Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for printing closures of sealed containers.
- the known methods and devices have in common that they always determine the position of the container as a whole and thus the position of the closure based on the determination of the position of a label or a part of the container and depending on the printing device is controlled to the closure of the To print on container.
- the object to be solved is therefore to specify a method and a device for printing closures of sealed containers, which enable a reliable and correct printing of the closure.
- the device for printing closures of sealed containers comprises a transport path for transporting the containers, wherein a detection unit and a printing unit for printing the closure of a container are arranged successively in the transport direction, the detection unit individually determining the position of the closure transversely to the transport direction for each container and transmit a signal indicative of the position to a control unit associated with the detection unit and the printing unit, the control unit being configured to control the printing unit to apply printing ink for printing the shutter as a function of the position on the shutter.
- the containers may in particular be bottles, here preferably bottles made of glass or plastic, in particular PET. Even coated containers can be printed with the device.
- the coated containers may also be bottles of the mentioned or other materials.
- containers provided with labels can be printed.
- all containers that are provided with a detachable closure can be printed with the device, ie the closure can be printed.
- the closures may be metal or plastic closures.
- closures that include both metallic and plastic components such as PET components are conceivable.
- the device can also be used to print on containers which are closed with a closure consisting of natural, in particular organic materials or comprising the latter.
- closures that are additionally provided with a seal, label or a metal foil as is common for example in sparkling wine bottles, wine bottles or beer bottles, can be printed. Even larger closures, such as screw caps of yogurt cups, can be printed.
- the position of the closure is determined to control the printing unit at least transversely to the transport direction for each container, slight variations in the shape of the container are compensated and the closure can be printed correctly. Further, since the deviations of each container may be different from the ideal form of any other container, the determination of this position in each individual container ensures reliable printing of each container.
- control unit for the purpose of controlling the application of the printing ink, is adapted to software-store a print image for the shutter stored in a memory at the position to obtain a print image to be applied and to supply the printing unit based on the print image to be applied for discharging the printing ink Taxes.
- the applied print image using the control unit, which may be designed, for example, as a computer or the like, initially digital, so software-based adapted to the position.
- the stored printed image or this associated information which are transferred to the printing unit and cause the activation of the individual nozzles of the printing unit, are changed so that the position at which the printing image-forming printing ink is ejected from the printing unit, the position corresponds to the closure on the container.
- the printing unit can be stationary, i. So be formed immobile relative to the transport path and yet a reliable printing of the printed images are guaranteed on the closures. Since the software-based modification of the printed image can be done faster than a shift of the printing unit relative to the transport path, this embodiment can be simultaneously increased throughput, with which the closures of the container can be printed.
- the printing unit is a digital printing unit and comprises a print head with a print area whose width transverse to the transport direction is greater than the diameter of a closure to be printed and at most equal to the width of the transport path.
- the printing unit may be formed stationary.
- the detection unit comprises an optical system for capturing an image, an illumination device for illuminating at least part of a container transported in the transport path, and an optical body assigned to the optical system for diverting rays of the illumination device reflected by the container into the optical system , If necessary, in addition to the printing of the closure of the container necessary information about the container can also be considered.
- the illumination device can emit light in the visible range and the optical body has a refractive index greater than 1 or consists of reflective material.
- visible characteristics of the container can be used in determining the printed image to be applied to the closure. This can increase the acceptance of the product.
- the optical body may be arranged concentrically to the optics and have an omission whose center lies on the optical axis of the optics.
- control unit is configured to rotate a print image stored in a memory for the shutter software-based, depending on the reflected light to produce a printed image to be applied depending on the position of a label on the container and the printing unit based on the applied print image for discharging the printing ink to control.
- the device can not only ensure that the closure is even completely provided with a printed image, but that this printed image also relative to other on the container or container closure features such as the label, Embossings, recessed grips or press seams, clip closure position, geometry of the closure or elevations and / or depressions in the form of, for example, symbols is correctly aligned.
- the containers are transported along a transport path and a detection unit is inserted.
- the unit determines the position of the closure transversely to the transport direction for each container, wherein furthermore a printing unit applies printing ink for producing a printed image on the closure, the application of the printing ink based on a signal output by the detection unit and indicative of the position of the closure transversely to the transport direction controlled by a control unit. This ensures that the entire print image on the shutter is applied both correctly and completely.
- the detection unit optically determines the position.
- the containers are transported at random, at least with respect to their position transversely to the transport path. Since the position of the closure is determined transversely to the transport path anyway to print on the closure, so devices that ensure the most accurate movement of the container transversely to the transport direction eliminated, and possibly the throughput of containers can be increased.
- a print image stored in a memory for the shutter is software-based adapted to the position to obtain a printed image to be applied and controlled the printing unit based on the applied print image for discharging the printing ink becomes.
- the software-based manipulation of the printed image can sometimes be faster than changing the position of the printing unit itself by mechanical means, so that it is possible even at high throughput or high speed of the container to be printed to customize the application of the printing ink for each container.
- the sealed containers to be printed have a label and a lighting device illuminates the containers at least in a region which has at least part of the label and light reflected from the region through an optical body of an optical system of the detection unit is supplied.
- the printing unit is controlled by the control unit based on the reflected light supplied to the detection unit for discharging the printing ink.
- the printed image or design depending on the label, in particular the contents of the label be applied to the container.
- a printed image stored in a memory for the shutter is software-based, depending on the reflected light rotated, scaled in size, or adapted to the geometry of the shutter to apply a printed image depending on the position of the label on the container and the printing unit is controlled based on the applied print image for discharging the printing ink.
- the printed image is aligned with respect to the label applied to the closure.

- Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of another embodiment of the method for printing the closure.
- FIG. 1 shows a device 100 for printing on closures 131 of closed containers 130.
- the device comprises a transport path 101 in which the closed containers 130 are transported along a transport direction (Pfeii).
- the transport path thus defines a transport direction for the containers 130.
- the transport path can be designed as a conveyor belt. Other embodiments, for example, a transport of containers on stand plates is conceivable.
- the transport path does not have to be linear, but can also be provided as part of a machine designed as a rotary machine with a plurality of container receptacles.
- the device 00 may be part of a container treatment plant for treating containers.
- the container treatment plant can, in addition to the device 100, further container treatment machines, in particular a filler, a capper and a labeling machine include. These container handling machines may all be located upstream of the apparatus 100. However, one or more may be provided downstream of the device. If the device is integrated in such a container treatment plant, it is preferred if not only the capper but also a labeling machine or printing machine for labeling / printing of the container are arranged upstream of the device.
- a detection unit 102 is arranged in the area of the transport path 101.
- This detection unit is arranged so that it can determine at least the position of the shutter 131 of each container 130 transversely to the transport direction.
- the detection unit 102 may be formed, for example, as a 2-D, 3-D or line scan camera and be arranged above the transport path 101, wherein the optics of the camera points in the direction of the transport path.
- the distance between the detection unit and the transport path is selected such that sealed containers 130 can be transported in the transport path 101 under the camera.
- the detection unit need not be designed as a camera, but in any case is designed so that it can determine the position of the shutter transversely to the transport direction. This means that the detection unit can determine how the closure is positioned on the container relative to a reference, for example the center of the transport path 101.
- a printing unit 103 is arranged, which can print on the closure 131 of a container 130 conveyed in the transport path 101.
- the printing unit 103 can be designed, for example, as a digital printhead, in particular as an inkjet printhead, and can apply printing ink to the shutter 131. Preference is given to all digitally controllable, non-contact printing methods, in particular drop-on-demand methods and corresponding print heads.
- the printing ink is applied so that a predetermined print image on the shutter 131 is formed. It is understood that further printing units can be provided one after the other in the transport direction. In particular, each printing unit can be designed to dispense printing ink with a different color, so that a multicolored image can be produced by using a plurality of printing units.
- the detection unit 102 and the printing unit 103 is associated with a control unit 105.
- This control unit receives, on the one hand, a signal of the detection unit 102 which is indicative of the position of a shutter 131 transversely and also longitudinally or parallel to the transport direction.
- this signal can be indicative of the distance of the center point of the closure from the center of the transport path 01.
- This signal is used by the control unit 105, to control the printing unit 103 so as to discharge printing ink in response to the signal so that the printing ink is applied to the shutter 131 and a printed image is formed on the shutter.
- the printing unit 103 is designed for this purpose as a digital printing unit and is also arranged stationarily in relation to the transport path 101.
- the printing unit may comprise a print head having a print area extending transversely to the transport direction in a region which is larger is as the diameter of the lock. It is particularly preferred if the printing area transverse to the transport direction is as wide as the transport path 101.
- a further detection unit 104 may be arranged, which determines the position of the container in the transport direction. This can also be advantageously used in combination with the detection unit 102 in order to more accurately determine the position of the closure not only transversely to the transport direction but also in the transport direction, in particular in relation to the container.
- the further detection unit 104 may be formed, for example, as a light barrier, which detects the passage of a certain point of the transport path through a container.
- This further detection unit 104 can also be connected to the control unit 105 and transmit to it a signal indicative of the position of the containers along the transport path. In addition to the signal of the detection unit 102 used for the control of the printing unit 103, the control unit 105 can also use this signal.
- a treatment unit for treating the container or at least the closure is arranged upstream of the device or at least upstream of the printing unit 103.
- This treatment unit can be designed as a pyrolysis device, plasma coating device or corona treatment device.
- the closures can also be treated with such a treatment unit prior to the application of the closures on the container, so that the treatment unit can be provided in a capper, which is arranged upstream of the device 100.
- the surface of the Preferably, the closure is treated so that it is more wettable with the printing ink than the untreated surface of the closure.
- the adhesion of the printing ink to the surface should also be improved by treating the surface with respect to the untreated surface. This can be achieved, for example, by reducing or increasing the surface tension of the surface to be printed to a specific value by treating the closure.
- the treatment unit is preferably arranged downstream of the labeling machine and upstream of the device 100.
- a drying or aftertreatment device can be arranged downstream of the device 100 or at least downstream of the printing unit 103, which dries or treats the applied printing ink on the closure.
- a UV tunnel or infrared tunnel can be provided with one or more corresponding radiation sources.
- individual ones of these radiation sources can also be arranged downstream of the printing unit 103 in the region of the transport path.
- the transport of the containers in the treatment unit does not have to be one-lane.
- a transport device, which leads the containers along or through the treatment unit, can also be designed as a mass transporter.
- Figures 2a and 2b show in an exaggerated manner the deviation of an actual, to be printed and sealed container 130 compared with an ideal mold 230.
- Figure 2a a side view of a corresponding container 130 in the transport path 101 is shown.
- the container 230 is a body essentially rotationally symmetrical about an axis L.
- the containers as bottles, in particular glass bottles or PET bottles, are intended here.
- non-rotationally symmetrical containers may also have a form deviating from an imaginary ideal form.
- a container is assumed whose ideal shape is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the axis L.
- all of the methods and devices described herein may be applied to containers whose associated ideal shape is not rotationally symmetric.
- the method makes it possible to convey the containers freely on the belt without guiding elements such as railings for guiding the containers being positioned with millimeter precision. belt pairs must take over the centering of the container to the print head. This has the advantage that conversion work in the production change from one container shape to another container shape can be largely avoided.
- the axis L and the center of the closure 231 coincide.
- the axis L and the center of the closure 231 coincide.
- This ideal case refers to transport routes whose transport surface, on which the containers are positioned during transport, lies exactly in the horizontal plane.
- the horizontal bevelled transport surfaces however, the above statements can be transferred directly to the case provided ideal transport of the container.
- the angle which the axis L encloses with the horizontal or the horizontal may be mentioned.
- Ideal transport of ideal containers along a beveled transport path always involves the axis L of each container with the horizontal or the vertical at the same angle.
- FIG. 2b The deviation of the actual position of the shutter 131 compared to the ideal position 231 is shown in FIG. 2b.
- the position of the shutter 131 of the container 130 in the transport path 101 is shown here with respect to the detection unit 102, which detects the position of the shutter 131.
- FIG. 2b is a plan view of the transport path and the container 130 located therein through the detection unit 102. It can be assumed to a good approximation that the position of the closure or of the container on the conveyor belt 131 is between the two Detection unit 102 and the printing unit 103 is not changed, so that the detection unit 102nd determined position of the shutter 131 can be used to control the printing unit.
- the printhead is in close proximity to the detection unit on the same belt section but not more than 1 m away. It may be advantageous if the band section between the detection unit and the printing unit is rectilinear and the containers experience no acceleration at least in this band section. Thus, it can be prevented that the containers move from the detection unit to the printing unit, ie, slip on the conveyor belt
- FIG. 3 shows a corresponding method.
- the position of the shutter 131 corresponds to the ideal position of the shutter described with reference to Figs. 2a and 2b.
- the control unit may contain a print image 250 in a memory assigned to it.
- This printable which can be stored, for example, in a file, is associated with further information which makes it possible to control the printing unit for discharging the printing ink.
- This additional information relates, in particular, to position information of the print image to be applied to the closure in relation to the printing unit 103.
- This also includes information which makes it possible to control the individual nozzles of a printing unit designed, for example, as a digital printing unit.
- the print image 250 stored in the memory can be used together with the additional information by the control unit to control the printing unit 103.
- the stored print image here corresponds to the applied on the containers print image 260 in terms of its intended position.
- the application of the printed image 250 to be applied according to FIG. 2 a would mean a lower-quality printed image which would not be correctly positioned, for example, with respect to the center of the closure or would not be completely printed on the container.
- the control unit may modify the print image 250 stored in the memory and a print image to be applied to the shutter 131 Generate 251. This is preferably done completely software-based. That is, the original print image 250 is only digitally modified using, for example, a computer or a processor or similar devices.
- the information further associated with the printed image which enable control of the printing unit and in particular of individual printing nozzles, are changed on the basis of the signal obtained by the detection unit.
- the thus obtained, applied print image is then used to control the printing unit 103, which applies the printed image 261 to the closure of the container instead of the Druckbiides 260.
- z-information may also be transmitted to the printhead to compensate for bin height differences such as occur in processing ehrweg PET.
- Particularly advantageous is the use of depth information when the closures to be printed have indentations or elevations, for example a relief.
- the control of the printing unit is merely digitally changed so that the printed image or printing ink is applied as a function of the actual position of the shutter 131. This can be done much faster than a mechanical change in position of the printing unit, so that the throughput of containers can be very high.
- the change in the position of the printed image which is output by the printing unit 103 and ultimately defined by the print image to be applied or the file 251 representative of this for controlling the printing unit, can also be based on the position of the closure in the direction of the transport path be carried out on a corresponding signal of the detection unit 102, but also the detection unit 104.
- a two-dimensional or three-dimensional coordinate system can be used within the control unit 05, in particular a Cartesian coordinate system. Transformations of the print image for generating / for obtaining the printed image to be applied can then take place in this coordinate system by coordinate transformation of the pixels of the printed image.
- the same or a coordinate system connected to the coordinate system by a known transformation can be used.
- the transmission of the x, y, z rotational positions or contour information can take place via a rotary encoder and a controlled or tracked coordinate transfer to the printing module.
- the embodiment as described with reference to FIG. 3 permits an adaptation of the printed image or printing ink applied by the printing unit to translational changes in the position of the printed image.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a container 130 in the transport path 101 which, in addition to the closure 131, also comprises a label 431.
- This label may be attached to at least a portion of the outer surface of the container 130.
- at least one illumination device 421 and / or 422 is provided in the device, which can illuminate the container 130 at least in a region which comprises the label 431.
- the illumination device can emit light in the visible range, for example (441 and 442). This light is reflected from the surface of the container and from the label, in the dashed directions 451 and 452 indicated by the arrow.
- the detection unit 402 which includes a corresponding optics for receiving light and, for example, can be configured as a camera, is associated with an optical body 423.
- the optical body 423 is arranged so that at least a part of the light 451 and 452 reflected by the container penetrates or penetrates through it. Further, the optical body is designed such that it by reflection and / or refraction of the light 451 and 452, this light redirects so that it meets the optics of the detection unit and can be detected there.
- the position of the label on the container and thus its relative orientation in the transport path 101 can then be determined. For example, this relative orientation may be determined with reference to a reference size.
- the reference size can be selected so that the center of the label is located on an ideally positioned container in a plane perpendicular to the transport path extending through the center line of the transport path. Furthermore, this reference size can correspond to the case in which the label points in the transport direction of the container.
- the optical body may comprise an opening or omission 424 whose center or longitudinal axis lies on the optical axis of the optics of the detection unit.
- the opening can be dimensioned so that as many as possible wise occurring displacements of the shutter 131 can be detected transversely to the transport direction of the optics through the opening.
- the opening may have a diameter of 4 cm. Other diameters are conceivable here.
- the edge of the optical body delimiting the omission 424 can be used to advantage, for example to assist in the reflection or refraction of the light reflected from the container into the optic.
- this embodiment is suitable for printing on the closure with regard to any orientation predetermined by a feature of the container and / or closure.
- the printed image can also be applied to the closure as a function of a geometric feature of the container or of the closure and its orientation with respect to a reference orientation or ideal orientation.
- Geometric features include, for example, certain shapes such as edges of the closure or bulges or indentations of the container at a particular location of the container. Basically, these features are symmetry-breaking features that define a certain preferred direction.
- the pressure unit can also be controlled in this embodiment as a function of the position and orientation of the container or closure determined by the detection unit.
- ⁇ corresponds to the angle by which the label is rotated with respect to any reference but fixed. This is as it were with a rotation of the container with the label to this reference.
- the center line of the transport route In the embodiment shown in Figure 5 is used as a reference, the center line of the transport route.
- a coincidence of the reference with the orientation of the container means here that the center of the label lies on the center line of the transport path and has the label in the transport direction of the container.
- an imaginary line of the axis of rotation of the container is enclosed by the center of the label, this line runs parallel to the plane in which the containers are transported, one non-zero. NEN angle ⁇ with the center line, the orientation of the container does not match the reference. It can also serve any other reference as a reference.
- control unit may store the image 550 stored in the memory as a printed image 560 to be applied.
- the method according to FIG. 3 can be used to take into account the position of the shutter in the control of the printing unit.
- the printed image stored in the memory of the control unit is modified analogously to FIG. 3 in order to control the printing unit in dependence on the displacement of the shutter 131 with respect to the reference position.
- the printed image stored in the memory is modified depending on the angle a by which the label 431 is rotated with respect to the reference position.
- the print image is rotated digitally or software-based, so that the orientation of the printed image corresponds to the orientation of the label on the container to be printed. If the angle ⁇ is, for example, 25 °, then the printed image stored in the memory is also rotated by 25 ° in the same direction.
- the two transformations of the print image stored in the memory can be carried out simultaneously or successively on the printed image in order to determine the printed image to be applied.
- the known laws for affine transformation can be used in two dimensions.
- A is the rotation matrix in two-dimensional Cartesian space (using the angle of rotation a about which the container is rotated with respect to the reference) and s is the displacement vector corresponding to the displacement s. It is assumed without restriction of generality that the center of the coordinate system used here in the Center of the printed image is located (central affine figure). If only the displacement of the closure transversely to the transport direction is taken into account for the determination of the print image to be printed, the component of the vector J parallel to the transport direction of the container is always 0.
- This calculation can be carried out for each original pixel of the print image stored in the memory, and thus the print image to be applied can be determined for a closure or container which has been displaced and rotated as desired with respect to the ideal position.
- This transformation can be carried out more effectively, for example, by a processor of the control unit optimized for parallel computing (for example a graphics processor). But also the controllers commonly used for control in control units can be used for this because they are ultimately floating point numbers.
- the embodiment described in Figure 4 is also suitable for printing closures of containers that have already been supplied to a distribution center in a container treatment plant, in such a distribution center many, even different containers may be present. Since the device according to the embodiment described in FIG. 4 can ultimately recognize not only the position but also the content of the label, the printing unit can not only be controlled such that the position and orientation of the printed image to be applied to the closure at the position of the closure but the printed image itself can be selected based on the obtained information about orientation, content and size of the label software based.
