US 9,976,669 B2 · Container treatment plant and method for displacing a valve or a diverting unit of a container treatment plant

Abstract

A container treatment plant and a method for displacing an element of a valve or a diverting unit of a container treatment plant. The container treatment plant comprises at least one element for treating containers. The element is part of a valve or a diverting unit. The container treatment plant also comprises a displacing unit for displacing the element between a first position and a second position, wherein the displacing unit comprises a magnetically operating actuator such that a rotary motion caused by the actuator displaces the element with the aid of a mechanism between its first and second positions.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A container treatment plant comprising:

at least one element for treating containers, wherein the element is part of a valve;
and
a displacing unit for displacing the element between a first position and a second position,
wherein the displacing unit comprises a magnetically operating actuator such that a rotary motion caused by the actuator displaces the element with the aid of a mechanism between a first position and a second position,
and wherein the valve is a valve selected from the group consisting of a filling valve of a filling unit for filling at least one medium in a container and a blowing valve of a stretch blow molding machine.

2 more elements

A container treatment plant comprising:

at least one element for treating containers, wherein the at least one element is part of a diverting unit;
and
a displacing unit for displacing the at least one element between a first position and a second position,
wherein the displacing unit comprises a magnetically operating actuator such that a rotary motion caused by the actuator displaces the element with the aid of a mechanism between a first position and a second position
wherein a plurality of diverting units are arranged in one row side by side to each other, and
wherein a cam disc drivable by the actuator is positioned in such a way relative to the row of diverting units that a rotation of the cam disc around an axis of the cam disc causes, by a rotation of the actuator, that every cam of the cam disc one after the other touches one of the diverting units and transfers the diverting unit corresponding therewith into a linear motion, to move the diverting unit from the first position into the second position.
