Device for transporting bottles

The innovation relates to a device for transporting bottles, especially plastic bottles, with onem im Muzzle area arranged support collar, consisting of a guide track and an operative connection with this standing compressed air nozzle channel.

Such devices are used in particular for rapid transport of lightweight plastic tabs between the area a storage point and the subsequent treatment machines Such conveyors consist of a guideway and an immediate adjoining compressed air nozzle channel directed towards the mouth area of the bottles to be transported. Here flows the compressed air directly against the mouth or shoulder area of the bottles to be transported and here has a relatively small contact surface, so that a high air flow for movement of the individual bottles is required. On the other hand, with the assignment of the air nozzles directly in the area of the bottle mouth, especially in companies in the beverage industry, the risk of infection of the bottle contents cannot be ruled out, which in particular for sensitive beverages that are then stored in a Filling machine can cause significant problems.

With the present innovation, these disadvantages are to be avoided and the following tasks are to be solved jointly:

- The mouth openings of the bottles should be as far away as possible from the nozzle area that directs _{the compressed air onto the bottle jacket (to avoid infections.}

- At the same time, processing should be different Bottle sizes (length, diameter, contour) be possible with a uniform device.

- A possibly necessary adjustment of the whole Device intended for different bottle formats as dispensable and, if at all, given with simple means.

This task on which the innovation is based is used in a device of the type mentioned in that the guide track is above and at a distance from one on both sides of the conveying path of the bottles located compressed air nozzle channel is arranged and these nozzle channels have a distance from one another, the is significantly larger than the diameter of the bottles to be transported, with the side nozzle channels below these Movement path of the bottles limiting guide strips arranged;

It has proven to be expedient that a compressed air supply channel is arranged below the nozzle channel and the guide bar is held on this.

Finally, as part of the innovation, it is proposed that at least one side of the nozzle and / or supply channel Retaining bracket for the guideway, which can be adjusted both in the area of the channels and in the area of the guideway in the relevant fasteners are included.

With this innovation according to the initially tasks completely solved. In particular, different bottles of any shape and size can be used with and the same device can be processed without a direct application of the mouth area of such bottles by means Compressed air is present, moreover, a simple adaptation to different Bottles, if this is necessary, can be done in a simple manner.

In the following, the innovation is based on one in the drawing illustrated embodiment explained in more detail. In the drawing shows:

Fig. 1 shows a cross section through the device and 2 shows a simplified overall representation.

According to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, there is the device consists of a guide track 1, which expediently consists of two spaced apart and continuous angle rails 2 is formed and is used to receive a support collar for bottles 4. Below and at a distance from it are on top of each other opposite sides of the path of movement of the bottles 4 compressed air nozzle channels 5, 6 arranged. These suitably consist of an upper nozzle channel with obliquely directed openings 7 through which the compressed air can flow out against the jacket for the purpose of further conveying the bottles. Under the respective nozzle channels 7 a supply channel 8 is arranged. Underneath this channel there are guide strips 9, 10 for the actual delimitation the bottle trajectory. These guide rails are ideal Adjustment to the respective bottle proportions adjustable to the relevant supply channel 8 held. To assign the guide track 1, retaining brackets 11 are provided, which are attached to fastening parts 12 of the compressed air nozzle channel 5, 6 adjustable in height screwed are. There are also fastening parts on the guideway 1 13, which also allow a variable adaptation of the guideway or its assignment to the conveying area of the compressed air nozzle channels to! ate.

As in particular from FIG. 1 with the bottle shown therein As can be seen, there is a significantly large distance between the cylinder jacket and the inner surfaces of the compressed air nozzle channels 5, 6,

which allows different bottle sizes or bottles with thickenings located on the jacket. The guide strips 9, 10 can be the actual lateral Take the lead without the actual conveying path being narrowed in the area of the channels. There is also between the Guide track 1 and the surface 14 of the compressed air nozzle channels 5, a generous distance that allows the air masses to flow away outside the mouth area of the bottles.

From Fig. 2 are also the compressed air supply channels 15, from the compressed air source 17 to the compressed air nozzle channels 5, associated supply channels 8 lead, can be seen.
