Description

The present invention relates to a labeling device that automatically attaches a label for display or eye catch to a variety of products, packaging containers and the like in a three-dimensionally folded state.
Various products, packaging containers, and the like are not particularly limited, and can be applied to various products such as cosmetics, chemicals, and beverage containers.

In general, labels to be applied to products and product packaging containers are applied to the flat or smooth curved surface part of the product or product packaging container that has an adhesive applied to the entire back surface and located on the front side of the product or product packaging container. Is almost. In other words, since the entire back surface of the label base layer is generally attached to the surface of an article such as a packaging container via an adhesive layer, the entire sheet body of the label is entirely on the surface of the article. It is fixed.
In so-called flat labels, in order to attract consumers' attention and improve the function as an eye catcher, the label outline is cut into a shape that attracts attention rather than a rectangle. And other measures have been taken such as printing.

In recent years, so-called three-dimensional labels have attracted attention as labels that have attracted the attention of consumers and have improved functions as eye catchers.
For example, a necker label (neck label) as shown in FIG. 32 is known as a three-dimensional label. As shown in FIG. 32, the necker label disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-335802 includes a long hole opening into which the neck is inserted, and the long hole opening has a maximum length in the short direction. The necker label is shorter than the outer diameter of the base end portion of the neck portion, the maximum length in the longitudinal direction is longer than the outer diameter of the base end portion of the neck portion, and shorter than the maximum width of the front surface of the container body.

Such a necker label is three-dimensionally packaged with respect to the packaging container, and is excellent in eye catching.
As an automatic machine that performs a sticker attaching process of a necker label as shown in FIG. 32, for example, a necker labeling device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-2036 or a necker labeling disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-175524 is available. The device is known. A machine that automatically attaches to a neck of a packaging container such as a bottle while bending a necker label with a necker labeling device has been developed.

For example, a stand-pop label as shown in FIG. 33 is known as a three-dimensional label. A stand pop label is a label that is pasted so as to stand up from a container by leaving glue only at the lower part of the label. As shown in FIG. 33, the stand pop label disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-138754 and the stand pop label disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-237748 are separated from the free end portion by the non-adhering region L1. A first label sheet 1 having a temporary sticking area L2 that can be peeled off via an agent, and temporarily sticking to the surface of the article A so as to be peelable in the temporary sticking area L2. A stand pop label composed of a second label sheet 2 that overlaps the upper surface of the temporary attachment region L2 and is attached to the upper surface of the temporary attachment region L2 and the surface of the article A is disclosed. Yes.
The non-sticking area L1 corresponding to the upper part of the stand pop label is a free end part that is released from the wall surface of the packaging container, and is posted toward the air from the packaging container, and is excellent in eye catching. It has become.

  As an automatic machine that performs a process of attaching a stand pop label as shown in FIG. 33, for example, a stand pop labeling device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-237748 is known. As shown in FIG. 33, the stand pop labeling device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-237748 is composed of a main labeling device 10 for attaching a main label (ML) and a stand pop labeling for attaching a stand pop label (SL). The apparatus 40 is provided, and once the main label (ML) and the stand pop label (SL) are transferred to the transfer drum 14 via the label transfer means 17, the bottle is pressed and pasted to the bottle (LG). Yes. That is, it is executed as an extension of the conventional main label attaching process.

In recent years, a three-dimensional label as shown in FIG. 34 has attracted attention. In the packaging container with a cap, this three-dimensional label is stretched in a belt shape from the upper front surface of the packaging container to the upper rear surface of the packaging container via the upper surface of the cap. Here, a label as shown in FIG. 34 is called a “hanging label”. The adhesive surface of the “hanging label” is only the part in contact with the front surface of the packaging container, the part in contact with the upper surface of the cap, and the part in contact with the rear surface of the packaging container. It is stretched away from the torso and without any deflection or looseness.
These “hanging labels” are three-dimensionally attached to the packaging container and are excellent in eye-catching, and are also conscious of the meaning of the product as a seal. In many cases, it is a label that can be found on high-end products. For example, it is often used in packaging of high-quality perfumes and cosmetics.

There is no automatic machine capable of accurately performing the “hanging label” sticking process as shown in FIG. 34, and an operator has hung the label by hand in a factory or the like.
As an automatic machine that can be attached to the top of the bottle and the back of the neck via the upper surface of the bottle and the back of the neck without any gaps, as a "hanging label". For example, a labeling device disclosed in JP-A-8-258821 is known. In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-258821, a label to be attached along the outer shape of the top and neck of the bottle is expressed as a “U-shaped label”.

  FIG. 35 is a diagram showing a “U-shaped label” and its labeling device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-258821. As shown in FIG. 35, a label feeder 8 that covers the top of a bottle having a neck is placed on the bottle from above, and the label is clamped from the periphery to the neck of the bottle by the pusher mechanism 12 and the bending pressing means 13. It can be attached “U-shaped” to the neck of the bottle.

JP 2005-335802 A JP 2001-2036 A JP-A-9-175524 JP 2004-138754 A JP 2003-237748 A JP-A-8-258821

In a consumer society full of various products, as one of the factors that influence the sales of products, the appeal that the product packaging gives to consumers is becoming important. Thus, the various three-dimensional labels described above have been developed, and in particular, the “hanging label” shown in FIG. 34 is expected to be widely used in the future as providing a large eye catch.
However, as mentioned above, an automatic machine that can accurately hang a “hanging label” on a bottle such as a packaging container has not been developed. is there. For this reason, the efficiency of attaching a label has not been increased, leading to an increase in cost.

FIG. 36 is a diagram for explaining a problem when the “hanging label” is applied to the cap portion of the bottle using the “U-shaped label” labeling device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-258821.
Since the labeling device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-258821 presses the neck portion of the cap to which the label is attached so as to be sandwiched from the side surface, the pusher mechanism 12 and the bending pressing means 13 are Even if it is adjusted to the diameter of the upper part of the body part, as shown in FIG. 36 (a), the label can only be attached without any gap along the outer shape of the cap of the bottle and the upper part of the body part. As described above, it cannot be hung in a so-called three-dimensional manner.

Further, even if the pusher mechanism 12 and the bending pressing means 13 are adjusted to the diameter of the upper part of the body of the bottle, as shown in FIG. 36 (b), the pin is stretched from the corner of the upper surface of the cap to the shoulder of the bottle body. There is a problem in that it cannot be stretched, causing deflection or looseness. In addition, there is a tendency that wrinkles and twists occur near the shoulder of the bottle body.
When the “hanging label” shown in FIG. 34 is hung on the bottle, it is hung with a pin from the corner on the top surface of the cap to the shoulder of the bottle body, and the shoulder of the bottle body. It is necessary to realize two difficult movements of sticking in a tensioned state so that wrinkles and twists do not occur from the bottom to the bottom, and the two movements must be able to be performed accurately together. In other words, it cannot be said to be a “hanging label” labeling device.
On the other hand, the label is not required to be stuck in a “tensioned state” from the corner of the top surface of the cap to the shoulder of the bottle body, depending on the design of the product package. There is also a need to hang three-dimensionally in a “loose and relaxed state”. If the hanged label becomes “loosely distorted”, the belly of the label bulges forward, and there may be an effect that it becomes an interesting package design with appealing power to make the product stand out in three dimensions. is there.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention controls the posture freely from the corner of the upper surface of the cap to the shoulder of the bottle body, and hangs three-dimensionally in a so-called “tightened state” or a so-called “loosely sagged state”. It is another object of the present invention to provide a labeling device that can accurately hang a packaging container such as a bottle with a cap.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises the following arrangement. Note that the constituent elements described below can be used in any combination as much as possible. In addition, aspects or technical features of the present invention are not limited to those described below, but are described in the entire specification and drawings, or can be understood by those skilled in the art from those descriptions. It should be understood that it is recognized on the basis of.

The labeling device of the present invention is a labeling device that hangs a label on a bottle having a body portion and a cap portion, and a pair of swing arm portions that suck and hold the non-adhesive surface of the label by suction. An operating mechanism that causes each of the swing arm portions to perform a first motion according to each first trajectory and then to perform a second motion according to each second trajectory; During the second movement and the second movement, the label is applied from the cap of the bottle to the body while adhering to the non-bonded portion of the non-bonded surface of the label on the suction surface of the swing arm. It is a labeling device that stretches.
With the above-described configuration, when the labeling device of the present invention is used, the label is always attached to an unfinished portion of the label while the label is stretched over the top surface of the cap, the shoulder portion of the cap, the shoulder portion of the trunk portion, and the surface of the trunk portion in this order. On the other hand, it is possible to perform bending as desired in a so-called “tensioned state” or so-called “relaxed state” by bending it with a predetermined movement locus while accurately controlling the posture holding by the suction.

As described above, when the labeling device of the present invention is used, it is possible to fold the unbonded portion of the label along a predetermined movement locus while accurately controlling the posture holding by the suction.
[Control of tension in tension state]
For example, in the basic configuration, the first trajectory is a rotation trajectory centered on the first rotation axis near the shoulder of the cap portion, as a configuration for controlling the tension in a tensioned state, When the first rotation shaft is decentered toward the center side or the body side from the shoulder portion of the cap portion, the swing arm portion is more than the rotation locus that the label draws around the shoulder portion of the cap portion. It is preferable that the first locus to be drawn is adjusted so as to shift outward. Further, the second trajectory is a rotation trajectory centered on a second rotation axis in the vicinity of the shoulder portion of the trunk portion, and the second rotation axis is closer to the center side than the shoulder portion of the trunk portion or the trunk. By decentering to the lower side of the part, the second trajectory drawn by the swing arm part is adjusted to shift outward rather than the rotational trajectory drawn by the label around the shoulder part of the trunk part. Thus, it is preferable that tension is applied to the unbonded portion of the label in the outer peripheral direction of the swing arm portion.

In addition, with further improvements, in the above basic configuration, the first trajectory is composed of a rotation trajectory centered on the first rotation axis near the shoulder of the cap portion and an outward sliding motion. It is preferably a trajectory, and the first trajectory drawn by the swing arm part is preferably adjusted to shift outward rather than the rotation trajectory that the label draws around the shoulder of the cap part, Further, the second trajectory is a trajectory obtained by combining a rotation trajectory centered on the second rotation axis near the shoulder portion of the trunk portion and an outward sliding motion, and the label is the trunk portion. By adjusting the second locus drawn by the swing arm portion to shift outward rather than the rotation locus drawn around the shoulder portion of the label, the swing is made relative to the unbonded portion of the label. Apply tension to the outer circumference of the arm It is also preferable to a.
With the above configuration, the tension that is pulled automatically in the outer peripheral direction is appropriately applied to the unbonded portion of the label automatically with the movement of the swing arm, and the label is accurately placed with a simple configuration and a small number of work steps. It is possible to perform the tension in the “tensioned state”.

[Controlling the tension in a loosely laid state]
For example, in the above basic configuration, the first trajectory is a rotation trajectory centered on the first rotation axis near the shoulder of the cap portion, as a configuration for controlling the tension in a loosely distorted state, Since the first rotation shaft is eccentric to the outer peripheral side or the upper side from the shoulder portion of the cap portion, the swing arm portion draws more than the rotation trajectory that the label draws around the shoulder portion of the cap portion. It is preferable that the first trajectory is adjusted so as to shift in the inner circumferential direction, thereby giving a force to shift the incomplete circumferential portion of the label in the inner circumferential direction of the swing arm portion. . Further, the second trajectory is a rotation trajectory centered on a second rotation axis in the vicinity of the shoulder portion of the trunk portion, and the second rotation axis is closer to the center side than the shoulder portion of the trunk portion or the trunk. By decentering to the lower side of the part, the second trajectory drawn by the swing arm part is adjusted to shift outward rather than the rotational trajectory drawn by the label around the shoulder part of the trunk part. Thus, it is preferable that tension is applied to the unbonded portion of the label in the outer peripheral direction of the swing arm portion.
In addition, further improvements are made, and in the above basic configuration, the first trajectory is composed of a rotation trajectory centered on the first rotation axis near the shoulder of the cap portion and a sliding motion in the inner circumferential direction. By adjusting the first trajectory drawn by the swing arm portion to shift in the inner circumferential direction rather than the rotation trajectory drawn around the shoulder portion of the cap portion by the label, It is also preferable to apply a force to shift the inward direction of the swing arm portion to the unbonded portion of the label. Further, the second trajectory is a trajectory obtained by combining a rotation trajectory centered on the second rotation axis near the shoulder portion of the trunk portion and an outward sliding motion, and the label is the trunk portion. By adjusting the second locus drawn by the swing arm portion to shift outward rather than the rotation locus drawn around the shoulder portion of the label, the swing is made relative to the unbonded portion of the label. It is also preferable to apply tension in the outer peripheral direction of the arm portion.
With the above configuration, a force that shifts in the inner circumferential direction is appropriately applied to the unadhered portion of the label automatically with the movement of the swing arm, and the label is accurately loosened with a simple configuration and a small number of work steps. It is possible to carry out the “hanging state”.
Next, in the labeling device of the present invention, the two stages of the first movement and the second movement are performed. By linking them together, the work man-hours and the number of parts can be simplified. . As one of the means for realizing the above, the first rotation axis that has become the rotation axis of the first trajectory of the swing arm in the first motion is used as the second trajectory in the second motion. It is possible to devise a change to a rotational movement around the second rotation axis serving as the rotation axis. That is, the first rotation axis that is the rotation axis of the first trajectory of the swing arm in the first movement is changed from the position of the first movement axis in the second movement, and the first rotation axis is not a rotation axis but a part of the arm of the swing arm. Change to a rotational motion around the rotation axis of 2. By doing so, it is possible to simplify the work man-hours and the number of parts.
Here, as described above, in the labeling device of the present invention, the two-stage movement of the first movement and the second movement is performed, and the timing of the transition is determined by the label moved by the first movement. The second movement is assumed to be brought into contact with the shoulder of the trunk.

Next, pay attention to the movement of the swing arm.
When starting the first movement, each swing arm is substantially horizontal, and the swing arm sucks and maintains the substantially planar label from the non-adhesive surface side by suction.
At the end of the first movement, each of the swing arms is in an open state at an angle so as to substantially contact the shoulder portion of the trunk portion from the shoulder portion of the cap. During this movement, the swing arm is deformed so as to be hung from the shoulder portion of the cap to the shoulder portion of the trunk portion, and is hung from the adhesive surface side.
Further, the swing arms are substantially parallel to each other so as to face each other so as to sandwich the trunk portion when the second movement is finished. In this movement, the label is deformed so as to hang from the shoulder portion of the body portion to the surface of the body portion, and is applied from the adhesive surface side.
As described above, the labeling device of the present invention is a device that hangs the label on the cap and the body of the bottle while deforming the label with the swing arm as an important component. As an example of an operation mechanism that causes the first movement on the locus and the second movement on the second locus, a linear drive mechanism that performs a linear movement, and the power of the linear movement of the drive mechanism is the swing arm. There is a configuration provided with a link mechanism for transmitting to the power point. The force transmitted to the force point by the link mechanism becomes a rotational moment of motion about the first rotation axis during the first motion in the swing arm, and the second moment during the second motion. It is configured to have a rotational motion moment about the second rotational axis, and the swing arm is caused to perform a desired motion in two stages.

The labeling apparatus of the present invention can perform continuous automatic labeling processing.
Therefore, in addition to the above configuration, a bottle feeder that feeds the bottle and a label feeder that feeds the label are provided. The first motion and the second motion are reversible, and the second motion is finished. Thereafter, it is preferable that the reversing motion of the second motion returns and then the initial state is restored by the reversing motion of the first motion, so that the continuous automatic labeling process can be performed.
In addition, regarding the label, it is preferable to use a label in which an adhesive is applied to a portion in contact with the bottle and no adhesive is applied to a portion not in contact with the bottle. When it is stretched, a portion that does not come into contact with the bottle is generated on the adhesive surface of the label. However, if no adhesive is applied to the portion, dust or foreign substances such as dust do not adhere to the portion.

  Moreover, the labeling apparatus of this invention can be integrated as a labeling apparatus in the packaging packaging apparatus which performs packaging packaging of goods. That is, the present invention can also be understood as a packaging packaging device.

According to the labeling apparatus of the present invention, while the label is stretched in order on the top surface of the cap, the shoulder portion of the cap, the shoulder portion of the trunk portion, and the surface of the trunk portion, it is always applied by suction to the unbonded portion of the label Bending along a predetermined motion trajectory while accurately controlling the posture holding can be performed freely in a predetermined manner in a so-called “tensioned state” or a so-called “loosely slackened state”.
If it can be automated while controlling the posture of label hanging freely, it will be possible to respond to various requirements of product package design, and it has appealing power to make products stand out in three dimensions. An interesting package design can be automatically packaged.

Embodiments of a labeling device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, it goes without saying that the scope of the present invention is not limited to those shown in the following examples.
First, as a first embodiment, a basic configuration example of the labeling device 100 of the present invention is shown. The label is attached to the upper surface of the cap, the shoulder portion of the cap, the shoulder portion of the trunk portion, and the trunk portion, so-called “pins”. The example of the apparatus structure which performs the control of the type hung up in a "state" is shown.
Next, as a second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, a type of control in which the label is stretched in a so-called “pinned state” is performed, but an apparatus configuration example different from the first embodiment is shown. .
Next, as a third embodiment, an apparatus for performing a control of a type in which the label is hung on the upper surface of the cap, the shoulder portion of the cap, the shoulder portion of the trunk portion, and the trunk portion in a so-called “loosely slacken state”. A configuration example is shown.
Next, as in the third embodiment, as in the third embodiment, the apparatus is configured so as to control the label in a so-called “loosely swelled state”, in particular, with a large sag so that the belly of the label looks swollen. An example is shown.

[Example of device configuration for controlling pattern 1 in which labels are stretched in a “tensioned state”]
A configuration example of the labeling apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Example 1 is an example of an apparatus configuration that performs control of a type in which a label is hung on a top surface of a cap, a shoulder portion of a cap, a shoulder portion of a trunk portion, and a trunk portion in a so-called “pinned state”. is there.
The bottle 300 is not particularly limited as long as it has a cap part 310 and a body part 320. For example, the bottle 300 will be described as a shampoo bottle here. In the following drawings, when the bottle 300 is illustrated, it is simply drawn around the cap 310 and the body 320.

FIG. 1 is a diagram simply showing the structure and operation of a swing arm 110, a drive mechanism 120, and a link mechanism 130 in the configuration of the labeling apparatus 100 of the present invention.
FIG. 1A is a diagram simply showing the structure from the front, and FIG. 1B is a plan view simply showing the structure from the upper surface (in the following description, the label 200 is hung) (The explanation will be made in the direction in which the stretched direction is the left-right direction).
FIG. 2 is an exploded view showing each component of the labeling apparatus 100 of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the labeling device 100 of the present invention has at least a swing arm 110, a drive mechanism 120, and a link mechanism 130 as members.
In addition, although the bottle feeder which feeds the bottle 300 and the label feeder which feeds the label 200 are not illustrated in FIG. 1, it is assumed to be provided.

The swing arm 110 includes an arm portion 111, a first connection point 112, a second connection point 113, and a suction surface 114.
The pair of left and right arms 111 holds the label 200 in a state where the label 200 is attracted to the upper side by the suction supplied to the suction surface 114 on the inner surface (lower surface), respectively, It is a mechanism that realizes the bonding operation while changing the angle and pressing the bottle 200 against the bottle 300 while it is deformed.
The method of the suction supplied to the suction surface 114 of each arm portion 111 of the swing arm 110 is not particularly limited. For example, one end of a pipe line (not shown) is located on the inner surface of each arm of the swing arm 110, and the pipe line The other end of the swing arm 110 is connected to a suction pump, the internal air pressure is appropriately lowered, and a suction may be generated on each suction surface 114 of the swing arm 110.

  The non-adhesive surface side of the label 200 faces the inner surface of each arm 111 of the swing arm 110. The label 200 is sucked by suction from the non-adhesive surface side and is held on the inner surface of each arm 111. On the other hand, the adhesive surface of the label is fed so as to be described later and held so as to face the bottle located below.

The swing arm 110 is connected to the second drive unit 124 of the drive mechanism 120 at the first connection point 112, and is connected to the end 132 of the link mechanism 130 at the second connection point.
Here, in the configuration of the first embodiment, the first rotating shaft 112 is at a position slightly decentered toward the center side from the corner portion 311 that is a corner of the upper surface of the cap portion 310, as will be described later. In this way, the first rotation shaft 112 in the first motion is eccentric to the center side slightly from the corner portion 311 which is the corner of the upper surface of the cap portion 310, thereby applying a suction to the label 200 described later. In addition, an effect of applying an appropriate tension in the outer peripheral direction can be provided. This point will be described in detail later.

  Each of the pair of left and right arms 111 of the swing arm 110 repeats a predetermined operation as shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 8 as one stroke by the interlocking of the drive mechanism 120 and the link mechanism 130 which are operating mechanisms.

The predetermined operation performed by the swing arm 110 includes a first movement according to a first locus shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 to be described later, and a second movement following a second locus shown in FIG. It is a two-stage exercise.
As will be described later, in the first movement, the first connection point 112 functions as the first rotation axis, and the force applied from the link mechanism 130 to the second connection point 113 becomes the rotational force moment F1, and the swing is performed. The arm 110 performs a rotational motion around the first connection point 112.
As will be described later, in the second movement, one point (the shoulder 321 of the bottle) of the arm portion 111 of the swing arm 110 serves as the second rotation axis, and is applied from the link mechanism 130 to the second connection point 113. The applied force becomes a rotational force moment F2, and the swing arm 110 performs a rotational motion around the second rotational axis.
The first movement and the second movement will be described later in detail.

  Next, the drive mechanism 120 is a drive mechanism that moves up and down. As shown in the exploded view of FIG. 2, in this configuration example, the drive mechanism 120 includes a drive shaft 121, a groove 122, a base 123, a second drive shaft 124, and a second groove 125.

The drive shaft 121 moves up and down in the groove 122, and is movable up and down as shown in FIGS. The mechanism for moving the drive shaft 121 in the vertical direction is not particularly limited. For example, the drive shaft 121 is electrically driven by an actuator, the piston is moved by a pneumatic mechanism, or the motor and gear are moved up and down. good.
In this configuration example, the drive shaft 121 is also a shaft of a pair of link mechanisms 130 and presses a force point 131 on the link mechanism 130 as will be described later. A rotational moment is applied to the swing arm 110 via the link mechanism 130 as the drive shaft 121 moves up and down.

  The groove 122 is a groove that serves as a guide for the drive shaft 121 as described above. In this configuration example, the grooves are cut in the vertical direction, and the drive shaft 121 is guided to move in the vertical direction.

  The base 123 is a base structure. Here, the swing arm 110, the drive mechanism 120, and the entire link mechanism 130 are supported.

  As will be described later, the second drive shaft 124 is a portion that becomes the first rotation axis of the swing arm 110 during the first movement, and is not a rotation axis during the second movement. The drive portion rotates in accordance with the rotation operation of the swing arm 110 that rotates about the second rotation axis.

  The second groove portion 125 is a groove that serves as a guide for the second drive shaft 124. During the first movement, as shown in FIG. 5, the second drive shaft 124 becomes the first rotation shaft and does not move. Therefore, the second drive shaft 124 is positioned at the inner end of the second groove 125. In this movement, as shown in FIG. 7, the second drive shaft 124 moves from the inner end to the outer end of the second groove portion 125.

The link mechanism 130 is a mechanism that transmits the power of the vertical movement of the drive mechanism 120 to the power point 113 of the swing arm 110. In this configuration example, an end 131 and an end 132 are provided.
The end 131 is connected to the drive unit 121 of the drive mechanism 120, and the end 132 is connected to the power point 113 of the swing arm 110.
The force transmitted to the second connection point 113 of the swing arm 110 by the link mechanism 130 is the first rotation of the swing arm 110 as a first movement, and the second drive unit 124 serving as the first rotation axis is used as a fulcrum. A movement moment F1 is applied, and then a rotation movement moment F2 with the shoulder 321 of the bottle serving as the second rotation axis as a fulcrum is applied as the second movement.

In this configuration example, the drive mechanism 120 and the link mechanism 130 work together to form an operating mechanism for the swing arm 110.
Hereinafter, the first movement and the second movement for moving the swing arm 110 in conjunction with the drive mechanism 120 and the link mechanism 130 will be described in detail.

First, the first exercise will be described.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an approach motion to the bottle 300 that is performed prior to the first motion.
First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the labeling device 100 receives a label 200 from a label feeder (not shown), and a lower surface of the arm of the swing arm 110 by the suction supplied to the suction surface 114 of the swing arm 110. The label 200 is held by suction. Further, the bottle 300 is fed by a bottle feeder (not shown) and is installed directly below the labeling device 100.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the entire labeling device 100 is moved downward by a drive mechanism (not shown), and the label 200 is appropriately pressed against the upper surface of the cap 310 of the bottle 300. Approach to move down to the position.
Up to this procedure, the center portion of the label 200 is attached to the upper surface of the cap 310 of the bottle 300.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the first rotating shaft 124 and the shoulder of the cap 310 of the bottle 300 at the time when the first movement starts. 4A is a diagram showing the relationship from a side view, and FIG. 4B is a diagram showing the relationship in a plan view.
In this example, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the first rotating shaft 112 and the second driving unit 124 are slightly more than the shoulders 321 that are the corners of the upper surface of the cap unit 310. The position is eccentric to the center.

FIG. 5 is a diagram simply illustrating an example of the first movement of the swing arm 110.
The state of FIG. 3B is a state at the time of starting, and in the state at the time of starting in the first motion of the swing arm 110, each swing arm 110 is substantially horizontal. In this state, the label 200 is sucked and held by suction from the non-adhesive surface side on the arm suction surface 114 of the swing arm 110.

FIG. 5A shows a state where the rotation of the swing arm 110 is slightly advanced from the starting state of FIG. The rotation of the rotational motion in the first degree of rotation rotates around the first rotating shaft 112 (second driving unit 124).
When the drive mechanism 120 moves downward, the end portion 132 of the link mechanism 130 moves to the outer peripheral side, and the force F1 is transmitted so as to push the second connection point 113 of the swing arm 110 to the outer peripheral side. As shown in FIG. 5A, the vector of the force F1 functions as a rotational moment with respect to the connection point 111 connected to the first rotating shaft 124. As a result, the swing arm 110 is moved to the first rotating shaft. It rotates around 112 (second drive unit 124).
When the drive mechanism 120 continues to move downward, the link mechanism 130 continues to move to the outer peripheral side, and the force F1 that pushes the second connection point 113, which is the power point of the swing arm 110, continues to be applied. The swing arm 110 continues to rotate around the first rotation shaft 112 (second drive unit 124) until the movement is completed.
As shown in FIG. 5B, the first movement is finished when one point of the arm portion 111 of the swing arm 110 contacts the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320.

Here, the force that the label 200 receives during the first movement will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3A, the starting state of the swing arm 110 in the first motion is such that the arm portion 111 of each swing arm 110 is open substantially horizontally. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5B, the state at the end of the first movement of the swing arm 110 is that each swing arm 110 is substantially in contact with the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320 from the corner portion 311 of the cap 310. It is in an open state at such an angle. During the first movement, the label 200 is always held on the inner surface of the arm of the swing arm 110 while being sucked by the suction.

FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically illustrating the rotation of the swing arm 110 according to the first movement locus and the actual movement locus of the label 200.
As shown in FIG. 6, when the swing arm 110 performs a rotational motion (first trajectory) around the first rotation shaft 112 (second drive unit 124) serving as a rotation shaft, The point moves while drawing a rotation locus around the first rotation axis 112. Here, in the first movement of the swing arm 110, the part of the swing arm 110 that was located at the point A11 at the time of starting moves to the point A12.

However, since the label 200 is in contact with the corner 311 of the cap 310, the label 200 is forced to draw a trajectory that rotates about the corner 311 of the cap 310 as the rotation axis. Therefore, the label portion that has been sanctified at the position of the point A11 at the start of the first movement of the swing arm 110 is positioned at the point A12 ′ at the end of the first movement of the swing arm 110. .
That is, in this way, the center of the rotation trajectory of the swing arm 110 is decentered from the corner 311 of the cap, which is the center of the rotation trajectory of the label 200, toward the center side, so that the label 200 during the first movement. Is adjusted so that the first locus drawn by the swing arm portion 110 shifts in the outer circumferential direction rather than the rotation locus drawn around the corner portion 311 of the cap portion 310.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the first trajectory drawn by the swing arm unit 110 continues to shift outward, so that the swing arm unit 110 in contact with the label 200 is gradually shifted outward. It becomes. The label 200 is merely held by suction on the inner surface of the arm of the swing arm unit 110 and is not fixed, but is slidable along the inner surface of the swing arm unit 110. As a result, the label 200 is not bonded. The end portion has an effect of being pulled by receiving tension on the outer peripheral side during the first rotational movement.

As a result of the first movement, the unbonded portion of the label 200 is pulled as if it is under tension on the outer peripheral side, and as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the corner 311 of the cap 310 to the shoulder of the body 320. The portion 321 is stretched in a tensioned state. In this way, in the first movement, the label 200 is stretched in a state where it is tightly stretched from the corner 311 of the cap 310 to the shoulder 321 of the body 320 without causing any deflection or looseness with respect to the bottle 300. The
When the moved label 200 comes into contact with the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320 by the first motion, a transition is made to the second motion. As described above, the first motion and the second motion of the swing arm 110 are continuous, and both are executed as a series of motions.

  Here, the reason for the transition from the first motion to the second motion is that when the swing arm 110 abuts against the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320, a drag force is received there. The rotation around the rotation shaft 124 cannot be performed. However, as will be described later, since the driving force of the driving mechanism 120 continues to be applied to the second connection point 113 as a power point via the link mechanism 130, the force F2 is newly applied to the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320. This acts as a rotational moment that rotates around the second rotation axis that is newly formed in the vicinity, and as a result, a new second motion different from the first motion is started.

Next, an example of the second motion of the swing arm 110 will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram simply showing an example of the second motion of the swing arm 110. FIG. 7A shows a state at the start of the second movement of the swing arm 110, and FIG. 7B shows a state at the end of the second movement of the swing arm 110. Yes.
In this example, the second trajectory of the swing arm 110 is a rotation trajectory centered on the second rotation axis in the vicinity of the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the start state of the swing arm 110 in the second motion is the same as the end state in the first motion of the swing arm 110 shown in FIG. 5B. Each swing arm 110 is in an open state at an angle so as to substantially contact the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320 from the corner portion 311 of the cap 310. Even in this state, the label 200 is sucked and held by suction from the non-adhesive surface side on the inner surface of the arm of the swing arm 110.

Here, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the drive mechanism 120 continues to move downward from the first motion, the link mechanism 130 further moves to the outer peripheral side, and the force point 113 of the swing arm 110 is changed. The force F2 is transmitted so as to push out to the outer peripheral side. The force F2 functions as a rotational moment with respect to the second rotation axis, and as a result, the swing arm 110 starts a new rotation.
When the drive mechanism 120 continues to move downward, the link mechanism 130 continues to move to the outer peripheral side, and the force F2 that pushes the force point 113 of the swing arm 110 to the outer peripheral side is continuously applied, and the swing arm is continued until the second movement is completed. 110 continues to rotate.

It should be noted that the second drive unit 124 and the first connection point 112 that are the first rotation axis that is the rotation axis of the first locus of the swing arm 110 in the first movement rotate in the second movement. Instead of being a shaft, a rotational movement about the second rotation axis serving as the rotation axis of the second trajectory is performed as one part of the arm member of the swing arm 110.
When the swing arm 110 comes into contact with the surface of the trunk portion 320, the second movement is finished.

  Here, even during the second movement, it is possible to devise a technique for applying a tension in the outer peripheral direction to the label 200. Also in the second movement, the center of the rotation trajectory of the swing arm 110 and the center of the rotation trajectory of the label 200 are decentered, so that the label 200 moves the shoulder 321 of the body 320 during the second movement. What is necessary is just to adjust so that the 2nd locus | trajectory which the swing arm part 110 draws may shift outward rather than the rotation locus | trajectory drawn in the center.

  As a result of the second movement, the unbonded portion of the label 200 is stretched in a state of being pinched from the shoulder portion 321 of the body portion 320 toward the surface of the body portion 320. In this way, in the second movement, the label 200 is stretched in a state in which the label 300 is taut from the shoulder portion 321 of the body portion 320 to the surface of the body portion 320 without causing the bottle 300 to bend or loosen. Is done.

  As described above, the first motion and the second motion of the swing arm 110 are continuous, and both are executed as a series of motions, whereby the label 200 is placed on the upper surface of the cap portion 310 with respect to the bottle 300. The cap 310 is hooked in a state of being stretched from the corner portion 311 of the cap portion 310 to the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320, and is further tensioned in the state of being hooked from the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320 to the surface of the trunk portion 320. It is hung with.

  The series of first movement and second movement is executed by the swing arm 110 operating via the link mechanism 130 by the downward movement of the drive mechanism 120. Here, FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the first movement and the second movement are reversible, and after the second movement is finished, the drive mechanism 120 moves upward, so that the swing arm 110 is moved through the link mechanism 130. The reversible motion of the second motion returns to the starting state of the second motion, and then the reversible motion of the first motion returns to the initial state. By repeating the movements shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, continuous automatic labeling can be performed.

[Second Example of Device Configuration for Controlling Pattern 2 for Hanging Labels in “Pinched State”]
A configuration example of the labeling apparatus 100a according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The second embodiment is a configuration example in which the position where the first rotating shaft 112 (second driving unit 124) is provided is different from the configuration example of the first embodiment.
In the following, constituent elements not specifically described may be the same as those shown in the first embodiment.
The labeling device 100a according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a configuration including at least a swing arm 110a, a drive mechanism 120a, and a link mechanism 130a as members as in FIG. 1 showing the configuration of the first embodiment. Yes. The mechanism by which the swing arm 110a operates by interlocking the drive mechanism 120a and the link mechanism 130a may be the same as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 9 is a diagram simply showing the configuration of the labeling apparatus 100a according to the present invention in the second embodiment. FIG. 9A is a side view, and FIG. 9B is a top side view.
As shown in FIG. 9, each component of the labeling device 100a according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as each component of the labeling device 100 of the present invention according to the first embodiment. Is provided such that the first rotation shaft 112a of the swing arm 110a is positioned below the suction surface 114a of the arm portion 111a. In addition, a second driving part 124a and a second groove part 125a on the base part 123a are provided below the first rotating shaft 112a.
By disposing these components below, the first rotating shaft 112a is controlled to be eccentric to the lower side than the shoulder 311 of the cap portion 310.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an approach motion to the bottle 300 that is performed prior to the first motion, as in FIG. 3.
As shown in FIG. 10B, the labeling device 100 as a whole is moved downward by a drive mechanism (not shown), and the label 200 is appropriately pressed against the upper surface of the cap 310 of the bottle 300. The upper surface of the cap 310 of the bottle becomes the same height as the suction surface 114 holding the label 200, and the first rotating shaft 112a (second drive unit 124a) is a corner portion of the upper surface of the cap 310. It can be seen that it is located below 311. In FIG. 10B, the first rotary shaft 112a (second drive) is shown so that the height relationship between the first rotary shaft 112a (second drive unit 124a) and the cap 310 of the bottle 300 can be easily understood. Part 124a) is shown transparent.

  FIG. 11A is a view showing the relationship between the first rotating shaft 112a (second drive unit 124a) and the corner 311 on the upper surface of the cap 310 in a side view, and FIG. 11A is a first view in a plan view. The rotation shaft 112a (second driving unit 124a) and the corner 311 on the upper surface of the cap 310 are illustrated. It can be seen that the first rotating shaft 112 a (second driving unit 124 a) is located below the corner 311 on the upper surface of the cap 310.

FIG. 12 is a diagram schematically illustrating the rotation according to the first movement locus of the swing arm 110a in the configuration of the second embodiment and the actual movement locus of the label 200.
In this example, the first trajectory of the swing arm 110a is a rotation trajectory centered on the first rotating shaft 112a (second driving unit 124a) near the corner 311 of the cap portion 310. In the example, as shown in FIG. 12, the first rotation shaft 124 a is in a position slightly decentered below the shoulder 311 that is a corner of the upper surface of the cap 310.

As shown in FIG. 11A, in the starting state in the first movement of the swing arm 110a, each swing arm 110a is substantially horizontal.
The state at the end of the first movement of the swing arm 110a is such that each swing arm 110a substantially contacts the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320 from the corner portion 311 of the cap 310, as shown in FIG. It is open at an angle.

FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically illustrating the rotation of the swing arm 110a according to the first movement locus and the actual movement locus of the label 200 in the configuration of the second embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 13, when the swing arm 110a performs a rotational motion (first trajectory) around the first rotation shaft 112a (second drive unit 124a) serving as a rotation shaft, The point moves by drawing a rotation locus around the first rotation axis 112a. Compared to the first embodiment, since the first rotating shaft 112a (second driving unit 124a) is positioned below, the rate of movement downward is large. Here, in the first movement of the swing arm 110a, the part of the swing arm 110a that was located at the point A11 at the time of starting moves to the point A12.

However, since the label 200 is in contact with the corner 311 of the cap 310, the label 200 is forced to draw a trajectory that rotates about the corner 311 of the cap 310 as the rotation axis. Therefore, at the start of the first movement of the swing arm 110a, the label portion that is sanctified at the position of the point A11 is positioned at the point A12 ′ at the end of the first movement of the swing arm 110a. .
That is, in this way, by decentering the center of the rotation trajectory of the swing arm 110 downward with respect to the corner 311 that is the center of the rotation trajectory of the label 200, the label 200 is moved during the first movement. The first locus drawn by the swing arm portion 110a is adjusted to shift in the outer circumferential direction rather than the rotation locus drawn around the corner portion 311 of the cap portion 310.

  That is, as in the first embodiment, the center of the rotation trajectory of the swing arm 110a and the center of the rotation trajectory of the label 200 are decentered up and down in this way, so that the label 200 is capped during the first movement. The first trajectory drawn by the swing arm portion 110a shifts outward from the rotation trajectory drawn around the corner 311 of the portion 310, and the swing arm portion 110a in contact with the label 200 is gradually shifted outward. Become. As shown in FIG. 13, the arm 110a and the label 200 are shifted from each other. However, the label 200 is merely held by suction on the inner surface of the arm of the swing arm portion 110a and is not a stationary arm but a swing arm. As a result, it is possible to slide along the inner surface of the portion 110a. As a result, the unbonded portion of the label 200 can be obtained as if it is pulled against the outer peripheral side under tension.

  However, since the label 200 is in contact with the corner 311 of the cap 310, the label 200 is forced to draw a trajectory that rotates about the corner 311 of the cap 310 as the rotation axis. Therefore, at the start of the first movement of the swing arm 110a, the location of the label that was sanctified at the position of the point A11 is positioned at the point A12 ′ at the end of the first movement of the swing arm 110. Become.

Next, an example of the second movement of the swing arm 110a will be described.
FIG. 14 is a diagram simply showing an example of the second motion of the swing arm 110a.
In this example, the second locus of the swing arm 110a is a rotation locus centered on the second rotation axis in the vicinity of the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320.

As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the starting state of the swing arm 110a in the second movement is such that each swing arm 110a is substantially in contact with the shoulder 321 of the body 320 from the corner 311 of the cap 310. It is open at an angle.
As shown in FIG. 14B, the state of the swing arm 110a at the end of the second movement is substantially parallel so that each swing arm 110 is opposed to sandwich the body 320. .

  As a result of the second movement, the unbonded portion of the label 200 is stretched in a state of being pinched from the shoulder portion 321 of the body portion 320 toward the surface of the body portion 320. In this way, in the second movement, the label 200 is stretched in a state in which the label 300 is taut from the shoulder portion 321 of the body portion 320 to the surface of the body portion 320 without causing the bottle 300 to bend or loosen. Is done.

  The first movement and the second movement of the swing arm 110a are continuous, and both are executed as a series of movements, so that the label 200 moves relative to the bottle 300 with respect to the upper surface of the cap portion 310 and the cap portion 310. It is hung from the corner 311 to the shoulder 321 of the body 320 and is stretched, and is further hung from the shoulder 321 of the body 320 to the surface of the body 320 while being taut. .

  Here, as shown in FIG. 15, the first motion and the second motion are reversible, and after the second motion is finished, the drive mechanism 120a moves upward, via the link mechanism 130a. The swing arm 110a returns to the start state of the second motion by the reversible motion of the second motion, and then returns to the initial state by the reversible motion of the first motion. By repeating the movements shown in FIGS. 9 to 15, continuous automatic labeling can be performed.

  As described above, the first rotation shaft 124 a is set to a position slightly deviated below the shoulder that is a corner of the upper surface of the cap portion 310, and the second rotation shaft is positioned on the upper surface of the trunk portion 320. If the position is deviated slightly below the shoulder portion 321 that is a corner, as in the first embodiment, the unbonded portion of the label 200 has an effect of being pulled under tension on the outer peripheral side. As a result, it can be hung on the corner portion 311 of the bottle cap 310, the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320, and the surface of the trunk portion 320 and beautifully stretched.

[Example of device configuration for controlling pattern 3 for loosely labeling with a margin]
A configuration example of the labeling apparatus 100b according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The third embodiment is a configuration example in which the position where the first rotating shaft 112 (second driving unit 124) is provided and the position where the suction surface 114 is provided are different from the configuration example of the first embodiment.
In the following, constituent elements not specifically described may be the same as those shown in the first embodiment.

Is provided so that the first rotating shaft 112b of the swing arm 110b is positioned above the suction surface 114a. In addition, a second drive part 124b and a second groove part 125b on the base part 123b are provided above the first rotating shaft 112b.
By arranging these components upward, the first rotation shaft 112b is controlled to be eccentric from the shoulder 311 of the cap portion 310 upward.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an approach motion to the bottle 300 that is performed prior to the first motion, as in FIG. 3.
As shown in FIG. 17B, the labeling device 100 as a whole is moved downward by a drive mechanism (not shown), and the label 200 is appropriately pressed against the upper surface of the cap 310 of the bottle 300. The upper surface of the cap 310 of the bottle becomes the same height as the suction surface 114 holding the label 200, and the first rotating shaft 112b (second drive unit 124b) is a corner of the upper surface of the cap 310. It can be seen that it is located above 311. In FIG. 17B, the first rotation shaft 112b (second drive) is shown so that the relationship between the height of the first rotation shaft 112b (second drive unit 124b) and the cap 310 of the bottle 300 can be easily understood. Part 124b) is shown transparent.

  18A is a diagram showing a relationship between the first rotating shaft 112b (second driving unit 124b) and the corner 311 on the upper surface of the cap 310 in a side view, and FIG. 18A is a first diagram in a plan view. The rotation shaft 112b (second driving unit 124b) and the corner 311 on the upper surface of the cap 310 are shown in the drawing. It can be seen that the first rotating shaft 112 b (second driving unit 124 b) is located above the corner 311 on the upper surface of the cap 310.

FIG. 19 is a diagram schematically illustrating the rotation according to the first movement locus of the swing arm 110b in the configuration of the third embodiment and the actual movement locus of the label 200.
In this example, the first trajectory of the swing arm 110b is a rotation trajectory centered on the first rotation shaft 112b (second drive unit 124b) near the corner 311 of the cap 310. In the example, as shown in FIG. 19, the first rotation shaft 112 b (second drive unit 124 b) is in a position eccentric to the upper side of the shoulder 311 that is a corner of the upper surface of the cap unit 310.

As shown in FIG. 18A, when the swing arm 110b is started in the first movement, each swing arm 110b is substantially horizontal.
The end state of the swing arm 110b in the first motion is such that each swing arm 110b is substantially in contact with the shoulder 321 of the body 320 from the corner 311 of the cap 310, as shown in FIG. It is open at an angle.

FIG. 20 is a diagram schematically illustrating the rotation of the swing arm 110b according to the first movement locus and the actual movement locus of the label 200 in the configuration of the third embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 20, when the swing arm 110b performs a rotational motion (first trajectory) around the first rotation shaft 112b (second drive unit 124b) serving as a rotation shaft, The point moves while drawing a rotation locus around the first rotation axis 112b. Compared to the first embodiment, the first rotary shaft 112b (second drive unit 124b) is positioned upward, and thus moves upward as a whole. Here, in the first movement of the swing arm 110b, the part of the swing arm 110b that was located at the point A11 at the time of starting moves to the point A12.

However, since the label 200 is attached in contact with the corner 311 of the cap 310, the label 200 is forced to draw a trajectory that rotates about the corner 311 of the cap 310 as a rotation axis. Therefore, at the time of starting the first movement of the swing arm 110b, the label portion that has been sanctified at the position of the point A11 is positioned at the point A12 ′ at the end of the first movement of the swing arm 110b. .
That is, in this way, the center of the rotation trajectory of the swing arm 110 is decentered upward with respect to the corner portion 311 that is the center of the rotation trajectory of the label 200, so that the label 200 is moved during the first movement. The first locus drawn by the swing arm portion 110b is adjusted to move in the inner circumferential direction rather than the rotation locus drawn around the corner portion 311 of the cap portion 310.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the label 200 is attracted to the suction surface 114 of the arm 110b, and when the arm 110b moves to the inner periphery, the portion of the label 200 adsorbed to the suction surface 114 follows the movement and moves to the inner periphery. Head to the side. In the third embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the label 200 follows the sliding surface 114 without sliding. As a result, the unbonded portion of the label 200 is stretched in a loosely bent state.

Next, an example of the second movement of the swing arm 110b will be described.
FIG. 21 is a diagram simply showing an example of the second movement of the swing arm 110b.
The second trajectory of the swing arm 110b is a rotation trajectory centered on the second rotation axis in the vicinity of the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320, and is the same as in the first and second embodiments. Detailed description of is omitted.

  As a result of the second movement, the unbonded portion of the label 200 is stretched in a state where it is tightly stretched from the shoulder portion 321 of the body portion 320 toward the surface of the body portion 320 without being bent.

  The first movement and the second movement of the swing arm 110b are continuous, and both are executed as a series of movements, so that the label 200 moves relative to the bottle 300 with respect to the upper surface of the cap section 310 and the cap section 310. From the corner 311 to the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320, it is stretched in a loosely bent state, while the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320 is stretched from the shoulder portion 321 to the surface of the trunk portion 320 without being bent.

[Another apparatus configuration example for controlling the pattern 4 for loosely labeling with a margin]
A configuration example of a labeling apparatus 100c according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The fourth embodiment is a configuration example in which the position where the first rotating shaft 112 (second driving unit 124) is provided and the position where the suction surface 114 is provided are different from the configuration example of the third embodiment.
In the following, constituent elements not specifically described may be the same as those shown in the third embodiment.
The labeling device 100c according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention includes at least a swing arm 110c, a drive mechanism, and the like as in FIG. 1 showing the configuration of the first embodiment and FIG. 16 showing the configuration example of the third embodiment. 120c and the link mechanism 130c are provided. The mechanism by which the swing arm 110c operates by interlocking the drive mechanism 120c and the link mechanism 130c may be the same as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating the labeling device 100c according to the fourth embodiment in a state in which the bottle 300 is approached so that the positional relationship of the first rotation shaft 112c of the swing arm 110c can be easily understood.
FIG. 23A is a view showing the relationship between the first rotating shaft 112b (second drive unit 124b) and the corner 311 on the upper surface of the cap 310 in a side view, and FIG. 23A is a first view in a plan view. The rotation shaft 112b (second driving unit 124b) and the corner 311 on the upper surface of the cap 310 are shown in the drawing.
As shown in FIG. 23, each component of the labeling device 100c according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is the same as each component of the labeling device 100 of the present invention according to the first embodiment, but is different. Is provided such that the first rotation shaft 112c of the swing arm 110c is located above the suction surface 114c, and as shown in FIGS. 23 (a) and 23 (b), one of the two The first rotation shaft 112c2 (in this example, the right swing arm 110c2) of the swing arm 110c2 is provided outward from the bottle 300. In addition, a second driving unit 124b and a second groove 125b on the base unit 123c are provided above the first rotating shaft 112b. Further, along with the deformation of the swing arm 110c2, the link mechanism 130c1 projects outward.

FIG. 24 is a diagram schematically illustrating the rotation according to the first movement locus of the swing arm 110c in the configuration of the fourth embodiment and the actual movement locus of the label 200.
In this example, the first trajectory of the swing arm 110c is a rotation trajectory centered on the first rotation shaft 112c (second drive unit 124c) near the corner 311 of the cap portion 310. In the example, as shown in FIG. 24, the first rotating shaft 112 c (second driving unit 124 c) is in a position eccentric to the upper side of the shoulder 311 that is a corner of the upper surface of the cap unit 310. The first trajectory of the swing arm 110c1 rotates around the first rotation shaft 112c1 (second drive unit 124c1) positioned outward from the corner 311 of the bottle cap 310.

As shown in FIG. 23A, when the swing arm 110c is started in the first movement, each swing arm 110c is substantially horizontal.
The state at the end of the first motion of the swing arm 110c is such that each swing arm 110c substantially contacts the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320 from the corner portion 311 of the cap 310, as shown in FIG. It is open at an angle.
Here, as shown in the third embodiment, the label 200 is stretched in a loosely distorted state, but in this fourth embodiment, the label 200 is stretched in a more loosely deflated state.

FIG. 25 is a diagram schematically illustrating the rotation of the swing arm 110c according to the first movement locus and the actual movement locus of the label 200 in the configuration of the fourth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 25, when the swing arm 110c performs a rotation motion (first trajectory) around the first rotation shaft 112c1 (second drive unit 124c1) serving as a rotation shaft, The point moves while drawing a rotation locus around the first rotation axis 112c. Compared to the first embodiment, the first rotary shaft 112c1 (second drive unit 124c1) is positioned upward and outward, and therefore moves upward and to the left as a whole. Here, in the first movement of the swing arm 110b, the part of the swing arm 110c1 that was located at the point A11 at the time of starting moves to the point A12.

However, since the label 200 is attached in contact with the corner 311 of the cap 310, the label 200 is forced to draw a trajectory that rotates about the corner 311 of the cap 310 as a rotation axis. Therefore, at the start of the first movement of the swing arm 110c, the label portion that is sanctified at the position of the point A11 ′ is positioned at the point A12 ′ at the end of the first movement of the swing arm 110c. Become.
That is, in this way, by decentering the center of the rotation trajectory of the swing arm 110 upward and outward with respect to the corner 311 that is the center of the rotation trajectory of the label 200, during the first movement, The first locus drawn by the swing arm portion 110b is adjusted so as to move in the inner circumferential direction rather than the rotation locus drawn around the corner portion 311 of the cap portion 310 by the label 200.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the label 200 is adsorbed to the suction surface 114c of the arm 110b, and when the arm 110c1 moves to the inner periphery, the label 200 portion adsorbed to the suction surface 114c follows the movement and follows the inner periphery. Head to the side. In the fourth embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the label 200 follows the sliding surface 114c without sliding. As a result, the unbonded portion of the label 200 is stretched in a loosely bent state.

Next, an example of the second movement of the swing arm 110c will be described.
FIG. 26 is a diagram simply showing an example of the second motion of the swing arm 110c.
The second trajectory of the swing arm 110c is a rotation trajectory centered on the second rotation axis in the vicinity of the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk 320, and is the same as in the first and second embodiments. Detailed description of is omitted.

  As a result of the second movement, the unbonded portion of the label 200 is stretched in a state where it is tightly stretched from the shoulder portion 321 of the body portion 320 toward the surface of the body portion 320 without being bent.

The first movement and the second movement of the swing arm 110b are continuous, and both are executed as a series of movements, so that the label 200 moves relative to the bottle 300 with respect to the upper surface of the cap section 310 and the cap section 310. From the corner 311 to the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320, it is stretched in a loosely bent state, while the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320 is stretched from the shoulder portion 321 to the surface of the trunk portion 320 without being bent. It is hung with.
As shown in FIG. 27, the label 200 is affixed loosely and the belly portion is swelled three-dimensionally as compared with the state of the left-side tension.

  Here, the first motion and the second motion are reversible, and after the second motion is finished, the drive mechanism 120c moves upward, whereby the swing arm 110c is moved to the second motion via the link mechanism 130c. The reversible motion returns to the starting state of the second motion, and then the reversible motion of the first motion returns to the initial state. The continuous automatic labeling process can be performed by repeating the movements shown in FIGS.

  As described above, if the first rotating shaft 124c is positioned above the shoulder, which is the corner of the upper surface of the cap portion 310, and eccentrically in the outer circumferential direction, the unbonded portion of the label 200 is as if it is an inner portion. The effect of being bent by receiving the force of pushing back against the peripheral side is obtained, and in a state where it is loosely hung on the corner portion 311 of the bottle cap 310, the shoulder portion 321 of the barrel portion 320, and the surface of the barrel portion 320. It can be hung beautifully.

The fifth embodiment is an example in which the first and second motions of the swing arm 110d are motions that include not only rotational movement but also slide movement.
First, a description will be given of a pattern in which a so-called pin is stretched.
In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the effect of pulling the unbonded portion of the label 200 by receiving tension on the outer peripheral side is the corner of the upper surface of the cap portion 310. In the fifth embodiment, in the first movement and the second movement of the swing arm 110d, the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are realized by setting the position eccentric to the center side or the lower side from the shoulder. This is realized not only by the rotational movement around the rotation axis of the above but also by the combined movement of the outward sliding movement.
In the following, constituent elements not specifically described may be the same as those shown in the first embodiment.

  The labeling apparatus 100d according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention has a configuration including at least a swing arm 110d, a drive mechanism 120d, and a link mechanism 130d, as in FIG. 1 showing the configuration of the first embodiment. However, only the swing arm 110d is shown, and the other components are not shown.

FIG. 28 is a diagram schematically illustrating a part of the locus of the first motion drawn by the swing arm 110d according to the fifth embodiment.
The first trajectory of the first motion drawn by the swing arm 110d in the fifth embodiment includes a rotational trajectory centered on the first rotation axis 124d near the corner 311 of the cap portion 310 and an outward slide motion. It is a combined trajectory.
In this way, the structure of the operating mechanism that drives the swing arm 110d to perform not only the rotational movement about the first rotating shaft 124d but also the outward sliding movement is particularly limited. However, for example, when the drive mechanism 120d and the link mechanism 130d are interlocked, a rotational moment is given to the swing arm 110d to cause the swing arm 110d to rotate about the first rotation shaft 124d, and at the same time to the swing arm 110d. On the other hand, a force to push the swing arm 110d outward is superimposed to cause the swing arm 110d to slide outward.

In FIG. 29, as a result of the movement of the swing arm 110b performing not only the rotational movement about the first rotation shaft 124 but also the sliding movement to the outside, the label 200 looks as if it is on the outer peripheral side. It is a figure which shows a mode that the effect pulled under tension is acquired.
FIG. 29A shows a state in which the swing arm 110d is maintained substantially horizontal, but the label 200 is rotated at the corner 311 of the cap portion 310 during the rotational movement in the first movement as shown in FIG. Since the slide movement is superimposed on the first trajectory drawn by the swing arm unit 110d rather than the rotation trajectory drawn around the center, it is shifted outward. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect that the unbonded portion of the label 200 is pulled under tension on the outer peripheral side via the suction on the inner surface portion of the arm of the swing arm portion 110.

  Next, similarly to the case of the second movement, the swing arm unit 110 draws more than the rotation locus that the label 200 draws around the shoulder part 321 of the trunk part 320 as shown in FIG. Since the slide movement is superimposed on the trajectory 2, it is shifted outward. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect that the unbonded portion of the label 200 is pulled under tension on the outer peripheral side via the suction on the inner surface portion of the arm of the swing arm portion 110.

  As described above, in the first movement and the second movement of the swing arm 110, if the movement includes not only the rotational movement but also the slide movement, the label 200 can be moved in the same manner as in the first and second embodiments. The unbonded portion has the effect of being pulled under tension on the outer peripheral side, and is hung on the corner 311 of the bottle cap 310, the shoulder 321 of the body 320, and the surface of the body 320. It can be hung beautifully.

  In the fifth embodiment, the effect of pulling the portion of the label 200 that has not been bonded as if receiving tension on the outer peripheral side is obtained by the configuration in which the swing arm 110d slides outward. However, as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the first rotation shaft is decentered to the center side or the lower side from the shoulder that is the corner of the upper surface of the cap portion 310, and the second rotation A configuration in which the shaft is positioned eccentrically slightly to the center side or the lower side than the shoulder portion 321 that is the corner of the upper surface of the body portion 320 may be combined.

Next, a description will be given of a pattern for hanging in a so-called loosely distorted state.
In the third and fourth embodiments, the effect of loosely receiving the force that is pushed back toward the inner peripheral side with respect to the incompletely bonded portion of the label 200 is that the first rotating shaft is placed on the upper surface of the cap portion 310. However, in the fifth embodiment, in the first movement and the second movement of the swing arm 110e, the first rotation axis is realized. In addition to the rotational movement around the second rotation axis, the movement is realized by combining the sliding movement toward the inner periphery.
In the following, constituent elements not specifically described may be the same as those shown in the third and fourth embodiments.

  The labeling device 100e according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention has a configuration including at least a swing arm 110e, a drive mechanism 120e, and a link mechanism 130e as members as in FIG. 1 showing the configuration of the first embodiment. However, only the swing arm 110e is shown, and the other components are not shown.

FIG. 30 is a diagram schematically illustrating a part of the locus of the first motion drawn by the swing arm 110e according to the fifth embodiment.
The first trajectory of the first motion drawn by the swing arm 110e in the fifth embodiment includes a rotation trajectory centered on the first rotation axis 124e near the corner 311 of the cap portion 310 and a slide motion toward the inner peripheral side. Is a combined trajectory.
In this way, the structure of the operating mechanism that drives the swing arm 110e to perform not only the rotational movement about the first rotation shaft 124e but also the outward sliding movement is particularly limited. However, for example, when the drive mechanism 120e and the link mechanism 130e are interlocked, a rotational moment is given to the swing arm 110e to cause the swing arm 110e to rotate about the first rotation shaft 124e, and at the same time, On the other hand, a force that pushes back toward the inner peripheral side is superimposed, and the swing arm 110e is slid and moved to the inner peripheral side.

FIG. 31 shows that the swing arm 110e moves not only in the rotational movement around the first rotation shaft 124e but also in the inner circumferential direction as a result of the movement along with the sliding movement in the inner circumferential direction. It is a figure which shows a mode that the effect which receives the force pushed back with respect and loosens is acquired.
FIG. 31A shows a state in which the swing arm 110e is maintained substantially horizontal, and the label 200 is rotated at the corner 311 of the cap portion 310 during the first movement as shown in FIG. 31B. Since the slide movement is superimposed on the inner circumference side in the first locus drawn by the swing arm portion 110e rather than the rotation locus drawn around the center, the deviation is shifted in the inner circumference direction. For this reason, the unbonded portion of the label 200 has an effect of being pulled by receiving a force that is pushed back to the inner peripheral side via the suction on the inner surface portion of the arm of the swing arm portion 110e.

  Next, in the case of a rotational movement in the second movement, similarly, as shown in FIG. 31C, the swing arm part 110 e draws the label 200 more than the rotation locus drawn around the shoulder part 321 of the trunk part 320. Since the slide movement in the inner circumferential direction is superimposed on the trajectory 2, it is shifted in the inner circumferential direction. Therefore, the unbonded portion of the label 200 can be loosened by receiving a force pushed back to the inner peripheral side through the suction on the inner surface portion of the arm of the swing arm portion 110e.

  As described above, in the first movement and the second movement of the swing arm 110, if the movement includes not only the rotational movement but also the slide movement, the label 200 of the label 200 is similar to the third and fourth embodiments. The incompletely bonded portion is obtained as if it is loosened by receiving a force that pushes back against the inner peripheral side, and is applied to the corner portion 311 of the bottle cap 310, the shoulder portion 321 of the trunk portion 320, It can be hung and beautifully hung.

  As mentioned above, although the preferred example in the example of composition of the labeling device of the present invention was illustrated and explained, it will be understood that various changes can be made without departing from the technical scope of the present invention.

  The labeling device of the present invention can be applied to widely used labeling devices. In particular, the label can be provided as a labeling device that can be hung beautifully by hanging the label on the shoulder of the bottle cap, the shoulder of the trunk, and the surface of the trunk.
