Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of device with covering to container closure, preferably come to container closure with plastic spiral cover, roll-on cap or crown cork.
Background technology
Under the use cap seal mouth container especially beverage situation at filling oxygen sensitive, be known that: the head zone cavity of each container utilizes unreactable gas or nitrogen blowing, so that oxygen is extruded from vessel head area.
For rationed nitrogen, for example, be known that through vessel port and splash into the liquid nitrogen drop, wherein, liquid nitrogen evaporates in vessel head area, and the corresponding oxygen that will wherein comprise is extruded.Corresponding dosing mechanism comprises the nitrogen nozzle, and it is upper above each vessel port that it is arranged on the part circle, thereby the liquid nitrogen drop can splash into head zone through opening.Correspondingly, nozzle is set directly at opening top, thereby can not splash into the liquid nitrogen drop with cap seal mouth container the time.Yet, in the situation that the application liquid nitrogen splashes into liquid nitrogen and also do not expect in sealing, this is because at first should make vaporized nitrogen, in order to oxygen is extruded, sets up afterwards each lid.Correspondingly, here, the part of work angle is for waiting for the evaporation of nitrogen drop.For example,, by the disclosed corresponding system of EP1651555B1.
Known another system, wherein, gaseous nitrogen sprays into vessel head area by the first laterally disposed nozzle, and by the second nitrogen nozzle that is arranged on opposite side, gaseous nitrogen is sprayed into to lid.By this way, extrude the oxygen in vessel head area and lid.For example,, by the disclosed corresponding system of WO2010/087097A1.
Another device for gas processing head zone and lid is open by JP2004-161350A, wherein, be provided with the independent nozzle holder between lid and vessel head area at this, it is corresponding comprise for purge lid be directed upwards towards nozzle and for purging the downward sensing nozzle of head zone.
Summary of the invention
According to known prior art, task of the present invention is further to optimize sealing process and oxygen extruding in regional cavity from the head.
This task solves by the device that seals container with lid with feature in claim 1.Dependent claims provides favourable improved procedure.
Correspondingly, the device that seals container with lid comprises conveying star-wheel and at least one sealing element, and described conveying star-wheel is for delivery of container, and described sealing element is for the closing containers to utilizing the conveying star-wheel to carry.In addition, described device also comprises nozzle holder, and described nozzle holder has purge gas is blown into to being directed upwards towards nozzle and purge gas being blown into to the downward sensing nozzle of vessel head area of lid.According to the present invention, described nozzle holder is arranged on outside the zone of action of described sealing element.
Due to nozzle holder be arranged on the sealing element the zone of action outside, so can carry out gas processing in whole sealing process, and the sealing element descending motion the stage starts in early days.Especially, can and cover in vessel head area in the time of also can freely approaching and start gas treating process, thereby nitrogen can be blown into the lid that is arranged in the sealing element from the below that tilts, and can be blown into from the top that tilts the head zone of the container guided the guiding star-wheel.Because the nozzle holder that comprises nozzle is arranged on outside the zone of action of sealing element, the air-flow that correspondingly can keep the nozzle by nozzle holder to apply, until lid is arranged on container fully.
Correspondingly, the thorough purging of failure-free does not occur over just in the internal cavity that the head zone cavity also occurs in lid, thereby can set up anoxic here until the atmosphere of anaerobic, and this ability of depositing on corresponding filled drink produces particularly advantageous impact.In other words, due to nozzle holder laterally disposed the sealing element the zone of action outside, can during sealing process fully, keep the air-flow of oxygenless gas.Correspondingly, the remaining oxygen content in head zone is few especially in other words after mounting cover after the sealing process finishes.
Nozzle holder preferably so is positioned at outside the part circle, to realize that nitrogen is blown into to head zone and lid.In an alternative means, within nozzle holder correspondingly also so is arranged on the part circle, to realize the corresponding nitrogen that is blown into.
Nozzle holder preferably edge part circle extends past an angle part, and this angle part can be in the position that accesses each lid until stretch between the lid position that installation is sealed in other words fully fully.Nozzle holder especially preferably extends past this angular range.The effect section of the corresponding length by gas, correspondingly, can be effectively by oxygen from the head zone and lid extrude, until seal container fully with covering.Simultaneously, the airflow function time based on corresponding length, also can reduce being blown into pressure or being blown into speed of gas.
Nozzle holder preferably has a plurality of corresponding gas jets that are directed upwards towards, so that gas is blown into to lid.In addition, also be provided preferably with the gas jet of a plurality of downward sensings, so that gas is blown into to vessel head area.
In particularly preferred mode of texturing, nozzle with the different angles setting, is blown into lid and vessel head area along nozzle holder with aiming to realize trying one's best.In vinyl cover is twisted receiving the cap rotating machine on bottle, container is sentenced the double altitudes guiding movement in neck ring usually, and on the contrary, the sealing element drops in vessel port together with the screw top be contained in wherein.Correspondingly, gas jet preferably is arranged in such a way: the below gas jet of aligning vessel head area always angle equally is arranged on nozzle holder, yet the top nozzle of cover alignment, with the different angles setting, makes air-flow follow the descending motion of lid.Like this, while finishing with gas processing, compare, be directed upwards towards nozzle and be directed upwards towards more obliquely when gas treating process starts.
In a preferred refinement, the additional ring be directed upwards towards is arranged on the top that is directed upwards towards nozzle around purge nozzle, and/or the additional ring pointed to downwards is arranged on the below of downward sensing nozzle around purge nozzle, and/or additional ring is arranged on and is directed upwards towards nozzle and points between nozzle downwards around purge nozzle.Can provide a kind of purge gas heavy curtain (Sp ü lgasvorhang) around lid and container area to be sealed by these additional rings around purge nozzle.Like this, when the actual sealing of container, when the relative harness motion of lid, also can try one's best and even thoroughly utilize purge gas (being preferably unreactable gas) to realize isolation.Can reduce even avoid sealing during container owing to occurring that eddy current makes outside air enter container, the corresponding ability of depositing that can further improve filled drink.
With regard to the angle of nozzle holder is extended, additional ring preferably only is arranged in the part of nozzle holder around purge nozzle.Because outside air enters the danger that container pollutes container, when the decline process finishes, be the highest, this is because no longer can make outside air leave container by purge gas with post-purge.Thereby, preferably additional ring in purge nozzle is arranged on such angular range of nozzle holder, described angular range is corresponding to covering to the end of the decline process of vessel port.By this way, can when starting, the decline process save purge gas.
Additional ring is around purge nozzle structure by this way particularly preferably: with from being directed upwards towards nozzle and/or pointing to the purge gas that nozzle flows out downwards and compare, the purge gas flowed out around purge nozzle from additional ring has more weak flowing.This more weak flowing preferably by selecting additional ring to obtain around the respective diameters of purge nozzle.Due to eluting gas the more weak less in other words momentum that flows, blow away outside air by very mild flow of purge gas, can not destroy purge gas atmosphere.
About this, additional ring can be by obtaining supply with being directed upwards towards nozzle with the purge gas delivery section that the sensing nozzle separates downwards around purge nozzle, and described purge gas delivery section preferably can be subjected to lower purge gas pressure.Can connect another purge gas source according to advantageous manner on the purge gas delivery section of separating, this another purge gas source provides another pressure or another purge gas or unreactable gas is provided.Yet the purge gas delivery section of separating also can be connected on the first purge gas source by reducing valve.
Also can enlarge corresponding cleaning area in cleaning course by additional around purge nozzle, apply cleaning solution to some equipment region or equipment surface targetedly.For example, being directed upwards towards nozzle can be to spray in the blocking head, and the additional ring be directed upwards towards sprays to the blocking head from outside around purge nozzle.
Be arranged between lid and container and compare with the nitrogen nozzle, by the nozzle holder with nozzle, be arranged on outside the zone of action of sealing element and can also realize the sealing element that earlier descends.Correspondingly, at this, the angle part for purging head zone and lid of part circle also diminishes and reduces in other words, thereby can improve the efficiency of capper.
In addition, can and compare by the longer airflow function time period nozzle be arranged between container and lid and obviously more gently be blown into pressure or the flowing velocity that nitrogen reduces purge gas, thereby can avoid by this way making product splash out from each container because spraying into gas.
In a particularly preferred mode of texturing, nozzle holder has for applying the valve such as cleaning foam or heat alkali liquid cleaning solution.By this way fully the cleaning nozzle support together with nozzle mounted thereto, can also be when corresponding importing pressure equally by the nozzle holder nozzle to carrying star-wheel apply cleaning solution, especially from direction sealing element apply cleaning solution.Not only effectively clean by this way the nozzle holder with nozzle, also effectively cleaned whole device.

The specific embodiment
Below with reference to accompanying drawing, preferred embodiment is described.Here, the indication of identical Reference numeral is identical, similar or act on identical parts, and has sometimes omitted in the following description to being repeated in this description of these parts, in order to avoid tediously long.
Fig. 1 schematically shows the cross sectional drawing of part that seals the device of container 2 with lid 3.Container 2 has opening 20, covers 3 and should twist and be connected on opening 20.For this reason, cover 3 and preferably have negative thread 30, it is twisted and connects with the corresponding outside thread in container 2 opening 20 zones.
Be provided with nozzle holder 4, it has the upwards cavity 44 guiding mobile gas of nozzle 40 for being infused in nozzle holder 4 or nozzle holder 4 of jet flow.At this, the orientation that is directed upwards towards nozzle 40 makes air-flow inject the internal cavity 32 that covers 3.
In addition, downward sensing nozzle 42 also is set, its orientation makes the air-flow that leaves nozzle 42 inject the head zone 24 of container 2.
At this, the height of nozzle holder 4 is arranged in such a way: nozzle 40,42 when purge starts preferably with each entrance (, opening 20 and cover 3 uncovered) keep approximately equal spacing.During the sealing process, cover 3 and drop on the opening 20 of container 2, thereby, at this, change with the spacing of nozzle holder 4.
According to Fig. 1, also see, nozzle holder 4 forms according to the form of ring segment, and it has such radius: nozzle holder 4 is positioned at outside opening 20 and covers outside 3.In other words, cover 3 and can drop to opening 20, and nozzle holder 4 can not counteract covering 3 decline.
To this, the diamond shape of the nozzle holder 4 that Fig. 1 illustrates has also played effect, and this shape correspondingly has the section of dwindling in zone up.This dwindles section and can mate with the outside dimension of sealing element.Correspondingly, also can when lid 3 is installed on the opening 20 of container 2 fully, nozzle holder 4 also be set, it correspondingly goes back the supplying purging air-flow.
At this, nozzle holder 4 is configured to: nozzle holder 4 also is formed on lid 3 and seals outside the zone of action of sealing element (Fig. 1 is not shown) of container 2.For example, by Fig. 2, provide this setup, accordingly, each sealing element 6 can drop on each container 2 fully, in order to set up, covers 3, and can not bump against with nozzle holder 4 at this.
Preferably use nitrogen (that is, N
2) as flow to the purge gas of nozzle 40,42 by the inner space 44 of nozzle holder 4.The gas that other are suitable, especially unreactable gas also can be for purging.
Fig. 1 illustrates two additional rings around purge nozzle 41 and 43, and they are arranged on nozzle holder 4.Additional ring is arranged on the top that is directed upwards towards nozzle 40 around purge nozzle 41, and additional ring is arranged on the below of downward sensing nozzle 42 around purge nozzle 43.Additional ring is a kind of around lid 3 and the purge gas " heavy curtain " of opening 20 for forming around purge nozzle 41,43, so as in the sealing process by cover 3 and the relative motion of opening 20 reduce or avoid outside air to enter container 2 while forming eddy current.
Additional ring can be adjusted to and make very mild purging air-flow blow away outside air from sealing zone at its diametrically around purge nozzle 41,43.At this, the additional ring shown in Fig. 1 is connected to the cavity 44 of the guiding purge gas of nozzle holder 4 around purge nozzle 41,43.
Yet alternatively, in unshowned mode of texturing, can in nozzle holder 4, be provided for transfer rings another passage around purge gas.For example, this another passage can connect another purge gas source with another purge gas and/or another pressure.In another optional mode, this another passage also can be connected on the first purge gas source by reducing valve, thereby only is provided for another pressure of purge gas here.By this way, the purge gas of discharging around purge nozzle 41,43 from additional ring can have lower flow velocity, and then has lower momentum, thereby, can not lose the regional purge gas environment around sealing of formation like this.
Additional ring is also advantageous in that around purge nozzle 41,43, by them, can apply cleaning agent to other surfaces targetedly.For example, be directed upwards towards nozzle 40 to the interior spray of sealing element 6, and additional ring sprays to sealing element 6 from outside around purge nozzle 41.Thereby can determine targetedly desirable cleaning effect or desirable cleaning area.
With regard to the angle of nozzle holder 4 is extended (Winkelerstreckung), additional ring preferably can only be arranged in the part of this nozzle holder 4 around purge nozzle 41,43.Because outside air enters the degree of risk that container 2 pollutes container 2, when the decline process finishes, be the highest, this is because no longer can make outside air leave container 2 by purge gas with post-purge.Thereby additional ring is in purge nozzle 41,43 preferably is arranged on such angular range of nozzle holder 4: this angular range is corresponding to the end of the lid 3 decline processes to container 2 openings 20.Can when starting, the decline process save purge gas by this way.
Fig. 2 illustrates the exemplary device 1 for sealing container with schematic perspective, wherein, and not shown container herein.Container utilizes the conveying star-wheel 5 schematically shown to carry usually.In the conveying star-wheel 5 of Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment, container is maintained by its corresponding neck ring, and utilizes and carry correspondingly guiding movement in circle of star-wheel 5.Be provided with sealing element 6 above the corresponding receiving channel for vessel port in carrying star-wheel 5, utilize sealing element 6 lid (lid 3 as shown in Figure 1) can be positioned in vessel port 20.
To cover accordingly by accessing wheel 60 for this reason and deliver the part circle to sealing element 6, at tangential intersection point place, by the downward movement that seals element 6, from accessing wheel 60, take off corresponding lid, drop to subsequently vessel port coupled.
Sealing element 6 is set in the embodiment shown, so that plastic screw cap is twisted and received on the PET bottle.Yet other sealing elements 6 also can be expected in this arrangement, for example, for the sealing element of roll extrusion roll-on cap or for applying the sealing element of crown cork.
Nozzle holder 4 is arranged in the angle part of part circle, and wherein, the corresponding angle part of part circle is selected such that air-flow can inject the head zone cavity of container to be sealed, and can apply air-flow to the lid Already in sealed in element 6 equally.Accordingly, the outside air oxygen also N from being flowed into by the cavity that limits of lid of zone from the head not only in other words
2gas squeezes.
Outside the zone of action that nozzle holder 4 is arranged on to sealing element 6, although utilize the nozzle 40,42 and the additional ring that are arranged in nozzle holder 4 to provide air-flow around purge nozzle 41,43, still can implement the sealing process of container.In other words, in the situation that there is nozzle holder 4, sealing element 6 also can be carried out the required dipping and heaving of sealing process fully.Correspondingly, gas purging can be followed whole sealing process, at least until the lid be installed in vessel port fully.Realized thus: the remaining oxygen in the head zone cavity of the container so sealed is seldom.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, in a mode of texturing, preferably, nozzle holder 4 has so downward sensing nozzle, in order to air-flow is blown into to vessel head area, that is, constant air-flow preferably in the constant angle situation, occurs.
Descend together with sealing element 6 because cover 3, receive on container in order to can lid 3 twist, so preferably such variation of the orientation that is directed upwards towards nozzle in nozzle holder 4: in the best way corresponding air flow is blown into all the time to the internal cavity limited by lid.
Correspondingly, be arranged on being directed upwards towards nozzle and can being orientated by different way along the whole length of nozzle holder 4 in nozzle holder 4.In addition, the cross-sectional plane of nozzle holder 4 can vary along its length, and (for example) can generally keep impartial along the whole length of nozzle holder from flowing of each nozzle thus.
Although Fig. 2 shows an advantageous version mode below, that is, nozzle holder 4 is arranged on (vessel port and sealing element 6 be guiding movement on this part circle) outside the part circle, but in a mode of texturing, nozzle holder 4 also can arrange inboard, that is, and and within being positioned at the part circle.
Fig. 3 illustrates the schematic plan of container closure device 1, wherein, can see each sealing element 6.Carry container to be sealed by input star-wheel 70 and output star-wheel 72.By accessing wheel 60, lid can be delivered to sealing element 6.
Also schematically shown nozzle holder 4, it has upwards, the respective nozzle 40,42 of Jet with downward flow direction, in order to purge gas is sent into to the head zone cavity of container and the internal cavity limited by lid.As shown in Figure 3, nozzle holder 4 extends past the relatively wide angular range of this part circle, thereby purge gas (can be preferably to N
2) not only be blown into head zone and also be blown into the internal cavity formed by lid, until lid is arranged in vessel port fully.Can realize thus after purge finishes, almost not having oxygen to enter lid or head zone cavity.
Fig. 3 also schematically shows valve 8 on nozzle holder 4, and this valve 8 makes in the clean loop (so-called clean on the spot " cleaning-in-place ") that can be incorporated into device 1, in order to utilize heat alkali liquid, foam or other cleaning solution flooding nozzle supports 4.Cleaning nozzle support 4 internally correspondingly, all nozzles 40,42 and additional ring can utilize cleaning solution thoroughly to clean around purge nozzle 41,43.By simple geometric configuration as shown in Figure 1, also can be simply from external washing cleaning nozzle support 4 in other words, this especially can not gather horizontal plane thereon because cleaning solution is set.
In addition, when to nozzle holder 4, applying cleaning medium, the also lower surface of sealing element 6 capable of washing and carry star-wheel 5.Correspondingly, by shown in structure, except the oxygen favourable operation that regional cavity is extruded from the head, also improved sanitary characteristics simultaneously.
Fig. 4 illustrates and carries the scheme circuit of purge gas to each nozzle 40,42.Especially, the purge gas (N that for example there is 6～8bar malleation
2) the 90 places input in gas access.By each measurement mechanism and pressure reducer 92, gas is delivered to corresponding nozzle 40,42 by two sterilizing filter elements 94.The sterilizing that is blown into the gas of filter core 94 has stoped bacterium to enter container to be sealed.
Vapours for giving filter core 94 and nozzle 40,42 nozzle holder 4 sterilizings in other words can be applied to this system by sterilizing vapor interface 96.The pressure of corresponding vapours (for example) is 3bar and can be applied in filter core 94 by corresponding transfer line 980, or directly imposes on nozzle 40,42 nozzle holder 4 in other words by transfer line 982.
When additional ring also is set around purge nozzle 41,43 in nozzle holder 4, correspondingly also to them, apply purge gas and sterile medium.
Equally also show the transfer line 984 that rinses alkali lye to nozzle holder 4 its cavity 44 inputs in other words.Transfer line 984 is connected with CIP equipment (cleaning-in-place system " cleaning-in-place "), thereby this cleaning course can be included in to the clean loop of device 1.
At this, filter core 94 is so constructed, that is, and and sterilising filtration N
2thereby, can be by N
2be applied in the sterile equipment of sterile filling beverage.
Correspondingly also can realize by described container closure device the gas processing of head zone and lid, until lid is installed on container to be sealed fully, thereby obviously reduce, avoid airborne oxygen again to enter even fully.The oxygen deficient atmospheres occurred in vessel head area has stoped the oxidation of oxysensible product.
By applying the nitrogen reduced pressure, in the time of can also roughly avoiding being blown into nitrogen, cause product to splash, this is also supported by relatively gently being blown into nitrogen.
And, corresponding geometric configuration and sterilizing steam, heat alkali liquid, foam or other health media by nozzle holder 4 can be crossed nozzle holder 4, nozzle 40,42 and additional ring around purge nozzle 41,43 by simple stream, can also obtain simple and reliable wholesomeness.
