Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling device for labeling folded products according to the features of claim 1 and to a method according to the features of claim 10.
  • a device is known to apply adhesive labels on the front in the conveying direction flanks of folded products.
  • a folded product is to be labeled on its rear side in the direction of production, sees the EP 2657142 A1 a turning device, which turns the folded product before the labeling device by 180 °, so that it can always be supplied with its front edges of the labeling, to apply an adhesive label there, namely on the front side.
  • the US 4,160,687 discloses a labeling device for applying adhesive labels on the downstream side of folded products by means of sensor-controlled rotating brushes, as a replacement of tuyeres, for folding over the previously donated on the top of the folded product label on the bottom to replace tuyeres.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved labeling device for applying adhesive labels to folded products.
  • the labeling device with a label dispenser for applying an adhesive label, hereinafter referred to as label, on a folded product and with a subsequent in the conveying direction of a transport system
  • the label dispenser pressure device is characterized in that the pressure device comprises two separately driven each with its own motor pressure units , Wherein a pressure unit can be driven reversibly in a motor-parallel manner to the conveying direction.
  • a pressure unit above and a further pressure unit are arranged below the transport system for the folded product to fold in a first step, a free end of the label in a vertical orientation and in a second step to fold this free end of the label further to the folded product and press to secure the open end of the folded product against unintentional opening, as is common, for example, in leaflets for medicines.
  • a pressure unit comprises a spring-loaded pressure plate to compensate for differences in the height of the folded product or in the orientation of the folded product on the transport system or thus to prevent damage to the label or folded product during the Umfaltvorgangs.
  • the pressure plate is movable on a circular path to perform two superimposed movements in the conveying direction and perpendicular thereto.
  • the circular path of the pressure plate by means of two jointly synchronously driven discs on which the pressure plate is mounted by means of an adapter plate executed.
  • a sensor upstream of the pressure device and upstream of the dispensing edge of the label dispenser is arranged in the conveying direction to detect the folded product or its position.
  • the sensor can detect the position of the leading edge and / or the position of the trailing edge of the folded product and transmit this information to the controller.
  • At least one of the pressure units in particular the reversibly drivable, preferably has a drive means, for example a toothed belt or a chain, wherein on the drive means at least one An horrfinger is provided to perform a Umfaltvorgang and a pressing operation of the free end of the label.
  • a drive means for example a toothed belt or a chain
  • the drivable pressure unit preferably comprises two drive wheels, of which a drive wheel can be driven reversibly by means of a motor drive in order to be able to reversibly move the drive means itself, i. in an operating mode rectified with the conveying direction, in another operating mode opposite thereto.
  • the inventive method for operating a labeling device with a label dispenser for applying a label to a folded product and with a pressure device comprising two pressure units is characterized in that one of the pressure units is driven by a motor reversible to folded products, either with its open side promoted advancing or opposite to be able to provide an adhesive label, without having to make retooling, which means downtime on the labeling.
  • reversibly driven is meant that the labeling device switches between a first operating mode in which the respective pressure unit with its part coming into contact with the label, for example a pressure finger, runs rectified to a movement of the folded products on the transport system, and a second Operating mode in which the relevant pressure unit stands still with the part coming into contact with the label or runs counter to the conveying direction of the folded products on the transport system.
  • the reversibly driven pressure unit presses the label on one side of the folded product, after the other pressure unit after dispensing the label on the folded product has a protruding portion of the label by preferably 90 °.
  • the part of the reversibly driven pressure unit pressing in the conveying direction of the folded products preferably has or reaches a higher speed than the folding products themselves.
  • the label pressing part "overtakes" the folded products, while the folded products to be labeled on the pressure units to be transported along. This allows above all the pressing of a label on the rear edge of the folded product seen in the transport direction.
  • the further pressure unit folds the label further around the folded product by means of a pressure finger and then presses the label against the folded product.
  • a controller of the labeling device is configured to control a rotational direction and the rotational speed of at least one of the pressure units depending on the conveying speed of the folded product or the transport system and the position of the label to be dispensed on the folded product. This leads to a process-reliable and positionally accurate attachment of the label around the open end of the folded product.
  • Fig. 1 shows a labeling device 1 according to the invention for folded products 2, as provided for example as leaflets for medicines, provided on the open side with a label 3 to prevent unwanted unfolding of the folded product 2.
  • the folded product 2 is transported on a transport system 4 in a conveying direction R between lower and upper conveyor belts 5, 6.
  • the upper and lower conveyor belts 5, 6 each have a transverse to the conveying direction and horizontally aligned intermediate space 25 (see also Fig. 2 ), through which the attached label 3 can extend.
  • the labeling device 1 has a label dispenser 7 to each donate a label 3 to a front or rear end of the folded product 2.
  • the label dispenser 7 downstream pressure device 8 of the labeling 1 presses the respective free forward or backward end of the label 3 to the open side of the folded product 2 and the folded product 2, while the folded product 2 by means of the transport system 4 by the labeling device 1 is conveyed.
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section of the labeling device 1 at the inlet.
  • the folded product 2 which has its open side on its rear side in the conveying direction R, is fed to the transport system 4 by means of a conveyor, not shown.
  • the transport system 4 transports the folded product 2 between the lower and the upper Conveyor belts 5, 6.
  • a gap 25 is provided which has at least the width of the label 3.
  • Fig. 3 shows an enlarged section of the labeling device 1 at the outlet with the folded product 2, around whose open side a label 3 has been applied.
  • the folded product 2 provided with the label 3 is transferred by the transport system 4 of the labeling device 1 to a downstream conveying device (not shown) in order to be supplied, for example, to a carton or a packaging.
  • Fig. 4 shows a section of the labeling device 1 in a side view with the pressure device 8 and a dispensing edge 9 of the label dispenser 7.
  • the folded product 2 is transported in the conveying direction R from right to left by means of the lower and upper conveyor belts 5, 6 and is thereby from a sensor 10th , which can be designed as a photocell, light barrier or the like, detected.
  • the sensor 10 transmits this information to a controller 22 (see Fig. 1 ) of the labeling device 1.
  • This information may include the position of the leading edge and / or the trailing edge of the folded product 2.
  • the controller 22 processes this information at the speed of the upper and lower conveyor belts 5, 6 to control the label dispenser 7 accordingly, so that the label 3 can be dispensed onto the folded product 2 in the desired position.
  • the folded product 2 with the attached label 3 is subsequently fed to the pressure device 8 in the conveying direction R.
  • the label 3 on a free, forward or over the open side of the folded product 2 projecting end, which is folded over with the pressure device 8 and pressed.
  • the pressure device 8 has an upper pressure unit 11 and a lower pressure unit 12.
  • the upper pressure unit 11 comprises two synchronously running discs 13, on which an adapter plate 14 is arranged such that the adapter plate 14 carries out a circular movement while the orientation to the conveying direction R, namely parallel thereto, remains unchanged.
  • a pressure plate 15 is pivotally mounted about a horizontally and transversely to the direction R aligned axis 16.
  • the pressure plate 15 is biased against a stop 18, wherein the spring 17 is connected at one of its sides with the adapter plate 14 and on the other side with the pressure plate 15.
  • the discs 13 are over an in Fig. 1 shown motor 23, preferably a servomotor, driven.
  • the lower pressure unit 12 comprises two drive wheels 19, wherein a drive wheel 19 by means of a in Fig. 1 shown motor 24, preferably a servo motor, is reversibly driven, ie with reversible direction of rotation of the motor 24 and thus the drive wheel 19.
  • a Chain 20 rotates around both drive wheels 19 and has two pressure fingers 21 which act in the space between the lower conveyor belts 6 on the label 3 and the folded product 2, ie the form part of the lower pressure unit 12 coming into contact with the labels 3.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 It is shown how the label 3 is donated in a first operating mode of the labeling device 1 to the rear end of the folded product 2 viewed in the conveying direction R on its upper side.
  • the folded product 2 has at the rear end or in the drawing shown on the right side its so-called open side, which is to be secured by the label 3 against accidental opening.
  • the label 3 is dispensed shortly before the pressure device 8 at the dispensing edge 9 of the label dispenser 7 on the top at the rear end of the folded product 2, so that in general at least half of the label 3 projects against the conveying direction R on the folded product 2.
  • the adapter plate 14 and with it the pressure plate 15 both down to the folded product 2 and in the conveying direction R this superimposed movement is caused by the circular movement of the discs 13.
  • Fig. 8 It is shown how the pressure plate 15 folds the free, protruding end of the label 3 down in an approximately vertical orientation.
