Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a container processing apparatus for processing containers, preferably for filling containers with filling products and / or for sealing containers filled with filling products using container sealing components. Background Technology
[0002] In known container handling systems, containers to be filled are first manufactured using a stretch blow molding process within a stretch blow molding module. They are then filled with the corresponding filling product by a filling machine, and finally sealed by a sealing machine. The respective modules of the container handling system—such as the stretch blow molding module, filling machine, or sealing machine—are typically enclosed in a housing. This housing protects operators from interference from the high-speed moving module components and prevents the filling product from being ejected in the event of container malfunction. Simultaneously, the housing prevents unwanted objects and particles from permeating into the filling product.
[0003] For particularly sensitive products, it is known to arrange modules, especially filling and sealing machines, in so-called isolators, which provide a completely enclosed space from the environment. In this way, it can be ensured that the filled product comes into contact only with the limited environment present within the isolator.
[0004] For example, such isolators can be designed to be essentially hermetically sealed from the environment. The feeding of containers to be filled and the removal of containers after final filling are achieved through appropriate locking devices that ensure that the confined environment is maintained inside the isolator even during operation.
[0005] Aseptic isolators are used in the filling of particularly sensitive products, where a particularly sterile environment or protective gas environment is provided within the isolator. For example, dairy products are preferably filled in such aseptic isolators.
[0006] In addition, the use of isolators is also very important, in order to protect operators and the environment from contact with cleaning media (such as alkali or hot water) when using cleaning media to automatically clean the equipment.
[0007] If the processing module of the container handling equipment is located within such an isolator, direct external observation or monitoring becomes more difficult due to the airtightness of the isolator walls. Operators may also be unable to easily access the interior of the processing chamber or select an ideal observation position within it, for example, making it impossible to adjust the components of the processing module. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Based on the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a container handling device that can more reliably monitor the interior of an isolator.
[0009] The object of the present invention is achieved by a container handling apparatus having the features described in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are derived from the dependent claims, the description, and the drawings.
[0010] Accordingly, a container processing apparatus for processing containers is proposed, preferably for filling containers with filling products and / or for sealing containers filled with filling products using container sealing components, comprising a housing component defining a processing chamber. Furthermore, electrical and / or electronic components are provided for monitoring and / or illuminating the processing modules within the processing chamber.
[0011] Accordingly, the detection or adjustment of the machine components of the processing module can be carried out using electrical and / or electronic components.
[0012] According to the present invention, electrical and / or electronic components are arranged in a component housing that extends through the housing component into the processing chamber and forms a seal for the processing chamber.
[0013] Therefore, it is possible for the electrical and / or electronic components to function within the processing chamber, but in terms of chamber separation, they are actually located outside the processing chamber. In particular, this allows the processing chamber, which forms as an isolator chamber, to remain intact, and isolation to be achieved between the external area where the electrical and / or electronic components are located and the processing chamber.
[0014] The component housing preferably includes a transparent partition that defines a receiving space for receiving electrical and / or electronic components, and the transparent partition extends into the processing chamber to a depth sufficient to create a line-of-sight path between the electrical and / or electronic components and the processing module.
[0015] Thanks to the transparent separator, electrical and / or electronic components can optically interact with the processing chamber (preferably the isolator chamber), even though these components are not actually located within the chamber. These electrical and / or electronic components effectively function from the outside into the processing chamber, yet still form a line-of-sight path, allowing for optical monitoring or illumination of the processing module to be monitored.
[0016] The transparent partition can be designed in the form of a cylinder, cone, truncated cone, or hemispherical dome. This makes access to the processing chamber particularly convenient and allows for a line-of-sight path to the module being monitored.
[0017] In order to withstand the harsh conditions inside the processing chamber and achieve durability, the transparent partition is preferably made of a transparent, alkali-resistant, acid-resistant, and high-temperature-resistant material, and is particularly preferably made of acrylic glass, glass or plexiglass.
[0018] The transparent separator is preferably mounted on the housing component in a sealing manner. Particularly preferably, the transparent separator is elastically held relative to the housing component, and the sealing relative to the housing component is also preferably achieved, in particular, by a first elastic element and / or a second elastic element, between which the flange area of the transparent separator is received.
[0019] The transparent separator can be sealed to the housing components via a hygienic sealing ring, preventing the undercut structure and unrinsable areas from being visible when viewed from the processing chamber. This allows for a particularly hygienic design, which can also be used in cleanrooms or sterile isolators.
[0020] The processing chamber can be an isolator chamber, and the housing component can be the wall of the housing that defines the isolator chamber, preferably a top plate.
[0021] To enable monitoring or illumination of the target processing module within the processing chamber, electrical and / or electronic components include lamps, light sources, cameras, and / or smartphones.
[0022] When the component housing is designed as a pre-assembled component, particularly ideal assembly and maintenance results can be achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Figure 6 The example is shown Figure 5 A schematic side view of the upper part of the capping machine, on which component housings are mounted. Detailed Implementation
[0030] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In this context, identical, similar, or functionally equivalent elements in different drawings will be labeled with the same reference numerals, and to avoid redundancy, repetitive descriptions of these elements will be partially omitted.
[0031] Figure 1 A detailed portion of the container handling apparatus 100 is shown, in which a cross-sectional view of the top plate 110 of the isolator (not further illustrated) is shown schematically. In this case, the top plate 110 encloses the isolator chamber 120 at the top, which is schematically indicated by reference numeral 120. The isolator chamber 120 is also typically isolated from the surrounding environment 300 by other additional walls.
[0032] The top plate 110 has a receiving opening 130 into which the component receiving member 200 is inserted. The component receiving member 200 is provided to receive electrical and / or electronic components, such as lights, cameras, sensors, smartphones, etc., so that the electrical components can be used for optical interaction, particularly for optical monitoring or lighting of the isolator chamber 120.
[0033] For this purpose, the component housing 200 includes a transparent partition 220 that, in the installed state, extends into the isolator chamber 120 and forms a receiving space 222. At least a portion of the electrical and / or electronic components can be received within the receiving space 222.
[0034] exist Figure 1 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the transparent partition 220 is designed in the form of a hemispherical dome and is made of a transparent material, such as plexiglass. The partition 220 may also be made of glass or acrylic glass.
[0035] In this way, the transparent material of the separator 220 allows electrical and / or other components received within the receiving space 222 to optically enter the isolator chamber 120, such as lights, cameras, or smartphones from the environment 300. In other words, for example, a luminaire received within the receiving space 222 can radiate into the isolator chamber 120 through the wall formed by the transparent separator 220.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the transparent partition 220 can be designed in the form of a hemispherical dome. However, other geometries are also feasible. For example, the transparent partition 220 can be designed in the form of a cylinder, cone, truncated cone, or other geometries that can extend into the isolation chamber 120 and into the isolator chamber 120, while also receiving corresponding electrical components in the receiving space 222 on the side of the partition 220 opposite to the isolator chamber 120.
[0037] Figure 1 This is a perspective sectional view of component housing 200, and Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional diagram viewed directly from the side.
[0038] exist Figure 2 In the schematic diagram, the shape of the transparent separator 220 is once again clearly shown. At least in Figure 2 In the lower part of the middle section, the design of the separator 220 is basically a hemispherical dome.
[0039] The top plate 110 forms a capping plane at its lower side 112, which encloses the top of the isolator chamber 120. A transparent partition 220 extends beyond the capping plane defined by the lower side 112 of the top plate 110. Therefore, a portion of the receiving space 222 is located inside the isolator chamber 120, but is simultaneously completely isolated from the isolator chamber 120 in a hygienic manner by the transparent partition 220.
[0040] In other words, the transparent separator 220 can virtually introduce the environment 300, which is defined as being outside the isolator chamber 120, into the isolator chamber 120 in such a way that the electrical components arranged in the environment 300 can still establish an optical path with the isolator chamber 120.
[0041] Because the transparent partition 220 extends into the isolator chamber 120, electrical components can be introduced to monitor the isolator chamber 120, particularly modules of the container handling equipment 100 housed therein, such as sealing machines, filling machines, or stretch blow molding equipment. Simultaneously, the volume of the isolator chamber 120 remains intact, and the sealed separation from the environment 300 is maintained, thus enabling aseptic design.
[0042] The component housing 200, particularly its transparent separator 220, extends into the isolator chamber 120 to be monitored, but is isolated from the environment 300. This design allows a direct optical connection to be established between the electrical components received within the receiving space 222 of the separator 220 of the component housing 200 and the module to be monitored received within the isolator chamber 120. In other words, a direct line-of-sight path can be established between the receiving space 222 and the module to be monitored.
[0043] Therefore, the geometric design of the separator 220 depends both on the installation position of the module of the container handling equipment 100 to be monitored within the isolator chamber 120 and on the physical size range of the electrical components to be received within the receiving space 222. The larger the electrical components to be received within the receiving space 222 extending into the isolator chamber 120, the larger the size of the transparent separator 220 must be.
[0044] Its dimensions also depend on factors within the isolator chamber 120, namely the arrangement of the corresponding module to be monitored in the container handling equipment 100 relative to the component housing 200. For example, if the module to be monitored is positioned directly below the component housing 200, such that an optical connection can be established between the component housing 200 and the module to be monitored within the isolator chamber 120, and this optical connection extends approximately perpendicular to the plane formed by the lower side 112 of the top plate 110, then the requirement for the separator 220 to extend into the isolator chamber 120 will be lower.
[0045] However, if the module to be monitored is located approximately in or on the plane formed by the lower side 112 of the top plate 110, the transparent separator 220 must extend a considerable distance into the isolator chamber 120 in order to establish an optical connection between the module to be monitored in the container handling equipment 100 and the electrical components received in the receiving space 222.
[0046] However, the transparent separator 220 always extends into the space to be monitored; that is, in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, it extends into the isolator chamber 120. In this case, the isolator chamber 120 is defined by the housing wall that defines the isolator chamber 120, for example by... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top plate 110 shown is defined. These corresponding outer boundaries of the isolator chamber 120 are defined by corresponding housing components that each form a plane.
[0047] The fact that the transparent partition 220 extends into the isolator chamber 120 means that the transparent partition 220 extends beyond the plane defined by the isolator housing components into the space to be monitored in the container handling equipment 100.
[0048] In addition to defining structure 220, component 200 also includes other components, which will be discussed below.
[0049] The component receiver 200 includes a mounting body 230 that inserts into a receiving opening 130 on the top plate 110. The mounting body 230 receives a first elastic element 232 that contacts a flange region 224 of the separator 220. The first elastic element 232 is designed as an elastic ring and is positioned within an annular receiving portion of the mounting body 230. A second elastic element 234 is received above the flange region 224 such that the flange region 224 of the transparent separator 220 contacts the first elastic element 232 on its lower side and the second elastic element 234 on its upper side.
[0050] The elastic elements 232 and 234 are preferably made of silicone foam to have the corresponding temperature resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance and durability.
[0051] The first elastic element 232 and / or the second elastic element 234 may also be designed as seals, particularly sealing rings, to seal the flange region 224 of the transparent separator 220.
[0052] The retaining ring 240 can press and fix the first elastic element 232, the second elastic element 234, and the flange region 224 of the transparent separator 220 between them relative to the mounting body 230. Accordingly, the separator 220 can be held between the mounting body 230 and the retaining ring 240 in an airtight seal.
[0053] The hygienic seal of the transparent partition 220 relative to the top plate 110 is achieved by an additional hygienic sealing ring 270, which is pressed between the mounting body 230 and the receiving flange 132 of the top plate 110.
[0054] Pressing the elastic elements 232 and 234 also allows for pressing the sanitary sealing ring 270.
[0055] The sanitary sealing ring 270 prevents undercut and unwashable areas from forming during the connection of the component housing 200 to the top plate 110. The sanitary sealing ring 270 enables a smooth, undercut-free seal of the transparent separator 220 relative to the isolator chamber 120, while also enabling a similarly smooth, undercut-free connection with the top plate 110 (especially in the area of the receiving flange 132 of the receiving opening 130).
[0056] In this way, the component housing 200 can be designed with particular hygiene, making it suitable for use in applications with high hygiene requirements, such as aseptic isolators in container handling equipment 100.
[0057] The sanitary sealing ring 270 is preferably a silicone disc with a groove that allows for the sealed containment of the transparent separator 220.
[0058] In other words, from the perspective of the isolator chamber 120, the receiving opening 130 in the top plate 110 is hygienically sealed again by the combination of the transparent partition 220 and the sanitary sealing ring 270.
[0059] The retaining ring 240 is connected to the mounting body 230. In this example, the retaining ring 240 and the mounting body 230 are connected together by threads.
[0060] Mounting ring 250 is used to screw component housing 200 to top plate 110. Accordingly, it has flange 252 with corresponding bolt receiving portion, which can then be screwed to top plate 110 by bolt 254.
[0061] By screwing the mounting ring 250 to the top plate 110, the component receiving member 200 is pressed toward the receiving flange 132 in the receiving opening 130 of the top plate 110, thereby pressing the sanitary sealing ring 270 between the mounting body 230 and the receiving flange 132.
[0062] The sealing of the mounting ring 250 relative to the upper side 114 of the top plate 110 is achieved by the sealing ring 256, which is disposed between the flange 252 of the mounting ring 250 and the upper side 114 of the top plate 110.
[0063] In addition, a top cover 260 is provided, which defines the receiving space 222 of the transparent partition 220 at the top. However, this does not mean that the receiving space 222 is sealed or hermetically sealed, but is merely a mechanical cover designed to prevent electrical components received within the receiving space 222 from mechanical contact with the environment 300. The top cover 260 may be provided with a ventilation opening 262, which establishes a connection between the receiving space 222 and the environment 300, thereby enabling air exchange.
[0064] Accordingly, the transparent separator 220 is the part where the isolator chamber 120 to be observed is actually separated from the environment 300.
[0065] Because the separator 220 is transparent, especially optically transparent in the visible light range, optical observation of the isolator chamber 120 from the environment 300 is possible. However, this does not compromise the airtight separation of the internal space of the isolator chamber 120.
[0066] Meanwhile, the electrical components received within the containment space 222 are protected from operations performed within the isolator chamber 120, such as cleaning, sterilization, or mechanical operations within the isolator chamber 120.
[0067] In other words, electrical components received by the receiving space 222 of the component housing 200 do not need to be specifically designed to withstand cleaning or sterilization cycles within the container handling equipment 100. Accordingly, electrical components (such as cameras or lamps) received within the receiving space 222 do not require special sealing and design, thus enabling the use of components with superior optical performance and / or saving costs.
[0068] Electrical components can be received on a component holder 400 within the receiving space 222. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the component holder 400 includes an L-shaped bracket 420 integrally formed with a retaining ring 240. The L-shaped bracket 420 extends radially inward relative to the retaining ring 240 into the receiving space 222, and then extends upward.
[0069] The L-shaped bracket 420 includes a plate having an elongated hole 422 within which a pivotable retaining device 430 is disposed. The pivotable retaining device 430 also has an elongated hole 432, such that a retaining bolt 440, which engages both in the elongated hole 432 of the pivotable retaining device 430 and in the elongated hole 422 of the L-shaped bracket 420, can be used to reliably and with high flexibility position electrical components arranged on the retaining device 430.
[0070] Accordingly, the two elongated holes 422 and 432 enable positioning in both the pivoting direction and the height direction. In the rotational direction, the component housing 200 can rotate, allowing the electrical components arranged on the holding device 430 to achieve full-degree-of-freedom alignment. In this way, the electrical components can be aligned within the housing space 222, thereby enabling flexible monitoring of the corresponding modules to be monitored within the isolator chamber 120.
[0071] Figure 3 and Figure 4 It shows Figure 1 and Figure 2 An exemplary design of the component housing 200 is presented, in which an electrical component 500, shown as an example in the form of a lamp or light source, is received, as an example, on a retaining device 430. The lamp is fixed to the retaining device 430, and because the retaining device has multiple degrees of freedom, the electrical component 500 can be positioned and aligned accordingly within the housing space 222, thus reliably achieving illumination of a region within the isolator chamber 120. In particular, complete illumination of a target region within the isolator chamber 120 can be achieved.
[0072] Meanwhile, the electrical component 500 (referring to the lamp in this case) is protected by the isolator chamber 120 from cleaning media and mechanical loads. Therefore, the electrical component 500 can be selected only if it has the required optical characteristics, but without the need for specific seals or specifications that make the electrical component 500 particularly hygienic or resistant to the media used in the isolator chamber 120.
[0073] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The upper side of the housing 600 of the capping machine is schematically shown. The upper side of the housing 600, among other components, also includes a top plate 110, which forms the upper side of the isolator. Figure 5 A schematic 3D diagram is shown accordingly, while Figure 6 A side view is shown. Figure 6 In the side view of the housing 600 shown, it can be seen that the top plate 110 has a lower side 112 and an upper side 114 in sequence, wherein the lower side 112 correspondingly forms the boundary of the isolator chamber 120 (not shown here), which is located below the top plate 110 in the installed state.
[0074] It is provided with multiple component housings 200, wherein, in Figure 6 In the side view, the corresponding transparent partition 220 extending into the isolator chamber 120 can be seen in each component housing 200.
[0075] Because the transparent partition 220 of the component housing 200 extends into the isolator chamber 120, electrical components received in the respective receiving spaces 222 can accordingly form optical contact with the isolator chamber 120. For example, if a camera is installed in one of the component housings 200 and received in the corresponding receiving space 222 of the transparent partition 220, the camera can observe the interior of the isolator chamber 120, thereby enabling monitoring of the modules received in the isolator chamber 120. Furthermore, if a lamp is received in one of the component housings 200, the lamp can also selectively illuminate the isolator chamber 120, especially by focusing the light focal point or cone on a specific module in the isolator chamber 120.
[0076] The material used for the transparent separator 220 is preferably transparent in the visible light range so that an optical camera or lamp can interact with the module inside the isolator chamber 120 in the visible light range.
[0077] However, the material used for the transparent separator 220 can also be transparent in other regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, for example, when a thermal imaging camera is used instead of a camera that operates in the visible light range. Accordingly, the material of the transparent separator 220 must be designed so that the target thermal rays to be received by the thermal imaging camera can penetrate the material of the transparent boundary 220 to reach the corresponding camera.
[0078] The material of the transparent separator 220 is also preferably designed to prevent discoloration and / or turbidity even with frequent contact with corrosive cleaning media used for cleaning and sterilization of the container handling equipment. This material is preferably transparent, alkali-resistant, acid-resistant, and heat-resistant to ensure that the normal operation of the container handling equipment 100 does not negatively affect the optical properties of the component housing 200. For this purpose, acrylic glass, glass, or plexiglass is preferred. However, other materials possessing the aforementioned properties are also suitable.
[0079] Container handling equipment 100 may be, for example, a sealing machine, such as a can sealing machine in a can filling system. In such a sealing machine, monitoring the sealing process and precisely adjusting the various machine components are crucial to achieving a reliable sealing effect.
[0080] Therefore, the component housing 200 is designed to extend into the space to be monitored, in this case into the isolator chamber 120, but to maintain hygienic isolation from the space to be monitored.
[0081] The component housing 200 extends accordingly into the space 120 to be monitored. Therefore, reliable monitoring of the mechanical components of the can sealing machine can be achieved without requiring special protection for the electrical components received in the component housing 200 against corrosive cleaning media.
[0082] The component receiver 200 can be supplied as a pre-assembled component, allowing it to be simply inserted into the receiving opening 130 of the top plate 110, screwed into the top plate 110, and then electrically connected. Accordingly, the component receiver 200 can be easily replaced whether an electrical component fails or needs to be replaced with another. For example, a component receiver 200 with a built-in lamp or light source can be easily replaced with a component receiver 200 with a built-in camera.
[0083] Within the scope of application, without departing from the protection scope of this invention, all individual features shown in the exemplary embodiments may be combined with and / or substituted for each other.
