use a controllable adjustment device. The entire sealing process consists of the periods of time that the heat seal pressure builds up Sealing duration and the breakdown to normal pressure enclose, runs sinusoidally in such a way that for einen relativ lange Zeitspannen für den Aufbau und den Abbau des Siegeldrucks vorliegen, sowie über die Siegeldauer kein konstanter Druck herrscht.there is a relatively long period of time for the build-up and breakdown of the sealing pressure, as well as over the Sealing time there is no constant pressure.

Auch nach der US-PS 28 25 194 erfolgt der Aufbau und der Abbau des Drucks innerhalb der SiegeldauerAccording to US Pat. No. 2,825,194, the pressure is built up and reduced within the sealing time längs einer Sinuskurve.along a sine curve.

Schließlich ist nach der CH-PS 4 64 696 eine Vorrichtung zur Ausbildung einer Schweißnaht beim Verschließen eines Verpackungsbehälters mit einem Deckel aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff bekannt, dieFinally, according to CH-PS 4 64 696, a device for forming a weld seam is at Closing a packaging container with a lid made of thermoplastic known that

Bei dieser Vorrichtung findet eine Drucksicherung Anwendung, die vergleichbar zu dem in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung vorgesehenen DruckluftkissenIn this device, a pressure safety device is used which is comparable to the compressed air cushion provided in the device according to the invention ist, weil die hydraulische Flüssigkeit über ein Luftpolster abgegeben wird. Im Hinblick auf diesen Stand der Technik wird für die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Vorrichtungsanspruchs lediglich Schutz im Zusammenhang mit der Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßenis because the hydraulic fluid is released through an air cushion. With regard to this state of the Technology is only protection for the characterizing features of the device claim in connection with the implementation of the invention Verfahrens nach den Verfahrensansprüchen beansprucht.Method claimed according to the method claims.

Nach dem Stand der Technik ist man bisher davon ausgegangen, daß die Parameter der Temperatur, derAccording to the prior art, it has been assumed that the parameters of the temperature, the

Zeitdauer des Beaufschlagens mit dem Siegeldruck, also die Siegeldauer, sowie die Höhe des Siegeldruckes den Versiegelungsvorgang vollinhaltlich beschreiben und somk entsprechendes Einstellen bzw.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bei dieser bekannten Arbeitsweise auftretende erhebliche Ausschußquote zu reduzieren.The invention is based on the problem of the considerable that occurs in this known mode of operation To reduce the reject rate.

Diese Aufgabe wird verfahrensmäßig erfmdungcgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Druckaufbau auf den Siegeldruck innerhalb einer Zeitspanne erfolgt, die weniger als 20% der Siegeldauer beträgt, wobei eine erste bevorzugte Ausführungsform weniger als 10% und eine zweite bevorzugte Ausführungsform eine Zeitspanne von 3 bis 5% der Siegeldauer vorsiehtThis task is procedurally according to the invention solved in that the pressure build-up on the Sealing pressure takes place within a period of time that is less than 20% of the sealing time, with one first preferred embodiment less than 10% and a second preferred embodiment one Provides a period of 3 to 5% of the sealing duration

Im Zusammenhang mit der Durchführung dieses erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird diese Aufgabe mit einer Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 4 erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelost, daß der mechanische Antrieb aus einem Kniehebel besteht, der durch einen an seinem Kniegelenk angreifenden, durch beide Stirnwände eines Hydraulikzylinders hindurchgeführten, doppelt wirkenden Kolben wechselweise nach beiden Seiten seiner Strecklage ausknickbar istIn connection with the implementation of this method according to the invention, this object is achieved with a device according to the preamble of claim 4 according to the invention solved in that the mechanical drive consists of a toggle lever that acts on his knee joint by a double-acting piston passed through both end walls of a hydraulic cylinder can be buckled on both sides of its extended position

Durch die Erfindung wird gelehrt, daß es einen noch nicht erkannten kritischen Parameter im Zusammenhang mit dem Siegelvorgang gibt, und zwar die Zeitspanne des Druckaufbaues bis zu dem eigentlichen Siegeldruck, also bis zum Beginn der Siegeldauer.The invention teaches that there is a not yet recognized critical parameter in the context with the sealing process, namely the time span from the pressure build-up to the actual Sealing pressure, i.e. until the beginning of the sealing period.

Langwierige Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, daß die Zeitspanne des Druckaufbaues bis zum Siegeldruck nicht größer als 20% der Siegeldauer sein soll und sich vorzugsweise auf wesentlich darunter belauft, insbesondere unter 10% und ganz besonders bevorzugt auf 3 bis 5%.Lengthy investigations have shown that the time span between the pressure build-up and the sealing pressure should not be greater than 20% of the sealing time and is preferably much less, in particular below 10% and very particularly preferably to 3 to 5%.

Eine Erklärung, worauf das hiermit erzielte günstige Ergebnis letztlich zurückzuführen ist, kann nicht gegeben werden. Tatsache ist jedoch, daß die Ausschußquote gegenüber einer Verfahrensweise, bei der der Druckanstieg außerhalb des erfindungsgemäßen Bereiches liegt, wenigstens in der Größenordnung einer Zehnerpotenz niedriger liegt.An explanation of what the favorable result achieved with this is ultimately due to cannot be given are given. The fact is, however, that the reject rate is compared to a procedure in which the Pressure rise outside the range according to the invention is at least of the order of magnitude Power of ten is lower.

When a work cycle is triggered, the toggle lever 4 is stretched and the lower sealing tool 3b is moved in the direction of the upper sealing tool 3a. The lower sealing tool 3b moves against the stationary upper sealing tool 3a approximately 15 ° in front of the extended position of the toggle lever. The number of degrees mentioned here is only to be understood as an example; the arrangement can be set so that the two sealing tools 3a, 3b come into contact in an angular range of the toggle lever 4 of 5 to 20 °.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt beginnt der eigentliche Siegelvorgang, d. h. die Siegelzeit, durch den plötzlichen Druckaufbau gegen den Luftzylinder 6, der unter einem vorgegebenen Druck stehtAt this point the actual sealing process begins, d. H. the sealing time, due to the sudden build-up of pressure against the air cylinder 6, which is under a given pressure

Somit braucht weder in dem Luftzylinder 6 noch in dem Hydraulikzylinder 7 aufgrund des günstigen Übersetzungsverhältnisses des Kniehebels 4 ein Druck aufgebaut zu werden. Die Siegelzeit dauert solange, bisThus, neither in the air cylinder 6 nor in the hydraulic cylinder 7 due to the favorable Transmission ratio of the toggle lever 4 a pressure to be built up. The sealing time lasts until

« der Kniehebel durch seine gestreckte Lage unter Ausknicken bis etwa 15° zu der anderen Seite gefahren ist. Sodann ist die Siegeldauer beendet, der Kolben 5 des Luftzylinders 6 befindet sich wieder in der ursprünglichen Lage, und bei Weiterfahren des Hydraulikzylinders 7 bis in seine Endlage, wobei der Kniehebel 4 dann etwa 45° zur gestreckten Mittellage, aus der der Ausgangslage gegenüberliegenden Lage vorliegt, ist dann das untere Siegelwerkzeug 3b wieder in die Ausgangslage abgesenkt. Der nächste Siegelvorgang wird durch Rücklauf des Kolbens des Hydraulikzylinders 7 inganggesetzt, wodurch der Kniehebel 4 dann in die ursprüngliche Lage erneut ausgeknickt wird.«The toggle lever has moved to the other side through its extended position, buckling up to about 15 °. The sealing time is then ended, the piston 5 of the air cylinder 6 is again in the original position, and when the hydraulic cylinder 7 continues to travel to its end position, the toggle lever 4 then being approximately 45 ° to the extended central position, from the position opposite the starting position , the lower sealing tool 3b is then lowered back into the starting position. The next sealing process is started by the return of the piston of the hydraulic cylinder 7, as a result of which the toggle lever 4 is then bent again into its original position.

Durch den durchgehenden Kolben des Hydraulikzylinders ergeben sich bei Vor- und Rücklauf gleich große Kolbenflächen und somit gleiche Geschwindigkeiten.Due to the continuous piston of the hydraulic cylinder, the flow and return flow are the same Piston areas and thus the same speeds.
