Definitions

  • Device for dispensing labels in particular self-adhesive
  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a first feed unit is provided in known devices, which is driven by a drive intermittently or clocked, so z. B. can be applied in each work cycle to an object moved past the dispenser edge a label.
  • Another feed unit is used for continuously removing the existing from the labels and the carrier label material from a supply roll and for conveying this label material in a loop slot of a loop forming, which is provided in the conveying direction between this further feed unit and the dispenser edge to an adjustment between the continuous peeling of the label material from the supply roll and the clocked advancing movement of the label material or of the carrier material over the dispenser edge.
  • the looper forms from the label material in the loop shaft without pulleys and only using an air or gas flow, a so-called “massless” or “almost massless” loop, so that for the intermittent feed movement of the label material or for the start-stop operation of the Label material over the dispenser edge moving feed unit constantly enough label material is available.
  • Another drive is provided for a receptacle or a winding mandrel for an empty reel, to which the empty, ie the labels no longer having web-shaped carrier material is wound up.
  • a disadvantage of known devices is that, in particular with thin carrier material, there is a beating or flapping, i. to an oscillating, lateral deflection of the label or carrier material in the course or on the web length between the loop former and the dispenser edge and / or in the course or on the track length after the dispenser edge and before the empty bobbin having winding mandrel can come, and as a result to a noise development and / or to production disturbances by tearing of the carrier material.
  • thicknesses in the range between 20 and 25 ⁇ m have hitherto been usual for the carrier material. Label materials with thinner support materials, for example in the range of 15 microns, as they would be useful for reasons of saving material and / or disposal costs and to increase the number of labels per supply reel, can not be processed with known devices production safe.
  • article means a wide variety of articles and / or products which are provided with one or more labels, in particular also containers, such as bottles, cans, containers, etc.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device with which the aforementioned disadvantages are avoided.
  • a device according to the patent claim 1 is formed. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
  • the labeled in the figure with 1 labeling consists u.a. from a flat housing or support 2, on the upper side of which various functional elements of the labeling unit 1 are provided, namely u.a.
  • a loop former 8 for forming an approximately "massless” loop from the label material 4 in a loop slot 8.1
  • a dispensing edge 9 over which the label material 4 is guided under deflection by almost 180 °, namely for dispensing the self-adhesive labels 4.2 at this donor edge guided past, to be labeled objects 10, for example, bottles of the same container.
  • Rollack 13 and 14 and feed units 15, 16, 17 are provided for the label material 4 and 4.1 of the substrate.
  • the label material 4 in the illustrated embodiment of the supply roll 5 via three pulleys 11, on the roller storage 13 to maintain a predetermined web tension, on the feed unit 15 for withdrawing the label material 4 from the roll 5 and for conveying the label material 4 in the Loop former 8, through the loop former 8, over the thrust unit 16 and a plurality of guide rollers 11 guided to the dispenser edge 9.
  • the empty carrier material 4.1 is in the illustrated embodiment of the dispenser edge 9 via the feed unit 17 and a plurality of pulleys to the feed unit 18 and from there via the roller storage 14 and its roles to the recording 6 and the local empty reel 7 for winding the not more required substrate 4.1 out.
  • the feed units 15-18 each consist of a driven roller 15.1, 16.1, 17.1 or 18.1 and a freely rotatable counter roller 15.2, 16.2, 17.2 and 18.2.
  • the label material 4 or the carrier material 4.1 is in each case passed between the two rollers of the corresponding feed unit 15-18.
  • a clocked removal of the carrier material 4.1 from the dispenser edge 9 is required so that the feed unit 17 or the driven roller 17.1 of this device is driven in a clocked manner by the associated drive.
  • the label material 4 is continuously withdrawn from the supply or the roll 5.
  • the feed unit 15 is driven continuously, in such a way that during a working cycle of the clocked driven feed unit 17 funded length of the substrate 4.1 corresponds to the withdrawn by the conveyor 15 in the same time unit of the roll 5 length of label material 4.
  • the receptacle 6 is controlled by a voltage of the substrate 4.1 measuring sensor 19 driven such that during operation of the labeling unit 1 with the receptacle 6 is always wound such a length of substrate 4.1, that this substrate in the course or on the web length between the roller storage 14 and the receptacle 6 has a predetermined web tension, the support material 4.1 is thus wound onto the bobbin 7, without it comes on the track length between the roll memory 14 and the receptacle 6 to flutter or beating of the substrate 4.1.
  • the feed units 16 and 18 are driven synchronously with the feed unit 17, and also clocked in such a way that the conveying speed of the feed unit 16 by an amount x is smaller than the conveying speed n of the feed unit 17, ie the conveying speed of the feed unit 16 nx.
  • the feed unit 18 is designed such that its conveying speed is greater by an amount y than the conveying speed n of the feed unit 17, ie the conveying speed of the feed unit 18 is n + y.
  • both feed units 16 and 18 are designed such that the label material 4 or the carrier material 4.1 is guided with slippage between the rollers 16.1 and 16.2 or 18.1 and 18.2.
  • the different feed speeds of the feed units 16, 17 and 18 are realized, for example, that although these feed units or their rollers 16.1, 17.1 and 18.1 are driven by a common intermittent or clocked drive, but via drive trains with different gear ratio, and / or realized in that the driven rollers 16.1, 17.1 and 18.1 have different diameters corresponding to the different feed speeds.
  • the feed unit 16 is located in the embodiment shown directly at the outlet of the loop former 8 and the loop shaft 8.1, in which case a roller of the feed unit 16, for example, the counter roll 16.2, is formed by a deflection roller or roller anyway necessary at this outlet.
  • the feed unit 18 is provided directly at the inlet of the roller storage 14 (dancer roller storage).
  • a roller or roller of this feed unit, for example, the counter-roller 18.2, here is preferably the immediately provided at the inlet of this roller storage role.
  • the loop former 8 is also used in the illustrated embodiment to compensate for the continuous feed movement of the label material 4 on the web length between the supply roll 5 and the feed unit 15 and the clocked feed movement of the label material 4 on the web length between the feed unit 16 and the dispenser edge 9 and is so formed in that its loop slot 8.1, the loop from the label material 4 without the use of pulleys, eg is formed by a loop passage through the flowing gaseous medium, for example by compressed air.
  • the label material 4 as well as the carrier material 4.1 are each passed under slip through the feed units 16 and 18 respectively.
  • these feed units controlled drives so then these feed units or their drives using the web tension measuring or detecting sensors are driven so that the respectively required, inter alia, the flutter preventing web tension is reached.
  • one or more feed units 15-18 to drive both rollers or rollers 15-18.1 or 15.2-18.2 in opposite directions.
  • the sensors which measure or detect the web tension may, for example, be a movable roller bearing on the label material 4, which is deflected from its normal position as a function of the existing web tension by a certain distance.
