Definitions
- the present invention relates to a labelling machine for applying self-adhesive labels on products in general.
- the above mentioned labelling systems must use labels supported by suitably contoured siliconized paper material strips, having a preset length, thereby the user is compelled to choose only a limited number of label suppliers.
- the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a labelling machine for applying self-adhesive labels on products and articles in general, allowing to apply said labels, for example on fruit, by allowing the fruit case to move with a particularly high speed, even of thirty fruit cases per minute.
- a main object of the present invention is to provide such a labelling machine which, owing to its simple construction and flexible operation, can be used for variable size products and articles.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such a labelling machine which can use commercially available labels, such as labels arranged on conventional contour siliconized paper strips, having a varied width, thereby allowing the labelling machine to operate at a very reduced operation cost, while affording the user the possibility of choosing within a broad range of label supplier.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a labelling machine which, in addition to being very simple construction-wise, is moreover very competitive from a mere economic standpoint.
- a labelling machine for applying self-adhesive labels on products and articles in general
- said labelling machine comprising a fully independent and interexchangeable supporting element, for supporting a siliconized paper coil including a plurality of self-adhesive labels, delivered at a label taking assembly, characterized in that said label taking assembly comprises a wheel including a plurality of sucker elements which are selectively communicated with a vacuum source or a pressurized air source to remove said labels from said siliconized paper material and transfer said label to movable products and articles to be labelled.
- the labelling machine for applying self-adhesive labels on products and articles in general which has been generally indicated (fig. 1) by the reference number 1, comprises a coil support 2 , of an independent and interexchangeable type, which is provided with a pivot pin thereon is mounted a siliconized paper coil 3, the paper material of which can have different thicknesses and operating as a support element for supporting a plurality of self-adhesive labels which can have any desired size and shape.
- the siliconized paper strip 3a after having passed through the tension or stretching assembly 4 and transmission roller 5, arrives at a detachment or removal assembly 6, comprising a transmission pin 6a and a further pin 6b having a very small diameter (1 - 2 mm), and being supported by bearings, for removing the labels from the paper strips, the siliconized paper strip, after entrainment about the roller 7, being engaged by an entrainment or driving assembly 8, comprising a rubber roller 8a, a knurled counter-roller 8b, pressed on the rubber roller 8a by an adjustable torsion spring 8c.
- a detachment or removal assembly 6 comprising a transmission pin 6a and a further pin 6b having a very small diameter (1 - 2 mm), and being supported by bearings, for removing the labels from the paper strips
- the siliconized paper strip after entrainment about the roller 7, being engaged by an entrainment or driving assembly 8, comprising a rubber roller 8a, a knurled counter-roller 8b,
- the entrainment assembly in particular, is driven by a step motor 8, through a toothed belt 9a.
- step motor 9 is controlled by an electronic control system which, through position sensors, will determine the command to be sent to the motor, to cause the label, as it is removed at the roller 6b, is perfectly arranged to be engaged by the sucker element 10c passing under the label removing or detaching assembly 6 and performing its suction operation.
- said label is taken by the sucker element 10c of the rotary label taking and transferring assembly 10, comprising, as shown in figures 1 to 3, a sucker wheel 10a, to which are applied, through attachment elements 10b, a plurality of sucker elements 10c.
- the sucker wheel turns about the pin 10f, it will cause the sucker elements to selectively communicate, through a small friction sealing disc 10d, with the suction region (C-shape channel 30a), or with the negative pressure region (hole-slot 31).
- This distributing valve is assured by a plurality of cup spring 10e, pre-pressed by a ring element 10g, in turn restrained by a nut fixed on the pin 10f.
- the sucker elements upon arriving at the positions thereof facing the products or articles passing under the assembly 10, and being arranged at the pressure region, will extend so as to bring the label on the surface (which is frequently a non-flat surface) of the product or article, thereby to perfectly arrange on the product the label being transported, owing to their resilient properties and the pressure present in their inside.
- sucker element 10c and its attachment 10b constitute a peculiar aspect of the present invention, and have a plurality of novel feature.
- the sucker element (fig.4 - fig.5 - fig.6) 21 comprises a bellows element 50, having any desired configuration (for example in this case a circular plan, but it can also have any other desired shape to better fit to the label configuration), which, differently from conventional sucker elements, has the top portion thereof substantially fully closed.
- a closure seal including a plurality of holes for selectively communicating with the suction sectors 60 and 61 defined on said casing or on sidewall 11, and communicating with a vacuum source, as generally indicated by the reference number 30.
- a pressurized air inlet hole 31 which is in turn coupled to a pressurized air inlet duct 32.
- a further single calibrated hole 51 (having a diameter of 1 - 2.5 mm) is moreover provided for generating, under the sucked air load losses, a pressure difference between the outer and inner environment, allowing to contract the bellows element, while providing an air flow on the label sucking sucker surfaces.
- the sucker elements 21, as is better clear in figures 4 to 6, comprise a bellows cylindric body, generally indicated by the reference number 50, ending, at an axial end portion thereof, with a passage hole 51 coupled to a cylindric central rim 52, thereabout are provided further cylindric concentric rims 53, delimitating the active region of the sucker element.
- a plurality of small cylinders 54 are provided for holding the bearing in a flat condition.
- the sucker wheel is so turned that each sucker element is arranged at the detachment assembly 10, while being connected to the suction source, to take the self-adhesive label and to bring the latter, by turning, at the bottom region, where the sucker element will be arranged in a communication relationship with the pressurized air inlet assembly.
- the sucker element will cause the sucker element to expand, to apply the label on a movable product or article passing under the sucker wheel.
- the disclosed suction wheel is very simple construction wise, and is so arranged as to selectively communicate with the suction side for taking and transferring the labels, with a small pressurized air outlet region, to apply the label on a movable product or article.
- Said sucker wheel in particular, is arranged at the front portion of the labelling machine, which can apply with a very high operating speed the labels on the products or articles passing under said sucker wheel.
- the label being applied will be born on a flat bearing assembly, comprising the four small cylinders, in turn including a pulley 40a, a toothed belt 40b, and a toothed ring gear 40c made rigid with the wheel 10a and a chain tension assembly 40d.
- the pulley 40a is driven through a square cross-section hollow, by a driving shaft 41 (fig. 1) also having a square cross-section, and provided with respect to said hollow or cavity with a small clearance, thereby allowing the supporting casing to slide on the shaft.
- a driving shaft 41 fig. 1 also having a square cross-section, and provided with respect to said hollow or cavity with a small clearance, thereby allowing the supporting casing to slide on the shaft.
- Said driving assembly 40 will allow to easily change the arrangement of the machine, and to transmit motion to an assembly of labelling machines (fig. 7) by using a single step motor 42 coupled through a transmission belt 43 to the square cross-section shaft 41.
- said shaft further supports a cam 44 for detecting the position of each sucker element of each labelling machine, by using only two sensors for the overall machine battery.
- the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, according to requirements and the status of the art.
