Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung der Drehbewegung von Gefäßen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for controlling the rotational movement of vessels according to the preamble of
Derartige Vorrichtungen werden insbesondere in Verbindung mit Etikettiermaschinen für Gefäße verwendet. Bei der maschinellen Etikettierung werden zu etikettierende Gefäße über eine Fördereinrichtung dem Transportkarussell einer Etikettiermaschine zugeführt. Im Randbereich des Transportkarussells sind drehbar gelagerte Drehteller vorgesehen, auf denen jeweils mittels einer absenkbaren Zentriereinrichtung (auch als "Tulpe" bezeichnet) ein Gefäß auf dem Drehteller festgesetzt wird. Um das Transportkarussell herum sind eine oder mehrere feststehende Etikettierstationen angeordnet. Desweiteren befindet sich eine Anbürststation an dem Transportkaraussel. Für den eigentlichen Etikettiervorgang werden die Gefäße auf dem sich drehenden Transportkarussell an der bzw. an den Etikettierstationen vorbeigeführt, wobei die Gefäße gleichzeitig mit Hilfe der Drehteller relativ zu dem Transportkarussell in einer bestimmten Abfolge von Drehschritten verdreht werden, um die Gefäße zum Aufbringen und Anbürsten der Etiketten in einer bestimmten Winkelausrichtung und mit einer bestimmten Drehgeschwindigkeit bzw. Winkelgeschwindigkeit an den jeweiligen Etikettierstationen vorbeizuführen.Such devices are used in particular in connection with labeling machines for vessels. In automated labeling, containers to be labeled are fed via a conveying device to the transport carousel of a labeling machine. In the edge region of the transport carousel rotatably mounted turntable are provided, on each of which by means of a lowerable centering device (also referred to as "tulip") a vessel is fixed on the turntable. One or more fixed labeling stations are arranged around the transport carousel. Furthermore, there is an Anbürststation to the transport carouse. For the actual labeling process, the vessels are guided past the rotating transport carousel at or at the labeling stations, wherein the vessels are simultaneously rotated by means of the turntables relative to the transport carousel in a certain sequence of rotation steps to the vessels for applying and brushing the Labels in a specific angular orientation and at a certain rotational speed or angular velocity pass the respective labeling stations.
Um die einzelnen Drehteller relativ zum Transportkarussell gesteuert zu verdrehen, ist an jedem Drehteller eine Führungseinrichtung angebracht, die bei der Drehung des Transportkarussells an einer bezüglich des Transportkarussells verdrehfest angeordneten Steuerkurve abrollt und diese bei Drehung des Transportkarussells abtastet. Auf dieser stationären Steuerkurve ist die gewünschte Abfolge von Drehbewegungen durch die Form der Steuerkurve vorgegeben. Durch Abrollen der Führungseinrichtung, die beispielsweise ein unten an dem Drehteller verdrehfest angebrachtes Rollenkreuz aufweist, an der Steuerkurve wird die gewünschte Drehbewegung durch die Führungseinrichtung von der Steuerkurve auf den Drehteller übertragen.In order to rotate the individual turntable controlled relative to the transport carousel, a guide device is mounted on each turntable, which rolls during rotation of the transport carousel with respect to the transport carousel rotationally arranged control cam and scans it upon rotation of the transport carousel. On this stationary cam the desired sequence of rotational movements is given by the shape of the control cam. By rolling the guide means having, for example, a rotationally fixed at the bottom of the turntable roller cross, on the control cam, the desired rotational movement is transmitted by the guide means of the control cam on the turntable.
Die Steuerkurve kann bezüglich des Rollenkreuzes außen liegend ausgebildet sein, so daß das Rollenkreuz die Innenfläche des Steuerkurvenkranzes abtastet.The cam may be formed lying outside with respect to the roller cross, so that the roller cross scans the inner surface of the cam ring.
Eine Vorrichtung mit den obigen Merkmalen ist zum Beispiel aus der DE 33 07 662 C2 bekannt, die eine Etikettiermaschine mit außenliegender Steuerkurve beschreibt.A device with the above features is known for example from DE 33 07 662 C2, which describes a labeling machine with an external cam.
Ferner ist eine Etikettiervarrichtung unter der Bezeichnung "Contiroll" der Krones AG bekannt, bei der die außenliegende Steuerkurve in ortsfeste Segmente unterteilt ist und ein Segment austauschbar ist, um die Form ier Steuerkurve und damit die vorgegebene Drehbewegung der Drehteller variieren und an die gegenwärtig zu bearbeitenden Gefäße im Bereich der Etikettierstation anpassen zu können.Furthermore, a Etikettiervarrichtung is known under the name "Contiroll" Krones AG, in which the outer cam is divided into stationary segments and a segment is interchangeable to vary the shape of the control cam and thus the predetermined rotational movement of the turntable and to be processed at the present To adapt vessels in the labeling station.
Da bei einer Etikettiermaschine im Betrieb verschiedene Etikettierstationen über den Umfang des Umlaufweges der Drehteller verteilt um das Transportkarussell angebracht sind, die die verschiedenen Arbeitsschritte, wie Etikettenaufnahme, Beleimen, Positionieren des Etiketts am Gefäß, Andrücken etc. vornehmen, ist das Transportkarussell und die darunterliegende Steuerkurve, jedenfalls in den Bereichen, wo Etikettierstationen in Nachbarschaft zu dem Transportkarussell angeordnet sind, sehr schwer oder gar nicht zugänglich, so daß das Lösen und Entfernen von Segmenten der Steuerkurve äußerst schwierig oder gar nicht möglich ist. Für einen vollständigen Austausch der Steuerkurve durch Auswechseln aller Segmente ist es daher erforderlich, daß sämtliche Etikettierstationen entfernt werden, damit die Steuerkurve über den ganzen Umfang zugänglich wird. Dies bedeutet einen erheblichen Montageaufwand und einen langen Maschinenstillstand, wenn die Steuerkurvensegmente ausgewechselt werden sollen.Since in a labeling machine in operation different labeling stations are distributed over the circumference of the circulation path of the turntable to the transport carousel, the various steps, such as label recording, gluing, Positioning the label on the vessel, pressing, etc., the transport carousel and the underlying control curve, at least in the areas where labeling stations are arranged in the vicinity of the transport carousel, very difficult or even inaccessible, so that the release and removal of segments of Control curve is extremely difficult or impossible. For a complete replacement of the control cam by replacing all segments, it is therefore necessary that all labeling stations are removed so that the control cam is accessible over the entire circumference. This means a considerable installation effort and a long machine downtime when the cam segments are to be replaced.
Aus EP 0 547 427 B1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung der Drehbewegung von Drehtellern bekannt, bei der die außenliegende Steuerkurve in Drehrichtung verstellbar ist, um dadurch unterschiedliche Steuerkurvenformen in den wirksamen Bereich zu den daran abrollenden Führungseinrichtungen bringen zu können, um dadurch eine Anpaßbarkeit an unterschiedliche Gefäßgrößen zu ermöglichen. Bei dieser Vorrichtung wird also durch die Verdrehung der gewünschte Steuerkurventeil in den wirksame Bereich gebracht. Dagegen sind keine austauschbaren Steuerkurvensegmente vorgesehen, da die gewünschte Variabilität der wirksamen Steuerkurvenform durch deren Dreheinstellung bewirkt werden soll.EP 0 547 427 B1 discloses a device for controlling the rotary movement of turntables, in which the outer control cam is adjustable in the direction of rotation so as to be able to bring different control cam shapes into the effective region to the guide devices rolling on them, in order thereby to adapt to different speeds To allow vessel sizes. In this device, therefore, the desired control cam part is brought into the effective range by the rotation. In contrast, no interchangeable control cam segments are provided, since the desired variability of the effective cam shape is to be effected by the rotational adjustment.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung der Drehbewegung von Gefäßen anzugeben, bei der eine beliebige, gewünschte Steuerkurve einfach und schnell, insbesondere ohne Werkzeug, montierbar und demontierbar ist.It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for controlling the rotational movement of vessels, in which any desired control curve is easy and quick, in particular without tools, assembled and disassembled.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 in Verbindung mit dessen Oberbegriff. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.To solve this problem, the characterizing features of
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung sind die Steuerkurvensegmente an einem Kurventräger lösbar gehaltert, wobei der Kurventräger bezüglich des feststehenden Rahmens drehbar um die Drehachse des Transportkarussells gelagert ist. Weiterhin ist eine Feststelleinrichtung vorhanden, mit der der Kurventräger gegen Verdrehungen bezüglich der Drehachse des Transportkarussells lösbar festgesetzt werden kann.According to the present invention, the cam segments are releasably supported on a cam carrier, wherein the cam carrier is rotatably mounted with respect to the fixed frame about the axis of rotation of the transport carousel. Furthermore, a locking device is provided, with which the cam carrier against rotation with respect to the axis of rotation of the transport carousel can be releasably fixed.
Aufgrund dieser Gestaltung ist es möglich, zur Auswechslung einer Steuerkurve den Kurventräger aus seiner Feststellung zu lösen und so zu verdrehen, daß das auszuwechselnde Steuerkurvensegment an einer gut zugänglichen Stelle liegt. Nach Austausch des Steuerkurvensegments kann der Kurventräger weitergedreht werden und gegebenenfalls ein weiteres Steuerkurvensegment ausgetauscht werden. Nach Austausch aller gewünschten Steuerkurvensegmente wird der Kurventräger wieder in seine Ausgangslage zurückgedreht und mittels der Feststelleinrichtung gegen Verdrehen gesichert, so daß die Ortsfestigkeit der Steuerkurve gewährleistet ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Steuerkurve modifiziert oder gegebenenfalls vollkommen ausgetauscht werden, ohne daß andere um das Transportkarussell angeordnete Vorrichtungen demontiert und entfernt werden müssen. Dadurch wird der Zeit- und Montageaufwand zum Auswechseln einer Steuerkurve erheblich reduziert.Due to this design, it is possible to replace the cam carrier from its finding to replace a control cam and twist so that the cam segment to be replaced is located at an easily accessible location. After replacing the cam segment of the cam carrier can be further rotated and optionally replaced another control cam segment. After replacing all desired cam segments of the cam carrier is rotated back to its original position and secured by means of the locking device against rotation, so that the local strength of the control cam is guaranteed. In this way, the control curve can be modified or possibly completely replaced without other devices arranged around the transport carousel must be dismantled and removed. As a result, the time and effort required to replace a control cam is significantly reduced.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels in der einzigen Zeichnung beschrieben, die eine Querschnittsansicht des hier relevanten Teils einer Etikettiermaschine zeigt.The invention will be described below with reference to an exemplary embodiment in the single drawing which shows a cross-sectional view of the relevant part of a labeling machine.
Die Etikettiermaschine hat eine Grundplatte 36, die Teil eines feststehenden Rahmens (nicht gezeigt) ist. In der Grundplatte 36 ist über mehrere Kugellager 14 eine vertikale Antriebswelle 2 drehbar gelagert. An der Antriebswelle 2 ist unten ein Antriebszahnrad 11 angebracht. Das Antriebszahnrad 11 wird von nicht dargestellten Antriebsvorrichtungen zur Drehung angetrieben.The labeling machine has a
Fest mit der Antriebswelle 2 verbunden ist ein Transportkarussell 3. Das Transportkarussell 3 weist eine Mehrzahl von Drehtellern 4 auf, die konzentrisch zur Drehachse der Antriebswelle 2 und über den Umfang des Transportkarussells 3 verteilt angeordnet sind. Jeder Drehteller 4 ist mit einer Führungseinrichtung 5 verbunden, die dazu ausgebildet ist, an einer außerhalb des Umlaufweges der Drehteller 4 angeordneten Steuerkurve 7 abzurollen. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform hat die Führungseinrichtung 5 ein mit der Drehachse des Drehtellers verbundenes Rollenkreuz, d.h. eine Anordnung von vier Rollen, deren (vertikale) Drehachsen an den Ecken eines Quadrats liegen; es sind jedoch auch andere Formen von Rollenanordnungen als Führungseinrichtungen an der Steuerkurve möglich. Die Form der Steuerkurve bestimmt die Relativdrehung der Führungseinrichtung 14 gegenüber der rein radialen Richtung bezüglich der Drehachse der Antriebswelle 4 und bestimmt so die Relativdrehung des Drehtellers 4 bezüglich des Transportkarussells 3 bei dessen Umlauf.Fixed to the
Um verschiedene Drehprogramme ausführen zu können, d.h. um verschiedene gewünschte Drehbewegungen beim Umlauf eines Gefäßes auf einem Drehteller auf dem Transportkarussell bewirken zu können, ist die Steuerkurve 7 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung leicht auswechselbar. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Steuerkurve 7 entlang des Umfangs aus mehreren Segmenten besteht, die von dem Kurventräger 1 gelöst werden können. Die Segmente der Steuerkurve 7 können zum Beispiel mittels von oben zugänglichten Schrauben an dem Kurventräger 1 befestigt sein. Ferner ist der Kurventräger gemäß der Vorliegenden Erfindung drehbar bezüglich der Drehachse der Antriebswelle 2 gelagert, und zwar in der dargestellten Ausführungsform mittels von Kugellagern 42, die außen auf der Lagerschale des Lagers der Antriebswelle 2 angeordnet sind. Durch diese drehbare Lagerung ist es möglich, den Kurventräger und damit ein jeweils auszutauschendes Segment der Steuerkurve 7 in eine möglichst gut zugängliche Stellung an der Etikettiermaschine zu bringen So daß das betroffene Segment der Steuerkurve 7 leicht ausgetauscht werden kann. Nach Austausch des Segments kann durch Weiterdrehen des Kurventrägers 1 der Austausch weiterer Segmente fortgesetzt werden. Nach Abschluß des Austauschvorgangs wird der Kurventräger 1 wieder relativ zu der Grundplatte drehfest festgesetzt, so daß die Steuerkurve wieder drehfest gehalten ist und somit wiederum eine ortsfeste Steuerkurve zum Abrollen der Führungseinrichtungen 5 bildet.In order to be able to carry out various turning programs, ie in order to be able to effect various desired rotary movements during the circulation of a vessel on a turntable on the transport carousel, the control cam 7 according to the present invention is easily replaceable. This is achieved in that the control cam 7 along the circumference of several segments, which can be solved by the
Die Feststelleinrichtung zum Festsetzen des Kurventrägers 1 gegenüber Verdrehungen wird in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel durch ein in dem Kurventräger 1 verlaufendes Langloch und ein in der Grundplatte 36 befestigtes Gewindestück 32 gebildet. Das Langloch im Kurventräger 1 ist konzentrisch zur Drehachse der Antriebswelle 2 geformt und erstreckt sich über einen solchen Winkelbereich, wie Drehungen des Kurventrägers 1 gegenüber der Grundplatte 36 gewünscht sind. In der Regel ist eine Verdrehbarkeit um weniger als 180° ausreichend. Das Gewindestück 32 ist an seinem unteren, aus der Grundplatte 36 herausragenden Ende mit einer Schraube 34 an der Grundplatte 36 befestigt. Um eine reibschlüssige Festsetzung des Kurventrägers 1 gegenüber der Grundplatte 36 zu bewirken, kann das Festsetzen zum Beispiel durch einen Spannhebel 38 erfolgen, der beim Anziehen für Andruck zwischen dem Kurventräger 1 und dem Gewindestück 32 sorgt und so die reibschlüssige Festsetzung des Kurventrägers 1 gegenüber der ortsfesten Grundplatte 36 bewirkt. Die Festspannung erfolgt zwischen dem Kurventräger 1 und dem Gewindestück 32.The locking device for fixing the
Natürlich sind andere Feststelleinrichtungen zum verdrehfesten Festsetzen des Kurventrägers im Zusammenhang mit der vorliegenden Erfindung anwendbar.Of course, other locking means are applicable for the rotationally fixed setting of the cam carrier in the context of the present invention.
