Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Cut label sleeves from a flat Label tube tape, unfolding and attaching the tubular label sleeves on objects according to the The preamble of claim 1 and claim 6.
  • JP-A-9-77032 is said to solve the problem by: the cut label sleeves on a non-linear, approximately an S-shaped transport route Unfolding device are supplied, the non-linear Conveying path the contiguous cutting edges of the Should loosen label sleeves.
  • the invention has for its object a method and to provide a device that is effective and reliable removal of the leading edge from Should allow label sleeves before unfolding.
  • this task is performed by the identifying Features of claim 1 and device side by the characterizing features of claim 6 solved.
  • a separate electromotive servo drive is provided, are amplitude, period, phase position and mean Conveying speed very comfortable in connection with a programmable controller to different Label properties (length, diameter, material, etc.) adaptable, and the corresponding parameters can be adjusted at a Conversion can be retrieved from a memory.
  • the entire device 1 is just above the horizontal Circulation plane from on a closed track towards F revolving expanding jaw units 50 of a machine for Covering label sleeves E on objects such as bottles or the like. Positioned adjustable in height.
  • a corresponding Machine is detailed in the international Patent application WO 00/66437 disclosed.
  • a Spreading jaw unit 50 each has two vertically behind curved half-shells 54 pointing above, the curvature of which corresponds to the External shape of the object to be labeled, e.g. B. Beverage bottle, is adjusted.
  • Each half-shell 54 is one externally radially controlled pressure body 55, z. B. elastic rubber buffer, assigned.
  • the construction and the Function of these expanding jaws 50 is in detail in the previous WO 00/66437 mentioned.
  • the belt conveyor 12a essentially becomes vertical arranged vacuum box 13a and one vertically thereon slidably formed endless flat belt 11a.
  • the Movement path of the perforated flat belt 11a is by several deflecting and tensioning rollers 10a, a drive wheel 9a and two deflection rollers 7a and 8a attached to the vacuum box 13a determined, the upper pulley 7a tight is located immediately below the fixed knife 4a, while the lower deflection roller 8a on the unfolding mandrel 20th zoom ranges.
  • the diametrically the belt conveyor 12a opposite belt conveyor 12b also has a vertically arranged vacuum box 13b and one thereon vertically driven flat belts 11b, whose orbit by deflecting and tensioning rollers 10b, one Drive roller 9b and one rotatable on the vacuum box 13b mounted upper pulley 7b and a lower pulley 8b is fixed in the region of the unfolding mandrel 20.
  • the upper pulley 7b is located some distance below the rotating one Knife roller 4b, i.e.
  • Friction belt 6 In the space between the rotating knife roller 4b and the upper deflection roller 7b of the belt conveyor 12b is a arranged drivable friction element which at present embodiment in the form of a Deflection roller 5a and a drive roller 5b out Friction belt 6 is formed, the flat belt 11a-pointing strand lies parallel to it.
  • This friction belt 6 preferably has an approximately the Corresponding length of a single label sleeve Longitudinal extension (center distance 5a to 5b).
  • the two bottom have Deflection rollers 8a and 8b of the belt conveyor 12a, 12b one mutual horizontal distance and the bottom End regions of the vacuum boxes 13a, 13b have one of the vertical downward conveying direction of the Label sleeves E widen laterally outwards Contour course on one in the direction of the folding mandrel 20 gusset opening between the flat belts 11a and 11b results in the upper, wedge-shaped tapered end of the otherwise cylindrical unfolding mandrel 20 hineinerstreckt.
  • the two vacuum boxes 13a, 13b are each on their own horizontal guides adjustable so that you mutual distance and thus also that of the flat belt 11a and 11b continuously to adapt to the properties (Material thickness etc.) of the label sleeves is adjustable.
  • By at least one of the deflection rollers 10a and 10b Tension of the flat belts 11a and 11b adjustable.
  • the vertically oriented unfolding mandrel 20 is free of two rotatably supported support rollers 22a and 22b in itself kept in a known manner. In the unfolding mandrel 20 are not shown, with the support rollers interacting bearing rollers that control the altitude of the Set up folding mandrel 20, but at the same time the implementation of label sleeves E by means of on opposite Allow side-engaging belt conveyor 27a and 27b.
  • the Belt conveyor 27a has a flat belt 26a, which has a upper, arranged just below the deflection roller 8a Deflection roller 21a, a lower deflection roller 23a Drive roller 25a and deflection or tensioning rollers 24a on one closed path is guided vertically. In exactly that in the same way is the flat belt 26b of the belt conveyor 27b performed in a mirror image arrangement.
  • the lower end of the unfolding mandrel 20 projects above the lower ones Deflection rollers 23a and 23b vertically downwards, in this Area just below the pulleys 23a and 23b two Accelerating rollers 28a and 28b are positioned.
  • the feed rollers 3, the cutting unit 4, the belt conveyors 12a and 12b, the belt conveyors 27a and 27b, and the Acceleration rolls 28 have their own, in FIG. 1 Electromotive servo drives, not shown, which a common control 14 (FIG. 3) speed and position synchronous workflow of the allow mentioned facilities.
  • the controller 14 with one in the actual labeling machine arranged rotary encoder 19 in Connection, whereby the controller 15 for the servo drive Belt conveyor 12a, 12b and possibly also 27a, 27b and the Servo drive 16 for the periodically non-uniform friction belt 6 to be driven exactly in position movement serving as a reference variable Can control spreading jaw units 50 of the labeling machine.
  • a flat-lying hose band S is one Label tube roll R pulled off, over a Dancer roll memory T and pulleys 17 the gap of the touching feed rollers 3, which Hose band a the printed image or invisible Sensor 18 recognizes markings.
  • the signals of the Sensors enable the electric servo drive of the Feed rollers 3 a corresponding to the print image positionally accurate supply of the label tube tape S to the Cutting device 4.
  • the mean speed Vm of the periodically non-uniform movement Vu corresponds to that continuously constant speed Vg des Flat belt 11a so that the two lie on top of each other Cut edges of the label sleeve E after leaving the Friction belt 6 again in parallel to each other are located.
  • the movement sequence described is repeated periodically with each newly cut label sleeve E.
  • the two flat sides become one cut label sleeve E when passing through the parallel extending sections of the two vacuum boxes 13a and 13b through the perforation openings in the flat belts sucked on the flat belts 11a and 11b.
  • the subsequent downward movement of the label sleeve becomes this due to the V-shaped lower area of the opposite vacuum boxes 13a and 13b continuously opened so that the tip of the unfolding mandrel 20 Dip into the opening of the label sleeve E can.
