Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for attaching carrying handles Any material on containers of all kinds.
  • individually packaged goods such as e.g. bottled drinks
  • larger containers These will then be e.g. to so-called Assembled tray packs.
  • Assembled tray packs e.g. 6 bottles by means of a cardboard bottom and a shrink film assembled into a mechanically stable sales unit.
  • the handle is a plastic band, which is one-sided self-adhesive is executed.
  • this plastic band pressed by suitable devices on each side of the container and thus Also glued to this is the adhesive side of the middle piece of this Plastic tape usually with a paper strip pasted to a sticking to avoid the customer's finger on this tape and to training one Strap to ensure.
  • a disadvantage of this method is that any change in the shape of the handle, be it the total length, the length of the splices or the length of the strap involves a change of the plastic strip.
  • a plastic strip is first used, which completely self-adhesive on one side. Inside the machine, which handles attaches, is now the lying between the two desired splices Section of this plastic tape provided with a paper strip, wherein the required splices remain free at the beginning and at the end of the strip.
  • the Applizierwerkmaschine consists essentially of a three-arm rotor whose horizontal axis of rotation transverse to the conveying direction of Container is arranged. Each of these rotor arms is with a tape guide, a Holding tool and a cutting tool equipped. Between the rotor arms, near the hub of the rotor, there is a vacuum probe, which is the Plastic tape should tighten without contact, so that the plastic tape ends of the Rotor arms not directly in a straight line connects but essentially the inner contour the rotor follows. The actual attachment of the handle is done by that the containers drive against a first rotor arm and thereby the beginning take over the carrying handle. Then the containers go under the rotating Rotor through and are from each subsequent rotor arm with the End of the handle provided, which is located at the end of each rotor arm Cutting tool divides the plastic band division justice.
  • the device has a centered about a transversely to the transport direction of the container arranged drivable Turn plate on.
  • the radially outer ends of the rotary plate are each rounded and with two L-shaped levers as holding means for fixing the one-sided with a partially covered adhesive layer provided endless belt and with a radially extendable cutting edge as a separating device for separating the Carrying handle provided by the plastic band.
  • the Turning plate perpendicular and protrudes with a first end in the transport path of the container, wherein on the, the containers side facing one of the length of the later Carrying handle corresponding section of the plastic tape with outwardly directed Adhesive layer is held between the two ends of the rotary plate.
  • On incoming container hits with his, defined in relation to the transport direction Front, on the rotary plate, eliminating the beginning of the handle on the container is attached.
  • the turntable rotates over 180 degrees from, wherein the container moves simultaneously to a certain extent, so that the rotational movement concludes in that the second end of the Turn plate touches the back of the container.
  • Object and purpose of the present invention is to remedy and improve to create so that a device is presented that the above Disadvantage avoids and easily on a variety of container dimensions can be adjusted.
  • an application device is provided with one on flexible tension members such as e.g. Timing belt based X-Y positioning unit to combine.
  • the handle dispenser initially consists of a Base frame 1.
  • the containers to be provided with a carrying handle are replaced by a transported in the art known belt conveyor, wherein the container first as a closed row, ie without a gap between the individual containers, are arranged.
  • a second conveyor 2 which has a higher belt speed, the containers are on the second Transporter 2 arranged at a distance from each other.
  • a flexible tension members based X-Y positioning unit On a side wall of the base frame 1 in the vertical direction above the container 3 is arranged on a flexible tension members based X-Y positioning unit, which carries an application head 4 at its lower end of the Y-axis.
  • the application head 4 initially comprises two pressure rollers 5, a cutting device 6 and a gripping device 7.
  • the plastic tape is supplied to the application head 4 from a tape storage via a feed device, not shown, and a roller with a backstop. There, the plastic band is first held by a gripping device 7.
  • the gripping device 7 may be a vacuum gripper, mechanical, electrostatic or otherwise operating gripping devices.
  • the application head 4 is located in the Gap between two containers. Through a sensor, which upstream of the container is arranged laterally of the container flow, it is indicated that the leading edge of the next container has reached a certain position, whereby the working cycle is started.
  • This sensor may be e.g. to act a contact sensor, which triggers when in direct physical contact with the next Container is coming.
  • it can also be a proximity switch, which triggers when the next container within a certain Distance from it is located.
  • the application head 4 touches the front of the container and attached so that the beginning of the handle on this. Subsequently, the application head moves 4 in the conveying direction of the container 3 and at the same time in the height, whereby the remaining surface of the first adhesive strip is pressed against the container wall.
  • the length of the strap is determined in any way.
  • the Length of the strap can also be determined by the application head 4 traverses the trailing edge of the container by a certain amount, wherein A combination of both additional routes is possible.
  • the application head 4 has a position perpendicular to the trailing edge of the container 3, it follows its horizontal movement direction, first touches the upper trailing edge of the container 3 and attached at this point the beginning of the second adhesive strip of the carrying handle. For complete attachment of the carrying handle the application head 4 continues to follow the horizontal movement of the container 3 and moves simultaneously in the direction of the container bottom of the container 3, which also the remaining length of the second adhesive strip is securely fastened to the container 3.
  • the cutting device 6 cuts through the plastic strip and the application head 4 presses the still loose end of the carrying handle against the container 3. Subsequently, the application head returns to the starting position of the working cycle, whereby a work cycle is completed.
  • a significant advantage of the present invention is that the movements the X-Y positioning unit 8 and thus also the application head 4 by a change of the programmed motion sequence in a simple way and adapted to changed container dimensions or equipment requirements can be.
  • the drive motors 9 of the X-Y positioning 8 are designed as servo drives. This means that each drive motor 9 with a desired value transmitter for the turns to be made by him equipped, in addition to the absolute rotation angle and more Parameters such as Direction of rotation, rotational speeds, angular accelerations and angular delays can be specified.
  • each motor has an actual value transmitter, e.g. an absolute value encoder, which determines the rotational movements actually carried out by the engine and to a likewise associated with the engine control unit forwards.
  • an actual value transmitter e.g. an absolute value encoder
  • Within this control unit are those of the motors received actual values are constantly compared with the setpoint values and, where appropriate necessary corrections initiated.
  • Another great advantage of the present invention is that a change the container size no height adjustment of units or system parts required.
  • a device according to the invention only a small gap between the individual containers needed. In the Practice has been found that a gap of 120 mm is sufficient. Known On the other hand, devices require gaps of at least 190 mm.
  • the application head 4 with at least a spray device for liquid or hot liquid adhesives is provided.
  • this refinement may be based on the use of self-adhesive starting materials are omitted for the carrying handles, resulting in the following advantages: Use of a cheaper starting material and increased storage capacity the strip material storage, as arranged between the two splices Paper strips can be omitted.
  • two variants are provided.
  • two spray devices are used, which are arranged on the application head 4 such that one each sprayed the front and the back of the container 3 with adhesive, whereby the beginning and end of the handle can be glued to the container 3.
  • only one spraying device is used, which, however, is designed to be pivotable at least about one axis, so that this individual spraying device can also spray the front and back of the container 3 with adhesive. It is particularly advantageous if the pivoting movement is effected by a, controlled by the control and regulation unit, motor drive, and it is irrelevant what type of drive it is.
