Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a labeling machine and a method for operating a labeling machine with at least one labeling.
  • labeling technology self-adhesive labels are increasingly used for labeling objects, such as bottles, cans or similar containers. Labeling with self-adhesive labels is usually more expensive than labeling with other methods, such. As the Rund um Labeling with label strips from the roll or from a label magazine, but enjoys this variant by the high quality and the great design possibilities ever greater popularity.
  • the device has two groove rolls driven by at least one drive motor.
  • the groove rollers are arranged in such a way to each other that they touch part of the circumference and thus pinch the guided past the contact surface carrier tape and non-positively in a Bandleit noise, which is designed as a holder for a Etikettenleerband arrived transport.
  • the label storage tape can be formed from a bag, a large basket or a large box in which the carrier tape is stored. The problem, however, is that these embodiments of the label tape storage can not save the volume to be stored carrier tape.
  • the international patent application discloses WO 2007/124821 A1 and the European patent application EP 1 672 684 A1 in each case a device for storing a carrier tape emptied of labels, wherein an emptied carrier tape to be stored can be wound on a winding mandrel.
  • the CA 2 662 276 discloses a labeling machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a labeling machine which enables a continuous labeling operation and a volume-efficient carrier tape storage.
  • the device for storing a carrier tape emptied of labels comprises a continuously drivable discharge device for the emptied carrier tape.
  • a withdrawal device is for example already in the international patent application WO 2007/107267 A1 disclosed, so that a fed emptied carrier tape can be transported via two grooved rollers, which are driven by at least one drive motor, slip-free.
  • downstream and upstream and similar terms always refer to a direction of the label-emptied carrier tape along the transport path within the apparatus for storing a carrier tape emptied of labels.
  • the take-off device is arranged downstream of a drivable winding mandrel, on which the empty carrier tape can be wound up and from which the wound-up empty carrier tape can be removed.
  • the emptied carrier tape is then removed from the mandrel when a certain amount of empty carrier tape is rolled onto the mandrel.
  • the level of emptied carrier tape on the mandrel can be monitored for example by a suitable sensor device.
  • a predefined threshold (maximum level) is reached, then an acoustic or optical signal is output, which indicates to an operator that the carrier tape from the mandrel must be removed.
  • the term "winding mandrel" in this context all types of thorns such as steel rods, steel pipes, etc. understood that allow winding of the emptied of labels carrier tape.
  • the winding mandrel is preferably drivable indirectly via a drive motor in which, for example, a toothed belt connects a toothed belt wheel of a drive motor to the winding mandrel.
  • the mandrel is directly driven, such as by a drive motor mounted in the winding mandrel.
  • the decrease of the wound emptied carrier tape from the winding mandrel takes place, for example, via a guide disk assigned to the winding mandrel.
  • the guide disc which is secured by means of a clamping screw against accidental loosening during operation of the device is provided in particular for the fact that an operator of such a device can not (or) in or on the driven during operation winding mandrel (grab). That is, first the tensioning screw must be loosened and then the guide disc pulled down by the winding mandrel in order subsequently to be able to remove the emptied carrier tape wound onto a bearing surface around the winding mandrel of the device.
  • a deflecting unit regulating the speed of the winding mandrel is arranged for the empty carrier tape.
  • the deflection unit and the mandrel are arranged on a common base element, to which preferably also the elements described below are (releasably) attached or stored or assigned.
  • the base element of the device may further be associated with a main switch so that the drivable winding mandrel can be switched on and off at any time. This is particularly advantageous when the device must be quickly turned off in case of danger to avoid injury to an operator by moving parts of the device.
  • the deflection unit is preferably designed such that it has at least two deflection rollers, between which a third deflection roller is arranged.
  • a guide along the transport path of the emptied carrier tape is designed to be displaceable for the third deflection roller in the base element.
  • the speed of the winding mandrel can be controlled along the guide.
  • the third deflection roller can be actuated by the operator in the new threading of empty carrier tape on the mandrel such that the rotational speed of the winding mandrel is increased in the meantime, so that during the changeover time of the trigger device further deducted and emptied carrier tape in the shortest possible time on the Winding mandrel passes.
  • a control knob is formed on the third deflection roller.
  • the control knob is designed so that, when actuated, it determines an optimum position of the third deflection roller with respect to the empty carrier tape supplied to the third deflection roller and with respect to the driven winding spindle along the guide. About the determined position of the third deflection roller and the Aufrollilia as well as the tightness of the wound mandrel to be wound on the emptied carrier tape, that is the winding severity, adjustable. If the position of the third deflection roller is determined, the third deflection roller engages in the guide formed in the base element.
  • the labeling machine comprises at least one labeling unit, to each of which a device for storing a carrier tape emptied of labels according to one of the previously described embodiments or according to a combination of the previously described embodiments is assigned.
  • the base element of the device is attached to a labeling unit via a carrier having at least one holder element.
  • the labeling machine has a stand unit provided for the base element on, so that no direct attachment of the respective labeling is provided with the device.
  • the base element then has at least one carrying handle, which allows the base element to be placed in a positionally variable manner as a function of the stand unit.
  • the listed embodiments all have one common advantage, which lies in the fact that the device can be arranged outside a security area of the labeling machine. Thus, the risk of injury to an operator is reduced by a running labeling machine.
  • the device does not have to be provided with safety switches, which also switch off the labeling machine when changing the empty carrier tape. Thus, the labeling allows a continuous labeling operation even when changing the empty carrier tape.
  • the method according to the invention for operation enables a slip-free stripping and feeding a depleted from labels carrier tape to a winding mandrel.
  • the empty carrier tape is wound up.
  • the level of the wound on the mandrel unwound carrier tape is continuously measured. The measurement takes place, for example, via a sensor device, for example a light barrier device, which detects when a maximum fill level has been reached.
  • the emptied carrier tape wound onto the mandrel is first severed and then removed. Both when cutting and when removing the wound emptied carrier tape while the emptied carrier tape continues to be pulled without slippage.
  • the trailing severed emptied carrier tape is wound onto the mandrel. In this process step, the emptied carrier tape continues to be withdrawn without slippage.
