Definitions
- the invention relates to a docking module, a labeling machine according to the preamble of claim 16, and a method according to the preamble of claim 17.
- the multi-couplings installed in the docking station of the gate-type docking module and the labeling unit are plug-connected by a single linear, vertical relative movement between the labeling unit and the docking station.
- the labeling unit Prior to this, the labeling unit is brought to the docking station in the docking module with a linear approach movement until the mandrels and mandrel receptacles on the docking station and on the labeling unit are aligned vertically. Only then, by lifting the mandrels in the mandrel receptacles with the docking station, is the label animal unit centered on the docking station and at the same time the multi-couplings are plug-connected.
- the actuating elements of the labeling unit protrude from the lids to open them, so that the lids are in the open position as soon as the mandrels pick up on the mandrel, but the labeling unit is not yet centered.
- a faulty docking position of the labeling unit for. B. with too low starting position of Mul tikupplept, do not open the cover of the multi-couplings in the docking station.
- the lids already open and the labeling unit not yet centered water cannot be avoided in the multi-couplings of the docking station.
- the multi-couplings can be damaged.
- the relative adjustment of the multi-couplings on the labeling unit and in the docking station is very time-consuming and complicated, and a large number of sensors is necessary to scan the different target positions and switching states during the docking process and to transmit them to the controller.
- the invention has for its object to provide a docking module, a labeling machine and a method for docking a labeling unit, which are characterized by a minimal number of actuators, low complexity, less space for the docking station in the docking module and a minimal sensor effort for security Queries and thus low probability of failure of actuators and sensors.
- the docking module has reduced complexity and can be designed to be compact and reliable.
- the labeling machine is characterized, for. B even with a docked labeling unit with regard to the docking module connected on the control side due to higher operational safety, convenient maintenance and replacement work, and reduced space requirements.
- the motion control automatically brings the respective cover from the open position back to the closed position even when the multi-couplings are disconnected, so that the motion control performs a double function.
- the mechanical motion control also has the advantage of preferably pressing the cover into a closed position of the multi-couplings defined by the actuator, preferably locking it, so that no contamination or liquids penetrate into the multi-couplings of the docking station, e.g. B. when the labeling unit is undocked. Since the multi-coupling is already protected on the labeling unit, a cover can be omitted there.
- the invention also includes a solution in which each multi-coupling on the labeling unit has a lid which can be opened and which, for. B. can be operated analog via the mechanical movement control. It is common to provide two ge separate multi-couplings on the labeling unit and in the docking station, one for sensor for electrical media such as operating current and control signals z. B in a fieldbus system and one for operating media such as compressed air, water or the like.
- the motion control has a control curve for an actuation projection of the cover pivotably arranged on the multicoupling, wherein, preferably, the actuation projection carries a roller which interacts with the control curve in order to ensure smooth operation and to minimize wear.
- the motion control with the control cam can be accommodated in the docking station in a space-saving manner, which is conducive to the compactness of the docking station. All of these components are relatively easy to replace.
- the cover in its pivot bearing is pressed permanently by a spring, preferably a torsion spring, with its actuating projection or the roller on the control curve of the movement control.
- a spring preferably a torsion spring
- control curve has a mouth-like section at a lower end region and an essentially straight-line track in an upper section which adjoins the mouth-like section via a ramp.
- the control curve of the movement control can be arranged on the long side of a metal profile that is bent at both ends and points towards the labeling unit to be docked. that overlaps the slide with play and is screwed with both cranked ends to a slide guide front plate of the height-adjustable docking station in the docking module.
- the respective cover can be pivotable on the multi-coupling about an essentially horizontal axis, the actuating projection projecting approximately in the extension of a main plane of the cover over the axis in the direction of motion control.
- the underside of the cover of a multicoupling which is conductive for the medium under pressure, for example, can be equipped with at least one interchangeable seal in order to reliably seal openings of media channels in the closed position, expediently under contact pressure generated by the actuator.
- the cover of a multi-connector having electrical plug contacts can have a seal on its underside for producing a tight closed position, for example a sealing frame or a sealing plate.
- the correctly produced plug connection as well as the cover which has been correctly brought into the open position can preferably be queried simply electrically on the control side via connected plug contacts, so that no separate sensors are necessary for this. This is done on the control side, preferably via at least one contact pin inserted into a pin by scanning the galvanic connection.
- a sensor e.g. B. a proximity initiator for tapping a predetermined lowering position of the slide and there may be provided with the multi-coupling.
- no further sensors are required to monitor the docking or undocking sequences, which considerably improves operational safety.
- the actuator for plug-in connection can be a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder which can be acted upon by valves.
- a geared motor with a screw spindle for this Purpose It is advisable to secure a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder with an unlockable non-return valve so that if the pressure fails, the cylinder maintains its set position or plug-in multi-couplings do not separate in an uncontrolled manner.
- At least one multi-coupling for operating media such as compressed air, water or the like and at least one multi-coupling for electrical media, such as operating current, control signals and the like, are installed next to each other at the same height with an intermediate distance. Only the multi couplings in the docking station actually need covers.
- a plurality of guided centering elements can be provided for the docked labeling unit, which can also be moved with the docked labeling unit via an actuator before being connected , wherein the actuator can have a geared motor with a screw spindle or, alternatively, a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder.
- a turning handle that is accessible or can be exposed for manual actuation can be provided on the screw spindle, preferably a hexagon. This enables the docking station or the docked labeling unit to be lowered and removed from the docking station in the event of a power failure or another malfunction, or to be able to carry out manipulations even without operating current during repair or maintenance work.
- the at least one multi-coupling of the docking station is only moved to connect the multi-couplings, and the lid is only opened after the labeling unit has been properly centered on centering elements of the docking station and a predetermined position of one of the multi-coupling couplings the carriage carrying the docking station have been found.
- This sequence control reliably prevents damage due to an incorrect sequence of the docking or undocking sequence.

B. at least one interchangeable seal 23 is provided in the multi-coupling K2 for compressed air, what water or similar media in approximately central seals, in the multi-coupling K1 with electrical plug contacts as a sealing plate or sealing frame to seal in the closed position.
- Fig. 5 also illustrates that the pneumatic cylinder of the actuator 13, for example, can be secured by a check valve 23 to ensure in the event of a fault in the compressed air supply that the set position of the multi-clutches K1, K2 is kept.
- the check valve 23 can be blocked, for example pneumatically or mechanically, if the compressed air supply is in order again.
- the actuator 13 has the multi-couplings K1-K4 plug-in and each cover D is moved into its cover garage 7.
- a common cover garage 7 could be provided for both covers D.
- the multi-couplings K1, K2 move parallel to the movement of the actuator 13.
- the multi-couplings K1 -K4, or at least the multi-couplings, K1, K2 can be stored floating to avoid damage when making the plug connection or when separating.
- a major advantage of the solution according to the invention is that only the actuator 13 is required to insert the multi-couplings K1-K4 and also to actuate the cover. This results in a reduced complexity of the docking station S and in a reduced installation space. It is also essential that only minimal sensors for safety-related questions, because as a sensor z. B. only the proximity initiator 12 is required, which results in a reduced failure probability of the actuators and the sensors.
