Definitions

  • the invention relates to a labeling machine for open Containers, especially cups, according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • the invention is based, in which generic labeling machine with simple means the Increase performance significantly and disruptions in Avoid container transport.
  • the relative movement between the mandrel and the pad Possibility created the container even at continuous rotating rotary table gently and safely on the mandrel to put on or lift off the mandrel. This is essential higher performance possible and disruptions in Container transport, e.g. by sloping or tilting, are reliably avoided.
  • the labeling machine 1 is for Label open, conical cups 2 from Plastic, such as those used for yogurt are set up. It has a housing 17 the top of which is a turntable 3, an inlet star 10 and an outlet star 12, all with a vertical axis of rotation, and a labeling device 5 in the form of a dispenser for Self-adhesive labels are arranged.
  • the turntable 3, the Inlet star 10 and the outlet star 12 are not by Drive devices shown within the housing 17 in Direction of arrow continuously driven.
  • the turntable 3 are evenly distributed over the circumference several shafts 8 with a polygonal cross section rotatable stored and parallel to the axis of rotation of the turntable 3.
  • On each shaft 8 is a conical upwards tapering mandrel 4 with a correspondingly polygonal Bore height adjustable added.
  • Within the A first cam control 15 is arranged on the rotary table 3, which, when the rotary table 3 rotates, the shafts 8 or Thorns 4 in the area of the labeling device 5 and possibly not shown label pressing organs the desired rotary or swivel movement issued.
  • a second cam control 16 is provided for mandrels 4, which in one revolution of the rotary table 3 the thorns 4 in Area of the inlet star 10 and outlet star 12 die desired lifting movement issued.
  • Each mandrel 4 is an annular receptacle 6 for the assigned to the open, lower edge of a cup 2, the concentric to the mandrel 4 without connection to it is arranged.
  • the recordings are 6 attached to the upper ends of vertical bars 18, such that they are fixed in height in a common horizontal Transport level are.
  • a raised, rounded centering surface 7 trained according to the outer rim of the cup is circular and includes this with easy play.
  • the high of Centering surfaces 7 is relatively small, so that, in connection with its roundness or bevel, the cup 2 easily in slip the receptacles 6 in or out of them can.
  • a U-shaped carriage 19 On the parallel to each receptacle 6 Rods 18, which are attached to the turntable 3, is a U-shaped carriage 19 is mounted so as to be vertically movable. This engages in an annular groove on the one hand by means of lugs associated mandrel 4 and on the other hand by means of a roller 27 into a fixed stroke curve 20.
  • the latter parts form the second cam control 16 of the lifting rotary gear 9.
  • the first cam controller 15 also has a fixed one Groove curve 21, in which gear with the shaft 8 engage connected roller lever 28.
  • the stroke curve 20 and the groove curve 21 are shaped such that the further Function of the labeling machine 1 described below established.
  • Each mandrel 4 has a central bore with one in the upper end face opening opening 14. This is via another central bore in shaft 8 and one Cross hole with a arranged on the turntable 3 Rotary distributor 22 connected.
  • the rotary distributor 22 of all mandrels 4 are concentric to the axis of rotation of the Turntable 3 arranged central distributor 24 in Connection that you want in the desired places of your Orbit optionally with a vacuum source, one Compressed air source or the atmosphere.
  • the Central distributor 24 is designed such that the below function of the labeling machine 1 results.
  • Allotment devices 23 In normal labeling, they are in the form of a vertical column with opening pointing downwards stacked cup 2 by a conventional one Allotment device 23, which is stationary over the inlet star 10 is arranged, thrown into the pockets.
  • the Allotment device 23 does not have several, for example shown, driven synchronously to the inlet star 10 vertical screw conveyors, which the cups 2 Insert exactly into the inlet star 10 according to the division. Its pockets are opposite the cross section of the cups 2 extended in the direction of rotation, so that sufficient time for the Feed the cup 2 is available.
  • each cup 2 is exactly centered over a Recording 6 pushed, after which it is between the centering surface 7 sinks and with its lower edge on the receptacle 6 rests.
  • the corresponding mandrel 4 takes its in Fig. 2 shown on the right side lower end position one in which he is completely under his admission 6 lowered and its opening 14 connected to the atmosphere is. Instead, it is also possible to use the top face of the mandrel 4 with the upper edge of the centering surface 7 to be aligned.
  • Numeral 4 is connected to the vacuum source in order position the cup 2 securely and it will be under Action of the second cam controller 16 via that in FIG. 2 intermediate position shown in the middle to that on the left Upper end position shown on the side raised. In the final phase this lifting movement is the relevant cup 2 from the Recording 6 slightly lifted and then exclusively through the Mandrel 4 worn, held by the further acting Vacuum at the opening 14.
  • the vacuum at the opening 14 is now switched off and the mandrel is reversed as shown in Fig. 2 from the upper end position via an intermediate position in the lower End position lowered.
  • This will temporarily facilitate compressed air Opening 14 fed.
  • the receptacle 6 with the cup 2 now runs to the outlet star 12, where the cup 2 through the Guide bow 25 out of the receptacle 6 on the Centering surface 7 on the outlet-side sliding surface 13 and thereby into a pocket of the outlet star 12 is introduced.
  • the sliding surface 11 is again on Height of the upper edge of the centering surface 7 is arranged.
  • the sliding surface 13 and the Guide sheet 25 is the labeled cup 2 one Cup 2 removing conveyor belt 26 supplied.
  • the cup 2 is guided out of the receptacle 6 the corresponding mandrel 4 completely below the receptacle 6 and is connected to the atmosphere, so that it Process not affected.
  • the mandrel 4 remains in its lower end position until after placing a cup 2 on his recording 6 in turn begins with his rise.
