Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for removing labels, foils and the like from essentially rotationally symmetrical containers, in particular for detaching all-round labels spanning the peripheral surface of PET bottles by means of an overlap seam.
- Reusable containers in particular reusable PET reusable bottles with a sensitive surface, pose problems when cleaning and in particular removing labels prior to each refill, since the labels, which are usually glued over the entire surface, require aggressive solvents that attack the bottle wall.
- label gluing especially with all-round labels, which are held by a glued seam between the overlapping label ends, opens up new possibilities for bottle handling for reuse.
- the invention is based, to take material-friendly, environmentally friendly and efficient measures for label detachment the task.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a detection element detaching the label at least in a partial area from the peripheral surface of the container and a severing element which interacts with it in the detection area and behind the lifted label in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the container.
- the severing element has a knife edge which runs obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the container and which has a label which is cranked towards the container wall and leads in the separating direction underflow spacer is assigned.
- the severing element is exposed to the action of a spring-elastic prestressing element in the direction of the container peripheral surface.
- the severing element is expediently pivoted on a linear drive means that can be moved parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container.
- the detection element has a suction strip adapted to the curvature of the circumferential surface of the container and movable radially to the latter between a contact position and a distance position. According to a further development, a problem-free interaction of the suction bar and cutting means is ensured in that the suction bar is provided with a through opening which receives the severing element.
- An alternative mechanical embodiment for creating a distance between the label and the container wall consists in that the detection element has friction rollers that interact in opposite directions and interact in pairs symmetrically with respect to the severing element and which are also expediently designed as rubber rollers.
- the labels are either severed on containers conveyed in an upright formation by a vertical stroke movement of the knife edge or severed on containers conveyed in a horizontal formation by a horizontal stroke movement of the knife edge.
- the advantage achieved with the invention is that reusable bottles with purely mechanical means in Mass throughput can be deliberately and effectively freed from labels without damaging the bottles or polluting the environment.
- the de-labeling device shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 has a foundation 1 which carries a main bearing 2 for a main column 4 which can be driven to rotate about a vertical axis by means of a drive wheel 3.
- a main column 4 With the main column 4 is an upper part 6, which carries clamping heads 7 at uniform intervals.
- a bottle table 8 is fixedly connected to the main column 4, which likewise carries centering heads 9 at regular intervals, which are lifted by means of a lifting drive means 11 by means of a control roller 12 and a fixed control cam 13 for the purpose of accommodating upright PET bottles 14 relative to the clamping heads 7 are movable.
- the bottles 14 are provided with a body label 16 which is designed as an all-round label and which encloses the inwardly offset or constricted jacket surface of the bottle without direct adhesive contact with the bottle wall only by a glued overlap seam of the label ends.
- the upper part 6 and the bottle table 8 rotating with the main column 4 are assigned an inlet star 17 for feeding and an outlet star 18 for removing the bottles 14 and a conveying means 19 for removing the detached labels 16.
- the main column bears a firmly wedged rotor 21, which also receives holders 22 for a mechanical severing element 23 assigned to a bottle clamping point at regular intervals.
- the holders 22 can be moved parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bottle by means of a linear drive 24 in cooperation with a height limiting initiator 26.
- the severing element 23 is movably mounted on the holder 22 by means of a swivel joint 27 and is prestressed against the bottle wall by means of a compression spring 28.
- the severing element 23 has a knife edge 29 which runs obliquely to the bottle's longitudinal axis and which is provided with a spacer 31 which is bent toward the bottle wall.
- a label detection element 32 which, according to FIG. 4, is designed as a suction bar 36 which is provided with suction openings 33 and delimits a suction chamber 34 and which is adapted to the curvature of the circumferential surface of the bottle.
- the detection element 32 is provided with an opening 37 which receives the holder 22 or permits the passage of the severing element 23.
- the detection element 32 has a control lever 38 with a control roller 39 which, in cooperation with a stationary control cam 41, ensure a radial displacement of the detection element 32 relative to the circumferential surface of the bottle.
- the contact of the control roller 39 with the control cam 41 is ensured by two tension springs 42 which act on the control lever 38 and fixed support points 43.
- the device works as follows: The bottles 14 continuously transferred to the bottle table 8 by the inlet star 17 are clamped in a rotationally secure manner between the clamping head 7 and the centering head 9 during the rotation of the bottle table in the direction of arrow 44 by means of the lifting drive means 11 activated by the control cam 13.
- the suction bar 36 which is acted upon by suction air, is displaced against the bottle wall by a correspondingly designed curve section 41a of the control curve 41 and is moved back by suction of the label 16 through a correspondingly designed curve section 41b of the control curve 41.
- the spacer 31 is initially immersed under the section 16a of the label 16 which is lifted off the bottle wall in this way by activating the linear drive means 24 in the further course of the circular path 44. Then the knife edge 29 detects the lifted label section 16a and cuts the entire label 16 lengthways with the further upward movement.
- the separated labels are then pulled off the bottles by the conveyor 19 running faster relative to the bottles 14 and are transported away, for example, by suction air support.
- the detection element 132 consists of two oppositely rotating friction rollers 146 flanking the severing element 123 in parallel, for example formed as rubber rollers, which press the label 116 away from the bottle wall towards the knife edge 129 in the region of the section 116a, so that the spacer 131 and the knife edge 129 can immerse.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 elements which correspond to those of the first exemplary embodiment are provided with reference numbers increased by two hundred and are not explained again in particular.
- This arrangement differs from the first embodiment only in that the bottles 214 are conveyed continuously in a horizontal orientation, while in the same way the necessary work steps for loosening, separating and removing the label are carried out on them.
- the bottles are fed by means of a twin screw 248 which can be driven by a motor 247, the screw turns of which are arranged in the conveying direction in such a way that the bottles are increasingly brought to the predetermined pitch of the device.
- the bottles that are moved upwards in a lying position on a straight conveyor track are removed from the device by a conveyor belt conveyor 249.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Etiketten, Folien und dergleichen von im wesentlichen rotationssymmetrischen Behältern, insbesondere zum Ablösen von mittels einer Überlappungsnaht die Umfangsfläche von PET-Flaschen umspannnenden Rundumetiketten.The invention relates to a device for removing labels, foils and the like from essentially rotationally symmetrical containers, in particular for detaching all-round labels spanning the peripheral surface of PET bottles by means of an overlap seam.
Mehrwegbehälter, insbesondere wiederverwendbare PET-Mehrwegflaschen mit empfindlicher Oberfläche werfen bei der vor jeder Neubefüllung üblichen Reinigung und insbesondere Etikettenentfernung Probleme auf, da die üblicherweise ganzflächig verklebten Etiketten aggressive Lösungsmittel erforderlich machen, welche die Flaschenwandung angreifen.
Hier eröffnen Etikettenverklebungen, insbesondere bei Rundumetiketten, die allein durch eine Klebnaht zwischen den sich überlappenden Etikettenenden gehalten werden, neue Möglichkeiten auch bei der Flaschenbehandlung zwecks Wiederverwendung.Reusable containers, in particular reusable PET reusable bottles with a sensitive surface, pose problems when cleaning and in particular removing labels prior to each refill, since the labels, which are usually glued over the entire surface, require aggressive solvents that attack the bottle wall.
Here, label gluing, especially with all-round labels, which are held by a glued seam between the overlapping label ends, opens up new possibilities for bottle handling for reuse.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, materialschonende, umweltverträgliche und leistungsfähige Maßnahmen zur Etikettenablösung zu treffen.The invention is based, to take material-friendly, environmentally friendly and efficient measures for label detachment the task.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein das Etikett wenigstens in einem Teilbereich von der Behälterumfangsfläche ablösendes Erfassungsorgan und ein mit diesem im Erfassungsbereich zusammenwirkendes, das abgehobene Etikett in Richtung der Behälterlängsachse hinterfassendes Durchtrennungselement.This object is achieved according to the invention by a detection element detaching the label at least in a partial area from the peripheral surface of the container and a severing element which interacts with it in the detection area and behind the lifted label in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the container.
Eine saubere Auftrennung des Etiketts über seine gesamte Länge wird gemäß einer Weiterbildung dadurch erleichtert, daß das Durchtrennungselement eine schräg zur Behälterlängsachse verlaufende Messerschneide aufweist, welcher ein zur Behälterwand gekröpfter, in Trennrichtung voreilender, das Etikett unterlaufender Abstandhalter zugeordnet ist.
Um das Etikett jederzeit auf der gesamten Schnittlänge sicher zu erfassen, ist das Durchtrennungselement in Richtung auf die Behälterumfangsfläche der Wirkung eines federelastischen Vorspanngliedes ausgesetzt.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Durchtrennungselement nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung an einem parallel zur Behälterlängsachse verfahrbaren Linearantriebsmittel drehgelenkig gelagert.According to a further development, a clean separation of the label over its entire length is facilitated in that the severing element has a knife edge which runs obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the container and which has a label which is cranked towards the container wall and leads in the separating direction underflow spacer is assigned.
In order to securely grasp the label over the entire cut length at any time, the severing element is exposed to the action of a spring-elastic prestressing element in the direction of the container peripheral surface.
According to a further embodiment, the severing element is expediently pivoted on a linear drive means that can be moved parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container.
Um das normalerweise die Behälterumfangsfläche straff umschließende Etikett sicher erfassen und auf Schneidabstand abziehen zu können, wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, daß das Erfassungsorgan eine der Krümmung der Behälterumfangsfläche angepaßte, radial zu dieser zwischen einer Kontaktstellung und einer Abstandsstellung bewegbare Saugleiste aufweist.
Eine problemlose Zusammenwirkung von Saugleiste und Schneidmittel ist gemäß einer Weiterbildung dadurch gewährleistet, daß die Saugleiste mit einer das Durchtrennungselement aufnehmenden Durchgangsöffnung versehen ist.
Eine alternative mechanische Ausgestaltungsform zur Schaffung eines Abstandes zwischen dem Etikett und der Behälterwand besteht darin, daß das Erfassungsorgan symmetrisch zum Durchtrennungselement paarweise zusammenwirkende, gegensinnig antreibbare Reibrollen aufweist, welche darüber hinaus zweckmäßigerweise als Gummirollen ausgebildet sind.
Gemäß alternativen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen werden die Etiketten entweder an in aufrechter Formation geförderten Behältern durch eine vertikale Hubbewegung der Messerschneide durchtrennt oder an in liegender Formation geförderten Behältern durch eine horizontale Hubbewegung der Messerschneide durchtrennt.In order to be able to securely grasp the label which normally surrounds the circumferential surface of the container and to be able to pull it off at a cutting distance, it is further proposed that the detection element has a suction strip adapted to the curvature of the circumferential surface of the container and movable radially to the latter between a contact position and a distance position.
According to a further development, a problem-free interaction of the suction bar and cutting means is ensured in that the suction bar is provided with a through opening which receives the severing element.
An alternative mechanical embodiment for creating a distance between the label and the container wall consists in that the detection element has friction rollers that interact in opposite directions and interact in pairs symmetrically with respect to the severing element and which are also expediently designed as rubber rollers.
According to alternative embodiments according to the invention, the labels are either severed on containers conveyed in an upright formation by a vertical stroke movement of the knife edge or severed on containers conveyed in a horizontal formation by a horizontal stroke movement of the knife edge.
Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht darin, daß mit rein mechanischen Mitteln wiederverwendbare Mehrwegflaschen im Massendurchsatz gezielt und effektiv von Etiketten befreit werden, ohne daß die Flaschen beschädigt werden oder die Umwelt belastet wird.The advantage achieved with the invention is that reusable bottles with purely mechanical means in Mass throughput can be deliberately and effectively freed from labels without damaging the bottles or polluting the environment.
Die Erfindung wird unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung anhand von bevorzugten, die Erfindung nicht beschränkenden Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert.The invention is explained with reference to the drawing using preferred, non-limiting exemplary embodiments.

Die Wirkungsweise der Vorrichtung ist wie folgt:
Die kontinuierlich durch den Einlaufstern 17 an den Flaschentisch 8 übergebenen Flaschen 14 werden während der Rotation des Flaschentisches in Pfeilrichtung 44 mittels der durch die Steuerkurve 13 aktivierten Hubantriebsmittel 11 drehsicher zwischen Spannkopf 7 und Zentrierkopf 9 eingespannt.
Im weiteren Verlauf der Kreisbahn in Pfeilrichtung 44 wird die durch Saugluft beaufschlagte Saugleiste 36 durch einen entsprechend gestalteten Kurvenabschnitt 41a der Steuerkurve 41 gegen die Flaschenwandung verschoben und unter Ansaugung des Etiketts 16 durch einen entsprechend gestalteten Kurvenabschnitt 41b der Steuerkurve 41 zurückbewegt. Unter den auf diese Weise von der Flaschenwand abgehobenen Abschnitt 16a des Etiketts 16 taucht durch Aktivierung des Linearantriebsmittels 24 im weiteren Verlauf der Kreisbahn 44 zunächst der Abstandhalter 31 ein. Danach erfaßt die Messerschneide 29 den abgehobenen Etikettenabschnitt 16a und durchtrennt bei der weiteren Aufwärtsbewegung das ganze Etikett 16 der Länge nach.The device works as follows:
