Embodiment Construction

[0044] figure 1 The device according to the invention is shown in a first embodiment. A carriage 2 rotatable about a geometric axis of rotation D is provided. A plurality of conveying elements 12 a , 12 b are arranged on the carriage, each conveying element being used to convey a container 10 . The individual conveying elements 12a, 12b each have an arm 8a, 8b arranged on the carriage 2, pivotable relative to a single pivot. These individual pivots are here parallel to the axis D of rotation. The individual conveying elements 12a, 12b comprise first drive means 14a, 14b which cause a rotational movement along arrow W relative to the pivot axis. Furthermore, a second drive or second drive means 16a, 16b is provided, with which the container is movable in a linear direction L relative to the respective pivot axis.

[0045] The device 1 allows rotational movement of all containers relative to the axis of rotation D and relative to their respective pivots, as well as linear mo...

Abstract

A device for transporting containers and in particular plastic containers with a main carrier rotatable about a pre-specified main axis, with a multiplicity of transport elements for transporting the plastic containers, wherein each of these transport elements is arranged on an arm and can swivel in relation to the main carrier about a pre-specified geometric pivot axis, and a multiplicity of independently controllable first drives is provided to generate the swivel movements of the transport elements. According to the invention, each transport element is also mobile linear in relation to the pivot axis about which it is pivotable, and a multiplicity of independently controllable second drives is provided to generate the linear movement of the transport elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and a method for conveying containers, in particular beverage containers. Background technique [0002] Such devices are known, for example, in the form of conveyor belts or conveyor stars. Such conveying starwheels usually have a plurality of gripper elements, which can grip containers, for example, beneath their carrier rings and convey these containers from a first handling unit to a further handling unit. However, for specific requirements in the field of beverage production industry, it is necessary to vary the pitch between the individual containers as well as the pitch on the path from one processing plant to another. For this purpose, for example, so-called pitch-change stars are used. DE 102006 023 531 discloses a device for conveying unit goods. Here, a conveying starwheel is provided, the rotatable or rotatable extension with the gripper elements for the containers being in turn mounted on a singl...
