Description

The present invention relates to a device and a system for handling Banderoles. In particular, the present invention is applicable in the technical field, that with the fastening of banderoles for cigarette boxes, so-called Tax stamps busy.

Such banderoles are printed as sheets by the competent authority of the respective country sent to the user, here the cigarette manufacturer, and then for production provided. For this purpose, the printed sheets are placed on top of one another and onto the banderole format cut, i.e. punched out on a punching device. Stack of banderoles with some A thousand banderoles are then conventionally provided in type cases and used for Banderolers brought into production where they are hand-fed into a banderole feed chute be inserted.

The preamble of claim 1 is based on a device for handling Banderoles, as described in DE 197 30 307 A1. According to this script the banderole stacks are placed in a container-like, larger cassette via a linear conveyor delivered to the banding machine. The cassette lies horizontally and horizontally and comprises several parallel chambers, in each of which banderole stacks are arranged. On On one side of each chamber a slide for the stack of banderoles is arranged while on the other side, a closure member, namely a lowerable pin is provided. After this Lowering the pin at the discharge end of a chamber can be done with the banderoles Slider pushed out and brought to a feed conveyor.

This system disadvantageously requires that since the cassette lies horizontally, that is to say horizontally, the already mentioned slide for the movement or the discharge of the stack of banderoles. Another disadvantage is the fact that the cassette on the linear conveyor is very must be positioned exactly so that a stack of banderoles to be pushed out is actually hits the right point of the processing feed conveyor. Here is one complex control necessary.

It is the object of the present invention, a device or a system for handling of banderoles to provide which have the disadvantages of the prior art listed above Overcome technology. In particular, a simple and accurate tracking of the banderoles is intended be made possible.

This object is achieved by devices according to claims 1 and 15 and a system according to claim 19 solved.

In the device for handling banderoles according to the invention, the at least one Has cassette, which is arranged so that banderoles from it into a banding machine each cassette is substantially vertical on its cassette holder arranged and positionable via a band feed shaft of the banding machine.

By means of such a configuration according to the invention, there is advantageously no device more necessary, which pushes the stack of banderoles out of the cassette, because of the vertical arrangement of each cassette the gravity for the discharge of the banderole down worries. It is thus possible to constructively design the cassettes that hold the supply of banderoles simply and without the additional effort of providing a slide too to construct. The band feed chutes of most banders supplied on the market are aligned substantially vertically at least in their upper part, so that the Banderoles easily from a likewise vertically arranged cassette in these banderole feed chutes can be handed over. It should be noted that the invention also applicable to banders with inclined band feed chutes; under Under certain circumstances, a vertical entry section can be found at the upper part of the feed shaft be trained as will be described in more detail below. The device has modular character and thus enables the attachment to known banding machines without intervention in the control or the mechanics of the banding machine.

In one embodiment of the device according to the invention, each cassette is of the Removable cassette holder and has a slot for only a stack of banderoles on. Here, the advantage according to the invention comes into play, that of a modular Construction comes from. When the cassettes are detachably attached to the cassette holder can be, it is possible to fill such cassettes with banderole stacks beforehand, so that only one filled cassette is attached to the cassette holder for refilling must become. You can click on the elaborate refill of the individual banderole stacks Be waived by hand, which also has an advantage in that the banderoles can no longer be contaminated or damaged when refilling. If the Cassettes, as is the case with this version, a receiving slot for only one Having stacked banderoles, the exchange of such cassettes is also very straightforward. Cassettes with only one banderole are very light and easy to use. In particular, this shows an advantage over the system according to the one mentioned at the beginning DE 197 30 307 A1, in which large, heavy cassettes are handled with several stacks of banderoles Need to become. The use of individual cassettes to hold the banderoles significantly increases the flexibility of the overall device. The device allows the recording of cassettes of various banderole formats (width x length), i.e. only that Cassettes are adapted to the format by additional strips or cassettes in the corresponding Format used.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the cassette holder is on rotatable carousel with a vertical axis of rotation, removable from the banding machine the circumference of which the cassettes are arranged. Such a carousel arrangement brings the The advantage of this is that a large number of cassettes filled with banderoles are prepared and can be easily attached to the circumference of the carousel. Operational When a cassette has been emptied, the machine can move the carousel by one Angular position are rotated so that the next filled cassette over the banderole feeder of the banding device is positioned and the banding replenishment for is secured for a long time. A pre-filled cassette can then be attached to the empty cassette Carousel to be attached.

The closure of each cassette is advantageously arranged such that it can be changed in position he during the opening process in a fixed position in relation to the banding machine or Banderole feed shaft arranged recording is added. The closure can be a slide that runs in a guide at the discharge opening of the cassette, whereby it can be actuated on both sides by an opening and closing device, which in particular is designed as a sliding tongue device. By picking up the clasp at A centering as well as an exact opening in the positionally fixed receptacle will open Positioning and locking of the cassette over the banderole feed chute ensured. This eliminates the need for large positioning efforts when moving to the cassettes the banderole feeder shaft, as it is guaranteed after opening the cassettes is that it is in the correct locked position over the banderole feed slot are located. The cassette is namely at the opening process of the slide on the correct position. By means of the sliding tongue devices, a simple and rapid opening and closing of the closure can be guaranteed, especially then if compressed air actuation is provided for the opening and closing device.

Preferred for arranging the device according to the invention on a banding machine Cassette holder and all essential device components, such as a rotary drive for the Carousel, an electrical and a compressed air supply as well as a control on this Banders attached to a base plate by means of a carrier with a support arm.

If there is a locking and unlocking locking device for each cassette on the cassette holder is arranged, the entire cassette holder, for example a complete one Carousel is moved and exchanged, for example, without the cassettes becoming detached. It is therefore also possible to remove a carousel with empty cassettes and to be replaced by a carousel with filled cassettes. In particular, this is without one Banderole loss possible if each cassette also a closure for the End of discharge opposite end of the cassette.

As already mentioned above, the invention is also for inclined band feed chutes applicable, as they are provided on some machines, such as. B. on banders for high-speed packaging machines. To the present invention The banderole feed chute becomes so to realize such inclined chutes designed that he a lower, sloping shaft section and an upper has a shaft section curved towards the vertical, on which the cassette holder then can be arranged substantially vertically.

With such an embodiment, the problem can arise that the banderoles in the curved section from the vertical direction of movement in an approximately 45 ° bevel have to be redirected. The inclination of the banderoles is inclined at the bottom Shaft section hardly changed until the upper end of the shaft. Newly introduced Banderole stacks therefore do not hit the previously fed banderoles flat, but in at an acute angle, so that banderoles bend regularly, and this interference too Lead downtimes on the packaging machine.

According to the invention, this problem can be solved with a device in which in the area of curved section of the banderole feed shaft at its less strongly curved Fanning devices for fanning out the stack of banderoles therein be provided. Fanning out has several advantages. One of the advantages is there in that the fanning out causes the banderoles at the upper end of the curved shaft section come to rest horizontally again, i.e. it is prevented that the band inclination in the lower section of the shaft continues upwards. In order to can the banderoles tracked from the top of the cassette in a horizontal position also horizontally aligned banderoles fall, and the aforementioned buckling and malfunctions no longer occur, so that the packaging machine comes to a standstill can be avoided.

Another advantage of the fanning out according to the invention is the brief separation the banderoles. Adhesive banderoles are thereby detached from one another and the consequence of this is a trouble-free machine run.

In a preferred embodiment of the above design, the fanning out devices formed by projections protruding into the feed shaft, these Projections are in turn advantageously wave profiles, especially those with several wave peaks and valleys arranged one behind the other.

Basically, it can be said that by adjusting the location, the number of Surface and the design of the constrictions formed by the projections Optimization for various boundary conditions, such as strip size tolerances, material quality and can achieve edge looks. If the constrictions are realized by wave profiles the frictional forces can be adjusted by using the outer shaft wall is held by springs. If the banderoles slide past the individual shafts, a one-sided exfoliation effect achieved, so that the stacked, uniform banderoles can be guided perpendicular to the tangent of curvature.

Preference is given to the side of the feed shaft opposite the wave profiles counter pressure elements still attached, especially steel counter pressure springs. Doing so the opening effect is positively supported by the banderoles from the opposite one Side back into the wave valleys.

The projections mentioned can also be in a different way than the above-mentioned wave profiles are executed, namely for example as pawls, edges, profiled inserts or resilient ledges. Any combination of such projections can also in individual cases lead to optimal results.

The invention further relates to a device for locking a cassette with banderoles and with a closure for the discharge opening of the cassette opposite a feed chute of a banding device, which is characterized in that the closure is designed in this way is that it is in the opening process in a opposite the banding machine or the feed shaft positionally arranged recording is recorded. As above indicated, this device design causes the cassette when opening the Closure is locked in the correct position and thus from an overly accurate Start-up control for the cassettes can be disregarded. Also in the context of this device there is the possibility of compressed air actuation for the opening and closing device to provide. In addition, a cassette holder and the opening and closing device and the compressed air supply by means of a carrier with a support arm on a base plate in a fixed position with respect to the banding machine or the band feeding shaft to be appropriate. If the closure is a slide that is in a guide at the discharge opening the cassette runs, being on both sides of the opening and closing device can be actuated, which is designed in particular as a sliding tongue device, the slide is located in the holder, this in the base plate, and the base plate is by means of the support arm fixed in position with respect to the banding machine, so that the precise locking becomes possible.

The invention further relates to a system for filling cassettes with banderole stacks, in which the cassettes are filled by means of a banderole stack feed device. According to the state of the art, banderole stacks are still placed in feed cassettes by hand used. They can get dirty, damaged and fall (especially when loosening a paper strapping), so that their adhesiveness is impaired could be. For this reason, the present invention has the filling process for automated the cassettes to provide a feeder. This band stack feed device can the band stack in one device transfer, as described above in various embodiments. So that can they can be designed as a gripper running on a rail or as one with a gripper equipped robotic arm, the gripper each automatically punched and cut Takes up the stack of banderoles and inserts them into the cassette. The one described here Device for receiving the cassettes, consisting of base plate, locking device, Carousel, electrical control, compressed air control and sliding tongue device can so that they can also be used to fill the cassettes with banderoles.

In general, it should be noted here that instead of a carousel for the invention Device can also be used a linear conveyor for the cassettes is. In the simplest case, the removable cassette can also be mounted vertically on a single suspension to be hung above a band feed chute of a bander.

1 shows a device according to the invention in a very general schematic diagram shown. The reference numeral 1 denotes a banding machine, which has a Banderole feed chute 2 stacked banderoles are fed. Laterally above the Chute 2 is a carousel 5 shown here in side view rotatably, one Rotary drive 6 for the carousel 5 is driven by the motor (electric motor) 4.

On the carousel, cassettes 3 are arranged vertically on its circumference, the stack of banderoles contain. The cassette located at the far right edge of carousel 5 is directly above the feed chute 2, so that banderoles fall from it into the feed chute 2 can then be processed individually by the banding machine 1. Already in this very Simplified representation, the principle of the invention becomes clear, namely a banderole stock so to feed the shaft 2 that no mechanical devices for the Discharge of the banderoles from the cassettes 3 become more necessary. The banderoles fall simply by gravity in the shaft 2. It should be noted that the shaft 2 almost always completely when using the device according to the invention in operation is filled, so that when a cassette 3 is opened at the bottom, the banderoles only have one fall short distance so that they do not tilt.

Figure 2 will now be detailed with reference to Figure 6, which shows the carousel in more detail shown how such a carousel 5 can be attached to the banding machine 1. The Support arm 8 is pivotally connected to the banding device 1 and holds a base plate 7. In the operation of the banding device is not the preferably swiveling design impaired and can be swung away in the event of a fault or for maintenance work All elements of the device according to the invention are attached to the base plate 7, in Figure 2 is shown here only the motor 4 and the belt drive 6, one on the top Side of the base plate projecting mandrel 9 can rotate. The holding mandrel 9 carries the carousel 5 and the connection can be, for example, a releasable cone fit.

As can be seen from FIG. 3, the base plate comprises the opening and closing mechanism in section 13, which is made in two parts and has a recess 12 in the middle, which in operation the lower part of a cassette and the upper part of a banderole feed shaft 2 records. In the outbreak it can be seen that the opening and closing mechanism has two slide tongues 10 and 11 on both sides of the recess 12, wherein the slide 11 is responsible for opening the cassette lock. The slide 10 on the other hand causes the cassette shutter to close. The mode of action when opening - And closing the cassette lock is shown in more detail in Figure 4.

FIG. 4 shows a side view of a device according to the invention. On the Base plate 7, the carousel 5 serving as a cassette holder is rotatable in the left area put on. As can also be seen from FIG. 6, it consists of an unspecified center girder and two peripheral brackets 31o (top) and 31u (bottom) attached to it. On hers The circumferential brackets 31o and u each have hooks 14 which extend over the circumference are distributed so that cassettes 3 can be hung next to each other. On the right 4, a suspended cassette 3 is shown. It is by means of a fixation additionally locked, this fixation consisting of a shoulder 15 and a pin 27 there, which can penetrate resiliently biased into a hole in the back of the cassette 3.

The carousel can always be rotated by the drive shown in Figure 2, until the next filled cassette is over the banderole 2. This is by means of Light barriers, not shown, can be implemented via a controller.

As already mentioned, the cassette 3 to be seen from the side in FIG. 4 lies directly above the band feed chute 2 in the recess 12, which can be seen in FIG. 3 from above is. Before the opening and closing mechanism is explained in detail, the structure of a cassette can be shown with reference to FIG. In this Figure 5 is the Cassette shown in three views, the top left view being a front view of the open part of the cassette and the top right view is a rear view. Under the A front view is shown.

The cassette consists essentially of the two side walls 19 and 20, which have a back plate not designated are kept at a certain distance from each other. about A recess in the rear plate runs the struts 17o (top) and 17u (bottom). How from the front view shown below, the cassette thus forms a receiving shaft 28 in which banderoles can be stacked. On the lower discharge side the cassette 3 is a cassette lock arranged as a slide 16, which is in a guide 21 runs, which is incorporated on both sides on the lower side of the side plates 19 and 20. In the guide 21, the slider 16 can be pushed out to the rear, so that End of discharge of the cassette 3 is opened and the banderoles can fall out. One for Half open position is shown in the front view.

Furthermore, the cassette also has a slide 18 which is also guided at the upper end, through which it can be completely closed. When both slides 16, 18 are closed, the banderoles located in the cassette 3 can no longer be in any position of the cassette 3 fall out, since the front part is narrowed by the lugs 22 on the side plates.

If one now keeps in mind the construction of the closing slide 16 from FIG. 5, this is how the opening and closing mechanism, which is shown in FIG is understand. As already indicated, Figure 4 shows the cassette from the side and in Outbreak can be seen that the closure 16 has moved out here on the left, that is, in the Open position. It is located in the receptacle 29, where it has the cassette 3 opposite Band feed slot 2 centered precisely. The exact centering follows from the fact that the receptacle 29 is arranged fixedly opposite the base plate 7, which in turn firmly attached to the banding device 1 and therefore also positional with respect to the Feeder shaft 2 is arranged. So if by the sliding tongue 11, which in Figure 4 of seen from the side, the slider 16 is inserted into the receptacle 29 is the cassette always locked in the correct position opposite the feeder shaft 2. This will an overly precise positioning when starting the cassette, i.e. when the cassette rotates Carousels 5 superfluous and the correct arrangement of the cassette 3 is easily in everyone Case ensured.

Just as the sliding tongue 11 is provided for opening the slide 16 is on the opposite side a sliding tongue 10 arranged to the right when extending the slider 16 again up to a stop in the closed position for the cassette 3 brings. These two locking tongues 10, 11 have to move and become very fast therefore controlled with compressed air. The respective compressed air lines, as well as the electrical Lines for the motor 4 are also attached to or in the base plate 7.

Accordingly, when a cassette 3, which is filled with banderoles, by rotating the carousel 5 is arranged above the banderole feed shaft 2, pushes the sliding tongue 11 the lock 16 jerkily to the left and jumps back again, so that from the cassette 3 banderoles can fall into the feed shaft 2. Is after a certain time When the cassette 3 is emptied, the sliding tongue 10 pushes the closure 16 back into the closed position and the carousel 5 continues to rotate until a cassette 3 filled with banderoles again is arranged above the feed shaft 2. When opening, i.e. after moving the Slide 16 of the new cassette to the left, this is recorded in the receptacle 29 and this locks and centers the cassette 3 exactly in the correct position above the feed shaft 2nd

In Figures 7 and 8 are now two embodiments of an inventive Filling system for cassettes with banderole stacks shown. Figure 7 shows on the right side an upper view of a banding machine 1 with one placed thereon Carousel 5. In the tilted view shown on the left, it is now visible like a stack of banderoles 24 via a gripper 25 which runs on a rail 23 into the carousel 5 in a Cassette 3 are inserted. This makes manual introduction unnecessary and damage the banderoles can be avoided.

A further automated filling device is shown in FIG. 8, in which a gripper 30 is attached to a robot arm 26. The gripper 30 also guides the banderoles stacks of carousel 5.

Finally, FIG. 9 shows a further aspect of the present invention, namely a preferred embodiment of a band feed shaft curved in the upper region 2, as it is already shown in principle in Figure 1. Some high speed packaging machines, as they are available on the market, show one in the bottom Area at an inclined band feed shaft. So the present invention can be used with these machines with their vertical cassettes, the upper part of these shafts must be curved towards the vertical become. FIG. 9 now shows such a band feed chute 2 below a cassette 3, which has a sloping, straight, lower shaft section 43 and has an upper shaft section 45 curved towards the vertical.

In order to prevent the banderoles at the upper end of the shaft part 45 from sloping as well are as in the lower shaft section 43 in the shaft of Figure 9 are fanning out devices on the left outside, i.e. attached to the less curved side. As For example, a pawl 42 on the outside of the upper shaft section 45 is shown in FIG. 9, as well as a Wave profile 44, which is shown somewhat below.

Through the pawl 42, which projects inwards into the shaft, and through the wave crests 46 of the wave profile 44, the banderoles on this side of the shaft as shown fanned out, i.e. there are angular empty zones 41.

This diversification now has two particularly noteworthy advantages. One of them is that the bands at the upper end of the curved shaft section 45 again essentially lie vertically so that the banderoles coming out of the cassette are essentially horizontal Layer fall down on the horizontally arranged, upper stack part in the feed shaft 2 fall and thus buckling or malfunctions and downtimes on the Packaging machine can be avoided. The second advantage lies in the fact that when fanning the stack of banderoles in the upper shaft section 45 - because the banderoles are transported further down - at the same time there is an auto-leafing effect in which the banderoles are briefly separated. Adhesive banderoles can thereby be separated from each other, which guarantees trouble-free machine operation.

Depending on the design and the characteristics of the banderoles, one or more can be used Wave profiles 44 or individual pawls 42 arranged one behind the other are used, combinations are also possible.

In order to influence the fanning out or exfoliation effect even more positively, on the inside of the shaft section 45, i.e. on its more curved side, counter pressure elements attached, shown in Figure 9 as three individual, round steel springs 48 are. The slight spring pressure emanating from these steel springs 48 leads to the Banderoles on the opposite side back into the troughs of wave profile 44 pressed, which supports the exfoliation effect.

With such an illustrated embodiment of the banderole feed shaft The present invention is very universal, that is to say also in the case of packaging machines with oblique Band feeds applicable.
