Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a labeling device for a container treatment device, in particular a container treatment device with a container throughput of at least 10,000, preferably at least 50,000 containers per hour.
  • container treatment devices are, for example, container filling machines or (container) labeling machines and are used in the beverage industry for filling or equipping large quantities of beverage containers such as bottles, cans or KEGs made of metal, glass or plastic.
  • the subject matter of the present application is an improved labeling device for equipping beverage containers, the labeling device having a label feed with which the labels are fed and separated.
  • a label supply may include, for example, a continuous roll of interconnected labels, a cutter, such as a cutter roller, for separating the labels from the continuous web, and a False Drum for transferring the separated labels onto a vacuum drum of the labeler.
  • Such labeling machines are also known in an embodiment without a transfer drum from the prior art.
  • the vacuum drum contains space for the individual labels arranged equidistantly around its circumference.
  • the recording locations have, for example, vacuum pads to attach the labels to a suction surface of the vacuum using a vacuum place.
  • the vacuum drum has a vacuum device which is designed for connection to an external vacuum source, for example.
  • the vacuum drum contains a receiving area for receiving the labels from the label supply, e.g. from a transfer drum, and a delivery area, which is designed to protrude into the movement path of a transport device of the container treatment device or to touch it in order to place the label there To pass container that is in or on a transport station of the transport device.
  • the transport device can be a linear conveyor or a rotary conveyor.
  • the containers are usually rotatably held in the transport locations of the transport device.
  • a gluing device for example a glue roller, is usually also arranged between the receiving area and the delivery area, with which the reverse side of the label is completely or partially coated with an adhesive after it has been received in the receiving areas, before the labels are placed on the containers, e.g Bottles are applied.
  • the vacuum drum holding positions are connected to the vacuum device so that in the contact area of the holding positions the vacuum can be transferred from a vacuum space of the holding position to the suction surface of the holding position via either a porous intermediate layer or a perforated plate.
  • the vacuum device serves to generate a vacuum at the receiving locations via a first sector of the vacuum drum, which extends in the direction of rotation of the vacuum drum from the receiving area to the delivery area.
  • this document provides for the supply of labels to be operated as evenly as possible. According to the technical teaching of this document, those labels that have not been removed from the containers are removed from the vacuum drum after passing the transfer or labeling position, so that subsequently every receiving space for the labels is free again.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is that this procedure leads in particular to an increased consumption of labels and to an increased cleaning effort.
  • the vacuum device is designed to generate a vacuum at the receiving locations (also) via a second sector of the vacuum drum.
  • the second sector of the vacuum drum extends in the direction of rotation of the vacuum drum from the delivery area to the receiving area.
  • the supply of labels to the labeling device can be controlled as a function of the signal from a container detection device for missing containers.
  • the container detection device can be assigned to the labeling device or to the container treatment machine.
  • the container detection device can also be a device that is separate from the labeling device or the container treatment device, e.g. belongs to a separate monitoring and/or control unit.
  • the term “container detection device” is to be understood as meaning any suitable device that makes it possible, directly or indirectly, to detect a missing container.
  • the missing container is particularly preferably recognized before the actual labeling machine. It's in In this context, it is essential that the containers can be fed to a labeling machine either in a mass flow, i.e. in an unordered manner, or in a fixed (assigned) order and cycled, for example in the neck handling process.
  • a direct detection can take place, for example, by actively searching for and detecting gaps in the container flow.
  • An indirect detection can take place, for example, by the fact that containers are searched for and detected, and the absence of an expected container is detected as a gap.
  • the container detection device of the container treatment device contains, for example, at least one weighing device and/or at least one optical sensor, as a result of which it can be easily signaled which transport location of the transport device is not occupied by a container.
  • Such imperfections can occur, e.g. due to glass breakage, blowing or filling errors or due to the sorting out of containers before labelling.
  • the information about a defect running towards the labeling machine can also be transmitted directly by the machine control of a container treatment machine that is connected upstream, seen in the conveying direction. Furthermore, it is possible that the information about a defect is also transmitted to the labeling machine by the control of the overall system.
  • the transmitted information preferably not only contains the content that a defect is approaching the labeling machine, but also the content when the defect reaches the transfer area between the vacuum drum and the container.
  • the container detection device If the container detection device now detects a missing container, the device sends a so-called missing signal to the container treatment machine designed as a labeling machine. Sending can also take place indirectly, i.e. involving a higher-level system control.
  • a vacuum is applied to the receiving stations of the vacuum drum via the second sector of the vacuum drum by means of the vacuum device.
  • the vacuum is preferably only switched on or applied when the labeling device receives a signal about an empty transport location.
  • the vacuum is particularly preferably only switched on or applied when the empty transport location reaches the transfer position.
  • the label which would actually be intended for the container in the empty transport station, is therefore not ejected in the position of the transfer point to the container, but instead remains attached to the receiving station in the second sector due to the vacuum.
  • the label feed is now controlled in such a way that no further label is fed to this receiving location of the vacuum drum.
  • the only disadvantage of this arrangement is that the label, which runs completely around the vacuum drum, is coated a second time with glue by the gluing device, for example a glue roller.
  • the 2nd gluing for the label can be prevented very easily by a corresponding control signal from the machine or system control to the gluing device.
  • the glue roller could be moved briefly out of the contact area by means of a control signal from the machine or system control and a corresponding actuating mechanism when the transport location in question, already occupied with a glued label, of the vacuum drum reaches its effective area , so that another application of glue does not take place.
  • the components to be moved can be moved more slowly or with sufficient lead time, so that these components are slowed down or stopped to the extent mentioned above even when the throughput of the container treatment machine is high and can be approached or moved again.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to compensate for the absence of a container in a transport device of the container treatment device through the adapted activity of the labeling device, even in the high-performance range.
  • the vacuum drum can thus continue to run uninterruptedly, regardless of the occurrence of empty transport locations in the transport device, which enables labeling at very high throughputs.
  • the labeling device preferably has a controller which can be configured separately in connection with the labeling device or integrated into the controller of the container treatment device.
  • the vacuum device can preferably be controlled as a function of the container detection device of the container treatment device and/or the machine or system control, which has the advantage that a vacuum only has to be generated in the second sector of the vacuum drum if there is actually an empty or unoccupied transport location in the transport device of the container treatment device is detected. This is important because there is a cost associated with maintaining a vacuum. It is therefore advantageous to generate the vacuum in the second sector of the vacuum drum only when required.
  • the label supply has a label store, such as an endless belt with labels, a cutting device with e.g. a cutting roller and a rotating transfer drum for receiving the separated labels and for delivering the separated labels to the vacuum drum.
  • a label feed has proven to be advantageous and reliable, in particular for very fast-running labeling devices.
  • the receiving places of the vacuum drum are equipped with so-called vacuum pads, so that the vacuum in a vacuum chamber in the device can be homogeneously distributed on a suction surface of the receiving places for the labels.
  • the labels lie evenly and firmly over their entire surface on the suction surface of the vacuum drum.
  • each receiving place is connected to a base plate arranged axially normal to the axis of rotation of the vacuum drum, such that a vacuum space of each receiving place is connected to a respective perforation in the base plate.
  • the perforations of the entire receiving places are preferably arranged in a circle in the base plate, namely coaxially to the axis of rotation of the vacuum drum and in particular parallel to the axis of rotation.
  • the base plate rotates together with the vacuum drum's mounting positions.
  • a non-rotating control plate of the vacuum device is arranged parallel to the base plate and resting against the base plate, which control plate has a first vacuum channel which extends annularly in the region of the arrangement of the perforations extends in the first sector between the receiving area and the dispensing area and which is open to the base plate.
  • the vacuum device has a second vacuum channel, which extends in the direction of rotation of the vacuum drum in the second sector between the delivery area and the receiving area. This second vacuum channel can either be permanently connected to a vacuum or only when the labeling device is informed by a corresponding signal that a container is missing or that the transport location in the transport device is empty.
  • the first vacuum channel is permanently under vacuum and is responsible for adhering the labels between the pickup area and the delivery area of the vacuum drum.
  • a glue roller is preferably also arranged in this sector, which then applies glue to the radially outer rear side of each label received at the receiving locations of the vacuum drum.
  • the first and second vacuum channels overlap at least partially in the dispensing area and/or in the receiving area, preferably in both areas.
  • This has the advantage that if no vacuum is generated in the second sector of the vacuum drum, the vacuum in the receiving area slowly increases and slowly decreases in the delivery area. If a vacuum is also generated at the receiving locations in the second sector by the vacuum device, the vacuum is undiminished in the receiving area as well as in the delivery area, since the two vacuum channels overlap there. Therefore, the vacuum does not drop in the delivery area, which ensures that the label in the delivery area is not delivered to an empty, unoccupied transport location of the transport device. The label is thus guided further by means of the vacuum device over the sector between the delivery area and the receiving area, so that it can be delivered to a container in the transport device with the next rotation.
  • the receiving area of the vacuum drum is at least partially connected to a compressed air source in the discharge area.
  • a compressed air source in the discharge area.
  • the opening and associated with vacuum the openings connected to the compressed air source can be arranged alternately, so that in the delivery area the labels can be easily detached from the suction surface of the receiving area with a short pressure pulse from the compressed air source.
  • the air pressure source thus compensates for the vacuum on the suction surface of the mounting location. This increases the reliability when the label is delivered to a container running in the transport device of the container treatment device.
  • a compressed air connection e.g. a valve between the vacuum space of the receiving location and the compressed air source, can preferably be controlled as a function of the signal from the container detection device. If the labeling device detects by means of this signal that a transport station of the transport device is unoccupied, the compressed air pulse is not given, so that the label remains stuck to the suction surface of the receiving station and is only released on a container in a transport station of the transport device during the next rotation of the vacuum drum becomes.
  • the invention also relates to a container treatment device with at least one transport device for transporting the containers, at least one labeling device of the type mentioned above and preferably at least one container detection device for detecting the presence or absence of containers in transport locations of the transport device.
  • Such a container treatment device can, for example, be a labeling machine.
  • This container treatment device according to the invention enables the containers to be labeled even at very high speeds, for example more than 10,000 containers per hour, in particular more than 50,000 containers per hour.
  • the vacuum drum of the labeling device is not stopped when there is an empty space in the transport device, but continues to run, so that the label intended for the missing container is only transferred to a container with the next revolution of the vacuum drum.
  • the label feed is correspondingly time-shifted for a short time at the occupied location exposed, which is easily possible due to the lead time and the lower masses or inertial forces prevailing there.
  • the invention also relates to a method according to claim 13 for feeding labels in a container treatment device of the above type.
  • a vacuum is generated at least temporarily in a second sector of the vacuum drum at the receiving locations of the vacuum drum, which second sector extends in the direction of rotation from the delivery area to the receiving area of the Vacuum drum extends.
  • the label feed is also controlled as a function of the defect signal.
  • the provision of a label for the unoccupied transport space is not stopped first, the label transported with the vacuum drum is not delivered to the unoccupied transport space of the transport device but is transported further, the provision of a label is stopped for the time when the receiving space of the vacuum drum , whose label has not been transferred to the missing container, is located at the transfer position of the label to the vacuum drum.
  • the vacuum in the second sector of the vacuum drum is preferably only switched on when the defect signal indicates the absence of a container at a transport station of the transport device, which means that the effort required to generate the vacuum is significantly reduced.
  • each receiving position can be connected to a vacuum source by means of a control valve in the corresponding sectors.
  • the control valve is normally closed in the case of a conventionally occupied transport station at the delivery area of the vacuum drum, so that the vacuum at the receiving station is broken, allowing the label to be delivered to a container.
  • the control valve simply remains de-energized, allowing the vacuum to remain applied beyond the dispensing area to the receiving location and the label in the dispensing area is not dispensed.
  • part of the vacuum device is thus formed by at least one control valve, which is controlled as a function of the signal from the container detection device.
  • control valve any other component that is suitable for connecting the suction area of the receiving location or vacuum pad to a vacuum or separating it from the vacuum can also be used.
  • figure 1 shows an example of a labeling device 10 with a vacuum drum 12, which is distributed equidistantly around its circumference six receiving locations 14, each with one outwardly facing suction surface 28 for one label 24 each.
  • the labeling device 10 also includes a label feed 16 with a cutting roller 18 and a transfer drum 20.
  • the vacuum drum 12 has a receiving area 22 in which a label 24 is transferred from a label receptacle 21 of the transfer drum 20 to the receiving space 14.
  • the vacuum drum 12 also has a delivery area 26 in which the label 24 is applied from the receiving location 14 to the circumference of a container 34 located at a transport location 30 of a transport device 32 of a treatment device.
  • Each receiving space 14 contains a suction surface 28 which is connected to an associated vacuum space 36 which ends in a perforation 38 of a base plate 40 which is arranged axially normal and concentric to the axis of rotation of the vacuum drum 12. About these perforations 38, the vacuum chambers 36 of the individual recording positions 14 are supplied with vacuum, as is based on the figures 2 and 3 is described more clearly.
  • the labeling device 10 also contains a glue roller 13 which is arranged in the first sector A of the vacuum drum 12 between the receiving area 22 and the delivery area 26 and there provides the back of the labels 24 held on the receiving places 14 with glue.
  • This glue roller 13 rotates in the opposite direction to the vacuum drum 12, as a result of which a layer of glue is evenly applied to the back of the labels 24 as they unroll, which layer then serves to attach the labels 24 to the circumference of the containers 34.
  • the figure does not show that the receiving locations 14 can also optionally be moved radially outwards in order to come into improved contact with the outer circumference of the containers 34 in the delivery area 26, for example.
  • the vacuum drum 12 can also be designed and arranged in such a way that the receiving locations 14 enter the peripheral area of the containers 34 located in the transport locations 30 with their suction surface 28 even without radial movement, so that the labels 24 can also be applied without a radial movement of the individual receiving locations 14 is possible.
  • FIG. 12 shows the interaction between the rotating base plate 40 and a stationary control plate 42 which is arranged non-rotatably, ie non-rotatingly, below the base plate 40 and adjacent to it.
  • the control plate 42 is contained in the first sector A between the receiving area 22 and the delivery area 26 of the vacuum drum 12 an annular first vacuum channel 44 and in the second sector B between the delivery area 26 and the receiving area 22 in the direction of rotation of the vacuum drum 12 an annular second vacuum channel 46. Both vacuum channels 44, 46 are open to the base plate 40 and therefore interact with the base plate 40 moving perforations 38.
  • the first and second vacuum channels 44, 46 preferably, but not necessarily, overlap in the receiving area 22 and/or in the delivery area 26 of the vacuum drum 12. In the event of an overlap, both have a pointed end 45 for this purpose, in which both channels 44, 46 overlap so that a perforation 38 in this area 22,26 is in contact with both channels 44,46.
  • the perforations 38 associated with the vacuum spaces 36 of the individual receiving locations 14 move with the base plate 40 of the vacuum drum 12. Here they are, according to sectors A and B, either in contact with the first vacuum channel 44 or with the second vacuum channel 46.
  • the first vacuum channel 44 is connected to an external vacuum source 50 via a vacuum line 48 .
  • the second vacuum channel 46 is also connected to the external vacuum source 50 via a vacuum line 48 by means of a pneumatic valve 52 and optionally a pressure reducing valve 54 .
  • the pneumatic valve 52 which connects the second vacuum channel 46 to the external pressure source 50, is preferably closed. In this way, the vacuum spaces 36 of the receiving locations 14 are only connected to the vacuum in the first sector A. In this way, the labels 24 are held securely on the suction surfaces 28 of the receiving locations 14 between the transfer of the labels 24 from the transfer drum 20 to delivery to the periphery of the containers 34 in the transport locations 30 of the transport device 32 . If an empty transport location 30 without a container 34 is now discovered, the pneumatic valve 52 is opened and the second vacuum channel 46 is therefore also under a vacuum that can either be as high as the vacuum of the first vacuum channel 44 or, by means of the pressure reducing valve 54, to a slightly higher level can be set to a lower value. The label 24 continues to be on the suction surface precisely because of the fact that the two vacuum channels 44, 46 overlap in the dispensing area 26 28 is held so that it runs back to the receiving area 22 on the transfer drum 20 again.
  • the label feed is stopped at the position where the label 24 is still on the receiving space 14 in the second sector B, so that no label 24 is transferred from the transfer drum 20 at the point where the label is now still located.
  • the label feed can be stopped, for example, by the cutting roller 18 and the transfer drum 20 being stopped at the position where the label 24 is still on the receiving space 14 in the second sector B, so that there is no label 24 at the position that is still occupied is transferred from the false drum 20.
  • This is possible in particular because the mass and inertia of the transfer drum 20 and the cutting roller 18 are significantly lower than the vacuum drum 12.
  • the label feed can also be stopped by stopping the conveyor device that pulls the label strip from the supply roll, with the cutting roller 18 and also the transfer drum 20 being able to continue rotating unchanged in this procedure.
  • the label supply 16 is switched on again, so that the next free receiving places 14 are again equipped with labels 24 by the transfer drum 20 . In this way, a smooth supply of labels is guaranteed even for labeling machines with an extremely high throughput of containers.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show an alternative embodiment 60 of the labeling device according to the invention, in which a vacuum channel 62 in the control plate 42 in is formed in the form of a closed circular ring, which is connected to the external vacuum source 50 via the vacuum line 48 .
  • the perforations 38 of each receiving space 14 are connected to the respective pressure chamber 36 of the receiving space 14 via a control valve 64 .
  • the pressure chamber 36 of each receiving location 14 can be connected to the vacuum source 50 or separated from the vacuum source in any desired sector of the vacuum drum 12 in an electronically controlled manner.
  • control valves 64 in the receiving area 22 are opened and left open through the first sector A to the dispensing area 26 .
  • the delivery area 26 they are closed again so that the vacuum on the suction surface 28 of the receiving place 14 is eliminated and the label 24 can be transferred to a container 34 .
  • the control valve 64 in the delivery area 26 is not closed but left open, so that the label 24 also adheres to the suction surface 28 of the receiving area 14 via the sector B between the delivery area 26 and the receiving area 22.
  • suction surfaces 28 are of course partial surfaces of a circle formed concentrically to the axis of rotation of the vacuum drum 12 . They are only shown in plan for the sake of simplicity in the drawing.
