Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Etikettiersystem für Güterstapel auf Paletten mit einem Drucker zum Bedrucken der Etiketten und einer Fördervorrichtung zur Beförderung des bedruckten Etiketts zu der für das Binden des Stapels vorbereiteten Schnur.The invention relates to a labeling system for stacks of goods on pallets with a printer for printing the labels and a conveying device for conveying the printed label to the line prepared for binding the stack.

Güterstapel auf Paletten müssen in der Regel mit einem Etikett versehen werden, auf dem verschiedene für den Transport wichtige Informationen, wie beispielsweise Destination, Warenkennzeichnung etc., gut sichtbar angegeben sind. Besonders problematisch ist dies vor allem bei Gütern, wie beispielsweise Getränkekästen, bei denen ein Aufkleben Etiketten ungünstig ist, weil sie nach dem Rücklauf der Kästen mühsam wieder abgelöst werden müssen.Stacks of goods on pallets usually have to be provided with a label on which various information that is important for transport, such as destination, goods labeling etc., is clearly visible. This is particularly problematic in the case of goods, such as beverage crates, for which sticking labels is unfavorable because they have to be laboriously removed after the crates have returned.

Es wurde deshalb bereits vorgeschlagen, die Etiketten nicht an den Gütern selbst, sondern an der Schnur anzubringen, mit der solche Stapel auf Paletten aus Gründen der Transportsicherheit üblicherweise gebunden sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass am Endziel der Palette mit der Schnur auch das Etikett entfernt wird. Die Etiketten bestehen zu diesem Zweck aus einem einmal gefalteten Blatt, das mit dem Falz auf die Schnur gelegt und zur Befestigung unterhalb der Schnur mit einer Heftklammer geheftet wird.It has therefore already been proposed not to attach the labels to the goods themselves, but rather to the cord with which such stacks are usually bound on pallets for reasons of transport security. This has the advantage that the label is also removed at the end destination of the pallet with the cord. For this purpose, the labels consist of one time folded sheet, which is folded onto the cord and stapled below the cord with a staple for fastening.

Nun hat sich aber herausgestellt, dass dieser Vorschlag mit einigen schwerwiegenden Nachteilen behaftet ist. Mit den gefalteten Etiketten kommen handelsübliche Drucker wegen deren uneinheitlicher Dicke nicht gut zurecht. Oft werden durch den Papiereinzug zwei Etiketten statt einer genommen, so dass eine nachher nicht bedruckt ist. Auch die Positionierung der Etiketten ist ungenau, so dass die Druckpräzision zu wünschen übrig lässt.However, it has now been found that this proposal has some serious disadvantages. Commercial printers do not cope well with the folded labels because of their inconsistent thickness. Often, two labels are taken through the paper feed instead of one, so that one is not printed afterwards. The positioning of the labels is also imprecise, so that the printing precision leaves something to be desired.

Wenn die Etiketten längere Zeit gelagert sind, vor allem in einer in Getränkeabfüllbetrieben üblichen feuchten Umgebung, spreizen sich häufig die beiden Flügel der gefalteten Etikette vor dem Anbringen an der Schnur nicht mehr auseinander und können somit nicht über die Schnur gelegt werden. Anstatt an der Schnur befestigt zu werden, fallen solche Etiketten dann einfach herunter. Durch die verschiedenen Fehlerquellen hat sich eine Ausfallquote von ca. 40% ergeben, die nicht tolerabel ist.If the labels have been stored for a long time, especially in a humid environment usual in beverage bottling plants, the two wings of the folded label often no longer spread apart before being attached to the cord and can therefore not be placed over the cord. Instead of being attached to the cord, such labels simply fall off. The various sources of error have resulted in a failure rate of approx. 40%, which is not tolerable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Etikettiersystem bereitzustellen, das von den vorgenannten Nachteilen frei ist.The invention has for its object to provide a labeling system that is free from the aforementioned disadvantages.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch ein Etikettiersystem der eingangs genannten Art, das sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass der Drucker zum Bedrucken von ungefaltetem Normalpapier geeignet ist und dass zwischen dem Drucker und der Fördervorrichtung eine Faltvorrichtung angeordnet ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a labeling system of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that the printer is suitable for printing on unfolded normal paper and that a folding device is arranged between the printer and the conveying device.

Im folgenden wird anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung beschrieben. Es zeigen

  • Fig.1 eine perspektivische Darstellung eines Etikettiersystems nach der Erfindung
  • Fig.2 den Durchlauf eines Papierbogens durch das System.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it
  • 1 shows a perspective view of a labeling system according to the invention
  • 2 shows the passage of a sheet of paper through the system.

Die Anbringung eines Etiketts erfolgt an der Schnur 1, die zum Binden eines Güterstapels auf einer Palette dient. Automatische Bindevorrichtungen, die das Binden vornehmen, sind bekannt. Das Etikettiersystem arbeitet mit einer solchen Bindevorrichtung zusammen. Vor dem Bindevorgang legt die Bindevorrichtung ein gestrecktes Stück der Schnur 1 über zwei Haltebügel 2,3 des Etikettiersystems.A label is attached to the cord 1, which is used to bind a stack of goods on a pallet. Automatic binders that do the binding are known. The labeling system works with such a binding device. Before the binding process, the binding device places an elongated piece of the cord 1 over two holding brackets 2, 3 of the labeling system.

Das Etikettiersystem enthält einen Drucker 4, zum Bedrucken normaler, ungefalteter Papierbögen 6 (Fig.2). Dieser Drucker ist beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ein handelsüblicher Laserdrucker für A4 Normalpapier. Vorteilhafterweise hat der Drucker ein Grossmagazin mit mindestens 1000 Blatt. Der zu druckende Text wird dem Drucker in üblicher Weise, z.B. durch einen Personalcomputer (nicht gezeigt) eingegeben.The labeling system contains a printer 4 for printing normal, unfolded sheets of paper 6 (FIG. 2). In the present exemplary embodiment, this printer is a commercially available laser printer for A4 plain paper. The printer advantageously has a large magazine with at least 1000 sheets. The text to be printed is sent to the printer in the usual way, e.g. entered by a personal computer (not shown).

Hinter dem Drucker 4 ist eine handelsübliche Faltvorrichtung 8 angeordnet, derart, dass die bedruckten Papierbögen 6 direkt aus dem Ausgabeschlitz 5 des Druckers 4 in die Faltvorrichtung 8 hineinlaufen. Durch die Faltvorrichtung 8 werden die Papierbögen erst erfasst, wenn sie vom Vorschub des Druckers 4 freigegeben sind. In der Faltvorrichtung 8 wird, wie in Fig 2 ersichtlich, der obere Teil 7 eines Papierbogens einmal nach unten gefaltet und durch den Ausgabeschlitz 9 an eine Fördervorrichtung 10 weitergegeben.A commercially available folding device 8 is arranged behind the printer 4 such that the printed sheets of paper 6 run directly from the output slot 5 of the printer 4 into the folding device 8. The paper sheets are only captured by the folding device 8 when they are released by the feed of the printer 4. In the folding device 8 is how 2, the upper part 7 of a sheet of paper is folded down once and passed on to a conveying device 10 through the output slot 9.

Die Fördervorrichtung 10 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem gebogenen Führungsblech 11 und zwei zylindrischen rotierenden Bürsten 12. Das Führungsblech 11 ist an einem pneumatisch angetriebenen Hebelsystem 14 so befestigt, dass es zwei Endpositionen einnehmen kann. Aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit der Zeichnung ist von dem Hebelsystem 14 nur das hintere Hebelpaar und von den Bürsten 12 nur eine gezeigtThe conveyor device 10 consists essentially of a curved guide plate 11 and two cylindrical rotating brushes 12. The guide plate 11 is fastened to a pneumatically driven lever system 14 in such a way that it can assume two end positions. For the sake of clarity of the drawing, only the rear lever pair of the lever system 14 and only one of the brushes 12 are shown

Wenn der zum Etikett gefaltete Papierbogen 6 aus der Faltvorrichtung ausgeworfen wird, befindet sich das Führungsblech 11 in seiner oberen Position und zwar mit seiner Kante 13 oberhalb der Schnur 1. In dieser Position verläuft die Schnur 1 zwischen dem Führungsblech 11 und der Faltvorrichtung 8. Der zum Etikett gefaltete Papierbogen 6 wird durch die Auswurfgeschwindigkeit zwischen den rotierenden Bürsten 12 entlang dem Führungsblech 11 nach oben befördert und gegen einen Anschlag (nicht gezeigt) gedrückt. Dadurch wird der abgefaltete Teil 7 des Etiketts über der Schnur aufgespreizt.When the paper sheet 6 folded into the label is ejected from the folding device, the guide plate 11 is in its upper position, namely with its edge 13 above the cord 1. In this position, the cord 1 runs between the guide plate 11 and the folding device 8 paper sheet 6 folded to the label is conveyed upward by the ejection speed between the rotating brushes 12 along the guide plate 11 and pressed against a stop (not shown). As a result, the folded part 7 of the label is spread over the cord.

In seiner zweiten Position befindet sich das Führungsblech 11 soweit unterhalb der Schnur, dass das Etikett freigegeben wird. Durch die Abwärtsbewegung des Führungsbleches 11 fällt der Papierbogen 6 mit der Innenseite seines Falzes auf die Schnur.In its second position, the guide plate 11 is so far below the cord that the label is released. Due to the downward movement of the guide plate 11, the paper sheet 6 falls on the cord with the inside of its fold.

Oberhalb der Schnur 1 ist eine Hefteinrichtung 15 angeordnet, die nach dem Auflegen des Etiketts 6 auf die Schnur 1 pneumatisch nach unten geführt wird und die beiden Flügel des zum Etikett gefalteten Papierbogens, d.h. den abgefalteten Teil 7 und den bedruckten Teil mittels einer Heftklammer unterhalb der Schnur miteinander verbindet.Arranged above the cord 1 is a stapling device 15 which, after the label 6 has been placed on the cord 1, is guided pneumatically downwards and the two wings of the sheet of paper folded to form the label, i.e. connects the folded part 7 and the printed part together using a staple underneath the cord.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, vor dem Bindevorgang eine oder mehrere Etiketten an der Schnur 1 anzubringen, derart, dass der gebundene Stapel an einer oder mehreren Seiten durch ein Etikett gekennzeichnet ist.In this way, it is possible to attach one or more labels to the cord 1 before the binding process, such that the bound stack is identified by a label on one or more sides.

Der Begriff "Schnur" umfasst für den Zweck dieser Beschreibung auch andere Bindemittel, wie z.B. Flachbänder bis zu etwa 10 mm Breite.The term "cord" for the purpose of this description also includes other binders such as e.g. Flat belts up to about 10 mm wide.
