Definitions
- the invention relates to a continuous process in which the containers with a superimposed internal rotation are moved on a transport path and the decorations on a carrier web are moved past at a transfer location at constant speeds and tangentially, where the decorations are successively applied under pressure and heat the containers are transferred.
- the invention further relates to a corresponding device which consists of a drivable endless transport track with uniformly spaced, drivable and rotating receiving means for the containers, a drivable endless carrier track with uniformly spaced decorations and a contact area between the Transport track and the carrier track, wherein means for exerting pressure and means for heating the decoration are arranged in the area of the transfer location.
- a corresponding device which consists of a drivable endless transport track with uniformly spaced, drivable and rotating receiving means for the containers, a drivable endless carrier track with uniformly spaced decorations and a contact area between the Transport track and the carrier track, wherein means for exerting pressure and means for heating the decoration are arranged in the area of the transfer location.
- the decorative motif is printed on a carrier web by means of known printing technology in such a way that it is connected to the carrier web by an adhesive with a lower adhesive force and is coated with another adhesive with a higher adhesive force.
- a carrier web produced in this way is brought into contact with the containers to be decorated. Pressure and heat in this contact area detach the decor from the carrier web and at the same time connect it to the container. The heat is supplied via the container.
- This method can therefore only be used for containers with a high heat capacity, for example glass bottles.
- a continuous process and a device for this purpose, in which the thermal transfer process can also be used in containers with low heat capacity, for example plastic containers, are described in DE 44 37 379.1.
- the carrier web is separated into individual sections each bearing a print motif and transferred to heated application segments which are arranged at equal intervals on an application conveyor.
- This order conveyor briefly takes over the containers in such a way that a container is assigned to each order segment. The decor is then transferred from the individual section to the container during transport.
- this method requires a high level of technical equipment.
- the containers printed by the thermal transfer process generally still require post-heat treatment so that the transferring color image is given an increased gloss, the colors are dried and the adhesion of the substrate is improved.
- DE 44 27 870.5 describes how to transport the freshly printed structures with the still moist printed image to a separate oven using a separate removal means.
- this object is achieved in that the movements of the transport path and the carrier path are opposite, the distance between the containers on the transport path and the speed of the transport path behaving in exactly the same way as the distance between the decorations on the carrier path and the speed of the carrier path . Furthermore, the container is brought to a peripheral speed in the area of the transfer location which corresponds to the speed of the carrier web and the necessary heat is supplied to the carrier web.
- the particular advantage of the invention lies in the extremely high peripheral speed of the containers. As is known, this speed results from the sum of the two speeds of the transport path and the carrier path, but in this case by an addition under the same sign.
- the high peripheral speed enables a continuous process, since the distances between the containers on the transport track and the distances between the decorations on the carrier track are now independent of one another. A to-- cutting into individual sections of the carrier web is no longer necessary.
- the minimal contact time also prevents temperature transfer from the carrier web into the container, which is particularly advantageous for plastic containers.
- the two temperature-dependent layers of adhesive on the carrier web remain unaffected.
- the containers are not driven separately but by the movement of the carrier web. This eliminates the otherwise necessary coordination of the movements of the container and carrier web. It is advantageous if, in addition to the container to be decorated, the container behind in the direction of movement is simultaneously driven by the carrier web. This enables the container behind it to accelerate and thus avoids a speed difference between the container and carrier web during the transfer.
- the necessary heat is supplied before or at the point of transmission.
- the heat supply can be metered best in the immediate vicinity of the transmission location and the loss of heat can be calculated more precisely.
- heating time depends on the speed of the carrier web and if this regulation takes place automatically.
- the object of the invention is achieved in that the drive means for the transport track and the carrier track are designed for directions of movement opposite to one another and a guide element for the carrier track is designed for the application of pressure and the heat transfer.
- the guide element is movable and biased transversely to the direction of movement of the carrier web and is designed as a heating element.
- a separate conventional drive Means for realizing the same peripheral speeds are to be used.
- the combination of both drive options is also possible.
- a speed at the container lower than the required speed is generated via the separate drive, and the missing differential speed is realized by the carrier web.
- the separate drive must be equipped with an additional freewheel.
- a movable heating element is connected upstream of the guide element for the carrier web. By changing the position of the heating element, the contact area between the heating element and the carrier web can be varied continuously from zero to a maximum. The heating time can thus be adapted in an advantageous manner to the speed of the carrier web.
- the convex design of the guide surface of the heating element increases the contact capability and improves the heat transfer.
- This swivel arm has a deflection roller for the carrier web, with which the contact area of the heating element with the carrier web can be changed.
- the heating element or the swivel arm can have its own actuator or can be driven by its own weight if appropriately suspended.
- the corresponding regulation can take place automatically.
- the movable heating element takes on the task of a preheater and the print head takes on that of the actual heating element.
- Fig. 1 a schematic top view of the device for decorating
- Fig. 2 an appropriate design for driving the containers through the carrier web
- Fig. 3 an expedient version for the heating device of the carrier web
- Fig. 4 a heat treatment device
- Fig. 5 another wash . Post-treatment facility.
- the device for decorating mainly consists of a transport device for the containers and a transport device for the decorations, both of which have a common interface for transferring the decorations to the containers.
- the transport device for containers is designed as a rotatable carousel 1.
- the carousel 1 has a drive (not shown), an input station 2, an output station 3 and a transport path 4 for the containers 5.
- the transport device for the decorations consists of a carrier web 7, which is loaded by a drive (not shown) and corresponding guide elements for this carrier web 7.
- the carrier web 7 is designed in a known manner and carries the same in the same way by means of an adhesive with a lower adhesive force Distances arranged decor.
- the surfaces of the decorations are covered with another adhesive with greater adhesive strength.
- the guide elements consist of at least one deflection roller 8, a pivotable heating element 9 and a print head 10 which can be displaced in the direction of the container 5.
- the pivotable heating element 9 has an outer guide surface 12, which is expediently convex and has an upper pivot point.
- the heating element 9 can be pivoted about this pivot point by a drive of a conventional type in the direction transverse to the direction of movement of the carrier web 7. This results in a contact surface between the guide surface 12 and the carrier web 7 that is different in size and dependent on the swivel angle.
- the print head 10 also has an outer, preferred-- wise flat guide surface 11 and is driven in the direction of the carousel 1 by a prestressed compression spring or by another conventional drive system.
- the transport path 4 for the bundles 5 and the carrier path 7 for the decorations touch each other in the area of the print head 10, the movements of the transport path 4 and the carrier path 7 being opposite.
- the carrier web 7 and the containers 5 and thus also with the freely rotatable receiving means 6.
- a deflection roller 13 can be arranged in a special way in the direction of movement of the carrier web 7 after the print head 10.
- the location of the deflecting roller 13 outside the transport path 4 is at a distance from the print head 10 which is greater than the distance between the containers 5, as a result of which the carrier web 7 freed from the decoration comes into contact with the next container 5.
- the guide element for the carrier web 7 consists of the print head 10 'and the heating element 9'. Both are fixed to each other.
- the print head 10 ' has an outer guide surface 11', a mechanical presetting device 14 and a pneumatic drive 15.
- the heating element 9 ' is equipped with an outer, convex guide surface 12' and has an active connection with a swivel arm 16.
- This swivel arm 16 is equipped on its head with a deflection roller 17 and with a spacer roller 18.
- the swivel arm 16 has Furthermore, a drive, not shown, with which the position of the deflection roller 17 relative to the heating element 9 'can be changed. This position is set as a function of the speed of the carrier web 7 and determines the size of the contact area between the heating element 9 'and the carrier web 7. At a slow speed, the deflection roller 17 positions itself closer and further at a fast speed away from the printhead 10 '.
- the spacer roller 18 keeps the carrier web 7 away from the heating element 9 ′ in the region in front of the deflection roller 17.
- the carrier web 7 1 shows the state when the roll with the carrier web 7 has expired.
- the heating plate 19 can be equipped with a plane or with a concave heating surface 21 that can be equipped should depend on whether the transport direction of the container 5 describes a linear or a circular path. If, for example, the conveyor track 4 of the carousel 1 is also used for the post-treatment of the containers 5, a concave heating surface 21 is advantageous. With the correct choice of the shape of the heat surface 21, a specific heat treatment time can be defined over the length of the heat surface 21.
- a heat treatment device mainly consists of a nozzle head 22, a temperature-controlled hot air generator 23, a quantity-controlled bypass valve 24 and a temperature and quantity regulator 25.
- the containers 5 are again on a linear or circular path. A separate drive is required for the rotation of the containers 5.
- the setpoint of the temperature for the controller 20 or for the temperature and quantity controller 25 is to be specified taking into account the material of the container 5.
- Plastic containers 5 therefore require special attention. In order to avoid undesired deformations, it may be appropriate to additionally stabilize plastic containers 5 with blown compressed air.
- the carousel 1 and the carrier web 7 are driven at desired but constant speeds.
- the movements are oriented in opposite directions.
- the containers 5 placed on the receiving means 6 from the input station 2 are transported on the transport path 4 in the direction of the print head 10.
- the decorations heated on the heating element 9 to the necessary temperature on the carrier web 7 move in the opposite direction towards the print head 10. Due to the contact between each container 5 and If the carrier web 7 adjusts in the area of the print head 10, the container 5 rotates freely on the receiving means 6. A circumferential speed of the size of the speed of the carrier web 7 occurs at the container 5.
- the decor detaches from the carrier web and adheres to the container 5.
- the containers 5 then pass through one of the heat treatment devices.
