Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cutter (also referred to as a cutter) for self-adhesive, carrier-free endless tape labels, with a transport roller that can be rotated about an axis of rotation and a knife unit that has a knife carriage that can be moved linearly parallel to the axis of rotation of the transport roller and a knife carriage that is non-rotatably held on the knife carriage in the direction comprises a cutting knife directed towards the transport roller, wherein the endless strip labels can be passed between the transport roller and the knife unit.
  • a truncator is from the document DE 199 58 274 A1 known.
  • a cutter or a label printer with a cutter is required, with which the labels are separated from the endless strip.
  • the transport roller of the cutter functions as a counter-holder for the cutting knife according to the document DE 199 58 274 A1 provided with an elastomeric coating into which the cutting knife can penetrate when separating the labels.
  • the disadvantage here is that the cutting blade successively damages the elastomeric covering and the transport roller wears out as a result. This is particularly disadvantageous because the adhesive-coated side of the labels rests on the transport roller.
  • the surface of the transport roller offers the adhesive no adhesion or only the lowest possible adhesion. This property of the transport roller works, especially with one with a non-stick coating provided transport roller, lost over time due to wear due to the penetration of the cutting knife.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a cutter of the type mentioned at the outset, which also enables trouble-free transport of the endless strip labels over the long term.
  • the knife unit comprises a knife holder which forms a structural unit with the cutting knife, in which the cutting knife protrudes with a fixed projection beyond the knife holder, the structural unit is slidably attached to the knife carriage and a spring device, in particular a compression spring, is provided, which biases the assembly into an extended position.
  • the cutter according to the invention has the advantage that the cutting blade does not penetrate the transport roller or at least does not penetrate as deeply when cutting off the labels, since the cutting blade can move away from the transport shaft due to its spring-loaded, displaceable fastening when it comes into contact with the surface of the transport shaft.
  • the spring force exerts sufficient pressure on the cutting knife to achieve a clean cut when separating a label.
  • the knife holder and the cutting knife are each designed in the form of a plate, with the knife holder and the cutting knife with their flat sides against each other.
  • a panel-shaped component is light and stable at the same time.
  • Two plate-shaped components that lie against one another with their flat sides reinforce each other.
  • the cutting knife is arranged between the knife carriage and the knife holder.
  • the cutting knife can be supported on both sides between the knife holder and the knife carriage and can therefore be held particularly securely.
  • the knife carriage can have a base body and an in particular plate-shaped extension protruding from the base body in the direction of the transport roller, to which the structural unit is slidably fastened, the flat sides of the plate-shaped extension preferably being parallel to the plane of movement of the cutting knife when the knife carriage is moved and/or or are oriented parallel to the plane of movement of the cutting blade when the assembly is displaced. This increases the stability of the arrangement.
  • the spring device is preferably supported on the one hand on the knife carriage, in particular the aforementioned base body, and on the other hand on the structural unit. Alternatively or additionally, it is preferred if the spring device acts directly on both the knife holder and the cutting knife. This enables a compact design of the arrangement in each case.
  • the knife unit comprises a fastening screw, with which the assembly is slidably fastened to the knife carriage, the assembly being accommodated with play between the head of the fastening screw and the knife carriage in the axial direction of the fastening screw.
  • Secure attachment can be achieved in a simple manner by the attachment screw. However, in order to ensure that they can be moved, the assembly is accommodated with play between the head of the fastening screw and the knife carriage.
  • the knife unit preferably comprises a spacer sleeve which extends at least through the structural unit, the shank of the fastening screw extending at least into the spacer sleeve, and the head of the Fastening screw is present at one axial end of the spacer sleeve to allow the game.
  • the spacer sleeve rests with its other axial end on a side of the knife carriage, in particular the aforementioned extension, that faces the structural unit, and the shank of the fastening screw extends through the spacer sleeve into the knife carriage, in particular the extension , wherein the fastening screw is screwed into the knife carriage, in particular the extension, and wherein the extent of the spacer sleeve is greater in the axial direction than the extent of the structural unit.
  • the spacer sleeve extends through the assembly and the knife carriage, in particular the aforementioned extension, and rests with a flange formed on its other axial end on a side of the knife carriage, in particular the extension, facing away from the assembly, wherein the fastening screw is screwed into the spacer sleeve, and the extent of the spacer sleeve in the axial direction is greater than the joint extent of the structural unit and the knife carriage, in particular the extension.
  • a slot is formed through which the fastening screw, and in particular the aforementioned spacer sleeve, extending therethrough, the structural unit being displaceable in the direction of the elongated hole.
  • the cutting blade can then be arranged in an area of the blade holder that is not in direct contact with the fastening screw.
  • the displaceability of the structural unit can also be made possible in another way, for example if the cutting blade is arranged on the side of the blade holder facing away from the blade carriage.
  • the head of the fastening screw can then be caught and slidably guided in a linear guide formed on the knife holder with stops on both sides.
  • a slotted hole is formed in both the blade holder and the cutting blade, which are matched to one another and through which the fastening screw, and in particular the aforementioned spacer sleeve, extends, with the structural unit being displaceable in the direction of the two slots. This can be the case in particular when the dimensions of the knife holder and the cutting knife are at least approximately the same, as is preferred for a stable and compact design of the structural unit.
  • the knife holder and the cutting knife are plugged together to form the structural unit, the knife holder having at least one pin protruding in the direction of the cutting knife and the cutting knife having at least one opening accommodating the respective pin.
  • the knife holder has two pegs and the cutting knife has two openings which are opposite one another with respect to the fastening screw.
  • the resulting symmetrical structure creates a particularly stable structural unit.
  • the respective pin of the knife holder extends through the respective opening of the cutting knife and into a respective elongated hole formed in the knife carriage.
  • the respective pin simultaneously ensures that the structural unit is secured against twisting relative to the knife carriage.
  • a separate anti-twist device to be provided, for example two holding arms which protrude from the knife holder in the direction of the knife carriage and rest on both sides of the knife carriage, in particular the aforementioned extension.
  • the projection of the cutting knife over the knife holder can be between 0.1 mm and 0.8 mm, preferably between 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm. In this way it can be ensured that the cutting blade protrudes only slightly over the blade holder on the one hand, but on the other hand it protrudes far enough to reliably separate the labels.
  • a threaded spindle with a threaded rod and the knife carriage as a spindle nut and an electric motor driving the threaded rod are provided in order to linearly move the knife carriage.
  • a straight guide running parallel to the threaded rod is preferably provided in the form of a guide rod which extends through an opening formed in the knife carriage and along which the knife carriage is guided in a linearly displaceable manner.
  • the knife carriage can be moved back and forth between a first end position and a second end position, the cutting knife having a blade in both directions of movement of the knife carriage on the leading edge in each case.
  • the knife carriage does not have to be reset to the first end position before the next label can be cut off, so that the throughput can be increased.
  • the two cutting edges preferably form a V-shape together in the plane of movement of the cutting knife when the knife carriage is moved. In this way, particularly clean cuts can be achieved when separating the labels, since the two cutters each have a force component when separating, which presses on the endless strip labels from above.
  • the knife carriage can be moved linearly transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to a transport direction of the self-adhesive, carrier-free endless strip labels and/or the structural unit is fastened to the knife carriage in a linearly displaceable manner.
  • the cutting blade protrudes with the fixed projection beyond an end surface of the blade holder that is in the direction of the transport roller.
  • the transport roller can be provided with a non-stick coating or be made of a non-stick material.
  • the transport roller is preferably a driven transport roller, so that the continuous band labels are also pulled in the area of the cutter and kept under tension.
  • a pressure roller of a label printer in which the cutter is installed, is driven by an electric motor and ensures controlled transport of the endless band labels.
  • the transport roller can also be a non-driven, traveling transport roller.
  • the present invention also relates to a label printer with a cutter for self-adhesive, linerless continuous tape labels, as explained above.
  • the present invention also relates to scales, in particular retail scales, with a label printer as explained above.
  • the exemplary retail scale 11 shown comprises a load plate 13 which determines the weight of an article lying on it, which is displayed both on a display 15 for the customer and on a display 17 for the seller.
  • the display 17 is designed as a touch screen, so that the retail scales 11 can also be operated via this.
  • An identification number (PLU) assigned to the respective article can be entered via the touchscreen 17 so that, taking the weight into account, a price can be calculated for the article, which is then also displayed on the two displays 15 , 17 .
  • the retail scale includes a label printer 19 for printing a label with the weight, the name of the item and the price charged.
  • a control device 20 of the retail scales 11 is shown schematically, which is integrated in the retail scales 11 and designed to control the operation of the retail scales 11, in particular including the label printer 19.
  • the label printer 19 is in Figure 2A shown in a single view from the front.
  • a front cover of the label printer 19 in the form of a flap 21 and a cover section 22 separate therefrom is omitted so that the interior of the label printer 19 can be seen.
  • a receptacle 23 for a label roll and a deflection roller 25 is visible inside the label printer 19 .
  • a print head and a print roller of label printer 19, on the other hand, are in Figure 2B not visible.
  • the label printer 19 can be operated in particular with self-adhesive, carrier-free endless strip labels. Therefore the label printer 19 has a cutter 27 (which is shown in Figure 2B partially covered by a cover plate 28) with which the labels are separated from the continuous band. How out 3 results, the cutter 27 comprises a driven transport roller 29 for the endless strip labels, which can be rotated about an axis of rotation.
  • a knife unit 31 is provided, which has a knife carriage 33 (cf. Figures 4A to 6B ), which can be moved linearly parallel to the axis of rotation of the transport roller 29, and a plate-shaped cutting knife 34 which is held in a rotationally fixed manner on the knife carriage 33 and is directed in the direction of the transport roller 29.
  • the label printer 19 can also be operated with receipt paper.
  • the knife carriage 33 is designed as a spindle nut with a passage 35 with an internal thread, which is driven by an electric motor 39 to be movable in both axial directions of the threaded rod 37 via a threaded rod 37 with which it forms a threaded spindle.
  • cutter 27 also includes a straight guide running parallel to threaded rod 37, which is designed as a guide rod 41 with a round cross section, which extends through an opening in knife carriage 33 43 extends therethrough.
  • the opening 43 has a slot-shaped cross section, so that tolerances in the distance between the threaded rod 37 and the guide rod 41 can be compensated.
  • the self-adhesive, carrier-free continuous tape labels are guided between the transport roller 29 and the knife unit 31, with the adhesive-coated side of the continuous tape labels facing the transport roller 29, which acts as a counter-holder for the knife unit 31, in particular the cutting knife 34 of the knife unit 31.
  • the two opposite directions of movement of the knife carriage 33 run perpendicular to the transport direction of the endless strip labels.
  • the print head and the platen roller are in the Figure 2B and 3 arranged behind or below the transport roller 29 and thus - as already mentioned above - not visible in the figures.
  • the knife carriage 33 has a base body 45 and a plate-shaped extension 47 projecting from the base body 45 in the direction of the transport roller 29, on which the cutting blade 34 is held by means of a plate-shaped blade holder 49 of the blade unit 31.
  • the cutting knife 34 is arranged between the extension 47 and the knife holder 49 .
  • the extension 47, the cutting blade 34 and the blade holder 49 are arranged with their flat sides lying against one another. The flat sides of these components are thus oriented parallel to the plane of movement of the cutting blade 34 when the blade carriage 33 is moved.
  • the passage 35 for the threaded rod 37 and the opening 43 for the guide rod 41 are each provided in the base body 45 .
  • the knife holder 49 and the cutting knife 34 form a structural unit 51 (cf Figures 5A, 5B , 6B and 7 ), which is slidably attached to the extension 47 of the knife carriage 33 (see. The respective double arrow in the Figure 5A and 8A ), which is moved by a spring device 53 in the form of a compression spring into an extended position (cf. Figure 8A ) is pressed and when the blade unit 31 is placed on the endless strip labels 55 running between the transport roller 29 and the blade unit 31, it is pushed back into a retracted position against the spring force of the spring device 53 (cf. Figure 8B ).
  • the spring device 53 is supported with one end on the base body 45 and with the other end on the structural unit 51, both on the blade holder 49 and the cutting blade 34, from.
  • the spring-loaded mounting of the cutting blade 34 or the structural unit 51 has the advantage that the cutting blade 34 or the tip of the cutting blade 34 does not or at least hardly penetrates the surface of the transport roller 29 when a label is cut off, but rather by a distance caused by the spacing between the Knife unit 31 and the transport roller 29 predetermined distance is pushed back from the extended position. This can prevent the surface of the transport roller 29 from being roughened by continuous cutting. This is because such a roughened surface would result in the continuous-strip labels sticking more and more to the transport roller 29 with their adhesive-coated side over the course of time, which would interfere with smooth transport of the continuous-strip labels.
  • the overhang d is adapted to the thickness of the labels and selected in such a way that the labels can be reliably separated from the endless belt.

  • the structural unit 51 is accommodated with play between the head of the fastening screw 61 and the extension 47 in the axial direction of the fastening screw 61 .
  • the play is achieved in that a spacer sleeve 65 is provided, the extent of which in the axial direction of the fastening screw 61 is greater than the corresponding extent of the structural unit 51 and through which the shank of the fastening screw 61 is inserted, so that the spacer sleeve 65 also extends through the two elongated holes 57, 59 extends therethrough.
  • the head of the fastening screw 61 abuts the spacer sleeve 65 at one axial end and the extension 47 of the knife carriage 33 abuts at the other axial end.
  • the knife holder 49 and the cutting knife 34 are plugged together to form the structural unit 51 .

  • the separated label is held in the target position of the knife unit 31 by the fact that the underside of the endless strip labels 55 rests on the transport roller 29 and when the knife unit 31 is moved from the starting position to the target position between the in the direction of the transport roller 29 Lying end face 56 of the knife holder 49, which rests on the top of the endless tape labels 55, and the transport roller 29 are clamped. This then also applies in particular to the severed label in the target position of the knife unit 31.
  • the knife unit 31 or the knife carriage 33 is not moved completely into the aforementioned second end position, but only to the extent that the end surface 56 of the knife holder 49 has a trailing section is still in the area of the endless strip labels 55 or the severed label.
  • the cutting knife 34 sits on the surface of the transport roller 29 in a sliding manner.
  • the end surface 56 of the knife holder 49 runs along a surface line of the transport roller 29 that is closest to the end surface 56 of the knife holder 49, since this allows the severed label to be held particularly well.
  • the cutting blade 34 or the tip of the cutting blade 34 then runs along a surface line of the transport roller 29 that is offset, in particular slightly, from this.
  • a detector device (not shown) is provided, which is used to detect whether the severed label has been removed by an operator. Only when this is the case does the knife unit 31 automatically move out of the target position.
  • the cutter unit 31 can either return to the starting position or continue to a further starting position that goes beyond the target position and corresponds to the aforementioned second end position, and the endless belt labels 55 can be printed before the next label that is already has partially passed through the print area, can be pulled back to the beginning of the label at which the label was separated (reversing). The method steps explained above are then repeated for the next label to be separated.
  • the knife unit 31 moves in the opposite direction of travel, i.e. in the direction of the starting position, to a further target position (not shown) in order to cut off the next label 9 corresponds to the position shown, albeit at the right-hand edge of the endless belt label 55.
  • the knife unit 31 is thus again not completely moved back into the first end position, but only to the extent that the end face 56 of the knife holder 49 with a trailing section continues to be in the area of the endless belt -Label 55 is located, so that the next separated label is held on the transport roller 29. After the next label has been removed, the knife unit 31 then moves back completely to the starting position.
  • a reference run of the knife unit 31 takes place when the label printer 19 is switched on Magnet 75 detected (cf. 3 ).
  • a flowchart that illustrates the method steps explained above is in 10 shown, the process steps being controlled or executed by the control device 20 .
  • the alternative method can also be carried out with carrier tape labels in which the labels are applied to a carrier tape.
  • the knife unit 31 extends according to FIG 11 the spacer sleeve 65 not only passes through the structural unit 51, but also through the extension 47 of the knife carriage 33.
  • the spacer sleeve 65 of the knife unit 31 is in accordance with 11 with the other axial end not on the side of the extension 47 facing the structural unit 51, but with a flange 79 formed on this end on the opposite side of the extension 47.
  • the fastening screw 61 of the knife unit according to 11 not screwed into the extension 47, but in the spacer sleeve 65.
  • the extension of the spacer sleeve 65 in the axial direction of the fastening screw 61 is greater than the joint extension of the structural unit 51 and extension 47 of the knife carriage 33.
  • the alternative knife unit 31 according to 11 has the advantage that no fastening hole with an internal thread is required in the extension 47 . This is particularly advantageous when the knife carriage 33 with the extension 47 is made of a plastic. For the same reason, in the knife unit 31 according to FIG 11 an insert sleeve 81 is also provided in the passage 35 .
  • the spacer sleeve 65 and the insert sleeve 81 can be made of a metal that can easily be provided with an internal thread for the fastening screw 61 or for the threaded rod 37.
  • the two elongated holes 71 are designed as countersunk holes, they can just as well be designed as continuous elongated holes.
