Description

State of the art

The invention relates to a method specified in the preamble of claim 1 type, a device specified in the preamble of claim 5 species, and a unit specified in the preamble of claim 10. Art.

Devices for providing labels in the form of film sleeves (also called sleeves) are used inter alia in equipment devices or labeling devices, for example in the beverage industry, for equipping objects, in particular for equipping containers.

The film sleeves are initially wound flat on a roll in the form of a continuous tube. The film tube or label tube is then unwound from the roll, fed to an expanding mandrel and pulled over this to widen the still flat film tube. From the then mostly tubular film tube individual film sleeves are cut off and in the course of servo-controlled drive rollers on a container, such as a bottle, applied and then evaporated, or z. B. shrunk by steam, or otherwise secured.

From the utility model DE 201 04 972 U1 For example, a device for unfolding a film tube and for cutting film sleeves is known. It describes, inter alia, how by means of a Auffaltdorns on a flat folded film tube is pulled in the axial direction and thereby widened in the radial direction, and arranged in the lower end of Auffaltdorns cutting device for circumferentially severing the unfolded film tube from the radial outer side, film sleeves can be produced.

The separated film sleeves can be ejected by means of drive rollers from the device or shot and thereby slipped over the objects to be labeled.

However, a disadvantage of the known systems and methods is, inter alia, that it can be very expensive to be able to ensure a sufficiently good seating accuracy and accuracy of fit of the film sleeves on the articles to be equipped within the scope of predetermined accuracy tolerances. In addition, known systems and methods are less flexible and sometimes particularly prone to failure if the objects to be equipped have a multiplicity of different shapes and orientations. An undesirable high reject rate due to incorrectly applied film sleeves can be the result. Faults due to alignment errors of the film sleeves or a high reject rate can lead to production interruptions, which can result in a loss of efficiency of the system.

task

It is therefore an object of the invention to improve a method and a device for equipping objects, in particular containers, with film sleeves, for example with regard to accuracy and / or simplicity and / or economy with the film sleeves can be applied to objects.

• • Separating a film sleeve from the film tube, z. B. at the at least one predetermined breaking point of the film tube, and simultaneously aligning the film sleeve, wherein the separation of the film sleeve from the film tube can be effected by the alignment of the film sleeve,
• Apply the aligned film sleeve to the article, e.g. B. on a / the container.

By aligning the film sleeve can be understood, for example, an alignment with respect to a predetermined or measured position or a predetermined or measured orientation of auszustattenden object, in particular, for example, a rotational orientation of the film sleeve about a longitudinal axis of the Auffalteinrichtung, z. B. about a longitudinal axis of a Auffaltdorns.

Combining separation and alignment of the film sleeve in a single integral operation of the alignment device, for example, increases speed and efficiency over prior art methods and systems Foil sleeve on an object, eg. As a container can be applied.

Such a method or a device which is configured to be able to carry out such a method offers over the known technique, for example, also the advantage that objects to be equipped need not be extravagantly aligned, but rather, for B. if necessary, at most only the orientation or position or position of the object to be equipped must be detected.

A method according to the invention or a device according to the invention can thus make it possible, for example, to provide a film sleeve or a label designed as a film sleeve aligned with an article to be equipped, or to apply it in a suitably aligned manner to an article to be equipped.

However, it is also conceivable that both the film sleeve and the object to be provided with the film sleeve are aligned with each other in order to achieve an even better positional accuracy in the application of the film sleeve to the object can.

As mentioned, the film tube or the label tube can be provided with at least one predetermined breaking point. The separation of the film sleeve from the film tube can z. B. at the at least one predetermined breaking point of the film tube.

The film tube, which can be provided, for example, as a flat folded film tube, for example, predetermined breaking points, z. As perforations, which may be located substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction or transversely to a transport direction of the film tube, and which at predetermined intervals, the z. B. the height or the length of the film sleeves (or sleeves or labels) may be located.

The use of predetermined breaking points in the film tube can facilitate the separation of the film sleeve from the film tube, for example by cutting or tearing off, and among other things z. B. more even and clean, z. B. less frayed, separating lines or separating edges of the film sleeves allow.

The film tube can be transported along the Auffalteinrichtung with rollers in the transport direction, d. H. z. B. are drawn in the axial direction over the Auffalteinrichtung. The film tube or the film sleeve can thus be widened in the radial direction. The transport of the film tube or a film sleeve along the film tube conveying direction or along the Auffalteinrichtung can be z. B. done by means of conveyor rollers. For example, at least one conveyor roller pair abut against the unfolding device and transport an intermediate film tube or an intermediate film sleeve.

The separation of the film sleeve from the film tube, z. B. at a predetermined breaking point / at the predetermined breaking points, can be effected or effected solely by the alignment of the film sleeve or by an alignment movement of the film sleeve.

The separation of the film sleeve from the film tube can thus be effected by aligning the film sleeve and z. B. comprise an alignment rotational movement of the film sleeve, in particular, for example, a Ausrichtdrehbewegung the film sleeve about the longitudinal axis of the Auffalteinrichtung, z. B. about the longitudinal axis of a Auffaltdorns.

The exemplary alignment movement, z. As an alignment rotational movement, the film sleeve, wherein the film sleeve z. B. before or at the beginning of Ausrichtbewegung and partially still during the alignment movement can be connected to the film tube, for example, cause the film sleeve separates from the film tube or the film sleeve breaks off the film tube, for example by tearing the predetermined breaking points of the film tube 1 the film sleeve, ie, for example, by tearing the perforations of the film tube / the film sleeve.

An exemplary alignment of the film sleeve can be otherwise z. B. also be continued beyond the process of a separation from the film tube.

Said alignment unit for aligning and at the same time separating a film sleeve from a film tube, the separation of the film sleeve from a film tube being effected by the alignment, can incidentally also be understood as a separate component separate from the device, for example with existing devices for application a film sleeve can be upgraded to an object.

That means z. B. that such an attachable to devices for applying a film sleeve on an object alignment unit can be designed as a rotation unit and in particular be configured to perform a rotational movement of a film sleeve about the longitudinal axis of a Auffalteinrichtung the device, wherein the rotational movement is a separation of the film sleeve of a film tube can cause.

As already mentioned, the described technique offers over the known technique for example, the advantage that Auszustattende objects do not need to be extravagant extra, but z. B. if necessary, at most only the orientation or position or position of the object to be equipped must be detected.

Also, z. B. summarizing separating and aligning the film sleeve in a single integral step of the alignment device to improve the economy over known methods and systems, since z. As the speed and efficiency with the film sleeve on an object, eg. As a container can be applied to the known technique can be improved.

This also increases z. Example, including the seat accuracy of the film sleeves on the objects to be equipped.
