Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen von Etiketten auf runde Gefäße entsprechend dem Gattungbegriff des Hauptanspruchs.The present invention relates to a device for applying labels to round vessels in accordance with the preamble of the main claim.

Derartige Vorrichtungen sind beispielsweise aus der DE-B-22 03 996 bekannt. Zum Aufbringen der Etiketten sind aus Gründen der Leimersparnis bereits verschiedene Vorschläge gemacht worden, um eine Vollbeleimung der Etiketten überflüssig zu machen. Am bekanntesten ist die Beleimung in Streifenform.Such devices are known for example from DE-B-22 03 996. In order to save glue, various suggestions have already been made for applying the labels in order to make gluing the labels superfluous. The best known is gluing in strip form.

Man hat aber auch schon versucht,.insbesondere bei Rundumetiketten, nur den Etikettenanfang und das Etikettenende zu beleimen. Dies hat jedoch konstruktive Schwierigkeiten mit sich gebracht.However, attempts have also already been made to glue only the beginning and end of the label, particularly with all-round labels. However, this has brought with it constructive difficulties.

Ein Versuch, in gewohnter Weise Kaltleim zu verwenden und zu diesem Zweck den Etikettenkasten derart an der Leimwalze vorbeischwingen zu lassen, daß teils der Etikettenanfang, teils das Etikettenende mit Leim versehen wurde, ist daran gescheitert, daß die schwingenden Massen bei großen Stückzahlen sich. nicht beherrschen ließen.An attempt to use cold glue in the usual way and for this purpose to let the label box swing past the glue roller in such a way that part of the label start and part of the label end was provided with glue failed because the vibrating masses with large quantities failed. not be controlled.

Man ist dann dazu übergegangen, bei stillstehendem Etikettenkasten für den Etikettenanfang und das Etikettenende je ein Heißklebeaggregat zu verwenden, wobei die Dosen oder Gläser am Etikettenkasten vorbeilaufen und auf diese Weise mit Etiketten versehen werden. Ganz abgesehen davon, daß Heißkleber sehr viel teurer sind als Kaltleim und daß die zugehörigen Aggregate konstruktiv aufwendig sind, hat sich auch diese Art der Etikettenaufbringung bei hohen Stückzahlen nicht bewährt.One then went over to using a hot glue unit for the label start and the label end when the label box is stationary, the cans or jars running past the label box and being provided with labels in this way. Quite apart from the fact that hot glue is much more expensive than cold glue and that the associated units are structurally complex, this type of label application has not proven itself in large quantities.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Etikettiermaschine für Rundumetikettierung mit Anfang- und Endbeleimung für runde Gefäße, beispielsweise Dosen und Gläser, zu schaffen, bei welcher die Vorder- und Endbeleimung mit einem - Kaltleimwerk möglich ist und hohe Stückzahlen erreicht werden können.The invention has for its object to provide a labeling machine for all-round labeling with start and end gluing for round vessels, for example cans and glasses, in which the front and end gluing is possible with a - cold gluing unit and high quantities can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Etikettiervorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruchs angegebenen Mitteln erreicht.This object is achieved according to the invention in a labeling device of the type mentioned at the outset with the means specified in the characterizing part of the main claim.

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels des Erfindungsgegenstandes näher erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment of the subject matter shown in the drawing.

Wie Fig. 1 erkennen läßt, werden runde Gefäße 10, z. B. Dosen oder Gläser, die mit einem Rundumetikett versehen werden sollen, auf einem für die Zu- und Abfuhr der Gefäße bestimmten Förderband 11 in Pfeilrichtung durch die Etikettiervorrichtung geführt, wobei sie mittels einer Vereinzelungsschnecke 12 vor dem Eintritt in den eigentlichen Arbeitsbereich auf den erforderlichen gegenseitigen Abstand getrennt werden, um anschließend zwischen einem Antriebsriemen 13 und einer beispielsweise aus Schaumgummi bestehenden Wirkfläche 14 abrollend hindurchbewegt zu werden. Die Wirkfläche 14 befindet sich an einer Gegenhaltevorrichtung 15, die sich mittels einer Verstelleinrichtung 16 entsprechend dem Durchmesser der zu etikettierenden Gefäße hinsichtlich ihres Abstandes von dem Riemen 12 einstellen und festlegen läßt.As can be seen in Fig. 1, round vessels 10, z. B. cans or glasses that are to be provided with an all-round label, guided on a conveyor belt 11 intended for the supply and removal of the vessels in the direction of the arrow through the labeling device, using a separating screw 12 before entering the actual work area to the required mutual distance are separated, in order to then be rolled between a drive belt 13 and an active surface 14, for example made of foam rubber. The active surface 14 is located on a counter-holding device 15, which can be adjusted and set by means of an adjusting device 16 according to the diameter of the vessels to be labeled with regard to their distance from the belt 12.

Die Etiketten 17 sind in einem Etikettenkasten 18 gestapelt, werden mittels einer Etikettenentnahme und Übertragungstrommel 20 von an einem Leimwerk 19 beleimten Trommelsegmenten 21 und 22 zu einem Abstreifer 23', der in der Nähe einer Umkehrrolle 23 des Antriebsriemens 13 angeordnet ist, verbracht und von dem Antriebsriemen 13 gegen die Gefäße 10 gedrückt. Die Gefäße drehen sich zwischen Riemen 13 und Gegenfläche 14, 15, so daß bei einer vollen Drehung eines Gefäßes das Etikett rundherum aufgebracht ist. Das Leimwerk 19 hat einen Flaschenfühler 24. Gegenüber der Vereinzelungsschnecke 12 befindet sich eine Sicherheitsklappe 25. Ein Stopper 26 dient gegebenenfalls zum sofortigen Außerbetriebsetzen der Anlage.The labels 17 are stacked in a label box 18, are taken by means of a label removal and transfer drum 20 from drum segments 21 and 22 glued to a gluing unit 19 to a stripper 23 ', which is arranged in the vicinity of a reversing roller 23 of the drive belt 13, and from which Drive belt 13 pressed against the vessels 10. The vessels rotate between the belt 13 and the counter surface 14, 15, so that the label is applied all around when a vessel rotates fully. The glue unit 19 has a bottle sensor 24. A safety flap 25 is located opposite the singling screw 12. A stopper 26 is used, if necessary, for the immediate shutdown of the system.

In Fig. 1 sind je zwei Segmente 21 und 22 dargestellt, so daß bei einer Umdrehung der Trommel 20 zwei Gefäße mit Etiketten versehen werden können. Dadurch kommt man bei 250 Umdrehungen pro Minute auf eine Leistung von 30 000 Stück pro Stunde.In Fig. 1 two segments 21 and 22 are shown, so that two vessels can be provided with labels with one revolution of the drum 20. This means that at 250 revolutions per minute the output is 30,000 pieces per hour.

Die Segmente 21 dienen zur Vorderbeleimung, die Segmente 22 zur Endbeleimung von Rundumetiketten. Dazu werden die Segmente 21 und 22 am Leimwerk 19 in an sich bekannter Weise mit Kaltleim bestrichen, wobei das bewegliche Segment 21 unter dem Einfluß der Steuerkurve 30 nacheinander verschiedene Phasen durchläuft und dabei verschiedene Arbeitsstellungen A bis F durchläuft, die im einzelnen in Fig. bis 7 dargestellt sind.The segments 21 are used for front gluing, the segments 22 for final gluing of all-round labels. For this purpose, the segments 21 and 22 on the gluing unit 19 are coated with cold glue in a manner known per se, the movable segment 21 passing through different phases in succession under the influence of the control curve 30 and runs through different working positions A to F, which are shown in detail in FIGS.

In Fig. 2 (Stellung A) bewirkt die Kurvenführung über einen Nocken 35 einen Vorwärtsschwenk des Segments 21 auf das Vorderende des Etiketts 17 zu.In FIG. 2 (position A), the curve guidance causes the segment 21 to pivot forward toward the front end of the label 17 via a cam 35.

In Fig. 3 (Stellung B) erkennt man, wie das gegenüber dem Vorderende des Etiketts angekommene Segment an den Etikettenstapel herangeführt ist, und zwar wieder unter dem Einfluß der Steuerkurve 30 und des Hebelgestänges 32, 33, 34, dessen innere Drehpunkte 39 und 40 auf einem Teilkreis verbleiben.In Fig. 3 (position B) it can be seen how the segment arriving towards the front end of the label is brought up to the label stack, again under the influence of the control curve 30 and the lever linkage 32, 33, 34, the inner pivot points 39 and 40 remain on a pitch circle.

In Fig. 4 (Stellung C) ist das Segment in den Etikettenstapel eingedrückt.In Fig. 4 (position C) the segment is pressed into the stack of labels.

In Fig. 5 (Stellung D) bewirkt der Gegennocken 36 in der Steuerkurve, daß das Segment 21 sich nicht nur mit dem Etikett 17 abzuheben beginnt, sondern gleichzeitig auch eine kurze Rückwärtsbewegung ausführt, um über die Nase 37 am Etikettenkasten 18 hinweggleiten zu können.In Fig. 5 (position D), the counter cam 36 in the control cam causes the segment 21 not only to start to lift off with the label 17, but also to perform a short backward movement at the same time in order to be able to slide over the nose 37 on the label box 18.

In Fig. 6 (Stellung E) ist die Grundstellung des Segments 21 erreicht, das sich wieder vorwärts bewegt und das Etikett 17 über den Umfang der Anlegertrommel 20 mitnimmt.In Fig. 6 (position E) the basic position of the segment 21 is reached, which moves forward again and takes the label 17 along the circumference of the feed drum 20.

In Fig.7 (Stellung F) schließlich ist das Segment 21 mit dem beleimten Vorderende des Etiketts 17, das den vom Leimwerk 19 auf das Segment aufgegebenen Leim nun an das Etikett abgegeben hat, an einem Abstreifer 23' angelangt, wo das Etikett zwischen einen um eine Umlenkrolle 23 laufenden Antriebsriemen 13 und ein Gefäß 10 gebracht wird.Finally, in FIG. 7 (position F), the segment 21 with the glued front end of the label 17, which has now released the glue applied to the segment by the gluing unit 19, has reached a stripper 23 ', where the label between one around a deflection roller 23 running drive belt 13 and a vessel 10 is brought.

Das Gefäß 10 rollt zwischen Antriebsriemen 13 und Gegenfläche 14 ab, wobei es vom Etikett 17 umschlungen wird. In zwischen ist das feste Segment 22 gegenüber dem Etikettenende angelangt, um es anschließend zwischen der Anlegertrommel 20 und einer Andruckrolle 29 zu beleimen und bis zum Abstreifer 23' mitzunehmen, wo das Etikettenende ebenso wie vorher das Vorderende auf das Gefäß gelangt.The vessel 10 rolls between the drive belt 13 and the counter surface 14, with the label 17 wrapping it around it. In the meantime, the fixed segment 22 has reached the end of the label, in order to then glue it between the feed drum 20 and a pressure roller 29 and to take it to the stripper 23 ', where the label end, as before, reaches the front end of the container.

In Fig. und 9 sind konstruktive Einzelheiten des beweglichen Segments 21 und des Hebelgestänges 32, 33, 34 mit den Gelenkpunkten 39 und 40 sowie ihre Bezugslage zur Anlegertrommel 20 und zum Leimwerk 19 angedeutet.In Fig. And 9, structural details of the movable segment 21 and the lever linkage 32, 33, 34 with the hinge points 39 and 40 and their reference position to the feed drum 20 and the gluing unit 19 are indicated.

Die Vorteile einer erfindungsgemäßen Etikettiermaschine für Rundumetiketten mit Anfangs- und Endbeleimung von Dosen und Gläsern sind vor allem folgende :

  • Die Vorder- und Endbeleimung erfolgt mit einem Kaltleimwerk 19 statt mit aufwendigen Heißklebeaggregaten.
The advantages of a labeling machine according to the invention for all-round labels with initial and final gluing of cans and glasses are the following in particular:
  • The front and end gluing takes place with a cold gluing unit 19 instead of with expensive hot glue units.

Es wird eine Leimersparnis von 85 % bis 90 % gegenüber Streifen- oder Vollbeleimung erreicht.A glue saving of 85% to 90% compared to strip or full gluing is achieved.

Die Gefäße 10 werden stehend geradlinig durch die Maschine geführt, daher ein geringer Raumbedarf und einfacher Maschinenaufbau.The vessels 10 are guided in a straight line through the machine, therefore a small space requirement and simple machine construction.

Es genügen einfache Übertragungselemente vom Etikettenkasten 18 zum Gefäß 10 ; daher nicht nur geringes Trägheitsmoment, sondern auch schnelle Umstellung auf verschiedene Etikettenformate.Simple transmission elements from the label box 18 to the vessel 10 are sufficient; therefore not only a low moment of inertia, but also a quick changeover to different label formats.

Es ist eine waagerechte und senkrechte Signierung auf der Etikettenvorderseite am Anleger 20 mittels Dateur 28 od. dgl. möglich.Horizontal and vertical signing on the front of the label on the feeder 20 by means of a file 28 or the like is possible.

Es kann am Anleger 20 auch ein Codeleser 27 angebracht werden.A code reader 27 can also be attached to the feeder 20.

Der stillstehende Etikettenkasten 18 vermeidet schwingende Masse und ermöglicht leichtes Einlegen von langen Etiketten während des Betriebs.The stationary label box 18 avoids vibrating mass and enables easy insertion of long labels during operation.

Die Gefäße 10 werden während des gesamten Etikettiervorganges gehalten und geführt.The containers 10 are held and guided during the entire labeling process.
