Description
"LABELLING MACHINES APPLYING SELF-ADHESIVE LABELS"
DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to labelling machines that apply self-adhesive labels to objects, particularly containers .
Labelling machines that separate self adhesive labels from a backing film and transfer them onto the surface of containers are known and widespread used. In these machines the containers are carried by a carrousel and come into contact with a labelling unit. In such a labelling unit, a reel film comprising a support film that carries a plurality of self adhesive labels adhered thereon is delivered, by means of appropriate driving gears, to the containers rotating around the carrousel. Before the application to the container, the self adhesive label is separated by the support film by means of a suitable blade or wedge device. The support film portion separated from the labels is wound again to form a recovering reel.
Typically, the driving system comprises a driving roller that moves the film from the reel to the containers labelling station, a feeding roll that synchronises the label film to the containers and a rewinding motor that recovers the empty portion of the film onto a recovering reel.
While the main carrousel carrying the containers has a continuous motion, the feeding roll and the removing roll move discontinuously . This is due to the fact that the pitch between the containers on the carrousel is greater than the pitch between the labels on the support film, as it is convenient to adhere the labels close together on the support film to save costs, the said film being very expensive with respect to the labels. It is therefore necessary that the feeding roll stops dispensing the labels to the carrousel between an application and the subsequent one.
Also the dispensing reel and the recovering reel are motorized and move of a continuous motion. This means that both upstream the feeding roll and downstream the removing roll the label strip tends to form a loop that lengthen or shorten with an oscillating behaviour, as the rolls stop or move. In fact, when the feeding roll stops, the dispensing reel continues to dispense the film and the loop lengthens. When the feeding roll starts, the loop shortens. The contrary happens for the loop downstream the removing roll.
Normally, the film loop is routed through a box that is called buffer. The control of the loop is typically given by a blower that is positioned outside the buffer, at the other side with respect to the label
film, and that blows air perpendicularly to the label film to push the loop into the box.
However, this conventional solution is not very practical, as the system is bulky, particularly for the presence of the blower. As a consequence, the access to the machine is difficult, particularly in case of maintainance or cleaning operations.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a self-adhesive label feeding system that overcomes the above drawbacks, as defined in the appended claims whose definitions are integral part of the present description.
Further features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the description of preferred embodiments, which are given below by way of a non-limiting illustration, with reference to the following figures:
Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view from the top of the labelling unit for self-adhesive labels according to the invention;
Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective lateral view of the labelling unit of figure 1 ;
Fig. 3 shows a particular of the labelling unit of figure 1 ;
Fig. 4 shows the same particular of figure 3, in a
different embodiment of the invention.
With reference to the figures, the inventive labelling unit, indicated as a whole with the numeral 1, is coupled to a carrousel 2 carrying at its periphery a plurality of objects 3 to be labelled. The objects 3, typically containers, are sustained by suitable platforms and chucks of conventional type (not visible in the schematic view) that also provide for the spinning of each object 3 when it comes into contact with a self adhesive label 4, in order to facilitate the wrapping of the label around the object body. This part of the machine is conventional and therefore will not be described in more details.
The labels 4 are adhered onto a backing to form a labels film 5 that is wound in a motorized dispensing reel 6. The labels film 5 is also pulled by means of a feeding roll 7 that moves the labels film 5 along a path defined by a plurality of tensioning rollers 8, that are mounted neutral, and a fixed wedge means 9 around which the labels film 5 is forced to pass, so that, thanks to the sudden change of direction of the film around the very acute angle formed by the wedge, the detaching of each self adhesive label 4 is facilitated.
The wedge means 9 is positioned adjacent to a vacuum drum 10, that receives the labels 4 detaching
from the labels film 5, as will be described below.
The portion of the labels film 5 that is then free from the labels, thus constituting a backing film 5' , is pulled by a removing roll 11 and sent towards a recovering reel (not shown) .
In one embodiment (not shown) the labels film 5 and the backing film 5' paths can be arranged in such a way that the feeding roll 7 and the removing roll 11 are replaced by a unique moving roll. An example of such an arrangement is depicted in figure 1 of International Appln. No. PCT/EP2008/063446 filed on 8 October 2008 in the name of the same Applicant, whose description is enclosed herein by reference.
In the embodiment shown in the figures, the dispensing reel 6 is positioned with an horizontal axis of rotation. This is due to the need to minimise the encumbrance of the machine, but nothing stops it to be positioned with a vertical axis arrangement.
As the vacuum drum 10 has a vertical axis of rotation, while, as said above, the dispensing reel 6 has a horizontal axis of rotation, the labels film 5 must be twisted of 90° along its path. To do so, a first series of tensioning rollers 8, close to the dispensing reel 6, are positioned horizontally and are followed, along the path, by a linking roller 8' that is inclined of about 45° or in
any case of an angle sufficient to assist the twisting of the labels film 5. All the other tensioning rollers 8 that are downstream the said linking roller 8' are instead vertical or substantially vertical.
The vacuum drum 10 comprises a plurality of holes on its surface (not shown in the schematic view of the figures) that are in communication with a vacuum source, so that the labels 4 are retained until they are in proximity of the object 3 to be labelled. At that point, the vacuum is removed or is replaced by a blowing source, in order to assist the separation of the corresponding label 4 from the surface of the vacuum drum 10 and its attachment to the object 3 surface.
The vacuum drum 10 may be a conventional vacuum drum of the type used in labelling machines endowed with a gluing roller for labels. For example, a vacuum drum as described in WO 2005/005261 published 20 January 2005 - whose description is enclosed herein by reference - may be used.
The path of the labels film 5 is arranged in such a way that the label 4 arrives in proximity of the vacuum drum 10 with its non-adhesive side facing the drum. In such a way the label 4 can be releasably retained by the vacuum drum 10 and can approach the object 3 with its adhesive side facing outwardly.
The vacuum drum 10 rotates at a higher speed with respect to the feeding speed of the labels film 5 caused by the feeding roller 7. Therefore, the labels 4 - that have a minimum pitch while adhered onto the film 5 - are distanced at the correct pitch to match the pitch between the objects 3 moving around the carrousel 2.
This means that, while the labels 4 are fed to the vacuum drum 10 one after each other, they must slide on the surface of the vacuum drum 10 until the correct pitch is reached. This can be obtained by suitably positioning the holes for the vacuum on the vacuum drum 10 surface. However, to better assist this process and to prevent an early detachment of the label 4 from the film 5 due to the pulling force exerted by the vacuum drum 10, a pressing means 12 for the labels 4 is positioned at the side of the wedge means 9 in such a way that the labels film 5 passes therebetween (see figure 3) . This pressing means 12 ends substantially close to the vacuum drum 10 surface, so that it retains the label 4 until the label 4 tail approaches the edge of the wedge means 9.
The pressing means 12 comprises a plate 13 that is pressed against the wedge means 9 by means of suitable spring means 14, so that the labels film 5 is sandwiched between the plate 13 - and in general the pressing means 12 - and the wedge means 9. The spring means 14 are
mounted on the frame (not shown) of the labelling unit 1 in a conventional way.
The plate 13 is static, while the labels film 5 is moving. As the pressing means 12 are designed to retain the label 4 from being pulled by the vacuum drum 10, they must apply to the labels film 5 a sufficiently high pressure. However, this would cause the label 4 to be torn .
To avoid this inconvenient, the pressing means 12 comprises a movable pressing belt 15 that moves synchronously with respect to the labels film 5 and accompanies it until the label 4 tail approaches the vacuum drum 10 surface. The movable pressing belt 15 is sandwiched between the plate 13 and the labels film 5, so that it acts directly onto the labels 4.
In the embodiment shown in figures 1, 2 and 3, the said pressing belt 15 is constituted by the backing film 5' and is realised by suitably positioning the downstream rollers 8 to design a suitable backing film 5' path. In particular, after the labels 4 are detached by the labels film 5, the resulting backing film 5' is directed to pass below the horizontal tensioning rollers 8 and again towards the vacuum drum 10, to match with the labels film 5 as described above. After having worked as a pressing belt 15, the backing film 5' is pulled by the removing
roll 11 and is then directed to the recovering reel.
In another embodiment, shown in figure 4, a closed movable pressing belt 18 is moved by a driving roll 16 and is directed by respective tensioning rollers 17 to form a closed loop and to pass between the plate 13 and the labels film 5, while it is pressed against the wedge means
9. The driving roll 16 moves at the same rotational speed than the dispensing roll 7, so that the pressing belt 18 and the labels film 5 move synchronously.
The closed pressing belt 18 can be made of any material suitable for this use.
In a still different embodiment, the plate 13 is made of or is coated with a low-friction material, and acts directly onto the labels film 5 surface, without the interposition of a movable pressing belt.
The working operation of the labelling unit 1 has been substantially explained above. It must be emphasized that the difference between the rotational speed of the vacuum drum 10 and the speed of feeding of the labels film 5 is regulated in order to provide the correct distancing of the labels 4 on the vacuum drum
10, which corresponds to the pitch between the objects 3 on the carrousel 2.
Differently from the prior art systems, wherein a stop-and-run movement of the feeding roll is necessary
to delay the feeding of the labels 4 to the carrousel 2 - this system requiring a buffer to be provided -, the inventive system obtains the setting of the correct pitch of the labels without incurring in discontinuous motions and without providing bulky buffer systems.
The absence of discontinuous motions is a substantial advantage, as the inaccuracies due to the inertial delays are avoided.
In general, a method is provided for transferring self-adhesive labels onto objects 3, as depicted in the claims 13-15.
It will be appreciated that only particular embodiments of the present invention have been described herein, to which those skilled in the art will be able to make any and all modifications necessary for its adjustment to specific applications, without however departing from the scope of protection of the present invention as defined in the annexed claims.
