Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Bedrucken und Zuführen halbsteifer Etiketten(Anhänger) zu Verpackungs-Verschließmaschinen wie Wurst-Clipsmaschinen o. dgl., mit einer Vorschubeinrichtung zum Abziehen eines Etikettenstrangs von einem Vorrat und Weiterfördern des Etikettenstrangs entlang einer Führungsbahn bis zu einer Abgabestation, wobei die Vorschubeinrichtung mindestens einen translatorisch hin- und herbewegten Finger aufweist, der beim Arbeitshub mit einem Absatz des jeweiligen Etiketts im Vorschubsinne zusammenwirkt, während er sich beim Rückhub über das nachfolgende Etikett bewegt. Eine derartige Etikettiermaschine zur Auszeichnung von gebündelten Feldfrüchten o. dgl. ist aus der US-A-4,519,178 bekannt.The invention relates to a device for printing and feeding semi-rigid Labels (tags) for packaging sealing machines such as sausage clip machines o. The like., With a feed device for removing a label strand from a supply and further conveying the label strand along a guideway to a dispensing station, wherein the feed device at least one translationally reciprocating finger, which with the working stroke a paragraph of the respective label in the advance sense cooperates, while he moves over the subsequent label on the return stroke. Such a labeling machine for the award of bundled crops o. The like. Is from the US-A-4,519,178.
Es ist ferner bekannt, selbstklebende Etiketten im Zusammenhang mit automatischen Etiketten-Bändern, weiche Maschinen zum Verpacken von Lebensmitteln zugeordnet sind, unmittelbar vor der Etiketten-Abgabe zu bedrucken, um beispielsweise Verfallsangaben für das verpackte Lebensmittel erst in dem für das Verfallsdatum maßgeblichen Verpackungszeitpunkt anzubringen. Für bestimmte Lebensmittel-Verpackungen eignen sich selbstklebende Etiketten nicht, weil sie beispielsweise auf feuchten oder fettigen Wursthüllen nicht ausreichend haften. Für diese Fälle ist es bekannt, statt eines selbstklebenden Etiketts Etiketten-Anhänger beim Verschließen etwa von Wurstenden in die dafür benutzten Mittel einzubeziehen, also insbesondere einen Abschnitt des Anhängers gemeinsam mit einem Zopf aus Verpackungsmaterial durch eine Verschlußklammer an der Verpackung zu befestigen.It is also known to use self-adhesive labels in connection with automatic Label tapes, soft machines for food packaging are assigned to print immediately before the label delivery, for example Expiry date for the packaged food only in the for the expiration date the relevant packing time. For certain food packaging Self-adhesive labels are not suitable because they, for example Do not adhere adequately to moist or fatty sausage casings. For this Cases it is known, instead of a self-adhesive label label tag when Closing of sausage ends in the means used, So in particular a section of the trailer together with a braid Packing material through a sealing clip on the packaging too Fasten.
Problematisch ist im einen wie im anderen Falle das zuverlässige Bedrucken der Etiketten-Anhänger kurz vor ihrer Verarbeitung und somit im Laufe der Etiketten-Zuführung zur Verschließmaschine. Aus der DE 24 17 225 A1 ist eine Etikettiervorrichtung für aufeinanderfolgende Schlauchverpackungen (wie Würste) bekannt, bei der jeweils zwei durch einen Verbindungsfaden verbundene Etiketten von einem Etikettenstreifen abgeschnitten und einer benachbarte Verpackungen verschließenden Einrichtung derart zugeführt werden, dass der Verbindungsfaden von den einerseits die vorausgehende Packung am Ende und andererseits die nachfolgende Packung am Anfang verschließenden Klammern erfasst und daraufhin sowohl die Etiketten als auch der Verbindungsfaden durchtrennt werden. Der Vorschub erfolgt dabei mit Hilfe einer schwenkbaren Doppelfinger-Anordnung, die beim Vorschieben hinter Einschnitte im Etikettenstrang greift und beim Rückhub über die nachfolgenden Etiketten gleitet. Die Etiketten sind aber fertig bedruckt und können nicht zeitnah zur Verarbeitung mit aktuellen Angaben wie Haltbarkeitsdaten o. dgl. versehen werden.The problem is in one case as in the other case, the reliable printing of the Label tags just before they are processed and thus during label feed to the sealing machine. From DE 24 17 225 A1 is a labeling device for successive tubular packaging (such as sausages) known at each of two connected by a connecting thread labels of one Cut off label strips and close to neighboring packaging Furnishing be supplied such that the connecting thread of the on the one hand the preceding pack at the end and on the other hand the following Pack captured at the beginning closing brackets and then both the Labels as well as the connecting thread are severed. The feed takes place thereby with the help of a pivoting double finger arrangement, which during the advancement behind incisions in the label strand engages and on the return stroke on the following Labels glides. The labels are printed but ready and can not timely for processing with current information such as shelf life data o. be provided.
Dem will die Erfindung nach der im Anspruch 1 definierten Vorrichtung abhelfen. Sie sieht bei einer Zuführ-Vorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art für Etiketten-Anhänger einerseits vor, dass ein parallel zur Führungsbahn hin- und herbewegbarer Wagen einerseits den Finger und andererseits eine Druck- oder Prägerolle einer Bedruckstation trägt, die beim Arbeitshub abgehoben und beim Rückhub gegen das nachfolgende Etikett zu dessen Beschriftung gepreßt ist. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, daß jedes Etikett unmittelbar vor seiner Abgabe an die Verpackungsmaschine exakt bedruckt wird. The invention aims to remedy this according to the device defined in claim 1. She looks at a feeding device of the beginning specified type for label pendants on the one hand, that a parallel to the Guideway of reciprocating carriages on the one hand the finger and the other carrying a printing or embossing roll of a printing station, which during the working stroke lifted off and on the return stroke against the following label to its label is pressed. This will ensure that each label printed exactly before its delivery to the packaging machine.
Vorzugsweise hat der Finger die Form einer zweizinkigen Gabel, die hinter zwei, senkrecht zur Vorschubrichtung fluchtende Absätze des jeweiligen Etiketts greift. Dies stabilisiert den translatorischen Vorschub und beugt jeder Verkantungs- und damit Verklemmneigung vor.Preferably, the finger has the shape of a two-pronged fork, behind two, perpendicular to the feed direction aligned paragraphs of the respective label engages. This stabilizes the translational feed and prevents any jamming and with it clamping tendency.
Eine Weiterbildung sieht vor, daß ein sich senkrecht zur Etiketten-Vorschubebene erstreckender Stift beim Rückhub das nachfolgende Etikett in die Wirkebene des Fingers bzw. der Gabel vorspannt. Grundsätzlich ist unerheblich, ob zum Arbeitshub das Etikett in die Wirkebene des Fingers bzw. der Gabel angehoben oder diese(r) in die Etikettenebene abgesenkt. wird. Wegen der Nachgiebigkeit des Etikettenmaterials ist es jedoch auch möglich, es bei einer Ebene zu belassen und beim Rückhub die Zinken der Gabel das Etikett beidseitig elastisch abbiegen zu lassen, so daß nach Abschluß des Rückhubs das Etikett vollständig in die Gabelebene zurückkehrt. Der mittig zwischen den Wegen der Gabelzinken ortsfest angeordnete Stift drückt jeweils derart gegen den vorderen Bereich des nachfolgenden Etiketts, daß er die angrenzenden Absätze des zum Vorschub in die Abgabestation anstehenden Etiketts zuverlässig in die Wirkebene der Gabelzinken hebt bzw. dort hält.A further embodiment provides that a perpendicular to the label feed level extending pin on the return stroke, the subsequent label in the plane of the Fingers or the fork pretensions. Basically, it is irrelevant whether to work the label in the plane of action of the finger or the fork raised or this lowered into the label level. becomes. Because of the resilience of However, label material, it is also possible to leave it at a level and on the return stroke the tines of the fork bend the label elastically on both sides leave, so that after completion of the return stroke, the label completely in the fork plane returns. The centrally located between the paths of the forks arranged Pen presses in each case so against the front of the following Labels that he has the adjacent paragraphs of the feed to the delivery station Reliable label reliably lifts in the working plane of the fork tines or stops there.
Im übrigen ist die Anordnung so getroffen, daß eine beim Arbeitshub abgehobene Druck- oder Prägerolle beim Rückhub gegen das nachfolgende Etikett gepreßt ist und dieses beschriftet. Das kann insbesondere derart geschehen, daß die Druck- oder Prägerolle das Etikett gegen eine stationäre, mit einstellbaren Zeichensätzen versehene Druckmatrix preßt. Auf diese Weise wird der eine Hub der Vorschubeinrichtung zum Vorschieben des Etikettenstrangs und der andere Hub (Rückhub) zum Bedrucken des nachfolgenden Etiketts benutzt. Bei Beendigung eines Arbeitspensums gehen also höchstens einzelne Etiketten wegen einer später falschen Bedruckung verloren.Moreover, the arrangement is such that one during the working stroke lifted printing or embossing roller on the return stroke against the following label pressed and labeled this. This can in particular be done in such a way that the printing or embossing roll the label against a stationary, with adjustable Fonts provided print matrix. In this way, the one hub the feed device for advancing the label strand and the other hub (Return stroke) used to print the following label. At termination a workload so go at most individual labels because of a later lost wrong printing.
In engem Zusammenhang damit steht das Verfahren zum Bedrucken und Zuführen halbsteifer Etiketten (Anhänger) zu Verpackungs-Verschließmaschinen wie Wurst-Clipsmaschinen o. dgl., welches sich dadurch auszeichnet, daß aus einer Kette über Perforationen aneinanderhängender Etiketten jeweils ein Etikett taktweise (Vorschubhub und Rückhub) aus einer Bereitschaftsstellung in eine Abnahmestellung geschoben wird, aus der es unter Auftrennen der Perforation zum nächsten Etikett abgezogen wird, wobei während des Rückhubs das nächste - in der Bereitschaftsstellung befindliche - Etikett bedruckt wird.Closely related to this is the procedure for Printing and feeding semi-rigid labels (trailers) to packaging sealers like sausage clip machines o. The like., Which is characterized by that from a chain on perforations of consecutive labels one label at a time (feed stroke and return stroke) from a ready position is pushed into a removal position, from which it under separation of the Perforation is deducted to the next label, wherein during the return stroke the next - in the standby position - label is printed.
Ein zur Behandlung in einer Vorrichtung der vorstehend beschriebenen Art geeignetes Etikett weist entgegen der Vorschubrichtung einen schmalen zentrischen Abschnitt und anschließend einen breiteren Abschnitt auf, wobei der Vorderrand des schmalen Abschnitts jedes Etiketts am Hinterrand des voraufgehenden Etiketts hängt und dort eine Sollbruchlinie vorgesehen ist, während die beiderseitig freiliegenden Hinterrandabschnitte die Absätze für die Gabel bilden.A suitable for treatment in a device of the type described above Label has a narrow centric counter to the feed direction Section and then a wider section, with the leading edge the narrow portion of each label on the trailing edge of the leading label hangs and there is a predetermined breaking line, while the exposed on both sides Trailing edge sections make the heels for the fork.
