Definitions

  • Labeling machines are a focal point of development represents which single-sheet labels made of paper or plastic film to process.
  • the containers to be labeled are transported via known conveyors such as e.g. Belt conveyor, division screw and feed star, one around its vertical axis rotatable carousel with several rotatable receptacles for the containers fed.
  • the container guides one as it passes through the labeling machine or several rotary movements. After the container has passed through, it becomes usually by an output star and another belt conveyor from the Labeling machine removed.
  • One or more labeling stations are arranged on the circumference of the carousel, which transfer the labels to the container to be labeled.
  • These labeling stations essentially consist of a label magazine, one Gluing station, one gripper cylinder and several, on another carousel arranged glue segments.
  • the glue required for sticking the labels is inside the gluing station provided on a glue roller.
  • the glue segments roll on the glue roller and take over the required amount of glue in this way.
  • the glue segments roll on the ones in the label magazine Labels off, with the back of the labels on the glue segments demonstrate.
  • the adhesive effect becomes when the glue segment is rolled on the labels first label removed from the label magazine, wetted with glue and used for Gripper cylinder transported.
  • the label is moved in further treatment station e.g. through blow air ducts and / or brush ducts completely attached to the container.
  • gluing process is one of the essential Points that limit the performance of a labeling machine.
  • the for the gluing process required gluing stations exist in known Versions essentially from a rotating glue roller, a glue scraper and a glue application device. As already shown above, roll around the application of the glue on the glue roller glue roller and glue segment on each other , whereby the glue is transferred to the glue segment.
  • a wide variety of adhesives have been known so far, which determine their adhesive strength or their Final strength e.g. after evaporation of a solvent, e.g. Water or after a chemical reaction has taken place e.g. a polymerization.
  • a solvent e.g. Water
  • a chemical reaction has taken place e.g. a polymerization.
  • hot glues which are at room temperature solid and only limited or non-sticky on their surface and higher Temperatures, on the other hand, become fluid.
  • adhesives are e.g. in granular form delivered and in a collection container arranged on the labeling machine filled. There, the granulate is heated until it liquefies and is therefore available for the further processing steps.
  • the liquefied hot glue of the, usually heated gluing station becomes a pumping device fed and transferred there to the labels.
  • the glued ones Labels are then applied to the containers to be labeled. There the hot glue cools down and develops its full adhesive effect, so that the label adheres securely to the container.
  • the newly developed adhesives point out the previously known adhesives a fundamental change. They are due to the one-time warming up or can be activated via a certain temperature.
  • these adhesives do not stick and can be e.g. Process similar to a color, e.g. Printing, spraying, etc., thereby arbitrarily shaped adhesive surfaces can be produced in almost any thickness.
  • the object and aim of the present invention is to implement designs of labeling machines to show for the processing of single-sheet labels, where on a Gluing station and a gripper cylinder can be dispensed with.
  • a cut sheet labels are used, which at least one-sided, preferably on the back of the label, and at least in places with the adhesive described above is coated, and that within the labeling machine Means are provided which allow the adhesive layer to heat briefly allow to a temperature above the "switching temperature", whereby the Adhesive is activated.
  • the labeling station essentially comprises the following components: label magazine 1, on a rotatable carousel 2 arranged label gripper 3 and means 4 for heating of the thermally activated glue on the back of the label.
  • the labels are placed in the label magazine 1 inserted so that they face the label gripper with their picture side.
  • the label grippers 3 take on the function of conventional ones Labeling machines existing glue segments. Remove usual Glue segments the labels due to the adhesive effect of the on them Glue from the label magazine 1, so this function in an inventive Device realized in that the label gripper 3 either the labels by suitable, mechanically working grippers or by generation detect and remove a vacuum.
  • the label grippers 3 are arranged according to the arrangement of the known glue segments, that is, theirs
  • the vertical axis is rotatably mounted and arranged on the circumference of a rotary carousel 2.
  • the label is then lifted by the label gripper located on a carousel 2 3 moved on.
  • a label held by the label gripper on the way from the label magazine to the container to be labeled describes a circular arc.
  • means are provided on the circumference of this circular arc and / or at other suitable locations, which allow the back of the label coated, at least in places, with the glue described above to be heated at least briefly above the activation temperature of the glue.
  • the adhesive surfaces are also advisable to cover the adhesive surfaces with at least one laser beam heat.
  • the laser beam can be provided that the laser beam by a suitable The device can be deflected so that even large areas of adhesive are safely heated can be. It can also be provided that the laser beam device as Whole or at least partially pivoted and / or can be moved.
  • the exposure time can of the beam of different lengths, so that with a short exposure time would be essentially to speak of a flash and with a longer exposure time of radiation or lighting.
  • the one by the present invention shown path of technical teaching is not left even when light is used with wavelengths other than those specified above.
  • the label grippers 3 it is also extremely useful to heat the label grippers 3 at least temporarily perform. This can be a supplement to, or a complete replacement for, further Means for heating the adhesive surfaces are made. It should be noted that the Thermal performance of the label gripper 3 according to the amount, time and duration of action it is controlled that when a label is removed from the label magazine 1 the adhesive of the next label is not already activated. To realize this Function, it can also be useful inside and / or outside the label gripper 3 to provide a cooling device for this.
  • the labeling machine can be adapted to ensure safe heating of the glue spots beyond the activation temperature of the glue for each occurring Guaranteed working speed in the performance range of the labeling machine is.
  • the labels become moved by the label gripper 3, and finally to the label to be labeled Hand over container 5. It can be provided that the label gripper 3 for Transfer of the label to the container 5 an additional radial movement in Direction of the container 5, so a so-called control, perform.
  • the mode of operation is as follows:
  • the labels are placed in the label magazine 1 so that their back is on the label gripper 3 has.
  • a label gripper 3 removes a label from the label magazine 1.
  • the label is removed by the gripper cylinder 6 removed from the label gripper 3 and moved on. While the label is held by the gripper cylinder 6 shows the back coated with adhesive the label outwards so that it is accessible for further treatment.
  • the label describes a circular arc through the movements of the gripper cylinder 6. It is also provided for this configuration that on the circumference of the circular arc and / or means 4 are arranged at further suitable locations, at least one brief heating of the adhesive above its activation temperature allow out.
