Abstract

The object of the invention is, for the visible packaging of cans, glasses, bottles, etc., to align these bundles before the packaging, that is to say on the feed-transport path, in such a way that the labels face the customer. The latter can thus recognise which product is packaged in a neutral window carton or tray. The sales staff also recognise the product, without opening the carton. This object is achieved, according to the invention, in that there are mounted laterally on the feed-transport stage units which raise the bundles via a suction cup from below through fitting bores and rotate them by means of a motor until an optical system directed at the label detects the edge of the latter and terminates the rotational movement. After recognition, the unit is lowered positively, so that the track becomes free. The lowering takes place by time control, even in the event of non-recognition or jamming. Rotation from below and the omission of a pincer or gripper movement make it possible to work quickly. For example, a 1-litre bottle is aligned and released again within 1.1 seconds. A complete unit is used in each case for each bottle to be aligned. As a result of the time control, the apparatus is a "passive" system which does not adversely influence the packaging operation.

Description

Der Verkauf von Flaschen oder Gläsern in offenen oder Klarsichtpackungen, macht es erforderlich, daß das Etikett der Flasche dem Kunden lesbar zugewendet ist.The sale of bottles or glasses in open or transparent packs, requires that the bottle's label be given to the customer is legibly turned.

Das Ausrichten erfolgt dann nach dem Einsetzen der Gläser oder Flaschen in ein Wellpappetray, mittels Greifern von oben.Alignment is then carried out after inserting the glasses or bottles in a corrugated cardboard tray, using grippers from above.

Dies erfordert einen großen Aufwand an Mechanik und meist den Aufdruck einer Markierung auf dem Etikett.This requires a great deal of mechanical work and usually the printing a mark on the label.

Das hier beschriebene System, richtet auf dem Zutransportweg von Unten her aus. Ein Vacuumnapf unterhalb einer Bohrung in der Bahn, wird durch einen kleinen Getriebemotor in Drehung versetzt und bei Stillstand der Flaschen angehoben. Dabei kommt der Kopf der Flasche in den Bereich einer Zentriereinrichtung welche die Flasche senkrecht in der Mitte hält. Die Flasche dreht sich im Bereich eines Reflextasters, der in der Ansprechhöhe einer ausgewählten Kante des Etikettes angeordnet ist. Beim Erreichen dieser Kante wird der Glasreflex unterbrochen.The system described here is aimed at the access route from below out. A vacuum bowl underneath a hole in the track is through a small gear motor rotates and when the Bottles raised. The head of the bottle comes into the area a centering device that holds the bottle vertically in the middle. The bottle turns in the area of a reflex button, which is in the Response height of a selected edge of the label is arranged. The glass reflex is interrupted when this edge is reached.

Der Reflextaster schaltet über einen Schaltverstärker, den, die Drehung ausübenden Motor, ab. Der Napf senkt sich unter die Bahnebene und gibt den Weitertransport der Flaschen frei.The reflex switch switches via a switching amplifier, the rotation exercising engine. The bowl sinks below the level and gives free transportation of the bottles.

Bei Stillstand der nachlaufenden Flaschen beginnt, mit einem Verpackungstakt gekoppelt das Anheben und Drehen erneut.When the trailing bottles come to a standstill, begins with a packaging cycle coupled lifting and turning again.

Um Fehlschaltungen durch fehlende Etiketten zu vermeiden, ist diese Aktion so zeitlich begrenzt, daß sie innerhalb des Verpackungsvorganges sicher beendet ist.This action is to avoid switching errors due to missing labels limited in time so that they are safe within the packaging process is finished.

Der Reflextaster ist in der Tastweite so begrenzt, daß er nicht durch die Flasche und den Inhalt hindurch, das Etikett auf der Rückseite der Flasche ertasten kann und diese so um 180 Grad verdreht steht.The reflex sensor is so limited in the scanning range that it is not by the Bottle and contents through it, the label on the back of the bottle can feel and this is rotated by 180 degrees.

Bei neueren, aus einem Streifen gebildeten Fensterkartons, genügt das Ausrichten der jeweils mittleren Flasche beim Sechserpack. Bei offenen, und Schrumpfpackungen werden alle Flaschen oder Gläser durch Anordnen mehrerer Einheiten ausgerichtet.With newer window boxes made from a strip, this is sufficient Align the middle bottle with the six-pack. With open, and shrink wraps will go through any bottles or jars Arrange multiple units aligned.
