Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for labeling individually consecutive goods by step-by-step feeding and sticking of individually evenly releasably adhering labels on a label tape in synchronism with the goods flow, in which a bobbin is produced from the label tape, the label tape is pulled off the bobbin and the labels individually one after the other, in each case a few cycles before the label is detached from the label tape, are guided past a rotary printing station and there are provided with an adjusted rotary printing.
  • the invention also relates to a device for labeling a sequence of goods passing through by step-by-step feeding and attaching of printed labels, each of which is individually and releasably adhering to one another on a label tape, with a reel storage for a label tape reel, a label transporter for feeding the label tape pulled off the reel to a tacking station a stepper drive that can be operated in time with the goods passing through and a rotary printing unit directed towards the free side of the labels, the printing drum of which can be driven in the direction of conveyance by a label sensor that senses a continuous label is triggered for each label and with regard to the printing position by adjusting the label sensor in the direction of conveyance and adjustment of the printing types in the axial direction on the printing drum is adjustable, in particular for carrying out said method.
  • the labels often have an elaborate basic print serving as an advertising print or the like. This basic pressure is the same for many different goods.
  • a rotary print is applied that is specific to the product in question and, for example, indicates a product number encoded in a bar code that can be sensed by a photo optic. When other goods are labeled, this pressure must be replaced and of high quality so that no errors occur during decoding. This is the reason why this print is only printed on the label in a rotary process shortly before the label is detached from the label tape.
  • a decoder can determine price, expiry date and the like. With changing prices and expiry dates ", the decoder is changed accordingly. This is but then for the customer who selects the so-labeled goods in a Wa-renhaus, unreadable. For this reason, should such interesting for the customer information, such as the price and the expiry date, legibly printed, as is even legally required in different states. This could be done together with the rotary printing, but this has not proven itself because the prices and also the expiry dates for goods of the same commodity number change from day to day change and it is difficult and cumbersome to switch the rotary printing unit to another print.
  • a planographic printing unit is provided, the printing stamp of which is directed onto the surface of a label located in the rest position on the label conveyor, for which on the opposite side, a counter pressure plate is provided so that the planographic printing unit can be pushed to a printing stroke for each feed step of the label transporter and can be adjusted in a crossed guide in the conveying direction across the label plane relative to the printing position of the rotary printing unit.
  • variable fast, product-specific information is imprinted, where you can take the somewhat poor quality of the F laughing pressure into account, because this information must be readable by the client only visually.
  • devices for planographic printing can be converted very easily to another print, for example in the manner of the known numbering stamps.
  • the planographic printing is adjusted in relation to the already adjusted rotary printing and an adjustment option for the planographic printing in two crossed directions over the label level is sufficient.
  • FIG. 1, 1 denotes a reel store on which a label reel reel 2 is rotatably mounted.
  • the label tape 3 drawn off from this label tape bobbin consists of a carrier tape 4, on which self-adhesive labels 5, which are of the same size, are lined up one behind the other with the same spacing.
  • the labels 5 are provided with a colored basic print 6, which is marked crossed in FIG. 2.
  • the label belt 3 runs on a label conveyor 7 to a tacking station 8, is deflected there at a stationary deflection edge 9 at a sharp angle and thereby releases its labels, as drawn for the label 10, and is wound up empty into the reel 11.
  • the drive roller 1 2 is used, which, as indicated by the dashed line, is driven by the continuously running drive motor 1 4 in the direction of the arrow via a coupling 13 and thereby pulls through the label strip 3.
  • a belt conveyor 15 extends below the label conveyor 7, on the upper run 16 of which packet-shaped goods 17 , 18 are guided past the attachment station 8 in the direction of the arrow.
  • a contactless sensor 19, for example a photocell, is directed into the path of the goods 17, 18 and, when a goods 18 is detected, sends a switching pulse to a control unit 20 via the dash-dotted line.
  • the control unit 20 controls the normally released clutch 13 and couples this briefly for a feed step of the label tape.
  • the label strip 3 moves one label position further, so that, for example, the label 21 comes into the position of the label 22.
  • the associated time delay is dimensioned such that the label feed thereby triggered at the tacking station 8 is the one which is kept ready. Dispenses label 10 to the goods 17 which triggered this feed step.
  • the label loosens from the label tape due to its rigidity and attaches itself to the goods and is pressed there by an only indicated, flexible pressure roller 23 when the goods 17 continue to run.
  • a rotary printing unit is designated, which is attached to a fixed frame part 25.
  • a non-contact sensor is referred to, for example a photocell, which is directed from above onto the path of the labels and when a new label occurs a signal can reach a magnetically actuated clutch 27 and actuates it, so that the pressure cylinder 28 then one completes full rotation and thereby applies the rotary pressure to the label 29 just passing by.
  • the counter pressure roller 30 is used for the counter pressure of the pressure cylinder 28.
  • the drive of the pressure cylinder 28 is derived from the drive unit 14, as indicated by a broken line.
  • the rotary print 31 is represented in FIG. 2 by a line sequence which is intended to identify a bar code.
  • a flat printing unit 35 is arranged on the frame part 25, which is directed with its flat printing stamp 36 onto the surface of a label 37.
  • a counter-pressure plate 38 is fixed stationary on the frame part 25 opposite the planographic stamp 36.
  • the flat printing unit 35 is fixed in a crossed dovetail guide 39 on the frame part 25, so that it can be displaced there both in the direction of the double arrow 32 and in the direction of the double arrow 34 on the label surface and so adjusted that the atums- in Figure 2 by D and Pricing marked flat print 40 can be positioned exactly on the label.
  • the planographic printing stamp 36 can be moved by a lifting magnet 42 against the force of a return spring 43 in the direction of arrow 44 to a pressure stroke.
  • the solenoid 42 is excited simultaneously with the clutch 13 by the control unit 20, as indicated by a dash-dotted line, so that the planographic printing takes place just when the label tape has been stopped.
  • the planographic printing stamp 36 has a total of three lines, each with six adjustable numberers 50.
  • the character string 0 to 9 ... can be set on each of the numberers, so that character strings can be printed in several lines.
  • the respective character strings can be conveniently set on the handles 51 by hand.
  • an ink ribbon for the printing ink and with 53 a housing of the planographic printing unit 35 is designated.
  • This housing 53 is fastened in the crossed dovetail guide 39 to the frame part 25.
  • a dovetail guide 55 allows displaceability in the direction of arrow 34 and the other dovetail guide 56 in the direction of arrow 32.
  • manually operable catches 57, 58 are provided in order to fix the setting once obtained.
  • planographic printing unit 35 is also adjustable in a further dovetail guide 45 on the frame part 25, so that it can be adjusted to different types of printing.
  • Printing blocks 4 1 can be exchangeably attached to the circumference of the printing cylinder 28.
  • the printing block moves past a rotating ink transfer roller 60 with each revolution of the printing cylinder 28 and takes up ink from a dye dispenser (not shown).
  • the printing cylinder 28 rotates in the direction of the arrow, that is to say with a circumferential direction corresponding to the direction in which the labels 29 pass through, and completes a complete revolution for each label from the position shown in FIG. 4 to the position shown in FIG. 4.
  • This rest position is secured by a rotating stop 62 which strikes a stationary counterstop 61.
  • the counter stop 6 1 can be pivoted against the force of a return spring 63 by an electromagnet 64 in the direction of the arrow, so that it gets out of the way of the stop and releases it for one revolution.
  • the electromagnet 64 like the solenoid 42, is connected to an excitation current source 71, 72 via a normally open relay switch 65, 66.
  • the two normally open relays 65, 66 are, as can also be seen from FIG. 6, closed briefly by the control unit 20 as a function of the tactile impulses of the sensor 19 for each cycle.
  • the pressure cylinder 28 is plugged onto the shaft 68 via a slip clutch 67, which in turn is driven continuously by the drive motor 14 in the direction of the arrow.
  • the D jerk cliche 41 can on the printing cylinder 28 in the direction of the double arrow 70 for adjustment according to the double arrow 3 4 be shifted forth and back.
  • a stepping motor can be provided instead of the continuously rotating drive motor 1 4. Then the clutch 13 becomes dispensable and instead of the clutch 13 the motor is triggered in one step.
  • hydraulic and pneumatic drive and adjustment members can also be provided.
  • the printing units can be set on labels of different sizes and shapes.
