- the number of cameras required for the camera system depends, among other things, on the condition of the processed containers (eg material, transparency or opacity, color, surface or surface condition, filling, etc.).
- the container to be labeled follows the rotational movement of the container carrier during
- Container carrier and the container in particular caused by contamination and / or moisture on the container and / or container carrier, so that itself
- the object of the invention is to provide a method with which the aforementioned disadvantages are avoided and which enables a high-precision application of labels to bottles, cans or similar containers with respect to typical collector design features, in particular with respect to typical geometric container characteristics on the container outer surface.
- a method according to claim 1 is formed.
- a device or labeling machine for carrying out the method is the subject of claim 16.
- the peculiarity of the method according to the invention is that the start or transfer time at which the transfer of the respective label to the at the labeling station is moved past the container, depending on the orientation and / or the actual shape, that is, for example, controlled by the size and / or shape of the respective designer typical design feature, by appropriate control of the labeling and without Ausrichtoder rotational movement of the container.
- Control of the start or handover time is accomplished using an image recognition and processing system that captures the container typical design feature of each container and, by analyzing the corresponding image, causes the control of the start or handover date or labeling station to cause the label delivered to the respective container with high precision with respect to its container typical design feature and applied to this container.
- Fig. 1 in a simplified representation and in side view of a container in the form of a bottle with a typical geometric feature on the outer surface, namely with a sealing surface;
- Fig. 2 in a simplified representation and in plan view of a labeling machine rotating design for labeling the bottles in the area provided with the typical geometric feature outer surface.
- the generally designated 1 in Figure 2 labeling machine revolving design is used for labeling bottles 2, d. H. for applying labels 3 to the peripheral surface of the bottles 2 in the most accurate possible alignment with a typical or distinctive geometric feature 4, which is provided on the outer surface of the bottle 2.
- This geometric feature 4 is in the illustrated embodiment, a sealing surface on which the respective label 3 should be located exactly in the middle.
- the geometrical feature 4, on which the application of the labels 3 is to take place with the utmost accuracy, may also have a different design, for example in the form of an ornament, an embossing, a raised lettering on the outer surface, etc.
- the bottles 2 to be labeled are standing upright to the labeling machine 1, that is, with its bottle or container axis oriented in the vertical direction fed via a conveyor 5 as a single-lane bottle flow and then arrive via a serving as a bottle or container inlet transport star 6 each on a bottle or container carrier 7, which along with a variety of similar container carrier on the periphery one about a vertical machine axis circumferentially driven rotor 8 (arrow A) is provided.
- Each bottle 2 is aligned on its container carrier 7 by rotating this container carrier about a vertical container carrier axis (double arrows B of Figure 2) exactly with respect to the geometric feature 4 and so moved with the rotating rotor 8 at a labeling station 9, where the respective Label 3 with the label leading edge 3.1 is passed to the moving past the labeling station 9 over bottle, in such a way that the respective label 3 after full pressure against the bottle 2 has the desired positioning with respect to the geometric feature 4 with high precision , d. H.
- the respective label 3 is arranged, for example, in the center in which the sealing surface forming the geometric feature 4 or enclosed by a bead-like edge is arranged.
- the labeling station 9 is formed in the illustrated embodiment for the processing of self-adhesive labels 3. Also, the use of other labeling stations or units, for example for applying labels 3 using glue, can be used in the invention.
- the labeled bottles 2 arrive with the rotor 8 and via a transport star forming the bottle or container outlet 10 on a conveyor 11 and are fed through this to a further use, for example a packing machine.
- the container carriers 7 are, for example, bottle plates on which the bottles 2 stand up with their bottom of the bottle. Other embodiments of the container carrier 7 are conceivable, for example in the form that the bottles 2 are held on these container carriers 7 each hanging.
- the individual container carrier 7 are each provided with its own, controllable actuator or rotary drive, with which the controlled rotational movement about the vertical transport carrier axis done according to the double arrow B.
- the individual drives of the container carrier 7 are controlled by a central control device 12 (central computer), in response to signals from three camera systems, which are each schematically indicated by the video cameras 13, 14 and 15.
- the cameras 13 - 15 are each provided on the movement path of the bottles 2 arranged on the container carriers 7 in the vicinity of the circumference of the rotor 8, but with this not moved between the transport star 5 and the labeling station 9.
- the cameras 13-15 are furthermore oriented in such a way that they always detect the area of each bottle 2 which has the typical geometric feature 4 and which is moved past them. Furthermore, the cameras 13 - 15 are part of an image processing and recognition system which, inter alia, from the respective camera 13 - 15, a corresponding lighting, from a computer, for example, the central control device or the central computer 12, as well as one on this Computer installed Jardin marsgnacspp. Image recognition software exists.
- Each transferred from the Transportstem 5 to one of the container carrier 7 bottle 2 passes first the camera 13. With this camera or with this camera 13 enclosing image recognition and processing system, the actual position of the typical geometric feature 4 of the passing bottle 2 determined and then causes a control signal for controlling the container carrier in question by the control device 12, in such a way that the bottle in question 2 is preferably brought with the shortest rotation in the desired position or target orientation, with the highest possible accuracy ,
- the opening angle of the optics of the camera 14 is preferably chosen so that with this camera, in contrast to the camera 13 is not the entire bottle 2 or a large part of the outer surface of the bottle 2, but essentially only the typical geometric feature 4 of each bottle. 2 is detected in the region of a prominent component used for the alignment, for example, the leading edge 4 of the geometric feature 4 relative to the direction of rotation A of the rotor 8. Also, with the camera 14 including image recognition and processing system, only the location of the geometric feature of each bottle 2, the feature itself or any tolerances on the design of this feature, such as dimensional and / or dimensional tolerances, are disregarded by the image recognition and processing systems incorporating the cameras 13 and 14.
- the actual shape ie, for example, the shape and / or size of this feature is detected.
- this actual shape of the respective feature 4 is analyzed or measured, and z. B. by comparison with corresponding in the system, ie stored in the controller 12 values (actual values) at the labeling station 9, the time of transfer of the respective label 3 to the respective over-moved bottle 2 controlled such that the label 3 after application despite tolerances of the respective geometric feature 4, for example, in terms of shape and / or size, despite a non-optimal orientation, etc.
- the invention has been described above by means of an embodiment. It is understood that changes and modifications are possible.
- the camera 13 already in the area of the container or bottle inlet of the labeling machine 1, as indicated in FIG. 2 by 13.1 or 13.2, for example at a position of the conveyor 5 in the transport direction in front of the inlet star 6 (camera 13.1), if it is ensured by appropriate measures, such as clamping devices or clamping fingers, that the bottles 2 can no longer arbitrarily rotate around their vertical axis of the bottle after passing through the camera 13.1.
- the camera 13 may be provided in the region of the inlet star 6, as indicated by 13.2, if at least the inlet star 6 by appropriate measures, such as clamping fingers, etc., an arbitrary rotation of the bottle 2 is prevented by its vertical axis bottle.
- the fine alignment as described above in connection with the camera 14 and the associated image recognition and processing system, and the control of the transfer or Starting time in the transfer of labels depending on the detected actual orientation and shape of the respective geometric feature 4 using a common Camera, for example, the camera 14 perform.
- the camera 15 would be omitted.
- the image captured by the camera 14 is then used first for the fine alignment and then also for the control transfer time of the respective label 3.
- This embodiment has the advantage, inter alia, that by eliminating a camera, the angle of rotation between the for the fine alignment and for the determination of the label transfer time used camera and the labeling station 9 is increased, so that, inter alia, the time available for the fine alignment is increased.
- the accelerations (spin) when rotating or aligning the container carrier 7 can be reduced so far that in the fine alignment by the inertia the bottles 2 conditional slip between the respective container carrier 7 and the bottle 2 provided on this is avoided.
