Description

  The present invention relates to a label magazine used for attaching a label to an object such as a beverage basket.

  In a labeling device for applying labels to the surface of a beverage jar such as a beer jar, the positional relationship between the label magazine and the pallet that receives the label from the label magazine is closely related to the occurrence of defective label application. Related. For example, when transferring a label from a label magazine to a pallet, the pallet with glue applied on the surface is pressed against the label fed to the tip of the label magazine, and the label in the front row is moved to the pallet. Need to capture. In order to reliably perform the taking-in, it is necessary to appropriately manage the amount that the pallet pushes the labels in the alignment direction (referred to as a driving amount). When the driving amount is excessive, a plurality of labels may be taken out at once, and when the driving amount is insufficient, the label may be missed. Therefore, a label magazine is proposed in which the position of the front end of the magazine can be adjusted in the label alignment direction (see Patent Document 1). In a label supply device having a two-deck structure in which a trunk magazine and a shoulder magazine each containing a trunk label and a shoulder label in an aligned state are stacked and attached to a common apparatus main body, both magazines are labeled integrally with the apparatus main body. The label supply device is provided so that the position of the shoulder magazine can be adjusted in the alignment direction, and the position of the shoulder magazine in the alignment direction of the label can be adjusted with respect to the main body of the apparatus, thereby individually adjusting the amount of driving in the trunk magazine and the shoulder magazine.

And a pair of left and right direction adjustment portions A2 are provided. Details of these adjustment units A1 and A2 will be described later.

  The mounting substrate 31 is provided so as to extend across the left and right support portions 27. Each support portion 27 and the mounting substrate 31 are connected by a bolt 32 and a T-groove nut 33. Each support portion 27 is provided with a through groove 27 a through which the bolt 32 is passed, and the through groove 27 a extends sufficiently longer in the left-right direction than the diameter of the bolt 32. Thereby, the attachment position of the left-right direction of the attachment board | substrate 31 with respect to the support part 27 is adjustable.

  A block-shaped shaft support member 35 is disposed at the center in the left-right direction of the mounting substrate 31. The shaft support member 35 is provided with a long hole 35a extending in the left-right direction, and a reamer bolt 36 is passed through the long hole 35a. The reamer bolt 36 passes through the mounting substrate 31 and protrudes from the lower surface thereof, and a nut 37 is screwed into the protruding portion. A misalignment prevention metal fitting 38 is inserted between the shaft support member 35 and the left and right support portions 27 so as to fill the left and right gaps. The mounting substrate 31 can be rotated around the center line B of the reamer bolt 36 by removing the slip prevention metal fitting 38 and loosening the bolt 32. The inclination angle θ of the longitudinal center line CL of the magazine body 22 with respect to the center line X of the label supply device 7 can be appropriately changed by the rotation of the mounting substrate 31. The center line X of the label supply device 7 is a perpendicular bisector with respect to the line Y connecting the axes of the two magazine mounting shafts 12 on the front side, and the driving angle described above can be represented by the inclination angle θ. After adjusting the driving angle θ, the shift prevention bracket 38 is inserted between the shaft support member 35 and the support portion 27, and the bolt 32 is tightened to prevent the mounting substrate 31 from rotating relative to the support portion 27, thereby driving the driving angle θ. Deviation is prevented.

  As is apparent from FIGS. 7 and 8, rail substrates 41 </ b> A and 41 </ b> B are fixed to both ends of the mounting substrate 31 using bolts 43. 8 shows the configuration around the rail substrate 41A located on the left side of FIG. 7, but the configuration around the rail substrate 41B on the opposite side is the same unless otherwise specified. Below, when it is not necessary to distinguish rail board | substrate 41A, 41B, it describes with the rail board | substrate 41. FIG. The rail substrate 41 extends vertically downward so as to be suspended from the lower surface of the mounting substrate 31. The rail substrate 41 extends beyond the mounting substrate 31 to the rear of the magazine body 22. However, the rail substrate 41A extends rearward as much as the width of the mounting substrate 31, whereas the rail substrate 41B extends from the front base 25 to a position reaching the rear base 26, thereby It functions as a front-rear connecting member that substantially connects the part base 25 and the rear base 26 (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

  A side plate 44 is fixed to the rail substrate 41 using bolts 45. The side plate 44 projects horizontally from the rail substrate 41 toward the center in the left-right direction of the neck label magazine 20. A screw support plate 47 is attached to each side plate 44 using a clamp screw 46. The screw support plate 47 is provided with a screw receiving portion 47a protruding in a block shape, and a screw shaft 48a of the vertical position adjusting screw 48 is rotatably inserted into the screw receiving portion 47a. A vertical position adjustment block 49 is screwed into the tip of the screw shaft 48a. A rail 50a of a linear guide bearing 50 as a slide mechanism is fixed to the rail substrate 41 by using bolts 52 in a state where the longitudinal direction thereof coincides with the front-rear direction of the neck label magazine 20. The linear guide bearing 50 is a precision part used for guiding linear motion, and there is almost no backlash between the rail 50a and the slider 50b. A slide substrate 53 is fixed to the slider 50 b of the linear guide bearing 50 using bolts 54. The slide substrate 53 functions as a slide part of the slide mechanism together with the slider 50b. An L-shaped bracket 55 is attached to the slide substrate 53 using bolts 56.

  The vertical position adjustment block 49 is prevented from rotating in contact with the side surface of the bracket 55. Accordingly, when the vertical position adjusting screw 48 is rotated on the screw receiving portion 47 a of the screw support plate 47, the vertical position adjusting block 49 moves up and down along the surface of the bracket 55. The bolt insertion hole 55a of the bracket 55 is a long hole in the vertical direction, and the vertical displacement of the bracket 55 is allowed by loosening the bolt 56. Therefore, by adjusting the vertical position of the vertical position adjustment block 49 with the vertical position adjustment screw 48, the bracket 55 is abutted against the lower surface of the vertical position adjustment block 49 and the bolt 56 is tightened to The position of the direction can be adjusted. The adjusting operation does not give any displacement to the slide substrate 53, and therefore, there is no possibility that the linear guide bearing 50 is distorted due to the adjustment of the vertical position of the bracket 55. In the neck label magazine 20 of the present embodiment, the vertical direction adjusting portion A1 is configured by the vertical position adjusting screw 48, the vertical position adjusting block 49, the bracket 55, and the bolt 56. Note that the vertical position adjustment block 49 may be engaged with the bracket 55 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction but not relative to the vertical direction. In this case, the rotation of the vertical position adjusting screw 48 can be converted into the vertical displacement of the bracket 55.

  Furthermore, a screw support plate 60 is fixed to one rail substrate 41A, that is, the rear end of the left rail substrate 41A in FIG. A bearing portion 60a is provided at the lower end of the screw support plate 60, and a front / rear position adjusting screw 62 is attached to the bearing portion 60a so as to be rotatable and not relatively displaceable in the axial direction. A nut 63 is screwed into the screw shaft 62 a of the front / rear position adjusting screw 62, and the nut 63 is fixed to the slide substrate 53 using a bolt 64. Accordingly, by rotating the operation knob 61b at the shaft end of the front / rear position adjusting screw 62, a driving force in the front / rear direction is applied to the slide substrate 53, and the slider 50b, the slide substrate 53, and the bracket 55 are integrated in the front / rear direction. It is displaced to. Thereby, the adjustment of the driving amount is realized. A digital indicator 65 is attached to the screw support plate 60, and a screw shaft 62 a of the front / rear position adjusting screw 62 is attached so as to penetrate the digital indicator 65. The digital indicator 65 is an indicator that numerically displays the rotation angle of the screw shaft 62a. By referring to the instruction of the digital indicator 65, it is possible to quantitatively grasp the adjustment of the driving amount.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the left and right brackets 55 are connected to the label tray 28 of the magazine main body 22 via a connecting plate 70. As a result, the front end portion of the magazine body 22 is connected to the front base 25 via the front connection portion 23 </ b> A and supported between the magazine mounting shafts 12. Each connecting plate 70 is connected to the bracket 55 and the label tray 28 using bolts 71 and 72. The bolt 71 that connects the connecting plate 70 and the bracket 55 passes through the long hole 70 a of the connecting plate 70 and is screwed into the bracket 55. The long hole 70a extends in the left-right direction of the neck label magazine 20 (see FIG. 6), and the magazine body 22 can be adjusted in the left-right direction with respect to the bracket 55 by loosening the bolt 71. In the neck label magazine 20 of this embodiment, the bracket 55, the connecting plate 70, and the bolt 71 constitute a left-right direction adjustment portion A2.

  4 and 5, the rail board 41B extends toward the rear base 26 as described above, and the rail 50a of the linear guide bearing 50 attached to the rail board 41B is similarly the rear base 26. It is extended toward. The rear end portions of the rail substrate 41B and the rail 50a are used as a part of the rear connection portion 23B. FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along line IX-IX in FIG. However, in FIG. 9, a part of the rear base 26 and the magazine mounting shaft 12 are indicated by imaginary lines. The rear end portion of the magazine main body 22 is supported in a cantilever state by being connected to the rear base 26 via the rear connection portion 23B. The rear connecting portion 23B includes a vertical adjustment portion A3 for adjusting the vertical position of the magazine body 22 with respect to the base portion 21, and a left and right position for adjusting the horizontal position of the magazine body 22. Direction adjustment part A4 is provided. Details of the adjustment units A3 and A4 will be described later.

  The rear base 26 is provided with a support portion 80 that extends forward from the magazine mounting shaft 12 in a flat plate shape. An attachment substrate 81 is attached to the lower surface of the support portion 80 using bolts 82 and a T-groove nut 83. The bolt 82 passes through the long hole 80 a of the support portion 80 and the long hole 81 a of the mounting substrate 81 and is screwed into the T-groove nut 83. As is clear from FIG. 4, the long hole 80 a of the support portion 80 extends in the front-rear direction, and the long hole 81 a of the mounting substrate 81 extends in the left-right direction. Therefore, by loosening the bolts 82, the position of the mounting substrate 81 with respect to the support portion 80 can be changed from front to back and left and right. This adjustment function is for changing the position of the rear end of the magazine body 22 when the magazine body 22 is turned around the reamer bolt 36.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the rear end portion of the rail substrate 41 </ b> B is fixed to the mounting substrate 81 using a bolt 84. The rail 50a of the linear guide bearing 50 is fixed to the rail substrate 41B by using bolts 52. A slider 50b different from the slider 50b of the front side connecting portion 23A described above is attached to the rail 50a, and a slide substrate 85 is fixed to the slider 50b using a bolt 86. The slide substrate 85 functions as a slide part of the slide mechanism together with the slider 50b. An L-shaped bracket 87 is attached to the slide substrate 85 using bolts 88.

  A side plate 90 is fixed to the rear end portion of the rail substrate 41B using bolts 91. The side plate 90 protrudes horizontally from the rail substrate 41B toward the center in the left-right direction of the neck label magazine 20. A screw support plate 93 is attached to the side plate 90 using a clamp screw 92. The screw support plate 93 is provided with a screw receiving portion 93a protruding in a block shape, and a screw shaft 94a of the vertical position adjusting screw 94 is rotatably inserted into the screw receiving portion 93a. A vertical position adjustment block 95 is screwed into the tip of the screw shaft 94a.

  The vertical position adjustment block 95 is prevented from rotating in contact with the side surface of the bracket 87. Therefore, when the vertical position adjusting screw 94 is rotated on the screw receiving portion 92 a of the screw support plate 92, the vertical position adjusting block 95 moves up and down along the surface of the bracket 87. The bolt insertion hole 87a of the bracket 87 is a long hole in the vertical direction, and the vertical displacement of the bracket 87 is allowed by loosening the bolt 88. Accordingly, by adjusting the vertical position of the vertical position adjustment block 95 with the vertical position adjustment screw 94, the bracket 87 is abutted against the lower surface of the vertical position adjustment block 95 and the bolts 88 are tightened, so that the vertical position of the bracket 87 is increased. The position of the direction can be adjusted. The adjustment operation does not cause any displacement with respect to the slide substrate 85, and therefore, there is no possibility of distortion between the rail 50a of the linear guide bearing 50 and the slider 50b due to the effect of adjusting the vertical position of the bracket 87. The vertical position adjusting screw 94, the vertical position adjusting block 95, the bracket 87, and the bolt 88 constitute the vertical direction adjusting portion A3. The vertical position adjustment block 95 may be engaged with the bracket 87 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction but not relative to the vertical direction. In this case, the rotation of the vertical position adjusting screw 94 can be converted into the vertical displacement of the bracket 87.

  The bracket 87 of the rear connecting portion 23B is connected to the label tray 28 of the magazine main body 22 via a connecting plate 96. Thereby, the rear end part of the magazine body 22 is connected to and supported by the rear base 26 via the rear connection part 23B. The connecting plate 96 is connected to the bracket 87 and the label tray 28 using bolts 97 and 98. The bolt 97 that connects the connecting plate 96 and the bracket 87 passes through the long hole 96 a of the connecting plate 96 and is screwed into the bracket 87. The long hole 96a extends in the left-right direction of the neck label magazine 20 (see FIG. 4), and the magazine body 22 can be adjusted in the left-right direction with respect to the bracket 87 by loosening the bolt 97. In the neck label magazine 20 of this embodiment, the bracket 87, the connecting plate 96, and the bolt 97 constitute the left / right direction adjustment portion A4.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the magazine body 22 is provided with a label presser 100. The label presser 100 can move in the front-rear direction along the label tray 28. A magazine driving device 101 is provided at the rear end of the magazine body 22. The magazine driving device 101 drives the label presser 100 toward the front end of the neck label magazine 20 with an appropriate force. When the label presser 100 is driven by the magazine driving device 101, the row of neck labels accommodated in the label tray 28 is pushed toward the label presser claw 29 at the leading end of the magazine.

  In the neck label magazine 20 configured as described above, the front base 25 is fitted to the front magazine mounting shaft 12 and the rear base 26 is fitted to the rear magazine mounting shaft 12 and fixed at appropriate positions. By this, it is supported on the carriage 11 of the label supply device 7. In this state, by turning the mounting substrate 31 around the reamer bolt 36, the connecting portion 23 and the magazine main body 22 can be integrally rotated to adjust the driving angle θ. In this case, since the linear guide bearing 50 also rotates together, there is no distortion in the interior. Further, the linear guide bearing 50 is changed by changing the height of the brackets 55 and 87 with respect to the slide substrates 53 and 85 or changing the position of the connecting plates 70 and 96 in the left and right direction with respect to the brackets 55 and 87. The height and inclination of the magazine body 22 can be adjusted as appropriate without causing distortion in the interior of the magazine. Therefore, when the front / rear position adjusting screw 62 is operated, the slider 50b always moves smoothly with respect to the rail 50a, and the driving amount can be adjusted easily and with high accuracy.

  According to the neck label magazine 20 of the present embodiment, the linear guide bearings 50 as the slide mechanism are provided on the left and right sides at the front end portion of the magazine main body 22, and the adjusting section is provided between each linear guide bearing 50 and the magazine main body 22. Since A1 and A2 are provided, the height and inclination of the magazine body 22 can be flexibly adjusted by appropriately setting the adjustment amounts of the respective adjustment portions A1 and A2. Moreover, since the linear guide bearings 50 are arranged on the left and right, the stability when the magazine body 22 is moved in the label alignment direction is high, and the driving amount can be adjusted more smoothly. As one of the parts for connecting the magazine body 22 and the base portion 21, the rail substrate 41B is shared between the front side connecting portion 23A and the rear side connecting portion 23B, so that the rigidity of the label magazine 20 can be increased. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the twist of the magazine body 22 and adjust the driving amount more smoothly. In addition, the rail 50a is attached to the rail substrate 41B and is shared by the front and rear connecting portions 23A and 23B, thereby suppressing the deviation of the guide direction of the rail 50a between the front connecting portion 23A and the rear connecting portion 23B. Thus, the driving amount can be adjusted more smoothly.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described form, and can be carried out in an appropriate form. For example, the adjustment unit is not limited to the configuration in which the vertical direction adjustment unit and the horizontal direction adjustment unit are combined, and may have an appropriate configuration as long as the adjustment unit is disposed between the slide unit of the slide mechanism and the magazine body. The front base and the rear base of the base part may be integrated. The base portion may be changed as appropriate in accordance with the configuration of the other side to which the label magazine is attached. The label magazine of the present invention is not limited to an example applied to a neck label, and may be configured as a magazine for various labels. The label application object is not limited to the beverage bowl and may be changed as appropriate.
