Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for equipping containers with glued labels.
  • Containers such as beverage bottles or the like, can, as is known, be fitted with glued labels which are successively separated from an endless strip of labels without a backing layer and applied to continuously transported containers by means of rotating application cylinders.
  • a device for all-round labeling of containers is known.
  • a strip of labels is guided onto a vacuum roller, which serves as a counter blade to separate the labels by cutting them from the strip of labels.
  • the separated labels are transferred to a gripper cylinder that guides the labels past a gluing station.
  • a glued label is then wound around the full circumference of the side wall of a container. The end of the label overlaps the beginning of the label and is glued to it.
  • the gripper cylinder rotates faster than the vacuum roller in order to prevent the individual labels from being partially pushed over one another when they are transferred from the vacuum roller to the gripper cylinder.
  • the unglued side of the label faces the gripper cylinder and the glued side faces the vacuum roller.
  • the increase in speed during transfer causes labels to slip and thus undesired removal of glue from the labels onto the vacuum roller.
  • dynamic intermediate storage in the form of a variably adjustable loop of label tape is advantageous for feeding the label tape, in particular in the case of an uninterrupted change of supply rolls for the label tape.
  • a loop buffer is known, for example, in which a belt loop sags between two guide rollers by means of gravity.
  • U.S. 3,594,257 is also known to support the sagging of a strap loop by blowing it with an air stream.
  • such tape loops are unfavorable due to their vertical orientation and the required label position when labeling.
  • a loop buffer is also known in which a self-adhesive label strip is guided horizontally between two channel walls and is kept under tension by an air stream blown into the channel.
  • the belt loop produced is only suitable for low belt speeds or for clocked belt transport, but not for the machine performance required in beverage bottling plants.
  • the stated object is achieved with a device according to claim 1 for equipping containers with glued labels.
  • the device can also have the following features: holders for the containers which revolve around a transport means and can rotate about themselves; a feed unit for feeding a label tape, in particular a glued label tape without a backing layer; a cutting device for dividing the label strip into label segments by means of transverse perforations; a transfer cylinder for the transfer of the label strip in contact with its glued side or side to be glued; and an application cylinder with which the label strip can be placed on the containers circulating on the transport means.
  • the holders can be rotated in a controlled manner in such a way that they move faster than the application cylinder in relation to the conveying direction of the label strip during and/or after the application of a leading label segment in order to tear off the label segment at a transverse perforation and transfer it to a container.
  • the labels can only be separated from the label strip when they are transferred to the containers. It is therefore not necessary to change the conveying speed during the previous transfer of the label strip, in particular after buffering on the input side and during transfer to the application cylinder. Consequently, the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder can be driven at the same peripheral speed, so that a loss of glue on the transfer cylinder is avoided.
  • the label tape can advantageously be perforated in the area of the transfer cylinder, since a label tape that has already been glued on the transfer cylinder then rests with the adhesive side facing inwards.
  • contamination of the cutting device with glue can be avoided.
  • the cutting device enables flexible adjustment of the label size, i.e. the distance between the individual transverse perforations, so that the device according to the invention can be adapted to different label sizes and/or container sizes without conversion work in the area of the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder. For example, full-length labels as well as breast and/or back labels can then be flexibly attached to the containers.
  • the label tape can be held on the transfer cylinder and/or on the application cylinder by means of a vacuum.
  • An adhesion-reducing coating is preferably present on the transfer cylinder.
  • the feed unit preferably includes a loop buffer for dynamic intermediate storage of a label tape loop of variable length.
  • the cutting device preferably has a cutting edge which interacts with the transfer cylinder.
  • the transfer cylinder then acts as a counter-cutting cylinder.
  • the cutting device then preferably comprises a rotor on which at least one cutting edge is moved tangentially with the label strip running over the transfer cylinder.
  • the blade then preferably has the same peripheral speed as the peripheral speed of the transfer cylinder.
  • the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder can preferably be driven at the same peripheral speed. As a result, removal of glue, particularly on the surface of the transfer cylinder, can be reliably avoided.
  • the peripheral speed of the blade is then preferably equal to the peripheral speed of the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder.
  • the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder preferably have individually controllable drive units. This enables synchronous adaptation of the respective peripheral speed to the required labeling machine performance.
  • the rotor of the cutter then preferably also has a correspondingly individually controllable drive.
  • the holders preferably have individually controllable drive units, in particular comprising servomotors.
  • an individually predeterminable rotational movement can be set when the label segments are transferred from the application cylinder to the individual containers.
  • the rotational speed of the holders can be set lower from a first phase, in which contact is made between the preceding label segment and the associated container, than in a second phase, in which the label segment has been taken over by the respective container and on of the transverse perforation tears off the label tape.
  • a rotation speed profile optimized for the respective label material can be specified on the holders.
  • the holders are preferably driven by at least one servo motor.
  • Servo motors can be controlled particularly precisely.
  • a variant with an individual Servo motor drive can be advantageous for each holder, for example in the case of incomplete labelling.
  • a variant would also be conceivable in which the holders are jointly driven by a servo motor via a belt drive.
  • the application cylinder preferably has suction openings distributed around the circumference, which are surrounded by an elastic support layer for the label strip.
  • a support layer can consist, for example, of rubber, silicone and/or elastic plastics.
  • the layer thickness is then, for example, 1 to 10 mm, in particular 3 to 6 mm. Layers of this type facilitate the transfer of the label segments to the respective container side walls. In particular, the label segments can then be pressed onto the containers during transfer by elastic deformation of the support layer.
  • the elastic layer then preferably has a hardness of 40 to 55 degrees Shore. In this hardness range, the labels can be pressed particularly reliably onto the containers. In cooperation with the suction openings, both reliable transport of the label strip and reliable separation of the label segments, in particular tearing off along the transverse perforations, are ensured.
  • the method optionally includes the following steps: a) circulating transport of the containers; b) Feeding in a strip of labels, which in particular has no backing and/or is glued; c) cross-perforating the label strip to divide it into label segments; d) transfer of the label strip with a transfer cylinder in contact with its glued side or side to be glued; e) placing a preceding label segment of the label strip on the circulating containers by means of an application cylinder; and f) rotating the holders in such a way that they move faster than the application cylinder in relation to the conveying direction of the label strip during and/or after the label segment is placed on it, and that the label segment tears off at a transverse perforation and is taken over by a container.
  • the label strip is preferably continuously perforated on the transfer cylinder. This means that the transverse perforation is preferably produced when the label strip faces the transfer cylinder with its glued side or side to be glued and thus faces away from an associated cutting edge. Thus, the removal of glue when cutting labels that have already been glued on, and thus the contamination of an associated cutting device, can be minimized.
  • the conveying speed of the label strip is preferably constant during the transfer from the transfer cylinder to the application cylinder and/or during transverse perforation. As a result, the removal of glue from a label tape that has already been glued can be minimized overall.
  • the label tape is or will preferably be glued continuously in the longitudinal direction.
  • the label area available for attaching the labels to the containers can be optimized.
  • the device according to the invention can then be changed particularly easily with regard to different label sizes.
  • the method according to the invention could also be carried out with partially glued label tapes, for example by having adhesive strips and/or adhesive patterns on the back of the labels.
  • the label tapes are pre-glued, ie they are fed to the device according to the invention already provided with the layer of glue.
  • the label strip is glued after the perforation and before it is separated into labels, particularly in the area of the application cylinder.
  • glue means all suitable adhesives, for example hot-melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, water-based adhesives or adhesives based on other solvents.
  • any container can be labeled according to the invention, such as bottles, cans, cups, outer packaging or the like.
  • the stated object can be achieved with devices and methods according to at least one of claims 1 to 14 and the advantageous embodiments based thereon.
  • the above feature groups and claim groups define objects that can be used independently and nevertheless advantageously, particular advantages can also be achieved in the interaction of any technically meaningful combinations of the individual embodiments.
  • the device comprises according to claim 1: holders for the containers which circulate on a means of transport and can rotate about themselves; a feed unit with a loop buffer for feeding and dynamic intermediate storage of a label strip, in particular glued to it; a cutting device for dividing the strip of labels into label segments, in particular by means of transverse perforations; a transfer cylinder maintained by means of a vacuum for transferring the label strip in contact with its side to which glue is applied and/or to which glue is to be applied; an application cylinder held by means of negative pressure, with which the label strip can be placed on the circulating containers; and at least one blower, that is connected to the transfer cylinder and/or the application cylinder on the vacuum side, and which is connected to the loop buffer on the pressure side.
  • Dynamic temporary storage means that the label strip running through the device according to the invention is temporarily stored in the form of a U-shaped strip loop of variable length, for example, in order to compensate for fluctuations in the conveying speed of the label strip, in particular the feed speed when changing supply carriers, such as Rolls, for the label tape.
  • the cutting device preferably produces transverse perforations in order to further convey the label strip in the form of label segments hanging on one another in the region of the transverse perforations.
  • the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder hold the strip of labels or the individual labels by applying negative pressure, which acts on the labels via suitable suction openings in the outer surface of the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder.
  • the blower is, for example, an axial fan or a radial fan with an intake channel that is connected to the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder.
  • the negative pressure acting on the transfer cylinder and the application cylinder is set by separate throttle valves or the like in connecting lines leading to the cylinders.
  • connection on the pressure side of the loop buffer uses the exhaust air of at least one such fan to produce the label tape loop in the loop buffer.
  • the loop buffer comprises at least one inflow nozzle connected to the fan on the pressure side, an inflow pipe or the like for exhaust air to flow against the label strip, in particular in order to form an inside of a label strip loop.
  • a suitable dynamic pressure on the inside of the loop can thus be generated in a structurally simple and efficient manner.
  • a Venturi nozzle connected to the blower on the pressure side and having at least one suction opening formed on the loop buffer for sucking in the Label tapes connected, in particular to form an outside of a label tape loop.
  • a Venturi nozzle connected to the blower on the pressure side and having at least one suction opening formed on the loop buffer for sucking in the Label tapes connected, in particular to form an outside of a label tape loop.
  • the label tape loop is stabilized and/or lengthened.
  • a combination in which the inside of the loop is subjected to a flow and the outside of the loop is sucked in is particularly advantageous.
  • the venturi is then efficiently operated with the fan exhaust air.
  • a suitable inflow pressure or intake pressure can be set both in at least one inflow line leading to the inflow nozzle and in at least one intake line operated by means of a Venturi nozzle by means of separately adjustable throttle flaps.
  • the loop buffer preferably has a loop channel for forming a lying label loop, with a height-adjustable cover being formed on the loop channel. In this way, the position of the lid can be adjusted to the width of the label strip. On the one hand, this allows the vertical guidance of the label tape loop in the loop buffer to be improved. On the other hand, the label tape loop can be flown and/or sucked in in a targeted manner.
  • a method for equipping containers with glued labels comprises the steps: a) circulating transport of the containers; b) supplying a strip of labels, in particular pre-glued, with dynamic temporary storage in a loop buffer; c) dividing the label strip into label segments; d) transfer of the label strip onto a transfer cylinder which is maintained by means of a vacuum; and e) placing a preceding label segment on the circulating container with the aid of an application cylinder which is maintained by means of a vacuum.
  • the exhaust air that occurs during the generation of the negative pressure is used to flow against and/or suck in a loop of label tape in the loop buffer.
  • the exhaust air can be used to generate a sufficiently powerful air flow for forming and adjusting the length of the label tape loop.
  • a negative pressure can be generated to suck in the label tape loop.
  • a negative pressure that stabilizes the position of the label tape loop can be generated, particularly on the outside of the label tape loop, and the label tape loop can be lengthened.
  • the device 1 for equipping containers 2 with glued labels 3 comprises a transport means 4, which is designed, for example, as a container table, circulating carriage/rail system or the like, with holders 5 for the containers 2 that can rotate around itself Lines only schematically indicated are individually controllable drive units 5a for the holders 5, such as servomotors. With these, the holders 5 can be rotated in a controlled manner in order to carry out predetermined sequences of a rotary movement 5b for taking over and winding up the labels 3 onto the containers 2.
  • a feed unit 7 for feeding a label strip 8 to be glued or already glued and without a carrier.

  • a loop buffer 9 is integrated into the feed unit 7, with which a label tape loop 8a of the continuous label tape 8 can be formed and enlarged or reduced for the purpose of dynamic intermediate storage.
  • the dynamic storage area of the loop buffer 9 is indicated schematically by two label tape loops 8a, 8a' of different lengths. Reaching the maximum or minimum memory size is determined, for example, by means of sensors 9a.
  • a cutting device 10 Following the conveying movement 8b of the label strip 8, a cutting device 10, a transfer cylinder 11 and an application cylinder 12 are also present.
  • the cutting device 10 is preferably used to produce transverse perforations in the label strip 8, which subdivide this into label segments 8c.
  • the cutting device 10 is preferably designed in such a way that the label segments 8c are not separated with it, but run over the transfer cylinder 11 and the application cylinder 12 hanging on one another.
