    DESCRIPTION
    Rotary packaging positioner.
    Object of the invention.
    The object of the invention is a rotary container positioner, comprising: an upper container dispenser, provided with a distribution disk of the containers towards the periphery of the dispenser; and of selectors placed tangentially to the diameter of the machine and opened inferiorly for the fall of the containers towards the lower zone, and - a motorized central core disposed below the dispenser, enabled to rotate with respect to a vertical axis and provided with positioning and delivery means of the containers in an upright position and with the neck facing up, to an exit conveyor;
    This rotary positioning of packages has characteristics oriented to allow an increase of the production with respect to the rotary positioners of the same size existing in the market.
    State of the art
    At present, basically, there are two types of container positioners, used to automatically position the supplied containers so that they are delivered standing to an outgoing conveyor:
    - Linear positioners, with a limited capacity of containers / hour to position and that has already reached said limit, not being able to increase cadences with this technology. These linear positioners cannot position neckless bottles, due to the selection system they use, which represents an important use limitation. An additional problem with these linear positioners is that they cannot work with neckless bottles,

    - Rotary positioners, comprising selectors placed tangentially to the diameter of the machine, through which the containers fall horizontally, from a top dispenser, and thanks to the special shape of the selector the container always falls vertically, through the inside of a funnel, on a conveyor belt.
    In these rotary positioners the positioning capacity is determined by the diameter of the positioner and by the length of the containers to be positioned; that is to say with longer packages, less selectors or a larger diameter of the positioner; being possible to achieve greater productions at the cost of increasing the diameter of the positioner, which obviously generates an increase in the space needed to locate the machine and the costs associated with it. This situation is not acceptable for many companies that need to increase their production.
    Production lines are increasingly demanding greater capacity, so that by increasing the nominal speed of the lines, the positioners must be larger. This causes a number of disadvantages for the manufacturer and the user:
    - Space on occupied floor too large.
    - A larger machine implies an exponential increase in electrical and pneumatic consumption.
    - A larger machine is equivalent to making it more expensive to manufacture and transport.
    The applicant for the invention is unaware of the existence in the market of antecedents of packaging positioners that allow solving the problem set forth above; So the technical problem that arises is the development of a rotary positioner of packages that allows to increase the cadence of positioning, without increasing the space necessary for its implantation and serves to position: - both bottles with neck large enough so that the base of the bottle and its neck are completely different, regardless of its shape: cylindrical, oval, rectangular or square; - as for bottles without neck but with opening large enough.

    Description of the invention
    The rotary positioner of packages, object of the present invention presents some constructive particulars oriented to satisfactorily solve the problem set forth above, allowing to increase production without increasing the space necessary for its implementation.
    This rotary positioning is of the type described or in the characterizing part of the first claim; presenting: - a top container dispenser, provided with a distribution disk of the containers towards the periphery of the dispenser; and of selectors placed tangentially to the diameter of the machine and opened inferiorly for the fall of the containers towards the lower zone and - a motorized central core disposed below the dispenser, enabled to rotate with respect to a vertical axis and provided with positioning and delivery means of the containers in an upright position and with the neck facing up to an exit conveyor;
    In order to achieve the proposed objectives, this positioner comprises, fixed perimeter in the rotating central core and aligned vertically in descending direction, the following three groups of elements:
    - a group of higher funnels, provided with:
    or an upper inlet mouth of the containers of the upper dispenser, or at least an intermediate branch for guiding the containers to a vertical position, randomly with the neck up or down; and or at least two lower delivery mouths of the containers in an upright position;
    - an intermediate group of tilting selectors facing vertically with the lower mouths of the upper funnels for receiving the containers indistinctly with the neck up or down, said front open swingarms being located, mounted on horizontal turning axes and coupled to an actuator mechanism that, in collaboration with defined stop means inside said rocker selectors,

    causes its tilting with respect to the horizontal axis and the unloading of the containers with the neck always facing up and;
    - a lower group of exit funnels that receive the containers of the tilt selectors and deliver them in an upright position, and with the neck up, to an exit conveyor.
    In accordance with the invention, the stop means defined inside the tilting selectors for unloading the containers with the neck always facing upwards, comprise a lower recess defined in the base of the selector, of a section smaller than the base of the container and suitable for the reception of the neck of those containers that access the inside of the rocker selector with the neck down; and a transverse rod, adjustable in height with respect to the upper end of the open front of the rocker selector, and which forms a retention stop of the neck of those containers that access said rocker switch with the neck oriented towards the area above.
    With these characteristics of the rocker selector, when a container accesses it with the neck oriented upwards, when said selector rotates the base of the container slides on the base of the rocker selector and the neck of said container is momentarily retained by the transverse rod so that the container is delivered to the corresponding exit funnel in the same position, that is, with the neck facing up.
    On the contrary, when a container accesses the rocker selector in an inverted position, that is, as the neck oriented downwards, the neck of the container is introduced into the recess of the base of the rocker selector while the base of the container is located below the transverse rod. . Thus, when the rocker selector is rotated, the neck of the container is momentarily retained in the recess of the base while the base of the container is released from the rocker selector automatically producing the container turning towards a delivery position with the neck facing the Upper area.

    The special configuration of the upper funnels provided with at least two lower outlets provides great advantages to this rotary positioner; Among which it is possible to mention: that allows to reduce the space necessary to position the container in 2/3 of its total length (approximately), always guaranteeing the vertical position of the container; and. allows to increase at least 1/3 the number of divisions for the positioning of packages with respect to a conventional rotary positioner of the same diameter and consequently increase in the same proportion the production of the rotary positioner.
    Description of the figures.
    To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:
    - Figure 1 shows a schematic elevation view of an example of embodiment of the rotary container positioner according to the invention, sectioned by a vertical plane and in which the upper funnel, the rocker selector and the two funnel can be seen diametrically opposite divisions
    - Figure 2 shows a schematic front elevation view of two of the contiguous divisions corresponding to the same upper funnel.
    - Figure 3 shows a perspective view of one of the tilting selectors and the corresponding actuator mechanism, constituted in this case by a rack-and-pinion pinion mechanism driven by a pneumatic cylinder.
    - Figure 4 shows a front perspective view of the rocker selector of figure three without the actuator mechanism.
    - Figures 5 and 6 show two views of an upper funnel, a rocker selector and an output funnel, in which the operation of the rocker switch can be observed when receiving a container with the neck oriented towards

    above and when receiving a container with the neck facing down Preferred embodiment of the invention.
    The rotary positioning of packages represented in figure one comprises an upper dispenser (1) of packages (E) provided with a distribution disk (11) of the packages towards the periphery of the dispenser; and of selectors (12) placed tangentially to the diameter of the machine and open inferiorly for the fall of the containers (E) towards the lower zone.
    Below the said dispenser (1) a motorized central core (2) is arranged, which rotates with respect to a vertical axis and is provided with a series of discs (21, 22, 23) for supporting positioning and delivery means from the containers (E) in an upright position and with the neck (C) facing up to an outlet conveyor (3);
    In the rotating central core (2) and specifically on the periphery of the discs (21,22, 23), they are fixed and aligned vertically downwards: - a group of upper funnels (4); a group of rocker selectors (5) and a group of lower funnels.
    As can be seen in Figure 2, each of the upper funnels (4) comprises: an upper mouth (41) for entering the containers (E) from the upper dispenser (1); an intermediate branch (42) for guiding the containers (E) to a vertical position, randomly with the neck up or down; and two lower mouths (43) for delivering the containers in an upright position to the respective tilting selectors (5).
    As can be seen in FIG. 3, the rocker selectors (5) are open frontally, mounted on horizontal axes (51) of rotation and coupled to an actuator mechanism (7) that causes its tilting with respect to the horizontal axis (51) to cause unloading of the containers (E) housed therein towards the corresponding lower funnel (6) as shown in figures 1, 5 and 6,

    In the example shown in Figure 3 the actuator mechanism (7) is represented by a pinion-rack mechanism driven by a pneumatic cylinder (71).
    As can be seen in Figure 4, the rocker selectors 5 have internally provided stop means to ensure that the unloading of the containers (e) in the corresponding lower funnel six is always carried out in the same position, that is to say with the neck (C ) of the container (e) facing up
    Said stop means comprise a recess (52) defined at the base of the rocker selector (5) of a section smaller than the base (B) of the package; and a transverse rod (53) butt, which is mounted at greater or lesser height in some holes (54), depending on the height of the container (E) to be positioned.
    As can be seen in figure 5 when a container (E) accesses the rocker selector (5) with the neck (C) facing upwards, when said selector rotates the base (B) of the container slides on the base of the rocker selector and the neck (C) of said container (E) is momentarily retained by the transverse rod (53) the container (E) falling into the corresponding outlet funnel (6) in the correct delivery position, that is, with the neck oriented upwards.
    As can be seen in Figure 6, in the event that a container (E) accesses the rocker selector (5) in an inverted position, that is, with the neck (C) facing down, the neck (C) of the container it is introduced into the recess (51) of the base of the rocker selector (5), while the base (B) of the package is located below the transverse rod (53). By rotating the rocker selector (5) the neck (C) of the container is momentarily retained in the recess (52) of the base of the rocker selector (5) while the base (B) of the container passes below the transverse rod ( 53) and is released from the rocker selector; taking place automatically of the turn of the container (E) towards a correct position of delivery, that is to say with the neck (C) oriented upwards.
    Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the described elements may be
