Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for a spreading device for label tubes, especially in sleeve labeling machines.
  • roll-feed machines In addition to labeling machines that process sheet-like paper labels, so-called roll-feed machines have also found their way into the technology. In these machines, for reasons of cost savings, no labels are used in sheet form, but there are thinner plastic labels use, which are wound in large numbers as a continuous tape on a roll. For labeling, individual labels are cut from this roll and then wrapped around the container and there, e.g. attached by gluing.
  • Another type of labeling machines are so-called sleeve machines.
  • plastic labels are used, which are wound in large numbers as a continuous tape on a roll.
  • the plastic tape is formed as a tube, so that the labels after cutting form a tube section, which is inverted as a whole over the container.
  • the adhesion of this hose section to the container can be achieved in two main ways. First, there is the possibility of shrinking the tube section after slipping over the container by supplying energy, for example by the supply of hot air, whereby the tube section is mounted on the container.
  • the inner diameter is selected so that the tube section for slipping over the container - in the elastic region - is slightly stretch. After slipping this strain forms back and the tube section adheres to the container.
  • Such labeling machines are used, inter alia, in the beverage industry, in the packaging of foods or pharmaceuticals.
  • dome An essential component of sleeve labeling machines is the so-called dome.
  • the dome serves to bring the initially flat label tube into a round shape and to guide it through the labeling machine. For this purpose, the dome is inserted into the label tube and then locked in the labeling machine.
  • the dome has a round shape and has at its upper end a more or less pronounced tip.
  • the mandrel In installation position, the mandrel extends substantially vertically from top to bottom.
  • rollers Viewed in the longitudinal direction of the dome, rollers are disposed on its periphery at one or more mounting positions. These rollers are each two rollers which form a pair of rollers, with the axes of the rollers being aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the mandrel.
  • two, three or four roller pairs are evenly distributed around the circumference of the dome.
  • the labeling machine rotatably driven rollers, which are brought into operative connection with the roller pairs of the mandrel described above, whereby the mandrel is held in a form-fitting manner in the labeling machine.
  • the label tube can be transported across the mandrel by the rotational movement of the rollers of the labeling machine down.
  • a running around the entire circumference groove This groove forms the free cutting ground for a, arranged outside the label tube cutting device.
  • a pivotable knife which is fastened in a holder which can be driven at varying speeds.
  • the knife describes a concentric to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel circular path and pivots at higher speeds of the holder, by centrifugal force in an inner position in which the label tube is separated.
  • the separated label tube piece is transported further down the mandrel by further combinations of rotary driven rollers and roller pairs.
  • At the lower end of the mandrel of the label tube is usually detected by a gripping device and placed over the container. Then the process can start again.
  • the task of the present invention namely to provide this remedy and improvement, so that when cutting the label tube while maintaining good cutting quality can be worked with higher speeds, resulting in shorter cycle times can be achieved.
  • the invention provides that means are provided which spread the label tube during the separation process or tighten, so that the label tube can no longer pose in front of the knife during the cut and the cut can be made with high cutting speed and quality.
  • the present invention solves the problem by the use of one or more movable, adapted to the inner diameter of the label tube pressure body 1, wherein these are arranged or stored within the dome 2.
  • These pressure bodies 1 can be arbitrarily shaped components, which, however, due to their external shape and their attachment within the mandrel 2, must be able to spread or tighten the label tube 5 from the inside.
  • Pressure body 1 proved, which have the shape of a circular ring segment.
  • the pressure bodies 1 have on their outer side a groove 3, which forms the free cutting ground for the knife of the cutting device 4.
  • These pressure bodies 1 are designed such that they allow their movement outwards in the direction of the label tube 5, whereby it is spread and tightened, which allows a clean cut with high cutting speed.
  • peripheral surfaces 11 and the tip 12 of the dome 2 are constantly and completely covered by the label tube 5 during the entire course of the labeling process and this may not be damaged, arise for the structural design of the operation of the pressure hull 1 particular challenges.
  • switching rollers 6 can be provided on the labeling machine, which are fed radially to the dome 2 for actuating the spreading device.
  • means which implement the feed movement of the switching rollers 6 in the spreading movement of the pressure body 1.
  • These means may be, for example, lever 7 with counter-roller 6 '.
  • the feed movement of the switching rollers 6 are also transmitted to the pressure hull 1 by pneumatic or hydraulic components.
  • the pressure bodies 1 can be provided to actuate the pressure bodies 1 from outside the label tube 5 by electromagnetic means.
  • at least one electromagnet is arranged on the labeling machine so that it acts on the mandrel 2 in the activated state.
  • the located in the cathedral pressure hull 1 are made entirely or partially of magnetic material in this type of actuation. If the at least one electromagnet is actuated by a machine control, not shown, the pressure bodies 1 move outwards and spread the label tube 5.
  • Such an electromagnet can also be arranged in the cutting device 4 or coupled to it in terms of control, so that when it is retracted, an extension or activation of the pressure body 1 takes place simultaneously.
  • the first task is to provide the required for the actuation of the pressure hull 1 energy within the mandrel 2.
  • it is initially advisable to provide one or more accumulators 8 for electrical energy within the mandrel 2.
  • the at least one accumulator 8 is arranged at the lower end of the mandrel 2, so that it changed without disassembly of the mandrel 2, or without the removal of the label tube 5 from the mandrel 2 or its removal from the labeller can be.
  • an induction energy transmitter 9 is arranged on the labeling machine. Inside the dome 2 is an induction energy receiver 10, which collects the electromagnetic pulses sent by the induction energy transmitter 9 and converts them back into electrical energy.
  • Electromagnets 11 or electric motors and / or electrical adjusting devices may be provided which move the pressure bodies 1.
  • Embodiments may also be provided which allow the pressure bodies 1 to be moved due to electrostatic charging.
  • the pressure hull 1 perform a particularly large area and face them at least as large area and to apply both surfaces with an identical, the highest possible voltage.
  • a small computer can also be arranged inside the mandrel 2.
  • so-called single-board computers offer, which can take over switching, measuring and control tasks with a small size.
  • sensors may also be arranged which, with or without operative connection with the minicomputer, e.g. the power supply, monitor the feed rate of the label tube 5 and / or control.
  • suitable means may be provided in all described embodiments variants. These agents may be e.g. to act springs, magnets or the like.
