Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an applicator for applying labels to goods, with an extendable, provided on the extendable end with an applicator manipulator arm.
  • Labels are used for product labeling and may include, for example, printed product information such as contents, price and manufacturer information or promotional information and the like.
  • Applicators are used to attach the labels to a package of a particular product or to the product itself.
  • the manipulator is adjustable between a transfer position for taking over the respective label from a feeder and an application position for applying the respective label to the respective product.
  • Applicators bring the respective label so for example from a printer who prints the label, or from any other feeder, transport the respective label to the respective product, such as an optionally packaged retail item, and thus label the goods.
  • An applicator which has an applicator head in the form of a resilient cup.
  • the resilient cup can spring-loaded against the extension direction of the manipulator arm when applying a label when placing on a commodity dodge to ensure the smoothest possible touchdown.
  • the spring-loaded retraction can be detected when placing the Applizierkopfs on the goods be so that then the Applizierkopf can be withdrawn from the goods.
  • the spring force of a spring increases, as in the document DE 10 2008 032 019 A1 is disclosed, linear with the spring travel. Since the applicator head retracts from the goods only after a time delay when the application head, which is still in the extension movement at that time, detects the application head may still be in spite of the provision of a receding spring presses with a relatively large force on the respective commodity. This is to be avoided in particular for a product with a foil packaging.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide an applicator of the type mentioned above, which allows reliable application, especially in cases where the Applizierkopf is placed at high speed on the respective product.
  • hook's spring instead of the known from the prior art Hook's spring according to the invention therefore a snap spring element is used.
  • the spring characteristic of such a spring element initially increases monotonically up to a maximum value and then has an adjoining region with a negative spring characteristic curve in which the spring force decreases with increasing spring travel. If the snap spring element is subjected to a force which exceeds the aforementioned maximum value, the abovementioned area is abruptly traversed by the snap spring element.
  • Such snapping snap spring elements are, in the event that also still takes place an automatic snap back, known as a snap-fly spring elements.
  • the snapping of the respective snap spring element can be used to detect the impact of Applizierkopfs on a product, whereupon the extendable end of the manipulator arm and thus the Applizierkopf against the extension direction of the balance can be withdrawn.
  • the braking distance until the reversal of the drive of the extendable end of the manipulator arm, during which the applicator further in the extension direction, i. is moved to the goods, however, is compensated by the above-mentioned negative range of the spring characteristic curve, in particular overcompensated, so that despite the further approach of the Applizierkopfs associated with the braking distance to the goods, the force acting on the product spring force at least does not increase further.
  • the respective snap spring element is thus designed such that it snaps into a snapped-over position or snap-in position when acted upon by a force exceeding a predetermined value and acting counter to the extension direction from a stable basic position, in particular temporarily or temporarily.
  • the snap spring element or elements need not necessarily snap over during operation of the applicator.
  • the operating parameters of the applicator can in principle also be set such that no snapping takes place in normal operation without special occurrences, but snapping over merely represents a safety function, ie. Only in exceptional cases, a snap takes place, in particular when the Applizierkopf unexpectedly on an obstacle located in front of the respective product, for example, a hand of an operator meets.
  • the snapped position may be a stable position or an unstable position.
  • the respective snap spring element can therefore be designed as a bistable snap spring element or as a monostable snap spring element.
  • a bistable snap-spring element is designed such that it only snaps back from its snapped-over position to the starting position when it is acted upon by a force which acts in the extension direction and exceeds a predetermined value.
  • a monostable snap spring element is designed so that it, when a restoring force of the snap spring element in the umgeschnappten position is greater than acting counter to the extension direction acting force, automatically snaps back from the umgeschnappten position in the basic position.
  • the applicator is designed such that the snap-back of the respective snap spring element takes place from a stable, snapped position into a stable basic position by retracting the applicator head against a stop provided on the manipulating arm.
  • the snap back of the respective Snap spring element or the resetting of the respective snap spring element can be achieved in the basic position in a simple manner.
  • the respective snap spring element is formed as a curved in a stable basic position in the extension of the manipulator arm, in particular arcuately stretched, leaf spring.
  • a snap function is particularly well realized.
  • such springs are simple and inexpensive to produce.
  • the respective leaf spring is elongated or strip-shaped.
  • the respective snap spring element can be mounted with its two ends on the manipulator arm. In principle, however, it is also possible that the one or more snap spring elements are mounted with the respective two ends on the Applizierkopf.
  • the manipulator arm at its extendable end a support platform, in particular with a receiving space, for the at least one snap spring element.
  • the carrier platform may comprise a bottom section and two side sections projecting from the bottom section in the extension direction and projecting, in particular extensions, between which the respective snap spring element is mounted.
  • the at least one snap spring element in particular in the umgeschnappten position, are added. Through the receiving space ensures that there is enough space for the snap-back and snap of the snap spring elements or is available.
  • the respective snap spring element can then engage with its two ends in corresponding recesses or recesses of the two side sections loosely and / or captively.
  • the respective snap spring element can therefore be held without friction or frictional connection and without further connecting elements.
  • the recesses are formed in particular on the inner sides of the two side sections.
  • the respective side section can be divided at the level of the at least one recess along a dividing line into two parts which are detachably fixedly connected to one another. This allows the snap spring element (s) to be inserted into the recesses without excessive deformation, and only after that the two respective parts are connected together.
  • the respective snap spring element may be mounted floating at its two ends in the extension direction.
  • a floating bearing can be achieved for example by the aforementioned loose engagement of the two ends of the respective Schappfederelements in the corresponding recesses of the two side sections.
  • the two ends of the respective snap spring element are preferably fixed.
  • the life of the respective snap spring element can be increased by the floating bearing. Under a floating bearing is also the case to understand that the two ends of the respective snap spring element in the respective position, ie in the starting position and in the umgeschnappten position, immovable, but due to the snap or snap back but a movement takes place.
  • a particular floating bearing of the respective snap spring element may at both ends of the respective snap spring element, in particular within the aforementioned recesses, extending in the extension direction guide elements, in particular pins, which act on both sides in particular as a lateral stop for the two ends of the respective snap spring element and / or against which the respective snap spring element is supported in the lateral direction.
  • the respective snap spring element is then arranged between, with respect to the respective snap spring element, opposing guide elements, in particular clamped.
  • the respective snap spring element is held between two crossheads or cross connectors firmly connected to the applicator head.
  • the two traverses are arranged parallel to one another and / or on the side of the applicator head opposite to an applicator plate and spaced therefrom.
  • two in particular identical snap spring elements are provided, which are arranged in particular parallel to each other. This is particularly advantageous if the snap spring elements are designed as leaf springs.
  • the respective snap spring element can be reversibly exchangeable.
  • the applicator can be adapted to the respective product to be labeled.
  • snap spring elements having small spring stiffnesses, flat spring characteristics, and / or comparatively small maximum spring force values at which the snap spring elements snap over may be employed.
  • snap spring elements with greater spring hardness or spring stiffness, steeper spring characteristics and / or comparatively large maximum values can be used.
  • a positive guidance is provided, which is designed to prevent tilting of the applicator head relative to the extension direction in a stable basic position and / or during an extension and / or retraction of the applicator head. This allows a high positioning accuracy of the labels can be achieved on the goods. In particular, tilting of the applicator head can also be prevented if the applicator head encounters a product, i. the goods oppose the Applizierkopf a resistance.
  • the positive guide may comprise at least one rod which engages in a respective counter-shaped opening or rod receptacle.
  • a Umschnapperkennungs is provided to detect a snapping the snap spring element, in particular from a stable basic position.
  • the applicator is designed, upon detection of a snap-on, the extendable end of the manipulator arm and thus the Applizierkopf against the extension direction withdraw.
  • the Umschnapperkennungs may be, for example, a Hall sensor or a switch.
  • the extendable end of the applicator can be moved, for example, by means of a spindle drive or a pneumatic cylinder.
  • means may be provided to rotate the applicator head about the longitudinal axis of the manipulator arm.
  • This end of the manipulator arm 13 is axially, ie along the longitudinal extension of the manipulator arm 13, and telescopically extended and retracted.
  • the extension direction 17 of the manipulator arm 13 thus corresponds to the direction of the longitudinal extension of the manipulator arm 13.
  • the manipulator arm 13 is formed as a spindle drive comprising an unrecognizable threaded rod, at the free end of the Applizierkopf 15 is attached and which is drivable by a motor 23 via a belt transmission, in particular a toothed belt transmission, of which only the two pulleys 19 and 21 are shown.
