Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for applying label sleeves to objects.
- a corresponding machine is known from European patent 0 584 516.
- This machine has a rotary table with at regular intervals on a 'common pitch circle plates arranged for receiving free-standing bottles. There is one over each of these plates
- Label hose reel a device for separating label sleeves and a pair of lifting and lowering spreading jaws for gripping the separated label sleeves and covering them on a bottle.
- BESTJNGS OPfE Bottles are very limited in terms of the speed of circulation and therefore also the production output. Furthermore, on the one hand the uniformity of the mounting height of the label sleeves on a large number of bottles is unsatisfactory and on the other hand the operational safety is critical, especially if the bottles are wetted on their outer wall with a liquid. This is related to the fact that a label sleeve at the moment when the frictional force between the label and the bottle is greater than between the expanding jaws and the label ends the axial relative movement to the bottle and adheres to it. The mounting height of the individual label sleeves depends on the individual friction conditions and is therefore not exactly defined. Operational safety when returning the expanding jaws to their original, upper starting position is also problematic because the bottles are still on the plates carrying them.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a method and a device with high equipment accuracy and operational reliability.
- the bottles are grasped and held on until the pair of expanding jaws, which in a known manner comes from above and holds a label sleeve, surrounds the bottle to be equipped at least over part of its longitudinal extent.
- the mounting of the bottles on their jacket surface becomes temporary relinquished and the label sleeve is pulled from the pair of expanding jaws to the desired end position on the bottle while simultaneously supporting the bottle base, the lowering movement of the pair of expanding jaws then being stopped, but the label sleeve still being frictionally held by the expanding jaws at its lower edge.
- the bottle is again grasped on a part of its jacket surface which has been covered by the drawn-on label sleeve, the label sleeve being held in place by friction or being printed against the outside of the bottle. Only then does the pair of expanding jaws release the clamping of the leading, lower label sleeve edge and is now completely lowered under the standing surface of the bottle. During this lowering movement of the pair of expanding jaws, the label sleeve can advantageously no longer change its height position on the bottle, so that the position of the label sleeve relative to the bottle base is consistently and precisely adhered to even in the case of a large number of bottles, i.e. the high tolerance of the adhesive height can be very narrow Frames are held.
- the pair of expanding jaws is designed in such a way that, when pulling over a label sleeve, it holds the lower edge of the label at the same time frictionally clamped on both the radially inner and outer surface, whereby an unnecessarily large expansion of a label sleeve to generate sufficient frictional forces can be avoided.
- the pair of expanding jaws is raised to its original upper position only after the bottles provided with a label sleeve have been removed from their lower dead position, so that advantageously no interference caused by a collision with a bottle or sticking of the expanding jaws on a label sleeve is possible .
- An embodiment in which the height movements of the pair of jaws for pulling over the label sleeve and retracting m the starting position is controlled by a curve control, but is caused by a working cylinder or other suitable drive (motor, etc.), because this causes the travel tents, in particular the return time, is particularly favorable in the starting position, because of the imminent self-locking can be kept shorter than with a pure corner control.
- the angle of rotation of the turntable required for a complete movement cycle of the clamping jaws is therefore smaller, i.e. a smaller turntable diameter is sufficient for the same performance.
- La a machine with a turntable for covering label sleeves on bottles m a simplified schematic plan view
- 1b shows a control cam assigned to the turntable for actuating gripping tongs provided on the turntable for holding bottles, and star wheels for filling and filling the bottles with a plan view

- FIG. 10 shows a modification of the machine according to F g.l with two rotary tables in a schematic plan view.
- the machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 a essentially consists of a horizontal table top 2 on which a rotary table 3 equipped with several m uniform distances on a common pitch circle 4 is rotatably mounted about a vertical axis 3 ′. Staggered in circumferential relation to one another, there is an inlet star wheel 5 with an upstream feeder 7 and a feed screw 8 and an outlet star wheel 6 with an associated feeder 9 on the turntable 3.
- Both the inlet star wheel 5 and the outlet star wheel 6 are equipped on their periphery with gripping members for grasping and holding bottles on their outer surface (Fig.lb).
- These gripping members e.g. With clamp arms that can be swiveled in opposite directions in pairs, a release position and vice versa can be controlled at various points in their orbit from an access position.
- Such starwheels are described in detail, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,607,045.
- a stationary cutting unit 10 for feeding, unfolding a film tube and cutting label sleeves E is arranged, the label film tube 11 being pulled from a tube storage 12 attached to the side of the machine and being fed to the cutting unit 10 via several deflecting rollers.
- the crossbar 13 mentioned can be adjusted in height to adapt to different label sleeve lengths, preferably by means of an electromotive adjusting device (not shown in more detail).
- the cutting unit 10 can be designed in accordance with German published patent application DE 2950785 AI.
- the turntable 3, the star wheels 5 and 6, the conveyors 7 and 9 and the feed screw 8 are driven continuously in synchronism with the speed and position in a manner not shown in detail, by individual motor drives or a common machine drive and gear elements.
- the cutting unit 10 also has drive devices for feeding the positionally accurate feed synchronously with the turntable movement
- the structure of the turntable 3 is explained in more detail below with reference to the vertical sectional views shown in FIGS. 4 and 5a.
- the base of the turntable 3 forms a horizontal support disk 30, which is attached in its center to a vertical main shaft 31 of the machine in a rotationally fixed manner and carries the bottle plates 4 (not shown in the left half of FIG. 4) on its upper side.
- Each of the bottle plates is 4 each associated with a pair of parallel guide rods 32 standing vertically on the upper side of the support disk 30, which is located radially within the imaginary pitch circle on which the bottle plates 4 are arranged.
- the upward-facing ends of the guide rods 32 pointing away from the support disk 30 carry a center-free annular disk 33 oriented parallel to the support disk 30, on which a plurality of vertically standing double-acting pneumatic cylinders 34 with associated control valves 60 are attached, each arranged centrally between a pair of guide rods 32 are.
- the vertically upward-pointing housing ends of these cylinders are connected by a second, also center-free washer 35.
- the piston rod 36 of the double-acting pneumatic cylinder 34 can be extended vertically in parallel downward between a pair of guide rods 32, with a hole positioned centrally between the guide rods 32 being provided in the first annular disk 33 for free passage of the piston rods 36 per pneumatic cylinder.
- the downward-facing end of the piston rod 36 is fastened to a carriage 37 which has two parallel bores, each of which is penetrated by a guide rod 32 and which has an upper and lower cam roller 38 and 39 on its rear side facing the main shaft 31.
- the cam rollers 38 u. 39 are each rotatably attached to pivot levers 38b and 39b (FIG. 6), which in turn are mounted on the slide 37.
- Shock absorbers 38c and 39c which have end stops, are attached to the slide in the swiveling range of these levers.
- the upper cam roller 38 rests on the control surface of an upper, cylindrically curved control cam 40, which on the circumference of a horizontal disc 42 is attached.
- This disc 42 has a tubular extension which is supported with rotary bearings at the upper end of the main shaft 31.
- On the underside of the disk 42 there are a plurality of circumferentially spaced m spaced, downwardly spaced spacer bolts 44.
- a center-free washer 43 is attached, which carries a lower control cam 41 for the lower cam rollers 39 centered attached to its periphery.
- the lower control curve 41 is held in a rotationally fixed manner by clamping pieces 45 arranged on the spacer bolts 44.
- the likewise cylindrically shaped lower cam 41 has an upwardly facing control surface on which the cam rollers 39 roll.
- both control cams 40 and 41 can be seen in detail from the development shown in FIG. 8, the running direction of the cam rollers 38, 39 starting from the O-degree marking (see also FIG. 1b) being directed from right to left in the direction of the arrow .
- the lower control curve 41 has an infinitely height-adjustable curve section 41b (see FIG. 8 ), the control surface of which determines the adhesive height of the label sleeves E on the bottles F.
- This curve piece 41b is connected to sliding bushings 48, each of which is displaceably guided on two spaced-apart spacer bolts 44, and can be raised or lowered continuously by means of a threaded spindle (not shown) (FIG. 4).
- a threaded spindle not shown
- an angular torque support 46 is fastened to the upper side of the disk 42 and is supported on a stationary column 47 arranged vertically on the table top 2 outside the turntable 3.
- the arranged on a common pitch circle of the support plate 30 bottle plate 4 are fixed in height and each surrounded by a coaxially vertically resilient centering ring 14 which has a bottle plate 4 encompassing and projecting upwards, adapted to the bottle bottom contour.
- This centering ring 14 is coupled to a vertically displaceably guided rod 15 which projects with its lower end over the underside of the supporting disc 30 and carries a cam roller 17 (FIG. 5a).
- a control cam 18 is attached to the table top 2 in a rotationally fixed manner on the orbit of the cam rollers 17, which causes the cam rollers 17 to be lowered in the circulation area from the outlet star wheel 6 to the inlet star wheel 5 against the restoring force of a coil spring 16 which acts permanently vertically upward.
- the upper edge of the centering rings 14 is held under the top of the bottle plates when the bottles F are fed in and out onto the bottle plates 4 (FIG. 2c).
- each of the bottle plates 4 is assigned two shafts 19a, 19b which are vertically aligned at a distance from one another and are arranged vertically and rotatably in the support disk 30.
- Each of these shafts carries at its upper end a gripping arm 20a or 20b, which is held horizontally and protrudes radially outwards and which together has a controllable gripping tongs 20 for gripping and holding a bottle F to be labeled on a Form bottle plate 4 (Fig. 9).
- a lever 21a provided with an elongated hole 22 and at the lower end of the shaft 19b a lever 21b equipped with a vertical bearing pin 23 is attached in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the bearing pin carries a pivotable sliding block 24 which extends through the slot and a highly offset cam roller 25 which bears against the radially outer control surface of a cam ring 26 which is held on the table top 2 in a rotationally fixed manner.
- a tension spring 27 acts on the two levers 21a, b and is permanently effective in the sense of a closing movement of the gripping pliers 20.
- the shape of the cam ring 26, which has two radially outwardly projecting cam sections, can be seen from FIG. 1b. When passing these sections, the cam roller 25 is printed outwards, the gripping arms 20a, 20b pivoting apart in opposite directions. The different positions of a gripper 20 are shown in FIG. 9.
- FIG. 7 shows the structure of an expanding jaw unit 50 for frictionally engaging and covering a label sleeve E on the body of a bottle F, for example a PET bottle. It consists of two inner jaws 51a, 51b and associated counter arms 52a, 52b. The inner jaws each have a horizontal support surface 53 for the lower edge of a label sleeve and a half-shell 54 bent vertically upwards, the curvature of which is adapted to the bottle diameter.
- the half-shell trailing in the direction of rotation of the rotary table 3 can have a lower height than the leading half-shell.
- the counter arms which are also curved, each carry two elastic rubber buffers 55 which can be placed radially from the outside against the half-shells and which can be adjusted by means of screws for evenly detecting a label sleeve.
- On a horizontal on the slide 37 quickly changeable inserted support plate 56, two vertical bearing bolts 57 for the inner jaws and two further vertical bearing bolts 58 for the counter arms are fastened, the bearing bolts 58 freely penetrating two curved elongated holes 59 in the inner jaws.
- the counter arms are coupled to their respective associated inner jaw by a swivel joint 66 in such a way that pivoting the inner jaws toward one another causes the counter arms to pivot apart and vice versa.
- a tension spring 61 pulling them towards one another acts on the inner jaws.
- a tension spring 61 pulling them towards one another acts on the inner jaws.
- a tension spring 61 pulling them towards one another acts on the inner jaws.
- a tension spring 61 pulling them towards one another acts on the inner jaws.
- a tension spring 61 pulling them towards one another acts on the inner jaws.
- a twisted control cam 68 on a shaft 62 mounted horizontally in the slide 37, the cam cam 68 being positioned vertically between the inner jaws.
- a control segment 67 having a total of three cam rollers 63, 64, 65 is attached in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the symmetrically shaped control cam can be rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise by approximately 90 degrees by cam pieces 70 arranged on the orbit, while the third one, on the opposite side of the control segment located cam roller 65 for B-retention of
- the label holding position of the expanding jaw unit 50 serves during its downward movement when being pulled onto a bottle.
- this cam roller 65 is assigned a vertical, elongated guide bar 71 which rotates with the turntable 3 and on which it rolls along during the lowering.
- the counter arms can be rigidly attached to the diametrically opposite inner jaw with one end, as shown in FIG. 1b, in each case.
- the process sequence during the passage of a bottle through the machine is essentially explained with reference to FIG.
- a bottle F arriving on the feeder 7 is grasped by the feed screw 8, the intake star wheel 5 is inserted in the correct position m, gripped by its controlled clamps and positioned in the common contact point I on a bottle plate 4 of the turntable 3, the centering ring 14 simultaneously sliding upwards and the associated gripper 20 is closed. The corresponding clamp on the infeed star wheel immediately releases the bottle.
- an expanding jaw unit 50 assigned to the bottle approaches the cutting unit 10 by an upward movement, the half-shells 54 and the rubber buffers 55 being spaced apart from one another at this moment.
- the label tube 11 is pushed down from above and a label sleeve E is cut off, which then stands with its lower edge on the support surface 53 of the inner jaws 51a, 51b, ie the half-shells are inside and the rubber buffers are outside the label sleeve.
- the shaft 62 is rotated with its control cam 68 in such a way that the half-shells 54 pivot apart and at the same time pivot the rubber buffers 55 inwards in opposite directions until the label sleeve is clamped in at the bottom edge on the outside and inside by friction. In the case of a stretch sleeve, this is widened to a dimension that exceeds the bottle diameter.
- the label sleeve When driving through the sector II (FIG. 1 a), the label sleeve is pulled from the top to the bottom of the expanding jaw unit 50, which is printed downwards by the pneumatic cylinder 34, over a bottle F. As soon as the expanding jaw unit approaches the gripping tongs 20 holding the bottle during this lowering movement, it is briefly opened to such an extent that the expanding jaws can pass the gripping tongs (second half in sector II). The gripping tongs 20 can then be closed again to such an extent that the bottle is guided circumferentially, but a sufficient gap remains for the label sleeve to be pulled through further.
- the expanding jaw unit 50 is now lowered again until the half-shells are completely under the bottle plate 4 (Fig. 2c).
- pre-shrinking hot air, etc.
- the centering ring 14 is now lowered and the gripping tongs 20 opened when the outlet star wheel 6 has gripped the bottle for transfer to the discharge conveyor 9.
- the pneumatic cylinder 34 is then reversed to raise so that the expanding jaw unit 50 again reaches its original upper position before passing the star wheel 5 (sector IV).
- the bottles are transported through the machine without changes in altitude.
- FIGS. 1 a and 1 b shows a machine variant for high outputs, which is formed by a mirror-image arrangement of two individual machines in accordance with FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, that is, this double machine has two infeed star wheels 5 and 5, two carousels or rotary tables 3 and 3, and two outfeed star wheels 6 and 6 ⁇ but only a common feeder 7, a discharge conveyor 9 and a one-part worm 8.
- the opposite star wheels 5, 5 ⁇ and 6, 6 ⁇ which can be driven in opposite directions, each touch the pitch circle of their counterpart and are circumferential with controllable brackets - Equipped as shown in Figure lb-, which are selectively reversible from an access position for grasping a bottle in a release position and vice versa by switching cams, not shown, which are stationary at certain points in their orbit.
