Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (1) zum Behandeln eines Behälters (120) in einer Füllproduktabfüllanlage, umfassend ein Verschließorgan (4) mit einem Verschließelement (40) zum Aufbringen eines Behälterverschlusses auf eine Behältermündung (122) und eine Behandlungskammer (2) mit einer Verschließeraufnahmeöffnung (22) zur Aufnahme des Verschließorgans (4), wobei das Verschließelement (40) des Verschließorgans (4) durch die Verschließeraufnahmeöffnung (22) hindurch auf eine in der Behandlungskammer (2) vorliegende Behältermündung (122) des zu behandelnden Behälters (120) wirken kann,um den Behälterverschluss aufzubringen, wobei das Verschließorgan (4) vollständig aus der Verschließeraufnahmeöffnung (22) herausbewegbar ist, um mit dem Verschließelement (40) einen Behälterverschluss außerhalb der Behandlungskammer (2) zu übernehmen.
Abstract:
Capping head (30) for the application of caps on containers or bottles, including a gripping assembly (10) for a cap (50). The gripping assembly (10) comprises a hollow body (11) longitudinally extending along a vertical axis (A) and internally defines a receiving and retaining seat (12) for the cap (50). The receiving and retaining seat (12) is delimited below by an inlet mouth (13) for the introduction of the cap (50). The capping head further includes a moving assembly (31) for the gripping assembly (10), connected to the gripping assembly (10) for controlling the movement thereof, and an ejector member (16) housed inside the hollow body (11) of the gripping assembly (10) and comprising a movable element (18) free to axially slide within the hollow body (11). The hollow body (11) comprises a closed end wall (17) oriented towards the moving assembly (31) so that the gripping assembly (10) is hermetically separated from the moving assembly (31). The ejector member (16) comprises at least a first magnetic element (20) suitable to magnetically interact with at least a second magnetic element (23) having the same polarity placed outside the gripping assembly (10) and at an axial height greater than the first magnetic element (20), such that a relative axial approach of the second magnetic element (23) towards the first magnetic element (20) causes, by magnetic repulsion, a translation of the ejector member (16) towards the inlet mouth (13) of the gripping assembly (10). An upper chamber (19) with variable volume is located between the ejector member (16) and the closed end wall (17) of the hollow body (11). Said upper chamber (19) is a partially tightly- sealed chamber arranged to dampen the axial sliding of the ejector member (16).
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a capping head for the application of caps on containers or bottles, as well as a capping assembly using at least one such head. The capping head (30) for the application of caps on containers or bottles comprises: a gripping assembly (10) of a cap (50), comprising a hollow body (11) longitudinally extending along a vertical axis (A) and internally defining a receiving and retaining seat (12) for the cap, the receiving and retaining seat (12) being delimited at its lower end by an inlet mouth (13) for the introduction of the cap (50); a moving assembly (31) of the gripping assembly (10), connected to the gripping assembly (10) for controlling the movements thereof and hermetically separated therefrom; and an ejector member (16) housed inside the hollow body (11) of the gripping assembly (10), in such a manner that it is free to axially slide. The capping head is characterised in that the ejector member (16) carries at least one first magnetic element (20) suitable to magnetically interact with at least one second magnetic element (23) having the same polarity placed outside the gripping assembly (10) and at an axial height greater than the first magnetic element (20) such that a relative axial approach of the second magnetic element (23) towards the first magnetic element (20) results in a translation of the ejector member (16) towards the lower inlet mouth (13) of the gripping assembly (10).
