Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren zum Formen und Etikettieren von Verpackungsbehältern nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Bei einem beispielsweise aus der DE 29 43 076 A1 bekannten Verfahren dieser Art werden die Etiketten mit einer Übergabeeinrichtung an definierter Stelle in ein Formwerkzeug zum Tiefziehen von napfförmigen Verpackungsbehältern eingelegt und mittels Unterdruck darin fixiert. Anschließend wird eine zuvor erwärmte Zone einer Kunststoff-Folienbahn in das Formwerkzeug eingeformt, so daß in der Endphase des Formens der Behälter die Etiketten mit ihren klebstoffbeschichteten Seiten an den Mantelflächen der Verpackungsbehälter anhaften. Nachteilig bei nach diesem Verfahren arbeitenden Vorrichtungen ist, daß das Formwerkzeug aufwendig aufgebaut ist, da es Unterdruckanschlüsse zum Ansaugen der Etiketten an das Formwerkzeug aufweist, sowie zum Einbringen der Etiketten auf- und abbewegt werden muß. Weiterhin ist die Vorrichtung relativ schlecht zugänglich, da die Übergabeeinrichtung für die Etiketten in unmittelbarer Nähe des Formwerkzeugs angeordnet ist.The invention is based on a method for molding and labeling of packaging containers according to the preamble of the claim 1. In one example from DE 29 43 076 A1 known methods of this type are the labels with a transfer device at a defined point in a Forming tool for deep-drawing cup-shaped Packaging containers inserted and by means of negative pressure in them fixed. Then a previously heated zone becomes one Plastic film is molded into the mold so that in the final phase of forming the container with the labels their adhesive-coated sides on the lateral surfaces of the Adhere the packaging container. Disadvantageous after this Process devices is that Mold is complex because it Vacuum connections for sucking the labels onto the Has molding tool, as well as for inserting the labels must be moved up and down. Furthermore, the device relatively difficult to access because the transfer device for the labels in the immediate vicinity of the mold is arranged.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Formen und Etikettieren von Verpackungsbehältern mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß das Anbringen der Etiketten auf den Mantelflächen der Verpackungsbehälter außerhalb des Formwerkzeugs erfolgt, wodurch die Zugänglichkeit der Etikettiervorrichtung bei nach diesem Verfahren arbeitenden Vorrichtungen verbessert ist. The inventive method for molding and labeling Packaging containers with the characteristic features of the Claim 1 has the advantage that the attachment of the labels on the outer surfaces of the packaging containers is done outside of the mold, causing the Accessibility of the labeling device at after this Process working devices is improved.
Eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 2 zum Durchführen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens hat den Vorteil, daß der Aufbau des Formwerkzeugs vereinfacht ist, da beispielweise keine Teilungen oder Saugkanäle für einen Unterdruckanschluß im Formwerkzeug vorgesehen werden müssen.A device with the features of claim 2 for Carrying out the method according to the invention has the Advantage that the structure of the mold is simplified because, for example, there are no divisions or suction channels for one Vacuum connection must be provided in the mold.
Durch die in den Unteransprüchen angegebenen Merkmale sind Verbesserungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung möglich. Besonders rationell können die Etiketten bevorratet werden, wenn diese in Rollenform bereitgestellt werden. Ein sicheres Anbringen der Etiketten auf den Verpackungsbehältern wird durch zwei Andrückwalzen je Verpackungsbehälter erzielt.By the features specified in the subclaims Improvements and developments of the invention Device possible.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigen Fig.1 eine Vorrichtung zum Etikettieren von Verpackungsbehältern vereinfacht und schematisch in Draufsicht, Fig.2 die Vorrichtung nach Fig.1 in einem Schnitt in der Ebene II-II der Fig.1, Fig.3 einen Teil der Vorrichtung nach Fig.1 vereinfacht in perspektivischer Ansicht und die Fig.4 bis Fig.7 einen Teil der Vorrichtung in vereinfachter Draufsicht während aufeinanderfolgender Phasen beim Anbringen eines Etiketts an einem Verpackungsbehälter.An embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown and is described in more detail in the following description explained. 1 shows a device for labeling of packaging containers simplified and schematically in Top view, Figure 2, the device of Figure 1 in one Section in the plane II-II of Fig.1, Fig.3 a part of 1 simplified in perspective View and the Fig.4 to Fig.7 a part of the device in a simplified top view during successive Phases of attaching a label to one Packaging container.
In eine Folienbahn 10 aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff sind
Verpackungsbehälter in Form von Näpfen 11 in beispielsweise
acht in Förderrichtung parallel angeordneten Reihen 12 bis
19 in quer bzw. längs jeweils gleichen Abständen a, b
zueinander eingeformt. Die Näpfe 11 sind mit einem
Lebensmittel, zum Beispiel mit Joghurt gefüllt, und mittels
einer nicht dargestellten Deckelfolie dicht verschlossen.
Die Folienbahn 10 wird taktweise mittels einer ebenfalls
nicht dargestellten Fördereinrichtung in den Bereich einer
Etikettiervorrichtung 20 gefördert.In a
Die Etikettiervorrichtung 20 hat unterhalb der Folienbahn 10
und der Näpfe 11 einen Etikettenspeicher in Form von acht
senkrecht angeordneten Etikettenrollen 21. Auf jeder
Etikettenrolle 21 sind Etiketten 22 für die Mantelflächen
der Näpfe 11 einstückig miteinander verbunden, und in Form
eines Etikettenstreifens 26 aufgerollt. Die Etiketten 22
sind beim Ausführungsbeispiel einseitig und vollflächig mit
Klebstoff beschichtet. Die Etikettenrollen 21 sind in zwei
paralellen Reihen 23, 24 mit je vier Etikettenrollen 21
seitlich der Folienbahn 10 angeordnet, so daß der Abstand c
zwischen den acht abgerollten Etikettenstreifen 26 in
Förderrichtung jeweils dem entsprechenden Abstand b zweier
Näpfe 11 in Förderrichtung entspricht. Um zu gewährleisten,
daß dieser Abstand c zwischen den einzelnen
Etikettenstreifen 26 auch beim durch den Verbrauch von
Etiketten 22 verändertem, geringerem Durchmesser der
Etikettenrollen 21 stets gleich bleibt, ist jeder
Etikettenrolle 21 jeweils eine ortsfeste Abstandsrolle 27
zugeordnet, über die die Etikettenstreifen 26 geführt
werden.The
Jeder Etikettenrolle 21 ist eine Abzieheinrichtung in Form
je eines beispielsweise pneumatisch betriebenen Greifers 25
zugeordnet. Die Greifer 25 sind quer zur Förderrichtung der
Folienbahn 10 in der Ebene der Etikettenrollen 21 zwischen
zwei Positionen bewegbar. In der einen Position zum Abrollen
von Etiketten 22 von den Etikettenrollen 21 sind die Greifer
25 in unmittelbarer Nähe der Abstandsrollen 27. In der
anderen Position, in der die Etiketten 22 als
Etikettenstreifen 26 von den Etikettenrollen 21 abgerollt
sind, befinden sich die Greifer 25 teilweise seitlich neben
der Folienbahn 10 und gegenüber den Etikettenrollen 21.
Dabei ist der Vorschubweg der Folienbahn 10 so gewählt, daß
die Näpfe 11 in Förderrichtung betrachtet im Bereich
zwischen den Vorzugbahnen der Greifer 25 bzw. den
Etikettenstreifen 26 zum Stillstand kommen.Each
Unterhalb der Etikettenrollen 21 befinden sich im Bereich
der Folienbahn 10 zwei zwischen zwei Endpositionen auf- und
abbewegbare, in Stangen 28 geführte Platten 30, 31. Auf den
Platten 30, 31 sind den Etiketten 22 bzw. den Näpfen 11
zugeordnete Sauger 32 angeordnet. Die Zuordnung der Sauger
32 zu den Etiketten 22 bzw. den Näpfen 11 ist derart, daß
quer zur Förderrichtung jedem zweiten Napf 11 der Folienbahn
10 ein Sauger 32 zugeordnet ist. Weiterhin sind die Sauger
32 in Förderrichtung von einem zum anderen Etikettenstreifen
26 um jeweils einen Napf 11 zueinander versetzt angeordnet.
Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Breite der Etiketten 22 bzw.
der Abstand der Reihen 12 bis 19 der Näpfe 11 so gewählt,
daß die Mitte der Etiketten 22 jedes Etikettenstreifens 26
jeweils mit der Mitte des zugeordneten Saugers 32 und des
Napfes 11 fluchtet.Below the
Die Sauger 32 haben eine längliche Form, die die Höhe der
Etiketten 22 größtenteils überragt. Die Saugschlitze der
Sauger 32 sind mittels in den Platten 30, 31 ausgebildeter
Kanäle 33 mit einer nicht dargestellten, gesteuerten
Unterdruckquelle verbunden. In der unteren Endposition der
Platten 30, 31 befinden sich die Sauger 32 in Höhe der
Etikettenzuführung, und in der oberen Endposition befinden
sie sich in Höhe und in unmittelbarer Nähe der Mantelflächen
der Näpfe 11. The
Jedem Sauger 32 bzw. jedem Etikett 22 ist je eine
Schneideinrichtung 34 zugeordnet, die beispielsweise an den
beiden seitlichen Rändern jedes Etiketts 22 jeweils ein
Messer 35 umfaßt. Die auf- und abbewegbaren Messer 35
durchdringen die Platten 30, 31 in Aussparungen 36.Each
In Höhe der Mantelflächen der Näpfe 11 hat jeder Sauger 32
eine Andrückvorrichtung 40 für die Etiketten 22. Die
Andrückvorrichtung 40 ist auf dem Gestell der
Etikettiervorrichtung 20 befestigt und durchdringt die
Platten 30, 31 in nicht dargestellten Aussparungen. Zur
Andrückvorrichtung 40 gehören in paralleler Ausrichtung mit
den Mantelflächen der Näpfe 11 beiderseits jedes Saugers 32
je eine um ihre Längsachse drehbeweglich angeordnete
Andrückwalze 41, die unterhalb der Näpfe 11 mittels einer
Zugfeder 42 kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind.
Unterhalb der Zugfeder 42 wälzen sich die Mantelflächen der
Andrückwalzen 41 auf einer zwischen ihnen angeordneten,
angetriebenen Exzenterscheibe 43 ab. Die Form der
Exzenterscheibe 43 ist dabei der Form der Mantelfläche bzw.
dem Durchmesser der Näpfe 11 angepaßt. Weiterhin ist die
Drehgeschwindigkeit der Exzenterscheibe 43 auf die
Vorschubgeschwindigkeit der Folienbahn 10 abgestimmt.Each
Die oben beschriebene Vorrichtung zum Etikettieren von
Verpackungsbehältern, wie beispielsweise Näpfen 11,
funktioniert wie folgt:
In einer ersten Grundstellung der Etikettiervorrichtung 20
befinden sich die beiden Platten 30, 31 in ihrer unteren
Endposition, so daß sich die auf ihnen angeordneten Sauger
32 in Höhe der Etikettenrollen 21 befinden. Zum Abziehen der
Etikettenstreifen 26 von den Etikettenrollen 21 werden die
Greifer 25 nahe den Abstandsrollen 27 verfahren und durch
eine entsprechende Ansteuerung der Greifer 25 die Enden der
Etikettenstreifen 26 erfasst. Anschließend werden die
Greifer 25 quer zur Förderrichtung der Folienbahn 10 in ihre
jeweilige Endlage gegenüber den Abstandsrollen 27 verfahren.
Ist dies erfolgt, werden über eine entsprechende Ansteuerung
der Unterdruckquelle die Sauger 32 aktiviert, so daß die
Etiketten 22 in ihrem jeweiligen Mittelbereich von den
zugeordneten Saugern 32 angesaugt und festgehalten werden.
Während des Abrollens der Etiketten 22 von den
Etikettenrollen 21 wird gleichzeitig die Folienbahn 10 über
die Etikettiervorrichtung 20 verfahren, so daß in
Förderrichtung gesehen die Näpfe 11 unmittelbar vor den
jeweils zugeordneten Etiketten 22 zum Stillstand kommen. Bei
der gewählten Anordnung der Näpfe 10, Etikettenstreifen 26
und Sauger 32 wird der erste Vorschubweg der Folienbahn 10
so gewählt, daß die (nicht etikettierten) Näpfe 11 in
Förderrichtung betrachtet unmittelbar vor dem drittletzten
der acht Etikettenstreifen 26 zum Stillstand kommen.
Nun werden die Platten 30, 31 in ihre obere Endlage
verfahren, so daß sich die Sauger 32 bzw. die Etiketten 22
in Höhe der ihnen zugeordneten Mantelflächen der Näpfe 11
befinden. Vor oder während des Hochfahrens der Platten 30,
31 werden die Etiketten 22 von den Etikettenstreifen 26
durch eine entsprechende Ansteuerung der Messer 35 der
Schneidvorrichtung 34 vereinzelt. Anschließend erfolgt ein
langsames Anfahren der Folienbahn 10 in Förderrichtung, so
daß die Etiketten 22 in haftenden Kontakt mit den
Mantelflächen mit den zugeordneten Näpfen 11 kommen. Sobald
dies erfolgt ist, wird der Unterdruck der Sauger 32
abgestellt und die Platten 30, 31 in ihre ursprüngliche
untere Endlage verfahren, worauf sich das oben beschriebene
Abziehen von Etiketten 22 von den Etikettenrollen 21
wiederholt. Bei dem nun anschließenden Fördertakt der
Folienbahn 10, der zusammen mit dem eben genannten Anfahren
zusammen dem Abstand b einer Napfreihe in der Folienbahn 10
entspricht, wälzen sich die Andrückwalzen 41 der
Andrückvorrichtung 40 auf den Mantelflächen der Näpfe 11 ab,
wobei die Bewegung der Andrückwalzen 41 durch die
Exzenterscheiben 43 und die Zugfedern 42 gesteuert wird, so
daß die Andrückwalzen 41 stets in Kontakt mit den
Mantelflächen der Näpfe 11 sind. Sind die Etiketten 22
vollständig auf den Mantelflächen der Näpfe 11 aufgebracht,
so erfolgt das Endandrücken der Etiketten 22, das heißt, die
Vorschubbewegung der Folienbahn 10 wird beispielsweise für
einen Augenblick unterbrochen, und der Anpreßdruck der
Andrückwalzen 41 auf die Mantelflächen wird durch eine
geeignete Geometrie der Exzenterscheiben 43, zum Beispiel
durch Aussparungen in den Exzenterscheiben 43, erhöht. Nach
dem vollständigen Andrücken der Etiketten 22 werden die
Andrückwalzen 41 wieder in ihre ursprügliche Position in der
Nähe der Sauger 32 gebracht. Daraufhin beginnt ein neuer
Arbeitstakt, wie oben beschrieben.
Bei der gewählten Anordnung der Sauger 32 bzw. der Platten
30, 31 erfolgt, nachdem in Förderrichtung betrachtet zwei
Napfreihen etikettiert wurden, ein Vorschubtakt von fünf
Napfreihen. Mit diesen gewählten Vorschubwegen ist
gewährleistet, daß alle Mantelflächen der Näpfe 11
etikettiert werden.
Es wird darauf hingewiesen, daß bei anderen Anordnungen der
Sauger 32 oder der Näpfe 11 in der Folienbahn 10 auch andere
Vorschubwege, oder beispielsweise eine getrennte Bewegung
der beiden Platten 30, 31 denkbar sind.
Weiterhin können die Etiketten 22 auf den Etikettenrollen 21
auch auf einem Trägerpapierstreifen oder ähnlichem
angeordnet sein. In diesem Fall ist im Bereich der
Abstandsrollen 27 eine Abschälvorrichtung vorzusehen.The device for labeling packaging containers, such as
