Definitions
- Bottle distribution table at the entry of single file corridors
- the present invention relates to conveyors for bottles, cans or other, and in particular a distribution table.
- This distribution table is interposed between the upstream bottle introduction table on which they are arranged in bulk and the downstream table where the bottles are channeled in single file in single file corridors, in order to take care of them.
- the document EP 1 038 808 proposes a device that makes it possible to divide and distribute bottles arriving in bulk on a conveyor.
- the flow of bottles is channeled on several sections of the conveyor:
- an inlet section which simply comprises lateral guides between which the bottles are in dispersed order, in bulk;
- a final section which includes, in addition to lateral guides, subdivision guides to delimit four lanes end-of-line single file; - An intermediate section which has lateral guides and which is also subdivided by means of a central guide to form two lanes whose width substantially corresponds to twice the diameter of the bottles.
- a flap is disposed upstream of the central guide.
- This pane looks like a "pinball”; it is mobile about a vertical hinge axis disposed at its rear end; in addition, it is movable longitudinally, that is to say it can move back, with the intermediate guide, to decompact the flow when there is a jam and then resume its position.
- the recoil movement of the flap precedes its pivoting to first cause unpacking of the stream of bottles, and then the pivoting allows to direct said bottles to one or other of the single-file corridors.
- a device for detecting an interruption of the flow of bottles is located upstream of the single-file corridors at the intermediate section.
- This detection device is associated with control means of the shutter, which makes it possible to perform the unpacking of the bottles only when necessary.
- flaps may also be arranged upstream of the divider guides of two adjacent single-lined corridors, in their alignment. These shutters complementary are implemented in the same way, that is to say after detection of an interruption of the flow of bottles in the final section.
- the upstream flap disposed at the entrance of the intermediate section, has its own implementation system, and this implementation system is independent of that of any flaps arranged downstream, at the entrance of single-file corridors. In such a system, there is a multiplication of bottle flow detection means and shutter operating mechanisms.
- the shutter or flaps are operated only posteriori, in case of detection of an interruption of the flow of bottles; they can also be actuated untimely as in cases where there is only a simple decrease in the flow with free spaces between the bottles.
- the present invention provides a distribution table that allows a fast and efficient division of a stream of bottles regardless of its width and regardless of the number of lanes to single file to meet.
- This distribution table has the advantage of better controlling the flow of bottles and of harmonizing their distribution in the single-file lanes of end of line; in addition, it works continuously to avoid bottle jams at the entrance of the different corridors, without waiting for a jam.
- This table has the particularity of being compact and can be integrated, as a module, into an existing installation, between the introduction table and the so-called table table hundred percent.
- the distribution table is arranged downstream of a bottle introduction table provided with conveyors and it comprises a continuously advancing conveyor belt, which mat comprises:
- an inlet zone which is equipped, laterally, with guides and, at these guides, detection means in the form of sensors which are sensitive to the presence and especially to the pressure of the bottles against these lateral guides, which sensors are associated with control means for controlling and regulating the flow of bottles arrival, at said input zone, by action on said conveyors of the introduction table,
- the walls of the distribution channels have a length that corresponds to two or three times the diameter of the bottles, for example.
- the upstream and downstream edges of the walls of the distribution channels are equipped with bearings of the roller type, whose diameter is of the order of 10 to 12 mm and these rollers are, for example, distributed over a height. adapted to the size of the bottles.
- the upstream edge of each wall of the single-file corridors comprises, in the same way, roller type bearings identical to those used on the walls of the distribution channels.
- the supporting structure of the walls of the distribution channels is in the form of a frame which is itself carried and guided by appropriate means to perform the continuous circular scanning movement, by means of a motor organ.
- the means which make it possible to print a continuous circular sweeping movement to the supporting structure of the distribution walls consist of two systems of slides secured to the frame, one of which is arranged in the direction advancement of the bottles and the other in a transverse direction, perpendicular to the previous one.
- the continuous circular sweeping movement of the supporting structure of the distribution walls is achieved by means of a motor-geared motor and an eccentric, which eccentric comprises, for example, a crank whose length is adjustable to adapt the amplitude of the sweeping of the partition walls to the size of the bottles, which length is of the order of 10 to 12 mm.
- the invention also relates to the installation which comprises a distribution table as detailed previously and in particular a distribution table which integrates between the upstream table where the introduction of the bottles is made and the downstream table which comprises the corridors single file, said single file corridors extending cantilever on said distribution table.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view, from above, of an installation comprising the conveyor device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a more detailed view of single file lanes and distribution lanes
- FIG. 4 shows, in a more detailed manner, from above, the arrangement of the ends of the walls of the distribution channels and the walls of single-file corridors;
- FIG. 5 shows schematically, seen from above, the supporting structure of the walls of the distribution channels;
- FIG. 6 shows schematically, front view, the supporting structure of the walls of the distribution channels.
- the plant according to the invention operates for glass bottles, plastic bottles, or for metal cans, for example; it is suitable for all types of containers, flasks ... etc.
- the installation shown in FIG. 1 comprises several tables equipped with separate conveyors for moving the bottles (1).
- a table (2) of introduction where arrive the bottles (1); a bottle flow distribution table (3) which corresponds specifically to the invention; a table (4) at which collect and grouping bottles (1), commonly called table (4) one hundred percent and finally a table (5) end of line where batches of bottles ( 1) are supported by appropriate means, such as manipulation head, not shown.
- the table (2) for introducing the bottles (1) is perpendicular to the other tables (3, 4, 5) which follow each other, on the same line.
- This table (2) comprises, in a conventional manner, a corridor which is delimited by guides (6), in which said bottles (1) are moved by means of a conveyor (7) and, before they leave said table ( 2), these same bottles are moved, in a direction opposite to that of their arrival, by means of another conveyor (8) which is placed parallel to said conveyor (7).
- the table (3) for distributing the flow of bottles (1) also has several zones:
- a second zone (10 ') which comprises several corridors (11) of distribution of said bottles (1), which corridors are arranged in lines, transversely to the direction of advance of the bottles on said table (3);
- a third zone (10 ") which comprises the corridors (12) single file, which corridors (12) are in fact an extension, cantilever, corridors of the following table (4).
- the number of distribution lanes (11) is a submultiple of the number of single-file lanes (12); these corridors (11) have a width that is substantially twice that of single file lanes (12).
- corridors (11) are carried by a structure (15) movable which will be detailed later in connection with Figures 5 and 6.
- the inlet (10) of the table (3) comprises lateral guides (16) at which sensor-shaped detection means (17) are arranged. These sensors (17) are intended to detect the presence of bottles (1) on the right bank and on the left bank of said table (3) and, by means of appropriate control means, to act on the operating mode. stopping the conveyors (7) and (8) to balance the arrival of said bottles on said inlet (10).
- these detection means make it possible to manage and spread out the stream of bottles (1) on the inlet (10) of the distribution table (3). This management is also done with the help of the mat (18) of the conveyor table (3) distribution; this belt (18) advances continuously, unlike those of the conveyors (7) and (8) whose movement is dependent on the sensors (17).
- the table (4) hundred percent is a relatively classic table; it is on this table that the bottles are collected in the corridors (12) single file before leaving in batches on the table (5) end of line.
- the end-of-line table (5) is also a conventional table; this table comprises corridors (19) which are arranged in alignment with the corridors (12) of the preceding table (4). At the end of these corridors (19) is the structure (20) which carries the decompression stops.
- the distribution corridors (11) are intended to harmonize the filling of the single-file corridors (12). These corridors (11) are carried by the structure (15) which is movable. This structure (15) is driven by a continuous circular sweeping motion of small amplitude to move the bottles on the carpet (18) of the table (3), which carpet (18) is also advancing continuously.
- FIG. 2 shows in more detail distribution lanes (11) arranged in front of single-file lanes (12) with bottles (1) in various and varied positions.
- the distribution channels (11) are delimited by walls (21) parallel to each other, which are carried by the structure (15). These walls (21) have a length of the order of two to three times the diameter of the bottles (1), for example.
- the single-file corridors (12), in which the bottles (1) are stored, are delimited by walls (22) parallel to each other, which walls (22), as previously indicated, are integral with the table (4) and they advance, cantilevered, on the downstream part of the table (3) distribution, just behind the corridors (11).
- the width of distribution channels (11) is of the order of twice the diameter of the bottles (1).
- the walls (21) of these distribution channels (11) are, when in the middle position, in alignment with the corresponding walls (22) of the single-file corridors (12).
- the upstream and downstream ends of the walls (21) are aligned transversely and they comprise roller bearings (23), as well as the upstream end of the walls (22) of the lanes (12) single file.
- rollers (23) have a diameter of the order of 10 to 12 mm and they are arranged, as shown in Figure 3, on an axis (24). Depending on the shape of the bottles, these rollers (23) can be divided into several groups, between anchors (25) of the axis (24).
- FIG. 4 shows, in a more detailed manner also, the zone of interaction of the distribution lanes (11) with the entry of the lanes (12) with single file.
- the walls (21) of the distribution channels (11) are animated by a continuous circular sweeping movement, from right to left and from front to back, as the movement of a connecting rod which connects two wheels rotating at the same speed .
- the amplitude of this movement is of the order of 10 to 12 mm around a fixed point, like the point P which simulates the center of the circumference which is traversed by the axis (24) of the rollers (23) located at the downstream end of the wall (21).
- the space between the rollers (23) of the downstream end of the walls (21) and the rollers of the upstream end of the walls (22) concerned varies between a maximum value E at a minimum value.
- the average value Em of this space between the rollers (23) is of the order of a quarter of the diameter D of the bottles (1).
- the walls (21) are carried by a structure (15) which is detailed in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- This structure (15) comprises a frame (25) on which are fixed all the walls (21) at their upper part. These walls (21) can be fixed by means of adjustable means to vary at will the width of the lanes (11) distribution, in the case where the lanes (12) single file are also adjustable width so to adapt to different sizes of bottles (1).
- the frame (25) is movable transversely on a second frame (26), which frame (26) is arranged with slides and is itself movable longitudinally on slides (27) which are integral with the frame (30) of the distribution table (3).
- the movement of the frame (25) which carries the walls (21) is realized by means of an eccentric (31), which eccentric (31) animates the arm (32) of said frame (25) in a circular motion, which frame (25) moves transversely on the frame (26) and it drives said frame (26) which moves longitudinally on the slides (27).
- the movement is transmitted to the walls (21) by a drive member (33) of the geared motor type, which is disposed above the structure (15) carrying said walls (21), said structure being integral with the frame (30).
- This movement can also be printed by something other than a simple eccentric (31). It can be printed by a cam, not shown, whose profile can be elliptical or other.
- the eccentric (31) is in the form of a rod (34) of adjustable length; this length is adjustable to change the amplitude of the sweep according to the type of bottles.
- the sweeping takes place above the belt (18) conveyor, in a horizontal plane parallel to said carpet (18).
- This carpet (18) is visible in FIG. 6; it is carried and guided by the frame (30) of the distribution table (3).
- the invention also relates to the installation which comprises this distribution table (3) and in particular this table (3) which is integrated between the table (2) for introducing the bottles and the table (4) whose corridors ( 22) extend cantilever over said distribution table (3).
