- labelling devices are known in the packaging industry, these devices comprising a ticket or label issuing unit and a label applicator device comprising a label transporter which collects the label from the issuing unit and transports the label to an application station at which the label is applied to a package.
- a label transporter which collects the label from the issuing unit and transports the label to an application station at which the label is applied to a package.
- the movement of the transporter is governed by a preset control system which undergoes a preset and invariable routine. This routine is normally designed to handle the worst circumstance envisaged by the designer and accordingly does not provide efficient operation for other more common circumstances.
- a label applicator device comprises a telescopic arrangement pivotally mounted at one end on a fixed support and carrying a label transporter at its other end, pivotal drive means connected to the telescopic arrangement and drive means for effecting extension and retraction of the telescopic arrangement wherein control means are provided for measuring the extent of telescopic extension and controlling the telescopic drive means during retractive motion.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a label printer 15 associated with a label applicator device 16 which is arranged to collect printed labels from the printing station of the printer 15 and deliver these to a package to be labelled at an applicator station 29.
- Printer 15 comprises a print drum 20 to which is fed a carbon film 21 from a feed spool 22, the used film 21 being collected by a takeup spool 23.
- Adhesively backed labels are mounted on a label supply ribbon 25 fed from a label supply spool 24 and ribbon 25 is fed to the printing station adjoining drum 20, passes round anvil 26 at which the printed label 27 is released from the ribbon and the used ribbon, freed of its labels is collected by takeup spool 28.
- Ribbon 25 and film 21 pass over various guide rollers, at least one of which acts as a tension roller in each case.
- Applicator device 16 comprises a telescopic arm which at its upper end is pivotally mounted at 30 and at its lower end is provided with a label transporter 32 and device 16 is pivotally driven in a controlled manner so that transporter 32 can be presented to the printing station to collect the printed label 27 following its partial release from the label carrier ribbon 25 caused by anvil 26.

- the device 16 is pivotally moved into its vertical position where the transporter 32 is spaced from the printing station and the device 16 is then telescopically extended to move the transporter 32 in the direction M towards the applicator station 29 where the label carried by transporter 32 is affixed to a package.
- the package receives a label containing weight- related data and the printer 15 is accordingly controlled by a weighing device (not shown) prior to the package being delivered to the applicator station.
- the magnitude - of telescopic extension of the device 16 is determined by the physical size of the package which is an unknown quantity and which may vary from package to package.
- the present invention provides for measuring the extent of telescopic extension of the device 16 prior to the label being planted upon the package, this measure being used to control the telescopic drive system which in reverse operation effects telescopic retraction of the device 16. With this arrangement the time interval required for operation of the device 16 is minimised.
- transporter 32 comprises a sponge rubber pad 40 secured to a rigid carrier member 41 which in turn is pivotally mounted by means of shaft 42 on a block 43.
- Block 43 comprises a spigot 43A which extends along a glass cylinder 44 and is connected to a graphite piston located therein and which is pneumatically driven by an air supply fed to the interior of tube 44 by way of a coupling 45 at the top end of tube 44.
- Tube 44 is located at its lower end by a guide block 46 which is united by means of a pair of tie bars 47 (see Fig. 4) with an upper block 48, block 48 being pivotally mounted at 30 as previously described.
- coupling 45, block 48 and the top end of tube 44 are arranged to provide a pneumatic seal so that the chamber formed within tube 44 above the piston is leak- free and telescopic extension of the device 16 is effected either by pressurising this chamber or simply by releasing the vacuum pressure therein.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a label applicator device.
- Various forms of labelling devices are known in the packaging industry, these devices comprising a ticket or label issuing unit and a label applicator device comprising a label transporter which collects the label from the issuing unit and transports the label to an application station at which the label is applied to a package. In the known devices the movement of the transporter is governed by a preset control system which undergoes a preset and invariable routine. This routine is normally designed to handle the worst circumstance envisaged by the designer and accordingly does not provide efficient operation for other more common circumstances.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved form of label applicator device which, at least in part, is self-adaptive to provide substantially constant efficiency of operation under various different circumstances of use.
- According to the present invention a label applicator device comprises a telescopic arrangement pivotally mounted at one end on a fixed support and carrying a label transporter at its other end, pivotal drive means connected to the telescopic arrangement and drive means for effecting extension and retraction of the telescopic arrangement wherein control means are provided for measuring the extent of telescopic extension and controlling the telescopic drive means during retractive motion.
- An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Fig. 1 illustrates a labelling device incorporating a label applicator device in accordance with the present invention;
- Fig. 2 is a detailed sectional view of the label applicator device shown in Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a scrap sectional view of a detail in Fig. 2;
- Fig. 4 is a view of the label applicator device of Fig. 1 taken in the direction of arrow A in Fig. 1;
- Fig. 5 is illustrative of a further detail of Fig. 2; and
- Fig. 6 is a scrap sectional view of a still further detail of Fig. 2.
- In the drawings Fig. 1 illustrates a
label printer 15 associated with alabel applicator device 16 which is arranged to collect printed labels from the printing station of theprinter 15 and deliver these to a package to be labelled at anapplicator station 29. -
Printer 15 comprises aprint drum 20 to which is fed acarbon film 21 from afeed spool 22, the usedfilm 21 being collected by atakeup spool 23. Adhesively backed labels are mounted on alabel supply ribbon 25 fed from alabel supply spool 24 andribbon 25 is fed to the printingstation adjoining drum 20, passes roundanvil 26 at which the printedlabel 27 is released from the ribbon and the used ribbon, freed of its labels is collected bytakeup spool 28.Ribbon 25 andfilm 21 pass over various guide rollers, at least one of which acts as a tension roller in each case. -
Applicator device 16 comprises a telescopic arm which at its upper end is pivotally mounted at 30 and at its lower end is provided with alabel transporter 32 anddevice 16 is pivotally driven in a controlled manner so thattransporter 32 can be presented to the printing station to collect the printedlabel 27 following its partial release from thelabel carrier ribbon 25 caused byanvil 26. For thispurpose transporter 32 is suction operated. Also, anair nozzle 33 is provided indevice 15adjacent anvil 26 and arranged to blow the printed ticket towards thetransporter 32 to facilitate collection thereby of thelabel 27. Following label collection thedevice 16 is pivotally moved into its vertical position where thetransporter 32 is spaced from the printing station and thedevice 16 is then telescopically extended to move thetransporter 32 in the direction M towards theapplicator station 29 where the label carried bytransporter 32 is affixed to a package. In this connection it will be understood that the package receives a label containing weight- related data and theprinter 15 is accordingly controlled by a weighing device (not shown) prior to the package being delivered to the applicator station. When the package is in theapplicator station 29 the magnitude - of telescopic extension of thedevice 16 is determined by the physical size of the package which is an unknown quantity and which may vary from package to package. Accordingly in order to maximise efficiency of thedevice 16 the present invention provides for measuring the extent of telescopic extension of thedevice 16 prior to the label being planted upon the package, this measure being used to control the telescopic drive system which in reverse operation effects telescopic retraction of thedevice 16. With this arrangement the time interval required for operation of thedevice 16 is minimised. - As is more clearly shown in Fig. 2 which is a sectional view through
device 16,transporter 32 comprises asponge rubber pad 40 secured to arigid carrier member 41 which in turn is pivotally mounted by means ofshaft 42 on ablock 43.Block 43 comprises aspigot 43A which extends along aglass cylinder 44 and is connected to a graphite piston located therein and which is pneumatically driven by an air supply fed to the interior oftube 44 by way of acoupling 45 at the top end oftube 44. Tube 44 is located at its lower end by aguide block 46 which is united by means of a pair of tie bars 47 (see Fig. 4) with anupper block 48,block 48 being pivotally mounted at 30 as previously described. It will be appreciated thatcoupling 45,block 48 and the top end oftube 44 are arranged to provide a pneumatic seal so that the chamber formed withintube 44 above the piston is leak- free and telescopic extension of thedevice 16 is effected either by pressurising this chamber or simply by releasing the vacuum pressure therein. Because the piston is made of graphite and thetube 44 is made of glass a good quality seal is achieved between the piston and the glass which permits the piston to be held at the upper end of thetube 44 by means of suction only. - In order to guide the movement of
transporter 32 duringtelescopic extension block 43 is provided with a pair ofguide rods 50,51, located withinrespective guide tubes rods 50,51 being provided withbearing washers respective tubes Rubber buffers 56 are provided at each end ofrods 50,51 to eliminate shock loading at each end of the travel. - Rod 50 is provided at its upper end with a
latching arrangement 60 formed bynuts 61 secured to the rod 50 and a generally U-shapedplate 62 mounted for pivotal action and torsionally loaded in a clockwise direction by a spring (not shown), theplate 62 being mechanically interlocked by means of anadjoining support panel 63 having an aperture 64 through whichplate 62 is movable when thedevice 16 is in its vertical position. Accordinglylatch 60 provides that thedevice 16 is in its telescopically retracted condition when thedevice 16 is pivotally moved out of its vertical position towards the printing station. - In order to measure the magnitude of telescopic extension of
device 16 when in its verticalposition guide rod 51 is shaped along its length to provide a series ofteeth 65 andguide block 46 is provided with aphotocell arrangement 66 which counts the passage ofteeth 65 during each movement of thetransporter 32 in the direction M. Thephotocell arrangement 66 is more clearly illustrated in Fig. 3 which is a scrap sectional view on D-D of Fig. 2. Thearrangement 66 comprises a vertically spaced pair ofidentical devices 67 each guarded by awear plate 68 from possible damage by movement of theguide rod 51. The twophotocell devices 67 are depitched with respect toteeth 65 so that in addition to effecting a count of thepassing teeth 65 the direction of movement is also ascertained. - At its upper
end guide rod 51 carries amagnet 69 which activates aHall effect switch 70 mounted onblock 48 and acting as a condition sensor determining whether or notdevice 16 is in its telescopically extended or telescopically retracted condition. - Pivotal movement of
device 16 is effected by the drive arrangement shown in Figs. 4 and 5 which compriseselectric motor 72 with clutch andbrake unit 73 secured by means ofblock 74 to supportpanel 63. The output driven element of this arrangement is a circular disc 75 (Fig. 5) which projects through a slightlyelongated aperture 76 inpanel 63 and pivotally mounted ondisc 75 is alink arm 77, the pivotal mounting being at 78 which is eccentric with respect todisc 75. In Fig. 5link arm 77 is illustrated in a horizontal position but by virtue of the pivotal mounting at 78 ifdevice 16 were absent thisarm 77 would in fact pivot to a vertical position under the influence of gravity. The end ofarm 77 remote from 78 carries aspigot 79 which engages a socket (not shown) inblock 46 and becauseblock 46 is effectively pivotally mounted at 30 whendisc 75 is rotated in the direction of the arrow thereonspigot 79 moves with a substantially horizontal reciprocal action. Atransverse guide bar 80 extends throughblock 46 and is secured at its ends to posts mounted onpanel 63 so that pivotal movement ofdevice 16 is constrained to be substantially planar. Control of clutch andbrake unit 73 is effected by means of a pair ofmagnets disc 75 and alternately influencingHall effect switch 84 housed withinblock 74 so that rotational motion ofdisc 75 is effected in intermittent sequences each of 180°. This enablesdevice 16 to dwell in each of its extreme pivotal positions. Fine adjustment of this reciprocal drive arrangement is provided on the one hand by horizontal movement ofblock 74 and it is for this reason thatslot 76 is non-circular and by vertical movement of the socket which receivesspigot 79 and which is mounted onblock 46. - As is shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 6
block 46 supports a spring loadedball catch arrangement 86 the spring loaded ball of which engages a spherical depression inspigot 43A. - Angular position sensing of
device 16 is effected by aHall effect switch 90 mounted onpanel 63 and actuated by a magnet carried byblock 48. - Operation of the described arrangement is as follows. A package to which a label is to be attached is delivered by means (not shown) to the weighing device which in turn activates the
printer 15 to print the weight related data on thelabel 27. At this point thetransporter 32 is in abutment with acam 13 at the printing station which not only protects theprint drum 20 from damage but also pivots transporter 32 aboutpin 42, this pivotal action being limited by the chamfered portion ofcarrier member 41 which abutsblock 43, the spring loading onshaft 42 being in the clockwise direction in Fig. 1. The package is forwarded by means (not shown) to thelabel applicator station 29 and immediately following completion of label motion within printer 15 a control signal is issued to the electrical control circuitry (not shown) which causes suction to be applied to transporter 32 viafeed pipe 14 and an air blast to be delivered bynozzle 33 so thattransporter 32 collects the printed label. After a preset time interval an electrical signal is issued to clutch/brake unit 73 which rotatesdisc 75 through 180°, completion of this activity being sensed byHall effect switches disc 75 and simultaneously after a preset time interval cause pressurised air to be applied throughcoupling 45 to the chamber withintube 44 which causesspigot 43A to be released from theball catch arrangement 86 and this pressure is maintained for a preset duration so thattransporter 32 is accelerated downwardly in the direction M. At the end of this preset duration which can be made adjustable if so desired pressure is released fromcoupling 45 which is effectively opened to atmosphere so that continued downward movement oftransporter 32 occurs under the influence of gravity. Simultaneously with this release of pressure the suction applied to feedpipe 14 may also be released to permit the printed label simply to be pushed bytransporter 32 towards the awaiting package. On abutment with the package thetransporter 32 rebounds at least to a limited extent and this is sensed byphotocell arrangement 66 which then ceases counting of the downward movement ofguide bar 51 and immediately issues a control signal so that suction is applied throughcoupling 45 to the chamber withintube 44. This results in thedevice 16 being telescopically retracted and this suction is maintained untilswitch 70 produces a signal caused by the returned presence ofmagnet 69. Additionally to obtain a shock free landing of thedevice 16 in its retracted position the suction drive throughcoupling 45 is controlled in duration by the count signal previously obtained from thephotocell arrangement 66 during the extension movement of thedevice 16. At the end of the retraction movement thenuts 61 on guide rod 50abut plate 62 oflatch 60 causing the plate to be retracted from aperture 64 inpanel 63. The signal issued byswitch 70 is provided as an override to remove suction fromcoupling 45 and provides a drive signal to clutch/brake unit 73 to causedisc 75 to be again rotated through 180° causing return oftransporter 32 to the printing station there to await receipt of the next printed label.
