    The machine for placing information discs in valves
    CONTAINERS FOR PRESSURE GASES AND CONTAINER CLOSURE STATION
    FOR PRESSURE GASES
    5 D E S C R I P C I ON
    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention is part of the technical field of the industry dedicated to the packaging of products and more specifically to the packaging for gases in container containers prepared for this purpose.
    More specifically, a machine for placing information discs in gas valves for pressurized gases is described. It can be an independent machine or be integrated in the same station with a plug-sealing machine.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    The liquefied petroleum gases are distributed for consumption in containers of different characteristics that must be closed with seals of type seal to guarantee the
    user that the contents inside the package have not been manipulated.
    From the state of the art known plug-sealing machines that allow the placement of said caps in the corresponding ones in an automated and continuous manner.
    Until now, it has not been necessary to carry out further actions on the containers for liquefied petroleum gases, but following the REACH 1907/2006 regulation, the placement of informative elements, specifically the CE label 27030 990-9, has become mandatory. These informative elements are discs that have a diameter of 14 cm and a
    thickness of 200 ^ m.
    From the state of the art, document ES2148054 is known which describes a plug-sealing machine. The machine places the plug-seals on the valve
    outlet of the gas pressure containers. The seal plugs descend to the lower end of a feed channel from where they are pushed upwards by a cylinder to introduce them into the lower housing of a respective cylinder. To transfer it to the application position when the machine 5 is sent, it comprises an actuator that controls said displacement.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention describes a machine for placing information discs in 10 valves of containers for pressurized gases. Preferably the information discs are placed in containers for liquefied petroleum gases.
    The information disc setting machine of the present invention receives a container with a cap-seal already placed on the valve and will place an information disc 15 on the container valve. At the exit of the machine you have the container with the cap and with the information disc already placed so that the package can already be distributed for sale.
    The machine essentially comprises an information disc storage module, an information disc positioning module and a container holding module.
    In the storage module is where the information discs that are going to be used are arranged. Preferably these are arranged on a rotating table comprising a plurality of bars on each of which a column of discs is placed. When discs of a given column are being used and this is forged, the turntable is rotated so that the discs of a new column can be picked up.
    The positioning module comprises two cylinders with vertical movement to place the disc on the container, connected to an actuator that moves horizontally. The cylinders comprise a disk head that is intended to take the information disc of the storage module by means of a vertical movement of the cylinder and to position it on the valves of the containers by means of the movement of the actuator. This cycle is repeated continuously.
    The module for securing the package comprises at least one jaw mounted on a horizontal actuator configured to maintain the position of the container during the placement of the information disc.
    5
    Preferably, the containers move on conveyor chains from their entry into the information disc placement machine until their exit with the disc already in place.
    10 In a preferred embodiment, the machine itself is integrated in the frame of a container closing station in which there is also a stopper-sealing machine. This saves space in the plant and also prevents possible failures by having to change the machine containers, by de-synchronizing operations between different machines, bottlenecks, etc.

    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    15 An example of realization is described below with the help of Figures 1 to 7
    of the present invention.
    The machine for placing informative discs in gas valves for pressurized gas can be seen in Figure 1 where a station for closing of gas containers for pressurized gases has been shown. The closure of the container is carried out with a stopper placed in the outlet valve of the container and with an informative disc that is also placed in said valve. When the containers (1) are introduced into the container closing station they are already filled with the corresponding liquefied petroleum gas.
    25
    The information disc placement machine described in the present invention is made up of a storage module (2) for information discs, a positioning module (3) for information discs and a holding module (4) for the package (1).
    In Figure 2 a perspective view is shown in which the container closure station has also been represented but in this case with a plurality of protectors (9). Said protectors (9) are arranged, as shown in the figure, around the mobile parts of the station to prevent accidents during operation. Figure 3 shows a different perspective of the
    container closing station and in it the frame (14) of the station and the stopper-sealing and placing machines of informative discs that conform it and that are integrated in said frame (14) are appreciated.
    5 Figure 4 shows the storage module (2). This comprises a rotating table (5) on which the information discs to be placed are supported and has the possibility of turning in a horizontal direction. Preferably, the information discs are arranged in columns (12) which in turn are kept in position because they are arranged in bars (22) that are part of the rotating table 10 (5). In the operating position of the machine, the bars (22) are inserted inside the columns (12), crossing the central part of the discs.
    A perspective view of the lower part of the storage module (2) is shown in Figure 5. The pinion mechanism can be seen in said drawing
    rack that controls the movement of the rotary table (5). Said mechanism
    it comprises a rack cylinder (10) that meshes with a pinion (11) such that when
    the rack cylinder (10) advances, rotates the pinon (11) that is attached to the rotary table (5), rotating it.
    twenty
    The rotary table movement is intended for the placement of a column (12) of information discs in a position facing the positioning module (3). The positioning module (3) takes an informative disk from said column (12) and places it in the container (1). When the discs in column (12) with which you are
    25 working is finished, the rotary table (5) is moved to place a new column
    (12) (full of discs) facing the positioning mechanism (3).
    In an exemplary embodiment, the storage module (2) may comprise a position sensor configured to send a braking signal to the rack pinion mechanism to detect when the corresponding working position has been reached (there is a column (12 ) of informative disks facing the positioning module (3)). At the moment in which said position is detected, the movement of the rotary table (5) is stopped and the position is anchored until the corresponding column (12) of rotating disks is forded.
    As can be seen in Figure 5, the storage module can additionally comprise a cylinder (13) disposed below the rotary table (5) with the possibility of vertical movement to move the information discs from the rotary table 5 (5) to the disk head (6).
    In another example of realization, the turntable (5) could rotate after each removal of information discs. That is, the information discs could be distributed in columns (12) so that the disk head (6) takes the information disc from one of the 10 columns (12), a rotation of the rotating table (5) is made until In the next position, the disk head (6) takes an informative disk from the new column (12) facing it and so on until the information discs of the storage module (2) run out.
    15 In an exemplary embodiment, the complete machine stops at the moment in which new information discs must be placed in the storage module (2) to avoid possible damage to the operators or the machine itself.
    Figure 6 shows part of the positioning module (3). More
    20 a disk head (6) can be seen specifically. Said head moves in
    vertical direction driven by a pneumatic cylinder to pick up the rotary table discs (5) and to place them in the valve of the container (1). Likewise, the positioning module (3) comprises a first actuator (7) on which the disk head (6) is mounted. This first actuator (7) is configured to rotate in the horizontal direction 25 so that the disk head (6) passes from a first position in the
    which is positioned on the information discs of the turntable (5) at a
    second position in which it is positioned on the cap-seal of the container (1).
    The positioning module (3) additionally comprises a ford system with a plurality of suction cups arranged in the disk head (6). Figure 6 shows a representation of the disk head (6) in which the position (24) in which the suction cups are arranged is shown. Said suction cups are in contact with the information discs when the disc head (6) is positioned on the rotating table (5) and moves down to take the information disc. When they come in contact
    Ford is applied to ensure the fixation of the informative disk until its positioning on the plug-seal. When it is placed in its final position it stops applying ford and the suction cups release the cap-seal. The disk head (6) preferably comprises a plurality of springs (23) that allow to control the moment of the union between the disk head (6) that moves downwards with the informative disk that it takes from the column (12) .
    When a column (12) has been finalized (no information discs remain), the rotary table (5) is rotated to place a new column (12) in the working position. The working position is the predetermined position known by the first actuator (7) of the disk head (6) and is where said disk head (6) is placed to take the information discs.
    When the first actuator (7) places the disk head (6) on the turntable (5), 15 facing an information disc, said disk head (6) descends until the information disc is picked up and returns to its position original. At that time, the first actuator (7) moves the disk head (6) until it is positioned on the packing cap. When the disc head (6) is already correctly positioned, it goes down and places the information disc in the cap-seal. At that time the disc head 20 (6) returns to its original position and begins the same cycle again.
    Figure 7 shows a zoom view showing the storage module (2) and the positioning module (3). In said drawing a disk head (6) is observed that has descended vertically and is picking up an informative disk 25 from the turntable (5) while another disk head (6) is placing another information disc on the plug-seal of a container (1).
    The clamping module (4) of the information disc setting machine comprises at least one jaw (8) mounted on a second actuator configured to maintain the position of the container (1) during the placement of the information disc.
    This embodiment is especially recommended for cases where the movement of the disk head (6) has a stroke that is not long enough.
    to be able to take the information discs that are in the positions closest to the turntable (5). For example, in cases where information discs are organized by forming columns (12), those that are in the upper positions of said columns (12) can be taken with the disk head (6) without any problem. 5 However, when several informative discs of a column have already been used and only those that are at lower levels remain, the disc head (6) may not have enough travel to reach them.
    In this described example, the cylinder (13) raises the information discs up to a certain height. In an example of realization, when half of the discs in the column (12) have already been used, the cylinder (13) is operated to raise the discs to the original height of the entire column (12).
    It is also an object of the present invention the closure station of containers for pressurized gases with a plug-seal on the outlet valve of the container (1) and an informative disk on the plug-seal as represented in Figures 1, 2 and 3.
    The station comprises a frame (14) in which all the elements 20 necessary for the placement of the cap-seal and the information disc in each container (1) are integrated.
    For the placement of the seal plugs, the station comprises a hopper for seal plugs connected to an inclined channel (15) along which the 25 seal plugs are moved by gravity to the lower end of said channel (15), a first vertical positioning cylinder (16) whose rod is located under the lower end of the channel (15) and at least a second cylinder (17) acting in combination with the first cylinder (16).
    30 This second cylinder (17) comprises a lower housing configured to frictionally accommodate and retain the plug-seal to be transferred to the positioning position. In addition, this second cylinder (17) has the possibility of rotating in a horizontal plane by means of a third actuator (19) so that the second cylinder (17) is alternately located in front of the plug to be pushed by the first cylinder (16) and in front of the
    container outlet valve (1).
    Likewise, the closing station comprises a braking element (20) that retains the container (1) in a fixed position during the placement of the cap-seal.
    5
    Following said elements, there is in the frame (14) a machine for placing information discs as previously described.
    For the movement of the containers (1) through the frame (14) of the closing station, a conveyor chain (21) can be arranged to move the container (1) from one end of the frame (14) to the opposite end of the frame (14).
    Thus, when the interior of the container (1) has been filled, it is placed in the conveyor chain (21) at the entrance of the frame (14) and begins its journey through the interior of the latter. When it is detected that the container (1) is aligned with the braking element (20) the third actuator (19) is actuated to stop the container (1) during the operation of placing the cap-seal (the second cylinder (17) it descends with the cap-seal placed in the lower housing). When the plug-seal has already been placed, the braking element (20) is released and the container (1) continues to move forward with the conveyor chain (21).
    When it is detected that the container (1) is aligned with the jaw (8), the second actuator is operated to hold the container (1) in a fixed position while placing the information disc on the cap-seal. This operation is performed with the articulated arm (6) that has the informative disk held by ford and when descending it is placed on the plug-seal. When the information disc has already been placed, the jaw (8) is released and the container (1) continues to move forward with the conveyor chain (21) until it leaves the frame (14).
    30
    The closure station of containers for pressurized gases can comprise a plurality of position sensors to detect the position of the containers (1) at each moment. This allows to control the moment in which the actuators corresponding to the brake element and the jaw are activated and at the moment in which
    move the first cylinder and the pneumatic arm down for the collection or placement of the seal plugs and information discs.
    Likewise, the closing station comprises at least one control unit to which the actuators and detectors are connected. With the control unit, all the processes of the closing station are managed.
