Die Erfindung betrifft eine Leimaufbereitungsvorrichtung insbesondere eine Leimaufheizvorrichtung, die bevorzugt zum Aufheizen von Etikettenleim verwendet wird, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a glue processing device, in particular a glue heating device, which is preferably used for heating Etikettenleim, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Vorrichtungen bekannt, bei denen ein Behältnis bzw. in dem Behältnis vorgesehener Etikettenleim mittels einer Kontaktheizung auf eine Verarbeitungstemperatur aufgeheizt wird. Die Druckschrift
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Aufbereitung von Leim, insbesondere zur Aufheizung von Leim bereitzustellen, die im Vergleich zu aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Vorrichtungen bzw. Verfahren einen reduzierten Energieverbrauch und lediglich eine im Wesentlichen reduzierte bzw. keine Ausgasung des Leims ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device and a method for processing glue, in particular for heating glue, which, compared to devices or methods known from the prior art, have a reduced energy consumption and only a substantially reduced or none Outgassing of the glue allows.
Die Lösung der zuvor gestellten Aufgabe erfolgt durch den Gegenstand des Vorrichtungsanspruches 1, der eine Leimaufheizvorrichtung beschreibt und durch den Gegenstand des Verfahrensanspruches 12.The solution of the above object is achieved by the subject matter of the device claim 1, which describes a glue heating device and by the subject of the method claim 12th
Die Leimaufheizvorrichtung weist hierbei zumindest einen Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme von Leim auf, ein erstes Temperierungsmittel zum Erwärmen des Leims in dem Aufnahmebereich und eine Transporteinrichtung zum Transport des Leims von dem ersten Aufnahmebereich zu einem Verarbeitungsbereich.The glue heating device in this case has at least one receiving area for receiving glue, a first tempering means for heating the glue in the receiving area and a transport device for transporting the glue from the first receiving area to a processing area.
Erfindungsgemäß ist im Bereich der Transportleitung ein zweites Temperierungsmittel zum Erwärmen des in der Transportleitung geführten Leims vorgesehen. Es ist hierbei mit der Bezeichnung Temperierungsmittel bevorzugt eine Heizeinrichtung benannt.According to the invention, a second tempering means for heating the glue carried in the transport line is provided in the region of the transport line. In this case, a heating device is preferably designated by the term tempering agent.
Der Aufnahmebereich entspricht beispielsweise jedem Bereich bzw. jedem Behältnis, dem auf eine beliebige Weise Leim zugeführt werden kann. Die Leimzufuhr kann beispielsweise durch ein Leitungselement erfolgen, durch das der Leim in den Bereich bzw. das Behältnis eingeführt wird. Ebenfalls möglich ist, dass der Leim durch Einschütten mittels eines weiteren Elements oder beispielweise durch das Zuführen mittels Kelle, Löffel, Eimer oder ähnlichen Behältnissen erfolgt.The receiving area corresponds, for example, each area or each container, which can be supplied in any way glue. The glue supply can be effected, for example, by a line element, through which the glue is introduced into the area or the container. It is also possible that the glue is made by pouring by means of another element or for example by feeding by means of trowel, spoon, bucket or similar containers.
Es ist ferner denkbar, dass beispielsweise neben einer weiteren Zuführeinrichtung ebenfalls Trichterelemente und Messeinrichtungen zur kontrollierten Zuführung des Leims vorgesehen sind. Weiterhin ist denkbar, dass die Zuführung des Leims zu dem Behälter im Vorfeld erfolgt und lediglich bereits zumindest teilweise gefüllte Behältnisse in der Vorrichtung verwendet werden. Neben Behältnissen könnte die Leimzuführung ebenfalls über Rinnen bzw. Leitungen erfolgen, wodurch ersichtlich wird, dass generell eine manuelle, teilmanuelle oder automatisierte Leimzuführung vorsehbar ist.It is also conceivable that, for example, in addition to a further feeding device also funnel elements and measuring devices are provided for the controlled feeding of the glue. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the supply of the glue to the container takes place in advance and only already at least partially filled containers are used in the device. In addition to containers, the glue supply could also be done via gutters or lines, which shows that in general a manual, semi-manual or automated glue supply is foreseeable.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das erste Temperierungsmittel zum Aufheizen des Leims von einer ersten Temperatur auf eine zweite Temperatur vorgesehen und das zweite Temperierungsmittel ist zum Aufheizen des Leims auf eine dritte Temperatur vorgesehen, wobei die dritte Temperatur höher als die zweite Temperatur ist. Die dritte Temperatur ist bevorzugt eine Temperatur zwischen 110°C und 190°C und besonders bevorzugt zwischen 130°C und 170°C und die zweite Temperatur ist bevorzugt eine Temperatur zwischen 70°C und 150°C und besonders bevorzugt zwischen 90°C und 130°C. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Aufheizprozess des Leims in einen Vorheizprozess und einen weiteren Aufheizprozess aufteilbar ist, wodurch eine energetisch optimierte Anpassung der Aufheizung des Leims gegeben ist.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first tempering means is provided for heating the glue from a first temperature to a second temperature, and the second tempering means is for heating the glue to a third temperature, the third temperature being higher than the second temperature , The third temperature is preferably a temperature between 110 ° C and 190 ° C and more preferably between 130 ° C and 170 ° C and the second temperature preferably a temperature between 70 ° C and 150 ° C and more preferably between 90 ° C and 130 ° C. This has the advantage that the heating process of the glue can be divided into a preheating process and a further heating process, which results in an energy-optimized adaptation of the heating of the glue.
Erfindungsgemäß ist mit dem ersten Temperierungsmittel eine Aufheizung des Leims kontaktlos durchführbar. Dies bedeutet, dass eine Erwärmung beispielsweise erst durch die Interaktion von Induktionskomponenten erfolgt, die bevorzugt voneinander beabstandet sind. Die beiden Induktionskomponenten sind weiterhin relativ zueinander bewegbar, wobei eine Induktionskomponente bevorzugt an dem Behältnis angeordnet ist und bevorzugt eine oder mehrere Induktionsplatten darstellt und die zweite Induktionskomponente mit einer Energieversorgung in Kontakt steht bzw. damit gekoppelt ist. Dabei ist es auch möglich, dass in das Aufnahmebehältnis eine ferristische Heizscheibe eingelegt ist, welche einen direkten Kontakt zu dem zu erwärmenden Medium aufweist.According to the invention, the heating of the glue can be carried out contactlessly with the first tempering agent. This means that heating occurs, for example, only through the interaction of induction components, which are preferably spaced apart from one another. The two induction components are further movable relative to each other, wherein an induction component is preferably arranged on the container and preferably represents one or more induction plates and the second induction component is in contact with or coupled to a power supply. It is also possible that in the receptacle, a ferrite heating plate is inserted, which has a direct contact with the medium to be heated.
Die zweite Induktionskomponente ist dabei derart ausgestaltet, dass sie ein elektromagnetisches Feld emmitieren kann, in das die erste Induktionskomponente einbringbar ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass bei einem Austausch des Aufnahmebereichs keine Demontage bzw. Montage der Heizeinrichtung erforderlich ist. Die mittels Induktion erhitzte Komponente ist bevorzugt auf der Innenseite des Aufnahmebereichs anbringbar, wodurch eine bessere Isolation des Aufnahmebereichs ermöglicht wird, da eine geschlossene Isolationsschicht um den Aufnahmebereich vorgesehen werden kann. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass zwischen dem Behälter und dem elektrischen Teil der Heizeinrichtung keine physische Verbindung benötigt wird und somit der Behälter bzw. der Aufnahmebereich sehr leicht zum Reinigen oder ähnlichen Tätigkeiten aus der Vorrichtung entfernt werden kann bzw. mehrere Behälter mit unterschiedlichen Leimsorten zum Austausch vorgehalten werden können, da ein Austausch der Behältnisse äußerst schnell durchgeführt werden kann.The second induction component is designed such that it can emmit an electromagnetic field into which the first induction component can be introduced. This has the advantage that when replacing the receiving area no disassembly or assembly of the heater is required. The induction-heated component is preferably attachable to the inside of the receiving area, whereby a better insulation of the receiving area is made possible, since a closed insulating layer can be provided around the receiving area. This has the advantage that between the container and the electrical part of the heater no physical connection is needed and thus the container or the receiving area can be removed very easily for cleaning or similar activities from the device or more containers with different types of glue for replacement can be kept, since an exchange of containers can be carried out extremely quickly.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Pumpeneinrichtung, insbesondere eine Leimpumpe, zum Transport des Leims bevorzugt innerhalb der Vorrichtung vorgesehen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass je nach Ansteuerung der Pumpe eine beliebige bzw. die jeweils benötigte Menge an Leim in der Vorrichtung transportiert werden kann.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pump device, in particular an glue pump, is provided for transporting the glue preferably within the device. This has the advantage that, depending on the control of the pump, any or the respectively required amount of glue can be transported in the device.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung weist die Pumpeneinrichtung einen Motor auf, der lösbar bzw. steckbar mit der Leimaufnahmevorrichtung verbunden ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Motor der Pumpeneinrichtung bei Bedarf auf einfache Weise ausgetauscht werden kann. Aus diesem Grund sind unterschiedlich starke Motoren vorsehbar, die je nach Bedarf eingesetzt werden können. Ebenfalls denkbar ist, dass die gesamte Pumpeneinrichtung austauschbar, d.h. einfach lösbar mit der Leimaufnahmevorrichtung verbunden ist, wodurch bei Bedarf unterschiedlich starke Pumpen vorgesehen werden können. Ferner reduziert ein derartiger Aufbau den Aufwand bei Reparatur- oder Servicemaßnahmen, wenn die entsprechenden Einrichtungen (Motor, Pumpeneinrichtung) aufgrund eines geeigneten Stecksystems schnell und einfach an der Leimaufheizvorrichtung demontiert bzw. montiert werden können. Dabei ist es möglich, dass der Aufnahmebereich bzw. Behälter in einem Stück getauscht werden und eine Reinigung der Leimpumpe entfällt.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pump device has a motor which is detachably connected or pluggable with the glue receiving device. This has the advantage that the motor of the pump device can be easily replaced if necessary. For this reason, different-strength engines are foreseeable, which can be used as needed. It is also conceivable that the entire pump device be interchangeable, i. simply releasably connected to the glue receiving device, whereby different strength pumps can be provided if necessary. Furthermore, such a construction reduces the expense of repair or service measures when the corresponding devices (motor, pump device) can be quickly and easily disassembled or mounted on the glue heating device due to a suitable plug-in system. It is possible that the receiving area or container are exchanged in one piece and a cleaning of the glue pump is eliminated.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist in dem Verarbeitungsbereich eine Leimwalze zum Verteilen des Leims vorgesehen, wobei die Leimwalze mittels eines (dritten) Temperierungsmittels in einem Temperaturbereich von 110°C bis 190°C bevorzugt in einem Temperaturbereich von 130°C bis 170°C und besonders bevorzugt entsprechend der zweiten Temperatur temperierbar ist. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da der Leim in der gleichen Konfiguration verarbeitet werden kann, die zuvor in der Transportleitung eingestellt wurde. Ebenfalls denkbar ist, dass das dritte Temperierungsmittel eine von der zweiten Temperatur verschiedene Temperatur bereitstellt. Die durch das dritte Temperierungsmittel eingestellte Temperatur kann beispielsweise unter der zweiten Temperatur liegen, wodurch beispielsweise die Fließfähigkeit des Leims reduziert wird oder die Temperatur kann über der zweiten Temperatur liegen, wodurch ebenfalls die Fließfähigkeit, die Haftung und weitere Parameter des Leims an die vorliegenden Bedingungen anpassbar sind bzw. nach Wunsch einstellbar sind.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a glue roller for distributing the glue is provided in the processing area, wherein the glue roller by means of a (third) tempering agent in a temperature range of 110 ° C to 190 ° C, preferably in a temperature range of 130 ° C to 170 ° C and particularly preferably according to the second temperature is temperature controlled. This is advantageous because the glue can be processed in the same configuration previously set in the transport line. It is also conceivable that the third temperature control means provides a temperature different from the second temperature. For example, the temperature set by the third tempering means may be below the second temperature, thereby reducing, for example, the flowability of the glue or the temperature may be above the second temperature, thereby also adapting the flowability, adhesion and other parameters of the glue to the present conditions are or are adjustable as desired.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Leimwalze lösbar mit der Leimaufheizeinrichtung verbunden. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da, wie auch schon bei der Pumpeneinrichtung, ein einfach zu demontierendes oder zu montierendes Einrichtungselement gegeben ist, durch das die Flexibilität der gesamten Vorrichtung erhöht wird und eine vereinfachte Reinigung der Leimwalze bzw. der gesamten Vorrichtung ermöglicht wird. Bevorzugt ist die Leimwalze steckbar mit der Vorrichtung verbunden. Dies bedeutet, dass die Vorrichtung beispielsweise durch Austauschen der Leimwalze einfach an veränderte Randbedingungen bzw. Umstände anpassbar ist. Ferner kann die Leimwalze kostengünstig und einfach hergestellt werden, da ein teilweises Ausdrehen bzw. ein komplettes Ausdrehen der Leimwalze nicht erforderlich ist und die Lagerung der Walze mittels einer Welle erfolgen kann.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the glue roller is detachably connected to the glue heating device. This is advantageous because, as already in the case of the pump device, there is an easy-to-dismantle or to be installed device element, by means of which the flexibility of the entire device is increased and a simplified cleaning of the glue roller or of the entire device is made possible becomes. Preferably, the glue roller is pluggable connected to the device. This means that the device can be easily adapted to changed boundary conditions or circumstances, for example, by exchanging the glue roller. Furthermore, the glue roller can be produced inexpensively and simply, since a partial unscrewing or a complete unscrewing of the glue roller is not required and the bearing of the roller can be effected by means of a shaft.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das erste Temperierungsmittel eine Induktionsheizung und/oder das zweite Temperierungsmittel ist zumindest abschnittsweise eine Heizleitung, insbesondere ein Heizschlauch und/oder ein Heizrohr, und/oder das dritte Temperierungsmittel ist eine kontaktlose Heizung, insbesondere eine Induktionsheizung. Diese Ausgestaltungsvariante ist vorteilhaft, da mittels der kontaktlosen Heizung eine hohe Flexibilität der Vorrichtung ermöglicht wird, d.h. eine einfache Montage oder Demontage einzelner mit den kontaktlosen Heizungen gekoppelten Einrichtungen erfolgen kann. Die als Heizschlauch oder Heizrohr ausgeführte Heizleitung bzw. das zweite Temperierungsmittel stellt ebenfalls eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform dar, da im Vergleich zu der im Aufnahmeraum bereitgehaltenen Leimmenge, eine kleinere Leimmenge innerhalb der Transportleitung in einen Transportzustand oder in einem statischen bzw. unbewegten Zustand temperierbar ist. Als temperierbar ist neben einer Aufheizung ebenfalls eine Abkühlung oder eine Beibehaltung der jeweiligen Temperatur zu verstehen. Es ist ebenfalls vorstellbar, dass das zweite Temperierungsmittel auch als kontaktlose Heizung ausgeführt ist. Das dritte Temperierungsmittel weist bevorzugt mindestens eine Induktionsplatte auf.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first tempering means is an induction heating and / or the second tempering is at least partially a heating line, in particular a heating hose and / or a heating tube, and / or the third tempering is a non-contact heating, in particular an induction heater. This embodiment variant is advantageous in that by means of the contactless heating a high flexibility of the device is made possible, i. a simple assembly or disassembly of individual coupled with the contactless heaters facilities can be done. The heating line or the second tempering means embodied as heating tube or heating tube also represents an advantageous embodiment, since a smaller amount of glue within the transport line in a transport state or in a static or stationary state can be tempered compared to the amount of glue held in the receiving space. As temperature is to be understood in addition to a heating also a cooling or a retention of the respective temperature. It is also conceivable that the second tempering is designed as a contactless heating. The third tempering means preferably has at least one induction plate.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist mindestens eine Sensoreinrichtung zum Ermitteln von Parametern, insbesondere der Temperatur der einzelnen Einrichtungen und/oder der Leimparameter vorgesehen. Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, da durch die Sensoren neben weiteren Eigenschaften beispielsweise Temperatur, Fließgeschwindigkeit, Leimzusammensetzung und Viskosität des Leims sowie Eigenschaften der einzelnen Einrichtungen erfasst werden können. Eigenschaften der Einrichtungen sind hierbei beispielsweise der Output, die Leistung, die Betriebsstunden, die Temperatur, der Abrieb und/oder der Verschleiß. Die erfassten Parameter sind beispielsweise über eine Ausgabeeinrichtung, wie einen Bildschirm, Anzeigen oder akustisch einer Bedienperson ausgebbar.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one sensor device is provided for determining parameters, in particular the temperature of the individual devices and / or the glue parameters. This embodiment is advantageous since, in addition to other properties, the sensors can detect, for example, temperature, flow rate, glue composition and viscosity of the glue as well as properties of the individual devices. Properties of the devices here are, for example, the output, the power, the operating hours, the temperature, the abrasion and / or the wear. The detected parameters can be output for example via an output device, such as a screen, displays or acoustically an operator.
Ferner ist ebenso denkbar, dass eine Steuerungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, die anhand von Eingabegrößen und den erfassten Messgrößen eine entsprechende Steuerung der Vorrichtung durchführt. Dies ist ebenfalls vorteilhaft, da eine Bedienperson nur noch zur Einstellung der Steuerungseinrichtung bzw. zur Überwachung des Arbeitsprozesses der Vorrichtung benötigt wird, wobei ebenfalls eine manuelle Steuerung der Leimaufheizvorrichtung durch eine Bedienperson vorstellbar ist.Furthermore, it is also conceivable that a control device is provided, which carries out a corresponding control of the device on the basis of input variables and the detected measured variables. This is also advantageous, since an operator is only required for setting the control device or for monitoring the working process of the device, whereby manual control of the glue heating device by an operator is likewise conceivable.
Zumindest einzelne der zur Temperaturerfassung verwendeten Sensoren sind bevorzugt als kontaktlos arbeitende Sensoren ausgeführt. Bekannt sind derartige Sensoren beispielsweise aus der Produktlinie CONTIFORM der Anmelderin, in der eine kontaktlose Temperaturerfassung mittels Infrarotmessköpfen erfolgt. Die Sensoren werden bevorzugt zur Erfassung der Temperatur der Leimwalze eingesetzt, wodurch diese wiederum einfacher von der Leimaufheizvorrichtung entkoppelbar bzw. entnehmbar ist, da die Sensoren nicht in der Leimwalze eingebaut sind. Es ist jedoch ebenfalls vorstellbar, dass derartige Sensoren im Bereich des Behältnisses und/oder der Transportleitung vorgesehen sind.At least some of the sensors used for temperature detection are preferably designed as contactless sensors. Such sensors are known, for example, from the applicant's product line CONTIFORM, in which contactless temperature detection is carried out by means of infrared measuring heads. The sensors are preferably used for detecting the temperature of the glue roller, whereby this in turn is easier to decouple or removable from the Leimaufheizvorrichtung, since the sensors are not installed in the glue roller. However, it is also conceivable that such sensors are provided in the region of the container and / or the transport line.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist der Aufnahmebereich ein Behältnis, dessen zum Behältnisinneren zugewandte Oberfläche zumindest teilweise magnetisch bevorzugt ferromagnetisch ist. Bevorzugt besteht zumindest ein Teil der inneren Oberfläche des Behältnisses zumindest teilweise aus Eisen. Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, da durch eine zumindest teilweise magnetische Ausgestaltung der inneren Oberfläche des Behältnisses oder durch die eingelegte ferristische Heizscheibe magnetische Feldlinien gebündelt werden, wodurch aufgrund von Wirbelströmen und Ummagnetisierungsverlusten eine Aufheizung des magnetischen Oberflächenabschnittes erfolgt. Die Magnetisierungsverluste tragen bei einer derartigen Anordnung mit etwa 30 % zur Wärmeentwicklung bei. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass auch die eingelegte Scheibe unabhängig von der beschriebenen Erfindung angewandt werden kann.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the receiving area is a container whose surface facing the interior of the container is at least partially magnetically preferably ferromagnetic. Preferably, at least part of the inner surface of the container is at least partially made of iron. This embodiment is advantageous in that magnetic field lines are bundled by an at least partially magnetic configuration of the inner surface of the container or by the inserted ferrite heating disk, whereby due to eddy currents and Ummagnetisierungsverlusten a heating of the magnetic surface portion. The magnetization losses contribute in such an arrangement with about 30% for heat generation. It should be noted that the inserted disc can be applied independently of the described invention.
Weiterhin ist denkbar, dass zumindest Abschnitte des Behältnisses, insbesondere des Behältnisbodens bzw. zumindest einer Heizscheibe, als ferristischer Boden bzw. ferristische Heizscheibe (die in das Behältnis eingelegt wird) ausgelegt sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die magnetischen bzw. ferromagnetischen Behälterabschnitte direkt mit dem Medium, d.h. mit dem Leim, in Kontakt bringbar sind. Hierdurch wird der Nachteil mehrerer Wärmeübergänge vermieden, d.h. eines Wärmeübergangs von einem magnetischen Element auf einen Behälterabschnitt und von dem Behälterabschnitt auf das Medium bzw. den Leim. Der Wärmeübergang im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung findet bevorzugt direkt von dem magnetischen Oberflächenabschnitt auf den Leim statt. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Oberfläche des Behältnisses mit Rippen zum Verbessern des Erwärmübergangs versehen. Durch diese Rippen erfolgt eine Vergrößerung des Kontaktbereichs zwischen dem magnetischen Behälterabschnitt und dem Leim. Ferner ist durch eine derartige Ausführungsform eine großflächige Beheizung des Behältnisses bzw. des Leims im Behältnis möglich, wodurch im Vergleich zu gewöhnlichen Heizeinrichtungen eine schnellere und bessere Wärmeverteilung erzielbar ist.Furthermore, it is conceivable that at least sections of the container, in particular of the container bottom or at least one heating disk, are designed as a ferristic bottom or ferristic heating disk (which is inserted into the container). This has the advantage that the magnetic or ferromagnetic container sections can be brought directly into contact with the medium, ie with the glue. As a result, the disadvantage of multiple heat transfer avoided, ie a heat transfer from a magnetic element to a container portion and of the container portion on the medium or the glue. The heat transfer in the sense of the present invention preferably takes place directly from the magnetic surface portion on the glue. Particularly preferably, the surface of the container is provided with ribs for improving the heating transition. These ribs increase the contact area between the magnetic container portion and the glue. Furthermore, by such an embodiment, a large-scale heating of the container or of the glue in the container is possible, whereby a faster and better heat distribution can be achieved compared to conventional heaters.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das Behältnis zumindest abschnittsweise mehrschichtig aufgebaut, wobei zumindest eine Isolationsschicht zur Vermeidung von Wärmeverlusten vorgesehen ist. Dies ist aufgrund von Energieeinsparungen vorteilhaft. Energieeinsparungen ergeben sich hierbei durch die bedarfsgerechte Aufheizung unterschiedlicher Leimanteile. Diese Ausführungsform ist ebenfalls vorteilhaft, da durch die Isolierung ein Berührungsschutz realisiert wird, wodurch die mögliche Gefahr einer Verbrennung signifikant reduziert wird. Ferner ist vorteilhaft, dass der Behälter beispielsweise im Tiefziehverfahren aus Edelstahl hergestellt werden kann. Dies ist vorteilhaft gegenüber einer Fertigung aus Aluminium da dieser Werkstoff sehr teuer ist. Ein Edelstahl-Leimbehälter führt nicht zu einer Behinderung der induktiven Heizung, da Edelstahl nicht magnetisch ist und daher durch den Boden des Edelstahl-Leimbehälters keine Bündelung der magnetischen Feldlinien stattfindet.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the container is at least partially constructed in multiple layers, wherein at least one insulating layer is provided to prevent heat loss. This is advantageous because of energy savings. Energy savings result from the demand-driven heating of different glue components. This embodiment is also advantageous because a shock protection is realized by the insulation, whereby the possible risk of combustion is significantly reduced. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the container can be made, for example by deep drawing of stainless steel. This is advantageous over a production of aluminum since this material is very expensive. A stainless steel glue container does not interfere with inductive heating because stainless steel is not magnetic and therefore there is no bundling of the magnetic field lines through the bottom of the stainless steel glue container.
Denkbar ist ebenfalls, dass das Gehäuse des Leimbehälters aus Kunststoff gegossen ist, wodurch sich wiederum eine Reduzierung der Montagezeit ergibt, da ein Zusammenbau der Gehäuse bzw. der Behältnisteile entfällt. Ferner hat Kunststoff eine wesentlich höhere Isolationswirkung gegenüber Edelstahl, wodurch die Isolation des Behältnisses wesentlich verbessert wird, was zu einem geringeren Leistungsverbrauch führt.It is also conceivable that the housing of the glue container is molded from plastic, which in turn results in a reduction of the assembly time, since an assembly of the housing or the container parts is eliminated. Furthermore, plastic has a much higher insulating effect than stainless steel, which significantly improves the insulation of the container, resulting in lower power consumption.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung weist ein erster temperierter Leimanteil eine erste Temperatur auf und ein zweiter temperierter Leimanteil weist eine zweite Temperatur auf, wobei die zweite Temperatur höher als die erste Temperatur ist und der erste Leimanteil größer als der zweite Leimanteil ist. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da auf diese Weise eine Temperierung unterschiedlicher Volumina erfolgt, durch die es möglich ist mit geringem Energieaufwand eine kontinuierlich oder diskontinuierlich bereitgestellte Menge an Leim aufzuheizen. Dies ist ebenfalls aufgrund einer Reduzierung des Ausgasens des Leims vorteilhaft, da lediglich ein geringer Anteil des Leims über eine Temperatur (ca. 130°C) erhitzt wird, bei der ein Ausgasen des Leims erfolgen kann. Dies führt zu einer Konservierung der Leimqualität, wodurch der Leim länger haltbar bleibt und das Austreten von Leimdämpfen in die Maschine und/oder in den Bereich der Maschine bzw. in die Abfüllhalle vermieden wird.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first tempered glue portion has a first temperature and a second tempered glue portion has a second temperature, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature and the first glue portion is greater than the second glue portion. This is beneficial since In this way, a temperature control of different volumes takes place, by which it is possible with little energy expenditure to heat a continuously or discontinuously provided amount of glue. This is also advantageous because of a reduction in the outgassing of the glue, since only a small proportion of the glue is heated above a temperature (about 130 ° C.) at which outgassing of the glue can take place. This leads to a preservation of the glue quality, whereby the glue remains longer lasting and the leakage of glue vapors in the machine and / or in the area of the machine or in the filling hall is avoided.
Die Erfindung ist ebenfalls auf ein Leimaufheizverfahren gemäß Anspruch 12 gerichtet, das insbesondere zum Aufheizen von Etikettenleim dient und die Schritte aufheizen eines Aufnahmebereichs mittels eines ersten Temperierungsmittels und transportieren des Leims in einer Transportleitung umfasst. Hierbei dient der Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme von Leim und der Leim wird mittels der Transportleitung von dem Aufnahmebereich zu einem Verarbeitungsbereich transportiert.The invention is also directed to a glue heating method according to
Erfindungsgemäß wird innerhalb der Transportleitung eine Erwärmung des Leims mit einem im Bereich der Transportleitung vorgesehene Temperierungsmittel durchgeführt. In der Transporteinrichtung wird bevorzugt höher erwärmt als in dem Aufnahmebereich. Dieses Verfahren ist vorteilhaft, da es eine energetisch günstige Aufbereitung des Leims ermöglicht.According to the invention, the glue is heated within the transport line by means of a tempering means provided in the region of the transport line. In the transport device is preferably heated higher than in the receiving area. This method is advantageous because it allows an energetically favorable treatment of the glue.
Erfindungsgemäß wird durch das erste Temperierungsmittel eine kontaktlose Erwärmung des Leims durchgeführt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Behältnis ohne großen Aufwand abgenommen bzw. ausgewechselt werden kann, was zu einer Erleichterung der Wartungs- bzw. Reinigungsarbeiten am Leimbehälter führt. Bei einem weiteren bevorzugten Verfahren wird in das Innere des Aufnahmebereichs ein zu erwärmender Körper wie eine Heizscheibe eingelegt.According to the invention, contactless heating of the glue is carried out by the first tempering agent. This has the advantage that the container can be removed or replaced without much effort, resulting in a simplification of the maintenance or cleaning work on the glue container. In a further preferred method, a body to be heated, such as a heating disk, is inserted into the interior of the receiving area.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung wird im Aufnahmebereich ein erster Leimanteil erwärmt, wobei dieser Leimanteil größer ist als der Leimanteil, der in der Transportleitung erwärmt wird. Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, da aufgrund des natürlichen Ausgleichsverhaltens zwischen sich unterscheidenden Zuständen eine Temperaturzunahme des Leims gegenüber der Umgebungstemperatur einen höheren Energiebedarf erfordert, um die Temperatur des Leims auf dem jeweiligen Niveau zu halten. Je kleiner daher die aufzuheizende Menge und/oder je niedriger die Zieltemperatur ist, desto geringer ist der erforderliche Energiebedarf.In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first proportion of glue is heated in the receiving area, wherein this amount of glue is greater than the amount of glue which is heated in the transport line. This embodiment is advantageous because, due to the natural balance behavior between different states, a temperature increase of the glue relative to the ambient temperature requires a higher energy requirement in order to keep the temperature of the glue at the respective level. ever smaller therefore the amount to be heated and / or the lower the target temperature, the lower the required energy consumption.
Ferner ist ein Leimbehälter zur Aufnahme und zum Erhitzen von Leim für die Aufbereitung von insbesondere Heißleim vorgesehen wobei der Leimbehälter bevorzugt aus mindestens zwei Schichten besteht.Furthermore, a glue container is provided for receiving and heating glue for the preparation of, in particular hot glue, wherein the glue container preferably consists of at least two layers.
Der Behälter weist eine innere Oberfläche auf, die zumindest aus einem ersten Material besteht, das von einem zweiten Material, das die äußere Oberfläche bildet, verschieden ist. Dieser Aufbau ist vorteilhaft, da jeweils räumlich und aufgrund der verschiedenen Materialeigenschaften ein Temperierungsbereich und ein Kontaktbereich gebildet ist.The container has an inner surface that is at least a first material that is different than a second material that forms the outer surface. This structure is advantageous since a temperature control area and a contact area are formed spatially and on account of the different material properties.
Die erste Oberfläche besteht hierbei bevorzugt aus magnetischem Stahl oder aus Edelstahl in Verbindung mit Induktionsplatten bzw. magnetischen oder ferromagnetischen Elementen. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da Edelstahl relativ günstig ist und daraus gefertigte Behälter einfach im Tiefziehverfahren herstellbar sind.The first surface preferably consists of magnetic steel or stainless steel in conjunction with induction plates or magnetic or ferromagnetic elements. This is advantageous because stainless steel is relatively cheap and containers made from it can be easily produced by deep drawing.
Die zweite Oberfläche besteht bevorzugt aus Kunststoff, wie z. B. Olodur 3-000-00-008-6. Dies ist vorteilhaft, da Kunststoff mittels Kunststoffguss bzw. Kunststoffspritzen einfach verarbeitbar ist. Weiterhin wirkt Kunststoff isolierend, was zu Energieeinsparungen führt bzw. die Gefahr von Brandverletzungen beim Kontakt des Behältnisses vermindert.The second surface is preferably made of plastic, such as. B. Olodur 3-000-00-008-6. This is advantageous since plastic is easy to process by means of plastic casting or plastic syringes. Furthermore, plastic has an insulating effect, which leads to energy savings or reduces the risk of burn injuries when the container comes into contact.
Ferner ist bevorzugt zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Oberfläche zumindest eine Isolationsschicht vorgesehen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass ein weiter verbesserter Verbrennungsschutz erreicht wird und noch mehr Energie eingespart werden kann. Auch wäre es möglich, in ein Behältnis, welches aus einem ersten Material besteht, eine Heizplatte einzulegen, welche (von außen) induktiv erwärmbar ist.Furthermore, at least one insulation layer is preferably provided between the first and the second surface. This has the advantage that a further improved combustion protection is achieved and even more energy can be saved. It would also be possible to insert in a container which consists of a first material, a heating plate, which is inductively heated (from the outside).
Der Behälter bzw. die Heizplatte ist bevorzugt mittels eines kontaktlosen Temperierungsmittels erhitzbar. Diese Ausführungsform ist vorteilhaft, da durch eine teilweise magnetische Ausgestaltung der inneren Oberfläche des Behältnisses magnetische Feldlinien gebündelt werden, wodurch aufgrund von Wirbelströmen und Ummagnetisierungsverlusten eine Aufheizung des magnetischen Oberflächenabschnitts erfolgt. Die Magnetisierungsverluste tragen bei einer derartigen Anordnung mit etwa 30 % zur Wärmeentwicklung bei. Diese Ausführungsform ist ferner vorteilhaft, da ein einfaches Austauschen des Behältnisses zur vereinfachten Demontage, Montage, Reinigung oder Wartung der Leimaufheizvorrichtung, einzelner Einrichtungen der Leimaufheizvorrichtung oder des Behältnisses möglich ist.The container or the heating plate can preferably be heated by means of a contactless tempering means. This embodiment is advantageous since magnetic field lines are bundled by a partial magnetic configuration of the inner surface of the container, whereby due to eddy currents and Ummagnetisierungsverlusten a heating of the magnetic surface portion. The magnetization losses contribute in such an arrangement with about 30% for heat generation. This embodiment is also advantageous because a simple replacement of the container for simplified disassembly, assembly, cleaning or maintenance of Leimaufheizvorrichtung, individual facilities of Leimaufheizvorrichtung or container is possible.
