Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for correcting the supply position of a container with a handle, etc., for pasting a label or printing a label at an accurate position.

When attaching or printing a label to an ordinary cylindrical container without a handle, the starting position of label attachment or printing hardly matters because the cylindrical container does not have a front or back surface.

However, in the case of a container with a handle, the position of the front of the container is determined, so the label must be displayed in a position that is easy to see when handling or displaying, so there are restrictions on the starting position of label attachment or printing.

Therefore, when labeling containers, the feeding position when feeding the containers to equipment or printing equipment is very important.

Conventionally, as a method to correct the container to the appropriate supply position, for example, the container is mounted on a special rotating table, the container is rotated and transported, and the handle of the container is checked with a phototube to check the rotation of the container. There is a way to stop it.

However, the above method has the following problems.

<B> Because the rotating container is stopped suddenly, a slight error occurs in the stopping position.

<Exposure> It is necessary to arrange an optical N tube and a platform scale device with a complicated structure to give the container simultaneous rotation a3 and revolution motion.

Therefore, the structure of the device becomes complicated.

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it has a simple structure and a handle that allows containers, etc. to be repaired and supplied in an accurate position (=I). The purpose is to provide equipment.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described, but first, an embodiment in which a label is pasted will be described.

[Overall Arrangement of Icos In FIG. 1, 1 is a container with a handle 11, and this container 1 is transported linearly by a known screw conveyor 2.

Star 3 is placed in front of screw conveyor 2,
A drum 4 for pasting a label, for example, is arranged at a position close to the star 3.

The pasting drum 4 has a large number of negative pressure holes (not shown) on its circumferential surface, and absorbs labels 9 supplied from a label boulder or cutter device, etc. on its circumferential surface, and releases negative pressure immediately after contacting the container 1. It is possible to adopt a known structure in which the labels 9 are cut and the labels 9 are sequentially pasted on the containers 1.

[Explanation] The star and star 3 are composed of one or more disk bodies, and are configured to be rotatable with the center fixed at the rotation 1'11132.

Receptacle grooves 31 are formed at equal intervals on the circumferential surface of the star 3.

The base support has a total of 31 locations, and the L-shaped correction arm 5 consisting of a shaft support 51 and a stop part 52 is attached to the bin 5 parallel to the plate surface of the star 3.
Pivotally supported with 3.

The correction arm 5 is arranged so that the shaft support 51 faces the rotation direction of the star 3, and the stop part 52 is located in the groove 31 of the receiver 1 slightly offset from the center of the container 1. A pin 53 is inserted in the middle of the branch 51 so that the tip of the stop portion 52 can move forward and backward within the receiving groove 37 when the correction arm 5 rotates.

A buffer body 6 such as a coil spring is connected to one end of the shaft support 51.

Further, in order to prevent the container 1 from flying out, a guide 7 is arranged parallel to the circumferential surface of the star 3.

[C] Autorotation mechanism The present invention provides positive rotational motion to the container 1 when storing and transporting the container 1 within the receiving groove 31.

In order to impart rotational motion to the striking tool, a device with a complicated structure was used for the rotation, but in the case of the present invention, a device with a simple structure as shown in FIG. 2, for example, can be used.

In other words, the floor surface on which the container 1 is stored in the receiving groove 31 and transferred is composed of two floor surfaces, a stationary bed 71 and a rotating bed 8, and the rotating bed 8 is integrated on the axis of rotation @32. Place the fixed bed 71 outside the rotating bed 8.

Both methods 8.71 are arranged on the same plane, with a small gap between them so as not to brake the rotation of the rotating bed.

Therefore, the bottom of the container 1 to be transferred is the fixed bed 71 and the rotating bed 8.
As a result, container 1
unidirectional rotational motion occurs.

This rotation does not have to be accurate; it is only necessary to make one rotation at most within the allowable rotation range, and normally the arm will prevent the rotation from occurring before the rotation is complete.

It is also conceivable to arrange the rotating bed 8, such as the J3 fixed bed 71, in a position opposite to that in the above case.

Next, the operation will be explained.

[The container 1 is transferred to the rotating star 3 by the supply screw conveyor 2 of the container.

At this time, the container '1 is supplied to the star 3 with the handle 11 in an irregular position.

[Opening] The container 1 that approaches the circumferential surface of the correction star 3 of the handle position is housed in the receiver GJ i+Y+ 31 from which the stop portion 52 protrudes by aligning the handle position.

Since a part of the floor surface (rotating bed 8) of the container 1 housed in the receiving groove 31 is rotating, the container 1 does not rotate and is transferred in the direction of the buttram 4.

In other words, circular motion of rotation and revolution occurs in the container 1.

Then, the handle 11 rotates together with the container 1, and the repair i1. ',
7- When the container 1 comes into contact with the stop portion 52 of the arm 5, the rotation of the container 1 is stopped.

Since the stop portion 52 restricts the rotation of the container 1, the container 1 continues to be transferred without rotating at all.

Therefore, no matter which direction the handle 11 is located, the container 1
By rotating the handle 11 and bringing the handle 11 into contact with the stop portion 52 of the correction arm 5, correction can be easily performed.

Also, during the transfer, an external force acts on the correction arm 5 to push it out in the rotational direction of the star 3, but since the five shaft supports of the correction arm 5 are arranged in the rotational direction of the star 3, these external forces are absorbed by the pin. It is absorbed by the portion 53 and does not have any adverse effect on the rotation of the correction arm 5.

Therefore, there is no fear that the stop position of the handle 11 will shift.

When applying a label to U, the container 1 is stored in the receiving groove 31 with its rotation stopped by the correction arm 5, and the application approaches the circumferential surface of the drum 4.

Since the fixing position of the container 1 is regulated in advance according to the starting position of label 9 pasting <j
The label 9 is encountered at the position closest to the circumferential surface of the drum 4, and the label is pasted.

Since the present invention is as explained above, the following effects can be expected.

This is a simple structure in which the position of the container can be corrected by locking the handle protruding into the container with the stop of the correction arm.

Therefore, there is no need for complicated devices as in the past.

The handle does not detect the handle with a phototube or the like, but physically contacts the correction arm to stop the rotation of the container.

Therefore, there is no room for error in the stopping position.
The rotation can be stopped at an accurate position.

<C> Changing the dimensions of the correction arm allows it to be applied to containers of various shapes, and the stopping position of the container can be finely adjusted by adjusting the corner when attaching the stop part of the correction arm. I can do it.

(2) It can be used not only for pasting labels but also for printing processes, making it highly versatile.
