Definitions
- the invention relates to an insert for a turntable and a turntable and a treatment machine comprising the turntable.
- Objects that are to be treated from several sides can be stored on turntables and rotated past a stationary treatment station.
- the containers can be rotated on the turntables and moved past a labeling station.
- labeling stations In order to cover as large a portion of the outer surface as possible, labeling stations have feed elements, with the turntables moving past the feed elements at a short distance. The containers are also moved past the feed elements.
- DE 201 14 062 U1 discloses providing a turntable with a support plate in which a non-slip upper surface is covered by a change ring with an opening.
- the opening of the change ring provides a receptacle and centering for a base of a container.
- the change ring can be used to adapt the support plate to containers of different formats.
- the change ring protrudes above the non-slip surface. The height of the change ring above the non-slip surface determines the size of the treatable surface of the object.
- the object of the invention is to provide an insert and a turntable in which the treatable area of an object to be treated is increased.
- an insert piece for insertion into a receptacle of a turntable for a treatment machine for objects, in particular a labeling machine for containers wherein the insert piece has an upper side, wherein the upper side has a contact surface for arranging a base of an object to be treated, an outer surface extending around the contact surface and a centering element for centering the object on the contact surface, it is provided according to the invention that the outer surface is arranged substantially in and/or below a plane in which the contact surface extends, and the centering element is arranged above the plane.
- the outer surface of the insert does not protrude above the bottom of the object to be treated.
- a treatment station can therefore treat the object closer to the bottom of the object than in the prior art, while a turntable with the insert is rotated about an axis oriented transversely, preferably perpendicularly, to the contact surface.
- the object is centered on the insert by means of the centering element, so that the object is stored on the contact surface at a defined distance or in a defined position from a treatment station.
- the centering element and the outer surface are arranged on different sides of the plane in which the contact surface extends, or the outer surface is arranged at most in this plane, but does not extend substantially on the side of the plane in which the centering element is arranged.
- the centering element is arranged above and the outer surface below the plane.
- the contact surface and the outer surface are part of the top side of the insert.
- the contact surface and at least part of the outer surface can furthermore be aligned in the same way, for example.
- part of the outer surface can be aligned with the contact surface, e.g. B. be inclined, have grooves, recesses and/or projections, whereby the projections nevertheless extend below the plane.
- the underside of the insert is flat, the The outer surface, within the usual tolerance limits, may have a maximum distance of the plane from the underside that the contact surface has from the underside.
- the distance is understood to be the vertically determined distance to a plane defined by the underside.
- the contact surface is therefore arranged higher. Therefore, the areas of the insert that are bordered by the outer surface essentially do not overlap an object arranged on the contact surface in a direction parallel to the contact surface.
- a treatment station can therefore treat a section of the object that is arranged closer to the bottom of the object. This means that a larger area of the object can be treated overall.
- a further advantage of the invention is that the contact surface can be a surface of the material of the insert piece.
- the insert piece can be made of a metal, for example, so that wear of the material on the contact surface is minimized or avoided. Therefore, the height level of the contact surface in relation to the insert piece changes only minimally or not at all, so that the centering and alignment of the objects to be treated in relation to a treatment machine or treatment station remains constant over a long period of time compared to the prior art.
- the insert can, for example, be a removable plate for a turntable of a container labeling machine.
- the centering element can protrude from the top.
- the centering element can be arranged completely or partially under the object if the object is the floor on the contact surface.
- the centering element can protrude over the contact surface, but does not overlap with an area to be treated of an object arranged on the contact surface.
- the centering element can be attached to the top or formed integrally with the top.
- the centering element can therefore be manufactured separately from the insert piece, for example from a different material. If the centering element is made in one piece, the centering element can be manufactured cost-effectively during the manufacture of the insert piece, for example by milling, whereby only one side of the insert piece needs to be machined.
- centering element can, for example, extend at least partially around the contact surface and preferably limit the contact surface.
- the centering element can extend around the contact surface in a C-shape, for example.
- the container can then be moved over the outer surface onto the contact surface via the opening of the C-shape.
- the centering element can further border the outer surface on a side opposite the contact surface and protrude, for example, between the contact surface and the outer surface.
- the insert can be designed as an interchangeable plate.
- the interchangeable plate can, for example, have an essentially flat underside.
- the invention further relates to a turntable for a treatment machine for objects, in particular a labeling machine for containers, wherein the turntable has a turntable upper side, wherein the turntable upper side has a contact surface for arranging a base of an object to be treated, an outer surface extending around the contact surface and a centering element for centering the object on the contact surface, wherein according to the invention it is provided that the outer surface is arranged substantially in and/or below a plane in which the contact surface extends and the centering element is arranged above the plane.
- the turntable can be further developed analogously to the insert piece according to the previous description.
- the turntable may have a receptacle for an insert piece and an insert piece according to the previous description may be inserted into the receptacle and form the top of the turntable.
- the turntable can then, for example, have a holder for the insert piece into which the insert piece can be inserted.
- the invention further relates to a treatment machine for objects, wherein the treatment machine has at least one treatment station for an object and at least one turntable according to the preceding description, wherein the treatment machine is designed to load the turntable with an object to be treated and to move the turntable past the treatment station while the turntable is rotated about a longitudinal axis, and, when the turntable is arranged next to the treatment station during movement, at least one component of the treatment station is arranged above the outer surface and extends to an object arranged on the contact surface.
- the turntable can be rotated underneath the component, with the component reaching up to the object to be treated. Since the outer surface does not protrude beyond the contact surface, a collision of the component with the turntable or the insert is avoided when the turntable rotates underneath the component.
- the treatment machine may be a container labeling machine.
- the contact surface and the centering element can then be designed in such a way that they are adapted to the bottom of the container.
- Figure 1a, b shows a schematic representation of a treatment machine
- Figure 2a-d is a schematic representation of an insert
- Figure 3a, b a schematic representation of a turntable with object
- Figure 4a, b shows a schematic representation of a turntable at a treatment station.
- Figure 1a shows a treatment machine for objects, which is referred to in its entirety by the reference symbol 30 below.
- the treatment machine 30 can be designed, for example, as a labeling machine for containers. It has a plurality of turntables 36 on which the objects to be treated can be stored. Each turntable 36 can be designed to rotate about its own longitudinal axis 28, e.g. by means of servo motors 32 or belt drives. Furthermore, the turntables 36 can be transported along the circumference of the treatment machine 30, so that the turntables 36 can be rotated on the one hand about a central axis of rotation 31 of the treatment machine and on the other hand about the respective turntable's own longitudinal axis 28. Containers which are arranged on the turntables 36 can be fixed to the turntable 36 by means of holding elements 34 which can be moved along the longitudinal axis of the turntables 36, wherein the holding elements 34 can rotate with the turntables 36 and thus with the containers.
- Figure 1 b shows a top view of the turntables from Figure 1 a.
- the turntables 36 are shown in the same rotational position with respect to the central rotation axis 31 in this example, but can all be aligned in different rotational positions with respect to the central rotation axis 31.
- the container treatment machine 30 further comprises at least one treatment station 38.
- the treatment station 38 is designed as a self-adhesive unit with a feed edge, with which a self-adhesive label can be applied to an object to be treated, which is stored on the turntable 36.
- the self-adhesive unit can also comprise a pressing wall 40. The objects rotating with the turntable 36 can be guided along the pressing wall 40, whereby the respective self-adhesive label can be pressed onto the object from all sides by the rotation of the objects.
- the treatment machine 30 can be designed for a different type of treatment.
- the treatment machine 30 can e.g.
- the treatment station 30 can then be designed accordingly.
- Figure 2a schematically shows an insert piece 10 for a turntable 36.
- the insert piece 10 has an upper side 12 and a lower side 14.
- the upper side 12 has a contact surface 16 which is designed to match the bottom of the objects to be treated.
- the contact surface 16 can be arranged centrally in the insert piece 10. Furthermore, the contact surface 16 can be knurled, roughened or coated to increase the friction with the ground of the object to be treated.
- the contact surface 16 is ring-shaped. However, this does not exclude the possibility that the contact surface 16 may have a different shape.
- the upper side 12 has an outer surface 18 around the contact surface 16.
- the outer surface 18 can extend to an edge of the upper side 12.
- the upper side 12 also has a centering element 20.
- the insert piece 10 can have at least one alignment element 24, 26 with which the insert piece 10 can be aligned on the turntable 36. If several alignment elements 24, 26 are provided, these can have different shapes and/or sizes in order to predefine an alignment when assembling the insert piece 10. In this example, the insert piece 10 has two alignment elements 24, 26, wherein the alignment element 24 is smaller than the alignment element 26.
- Figure 2b shows a section along the line A-A from Figure 2a.
- the contact surface 16 is arranged in a plane 22, so that the contact surface 16 can be essentially flat.
- the outer surface 18 is arranged within the plane 22. In other examples, the outer surface 18 can be arranged at least partially below the plane 22. Furthermore, the outer surface 18 is not arranged above the plane 22.
- the underside 14 can be flat.
- the outer surface 18 can have a first distance from the underside 14 that is smaller than or substantially equal to a second distance between the plane 22 and the underside 14, the second distance being shown by the arrows in Figure 2b. If the first distance is equal to the second distance, the outer surface 18 is arranged substantially in the plane 22. The first and the second distance can be determined perpendicular to the plane 23 in which the underside 14 is arranged.
- the outer surface 18 can also have different first distances from the underside 14 in certain areas, with the maximum distance being the second distance for all areas.
- first distances from the underside 14 in certain areas, with the maximum distance being the second distance for all areas.
- grooves or depressions can be provided in the outer surface 18.
- the outer surface 18 can be conical, for example, with the first distance at the contact surface 16 being able to be essentially equal to the second distance, with the first distance to the edge of the upper side 12 being able to decrease.
- the centering element 20 is arranged above the plane 22 and can therefore have a greater distance from the underside 14 than the contact surface 16 and protrude beyond the plane 22. Furthermore, the centering element 20 can extend in a C-shape around the contact surface 16, so that an object can be moved with its base from the edge of the top side over the outer surface 18 and the opening 31 of the C-shape of the centering element 20 onto the contact surface 16.
- Figure 2c shows a representation of the insert piece 10 in a side view which is rotated by 90° with respect to Figure 2b.
- the alignment elements 24, 26 protrude laterally.
- Figure 2d shows a top view of the insert piece 10.
- the centering element 20 is arranged along the top side 12 between the contact surface 16 and the outer surface 18.
- the centering element 20 in this example in which it is C-shaped, can have tapered end sections 27, 29 of the C-shape.
- the opening 31 of the C-shape can be widened by the tapered end sections 27, 29 in order to facilitate the centering of an object moved onto the contact surface 16.
- the insert piece 10 can be designed as an interchangeable plate, whereby different interchangeable plates can have differently designed centering elements 20 and/or contact surfaces 16. In this way, a turntable 36 with different insert pieces 10 can be adapted to different formats of the objects to be treated.
- Figure 3a shows a turntable 36 with a receptacle 48.
- the turntable 36 has a turntable top 44 and a turntable bottom 46.
- An insert piece 10 is inserted into the receptacle 48.
- the insert piece 10 forms a turntable top 44 of the turntable 36 and can be designed according to the previous description.
- An object 42 is supported with its base on the contact surface 16.
- the object 42 is a container in the form of a can.
- the base of the object 42 is centered on the contact surface 16 by the centering element 20.
- the contact surface 16 can transfer a rotation of the turntable 36 to the base of the object 42 by friction, so that slipping of the turntable 36 under the object 42 is avoided.
- the rotary plate 36 can have at least one recess 45, 47, which is designed to match the at least one alignment element 24, 26.
- the insert piece 10 can only be inserted into the receptacle 48 in a defined orientation.
- the turntable top side 44 can also be designed without a receptacle 48.
- the turntable top side 44 can then be designed analogously to the top side 12.
- the outer surface 18 is arranged in or below the plane 22. If the turntable underside 46 is essentially flat, the outer surface 18 can have a third distance from the turntable underside 46, which is at most equal to the fourth distance between the plane 22 and the turntable underside 46. The distance can be determined perpendicular to the plane 25 in which the turntable underside 46 is then arranged.
- the object 42 tapers towards its bottom. Therefore, in this case, the centering element 20 can be arranged mostly or entirely below the object 42 in a direction radial to the longitudinal axis 28.
- the turntable 36 is shown with the object 42 to be treated arranged at a treatment station 38.
- a component 39 of the treatment station 38 which in this example is designed as a feed edge, can be arranged above the turntable top 44.
- the turntable 36 can be moved past the treatment station 38 while rotating about its longitudinal axis 28.
- Figure 4b shows a side view of the turntable 36 at the treatment station 38.
- the component 39 can be arranged at a fifth distance of a few millimeters, e.g. 0.2 mm to 3 mm, preferably 0.4 to 2.8 mm, from the outer surface 18 or the turntable 36 can be moved past the treatment station 38 at this distance below the component 39 without the component 39 colliding with the turntable.
- the fifth distance is marked with the arrows in Figure 4b.
- the bottom of the object 42 is arranged at least at the same height as the outer surface 18, so that the component 39 can treat the entire height of the object 42 minus the fifth distance.
- a feed edge can therefore stick a label to the entire surface of the container.
