Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a labeling device with a bottom labeler.
  • a bottom labeler is a labeler for labeling the bottoms of packages or the like.
  • the bottom labeler is usually placed within a rack below the conveyor line of the packages to be labeled, i. below a conveyor belt of the labeling device, so that the packages can be labeled from below.
  • bottom labelers are usually difficult to access due to their placement underneath the conveyor belt, making it difficult to operate and maintain the bottom labelers.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a labeling device of the type mentioned, in which the bottom labeler is easy and convenient access.
  • an extracting device which comprises an extract, the tion on a Auszugtex- tion on a stationary extension support and stored relative to this linear between a retracted and a extended end position is movable, with the bottom labeler is positioned on the pullout.
  • the extract in particular the manual extract, allows the bottom labeler to be moved or moved from its operating position below the conveyor belt into a more accessible service position without major problems.
  • the procedure of the statement is made possible by the pullout guide.
  • the pullout guide and the drawer are each part of the pullout device. In particular, the separation in the horizontal and / or at least substantially perpendicular to a conveying direction of the conveyor belt, below which the bottom labeler is arranged.
  • a pressure spring can be provided which is articulated at one end to the drawer and at the other end to the drawer support in such a way that the drawer is biased into it in the retracted end position.
  • the pre-tensioning ensures that the pull-out during retraction is actually completely - and not only approximately - moved to the retracted end position. This is particularly important because the position of the drawer and the position of the bottom labeler and thus ultimately the label position on the packages to be labeled, i. the point at which the labels are applied to the packaging, is given. As a result of the prestressing, it is therefore possible, in particular, to prevent labels from being accurately positioned due to an inadvertently not completely pushing back of the bottom labeler into its operating position.
  • a compression spring is provided, which is hinged at one end to the drawer and at the other end to the drawer support such that it biases the drape as a function of its position in the retracted or extended end position.
  • the excerpt becomes thus always pressed by the compression spring either in one or the other, in particular stable, end position.
  • the pressure spring is a gas pressure spring and / or a compression spring, in particular with hydraulic damping. Due to the damping, the force-assisted movement of the drawer, in particular an end stop of the drawer in the respective end position, can be damped.
  • the extension connected to the end of the compression spring in the process of moving from one to the other end position of a linear trajectory, which passes to the connected to the drawer carrier stationary end of the compression spring follows.
  • the distance between the two articulation points of the pressure spring increases continuously up to a tilting point of the pressure spring, in which the direction of the spring force of the compression spring is oriented perpendicular to the direction of travel of the pullout.
  • the compression spring In the tilting point, the compression spring is in a labile equilibrium. In the process, the compression spring thus passes through the tilting point, up to which the bias of the compression spring must be overcome and from which the compression spring then acts force-supporting.
  • the extension device is designed such that the position of at least the retracted end position of the drawer and optionally also the extended end position is adjustable.
  • the position of the retracted end position which corresponds to the operating position of the bottom labeler, can therefore be used to set the label position on the packages to be labeled.
  • a stopper adjustable in the travel direction can be provided for the extension.
  • the position of the extended end position is additionally adjusted by this adjustable stopper, ie the position of the extended end position is coupled to the position of the retracted end position or vice versa. With one stopper, the positions of both end positions are then simultaneously set.
  • the stop which is directed upwards in particular, is fastened to the extension carrier.
  • the stopper can be fastened on a rail, in particular a flat steel or flat iron, which can be adjusted in the direction of travel by means of at least one screw connection along at least one elongated hole formed in a cross member of the extension support.
  • the tightened screw connection clamps the rail to the cross member.
  • the cross member is oriented transversely to the aforementioned conveying direction. It can be provided as an adjustment for the position of at least the retracted end position a scale.
  • At the trailing end of the extension when retracting a particular downwardly directed stop element can be fastened in particular immovable, which abuts in the retracted end position of the stopper.
  • a particular downwardly directed stop element can be fastened in particular undetachably, which abuts in the extended end position of the stopper at the trailing end of the extension.
  • the stopper is adjustable and the two stop elements are adjustable in order to achieve an adjustability of the position of the respective end position.
  • the pullout guide can be designed as a roller guide.
  • a roller guide has a high load capacity.
  • the roller guide comprises on both sides of the pull-out device in each case a guide rod fixed to the pull-out in particular on the underside and a plurality of rollers fastened in succession to the pull-out support, in particular on the upper side in the direction of travel, on whose running surfaces a circumferential groove is formed, in particular in the center respective guide rod engages movable.
  • the rollers are designed in the manner of a pulley and / or the axes of rotation of the rollers are each oriented vertically.
  • the drawer is in particular provided on the upper side with a rotatable holder, in particular turntable, on which the bottom labeler is positioned. This allows the bottom labeller to pivot about the vertical in the extended end position so that the bottom labeller is particularly accessible on multiple sides.
  • the invention further relates to a weighing conveyor with at least one conveyor belt, a weighing belt and a labeling device, as described above.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a weighing conveyor with a labeling device according to the invention, which is an extract Comprising a drawer-type drawer and a bottom labeler disposed on the drawer, the drawer extractor of Fig. 1 having an extended drawer, the bottom labeller being shown in two different positions,

Since the stopper 65 cooperates not only with the front stop element 67, but also with the rear stop element 67, not only the retracted end position is adjusted by adjusting the stopper 65, but at the same time the extended end position of the drawer 49th
  • a gas spring 75 is provided, which is articulated at one end to the drawer 49 and at its other end immediately adjacent to the stopper 65 on the rail 69 of the drawer carrier 53 , In this way it can be ensured that the bottom labeler 43 always occupies the same position relative to the conveyor belts 27, 29 in its operating position in order to prevent deviations in the label position on the packages.
  • the articulation points of the gas spring 75 on the drawer 49 and on the drawer carrier 53 are selected such that the drawer 49 is biased either in the retracted or in the extended end position depending on its position. For this purpose, this moves with the train 49 connected end of the gas spring 75 along a linear in the travel direction oriented path, which runs past the stationary, connected to the extension support 53 end of the gas spring 75. Ultimately, the distance between the two articulation points in moving the extension 49 from one to the other end position changes such that the distance to a tilt point of the gas spring 75 (see Fig. 4b), in which the direction of the spring force of Gas spring 75 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the extension 49, continuously decreases, in order to continuously increase after exceeding the tilting point again.
  • the gas spring 75 is equipped with a hydraulic damping, so that the striking of the drawer 49 can be damped in the respective end position.
  • the drawer according to the invention ensures that the bottom labeller can be moved into a position in which it is easily accessible. By biasing the drawer to the retracted end position, it is possible to ensure that the bottom labeller returns to exactly the same position after being pushed back into the operating position as before it has moved out of this position.
