Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Modulträger zur Verwendung an Flaschenbehandlungsmaschinen, welche in Modulbauweise ausgeführt sind.The invention relates to a module carrier for use on bottle handling machines, which are designed in modular design.
Bei der Behandlung, beispielsweise Etikettierung von Behältern wie z.B. Flaschen oder Dosen mit verschiedensten Etiketten, sind je nach der Art des Etiketts unterschiedliche Aggregate erforderlich.In the treatment, for example labeling of containers such as e.g. Bottles or cans with a variety of labels, depending on the type of label different units are required.
So erfordern z.B. die häufig verwendeten Papier-Etiketten zumindest ein Etikettenmagazin, eine Leimwalze, Leimsegmente, ein Leimsegmentkarusell und einen Greiferzylinder. Selbstklebe-Etiketten erfordern hingegen z.B. einen Etikettenbandspeicher, ein Schneidwerk und eine Übertragungsvorrichtung.Thus, e.g. the frequently used paper labels at least a label magazine, a glue roller, glue segments, a glue segment carousel and a gripper cylinder. Self-adhesive labels, however, require e.g. a label tape storage, a cutting unit and a transfer device.
Es ist zum Beispiel aus der DE 197 41 476 bekannt, Etikettiermaschinen in Modulbauweise auszuführen. Dabei werden die zur Etikettierung erforderlichen Aggregate zu einer separaten Einheit bzw. zu einem Modul zusammengefasst und als solche austauschbar an der Etikettiermaschine angebracht.It is known for example from DE 197 41 476 to carry out labeling machines in modular design. In this case, the units required for labeling are combined into a separate unit or module and mounted as such interchangeably on the labeling machine.
Bei einer Änderung der Behälterausstattung, z.B. durch einen Wechsel der verwendeten Etiketten oder einer Veränderung deren Anzahl am Behälter, wird das gesamte Modul mit wenigen Handgriffen ausgetauscht, was zu einer deutlichen Reduzierung der bislang auftretenden Stillstandszeiten führt.When changing the container equipment, e.g. By changing the labels used or a change in their number on the container, the entire module is replaced in a few simple steps, resulting in a significant reduction in the previously occurring downtime.
Weitere Vorteile dieser Vorgehensweise ergeben sich dadurch, dass Einstellund/oder Wartungsarbeiten an den Aggregaten eines Moduls hauptzeitparallel d.h. ohne Unterbrechung des eigentlichen Produktionsprozesses durchgeführt werden können.Further advantages of this procedure result from the fact that adjustment and / or maintenance work on the aggregates of a module parallel to the main time, ie. can be performed without interruption of the actual production process.
Noch weiter greift eine weitere Anmeldung der Antragstellerin mit dem Aktenzeichen DE 103 06 671.3. Im Rahmen dieser Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, nicht nur die für die eigentliche Etikettierung der Behälter erforderlichen Aggregate zu einem Modul zusammen zu fassen, sondern auch weitere an einer Etikettiermaschine fallweise erforderliche Funktionen und die zu deren Realisierung erforderlichen Bauteile zu jeweils einem Modul zusammen zu fassen. Bei diesen Funktionen kann es sich z.B. um eine Ausrichtfunktion für nicht rotationssymmetrische Behälter oder um eine Kontrollfunktion für das Etikettierergebnis oder aber auch um eine Beschriftungsfunktion für die etikettierten Behälter (z.B. Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum) handeln. Ferner ist aus WO 92/12086 A ein Modulträper gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt.Still further engages a further application of the applicant with the file number DE 103 06 671.3. In the context of this invention, it is proposed not only to summarize the aggregates required for the actual labeling of the containers to form a module, but also to combine additional functions required on a labeling machine and the components required for their realization into one module at a time. These functions may, for example, be an alignment function for non-rotationally symmetrical containers or a control function for the labeling result or else a labeling function for the labeled containers (eg best-before date). Furthermore, from WO 92/12086 A a module carrier according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.
Die bislang in der Technik bekannt gewordenen Vorrichtungen, welche die zur Etikettierung von Behältern erforderlichen Aggregate zu einem austauschbaren Modul zusammenfassen, weisen den Nachteil auf, dass diese Module trotz ihrer hohen Masse von einigen hundert Kilogramm keine Mittel beinhalten, welche den Transport dieser Einheiten erleichtern.The hitherto known in the art devices, which combine the necessary equipment for labeling containers to a replaceable module, have the disadvantage that these modules, despite their high mass of a few hundred kilograms include no means that facilitate the transport of these units.
Die Bedeutung dieses Nachteils tritt umso deutlicher zu Tage, wenn man sich vor Augen führt, dass diese Module in der Regel über weite Strecken von ihrem Lagerplatz bzw. dem Einrichteraum zu den Etikettiermaschinen bewegt werden müssen, wobei diese Strecken innerhalb bestehender und in Betrieb befindlichen Produktionsanlagen zurück gelegt werden müssen. Darüber hinaus sind zur Andockung zusätzliche Hubgeräte u. dgl. erforderlich.The importance of this disadvantage is all the more evident when one realizes that these modules usually have to be moved over long distances from their storage space or the Einrichteraum to the labeling, these routes within existing and in-service production facilities have to be put back. In addition, additional lifting devices u are for docking. Like. Required.
Ferner ist zu beachten, dass die Wege- und Produktionsflächen derartiger Anlagen, aufgrund der mit diesen Flächen verbundenen hohen Kosten, in der Regel knapp bemessen sind, so dass die Verwendung von Gabelstaplern, Hubwagen oder ähnlicher Flurförderfahrzeuge häufig nur bedingt möglich ist.It should also be noted that the infrastructure and production areas of such facilities, due to the high costs associated with these areas, are usually tight, so that the use of forklifts, pallet trucks or similar industrial trucks is often only possible to a limited extent.
Aufgabe und Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, hier Abhilfe und Verbesserung zu schaffen, so dass die oben beschriebenen Nachteile vermieden werden. Dazu schlägt die vorliegende Erfindung einen Modulträger dem Anspruch 1 und den weiteren Unteransprüchen vor.Object and purpose of the present invention is to provide a remedy and improvement, so that the disadvantages described above are avoided. For this purpose, the present invention proposes a module carrier to claim 1 and the other dependent claims.
Im Nachfolgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments.
Im Einzelnen zeigt die

Weiterbildungen, Vorteile und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen und der Zeichnung. Gleichzeitig wird der Inhalt der Ansprüche zu einem Bestandteil der Beschreibung gemacht.Further developments, advantages and applications of the invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments and the drawings. At the same time, the content of the claims is made part of the description.
Wie in der Figur 1 dargestellt, besteht ein erfindungsgemäßer Modulträger zunächst aus einem Grundträger 1. Oberhalb dieses Grundträgers 1 sind alle zur Etikettierung und/oder Behandlung der Behälter erforderlichen Aggregate angeordnet. Diese können je nach Etikettentyp und/oder Anzahl der zu verarbeitenden Etiketten und/oder Art der Behandlungsaufgabe nach Art und/oder Menge variieren.As shown in FIG. 1, a module carrier according to the invention initially comprises a base carrier 1. Above this basic carrier 1, all the units required for labeling and / or treating the containers are arranged. These may vary depending on the type of label and / or the number of labels to be processed and / or the type of treatment task depending on the type and / or quantity.
Unterhalb des Grundträgers 1 befindet sich eine Transportvorrichtung 2. Diese Transportvorrichtung 2 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Grundrahmen 3 und mehreren an diesem befestigten Laufrollen 4. Zusätzlich kann an dem Grundrahmen 3 ein Schaltschrank 5 angeordnet sein, welcher alle zur Steuerung der auf dem Grundträger 1 angeordneten Aggregate erforderlichen elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteile aufnimmt.This
Die Verbindung zwischen Grundträger 1 und Transportvorrichtung 2 stellt eine Hubvorrichtung 6 her. Bei dieser Hubvorrichtung 6 kann es sich z.B., wie in der Figur 1 dargestellt, um ein Hubspindelgetriebe 7 handeln. In weiteren Ausgestaltungen der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dieses Hubspindelgetriebe 7 durch andere in der Technik bekannte Hubmittel zu ersetzen. Bei diesen Mitteln kann es sich z.B. um eine Scherenhubmechanik ähnlich einem bekannten Scherenhubtisch, oder aber auch um eine mit Hydraulikzylindern arbeitende Konstruktion handeln.
Auch die Anwendung weiterer in der Technik bekannter, hier nicht explizit behandelter Hubmittel kann vorgesehen sein.The connection between base support 1 and
The use of further known in the art, not explicitly treated here lifting means may be provided.
Bezüglich der Hubvorrichtung 6 ist vorgesehen, dass die erforderliche Antriebsenergie entweder durch eine dem Modulträger zugehörige Energiequelle, z.B. einem Akkumulator für elektrische Energie, oder aber unter Verwendung einer lösbaren Stekkerverbindung, durch die eigentliche Etikettiermaschine oder aber auch durch die Muskelkraft des Bedienungspersonals zur Verfügung gestellt wird.With regard to the
In einer weiteren Fortbildung der Erfindung ist für den Fall, dass dem Modulträger eine eigene Energiequelle zugeordnet ist, vorgesehen, die Laufrollen 4 motorisch anzutreiben, wodurch sich weitere Vorteile für die Handhabung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ergeben.In a further development of the invention, in the event that the module carrier is assigned its own energy source, it is provided to drive the
Der Arbeitsablauf mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung stellt sich wie folgt dar.The workflow with a device according to the invention is as follows.
Zunächst befindet sich die Hubvorrichtung 6 in einer hohen, aktivierten ersten Bereitstellungsposition, wodurch der Grundträger 1 um ein bestimmtes Maß über die Oberkante des Maschinentisches 8 der Etikettiermaschine hinaus gehoben wird. Anschließend wird der gesamte Modulträger so positioniert, dass sich die fest mit dem Grundträger 1 verbundene Zentrierbuchse 9 im Wesentlichen mittig über dem mit dem Maschinentisch verbundenen Zentrierstift 10 befindet.First, the
Ist dieses der Fall, so wird die Hubvorrichtung 6 abgesenkt, wodurch die Zentrierbuchse 9 eine Wirkverbindung mit dem Zentrierstift 10 eingeht, also eine zweite Zentrier- und Arbeitsposition einnimmt.If this is the case, then the
Im weiteren Ablauf des Vorganges kann die Hubvorrichtung 6 weiter in eine nicht aktive Position verfahren werden, wodurch die Laufrollen 4 angehoben werden und sich schließlich komplett vom Hallenboden lösen.In the further course of the process, the
Durch diese Vorgehensweise wird erreicht, dass die Ausrichtung der gesamten Etikettier- bzw. Behandlungsaggregate einzig und allein von den geometrischen Gegebenheiten der Etikettiermaschine, bzw. der an ihren Anschlagelementen 11 vorgenommenen Einstellungen bestimmt wird und nicht von der zufälligen Gestalt des Hallenbodens.This procedure ensures that the orientation of the entire labeling or treatment units is determined solely by the geometric conditions of the labeling machine, or the settings made on their
In der Figur 2 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Modulträger in der Arbeitsposition dargestellt.FIG. 2 shows a module carrier according to the invention in the working position.
Es ist deutlich zu erkennen, dass sich die Laufrollen 4 vom Hallenboden gelöst haben, und dass Positionierung und Fixierung der Einheit ausschließlich durch die Wirkverbindung zwischen Zentrierbuchse 9 und Zentrierstift 10 und die Anschlagelemente 11 bestimmt wird.It can be clearly seen that the
In einer weiteren Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die auf dem Grundträger 1 angeordneten Aggregate Mittel beinhalten, welche eine lineare und/oder rotatorische Anpassung ihrer Ausrichtung zumindest in einer der drei Raumachsen gestatten. Durch diese Vorgehensweise kann z.B. bei einem Behälterwechsel auf einfache Art und Weise eine Anpassung der Etikettierposition bzw. der Etikettenausrichtung an den neuen Behälter vorgenommen werden.
Zur Lösung einer derartigen Positionierungsaufgabe sind in der Technik zahlreiche Lösungen bekannt geworden, so dass an dieser Stelle auf eine weitere Behandlung dieser Thematik verzichtet werden kann.In a further development of the present invention, it is provided that the units arranged on the base support 1 include means which allow a linear and / or rotational adjustment of their orientation in at least one of the three spatial axes. By means of this procedure, it is possible to adapt the labeling position or the label orientation to the new container in a simple manner, for example, during a container change.
To solve such a positioning task numerous solutions have become known in the art, so that can be dispensed with a further treatment of this issue at this point.
