Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for attaching markings or imprints on free outer surfaces of cigarette packs by means of printing unit, in particular laser encoder, wherein the printing unit is stationarily positioned next to an endless conveyor for the cigarette packs, the packs facing the printing unit, at least partially free are moved past the outer surface of the pack not covered by the endless conveyor, and wherein during the conveying movement or during temporary stoppage of the packs the printing is applied to the free or to the free part of the outer surface of the pack. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method.
  • the object of the invention is to design the attachment of markings or codings to (cigarette) packs such that the method and apparatus are integrated into the working process of the packaging machine and do not require any separate measures.
  • the packages are transported in such a way that a packing area not covered or covered by the conveying members faces the printer or laser encoder.
  • the promotion of the cigarette packs takes place in pack groups.
  • the packaging surfaces in the region of a station facing the laser encoder and this provides simultaneously several packages in the region of the surface concerned with printing or coding. Measures are provided for the exact alignment of the packages or the surfaces to be printed.
  • the conveyor for the cigarette pack may be a dry turret with pockets for accommodating one pack group, directed at the end faces radially outward and exposed for printing.
  • Fig. 1 shows the most important application example for the coding of packages 10, namely a cigarette pack of the folding box type. This is known to consist of a box part 11 and a lid 12.
  • the package 10 has a cuboid shape with a large-scale front side 13, narrow, upright side surfaces 14 and even smaller end surfaces, namely end face 15 and bottom surface 16th
  • the package 10 should be provided with an external printing, in particular with a Coding, eg from numbers. Letters and / or lines.
  • the coding is attached by laser.
  • selected outer surfaces of the pack 10 are provided with coding surfaces 17, 18. These are strip-shaped, outer coatings of the packs 10, which are partially removed during printing or coding by the laser, forming the letters, numbers or lines.
  • coding surfaces 17, 18 are shown.
  • corresponding coding surfaces 17, 18 in the region of the end face 15 and bottom surface 16 are arranged be, in each case adjacent to an adjacent surface, ie adjacent and parallel to a pack edge.
  • Fig. 2 is a printing unit or a laser encoder 19 positioned in the region of a conveying path for the packs.
  • the packs 10 are transported so that the end face 15 and bottom surface 16 are directed sideways and one of the side surfaces 14 facing upward.
  • the packages 10 are conveyed at a distance from each other, by endless conveyors, which attack in the region of the sideways surfaces.
  • These are two (flat) straps 20, 21 that extend at a distance from one another.
  • the upward-facing packing surface, that is to say the side surface 14, is completely free. Accordingly, the laser encoder 19 can code the coding surfaces 17, 18 located in the area of the side surface 14 during the transport of the packs 10 or during a temporary standstill thereof.
  • the device according to Fig. 2 is part of a packaging machine, namely primarily for testing the packages 10 in terms of correct design.
  • the straps 20, 21 form a test track, in the area of which test elements are arranged, namely cameras 22, 23. These detect the external appearance of the pack 10 and check their correct formation, in this case also with regard to the coding.
  • the laser encoder 19 is therefore arranged in the conveying direction of the packs 10 in front of the test station or in front of the cameras 22, 23, so that they can check the correct coding with.
  • the test device is expediently in accordance with EP 854 090 educated.
  • a suction member 24 is positioned, which is connected to a vacuum source during the coding of a pack 10.

  • the laser encoder 19 is according to the dash-dotted representation laterally next to the trajectory of the packs 10th positioned.
  • a laser beam is directed onto a free region of the end face 15 or bottom surface 16, in this case above the upper belt 20.
  • the device according to Fig. 4 is also located in the end of a packaging machine. It is a collection and conveying device for packs 10 in broad agreement with EP 596,387 ,
  • the packages 10 are transported at a distance from each other by a horizontal pack conveyor 25. This consists of an upper conveyor belt 26 and a lower conveyor belt 27.
  • the packs 10 are each detected by an upper run and a lower run in the region of up and down facing pack surfaces, in the region of the correspondingly positioned side surfaces 14th
  • the packages are to be transferred to a vertical conveyor 28.
  • This is designed so that on an upright endless conveyor 29 transversely projecting platforms 30 are arranged at a distance from each other. These each detect several, namely two packs 10 and transport them upwards.
  • the packing conveyor 25 ends in this device at a distance from the vertical conveyor 28.
  • the packs 10 are formed here to a row of seals 31. This is fed to the vertical conveyor 28 by respective subsequent packages 10 via a bridge plate 32. In the area of this last conveyor line, namely the bridge plate 32, the packages 10 are free at the top, so that the upwardly directed packing surface - side surface 14 - by a subsequent to the package conveyor 25 above the packs 10 positioned laser encoder 19 with the Coding can be provided.
  • a laser encoder may also be positioned sideways next to the package conveyor 25, when the laterally directed free packing surfaces, namely face 15 or bottom surface 16, are to be provided with a coding.
  • the packs 10 are transported as a pack group 54 in pockets 33 of a revolver 34. This is a dry turret about in the execution of US 4 636 186 ,
  • the task of the revolver 34 is to transport the packs 10 or groups of packs 54 for a certain time so that glue spots of the packs can be cured while maintaining a correct shape.
  • the pockets 33 are designed such that the packs 10 of a pack group 54 are arranged next to one another in the axial direction, in the present case six packs 10 as a pack group 54.
  • the pockets 33 are open on both axial sides, so that in the region of a feed station 35 the packs 10 can be inserted in an axially parallel direction by a feed conveyor 36 in a respective free pocket 33.
  • a Ausschubstation 37 is formed in the same time as the loading of a packing group 54 is pushed out of a pocket 33 also in the axis-parallel direction.
  • a slide 38 which can be moved back and forth in a corresponding direction and which is connected via a support arm 39 to an actuating gear, namely a crank 40, is used.
  • the pockets 33 are formed in a special way, namely consist essentially of two lateral pocket walls 41, 42. These capture the packs 10 in the region of the side surfaces 14.
  • the end faces 15 or bottom surfaces 16 are directed radially inwardly and outwardly.
  • One of the pocket walls, namely the pocket wall 41 is stationary and forms with a radially inner leg 43 an inside boundary of the bag 33 for the packs 10.
  • the other, opposite pocket wall 42 is pivotable about an inside bearing 44.
  • the (dry) turret 34 is particularly advantageous as a conveyor for the packages in the area of a printing unit or laser.

  • FIG. 5 and Fig. 6 Another alternative is also in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 shown.
  • a pocket wall namely in the present case the rearward in the direction of rotation pocket wall 42 is formed with a smaller radial dimension than that of the packs 10.
  • a radially outboard portion of the associated side surface 14 projects beyond the pocket wall 42 away.
  • the laser encoder 19 with a horizontal laser beam can thus attach the coding to the free area of the side surface 14.
  • a special feature is that the packs 10 of a pack group 54 are aligned during the coding exactly at least in the area of the surfaces to be printed.
  • Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 A movable pressing member extends over all packs 10 of the packing group 54. Accordingly, during (laser) printing, the end faces are located in a common exact plane.
  • the pressing member is a stationary, rotatable pressure roller 55. This extends in the direction parallel to the axis over the full length of the packing group 54 or beyond ( Fig. 6 ).
  • the pressure roller 55 is in the position of alignment offset from the center plane on the surfaces or end faces 15, such that in a non-remaining area the laser coding can be performed.
  • the pressure roller 55 is arranged or movable so that a pressure and alignment effect is given only during the phase of the coding.
  • the pressure roller 55 is therefore designed here as an eccentric or mounted on an eccentrically arranged shaft journal 56. This is driven in rotation, by a drive belt or toothed belt 57, which in turn is driven by a drive wheel 58.
  • the drive wheel 58 is driven by the turret 34 via a central gear and a pinion, so that the movement of the pressure roller 55 takes place in exact accordance with the rotational movement of the turret 34.

  • fixed guide rails 59 are positioned on both sides of the pockets 33, which points to the facing front sides 13 of the pack group 54 in the sense of exact alignment the entire packing group 54 act.
  • Fig. 7 Also serves a (dry) turret 34 for transporting the packs 10 and of pack groups 54.
  • the packs 10 and the pack group 54 temporarily and partially from the position within the pocket 33rd moved out into a coding position.
  • the surfaces or partial surfaces of the packs 10 to be provided with a print are free.
  • the packages 10 are positioned so that side faces 14 facing up or to the side may be partially exposed and acted upon by the laser encoder. This can, as in Fig. 7 shown in be positioned vertically above the packages to be acted on a position.
  • the arrangement according to Fig. 7 but equally applies to a horizontal arrangement or direction of action of the laser encoder 19.
  • the slider 45 has two interconnected legs 46. 47, which correspond in a substantially the length or other dimension of the pack 10 Are spaced apart from each other.
