Definitions

  • the invention relates to a docking module according to the preamble of claim 1 and a labeling machine according to the preamble of claim 1 1.
  • Modern labeling machines are often operated by means of an electrical bus system and with electrical energy and with pressurized media such as compressed air, water or the like.
  • the docking module provided for docking a labeling unit and for its positioning, electrical communication and pressure medium assemblies are installed on the rear of the frame at suitable points for connecting the docking module and also the docked labeling unit, so that they are in the operating position of the docking module for functional testing and / or actuation or for exchange are not freely accessible.
  • the docking module with these modules is complex, since many intermediate and switching states have to be monitored and controlled, e.g. B. on a so-called actuator-sensor level.
  • the communication and print medium assemblies are distributed on the rear of the docking module and are difficult to access, so that the docking module has to be detached from the labeling machine and moved away and then reinstalled and readjusted.
  • the empty docking module usually has to be separated from the labeling machine. This long-term concept results in the high complexity of the docking module, poor accessibility in the event of service, and very time-consuming replacement of components.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a docking module of the type mentioned and a labeling machine in which the complexity is significantly reduced, the accessibility in the case of service is significantly improved and the interchangeability of components is simplified.
  • the electrical communication and print medium assemblies are easily accessible in or on a side cheek of the frame, even in the operating position of the docking module and when the labeling unit is docked, from outside the labeling machine and from the side Switch positions and switching states of the components can be conveniently and at any time checked, the exchange is easy, and the print medium assembly can be operated manually, for example, without having to remove and / or partially disassemble the docking module.
  • installation space is saved by placing the modules on or in the side cheek in the rear area of the docking module. This results in a significant improvement in the complexity of the docking module.
  • the frame can stand on the floor and / or be screwed to the machine.
  • the labeling machine is characterized by improved complexity and the possibility of switching positions and switching states of components in the docking module conveniently and without dismantling the z. B. to check and / or replace empty docking module on its side cheek, and z. B. to operate the medium assembly, if necessary, by hand.
  • the modules are expediently housed in a control cabinet-like structure integrated in the side wall, so that they are protected against dirt and external influences on the one hand, but are easily accessible on the other hand.
  • the cabinet-like structure can have a laterally openable or removable, preferably transparent or transparent glass and / or plexiglass or sheet metal cover, which on the one hand protects the assemblies, but on the other hand provides a clear overview, and also detects interference and / or good signals leaves.

  • the at least one electrical and / or mechanical switching group and / or control unit can comprise a fieldbus ASI island of an actuator / sensor level (actuator sensor interface) which is used as a standard in modern docking modules.
  • a pneumatic valve group for pneumatically actuated components can also be installed in the docking module and the docked labeling unit with at least one distributor block, the magnetically actuated valve group being expediently also operable manually.
  • a variant without a bus system can have direct wiring with distributors on the side wall. Height-adjustable feet can be provided on the frame and on the side cheeks in order to be able to set up the docking module on the labeling machine in a stable and precisely positioned manner.
  • the docking module could be attached directly to the frame, preferably between two feet, on the rear of the frame facing away from the docking station on cantilevers. The rollers make it easy to move the docking module after separation from the labeling machine if work on the back is required.
  • the docking module is usually fixed to the desired position with an attachment structure in the container carousel of the labeling machine, specifically with an attachment structure.
  • the mounting structure can have several distributed mounting holes.
  • mounting points are provided for optionally attaching another plug holding plate of a manually pluggable special variant and / or retrofit media plug on the outside, preferably adjacent to at least one through opening in the side plate.
  • This additional connector holding plate with a special variant or retrofit media connector is attached if the media connector, which is intended to be permanently installed on the docking module, cannot be used and which may even be removed.
  • the feed-through opening can be used to lay lines or cables to the retrofit or special variant media connector.
  • the functionally necessary connection from the docking module to the docked labeling unit is usually established via plug-in and disconnectable multi-connectors.
  • the at least one multicoupling of the docking station of the docking module is expediently, preferably exchangeably, attached to a height-adjustable slide of a slide assembly in the docking station.
  • The can be used for service or exchange purposes Tilt the carriage assembly forward relative to the frame after loosening the retaining elements. This can be useful, for example, when replacing slide guides from the front.
