Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling unit according to the preamble of claim 1 and a corresponding method for applying labels of different lengths to containers, in particular bottles.
  • Labeling units for applying labels are already known from the prior art.
  • the wrap-around labeling apparatus comprises, in addition to the label rolls and a label feed, a cutting device, a gripping cylinder and devices for applying glue.
  • the cutting device consists of a rotating vacuum roller and a rotating separator having at least one cutting blade.
  • the DE 10 2007 009 484 A1 shows a labeling and a labeling for corresponding container, in which case the cutting device comprises a vacuum cylinder with a plurality of counter knives and a knife carrier with a cutting blade, wherein the vacuum cylinder and the knife carrier form a cutting gap.
  • the US 5 413 651 A1 further shows separately controllable counter cutting rollers, vacuum drums and label feeders. These can be driven by servomotors and the motion profile can be changed.
  • a labeling unit according to the preamble of claim 1 and a corresponding method for applying labels of different lengths to containers are known from the US 5,380,381 known.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a labeling unit for applying labels of different lengths to containers, especially bottles, with a reliable and flexible application of labels is guaranteed even with different label lengths.
  • the invention is characterized in that distributed on the circumference of the vacuum cylinder surveys are provided and the control can be carried out by the control unit such that an overlap of handed over to the vacuum cylinder label at a front elevation is equal to the overlap at a rear elevation. Due to the independent control of the counter-cutting roller and the vacuum cylinder, an adaptation of the labeling, in particular the cutting of the labels and the transfer to the vacuum cylinder, depending on the label length can be achieved. Thus, a tailor-made transfer of cut labels despite different label length in each case possible and a good gluing result of the labels can be achieved.
  • the differences in length relate to tolerances of the label length, which are in the range of millimeters. These can occur in particular when changing from a used-up to a new label roll, which was printed slightly differently. In particular, tolerances also occur when roll material from different manufacturers is used.
  • the two motors are servomotors.
  • servomotors can be known to be speed or position controlled, this embodiment, in conjunction with the control unit, allows for easy incorporation into previous labeling devices.
  • another third motor is provided for the operation of the separator.
  • the decoupling of the separating element from the counter-cutting roller enables a further increase in the flexibility of the labeling unit with respect to different label lengths.
  • control unit has an interface with which the label length can be specified.
  • the label length can be specified.
  • sensors are predetermined, which determine the label length and can pass to the control unit. This eliminates input from a user and avoids a source of error. Furthermore, the labeling unit can be reliably and quickly adjusted to new label lengths even when using short batches of labels.
  • the leading edge of the label on which a glue application is to take place is positioned exactly on a survey on the circumference of the vacuum cylinder. Due to the subsequent application of glue precisely in the desired range, the leading edge of the label can be optimally adhesively attached to the object to be labeled, so that a secure transfer of the label to the object to be labeled is ensured.
  • a method for applying labels of different lengths to containers, in particular bottles can be realized, wherein the counter-cutting roller and the vacuum cylinder are driven by a respective motor and a control of the motors by a control unit independently, for example, depending on the Label length is done.
  • the method is characterized in that the separating element is driven by a third motor. This allows a more flexible use of the labeling device.
  • the label length is specified via an interface of the control unit. This allows the end user to control the labeling process and transfer relevant data as the label lengths change to the device.
  • the label length is automatically determined by sensors and transferred to the control unit. This allows, without the intervention of the end user, a fully automated and independent control of the labeling process, which is particularly advantageous when using frequently changing label lengths.
  • Fig. 1 shows a possible embodiment of the inventive device for applying labels 100.
  • the device 100 comprises at least one counter-cutting roller 101 and a separating element 103. These are, as known from the prior art, positioned so that by their movement cutting the labels predetermined places is made possible.
  • the device 100 comprises a vacuum cylinder 102, which can take over the cut labels from the counter-cutting roller 101.
  • the includes Device 100 optionally supply means 104, with which labels in uncut form, for example of label rolls, the system of separating element and counter-cutting roller can be supplied.
  • the device comprises means 106 for applying glue and means 105 for the subsequent application of the label to a container to be labeled.
  • this part of the device is preferably mounted so that the labels located on the vacuum cylinder can first be provided with glue and then applied to the container.
  • the device further comprises a control unit 140 and the motors 110, 120 and optionally 130. These can be controlled by the control unit 140 and allow independent control of the separating element 103 of the counter-cutting roller 101 and the vacuum cylinder 102.
  • the control unit 140 and the motors 110, 120, 130 are preferably arranged in a small distance from the separating element 103, the counter-cutting roller 101 and the vacuum cylinder 102 as compared with the overall dimensions of the device.
  • the containers to be labeled are transported past the device 100 on a conveyor.
  • the conveying means may be a linear conveyor belt or a turntable, in particular a continuous, rotating turntable, on the circumference of which a plurality of receptacles for the containers are provided at equal intervals.
  • a receptacle comprises a turntable on which the container is positioned in particular standing and with which the container can be rotated about its axis, in particular when unwinding the label on it.
  • a clamping of the container can be provided from above at each recording.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic oblique view of the counter-cutting roller 201 and the vacuum cylinder 202.
  • the servomotors 210 and 220 and the control unit 240 are preferably in the immediate vicinity of the vacuum cylinder 202 and the counter-cutting roller 201.
  • a cut label 280 on the counter-cutting roller 201 is here passed to the vacuum cylinder 202 at a suitable location.
  • the vacuum cylinder 202 has vacuum elements 290. It is further provided that the vacuum cylinder 202 has elevations 295 at the beginning and end of the accepted label 281, which allow a better application of glue while passing the label 281 on a glue roller.
  • the vacuum elements 290 are arranged to first remove a label 281 at least at the beginning and at the end of the label, preferably along the entire length of the label 281, from the counter-cutting roller 201 by applying a vacuum and then firmly holding the vacuum cylinder 202.
  • the attachment of the label 281 takes place by the vacuum elements 290 according to the invention so that the label with respect to the elevations 295 is always arranged symmetrically. This means that the overlap of the cut label 281 on the vacuum cylinder 202 with the front and the rear elevations 295 is in each case the same size.
  • front (first) survey and “rear survey” refer to the time at which the transfer of the label takes place to the corresponding elevations and are thus associated with the direction of rotation of the vacuum cylinder 202. The latter was used here for the vacuum cylinder 202 set counterclockwise.
  • the first bumps 295 is the one that passes the gripping cylinder 201 first while the machine is running.
  • FIG. 11 shows an implementation of the control of the different servomotors of the counter cutting roller 301 and the vacuum cylinder 302 Fig. 3a the control of the vacuum cylinder 302 in a label 380, which has a shorter length than a normal label shown.
  • a "normal label” means any standard label length specified by the end user.
  • the control unit 340 controls the servo motor 320 of the vacuum cylinder 302, and optionally also the servo motor 310 of the counter cutting roller 301, so that the transfer position on the vacuum cylinder 302 is changed.
  • the control unit 340 controls the servo motor 320 of the vacuum cylinder 302, and optionally also the servo motor 310 of the counter cutting roller 301, so that the transfer position on the vacuum cylinder 302 is changed.
  • the control takes place by the control unit 340 so that the vacuum cylinder 302 is displaced in its standard position using a label of standard length as shown in the figure, counterclockwise, ie in the running direction.
  • the overlap of the label 380 can be set with the rear elevations 395 of the control unit 340 so that the support surface exactly corresponds to the area on the first elevation 395, so it is also smaller than the support surface of a label with standard length.
  • a control of the counter-cutter roller 301 and the vacuum cylinder 302 by the control unit 340 in the case of a label 380 having a length which is longer than the standard length of a label is shown.
  • the vacuum cylinder 302 is in this case clockwise, ie counter to its direction, moved .
  • the control unit 340 controls the servomotor 320 such that the overlap of the label 380 having a length longer than the standard length at the first protrusions 395 is larger than that of a standard-length label.
  • the greater length of the label in conjunction with the displacement of the rear elevations 395 relative to the starting position 395 ' is controlled by the control unit 340 so that the overlap of the end of the label 380 with the rear elevations 395 takes place so that the support surface is equal to the support surface of the Label on the first elevations 395 is.
  • a symmetrical bearing surface at the beginning of the label and at the end of the label on the vacuum cylinder 302 is achieved.
  • the thus performed control of the vacuum cylinder 302 may, as mentioned, also be applied to a control of the counter-cutting roller 301 and then optionally of the separating elements. So it is not necessary that only the vacuum cylinder 302 is adjusted, but it can be adjusted in combination with the counter-cutting roller 301. Likewise, since the motors 310 and 320 can be controlled completely independently of one another, the vacuum cylinder 302 may also remain undisturbed, whereas the relative position of the counter-cutter roller 301 with respect to the vacuum cylinder 302 is varied by the control unit 340. Any desired gradations of the control of the counter-cutting roller 301 and the vacuum cylinder 302 are conceivable.
  • control of the positioning of these components of the device to each other by the control unit 340 with suitable use of sensors can be matched at any time directly to the length of each label.
  • a sensor could be mounted in front of the separating element, which makes a length measurement for each label, for example by labels attached to the labels.
  • the signal can be transmitted to the control unit 340, which in turn controls the counter-cutting roller 301 and the vacuum cylinder 302 and thus can ensure a tailor-made transfer for each label.
  • the control by the control unit 140 in particular used for fine adjustment. This is especially important when labels from different manufacturers or different production batches are used, some of which differ only slightly in their length. According to the comments to Fig.
  • one of the labels can be selected by the end user and its length can be set as a standard label and using a new batch with a different label length an adjustment of the vacuum cylinder 302 can be controlled by pressing a button for the entire batch. Should a fine adjustment be required on each label, as these differ slightly due to variations in production, the control of the vacuum cylinder 302 may also be repeated on each label as described above, in which case the standard length of a label preferably exceeds an expected label length can be defined, for example, is specified by the manufacturer.
