Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for removing shrink sleeves or all-round labels from Vessels according to the preamble of claim 1 and the Preamble of claim 10.
  • the invention is based on the object Method and apparatus to specify the one improved detachment of the labels or shrink sleeves enables.
  • This task is concerned with the procedure by the characterizing features of claim 1 and the device regarding by the characterizing features of the claim 10 solved.
  • a dividing line in the equipment material can be known in itself Way e.g. by means of a cutting blade or High pressure water jet take place, for which the vessels preferably in an axial clamping between her Head and its bottom surface on a feed dog, in the Usually a continuously driven turntable become.
  • the vessels e.g. Plastic beverage bottles (PET)
  • PET Plastic beverage bottles
  • the method and the device suitable for this are particularly advantageous in beverage filling lines for Reusable bottles, especially plastic bottles (PET), with a neck collar can be used below the mouth. Because of the Neck collar is good handling of the bottles during the removal of the equipment material possible.
  • PET plastic bottles
  • the fluid jets can be compressed air and / or Pressurized water can be generated.
  • water or another suitable liquid can be a closed Cycle generated by the washed away Equipment and the liquid below the Bottles collected, the equipment separated and fed, for example, to a press for compression and the liquid collected in a container by a Pump fed to the jet nozzles for reuse becomes. If necessary, a cleaning of the Liquid through filtration or other measures performed. You can also use the liquid Cleaning substances to be mixed in with the Removal of the equipment material already one Carry out pre-cleaning of the outside of the bottle.
  • the bottles during loading its outside by the fluid jets around its vertical axis be rotated so that even when using stationary arranged jet nozzles substantially approximately the entire circumference of a bottle is acted upon by the fluid. It is advantageous to use several jet nozzles in a row to be arranged along both sides of the bottle movement path, preferably with decreasing height in the direction of transport seen. Furthermore, it can be beneficial to the individual Fluid jets at different angles on the Let the bottle wall hit, preferably the Adjustable jet nozzles.
  • Fig. 1 for Removing equipment has a table top 1, on the continuously rotating drive a turntable 2 with an associated star wheel 7 and an Auslaufsternrad 9 is rotatably mounted.
  • To feed the to Treating bottles 4 is the inlet star wheel 7 Infeed conveyor belt 5 assigned to a feed screw 6, which, like the feed belt 5, the infeed starwheel 7 and the outlet starwheel 9 synchronously with the position Rotary table 2 is driven.
  • Two curved ones are stationary over the outlet star wheel 9
  • Guide rails 40 and 41 arranged together a Form a guide slot for the bottle heads, whose clear width is slightly larger than that Outside diameter of a bottle head.
  • the turntable 2 (Fig. 2) carries with even Pitch a large number of bottle plates 3 on are arranged in a pitch circle.
  • This bottle plate 3 can be rotatably mounted on the bottle table 2, wherein the rotational position by an associated drive 20 (Actuator, curve control or the like.) Can be manipulated.
  • an associated drive 20 Actuator, curve control or the like.
  • FIG. 2 it is at a distance above the turntable 2, one not shown in FIG. 1 Carrying disc 11 arranged in parallel, the same as that Rotary table 2- non-rotatable with a rotating driven Medium shaft 12 is connected.
  • each Centering cone 19 freely rotatable at the lower end of a Guide rod 17 is mounted, which can be raised and lowered on Scope of the support plate 11 is slidably mounted on it is equipped with a cam roller 18 at the upper end.
  • This Cam roller 18 engages in a form-fitting manner by means of a Holding column 16 and a boom 15 held stationary Control curve 13 a.
  • the Knife 31 has one of the lateral surface of the bottle 4 cutting edge pointing radially outwards 24.
  • the arrangement of the Knife 31 is chosen so that the tip of the knife through the compression spring 28 is pressed against the lateral surface, the control cam 26 is designed so that the knife 31 with its tip over the top of the bottle 4 adhesive all-round labels or the shrink sleeve 30 attaches and then moved downwards in the cutting direction S. becomes.
  • the knife tip penetrates during this downward movement between the outer surface of the bottle 4 and the back of the label 30.
  • the label 30 is replaced by the cutting edge 24 directed from its rear to The front is severed.
  • the generated axial dividing line in label 30 is essentially parallel to Vertical axis 23 of the bottle 4.
  • Cam roller 25 and cam 26 can open and Movement of the knife 31 also by any other suitable Actuator, e.g. a controlled one Pneumatic cylinders can be generated.
  • the Fluid jets 80 hit the at an acute angle Shell surface of the free-hanging bottle 4, preferably over the top of the severed label 30 so that at least part of the fluid between the outer wall of the vessel and the Back of the label can penetrate, causing the label 30 is replaced quickly and reliably.
  • Fluid jets 80 pressurized water jets used are preferred.
  • the water flowing down from the outside of the bottle and the labels 30 detached from the bottle 4 become 30 by one arranged under the bottles 4, on his Bottom open collecting funnel 70 collected and on a label discharge device 71 arranged underneath submitted.
  • the label discharge device 71 consists of one guided over two drivable rollers 72 and 73 Sieve belt 74 or the like., Which is permeable to water. Thereby can the water flowing out of the collecting funnel 70 unhindered in a standing under the sieve belt 74, above drain open collection container 76 while the deposited labels 30 laterally into the funnel one Label press 75 are dropped. That in container 76 collected water is taken out by a pump 77 and fed again to the jet nozzles 60.
  • FIG. 1 45 The structure of the chain indicated only schematically in FIG. 1 45 for transferring the bottles 4 from the outlet star wheel 9 to Abier 50 is in detail from the vertical Sectional view in Fig. 4 recognizable.
  • One more time curved, from the deflection sprocket 44 to Drive sprocket 43 (Fig. 1) is extending bracket 91 on several support columns 90 arranged one behind the other attached along one side of the bottle conveyor its top are several in a row Bottle mouth track with cross-bars across the distance 93 arranged for the fixed mounting of the Friction bar 42 and one arranged above it Slide bar 94 serve.
  • This slide bar 94 is the same Opposite height on the carrier 91, a second, in Assigned longitudinally extending slide bar 94.
  • each horizontally aligned crossbar 82 is adjustably attached.
  • clamping pieces 86 in Conveying direction F longitudinal rods 83 (Fig. 5) attached to which the jet nozzles 60 with clamping pieces 87th are attached.
  • the mentioned clamping pieces each have two aligned at right angles to each other offset planes intersecting mounting holes, whereby advantageously both the angle of the jet nozzles 60 to Bottle outer wall as well as the height position of the jet nozzles 60 is infinitely adjustable.
  • the lateral distance between two opposite jet nozzles 60 continuously on the width the bottle can be adjusted appropriately.
  • the setting of the Jet nozzles 60 can be made so that the emerging fluid jets 80 from one another arranged jet nozzles 60 - seen in the transport direction decreasing height and / or at different angles hit the outer wall of the bottle.
  • 5 is in 4 also shows that in the elongated support 91 window-like openings 92 for Passage through the jet nozzles 60 are present.
  • Compressed air is injected from the first pair of jet nozzles 60 at an acute angle obliquely from above to the top of the blown all-round labels blown to one Gap between the label and the outer wall of the bottle bring about.
  • F Jet nozzles 60 becomes water under high pressure issued, which also obliquely from above on the Bottle wall meets and the label from the bottom of the Neck collar detaches from 14 hanging bottle.
  • the detached Label 30 and the water draining from the bottle from the collecting funnel 70 or the one arranged below it Label discharge device 71 supplied and the water in the collection container 76 initiated (Fig. 3).
