Die in den Figuren allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Etikettiermaschine dient zum Ausstatten, d.h. zum Etikettieren von Flaschen 2, die über einen Transporteur 3 einem Behältereinlauf 4 bzw. einem dortigen Einlauf- oder Übergabestern 4.1 aufrecht stehend, d. h. mit ihrer Flaschenachse in vertikaler Richtung orientiert, zugeführt werden. Nach dem Etikettieren werden die Flaschen 2 an einem Behälterauslauf 5 bzw. mit einem dortigen Auslauf- oder Übergabestern 5.1 wieder an einen Transporteur 3 übergeben und auf diesem aufrecht stehend einer weiteren Verwendung zugeführt.The labeling machine indicated generally at 1 in the figures is for equipping, i. for
Mehr im Detail beschrieben ist die Etikettiermaschine 1 eine solche umlaufender Bauart, d.h. sie besitzt u. a. an einem mit mehreren Füßen 6 auf dem Untergrund bzw. Boden 7 aufstehenden Maschinengestell 8 einen um eine vertikale Maschinenachse in Richtung des Pfeils B umlaufend angetriebenen Rotor 9, an dessen Umfang in der dem Fachmann bekannten Weise eine Vielzahl von Standflächen gebildet sind, auf die die Flaschen 2 jeweils am Behältereinlauf 4 einzeln übergeben und auf dem die Flaschen 2 während des Etikettiervorgangs durch einen über jeder Standfläche vorgesehenen Stempel 10 durch Einspannen zwischen diesem Stempel und der Stanfläche gehalten sind.Described in more detail, the labeling machine 1 is of such a circulating design, i. she owns u. a. on a with
An der Peripherie des Rotors 9 sind vorzugsweise mehrere Etikettierstationen oder -ag gregate 11 vorgesehen, von denen in den Figuren der einfacheren Darstellung wegen nur eines gezeigt ist. Die Etikettieraggregate 11, die sämtliche für das Aufbringen von Etiketten 12 auf die Flaschen 2 notwendigen Funktionselemente aufweisen, sind mit dem Rotor 9 nicht umlaufend an der Peripherie des Maschinengestells 8 vorgesehen, und zwar auswechselbar, so dass die Etikettiermaschine 1 lediglich durch Austauschen der Etikettieraggregate 11 problemlos und ohne großen Zeitaufwand von einer Flaschen- oder Behälterart bzw. -größe auf eine andere Flaschen- oder Behälterart bzw. -größe und/oder von einer Etiketten- oder Ausstattungsart auf eine andere Etiketten- oder Ausstattungsart usw. umgestellt werden kann.At the periphery of the
Für das in Bezug auf den Rotor 9 und die dortigen Behälterstandflächen exakt ausgerichtete Anordnen der Etikettieraggregate 11 bzw. deren Aggregatachse EA sind an der Unterseite eines von dem Maschinengestell 8 gebildeten Maschinentisches 13 bzw. an dessen Peripherie maschinenseitige Zentrier- und Kupplungseinheiten 14 vorgesehen. Jede Einheit besteht aus einem an der Unterseite des Maschinentisches 13 befestigten Träger- oder Lagerelement 15, welches in Umfangsrichtung des Maschinentisches 13 gegeneinander versetzt zwei Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 16 aufweist. Auf jedes dieser maschinenseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 16 ist nach dem Andocken des Etikettieraggregates ein aggregatseitiges Zentrier- und Kupplungselement 17 aufgesetzt. Diese aggregatseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 17 sind jeweils an einem Ende eines Trägers 18 vorgesehen, der ebenso wie die Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 17 Bestandteil einer aggregatseitigen Zentrier- und Andockeinheit 19 ist. Letztere ist in geeigneter Weise an einer den Maschinengestell 8 benachbarten Stirnseite 11.1 des Etikettieraggregates über die Stirnseite wegstehend vorgesehen.For the exactly aligned with respect to the
Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die beiden maschinenseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 16 kugelkopfförmig ausgebildet. Die aggregatseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 17 bilden jeweils eine an die Kugelkopfform angepasste Ausnehmung 17.1, in der bei angedocktem Etikettieraggregat 11 jeweils der Kugelkopf eines Zentrier- und Kupplungselementes 16 aufgenommen ist, und zwar derart, dass sich das Etikettieraggregat 11 im Bereich seiner Stirnseite 11.1 über die beiden, jeweils auf einem Zentrier- und Kupplungselement 16 aufliegenden Zentrier- und Kupplungselementen 17 am Maschinenrahmen 8 bzw. an der dortigen Zentrier- und Andockeinheit 14 abstützt. Durch die beiden maschinenseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 16 und durch die beiden aggregatseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 17 mit ihren an die Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 16 angepassten Ausnehmungen 17.1 weist das Etikettieraggregat 11 nach dem Andocken an dem Maschinengestell 8, die für das Etikettieren notwendige exakte Ausrichtung auf. Dabei sind insbesondere die Ausrichtung der Mittelachse EA des Etikettieraggregats 11, die erforderliche Höhenlage und die Drehlage des Etikettieraggregats um eine zur Mittelachse EA des Etikettieraggregats 11 parallele Achse in Bezug auf das Maschinengestell 8 festgelegt.In the illustrated embodiment, the two machine-side centering and
Im Bereich der dem Maschinengestell 8 entfernt liegenden Seite 11.2 stützt sich das Etikettieraggregat 11 mit mindestens einem Fuß 20 auf den Boden 7 ab. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist ein derartiger Fuß vorgesehen. Wie mit dem Doppelpfeil C angedeutet, sind die Füße 20 höhenverstellbar. Hierdurch ist eine Einstellung der Neigung des Etikettieraggregates 11 möglich, und zwar durch Schwenken dieses Aggregates um das von den maschinenseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselementen 16 und den aggregatseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselementen 17 gebildete Schwenklager, welches einen für die Neigungseinstellung ausreichenden Schwenkwinkel ermöglicht. Die maschinenseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 16 sind hierfür, wie ausgeführt, kugelkopfartig ausgebildet. Auch andere Formen sind denkbar, beispielsweise die Ausbildung der maschinenseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 16 als Zapfen, die an ihrem oberen, freien Ende, auf welches die aggregatseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 17 von oben her aufsetzbar sind, kugelkalottenartig oder aber zumindest um eine senkrecht zur Achse EA des Aggregats orientierte Raum- oder Krümmungsachse gewölbt sind.In the area of the
Um das Andocken des jeweiligen Etikettieraggregates 11 zu erleichtern, ist das Lagerelement 15 beispielsweise mit zwei Führungsflächen 15.1 ausgebildet, von denen jede einem maschinenseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselement 16 benachbart ist und die ebenfalls in Umfangrichtung des Rotors 9 versetzt angeordnet sind. Jede Führungsfläche 15.1 ist von einem vertikalen Wandabschnitt gebildet. Die Führungsflächen 15.1 sind so orientiert, dass ihre Ebenen einen spitzen Winkel, d.h. einen Winkel deutlich kleiner 45° miteinander einschließen, der sich zur Mitte des Maschinengestells 8 hin öffnet. Die beiden maschinenseitigen Zentrier- und Kupplungselemente 16 sind an einer Platine 15.2 des Lagerelementes 15 vorgesehen, die über die Führungsflächen 15.1 vorsteht. Der Träger 18 der aggregatseitigen Zentrier- und Andockeinheit 19 ist maulartig ausgebildet, sodass er bei angedocktem Etikettieraggregat 11 das Lagerelement 15 an den Führungsflächen 15.1 gabelförmig übergreift. Beim Andocken ist somit der gabelförmige Träger 18 am Lagerelement 15 bzw. an den Führungsflächen 15.1 geführt, so dass das Andocken des Etikettieraggregates 11 wesentlich erleichtert wird.In order to facilitate the docking of the
Jedes Etikettieraggregat 11 besitzt einen eigenen Antrieb für seine Funktionseinheiten. Dieser Antrieb ist beispielsweise elektrisch mit dem Antrieb des Rotors 9 synchronisiert. Weiterhin sind die Funktionselemente des Etikettieraggregates 11 zumindest teilweise einstellbar an einem Rahmen dieses Aggregates vorgesehen.Each
