Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine for furnishing articles according to the preamble of claim 1, and as from WO 03/024861 A1 known.
  • FIG. 1 This document shows a labeling machine with a table top on which a continuously driven carousel for passing articles to be equipped is mounted on labeling units. This tabletop also carries the mentioned labeling. A change of the labeling is time-consuming and cumbersome in this construction. Furthermore, such labeling machines build relatively large space because of the large table top.
  • Fig. 4 of the same document discloses an embodiment in which the labeling units are designed as freestanding, replaceable modules with their own subframe and an associated drive.
  • a fixing of the labeling is necessary.
  • the labeling units are bolted to the hall floor, for example.
  • this solution already provides improved handling of the labeling in the event of a change of aggregate. Nevertheless, this design still requires some effort to align and fix the labeling, which beats negative in particular with a frequent change of aggregate with respect to the changeover times.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide an improved solution for easier and faster handling of labeling in Umstell.
  • the unit intake is aligned once when setting up the machine exactly relative to the carousel or the transport plane of the articles to be equipped. A subsequent firm anchoring of the unit intake is on the hall floor.
  • This power take-up may be tailored to the conditions prevailing at the site.
  • An adjustable construction allows the most infinite alignment of the unit mount relative to the carousel with respect to the required height and / or the radial distance and / or the inclination to the transport plane.
  • each first elements that engage the insertion of a labeling in the aggregate receptacle in associated second elements on the aggregate receptacle, wherein upon insertion or insertion of the labeling the interaction of the first and second elements centering and determining the position of the labeling.
  • Said first and second elements may be in the form of preferably adjustable stop bodies, which limit the insertion or insertion movement of the labeling in the desired end position.
  • a complementary embodiment of the first and second elements associated with the labeling unit and the unit mount is expedient, in particular by a form-fitting design, such that an automatic alignment of a labeling unit relative to the unit mount takes place when the elements are assembled until reaching the end position.
  • Particularly suitable for this purpose are centering cones which engage in a form-fitting manner in correspondingly adapted centering bores.
  • the height adjustment device preferably has a motor actuation, for example an electric motor.
  • Fig. 1 is a part of a labeling machine in the basic structure without a labeling unit shown in perspective.
  • the article to be labeled is also a continuously transporting carousel (see Fig. 6 ) not illustrated.
  • the machine 1 essentially consists of a frame 2 with an approximately centrally arranged pivot bearing 9 for the carousel. At a radial distance from the pivot bearing an at least teilumfnature ring 4 is fixedly attached to the frame 2 concentric to this.
  • On the ring 4 is a stationary aggregate receptacle 5 for a quick-change labeling unit 8 with connecting elements 10 (FIG. Fig. 2 ).
  • the aggregate receptacle 5 is formed as a barren, to the radially outer side open tubular construction, the four at the corners of an imaginary rectangle vertically arranged height-adjustable support legs 53 (fastened to the ground) with two on the upper ends in parallel in a horizontally aligned plane with intermediate spacing support rods 54 having a circular cross-section. The spacing between them is greater than the outer housing width of a labeling unit 8 in this area.
  • first elements 51 are mounted laterally projecting from the housing of the labeling unit 8 so that they meet when inserting or lowering a Etikettieraggregats from above on the support rods 54 and bear against the second elements 52 laterally. Due to the rounded to the pipe cross-section on the side facing the support rods 54 side of the first elements 51 results in a positive connection, the operating position of the labeling 8 both longitudinally and transversely fixed immovably to the support rods 54. The aggregate holder 5 transfers the entire weight of the labeling directly to the ground.
  • the second elements are provided with an insertion bevel 521 at least at their upwardly pointing area.
  • an integrated or external lifting device (pallet truck, hoist, etc.) is required.
  • the aggregate receptacle 5 is set up when setting up the machine 1 once to the exact working position (height, radial distance, inclination to the transport plane) of a labeling. Thereafter, any labeling can be used, since the first elements 51 are all mounted in an exact same position on each unit housing.
  • This construction is in principle a lean version of the first embodiment and has only two support legs 63, which are also on the ring 4 - preferably form-fitting - attached. Both support legs 63 are designed as hollow tubes with a circular cross-section. At the lower end in each case a threaded bush 66 is pressed. This is penetrated by a screw spindle 65 (see sectional view in FIG Fig. 5 ). It is used for height adjustment of the ground, z. B. with screws immovably mounted feet 67. At the upper open end of the hollow tubes in each case a conically shaped seat 62 is formed for the positive reception of a Zentrierkegels 61 which is attached to the labeling unit or a plate-shaped arm 64 arranged thereon.
  • Both hollow tubes are connected near the ground via a horizontal cross member 68.
  • At least one horizontally extending, preferably continuously adjustable stop 69 (adjusting screw or the like) is fastened to the transverse strut for determining the inclination of a labeling unit against which the unit housing rests.
  • the at least one stop 69 may, conversely, also be attached to the unit housing and be supported on the transverse strut 68.
  • the two mentioned centering cones 61 are screwed to the underside of two laterally projecting from the labeling aggregate boom plates 64 and indeed at the same height with the hollow tubes 63 congruent distances.
  • a third embodiment of an aggregate receptacle 7 is the subject of Fig. 6 and 7 , Compared to the second embodiment described above, the main difference in an integrated lifting device 80, which allows lifting a Etikettieraggregats in different operating positions for setting different Etikettenklebe Againnchn. This can be dispensed without replacement on the previously provided in the labeling unit height adjustment.
  • This third embodiment 7 has two vertically parallel aligned, attached to the ring 4 and bottom ball guides 73, the movable carriage 74 are rigidly connected via a formed of a thick-walled profiled sheet metal part cross member 75.
  • a support leg 76 is formed in each case, which has a centering cone 72 on its upper side.
  • an electromotive lifting drive is provided, which consists in detail of a frame-fixed geared motor 79 with a vertically oriented threaded spindle 78, which passes through a threaded hole in a rigidly attached to the crosspiece 75 block 77.
  • the upper operating position can be fixed by presettable stops or limit switches, which are not shown in the travel path. But it is in connection with a Program memory the ability to retrieve different operating positions at the push of a button via a position query and set automatically by motor.
  • Fig. 6 the carousel 3 of the labeling machine 1 can be seen in a schematic representation. It can be equipped with a plurality of equally spaced on a common pitch circle turntables for receiving the articles to be labeled such as bottles or the like ..
  • Fig. 8 shows a fourth embodiment of an aggregate receptacle designated 40, which is not part of the invention. It is characterized by a flat underfloor construction, ie an unillustrated labeling unit can be parked with its underside on the plate-like unit mount and held in a centered relative to the carousel 3 alignment.
  • a plurality of centering elements 43 are arranged offset on a horizontal plate 41, each having a centering cone 45 and a support surface 44.
  • the plate 41 stands on four feet 42.
  • the feet 42 and / or the centering elements 43 are individually adjustable in height by threaded fasteners to hold the labeling in the desired orientation. This setting is usually only done once.
  • At the bottom of a labeling unit or its support frame are located to the centering elements 43 aligned centering holes. Via a connecting element 10 ', the plate 41 is connected to the frame 4 attached to the frame 4.
  • the plate 41 may conveniently be hingedly coupled about a horizontal axis via a pivot joint 46 to the connecting element 10 ', so that the aggregate receptacle 40 when not in use by means of a handle 49 (FIGS. Fig. 9 ) from an operating position (upper illustration of Fig. 8 ) at ninety degrees upwards into an inoperative position (lower illustration of the Fig. 8 ) is foldable. This measure ensures good accessibility of the machine.
  • insertion bevels in the form of raised, radially from the outside on a radially inner end position defining stop 47 leading strips 48 attached. Their mutual spacing decreases in the insertion direction, whereby a lateral advance direction of a mobile on wheels labeling unit in conjunction with attached to its underside, between the strips 48 retractable guide rollers (not shown) is possible.
  • a guide roller leading in the direction of insertion hits the stop 47, the insertion movement of the labeling unit is stopped and its underside centering holes are aligned with the underlying centering elements 43 of the unit mount 40.
  • the labeling unit or its support frame can have an integrated lifting device (eg hydraulically or electrically actuated) for raising and lowering.
  • the aggregate receptacle 40 may be designed to be vertically movable in order to be able to bring different labeling units into different working positions (for different adhesive heights of the labels on containers).
  • a motorized lifting device similar to the embodiment in the Fig. 6 and 7 come to use that can lift or lower the plate 41.
