Description

FRICTION-CONTROLLED VESSEL TORSION DEVICE Cross-reference to related application This application claims the benefit of priority assigned to International Patent Application PCT / IB2020 / 056897 filed on July 22, 2020 entitled “FRICTION CONTROLLED CONTAINER TWISTING DEVICE”, to European Patent Application EP20020432.9 filed on September 25, 2020 entitled “FRICTION CONTROLLED CONTAINER TWISTING DEVICE”, and to United States Patent Application 16 / 950,520 filed on November 17, 2020 entitled “FRICTION CONTROLLED CONTAINER TWISTING DEVICE”, with the entirety of the three above-identified applications being incorporated into this application. Field of invention The invention relates to a lubricated device for twisting containers, which are used in conveyor systems or conveyor installations. Background of the invention The lubrication of conveyors is already known to ensure the correct flow of containers, such as cans, bottles, etc. Conveyors consist of a moving belt that supports the bottles or containers, transporting them to a specific station. In existing torsion devices, the containers enter the device at the speed of the preceding transfer conveyor. The containers are then rotated or twisted, primarily 90° or 180°, without any additional driving force within the torsion device. Friction in the contact areas between the containers and the device's support or guide surfaces is controlled by spraying a large quantity of water. By using such a large amount of water, it has been possible to prevent blockages during container movement. The large quantity of water is often sprayed at least on the device's entry path, but advantageously, substantially along the entire torsion path of the device. To reduce water consumption, it has been proposed to use a water collector adapted to capture at least part of the enormous volume of water flowing through the twisting device. However, the collected water must be treated before being sprayed again into the containers. Thus, the containers flowing through the existing devices become wet, so the containers coming out of the twisting device must be dried to avoid wetting the next moving belt, for example, intended to transport the bottles to a packaging facility. The enormous amount of water is also a source of many inconveniences, such as pollution, accidents for workers, health problems, container blockage problems, problems with labels or papers stuck on, for containers coming out of the wet twisting operation, related problems for greater adhesion of labels, papers, signs, etc. Mechanical torsion devices are disclosed, for example, in documents US 3797641; CRQnnn / Q7n7 / e / YiAi US 6116401; GB 1296189. Such mechanical torsion devices are subject to wear, especially when vessel flow is high. Wear of the torsion device parts can cause damage to the vessels, which can lead to enormous financial losses. Brief description of the invention The invention relates to a device for twisting containers in a very safe manner, avoiding the use of large quantities of water and keeping the container surfaces dry, thus preventing any possible damage to labels, markings, etc., on the exterior of the containers before twisting. The device of the invention also substantially prevents container blockages in the twisting device, even with a high volume of containers. It has also been observed that with the device of the invention, wear on parts in contact with moving containers can be reduced, thus reducing any damage to the containers and labels or signs present in them, while reducing the possible heating of elements or bent rods. The invention relates to a device (1) for twisting containers (2) while the containers are moving along a path (3) comprising a at least partially curved portion of the path (3A). This portion includes a series of guide elements, each provided with lubricating means adapted to ensure dry lubrication of at least a portion of the guide elements by supplying a fluid lubricant selected from the group consisting of liquid lubricant, gaseous lubricant, and mixtures thereof, at at least two distinct locations on the guide elements. The device of the invention allows for the control of friction of the containers moving along the at least partially curved guide elements, and thus during the twisting of the containers within the device of the invention. The device of the invention is a device (1) for twisting containers (2) while the containers (each having an external orientation system, such as one or more side faces, a top face and a bottom face) are moving along a path of movement (3) comprising a path portion at least partially curved (3A) with a path length at least partially curved between 30 cm and 500 cm to ensure that each container (2) moving through the curved path portion follows at least a curved motion, the containers (2) having at least one external orientation system (20), the path portion at least partially curved (3A) extending between an inlet (4) for containers in the path portion at least partially curved (3A) and an outlet (5) for containers (2) after moving through the path portion at least partially curved (3A).

(The first lubrication medium may have more than two open outlet elements, but in this case, at least the first and any other are separated by more than 10 cm. One or more open outlet elements may be present between the first and any other open outlet element. For example, when a gaseous lubricant, such as dry air, nitrogen, etc., is used, the open outlet elements are located one after the other along a path length of at least 20 cm, for example,with a distance between two successive open outlet elements of 1 cm to 5 cm), and (c) a supply connection system (366) connecting the first open outlet element (321) and the second open outlet element (322) to a connector (327) adapted to be connected to a lubricant supply (100) to supply the first open outlet element (321) and the second open outlet element (322) of the first lubrication means (32) with the fluid lubricant; and, - a second lubrication means (42) adapted to ensure dry lubrication of at least a portion of the second guide element (40) by supplying fluid lubricant along the second guide element (41), such that the second lubrication means (42) has at least (a) a first open outlet element (421) along the second guide element (41) with an open outer surface area of ​​less than 100 mm² (such as less than 75 mm², less than 50 mm², or even less) CRonnn / rznz / E / YiAi of 25 mm2, such as less than 15 mm2, preferably less than 10 mm2 or even more preferably equal to or less than 5 mm2), (b) a second open outlet element (422) along the second guide face element (41) with an open surface of less than 100 mm2 (for example, less than 75 mm2, less than 50 mm2, less than 25 mm2, such as less than 15 mm2, preferably less than 10 mm2 or even more preferably equal to or less than 5 mm2), the second open outlet element (422) of the second lubrication means (42) is located at a distance from the first open outlet element (421) of the second lubrication means (42) by a path distance at least partially curved of at least 10 cm (for example, from 20 cm to 50 cm or even more),and (c) a supply connection system (466) connecting at least the first open outlet element (421) and the second open outlet element (422) of the second lubrication means (42) to a connector (427) adapted to connect to a lubricant supply (100, 110) to supply the first open outlet element (421) and the second open outlet element (422) of the second lubrication means (42) with the fluid lubricant. The fluid lubricant is, for example, a liquid lubricant supplied to the open outlet elements at a very low rate, such as 0.5 mm³ to 500 mm³ per open outlet element (such as 10 mm³ to 300 mm³, advantageously 20 mm³ to 250 mm³, for example, 30 mm³, 50 mm³, 65 mm³, 90 mm³, 100 mm³, 150 mm³, and 200 mm³) of liquid lubricant per hour. The potentially advantageous liquid lubricant is, for example, DLT-333, a food-grade white mineral oil containing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and wax. The liquid lubricant is supplied in successive steps, with periods of no supply. For example, periods of liquid lubricant supply are separated by periods of no liquid lubricant supply. The duration of a liquid lubricant supply period in an open outlet element can be from 1 second to 300 seconds, such as 5 seconds to 200 seconds, advantageously from 10 seconds to 100 seconds, such as 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 40 seconds and 60 seconds.The duration of the periods without liquid lubricant supply between two liquid lubricant supply periods can range from 10 seconds to 600 seconds, or from 30 seconds to 500 seconds. The duration of a supply period and a period without supply can be controlled based on the flow rate of the container. The fluid lubricant can also be a pressurized gaseous lubricant, such as under a pressure of 2 x 10⁵ Pa to 50 x 10⁵ Pa, such as 3 x 10⁵ Pa, 5 x 10⁵ Pa, 10 x 10⁵ Pa, and 20 x 10⁵ Pa. The gas can be air, dry air, filtered air, air enriched with one or more additives, nitrogen, CO₂, etc. The gas temperature can be between -20 °C and +50 °C, but is preferably between 0 °C and +25 °C, and more preferably between +10 °C and +20 °C. The gas velocity in the open outlet element is, for example, between 0.1 m / s and 10 m / s, such as 0.2 m / s, 0.5 m / s, 1.0 m / s, and 2.0 m / s. The gaseous lubricant can be expelled substantially continuously at a rate of 0.01 liters / second to 10 liters / second (volume determined at a temperature of 20 °C and a pressure of 1 x 105Pa), such as 0.05 l / s, 0.1 l / s, 0.5 l / s, 1 l / s, 3 l / s and 5 l / s. The open outlet elements are advantageously located along a portion of the face directed at least partially upwards, preferably only upwards, or at least partially vertical or substantially vertical, to avoid as much as possible the gravity flow of the liquid lubricant from the open outlet elements. CRonnn / rznz / E / YiAi When gaseous lubricant is used, the open outlet elements are advantageously adapted so that at least a portion of the gaseous lubricant can give a boost to the vessels moving through the at least partially curved path 3A. The boost is directed to the vessels in a direction that has at least one component in the direction of their movement, and preferably also in their twisting motion, further facilitating the twisting of the vessels along path 3A.

The lubricant is supplied to the open outlet elements at a very low rate, such as, for example, 50 mm³ to 200 mm³ of lubricant per open outlet element per hour. The lubricant is, for example, DLT-333, a food-grade white mineral oil with PTFE and wax. The liquid lubricant is preferably substantially water-free and has a low viscosity at 20 °C. The liquid lubricant is advantageously supplied in stages; for example, microdoses of lubricant are supplied at specific times, while the supply of liquid lubricant is stopped between successive supply stages. When lubricant is supplied to open outlet elements, these elements are advantageously positioned along a face portion that is at least partially upward, preferably entirely upward, or at least partially vertical or substantially vertical, to minimize gravity flow of the lubricant from the open outlet elements. For example, at lubrication stations 91, 92, and 93, a reduced quantity of lubricant or no lubricant is supplied to the open outlet elements of elongated tubes 401, 402, and 602 to prevent gravity flow. Figure 14 shows an open outlet element (such as 321, 421, 521, 621, etc., for the tube portion 800 of the guide rod 301, 401, 501, 601) extending along a substantially curved face portion 800, thus ensuring a substantially point contact surface with the side face 203 of the can or bottle in Figure 2 or 2A. The open outlet element is associated with the groove system G along the curved face 800. The guide element portion 800 is, for example, a portion of a tube with a wall thickness of approximately 2 mm; the tube 800 has, for example, an outside diameter of 10 mm to 16 mm. The tube is, for example, heat-twisted to provide the required curvature. The groove G is formed with two parts G1, G2 (with rounded ends) formed partly in the thickness of the elongated tube 301, 401, etc. For example, the depth of the groove parts G1, G2 is 0.5 mm to 1 mm (with respect to a tube wall thickness of approximately 2 mm). The grooved portions G1 and G2 form extensions with respect to the central opening connected to the connector 327, 427, etc., intended to be connected to a lubricant supply 100, 110, 120, etc. Each of the grooved portions G1 and G2 is approximately 10 mm long and has an average width of approximately 2 mm, which means an open surface (at the level of the outer face of the tube) for the open outlet element of approximately 40 mm² to 50 mm². The edges of the groove along the curved face of the tube are rounded to prevent the edge of the grooves from damaging the side face of cans or bottles during twisting. The G1 and G2 grooves form a reservoir for the liquid lubricant and are very useful for ensuring lubrication along a curved portion of the tube guide element 301, 302, 401. CRonnn / rznz / E / YiAi etc. As shown in Figure 15, the torsion tube 301, 401, etc., is provided with an orifice 801 to allow the insertion of a connecting tube 802 into the inner chamber of the torsion tube 301, 401, etc., to form a connection with the open outlet element 321, 421, etc., along the curved face portion 800 of the torsion tube. The lubricant supply tube 802 inserted into the torsion tube portion is associated with the sealing means 802S and 802T. The supply tube 802 is connected to the threaded orifice 801 of the torsion tube portion 800 by means of a ring 802R provided with a flange 802R1. The ring 802R has an end face 802RE that contacts a flange 802F. The 802R ring is provided with a screw-on side face adapted to screw into the screw hole 801. By screwing on the 802R ring, the lubricant supply tube 802 moves towards outlet 321, 421, etc.Since the 802R ring is spliced ​​against the 802F flange, the sealing members 802S and 802T are compressed due to the movement, ensuring a proper seal. The 802 supply tube is part of the supply connection system (366, 466, etc.) provided with the connector 327, 427, etc. adapted for connection to a lubricant supply. Tube 802 is associated with a valve 900 with a control mechanism, adapted to control the lubricant supply according to the instructions of the central control system 1000. Since the internal volume 800I of the twisting tube 800 is sealed against the lubricant supply tube 802 and the outside, the twisting tube 800 and its internal volume can be used for the flow of a coolant or liquid coolant supply medium 200 (as any leakage of liquid coolant flowing within the internal volume of the twisting tube is prevented). The flow of liquid coolant within the tube is advantageous for reducing tube heating due to contact with moving vessels, as well as ensuring that the lubricant does not overheat or undercool. The 366, 466, etc. supply connection system is also provided with an independent 900 valve system that can be controlled to supply a specified amount of lubricant at different times, such as once or twice an hour. The end of the lubricant supply tube 802 is provided with an injector head 802A with a central opening with a diameter of approximately 1 mm, to control the flow of liquid lubricant within the G1, G2 grooves. Figures 15A and 15B are cross-sectional views of the 800 tube portion of Figure 15 respectively along lines XVA-XVA and XVB-XVB. As can be seen, the depth of the G1 (and also G2) slot decreases from a maximum depth in the 802A injector head, while the outer edges (G1R) of the G1 slot are rounded. G2 is similar to G1. At different lubrication stations, the tube sections may be straight or not. The straight portions of the tube at the lubrication stations ensure that at least at the various lubrication stations, a portion of the side face, bottom face, and / or top face of the moving container or can can come into contact with the curved outer face of the tube along different CRQnnn / Q7n7 / e / YiAi small linear zones or point surfaces of the containers or cans. Applying some lubricant to the contact zone of the container will ensure some deposit of liquid lubricant in the portion of the tube that extends between two lubrication stations, for example, located 30 cm to 50 cm apart. In the configuration shown in Figure 1, the lubrication stations are adapted so that, at the location of lubrication stations 90, 91, 92, 93, and 94, the movement of the movable vessels is substantially free of any rotation, i.e., a substantially linear movement. This facilitates the control of good lubrication of a portion of small vessel sections, so that the lubricated portions of the vessels will lubricate the curved tube sections between the lubrication stations. The lubrication stations thus define substantially linear path sections (e.g., with a length of less than 5 cm) (3B), (3C), with an intermediate curved path section 3D. The elongated tube can also be shaped to ensure at least one line of contact between the tube and the moving container along the entire path of movement. For example, before being partially bent, the elongated tube can be shaped to develop a substantially longitudinal external curved face or an external face following an edge. When the edge is bent, it ensures a substantially point contact with the cylindrical face of the containers or cans. If the container is a box, the contact area will be a surface. Instead of using a tube, it is also possible to use a rod. However, when using a rod, it is not possible to use the elongated tube to cool the torsion device. When using elongated tubes 301, 401, etc., it is possible to connect the tube to a cooling system 200 to allow the flow of a cooling medium into the tubes. To control the cooling, as well as to determine when lubrication steps should be operated periodically in one or more open outlet elements of one or more lubrication stations, the torsion device is equipped with temperature sensors 901, for example, to determine the temperature for each section of tube in each lubrication station. The central control system 1000 receives signals from the various temperature sensors 901, as well as information on the flow rate of the vessels being rotated per hour or minute. To maintain the temperature of the tubes within an acceptable range, the control system determines the flow rate of coolant that will flow into each tube. A signal is then sent to the refrigeration control system to supply coolant to each tube. When the temperature in a tube exceeds a specific range, or when the flow rate in the twisted vessel falls below a specific range, the 1000 control system determines whether to implement one or more lubrication steps. These lubrication steps are operated by intermittently supplying microdoses of lubricant to one or more open outlet elements. The control system manages the opening and closing of the control valve for each open outlet element, allowing for different lubrication steps or no lubrication at all for one or more open outlet elements. CRonnn / rznz / E / γΐΛΐ independently of each other. (see figure 16) Figure 17 is a box-shaped torsion device 1, which can be 3D printed, such that the internal contact faces of the box, forming the torsion channel 3, are provided with a series of open outlet elements for supplying lubricant to one or more of the faces. The open outlet elements are connected to the internal piping system formed during 3D printing. The ends 1010 of the series of piping systems can be connected to different lubricant supply pipes or to a central supply control system, to allow independent lubricant delivery to each open outlet element. The box 1 is also advantageously provided with one or more internal channels 1020 for connection to a cooling system, to ensure cooling of the box and the internal channel faces in contact with the containers to be twisted. Figure 18 shows a view of a portion of torsion tube 800, before it is twisted to generate a torsional motion, to form a guide element of a torsion device of the invention. Therefore, tube 800 is represented as linear in Figure 18. Figure 19 is a cross-sectional view of the 800 tube portion of Figure 18, along lines XIX-XIX. The portion of tube 800 in Figure 18 is intended to be connected to an air supply (compressed air, with an air pressure inside the tube of approximately 3 x 105Pa to 10 x 105Pa). Air is supplied inside the tube (internal volume 800L) substantially continuously, in order to generate several different airflows along the entire length of the tube. The 800 tube is provided with a series of 810 outlet openings for the escape of air from the tube. The outer diameter of the openings is, for example, 1 mm or less. The outlet openings are separated from each other by an axial distance (d) of approximately 2 cm, substantially along the entire length of the 800 tube (for example, lengths from 100 cm to 200 cm). The external outlet openings 810 are the ends of the holes 820 in the thickness of the tube 800. Each of the holes 820 has a frustoconical shape with a central axis 820A forming an angle with the axial direction 800A of the tube 800. As can be observed, the outlet openings 810 are located along a substantially straight line, which will become a helix-like path after being twisted. By adjusting the diameter of the outlet openings 810 and the angular position of the central axis 820A with respect to the axial direction (800A) of the tube 800, it is possible, after twisting the tube 800 to form a guide element that is at least partially curved, to direct successive airflows toward one face of the moving containers or cans, thus pushing them in their general direction of movement and in their general direction of torsion. The successive air pulses on the surface of the cans or containers further assist their movement within the torsion device. The invention also relates to a lubrication station as previously described herein for a torsion device of the invention or for an existing torsion device.
