Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Befüllen von Bechern, Flaschen und anderen Behältern mit Nahrungs- und Genussmitteln entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist in der
Neben anderen im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 aufgeführten Arbeitsstationen beinhaltet die gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch eine Deckel-Verschließstation, bei der es sich beispielsweise auch um eine Bördelstation für Stülp- oder Schraubdeckel, um eine Deckel-Aufschraubstation oder um eine Deckel-Siegelstation, insbesondere um eine Deckel-Heißsiegelstation, handeln kann.Among other work stations listed in the preamble of claim 1, the generic device also includes a lid Verschließstation, which is, for example, a crimping station for Stülp- or screw, to a lid-Aufschraubstation or a lid-sealing station, in particular a lid -Heißsiegelstation, can act.
Eine derartige Deckel-Verschließstation bildet ein Verschließaggregat, welches entsprechend der Anzahl der Behälteraufnahme-Bahnen mehrere in mindestens einer Reihe angeordnete. jeweils mit einer Behälteraufnahme ausgerichtete Verschließeinheiten enthält. Als Beispiel für derartige Verschließeinheiten mag ein Schließkopf für innenseitig schmelzkleberbeschichtete Deckelfolien von Lebensmittelbehältern entsprechend der
Ausgehend von einer Vorrichtung entsprechend der
Gemeinsam mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 wird diese Aufgabe mit dessen kennzeichnenden Merkmalen dadurch gelöst, dass das Verschließaggregat mittels ihm zugeordneter Führungsmittel an letzteren gehalten oder befestigt und mittels der Führungsmittel im Vorrichtungsgestell positionierbar ist sowie seitlich aus dem Vorrichtungsgestell herausbewegbar und außen am Vorrichtungsgestell in einer Wartungsposition haltbar ist, in welcher die Verschließeinheiten frei zugänglich sind.Together with the features of the preamble of claim 1, this object is achieved with its characterizing features in that the Verschließaggregat held by means of associated guide means on the latter or fixed and positioned by means of the guide means in the device frame and laterally moved out of the device frame and outside of the device frame in a maintenance position is durable, in which the closing units are freely accessible.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung gestattet es im weitesten Sinne, das gesamte Verschließaggregat mittels der ihm zugeordneten Führmittel aus dem Vorrichtungsgestell in eine Position herauszubewegen, in welcher das Verschließaggregat und insbesondere dessen Verschließeinheiten frei zugänglich sind. Die Verschließeinheiten lassen sich demnach behinderungsfrei warten, insbesondere können Verschleißteile unter Vermeidung längerer Betriebsstillstandszeiten wesentlich rascher als bisher ausgewechselt werden.The device according to the invention makes it possible in the broadest sense to move the entire Verschließaggregat means of its associated guide means from the device frame in a position in which the Verschließaggregat and in particular its Verschließeinheiten are freely accessible. The closing units can therefore be waited without hindrance, in particular wearing parts can be replaced much faster than before while avoiding prolonged downtime.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung im Zusammenhang mit Heißsiegelköpfen enthaltenden Verschließaggregaten, die auch als Siegelbrücken bezeichnet werden. Die Siegelköpfe solcher Siegelbrücken sind bislang nur schlecht einer Wartung zugänglich, was sich bei breiteren Becher- oder Flaschenfüllwerken als besonders nachteilig herausstellt. Auch sind bei derartigen Heißsiegelköpfen Verschmutzungen durch Anbrand von Produkten und Siegelplatinenrückständen unvermeidlich, welche bei Bedarf mit einem Werkzeug, insbesondere mit einer Drahtbürste, entfernt werden müssen, wobei Reinigungsrückstände regelmäßig herabfallen und die Tragelemente bzw. Zellenbretter und die Förderketten verschmutzen.Particularly advantageous is the device according to the invention in connection with sealing heads containing Verschließaggregaten, which are also referred to as seal bridges. The sealing heads of such seal bridges are so far poorly accessible for maintenance, which turns out to be particularly disadvantageous for wider cup or Flaschenfüllwerken. Also, in such heat-sealing heads soiling by burning of products and seal board residues are inevitable, which must be removed if necessary with a tool, especially with a wire brush, with cleaning residues fall regularly and pollute the support elements or cell boards and the conveyor chains.
Außerdem beseitigt die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung die bislang vorhandenen Schwierigkeiten bei einem Wechsel des Becher- bzw. Deckelformats, z.B. von 75 mm auf 95 mm Deckeldurchmesser. Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann ein derartiger Formatwechsel leicht durchgeführt werden, da die Siegelköpfe des in seiner Wartungsposition frei zugänglichen Verschließaggregats bequem ausgewechselt werden können.In addition, the device according to the invention eliminates the hitherto existing difficulties in changing the cup or lid format, eg from 75 mm to 95 mm lid diameter. In a device according to the invention such a format change can be easily carried out, since the sealing heads of freely accessible in his maintenance position Verschließaggregats can be replaced.
Die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Führungsmittel können unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. Gleichwohl bevorzugt die Erfindung, wie im folgenden noch beschrieben wird, besondere Führungsmittel.The guide means provided according to the invention can be designed differently. However, the invention, as will be described below, preferred special guide means.
Entsprechend einer Erfindungsvariante ist als Führungsmittel ein Drehgelenk vorgesehen, welches an einer Schmalseite des Verschließaggregats angreift und mittels welchem das Verschließaggregat seitlich aus dem Vorrichtungsgestell herausschwenkbar ist. Eine unproblematische Bauweise ergibt sich in jenem Zusammenhang dann, wenn das Verschließaggregat in einer zur hauptsächlichen Ebene der Tragelemente, z.B. der Zellenbretter oder Zellenleisten, parallelen Ebene aus dem Vorrichtungsgestell herausschwenkbar ist.According to a variant of the invention, a rotary joint is provided as the guide means, which engages on a narrow side of the closing unit and by means of which the closing unit can be pivoted laterally out of the device frame. An unproblematic construction results in that connection when the closing unit is in a position at the principal level of the supporting elements, e.g. the cell boards or cell strips, parallel plane is swung out of the device frame.
Eine andere erfindungsgemäße Art der Ausgestaltung der Führungsmittel besteht darin, dass als Führungsmittel Geradführungsmittel vorgesehen sind, mittels welcher das Verschließaggregat seitlich aus dem Vorrichtungsgestell translatorisch herausbewegbar ist.Another type of embodiment of the guide means according to the invention consists in that straight guide means are provided as guide means, by means of which the locking unit can be moved out laterally out of the device frame in a translatory manner.
Eine einfache Bauweise und Anordnung derartiger Geradführungsmittel ist entsprechend der Erfindung dadurch gegeben, dass das Verschließaggregat in einer zur hauptsächlichen Ebene der Tragelemente parallelen Ebene aus dem Vorrichtungsgestell translatorisch herausbewegbar ist.A simple construction and arrangement of such Geradführungsmittel is given in accordance with the invention in that the Verschließaggregat in a plane parallel to the main level of the support elements level from the device frame is moved out translationally.
Von der Erfindung besonders bevorzugte Geradführungsmittel sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass diese von mindestens einer Teleskopschiene gebildet sind. Solche Teleskopschienen sind deswegen besonders vorteilhaft, weil diese bei entsprechender Auslegung, auch wenn sie gänzlich ausgefahren sind, endseitig relativ stark belastet werden können, was im Zusammenhang mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Verschließaggregat besonders wichtig ist.Straight line guiding means which are particularly preferred by the invention are characterized in that they are formed by at least one telescopic rail. Such telescopic rails are therefore particularly advantageous because they with appropriate design, even if they are fully extended are relatively heavy loads can be end, which is particularly important in connection with a Verschließaggregat invention.
Derartige Kugeln oder Laufräder beinhaltende Teleskopschienen sind an sich bekannt, beispielsweise durch die
Eine andere wesentliche Erfindungsvariante besteht darin, dass das Verschließaggregat an den Führungsmittein auswechselbar gehalten oder auswechselbar befestigt ist. Jene Erfindungsmerkmale machen es möglich, das Verschließaggregat, z.B. bei einem vorerwähnten Wechsel des Deckel- oder Becherformats, insgesamt bequem und rasch auszutauschen.Another essential variant of the invention is that the Verschließaggregat held at the Führungsmittein interchangeable or replaceable. Those features of the invention make it possible to use the capping unit, e.g. at a aforementioned change of the lid or cup format, to replace a total of convenient and fast.
Andere Erfindungsmerkmale bestehen darin, dass die Führungsmittel durch eine Höhenverstellvorrichtung relativ zum Vorrichtungsgestell höhenverstellbar sind. Da das Verschließaggregat durch die Führungsmittel gehalten wird, erfolgt mit einer Höhenverstellung der Führungsmittel zugleich auch eine Höhenverstellung des Verschließaggregats. Eine solche Höhenverstellung kann jedoch unabhängig von einer vertikalen Zustellung der Verschließwerkzeuge, z.B. der Siegelwerkzeuge, sein und insbesondere dazu dienen, das Verschließaggregat möglichst behinderungsfrei in seine äußere Wartungsposition und zurück in seine Einbauposition zu versetzen.Other features of the invention are that the guide means are height-adjustable by a height adjustment relative to the device frame. Since the Verschließaggregat is held by the guide means, carried out with a height adjustment of the guide means at the same time also a height adjustment of the Verschließaggregats. However, such height adjustment may be independent of vertical delivery of the closure tools, e.g. the sealing tools, and in particular serve to offset the Verschließaggregat possible disability in its outer maintenance position and back to its installed position.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist am Vorrichtungsgestell eine obere Deckenplatte befestigt, welche mittels vertikaler Führungssäulen mit einer unteren Konsoleinheit des Vorrichtungsgestells fest verbunden und von der Konsoleinheit höhenversetzt distanziert ist.In a further embodiment of the invention, an upper ceiling plate is fixed to the device frame, which is firmly connected by means of vertical guide columns with a lower console unit of the device frame and offset in height from the console unit.
Die vorerwähnte Höhenverstellung der Führungsmittel geschieht entsprechend anderen Erfindungsmerkmalen derart, dass unterhalb der oberen Deckenplatte ein die Führungsmittel mitsamt dem Verschließaggregat aufnehmendes Traggestell an den Führungssäulen vertikal verschieblich geführt ist, wobei die Höhenverstellvorrichtung an der oberen Deckenplatte gehalten ist und höhenverstellend an dem Traggestell angreift.The aforementioned height adjustment of the guide means is done according to other features of the invention such that below the upper ceiling plate, a guide means including the Verschließaggregat receiving support frame is guided vertically displaceably on the guide columns, wherein the height adjustment device is held on the upper ceiling plate and height-adjusting acts on the support frame.
Eine weitere Ausführungsform entsprechend der Erfindung gestattet eine Höhenverstellung des Traggestells insgesamt und, gesondert von dieser gesamten Höhenverstellung, zusätzlich eine separate Höhenverstellung des Verschließaggregats. Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch bewerkstelligt, dass das Traggestell in ein oberes Traggestell und in ein unteres Traggestell unterteilt ist, wobei das untere Traggestell das Verschließaggregat aufnimmt und wobei unteres und oberes Traggestell relativ zueinander höhenverstellbar sind.A further embodiment according to the invention allows a height adjustment of the support frame in total and, separately from this entire height adjustment, in addition a separate height adjustment of the Verschließaggregats. According to the invention this is accomplished in that the support frame is divided into an upper support frame and a lower support frame, wherein the lower support frame receives the Verschließaggregat and wherein the lower and upper support frame are height-adjustable relative to each other.
Die Höhenverstellung des unteren Traggestells relativ zum oberen Traggestell kann entsprechend der Erfindung dadurch geschehen, dass das obere Traggestell das untere Traggestell mittels einer die relative Höhenverstellung bewirkenden Exzenteranordnung trägt.The height adjustment of the lower support frame relative to the upper support frame can be done according to the invention characterized in that the upper support frame carries the lower support frame by means of a relative height adjustment causing eccentric arrangement.
Zweckmäßig weist dabei das obere Traggestell eine Exzenterwelle mit mindestens einem Exzenter auf, welcher eine Kurbel drehlagert, deren freies Kurbelende am unteren Traggestell angelenkt ist.Suitably, in this case, the upper support frame on an eccentric shaft with at least one eccentric, which rotates a crank, the free end of the crank is hinged to the lower support frame.
Das obere Traggestell weist zweckmäßig einen Motor zum Antrieb der Exzenterwelle auf. Um eine feinfühlige Zustellung der Verschließwerkzeuge, z.B. der Siegelwerkzeuge, zu erreichen, ist der im oberen Traggestell angeordnete Antriebsmotor ein inkremental ansteuerbarer elektrischer Servomotor.The upper support frame expediently has a motor for driving the eccentric shaft. In order to ensure a sensitive delivery of the closing tools, e.g. of the sealing tools to reach, arranged in the upper support frame drive motor is an incrementally controllable electric servo motor.
Weitere Vorteile entsprechend der Erfindung sind zusätzlichen Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantages according to the invention can be found in additional subclaims.

Im Fördergestell 10 bearbeiten demnach die sechszehn Siegelköpfe 13 des Verschließaggregats 11 sechszehn Becher, d.h. sie besorgen die Heißversiegelung der auf den Becherrändern aufliegenden unterseitig schmelzkleberbeschichteten Deckel, z.B. aus Aluminium. Der Vorschub des Fördermittels F in Förderrichtung x erfolgt takt- bzw. schrittweise. Das Untertrum UT dient dem Rücklauf des Fördermittels F.From the above explanation, it is clear that each
Um die aus rostfreiem Stahl bestehenden Zellenbretter 16 relativ dünn ausbilden zu können und um diese gegen Durchbiegung zu sichern, sind senkrecht unter den Siegelköpfen 13 Gleitstützen 18 vorgesehen, deren aus Gleitmetall (Sonderbronze) bestehende Gleitbügel 19 das jeweilige Zellenbrett 16 unterseitig abstützen.In order to make the stainless
Das gesamte Vorrichtungsgestell 10 ist aufstellfest, d.h. auf einem nicht dargestellten Gebäudeboden unverschieblich gehalten.The
Das Vorrichtungsgestell 10 weist eine Konsoleinheit 20 mit zwei durch Traversen 21 miteinander verbundenen Seitenwänden 22 auf. Auf den beiden Seitenwänden 22 sind jeweils zwei vertikal aufragende Führungssäulen 23 gehalten, deren obere Enden mittels Befestigungsstellen 24 in einer sich etwa horizontal erstreckenden oberen Deckenplatte 25 befestigt sind.The
Unterhalb der oberen Deckenplatte 25 ist ein insgesamt mit T bezeichnetes Traggestell angeordnet, welches mittels Führungskloben 26 sowie 27 und 28 entlang den Führungssäulen 23 im Zusammenhang mit einer Höhenverstellvorrichtung, die insgesamt mit H bezeichnet ist, gleitgeführt ist. Die Höhenverstellvorrichtung H ist oben auf der oberen Deckenplatte 25 befestigt und greift höhenverstellend am Traggestell T an.Below the
Die Höhenverstellvorrichtung H weist vier vertikal wirkende Gewindetriebe 29 auf, von denen jeweils eine Gewindemutter-Einheit 30 oben auf der oberen Deckplatte 25 befestigt ist.The height adjustment device H has four vertically acting screw drives 29, each of which a threaded
Währenddessen greifen die im einzelnen nicht dargestellten Gewindespindeln, welche mittels rohrförmiger Verkleidungen 31 umhüllt sind, mit ihren unteren Enden oben am Traggestell T an, und zwar an dessen oberem Traggestell 32, denn das Traggestell T ist zweigeteilt. Es besteht nämlich aus dem vorerwähnten oberen Traggestell 32 und aus einem unteren Traggestell 33, welches auch das Verschließaggregat 11 aufnimmt, das innerhalb des unteren Traggestells 33 in noch näher zu beschreibender Weise mittels einer Teleskopschienenanordnung S geführt und gehalten ist.Meanwhile, the threaded spindles, which are not shown in detail, which are enveloped by
Das obere Traggestell 32 weist zu seiner Vertikalführung die Führungskloben 26 auf, während das untere Traggestell 33 über obere Führungskloben 27 und untere Führungskloben 28 verfügt.The
Das untere Traggestell 33 ist jeweils mit einem umgekehrt U-förmigen Rahmen 34 versehen, welcher einen Rahmensteg 35 und zwei nach unten weisende Rahmenschenkel 36 aufweist, welche die Führungssäulen 23 teilweise umgreifen. Oben am Rahmen 34 sitzen die Führungskloben 27, während sich die Führungskloben 28 unten an den vertikalen Rahmenstegen 35 befinden.The
Unten zwischen jeweils zwei Rahmenschenkeln 36 unterschiedlicher Rahmen 34 erstreckt sich eine Verbindungstraverse 37, welche zugleich den stationären Teil einer Teleskopschienenanordnung S bildet.Down between each two
Ein Elektromotor 50 ist mit der Gewindemutter der in Fig. 7 rechts oben eingezeichneten Gewindemutter-Einheit 30 drehverbunden. Von jener Gewindemutter-Einheit 30 wird eine Synchronisierungswelle 38 angetrieben, welche die Gewindemutter-Einheit 30 oben links gemäß Fig. 7 antreibt. Letztgenannte Gewindemutter-Einheit wiederum ist über einen Riemen- oder Kettentrieb 39 mit der gemäß in Fig. 7 unten links eingetragenen Gewindemutter-Einheit 30 drehverbunden. Die letztgenannte Gewindemutter-Einheit 30 wiederum ist über eine Synchronisierungswelle 40 mit der gemäß Fig. 7 unten rechts eingetragenen Gewindemutter-Einheit 30 bewegungsgekuppelt.An
Auf diese Weise laufen alle Gewindemuttern der aus Fig. 7 ersichtlichen vier Gewindemutter-Einheiten 30 mit derselben Drehzahl um, so dass sich die nicht dargestellten Gewindespindeln der vier Gewindetriebe 29 gleichmäßig auf und ab bewegen können, und zwar mit einem maximalem Verstellhub von etwa 200 mm.In this way, all threaded nuts of the apparent from Fig. 7 four threaded
In den Zeichnungen ist das Traggestell T jeweils in der höchsten Vertikalstellung gezeichnet.In the drawings, the support frame T is drawn in each case in the highest vertical position.
Oberes Traggestell 32 und unteres Traggestell 33 des gesamten Traggestells T sind relativ zueinander höhenverstellbar. Zu diesem Zweck trägt das obere Traggestell 32 das untere Traggestell 33 mittels einer die relative Höhenverstellung bewirkenden Exzenteranordnung E. Im oberen Traggestell 32 ist eine Exzenterwelle 41 gelagert, welche beidendseitig je einen Exzenter 42 trägt. Der Exzenter 42 drehlagert eine Kurbel 43, deren freies Kurbelende 44 mittels eines Drehlagers 45 oben am Rahmensteg 35 des unteren Traggestells 33 angelenkt ist (vgl. Fig. 6).
Die Exzenterwelle 41 ist mittels eines elektrischen Servomotors 46 (vgl. Fig. 7) reversierbar drehangetrieben, so dass ein feinfühliger Zustellhub und ein feinfühliger Lösehub der Siegelwerkzeuge 14 gewährleistet ist, nachdem das gesamte Traggestell T mittels der Höhenverstellvorrichtung H in seine Betriebsstellung nach unten verfahren wurde.The
Der mittels der Exzenteranordnung E bewirkte Zustellhub und der Lösehub betragen jeweils etwa 25 mm. Im übrigen sind die Verschließelemente der Siegelwerkzeuge 14 in nicht dargestellter Weise durch Federelemente, wie z.B. durch luftbeaufschlagte Federelemente, gepuffert, so dass beim Siegelvorgang einstellbedingte Höhentoleranzen ausgeglichen werden können.The effected by means of the eccentric E delivery stroke and the release stroke are each about 25 mm. Incidentally, the closing elements of the
Wie bereits erwähnt, bilden die beiden im Parallelabstand voneinander angeordneten Verbindungstraversen 37 des unteren Traggestells 33 des Traggestells T jeweils den stationären Teil einer mehrteiligen Teleskopschienenanordnung S. Zwei im Parallelabstand voneinander angeordnete innere Teleskopschienen 47 sind beidendseitig jeweils durch eine Traverse 48 miteinander verbunden. An den beiden inneren Teleskopschienen 47 ist das Verschließaggregat 11 in nicht dargestellter Weise leicht herausnehmbar und wieder einsetzbar positioniert und befestigt. Anhand der Fig. 3 und 4 wird deutlich, dass die entlang dem Doppelpfeil z translatorisch hin und her bewegliche innere Teleskopschieneneinheit M Bestandteil des das Verschließaggregat 11 tragenden Führungsmittels S darstellt, mit dessen Hilfe die in den Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigte Wartungsposition einfach und bequem herbeizuführen ist. In dieser Wartungsposition können insbesondere die gegebenenfalls unterseitig verschmutzten Siegelwerkzeuge 14 leicht gereinigt werden, ohne dass das Fördermittel F durch herabfallende Schmutzteile beeinträchtigt wird.As already mentioned, the two mutually parallel spaced connecting
Die beiden Verbindungstraversen 37 sind seitlich außen mit Arretierungseinheiten 49 versehen, welche mit im einzelnen nicht gezeigten innen an der Traverse 48 angeordneten Gegenarretierungselementen kooperieren. Die Arretierungseinheiten 49 ermöglichen eine Arretierung der Teleskopschienenanordnung S in ihrer Betriebsposition, während sich also die innere Teleskopschienen-Einheit M in ihrer Betriebsposition innerhalb des Vorrichtungsgestells 10 befindet. Zweckmäßig ist diese Arretierung während der Betriebsposition nur bei Abschaltung der gesamten Vorrichtung lösbar.The two connecting
