Definitions

the present invention relates to a picking device for a labeling machine for picking up and positioning a modular unit in a predetermined operating position relative to the labeling machine, wherein the receiving device is attachable to a periphery of the labeling machine, and wherein the receiving device comprises at least one engaging element, the at least one complementary Counter-engaging element on the module unit can be brought into engagement, and a lifting device with which the module unit in mutual engagement of the at least one engagement element and the at least one counter-engagement element from a substrate can be raised to a predetermined operating position.
the invention relates to a module unit for receiving in a receiving device of the type described above, wherein the module unit is displaceably displaceable on the substrate and at least one counter-engagement element, which can be brought into engagement with at least one complementary engagement element on the receiving device, said module aggregate on the Lifting device of the receiving device upon mutual engagement of the at least one engagement element and the at least one counter-engagement element of a substrate in a predetermined operating position can be raised.
containers such as bottles or the like
labels will be provided with different types and designs of labels.
corresponding labeling modules are attached to a labeling machine.
the individual modules In order to allow the most flexible adaptation of the labeling machine to different requirements and thus the widest possible use of the machine, the individual modules must be interchangeable.
Interchangeability of the modules is also necessary for reasons of maintenance of the labeling machine or the modules. For example, if a module has a defect, the module must be replaced as soon as possible by a functional module to interrupt production as quickly as possible. Furthermore, one problem with replaceable labeling modules is always to position the modules exactly in relation to the labeling machine. Precise positioning of the modules is essential to ensure trouble-free production operation and to apply the labels to the products in a predetermined position.
EP 1 706 323 B9 discloses a machine for providing articles with labels having an interchangeable labeling unit located at the periphery of the machine.
the unit can be used in a ground-based power take-off, which is connected to components of a carousel of the machine.
the labeling is equipped with first elements that engage immediately upon insertion (coupling) of the labeling in associated second elements on the unit intake. These elements center the labeling unit relative to the aggregate receptacle and fix it in its position.
a disadvantage of this device is that the labeling unit must already be aligned relatively precisely when it is inserted into the unit receptacle so that the first elements can engage in the second elements. This means that when the module is approached to the unit mount, it must already be ensured that the first and second elements are aligned with one another.
the second elements are designed in the form of Zentrierkegeln on a lifting device of the aggregate, which are positively inserted into correspondingly shaped conical seating surfaces. The smaller the conical seat surfaces are formed, the more accurate a positioning must be made before an intervention.
a design of larger conical seat surfaces brings with it a greater clearance between the first and second elements, which leads to an inaccurate centering and fixing the position of the module assembly.
WO 2013/131587 A1 a labeling machine with a plurality of receiving devices, which are each provided for receiving a module aggregate.
the module assembly is aligned relative to the receiving device. Subsequently, components of the receiving device and the module assembly engage each other to lift the module unit sections.
the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a receiving device and a corresponding module assembly, which are relatively easy to handle in practice and at the same time allow safe, error-free and accurate positioning of the module unit.
a module unit can initially be roughly moved by a user into a receiving area of a receiving device according to the invention, wherein no positioning of the module unit relative to the labeling machine takes place.
the moving in of the module assembly in the sufficiently large trained receiving area can be achieved, for example, by means attached to the module roles.
the subsequent insertion of the module assembly in the receiving device i.
the user does not have to take any special care, since here too no precise positioning of the module unit takes place. This allows a relatively simple insertion process, which can be performed relatively quickly by untrained personnel.
the manual effort can be kept relatively low with the present invention, resulting in a considerable time savings in introducing the module assembly into the receiving device.
the automatic positioning during lifting can guarantee precise alignment.
the receiving device at least one positioning element, after reaching a complete mutual engagement of the at least one engagement element of the at least one counter-engagement element during the subsequent lifting of the module assembly on the lifting device, the module assembly in the predetermined operating position relative to the labeling in the horizontal direction aligns.
the module assembly is only then aligned horizontally with respect to the labeling machine when the insertion process of the module assembly is completed in the receiving device.
the module assembly is further horizontally movable. Only after the complete procedure, i. after the module assembly has been lifted from the ground, the at least one positioning member of the receiving device contacts at least one component of the module assembly to align the module.
the timing for starting the alignment may be predetermined by the arrangement of the at least one positioning element.
the engagement element can have a continuous horizontally arranged holding shaft or at least two separate horizontally arranged holding shaft sections.
the retaining shaft sections may preferably have a shaft flange at at least one end.
a prism bar with any desired cross-section can be provided as an engagement element.
the continuous holding shaft or the at least two separate holding shaft sections can be displaceably mounted along the shaft axis in the receiving device, preferably via bearing bushes.
slidable bearing bushes can be provided on the continuous support shaft or on the at least two separate holding shaft sections.
the bushings may preferably be in the form of plain bearing bushes, roller bearing bushes, ball bearing bushings or the like. The bushings are used for easier horizontal displacement of a modular unit, which is in engagement with the receiving device and is already raised from the ground. Through the shaft flanges, the bushings can be secured on the shaft.
the continuous support shaft, at least one of the support shaft sections or at least one of the bearing bushes can be spring-biased in an initial position.
the advantage of spring biased aforementioned components is that the at least one engagement element is automatically aligned with respect to it prior to engagement with the at least one counter engaging element, thereby further simplifying insertion of the module assembly into the receiving device.
the engagement element may be designed in the form of a gripper with a gripping recess.
the gripping recess can be designed to be complementary to the counter-engagement element of the module assembly.
the gripping recess may additionally have chamfers to facilitate insertion.
the gripper or the gripping recess can be designed such that a counter-engagement element engaging therein can not slip out of the gripper when the module unit is lifted.
the at least one positioning element may be designed in the form of a positioning roller which is rotatably mounted on the receiving device.
the positioning roller can be designed to cooperate with a provided on the module unit positioning surface and roll it off to align the module unit during lifting.
the at least one positioning element may preferably be spaced apart from the labeling machine in the direction of the module assembly such that it interacts as closely as possible with the center of gravity of the module assembly with the positioning surface provided thereon. Such a selected point of the positioning roller on the module unit simplifies the horizontal displacement and avoids tilting moments when aligning the module unit.
the at least one positioning element may alternatively also be designed in the form of a sliding body which is attached to the receiving device.
the slider can be designed to cooperate for aligning the module assembly during lifting with a provided on the module assembly positioning surface and slide along it.
At least two opposing positioning preferably two oppositely positioned positionally offset positioning pairs, may be provided. These can attack on both sides of the module aggregate to align it during lifting in the horizontal direction.
a positioning surface can be spaced apart from the labeling machine in the direction of the module assembly in such a way that it lies in a region near the center of the modular module.
the at least one positioning surface may have at least one surface portion which is inclined to the horizontal and the vertical plane. As long as this surface portion is in contact with a corresponding position element of the module assembly when lifting the module assembly, the module assembly can be moved horizontally for the purpose of alignment.
At least one support element can be provided at a distance from the at least one engagement element below it, which is designed to support tilting forces or tilting moments with at least one complementary counter-support element on the module unit.
the at least one support element having a rotatably mounted support roller or a sliding body, which are each formed for engagement with a corresponding Jacobabstützamide on the module unit.
the at least one support element can simultaneously support the horizontal displaceability of the module.
the at least one support element can be displaceably mounted on a guide rail of the receiving device via a carriage, wherein the guide rail can be firmly connected to the receiving device.
the carriage can be mounted on the guide rail via a linear guide. Is supported by a complementary Jacobab millimeter-to-meter-to-meter-to-meter-to-meter-to-meter-to-meter-to-meter-to-meter-to-meter-to-meter-the module assembly from the at least one connected to the carriage support, the linear guides can be optimally loaded, whereby a smooth running can be achieved.
a horizontal moving and aligning the module aggregate can be positively supported.
the receiving device can be attached via a flange detachably on the periphery, for example, a stationary table top or other frame component, the labeling machine.
the flange connection can act as an adapter, whereby the receiving device is flexibly attached to a periphery of various labeling machines.
the flange connection may be formed as a separate component of the receiving device or integrally with the receiving device. Furthermore, the flange connection can have at least one bore and / or threaded bore in order to be connected by means of screws, bolts or pins to the periphery of the labeling machine and / or the receiving device. In this case, associated threaded bores may be formed on the periphery of the labeling machine and / or a connecting portion of the receiving device.
the flange connection and the receiving device can be brought into engagement with each other via at least one projection and at least one complementary recess.
One of the labeling machine in operation facing side surface of the flange connection may comprise a spring which is in a groove, for example in the outer peripheral surface of the table top, einbringbar. Further, the spring and the side surface comprising the spring may have a curved contour, which is adapted to the respective contour of the component of the periphery of the labeling machine to which the flange connection is to be attached.
the invention further relates to a module assembly comprising at least one positioning element, which after reaching a complete mutual engagement of the at least one engagement member and the at least one counter-engagement member during the subsequent lifting of the module assembly via the lifting device, the module assembly in the predetermined operating position relative to the labeling machine in horizontal Aligning direction.
the module unit is not aligned until the at least one engagement element and the at least one counter-engagement element completely engage, ie when the module unit is completely raised from the ground. For this reason, no prior relatively precise alignment of the module assembly relative to the receiving device must be made to insert the module assembly. It should also be noted that even during the insertion of the module assembly into the receiving device, that is, when the engagement elements engage in the counter-engagement elements, no alignment is carried out in the horizontal direction.
the counter-engagement element may have a continuous horizontally arranged holding shaft or at least two separate horizontally arranged holding shaft sections. The at least two retaining shaft sections can furthermore have a flange at at least one end. Alternatively, the counter-engagement element can also have a prismatic profile.
the continuous holding shaft or the at least two separate shaft sections can be displaceably mounted along the shaft longitudinal axis in the module unit, preferably via bearing bushes.
slidable bearing bushes can be provided on the continuous support shaft or on the at least two separate holding shaft sections along the shaft longitudinal axis.
the bushings in each of the above embodiments may be in the form of plain bearing bushings, rolling bearing bushes, ball bearing bushes or the like. The shaft flanges can secure the bearing bushes on the shaft or the shaft sections.
a horizontally displaceable mounting of the continuous support shaft or of the at least two separate holding shaft sections or the provision of displaceable bearing bushes on the continuous support shaft or on the at least two separate support shaft sections serves for the horizontal displaceability of the module assembly.
the continuous support shaft or at least one of the support shaft sections or at least one of the bearing bushes can be spring-biased to an initial position.
the relative position of the respective component relative to the engagement element of the receiving device can already be roughly determined before intervention, without requiring manual operation to be carried out for this purpose.
the module assembly can be roughly inserted by a user into the receiving area of the receiving device without performing an accurate manual alignment for insertion of the module assembly in the receiving device.
the counter-engagement element may be formed on the module unit in the form of a gripper with a gripping recess.
the gripping recess may preferably be designed to be complementary to the shape of the engagement element of the receptacle. Further, the gripping recess may be formed such that slipping out of a complementary Component is prevented from the gripping recess after lifting the module unit.
the at least one positioning element can be designed in the form of a positioning roller, which is rotatably mounted on the module unit.
the positioning roller can be designed to cooperate for aligning the module assembly during lifting with a provided on the receiving device positioning and unrolling at this.
the at least one positioning element can preferably be arranged in a region near the center of gravity of the module assembly.
the at least one positioning element may be designed in the form of a sliding body which is attached to the module unit.
the sliding body may be designed to cooperate for aligning the module assembly during lifting with a positioning surface provided on the receiving device and to slide along this.
a further embodiment of the invention provides that at least one positioning surface can be provided on the module unit, which is designed to cooperate with at least one positioning element provided on the receiving device for aligning the module assembly during lifting.
the positioning surface may preferably have at least one plane inclined to the horizontal and vertical plane surface portion. This surface portion may be formed such that the module unit is moved horizontally when lifting, as long as the inclined surface portion cooperates with the at least one positioning of the receiving device.
At least one Jacobib Sealement on the module unit is provided at a distance from the at least one counter-engagement element below the counter-engagement element, which is designed to support tilting forces or tilting moments with the at least one support element.
the at least one counter-supporting element can preferably have a rotatably mounted supporting roller or a sliding body, which are designed to engage a corresponding supporting surface on the receiving device.
the at least one counter-support element can therefore tilt the module assembly counteract while allowing a horizontal displacement of the module unit for aligning.
the module unit in a region facing the labeling machine can have a lower height than in a region facing away from the labeling machine.
the module unit in a state in which the module unit is not raised completely from the ground, the module unit can tilt along a longitudinal axis of the module unit relative to the ground.
the inclination can be substantially compensated by the lifting.
the longitudinal axis of the module assembly can be aligned by lifting the module assembly substantially parallel to the ground.
first wheels or similar Unter groundab the module unit can be raised, which are arranged in the labeling of the machine-facing portion of the module unit, while wheels of the module unit, which are arranged in a remote from the labeling machine, continue to be in contact with the ground.
the inclination during lifting can be reduced.

each positioning surface 94 comprises a vertical surface portion 100 and a horizontal and vertical plane inclined surface portion 102.
the inclination of the inclined surface portion 102 is defined by the length of the upper surface 96 and the length of the lower surface 98, the upper surface 96 a shorter As a result, the inclined surface section 102, which is located above the vertical surface section 100, is opposite to this in the direction of the main body 82 of the module assembly 80 angled.
the inclined surface portion 102 is thus provided between the upper surface 96 and the vertical surface portion 100, while the vertical surface portion 100 is disposed between the lower surface 98 and the inclined surface portion 102.
the module unit 80 in FIG. 2 Counter-engagement elements 104, which are each connected to a side surface 90 of the main body 82.
the counter-engagement elements 104 in the form of grippers 104 are formed with gripping recesses 106.
the gripping recesses 106 are also adjoined in each case by an oblique insertion surface 107.
the grippers 104 and the gripping recesses 106 are open at the bottom.
the counter-engagement elements 104 extend substantially parallel to each other and parallel to the side surfaces 90 of the module assembly 80 and project beyond it in the direction of the labeling machine (not shown).
the grippers 104 are each connected via a surface piece 108 with one of the side surfaces 90 and spaced therefrom to the outside.
the surface portion 108 extends substantially parallel to a front side 110 of the module assembly 80.
the distance of the counter-engagement element 104 from the adjacent side surface 90 of the module assembly 80 is determined by the width of the surface portion 108.
the sheet 108 is followed by another sheet (not shown, see, for example, FIG FIGS. 6a to 6c ), which is angled relative to the surface piece 108 and abuts in a region between the upper surface 96 and the lower surface 98 of the component 92 substantially on the respective side surface 90 of the module assembly 80.
the grippers 104 each comprising a surface with the gripping recess 106, the surface piece 108 and the surface piece, not shown, are each formed in one piece and have substantially an S-shape viewed from above.

the lifting device 20 is raised in the state shown so far from the ground that the engagement member 38 fully engages the counter-engagement elements 104, but not far enough that the positioning elements 58 of the receiving device 10 with the positioning elements 92 and the positioning surfaces 94 (in FIG. 3 not visible) of the module assembly 80 are in contact. That is, the module aggregate 80 in the in FIG. 3 shown position on the bushings 40 is still horizontally displaceable and thus in this state is not yet aligned relative to the labeling machine (not shown).
the recess 114 in the front 110 of the module assembly 80 is formed such that when the module assembly 80 is engaged with the receiving device 10, the engagement member 38 in the form of the continuous support shaft 38 in the area the recess 114 is located.
the recess 114 has a depth and width which are sufficiently large that the engagement element 38 or the continuous support shaft 38 does not come into contact with the base body 82 of the module assembly 80. This applies both to the time when the module assembly 80 is moved up to the receiving device 10 without the engagement member 38 and the counter-engagement member 104 are engaged, as well as for the time when the engagement member 38 and the counter-engagement member 104 partially or fully engaged stand.
FIG. 3 shows how the counter-supporting element 116 is supported via the supporting surface 118 relative to the roller 52 of the supporting element 48 of the receiving device 10.
the arrangement of the roller 52 and the support surface 118 of the Gegenab resultslements 116 at the same time prevents tilting of the module assembly 80 about a longitudinal axis of the engagement member and a light, low-friction horizontal displacement of the module unit 80 allows.
FIG. 3 the area marked E is in FIG. 4 shown enlarged.
This area shows a section of the engagement element 38 and one of the counter-engagement elements 104 and grippers 104, which engage with each other.
the engagement element 38 of the receiving device 10 engages over the bearing bush 40 in the gripping recess 106 of the counter-engagement element 104 of the module assembly 80 a.
the engagement element 38 and the counter-engagement element 104 are in FIG. 4 state shown in complete engagement with each other.
the recess 106 of the counter-engagement element 104 is congruent with the bearing bush 40, and therefore, in the state of complete engagement, no gap or gap is provided between the gripping recess 106 and the bearing bush 40.
FIG. 4 the spring assembly 44 between the bearing bush 40 and the shaft flange 42 and between the bearing bush 40 and the vertical frame component 12 is shown clearly.
the spring arrangement 44 determines the position of the bearing bush 40 relative to the counter-engagement element 104 of the module assembly, before the engagement element 38 engages in the counter-engagement element 104. At the same time, however, the spring assembly 44 does not interfere with the horizontal movement of the bushing 40 or module assembly 80 when the engagement member 38 engages the mating engagement member 104.
FIG. 5 An enlarged partial sectional view of the in FIG. 3 marked area E is in FIG. 5 shown.
a linear ball bearing 122 is shown, which is arranged between the continuous support shaft 38 and the bearing bush 40.
the linear ball bearing 122 is attached via two retaining rings 124 in the bearing bush.
the retaining rings 124 are each arranged at one end of the linear ball bearing 122.
the positioning member 92 having the upper surface 96, the lower surface 98, and the vertical surface portion 100 is shown.
the inclined surface portion 102 is hidden in this view.
FIG. 5 It can also be seen that the engagement element 38 in the in FIG. 3 shown state in complete engagement with the counter-engagement element 104, but without the module unit is so far raised from the ground that the positioning member 58 of the receiving device 10 is in contact with the positioning surface 94 and the inclined surface portion 102 or the vertical surface portion 100.
the module unit 80 described above can be received by the receiving device 10.
the module assembly 80 is roughly moved into the receiving area 17 of the receiving device 10. An exact positioning is not required.
the lifting device 20 is moved vertically upwards, whereby the engagement element 38 engages with the counter-engagement element 104.
the module assembly 80 is first pushed away from the labeling machine (not shown) or the receiving device 10.
an alternative embodiment of the insertion surfaces 107 is possible, by which the module unit 80 is first used in the direction of the labeling machine to the receiving device 10. After pushing away or pulling the module unit 80 is lifted by means of the lifting device 20 of the receiving device 10 from the ground.
the module assembly 80 during the engagement of the engagement element 38 in the counter-engagement element 104 and also immediately after a complete intervention further horizontally displaceable. This applies until the positioning elements 58 of the receiving device 10 come into contact with the complementary positioning elements 92 or positioning surfaces 94 of the module assembly 80. As a result of the interaction of one of the positioning elements 58 with the corresponding inclined surface section 102, the module assembly 80 is optionally displaced horizontally during lifting and aligned horizontally relative to the labeling machine. This will be discussed in detail below.
the module assembly 80 is completely aligned horizontally and fixed in its horizontal position. From this point on, only a vertical displacement of the module assembly 80 by a further raising or lowering of the lifting device 20 is possible, as long as the positioning elements 58 are in contact with the vertical surface portions 100 of the positioning elements 92.
FIGS. 6a, 6b and 6c show the process of aligning the module assembly 80 according to the in FIG. 1 shown embodiment when lifting the module assembly 80 (see vertical arrow PV).
the FIGS. 6a to 6c each show a sectional view of the receiving device 10 according to the in FIG. 1 shown embodiment and the module assembly 80 according to the in FIG. 2 shown embodiment, which engage with each other, wherein of the receiving device 10, only the two positioning elements 58 and some frame components are shown.
FIG. 6a shows the in FIG. 3 illustrated state, after which the module unit 80 is already received by the receiving device 10.
the engagement member (not shown) is fully engaged with the mating engagement member (not shown).
the rollers 84 of the module assembly 80 no longer touch the ground in this state, which means that the module unit 80 is already raised.
the positioning elements 58 are still at least partially above the positioning element 92 and the positioning surface 94.
the module assembly 80 is further horizontally displaceable in this state and the automatic alignment of the module assembly relative to the labeling has not yet begun in this state.
FIG. 6b shows another state of the module assembly 80 during horizontal alignment relative to the labeling machine at a time later than the time of the state FIG. 6a ,
the module assembly 80 is already raised further from the ground, so that the positioning surface 94 in the region of the inclined surface portion 102 on one side of the module assembly 80 (here on the real side) is in contact with the corresponding positioning member 58 of the receiving device 10.
FIG. 6b also shows that the module unit 80 is opposite to the state in FIG. 6a is offset horizontally (see horizontal arrow PH). This offset may be due to a horizontal displacement of the module assembly 80 during lifting, for example due to an uneven ground. Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable that the module assembly 80 already in the introduction of the module assembly 80 in the receiving area 17 of the receiving device 10 in FIG. 6b shown position (unlike in FIG. 6a shown).
the inclined surface portion 102 contacting the positionally fixed positioning member 58 cooperates with the roller 62 of the corresponding positioning member 58. Due to the inclination of the inclined surface portion 102 and the further vertical lifting of the module assembly 80, the horizontally displaceable module unit 80 is displaced horizontally in the direction of the non-contacting positioning element 58. This creates an automatic horizontal alignment and positioning relative to the labeling (horizontal arrow PH).

the components 126 guided on the rails 54 are shown here.
the guided components 126 are designed such that they undercut the respective rail 54. Since the guided components 126 are firmly connected to the lifting device 20 of the receiving device 10 or to the vertical lifting struts 30, thus only a vertical movement of the lifting device 20 is allowed.
FIG. 7 also shows that the distance between the positioning elements 58 and the rollers 62 of the positioning elements 58 substantially corresponds to the distance between the vertical surface portions 100 of the positioning surfaces 94 of the module assembly 80. Accordingly, the horizontal position of the module assembly is completely fixed relative to the labeling machine as soon as the positioning elements 58 are in contact with the vertical surface portions 100 of the module assembly 80 on both sides.

the module assemblies 80, 80a, 80b, 80c, 80d of the previously described embodiments may also be formed with a corresponding inclination.
the inclination of the module assembly 80e results from the height difference or the levels of storage between an area of the module assembly 80e facing the labeling machine and an area of the module assembly 80e facing away from the labeling machine.
