Abstract

According to the inventive filling device for bottles, a paste-mold blowing machine for producing the bottles, a rinsing machine for cleaning the finished blown bottles, and a filling machine for filling the cleaned bottles can be synchronously operated, and the bottles are transferred with equal spacing between the machines by transport elements having positive engagement. This enables a significant reduction in the spatial and cost requirements of the device without resulting in considerable losses in efficiency.

Description

Abfullvorrichtung für Flaschen Filling device for bottles

Beschreibungdescription

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abfullvorrichtung für Flaschen oder dergleichen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a filling device for bottles or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei den bekannten Vorrichtungen dieser Art werden die Flaschen mittels relativ langer Luftforderer ungeordnet und mit gegenseitigem Kontakt von der Blasmaschme zur Spulmaschine (Rmser) transportiert. Man erhofft sich hierdurch eine gewisse Pufferwirkung, so dass zumindest kurzzeitige Störungen m der Spulmaschine oder Fullmaschme kompensiert werden können, ohne dass die Blasmaschme stillgesetzt werden muß. Dies fuhrt zwangsläufig zu einer kosten- und raumintensiven Bauweise der Abfullanlage . Auch hat sich gezeigt, dass auf den einen hohen Energieeinsatz erfordernden Luftforderern selbst wiederum Störungen entstehen, die den Wirkungsgrad der Abfullanlage senken. Außerdem sind die im Bereich der Spülmaschine und der Fullmaschme auftretenden Störungen nicht immer innerhalb der von den Luftforderern zu Verfugung gestellten Pufferzeit zu beheben, so dass trotz dieser aufwendigen Bauweise ein fallweises Stillsetzen der Blasmaschine nicht zu umgehen ist.In the known devices of this type, the bottles are disordered by means of relatively long air conveyors and are transported from the blow to the winding machine (Rmser) with mutual contact. It is hoped that this will have a certain buffer effect, so that at least short-term faults in the winder or full machine can be compensated for without the blow machine having to be stopped. This inevitably leads to a costly and space-intensive construction of the filling system. It has also been shown that the air conveyors, which require a high level of energy, in turn cause malfunctions that reduce the efficiency of the filling system. In addition, they are in the dishwasher and Faults that occur with full machines are not always to be remedied within the buffer time provided by the air feeders, so that despite this complex construction method, the blow molding machine may not be stopped occasionally.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Abfullvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art ohne nennenswerte Einbußen im Wirkungsgrad den Raum- und Kostenbedarf wesentlich zu senken.The invention has for its object to significantly reduce the space and cost requirements in a filling device of the type mentioned without significant loss in efficiency.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemaß durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelost.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Bei einer erf dungsgemaßen Abfullvorrichtung wird bewußt auf einen Pufferforderer zwischen Blasmaschme und Spul- bzw. Fullmaschme verzichtet und es werden die fertig geblasenen Flaschen auf kürzestem Wege absolut schonend und störungsfrei, ohne gegenseitigem Kontakt, durch die formschlussig arbeitenden Transportorgane zwischen der Blasmaschine und der Spulmaschine überfuhrt, die im Normalbetrieb synchron zueinander angetrieben sind. Hierdurch werden die sonst im Bereich der Luftforderer auftretenden Störungen absolut verhindert und es wird der Wirkungsgrad verbessert. Hinzukommt der wegfallende Energiebedarf für die Luftforderer und die enormen Einsparungen an Investitionskosten und Raum für die Abfullanlage.In a filling device according to the invention, there is deliberately omitted a buffer conveyor between blow mist and spool or full sponge and the finished blown bottles are transferred in the shortest possible way, absolutely gently and trouble-free, without mutual contact, through the form-fitting transport elements between the blow molding machine and the winder which are driven synchronously to one another in normal operation. As a result, the disturbances that otherwise occur in the area of air conveyors are absolutely prevented and the efficiency is improved. In addition, there is no longer any need for energy for the air fans and the enormous savings in investment costs and space for the filling system.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteranspruchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Im Nachstehenden wird ein Ausfuhrungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 die schematische Draufsicht auf eine Abfullvorrichtung für Flaschen,An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the drawing. Show it: 1 is a schematic plan view of a filling device for bottles,

Fig. 2 den Schnitt A B nach Fig. 12 shows the section A B of FIG. 1st

Fig. 3 die Draufsicht auf Fig. 2.3 shows the top view of FIG. 2.

Die Abfullvorrichtung nach Fig. 1 bis 3 ist zum Herstellen, Reinigen, Füllen und Verschließen von Einweg-Getrankeflaschen aus PET, im Nachstehenden kurz Flaschen 1, eingerichtet, wobei die Flaschen 1 einen angeformten Halskragen la aufweisen.The filling device according to FIGS. 1 to 3 is designed for the manufacture, cleaning, filling and closing of disposable beverage bottles made of PET, hereinafter referred to as bottles 1, wherein the bottles 1 have an integrally formed neck collar 1a.

Die Abfullvorrichtung umfaßt im wesentlichen eine Streckblasmaschine 2 mit vorgeschalteter Vorformling- Zufuhrung 14, eine Spülmaschine 3 m Form eines Rinsers, sowie eine Füllmaschine 4 mit integrierter Verschließstation 12. Die vorgenannten Maschinen sind als Rundiaufer ausgebildet und werden im normalen Produktionsbetrieb durch eine Antriebseinrichtung in Pfeilrichtung synchron und kontinuierlich angetrieben. Die Antriebseinrichtung umfaßt beispielsweise mehrere Elektromotoren 15, 16, 17, die durch eine nicht gezeigte elektronische Steuereinrichtung auf Gleichlauf gehalten werden.The filling device essentially comprises a stretch blow molding machine 2 with an upstream preform feed 14, a dishwasher 3 m in the form of a rinser, and a filling machine 4 with an integrated closing station 12. The aforementioned machines are designed as rotary machines and are synchronized in normal production operation by a drive device in the direction of the arrow and continuously driven. The drive device comprises, for example, several electric motors 15, 16, 17, which are kept in synchronism by an electronic control device, not shown.

Die Streckblasmaschine 2 weist ein Heizrad 18 zum Erwarmen der durch die Zuführung 14 einzeln überreichten Vorformlinge 19 und ein konzentrisch darunter angeordnetes Blasrad 20 auf, in dem die auf Verarbeitungstemperatur erwärmten Vorformlinge 19 mittels mechanischer Vorstreckung und pneumatischem Aufblasen in ihre endgültige Form verbracht werden. Die fertigen Flaschen 1 werden durch einen Auslaufstern 9 aus der geöffneten Blasform (nicht gezeigt) entnommen. Der Auslaufstern 9 ist mit federnden Greifzangen versehen (nicht gezeigt) , wodurch ein zuverlässiges Entnehmen und Weiterreichen der fertigen Flaschen 1 realisierbar ist. Eine entsprechende Streckblasmaschme ist detailliert m der WO 98/35 815 beschrieben. Darm ist auch gezeigt wie durch eine gesteuerte Relativbewegung der Greifzangen m Umfangsrichtung der Abstand und die Geschwindigkeit der Flaschen verändert werden kann.The stretch blow molding machine 2 has a heating wheel 18 for heating the preforms 19 individually supplied by the feed 14 and a blowing wheel 20 arranged concentrically below, in which the preforms 19 heated to the processing temperature are brought into their final shape by means of mechanical pre-stretching and pneumatic inflation. The finished bottles 1 are removed from the opened blow mold (not shown) by an outlet star 9. The Outlet star 9 is provided with resilient gripping tongs (not shown), whereby the finished bottles 1 can be reliably removed and passed on. A corresponding stretch blow mold is described in detail in WO 98/35 815. Darm is also shown how the distance and the speed of the bottles can be changed by a controlled relative movement of the gripping tongs in the circumferential direction.

Die Spulmaschine 2 weist einen Einlaufstern 10 und einen Rotor 21 auf, der mit um 180 Grad gesteuert verschwenkbaren Flaschengreifern (nicht gezeigt) und diesen zugeordneten, nach oben gerichteten Spritzdusen 22 ausgestattet ist. Die durch den Einlaufstern m aufrechter Normalposition - m der sie die Streckblasmaschme 2 verlassen haben - zugefuhrten Flaschen 1 werden im Bereich des Rotor 21 um 180 Grad hochgeschwenkt, so dass ihre offene Mundung nach unten weist. Anschließend wird durch die ventilgesteuerten Spritzdusen 22 Wasser m die Flaschen 1 eingespritzt, wodurch Fremdkörper und Verunreinigungen zuverlässig entfernt werden. Eine ensprechende Spülmaschine ist m der EP 0 721 808 AI detailliert beschrieben. Je nach dem geforderten Remheits- bzw. Sterilitatsgrad der zu befullenden Flaschen 1 können diese im Bereich der Spülmaschine 3 mit "einem oder mehreren Fluiden, angefangen von reinem Leitungswasser bis hm zu Sterilisationsflussigkeiten, ggf. mit anschließendem Ausblasen durch Sterilluft usw., behandelt werden.The winding machine 2 has an infeed star 10 and a rotor 21 which is equipped with bottle grippers (not shown) which can be pivoted by 180 degrees and which are associated with upwardly directed spray nozzles 22. The bottles 1 fed through the inlet star m upright normal position - m from which they have left the stretch blow mold 2 - are swiveled up in the area of the rotor 21 by 180 degrees, so that their open mouth points downward. The bottles 1 are then injected through the valve-controlled spray nozzles 22 water m, as a result of which foreign bodies and contaminants are reliably removed. A corresponding dishwasher is described in detail in EP 0 721 808 AI. Depending on the required degree of purity or sterility of the bottles 1 to be filled, they can be treated in the area of the dishwasher 3 with " one or more fluids, from pure tap water to um to sterilization liquids, possibly with subsequent blowing out by sterile air, etc.".

Die Fullmaschme 4 weist einen Einlaufstern 5, der gleichzeitig Auslaufstern der Spülmaschine 3 ist, einen Rotor m Form eines Ringkessels 23, einen Zwischenstern 24, eine integrierte Verschließstation 12 mit einem Drehtisch und einen Auslaufstern 25 auf. Durch den als Transferstern dienenden Einlaufstern 5 werden die in der Spülmaschine 3 gereinigten leeren Flaschen 1 auf kürzestem Weg dem Ringkessel 23 zugeführt, der mit mehreren Fullorganen 26 bestuckt ist. Durch diese werden die am Halskragen la gehaltenen Flaschen 1 mittels eines üblichen Fullverfahrens, z.B. nach Spulung und Vorspannung mit C02-Gas, unter Überdruck mit einem C02-haltigen Getränk befullt. Eine entsprechende Fullmaschme ist in der EP 0 893 396 AI detailliert beschrieben. Da wahrend des Transports der frisch geblasenen Flaschen 1 von der Streckblasmaschme 2 über die Spulmaschine 3 zur Fullmaschme 4 ausreichend Zeit für eine Abkühlung und Verfestigung der Flaschen 1 gegeben ist, können diese ohne zusätzliche Maßnahmen, wie z.B. Beaufschlagung mit Außendruck in geschlossenen Kammern, mit jedem beliebigen Fullverfahren, auch mit uberatmospharischem Gegendruck, mit jedem beliebigen Getränk gefüllt werden.The full machine 4 has an inlet star 5, which is also an outlet star of the dishwasher 3, a rotor m in the form of an annular bowl 23, an intermediate star 24, an integrated closing station 12 with a turntable and an outlet star 25. By as a transfer star serving inlet star 5, the empty bottles 1 cleaned in the dishwasher 3 are fed in the shortest possible way to the ring bowl 23, which is equipped with a plurality of full organs 26. The bottles 1 held on the neck collar 1 a are filled with a CO 2 -containing drink under excess pressure by means of a conventional filling process, for example after rinsing and pretensioning with CO 2 gas. A corresponding full mesh is described in detail in EP 0 893 396 AI. Since there is sufficient time for the bottles 1 to cool down and solidify during the transport of the freshly blown bottles 1 from the stretch blow molding machine 2 via the winder 3 to the full machine, they can be used by anyone without additional measures, such as exposure to external pressure in closed chambers any filling process, also with superatmospheric back pressure, can be filled with any drink.

Die befullten Flaschen 1 werden durch den Zwischenstern 24 auf dem kürzesten Weg zur Verschließstation 12 gefuhrt und dort m der üblichen Weise beispielsweise durch einen Schraubverschluss verschlossen. Die gefüllten und verschlossenen Flaschen 1 werden vom Auslaufstern 25 übernommen und an einen Abforderer 27 Form einer Scharnierbandkette übergeben, der die Flaschen 1 zu einer nicht gezeigten Verpackungsanlage transportiert.The filled bottles 1 are led through the intermediate star 24 by the shortest route to the closing station 12 and closed there in the usual way, for example by a screw cap. The filled and closed bottles 1 are taken over by the outlet star 25 and transferred to a conveyor 27 in the form of a hinged belt chain, which transports the bottles 1 to a packaging system, not shown.

Die Verschließstation 12 weist zwei identisch aufgebaute Zufuhraggregate 13a, 13b für die Verschlusskappen auf, von denen jeweils eines im Einsatz ist. Tritt m dem gerade arbeitenden Zufuhraggregat eine Störung auf, die eine weitere Zufuhr von Verschlusskappen unterbricht, so wird dies durch nicht gezeigte Sensoren erfasst und das andere Zufuhraggregat wird automatisch zugeschaltet. Auf diese Weise wird zuverlässig verhindert, dass aufgrund von Störungen in der Verschlusskappenzufuhr ein Stillsetzen der Abfüllanlage einschließlich der Streckblasmaschine 2 erforderlich wird. Eine der Hauptursachen für Stillstandszeiten in Abfullanlagen wird hierdurch zuverlässig eleminiert.The sealing station 12 has two identically constructed feed units 13a, 13b for the sealing caps, one of which is in use. If a malfunction occurs in the feed unit that is currently working that interrupts a further supply of closure caps, this is detected by sensors (not shown) and the other feed unit is automatically switched on. That way reliably prevents a shutdown of the filling system, including the stretch blow molding machine 2, being necessary due to malfunctions in the closure cap supply. This reliably eliminates one of the main causes of downtimes in bottling plants.

Zwischen dem erwähnten Auslaufstern 9 der Streckblasmaschine 2 und dem gleichfalls schon erwähnten Einlaufstern 10 der Spülmaschine 3 erfolgt der Transport der frisch geblasenen Flaschen 1 durch insgesamt drei hintereinander geschaltete, gegensinnig rotierende Transportsterne 6, 7, 8. Hierdurch wird - im Gegensatz zu einem Luftforderer - ein teilungsgerechter, d.h. ein mit definierten Flaschenabstanden ablaufender, sowie formschlussiger und daher störungsfreier Transport der Flaschen 1 ermöglicht, wenn im normalen Abfullbetrieb die Streckblasmaschine 2 und die Spulmaschine 3 exakt synchron angetrieben sind. Hierzu müssen selbstverständlich auch die Transportsterne 6, 7, 8 untereinander und zu den beiden Maschinen exakt synchron laufen. Hierzu können die Transportsterne 6, 7, 8 ganz oder teilweise mit dem Antriebsmotor 15 der Streckblasmaschine 2 oder mit dem Antriebsmotor 16 der Spulmaschine 3 oder mit eigenen Antriebsmotoren in Verbindung stehen. Aufgrund der relativ kurzen Transportstrecke im Bereich der drei Transportsterne 6, 7, 8 ist die Gefahr des Eindringens von Keimen aus der Umgebungsluft relativ gering. Andererseits wird in Verbindung mit dem Auslaufstern 9 und dem Auslaufstern 10 ausreichend Zeit für ein Abkühlen und Verfestigen der Flaschen 1 geschaffen, so dass diese wahrend der Behandlung in der Spulmaschine 3 nicht beschädigt werden können. Wenn der Geschwindigkeitsabbau der Flaschen 1 im Auslaufstern 9 der Streckblasmaschme 2 nicht ausreicht, so können auch die Transportsterne 6, 7, 8 ganz oder teilweise mit in Umfangsrichtung gesteuert bewegbaren Taschen oder Greifzangen ausgestattet werden, um den relativ großen Abstand der Flaschen 1 im Blasrad 20 auf den relativ kleinen Abstand der Flaschen 1 in der Spülmaschine 3 zu reduzieren. Auch ist es möglich, die Transportsterne 6, 7, 8 durch andere formschlussig arbeitende Taschenforderer wie z.B. Forderschnecken zu ersetzen.Between the outlet star 9 of the stretch blow molding machine 2 and the inlet star 10 of the dishwasher 3, which has also already been mentioned, the freshly blown bottles 1 are transported by a total of three serially rotating, rotating transport stars 6, 7, 8. This means - in contrast to an air conveyor - A divisionally correct, ie a running with defined bottle spacing, as well as a form-fitting and therefore trouble-free transport of the bottles 1 is made possible when the stretch blow molding machine 2 and the winding machine 3 are driven exactly synchronously in normal filling operation. To do this, the transport stars 6, 7, 8 must of course run exactly in sync with one another and with the two machines. For this purpose, the transport stars 6, 7, 8 can be connected in whole or in part to the drive motor 15 of the stretch blow molding machine 2 or to the drive motor 16 of the winding machine 3 or to its own drive motors. Due to the relatively short transport route in the area of the three transport stars 6, 7, 8, the risk of germs entering from the ambient air is relatively low. On the other hand, in connection with the outlet star 9 and the outlet star 10, sufficient time is created for the bottles 1 to cool down and solidify, so that they cannot be damaged during the treatment in the dishwasher 3. If the speed reduction of the bottles 1 in the outlet star 9 of the stretch blow mold 2 is not sufficient, the transport stars 6, 7, 8 can also be equipped in whole or in part with pockets or gripping tongs which can be moved in a circumferentially controlled manner, by the relatively large distance between the bottles 1 in the blowing wheel 20 to reduce the relatively small distance between the bottles 1 in the dishwasher 3. It is also possible to replace the transport stars 6, 7, 8 by other form-fitting pocket conveyors, such as Ford screws.

Es sind die drei Transportsterne 6 bis 8 abwechselnd mit gesteuerten bzw. ungesteuerten Greifzangen 28, 29 versehen, die die Flaschen 1 abwechselnd unter bzw. über dem Halskragen la m einer dort vorhandenen Ringnut ergreifen. Diese Situation ist m den Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellt. Um ein Kippen der Flaschen 1 zu vermeiden, werden diese zusatzlich im Rumpfbereich durch stationäre Fuhrungsbogen 30, 31 gefuhrt. In gleicher Weise sind auch die Transportsterne 10, 5, 24 und 25 gestaltet. Statt dessen ist es auch möglich, die Transportsterne lediglich mit halbkreisförmigen Ausnehmungen zu versehen, welche unterhalb des Tragrings la angreifen und m denen die Flaschen 1 durch stationäre Fuhrungsbogen gehalten werden.The three transport stars 6 to 8 are alternately provided with controlled or uncontrolled gripping tongs 28, 29 which grip the bottles 1 alternately under or above the neck collar la m of an annular groove provided there. This situation is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In order to prevent the bottles 1 from tipping over, they are additionally guided in the trunk area by stationary guide bends 30, 31. The transport stars 10, 5, 24 and 25 are designed in the same way. Instead, it is also possible to provide the transport stars only with semicircular recesses which engage below the support ring la and m the bottles 1 are held by stationary guides.

Um bei Bedarf frisch geblasene Flaschen 1 vor der Spülmaschine 3 aus der Abfullanlage aus- bzw. vor der Spulmaschine 3 in die Abfullanlage einschleusen zu können, ist im Bereich der Transportsterne 6, 7, 8 eine Aus- Emleitvorrichtung 11 vorgesehen. Diese umfaßt einen einreihigen Forderer 32, der sich im Übergabebereich zwischen den Transportsternen 9 und 6 und im Ubergabebereich zwischen den Transportsternen 6 und 7 jeweils tangential an den Transportstern 6 anschließt, sowie eine Steuervorrichtung 33 für die steuerbaren Greifzangen 28 des Transportsterns 6, genauer gesagt für deren drehbaren Steuernocken 34.In order to be able to feed freshly blown bottles 1 out of the filling machine in front of the dishwasher 3 or into the filling machine in front of the dishwasher 3, an outward discharge device 11 is provided in the area of the transport stars 6, 7, 8. This comprises a single-row conveyor 32, which is tangential to the transfer area between the transport stars 9 and 6 and the transfer area between the transport stars 6 and 7 Connects transport star 6, and a control device 33 for the controllable grippers 28 of the transport star 6, more precisely for their rotatable control cams 34.

Im Normalbetrieb werden die Greifzangen 28 im Transferbereich zwischen dem Transportstern 9 und dem Transportstern 6 geschlossen und im Transferbereich zwischen dem Transportstern 6 und dem Transportstern 7 wieder geöffnet. Wird die Steuereinrichtung 33 auf Aus- bzw. Emleitbetrieb umgeschaltet, so werden die steuerbaren Greifzangen 28 des Transportsterns 6 durchgehend geöffnet gehalten. Dadurch laufen die vom Transportstern 9 kommenden Flaschen 1 weiter m den Forderer 32 bzw. können von diesem ungehindert durch die geöffneten Greifzangen 29 des Transportsterns 6 m den Transportstern 7 einlaufen. In normal operation, the gripping tongs 28 are closed in the transfer area between the transport star 9 and the transport star 6 and opened again in the transfer area between the transport star 6 and the transport star 7. If the control device 33 is switched over to off or emitting operation, the controllable gripping tongs 28 of the transport star 6 are kept open all the time. As a result, the bottles 1 coming from the transport star 9 continue to run the conveyor 32 m or can enter the transport star 7 unhindered by the open gripping tongs 29 of the transport star 6 m.
