Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a labeling machine for labeling products continuously. More specifically, the invention relates to a labeling machine that, by means of solutions that are simpler and cheaper than conventional ones, allows to avoid machine downtimes for replacing the reels of labels.
  • labeling machines have a labeling head, which is fed by a reel whereto the labels to be placed on the products are applied.
  • Some known solutions adopt a so-called master-slave system, in which the products are labeled by using two separate labeling machines arranged side by side. Substantially, the two labeling machines, each provided with its own control unit, are not connected one another, and a device for sensing the presence of the label is interposed between the two machine bodies. Such device is always active and checks all the products that pass between the two machine bodies.
  • Each labeling machine has its own control unit, and between the machines there is an electronic connection for managing nonstop operation; this solution provides for the use of two separate electronic units, which are functionally preset to label all the passing products without machine stops.
  • the aim of the invention is to reduce the constructive complexities described above, by providing a labeling machine for labeling products continuously which comprises a smaller number of components than known solutions, which in practice provide for two separate labeling machines.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a machine that though being structurally simplified is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a labeling machine that can be obtained easily starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and is also competitive from a merely economical standpoint.
  • a labeling machine for labeling products continuously comprising a first machine body and a second machine body which are separate, each body being adapted to label products, characterized in that it comprises a single driving unit for the selective activation of said first and second machine bodies, said single driving unit being connected to switching means, which activate alternately said first and second machine bodies according to signals that arrive from the operating field.
  • the machine according to the invention comprises power supply means 2, which are adapted to receive in input electric power 3 for supplying the machine, which comprises a first machine body 10 and a second machine body 11 which are separate.
  • the power supply means are connected to a single driving unit 4, which is bidirectionally connected to electronic user interface means 5, which are advantageously driven by a control software 6 and receive signals from the operating field of the first and second machine bodies.
  • the driving unit is therefore shared by the first and second machine bodies.
  • the signals from the operating field are generally designated by the reference numeral 7, while the first and second machine bodies by 10 and 11.
  • One of the machine bodies for example the one arranged downstream of the labeling line, or as an alternative each machine body, is provided with means for visually identifying the product to be labeled, which are designated by the reference numerals 12 and 13, respectively, for the visual identification means of the first and second machine bodies.
  • the means 12 and 13 for visually identifying the product to be labeled send their respective signals to the electronic user interface means 5.
  • the electronic user interface means 5 drive switching means 8, which switch between the first and second machine bodies 10 and 11, according to the operating conditions of the machine.
  • the machine according to the invention comprises separate machine bodies 10 and 11, which are adapted to perform product labeling operations independently, driven by the individual driving units 4 and by single electronic user interface means 5, which drive switching means 8 and allow to switch the operation of the machine from one machine body to another machine body.
  • Operation of the machine according to the invention entails that the downstream machine body, for example the machine body 11, is activated first and therefore all the products that pass at the machine body 11 and are sensed by the visual product identification means 13 are labeled.
  • control returns to the downstream machine body 11, by way of switching means 8, so that the machine body 11 resumes labeling, with a moment in which both machine bodies 10 and 11 are simultaneously inactive, since the electronic system acquires the number of products contained between the two machine bodies and therefore already labeled by the upstream machine body, which obviously must not be labeled by the downstream machine body.
  • These signals are encoder signals, alarm signals of the machine body 10 and of the machine body 11, signals of the visual product identification means 12 and 13, label sensors of the machine body 10 and label sensors of the machine body 11, signals indicating that the reel is about to end for the machine body 10 and a similar signal for the machine body 11.
  • the means 12 and 13, or at least means 12, for visually identifying the product to be labeled are instead always active and are connected to the electronic means for interfacing with the user 5.
  • the machine according to the invention provides for a labeling machine that is constituted by two machine bodies 10 and 11, controlled by a single driving unit, which is connected to switching means that allow the alternating operation of the machine body 10 and of the machine body 11 and vice versa, according to the conditions of approaching label reel end, i.e., controlled alarm, or in case of breakage of the siliconized backing; i.e., in any case in which every single machine body is disabled to operate.
  • the components used may be any according to requirements of the market and to options of the state of the art.
