Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Etikettiermaschine mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1 und ein Verfahren für eine Etikettiermaschine mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 11.The invention relates to a labeling machine with the features of the preamble of claim 1 and a method for a labeling machine with the features of the preamble of claim 11.

Gattungsgemäße Etikettiermaschinen und Etikettierverfahren sind aus der WO 2011/154980 A1 und WO 2012/019824 A1 bekannt. Eine Etikettiermaschine ist aus der DE 10 2004 054057 A1 bekannt. Die bekannte Etikettiermaschine enthält eine Fördereinrichtung in Form eines Rundläufers oder Karussells, an dessen Umfang mehrere Aggregataufnahmen angeordnet sind. An einer solchen Aggregataufnahme kann ein Untergestell mit einem darauf angeordneten Etikettieraggregat angedockt werden, wobei zur genauen Positionierung des Etikettieraggregats gegenüber dem Karussell das Untergestell beispielsweise in Zentrierkegel einrastet. Hierdurch können die Etikettieraggregate besonders einfach gewechselt werden und beim Andocken genau gegenüber dem Karussell und den Gefäßen positioniert werden. Bei der bekannten Etikettiermaschine ragt das angedockte Etikettieraggregat bis in einen Förderbereich des Karussells hinein und ettikettiert dort die Gefäße. Beim Wechsel des Gefäßtyps kann zunächst das Etikettieraggregat mit dem Untergestell aus der Aggregataufnahme herausgehoben werden und dann ein weiteres Etikettieraggregat mit einem anderen Etikettentyp an die Etikettiermaschine angedockt werden. Darüber hinaus ist aus der EP 0241765 A1 eine Etikettiermaschine bekannt, bei der das Etikettieraggregat für eine Einstellbewegung auf einem Kreuztisch gelagert ist. Ein solcher Kreuztisch enthält einen Unter- und einen Oberschlitten, wobei der Oberschlitten das Etikettieraggregat trägt und über eine Gleitführung mit dem Untergestell verbunden ist. Mit Hilfe eines Schwenkhebels, der manuell bedienbar ist, kann damit das Etikettieraggregat gegenüber der Fördereinrichtung justiert werden.Generic labeling and labeling are from the WO 2011/154980 A1 and WO 2012/019824 A1 known. A labeling machine is out of the DE 10 2004 054057 A1 known. The known labeling machine includes a conveyor in the form of a rotary or carousel, on the circumference of several aggregate recordings are arranged. At such an aggregate receiving a base frame can be docked with a labeling unit arranged thereon, wherein for precise positioning of the labeling unit relative to the carousel, the base engages, for example, in centering cone. As a result, the labeling units are particularly easy to be changed and positioned when docking exactly opposite the carousel and the vessels. In the known labeling machine, the docked labeling unit protrudes into a conveying region of the carousel and seals the vessels there. When changing the type of vessel, first the labeling unit with the subframe can be lifted out of the unit holder and then another labeling unit with another type of label can be docked to the labeling machine. In addition, from the EP 0241765 A1 a labeling machine known in which the labeling is stored for a setting movement on a cross table. Such a cross table includes a lower and a top slide, the upper slide carries the labeling and is connected via a sliding guide with the base. With the help of a pivot lever, which is manually operated, so that the labeling can be adjusted relative to the conveyor.

Darüber hinaus ist aus der DE 10 2008 038144 A1 bekannt, dass der Schwenkhebel mittels eines pneumatischen Antriebs bewegt werden kann, um das Etikettieraggregat sofort zurückzuziehen, sobald eine Störung im Betriebsablauf bemerkt wird. Hierdurch kann das Etikettieraggregat aus einem unmittelbaren Kollisionsbereich mit den Gefäßen oder dem Karussell herausgefahren werden.In addition, from the DE 10 2008 038144 A1 It is known that the pivoting lever can be moved by means of a pneumatic drive in order to immediately withdraw the labeling unit as soon as a malfunction in the operating procedure is noticed. As a result, the labeling can be moved out of an immediate collision area with the vessels or the carousel.

Bei derartigen Etikettiermaschinen kann während der Wartung eines angedockten Etikettieraggregats die Etikettierung durch ein zusätzliches Etikettieraggregat fortgesetzt werden. Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass der Benutzer bei Wartungsarbeiten an dem stillgelegten Etikettieraggregat durch das sich weiter drehende Karussell erheblich gefährdet ist. Darüber hinaus kann auch das sich drehende Karussell durch Fremdeinwirkung beschädigt werden. Um dies zu vermeiden könnte entweder das stillgelegte Etikettieraggregat zur Wartung abgedockt werden, was entsprechend aufwändig ist, oder das Karussell könnte angehalten werden. Beide Varianten sind entsprechend aufwändig und darüber hinaus wird bei letzterer die Etikettierung unterbrochen.In such labeling machines, the labeling can be continued by an additional labeling during maintenance of a docked labeling. The disadvantage here is that the user is considerably at risk for maintenance work on the disused labeling unit by the further rotating carousel. In addition, the rotating carousel may be damaged by external influences. To avoid this, either the disused labeling unit could be undocked for maintenance, which is done accordingly or the carousel could be stopped. Both variants are correspondingly complex and beyond the labeling is interrupted in the latter.

Dadurch, dass mit der Linearverstellung das Etikettieraggregat aus einer Arbeitsposition in eine Ruheposition verstellbar ist, wird in der Ruheposition ein Zwischenraum zwischen dem Förderbereich des Karussells und dem Etikettieraggregat geschaffen, in den eine an der Etikettiermaschine angebrachte Schutzeinrichtung einfahrbar ist. Dabei muss das Etikettieraggregat nicht vom Karussell abgedockt werden, wie dies beim Stand der Technik der Fall ist, sondern kann auf dem positionierten Untergestell verbleiben. Dadurch, dass die Schutzeinrichtung zwischen dem Etikettieraggregat und dem Förderbereich des Karussells einfahrbar ist, kann ein Benutzer nicht mehr in den Förderbereich des Karussells eingreifen. Hierdurch wird der Benutzer effektiv vor Verletzungen geschützt. Zudem können auch keine Gegenstände von Außen in den Förderbereich des Karussells eindringen, wodurch die Etikettiermaschine und die Gefäße vor Beschädigungen geschützt werden.Characterized in that with the linear adjustment the labeling is adjustable from a working position to a rest position, in the rest position, a gap between the conveying region of the carousel and the labeling is created, in which a mounted on the labeller protective device is retracted. In this case, the labeling unit does not have to be undocked from the carousel, as is the case in the prior art, but may remain on the positioned base frame.

The protection logic may be adapted to enable the operation of the carousel and / or the labeling unit, taking into account a circuit breaker state.

Die Linearverstellung kann einen Laufwagen umfassen, der mit dem Etikettieraggregat verbunden ist. Der Laufwagen kann als Schlittenoberteil auf einer Führung gelagert sein. Mit dem Laufwagen wird die Linearverstellung in besonders einfacher Weise aufgebaut und die Linear-verstellung weist so besonders wenige Teile auf. Durch die Führung des Laufwagens werden die Gewichtskräfte des Etikettieraggregats über den Gehäuserahmen in das Untergestell eingeleitet, wobei der Laufwagen entlang der Führung verschiebbar ist. Die Führung kann in einem Gehäuserahmen aufgenommen sein. Der Gehäuserahmen der Linearverstellung kann mit dem Untergestell verbunden sein.The linear adjustment may comprise a carriage, which is connected to the labeling. The carriage can be mounted as a carriage upper part on a guide. With the carriage, the linear adjustment is constructed in a particularly simple manner and the linear adjustment has so very few parts. By guiding the carriage, the weight forces of the labeling are introduced via the housing frame in the base frame, wherein the carriage along the guide is displaceable. The guide can be accommodated in a housing frame. The housing frame of the linear adjustment can be connected to the base frame.

Der Laufwagen kann mit einer Profilschienenführung gelagert und mit einer Rückzugseinheit verstellbar sein, insbesondere wobei die Rückzugseinheit eine Spindel umfasst, die in eine Gewindebohrung im Laufwagen eingreift. Bei der Ausbildung als Profilschienenführung kann der Laufwagen über Kugeln oder Rollen auf einer Profilschiene gelagert sein. Dadurch sind die Reibungskräfte bei einer Bewegung des Laufwagens besonders klein und die Führung ist besonders präzise. Da ein Etikettieraggregat eine Masse von beispielsweise 500 kg aufweisen kann, wird durch eine Profilschienenführung eine manuelle Verstellung des Etikettieraggregats über die Rückzugseinheit erheblich einfacher. Bei einer Ausführung der Rückzugseinheit mit einer Spindel, die in eine Gewindebohrung im Laufwagen eingreift, ist die Rückzugseinheit besonders einfach ausgeführt. Durch eine Drehung der Spindel wird die lineare Bewegung des Laufwagens der Linearverstellung bewirkt.The carriage can be mounted with a profiled rail guide and adjustable with a retraction unit, in particular wherein the retraction unit comprises a spindle which engages in a threaded bore in the carriage. When training as a profiled rail guide of the Carriage over balls or rollers to be mounted on a rail. As a result, the frictional forces during a movement of the carriage are particularly small and the guide is particularly precise. Since a labeling unit can have a mass of, for example, 500 kg, manual adjustment of the labeling unit via the retraction unit becomes considerably easier by means of a profiled rail guide. In one embodiment of the retraction unit with a spindle which engages in a threaded bore in the carriage, the retraction unit is particularly simple. By a rotation of the spindle, the linear movement of the carriage of the linear adjustment is effected.

Die Linearverstellung kann zur Verstellung ein Handrad umfassen. Das Handrad kann zur Verstellung drehbar sein. Dadurch ist eine einfache Bedienung der Linearverstellung möglich. Das Handrad kann mit der Spindel in der Rückzugseinheit verbunden sein.The linear adjustment may include a handwheel for adjustment. The handwheel can be rotatable for adjustment. As a result, a simple operation of the linear adjustment is possible. The handwheel can be connected to the spindle in the retraction unit.

Die Linearverstellung kann zur Verstellung einen Elektromotor umfassen. Hierdurch wird eine elektrisch gesteuerte Verstellung der Linearverstellung ermöglicht. Beispielsweise kann die Linearverstellung mit dem Elektromotor so angesteuert werden, dass bei einer Deaktivierung des Etikettieraggregats die Linearverstellung von der Arbeitsposition in die Ruheposition verfahren wird. Hierdurch ist eine automatische Verstellung der Linearverstellung mittels einer Maschinensteuerung möglich.The linear adjustment may include an electric motor for adjustment. As a result, an electrically controlled adjustment of the linear adjustment is possible. For example, the linear adjustment can be controlled with the electric motor so that when a deactivation of the labeling unit, the linear adjustment is moved from the working position to the rest position. As a result, an automatic adjustment of the linear adjustment by means of a machine control is possible.

Die Linearverstellung kann wenigstens einen Endschalter und/oder einen Drehgeber umfassen. Dadurch kann eine Maschinensteuerung die Position der Linearverstellung erfassen. Ein Endschalter kann derart angeordnet sein, dass er in der Arbeitsposition geschaltet wird. Ein anderer Endschalter kann in einer Position angeordnet sein, dass er in der Ruheposition geschaltet wird. Die Endschalter können in dem Rahmengehäuse so angeordnet sein, dass sie vom Laufwagen betätigt werden. Der Drehgeber kann auf der Motorachse oder der Spindel angeordnet sein. Durch den Drehgeber ist eine noch genauere Positionierung der Linearverstellung möglich, da auch Zwischenpositionen genauer erfasst werden können.The linear adjustment may include at least one limit switch and / or a rotary encoder. This allows a machine control to detect the position of the linear adjustment. A limit switch can be arranged so that it is switched in the working position. Another limit switch may be arranged in a position to be switched in the rest position. The limit switches can be arranged in the frame housing so that they are actuated by the carriage. The rotary encoder can be arranged on the motor axis or the spindle. The rotary encoder allows an even more accurate positioning of the linear adjustment, since intermediate positions can also be detected more accurately.

Die Etikettiermaschine kann eine Maschinensteuerung zur Ansteuerung des Karussells und der Linearverstellung umfassen, wobei die Maschinensteuerung zur Ansteuerung des Elektromotors derart ausgebildet ist, dass das Etikettieraggregat zwischen der Arbeitsposition und der Ruheposition verstellbar ist. Hierdurch ist eine Steuerung der Linearverstellung in Abhängigkeit von einer Benutzereingabe und/oder von Maschinenzuständen möglich. Die Maschinensteuerung kann dazu ausgebildet sein, die Signale des Endschalters und/oder des Drehgebers zu erfassen. Dadurch kann eine Regelschleife aufgebaut werden, wobei die Position der Linear-verstellung mittels des Endschalters und/oder des Drehgebers erfasst wird und die Ströme des Elektromotors zum Erreichen der gewünschten Position geregelt werden können. Hierdurch ist eine besonders präzise Steuerung der Linearverstellung mit der Maschinensteuerung möglich. Die Maschinensteuerung kann die Geschwindigkeit und/oder die Position des Karussells dazu auswerten, um die Position der Linearverstellung zu regeln.The labeling machine may include a machine control for controlling the carousel and the linear adjustment, wherein the machine control for controlling the electric motor is designed such that the labeling between the working position and the rest position is adjustable. As a result, a control of the linear adjustment in response to a user input and / or machine states is possible. The machine control can be designed to detect the signals of the limit switch and / or the rotary encoder. As a result, a control loop can be constructed, wherein the position of the linear adjustment is detected by means of the limit switch and / or the rotary encoder and the currents of the Electric motor to achieve the desired position can be controlled. As a result, a particularly precise control of the linear adjustment with the machine control is possible. The machine controller may evaluate the speed and / or position of the carousel to control the position of the linear adjustment.

Die Linearverstellung kann einen Verriegelungsmechanismus zur Arretierung des Etikettieraggregats gegenüber dem Untergestell umfassen. Dadurch wird die Linearverstellung gegen unbeabsichtigtes Verstellen gesichert. Die Arretierung kann als Klemmmechanismus ausgebildet sein, insbesondere für die Spindel oder die Führung des Laufwagens. Dadurch wird eine besonders einfache Arretierung der Linearverstellung ermöglicht.The linear adjustment may include a locking mechanism for locking the Etikettieraggregats against the base. As a result, the linear adjustment is secured against unintentional adjustment. The lock can be designed as a clamping mechanism, in particular for the spindle or the guide of the carriage. This allows a particularly simple locking of the linear adjustment.

Die Linearverstellung kann quer zur Förderrichtung des Karussells angeordnet sein. Anders ausgedrückt kann so durch die Linearverstellung das Etikettieraggregat quer zur Förderrichtung verstellbar sein. Dadurch sind besonders kurze Verstellwege möglich und die Linearverstellung kann besonders kurz ausgebildet sein.The linear adjustment can be arranged transversely to the conveying direction of the carousel. In other words, by means of the linear adjustment, the labeling unit can be adjusted transversely to the conveying direction. As a result, particularly short adjustment paths are possible and the linear adjustment can be designed to be particularly short.

Die Arbeitsposition des Etikettieraggregats kann mit der Linearverstellung justierbar sein. Hierdurch kann das Etikettieraggregat auf verschiedene Gefäßdurchmesser mit der Linearverstellung einstellbar sein. Beispielsweise kann das Etikettieraggregat mittels der Linearverstellung auf den Gefäßdurchmesser anpassbar sein.The working position of the labeling can be adjusted with the linear adjustment. This allows the labeling can be adjusted to different vessel diameter with the linear adjustment. For example, the labeling unit can be adapted to the vessel diameter by means of the linear adjustment.

Darüber hinaus stellt die Erfindung mit dem Anspruch 11 ein Verfahren für eine Etikettiermaschine bereit, wobei ein Karussell Gefäße fördert und ein Etikettieraggregat über ein Untergestell an der Peripherie des Karussells positioniert wird, um die Gefäße mit Etiketten auszustatten, wobei zwischen dem Etikettieraggregat und dem Untergestell eine Linearverstellung angeordnet ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Etikettieraggregat mit Hilfe der Linearverstellung gegenüber dem am Karussell positionierten Untergestell aus einer Arbeitsposition in eine Ruheposition so weit verstellt wird, dass zwischen einem Förderbereich des Karussells und dem Etikettieraggregat eine an der Etikettiermaschine angebrachte Schutzeinrichtung eingefahren wird.In addition, the invention provides with claim 11 a method for a labeling machine, wherein a carousel conveys vessels and a labeling is positioned via a base on the periphery of the carousel to equip the vessels with labels, wherein between the labeling and the subframe a Linear adjustment is arranged, characterized in that the labeling is adjusted by means of the linear adjustment relative to the carousel positioned underframe from a working position to a rest position so far that between a conveyor region of the carousel and the labeling a mounted on the labeling protective device is retracted.

Dadurch, dass mit der Linearverstellung das Etikettieraggregat gegenüber dem positionierten Untergestell aus einer Arbeitsposition in eine Ruheposition verstellt wird, bildet sich zwischen dem Förderbereich des Karussells und dem Etikettieraggregat in der angedockten Position ein Zwischenraum aus, in den die an der Etikettiermaschine angebrachte Schutzeinrichtung eingefahren werden kann. Dadurch wird der Bereich, in dem das Etikettieraggregat Zugang zu dem Karussell hat, hermetisch abgeschlossen und ein Benutzer kann nicht unabsichtlich in diesen Bereich eingreifen. Dadurch wird ein Benutzer besonders gut vor Verletzungen durch die Maschine geschützt. Darüber hinaus wird auch die Etikettiermaschine vor Fremdeinwirkung geschützt.Due to the fact that with the linear adjustment the labeling unit is moved relative to the positioned underframe from a working position to a rest position, a space is formed between the conveying area of the carousel and the labeling unit in the docked position, into which the protective device attached to the labeling machine can be retracted , This hermetically seals the area in which the labeling unit has access to the carousel and a user can not unintentionally intervene in this area. This will make a user especially good from injuries caused by the machine protected. In addition, the labeling machine is protected from external influences.

Das Verfahren kann insbesondere mit einer zuvor beschriebenen Etikettiermaschine durchgeführt werden. Das Verfahren kann insbesondere in Bezug auf die Etikettiermaschine genannte Merkmale einzeln oder in Kombination umfassen.The method can be carried out in particular with a previously described labeling machine. The method may include features mentioned in particular with regard to the labeling machine individually or in combination.

Die Linearverstellung kann mit einer Maschinensteuerung verstellt werden, insbesondere durch eine Regelschleife, bei der Signale wenigstens eines Endschalters und/oder eines Drehgebers ausgewertet werden. Die Maschinensteuerung kann die Ströme durch einen Elektromotor in der Linearverstellung regeln.The linear adjustment can be adjusted with a machine control, in particular by a control loop in which signals of at least one limit switch and / or a rotary encoder are evaluated. The machine control can regulate the currents through an electric motor in the linear adjustment.

In Fig. 1 ist eine seitliche Ansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Etikettiermaschine 1 zu sehen, wobei das Untergestell 4 mit dem darauf angeordneten Etikettieraggregat 3 nicht an dem Karussell 2 positioniert ist. Zu sehen ist, dass bei der Etikettiermaschine 1 auf einem Karussell 2 Gefäße 5 befördert werden. Zunächst befindet sich die Schutzeinrichtung 7 in einer geschlossenen Position, da eine Etikettierung durch das abgedockte Etikettieraggregat 3 nicht erfolgt.In Fig. 1 is a side view of a labeling machine 1 according to the invention to see, with the base frame 4 is not positioned on the carousel 2 with the labeling unit 3 arranged thereon. It can be seen that in the labeling machine 1 2 vessels 5 are conveyed on a carousel. First, the protection device 7 is in a closed position, since a labeling by the undocked labeling unit 3 does not take place.

Das Karussell 2 umfasst ein Gehäuse 22 zur Unterbringung eines Antriebs, beispielsweise eines Elektromotors. Dieser treibt über ein Getriebe den Karussellteller 21 mit den darauf angeordneten Gefäßaufnahmen 23 an. Die Gefäßaufnahmen 23 können dabei als Drehteller ausgebildet sein, wobei diese während des Etikettiervorgangs verschwenkt werden. Die Drehteller 23 können eigene Antriebe umfassen oder über eine Steuerkurve verschwenkt werden. Auf dem dargestellten Drehteller 23 wird ein Gefäß 5 gehaltert, welches sich so entlang einer umfänglichen Bahn des Karusselltellers 21 bewegt. Der Förderbereich F wird durch die bewegten Teile des Karussells 2 definiert. Der Förderbereich F umfasst also den Karussellteller 21, die Gefäßaufnahmen 23 und die Gefäße 5.The carousel 2 comprises a housing 22 for housing a drive, for example an electric motor. This drives via a transmission the carousel 21 with the arranged thereon Vessel receptacles 23 on. The receptacles 23 may be formed as a turntable, these being pivoted during the labeling process. The turntable 23 may include own drives or be pivoted via a control cam. On the turntable 23 shown, a vessel 5 is supported, which thus moves along a circumferential path of the revolving plate 21. The conveying area F is defined by the moving parts of the carousel 2. The conveying region F thus comprises the revolving dish 21, the receptacles 23 and the vessels 5.

Darüber hinaus ist an dem Karussell 2 die Aggregataufnahme 24 zu sehen, an denen ein Untergestell 4 mit einem Etikettieraggregat 3 so aufgenommen werden kann, dass eine genaue Positionierung des Etikettieraggregats 3 gegenüber den Gefäßen 5 gewährleistet ist (siehe Fig. 3). Die Etikettiermaschine 2 umfasst hier mehrere Aggregataufnahmen 24 entlang der Peripherie P, um weitere Etikettieraggregate 3 an die Etikettiermaschine 1 anzudocken (hier nicht dargestellt).In addition, the unit seat 24 can be seen on the carousel 2, where a base frame 4 with a labeling unit 3 can be accommodated so that an accurate positioning of the labeling unit 3 with respect to the vessels 5 is ensured (see Fig. 3 ). The labeling machine 2 here comprises a plurality of unit receptacles 24 along the periphery P in order to dock further labeling units 3 to the labeling machine 1 (not shown here).

Das Untergestell 4 ist in einem nicht positionierten bzw. nicht angedockten Zustand auf den Rollen 41 gelagert, mit dem es beliebig auf dem Boden 9 verschoben werden kann. Auf der Oberseite des Untergestells 4 ist die Linearverstellung 6 aufgeschraubt, die einen Laufwagen 62 umfasst. Der Laufwagen 62 kann über eine Rückzugseinheit (hier nicht dargestellt) bewegt werden, wobei die Rückzugseinheit über ein Handrad 61 manuell betätigbar ist. Anders ausgedrückt wird durch eine Drehung des Handrads 61 der Laufwagen 62 linear entlang des Doppelpfeils verschoben.The undercarriage 4 is mounted in a non-positioned or not docked state on the rollers 41, with which it can be arbitrarily moved on the floor 9. On the upper side of the undercarriage 4, the linear adjustment 6 is screwed, which includes a carriage 62. The carriage 62 can be moved via a retraction unit (not shown here), the retraction unit being manually operable by means of a handwheel 61. In other words, by a rotation of the handwheel 61, the carriage 62 is linearly displaced along the double arrow.

Der Laufwagen 62 ist selbst als Plattform ausgebildet, wobei darauf das Etikettieraggregat 3 befestigt ist. Das Etikettieraggregat 3 umfasst dabei den Etikettenvorrat 32 und den Etikettiermechanismus 31, mit dem die Etiketten 8 aus dem Etikettenvorrat 32 entnommen und auf einem Gefäß 5 angebracht werden können. In der Fig. 1 ist jedoch das Untergestell 4 nicht an dem Karussell 2 angedockt und somit befindet sich das Etikettieraggregat 3 in einem Ruhezustand.The carriage 62 is itself formed as a platform, on which the labeling unit 3 is attached. The labeling unit 3 comprises the label stock 32 and the labeling mechanism 31, with which the labels 8 can be removed from the label stock 32 and mounted on a vessel 5. In the Fig. 1 However, the undercarriage 4 is not docked to the carousel 2 and thus the labeling unit 3 is in an idle state.

Würde ein Benutzer in den Förderbereich F eingreifen, so besteht die Gefahr, dass er durch die bewegten Teile verletzt wird. Dies wird durch die in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Schutzeinrichtung 7 verhindert:

  • Diese umfasst einen Rahmen 78, eine Schiebetür 72 und die Schutzschalter 73, 76 und 68, wobei der Rahmen 78 am Maschinenschutz 71 im Bereich der Aggregataufnahme 24 angebracht ist. Darüber hinaus ist zum noch besseren Schutz am Etikettieraggregat 3 eine Schutzscheibe 75 angebracht.
If a user intervenes in the conveying area F, there is a risk that he will be injured by the moving parts. This is done by in the Fig. 1 and 2 Protective device 7 shown prevents:
  • This comprises a frame 78, a sliding door 72 and the circuit breakers 73, 76 and 68, wherein the frame 78 is attached to the machine guard 71 in the area of the unit mount 24. In addition, a protective screen 75 is attached to even better protection on the labeling unit 3.

Wie in der Figur 2 zu sehen ist, kann die Schiebetür 72 im Rahmen 78 zwischen einer geschlossenen Position G und einer offenen Position O verfahren werden. Hierzu bedient kann der Benutzer die Schiebetür 72 am Griff 77 nach oben und unten verfahren und mit dem Rastbolzen 74 in der geschlossenen Position G gegen unbeabsichtigtes Verfahren sicheren.Like in the FIG. 2 can be seen, the sliding door 72 in the frame 78 between a closed position G and an open position O are moved. For this purpose, the user can operate the sliding door 72 on the handle 77 up and down and secure with the locking pin 74 in the closed position G against inadvertent procedure.

Die Schutzschalter 73, 76 und 68 sind mit einer Schutzlogik (hier nicht dargestellt) verbunden. Mit dem Türschutzschalter 73 kann die Schutzlogik erfassen, ob sich die Schiebetür 72 in der offenen Position O oder der geschlossenen Position G befindet. Darüber hinaus kann mithilfe des Positionsschutzschalters 76 erfasst werden, ob das Etikettieraggregat 3 positioniert ist. Zusätzlich erfasst ein Arbeitspositionsschutzschalter 68 an der Linearverstellung 6, ob sich das Etikettieraggregat 3 in der Arbeitsposition (siehe Fig. 3) oder in der Ruheposition (siehe Fig. 4) befindet. Die Schutzschalter umfassen beispielsweise einen Magneten 73b und einen Reedkontakt 73a.The circuit breakers 73, 76 and 68 are connected to a protection logic (not shown here). With the door protection switch 73, the protection logic can detect whether the sliding door 72 is in the open position O or the closed position G. In addition, it can be detected by means of the positional protection switch 76, whether the labeling unit 3 is positioned. In addition, detects a working position safety switch 68 on the linear adjustment 6, whether the labeling unit 3 in the working position (see Fig. 3 ) or in the rest position (see Fig. 4 ) is located. The circuit breakers include, for example, a magnet 73b and a reed contact 73a.

Die Funktionsweise der Schutzlogik wird in Bezug auf die Fig. 5 im Detail beschrieben.The operation of the protection logic is related to the Fig. 5 described in detail.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine seitliche Ansicht der Etikettiermaschine 1 aus Fig. 1, wobei das Untergestell 4 an der Peripherie P des Karussells 2 positioniert ist und sich das Etikettieraggregat 3 in einer Arbeitsposition A befindet. Zu sehen ist, dass das Untergestell 4 über den Konus 42 und über den Abstandshalter 43 an der Aggregataufnahme 24 positioniert ist. Dabei umfasst die Aggregataufnahme 24 einen Zentrierkegel 25, der in den Konus 42 des Untergestells 4 eingreift, um eine besonders genaue Positionierung des Untergestells 4 und damit des Etikettieraggregats 3 gegenüber dem Karussell 2 zu erreichen. Darüber hinaus kann so das Untergestell 4 ohne weiteres vom Karussell 2 abgedockt und ohne Justage wieder angedockt werden. Bei einem positionierten Untergestell 4 befinden sich die Rollen 41 frei schwebend über dem Boden 9. Fig. 3 shows a side view of the labeling machine 1 from Fig. 1 , wherein the undercarriage 4 is positioned at the periphery P of the carousel 2 and the labeling unit 3 is in a working position A. It can be seen that the undercarriage 4 is positioned over the cone 42 and the spacer 43 on the unit intake 24. In this case, the unit receptacle 24 comprises a centering cone 25 which engages in the cone 42 of the undercarriage 4 in order to achieve a particularly accurate positioning of the undercarriage 4 and thus of the labeling unit 3 relative to the carousel 2. In addition, so the base 4 can be undosed easily from the carousel 2 and docked without adjustment again. In a positioned undercarriage 4, the rollers 41 are levitating on the floor. 9

Darüber hinaus ist zu sehen, dass sich das Etikettieraggregat 3 in einer Arbeitsposition A befindet. In dieser Position ist der Laufwagen 62 soweit wie möglich nach links verschoben, bis dieser beispielsweise auf einen Anschlag trifft.In addition, it can be seen that the labeling unit 3 is in a working position A. In this position, the carriage 62 is moved as far as possible to the left until it meets, for example, a stop.

Darüber hinaus ist zu sehen, dass die Schiebetür 72 der Schutzeinrichtung 7 nach oben verfahren ist, um den Raum für das Etikettieraggregat 3 freizugeben. Gleichzeitig liegt die am Etikettieraggregat 3 angebrachte Schutzscheibe 75 am Rahmen 78 bündig an, damit ein Benutzer nicht zwischen Etikettiermechanismus 31 und Rahmen 78 hindurch in den Förderbereich F greifen kann.In addition, it can be seen that the sliding door 72 of the protective device 7 is moved upward to release the space for the labeling unit 3. At the same time, the protective screen 75 attached to the labeling unit 3 rests flush on the frame 78, so that a user can not reach between the labeling mechanism 31 and the frame 78 into the conveying region F.

In der Arbeitsposition A werden die Etiketten aus dem Etikettenvorrat 32 entnommen und über den Etikettiermechanismus 31 an dem Behälter 5 angebracht. Beispielsweise umfasst der Etikettiermechanismus 31 eine Leimwalze, mit der die Etiketten 8 zunächst beleimt werden und dann über Paletten und einen Greifmechanismus auf das Gefäß 5 übertragen werden.In the working position A, the labels are removed from the label stock 32 and attached to the container 5 via the labeling mechanism 31. For example, the labeling mechanism includes 31, a glue roller with which the labels 8 are first glued and then transferred to the vessel 5 via pallets and a gripping mechanism.

Falls nun beispielsweise ein anderes Etikettieraggregat in einer weiteren Aggregataufnahme (hier nicht dargestellt) die Etikettierung übernimmt, so wird das hier dargestellte Etikettieraggregat 3 nicht für die Etikettierung benötigt. Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es möglich, das Etikettieraggregat 3 mit der Linearverstellung 6 manuell über das Handrad 61 aus dem Förderbereich F heraus in eine Ruheposition R zu bewegen. Dies wird genauer in nachfolgender Fig. 4 beschrieben.If, for example, another labeling unit in a further unit pickup (not shown here) takes over the labeling, the labeling unit 3 shown here is not required for the labeling. With the present invention, it is possible to manually move the labeling unit 3 with the linear adjustment 6 via the handwheel 61 out of the conveying region F into a rest position R. This will be more detailed in the following Fig. 4 described.

In Fig. 4 ist die Etikettiermaschine 1 aus der Fig. 3 zu sehen, wobei sich das Etikettieraggregat 3 in einer Ruheposition R befindet und die Schutzeinrichtung 7 in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Förderbereich F und das Etikettieraggregat 3 eingefahren ist. Dabei ist auch zu sehen, dass sich das Untergestell 4 nach wie vor an dem Karussell 2 in der Aggregataufnahme 24 fest positioniert befindet.In Fig. 4 is the labeling machine 1 from the Fig. 3 to see, with the labeling unit 3 is in a rest position R and the protection device 7 is retracted into the space between the conveyor region F and the labeling unit 3. It can also be seen that the undercarriage 4 is still firmly positioned on the carousel 2 in the unit seat 24.

Zu sehen ist, dass der Laufwagen 62 der Linearverstellung 6 über das Handrad 61 soweit nach rechts verstellt ist, dass es dort an einem Anschlag anliegt. Dieser Anschlag definiert die Ruheposition R des Etikettieraggregats 3. In der Ruheposition R ist der Zwischenraum so breit, dass die Schutzeinrichtung 7 nach unten verfahren werden kann.It can be seen that the carriage 62 of the linear adjustment 6 is moved over the handwheel 61 far enough to the right that it rests there against a stop. This stop defines the rest position R of the labeling unit 3. In the rest position R, the gap is so wide that the protective device 7 can be moved down.

Die Linearverstellung 6 ist mit einer Profilschienenführung ausgeführt (wie in Fig. 5 näher erläutert), wobei es durch diese besonders reibungsarme Profilschienenführung möglich ist, dass ein Benutzer das schwere Etikettieraggregat 3 von Hand verstellt. Dadurch kann das Etikettieraggregat 3 manuell verfahren werden, falls die Maschine anhält oder falls das Etikettieraggregat 3 im Betrieb nicht benutzt wird.The linear adjustment 6 is executed with a profiled rail guide (as in Fig. 5 explained in more detail), whereby it is possible by this particularly low-friction profiled rail guide that a user, the heavy labeling unit 3 adjusted by hand. As a result, the labeling unit 3 can be moved manually if the machine stops or if the labeling unit 3 is not used during operation.

Gleichzeitig ist der Benutzer auch in der Ruheposition R durch die Schutzeinrichtung 7 vor Verletzungen geschützt, da die Schiebetür 72 geschlossen ist.At the same time, the user is also protected in the rest position R by the protection device 7 from injury, since the sliding door 72 is closed.

In Fig. 5 ist eine Draufsicht auf die Linearverstellung 6 zu sehen, die in einer erfindungsgemäßen Etikettiermaschine, beispielsweise nach Fig. 1-4, eingesetzt werden kann. Zu sehen sind Profilschienen 66a und 66b, die an den jeweiligen Enden an dem Gehäuserahmen 67 befestigt sind. Diese Konstruktion bietet eine hohe Stabilität für die Linearverstellung 6. Die Profilschiene 66a wird durch den Läufer 65a umschlossen. Der Läufer 65a umfasst Kugeln oder Walzen, über die er auf der Profilschiene 66a verfahren werden kann. Dadurch kann der Läufer 65a auf der Profilschiene 66a auch bei einer hohen Gewichtskraft besonderes reibungsarm verfahren werden. Entsprechend der Profilschiene 66a und dem Läufer 65a ist auch die zweite Profilschiene 66b und der zweite Läufer 65b ausgeführt. Auf den Läufern 65a und 65b ist der Laufwagen 62 befestigt.In Fig. 5 is a plan view of the linear adjustment 6 to see in a labeling machine according to the invention, for example Fig. 1-4 , can be used. Shown are profile rails 66a and 66b, which are attached to the respective ends of the housing frame 67. This design provides high stability for the linear adjustment 6. The rail 66a is enclosed by the rotor 65a. The rotor 65a comprises balls or rollers, via which it can be moved on the profile rail 66a. As a result, the runner 65a on the profile rail 66a can be moved with particular low friction even with a high weight force. According to the rail 66a and the rotor 65a is also the second rail 66b and the second runner 65b executed. On the runners 65a and 65b of the carriage 62 is attached.

Um eine genaue Positionierung des Laufwagens 62 zu ermöglichen, ist er mit einer Gewindebohrung 63 versehen, in die die Spindel 64 eingreift. Die Spindel 64 wiederum ist an den Enden mit Kugellagern am Gehäuserahmen 67 drehbar gelagert. Bei einer Drehung der Spindel 64 um ihre Achse verschiebt sich somit der Laufwagen 62 in Richtung der Spindel (durch den Doppelpfeil gekennzeichnet).In order to enable accurate positioning of the carriage 62, it is provided with a threaded bore 63, in which the spindle 64 engages. The spindle 64 in turn is rotatably mounted at the ends with ball bearings on the housing frame 67. Upon rotation of the spindle 64 about its axis thus the carriage 62 shifts in the direction of the spindle (indicated by the double arrow).

Die Spindel 64 selbst wird über das Handrad 61 betätigt. Insgesamt ist es also möglich, dass ein Benutzer mit geringer Kraft das Handrad 61 dreht und den Laufwagen 62 verstellt, auch wenn das darauf angebrachte Etikettieraggregat (hier nicht dargestellt) ein großes Gewicht hat. Denkbar ist auch ein motorischer Antrieb für die Spindel 64 mit einem Drehgeber zur genauen Positionserfassung.The spindle 64 itself is actuated via the handwheel 61. Overall, it is therefore possible that a user with little force turns the handwheel 61 and the carriage 62 adjusted, even if the attached thereto labeling (not shown here) has a large weight. Also conceivable is a motor drive for the spindle 64 with a rotary encoder for accurate position detection.

Darüber hinaus sind der Arbeitspositionsschutzschalter 68 und der optionale Ruhepositionsschutzschalter 69 zu sehen. Hiermit kann erfasst werden, ob sich der Laufwagen 62 und damit das Etikettieraggregat 3 in der Arbeitsposition A oder der Ruheposition R befindet.In addition, the work position safety switch 68 and the optional rest position safety switch 69 can be seen. Hereby can be detected whether the carriage 62 and thus the labeling unit 3 is in the working position A or the rest position R.

Die Schutzlogik erfasst dabei die Position der Schiebetür 72 mit dem Türschutzschalter 73, die Positionierung des Etikettieraggregats 3 an der Aggregataufnahme 24 mit dem Positionsschutzschalter 76 und die Arbeitsposition A des Etikettieraggregats 3 mit dem Arbeitspositionsschutzschalter 68.
