Definitions
- the present invention relates to an automated straightening installation of a candle wick inside a receptacle containing a fusible combustible material in the solidification phase, and to the associated automated straightening method.
- the invention is in the field of candle production lines shaped to fill the fusible fuel material receptacles and place wicks inside the receptacles, each candle thus comprising a receptacle containing a fusible fuel material and a wick.
- the fusible combustible material generally of the natural wax or paraffin wax type, is introduced into the receptacle in liquid form, with the presence of the wick generally supported at its lower end by a support placed in the bottom of the receptacle, then the Fusible fuel material cures to being completely frozen or solid, thereby immobilizing the wick taken in the solid fusible combustible material.
- FIG. 1 which illustrates a candle 1 comprising a receptacle 10 containing a fusible combustible material 1 1 and a wick 12 carried by a support 13 placed in the bottom 14 of the receptacle 10, it is conventionally observed a sag of the wick 12 , in particular as a result of gravity, as solidification of the fusible combustible material 1 1 takes place.
- Such collapse consists of a deflection of the wick 12 which no longer extends along a vertical central axis 15 of the receptacle 10, leading to a decentering of its upper part, so that this upper part of the wick 12 (which protrudes in part of the level of the fuse combustible material 1 1) approaches the walls of the receptacle 10. If the wick 12 is immobilized in such a collapsed position, it is customary for the manufacturer to remove the candle 1 which becomes unsellable for aesthetic reasons but especially of decrease in the duration of burning of the wick 12.
- the wick 12 is erected vertically within the receptacle 10, and more specifically in the center of the receptacle 10, so that the wick 12 extends along the vertical central axis 15 of the receptacle 10.
- a first solution known from US 7,736,145, is to use a dip tube within which is positioned the wick, the dip tube being supported by a bearing bearing on the edges of the receptacle.
- a solution is particularly complex because it is necessary to manually place each wick in the tube, not to mention that it uses a first pouring combustible material fuse with the present plunger tube until complete solidification, then a second payment combustible material fuse without the dip tube.
- a second solution known in particular from documents US 2009/0092938, US 3,799,492, DE 36 20 607 and US 6 090 331, consists in using an upper bumper resting on the edges of the receptacle and traversed in its center by the upper end of the wick, such an upper stopper being provided to limit or block the movement of the wick at its high end.
- an upper bumper resting on the edges of the receptacle and traversed in its center by the upper end of the wick, such an upper stopper being provided to limit or block the movement of the wick at its high end.
- a third solution known from DE 23 28 267, consists of pneumatic means adapted to emit directed air flow to straighten the wick.
- pneumatic solution is not very accurate to replace a wick in the center of its receptacle, and is unsuitable for vertically straightening a sag lock.
- the present invention aims to solve these disadvantages, providing an automated and effective solution to obtain vertically upright wicks in the center of the receptacles, and which is suitable for a high-speed candle production line.
