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 is permanently coupled at the lower end via a universal joint with the rotatably mounted in the hub drive shaft.
  • the upper end of the pallet shaft is centered on a ball latch in a support when the pallet shaft is in operation.
  • the ball lock is released and the pallet shaft is pivoted to the side about the hinge axis of the universal joint.
  • the four-edged lower end of the pallet shaft must be pulled upwards from an axial square blind bore of a bushing of the universal joint. The change makes it necessary to lift and lower the possibly heavy weight of the pallet shaft vertically.
  • each pallet shaft must be pulled out after dismantling or swinging away an upper support vertically upwards from a coupling sleeve of an underlying Triebstock and laterally lifted. Even the bottom driven glue cylinder can only be lifted upwards.
  • the gripper cylinder which is rotatable about a vertical stationary pivot bearing, which extends because of the need to possibly label in several floors, far up, and therefore must be raised and lowered very far vertically.
  • 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 is properly positioned remains.
  • WO 99/41513 A is a part of a machine known in which two coaxial shafts are coupled via a Hirth coupling with front sprockets.
  • the serrations are designed asymmetrically with respect to tooth flank angles in order to minimize axial separation forces during torque transmission.
  • each pallet shaft is inserted into a plug-in coupling part.
  • the upper support is released and rotated, so that the pallet shaft can be pulled out of the plug-in coupling substantially vertically upwards.
  • the insertion of a new pallet shaft requires a precisely guided lowering movement. Changing operations are cumbersome due to the relatively high weight of the pallet shafts and involve an acute danger of damaging colliding parts when the plug-in coupling is disengaged or engaged.
  • Out GB 2 431 704 A is known from two coupling halves Hirth coupling for an impeller or a turbine known.
  • the coupling halves are manufactured and installed separately from a driving shaft and the driven impeller or the turbine in case of damage to be able to exchange only the respective defective component, and not an entire component group.
  • Out DE 31 21 694 A1 Couplings are known with flat coupling surfaces that carry parallel teeth and thus tolerate parallel displacements between coupled waves. Further prior art can be found in DE 10 2004 054 057 A1 . EP 1 939 095 A1 . DE 10 2007 054 729 A1 . DE 40 42 100 A1 .
  • 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.
  • the stated object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
  • connection of the at least one change set with the associated support is designed so that the connection by a substantially largely horizontal and lateral relative movement of the change set over 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 Hirth 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 Hirth clutch has been known for decades as an easily detachable, torque transmitting clutch from many fields of engineering.
  • 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 Komgarnitur can be transferred with the tilting movement equal to a prepared supporting surface and then transported away without the operator has to carry or lift the total weight.
  • a particularly important aspect of the Hirth coupling is that, in addition to its easy tilting separability and compressibility, it can be designed as a centering device between the shafts to be coupled, so that shafts to be coupled with each other are properly centered relative to each other merely by establishing the full engaged position , 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 Hirth coupling solely on the tilting engagement movement a significant advantage that does not require raising or lowering a heavy Komgarnitur.

  • the torque motor drives the hub on the driving stick and on the driving stick, the pallet shafts in the hub, which, as is well known, in operation can also be individually switched off.
  • This design with the direct drive motor saves considerable height in the area of the drive block, avoids a gear drive configuration, and therefore allows easy pre-assembly and functional testing of the functional unit of the transfer module.
  • the structure of the transfer module can be made simple and inexpensive, especially due to the omission of a cast gear housing construction, when the hub is stored in the center area without engagement in the region of its outer periphery via a bearing ring free four-point moment bearing element in the support structure.
  • the support structure for rotatably supporting the hub and for mounting the direct drive motor may be a simple steel plate.
