Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for applying labels, particularly adhesive labels on objects to be labelled of various types.
  • a self-adhesive label is detached from a continuous feed strip, possibly having a silicone paper backing, and fed to an application pad which holds it, for example by means of vacuum, on the non-adhesive side.
  • the object to be labelled is brought into a set position at the applying device and the pad with the label is moved to press the label onto the object.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the above mentioned drawbacks of conventional labelling devices.
  • a specific object of the invention is to provide a label applying device that is free from the problems related to the use of compressed air.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a device that is compact, reliable, has a limited weight and size, and is easy to maneuver.
  • the label applying device comprises an electric motor controlled by a microprocessor for movement of the label applying pad, contact of which with the object to be labelled is detected by means of a sensor that measures the deformation of the pad or its support.
  • the pad is provided with a plurality of holes that allow air to pass, in order to allow the vacuum generated by an electric fan, mounted on the side thereof not in contact with the label, to keep the label attached.
  • the applicator according to the invention is particularly suitable for use in connection with thermal or thermal transfer printers.
  • 1 indicates the label applying device according to the invention as a whole.
  • the device 1 is situated immediately downstream of a label separating unit 3 of a dispenser 4 for labels 5, only the terminal part of which is shown.
  • the label separating unit 3 separates the labels 5 from a silicone-coated backing strip 6, to transfer them to the applicator device in the manner that will be described below.
  • the labels 5 can be fed to the applicator device without the silicone-coated backing 6, according to techniques that can in any case be considered per se known.
  • the applicator device 1 comprises a pad 7 provided with a plurality of through holes 8 (see Fig.4), situated immediately at the exit of the separating unit 3, to receive on its underside a label 5, by the non-adhesive side.
  • a fan 9 is provided, which sucks air through said holes 8, creating a vacuum which allows the label 5 to be kept attached to the pad 7.
  • the pad 7-fan 9 assembly is mounted at the lower end of a supporting rod 10, integral with an upper carriage 11, that can slide vertically guided along a bar 12.
  • a plate 13 Fixed to the carriage 11 is a plate 13 that can slide along a second bar 14, to prevent torsional movements of the carriage
  • the two bars 12, 14 are fixed between a bottom plate 15 and a top plate 17, a third bar 16, simply for stiffening, being situated between said plates 15, 17.
  • the carriage 11 is pulled along the bar 12, by means of a belt 18, to which it is fixed, a belt that winds onto a bottom pulley 19, integral with the axle of an electric drive motor 20 and is kept under tension by an idle top pulley 21 (see cross-section in Fig.2), supported by the top plate 17.
  • the motor 20 is controlled by a microprocessor drive 22.
  • An operator interface console 23 allows parameters to be programmed and data to be displayed.
  • the label dispenser 4 supplies the label 5 to the application pad 7 when the latter is in the raised, retracted position shown in Figs.1 and 3.
  • the pad 7 is then lowered, by means of the motor 20 and the belt 16 onto the object to be labelled until the label is brought into contact with the object, with a certain pressure.
  • the optoelectronic sensor 25 measures the force with which the label is pressed, on the basis of the deformation of the pad 7. Once an adequate force value is reached, the pad 7 is retracted to the initial position.
  • the sensor 25 allows the stroke and force of impact of the pad 7 to be adapted to the distance of the object and to its characteristics of resistance to pressure, thus allowing labelling of objects situated at different distances or of different sizes, as well as adjustment of the application pressure to the product characteristics.
  • the pad 7 moves along a rectilinear course between the two positions, i.e. label pick up and label application position.
  • This arrangement makes the structure simple and compact, as well as economical.
  • the pad 7 is preferably made of foamed elastomer. This material allows easy detection of its deformation, as well as adaptation of its surface to irregular surfaces.
