Embodiment Construction

[0015] With particular reference to the above-mentioned figures, the reference number 1 designates as a whole a conveyor device of the rotary type, suitable for collecting, conveying and releasing containers 2, such as empty plastic bottles.

[0016] The device comprises a supporting structure or platform 9, i.e. a flat circular element, which can be rotated due to the thrust of a known type of driving means (not shown in the figure); , the axis of rotation is defined by the central axis of rotation indicated at 10 .

[0017] The platform 9 thus has an upper surface and a lower surface; the upper surface of the disc 9 supports the cart or device 3 for holding the containers. As explained below, the cart is adapted to hold the container by suction during a defined angular rotation of the platform.

[0018] Below the platform 9 a box 4 is placed (contacted) to be used as a suction box.

[0019] The disc 9 is rotated while the underlying tank 4 remains fixed in place and provid...

Abstract

A rotary conveyor apparatus, for collecting, transferring and releasing containers, includes: a platform (9) rotating according to a rotation axis (AA); trolleys (3), supported by the platform, and slidable in a corresponding slit extending from the periphery (9B) to the center of rotation through an internal conduit (6), within the trolleys a certain degree of suction is created for a determined rotation angle of the platform through a suction box (4), arranged at the lower part and in contact with the platform, including a suction opening (7) extending along an angular section thereof. The trolleys are movable relative to the rotation of the platform, and are moved from the periphery to the center of rotation and vice versa during a complete rotation of the platform. The movement action is directed by a first guide closed loop-like on the box and a second radial guide integral with the platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of packaging and bottling. In particular, the present application relates to a device comprising a turntable carrying on its upper part gripping means adapted to hold plastic bottles or more generally plastic containers by means of a suction system. In other words, this device allows the container to be engaged with a production line or machine upstream by means of a reduced-pressure suction system, and subsequently released after its angular rotation on another line or machine downstream of the device itself. Background technique [0002] Said apparatus is of the class of rotary star conveyors and generally comprises a plurality of fixed elements or cavities arranged on the periphery of at least one rotating disc at equal distances from each other; moreover, each element Connected to a tank, a reduced pressure is generated inside said tank so that, through appropriate passages inside said cavity, the container can b...
