Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Etikettenmagazin zur Aufnahme eines Etikettenstapels, der mit einem Schieber in Richtung eines Hauptmagazins bewegt wird, wobei der Schieber an einem Verschiebewagen angeordnet und aus der Schiebestellung um eine lotrechte Achse aus dem Etikettenstapel herausschwenkbar gelagert und der Verschiebewagen von einem motorgetriebenen Seilzuggetriebe bewegbar ist.The invention relates to a label magazine for receiving a stack of labels, which is moved with a slider in the direction of a main magazine, whereby the slide is arranged on a sliding carriage and out of the sliding position mounted to swivel out of the stack of labels about a vertical axis and the transfer carriage can be moved by a motor-driven cable drive is.

Bei einem derartigen Etikettenmagazin ist es bereits bekannt, einen Etikettenschieber vorzusehen, bei dem jede der beiden verschwenkbaren Schieberflächen gabelartig ausgebildet ist und diese etwa bis zur Etikettenmitte in die Bewegungsbahn der Etiketten hineinragen (Prospekt Anker Roland 8/2F, 1979). Der Schwenkbereich der Stützorgane ist aus diesem Grunde relativ groß, woedurch sich beim automatischen Wegklappen während des Zurückziehens des Etikettenschiebers entlang eines neueingesetzten Etikettenstapels eine entsprechende Verformung sowohl des im Etikettenmagazin vorhandenen Reststapels als auch des neuen Etikettenstapels ergibt. Dabei werden häufig relative Verschiebungen der Etiketten ausgelöst, die zwangsläufig zu Störungen bei der Etikettenentnahme am vorderen Ende des Hauptmagazins führen.In such a label magazine, it is already known to have a label pusher to provide, in which each of the two pivotable slide surfaces fork-like is formed and this approximately to the middle of the label in the path of movement Stick labels in (brochure Anker Roland 8 / 2F, 1979). The swivel range of the For this reason, support organs are relatively large, which makes them more automatic Fold away while retracting the label pusher along a new one Label stack a corresponding deformation of both in the label magazine existing residual stack as well as the new label stack. This often triggers relative displacements of the labels, which inevitably problems with label removal at the front end of the main magazine to lead.

DE 2 9705248 U zeigt ein Etiketten magazin, welches mittels eines Seil zuges vor und zurückbewegt wird und dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 entspricht.DE 2 9705248 U shows a label magazine which is moved back and forth by means of a rope and the generic term of claim 1 corresponds.

Ferner ist aus der DE-C2-3534664 ein Etikettenbehälter für Etikettiermaschinen bekannt geworden, wobei der Etikettenschieber eine parallel zur Vorschubrichtung bewegbare Brücke aufweist, auf der beiderseits der Bewegungsbahn mit zur Vorschubrichtung im wesentlichen rechtwinkliger Drehachse jeweils ein Stützorgan schwenkbar gelagert ist, dessen Vorschubposition, in der es über die Führungsrinne hinweg in die Bewegungsbahn der Etiketten hineinragt, durch einen Anschlag und ein elastisches Mittel derart festgelegt ist, daß es bei einer Bewegung der Brücke entgegen der Vorschubrichtung unter Mitwirkung der nachfolgenden Etiketten selbsttätig, also ohne Zwangsführung, aus deren Bewegungsbahn herausklappt. Dabei ist jedes Stützorgan in dem Bereich, mit dem es in die Bewegungsbahn der Etiketten hineinragt, im wesentlichen plattenförmig ausgebildet und weist eine ebene oder nur leicht gewölbte Stützfläche für die Etiketten auf, die den größten Teil der Länge der seitlichen Etikettenkante abdeckt. Als wesentlich wird hierbei vorgesehen, daß jedes Stützorgan in der Vorschubposition um ca. 10 mm in die Bewegungsbahn der Etiketten hineinragt. Im praktischen Betrieb, insbesondere bei der Verwendung von großen bzw. breiten Etiketten, hat sich gezeigt, daß diese relativ schmale Abstütz- und Berührungsfläche kritisch ist und zu einer Aufwölbung des Etikettenstapels führen kann.Furthermore, a label container for labeling machines is known from DE-C2-3534664 become, the label pusher being movable parallel to the feed direction Has bridge, on both sides of the movement path with the feed direction essentially a right-angled axis of rotation, one support member each is pivotally mounted, its feed position, in which it is on the guide trough protrudes into the path of movement of the labels through a stop and an elastic means is set so that when the bridge is moved against the feed direction with the participation of the following labels automatically, i.e. without forced guidance, folds out of their path of movement. there is each support element in the area with which it is in the path of movement of the labels protrudes, is essentially plate-shaped and has a plane or just slightly arched support surface for the labels that cover most of the Length of the side label edge. It is essential that that each support member in the feed position by about 10 mm in the path of movement the label protrudes. In practical operation, especially when used of large or wide labels, has been shown to be relatively narrow Support and contact area is critical and bulging of the label stack can lead.

Als Antrieb für den Schieber kann ein Federgehäuse oder ein motorbetriebener Direktantrieb vorgesehen sein, der mit Zugseilen mit dem Schieber verbunden ist. Insbesondere bei motorbetriebenen Zugeinrichtungen zum Anpressen des Schiebers können sich unterschiedliche Anpreßkräfte ergeben, die dann eine einwandfreie Etikettenentnahme vermindern.A spring housing or a motor-driven direct drive can be used to drive the slide be provided, which is connected to the slide with pull ropes. In particular in motor-operated pulling devices for pressing the slide can result in different contact forces, which then ensure that the label is removed correctly Reduce.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ausgehend von diesen bekannten Lösungen eine Ausbildung zu finden, mit der eine einwandfreie Aufrechterhaltung des Anpreßdruckes eines solchen Schiebers gewährleistet ist.The object of the invention is based on these known solutions to find training with which the contact pressure can be maintained properly of such a slide is guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung bei einem Etikettenmagazin der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen dem Seilzuggetriebe und dem dieses antreibenden Motor ein unter Federvorspannung gehaltenes Spanngetriebe geschaltet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in a label magazine mentioned type in that between the cable gear and this driving motor switched a spring gear held under tension is.

Dabei hat es sich in selbständiger Ausgestaltung als zweckmäßig erwiesen, daß das Spanngetriebe unter Zwischenschaltung einer Spiralfeder gebildet ist, die einerseits mit der Antriebswelle des Motors und andererseits mit dem den Seilzug aufnehmenden Gehäuse verbunden ist.It has proven to be useful in an independent design that Tension gear with the interposition of a coil spring is formed on the one hand with the drive shaft of the motor and on the other hand with the receiving cable Housing is connected.

Durch nicht weiter dargestellte Tasteinrichtungen wird der jeweilige Füllungszustand des Wechselmagazins ermittelt. Sobald dieses entleert ist, wird durch Ansteuerung des Stellzylinders 12 das Wechselmagazin 3 in die ursprüngliche Ausgangsposition zurückverfahren, so daß durch Querverschieben der Tischebene 2 das aufgefüllte und bereitstehende weitere Wechselmagazin 3' in seine Position verfährt und mit dem Hauptmagazin 5 in vorbeschriebener Weise verbunden wird. Hiernach kann eine erneute Auffüllung des entleerten Wechselmagazins 3 durch die Bedienungsperson vorgenommen werden, welches dann für den nächsten Wechselvorgang als gefülltes Magazin wieder zur Verfügung steht und in umgekehrter Richtung an das Hauptmagazin 5 herangefahren werden kann.A top view of a changeable magazine device 1 with a label magazine is shown. This consists of a support plate as the actual table level 2 for receiving of different change magazines 3. The table level 2 is perpendicular to Transfer direction of the labels 4 from the main magazine 5 can be moved to this arranged, two change magazines 3, 3 'being provided in the exemplary embodiment are that can be reciprocated reciprocally. The table level 2 has a receptacle 6, which is designed, for example, as an elongated hole in which Centering pins 7 of the change magazines 3, 3 'can be inserted. On the main magazine 5 opposite end 8 of the change magazines 3, 3 'are centering slots 9 arranged in the transverse displacement of a filled change magazine 3, 3 'are movable against a slide part 10, the slide part one Has web 11 which engages in the centering slots 9. Instead of that in the embodiment Centering slot training shown can of course also be different trained coupling parts can be provided, the coupling of the change magazine 3, 3 'on the slide part 10. With the slide part 10 is an actuating cylinder 12 connected to the after exact positioning of the change magazine 3 the main magazine 5 a feed movement of the change magazine 3 in Direction of the main magazine 5 triggers. Here, recesses 13 of the Exchange magazine 3, 3 'against support fingers 14 of the main magazine 5 and thus form a closed sliding plane for those against the still in the main magazine 5 remaining labels to be moved from the Change magazine 3, 3 '. Here, the slot centering arranged on the table level 2 is used for exact adherence to the respective position of the feed movement change magazine located 3, 3 '. This will be up to a short distance move against the main magazine 5, so that a possible back and forth movement of the main magazine 5, for example when bottles are missing on the Stand plates of the labeling machine, which is designed as a rotary machine, were carried out without any problems can be. The slot centering on the table level can do this be designed so that it is a stroke limitation for the travel of the change magazine 3, 3 'is used. But it is also conceivable to provide other end stops, one Ensure exact spacing between the main and change magazine 5, 3, 3 '. The respective filling state is determined by pushbuttons (not shown) of the change magazine determined. As soon as this is emptied, it is activated of the actuating cylinder 12, the interchangeable magazine 3 in the original starting position move back so that by shifting the table level 2 the filled and ready-to-use other changeable magazine 3 'moves into its position and is connected to the main magazine 5 in the manner described above. hereafter can the refill of the empty change magazine 3 by the operator be made, which is then for the next change process is available again as a filled magazine and in the opposite direction can be moved to the main magazine 5.

Die Etiketten 4 selbst werden aus dem Wechselmagazin 3, 3' in Richtung Hauptmagazin 5 durch hinter diese anlegbare Schieber 13 unter Aufrechterhaltung eines bestimmten Anpreßdruckes entsprechend der Entnahmeleistung nachgeführt. Zu diesem Zwecke ist ein Verschiebewagen 14 vorgesehen, an dem beidseitig Winkelhebel 15, 16 um eine lotrechte Lagerachse 17 verschwenkbar sind. An dem seitlich zum Wechselmagazin 3 weisenden Helbelarm 18 ist jeder Schieber 13 zusätzlich schwankbar gelagert. Der mit 14 bezeichnete Verschiebewagen gemäß Fig. 1 befindet sich in der Arbeitsposition, d. h., die Schieber 13 liegen an dem hinteren Ende eines Etikettenstapels an und üben über das Zugseil 19 einen ständigen gleichbleibenden Druck aus. Sobald nun das Wechselmagazin 3 entleert ist, wird dieses durch das in Warteposition befindliche gefüllte Wechselmagazin 3' ersetzt und gegen den im Hauptmagazin befindlichen Etikettenreststapel verfahren. Im Anschluß daran wird das Zugseil 19 in entgegengesetzter Richtung beaufschlagt, wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich. Dieses ist an dem zum Magazin weisenden Hebelarm 20 der Winkelhebel 15, 16 befestigt und zieht diese zunächst bis zu einem Anschlagpunkt, der beispielsweise durch eine Langlochführung 21 bestimmt ist. Mit Erreichen dieses Anschlagpunktes sind auch die Schieber 13 automatisch an dem Etikettenstapel ausgeschwenkt, wobei der weiter erforderliche Etikettenvorschub durch den am Wechselmagazin angreifenden Stellzylinder 12 erfolgt. Gleichzeitig wird mit Erreichen des Anschlagpunktes die Zugkraft des Zugseiles auch auf den Verschiebewagen 14 übertragen und dieser in seine Anfangsposition in Richtung des Stellzylinders 12 bewegt. In dieser Position wird das Zugseil 19 wieder entgegengesetzt beaufschlagt, wobei zunächst die Winkelhebel 15, 16 verschwenken und dabei die Schieber 13 in den Bereich des hinteren Etikettenstapels bewegen, die sich bei der dann folgenden Vorschubbewegung des Verschiebewagens 14 gegen das Stapelende 22 anlegen.The labels 4 themselves become the change magazine 3, 3 'in the direction of the main magazine 5 through behind this slide 13 while maintaining a certain Contact pressure adjusted according to the removal rate. To this For the purpose, a transfer carriage 14 is provided on the angle lever on both sides 15, 16 are pivotable about a vertical bearing axis 17. On the side to Interchangeable magazine 3 pointing lever arm 18, each slide 13 is additional floating. The sliding carriage designated by 14 according to FIG. 1 is located in the working position, d. that is, the slides 13 are at the rear end of a stack of labels and practice a constant over the pull rope 19 Print out. As soon as the exchangeable magazine 3 is emptied, this is done by the filled change magazine 3 'in the waiting position is replaced and against the Move the remaining batch of labels in the main magazine. Following that the pull rope 19 is acted on in the opposite direction, as can be seen from FIG. This is the angle lever 15, 16 on the lever arm 20 facing the magazine fastens and pulls this up to an anchor point, for example is determined by an elongated hole guide 21. When this anchor point is reached are also the slider 13 automatically swung out on the label stack, wherein the further required label feed by the one acting on the change magazine Setting cylinder 12 takes place. At the same time, when the anchor point is reached the tensile force of the traction cable is also transmitted to the transfer carriage 14 and this moves into its starting position in the direction of the actuating cylinder 12. In this Position, the pull rope 19 is again acted upon in the opposite direction, initially the angle levers 15, 16 pivot and the slider 13 in the area of the rear stack of labels, which move during the subsequent feed movement of the transfer carriage 14 against the stack end 22.

Die Zugkraft des Zugseils 19 wird von einem Motor 23 erzeugt. Zur verfeinerten Abstimmung des von dem Motor 23 aufrechterhaltenen Drehmoments ist zwischen dem Motor 23 und dem Zugseil 19 ein kraftbeaufschlagtes Spannelement 24 angeordnet. Dieses kann als vorspannbares Kraftspeicherelement ausgebildet sein, wobei die ausgangsseitige Spannkraft, die am Zugseil 19 angreift, einstellbar und veränderbar ist.
