Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Etikettierer mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a labeler having the features of claim 1.
Aus der
Die bekannten Stiftschieberplatten haben einen integralen Aufbau. Dafür wird eine Grundplatte mit einem einteiligen Plattendesign eingesetzt, an welcher mehrere gefedert gelagerte Andrückstifte befestigt sind. Zur Aufnahme der Vielzahl von Andrückstiften enthält die Grundplatte eine entsprechende Vielzahl von daran ausgebildeten Aufnahmeöffnungen. Diese lassen sich nur mit großem Herstellungsaufwand in der Grundplatte ausbilden. Außerdem kommen dafür nur bestimmte Materialen zur Herstellung der Grundplatte in Frage.The known pin valve plates have an integral structure. For this purpose, a base plate with a one-piece plate design is used, to which a plurality of sprung mounted Andrückstifte are attached. To accommodate the plurality of Andrückstiften the base plate includes a corresponding plurality of receiving openings formed thereon. These can be formed only with great manufacturing effort in the base plate. In addition, only certain materials for the preparation of the base plate in question come into question.
Nachteilig an den bekannten Stiftschieberplatten ist auch, dass sich deren Zusammenbau, insbesondere die Montage der Andrückstifte, welche aus mehreren einzelnen Kleinteilen bestehen, als äußerst schwierig und zeitintensiv erwiesen hat. Hinzu kommt, dass die einteilig hergestellten Grundplatten ziemlich viel Lagerplatz in Anspruch nehmen. Außerdem wurden bisher unterschiedlich große Grundplatten hergestellt, wodurch eine große Variantenvielfalt mit zunehmendem Lageraufwand entstand. Da die für die Grundplatte geeigneten Herstellungsmaterialien eher kostenintensiv sind, sind die Herstellungskosten der Grundplatten stark von deren Größe abhängig.A disadvantage of the known Stiftschieberplatten is that their assembly, in particular the assembly of Andrückstifte, which consist of several individual small parts, has proven to be extremely difficult and time-consuming. In addition, the one-piece base plates take up a lot of storage space. In addition, different sized base plates were previously produced, creating a large variety of variants with increasing storage costs. Since the manufacturing materials suitable for the base plate are rather expensive, the manufacturing costs of the base plates are highly dependent on their size.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Etikettierer gemäß der oben beschriebenen Art hinsichtlich der mit dem Stand der Technik verbundenen Nachteile zu verbessern.The object of the invention is to improve a labeler according to the type described above with respect to the disadvantages associated with the prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst mit einem Etikettierer gemäß dem Anspruch 1. Verbesserte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved with a labeler according to claim 1. Improved developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Der erfindungsgemäße Etikettierer umfasst einen Etikettenspender und eine Übertragungseinrichtung zur Übertragung einer Reihe von an die Übertragungseinrichtung abgespendeten Etiketten auf eine Artikelbahn. Die Übertragungseinrichtung umfasst mindestens eine daran höhenverstellbar gelagerte Schieberbaugruppe zum Andrücken der Etiketten auf die Artikelbahn, wobei die Schieberbaugruppe eine Grundplatte und eine Vielzahl von Andrückelementen aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß umfasst die Schieberbaugruppe weiter mindestens ein mit der Grundplatte zusammengebautes Kassettenmodul, woran jeweils eines oder mehrere der Andrückelemente angeordnet sind.The labeler according to the invention comprises a label dispenser and a transfer device for transferring a series of labels dispensed to the transfer device onto an article web. The transmission device comprises at least one slider assembly mounted thereon in height-adjustable manner for pressing the labels onto the article web, wherein the slider assembly has a base plate and a multiplicity of pressing elements. According to the invention, the slide assembly further comprises at least one cassette module assembled with the base plate, on each of which one or more of the pressure elements are arranged.
Bei der Erfindung hat die Schieberbaugruppe einen modularen Aufbau, wobei die jeweiligen Andrückelemente mittels des zu deren Aufnahme ausgebildeten Kassettenmoduls an der Grundplatte der Schieberbaugruppe befestigt sind. Folglich lässt sich die Grundplatte viel einfacher herstellen, weil die jeweiligen Andrückelemente nicht mehr direkt an ihr, sondern an dem oder den Kassettenmodulen angeordnet sind. Das Kassettenmodul als solches kann hinsichtlich seiner Befestigung an der Grundplatte sowie hinsichtlich der Aufnahme der jeweiligen Andrückelemente einfach und kostengünstig hergestellt werden, wodurch zusätzliches Einsparungspotential für den Herstellungsprozess entsteht.In the invention, the slider assembly has a modular construction, wherein the respective pressing elements are secured by means of the cassette module formed for receiving them to the base plate of the slider assembly. Consequently, the base plate can be much easier to produce, because the respective pressing elements are no longer arranged directly on her, but on the one or more cassette modules. The cassette module as such can be easily and inexpensively manufactured in terms of its attachment to the base plate and in terms of receiving the respective pressing elements, whereby additional savings potential for the manufacturing process.
Bei der Erfindung bildet das Kassettenmodul eine Trägereinheit für ein oder mehrere Andrückelemente. Demzufolge ist das Grundplattendesign unabhängig von der Ausbildung der Andrückelemente, wodurch die Grundplatte als Basisbauteil kostenoptimiert herstellbar ist und dessen Ausbildung als Standard für mehrere Anwendungsfälle in Frage kommt. Dadurch lassen sich sowohl die reinen Herstellungskosten der Grundplatte als auch die damit verbundenen Lagerkosten reduzieren.In the invention, the cassette module forms a carrier unit for one or more pressing elements. Consequently, the base plate design is independent of the formation of the pressing elements, whereby the base plate can be produced cost-optimized as a base component and its training comes as a standard for several applications in question. As a result, both the pure manufacturing costs of the base plate and the associated storage costs can be reduced.
Insgesamt bietet der modulare Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Schieberbaugruppe gegenüber dem bekannten integralen Aufbau erhebliche Vorteile beim Montage- und Herstellungsprozess. Insbesondere brauchen die Andrückstifte nicht mehr einzeln an der Grundplatte montiert zu werden. Vielmehr können mittels des Kassettenmoduls gleich mehrere Andrückstifte, welche vorzugsweise bereits am Kassettenmodul vormontiert sind, an der Grundplatte durch wenige Handgriffe oder automatisiert befestigt werden.Overall, the modular design of the slide assembly according to the invention over the known integral structure offers significant advantages in the assembly and manufacturing process. In particular, the pressure pins no longer need to be individually mounted to the base plate. Rather, by means of the cassette module a plurality of pressure pins, which are preferably already pre-assembled on the cassette module, are attached to the base plate by a few simple steps or automated.
Des Weiteren ist die modulare Schieberbaugruppe besser für Service- und Reinigungszwecke geeignet. Vor diesem Hintergrund können insbesondere für die jeweiligen Module unterschiedliche, bestens für die Herstellung und den Zweck geeignete sowie höchsten hygienischen Standards entsprechende Materialien zum Einsatz kommen.Furthermore, the modular slider assembly is better suited for service and cleaning purposes. Against this background, it is possible, in particular for the respective modules, to use different materials that are best suited for production and purpose and that meet the highest hygienic standards.
Vorzugsweise sind die Grundplatte und das Kassettenmodul entlang einer Modulebene zusammengebaut. Im zusammengebauten Zustand liegen die Grundplatte und das oder die daran befestigten Kassettenmodule in Form einer modularen Schieberplatte vor. Zwischen der Grundplatte und dem Kassettenmodul ist vorzugsweise eine definierte Schnittstelle ausgebildet, die in Form- und/oder Kraftpassung die Grundplatte und das Kassettenmodul im Verbund zueinander anordnet. Vorteilhaft daran ist, dass die definierte Schnittstelle zwischen der Grundplatte und dem Kassettenmodul konstruktiv einfach, hervorragend für einen unkomplizierten und gegebenenfalls automatisierten Modulzusammenbau, beispielsweise in Form lediglich geradlinig aneinander anliegend ausgebildeter Kanten, ausgebildet sein kann.Preferably, the base plate and the cassette module are assembled along a module plane. In the assembled state, the base plate and the cassette modules mounted thereon are in the form of a modular slide plate. Between the base plate and the cassette module preferably a defined interface is formed, which arranges the base plate and the cassette module in a composite with each other in a form and / or force fit. The advantage of this is that the defined interface between the base plate and the cassette module constructively simple, excellent for uncomplicated and possibly automated module assembly, for example in the form of only rectilinear adjacent to each other formed edges, may be formed.
Zweckdienlich ist es, wenn das Andrückelement mittels einer Feder in eine ausgerückte erste Position am Kassettenmodul vorgespannt ist. Die gefederte Lagerung des Andrückelements sorgt dafür, dass dieses während eines Andrückvorgangs zum Aufbringen der Etiketten aus der ersten Position heraus in eine zweite, eingerückte Position am Kassettenmodul eingeschoben werden kann, sodass eine maximal zulässige Andrückkraft zum Aufbringen der Etiketten auf die Folienbahn nicht überschritten wird.It is expedient if the pressing element is biased by a spring in a disengaged first position on the cassette module. The sprung mounting of the pressure element ensures that this can be inserted during a pressing operation for applying the labels from the first position out in a second, indented position on the cassette module, so that a maximum allowable contact pressure for applying the labels is not exceeded on the film web.
Gemäß einer Variante ist das Kassettenmodul lösbar mit der Grundplatte verbunden. Bei dieser Ausführungsform kann das Kassettenmodul insbesondere für einen Reinigungsvorgang, beispielsweise werkzeuglos/manuell oder mittels Werkzeugeinsatz, von der Grundplatte abmontiert werden. Diese Variante ist insbesondere auch dann interessant, wenn vorgesehen ist, dass beim Erreichen einer vorbestimmten Anzahl von Betriebsstunden das oder die Kassettenmodule ausgetauscht werden sollen, sozusagen eine Erneuerung der Schieberbaugruppe erwünscht ist.According to a variant, the cassette module is detachably connected to the base plate. In this embodiment, the cassette module can be removed from the base plate in particular for a cleaning operation, for example without tools / manually or by means of a tool insert. This variant is particularly interesting, if it is provided that when you reach a predetermined number of operating hours or the cassette modules to be replaced, so to speak, a renewal of the slide assembly is desired.
Vorzugsweise ist das Kassettenmodul an der Grundplatte mittels eines Koppelglieds befestigt. Das Koppelglied ist primär dazu ausgebildet, die Grundplatte und das Kassettenmodul entlang der definierten Schnittstelle aneinander zu halten. Vorzugsweise ist das Koppelglied aus demselben Material hergestellt wie das Kassettenmodul. Das Koppelglied kann aus einem Paar Verbinderlaschen bestehen, die an ihren jeweiligen Enden miteinander verbunden werden können. Vorzugsweise sind die Verbinderlaschen derart ausgebildet und miteinander verknüpft, dass sie zumindest abschnittsweise auf gegenüberliegenden Außenseiten der Grundplatte befestigbar sind, um das Kassettenmodul mit der Grundplatte zu verbinden.Preferably, the cassette module is attached to the base plate by means of a coupling member. The coupling member is primarily adapted to hold the base plate and the cassette module together along the defined interface. Preferably, the coupling member is made of the same material as the cassette module. The coupling member may consist of a pair of connector tabs which can be connected together at their respective ends. Preferably, the connector tabs are formed and interconnected linked, that they at least in sections on opposite outer sides of the base plate are fastened to connect the cassette module with the base plate.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Koppelglied derart dimensioniert, dass es zur Führung der Schieberbaugruppe entlang einer Führungsebene einsetzbar ist. Dabei kann das Koppelglied über seine eigentliche Verbinderfunktion hinaus auch als Führungskomponente zum Einsatz kommen. Das Koppelglied kann damit eine Doppelfunktion leisten, indem es sowohl zum Befestigen des Kassettenmoduls an der Grundplatte als auch als Führungsmittel für die Schieberbaugruppe einsetzbar ist.According to an advantageous embodiment, the coupling member is dimensioned such that it can be used to guide the slide assembly along a guide plane. In this case, the coupling member beyond its actual connector function also come as a guiding component used. The coupling member can thus perform a dual function in that it can be used both for fastening the cartridge module to the base plate and as a guide means for the slider assembly.
Zweckgemäß für die Führungsfunktion wäre es, wenn ein durch das Koppelglied ausgebildeter Oberflächenabschnitt zumindest teilweise mit einer durch das Kassettenmodul ausgebildeten Oberfläche komplanar ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ließe sich in Führungsebene gesehen eine effektiv nutzbare Führungsfläche für die Schieberbaugruppe weiter vergrößern, wodurch eine besonders stabile und positionsgenaue, insbesondere für einen Dauerbetrieb geeignete Führung herstellbar ist.It would be useful for the guiding function if a surface section formed by the coupling element is at least partially designed to be coplanar with a surface formed by the cassette module. As a result, an effectively usable guide surface for the slide assembly could be further increased seen in management, whereby a particularly stable and positionally accurate, in particular suitable for continuous operation guide can be produced.
Alternativ zu einer ohne zusätzlichen Werkzeugeinsatz manuell lösbar hergestellten Kopplung des Kassettenmoduls an der Grundplatte könnte der Zusammenbau auch derart fest ausgebildet sein, dass das Kassettenmodul nur mittels speziell dafür vorgesehenen Werkzeugs, gegebenenfalls maschinell, von der Grundplatte abbaubar ist. Dadurch können sich Vorteile hinsichtlich eines stabilen Zusammenbaus der Schieberbaugruppe ergeben.As an alternative to a coupling of the cassette module to the base plate which can be released manually without additional use of tools, the assembly could also be designed so firmly that the cassette module can only be dismantled from the base plate by means of a tool provided for this purpose, if appropriate by machine. This can provide advantages in terms of a stable assembly of the slide assembly.
Für einen Reinigungsvorgang könnte gemäß einer Variante die gesamte Schieberbaugruppe aus der Übertragungseinrichtung heraus genommen und einem Tauchbad zugeführt werden. Der Ausbau der Schieberbaugruppe, deren Reinigung im Tauchbad sowie der Wiedereinbau der Schieberbaugruppe können dabei in einem engen zeitlichen Rahmen ablaufen.For a cleaning process, according to a variant, the entire slide assembly could be removed from the transfer device and fed to a dipping bath. The removal of the slide assembly, its cleaning in the dipping bath and the replacement of the slide assembly can take place within a tight time frame.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass das Kassettenmodul mindestens eine erste Aufnahme umfasst, worin das Koppelglied derart befestigt ist, dass zumindest abschnittsweise eine Außenseite des Koppelglieds zusammen mit einer Außenseite des Kassettenmoduls innerhalb der Führungsebene liegen, d.h. ohne Überstand ineinander übergehen. Dadurch kann das Koppelglied besonders platzsparend und unscheinbar am Kassettenmodul integriert befestigt werden. Ferner entsteht eine vergrößerte Führungsfläche für die Schieberbaugruppe und es ergeben sich insbesondere auch weniger Stellen für potentiellen Niederschlag von Verunreinigungen.An advantageous embodiment provides that the cassette module comprises at least one first receptacle, wherein the coupling member is fixed such that at least partially an outer side of the coupling member together with an outside of the cassette module within the management level, ie merge into one another without supernatant. As a result, the coupling member can be mounted integrated in a particularly space-saving and inconspicuous manner on the cassette module. Furthermore, an enlarged guide surface for the slide assembly is created and in particular there are fewer points for potential precipitation of impurities.
Vorzugsweise umfasst das Kassettenmodul, beispielsweise an einer zur Grundplatte abgewandten Seite, mindestens eine zweite Aufnahme, worin mindestens ein Verbinderelement befestigt ist, um das oder gleich mehrere Andrückelemente an dem Kassettenmodul zu sichern. Für diesen Zweck erstreckt sich das Verbinderelement innerhalb der zweiten Aufnahme vorzugsweise über die gesamte Breite des Kassettenmoduls. Ferner kann das Verbinderelement derart dimensioniert sein, dass eine Außenseite davon ebenflächig mit zumindest einem Abschnitt der Außenseite des Kassettenmoduls verläuft, wenn das Verbinderelement in der zweiten Aufnahme befestigt ist. Dadurch baut das Kassettenmodul kompakt und eignet sich besonders vorteilhaft für einen hygienischen Betrieb.Preferably, the cassette module comprises, for example on a side facing away from the base plate, at least one second receptacle, wherein at least one connector element is fastened in order to secure the or several pressing elements on the cassette module. For this purpose, the connector element within the second receptacle preferably extends over the entire width of the cassette module. Further, the connector element may be sized such that an outside thereof extends flush with at least a portion of the outside of the cartridge module when the connector element is mounted in the second receptacle. As a result, the cassette module is compact and is particularly advantageous for hygienic operation.
Zweckgemäß können in der zweiten Aufnahme auch mehrere Verbinderelemente befestigt sein. Vorzugsweise sind die Verbinderelemente übereinander in der zweiten Aufnahme befestigt, wobei die Verbinderelemente innerhalb der Modulebene zueinander seitlich versetzt angeordnet sind, und wobei eines der Verbinderelemente über eine Seitenkante des Kassettenmoduls hinausragt, um an einem weiteren Kassettenmodul befestigt zu werden. Damit können nebeneinander an der Grundplatte angeordnete Kassettenmodule aneinander befestigt werden.Suitably, a plurality of connector elements can be secured in the second receptacle. Preferably, the connector elements are mounted one above the other in the second receptacle with the connector elements laterally offset within the module plane, and wherein one of the connector elements extends beyond a side edge of the cassette module for attachment to another cassette module. In this way, cassette modules arranged next to one another on the base plate can be fastened to one another.
Gemäß einer Variante ist das Andrückelement mehrteilig ausgebildet. Das Andrückelement kann als gefedert gelagerter Schieberstift konfiguriert sein. Vorzugsweise umfasst das Andrückelement einen Zapfen, einen Stift sowie ein an einem aus dem Kassettenmodul herausragenden Ende des Stifts befestigtes Druckstück, beispielsweise eine Kunststoffkappe zum Andrücken der Etiketten.According to a variant, the pressing element is designed in several parts. The pressing element can be configured as a spring-loaded slide pin. Preferably, the pressing element comprises a pin, a pin and a pressure piece attached to an end of the pin protruding from the cassette module, for example a plastic cap for pressing on the labels.
Vorzugsweise sind an der Grundplatte gleich mehrere Kassettenmodule nebeneinander angebaut. Die jeweiligen Kassettenmodule können dazu konfiguriert sein, jeweils eine Vielzahl, vorzugsweise zwei oder vier, Andrückelemente aufzunehmen. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführung sieht vor, dass sich ein zur Aufnahme von zwei Andrückelementen ausgebildetes Kassettenmodul aus einem zur Aufnahme von vier Andrückelementen ausgebildeten Kassettenmodul herstellen lässt, beispielsweise durch ein Trennverfahren.Preferably, several cassette modules are mounted next to each other on the base plate. The respective cassette modules may be configured to receive a plurality of, preferably two or four, pressing elements. A particularly advantageous embodiment provides that a cassette module designed to accommodate two pressing elements can be produced from a cassette module designed to receive four pressing elements, for example by a separating method.
Besonders kostengünstig herstellbar ist das Kassettenmodul dann, wenn es aus Kunststoff ausgebildet ist. Vorzugsweise ist das Kassettenmodul ein Spritzgussteil. Gemäß einer Variante sind das Koppelglied und/oder das Verbinderelement ebenfalls als Spritzgussteil, vorzugsweise aus demselben Kunststoff wie das Kassettenmodul, hergestellt.Particularly cost-effective to produce the cassette module, if it is made of plastic. Preferably, the cassette module is an injection molded part. According to a variant, the coupling member and / or the connector element are also made as an injection molded part, preferably made of the same plastic as the cassette module.
Vorzugsweise sind das Kassettenmodul, das Koppelglied und/oder das Verbinderelement aus Polyamid (PA) oder aus Polyoxymethylen (POM) hergestellt. Für einen zweckgemäßen Einsatz bei der Erfindung eignen sich diese Materialien wegen deren hoher Festigkeit und Zähigkeit besonders gut als Konstruktionswerkstoffe.Preferably, the cassette module, the coupling member and / or the connector element are made of polyamide (PA) or polyoxymethylene (POM). For a purposeful use in the invention, these materials are particularly well suited as construction materials because of their high strength and toughness.
Gemäß einer Variante ist die Grundplatte aus einem Hartpapier hergestellt. Das Hartpapier ist vorzugsweise aus Papier als Trägermaterial und Phenol-/Formaldehyd-Harz als Bindemittel hergestellt. Beispielsweise könnte ein Hartpapier des Typs HP 2061.9 verwendet werden. Vorzugsweise ist die Grundplatte aus einem Hartpapier mit Phenol- oder Melaminbeschichtung hergestellt. Dadurch lassen sich die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Grundplatte noch weiter verbessern. Außerdem eignen sich solche beschichteten Grundplatten hervorragend für Reinigungsvorgänge.According to a variant, the base plate is made of a hard paper. The kraft paper is preferably made of paper as a carrier material and phenol / formaldehyde resin as a binder. For example, a HP 2061.9 hard paper could be used. Preferably, the base plate is made of a phenolic or melamine coated kraft paper. As a result, the mechanical properties of the base plate can be further improved. In addition, such coated base plates are ideal for cleaning operations.
Wie bereits erwähnt kann das Kassettenmodul zur Aufnahme von mindestens zwei oder vier Andrückelementen ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere kann das Kassettenmodul ein Vormontagemodul sein, d.h., dass die jeweiligen Andrückelemente bereits daran vermontiert sind, bevor das Kassettenmodul samt den daran gesicherten Andrückelementen an der Grundplatte befestigt werden. Die jeweiligen Andrückelemente können daher schnell an der Grundplatte an- sowie von dieser abgebaut werden.As already mentioned, the cassette module can be designed to accommodate at least two or four pressing elements. In particular, the cassette module may be a pre-assembly module, that is, the respective pressing elements are already pre-mounted thereto before the cassette module, together with the pressing elements secured thereto, are fastened to the base plate. The respective pressing elements can therefore be quickly attached to the base plate as well as dismantled by this.
Besonders vorteilhaft kann der erfindungsgemäße Etikettierer an einer Verpackungsmaschine in Form einer Tiefziehverpackungsmaschine oder eines Traysealers zum Einsatz kommen.Particularly advantageously, the labeler according to the invention can be used on a packaging machine in the form of a thermoforming packaging machine or a tray sealer.
