Abstract

The conveyor for bottles (1) with collars (2) round their necks (3) has a blower chamber (4) for an air flow to move the articles and a supporting rail (5) which interacts with the collars. The blower chamber is made from a housing and a movable plate (8), with seals (10) for the joints between the two. The housing has side panels (11, 12) reinforced by lengthwise members (14, 15), supporting cross-members (9), and consists of a cover (13) over regularly-spaced arched supports (27). The seals between the cover and plate are formed by the lengthwise members and/or by joints (16) on the panel edges which interact with them. The lengthwise members are made e.g. from aluminium extrusions with smooth and curved outer surfaces to prevent the collection of dust.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de convoyage d'objets tels que, notamment, bouteilles, flacons ou autres. The present invention relates to a device for conveying objects such as, in particular, bottles, flasks or the like.

Toutefois, bien que plus particulièrement prévue pour de telles applications, elle pourra également être destinée, de manière générale, à tout objet présentant une extrémité munie d'une excroissance. However, although more particularly intended for such applications, it may also be intended, in general, for any object having an end provided with a protuberance.

Actuellement, dans le domaine du convoyage, il est connu de transporter des bouteilles par soufflage d'un flux d'air sur une ou plusieurs parties de leur surface et d'assurer ainsi leur déplacement selon une direction donnée. Currently, in the field of conveying, it is known to transport bottles by blowing an air flow over one or more parts of their surface and thus ensuring their movement in a given direction.

D'après un mode de réalisation préférentiel de ce procédé, lesdites bouteilles sont propulsées par un jet d'air agissant au niveau de leur goulot. According to a preferred embodiment of this process, said bottles are propelled by an air jet acting at their neck.

Les dispositifs correspondant comprennent généralement une chambre de soufflage et un rail support. La chambre de soufflage est alimentée par des ventilateurs et permet de comprimer l'air introduit, ce dernier étant ensuite projeté en direction du goulot des bouteilles par l'intermédiaire de fentes, prévues à la surface de ladite chambre de soufflage. The corresponding devices generally include a blowing chamber and a support rail. The blowing chamber is supplied by fans and makes it possible to compress the air introduced, the latter then being projected towards the neck of the bottles by means of slots, provided on the surface of said blowing chamber.

La structure desdites fentes permet d'orienter le flux projeté et d'assurer ainsi le transport des bouteilles selon la direction souhaitée. The structure of said slots makes it possible to orient the projected flow and thus ensure the transport of the bottles in the desired direction.

Le rail support coopère avec une excroissance prévue au niveau du goulot des bouteilles convoyées et participe à leur guidage. II est généralement assujetti à la face inférieure de la chambre de soufflage. The support rail cooperates with a protrusion provided at the neck of the conveyed bottles and participates in their guidance. It is generally subject to the underside of the blowing chamber.

Dans les dispositifs actuellement connus, ladite chambre de soufflage est monobloc et de nombreux organes sont rapportés sur ses différentes faces telles que, par exemple, des armatures de soutien dudit dispositif, des guides latéraux, facilitant le guidage des bouteilles au niveau de leur corps, des joues, protégeant lesdites bouteilles le long de leur trajet, etlou autres. In the currently known devices, said blowing chamber is in one piece and numerous members are attached on its different faces such as, for example, supporting frames of said device, lateral guides, facilitating the guiding of the bottles at their bodies, cheeks, protecting said bottles along their path, and / or others.

L'inconvénient de tels dispositifs est qu'ils présentent de nombreuses difficultés de montage et ne facilitent pas les opérations de maintenance. En effet, pour une intervention à mener sur l'un de leurs organes, ils nécessitent souvent une reprise de l'installation entière etlou entraînent le déréglage des organes voisins. The disadvantage of such devices is that they present numerous mounting difficulties and do not facilitate maintenance operations. Indeed, for an intervention to be carried out on one of their organs, they often require a resumption of the entire installation and / or cause the adjustment of neighboring organs.

A ce sujet, il est à noter que les guides latéraux évoqués plus haut nécessitent le plus souvent une mise en place fine et minutieuse, adaptée à chaque profil de bouteille transportée. In this regard, it should be noted that the lateral guides mentioned above most often require a fine and meticulous positioning, adapted to each profile of the bottle transported.

Ainsi, tout déréglage de ceux-ci peut entraîner de longs retards d'exploitation dans l'attente de la remise en marche de l'installation. Thus, any adjustment of these can cause long operating delays pending the restarting of the installation.

On peut également remarquer que les dispositifs actuellement connus présentent de nombreux points, notamment de visserie, susceptibles, par exemple de permettre des accumulations de salissures. It can also be noted that the devices currently known have numerous points, in particular of screws, which are capable, for example, of allowing accumulation of dirt.

Le but de la présente invention est de pallier les inconvénients précités et de proposer un dispositif de convoyage d'objets de structure modulaire afin de faciliter son installation, son évolution, etlou les interventions de maintenance qu'il doit subir. The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a device for conveying objects of modular structure in order to facilitate its installation, its development, and / or the maintenance interventions which it must undergo.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de convoyage d'objets dont les risques de déréglage soient diminués. Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for conveying objects whose risks of deregulation are reduced.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de convoyage d'objets dans lequel la visserie apparente soit limitée. Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for conveying objects in which the visible hardware is limited.

Un avantage de la présente invention est de faciliter le réglage du guidage latéral des objets transportés. An advantage of the present invention is to facilitate the adjustment of the lateral guidance of the transported objects.

D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre qui n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear during the description which follows which is given only for information and which is not intended to limit it.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de convoyage d'objets tels que, notamment, bouteilles, flacons ou autres, présentant une excroissance au niveau de leur goulot, comprenant une chambre de soufflage, permettant la projection d'un flux d'air apte à entraîner lesdits objets, et un rail support, apte à coopérer avec lesdits objets au niveau de leur excroissance, caractérisé par le fait qu'il est muni d'au moins deux longerons support prévus de part et d'autre dudit dispositif le long de ladite chambre de soufflage et dudit rail.  The present invention relates to a device for conveying objects such as, in particular, bottles, flasks or the like, having a protuberance at their neck, comprising a blowing chamber, allowing the projection of an air flow capable of entraining said objects, and a support rail, able to cooperate with said objects at their protuberance, characterized in that it is provided with at least two support beams provided on either side of said device along said chamber blowing and said rail.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description suivante accompagnée de la figure en annexe qui illustre, selon une section transversale, un exemple de mise en oeuvre du dispositif de convoyage conforme à l'invention. The present invention will be better understood on reading the following description accompanied by the appended figure which illustrates, in a cross section, an example of implementation of the conveying device according to the invention.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de convoyage d'objets tels que, notamment, bouteilles, flacons ou autres. The present invention relates to a device for conveying objects such as, in particular, bottles, flasks or the like.

Toutefois, bien que plus particulièrement prévue pour de telles applications, elle pourra également être destinée, de manière générale, à tout objet muni d'une extrémité présentant une excroissance. However, although more particularly intended for such applications, it may also be intended, in general, for any object provided with an end having a protuberance.

Comme représenté à la figure 1, le dispositif de convoyage conforme à l'invention permet de transporter des objets 1 présentant une excroissance 2, notamment annulaire, au niveau de leur goulot 3, par exemple selon une direction sensiblement orthogonale au plan de la figure. As shown in FIG. 1, the conveying device according to the invention makes it possible to transport objects 1 having a protuberance 2, in particular annular, at their neck 3, for example in a direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of the figure.

Pour cela, de manière connue, ledit dispositif comprend une chambre dé soufflage 4, permettant la projection d'un flux d'air apte à entraîner lesdits objets 1, selon la direction de convoyage souhaitée. II comprend également un rail support 5, coopérant avec lesdits objets 1 au niveau de leur excroissance 2, ledit rail support étant orienté selon ladite direction de convoyage. For this, in known manner, said device comprises a blowing chamber 4, allowing the projection of a flow of air capable of driving said objects 1, according to the desired conveying direction. It also comprises a support rail 5, cooperating with said objects 1 at their protuberance 2, said support rail being oriented in said conveying direction.

Grâce au dispositif conforme à l'invention, lesdits objets 1, dirigés sensiblement verticalement, goulot 3 orienté vers le haut, sont ainsi transférés sous ladite chambre de soufflage 4, par exemple d'une installation de mise en forme à une installation de remplissage. Thanks to the device according to the invention, said objects 1, directed substantially vertically, neck 3 oriented upwards, are thus transferred under said blowing chamber 4, for example from a shaping installation to a filling installation.

Ladite chambre de soufflage 4 présente, notamment, au niveau de sa face inférieure un canal 6 muni de fentes, par exemple, sur ses parois latérales. Lesdites fentes non représentées sur la figure sont aptes à permettre la projection dudit flux d'air en direction du goulot 3 des objets 1, ce dernier circulant dans ledit canal. Said blowing chamber 4 has, in particular, at its lower face a channel 6 provided with slots, for example, on its side walls. Said slots not shown in the figure are capable of allowing the projection of said air flow towards the neck 3 of the objects 1, the latter circulating in said channel.

Ledit rail support 5 est constitué, notamment, de deux rampes supérieures 31, en plastique et'ou en acier inoxydable qui, avec le flux d'air orienté permettent de guider lesdits objets 1 le long de leur trajet.  Said support rail 5 is constituted, in particular, by two upper ramps 31, made of plastic and stainless steel which, with the oriented air flow, allow said objects 1 to be guided along their path.

Selon l'invention, ledit dispositif est muni d'au moins deux longerons support 7, 8, prévus de part et d'autre dudit dispositif le long de ladite chambre de soufflage 4 et dudit rail 5. According to the invention, said device is provided with at least two support beams 7, 8, provided on either side of said device along said blowing chamber 4 and said rail 5.

Lesdits longerons support 7, 8 rendent ainsi le dispositif conforme à l'invention modulaire en permettant d'accueillir indépendamment les uns des autres ses différents éléments. Said support beams 7, 8 thus make the device according to the invention modular by allowing its various elements to be accommodated independently of each other.

Comme représenté, ledit dispositif comprend, par exemple, un tablier 9 auquel est assujetti ledit rail 5 et selon le mode de réalisation illustré, ladite chambre de soufflage 4 et/ou ledit tablier 9 sont assujettis directement ou indirectement auxdits longerons 7, 8. As shown, said device comprises, for example, an apron 9 to which said rail 5 is subject and according to the illustrated embodiment, said blowing chamber 4 and / or said apron 9 are subject directly or indirectly to said longitudinal members 7, 8.

Plus précisément, selon l'exemple particulier illustré, ledit tablier 9 constitue la face inférieure de la chambre de soufflage 4, cette dernière comprenant, en outre, au moins un corps 10. Ledit corps 10 comprend au moins, notamment, deux faces latérales 11,12 et un couvercle 13. More specifically, according to the particular example illustrated, said apron 9 constitutes the underside of the blowing chamber 4, the latter comprising, in addition, at least one body 10. Said body 10 comprises at least, in particular, two lateral faces 11 , 12 and a cover 13.

Lesdits longerons 7, 8 sont aptes, en outre, par exemple, à accueillir des armatures de soutien dudit dispositif, non représentées, des guides latéraux 14, destinés à faciliter le transport desdits objets 1, et/ou des joues 15, destinées à protéger lesdits objets 1 lors de leur trajet. Said beams 7, 8 are further capable, for example, of accommodating support armatures of said device, not shown, lateral guides 14, intended to facilitate the transport of said objects 1, and / or cheeks 15, intended to protect said objects 1 during their journey.

Selon le mode particulier de réalisation illustré, lesdits longerons sont prévus à l'extérieur de ladite chambre de soufflage 4, par exemple au niveau du bord inférieur de ses flancs latéraux 11, 12. Ils présentent, notamment, au moins un premier logement 16, apte à permettre l'introduction de premiers moyens de solidarisation desdits longerons 7, 8 avec ladite chambre de soufflage 4, un second logement 17, apte à permettre l'introduction de seconds moyens de solidarisation desdits longerons 7, 8 et desdites armatures de soutien', un troisième logement 18, apte à permettre l'introduction de troisièmes moyens de solidarisation desdits longerons 7, 8 avec lesdits guides latéraux 14, et/ou différents organes de régulation du flux des objets 1. According to the particular embodiment illustrated, said longitudinal members are provided outside of said blowing chamber 4, for example at the level of the lower edge of its lateral flanks 11, 12. They have, in particular, at least one first housing 16, able to allow the introduction of first means for securing said beams 7, 8 with said blowing chamber 4, a second housing 17, capable of allowing the introduction of second means for securing said beams 7, 8 and said support frames , a third housing 18, capable of allowing the introduction of third means for securing said longitudinal members 7, 8 with said lateral guides 14, and / or different members for regulating the flow of objects 1.

Lesdits premiers, seconds et troisièmes logements 16-18 sont, par exemple, prévus longitudinalement le long desdits longerons, c'est-à-dire tout le long du dispositif de convoyage conforme à l'invention. Said first, second and third housings 16-18 are, for example, provided longitudinally along said longitudinal members, that is to say all along the conveying device according to the invention.

Lesdits premiers, seconds et troisièmes moyens de solidarisation sont constitués, notamment, d'un système vis-écrou, la tête desdites vis étant prévue dans lesdits logements 16-18. Said first, second and third securing means consist, in particular, of a screw-nut system, the head of said screws being provided in said housings 16-18.

Lesdits longerons 7, 8 peuvent également présenter, éventuellement, une rainure 19, apte à permettre l'encastrement desdites joues 15. Said beams 7, 8 may also optionally have a groove 19, capable of allowing the embedding of said cheeks 15.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, lesdits longerons 7, 8, sont constitués d'un profilé en aluminum, éventuellement sensiblement quadrangulaires. According to a particular embodiment, said longitudinal members 7, 8, consist of an aluminum profile, possibly substantially quadrangular.

Ainsi, d'après l'exemple de réalisation illustré, le premier logement 16 est prévu sur leur face latérale en vis-à-vis de la chambre de soufflage 4, le second logement 17 est prévu sur leur autre face latérale et ledit troisième logement 18 ainsi que ladite rainure 19 sont prévus sur leur face inférieure. Thus, according to the illustrated embodiment, the first housing 16 is provided on their side face facing the blowing chamber 4, the second housing 17 is provided on their other side face and said third housing 18 and said groove 19 are provided on their underside.

De plus, lesdits longerons 7, 8 présentent une face supérieure, éventuellement lisse et incurvée vers l'extérieur et vers le bas de manière à éviter l'accumulation de salissures à ce niveau. In addition, said beams 7, 8 have an upper face, possibly smooth and curved outward and downward so as to avoid the accumulation of dirt at this level.

Cela étant, selon le mode particulier de réalisation représenté, le dispositif conforme à l'invention comprend, comme évoqué plus haut, des guides latéraux 14. Ces derniers sont constitués, notamment, au moins d'une rampe de guidage 20, prévue le long dudit dispositif en vis-à-vis du corps desdits objets 1 et de tiges support 21 de ladite rampe 20. Lesdites tiges support 21 sont prévues, par exemple, régulièrement espacées et sont assujetties dans les longerons 7, 8, au niveau dudit troisième logement 18. However, according to the particular embodiment shown, the device according to the invention comprises, as mentioned above, lateral guides 14. These latter consist, in particular, of at least one guide ramp 20, provided along of said device facing the body of said objects 1 and of support rods 21 of said ramp 20. Said support rods 21 are provided, for example, regularly spaced apart and are secured in the longitudinal members 7, 8, at the level of said third housing 18.

Afin de pouvoir assurer de manière facilitée le réglage de la position transversale, selon la flèche repérée 24, de la rampe de guidage 20 par rapport auxdits objets 1 et de déterminer ainsi le jeu résiduel en fonction de la section horizontale de ces derniers, lesdites tiges 21 et ladite rampe 20 coopèrent entre elles au moins par articulation en rotation. In order to be able to easily adjust the transverse position, along the arrow marked 24, of the guide ramp 20 relative to said objects 1 and thus to determine the residual clearance as a function of the horizontal section of the latter, said rods 21 and said ramp 20 cooperate with each other at least by articulation in rotation.

Plus précisément, lesdites tiges support 21 sont, par exemple, mobiles en rotation autour d'axes 22 sensiblement verticaux et ladite rampe de guidage 20 est libre en rotation par rapport à des axes 23, également sensiblement verticaux, excentrés par rapport auxdits axes 22 de rotation des tiges 21 et solidaires desdites tiges 21. More specifically, said support rods 21 are, for example, movable in rotation about substantially vertical axes 22 and said guide ramp 20 is free in rotation relative to axes 23, also substantially vertical, eccentric with respect to said axes 22 of rotation of the rods 21 and integral with said rods 21.

Selon le décalage angulaire choisi, I'extrémité distale de la rampe de guidage 20 est ainsi plus ou moins éloignée de la trajectoire desdits objets 1 tandis que ses tiges support 21 et/ou la partie de cesdites tiges support 21 se trouvant le long dudit axe de rotation 22 restent dans la même position. Depending on the angular offset chosen, the distal end of the guide ramp 20 is thus more or less distant from the trajectory of said objects 1 while its support rods 21 and / or the part of these said support rods 21 lying along said axis of rotation 22 remain in the same position.

Une telle articulation permet de simplifier le réglage desdits guides latéraux 14, notamment en cas de présence de joues 15. Such an articulation makes it possible to simplify the adjustment of said lateral guides 14, in particular in the presence of cheeks 15.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, lesdites tiges support 21 se présentent, par exemple, sous la forme d'un U, l'une des branches dudit U se trouvant le long dudit axe de rotation 22 et l'autre permettant d'assurer le positionnement vertical de ladite rampe de guidage 20, libre en rotation autour de ladite autre branche, notamment lors des réglages. According to the illustrated embodiment, said support rods 21 are, for example, in the form of a U, one of the branches of said U being along said axis of rotation 22 and the other making it possible to ensure the vertical positioning of said guide ramp 20, free to rotate around said other branch, in particular during adjustments.

Par ailleurs, selon le mode particulier de réalisation illustré, ledit tablier 9 est aisément amovible afin de faciliter, par exemple, I'accès à l'intérieur de la chambre de soufflage 4. Furthermore, according to the particular embodiment illustrated, said apron 9 is easily removable in order to facilitate, for example, access to the interior of the blowing chamber 4.

Pour cela, il est dissocié dudit corps 10 et assujetti par vissage, par exemple, à des traverses support 26, elles-mêmes solidaires à chacune de leur extrémité auxdits longerons 7, 8, au niveau desdits premiers logements 16. For this, it is dissociated from said body 10 and subjected by screwing, for example, to support crosspieces 26, themselves secured at each of their ends to said longitudinal members 7, 8, at the level of said first housings 16.

Les flancs latéraux 11, 12 dudit corps 10 sont ainsi pris en sandwich, notamment, entre lesdits longerons 7, 8 et ladite traverse 26, prévus solidaires entre eux, le long desdits longerons 7, 8.The lateral flanks 11, 12 of said body 10 are thus sandwiched, in particular, between said beams 7, 8 and said cross member 26, provided integral with each other, along said beams 7, 8.

De plus, afin d'améliorer l'étanchéité de la chambre de soufflage 4, lesdits longerons 7, 8 sont munis d'au moins une gorge 28, apte à coopérer avec des joints 29, prévus le long dudit tablier 9. In addition, in order to improve the sealing of the blowing chamber 4, said longitudinal members 7, 8 are provided with at least one groove 28, able to cooperate with seals 29, provided along said apron 9.

La ou lesdites gorges 28 sont définis, par exemple, au niveau de la face latérale intérieure desdits longerons 7, 8. The said groove or grooves 28 are defined, for example, at the level of the inner lateral face of said longitudinal members 7, 8.

On peut également remarquer que, selon le mode particulier de réalisation représenté, le dispositif conforme à l'invention est muni, en outre, de points secondaires d'accrochage 30 destinés à coopérer, éventuellement, avec son armature de soutien, lesdits points d'accrochage secondaires 30 étant prévus, par exemple, au niveau du couvercle 13 de la chambre de soufflage 4. It can also be noted that, according to the particular embodiment shown, the device according to the invention is provided, in addition, with secondary attachment points 30 intended to cooperate, possibly, with its support frame, said points of secondary attachment 30 being provided, for example, at the level of the cover 13 of the blowing chamber 4.

Ladite armature de soutien est reliée, par exemple, au plafond et/ou au sol du local dans lequel ledit dispositif est installé. Said support frame is connected, for example, to the ceiling and / or the floor of the room in which said device is installed.

Naturellement, d'autres modes de mise en oeuvre, à la portée de l'homme de l'art, auraient pu être envisagés sans pour autant sortir du cadre de la présente invention.  Naturally, other modes of implementation, within the reach of those skilled in the art, could have been envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention.
