Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif portatif pour étiqueter des produits fragiles ou autres objets.The subject of the present invention is a portable device for labeling fragile products or other objects.

Le secteur technique de l'invention est celui des appareils pour apposer des étiquettes sur des produits fragiles, tels que des fruits ou autres objets suivant des cadences élevées.The technical sector of the invention is that of devices for affixing labels on fragile products, such as fruit or other objects following high rates.

On connaít déjà des machines à étiqueter comprenant un palpeur mécanique comprenant un bras qui dépose et fixe sur lesdits objets des étiquettes issues d'un ruban enroulé autour d'une bobine. Ces machines ne sont pas appropriées pour apposer des étiquettes sur des produits ou autres objets fragiles.We already know labeling machines including a probe mechanical comprising an arm which deposits and fixes labels on said objects from a ribbon wrapped around a reel. These machines are not suitable for affixing labels to fragile products or other objects.

On connaít également un dispositif portatif pour apposer des étiquettes, décrit dans le brevet FR 2 532 276 au nom du demandeur. Un tel dispositif est tout à fait approprié pour apposer des étiquettes sur des produits ou objets fragiles, mais sa conception nécessite de commander le déroulement des étiquettes par action manuelle sur une gâchette au passage de l'appareil au-dessus de chacun des objets, ou bien utilise une cellule infrarouge pour détecter la présence des objets et pour commander la mise en route et l'arrêt du moteur déroulant le ruban porte étiquettes.There is also a portable device for affixing labels, described in patent FR 2 532 276 in the name of the applicant. Such a device is very suitable for affixing labels to products or objects fragile, but its design requires controlling the unwinding of the labels by manual action on a trigger when the device passes over each objects, or uses an infrared cell to detect the presence of objects and to control the starting and stopping of the motor unrolling the ribbon label holder.

L'objectif de la présente invention est de réaliser l'étiquetage de tels produits ou objets fragiles, par simple passage de l'appareil d'étiquetage mis au contact desdits objets, sans que cela nécessite de commander le déroulement du ruban porte-étiquettes par une action manuelle.The objective of the present invention is to carry out the labeling of such fragile products or objects, by simply passing the labeling device placed contact of said objects, without this requiring controlling the course of the label holder tape by manual action.

Le brevet DE-A-2104419 décrit un dispositif portatif pour étiqueter des produits fragiles ou autres objets de type comprenant d'une part, un appareil d'étiquetage comportant un porte-bobine adapté pour recevoir une bobine autour de laquelle est enroulé un ruban portant des étiquettes adhésives réparties suivant un pas régulier, des moyens pour entraíner pas à pas ledit ruban. des moyens pour décoller les étiquettes dudit ruban ainsi qu'un organe de préhension et d'autre part. un boítier électronique relié audit appareil et pouvant être connecté sur un branchement électrique ; en outre. ce dispositif comporte un élément basculant, constitué par une plaque d'application d'étiquettes, coopérant avec un commutateur afin d'entraíner ou d'arreter le moteur entrainant la bobine.DE-A-2104419 describes a portable device for labeling fragile products or other objects of type comprising on the one hand, a device labeling comprising a reel holder adapted to receive a reel around from which is wound a ribbon carrying adhesive labels distributed according to a regular step, means for stepping said tape step by step. means for peel off the labels from said tape as well as a gripping member and on the other hand. an electronic box connected to said device and which can be connected to a electrical connection ; in addition. this device comprises a tilting element, consisting of a label application plate, cooperating with a switch to drive or stop the motor driving the coil.

L'objectif de l'invention est atteint par un dispositif dans lequel ledit appareil comporte à sa partie avant une rampe d'éjection des étiquettes. basculante, comportant du côté de son extrémité libre que contourne ledit ruban. une monture sur laquelle est monté à rotation libre un rouleau-presseur, sur un axe parallèle à ladite rampe, laquelle coopère avec des moyens établissant une liaison électrique avec ledit boítier, de telle sorte qu'à chaque pression exercée sur ledit rouleau mis en appui sur un desdits produits ou objets, le basculement de ladite rampe vers le haut et son retour à sa position initiale provoque le déroulement de ladite bobine selon un pas et corrélativement l'éjection d'une étiquette entre le produit ou objet et ledit rouleau.The object of the invention is achieved by a device in which said device has at its front part a label ejection ramp. tilting, comprising on the side of its free end that surrounds said strip. a mount on which is mounted to free rotation of a pressure roller, on an axis parallel to said ramp, which cooperates with means establishing a connection electric with said housing, so that each time it is pressed exerted on said roller supported on one of said products or objects, the tilting of said ramp upwards and its return to its initial position causes said coil to unwind according to a not and correlatively the ejection of a label between the product or object and said roller.

Ladite rampe basculante comporte au-dessus de la face sur laquelle se déplace ledit ruban, une traverse solidaire de ladite monture et parallèle à ladite face, laquelle traverse délimite avec celle-ci un espace au travers duquel passe le ruban porte-étiquettes.Said tilting ramp comprises above the face on which moves said ribbon, a cross member integral with said frame and parallel to said face, which crosses delimits with the latter a space through which the label-carrying tape passes.

Ladite traverse s'étend sur la largeur de la rampe basculante et est constituée par un rouleau monté à rotation libre sur un axe fixé à la monture. Ledit rouleau-presseur est monté pivotant et sur une glissière pour régler sa position par rapport à l'extrémité de ladite rampe basculante.Said cross member extends over the width of the tilting ramp and consists of a roller mounted with free rotation on an axis fixed to Frame. Said pressure roller is pivotally mounted on a slide to adjust its position relative to the end of said tilting ramp.

L'extrémité de la rampe qui est contournée par le ruban porte-étiquettes comporte sur sa largeur un rouleau monté à rotation libre sur un axe fixé à la rampe et dont le diamètre est sensiblement égal à l'épaisseur de ladite rampe.The end of the ramp which is bypassed by the label-carrying tape has on its width a roller mounted with free rotation on an axis fixed to the ramp and whose diameter is substantially equal to the thickness of said ramp.

Ledit appareil comporte un capteur de présence des étiquettes composé d'un ou plusieurs émetteurs et récepteurs portés par une monture située en amont de ladite rampe par rapport au sens de défilement dudit ruban, lequel capteur est déplaçable dans le sens du défilement du ruban pour régler la position dudit capteur, en fonction de la distance qui sépare deux étiquettes et de leurs dimensions et corrélativement à leur position de collage sous ledit rouleau-presseur. Ledit capteur est monté sur un support réglable dans le sens transversal du ruban porte-étiquettes et par rapport à ladite monture.Said device includes a label presence sensor composed of one or more transmitters and receivers carried by a frame located upstream of said ramp relative to the direction of scrolling of said ribbon, which sensor is movable in the direction of scrolling of the ribbon to adjust the position of said sensor, depending the distance between two labels and their dimensions and correlatively to their bonding position under said pressure roller. Said sensor is mounted on a support adjustable in the direction transverse of the label-carrying ribbon and with respect to said frame.

L'entraínement dudit ruban est réalisé par un moteur commandé périodiquement à chaque passage des étiquettes devant ledit capteur de présence. Selon l'invention, le ruban est inséré entre les dents coopérantes de deux pignons d'entraínement dont l'un est calé sur l'axe dudit moteur. Les diamètres primitifs desdits pignons sont espacés l'un de l'autre d'une distance telle que les dents fonctionnent avec un jeu sensiblement égal à l'épaisseur du ruban. The drive of said ribbon is carried out by a controlled motor periodically each time the labels pass in front of said sensor presence. According to the invention, the ribbon is inserted between the teeth cooperating with two drive sprockets, one of which is wedged on the axis of said motor. The pitch diameters of said pinions are spaced apart from each other such that the teeth operate with a clearance substantially equal to the thickness of the ribbon.

Le résultat de l'invention est un appareil portatif permettant d'étiqueter à des très grandes cadences des objets ou produits fragiles sans les détériorer, l'étiquetage se faisant automatiquement par le passage de l'appareil au-dessus et au contact desdits objets ou produits.The result of the invention is a portable device allowing to label objects or products at very high rates fragile without damaging them, labeling is done automatically by the passage of the device above and in contact with said objects or products.

Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge further on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment of a labeling apparatus, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic elevational view of a device according to the invention, comprising a labeling device and its electronic box;

  • Figure 6 is a sectional view of the pinions for driving the label holder tape;
  • Figure 7 is a block diagram of the electronic unit and its connection to the organs mounted on the labeling apparatus. We first refer to Figures 1 to 3.

Le dispositif selon l'invention, se compose de deux sous-ensembles reliés l'un à l'autre par un câble électrique : un appareil à étiqueter 1, un boítier électronique 2, un câble électrique 3. Le boítier 2 comporte en outre un câble 4 ou cordon d'alimentation comportant à son extrémité une fiche pour le raccorder au secteur.The device according to the invention consists of two sub-assemblies connected to each other by an electric cable: a device to label 1, an electronic box 2, an electric cable 3. The box 2 further includes a cable 4 or power cord with a plug at its end to connect it to the mains.

La mise sous tension de l'appareil 1 est réalisée par action sur un interrupteur 2a, lequel est par exemple du type à basculeur lumineux pour informer l'opérateur que l'étiqueteuse est ou n'est pas sous tension.Device 1 is powered up by pressing a switch 2a, which is for example of the rocker type illuminated to inform the operator that the label maker is or is not under pressure.

L'appareil à étiqueter 1 se compose d'une structure 11 à laquelle est fixée une poignée 12. A la structure 11 est fixé un bras 13 sensiblement perpendiculaire à ladite poignée 12 et à l'extrémité duquel bras est monté un porte-rouleau 14 à deux flasques entre lesquels est disposé le rouleau de ruban porte-étiquettes 5. Ledit porte-rouleau 14 est monté à rotation libre et est freiné de façon connue par un galet 14a mis en appui sur un desdits flasques, sous l'effet combiné d'un ressort et de la traction du ruban porte-étiquettes 5, tel que cela sera exposé plus loin.The labeling device 1 consists of a structure 11 to which is fixed a handle 12. To the structure 11 is fixed an arm 13 substantially perpendicular to said handle 12 and to the end from which arm is mounted a roll holder 14 with two flanges between which is arranged the label tape roll 5. Said roll holder 14 is mounted to rotate freely and is braked so known by a roller 14a supported on one of said flanges, under the combined effect of a spring and the pull of the label tape 5, as will be explained below.

Ledit appareil 1 comporte en outre à l'avant une rampe d'éjection des étiquettes, basculante 15, laquelle rampe est soumise à l'action d'un ressort hélicoïdal de torsion 6 monté autour de l'axe 15a autour duquel pivote la rampe, et qui a pour fonction de la mettre en appui sur un capteur inductif 7 disposé au-dessous de ladite rampe 15. Celle-ci comporte à son extrémité libre une monture 15b sur laquelle est monté réglable, un rouleau-presseur 8.Said apparatus 1 further comprises a ramp at the front label ejection, tilting 15, which ramp is subjected to the action of a helical torsion spring 6 mounted around the axis 15a around which the ramp pivots, and which has the function of putting it resting on an inductive sensor 7 disposed below said ramp 15. This has at its free end a mount 15b on which is mounted adjustable, a pressure roller 8.

Ledit rouleau 8 est monté à rotation libre sur un axe 8a parallèle à la rampe 15, lequel axe 8a est fixé en porte-à-faux sur un bras 8b rectiligne constitué par un plat à bord arrondi, comportant une lumière longitudinale 8b1. Ledit bras 8b est appliqué contre la monture 15b et est rendu solidaire de ladite monture par une vis 9 à tête fendue pour être serrée au moyen d'un tournevis ou à tête moletée pour être serrée manuellement, passée à travers ladite lumière 8b1. Ce montage permet de positionner le rouleau-presseur 8 par rapport à l'extrémité de la rampe basculante 15, en fonction de la forme et de la longueur des étiquettes et le déplacer longitudinalement dans le sens des flèches F ou F1, et/ou en pivotement dans le sens des flèches F2 ou F3, avant serrage de la vis 9. Le rouleau est par exemple réalisé à partir d'une mousse de polyuréthanne d'une densité de l'ordre de vingt à vingt-cinq kilogrammes au mètre cube.Said roller 8 is mounted for free rotation on an axis 8a parallel to the ramp 15, which axis 8a is fixed in overhang on a straight arm 8b constituted by a flat with rounded edge, comprising a longitudinal lumen 8b 1 . Said arm 8b is applied against the frame 15b and is made integral with said frame by a screw 9 with a slotted head to be tightened by means of a screwdriver or with a knurled head to be tightened manually, passed through said light 8b 1 . This assembly makes it possible to position the pressure roller 8 relative to the end of the tilting ramp 15, as a function of the shape and the length of the labels and to move it longitudinally in the direction of the arrows F or F 1 , and / or pivoting in the direction of the arrows F 2 or F 3 , before tightening the screw 9. The roller is for example made from a polyurethane foam with a density of the order of twenty to twenty-five kilograms at cubic meter.

La partie extrême de la rampe 15, située du côté du rouleau 8, et qui est contournée par le ruban porte-étiquettes 5, comporte (figure 5) un rouleau 15c s'étendant sur la largeur de la rampe, lequel rouleau est d'un diamètre sensiblement égal à l'épaisseur de la rampe 15 et est monté à rotation libre sur un axe 15d monté de façon connue dans une sorte de chape que forme la rampe à son extrémité.The extreme part of the ramp 15, located on the side of the roller 8, and which is bypassed by the label-carrying tape 5, comprises (FIG. 5) a roller 15c extending over the width of the ramp, which roll has a diameter substantially equal to the thickness of the ramp 15 and is mounted with free rotation on an axis 15d mounted so known in a kind of yoke formed by the ramp at its end.

A la monture 15b est également fixé en porte-à-faux un axe 15e autour duquel est monté à rotation libre un rouleau de guidage 15f du ruban 5.To the mount 15b is also fixed in cantilever an axis 15th around which a guide roller 15f is mounted for free rotation ribbon 5.

Ledit rouleau 15f est situé en arrière du rouleau d'extrémité 15c et légèrement au-dessus de la face supérieure de la rampe 15, de telle sorte qu'un espace e est laissé entre eux, à travers lequel passe ledit ruban. A chaque défilement du ruban 5 pas à pas, provoqué par des moyens moteurs qui seront décrits plus loin, une étiquette 5a se place au-dessous du rouleau-presseur 8. Les étiquettes 5a sont par exemple adhésives et la face du ruban 5 qui les porte est par exemple siliconée. Au-dessus de ladite rampe 15 et sensiblement au niveau où se trouve le capteur inductif 7, est fixée à ladite structure 11 une butée 10 qui limite le pivotement de la rampe 15 au moment de l'étiquetage, lorsque le rouleau-presseur 8 est au contact des produits ou objets.Said roller 15f is located behind the roller end 15c and slightly above the upper face of the ramp 15, so that a space e is left between them, at through which said ribbon passes. Each time the ribbon is scrolled 5 steps not, caused by motor means which will be described later, a label 5a is placed below the pressure roller 8. The labels 5a are for example adhesive and the face of the tape 5 which carries them is for example silicone. Above said ramp 15 and substantially at level where the inductive sensor 7 is located, is fixed to said structure 11 a stop 10 which limits the pivoting of the ramp 15 to time of labeling, when the pressure roller 8 is in contact products or objects.

Le rouleau de ruban porte-étiquettes 5 est monté sur le porte-rouleau 14 entre ses deux flasques 14b/14c. Le flasque 14b est monté tournant en porte-à-faux sur le bras 13, sur un axe transversal 14d. Ledit flasque 14b comporte trois axes transversaux 14b1, lesquels sont équidistants de l'axe de rotation du porte-rouleau 14 et sont disposés à 120° l'un de l'autre.The label holder roll 5 is mounted on the roll holder 14 between its two flanges 14b / 14c. The flange 14b is mounted rotating overhang on the arm 13, on a transverse axis 14d. Said flange 14b has three transverse axes 14b 1 , which are equidistant from the axis of rotation of the roller holder 14 and are arranged at 120 ° from one another.

Le flasque 14c est mobile et est monté sur lesdits axes 14b1 autour desquels est engagé le rouleau porte-étiquettes 5. Pour permettre son montage, le flasque mobile 14c comporte trois trous 14C1 équidistants de son centre et disposés à 120° en correspondance avec les trois axes 14b1 du flasque 14b.The flange 14c is movable and is mounted on said axes 14b 1 around which the label-carrying roller 5 is engaged. To allow its mounting, the movable flange 14c has three holes 14C 1 equidistant from its center and arranged at 120 ° in correspondence with the three axes 14b 1 of the flange 14b.

Le bras 13 comporte une extension sur un côté qui constitue un support 13a sur lequel est articulé un levier 14d autour d'un axe 13a1. A l'extrémité libre dudit levier 14, est monté ledit galet 14a, qui est en appui sur ledit flasque 14b du porte-rouleau 14 sous l'effet d'un ressort hélicoïdal de torsion 13b disposé autour de l'axe 13a1 et en appui sur le bras 14d. Une butée 13c située au-dessous de l'axe 13a1 limite la course dudit bras 14d.The arm 13 has an extension on one side which constitutes a support 13a on which a lever 14d is articulated around an axis 13a 1 . At the free end of said lever 14, said roller 14a is mounted, which is in abutment on said flange 14b of the roller holder 14 under the effect of a helical torsion spring 13b disposed around the axis 13a 1 and in support on the arm 14d. A stop 13c located below the axis 13a 1 limits the travel of said arm 14d.

Coaxialement audit galet 14a est monté un rouleau 14e sur un axe transversal 14f, commun au galet 14a et au rouleau 14e, lequel axe est parallèle à l'axe de rotation du porte-rouleau 14.Coaxially with said roller 14a is mounted a roller 14e on a transverse axis 14f, common to the roller 14a and the roller 14e, which axis is parallel to the axis of rotation of the roller holder 14.

Dans le but d'alléger la machine, les flasques 14b/14c comportent des évidements circulaires 14g équidistants de leur centre.In order to lighten the machine, the flanges 14b / 14c have circular recesses 14g equidistant from their center.

Le ruban porte-étiquettes 5 issu du porte-rouleau 14 contourne le rouleau 14e (figure 1) et est passé entre l'émetteur et le récepteur d'un capteur de présence, par exemple infra-rouge 16, lequel émetteur est fixé à un support 16a et le récepteur à un support 16b. Lesdits supports 16a/16b sont espacés l'un de l'autre pour laisser le passage au ruban 5, lequel est en appui par le dessus sur deux tiges-guides 16c transversales et parallèles, fixées à une monture 16d à laquelle sont également fixés lesdits supports 16a/16b. Ladite monture 16d est montée déplaçable dans une lumière 11a réservée dans une glissière 11b de ladite structure 11, afin de permettre le positionnement du capteur 16 en fonction des dimensions et du pas des étiquettes.The label holder tape 5 from the roll holder 14 bypasses the 14th roller (Figure 1) and is passed between the transmitter and the receiver of a presence sensor, for example infrared 16, which transmitter is fixed to a support 16a and the receiver to a support 16b. Said supports 16a / 16b are spaced from each other to leave the passage to the ribbon 5, which is supported from above on two transverse and parallel guide rods 16c, fixed to a frame 16d to which said supports 16a / 16b are also fixed. Said frame 16d is mounted displaceable in a reserved light 11a in a slide 11b of said structure 11, in order to allow the positioning of the sensor 16 as a function of the dimensions and the pitch of the labels.

Le guidage de la monture 16d sur la glissière 11b est réalisé de façon connue par une tige filetée passée à travers la lumière 11a et comportant d'un côté une butée et de l'autre un bouton moleté 16e.The guide of the mount 16d on the slide 11b is produced in a known manner by a threaded rod passed through the light 11a and comprising a stop on one side and a button on the other knurled 16th.

La monture 16 comporte également des moyens de réglage en position transversale du capteur.The mount 16 also includes means for adjusting transverse position of the sensor.

La monture 16d comporte une encoche rectangulaire 16d1 dans laquelle coulisse un bloc 16f auquel sont fixés les supports de l'émetteur et du récepteur 16a/16b. Ledit bloc 16f comporte une fente transversale 16f1 traversée par une vis à tête moletée 16g vissée dans un taraudage réservé dans l'épaisseur de la monture 16d.The mount 16d has a rectangular notch 16d 1 in which slides a block 16f to which are fixed the supports of the transmitter and the receiver 16a / 16b. Said block 16f comprises a transverse slot 16f 1 through which a knurled head screw 16g is screwed in a thread reserved in the thickness of the frame 16d.

L'entraínement du ruban porte-étiquettes 5 est réalisé par un moteur électrique 17 disposé transversalement sur l'axe 17a duquel est calé un piston d'entraínement 18, dont les dents 18a coopèrent avec celles 19a d'un pignon mené 19 monté sur un axe 19b fixé transversalement à la structure 11.The drive of the label-carrying tape 5 is carried out by an electric motor 17 disposed transversely on the axis 17a of which is wedged a drive piston 18, the teeth 18a of which cooperate with those 19a of a driven pinion 19 mounted on an axis 19b fixed transversely to the structure 11.

Pour permettre l'engagement du ruban 5 entre les deux pignons 18/19, l'axe du pignon 18 comporte un bouton moleté 18b.To allow the engagement of the ribbon 5 between the two pinions 18/19, the pinion axis 18 has a knurled button 18b.

L'entraxe e desdits pignons 18/19 est tel que les diamètres primitifs Dp1/Dp2 desdits pignons ne sont pas tangents, afin de laisser entre les dents 18a/19a des pignons, un jeu sensiblement égal à l'épaisseur du ruban 5. Ce montage permet de réaliser l'entraínement dudit ruban sans le détériorer, ce qui garantit le fonctionnement de l'appareil.The spacing e of said pinions 18/19 is such that the pitch diameters Dp 1 / Dp 2 of said pinions are not tangent, in order to leave between the teeth 18a / 19a of pinions, a play substantially equal to the thickness of the ribbon 5 This assembly makes it possible to carry out the training of said tape without damaging it, which guarantees the operation of the device.

Le boítier électronique 2 a pour fonction d'alimenter et de piloter le moteur 17 en fonction des états du capteur de présence des étiquettes 16 et du capteur inductif 7.The electronic unit 2 has the function of supplying and control the motor 17 according to the states of the presence sensor of the labels 16 and inductive sensor 7.

La mise sous tension de l'appareil 1 est réalisée en manoeuvrant le basculeur 2a. Le capteur 16 détecte la présence d'une étiquette, le capteur inductif 7 donne la position de la rampe 15. The device 1 is powered up by operating the rocker 2a. The sensor 16 detects the presence of a label, the inductive sensor 7 gives the position of the ramp 15.

Etant posé que :

  • le capteur 16 est à l'état 0 quand il détecte une étiquette,
  • le capteur 7 est à l'état 0 quand il détecte la rampe 15, l'appareil étant au repos,
  • le moteur 17 est à l'état 1 lorsqu'il est en rotation.
Given that:
  • the sensor 16 is at state 0 when it detects a label,
  • the sensor 7 is at state 0 when it detects the ramp 15, the device being at rest,
  • the motor 17 is in state 1 when it is rotating.

A la mise sous tension du boítier 2, deux cas de figure peuvent se présenter :

  • a) le capteur 16 détecte une étiquette. Dans ce cas, le moteur 17 reste dans son état de repos ;
  • b) le capteur 16 ne détecte pas d'étiquette. Dans ce cas, le moteur 17 est mis en route.
    • When the housing 2 is powered up, two scenarios can arise:
  • a) the sensor 16 detects a label. In this case, the motor 17 remains in its rest state;
  • b) the sensor 16 does not detect a label. In this case, the motor 17 is started.

    • L'arrêt du moteur 17 est commandé si :

  • a) le temps de marche du moteur a dépassé une seconde,
  • b) le capteur 16 a détecté une étiquette.
    • The engine 17 is stopped if:
  • a) the engine running time has exceeded one second,
  • b) the sensor 16 has detected a label.

    • Lorsque l'appareil est au repos, le capteur inductif 7 est à l'état 0. Lorsque ledit capteur passe à l'état 1 puis revient à l'état 0, deux cas de figure peuvent se présenter :

  • a) le capteur de présence 16 détecte une étiquette (état 0), dans ce cas le moteur 17 est mis en route.
    • When the device is at rest, the inductive sensor 7 is in state 0. When said sensor goes to state 1 and then returns to state 0, two cases can arise:
  • a) the presence sensor 16 detects a label (state 0), in this case the motor 17 is started.

    • L'arrêt du moteur est commandé si :

  • a) le temps de marche du moteur a dépassé une seconde,
  • b) le capteur de présence 16 est passé d'un état 0 à un état 1 puis de nouveau à l'état 0.
    • The engine is stopped if:
  • a) the engine running time has exceeded one second,
  • b) the presence sensor 16 has gone from a state 0 to a state 1 then again to state 0.

    • Si le capteur de présence 16 ne détecte pas d'étiquette (état 1), le moteur 17 est remis en route ; l'arrêt du moteur 17 est commandé si :

  • a) le temps de marche du moteur a dépassé une seconde,
  • b) le capteur 16 passe à l'état 0.
    • If the presence sensor 16 does not detect a label (state 1), the motor 17 is restarted; engine 17 is stopped if:
  • a) the engine running time has exceeded one second,
  • b) the sensor 16 goes to state 0.

    • La mise en route du moteur 17 est réalisée de la façon suivante :

  • a) dès que l'ordre de mise en marche est reçu, on déclenche, moteur à l'arrêt, une temporisation 19 de durée T1. Cette temporisation est réglable par action sur un potentiomètre 19a disposé à l'intérieur du coffret 2, lequel est ouvrant pour accéder audit potentiomètre.
  • b) Dès que le temps T1 est écoulé, le moteur se met effectivement en marche.
    • The engine 17 is started as follows:
  • a) as soon as the start command is received, a time delay 19 of duration T 1 is started, with the engine stopped. This time delay is adjustable by action on a potentiometer 19a disposed inside the box 2, which is opening to access said potentiometer.
  • b) As soon as the time T 1 has elapsed, the engine actually starts.

    • Tant que le moteur 17 est en fonctionnement (état 1), un changement d'état du capteur 7 seul n'est pas pris en compte.As long as the motor 17 is in operation (state 1), a change of state of sensor 7 alone is not taken into account.

    Quel que soit l'état de l'appareil 1, l'arrêt du moteur 17 est commandé si :

  • a) le temps de fonctionnement du moteur a dépassé une seconde,
  • b) un court-circuit a eu lieu au niveau du moteur 17,
  • c) une sur-intensité a eu lieu au niveau dudit moteur,
  • d) le capteur inductif est passé à l'état 1, et
  • e) le capteur de présence 16 est passé de l'état 0 à l'état 1, puis revenu à l'état 0.
    • Whatever the state of the device 1, the engine 17 is stopped if:
  • a) the engine running time has exceeded one second,
  • b) a short circuit has occurred at motor 17,
  • c) an overcurrent has occurred at said motor,
  • d) the inductive sensor has entered state 1, and
  • e) the presence sensor 16 has gone from state 0 to state 1, then returned to state 0.

    • Les phases d, e correspondent à un cycle normal de pose d'étiquettes.Phases d, e correspond to a normal laying cycle of labels.

    Lorsque l'arrêt du moteur est commandé, deux cas de figure peuvent se présenter :

  • a) Arrêt après un cycle normal de pose d'étiquettes : dans ce cas, l'arrêt du moteur 17 doit être opéré en le mettant en court-circuit afin d'obtenir un freinage électromagnétique.
  • b) Arrêt dans les trois autres cas : l'arrêt du moteur peut se faire tel que décrit ci-dessus ou alors par frottement.
    • When the engine is stopped, two scenarios can arise:
  • a) Stopping after a normal labeling cycle: in this case, the engine 17 must be stopped by short-circuiting it in order to obtain electromagnetic braking.
  • b) Stopping in the three other cases: the engine can be stopped as described above or by friction.

    • Lorsque les conditions d'arrêt du moteur 17 ne sont plus satisfaites, le fonctionnement reprend suite à une simple action sur la rampe 15, le capteur 7 passant alors à l'état 1 puis à l'état 0, sans être obligé de couper l'alimentation du coffret 2.When the conditions for stopping the engine 17 are no longer satisfied, operation resumes following a simple action on the ramp 15, the sensor 7 then passing to state 1 then to state 0, without having to turn off the power to the cabinet 2.
