Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling machine for labeling containers such as bottles.
  • Labeling machines are known in the art in a variety of designs. They usually comprise a label carousel, on whose periphery one or more labeling units are adjustable, depending on which labels are to be applied to the revolving bottles in the carousel.
  • the label transfer from the label magazines on the labeling units to the bottles on the carousel is usually carried out with gripper cylinders, which remove the labels from the stack and transferred to the bottles. Since all parts of the machine rotate quickly, but on the other hand, an exact transfer and attachment of the labels is essential, the parts, especially the gripper cylinder, because of the required synchronization relatively heavy. The high weight therefore causes the replacement of the operator is associated with a high expenditure of force. Although it could be tried to reduce the weight of the parts to be replaced, but this is only possible to a certain extent in view of the economy and practicality of the device.
  • the WO 97/10953 discloses a labeling machine according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein heavy parts can be transported by means of a crane.
  • the device disclosed in this document lacks variability and flexibility in terms of use in transporting machine parts arranged on the labeling machine.
  • the object of the invention is to specify a labeling machine in which parts, in particular the heavy parts, can be exchanged more easily.
  • a labeling machine according to claim 1.
  • a measure is proposed, which allows an operator to attach, for example, the gripper cylinder or other parts to be replaced to the lifting device and then power assisted by the lifting device to easily perform the exchange or Abmontiervorgang.
  • the labeling machine itself in particular the carousel, serves as a counterweight and allows the stable use of the lifting device without tipping.
  • the lifting device is arranged in a central position on the upper side of the labeling machine. Thus, potentially any point on the periphery of the labeling machine can be achieved.
  • the labeling machine is characterized in that a first pivot of the lifting device is arranged on the central axis of the label carousel. This permits rotation of the lifting device about a vertical axis along the periphery of the labeling machine and facilitates picking up and transport of objects to be conveyed in the immediate vicinity of the labeling machine.
  • the lifting device comprises a first arm which is connected to the first pivot.
  • this first arm passes into a second arm, which is connected via a second pivot to the first arm.
  • the first rotary joint and / or the second rotary joint are rotatably mounted at an angle of 45 °, or 90 °, or 180 ° or 360 °.
  • the rotatable joints can be adjusted so that at least this action area is covered. But also a full rotation of the joints can be advantageous.
  • the lifting device is provided as a manipulator, which can support the lifting of objects.
  • at least one holder is provided which fixes the lifting device to the labeling machine.
  • the holder can be advantageously connected to a machine protection height adjustable rails.
  • an adjustment of the vertical orientation of the lifting device for example, according to the vertical dimensions of carried objects.
  • the lifting device comprises one, preferably a plurality of lifting members.
  • a transport of different objects can be done.
  • At least one of the lifting organs comprises a hook.
  • Hooks provide a technically simple, but safe way to hang on an object to be excavated, especially if this includes, for example, a corresponding slidable eyelet.
  • an eyelet is provided on the gripper cylinder on its upper side, on which the lifting member of the lifting device can be attached.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a labeling machine 100 according to the invention.
  • This comprises a label carousel 101, labeling units 105 and 105 ', which are arranged on the periphery of the label carousel 101 and on which gripper cylinder 108 are arranged interchangeably.
  • a lifting device 102 is provided.
  • the lifting device 102 is fastened to the labeling machine 100 or the label carousel 101 via a holder 104.
  • the lifting device 102 comprises a boom or a first arm 111, which has at least one joint 106, so that it can be rotatably moved along the periphery of the label carousel 101 about a vertical axis V.
  • this joint 106 is attached to the holder 104 and has a pivot bearing, in which the first arm 111 is mounted. Further, the first arm 111 may have another rotatable hinge 103 to which, as in Fig. 1 represented, a second arm 112 connects. This is preferably in a plane parallel to the first arm 111, but arranged lower than the first arm 111.
  • This second arm 112 can be moved by the rotatable joint 103 not only by the first arm around the label carousel 101 or its periphery, but creates a larger radius of action, which allows, for example, given a position of the first arm 111 objects within a Circular or circular segments (depending on whether the rotatable joint 103 is designed for a full rotation) are to record, store or move.
  • the lifting device 102 also has at least one lifting member 107, with which objects in the vicinity of the labeling machine 100 can be moved.
  • the lifting member 107 may be, for example, a motor winch on which a hook may be attached, or be equipped with pneumatic means or levers. Also combinations of these are conceivable.
  • the objects may be, for example, gripper cylinders.
  • the lifting device 102 facilitates the replacement of these gripper cylinder considerably.
  • the lifting device 102 is designed as a manipulator.
  • this is a counterbalancing system that balances, for example with one or more pneumatic cylinders, the dead weight of the lifting device for the load and the weight of the loaded load by a counterpressure, thereby placing the load in a hovering state, since its weight force is compensated.
  • only a part of the weight force is compensated in general, but preferably the entire weight of the load is compensated.
  • the rotatable joint 103 and the joint 106 are preferably formed as a ball pivot connections.
  • other embodiments are also conceivable, in particular with the aid of special single-row ball slewing rings, as well as cross-roller slewing rings.
  • double-row ball slewing and combination rotary joints of rollers and ball are conceivable.
  • the labeling machine 100 further comprises a control unit, not shown, to control the lifting device 102.
  • a control unit not shown, to control the lifting device 102.
  • the controller with the help of either a wireless or via a direct cable connection to the lifting device 102 or a corresponding control unit connected remote control (see Fig. 4 ).
  • the remote control can be formed directly on the lifting member 107 or attached to the second arm 112 at a height which is easily accessible to an operator (for example, 1.50 m above the ground). An attachment of the remote control to the labeling machine 100 itself can also be provided.
  • the illustrated attachment of the lifting device 102, centrally on the upper side of the label carousel 101 allows rotation through 360 °.
  • attachment either parallel to the central axis V of the label carousel 101 or the labeling machine 100 can take place at a certain distance from this axis (relative to the rotational axis of the joint 106).
  • An attachment to a side wall of the labeling machine 100 could also be provided.
  • the objects to be lifted are located at the periphery of the labeling machine 100, positioning of the lifting device 102 on the center axis of the labeling machine 100 may be preferred if the distance of the articles to be transported from this central axis and thus from the pivot point of the lifting device 102 is the same or only in a certain range is changed, which can be achieved with rotation of the second arm 112.
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section of the attachment of the lifting device 102 to the labeling machine.
  • this attachment takes place with the aid of a holder 104, which is fastened, for example in the illustrated ring shape to extensions 241, which in turn can be attached to the machine guard 242, to the labeling machine.
  • the bracket 104 may further include the pivot 106 on which the elevator 102 is mounted so that the elevator 102 can be pivoted about the resulting axis. In this case, a complete rotation (by 360 °) is preferred. Depending on the intended use of the lifting device 102, however, it may also be rotatable by only 270 °, 180 ° or 90 ° or even only 45 °.
  • the extensions 241 of the machine guard 242 may have additional hinges or rails 243 and may be configured to be movable in the vertical direction. This also allows a vertical change in the position of the lifting device 102, for example, to move gripper cylinder with different lengths.
  • the adjustment of the height or, more generally, the distance of the holder 104 from the machine guard 242 is preferably also by means of a control unit via a remote control connected either wirelessly or with direct cable connection controlled. It can also be a horizontal change in position with corresponding rails, which may be provided at the upper end of the labeling machine.
  • the rotation of the rotary joint 106 is preferably carried out by means of an electronic control. However, it may also be advantageous to perform the alignment of the lifting device 102 via a handlebar. Although this does not allow in most cases a very precise orientation of the lifting device 102, but can be used for coarse positioning on the object to be transported or on the intended end position of the object. This is particularly advantageous if another rotary joint for fine adjustment or a corresponding second arm is provided.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of the sequence of movement of the lifting device 102 when an object 350 is to be brought from its initial position 320 in its end position 330.
  • this may be a gripper cylinder to be replaced.
  • it is moved from its initial position 320, in which it is arranged on the labeling machine 100 so that it can perform the corresponding function, in the end position 330.
  • his starting position 320 he is like in Fig. 3 shown arranged at a relatively short distance to the labeling machine 100.
  • the gripper cylinder 350 is received by means of the lifting member which is attached to the lifting device 102.
  • first arm 111 can be moved only in a circular arc about the pivot point of the pivot joint 106, it may be necessary to insert the second arm 112, on which the lifting member is arranged, with appropriate positioning of the lifting device 102 in the region of the initial position 320 Allow positioning of the lifting member over the gripper cylinder so that it can be lifted in the vertical direction as possible to prevent slipping in the initial position 320.
  • the lifting device 102 can be pivoted, as indicated by the arrow, in order to be moved into the area of the intended end position 330.
  • the intended end position 330 does not lie on the same great circle as defined by the center of the pivot 106 and the start position 320.
  • a carriage or other means of transport may be provided for removing the gripper cylinder at the end position 330, but positioned at a greater distance from the labeling machine 100 than at the initial position 320 of the gripper cylinder 350.
  • the lifting device 102 and in particular the first arm 111, to which the second arm 112 is fixed via the hinge 103, can be brought into a position which as close to the end position 330 is.
  • a further pivoting of the entire lifting device 102 and / or of the second arm 112 can be used so that the most accurate positioning of the gripper cylinder 350 'above or at the end position 330 is made possible.
  • FIG. 12 shows a possible embodiment of the connection 440 between the lifting device by means of the lifting member 107 and an object 450 to be conveyed, here illustrated by a gripper cylinder 450.
  • the connection 440 here consists of a lifting device side hook in the form of a carabiner 441 and a corresponding counterpart in the form of an attached to the top of the gripper cylinder eyelet 442.
  • eyelet 442 and hooks 441 To allow the most accurate positioning of eyelet 442 and hooks 441, the 442 eyelet on a relative to the gripper cylinder 450 slidable carriage be arranged.
  • this eyelet 442 can be moved in a small range (for example, 5 cm or 10 cm) in order to transmit a preferably vertical upward pulling force of the lifting device on the gripper cylinder 450, which can be avoided, for example tilting of the gripper cylinder 450 with surrounding components.
  • the lifting member 107 may be advantageous to make the lifting member 107 interchangeable and / or already provide several attached to the lifting device lifting organs in the form of a Hebeorganmagazins, for example, is attached to the second arm and corresponding to the required lifting member 107 in Position can be brought over the object to be transported.
  • an embodiment of the lifting member 107 with a permanent or electromagnet instead of the illustrated hook 441 be.
  • objects to be conveyed, in particular the gripper cylinders are equipped with a further corresponding magnet.
