Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling machine with a product conveyor for transporting products to be labeled, a label conveyor for supplying self-adhesive labels in respective Etikettierpositionen relative to the products on the product conveyor, and at least one movable in a space between conveyor elements of the label conveyor arranged pressure member for lifting the labels from the label conveyor and pressing them against respective label receiving surfaces of the products.
  • the products to be labeled can be, for example, food packaging which is produced in a packaging machine by deep-drawing a film, filled with contents such as sausage slices or the like, and then sealed.
  • the label receiving surface is often formed by the bottom surface of the packaging containers.
  • the label conveyor is disposed below the product conveyor so as to transport the labels in a direction transverse to the conveying direction of the product conveyor.
  • the labels are then placed on the label conveyor in a timely manner during each delivery cycle of the product conveyor by means of a label dispenser located at one end of the label conveyor and delivered to a position in which each label is located below the label receiving surface of the associated packaging container is located. With the help of the An horrorgans the labels are then pressed against the bottom surface of the respective packaging container.
  • the conveying elements of the label conveyor can be transport belts arranged parallel to one another and driven intermittently together.
  • a plurality of plate-shaped pressure members are usually arranged, which are raised together to lift the labels from the label conveyor and press against the label receiving surfaces.
  • the packaging containers are arranged in a plurality of parallel tracks on the product conveyor, so that the pressing members press several labels simultaneously against the bottom surfaces of the packaging containers during each labeling operation.
  • labeling lacks the necessary back pressure for the pressure element. This can result in the label not sticking to the bottom surface of the packaging container or dropping off again and then falling back on the label conveyor and interfering with the subsequent operation. Similar problems may also generally occur in cases where, for whatever reason, the label receiving surfaces of the products are not at the same height.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a labeling machine, which offers a higher reliability in sticking the labels to the individual products.
  • the pressure member has at least one directed to a label receiving surface, connected to a compressed air source nozzle, and that a control device is adapted to cause during each pressing operation of the An horrorgans the delivery of an air blast from the nozzle.
  • the invention makes it possible to exert an additional pressing force on the label during the labeling process with the aid of the compressed air blast from the nozzle, so that it is securely attached to the label receiving surface even in the case of a lack of counterpressure.
  • a reliable attachment of the label to the label receiving surface is possible in this way, even if the label receiving surface is not in its desired position and thus at maximum stroke of the Antikorgans still a gap between the Antikorgan and the label supported thereon on the one hand and the label receiving surface on the other , Due to the blast of compressed air, this gap can be bridged, so that the label is "blown" as it were against the product to be labeled.
  • the label with the help of the compressed air blast is fully adhered to the label receiving surface. It is sufficient if the label is attached locally so that it does not fall back within the labeling machine. The complete sticking of the label can then take place at a later time, for example when the individual packaging containers are separated from one another and placed on a support such as a conveyor belt or the like.
  • a plurality of plate-shaped pressure members are provided in the spaces between the conveying elements of the label conveyor.
  • at least one of these pressure elements is equipped with one or more nozzles for emitting the air blast.
  • the nozzles may be arranged in a row along the upper edge of the pressure member which extends below the center of the labels.
  • the compressed air source may be a compressed air source of a pneumatic system, which is usually present anyway in a labeling machine, for example for a pneumatic lifting drive of the pressure organs.
  • the control device then has an electronically controlled valve, through which the nozzles of the Antikorgans be connected to the compressed air source.
  • a pressure accumulator is provided between the valve and the compressed air source, which contains a certain volume of pressurized air and, when the valve opens and compressed air is discharged through the nozzles of the Anyakorgans, dampens the pressure drop in the upstream pneumatic system.
  • labeling machine has a product conveyor 10, with the products to be labeled 12, 14 in several parallel tracks intermittently in the direction perpendicular to the plane in Fig. 1 be transported.
  • the products 12, 14 are food packages that have been produced in a packaging machine, not shown, by deep-drawing a film 16, filled with contents 18 and then sealed at the top with a sealed cover film 20.
  • the individual packaging containers are still connected by parts of the film 16 and the cover 20 together. The separation of the individual containers takes place only at a later stage during the packaging process.
  • the product conveyor 10 is formed by conveyor belts 22 with which the longitudinal edges of the film webs are held and transported.
  • a label conveyor 24 is arranged, with which during each delivery cycle of the product conveyor 10 one of the number of tracks of the products 12, 14 corresponding number of self-adhesive labels 26 are supplied in labeling positions, in which each label below a through the bottom of the respective Packaging container formed label receiving surface 28 is located.
  • the label conveyor 24 is formed by a plurality of parallel endless conveyor belts 30 which extend in the direction transverse to the transport direction of the product conveyor 10 between two shafts 32, at least one of which is drivable.
  • a label dispenser 34 of known type is arranged, with which the labels 26 are given on time to the label conveyor, so that the labels have the appropriate distances from each other when the label conveyor in the in Fig. 1 stops shown position.
  • a plate-shaped pressure member 36 is arranged, which in Fig. 1 is shown in a section running within the plane of the plate.
  • the pressure member 36 has a trapezoidal, widening upward contour, and its horizontal upper edge is located in the Fig. 1 shown slightly below the upper surface of the label conveyor 24, so that the transport of the labels 26 is not hindered.
  • the label conveyor 24 is held on a frame 38 on which a pneumatic cylinder 40 is mounted. With the help of the pneumatic cylinder 40, the pressing member 36 is extendable upward to lift the labels 26 from the label conveyor 24 and press against the label receiving surfaces 28 of the products 12, 14, as in Fig. 2 is shown.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a situation is shown in which one of the products to be labeled, namely the product 14, is defective. Due to a mistake, no contents 18 were placed in this packaging container, with the result that the bottom of this packaging container was not pushed down and therefore the label receiving surface 28 formed on the bottom of the bottom is in a higher position than the other containers. As Fig. 2 Therefore, between the label receiving surface 28 of the product 14 and the upper edge of the pressure member 36 remains a gap, so that the local label 26 can not be pressed against the product 14, while the rest of the products 12, the labels are pressed correctly.
  • the pressing member 36 has in its upper edge a row of nozzles 42 which are connected via a channel system 44 formed in the pressure member (only in FIG Fig. 1 shown) compressed air source 46 are connected.
  • the compressed air source 46 is in the example shown part of a pneumatic system through which a valve 48 and the pneumatic cylinder 40 is supplied with compressed air.
  • Another valve 50 allows the introduction of compressed air into two flexible hoses 52, which are connected to two symmetrically arranged compressed air inlets 54 of the conduit system 44 in the pressure member 36, so that all nozzles 42 can be supplied substantially uniformly with compressed air.
  • an accumulator 56 is arranged in the example shown, which serves to dampen the pressure drop when opening the valve 50.
  • valves 48 and 50 are controlled by an electronic controller 58 which also communicates with or is integrated with the drive control for the label conveyor 24 and the product conveyor 10 so that the pressure member 36 operates synchronously with the power stroke of the label conveyor 24 and the product conveyor 10 can.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show this condition.
  • Fig. 4 It can also be seen that, in addition to the pressure element 36, there are also a plurality of further plate-shaped pressure elements 60 which are arranged symmetrically with respect to the pressure element 36 in the intermediate spaces between the conveyor belts 30.
  • the pressing members 60 have the same outline shape as the pressing member 36 and are raised and lowered together with these by the pneumatic cylinder 40. However, they may have a smaller thickness than the pressure member 36, since they contain no nozzles 42 and, accordingly, no conduit system 44.
  • the single row of nozzles of the pressure member 36 is sufficient.
  • valve 50 is closed again, and the pressure members 36, 60 are lowered, so that a new power stroke can begin.
