Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling unit specified in the preamble of claim 1. Art.
  • a change in the type of a label and / or a dimensional change of the container to be labeled and / or a change in the Division of the container requirement during labeling requires a conversion due to given geometric conditions in the labeling.
  • different may be kept for the labeling that fit different working conditions and are interchangeable.
  • the above-mentioned high labeling frequencies are only possible with upright, while rotating containers possible, which has the consequence that the axes of rotation in the labeling unit working components are also oriented at least substantially vertically.
  • the change sets are mounted in the labeling unit so that a change requires that each change set to be lifted during removal over a considerable axial path and then move up and / or sideways, and again insert at insertion from the side or from above and on the thread long axial path. Since auxiliary lifting devices are unusable due to the usually very limited access in Etikettieraggregat, retooling by operators must be done manually, which is extremely cumbersome and because of the considerable weight of each Garnit practicess, the large number of different Garnit stakee and especially the wide vertical lifting and lowering movement is unergonomic.
  • each pallet shaft must be raised from a coupling sleeve of the engine block below it after swinging away an upper support far up vertically to release the engagement between a polygon end of the pallet shaft and the coupling sleeve.
  • This also applies to the glue roller driven from below and likewise to the gripper cylinder.
  • the magazine in which the labels are kept stacked for transfer is usually threaded onto vertical support columns from above and supported so that lateral reaction forces from the label removal are easily absorbed and the magazine remains properly positioned.
  • the invention has for its object to make a labeling unit of the type mentioned in relation to a change of change sets ergonomically favorable and user-friendly.
  • connection of the at least one change set with the associated support is formed so that the connection by a substantially largely horizontal and lateral relative movement of the change set relative to the support is detachable and producible, eliminating the need to raise the change set when changing over a considerable amount or lower. Rather, the change set released by the essentially largely horizontal and lateral relative movement can be conveniently lifted away or transferred directly to a support such as a change carriage or the like. This is ergonomically favorable and user-friendly and also results in shorter changeover times.
  • connection to be loosened or produced after a change is a rotary coupling via which a torque and / or rotational movements can be transmitted during operation of the labeling unit, and which can be disengaged and engaged by a horizontal lateral tilting movement of the interchangeable set.
  • a horizontal lateral tilting movement for a user means a much lower load, as it arises when lifting or lowering the weight of the changing set over considerable height and in the vertical direction. Namely, the Kirgarnitur can be transferred with the tilting movement equal to a prepared support and then transported away without the operator has to carry or lift the total weight.
  • the respective rotary coupling is a Hirth coupling which has been known for decades as an easily detachable, torque-transmitting coupling in many fields of technology, where it matters, the Hirth rotary joint in confined spaces only easy to move in and out by a tilting movement.
  • the rotary coupling has two intermeshing, preferably identically designed, spur gear rings which can be moved in and out laterally relative to the coupling axis by a relative tilting movement of a coupling half and can transmit high torques in their full mutual engagement position.
  • a particularly important aspect of the rotary joint is that it is formed in addition to their easy tilting separability and -ininability as a centering between the waves to be coupled, so that only by establishing the full engagement position with each other to be coupled waves are properly centered to each other. Since a centering could also be formed by axially interlocking centering parts, which in turn would require a considerable lifting movement in a vertically standing change set of a Etikettieraggregats, the self-centering of the rotary coupling alone on the tilting rotary clutch engagement movement is a significant advantage that no appreciable lifting or lowering a heavy Komgarnitur requires.
  • each spur gear ring is arranged concentrically to the axis of the rotary joint about a central clearance, which, preferably, may be circular.
  • a central clearance which, preferably, may be circular.
  • each spur gear teeth circumferentially irregularly distributed teeth and Having tooth spaces, wherein the teeth and at least some of the interdental spaces in radial and axial directions have sloping flanks and ridges.
  • the circumferentially measured distance between the sloping flanks of each tooth symmetrically increases in the direction of the tooth root. In the radial direction inwards, at least a portion of the toothed crest slopes off in the direction of the tooth root.
  • the same teeth or interdental spaces on the spur gear rims and at least one additional positioning device for only a predetermined engagement position between the two spur gears could e.g. a centering pin on a Sitrnveriereungskranz and a receptacle for the centering pin in the other face gear be.
  • a magnetic axial which is convertible only by substantially horizontal and lateral tilting movement of the changing set when removing or attaching between holding and release positions and automatically via magnetic forces of full engagement position the holding position takes and holds.
  • the holding effect of this magnetic axial securing need only be relatively low, so that an operator is readily able to raise without the weight of the changing set, to prepare by the lateral tilting movement, the rotary coupling to disengage.
  • the magnet or counterpart is brought before removal of the changing set via a connecting element with little effort from the holding position to the release position, so that an operator when removing the change set the release position not with manual power needs to produce.
  • the holding position is also produced by inserting the Kongarnitur by pressing the connecting element.
  • a positive and non-positive axial locking is provided, which, however, requires to bring before releasing the rotary coupling the positive axial lock in the release position, and after insertion in the full engaged position of the rotary joint and before re-operation recording again in the holding position convert.
  • This can be done for example with a clamping screw which fixes the rotary coupling in the engaged position, or controlled by an axial rotational movement, radially displaceable, wedge-shaped locking elements, or via a bayonet coupling, which requires a rotational and pulling movement via a corresponding actuator.
  • a form-fitting axial securing can be used preferably when the rotary coupling is used to position an interchangeable set connected only at one end, or a superstructuring interchangeable set which is optionally operated without upper support, for example a gripper cylinder.
  • the magazine or the magazine carrier therefore no longer needs to be raised or lowered over a long vertical path of movement as an interchangeable set, but only over the relatively small depth of engagement between the respective conical peg and the conical sleeve, the relatively acute cone tip angle ensuring a perfect and stable fit so that even lateral forces from the removal of the labels are easily absorbed and a proper relative positioning of the magazine is ensured.
  • the magazine or the magazine carrier can be an interchangeable set having considerable dimensions in the transverse direction, it is expedient if several such connections are provided in the circumferential direction, each with a cone pin and a conical sleeve, so that the magazine is stably supported over a large area.
  • a e.g. axial magnetic safety in the full engagement position is effective, which an operator is able to overcome by a small force during the change, and which assumes its holding position automatically when inserting as soon as the full engagement position is reached.
  • each such easily detachable connections which require only a very small lifting or Aufsetzdoch.
  • the respective upper magazine or upper magazine carrier can be removed and placed on the lower one by way of at least one cone / conical sleeve.
  • each upper magazine is easily lifted, without jeopardizing the connection between underlying magazines, as these by the magnetic axial and the overburden Magazine weight remains in the engaged position.
