Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for labeling of vessels such as bottles, cans and other containers and containers with a container conveyor and on the periphery alternately laboriously positioned labeling with a Etikettenübergabe- and donating device adhering to a carrier tape labels according to the preamble of claim 1 and as known from the US 5,188,696 ,
  • vessels are all for the inclusion of any products such. As drinks, foods, medicines, etc. suitable containers such. As bottles, cans, glasses with and without screw etc. to understand. In the following, for the sake of simplicity, only vessels will be discussed.
  • the invention is based on a continuously operating labeling device, in which the vessels are moved with a superimposed self-rotation on a transport path and attached to a carrier web labels of just this carrier web.
  • vessels and labels touch each other at the transfer point and move at the same speed.
  • the initial attachment of the labels on the vessels is due to their self-adhesive power.
  • the subsequent attachment of the rest of the label is under the action of pressing or painting elements, these elements should help to secure the labels smooth and error-free on the vessels.
  • the invention further relates to a corresponding device consisting of a drivable endless or circular transport path with uniformly spaced and rotating receiving means for the vessels, a drivable endless carrier web with evenly spaced labels and formed as a transfer point contact area between the transport path or the On this transport path moving vessels and the carrier web is made, wherein means are arranged in the region of the transfer location, which exert pressure and / or tensile forces on the labels for error-free attachment of the labels on the vessels.
  • These agents may be e.g. to brush elements, foam pads, plastic cushions or the like act.
  • Such devices are u.a. used in the food and beverage industry for decorating and furnishing containers made of paper, plastic, glass or metal.
  • the US 5,188,696 discloses a labeling station in which the vessels are self-rotating on a transport star. At the periphery of this Transportstems several labeling devices are arranged, wherein the arm for label dispensing and a thereto arranged in the direct vicinity of the pressing element are mounted together mounted on a substantially radially pivotable support plate.
  • each centering bell is associated with a movably arranged on the upper bracket, which is in driving connection with the centering and can be raised and lowered together with this, with each support by means of a straight guide a pressing device is arranged perpendicular to its working surface, and the straight guide is inclined with respect to the horizontal, such that the presser occurs at least with the central region of its working surface perpendicular to the inclined vessel surface.
  • the presser are automatically adjusted to the correct height due to the drive connection with the centering, so that in each case the desired vessel area is acted upon. It can therefore z. B. also be placed in wells of the vessels arranged labels reliably pressed. In addition, since there are no uncontrolled sliding movements due to the special linear guidance of the presser even under high contact pressure, an exact and firm label seat is guaranteed.
  • the disadvantage is that each centering bell has its own presser, which means a considerable cost, maintenance and maintenance costs in today's high-performance machines with a variety of vessel receiving places and is no longer justifiable for economic reasons.
  • German Utility Model 94 11 443 a labeling machine with a carrier web for attaching the labels on objects, especially cans, bottles and the like.
  • the carrier web pulled over a dispensing edge and the label with its adhesive surface to the lateral surface a container rotatably held between a pressure roller and two opposite support rollers and is wound on this, the vessels are continuously fed past the stationary dispensing edge and the at least one pressure roller and the oppositely associated support rollers of the dispensing edge and at least a short distance, each with a Can be carried in the conveying direction of the vessel and then returned to the starting position near the dispensing edge.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide labels quality under high performance conditions at different vessel diameters and at different jacket areas on rotating and preferably on a rotating vessel table or in line moving vessels by a simple and reliable device, which also without interrupting the labeling alternately with several redundant working label transfer devices should be ensured.
  • This object of the invention is achieved by the indicated in the claim 1 and the dependent claims and the following description features.
  • such a labeling machine for example, from the actual machine base 1, which receives the drive and control directions and other required units and equipped with stand plates, not shown turntable 1 '.
  • one or more adapter points 2 are provided with a standard interface 3 in the area of the turntable 1 'or its periphery, to which the same and / or different labeling stations AC can be docked.
  • the adapter points 2 expediently have mechanical and electrical standard interfaces 3, wherein also coupling elements for driving the labeling stations, if they are not automatically driven by servomotors, can be provided.
  • the adapter points on the circumference of the labeling machine in different positions adjustable attachable, whereby further variation options are given in particular for aligning the labeling stations to certain equipment variants.
  • the labeling stations A-C can be arranged, for example, on a transport device which can be approached and docked to the different adapter locations.
  • the turntable 1 'as well as its base plate and also the labeling stations can be equipped with own driving devices, for example servomotors.
  • own driving devices for example servomotors.
  • FIG. 2 is such a known machine with on the rotation circumference of the turntable 1 'arranged self-adhesive Etikettierstationen 4, 5, 6 and 7, wherein the stations 4, 5 and 6, 7 work together in a redundant or alternating sequence.
  • stations 4, 5 may be optionally provided for a neck or back label and 6, 7 for a breast or body label.
  • the stations are designed for the processing of self-adhesive labels 8, which are brought to the label transfer and dispensing device 9 on a carrier tape, not shown, and released by means of a dispenser edge for transfer to the vessel casing 10.
  • a dispensing device 9 instead of such a dispensing device 9, other transfer devices such as vacuum drums or purely mechanical transfer drums can be used.
  • the actual pressing device 11 Immediately adjacent to the area of the label transfer and dispensing device 9 is the actual pressing device 11, whose task is to press on a label 8 which has just been attached to the container jacket 10 completely in a smooth condition.
  • Such pressing device 11 is according to the embodiment in FIG. 3 from, for example, two spaced apart in a receptacle 12 held pressing elements 13 which are mounted interchangeable by means of a quick-change device 14 and allow in this way a quick change to other types of vessels.
  • the pressing elements 13 have a holder 15 with oblong holes 16 for optimum adjustment of the pressing plane 17 with respect to the types of vessels to be processed. In addition, a fine adjustment may be provided.
  • This drive element 20 may be, for example, an electric servomotor, pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders or even linear drives.
  • each pressing element 13 its own assigned in terms of height accordingly pressing device 11.
  • the pressing elements 13 are adapted in their contour of the respective corresponding vessel surface.
  • such pressing elements 13 can also be formed from an arbitrarily changeable plane which can be directly adapted to the vessel surface to be processed.
  • the plane of the pressing elements 13 can be divided into a plurality of individual sub-levels, which are adjustable in their position to the resulting vessel surface by means of automatically controllable adjusting elements of such pressing and adjustable.
  • two label dispensers 4,5 and 6,7 are arranged on the labeling machine rotary table 1 'per label.
  • the labeling stations 4-7 can be as under FIG. 1 as docking stations AC or in conventional construction pivoting or displaced and adjustable directly connected to the machine base 1 and driven.
