Description

Anlage zur Herstellung gefalteter EtikettenPlant for the production of folded labels
Technisches GebietTechnical area
Die Neuerung betrifft eine Anlage zur Herstellung gefalteter Etiketten gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The innovation relates to a system for producing folded labels according to the preamble of claim 1.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Eine Anlage zur Herstellung gefalteter Etiketten der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der US 6 432 235 B bekannt. Die Anlage enthält einen Dispenser für ein Band aus Etiketten, dem eine Faltstation für mindestens eine Falte des Etiket¬ tenbandes folgt. An diese schliesst sich eine Fixierstation zum Fixieren der Falte an, gefolgt von einer Pufferstation für das gefaltete Etikett, die in eine Schneidstation überleitet, die zum Abschneiden einzelner gefalteter Etiketten vom Etikettenband dient. Nachteilig bei dieser Anlage ist es, dass für die FaIt- Station und die Fixierstation eine einzige Fördervorrichtung in Form eines För¬ derbandes vorgesehen ist, welches einerseits das Etikettenband vom Dispen¬ ser abzieht und andererseits das gefaltete Etikettenband kontinuierlich fort¬ schreitend linear durch die Fixierstation bewegt. Durch die fortlaufende konti¬ nuierliche Bewegung des gefalteten Bandes in de'.^ixierstation kann die Presskraft nur beschränkt sein, damit gewährleistet ist, dass das Band auch weitertransportiert werden kann. Dies beinhaltet die Gefahr, dass die Fixierung des gefalteten Bandes unzureichend ist. Dies wirkt sich besonders nachteilig bei Etikettenbändern mit schwankender Dicke aus, wie dies bei stark gemus¬ terten Etikettenbändern der Fall ist, bei denen flottierende Musterfäden starke Unstetigkeitsstellen bilden, die einen laufenden Wechsel der Banddicke zur Folge haben. Weiter ist es nachteilig, dass das Förderband nicht auf die durch die thermischen Einflüsse bestimmten Längenänderungen des Etikettenbandes reagieren kann, was sich ebenfalls nachteilig auf eine exakte Thermofixierung des gefalteten Bandes auswirkt.A system for the production of folded labels of the aforementioned type is known from US 6 432 235 B. The system contains a dispenser for a strip of labels followed by a folding station for at least one fold of the label strip. This is followed by a fuser fixation station followed by a folded label buffer station which leads into a cutting station used to cut individual folded labels from the label tape. A disadvantage of this system is that for the FaIt- station and the fuser a single conveyor device is provided in the form of a För¬ derbandes which on the one hand deducts the label strip from Dispen¬ ser and on the other hand, the folded label strip continuously progressing linearly by the fuser emotional. As a result of the continuous continuous movement of the folded strip in the stitching station, the pressing force can only be limited in order to ensure that the strip can also be transported further. This involves the danger that the fixation of the folded band is insufficient. This has a particularly disadvantageous effect on label tapes of varying thickness, as is the case with highly decorated label tapes in which floating pattern threads form strong points of discontinuity which result in a continuous change in the strip thickness. Further, it is disadvantageous that the conveyor belt can not respond to the determined by the thermal influences changes in length of the label tape, which also adversely affects an exact heat-setting of the folded strip.
Darstellung der NeuerungPresentation of the innovation
Aufgabe der Neuerung ist es, eine Anlage der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern. Die Aufgabe wird neuerungsgemäss gelöst durch die kennzeichnenden Merk¬ male des Anspruches 1. Dadurch, dass zwischen dem Dispenser und der Falt¬ station eine erste Fördervorrichtung und nach der Fixierstation eine zweite Fördervorrichtung vorgesehen sind, die mittels der Steuereinheit intermittie¬ rend betreibbar sind, ergeben sich wesentliche Vorteile. Durch die intermittie¬ rende Bewegung ist es möglich, das gefaltete Etikettenband in der Fixierstati¬ on still zu setzen, wodurch die Fixierstation mit einem heb- und senkbaren Presstempel ausgestattet werden kann, der bei stillstehendem Etikettenband einen beliebig grossen Druck auf das gefaltete Etikettenband ausüben kann. Damit ist eine optimale Fixierung des gefalteten Etikettenbandes selbst bei einem Etikettenband mit wechselnden Dicken gewährleistet. Die zwei Förder¬ vorrichtungen ermöglichen es auch, dass die Fördergeschwindigkeiten der Fördervorrichtungen optimal aufeinander eingestellt werden können, sodass sie auf Längenänderungen während des Fixiervorganges durch eine entspre¬ chende Anpassung der Fördergeschwindigkeit, insbesondere der zweiten För¬ dervorrichtung, ausgeglichen werden können. Das Etikettenband durchläuft somit die FaIt- und Fixierstation stets in optimaler Spannung, wodurch der Fi¬ xiervorgang und damit die Qualität der gefalteten Etikettenbänder wesentlich verbessert werden können.The object of the innovation is to improve a system of the type mentioned. The object is achieved according to the innovation by the characterizing features of claim 1. In that between the dispenser and the folding station, a first conveying device and after the fixing station, a second conveying device are provided, which are intermittie¬ rend operated by the control unit yield significant advantages. As a result of the intermittent movement, it is possible to set the folded label strip in the fixing station to a standstill, whereby the fusing station can be equipped with a raisable and lowerable ram which, when the label band is stationary, can exert any pressure on the folded label band , This ensures optimal fixation of the folded label tape even with a label tape with changing thicknesses. The two conveying devices also make it possible to optimally adjust the conveying speeds of the conveying devices so that they can be compensated for changes in length during the fixing operation by a corresponding adaptation of the conveying speed, in particular of the second conveying device. The label tape thus always passes through the folding and fixing station in optimum tension, whereby the fi x xiervorgang and thus the quality of the folded label strips can be significantly improved.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Anlage sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4 be¬ schrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the system are described in claims 2 to 4 be¬.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 2, wonach die zwei¬ te Fördervorrichtung relativ zur ersten Fördervorrichtung regelbar ist, sodass sie beispielsweise mittels einer Überförderung eine positive Längenänderung des Etikettenbandes während der Behandlung ausgleichen kann.The embodiment according to claim 2, according to which the second conveying device can be regulated relative to the first conveying device, is particularly advantageous, so that it can compensate, for example by means of overfeeding, for a positive change in length of the label strip during the treatment.
Die Schneideinrichtung ist mit einer dritten Fördervorrichtung ausgestattet, welche entsprechend der Länge des abzuschneidenden Etikettes antreibbar und stillsetzbar ist. Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Fördervorrichtung ist in Anspruch 4 be¬ schrieben, wonach diese durch ein Rollenpaar gebildet ist, von denen mindes¬ tens eine Rolle antreibbar ist. Rollenpaare ermöglichen ein sicheres und rutscharmes Fördern des Etikettenbandes.The cutting device is equipped with a third conveying device, which can be driven and stopped according to the length of the label to be cut off. An advantageous embodiment of the conveying device is described in claim 4, according to which it is formed by a pair of rollers, of which at least one roller is drivable. Roller pairs enable safe and low-slip conveying of the label tape.
Kurze Beschreibung der ZeichnungShort description of the drawing
Ausführungsbeispiele der Neuerung werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeich¬ nungen näher beschrieben, dabei zeigt die einzige Figur das Schema einer An¬ lage zur Herstellung gefalteter Etiketten.Exemplary embodiments of the invention will be described in greater detail below with reference to the drawings, in which the single figure shows the diagram of an installation for producing folded labels.
Wege zur Ausführung der NeuerungWays to carry out the innovation
Die einzige Figur zeigt eine Anlage zur Herstellung gefalteter Etiketten 2. Sie enthält einen Dispenser 4 in Form einer Vorratsrolle des zu faltenden Bandes 6 aus Etiketten. Das Band und somit die Etiketten können aus den verschiedens- ten Materialien bestehen. Bevorzugt ist ein schmelzfähiges Material, wie bei¬ spielsweise Polyester. Das Etikettenband kann ein einfacher Streifen aus Flachmaterial sein, vorzugsweise ist es jedoch ein gewebtes Etikettenband. Die Etiketten enthalten die verschiedensten Informationen wie Bilder, Zahlen, Tex¬ te und dergleichen, die aufgedruckt oder vorzugsweise eingewebt sein können.The single FIGURE shows a system for producing folded labels 2. It contains a dispenser 4 in the form of a supply roll of the band to be folded 6 of labels. The tape and thus the labels can consist of the most varied materials. Preference is given to a meltable material, such as polyester, for example. The label tape may be a simple strip of sheet material, but preferably it is a woven label tape. The labels contain a wide variety of information such as images, numbers, text and the like, which may be printed or preferably woven.
Das Etikettenband 6 wird mittels einer ersten Fördervorrichtung 8 aus einem Rollenpaar 10a, 10b, von denen eine Rolle antreibbar ist, von der Vorratsrolle abgezogen. Eine zweite Fördervorrichtung 12, die ebenfalls aus einem Rollen¬ paar 10a, 10b gebildet ist, zieht das Etikettenband 6 zunächst durch eine FaIt- Station 14, in der das Etikettenband 6 mindestens einer Faltung unterworfen wird. Diese Faltung kann beispielsweise längs der Mittellinie des Bandes erfol¬ gen. Es sind aber auch Faltungen der Randbereiche und weitere Faltungsvarianten möglich, so wie dies beispielsweise in der US 6 432 235 B beschrieben ist. Das gefaltete Etikettenband wird dann mittels der zweiten Fördervorrichtung 12 durch die Fixierstation 16 gefördert, die hier beispielsweise aus der nicht obligatorischen Vorheizung 18 und aus der nachfolgenden pressenden Thermofixiervorrichtung 20 gebildet ist. Die Thermofixiervorrichtung 20 enthält eine beheizte Grundplatte 22, über der ein ebenfalls beheizter Pressstempel 24 mittels einer Hubvorrichtung 26 gegen pel 24 mittels einer Hubvorrichtung 26 gegen das auf der Grundplatte 22 lie¬ gende gefaltete Etikettenband 6 pressbar ist.The label strip 6 is withdrawn from the supply roll by means of a first conveying device 8 from a pair of rollers 10a, 10b, of which one roller is drivable. A second conveying device 12, which is likewise formed from a pair of rollers 10a, 10b, initially pulls the label strip 6 through a folding station 14, in which the label strip 6 is subjected to at least one folding. This folding can, for example, take place along the center line of the belt. However, it is also possible to fold the edge regions and to provide further folding variants, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 6,432,235 B. The folded label tape is then conveyed by means of the second conveyor 12 through the fuser 16, which is formed here for example from the non-mandatory preheating 18 and from the subsequent pressing heat-setting device 20. The heat-setting device 20 includes a heated base plate 22, over which a likewise heated plunger 24 by means of a lifting device 26 against pel 24 by means of a lifting device 26 against the lying on the base plate 22 lie¬ lowing folded label strip 6 can be pressed.
An die zweite Fördervorrichtung 12 schliesst sich eine Pufferstation 28 an, die einen Bandvorrat 30 bildet, um in der nachfolgenden Schneidstation 32, die ebenfalls intermittierend arbeitet, einen genügenden Bandvorrat zur Verfü¬ gung zu stellen. Die Schneidstation enthält eine dritte Fördervorrichtung 33 aus einem Rollenpaar 10a, 10b, welche das Etikettenband zu einer Schneid¬ vorrichtung 34 fördert, die beispielsweise nach dem ultrasonischen Prinzip ar- beitet. Die Schneidvorrichtung 34 trennt dann einzelne Etiketten 2 vom Etiket¬ tenband 6 ab, die beispielsweise in einer Stapelvorrichtung 36 aufgefangen werden. Ein beispielsweise optisch arbeitender Sensor 38 dient zur Ermittlung der Länge eines Etiketts 2, um das Etikettenband 6 mittels der dritten Förder¬ vorrichtung 33 in der für ein Etikett 2 erforderlichen Länge der Schneidvorrich- tung 34 vorzulegen.The second conveyor device 12 is followed by a buffer station 28, which forms a strip supply 30, in order to provide a sufficient supply of strip in the subsequent cutting station 32, which also operates intermittently. The cutting station contains a third conveying device 33 consisting of a pair of rollers 10a, 10b, which conveys the label strip to a cutting device 34 which, for example, operates on the ultrasonical principle. The cutting device 34 then separates individual labels 2 from the label tape 10, which are collected, for example, in a stacking device 36. An optically operating sensor 38, for example, serves to determine the length of a label 2 in order to present the label band 6 by means of the third conveying device 33 in the length of the cutting device 34 required for a label 2.
Die Anlage enthält eine Steuereinheit 40, die die einzelnen Komponenten der Anlage steuert. So ist die Steuereinheit 40 beispielsweise über die Steuerlei¬ tung 42 mit der ersten Fördervorrichtung 8 verbunden. Eine Steuerleitung 44 dient zur Steuerung der Vorheizung 18. Analog dient eine Steuerleitung 46 zur Steuerung der Heizung der Thermofixiervorrichtung 20. Eine Steuerleitung 48 verbindet die Steuereinheit 40 mit der Hubvorrichtung 26, um den Presstem¬ pel 24 im richtigen Takt und mit der gewünschten Presskraft am gefalteten Etikettenband 6 zur Anlage zu bringen. Eine weitere Steuerleitung 50 verbin- det die Steuereinheit 40 mit der zweiten Fördervorrichtung 12, um diese nicht nur im gleichen Takt wie die erste Fördervorrichtung 8 anzutreiben, sondern allenfalls eine Überförderung auszulösen, um Spannungsänderungen des Eti¬ kettenbandes 6 während der Behandlung auszugleichen. Die dritte Fördervor¬ richtung 33 ist über die Steuerleitung 52 mit der Steuereinheit 40 verbunden und enthält ihre Antriebsimpulse über den Sensor 38, der über die Steuerlei¬ tung 54 mit der Steuereinheit 40 gekoppelt ist. Sobald der Sensor 38, zum Beispiel anhand einer auf dem Etikettenband 6 angeordneten Marke feststellt, dass die Vorschublänge für ein Etikett 2 erreicht ist, wird einerseits die dritte Fördervorrichtung stillgesetzt und andererseits die Schneidvorrichtung 34 über die Steuerleitung 56 ausgelöst, um das entsprechende Etikett 2 vom Etiket¬ tenband 6 abzutrennen. The system includes a control unit 40 which controls the individual components of the system. For example, the control unit 40 is connected to the first conveying device 8 via the control line 42. A control line 44 serves to control the preheating 18. Analogously, a control line 46 is used to control the heating of the heat-setting device 20. A control line 48 connects the control unit 40 with the lifting device 26 to the Pressstel 24 in the right cycle and with the desired pressing force on to bring folded label tape 6 to the plant. Another control line 50 connects the control unit 40 to the second conveying device 12 in order not only to drive it in the same cycle as the first conveying device 8, but also to trigger an overfeeding in order to compensate for changes in the tension of the chain conveyor 6 during the treatment. The third conveyor device 33 is connected to the control unit 40 via the control line 52 and contains its drive pulses via the sensor 38, which is coupled to the control unit 40 via the control line 54. As soon as the sensor 38 detects, for example by means of a mark arranged on the label strip 6, that the feed length for a label 2 has been reached, the third becomes on the one hand Conveyor stopped and on the other hand, the cutting device 34 is triggered via the control line 56 to separate the corresponding label 2 from Etiket¬ tenband 6.
