Definitions
- the invention relates to a machine for furnishing articles according to the preamble of claim 1.
- FIG. 1 This document shows a labeling machine with a table top on which a continuously driven carousel for passing articles to be equipped is mounted on labeling units. This tabletop also carries the mentioned labeling. A change of the labeling is time-consuming and cumbersome in this construction. Furthermore, such labeling machines build relatively large space because of the large table top.
- Fig. 4 of the same document discloses an embodiment in which the labeling units are designed as freestanding, replaceable modules with their own base and an associated drive.
- a fixing of the labeling is necessary.
- the labeling units are bolted to the hall floor, for example.
- this solution already provides improved handling of the labeling in the event of a change of aggregate. Nevertheless, this design still requires some effort to align and fix the labeling, which beats negative in particular with a frequent change of aggregate with respect to the changeover times.
- the invention is based on the object to provide an improved solution for easier and faster handling of labeling in Umstell.
- the unit intake is aligned once when setting up the machine exactly relative to the carousel or the transport plane of the articles to be equipped. Particularly advantageous is a subsequent firm anchoring of the unit intake on the hall floor.
- This power take-up may be tailored to the conditions prevailing at the site.
- Particularly favorable is an adjustable construction which is as infinitely variable alignment of the aggregate receptacle relative to the carousel in relation to the required height and / or the radial distance and / or the inclination to the transport plane adjustable.
- each first elements that engage the insertion of a labeling in the aggregate receptacle in associated second elements on the aggregate receptacle, wherein upon insertion or insertion of the labeling the interaction of the first and second elements centering and determining the position of the labeling.
- Said first and second elements may be in the form of preferably adjustable stop bodies, which limit the insertion or insertion movement of the labeling in the desired end position.
- a complementary design of the first and second elements associated with the labeling unit and the unit mount is expedient, in particular by a form-fitting design, such that an automatic alignment of a labeling unit relative to the unit mount takes place when the elements are assembled until reaching the end position.
- Particularly suitable for this purpose are centering cones which engage in a form-fitting manner in correspondingly adapted centering bores.
- the height adjustment device preferably has a motor actuation, for example an electric motor.
- Fig. 1 is a part of a labeling machine in the basic structure without a labeling unit shown in perspective.
- the article to be labeled is also a continuously transporting carousel (see Fig. 6 ) not illustrated.
- the machine 1 essentially consists of a frame 2 with an approximately centrally arranged pivot bearing 9 for the carousel. At a radial distance from the pivot bearing an at least teilumfnature ring 4 is fixedly attached to the frame 2 concentric to this.
- On the ring 4 is a stationary aggregate receptacle 5 for a quick-change labeling unit 8 with connecting elements 10 (FIG. Fig. 2 ).
- the aggregate receptacle 5 is formed as a barren, to the radially outer side open tubular construction, the four at the corners of an imaginary rectangle vertically arranged height-adjustable support legs 53 (fastened to the ground) with two on the upper ends in parallel in a horizontally aligned plane with spacing support bars 54 having a circular cross-section. The spacing between them is greater than the outer housing width of a labeling unit 8 in this area.
- first elements 51 are mounted laterally projecting from the housing of the labeling unit 8 so that they meet when inserting or lowering a Etikettieraggregats from above on the support rods 54 and bear laterally against the second elements 52. Due to the rounded to the pipe cross-section on the side facing the support rods 54 side of the first elements 51 results in a positive connection, the operating position of the labeling 8 both longitudinally and transversely fixed immovably to the support rods 54. The aggregate holder 5 transfers the entire weight of the labeling directly to the ground.
- the second elements are provided with an insertion bevel 521 at least at their upwardly pointing area.
- an integrated or external lifting device (pallet truck, hoist, etc.) is required.
- the aggregate receptacle 5 is set up when setting up the machine 1 once to the exact working position (height, radial distance, inclination to the transport plane) of a labeling. Thereafter, any labeling can be used, since the first elements 51 are all mounted in an exact same position on each unit housing.
- This construction is in principle a lean version of the first embodiment and has only two support legs 63, which are also on the ring 4 - preferably form-fitting - attached. Both support legs 63 are designed as hollow tubes with a circular cross-section. At the lower end in each case a threaded bush 66 is pressed. This is penetrated by a screw spindle 65 (see sectional view in FIG Fig. 5 ). It is used for height adjustment of the ground, z. B. with screws immovably mounted feet 67. At the upper open end of the hollow tubes in each case a conically shaped seat 62 is formed for the positive reception of a Zentrierkegels 61 which is attached to the labeling unit or a plate-shaped arm 64 disposed thereon.
- Both hollow tubes are connected near the ground via a horizontal cross member 68.
- At least one horizontally extending, preferably continuously adjustable stop 69 (adjusting screw or the like) is fastened to the transverse strut for determining the inclination of a labeling unit to which the unit housing rests.
- the at least one stop 69 may, conversely, also be attached to the unit housing and be supported on the transverse strut 68.
- the two mentioned centering cones 61 are screwed to the underside of two laterally projecting from the labeling aggregate boom plates 64 and indeed at the same height with the hollow tubes 63 congruent distances.
- a third embodiment of an aggregate receptacle 7 is the subject of Fig. 6 and 7 , Compared to the second embodiment described above, the main difference in an integrated lifting device 80, which allows lifting a Etikettieraggregats in different operating positions for setting different Etikettenklebe Againnchn. This can be dispensed without replacement on the previously provided in the labeling unit height adjustment.
- This third embodiment 7 has two vertically parallel aligned, attached to the ring 4 and bottom ball guides 73, the movable carriage 74 are rigidly connected via a formed of a thick-walled profiled sheet metal part cross member 75.
- a support leg 76 is formed in each case, which has a centering cone 72 on its upper side.
- an electromotive lifting drive is provided, which consists in detail of a frame-fixed geared motor 79 with a vertically oriented threaded spindle 78, which passes through a threaded hole in a rigidly attached to the crosspiece 75 block 77.
- the upper operating position can be fixed by presettable stops or limit switches, which are not shown in the travel path. But it is in connection with a Program memory the ability to retrieve different operating positions at the push of a button via a position query and set automatically by motor.
- Fig. 7 the carousel 3 of the labeling machine 1 can be seen in a schematic representation. It can be equipped with a plurality of equally spaced on a common pitch circle turntables for receiving the articles to be labeled such as bottles or the like.
- Fig. 8 shows a fourth embodiment of an aggregate receptacle designated 40. It is characterized by a flat underfloor construction, ie an unillustrated labeling unit can be parked with its underside on the plate-like unit mount and held in a centered relative to the carousel 3 alignment.
- a plurality of centering elements 43 are arranged offset on a horizontal plate 41, each having a centering cone 45 and a support surface 44.
- the plate 41 stands on four feet 42.
- the feet 42 and / or the centering elements 43 are individually adjustable in height by threaded fasteners to hold the labeling in the desired orientation. This setting is usually only done once.
- At the bottom of a labeling unit or its support frame are located to the centering elements 43 aligned centering holes. Via a connecting element 10 ', the plate 41 is connected to the frame 4 attached to the frame 4.
- the plate 41 may conveniently be hingedly coupled about a horizontal axis via a pivot joint 46 to the connecting element 10 ', so that the aggregate receptacle 40 when not in use by means of a handle 49 (FIGS. Fig. 9 ) from an operating position (upper illustration of Fig. 8 ) at ninety degrees upwards into an inoperative position (lower illustration of the Fig. 8 ) is foldable. This measure ensures good accessibility of the machine.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Maschine zum Ausstatten von Artikeln gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a machine for furnishing articles according to the preamble of claim 1.
Aus
Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine verbesserte Lösung zum leichteren und schnelleren Handhaben von Etikettieraggregaten bei Umstellarbeiten anzugeben.In contrast, the invention is based on the object to provide an improved solution for easier and faster handling of labeling in Umstellarbeiten.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 bzw. 8.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of
Durch die wenigstens eine stationär an der Peripherie des Karussells vorgesehene bodengestützte Aggregataufnahme ist ein schneller und trotzdem genauer Wechsel von beliebigen Etikettieraggregaten möglich. Die Aggregataufnahme wird beim Aufstellen der Maschine einmalig exakt relativ zum Karussell bzw. der Transportebene der auszustattenden Artikel ausgerichtet. Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine anschließend feste Verankerung der Aggregataufnahme am Hallenboden.Due to the at least one stationary on the periphery of the carousel provided ground-based aggregate recording a quick and yet accurate change of any labeling is possible. The unit intake is aligned once when setting up the machine exactly relative to the carousel or the transport plane of the articles to be equipped. Particularly advantageous is a subsequent firm anchoring of the unit intake on the hall floor.
Diese Aggregataufnahme kann entsprechend den am Aufstellungsort gegebenen Verhältnissen maßangefertigt sein. Besonders günstig ist eine einstellbare Konstruktion, die eine möglichst stufenlose Ausrichtung der Aggregataufnahme relativ zum Karussell im Bezug auf die erforderliche Höhe und/oder den radialen Abstand und/oder die Neigung zur Transportebene einstellbar ist.This power take-up may be tailored to the conditions prevailing at the site. Particularly favorable is an adjustable construction which is as infinitely variable alignment of the aggregate receptacle relative to the carousel in relation to the required height and / or the radial distance and / or the inclination to the transport plane adjustable.
An den austauschbaren Etikettieraggregaten, die zur Verarbeitung unterschiedlicher Etikettentypen, wie z. B. Selbstklebeetiketten, Kaltleimetiketten oder Rollenetiketten ausgelegt sein können, befinden sich jeweils erste Elemente, die beim Einsetzen eines Etikettieraggregats in die Aggregataufnahme in zugeordnete zweite Elemente an der Aggregataufnahme eingreifen, wobei beim Einführen oder Einsetzen des Etikettieraggregats das Zusammenwirken der ersten und zweiten Elemente eine Zentrierung und Festlegung der Lage des Etikettieraggregats herbeiführt. Die genannten ersten und zweiten Elemente können in Form von vorzugsweise einstellbaren Anschlagkörpern ausgebildet sein, die die Einschub- bzw. Einsetzbewegung des Etikettieraggregats in der gewünschten Endlage begrenzen.On the exchangeable labeling units, which are used to process different types of labels, such as As self-adhesive labels, cold glue labels or roll labels can be designed, are each first elements that engage the insertion of a labeling in the aggregate receptacle in associated second elements on the aggregate receptacle, wherein upon insertion or insertion of the labeling the interaction of the first and second elements centering and determining the position of the labeling. Said first and second elements may be in the form of preferably adjustable stop bodies, which limit the insertion or insertion movement of the labeling in the desired end position.
Günstig ist eine komplementäre Ausbildung der am Etikettieraggregat und der Aggregataufnahme zugeordneten ersten und zweiten Elemente, insbesondere durch eine formschlüssige Ausgestaltung, derart, dass beim Zusammenfügen der Elemente bis zum Erreichen der Endlage eine selbsttätige Ausrichtung eines Etikettieraggregats relativ zur Aggregataufnahme erfolgt. Besonders geeignet sind hierfür Zentrierkegel, die in entsprechend angepasste Zentrierbohrungen formschlüssig eingreifen. Durch eine derartige Selbstzentrierung kann ein Austausch eines Etikettieraggregats problemlos ohne Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeug erfolgen. Bei entsprechender Anordnung der genannten ersten und zweiten Elemente, z. B. mit lotrechter Wirkungsrichtung, verbleibt das Etikettieraggregat allein durch sein Eigengewicht immer zentriert in der gewünschten Ausrichtlage relativ zum Karussell der Ausstattungsmaschine.A complementary design of the first and second elements associated with the labeling unit and the unit mount is expedient, in particular by a form-fitting design, such that an automatic alignment of a labeling unit relative to the unit mount takes place when the elements are assembled until reaching the end position. Particularly suitable for this purpose are centering cones which engage in a form-fitting manner in correspondingly adapted centering bores. By such self-centering replacement of a labeling can be done easily without the aid of tools. With a corresponding arrangement of said first and second elements, for. B. with vertical direction of action, the labeling remains alone by its own weight always centered in the desired alignment position relative to the carousel of the equipment machine.
Zur genauen und dauerhaften Beibehaltung der für das Etikettierergebnis wichtigen Relativlage von Aggregataufnahme und Karussell ist eine Verbindung der Aggregataufnahme mit dem das Karussell tragenden Gestell oder daran befestigten Bauteilen von Vorteil.For accurate and permanent maintenance of the important for the labeling result relative position of aggregate and carousel is a compound of aggregate recording with the carousel bearing frame or components attached to advantage.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine höhenverfahrbare Aggregataufnahme, weil damit eine Veränderung der Klebehöhe von Etiketten an auszustattenden Artikeln möglich ist. Zu diesem Zweck verfügten die bislang verwendeten Etikettieraggregate jeweils über eine verhältnismäßig aufwändige Höhenverstellvorrichtung, die nun entfallen kann. Da eine Ausstattungsmaschine der in Rede stehenden Bauart über erheblich mehr Etikettieraggregate als Aggregataufnahmeplätze an der Peripherie des Karussells verfügen kann, ist mit dieser vorteilhaften Weiterbildung eine erhebliche Verringerung des Bauaufwands verbunden. Die Höhenverstelleinrichtung verfügt bevorzugt über eine motorische Betätigung, beispielsweise einen Elektromotor.Particularly advantageous is a height-adjustable unit intake, because it allows a change in the adhesive height of labels to be equipped articles. For this purpose, the labeling units previously used each had a relatively complex height adjustment device, which can now be omitted. As an equipment machine the type in question may have significantly more labeling than Aggregataufnahmeplätze on the periphery of the carousel, is associated with this advantageous development, a significant reduction in construction costs. The height adjustment device preferably has a motor actuation, for example an electric motor.
Zur schnellen Umstellung auf unterschiedliche Etikettenklebehöhen können voreinstellbare, in den Verfahrweg des Etikettieraggregats verbringbare Anschlagkörper vorgesehen werden. Bei einer motorischen Betätigung können anstelle von Anschlagkörpern unterschiedlich positionierbare Endschalter Verwendung finden. Besonders günstig ist eine Höhenstellungsabfrage der Aggregataufnahme, z. B. über einen Drehgeber am elektrischen Antriebsmotor, weil dann in Verbindung mit einer Steuerung bei Erreichen der jeweils einer bestimmten Etikettenklebehöhe zugeordneten Stellung eine selbsttätige Abschaltung des Antriebs erfolgen kann. Zusammen mit einer speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerung können günstiger weise mehrere, unterschiedlichen Etikettenklebehöhen zugeordnete Positionswerte abgespeichert werden, die bei einer Umstellung der Ausstattungsmaschine durch Knopfdruck aufrufbar sind.For quick changeover to different adhesive label heights, it is possible to provide presettable stop bodies that can be moved into the travel path of the labeling unit. In a motorized actuation, differently positionable limit switches can be used instead of stop bodies. Particularly favorable is a height position query the aggregate, z. Example, via a rotary encoder on the electric drive motor, because then in conjunction with a controller upon reaching the respective assigned a certain Etikettenklebehöhe position an automatic shutdown of the drive can take place. In combination with a programmable logic controller, it is possible to store a plurality of position values assigned to different label adhesion levels, which can be called up by a button press during a changeover of the equipment machine.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der verbleibenden Unteransprüche.Further advantageous embodiments are the subject of the remaining dependent claims.

Aus
Die Aggregataufnahme 5 ist als eine barrenartige, zur radial äußeren Seite offene Rohrkonstruktion ausgebildet, die vier an den Eckpunkten eines gedachten Rechtecks vertikal angeordnete höheneinstellbare Stützbeine 53 (am Boden befestigbar) mit zwei auf deren oberen Enden parallel in einer horizontal ausgerichteten Ebene mit Zwischenabstand verlaufende Auflagestangen 54 mit kreisrundem Querschnitt aufweist. Der Zwischenabstand ist größer bemessen als die äußere Gehäusebreite eines Etikettieraggregats 8 in diesem Bereich.The
Auf wenigstens einer der radial zum Ring 4 ausgerichteten Auflagestangen 54 befinden sich zwei anklemmbare zweite Elemente 52 in teilbarer Ausführung zur Festlegung der Position eines Etikettieraggregats im Zusammenwirken mit am Aggregatgehäuse befestigten ersten Elementen 51, die in
Diese in etwa sichelartig geformten ersten Elemente 51 sind seitlich vom Gehäuse des Etikettieraggregats 8 abstehend so angebracht, dass sie beim Einsetzen bzw. Absenken eines Etikettieraggregats von oben auf die Auflagestangen 54 treffen und seitlich an den zweiten Elementen 52 anliegen. Aufgrund der an den Rohrquerschnitt angepassten Ausrundung an der zu den Auflagestangen 54 weisenden Seite der ersten Elemente 51 ergibt sich ein Formschluss, der die Betriebsposition des Etikettieraggregats 8 sowohl längs als auch quer zu den Auflagestangen 54 unverrückbar festlegt. Dabei überträgt die Aggregataufnahme 5 das gesamte Gewicht des Etikettieraggregats unmittelbar auf den Boden.These approximately crescent-shaped
Um ein selbsttätiges, schwerkraftunterstütztes Einführen und Zentrieren des Etikettieraggregats zu erleichtern, sind die zweiten Elemente zumindest an ihrem nach oben weisenden Bereich mit einer Einführschräge 521 versehen. Zum Einsetzen oder Entfernen eines Etikettieraggregats ist eine integrierte oder externe Hubeinrichtung (Hubwagen, Hebezeug etc.) erforderlich.In order to facilitate an automatic, gravity-assisted insertion and centering of the labeling unit, the second elements are provided with an insertion bevel 521 at least at their upwardly pointing area. To insert or remove a labeling unit, an integrated or external lifting device (pallet truck, hoist, etc.) is required.
Die Aggregataufnahme 5 wird beim Aufstellen der Maschine 1 einmalig auf die exakte Arbeitsposition (Höhe, radialer Abstand, Neigung zur Transportebene) eines Etikettieraggregats eingerichtet. Danach können beliebige Etikettieraggregate eingesetzt werden, da die ersten Elemente 51 alle in einer exakt gleichen Position am jeweiligen Aggregatgehäuse angebracht sind.The
Sinngemäß gilt dies auch für die in den
Beide Hohlrohre sind im bodennahen Bereich über eine horizontale Querstrebe 68 verbunden. An der Querstrebe ist wenigstens ein horizontal verlaufend ausgerichteter, bevorzugt stufenlos verstellbarer Anschlag 69 (Stellschraube o. dgl.) zur Festlegung der Neigung eines Etikettieraggregats befestigt, an dem das Aggregatgehäuse anliegt. Der wenigstens eine Anschlag 69 kann umgekehrt aber auch am Aggregatgehäuse angebracht sein und sich an der Querstrebe 68 abstützen.Both hollow tubes are connected near the ground via a
Die beiden genannten Zentrierkegel 61 sind an der Unterseite von jeweils zwei seitlich vom Etikettieraggregat abstehenden Auslegerplatten 64 angeschraubt und zwar in gleicher Höhe mit zu den Hohlrohren 63 deckungsgleichen Abständen.The two mentioned centering cones 61 are screwed to the underside of two laterally projecting from the labeling
An den seitlichen, über die Hohlrohre 63 überstehenden Enden der horizontal ausgerichteten Querstrebe 68 befinden sich schrägstehende Einweisflächen 68', die beim Einführen eines geringfügig angehobenen Etikettieraggregats 8 in radialer Richtung zum Ring 4 das selbstätig seitliche, d. h. tangentiale Ausrichten bewerkstelligen, bis die Einführbewegung durch Anliegen des wenigstens einen Anschlags 69 gestoppt wird. In dieser Situation fluchten die mit ihrem verjüngten Ende nach unten weisenden Zentrierkegel 61 zumindest annähernd mit dem jeweils darunter zugeordneten konischen Sitz 62 in den Hohlrohren 63. Durch Absenken gelangen die Zentrierkegel in formschlüssigen Eingriff mit ihren Sitzflächen, wobei eine sehr genaue Feinzentrierung erfolgt. Durch die Schwerkraft des Etikettieraggregats ist dessen Betriebsposition (siehe
Ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Aggregataufnahme 7 ist Gegenstand der
Diese dritte Ausführungsform 7 verfügt über zwei vertikal parallel ausgerichtete, am Ring 4 und Boden befestigte Kugelführungen 73, deren verfahrbaren Schlitten 74 über eine aus einem dickwandigen profilierten Blechteil gebildete Quertraverse 75 starr verbunden sind. An den beiden äußeren Seitenrändern der Quertraverse 75 ist jeweils ein Tragschenkel 76 angeformt, der an seiner Oberseite einen Zentrierkegel 72 aufweist. Diese sind zur Ausrichtung und Zentrierung des Etikettieraggregats beim Anheben aus einer tieferliegenden Bereitschaftsstellung mit an der überkragenden Unterseite des Etikettieraggregats abstandsgleich vertieft eingeformten Kegelsitzflächen (nicht dargestellt) formschlüssig in Eingriff bringbar.This
Zum Auf- und Abfahren der Quertraverse 75 ist ein elektromotorischer Hubantrieb vorgesehen, der im Einzelnen aus einem gestellfesten Getriebemotor 79 mit einer vertikal ausgerichteten Gewindespindel 78 besteht, die eine Gewindebohrung in einem an der Quertraverse 75 starr befestigten Klotz 77 durchgreift.For raising and lowering the
Die obere Betriebsposition ist durch nicht dargestellte, in den Verfahrweg verbringbare voreinstellbare Anschläge oder Endschalter festlegbar. Es besteht aber in Verbindung mit einem Programmspeicher die Möglichkeit, über eine Stellungsabfrage unterschiedliche Betriebspositionen per Knopfdruck abzurufen und selbsttätig motorisch einzustellen. Hierzu kann ein Drehstellungsgeber 79' am Antriebsmotor vorgesehen werden. Es muss lediglich für jede gewünschte Etikettenklebehöhe ein entsprechender Wert im Programmspeicher hinterlegt werden.The upper operating position can be fixed by presettable stops or limit switches, which are not shown in the travel path. But it is in connection with a Program memory the ability to retrieve different operating positions at the push of a button via a position query and set automatically by motor. For this purpose, a rotary position sensor 79 'can be provided on the drive motor. It must be deposited only for each desired label adhesion level a corresponding value in the program memory.
Ein Austausch von fahrbaren Etikettieraggregaten ist bei dieser Lösung besonders schnell auf äußerst bequeme Weise ohne irgendwelche Hilfsmittel möglich. Es versteht sich, dass nicht dargestellte Einweisflächen entsprechend dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel zur Vorausrichtung eines neu einzusetzenden Etikettieraggregats vorgesehen sein können.An exchange of mobile labeling is particularly fast in this solution in a very convenient way without any tools possible. It is understood that not shown Einweisflächen can be provided according to the second embodiment for pre-alignment of a newly inserted labeling.
