Definitions

  • the transfer devices are in this case designed as a rotatably driven transfer drums, so that a deflection, for example, an S-shaped deflection of the label strip takes place.
  • the transfer devices are also designed to effect holding or fixing forces on partial sections of the label strip adjacent to these transfer devices and are driven in such a way that the label strip has a slip in relation to these transfer devices. This causes a tension at the free end of the label tape. This free end is separated after a certain feed with a certain length by a cutter, wherein the separation is such that the separated portion forms a label to be mounted on a container.
  • a disadvantage of the known from the prior art Etikettenzu classroomvorraum is that this causes an unduly high elongation of the label material due to the elasticity of the label material and passed through with slip under the label transfer units, so that consequently separated from the continuous label tape labels have different lengths. If the length deviations exceed a certain tolerance, unwanted effects occur during the gluing of the labels or when the labels are applied to the containers to be labeled. Another Problem occurs during the separation of the labels from the label tape, wherein the label end under tension after the separation jumps back and can be stuck to the separation effecting cutting device.
  • the publication EP 2 067 702 A1 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1 and in the scope of interest herein a linerless label machine.
  • a carrier tape-less adhesive tape is conveyed through a first and second roller pair and conveyed by means of a suction belt to the products to be labeled.
  • the publication GB 2 263 894 A discloses a labeling device with a suction belt for transporting labels.
  • US 5,624,520 A a labeling system in which by means of a laser cut labels are moved over a convex curved conveying path by suction in the direction of a label dispensing position.
  • the invention relates to a device for feeding labels to a container to be labeled, comprising a label tape feed, provided by means of a continuous label tape is, a first transfer device against which at least a partial length of the label strip comes to rest, wherein the first transfer means for generating a slip between this part length of the label strip and the first transfer means is formed, with at least one cutting device for separating a partial length of the label strip to produce a Label and with at least one second transfer device, against which at least a portion of the separated part length of the label strip comes to rest before separation, wherein the second transfer means for effecting holding or. Fixing forces is formed on this portion of the label tape, for generating a slip between this portion of the label tape and the second transfer means and after the separation
  • the essential aspect of the invention is that the second transfer device is formed at least in sections as a linear conveying transfer device.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that the increase in the tensile forces exerted on the free end of the label tape by the holding or fixing forces exerted by the second transfer device and the transfer devices moved with slippage under the label strip are thereby reduced can that the wrap angle, ie the angular range in which a partial length of the label strip circumferentially rests against drum or roller-like transfer means is reduced.
  • a linear conveying transfer device i. a transfer device on which the label strip is conveyed in a straight line, the wrap angle and thus the increase in the forces acting on the label tape forces can be minimized such that impermissible variations in length of the separated labels from the label strip can be effectively avoided.
  • the first and / or second transfer device is designed as a linearly conveying transfer device, at least in the transfer area, in which the transfer of the separated label from the first transfer device to the second transfer device takes place.
  • the free end of the label tape is before the separation of a label by the effected by the first and / or second transfer means holding or. Fixing forces and the slip held on tension, wherein the label tape with a first portion of the label later separated from the first transfer means and with a further portion of the label later separated from the second transfer means.
  • the second transfer devices Due to the design of the second transfer devices as linear conveying transfer devices in the transfer area between these two transfer devices, a reversal caused by the use of drum or roller-type transfer devices, in particular an S-shaped deflection of the label strip in the transfer area is significantly reduced, so that the increase in tensile forces the advance of the free end of the label tape to the second transfer device or the tensile forces exerted on the free end of the label web are minimized.
  • the second transfer device is designed as a belt conveyor.
  • a loop-shaped conveyor belt is stretched over at least one pair of preferably roller-like support rollers out and thereby driven circumferentially.
  • straight-line conveyor belt areas form on which the linear conveyance of the label strip can take place between the carrier rollers.
  • the first and / or second transfer means for generating the holding or. Fixing forces formed by suction of a partial length of the label strip or the separated label.
  • the transfer devices preferably have openings which can be acted upon by negative pressure, so that when the label strip is in contact with these openings, suction and thus fixation thereof take place.
  • the first transfer device has a transport speed that is greater than the feed rate of the label strip through the label strip feed. Due to the higher transport speed of the first transfer device compared to the label tape feed, there is a slip between the first transfer device and the label strip section, which bears against the first transfer device, which holds the label strip between the label strip supply and the first transfer device.
  • the second transfer device has a transport speed that is equal to or greater than the transport speed of the first transfer device.
  • the label tape is also held between the first transfer means and the second transfer means to tension, wherein the second Transfer device has a slip against the label tape.
  • the transport speed of the second transfer device is greater than the feed rate of the label feed, so that after the separation, the separated label is moved at a higher speed than the free end of the label strip. As a result, a time window is created in which the application of the label can be done on the container to be labeled.
  • the first transfer device is a transfer drum driven in rotation about a rotation axis, against which the label strip abuts, in sections, peripherally in a defined angular range. Due to the at least partial enclosure of the first transfer device by the label tape this is deflected by a defined angle in its direction of movement.
  • the first transfer device is part of a cutting device and / or the first transfer device is formed with a cutting device for separating the label from the continuous label strip.
  • the first transfer device is designed as a cutting drum. By means of this cutting device, a desired length of the label tape can be separated in the region of the free end, whereby this separation creates a label to be attached to a container. After separation, the separated label is preferably further transported by the second transfer means and fed to the container to be labeled.
  • a gluing device is provided in the region of the second transfer device, by means of which glue is applied to the back side of the label.
  • the gluing device may be formed as a spray gluing device, i. the glue is applied by spraying or spraying the label with glue.
  • the essential aspect of the method according to the invention is that a partial length of the label tape is linearly conveyed by the second transfer device.
  • a portion of the label tape is linearly conveyed, at least in the transfer area, in which the transfer of the separated label from the first transfer device to the second transfer device.
  • the first transfer device is rotationally driven as a transfer drum about a rotation axis.
  • the continuous label strip is cut in the region of the first transfer device, in order to separate individual labels.
  • Transfer roller or transfer drum in the sense of the invention means a transfer device which has a circular cross-section and is driven to rotate about a rotation axis.
  • FIG. 1 a device according to the invention for feeding labels.
  • label tape 4 is provided as a continuous tape on which a plurality of individual labels to be separated by cutting successively, ie, for example, directly successive or spaced apart from each other at a certain distance.
  • a label tape feeder 3 for example, a Label tape drive 3.1 in the form of a counter-rotating pair of rollers, through which the label tape 4 is passed, has, the label tape 4 via a first and second transfer means 5, 7 out.
  • the first transfer unit 5 is formed in the embodiment shown as a transfer roller or transfer drum and driven counterclockwise.
  • the label tape 4 comes to the periphery of the first transfer device 5 to the plant and wraps it in a partial area with a wrap angle ⁇ .
  • a second transfer device 7 which is designed as a transfer belt, i. at least in sections has transfer areas in which a linear, straightforward promotion of the label tape 4 i. without curvature of the same takes place.
  • the transfer device 7 is formed for example by a loop or loop-like, endless belt, which is formed on at least two support rollers 7.1, 7.2 stretched circumferentially. Between the support rollers 7.1, 7.2 form linear belt areas 7.3, 7.4, wherein at least one such straight belt area 7.4 of the promotion of a partial length of the label strip 4 is used.
  • the first and / or second transfer device 5, 7 is designed for sucking the portion of the label strip 4 that is in communication with the transfer devices 5, 7.
  • a vacuum source or vacuum source (not shown) is provided, which is connected to the transfer means 5, 7 and which exerts holding or fixing forces on the label strip 4 by suction of air through openings provided on the transfer means 5, 7, which fixation of the label strip 4 with respect to the transfer means 5, 7 effect.
