Wie der Fig. 1 entnommen werden kann, besitzt die
Etikettenentfernungsmaschine 50 ein Karussell 51, dem ein
Einlaufsternrad 52 und ein Auslaufsternrad 53 zugeordnet
ist. Das Karussell 51 und das Auslaufsternrad 53 sind nur
mit ihren Teilkreisen angedeutet, die sich am Übergabepunkt
berühren. Zwischen dem Einlaufsternrad 52 und dem
Auslaufsternrad 53 ist ein Führungsbogen 54 vorhanden. Dem
Einlaufsternrad 52 ist eine tangential ausgerichtete
Einteilschnecke 55 zugeordnet, die zusammen mit dem
Einlaufsternrad den Einlaufbereich E der Maschine bildet.
Die Einteilschnecke 55, das Einlaufsternrad 52, das
Karussell 51 und das Auslaufsternrad 53 werden synchron
zueinander angetrieben. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the
Label removal machine 50 a
Beim Durchfahren des Kreisabschnittes von der
Einteilschnecke 55 bis zum Übergabepunkt am Karussell 51
werden die Flaschen 1 im Einlaufsternrad 52 auf einer
ortsfesten Überschubplatte 56 gleitend transportiert (Fig.
2), wobei die Flaschen 1 an der dem Einlaufsternrad 52
gegenüberliegenden Seite vom Führungsbogen 54 seitlich
gestützt und geführt werden.When driving through the circular section of the

Das Einlaufsternrad 52 besitzt eine in nicht näher
dargestellter Weise im Maschinengestell vertikal gelagerte,
angetriebene Welle 57, an der eine horizontale Tragscheibe
58 verdrehfest angebracht ist. Oberhalb der Tragscheibe 58
ist ein eine in die äußere Umfangsfläche eingeformte
Nutkurve aufweisender Zylinder 59 frei drehbar auf der Welle
57 gelagert, wobei der Zylinder 59 mittels einer nicht
dargestellten Drehmomentstütze gegen Verdrehen gesichert
ist. Auf einem Teilkreis der Tragscheibe 58 sind vertikal
stehend angeordnete Führungsstangen 69 befestigt, deren
obere Enden durch einen Ring 60 verbunden sind. Ferner sind
auf der Tragscheibe 58 die in Fig. 1 erkennbaren
Flaschenzentrierkörper 61 befestigt.The
Zwei benachbarte Flaschenzentrierkörper 61 bilden zusammen
jeweils eine Aufnahmetasche für eine Flasche 1. Ein jeweils
zwischen zwei benachbarten Flaschenzentrierkörpern 61
vorhandener senkrechter Schlitz wird von einer Schneidklinge
62 durchgriffen, die an einem Ende um eine horizontale Achse
63 schwenkbar gelagert ist und von einer Druckfeder 64 mit
ihrem gegenüberliegenden, eine Schneide aufweisenden Ende
permanent in Richtung zur Flaschenwand beaufschlagt wird.
Die zuvor genannte Achse 63 ist im Schlitz eines
Führungsstangenpaares 69 vertikal verschiebbar gelagerten
Klotzes 65 befestigt. An der zur Welle 57 weisenden Seite
des Klotzes 65 ist eine Kurvenrolle 66 angeordnet, die in
die Nutkurve des Zylinders 59 eingreift (Fig. 2).Two adjacent
Der Nutkurvenverlauf ist so gestaltet, daß die Schneidklinge
62 bei einer Abwärtsbewegung des Klotzes 65 mit ihrer Spitze
von oben zwischen dem oberen Etikettenrand und der
Flaschenwand eindringt und das Rundumetikett 2 von seiner
zur Flaschenwand weisenden Innenseite her in Richtung zur
Außenseite durchtrennt, während eine Flasche den
Kreisabschnitt von der Einteilschnecke 55 bis zum Karussell
51 passiert. Je nach der zur Verfügung stehenden Länge des
Kreisabschnittes und der Etikettenmaterialeigenschaften kann
das Etikett am oberen Rand entweder nur angeschnitten oder -
falls notwendig- vollständig bis zum unteren Etikettenrand
durchtrennt werden.The groove curve is designed so that the
Entscheidend ist, daß am Umfang des Rundumetiketts 2 eine
Sollbruchstelle entsteht, die nachfolgend beim Durchfahren
des Karussells 51 ein Abblasen des Etiketts mittels
Fluidstrahlen, beispielsweise Druckluftstrahlen, ermöglicht.
Zu diesem Zweck werden die Flaschen 1 bei der Übergabe vom
Einlaufsternrad 52 an das Karussell 51 von mit dem Karussell
51 umlaufenden, elastischen Klammern 90 unterhalb der
Mündung am Hals erfaßt und bodenfrei hängend an Blasdüsen 91
vorbeigeführt, die schräg von oben, auf den oberen
Etikettenrand, im wesentlichen axial zur Flaschenwand
ausgerichtete Fluidstrahlen abgeben (Fig. 4). Die Blasdüsen

Abweichend von dem vorstehend beschriebenen
Ausführungsbeispiel, könnte anstelle der jeder
Aufnahmetasche zugeordneten Schneidklinge 62 ein
Hochdruckwasserstrahl oder ein Laserstrahl zum Einsatz
kommen. Eine Laserlichtquelle könnte vorteilhafterweise
stationär am Einlaufsternrad 52 positioniert werden, wenn
der Laserstrahl mittels eines steuerbaren Spiegels, z.B.
Schwingspiegel, kurzzeitig zum Schneiden des
Etikettenmaterials der Flaschenbewegung entsprechend
mitgeführt wird. Es können auch Mittel zum Erzeugen einer
Perforationslinie im Etikettenmaterial verwendet werden.Deviating from that described above

Die Fig. 3 zeigt eine Weiterbildung des Einlaufsternrades 52
aus der Fig. 1, wobei nur ein kleiner Ausschnitt der äußeren
Peripherie des Einlaufsternrades 52 im Bereich der
Einteilschnecke 55 (Fig. 1) in vergrößerter Abbildung
dargestellt ist.3 shows a development of the
Auf der Oberseite der die Aufnahmetaschen für die Flaschen 1
bildenden Zentrierkörper 61 sind zwei Nocken 80 bzw. 81
angeordnet. Der -in Drehrichtung D des Sternrades geseheneiner
Flasche 1 vorauseilende Nocken 80 ist fest an einem
Bolzen angeklemmt, während der nachlaufende Nocken 81 an
einer im Zentrierkörper 61 schwenkbar gelagerten, vertikal
ausgerichteten Welle 82 angeklemmt ist, die mit ihrem
unteren Ende aus der Tragplatte 58 (in Fig. 2 nicht
dargestellt) herausragt. An diesem unteren Ende der Welle 82
ist ein Steuerhebel 83 (Fig. 3) befestigt, der im Betrieb
zusammen mit der angetriebenen Tragplatte 58 umläuft und
dabei im Bereich der Einteilschnecke 55 (Fig. 1) unmittelbar
nach dem Einführen einer Flasche 1 mit einer unterhalb der
Tragplatte ortsfest angeordneten Steuerkurve 84 (Fig. 3) in
Eingriff gelangt. Durch die radial innerhalb der
Steuerhebelumlaufbahn liegende Steuerkurve 84 wird der mit
einem griffigen Gummibelag ausgestattete Nocken 81 gegen den
Uhrzeigersinn in Richtung zur Schneidklinge 62 geschwenkt,
wobei der Nocken 81 am Etikettenmaterial reibschlüssig
anliegt und es bei der Schwenkbewegung von der Flaschenwand
bereichsweise abhebt. Der zweite, an der gegenüberliegenden
Seite positionierte, ungesteuerte Nocken 80 verhindert
während dieser Schwenkbewegung des Nockens 81 ein Verdrehen
des Rundumetiketts um den Flaschenrumpf, so daß das Etikett
zwischen den Nocken 80 und 81 eine zur Schneidklinge 62
weisende Schlaufe bildet.On the top of the pockets for the bottles 1

Beginn der Schwenkbewegung vor der gedachten
Verbindungslinie V der Steuerhebelschwenkachse 82 und der
Flaschenhochachse bzw. der von diesen beiden Achsen
aufgespannten Ebene. Während der Schwenkbewegung des Nockens
81 wird die Seitenwand einer elastischen Flasche, z.B. PET-Flasche,
radial eingewölbt. Unmittelbar nach Abschluß der
Nockenschwenkbewegung wird das zwischen den beiden einer
Flasche 1 zugeordneten Nocken 80 und 81 positionierte
Schneidmesser 62 abgesenkt und dabei -wie in Fig. 2
angedeutet- von oben zwischen der Flaschenaußenwand und der
Etikettenrückseite eingeführt. Während dieser Phase kann
zusätzlich Blasluft in nicht näher dargestellter Weise von
oben auf den oberen Etikettenrand gerichtet werden, um das
Abheben des Etikettenrandes von der Flaschenwand zu
unterstützen.The point of attack A of the
Bei zähelastischen Etikettenmaterialien wird die
Schnittbewegung der Schneidklinge 62 bis zum unteren
Etikettenrand fortgesetzt, d.h. das Etikett wird vollständig
durchtrennt. Die Nocken 80 und 81 verhindern beim Schneiden
ein axiales Abrutschen des Rundumetiketts nach unten, vor
allem wenn keine oder nur eine geringe Klebeverbindung
zwischen einem Etikett 2 und einer Flasche 1 besteht.With tough elastic label materials the
