Definitions
- the present invention relates to the head placed in a capping machine, more particularly of the type of those which locate a metallic element on the stopper of a bottle, starting from a cylindrical element which is placed on the neck of the bottle, coating it completely.
- This element thanks to casters, is flattened and deformed to fully adapt to the surface and configuration of the bottle.
- the machines currently existing for this purpose comprise a series of heads, all the same, consisting of an element which supplies the capsule and places it above the neck of the bottle; each head is provided with a series of planetary rollers which rotate, in accordance with the movements of the head around the capsule and on themselves and for this, they are mounted on an axis or rod. All of these rods are supported in the upper zone and present externally a means which puts pressure on all of these elements, forcing them to adapt to the differences in shape and size of the bottle to be capped. (Spanish patent n ° 342.710).
- This external means of inter-relation between the different rods carrying the capsule plating rollers is traditionally formed of a rubber ring or more which unite them and delimit their mobility.
- the main problem posed by this constructive solution is determined by the distensions that the rubber rings withstand when the operating temperature increases, which causes a reduction in the plating pressure as the operating time of the machine passes.
- the speed of rotation of the head to be encapsulated also has an influence because the greater the speed, the greater the centrifugal force and by consequently, the smaller the pressure exerted by the rollers on the capsule to be pressed and stretched.
- the present invention is part of the conventional machine since it retains the traditional system of roller-carrying rods; its main objective consists in replacing the rubber rings by other metallic ones which incorporate a series of pendulums, in front of each rod, which put pressure on it in two points: a lower point constituted by a support zone called “finger "which abuts directly against the rod itself and an upper zone composed of the spring which is interposed between the body of the rod and this balance, which is articulated at an intermediate point, so that it pivots by exerting a more or less pressure on the upper and lower zone, depending on the position of the rod, the speed of the machine and other variables, but which maintains it at any time in tension so that it adapts perfectly to the body to be encapsulated.
- pendulums also have the particularity that their body has been designed so that it is provided with a greater mass in the upper zone than in the lower zone, which is precisely where the spring is interposed between this balance and the baguette; thus, if the speed of rotation of the head is high, it is normal for the centrifugal force to push with more force the set of rods and rollers outwards, but in the same way it also pushes outwards upper part of the pendulum and, consequently, the lower zone of the latter exerts greater pressure on the rod, in the opposite direction to that exerted by the centrifugal force on it, then tending to maintain it in its position and to adapt at any time to the element to be encapsulated, regardless of the speed of rotation of the head.
- this ring is mounted on the head in a sliding way, being able to move voluntarily up and down, to place it at the adequate height, so that it exerts a greater or a smaller influence on the rods so that they can adapt on a larger or smaller scale to certain configurations and diameters of the bottle to be capped.
- This displacement can be predetermined and come to rest in calculated positions, thanks to one or more metal spheres which are pushed towards the outer ring by compression springs and for this this ring has a series of notches at different heights which determine as many immobilization positions. This adjustment operation can be carried out without interrupting the operation of the machine and it suffices to move this ring up or down to the predetermined height.
- Figure 1 shows an elevational view of a head to be encapsulated, as recommended by the present invention.
- Figure 2 shows a figure similar to the previous one according to a plane B-B.
- FIGS 3 and 4 show sections C-C and D-D marked in the previous figures.
- the head to be encapsulated here represented comprises a circular support (1) on which are mounted a series of rods (2) which are articulated at an upper point (3) and which on the side of the lower end show rollers (4), these rods being provided with a tensioning means which tends to keep the rollers (4) stuck at all times to the bottle carrying the capsule (11) which it is claimed to fix.
- a metal capsule (11) is placed on the upper part of the bottle and is held in its position by means of a press (10), the head then rotating at high speed, the set of rollers (4) affecting the cap (11), adapting and plating it until it is perfectly suited to the bottle, regardless of the size and configuration of the latter.
- the balance body (6) has in its upper zone a mass substantially greater than in the lower zone, all this seen from the axis of rotation (7); in this way, when the speed of rotation of the head increases, the centrifugal force tends to separate the upper zone of the pendulum which, consequently, rocks and introduces the finger (8) further towards the center of the head, then pushing the rod (2) and corresponding wheel (4) and thus counteracting the effect of the centrifugal force which, in these elements, tends to separate them from the center.
- Another important characteristic of the present invention is constituted by the means which make it possible to adjust the pressure of all the pendulums because, in this case, it is not necessary to interrupt the operation of the machine and it is not also not necessary to have recourse to the manipulation of the fixing screws or other similar elements since the worker moves up or down by hand the ring (5) carrying the set of rockers which, then , act at a higher or lower point on the rod (2) and therefore approach the lower end of the caster (4) on a larger or smaller scale towards the center of the head.
- This means which is shown in Figure 2, is composed of a series of notches (15) placed at different heights and a metal sphere (13) pushed by a spring (14), this ball acting on one of the cavities (15) so that it thus remains immobilized in this position.
- the centrifugal force which takes place when the head turns and subsequently the ring (5), cooperates in the same direction as the spring (14) and therefore maintains the sphere (13) in the cavity in which it was initially placed, thus making involuntary displacement of the ring (5) impossible when the capping operations are being carried out; obviously, if the head is stopped, a worker can manually move the ring (5) higher or lower and therefore place the ball (13) in front of another notch (15), leaving it in this position while bottles of the pre-established type are capped, since this adjustment will above all allow capping of bottles having a more or less large diameter and / or capsules more or less resistant to flattening and / or having different thicknesses and materials.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne la tête placée dans une machine à capsuler, plus particulièrement du type de celles qui situent un élément métallique sur le bouchon d'une bouteille, partant d'un élément cylindrique qui est mis en place sur le goulot de la bouteille, la revêtant complètement. Cet élément, grâce à des roulettes, est aplati et déformé pour s'adapter totalement à la surface et configuration de la bouteille.The present invention relates to the head placed in a capping machine, more particularly of the type of those which locate a metallic element on the stopper of a bottle, starting from a cylindrical element which is placed on the neck of the bottle, coating it completely. This element, thanks to casters, is flattened and deformed to fully adapt to the surface and configuration of the bottle.
Les machines existant actuellement dans ce but, comportent une série de têtes, toutes pareilles, consistant en un élément qui fournit la capsule et la place au dessus du goulot de la bouteille; chaque tête est pourvue d'une série de roulettes planétaires qui tournent, conformément aux mouvements de la tête autour de la capsule et sur elles-mêmes et pour cela, elles sont montées sur un axe ou baguette. La totalité de ces baguettes prend appui dans la zone supérieure et présente extérieurement un moyen qui fait pression sur l'ensemble de ces éléments, en les obligeant à s'adapter aux différences de forme et de taille de la bouteille devant être capsulée. (Brevet espagnol n° 342.710).The machines currently existing for this purpose, comprise a series of heads, all the same, consisting of an element which supplies the capsule and places it above the neck of the bottle; each head is provided with a series of planetary rollers which rotate, in accordance with the movements of the head around the capsule and on themselves and for this, they are mounted on an axis or rod. All of these rods are supported in the upper zone and present externally a means which puts pressure on all of these elements, forcing them to adapt to the differences in shape and size of the bottle to be capped. (Spanish patent n ° 342.710).
Ce moyen extérieur d'inter-relation entre les différentes baguettes porteuses des roulettes de placage de la capsule, est traditionnellement formé d'un anneau de caoutchouc ou plus qui les unissent et délimitent leur mobilité. Le problème principal que pose cette solution constructive est déterminé par les distensions que supportent les anneaux en caoutchouc quand la température de service augmente, ce qui engendre une diminution de la pression de placage à mesure que passe le temps de fonctionnement de la machine. La vitesse de rotation de la tête à capsuler a aussi une influence car, plus grande est la vitesse, plus grande est la force centrifuge et par conséquent plus petite est la pression qu'exercent les roulettes sur la capsule à plaquer et étirer.This external means of inter-relation between the different rods carrying the capsule plating rollers, is traditionally formed of a rubber ring or more which unite them and delimit their mobility. The main problem posed by this constructive solution is determined by the distensions that the rubber rings withstand when the operating temperature increases, which causes a reduction in the plating pressure as the operating time of the machine passes. The speed of rotation of the head to be encapsulated also has an influence because the greater the speed, the greater the centrifugal force and by consequently, the smaller the pressure exerted by the rollers on the capsule to be pressed and stretched.
Dans la demande de Brevet Européen 0691302, les baguettes ont été remplacées par des bielles qui s'articulent à un point central et incorporent à leurs extrémités les roulettes et qui présentent à leur extrémité opposée un ressort qui fait pression et tend à maintenir la roulette vers l'intérieur. Les axes de basculement de ces bielles et les points d'accouplement des ressorts qui font pression sur eux, sont montés sur deux corps séparés, dont la distance peut être réglée, contrôlant alors ainsi la pression qu'exerce l'ensemble de roulettes sur la capsule respective, le type de bouteille à capsuler pouvant être modifié. Ce réglage affecte tous les balanciers et par conséquent toutes les roulettes et peut être seulement réalisé avec la machine à l'arrêt étant donné qu'il consiste en une vis transversale qui immobilise dans certaines positions le corps supérieur sur lequel s'appuient les ressorts tenseurs.In European patent application 0691302, the rods have been replaced by connecting rods which articulate at a central point and incorporate the rollers at their ends and which have at their opposite end a spring which presses and tends to hold the roller towards the interior. The pivot axes of these connecting rods and the coupling points of the springs which put pressure on them, are mounted on two separate bodies, the distance of which can be adjusted, thus controlling the pressure exerted by the set of rollers on the respective capsule, the type of bottle to be capped can be modified. This adjustment affects all the pendulums and consequently all the casters and can only be carried out with the machine stopped since it consists of a transverse screw which immobilizes in certain positions the upper body on which the tensioning springs are supported. .
La présente invention participe de la machine conventionnelle puisqu'elle conserve le système traditionnel de baguettes porte-roulettes; son objectif principal consiste à remplacer les anneaux en caoutchouc par d'autres métalliques qui incorporent une série de balanciers, en face de chaque baguette, qui font pression sur elle en deux points: un point inférieur constitué par une zone d'appui dénommée "doigt" qui bute directement contre la baguette elle-même et une zone supérieure composée du ressort qui s'est interposé entre la corps même de la baguette et ce balancier, qui est articulé à un point intermédiaire, de sorte qu'il pivote en exerçant une pression plus ou moins grande sur la zone supérieure et inférieure, selon la position de la baguette, de la vitesse de la machine et d'autres variables, mais qui la maintient à tout moment en tension pour qu'elle s'adapte parfaitement au corps à capsuler.The present invention is part of the conventional machine since it retains the traditional system of roller-carrying rods; its main objective consists in replacing the rubber rings by other metallic ones which incorporate a series of pendulums, in front of each rod, which put pressure on it in two points: a lower point constituted by a support zone called "finger "which abuts directly against the rod itself and an upper zone composed of the spring which is interposed between the body of the rod and this balance, which is articulated at an intermediate point, so that it pivots by exerting a more or less pressure on the upper and lower zone, depending on the position of the rod, the speed of the machine and other variables, but which maintains it at any time in tension so that it adapts perfectly to the body to be encapsulated.
Ces balanciers présentent de plus la particularité que leur corps a été conçu de sorte qu'il est pourvu d'une plus grande masse dans la zone supérieure que dans la zone inférieure, qui est justement là où s'interpose le ressort entre ce balancier et la baguette; ainsi, si la vitesse de rotation de la tête est élevée, il est normal que la force centrifuge pousse avec plus de force l'ensemble de baguettes et roulettes vers l'extérieur, mais de la même façon il pousse aussi vers l'extérieur la partie supérieure du balancier et, par conséquent, la zone inférieure de celui-ci exerce une plus grande pression sur la baguette, en direction contraire de celle qu'exerce la force centrifuge sur celle-ci, tendant alors à la maintenir dans sa position et à s'adapter à tout moment à l'élément à capsuler, indépendamment de la vitesse de rotation de la tête.These pendulums also have the particularity that their body has been designed so that it is provided with a greater mass in the upper zone than in the lower zone, which is precisely where the spring is interposed between this balance and the baguette; thus, if the speed of rotation of the head is high, it is normal for the centrifugal force to push with more force the set of rods and rollers outwards, but in the same way it also pushes outwards upper part of the pendulum and, consequently, the lower zone of the latter exerts greater pressure on the rod, in the opposite direction to that exerted by the centrifugal force on it, then tending to maintain it in its position and to adapt at any time to the element to be encapsulated, regardless of the speed of rotation of the head.
D'un autre côté, il faut signaler que cet anneau est monté sur la tête de manière coulissante, pouvant se déplacer volontairement vers le haut et vers le bas, pour le placer à la hauteur adéquate, de sorte qu'il exerce une plus grande ou plus petite influence sur les baguettes pour que celles-ci puissent s'adapter à plus grande ou plus petite échelle à certaines configurations et diamètres de bouteille à capsuler. Ce déplacement peut être prédéterminé et s'immobiliser dans des positions calculées, grâce à une ou plusieurs sphères métalliques qui sont poussées vers l'anneau extérieur par des ressorts de compression et pour cela cet anneau présente une série d'encoches à différentes hauteurs qui déterminent autant de positions d'immobilisation. Cette opération de réglage peut être effectuée sans interrompre le fonctionnement de la machine et il suffit pour cela de déplacer cet anneau vers le haut ou vers le bas jusqu'à la hauteur prédéterminée.On the other hand, it should be noted that this ring is mounted on the head in a sliding way, being able to move voluntarily up and down, to place it at the adequate height, so that it exerts a greater or a smaller influence on the rods so that they can adapt on a larger or smaller scale to certain configurations and diameters of the bottle to be capped. This displacement can be predetermined and come to rest in calculated positions, thanks to one or more metal spheres which are pushed towards the outer ring by compression springs and for this this ring has a series of notches at different heights which determine as many immobilization positions. This adjustment operation can be carried out without interrupting the operation of the machine and it suffices to move this ring up or down to the predetermined height.
L'objet de la présente invention sera mieux compris à l'aide de la description suivante réalisée sur la base d'un exemple pratique de réalisation; cette description est effectuée sur la base des dessins qui accompagnent le présent mémoire descriptif, sur lesquels:The object of the present invention will be better understood with the aid of the following description produced on the basis of a practical example of embodiment; this description is made on the basis of the drawings which accompany this description, in which:
La Figure 1 représente une vue en élévation d'une tête à capsuler, comme le préconise la présente invention.Figure 1 shows an elevational view of a head to be encapsulated, as recommended by the present invention.
La Figure 2 montre une figure similaire à la précédente selon un plan B-B.Figure 2 shows a figure similar to the previous one according to a plane B-B.
Les Figures 3 et 4 montrent les sections C-C et D-D marquées sur les figures précédentes.Figures 3 and 4 show sections C-C and D-D marked in the previous figures.
La tête à capsuler ici représentée comprend un support circulaire (1) sur lequel sont montées une série de baguettes (2) qui sont articulées en un point supérieur (3) et qui du côté de l'extrémité inférieure montrent des roulettes (4), ces baguettes étant pourvues d'un moyen de tension qui tend à maintenir les roulettes (4) collées à tout moment à la bouteille porteuse de la capsule (11) que l'on prétend fixer. Pendant les opérations de capsulage, une capsule métallique (11) est placée sur la partie supérieure de la bouteille et est maintenue dans sa position au moyen d'une presse (10), la tête tournant alors à grande vitesse, l'ensemble de roulettes (4) ayant des incidences sur la capsule (11), l'adaptant et la plaquant jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit parfaitement adaptée à la bouteille, indépendamment de la taille et configuration de celle-ci.The head to be encapsulated here represented comprises a circular support (1) on which are mounted a series of rods (2) which are articulated at an upper point (3) and which on the side of the lower end show rollers (4), these rods being provided with a tensioning means which tends to keep the rollers (4) stuck at all times to the bottle carrying the capsule (11) which it is claimed to fix. During the capping operations, a metal capsule (11) is placed on the upper part of the bottle and is held in its position by means of a press (10), the head then rotating at high speed, the set of rollers (4) affecting the cap (11), adapting and plating it until it is perfectly suited to the bottle, regardless of the size and configuration of the latter.
Pour pouvoir réaliser cette opération de capsulage à grande vitesse, il a été prévu un moyen poussant chacune des baguettes (2) qui tend à maintenir les roulettes (4) vers le centre de la tête, c'est-à-dire, qui aplatit parfaitement la capsule (11). Ce moyen de poussée est composé d'un balancier indépendant (6), monté sur un axe de rotation (7) qui agit sur la baguette (2) en deux points :
- sur un doigt ou point d'appui inférieur (8).
- à travers le ressort (9) qui est introduit dans le corps même du balancier (6) et qui pousse cet élément et la baguette (2) en faisant pression entre les deux, permettant par sa déformation de légers mouvements d'approche et d'éloignement du centre de la baguette (2), nécessaires pour que la roulette (4) s'adapte à la configuration différente que peut présenter la bouteille dans diverses zones.
- on a finger or lower fulcrum (8).
- through the spring (9) which is introduced into the body of the balance (6) and which pushes this element and the rod (2) by pressing between the two, allowing by its deformation slight movements of approach and distance from the center of the strip (2), necessary so that the roller (4) adapts to the different configuration that the bottle may have in various areas.
Selon une importante caractéristique de la présente invention il a été prévu que le corps du balancier (6) présente dans sa zone supérieure une masse sensiblement plus grande que dans la zone inférieure, tout cela vu depuis l'axe de rotation (7); de cette façon, quand la vitesse de rotation de la tête augmente, la force centrifuge tend à séparer la zone supérieure du balancier qui, par conséquent, bascule et introduit davantage le doigt (8) vers le centre de la tête, poussant alors davantage la baguette (2) et roulette (4) correspondante et contrecarrant ainsi l'effet de la force centrifuge qui, dans ces éléments, tend à les séparer du centre.According to an important characteristic of the present invention, provision has been made for the balance body (6) to have in its upper zone a mass substantially greater than in the lower zone, all this seen from the axis of rotation (7); in this way, when the speed of rotation of the head increases, the centrifugal force tends to separate the upper zone of the pendulum which, consequently, rocks and introduces the finger (8) further towards the center of the head, then pushing the rod (2) and corresponding wheel (4) and thus counteracting the effect of the centrifugal force which, in these elements, tends to separate them from the center.
Une autre caractéristique importante de la présente invention est constituée par les moyens qui permettent de régler la pression de l'ensemble des balanciers car, dans ce cas, il n'est pas nécessaire d'interrompre le fonctionnement de la machine et il n'est pas non plus nécessaire d'avoir recours à la manipulation des vis de fixation ou autres éléments similaires puisque l'ouvrier déplace vers le haut ou vers le bas à la main l'anneau (5) porteur de l'ensemble de balanciers qui, alors, agissent à un point plus élevé ou plus bas de la baguette (2) et par conséquent s'approchent de l'extrémité inférieure de la roulette (4) à plus grande ou plus petite échelle vers le centre de la tête. Ce moyen qui est représenté sur la Figure 2, est composé d'une série d'encoches (15) placées à différentes hauteurs et d'une sphère métallique (13) poussée par un ressort (14), cette boule agissant sur l'une des cavités (15) de sorte qu'elle reste ainsi immobilisée dans cette position. La force centrifuge qui a lieu quand la tête tourne et par la suite l'anneau (5), coopère dans le même sens que le ressort (14) et par conséquent, maintient la sphère (13) dans la cavité dans laquelle elle a été placée initialement, rendant ainsi impossible un déplacement involontaire de l'anneau (5) quand les opérations de capsulage sont en train d'être effectuées; de toute évidence, si la tête est arrêtée, un ouvrier peut déplacer manuellement l'anneau (5) plus haut ou plus bas et donc placer la boule (13) en face d'une autre encoche (15), en la laissant dans cette position tandis que des bouteilles du type préétabli sont capsulées, puisque ce réglage permettra surtout le capsulage de bouteilles ayant un diamètre plus ou moins grand et/ou des capsules plus ou moins résistantes à l'aplatissage et/ou ayant différentes épaisseurs et matériaux.Another important characteristic of the present invention is constituted by the means which make it possible to adjust the pressure of all the pendulums because, in this case, it is not necessary to interrupt the operation of the machine and it is not also not necessary to have recourse to the manipulation of the fixing screws or other similar elements since the worker moves up or down by hand the ring (5) carrying the set of rockers which, then , act at a higher or lower point on the rod (2) and therefore approach the lower end of the caster (4) on a larger or smaller scale towards the center of the head. This means which is shown in Figure 2, is composed of a series of notches (15) placed at different heights and a metal sphere (13) pushed by a spring (14), this ball acting on one of the cavities (15) so that it thus remains immobilized in this position. The centrifugal force which takes place when the head turns and subsequently the ring (5), cooperates in the same direction as the spring (14) and therefore maintains the sphere (13) in the cavity in which it was initially placed, thus making involuntary displacement of the ring (5) impossible when the capping operations are being carried out; obviously, if the head is stopped, a worker can manually move the ring (5) higher or lower and therefore place the ball (13) in front of another notch (15), leaving it in this position while bottles of the pre-established type are capped, since this adjustment will above all allow capping of bottles having a more or less large diameter and / or capsules more or less resistant to flattening and / or having different thicknesses and materials.
Nous ne jugeons pas nécessaire de nous étendre davantage dans cette description pour qu'un expert quelconque en la matière comprenne l'étendue de l'invention et les avantages qui en dérivent.We do not consider it necessary to expand further in this description for any expert in the subject to understand the scope of the invention and the advantages derived therefrom.
Les termes utilisés dans la rédaction de ce mémoire, devront être toujours pris dans le sens large et non limitatif.The terms used in the writing of this thesis, should always be taken in a broad and non-limiting sense.
Les matériaux, forme et disposition des éléments seront susceptibles de variation à condition que cela ne suppose aucune altération des caractéristiques essentielles de l'invention qui sont ci-après revendiquées:The materials, shape and arrangement of the elements will be subject to variation provided that this does not imply any alteration of the essential characteristics of the invention which are claimed below:
