Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Applikationsvorrichtung für elektronische Bauteile auf Faltschachtelzuschnitte und die dazu gehörige Fördereinrichtungen nach dem Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to an application device for electronic components on folding box blanks and the associated conveying devices according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Es ist bekannt zur Herstellung von RFID-Etiketten Chips oder Chips auf Hilfsträger (Straps) auf ein Druckprodukt zu montieren. Dabei wird die Applikation auf einer kontinuierlich oder in diskreten Schritten fortbewegten Bahn durch einen Chip-Applikator vorgenommen. Der Applikator befestigt die Chips oder Hilfsträger mit darauf befindlichen Chips (Straps) durch die bekannten Methoden des Kleben, Krimpens (durch mechanische Verankerung) oder durch Löten auf einer Antenne.It is known for the production of RFID tags to mount chips or chips on subcarriers (straps) on a printed product. In this case, the application is carried out on a continuous path or in discrete steps moving web by a chip applicator. The applicator secures the chips or sub-carriers with chips (straps) thereon by the known methods of gluing, crimping (by mechanical anchoring) or by soldering on an antenna.

Es ist auch bekannt, z.B. aus der Fertigung von den so genannten Smartcards Chips oder Baugruppen, die elektrische Funktionalitäten tragen, auf einzeln vorliegenden Druckprodukten zu befestigen.It is also known, e.g. From the production of the so-called smart card chips or assemblies that carry electrical functionalities to attach to individually printed products.

Es ist auch aus Patentveröffentlichungen, zum Beispiel aus der WO 2005/078648 , bekannt auf einen Druckbogen mit mehren Nutzen eine Vielzahl von Antennen zu drucken und den Druckbogen dann in einem dem Druckprozess nach gelagerten Verarbeitungsschritt, zum Beispiel einem Stanzvorgang, in einzelne Nutzen aufzutrennen und die auf den einzelnen Nutzen befindlichen Antennen dann in einer separaten Vorrichtung mit einem Chip oder einem Chip auf einem Hilfsträger (Strap) zu versehen.It is also from patent publications, for example from the WO 2005/078648 known to print a sheet with multiple benefits to print a plurality of antennas and then split the print sheet into individual use in a processing step stored after the printing process, for example, a punching operation and then the antennas located on the individual use in a separate device with a Chip or a chip on a subcarrier (strap) to provide.

Elektronische Bauteile im Sinne der Erfindung können einzelne Chips, Chips auf Hilfsträger (Straps), RFID (radio frequency identification)- Transponder auf flexiblen oder starren Trägern, Batterien, Sensoren und Sensorschaltungen oder andere elektronische Schaltungen auf flexiblen oder starren Trägern sein.Electronic components in the sense of the invention may be individual chips, chips on subcarriers, radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders on flexible or rigid carriers, batteries, sensors and sensor circuits or other electronic circuits on flexible or rigid carriers.

Ein Faltschachtelzuschnitt im Sinne der Erfindung ist ein Zuschnitt bestehend aus einem Kartonmaterial, aus einem Kunststoffmaterial oder einem Verbundmaterial aus verschiedenen Lagen, zum Beispiel einer Kunststofflage und einer Papier- / Kartonlage, das Rillungen oder Kerbungen zum späteren Falten der Faltschachtel aufweisen kann. Der Faltschachtelzuschnitt ist zum Beispiel in einer Stanzvorrichtung aus einem Druckbogen herausgetrennt worden, wobei in den nachfolgenden Weiterverarbeitungsschritten der Faltschachtelherstellung keine weitere Bearbeitung der Außenkontur erfolgt. Ein Faltschachtelzuschnitt weist zum Beispiel Einstecklaschen zum späteren Verschließen der Faltschachtel auf und gegebenenfalls Klebelaschen zum Verkleben der gefalteten Faltschachtel. In der Regel weist der Faltschachtelzuschnitt eine unregelmäßige Außenkontur auf. Ein Faltschachtelzuschnitt ist noch nicht zur Faltschachtel verklebt.A carton blank according to the invention is a blank consisting of a cardboard material, a plastic material or a composite material of different layers, for example a plastic layer and a paper / cardboard layer which may have creases or notches for later folding of the carton. For example, the folding carton blank has been cut out of a printed sheet in a punching device, with no further processing of the outer contour taking place in the subsequent further processing steps of folding carton production. For example, a folding box blank has tuck-in tabs for later closing the folded box and optionally adhesive tabs for gluing the folded folding box. As a rule, the folding box blank has an irregular outer contour. A folding box blank is not yet glued to the carton.

Die Innenseite des Faltschachtelzuschnittes ist die Seite des Zuschnitts, die nach dem Herstellen der Faltschachtel innen liegt und dem Füllgut zugewandt ist. Die Außenseite des Faltschachtelzuschnittes ist entsprechend die Seite, die nach dem Herstellen der Faltschachtel außen liegt. Zu mindestens die Außenseite des Faltschachtelzuschnittes trägt im Sinne der Erfindung einen dekorativen und / oder informativen Aufdruck.The inside of the Faltschachtelzuschnittes is the side of the blank, which lies after the manufacture of the carton inside and facing the contents. The outside of the carton blank is corresponding to the side that lies outside after making the carton. At least the outside of the folding box blank carries a decorative and / or informative imprint in the sense of the invention.

Die im Faltschachtelzuschnitt eingebrachten Rillungen und gegebenenfalls vorhandene Prägungen machen den exakten Transport eines Faltschachtelzuschnitts sehr schwierig, unter anderem deswegen wird eine Faltschachtelzuschnitt in einer Faltschachtelklebemaschine durch einen Bändertransport transportiert, bei dem in der Regel der Zuschnitt zwischen zwei Bänder geklemmt transportiert wird. Zusätzlich schwächen die Rillungen den Faltschachtelzuschnitt lokal. Die Rillungen verstärken die Lappigkeit des Materials. Auch die unregelmäßige Außenkontur macht den Transport und die exakte Ausrichtung in einem Applikator für elektrische Bauteile sehr schwierig. Sie bietet zum Beispiel immer die Gefahr, dass sich der Faltschachtelzuschnitt verkantet.The introduced in Faltschachtelzuschnitt creases and possibly existing imprints make the exact transport of a Faltschachtelzuschnitts very difficult, among other things, therefore, a Faltschachtelzuschnitt is transported in a Faltschachtelklebemaschine by a belt transport in which usually the blank is clamped transported between two bands. In addition, the creases weaken the carton blank locally. The creases increase the limpness of the material. The irregular outer contour makes the transport and the exact alignment in an applicator for electrical components very difficult. For example, it always presents the danger that the folding carton blank becomes jammed.

Wegen dieser Besonderheiten des Transports eines Faltschachtelzuschnittes erfordert der Transport eines solchen Faltschachtelzuschnittes besondere Maßnahmen für die exakte Ausrichtung und Transport der Faltschachtelzuschnitte.Because of these peculiarities of transporting a folding carton blank, the transport of such a folding carton blank requires special measures for the exact alignment and transport of the folding carton blanks.

Das bekannte Verfahren der Applikation elektronischer Bauteile auf ein Rollenmaterial stellt deutlich geringere Ansprüche. Auf der Rolle können elektronische Bauteile in einer einfachen Weise, zum Beispiel in diskreten Abständen, aufgebracht werden. Die Bahnführung durch den eigentlichen Applikator für die elektronischen Bauteile ist in bekannter Weise einfach zu realisieren.The known method of applying electronic components to a roll material makes significantly lower demands. On the roll, electronic components can be applied in a simple manner, for example at discrete intervals. The web guide through the actual applicator for the electronic components is easy to implement in a known manner.

Auch bei der Applikation auf einzeln vorliegende Smartcards ist die Anforderung deutlich geringer, da die Außenkontur keine größeren Einkerbungen aufweist und die Stabilität der Karte nicht durch zusätzliche Rillvorgänge beeinflusst wird. Aber auch bei der Smartcardproduktion wird in der Regel die Applikation auf eine Rolle erfolgen, aus der nachträglich die Kontur der Karte ausgestanzt wurde.Even when applied to individually present smart cards, the requirement is significantly lower, since the outer contour has no major indentations and the stability of the card is not affected by additional creasing operations. But also in the case of smartcard production, the application will usually be on a roll from which the contour of the card has subsequently been punched out.

Aus diesem Gesichtspunkt heraus, wegen der Lappigkeit des Materials, der vorhandenen mechanischen Bearbeitungen (z.B. Rillungen) und der unregelmäßigen Außenkontur ist an den Transport und Ausrichtung eines Faltschachtelzuschnitts höhere Ansprüche zu stellen, als bisher in Applikationsvorrichtungen für elektronische Bauteile gefordert waren.From this point of view, because of the laxity of the material, the existing mechanical operations (e.g., creases), and the irregular outer contour, the transportation and orientation of a carton blank is more demanding than heretofore required in electronic component application devices.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher eine Fördervorrichtung für einen Applikator für elektronische Bauteile zu schaffen, die einem Applikator Faltschachtelzuschnitte mit einer aufgedruckten Antennenstruktur zuführt und zur exakten Bestückung mit elektronischen Bauteilen dient.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a conveying device for an applicator for electronic components, which feeds an applicator folding box blanks with a printed antenna structure and is used for the exact assembly of electronic components .

Die Lösung der Aufgabe gestaltet sich mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung werden nach den Unteransprüchen definiert.The solution of the problem is formed by the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are defined in the subclaims.

Im Sinne der Erfindung werden die Begriffe Applikationsvorrichtung und Applikator folgendermaßen definiert: Die Applikationsvorrichtung umfasst einen Anleger für Faltschachtelzuschnitte, eine Fördereinrichtung, den Applikator und gegebenenfalls eine Ablage oder einen Ausleger für die Faltschachtelzuschnitte. Der Applikator im Sinne der Erfindung ist die Vorrichtung, die für die Zuführung, gegebenenfalls Vereinzelung und für die Fixierung der elektronischen Bauteile sorgt.For the purposes of the invention, the terms application device and applicator are defined as follows: The application device comprises a feeder for folding box blanks, a conveying device, the applicator and optionally a shelf or a jib for the carton blanks. The applicator in the context of the invention is the device that provides for the supply, optionally separation and for the fixation of the electronic components.

Die Fördereinrichtung im Sinne der Erfindung weist mindestens einen Anleger zur Zuführung der einzelnen Faltschachtelzuschnitte auf eine Fördereinrichtung auf, die den Faltschachtelzuschnitt mindestens einem Applikator, und von dort nach dem erfolgten Applikationsvorgang wieder in einer Ablage oder Auslage für die Faltschachtelzuschnitte oder einer nach gelagerten Weiterverarbeitungsvorrichtung zuführt.The conveyor according to the invention comprises at least one feeder for feeding the individual Faltschachtelzuschnitte on a conveyor, which feeds the Faltschachtelzuschnitt at least one applicator, and from there after the successful application process again in a tray or display for the Faltschachtelzuschnitte or a downstream processing device.

Der Anleger für die erfindungsgemäße Applikationsvorrichtung kann ein, zum Beispiel aus den Faltschachtelklebemaschinen bekannter Anleger sein, bei der Faltschachtelzuschnitte sich in einem Schacht befinden und der Faltschachtelzuschnitt von unten aus dem Schacht entnommen wird, während der Schacht von oben mit Faltschachtelzuschnitten befüllt werden kann.The feeder for the application device according to the invention may be, for example, from the Faltschachtelklebemaschinen known investors, in the Faltschachtelzuschnitte are in a shaft and the Faltschachtelzuschnitt is taken from below from the shaft, while the shaft can be filled from above with Faltschachtelzuschnitten.

Der Anleger für die erfindungsgemäßen für die erfindungsgemäße Applikationsvorrichtung kann auch ein Anleger sein, bei dem der Faltschachtelzuschnitt von einem Stapel, der sich in dem Anleger befindet, von oben abgenommen wird. Die Abnahme des obersten Faltschachtelzuschnitts kann in bekannter Weise mittels bewegter Saugköpfe geschehen, die den Faltschachtelzuschnitt in Richtung der Fördereinrichtung transportieren, die den Faltschachtelzuschnitt dann dem Applikator zuführt.The feeder for the inventive application device according to the invention may also be a feeder in which the folding box blank is removed from above from a stack located in the feeder. The decrease of the uppermost carton blank can be done in a known manner by means of moving suction heads, which transport the folding carton blank in the direction of the conveyor, which then feeds the folding carton blank to the applicator.

Die Fördereinrichtung, die den Zuschnitt von dem Anleger dem Applikator zuführt und von dort wieder abführt kann ein einziges oder mehrere seitlichparallel zueinander angeordnete umlaufende Bänder sein. Die Fördereinrichtung kann aber auch in eine Vielzahl von einzelnen Abschnitten eingeteilt sein, die zum Beispiel von einzelnen umlaufenden Bändern gebildet werden. Diese Bänder können alle mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit oder mit unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten laufen, um zum Beispiel ein Abbremsen oder Beschleunigen des Faltschachtelzuschnittes zu erlauben.The conveying device, which feeds the blank from the feeder to the applicator and discharges it from there, can be a single or a plurality of peripheral bands arranged laterally parallel to one another. However, the conveyor can also be divided into a plurality of individual sections, which are formed for example by individual circulating belts. These belts can all run at the same speed or at different speeds, for example to slow or accelerate the carton blank to allow.

Das umlaufende Band oder die umlaufenden Bänder der Fördereinrichtung können bzw. können als Saugband ausgeführt sein, indem durch Öffnungen des Bandes der Faltschachtelzuschnitt durch Saugluft auf dem Band fixiert wird.The circulating belt or the circulating belts of the conveyor can be designed as a suction belt, in that the folded-carton blank is fixed on the belt by suction air through openings in the belt.

Das umlaufende Band oder die umlaufenden Bänder der Bänder können ein Band oder Bänder mit einem hohen Reibwiderstand sein, die ein verrutschen des Faltschachtelzuschnittes während des Transportes vermeiden. Dies kann zum Beispiel durch ein gummiertes Band oder gummierte Bänder gewährleistet werden.The circulating band or bands of the bands may be a band or bands with a high frictional resistance, which prevent slippage of the carton blank during transport. This can be ensured for example by a rubberized band or rubberized bands.

Der Transport des Faltschachtelzuschnittes in der Applikationsvorrichtung kann auch erfolgen, in dem der Faltschachtelzuschnitt zwischen einem oder mehreren oberhalb des Faltschachtelzuschnittes verlaufenden Riemenband oder Riemenbänder und einem unterhalb des Faltschachtelzuschnitts verlaufenden Riemenband oder Riemenbänder eingeklemmt erfolgt. Die Riemenbänder können als ein einziges umlaufendes Band den Transport durch die Applikationsvorrichtung ermöglichen oder in eine Vielzahl von Einzelstrecken aufgeteilt ist. Idealerweise sind die einzelnen Teilstrecken seitlich zueinander versetzt angeordnet und weisen in Transportrichtung des Faltschachtelzuschnittes einen Überlappungsbereich auf.The transport of the folding carton blank in the application device can also take place in which the folding carton blank is clamped between one or more belt belts or belt belts running above the folding carton blank and a belt belt or belt belts extending below the folding carton blank. The belt straps, as a single circulating belt, may facilitate transport through the application device or be divided into a plurality of individual sections. Ideally, the individual sections are arranged laterally offset from one another and have an overlapping region in the transport direction of the folding box blank.

Der Faltschachtelzuschnitt kann auch durch einen Greifer in der erfindungsgemäßen Applikationsvorrichtung transportiert werden. Die Greifer können in dem umlaufenden Band eingelassen oder an Greiferwägen, die seitlich an Ketten oder Bändern aufgehängt sind, durch die Maschine transportiert werden.The folding box blank can also be transported by a gripper in the application device according to the invention. The grippers can be embedded in the revolving belt or transported through the machine on gripper carriages which are suspended laterally on chains or belts.

Der Faltschachtelzuschnitt kann mit Saugern, die den Zuschnitt von unten und / oder von oben erfassen erfolgen. Die Sauger sind dann auf einen oder mehreren Fördereinrichtungen befestigt, die den Sauger mit dem angesaugten Faltschachtelzuschnitt durch die Maschine transportieren.The carton blank can be made with suckers that capture the cut from below and / or from above. The nipples are then mounted on one or more conveyors, which transport the nipple with the sucked Faltschachtelzuschnitt through the machine.

Der Transport mit den beschriebenen Fördereinrichtungen kann kontinuierlich, taktenden oder mit wechselnden Geschwindigkeiten erfolgen. Liegen mehrere Teilabschnitte der Fördereinrichtung, zum Beispiel mehrere in Fördereinrichtung hintereinander angeordnete Bänder, vor, so kann die Fördergeschwindigkeit der einzelnen Teilabschnitte voneinander abweichen. Dies ermöglicht ein Abbremsen des Faltschachtelzuschnitts und ein Beschleunigen des Faltschachtelabschnittes. So macht es durchaus Sinn im Bereich des Applikators den Transport zu verlangsamen, um eine gute Anhaftung des elektronischen Bauteils auf dem Faltschachtelzuschnitt zu gewährleisten. In diesem Fall muss der Zuschnitt vor und / oder nach dem Applikator beschleunigt werden, um eine Kollision der einzelnen Faltschachtelabschnitte zu vermeiden.The transport with the described conveyors can be continuous, clocking or changing speeds. If there are several sections of the conveyor, for example a plurality of belts arranged one after the other in the conveyor, the conveying speed of the individual sections may differ from one another. This allows a braking of the folding box blank and an acceleration of the folding box section. So it makes sense to slow down the transport in the area of the applicator in order to ensure a good adhesion of the electronic component to the folding carton blank. In this case, the blank must be accelerated before and / or after the applicator in order to avoid a collision of the individual folding box sections.

Erfindungsgemäß weist die Applikationsvorrichtung auch Einrichtungen zur relativen Positionierung des Faltschachtelzuschnittes und des Applikators zueinander auf.According to the invention, the application device also has means for the relative positioning of the folding carton blank and the applicator to one another.

In einer ersten Ausführung wird der Faltschachtelzuschnitt mit einer pneumatischen Seitenziehmarke gegen einen Anschlag bewegt und dort seitlich ausgerichtet. Alternativ kann der Faltschachtelzuschnitt auch von einem Saugbalken oder einer Saugplatte, der durchgehend oder in Teilabschnitten Sauglöcher oder eine Vielzahl von Saugern aufweist, seitlich gegen einen Anschlag bewegt werden. Dabei kann der Saugbalken in die Fördereinrichtung eingelassen sein, zum Beispiel in dem Bereich zwischen zwei in Förderrichtung hintereinander angeordneten Teilbändern oder den Faltschachtelabschnitt von oben erfassen, indem der Saugbalken oder die Saugplatte oberhalb des Förderbandes angeordnet ist.
Der Faltschachtelabschnitt kann der Vorrichtung zur seitlichen Ausrichtung als Einzelzuschnitt oder in einem schuppenförmigen Faltschachtelzuschnittstrom zugeführt werden. Dabei kann die Schuppe des Faltschachtelzuschnittstroms im Anleger oder auf der Fördereinrichtung gebildet werden. Wird die Schuppe auf der Fördereinrichtung gebildet, so wird die Hinterkante des voraus laufenden Faltschachtelabschnittes durch eine Saugeinrichtung angehoben der der nachfolgende Faltschachtelabschnitt unter die Hinterkante des vorlaufenden Faltschachtelabschnittes gezogen.In a first embodiment of the carton blank is moved with a pneumatic side-pull against a stop and aligned there laterally. Alternatively, the folding box blank can also be moved laterally against a stop by a suction bar or a suction plate, which has suction holes or a multiplicity of suckers throughout or in partial sections. In this case, the suction bar can be embedded in the conveyor, for example in the area between two successively arranged in the conveying direction subbands or the folding box section from above by the suction bar or the suction plate is arranged above the conveyor belt.
The folding box section can be supplied to the device for lateral alignment as a single blank or in a flaky folding carton blank stream. In this case, the scale of the folding carton blank stream can be formed in the feeder or on the conveyor. If the scale is formed on the conveyor, the trailing edge of the advancing folding box section is raised by a suction device, the subsequent folding box section under the trailing edge of the leading folding box section drawn.

Die seitliche Ausrichtung kann auch erfolgen, indem die seitliche Lage des Faltschachtelzuschnittes an einem oder an mehreren Punkten erfasst wird, und ein Teilabschnitt der Fördereinrichtung gemäß des ermittelten Versatzes seitlich bewegt wird. Dies kann zum Beispiel geschehen, in dem sich der Faltschachtelzuschnitt auf einem Tisch befindet, der Teil der Fördereinrichtung ist, wobei der Tisch mit Motoren seitlich bewegt wird.The lateral alignment can also be done by detecting the lateral position of the carton blank at one or more points, and laterally moving a subsection of the conveyor according to the determined offset. This can be done, for example, where the carton blank is on a table that is part of the conveyor, the table being moved laterally with motors.

Der Faltschachtelzuschnitt kann auch mit einem Schieber gegen einen gegenüberliegen Anschlag geschoben werden.The Faltschachtelzuschnitt can also be pushed with a slider against an opposite stop.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, wird der Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1 durch ein oder mehrere schräg laufende Saugbänder bzw. Fördervorrichtungen 3 während des Transportes in Förderrichtung A gegen ein Ausrichtlineal 5 gezogen und durch dieses Ausrichtlineal ausgerichtet. Das Ausrichtlineal 5 lässt sich seitlich (C) und schräg (C) verstellen. Nach dem seitlichen Ausrichtvorgang wird der Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1 an ein weiteres Förderbandsystem 6 übergeben, das den ausgerichteten Faltschachtelzuschnitt 5 weitertransportiert. Das Förderbandsystem 6 lässt sich zu mindestens teilweise seitlich verstellen (B), so dass das Förderbandsystem oder das Förderband 6 sich auf die Größe des Faltschachtelzuschnitts 1 einstellen lässt.In a preferred embodiment, as in Fig. 1 represented, the folding carton blank 1 is pulled by one or more obliquely running suction belts or conveyor devices 3 during transport in the conveying direction A against an alignment rule 5 and aligned by this alignment ruler. The alignment ruler 5 can be adjusted laterally (C) and diagonally (C). After the side Alignment process is the folding box blank 1 passed to another conveyor belt system 6, which transports the aligned folding box 5 cut. The conveyor belt system 6 can be at least partially adjusted laterally (B), so that the conveyor belt system or the conveyor belt 6 can be adjusted to the size of the folding box blank 1.

In einer weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Ausprägung wird der Faltschachtelzuschnitt seitlich nicht ausgerichtet, sondern die Lage der Seitenkante mit einem geeigneten Sensorik, zum Beispiel einem Kamerasystem erfasst. Der erfasste Abweichungswert wird dann direkt oder über einen Zwischenspeicher an den Applikator übermittelt. Der Applikator wird dann auf einer Schiene oder anders mittels eines Motor oder eines Aktors seitlich verfahren, so dass die Applikation des elektrischen Bauteils wieder korrekt auf die vorgegebene oder durch ein Messverfahren ermittelte Position erfolgt. Die Messung der seitlichen Lage kann an der Kante des Faltschachtelzuschnitts oder an definierten Messpunkten oder Messmarken auf dem Faltschachtelzuschnitt erfolgen.In a further embodiment according to the invention, the folding carton blank is not aligned laterally, but the position of the side edge is detected with a suitable sensor system, for example a camera system. The detected deviation value is then transmitted directly or via a buffer to the applicator. The applicator is then moved laterally on a rail or otherwise by means of a motor or an actuator, so that the application of the electrical component is again correct to the predetermined or determined by a measuring method position. The lateral position can be measured at the edge of the folding box blank or at defined measuring points or measuring marks on the folding carton blank.

Die Ausrichtung des Faltschachtelzuschnitts in Förderrichtung kann erfolgen, indem von oben Haken einschwenken gegen die der geförderte Faltschachtelzuschnitt anstößt und sich ausrichtet. Nach der Ausrichtung werden die Haken wieder weggeschwenkt und der ausgerichtete Bogen weitergefördert. Haken oder Anschläge können auch von unten zwischen und seitlich von zwei oder mehr parallel laufenden Förderbändern oder zwischen zwei Teilstrecken der Förderstrecke von unten einschwenken. Diese können ebenso zur Ausrichtung des Faltschachtelzuschnitts in Förderichtung dienen.The alignment of the folding carton blank in the conveying direction can take place by pivoting hooks from above against which the conveyed folding carton blank abuts and aligns itself. After alignment, the hooks are swung away again and conveyed the aligned sheet. Hooks or stops can also swing in from below between and at the sides of two or more parallel conveyor belts or between two partial sections of the conveyor line from below. These can also serve to align the carton blank in the direction of conveyance.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform, wie in Fig. 2 und 4 bzw. 5 dargestellt, erfolgt die Ausrichtung in Förderrichtung, indem über einen Teilausschnitt der Förderlänge der Förderbänder 10 bzw. des Förderbands 10, zwei Ausrichtbänder 11 parallel geführt werden, die Nocken bzw. Anschläge für die Vorderkantenausrichtung 12 aufweisen. Die Ausrichtbänder 11 laufen gegenüber den Förderbänder 10 bzw. gegenüber dem Förderband 10 mit einer leicht reduzierten Geschwindigkeit D<A, so dass der Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1 langsam gegen die Nocken / die Vorderkantenausrichtung 12 der Ausrichtbänder 11 geführt wird und an diesen Nocken / Vorderkantenausrichtung 12 ausrichtet. Danach werden die Nocken / Vorderkantenausrichtung 12 aus der Förderebene abgesenkt, indem die Ausrichtbänder 11 um die Umlenkrolle 13b umlaufend wieder zurückgeführt werden.
Die Ausrichtbänder 11 können gegeneinander so verstellt werden, so dass die Nocken / Vorderkantenausrichtung 12 der ungleichmäßigen Vorderkantenkontur des Faltschachtelzuschnitts 1 angepasst werden können. Dies kann geschehen, indem ein oder beide Ausrichtbänder 11 gelöst und auf den Umlenkrollen 13a, 13b zueinander verschoben werden. Alternativ kann, wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt, die Ausrichtbänder 11 zueinander verschoben werden, indem die Umlenkrollen 13a, 13b eines oder beider Ausrichtbänder 11 in Verstellrichtung F zueinander verschoben werden. Es ist auch möglich den Versatz zwischen den Ausrichtbändern 11 herbeizuführen, indem für beide Bänder unterschiedliche Antrieb vorliegen und ein Band um den Versatzbetrag früher oder später anfängt zu drehen.In a preferred embodiment, as in Fig. 2 and 4 5, the alignment takes place in the conveying direction, in that over a partial section of the conveying length of the conveyor belts 10 or of the conveyor belt 10, two alignment belts 11 are guided in parallel, which have cams or stops for the leading edge alignment 12. The alignment belts 11 run with respect to the conveyor belts 10 and with respect to the conveyor belt 10 at a slightly reduced speed D <A, so that the carton blank 1 is slowly guided against the cams / leading edge alignment 12 of the alignment belts 11 and aligns with this cam / leading edge alignment 12. Thereafter, the cam / leading edge alignment 12 are lowered from the conveying plane by circulating the alignment belts 11 around the deflection roller 13b.
The alignment straps 11 can be adjusted against each other so that the cam / leading edge alignment 12 of the uneven leading edge contour of the carton blank 1 can be adjusted. This can be done by one or both Ausrichtbänder 11 solved and moved to the pulleys 13a, 13b to each other. Alternatively, as in Fig. 5 shown, the alignment straps 11 are shifted from each other by the pulleys 13a, 13b of one or both alignment bands 11 are moved in the adjustment direction F to each other. It is also possible to effect the offset between the alignment belts 11 by having different drive for both belts and starting to turn a belt by the offset amount sooner or later.

Alternativ können die Nocken / Ausrichtvorrichtung 12 den Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, auch schiebend ausrichten. Dazu müssen die Ausrichtbänder 11 schneller (E) als Förderbänder oder Förderband 10 laufen, so dass die Nocken / Ausrichtvorrichtung 12 langsam an die Hinterkante des Faltschachtelzuschnitts 1 herangeführt werden und diesen dann ausrichten.
Zwischen den beiden Ausrichtrollen 13b kann eine mechanische Koppelung 15 oder eine elektronische Koppelung 15, z.B. durch die elektronische Synchronisation zweier elektrischer Antriebe geschehen. Dadurch wird der Gleichlauf der Bänder weitgehend gewährleistet. Eine unterschiedliche Dehnung der Bänder oder eine Versetzen der Bänder kann auch durch eine permanente Abfrage von Messmarken, die sich auf den Ausrichtbändern bzw. Ausrichtband 11 durch eine geeignete Sensoreinrichtung geschehen. Alternativ kann das Ausrichtband bzw. können die Ausrichtbänder 11 Öffnungen aufweisen, in die Passstifte eintauchen, die sich auf den Umlenkrollen 13a, 13b befinden.
Eine alternative Form der Vorderkantenausrichtung ist in Fig. 8 bis 10 dargestellt. Dabei taucht ein rotierender Anschlag 23, der zum Beispiel auf einer rotierenden Welle montiert ist, in die Förderebene ein, in der der Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1 auf einem Förderband bzw. auf Förderbändern 10 transportiert wird ein und der Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1 wird dann, wie in Fig. 11 dargestellt, an der Vorderkante an dem rotierenden Anschlag 23 ausgerichtet. Die Geschwindigkeit des rotierenden Anschlags L wird dabei so gewählt, dass die Vorderkante des Faltschachtelzuschnitts 1 langsam an den rotierenden Anschlag 23 herangeführt wird und sich an diesem ausrichtet. Es ist auch möglich, dass der Faltschachtelzuschnitt nach diesem Prinzip schiebend ausgerichtet wird. Dazu muss der rotierende Anschlag 23 den gerade vorbeitransportierten Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1 schieben (nicht dargestellt). Die rotierenden Anschläge 23 können zueinander verschoben werden (N), so dass die Anschläge an die ungleichmäßige Kontur des Faltschachtelzuschnitts angepasst werden können.Alternatively, the cam / alignment device 12 may fold the carton blank 1 as shown in FIG Fig. 3 shown, also sliding. For this purpose, the alignment belts 11 must run faster (E) than conveyor belts or conveyor belt 10, so that the cams / alignment device 12 are brought slowly to the trailing edge of the folding box blank 1 and then align it.
A mechanical coupling 15 or an electronic coupling 15, for example by the electronic synchronization of two electrical drives, can take place between the two alignment rollers 13b. As a result, the synchronization of the bands is largely guaranteed. A different stretching of the bands or a displacement of the bands can also be done by a permanent query of measurement marks on the alignment bands or alignment tape 11 by a suitable sensor device. Alternatively, the alignment tape or the alignment straps 11 may have openings into which dowel pins which are located on the deflection rollers 13a, 13b.
An alternative form of leading edge alignment is in FIG Fig. 8 to 10 shown. In this case, a rotating stop 23, which, for example, on a rotating immersed A shaft is mounted, in the conveying plane, in which the folding box blank 1 is transported on a conveyor belt or on conveyor belts 10 a and the folding box blank 1 is then, as in Fig. 11 shown aligned at the leading edge to the rotating stop 23. The speed of the rotating stop L is chosen so that the front edge of the folding box 1 is slowly brought to the rotating stop 23 and aligns with this. It is also possible that the Faltschachtelzuschnitt is aligned according to this principle sliding. For this purpose, the rotating stop 23 has to push the folding carton blank 1 that has just been transported past (not shown). The rotating stops 23 can be displaced relative to each other (N), so that the stops can be adapted to the non-uniform contour of the folding box blank.

Die gewählte Form der Vorderkantenausrichtung (Fig. 2) und der Hinterkantenausrichtung (Fig. 3) kann mit einer umlaufenden seitlichen Ausrichtung kombiniert werden. Dieses Ausrichtband zur Seitenausrichtung 16 kann schräg zur Förderrichtung A herangeführt werden und den Bogen ausrichten. Das Ausrichtband zur seitlichen Ausrichtung 16 kann dabei Nocken 18, runde Ausrichtelemente 20 oder einen durchgehenden Falz aufweisen. Auch kann das Band über Führungselemente so umgelenkt werden, dass es mit seiner Fläche gegen die Kante des Faltschachtelzuschnitts 1 wirkt (nicht dargestellt).
In einer weiteren Variante, wie in Fig. 6 und 7 dargestellt, wird das Ausrichtband 17 parallel zur Förderichtung A geführt. Das Ausrichtband weist dabei ebenfalls Nocken 19 oder andere geeignete Anschlagelemente auf oder das Aufrichteband wird durch Umlenkvorrichtungen so umgelenkt, dass es eine senkrechte Anschlagsfläche bildet. Der Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1 wird dabei von einer Saugwalze oder Saugband 21, das vorzugsweise schräg in Förderichtung angeordnet ist, oder einer Ziehschiene 22 gegen das Ausrichtband 17 geführt und an diesem oder an darauf befindlichen Ausrichtelemente, z.B. Nocken 19, seitlich ausgerichtet. Alternativ kann die seitliche Ausrichtung auch an einem Ausrichtlineal 5 erfolgen, wobei durch die Saugrolle oder das Saugband 21 oder durch die Ziehschiene 22 der Faltschachtelzuschnitt 1 gegen das Ausrichtlineal 5 gezogen wird (nicht dargestelit).The chosen shape of the leading edge alignment ( Fig. 2 ) and the trailing edge alignment ( Fig. 3 ) can be combined with a circumferential lateral alignment. This alignment tape for page orientation 16 can be brought obliquely to the conveying direction A and align the sheet. The alignment tape for lateral alignment 16 may have cams 18, round alignment elements 20 or a continuous fold. Also, the band can be deflected via guide elements so that it acts with its surface against the edge of the folding box blank 1 (not shown).
In another variant, as in 6 and 7 shown, the alignment belt 17 is guided parallel to the direction of conveyance A. The alignment tape also has cams 19 or other suitable stop elements or the erecting belt is deflected by deflection devices so that it forms a vertical stop surface. The folding carton blank 1 is thereby guided by a suction roll or suction belt 21, which is preferably arranged obliquely in the conveying direction, or a drawing rail 22 against the alignment tape 17 and laterally aligned on this or on alignment thereon, eg cams 19. Alternatively, the lateral alignment can also take place on an alignment ruler 5, wherein the suction roll or the suction belt 21 or by the drawing rail 22nd the folding box blank 1 is pulled against the alignment ruler 5 (not shown).

In einer weiteren Ausführung wird der Faltschachtelzuschnitt in Förderrichtung nicht ausgerichtet, sondern vor dem Applikator die Lage des Faltschachtelzuschnitts mit einer geeigneten Sensorik, zum Beispiel einer Kamera, erfasst und daraus ein Triggersignal für den Applikator abgeleitet. Dabei können die Kante oder die Kanten des Faltschachtelzuschnitts oder Messpunkte oder Messmarken auf dem Faltschachtelzuschnitt dienen.In a further embodiment, the folding carton blank is not aligned in the conveying direction, but the position of the folding carton blank is detected in front of the applicator with a suitable sensor system, for example a camera, and a trigger signal for the applicator is derived therefrom. The edge or the edges of the folding carton blank or measuring points or measuring marks on the folding carton blank can serve this purpose.

Der Applikator appliziert bevorzugt zur Erzeugung eines RFID Transponders einen Chip oder einen Chip auf einem Hilfsträger (Strap) auf eine auf dem Faltschachtelzuschnitt befindliche Antennenstruktur. Diese Antennenstruktur kann auf dem Ganzbogen vor dem Stanzen in Einzelnutzen auf jeden einzelnen Nutzen in der Druckmaschine aufgedruckt werden. Die Antenne kann aber auch vor dem Applikator, zum Beispiel durch eine Flexo-, Tiefdruck- oder Tintenstrahlvorrichtung während des Durchlaufs durch die Applikatorvorrichtung aufgedruckt werden. Die Antenne kann auch von einer Rolle, zum Beispiel als geätzte oder gedruckte Antenne aufgespendet und aufgeklebt werden. In diesem Fall ist eine seitliche Ausrichtung oder eine Ausrichtung in Förderrichtung nicht zwingend notwendig, sondern die einzige Anforderung ist den Faltschachtelzuschnitt auf der Fördereinrichtung so zu fixieren, dass dieser während des Transportes nicht verrutscht.To produce an RFID transponder, the applicator preferably applies a chip or a chip on an auxiliary carrier (strap) to an antenna structure located on the folding box blank. This antenna structure can be printed on the whole sheet before punching in single use on each individual use in the printing press. However, the antenna may also be printed in front of the applicator, for example by a flexographic, gravure or ink jet device while passing through the applicator device. The antenna can also be suspended from a roll, for example as an etched or printed antenna and glued. In this case, a lateral alignment or alignment in the conveying direction is not absolutely necessary, but the only requirement is to fix the folding box blank on the conveyor so that it does not slip during transport.

Neben den erwähnten Druckeinrichtungen kann die Applikationseinrichtung auch Spender für Etiketten, Antennen, Hologramme oder andere Sicherheitselemente, wie zum Beispiel Siegel, aufweisen.In addition to the printing devices mentioned, the application device can also have dispensers for labels, antennas, holograms or other security elements, such as seals.
