Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Etikettiervorrichtung mit einem Bottom-Etikettierer. Bei einem Bottom-Etikettierer handelt es sich um einen Etikettierer zur Etikettierung der Unterseiten von Verpackungen oder dergleichen. Hierzu ist der Bottom-Etikettierer üblicherweise innerhalb eines Gestells unterhalb der Förderstrecke der zu etikettierenden Verpackungen platziert, d.h. unterhalb eines Förderbands der Etikettiervorrichtung, so dass die Verpackungen von unten etikettiert werden können.The present invention relates to a labeling device with a bottom labeler. A bottom labeler is a labeler for labeling the undersides of packaging or the like. For this purpose, the bottom labeler is usually placed inside a frame below the conveyor line of the packaging to be labeled, i.e. below a conveyor belt of the labeling device, so that the packaging can be labeled from below.

Ein derartiger Bottom-Etikettierer mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 ist beispielsweise aus dem Dokument JP S59 87414 U bekannt. Weiterhin ist aus der JP 2008 285182 A ein anderer Bottom-Etikettierer bekannt. Dieser ist jedoch nicht auf einem Auszug positioniert, sondern er hängt daran.Such a bottom labeler with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is for example from the document JP S59 87414 U known. Furthermore, from the JP 2008 285182 A known another bottom labeler. However, this is not positioned on a drawer, but hangs on it.

Die Betriebsposition dieser zwei bekannten Bottom-Etikettierer ist nicht einstellbar.The operating position of these two known bottom labelers is not adjustable.

Andere bekannte Bottom-Etikettierer sind aufgrund ihrer nicht ausfahrbaren Anordnung unterhalb des Förderbands jedoch meist nur schwer zugänglich, so dass die Bedienung und Wartung der Bottom-Etikettierer erschwert wird.However, due to their non-extendable arrangement below the conveyor belt, other known bottom labelers are usually difficult to access, so that the operation and maintenance of the bottom labeler is made more difficult.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Etikettiervorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, bei der der Bottom-Etikettierer einfach und komfortabel zugänglich ist, wobei die Etikettenposition an den zu etikettierenden Verpackungen eingestellt werden kann.The invention is based on the object of specifying a labeling device of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the bottom labeler is easily and conveniently accessible, and the label position on the packaging to be labeled can be set.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Etikettiervorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, und insbesondere dadurch, dass die Auszugvorrichtung derart ausgebildet ist, dass die Lage zumindest der eingefahrenen Endposition des Auszugs einstellbar ist.The object is achieved by a labeling device with the features of claim 1, and in particular in that the pull-out device is designed such that the position of at least the retracted end position of the pull-out is adjustable.

Durch den Auszug, insbesondere Handauszug, kann der Bottom-Etikettierer ohne größere Probleme aus seiner Betriebsposition unterhalb des Förderbands in eine besser zugängliche Serviceposition verbracht bzw. bewegt werden. Das Verfahren des Auszugs wird durch die Auszugführung ermöglicht. Die Auszugführung und der Auszugträger sind jeweils Teil der Auszugvorrichtung. Insbesondere ist der Auszug in der Horizontalen und/oder zumindest im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu einer Förderrichtung des Förderbands verfahrbar, unterhalb dem der Bottom-Etikettierer angeordnet ist.As a result of the pull-out, in particular manual pull-out, the bottom labeler can be brought or moved from its operating position below the conveyor belt into a more accessible service position without major problems. The pull-out movement is enabled by the pull-out guide. The pull-out guide and the pull-out support are each part of the pull-out device. In particular, the extension can be moved horizontally and / or at least substantially perpendicular to a conveying direction of the conveyor belt, below which the bottom labeler is arranged.

Es kann eine Druckfeder vorgesehen sein, die mit einem Ende an dem Auszug und mit dem anderen Ende an dem Auszugträger derart angelenkt ist, dass der Auszug in der eingefahrenen Endposition in diese vorgespannt ist. Die Vorspannung gewährleistet, dass der Auszug beim Einfahren auch tatsächlich vollständig - und nicht nur annähernd - bis in die eingefahrene Endposition verfahren wird. Dies ist insbesondere deshalb von Bedeutung, da durch die Position des Auszugs auch die Position des Bottom-Etikettierers und damit letztlich wiederum die Etikettenposition an den zu etikettierenden Verpackungen, d.h. die Stelle, an der die Etiketten an den Verpackungen aufgebracht werden, vorgegeben ist. Durch die Vorspannung kann also insbesondere verhindert werden, dass Etiketten aufgrund eines versehentlich nicht vollständig erfolgten Zurückschiebens des Bottom-Etikettierers in seine Betriebsposition nicht zielgenau positioniert werden.A compression spring can be provided, one end of which is hinged to the pull-out and the other end to the pull-out carrier in such a way that the pull-out is biased into the retracted end position. The preload ensures that the pull-out is actually moved completely - and not just approximately - to the retracted end position when it is retracted. This is particularly important because the position of the pull-out also determines the position of the bottom labeler and thus ultimately the label position on the packaging to be labeled, i.e. the point at which the labels are applied to the packaging. The pretensioning can therefore, in particular, prevent labels from not being positioned precisely because the bottom labeler is inadvertently not pushed back completely into its operating position.

Vorzugsweise ist eine Druckfeder vorgesehen, die mit einem Ende an dem Auszug und mit dem anderen Ende an dem Auszugträger derart angelenkt ist, dass sie den Auszug in Abhängigkeit von dessen Position in die eingefahrene oder die ausgefahrene Endposition vorspannt. Der Auszug wird durch die Druckfeder also immer entweder in die eine oder die andere, insbesondere stabile, Endposition gedrückt.A compression spring is preferably provided, one end of which is hinged to the pull-out carrier and the other end to the pull-out support in such a way that it biases the pull-out into the retracted or extended end position depending on its position. The move will so always pressed by the compression spring either into one or the other, in particular stable, end position.

Insbesondere handelt es sich bei der Druckfeder um eine Gasdruckfeder und/oder um eine Druckfeder mit insbesondere hydraulischer Dämpfung. Durch die Dämpfung kann die kraftunterstützte Bewegung des Auszugs, insbesondere ein Endanschlag des Auszugs in der jeweiligen Endposition, gedämpft werden.In particular, the compression spring is a gas compression spring and / or a compression spring with, in particular, hydraulic damping. The force-assisted movement of the pull-out, in particular an end stop of the pull-out in the respective end position, can be damped by the damping.

Nach einer Ausbildung der Erfindung folgt das mit dem Auszug verbundenen Ende der Druckfeder beim Verfahren des Auszugs von der einen zu der anderen Endposition einer linearen Bewegungsbahn, die an dem mit dem Auszugträger verbundenen stationären Ende der Druckfeder vorbeiführt. Insbesondere nimmt der Abstand zwischen den beiden Anlenkpunkten der Druckfeder bis zu einem Kipp-Punkt der Druckfeder, in dem die Richtung der Federkraft der Druckfeder senkrecht zu der Verfahrrichtung des Auszugs orientiert ist, zunächst kontinuierlich ab und danach kontinuierlich zu. In dem Kipp-Punkt befindet sich die Druckfeder in einem labilen Gleichgewicht. Beim Verfahren durchläuft die Druckfeder also den Kipp-Punkt, bis zu dem hin die Vorspannung der Druckfeder überwunden werden muss und ab dem die Druckfeder dann kraftunterstützend wirkt.According to one embodiment of the invention, the end of the compression spring connected to the pull-out follows a linear movement path during the pull-out movement from one to the other end position, which moves past the stationary end of the pressure spring connected to the pull-out support. In particular, the distance between the two articulation points of the compression spring up to a tipping point of the compression spring, in which the direction of the spring force of the compression spring is oriented perpendicular to the direction of travel of the extension, initially decreases continuously and then increases continuously. At the tipping point, the compression spring is in an unstable equilibrium. During the process, the compression spring passes through the tipping point, up to which the preload of the compression spring has to be overcome and from which the compression spring then acts as a force-supporting.

Die Auszugvorrichtung ist erfindungsgemäß derart ausgebildet, dass die Lage zumindest der eingefahrenen Endposition des Auszugs und optional zusätzlich auch der ausgefahrenen Endposition einstellbar ist. Über die Lage der eingefahrenen Endposition, die der Betriebsposition des Bottom-Etikettierers entspricht, kann daher die Etikettenposition an den zu etikettierenden Verpackungen eingestellt werden.According to the invention, the pull-out device is designed in such a way that the position of at least the retracted end position of the pull-out device and optionally also the extended end position can be adjusted. The label position on the packaging to be labeled can therefore be set via the position of the retracted end position, which corresponds to the operating position of the bottom labeler.

Um die Lage zumindest der eingefahrenen Endposition einzustellen, kann ein in Verfahrrichtung verstellbarer Stopper für den Auszug vorgesehen sein. Insbesondere wird durch diesen verstellbaren Stopper zusätzlich auch die Lage der ausgefahrenen Endposition eingestellt, d.h. die Lage der ausgefahrenen Endposition ist an die Lage der eingefahrenen Endposition gekoppelt bzw. umgekehrt. Mit dem einen Stopper werden dann gleichzeitig die Lagen beider Endpositionen eingestellt.In order to set the position of at least the retracted end position, a stopper adjustable in the direction of travel can be provided for the pull-out. In particular, this adjustable stopper also sets the position of the extended end position, i.e. the position of the extended end position is linked to the position of the retracted end position or vice versa. With one stopper, the positions of both end positions are then set at the same time.

Nach einer Ausbildung der Erfindung ist der insbesondere nach oben gerichtete Stopper ist an dem Auszugträger befestigt. Der Stopper kann auf einer Schiene, insbesondere einem Flachstahl oder Flacheisen, befestigt sein, die über wenigstens eine Schraubverbindung entlang wenigstens eines in einem Querträger des Auszugträgers ausgebildeten Langlochs in Verfahrrichtung verstellbar ist. Die angezogene Schraubverbindung verklemmt die Schiene an dem Querträger. Insbesondere ist der Querträger quer zu der vorgenannten Förderrichtung orientiert. Es kann eine Skala als Einstellhilfe für die Lage zumindest der eingefahrenen Endposition vorgesehen sein.According to one embodiment of the invention, the stopper, in particular directed upwards, is attached to the pull-out support. The stopper can be attached to a rail, in particular a flat steel or flat iron, which can be adjusted in the direction of travel via at least one screw connection along at least one elongated hole formed in a cross member of the pull-out support. The tightened screw connection clamps the rail to the cross member. In particular, the cross member is oriented transversely to the aforementioned conveying direction. A scale can be provided as a setting aid for the position of at least the retracted end position.

An dem beim Einfahren nachlaufenden Ende des Auszugs kann ein insbesondere nach unten gerichtetes Anschlagelement insbesondere unverstellbar befestigt sein, das in der eingefahrenen Endposition an dem Stopper anliegt. Zusätzlich kann an dem beim Ausfahren nachlaufenden Ende des Auszugs ein insbesondere nach unten gerichtetes Anschlagelement insbesondere unverstellbar befestigt sein, das in der ausgefahrenen Endposition an dem Stopper anliegt. Grundsätzlich ist es auch denkbar, dass der Stopper unverstellbar und die beiden Anschlagelemente verstellbar sind, um eine Verstellbarkeit der Lage der jeweiligen Endposition zu erreichen. Die Auszugführung kann als Rollenführung ausgebildet sein. Eine Rollenführung besitzt eine hohe Tragfähigkeit. Bevorzugt umfasst die Rollenführung zu beiden Seiten der Auszugvorrichtung jeweils eine an dem Auszug insbesondere unterseitig befestige Führungsstange und mehrere, in Verfahrrichtung hintereinander an dem Auszugträger insbesondere oberseitig befestigte Rollen, an deren Laufflächen jeweils insbesondere mittig eine umlaufende Nut ausgebildet ist, in die die jeweilige Führungsstange verfahrbar eingreift. Insbesondere sind die Rollen nach Art einer Seilrolle ausgebildet und/oder die Drehachsen der Rollen jeweils vertikal orientiert.A stop element, in particular directed downwards, can be fastened, in particular non-adjustably, to the end of the pull-out that traces during retraction and rests against the stopper in the retracted end position. In addition, a stop element, in particular directed downwards, can be fastened, in particular non-adjustably, to the end of the extension that traces during extension, which stop element rests against the stopper in the extended end position. In principle, it is also conceivable for the stopper to be non-adjustable and for the two stop elements to be adjustable in order to adjust the position of the respective end position. The pull-out guide can be designed as a roller guide. A roller guide has a high load-bearing capacity. The roller guide preferably comprises on both sides of the pull-out device a guide rod attached to the pull-out, in particular on the underside, and several rollers, which are attached one behind the other in the direction of travel to the pull-out support, in particular on the top, and on the running surfaces of which a circumferential groove is formed, in particular in the center, into which the respective guide rod can be moved intervenes. In particular, the rollers are designed in the manner of a cable roller and / or the axes of rotation of the rollers are each oriented vertically.

Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Auszug insbesondere oberseitig mit einem drehbaren Halter, insbesondere Drehteller, versehen, auf dem der Bottom-Etikettierer positioniert ist. Dies ermöglicht, dass der Bottom-Etikettierer in der ausgefahrenen Endposition um die Vertikale schwenkbar ist, so dass der Bottom-Etikettierer an mehreren Seiten besonders gut zugänglich ist.According to one embodiment of the invention, the pull-out is provided on the top with a rotatable holder, in particular a rotary plate, on which the bottom labeler is positioned.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung zeigt eine Wäge-Fördervorrichtung 11, die ein erstes Zuführband 15, ein zweites Zuführband 17, ein Wägeband 19, einen Metalldetektor 23 und eine Etikettiervorrichtung 13 mit zwei Förderbändern 27, 29 umfasst. Das Wägeband 19 ist mit einer unterhalb des Wägebands 19 angeordneten, nicht dargestellten Wägezelle gekoppelt, die dazu ausgelegt ist, das Gewicht eines sich über das Wägeband 19 bewegenden Stückguts zu bestimmen. Wägeband 19 und Wägezelle bilden eine Wägeplattform, die als Kontrollwaage bzw. Checkweigher oder als Preisauszeichner ausgebildet sein kann. Zu beiden Seiten der drei Transportbänder 15, 17, 19 sind Schmutzabweisbleche 21 vorgesehen. Im Betrieb der Wäge-Fördervorrichtung 11 werden zu verwiegende Packungen oder dergleichen von den Zuführbändern 15, 17 an das Wägeband 19 übergeben, dort gewogen und an ein Transportband des Metalldetektors 23 weitertransportiert. Anschließend werden die Packungen von der Etikettiervorrichtung 13 übernommen und mit einem Etikett versehen, das bei einem Preisauszeichner zuvor mit dem von der Wägezelle für die jeweilige Packung ermittelten Gewicht bedruckt wurde. Bei der Etikettiervorrichtung 13 handelt es sich demnach um eine Druck- und Etikettiervorrichtung. Der Metalldetektor 23 kann auch weggelassen werden, oder anstelle des Metalldetektors 23 oder zusätzlich hierzu kann auch beispielsweise eine Sortiereinrichtung vorgesehen sein. Im Bereich der Etikettiervorrichtung 13 ist in der Ansicht gemäß Fig. 1 an der Rückseite des Gestells 25 ein Schaltschrank 31 für die Steuerung der Wäge-Fördervorrichtung 11 vorgesehen.In the Fig. 1 The device shown shows a weighing conveyor device 11 which comprises a first feed belt 15, a second feed belt 17, a weighing belt 19, a metal detector 23 and a labeling device 13 with two conveyor belts 27, 29. The weighing belt 19 is coupled to a weighing cell, not shown, which is arranged below the weighing belt 19 and is designed to determine the weight of a piece goods moving over the weighing belt 19. Weighing belt 19 and weighing cell form a weighing platform that can be designed as a checkweigher or checkweigher or as a price labeler. Dirt deflection plates 21 are provided on both sides of the three conveyor belts 15, 17, 19. During operation of the weighing conveyor device 11, packages or the like to be weighed are transferred from the feed belts 15, 17 to the weighing belt 19, where they are weighed and transported on to a conveyor belt of the metal detector 23. The packs are then taken over by the labeling device 13 and provided with a label which, in a price labeler, has previously been printed with the weight determined by the weighing cell for the respective pack. The labeling device 13 is accordingly a printing and labeling device. The metal detector 23 can also be omitted, or instead of or in addition to the metal detector 23, a sorting device can also be provided, for example. In the area of the labeling device 13, the view according to FIG Fig. 1 A switch cabinet 31 for controlling the weighing conveyor 11 is provided on the rear of the frame 25.

Darüber hinaus umfasst die Wäge-Fördervorrichtung 11 ein Gestell 25. Das Gestell 25 umfasst mehrere Seitenwangen 33, die im Bereich der Förderbänder 15, 17, des Wägebands 19 und des Metalldetektors 23, d.h. im Bereich eines Wägemoduls und eines Metalldetektormoduls des Gestells, über jeweils mehrere als Rundrohre ausgebildete, parallel zueinander verlaufende Längsträger 37 fest miteinander verbunden sind. Die Seitenwangen 33 des Wägemoduls sind jeweils zweiteilig ausgebildet, wobei die beiden jeweiligen Seitenwangenteile über als Vierkantrohre ausgebildete Querträger 39, die an den Innenseiten der Seitenwangenteile vorgesehen sind, miteinander verbunden sind. An die Seitenwangen 33 sind jeweils zwei Standfüße 35 angeschraubt, die unabhängig voneinander höhenverstellbar sind. Durch die Standfüße 35 kann eine Justierung der Höhe des Gestells 25 vorgenommen werden.In addition, the weighing conveyor 11 comprises a frame 25. The frame 25 comprises several side walls 33, which in the area of the conveyor belts 15, 17, the weighing belt 19 and the metal detector 23, ie in the area of a weighing module and a metal detector module of the frame, over a plurality of longitudinal beams 37 designed as round tubes and running parallel to one another are firmly connected to one another. The side cheeks 33 of the weighing module are each designed in two parts, the two respective side cheek parts being connected to one another via cross members 39 designed as square tubes, which are provided on the inside of the side cheek parts. Two feet 35 are screwed to the side cheeks 33, which are height-adjustable independently of one another. The height of the frame 25 can be adjusted by means of the feet 35.

Die Etikettiervorrichtung 13 (Fig. 2) umfasst einen Top-Etikettierer 41, der oberhalb der Förderbänder 27, 29 angeordnet ist, um auf den Förderbändern 27, 29 transportierte Verpackungen von oben, d.h. an deren Oberseite, mit einem Etikett zu versehen. Darüber hinaus umfasst die Etikettiervorrichtung 13 einen Bottom-Etikettierer 43, der innerhalb des Gestells 25, unterhalb der Förderbänder 27, 29 angeordnet ist, um auf den Förderbändern 27, 29 transportierte Verpackungen von unten, d.h. an deren Unterseite, mit einem Etikett zu versehen. Hierzu wird das jeweilige Etikett von dem Bottom-Etikettierer 43 nach oben durch den zwischen den beiden Förderbändern 27 einerseits und den beiden Förderbändern 29 anderseits ausgebildeten Spalt hindurch gespendet und auf den Verpackungen appliziert.The labeling device 13 ( Fig. 2 ) comprises a top labeler 41, which is arranged above the conveyor belts 27, 29 in order to apply a label from above, ie on the upper side, of packages transported on the conveyor belts 27, 29. In addition, the labeling device 13 comprises a bottom labeler 43, which is arranged inside the frame 25, below the conveyor belts 27, 29, in order to label packages transported on the conveyor belts 27, 29 from below, ie on their underside. For this purpose, the respective label is dispensed from the bottom labeler 43 upwards through the gap formed between the two conveyor belts 27 on the one hand and the two conveyor belts 29 on the other hand and applied to the packaging.

Um eine einfache Zugänglichkeit zu dem Bottom-Etikettierer 43 zu gewährleisten, beispielsweise für einen Etikettenrollenwechsel oder eine Wartung, ist eine Auszugvorrichtung 45 für den Bottom-Etikettierer 43 vorgesehen, um den Bottom-Etikettierer 43 aus der wenig zugänglichen Betriebsposition unterhalb der Förderbänder 27, 29 herauszuziehen. Dies ist in Fig. 2a gezeigt. Der Bottom-Etikettierer 43 steht dabei zusätzlich auf einem Drehteller 47 der Auszugvorrichtung 45 (Fig. 3 und 5). Hierdurch ist es möglich, den Bottom-Etikettierer 43 um die Vertikale zu schwenken, wie es in Fig. 2b gezeigt ist, um Arbeiten, insbesondere Wartungsarbeiten, am Bottom-Etikettierer 43 weiter zu erleichtern.In order to ensure easy accessibility to the bottom labeler 43, for example for a label roll change or maintenance, a pull-out device 45 is provided for the bottom labeler 43 to remove the bottom labeler 43 from the inaccessible operating position below the conveyor belts 27, 29 pull out. This is in Fig. 2a shown. The bottom labeler 43 is also located on a turntable 47 of the pull-out device 45 ( Fig. 3 and 5 ). This makes it possible to pivot the bottom labeler 43 about the vertical, as shown in FIG Figure 2b is shown in order to further facilitate work, in particular maintenance work, on the bottom labeler 43.

Die Auszugvorrichtung 45 umfasst gemäß den Fig. 3 und 4 einen plattenförmigen Auszug 49, der über eine Auszugführung 51 linear verfahrbar zwischen einer eingefahrenen Endposition (Fig. 1, 3, 4a) und einer ausgefahrenen Endposition (Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b, Fig. 4c) an einem stationären Auszugträger 53, der fest mit dem Gestell 25 verbunden ist, gelagert ist. Wie insbesondere in Fig. 5 erkennbar ist, weist der Auszugträger 53 zwei L-förmige Querträger 55 auf, deren kürzerer Schenkel jeweils in der Vertikalen und deren längerer Schenkel jeweils in der Horizontalen orientiert ist. Die beiden Querträger 55 sind zu den beiden Seiten der Auszugvorrichtung 45 angeordnet. Darüber hinaus weist der Auszugträger 53 zwei Längsträger 57 auf, durch die die beiden Querträger 55 fest miteinander verbunden sind.The pull-out device 45 comprises according to FIGS Fig. 3 and 4th a plate-shaped drawer 49, which can be moved linearly via a drawer guide 51 between a retracted end position ( Fig. 1 , 3, 4a ) and an extended end position ( Fig. 2a , Figure 2b , Figure 4c ) is mounted on a stationary pull-out support 53, which is firmly connected to the frame 25. As in particular in Fig. 5 can be seen, the pull-out support 53 has two L-shaped Cross member 55, the shorter leg of which is each oriented in the vertical and the longer leg in each case in the horizontal. The two cross members 55 are arranged on both sides of the pull-out device 45. In addition, the pull-out support 53 has two longitudinal supports 57, by means of which the two transverse supports 55 are firmly connected to one another.

Die Auszugführung 51 ist als Rollenführung ausgebildet. Hierzu sind auf jedem der beiden Querträger 55 oberseitig jeweils zwei Rollen 59 vorgesehen, die in Verfahrrichtung des Auszugs 49 hintereinander angeordnet sind. Die Rollen 59 sind jeweils nach Art einer Seilrolle ausgebildet, d.h. ihre Laufflächen sind jeweils mittig mit einer umlaufenden Nut versehen. Die beiden Rollen 59 eines jeweiligen Querträgers 55 wirken mit einer jeweiligen in Verfahrrichtung orientierten Führungsstange 61 zusammen, die über einen jeweiligen Steg 63 jeweils an der Unterseite des Auszugs 49 angebracht ist. Das Zusammenwirken erfolgt dabei derart, dass die jeweilige Führungsstange 61 in die Nuten der beiden jeweiligen Rollen 59 eingreift, so dass die Führungsstange 61 beim Verfahren des Auszugs 49 an den Rollen 59 abrollen kann.The pull-out guide 51 is designed as a roller guide. For this purpose, two rollers 59 are provided on the upper side of each of the two cross members 55 and are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel of the extension 49. The pulleys 59 are each designed in the manner of a rope pulley, i.e. their running surfaces are each provided in the middle with a circumferential groove. The two rollers 59 of a respective cross member 55 interact with a respective guide rod 61 oriented in the direction of travel, which is attached to the underside of the drawer 49 via a respective web 63. The interaction takes place in such a way that the respective guide rod 61 engages in the grooves of the two respective rollers 59 so that the guide rod 61 can roll on the rollers 59 when the drawer 49 is moved.

Die Lage der beiden Endpositionen des Auszugs 49 relativ zu dem Auszugträger 53 ist durch eine Anschlagkonstruktion vorgegeben. Die Anschlagkonstruktion umfasst einen Stopper 65 und zwei Anschlagelemente 67. Der Stopper 65 ist oberseitig auf einer Schiene 69 befestigt, die wiederum an einem der beiden Querträger 55 befestigt ist. Die beiden Anschlagelemente 67 sind unterseitig an dem vorderen und dem hinteren Ende des Auszugs 49 befestigt. In der eingefahrenen Endposition schlägt das vordere Anschlagelement 67 an dem Stopper 65 an, in der ausgefahrenen Endposition das hintere Anschlagelement 69.The position of the two end positions of the pull-out 49 relative to the pull-out support 53 is predetermined by a stop structure. The stop construction comprises a stopper 65 and two stop elements 67. The stopper 65 is fastened on the upper side on a rail 69, which in turn is fastened to one of the two cross members 55. The two stop elements 67 are fastened on the underside to the front and the rear end of the drawer 49. In the retracted end position, the front stop element 67 strikes the stopper 65, in the extended end position the rear stop element 69.

Da durch die Lage der eingefahrenen Endposition des Auszugs 49 gleichzeitig auch die Lage des Bottom-Etikettierers 43 relativ zu den Förderbändern 27, 29 vorgegeben ist, ist hierdurch letztlich auch die Etikettenposition an den Verpackungen vorgegeben. Um diese Etikettenposition einstellen zu können, ist die Lage des Stoppers 65 relativ zu dem Querträger 55, an dem er befestigt ist, in Verfahrrichtung des Auszugs 49 einstellbar. Hierzu ist die Lage der Schiene 69 in Verfahrrichtung des Auszugs 49 einstellbar. Um dies zu ermöglichen, sind in dem Querträger 55 zwei Langlöcher 71 ausgebildet, um die Schiene über zwei Schrauben 73 verstellbar an dem Querträger 55 zu befestigen. Darüber hinaus ist eine nicht gezeigte Skala vorgesehen, die als Einstellhilfe für die Lage der eingefahrenen Endposition dient. Da der Stopper 65 nicht nur mit dem vorderen Anschlagelement 67 zusammenwirkt, sondern auch mit dem hinteren Anschlagelement 67, wird durch ein Verstellen des Stoppers 65 nicht nur die eingefahrene Endposition verstellt, sondern gleichzeitig auch die ausgefahrene Endposition des Auszugs 49.Since the position of the retracted end position of the drawer 49 also determines the position of the bottom labeler 43 relative to the conveyor belts 27, 29, the label position on the packaging is ultimately also given. In order to be able to set this label position, the position of the stop 65 relative to the cross member 55 to which it is attached can be adjusted in the direction of travel of the drawer 49. For this purpose, the position of the rail 69 in the direction of travel of the extension 49 can be adjusted. In order to make this possible, two elongated holes 71 are formed in the cross member 55 in order to adjustably fasten the rail to the cross member 55 by means of two screws 73. In addition, a scale (not shown) is provided, which serves as a setting aid for the position of the retracted end position. Since the stopper 65 interacts 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 stop 65, but also the extended end position of the extension 49 at the same time.

Um sicherzustellen, dass der Auszug beim Einfahren auch tatsächlich vollständig die eingefahrene Endposition erreicht, ist eine Gasdruckfeder 75 vorgesehen, die mit ihrem einen Ende an dem Auszug 49 und mit ihrem anderen Ende unmittelbar neben dem Stopper 65 an der Schiene 69 des Auszugträgers 53 angelenkt ist. Hierdurch kann gewährleistet werden, dass der Bottom-Etikettierer 43 in seiner Betriebsposition immer dieselbe Position relativ zu den Förderbändern 27, 29 einnimmt, um Abweichungen in der Etikettenposition an den Verpackungen zu verhindern.In order to ensure that the pull-out actually fully reaches the retracted end position when it is retracted, a gas pressure spring 75 is provided, one end of which is hinged to the pull-out 49 and its other end is hinged to the rail 69 of the pull-out support 53 immediately next to the stopper 65 . This can ensure that the bottom labeler 43 always assumes 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 packaging.

Die Anlenkpunkte der Gasdruckfeder 75 an dem Auszug 49 und an dem Auszugträger 53 sind dabei derart gewählt, dass der Auszug 49 in Abhängigkeit von seiner Position entweder in die eingefahrene oder in die ausgefahrene Endposition vorspannt ist. Hierzu bewegt sich das mit dem Auszug 49 verbundene Ende der Gasdruckfeder 75 entlang einer linearen in Verfahrrichtung orientierten Bahn, die an dem stationären, mit dem Auszugträger 53 verbundenen Ende des Gasdruckfeder 75 vorbeiläuft. Letztlich ändert sich der Abstand zwischen den beiden Anlenkpunkten beim Verfahren des Auszugs 49 aus der einen in die andere Endposition derart, dass der Abstand bis zu einem Kipp-Punkt der Gasdruckfeder 75 (vgl. Fig. 4b), in dem die Richtung der Federkraft der Gasdruckfeder 75 senkrecht auf der Verfahrrichtung des Auszugs 49 steht, kontinuierlich abnimmt, um nach Überschreiten des Kipp-Punkts wieder kontinuierlich zuzunehmen. Die Gasdruckfeder 75 ist mit einer hydraulischen Dämpfung ausgestattet, so dass das Anschlagen des Auszugs 49 in der jeweiligen Endposition gedämpft werden kann.The articulation points of the gas pressure spring 75 on the pull-out 49 and on the pull-out support 53 are selected in such a way that the pull-out 49 is pretensioned either into the retracted or extended end position, depending on its position. To do this, it moves with the pull-out 49 connected end of the gas pressure spring 75 along a linear path oriented in the direction of travel, which runs past the stationary end of the gas pressure spring 75 connected to the pull-out support 53. Ultimately, the distance between the two articulation points changes when the extension 49 is moved from one end position to the other such that the distance up to a tipping point of the gas pressure spring 75 (cf. Figure 4b ), in which the direction of the spring force of the gas pressure spring 75 is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the pull-out 49, continuously decreases in order to increase again continuously after the tipping point has been exceeded. The gas pressure spring 75 is equipped with hydraulic damping so that the impact of the extension 49 can be dampened in the respective end position.

Der erfindungsgemäße Auszug gewährleistet, dass der Bottom-Etikettierer in eine Position verfahren werden kann, in der er leicht zugänglich ist. Durch die Vorspannung des Auszugs in die eingefahrene Endposition kann sichergestellt werden, dass der Bottom-Etikettierer nach dem Zurückschieben in die Betriebsposition wieder exakt dieselbe Position wie vor dem Ausfahren aus dieser Position einnimmt.The extract according to the invention ensures that the bottom labeler can be moved into a position in which it is easily accessible. By pretensioning the drawer into the retracted end position, it can be ensured that after being pushed back into the operating position, the bottom labeler assumes exactly the same position as before it was moved out of this position.
