Abstract
ABSTRACT
The invention relates to a labelling machine for bottles or the like with at least one labelling station having devices for gluing, stocking and transferring labels and wherein in addition to the swivelling capacity of the labelling station, the station for transferring labels (i.e. the gripper cylinder 14) opposite the labelling station (8) may be swivelled. Swivelling the labelling station occurs under large gearing with the aid of a handwheel (31) disposed on the free end of a projecting support and fixedly supported via a slot and tenon guidance (32) and a strap (33). After swivelling the labelling station, the necessary correction adjustment of the gripper cylinder takes place, after loosening a coupling and a clamping device, with the aid of dials with marking attachments which are likewise provided in a similar manner on the handwheel.

Description
~ 1712-193 The invention relates to a labelling machine for bottles or the like with at least one swivelling labelling station having various elements for gluing, stocking and -transferring labels and with additional swivelling capacity of the station for trans-ferring labels (gripper cylinder) opposite the labelling station.
If the labelling of, for example, bottles with areas of different diameter, is to be perfect, the labelling station must be swivelled in order to take into account the different diameters of the bottles to be labelled. With bottles having a small dia-meter, the labelling station is swivelled about the axis of theglue segment carrier towards the inside, iOe. towards the axis of the rotary table carrying the bottles, and for bottles having a large diameter is swivelled away from the axis of the rotary table, towards the outside. An angular or phase displacement occurs between the gripper cylinder and the drive means of the labelling machine during swivelling of the labelling station, this displacement being compensated for or corrected by the possible additional swivelling capacity of the station for transferring the labels, i.eO of the gripper cylinder, opposite the labelling station. In this way it is assured that labels are correctly applied to the bottles to be labelled, even with diameters deviating from the normal diameter.
In a labelling machine known from the German Offenlegungsschrift 31 50 089, the labelling station or an inter-mediate member is swivelled via a horizontally extending threaded spindle with a handle thereon. A transmission designed as a plan r3~
etary transmission, which can be adjusted vla a lever arm and a sleeve-shaped adjusting element until the labels reach the desired position on the bottles, is provided for the correction adjust-ment.
A similar solution is provided in the labelling machine according to the German Offenlegungsschrift 15 86 373. In this case also, the necessary correction adjustment of the working surface of the gripper cylinder after swivelling of the labelling station can be carried out via an inserted differential trans-mission that is adjustable by hand. Instead of a differentialtransmission, a planetary transmission can also be installed for adjustment of tha gripper cylinder.
To avoid the probiem of adjusting and resetting the gripper cylinder after swivelling the entire labelling s-tation, solutions have already become known in practice, wherein adjust-ment of -the gripper cylinder occurs on a straight line drawn from the centre of the main shaft of the machine to the axis of the gripper cylinder. For this purpose, use was made of a compound slide which at the same time also permits the second necessary movement of the entire station.
The known devices have the disadvantages that their construction must be very expensive in order to achieve the adjustments, and that above all the adjustment period ls quite long and the possibilities for identifying the si~es set is quite limited. Thus, for the labelling machine according to the German Offenlegungsschrift 31 50 089, the handle for adjusting the labelling station must be adjusted for quite a long period before 27~36-~a suitable adjusting travel on the gripper cyllnder is achieved.
The same applies for the adjustment of the planetary transmisslon.
In addition, the known transfer syst~ms for ad~usting the labelling station and the gripper cylinder exhibit by comparison a lot of play so that an inexact adjustment results.
The invention is based on the object of providing a labelling machine for bottles or the like of the kind described at the beginning, which at little expense provides a rapid adjustment and a high repetitive accuracy.
The present invention provides a labelling machine for bottles or the like having at least one labelling station having elements for glulng, stocking and transferring labels, said labelling station being swivellable about the axis of a glue segment carrier and belng lockable by means of a clamping devlce, wherein a handwheel is disposed at the free end of a projecting support arranged on a transmission housing of the glue segment carrier and is rotatable about an axis on said support in the area of the label supply station extending parallel to the axis of the glue segment carrier, and with the insertion of a step-up gear in the form of a crank slot gear consisting of a slot and a tenon guided therein, said handwheel being supported on a fixed strap.
Through this an exact, rapid and repeatable size allocation is possible.
The handwheel is easily accessible and thus readily operable, and permits an exact and reproducible adjustability.
Because the handwheel includes a slot and tenon guide supported on a fixed strap, large adjusting paths result, ~s~
i~e. indicating distances with small adjusting paths in the area of the gripper cylinder. Through this good adjustment and above all also an exact reproducibility is given.
It is important that the direction of rotation of the handwheel is the same as the swivelling direction of the labelling station.
It is advantageous if the handwheel is disposed below a housing carrying a label box and if this housing is provided with a tongue-like projection at the end facing away from the glue segment carri0r. In this way a suitable indicator, such as, for example, marXings as well dS notches or the like, can easily be applied to the handwheel and to the housing for an exact bottle size identification or a size plug system. A suitable size plug tool consists, for example, of a saw part which can be used to form a slot, for e~ample, during initial setting of the labelling machine. The adjustable transmission housing of the glue segment carrier can be adjusted vis-à-vis a fixed bearing housing by means of a clamping device.
Furthermore, the transmission housing and the bearing housing are penetrated by a central fixing rod which is connected at its one end to a handle and at its other end to a first coupling member which co-operates with a second coupling member connected via a rotatingly driven bearing piece to a dial which co-operates with a further dial firmly connected to a hollow shaft driven via the coupling. Corresponding markings and notches can also be provided on these dials in order to carry out the necessary correction adjustment ater adjusting the labelling ~2J~
station, in such a way that the necessary adjustment of the gripper cylinder can be carried out after loosening the fixing rod and releasing the coupling and insertion of the driving and inter-mediate gears.
A preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings and is explained in detail herebelow.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 shows a labelling machine with a labelling station in plan view;
Figure 2 shows a section of a labelling machine accor-ding to Figure 1 on a larger scale;
Figure 3 shows a vertical longitudinal partial section through the labelling station;
Figure 4 is a sectional view of the drive element of the labelling station, on an enlarged scale;
Figure 5 shows a detail of an ad~usting mechanism of the drive;
Figure 6 shows a portion of the device for swivelling the labelling station, on an enlarged scale, and Figure 7 shows a section of the appertaining side view o the swivelling device.
A labelling machine illustrated in Figure 1 consists essentially of an apron conveyor 2 conveying bottles 1 to be labelled, a conveying star wheel 3 disposed at the feed end, a turntable 4, a conveying star wheel 5 disposed at the discharge end as well as a conveyor 6 transporting the labelled bottles away. A labelling station 8 is disposed between the conveying star wheel 3 an~ a feeding device 7 for brushing labels onto the bottles 1. Further labelling stations can be provided if required. The devices described are arranged on a table board 9 of a machine frame (not illustrated in greater detail). As can be seen in particular from Figure 2 and 3, a glue roller 11, a glue segment carrier 12 with glue pallets 13 as well as a gripper cylinder 14 and a label box 15 (which is only schematically indicated in Figure 2) form part of the labelling station 8. The aforenamed devices are driven by means of a ring gear 16 of the turntable 4 meshing with a pinion gear 17, a toothed belt 18 as well as gearwheels 19, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.
The housing 27 of a device 28 for swivelling the labelling station 8 is connected to the transmission housing 26 of the glue segment carrier 12. This swivelling device 28 has a handwheel 31 which can be rota-ted about a shaft 29, said handwheel having a radial slot that slidably engages a guide block 32 pivoted on a strap 33 which is supported either directly on the table board 9 or else on a bearing housing 3~ firmly connected thereto. The housing 27 has mounting shafts 35 for the label box 15 and a tongue-like projection 36 on the side facing away from the glue segment carrier 12, the projection being aligned at its end face with -the circumference of the handwheel 31. As can be seen from Figure 3, and in particular from Figure 6 and 7, there is a marking for retrieving a specific rotation position of the handwheel in the projection 36 and the outer circumEerence of the handwheel 31, for example, an arrow slot 37 as well as studs 38 inserted in the handwheel. Furthermore, slots 39 can be provided ~ 3~ ~
in the upper surface of the handwheel which can be formed at 'che initial setting of the machine, for example, with the aid of a si~e plug tool 4] with a saw part (see Figure 6). The shaft 29 of the handwheel 31 is fixed to a guide bolt 42 which acts as a guide for a bearing piece 43 fastened to the housing 27. A stop 44, which is fixed to the housing 26 of -the glue segment carrier, is located at the end of the guide rod 42. The construction is chosen in such a way that axial movement of the housing 27 and thus of the label box 15 (by the bearing piece sliding on the bolt 42) is possible if no label is to be transferred to the glue seg-ments 13 of the glue segment carrier 12 and thus to the gripper cylinder, as when a bottle in the turntable is missing.
Adjustment of the housing 27 occurs pneumatically, for example, and is not illustrated in detail. The feed for the pressure medium can occur, for example, via the hollow shaft 29, namely via a flexible hose 45 (Figure 3).
Passing centrally through the transmission housing 26 is a fixing rod 46 which is surrounded by a hollow drive shaft 47 which is in turn surrounded by a rotatable support plate 48. For further reasons given herebelow, the support plate 48 can be fastened with respect to the stationary frame 34 by means of a clamp 49 (Figure 3). With the aid of the fixing rod 46, a first coupling member 51 is axially adjustably, movable on a spline connection 52 of the drive shaft 47 and co-operates with a second coupling member 53. The second coupling member 53 is firmly con-nected to a pulley 54 which is in drive connection with the ring gear 16 of the rotary table via the aforenamed belt 18 and pinion 17.
The second coupling member 53 is connected via a wedge 55 to a bearing shaft 56 rotatingly mounted in the bearing housing 34 via roller bearings 57, 58. A dial 59 with marking studs 61 is provided at the end of the bearing shaft 56 facing away from the coupling member 53, the dial 59 co-operating with a similar dial 62 with marking studs 63 that is firmly connected to the drive shaft 47. As can be seen from Figure 5, there are marking or arrow slots 64, 65 in the upper dial 62 and short slots 66, 67 in the lower dial which can be placed with the aid of the size plug tool 41 (already explained in connection with the handwheel) in order to carry out the necessary correction adjustment from a normal position after swivelling the entire labelling station and its return to the starting position. To make the adjustment easier, windows 68 are located in the bearing housing 34.
The device according to the invention operates as follows:
When the diameter of the bottle 1 to be labelled deviates from the normal diameter, the entire labelling station 8 must be ad~usted in the direction of the double arrow 69 (Figure
If the labelling of, for example, bottles with areas of different diameter, is to be perfect, the labelling station must be swivelled in order to take into account the different diameters of the bottles to be labelled. With bottles having a small dia-meter, the labelling station is swivelled about the axis of theglue segment carrier towards the inside, iOe. towards the axis of the rotary table carrying the bottles, and for bottles having a large diameter is swivelled away from the axis of the rotary table, towards the outside. An angular or phase displacement occurs between the gripper cylinder and the drive means of the labelling machine during swivelling of the labelling station, this displacement being compensated for or corrected by the possible additional swivelling capacity of the station for transferring the labels, i.eO of the gripper cylinder, opposite the labelling station.

Figure 5 shows a detail of an ad~usting mechanism of the drive;
Figure 6 shows a portion of the device for swivelling the labelling station, on an enlarged scale, and Figure 7 shows a section of the appertaining side view o the swivelling device.
A labelling machine illustrated in Figure 1 consists essentially of an apron conveyor 2 conveying bottles 1 to be labelled, a conveying star wheel 3 disposed at the feed end, a turntable 4, a conveying star wheel 5 disposed at the discharge end as well as a conveyor 6 transporting the labelled bottles away. A labelling station 8 is disposed between the conveying star wheel 3 an~ a feeding device 7 for brushing labels onto the bottles 1. Further labelling stations can be provided if required. The devices described are arranged on a table board 9 of a machine frame (not illustrated in greater detail). As can be seen in particular from Figure 2 and 3, a glue roller 11, a glue segment carrier 12 with glue pallets 13 as well as a gripper cylinder 14 and a label box 15 (which is only schematically indicated in Figure 2) form part of the labelling station 8. The aforenamed devices are driven by means of a ring gear 16 of the turntable 4 meshing with a pinion gear 17, a toothed belt 18 as well as gearwheels 19, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.
The housing 27 of a device 28 for swivelling the labelling station 8 is connected to the transmission housing 26 of the glue segment carrier 12. This swivelling device 28 has a handwheel 31 which can be rota-ted about a shaft 29, said handwheel having a radial slot that slidably engages a guide block 32 pivoted on a strap 33 which is supported either directly on the table board 9 or else on a bearing housing 3~ firmly connected thereto. The housing 27 has mounting shafts 35 for the label box 15 and a tongue-like projection 36 on the side facing away from the glue segment carrier 12, the projection being aligned at its end face with -the circumference of the handwheel 31. As can be seen from Figure 3, and in particular from Figure 6 and 7, there is a marking for retrieving a specific rotation position of the handwheel in the projection 36 and the outer circumEerence of the handwheel 31, for example, an arrow slot 37 as well as studs 38 inserted in the handwheel. Furthermore, slots 39 can be provided ~ 3~ ~
in the upper surface of the handwheel which can be formed at 'che initial setting of the machine, for example, with the aid of a si~e plug tool 4] with a saw part (see Figure 6). The shaft 29 of the handwheel 31 is fixed to a guide bolt 42 which acts as a guide for a bearing piece 43 fastened to the housing 27. A stop 44, which is fixed to the housing 26 of -the glue segment carrier, is located at the end of the guide rod 42. The construction is chosen in such a way that axial movement of the housing 27 and thus of the label box 15 (by the bearing piece sliding on the bolt 42) is possible if no label is to be transferred to the glue seg-ments 13 of the glue segment carrier 12 and thus to the gripper cylinder, as when a bottle in the turntable is missing.
Adjustment of the housing 27 occurs pneumatically, for example, and is not illustrated in detail. The feed for the pressure medium can occur, for example, via the hollow shaft 29, namely via a flexible hose 45 (Figure 3).
Passing centrally through the transmission housing 26 is a fixing rod 46 which is surrounded by a hollow drive shaft 47 which is in turn surrounded by a rotatable support plate 48. For further reasons given herebelow, the support plate 48 can be fastened with respect to the stationary frame 34 by means of a clamp 49 (Figure 3). With the aid of the fixing rod 46, a first coupling member 51 is axially adjustably, movable on a spline connection 52 of the drive shaft 47 and co-operates with a second coupling member 53. The second coupling member 53 is firmly con-nected to a pulley 54 which is in drive connection with the ring gear 16 of the rotary table via the aforenamed belt 18 and pinion 17.
The second coupling member 53 is connected via a wedge 55 to a bearing shaft 56 rotatingly mounted in the bearing housing 34 via roller bearings 57, 58. A dial 59 with marking studs 61 is provided at the end of the bearing shaft 56 facing away from the coupling member 53, the dial 59 co-operating with a similar dial 62 with marking studs 63 that is firmly connected to the drive shaft 47. As can be seen from Figure 5, there are marking or arrow slots 64, 65 in the upper dial 62 and short slots 66, 67 in the lower dial which can be placed with the aid of the size plug tool 41 (already explained in connection with the handwheel) in order to carry out the necessary correction adjustment from a normal position after swivelling the entire labelling station and its return to the starting position. To make the adjustment easier, windows 68 are located in the bearing housing 34.
The device according to the invention operates as follows:
When the diameter of the bottle 1 to be labelled deviates from the normal diameter, the entire labelling station 8 must be ad~usted in the direction of the double arrow 69 (Figure
2), namely for a smaller diameter, towards the main shaft of the rotary table 4 and for a larger diameter, in the opposite direc-tion, i.e. outwardly. This adjustment is done as follows: to begin with the clamp 49 is loosened and likewise the fi~ing rod 46 so that the two coupling members 51 and 53 are disengaged.
Thereafter, the entire labelling station 8 can be adjusted by turning the handwheel 31. Since the handwheel ia fixedly suppor-ted via the slot and tenon guide 32 and the strap 33, the entire labelling station is swivelled about the axis of the glue segment carrier 12, for example into the position illustrated in broken lines in Figure 2. On account of the adjusting travel and the handwheel gearing, compara-tively large angular displacements of the handwheel result from small adjusting movements in the area of the gripper cylinder 14, as can be clearly seen from Figure 7.
Following adjustment of the entire labelling station 8 the angular and phase displacement inevitably resul-ting at the gripper cylin-der 14 opposite the bottles 1 on the rotary table must be compen-sated. This is easily carried out by a corresponding swivelling of the drive element of the glue segment carrier 12 (and thus also of the gripper cylinder 14 drivingly connected thereto) with the aid of markings on the two dials 62 and 59~ After the exact allo-cation is again established, the coupling is again engaged via the fixing rod 46, and the clamp 49 is tightened. The labelling station is thus adjusted to the new size.
A reproducible adjustment can be established very quickly by the adjustment markings on the handwheel 31 as well as the dials 59 and 62.
It is understood that the clamp 49 and the fixiny rod 46 can also be adjusted independently of one another.

Thereafter, the entire labelling station 8 can be adjusted by turning the handwheel 31. Since the handwheel ia fixedly suppor-ted via the slot and tenon guide 32 and the strap 33, the entire labelling station is swivelled about the axis of the glue segment carrier 12, for example into the position illustrated in broken lines in Figure 2. On account of the adjusting travel and the handwheel gearing, compara-tively large angular displacements of the handwheel result from small adjusting movements in the area of the gripper cylinder 14, as can be clearly seen from Figure 7.
Following adjustment of the entire labelling station 8 the angular and phase displacement inevitably resul-ting at the gripper cylin-der 14 opposite the bottles 1 on the rotary table must be compen-sated.

The labelling station is thus adjusted to the new size.
A reproducible adjustment can be established very quickly by the adjustment markings on the handwheel 31 as well as the dials 59 and 62.
It is understood that the clamp 49 and the fixiny rod 46 can also be adjusted independently of one another.
