Description

BOBINA DE ETIQUETADO, PROCEDIMIENTO Y DISPOSITIVO DE APLICACIÓN DE ETIQUETAS Y ETIQUETA OBTENIDA OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN  LABEL COIL, PROCEDURE AND DEVICE FOR THE APPLICATION OF LABELS AND LABEL OBTAINED OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
En primer lugar la invención se refiere a una nueva bobina de etiquetado de las utilizadas para alimentar un mecanismo de aplicación automática sobre un producto y que tiene por objeto simplificar la estructura de la bobina eliminando el soporte siliconado que convencionalmente incluyen estas bobinas y sobre el que se encuentran adheridas las etiquetas.  In the first place, the invention relates to a new labeling coil of those used to feed an automatic application mechanism on a product and which aims to simplify the structure of the coil by eliminating the silicone support conventionally included in these coils and on which tags are attached.
Es otro objeto de la invención el proporcionar un procedimiento y dispositivo para efectuar la aplicación de etiquetas a partir de la bobina de etiquetas de la invención .  It is another object of the invention to provide a method and device for effecting the application of labels from the label coil of the invention.
También es objeto de la invención proporcionar una nueva etiqueta con una estructura simplificada, para su aplicación a la superficie de productos mediante un dispositivo de aplicación automática de etiquetas en el que las etiquetas se disponen debidamente apiladas en el mecanismo de alimentación del dispositivo de aplicación automática .  It is also the object of the invention to provide a new label with a simplified structure, for application to the surface of products by means of an automatic label application device in which the labels are properly stacked in the feeding mechanism of the automatic application device. .
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En el estado de la técnica es conocido el empleo de bobinas de etiquetas que se suministran para alimentar un mecanismo aplicador de las etiquetas sobre el producto, de forma que dicha bobina está constituida por una banda soporte en continuo, una de cuyas caras se encuentra recubierta de silicona (papel siliconado) , y sobre el se encuentra acomplejado un segundo papel adhesivo sobre el que se imprimen las etiquetas autoadhesivas , de forma que estas bobinas se aplican a un mecanismo que realiza el despegado de la etiqueta de la banda soporte siliconada, y la adhiere sobre un producto que discurre a través de una banda transportadora, realizándose su etiquetado. Mediante este sistema, una vez efectuado el etiquetado, se desecha la banda soporte siliconada, lo que genera un coste adicional y un residuo perjudicial para el medio ambiente, que ha de ser desechado en vertederos controlados para evitar en la mayor medida posible la contaminación del medio ambiente, lo que constituye un grave inconveniente y encarece en mayor medida el etiquetado . It is known in the state of the art the use of label coils that are supplied to feed a mechanism for applying the labels on the product, so that said coil is constituted by a continuous support band, one of whose faces is coated of silicone (siliconized paper), and on it a second adhesive paper on which the self-adhesive labels are printed is complexed, so that these coils are applied to a mechanism that detaches the label from the silicone support band, and adheres it on a product that runs through a conveyor belt, making its labeling. By means of this system, once the labeling has been carried out, the siliconized support strip is discarded, which generates an additional cost and a waste that is harmful to the environment, which must be disposed of in controlled landfills to avoid contamination of the environment, which constitutes a serious inconvenience and makes labeling more expensive.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN  DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Para conseguir los objetivos y resolver los inconvenientes anteriormente indicados, la invención ha desarrollado una nueva bobina de etiquetado, que comprende una banda en continuo que forma la bobina, y que presenta la principal novedad de que una de las caras de la banda comprende zonas en las que están impresas las diferentes etiquetas, y su cara contraria comprende zonas en las que incluye un adhesivo inerte, estando estas zonas dispuestas al menos parcialmente en correspondencia con las etiquetas impresas, de forma que la banda constituye las etiquetas propiamente dichas, con una cara impresa y la otra con adhesivo inerte. La banda en continuo puede ser de papel o de cualquier otro material que permita la impresión de la etiqueta y la aplicación del adhesivo inerte.  In order to achieve the objectives and solve the aforementioned drawbacks, the invention has developed a new labeling coil, comprising a continuous band forming the coil, and presenting the main novelty that one of the faces of the band comprises areas in which those that are printed on the different labels, and their opposite face comprises areas in which it includes an inert adhesive, these areas being arranged at least partially in correspondence with the printed labels, so that the band constitutes the labels themselves, with one side printed and the other with inert adhesive. The continuous web can be made of paper or any other material that allows the printing of the label and the application of the inert adhesive.
Esta configuración presenta la gran ventaja de que se elimina la banda soporte siliconada, y la propia banda que se emplea constituye las etiquetas, lo que determina una simplificación de la bobina, cuya banda presenta un menor espesor, al no contener un segundo papel adhesivo que constituye la etiqueta, lo que permite obtener bobinas que, a igual diámetro que las del estado de la técnica, tienen una mayor longitud de etiquetado, y en consecuencia proporciona un mayor rendimiento en la aplicación del mismo, al requerirse un menor número de paradas del dispositivo de aplicación de las etiquetas, al tener menos mermas de materia prima y en consecuencia proporciona un aumento de la productividad. El eliminar la banda de soporte siliconada representa un considerable ahorro, ya que por un lado se evita la generación de productos contaminantes y su transporte a las zonas de desechado, y por otro lado se reduce la cantidad de material empleado en la bobina. Estos ahorros se pueden cifrar en porcentajes superiores al 40%. This configuration has the great advantage that the silicone support band is removed, and the band that is used itself constitutes the labels, which determines a simplification of the coil, whose band has a smaller thickness, as it does not contain a second adhesive paper that It constitutes the label, which allows to obtain coils that, with the same diameter as those of the prior art, have a greater length of labeling, and consequently provides a greater performance in the application of the same, as a smaller number of stops of the device of application of the labels, having less waste of raw material and consequently provides an increase in productivity. The elimination of the siliconized support band represents a considerable saving, since on the one hand the generation of contaminating products and their transport to the disposal areas is avoided, and on the other hand the amount of material used in the coil is reduced. These savings can be estimated at percentages greater than 40%.
La configuración descrita no genera desperdicio y permite preparar antes el dispositivo de aplicación debido a que hay menos procesos.  The described configuration does not generate waste and allows the application device to be prepared before due to fewer processes.
También proporciona un aumento de la calidad y la uniformidad del producto final fabricado por evitar las paradas .  It also provides an increase in the quality and uniformity of the final product manufactured by avoiding stops.
Además, la invención proporciona una menor merma en los empalmes de cada bobina. De hecho en una etiquetadora autoadhesiva se desperdicia del orden de 2 metros lineales de material en cada cambio de bobina, en cambio mediante la invención tan solo se perderán unos centímetros.  In addition, the invention provides less reduction in the splices of each coil. In fact, in a self-adhesive labeling machine, the order of 2 linear meters of material is wasted at each coil change, however, by means of the invention, only a few centimeters will be lost.
Cabe señalar que en el mercado existen diferentes tipos de adhesivos inertes o también conocidos como secos, de forma que el elemento que los contenga no se pega y puede ser manipulado con facilidad. Estos adhesivos pueden ser activados, por ejemplo aplicando calor, como es el caso de los adhesivos para la decoración de prendas textiles, y su aplicación nunca se ha efectuado en el sector de etiquetas autoadhesivas , y de la forma tan ventajosa como se efectúa mediante la invención.  It should be noted that in the market there are different types of inert adhesives or also known as dry, so that the element that contains them does not stick and can be easily handled. These adhesives can be activated, for example by applying heat, as is the case with adhesives for the decoration of textile garments, and their application has never been carried out in the sector of self-adhesive labels, and in the way as advantageous as it is done by means of invention.
Anteriormente, se ha comentado que las zonas que incluyen el adhesivo inerte, quedan dispuestas al menos parcialmente en correspondencia con las etiquetas impresas, por ejemplo formando franjas en la cara posterior de la etiqueta, o en puntos concretos, para reducir el gasto de adhesivo, pero la invención también contempla la posibilidad de que el adhesivo inerte se aplique en toda la zona correspondiente a la etiqueta impresa.  Previously, it has been commented that the areas that include the inert adhesive, are arranged at least partially in correspondence with the printed labels, for example forming stripes on the back side of the label, or at specific points, to reduce the cost of adhesive, but the invention also contemplates the possibility that the inert adhesive be applied throughout the area corresponding to the printed label.
Además la invención se refiere a un procedimiento de aplicación de las etiquetas de acuerdo con la bobina descrita anteriormente, que se caracteriza porque comprende una fase en la que se tracciona de la banda soporte para iniciar su desenrollado, haciéndola pasar por un cilindro. A continuación se detecta la zona a cortar para obtener una etiqueta, se corta la etiqueta y se succiona para mantenerla sobre la superficie del cilindro. Seguidamente se activan las zonas de adhesivo inertes de la etiqueta, y se aplica la cara de la etiqueta con el adhesivo activado sobre el producto, de modo que se pega la etiqueta sobre el mismo. In addition, the invention relates to a method of applying the labels according to the coil described above, characterized in that it comprises a phase in which the support strip is pulled to start its unwinding, by passing it through a cylinder. The area to be cut is then detected to obtain a label, the label is cut and suctioned to keep it on the surface of the cylinder. Then the inert areas of the label are activated, and the face of the label is applied with the activated adhesive on the product, so that the label is glued thereon.
La fase de activación del adhesivo inerte, comprende la aplicación de calor, rayos ultravioleta o agua, y obviamente cualquier otra aplicación que devuelva las propiedades adhesivas al mismo para permitir su adherencia sobre el producto a etiquetar.  The activation phase of the inert adhesive comprises the application of heat, ultraviolet rays or water, and obviously any other application that returns the adhesive properties thereto to allow its adhesion on the product to be labeled.
Además el procedimiento de la invención comprende una fase en la que se efectúa la detección de la banda, el adhesivo inerte, la etiqueta, una marca, o de cualquier combinación de las anteriores, para efectuar la fase de corte de la etiqueta.  In addition, the process of the invention comprises a phase in which the detection of the band, the inert adhesive, the label, a mark, or any combination of the foregoing, is carried out to effect the cutting phase of the label.
El procedimiento descrito ha sido pensado para su uso en bobina para facilitar la manipulación del producto pero también podría realizarse partiendo de etiquetas precortadas y dispuestas en un mecanismo de apilado de etiquetas de un dispositivo de aplicación de etiquetas automático, de acuerdo con la etiqueta que será descrita posteriormente .  The described procedure has been designed for use in coil to facilitate the handling of the product but it could also be done starting from pre-cut labels and arranged in a label stacking mechanism of an automatic label application device, according to the label that will be described later.
Además la invención se refiere a un dispositivo que permite ejecutar las diferentes fases del procedimiento, para lo que dicho dispositivo comprende un elemento de tracción de la banda que constituye la bobina, de forma que efectúa el desenrollado del mismo, y lo aplica sobre un cilindro por el que discurre la banda. También comprende un elemento de corte de la etiqueta y un elemento de succión de la etiqueta para mantenerla sobre la superficie del cilindro. Además comprende un elemento de activación del adhesivo inerte, y una cinta transportadora, por la que discurre el producto a etiquetar, sobre el que se aplica la cara de la banda con adhesivo; de forma que la etiqueta se adhiere al producto, efectuando su etiquetado. In addition, the invention relates to a device that allows the different phases of the process to be executed, for which said device comprises a tensile element of the band that constitutes the coil, so that it unrolls it, and applies it on a cylinder through which the band runs. It also comprises a label cutting element and a label suction element to keep it on the surface of the cylinder. It also comprises an activation element of the inert adhesive, and a conveyor belt, through which the product to be labeled runs, on which the face of the band is applied with adhesive; so that the label adheres to the product, making its labeling.
El elemento de activación del adhesivo inerte está constituido por un elemento de calentamiento o un elemento de generación de rayos ultravioleta, agua, u obviamente cualquier otro elemento de aplicación que permita la activación del adhesivo inerte, de acuerdo con lo expresado según el procedimiento de la invención.  The activation element of the inert adhesive is constituted by a heating element or an element for generating ultraviolet rays, water, or obviously any other application element that allows the activation of the inert adhesive, according to what is expressed according to the procedure of the invention.
En una realización de la invención, el dispositivo de la invención comprende al menos un sensor de detección de la banda, del adhesivo inerte, de una etiqueta, de una marca o de cualquier combinación de los anteriores para realizar el corte de la etiqueta.  In one embodiment of the invention, the device of the invention comprises at least one sensor for detecting the band, the inert adhesive, a label, a brand or any combination of the foregoing for cutting the label.
En una realización de la invención, el elemento de activación del adhesivo queda dispuesto en el interior del cilindro, pero también se prevé la posibilidad de que se encuentre ubicado en una posición externa al mismo.  In one embodiment of the invention, the activation element of the adhesive is arranged inside the cylinder, but it is also provided that it is located in a position external to it.
Según fue descrito, para permitir realizar el procedimiento partiendo de etiquetas precortadas, la etiqueta comprende zonas de impresión de un determinado motivo, y su cara contraria comprende al menos una zona en la que incluye un adhesivo inerte. En este caso el dispositivo de aplicación de etiquetas automático comprende un mecanismo de apilado de etiquetas precortadas, el cilindro en el que se sitúa la etiqueta, el elemento de succión de la etiqueta para mantenerla sobre la superficie del cilindro, el elemento de activación del adhesivo inerte, y la cinta transportadora por la que discurre el producto a etiquetar, sobre el que se aplica la cara con adhesivo para adherir la etiqueta sobre dicho producto tras activar el adhesivo inerte. En este caso el procedimiento comprende realizar el apilado de las etiquetas precortadas, extraer la primera etiqueta de la pila, succionar la etiqueta sobre la superficie del cilindro, activar las zonas de adhesivo inertes de la etiqueta, y aplicar la cara de la etiqueta con el adhesivo activado sobre el producto, de modo que se pega la etiqueta sobre el mismo. As described, in order to allow the procedure to be carried out starting from pre-cut labels, the label comprises printing areas of a certain motif, and its opposite face comprises at least one area in which it includes an inert adhesive. In this case, the automatic label application device comprises a mechanism for stacking pre-cut labels, the cylinder in which the label is placed, the suction element of the label to keep it on the surface of the cylinder, the adhesive activation element inert, and the conveyor belt through which the product to be labeled runs, on which the face is applied with adhesive to adhere the label on said product after activating the inert adhesive. In this case the procedure includes stacking the pre-cut labels, removing the first label from the stack, sucking the label onto the surface of the cylinder, activating the areas of inert adhesive on the label, and apply the face of the label with the activated adhesive on the product, so that the label is glued on it.
El procedimiento es el mismo que en la bobina con la salvedad de que en lugar de existir una bobina de etiquetas y un equipo de corte, en este caso las etiquetas ya están precortadas y apiladas y tenemos un dispositivo (existente en el mercado) que las toma de una en una y las introduce en el cilindro de absorción para ser activado el adhesivo.  The procedure is the same as in the coil with the proviso that instead of having a label coil and cutting equipment, in this case the labels are already pre-cut and stacked and we have a device (existing in the market) that Take one at a time and insert them into the absorption cylinder to activate the adhesive.
Por tanto, mediante la invención se obtiene un producto más ecológico y de un coste muy reducido, al tiempo que aumenta la eficacia al tener que controlar menos factores, tanto en la fabricación de la bobina, como en su aplicación para efectuar el etiquetado.  Therefore, by means of the invention, a more ecological and very low cost product is obtained, while increasing the efficiency by having to control fewer factors, both in the manufacture of the coil, and in its application to effect the labeling.
Además la invención proporciona un abaratamiento del transporte en volumen y peso y un aumento de la productividad debido a que las bobinas contienen más metros y por tanto más unidades de etiquetas, lo cual evita paradas y mermas por cambio de bobina.  In addition, the invention provides a reduction in transport in volume and weight and an increase in productivity due to the fact that the reels contain more meters and therefore more units of labels, which avoids stops and losses due to change of reel.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA FORMA. DE REALIZACIÓN PREFERIDA  DESCRIPTION OF THE FORM. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
A continuación se realiza una descripción de la invención basada en las figuras anteriormente comentadas.  Below is a description of the invention based on the figures mentioned above.
La bobina de la invención está constituida por una banda 1 que en una de cuyas caras comprende zonas de impresión 2 del motivo de las diferentes etiquetas 3, y su cara contraria comprende zonas en las que se incluye un adhesivo inerte 4. En el ejemplo de realización las zonas de adhesivo inerte 4, están constituidas por diferentes franjas que están ubicadas en correspondencia con la etiqueta 3, para ahorrar adhesivo inerte, pero también cabe la posibilidad de que la zona de adhesivo inerte 4 se corresponda exactamente con las dimensiones de la etiqueta 3. En el ejemplo de realización la zona de impresión 2 también se corresponde exactamente con la etiqueta 3.  The coil of the invention is constituted by a band 1 which in one of whose faces comprises printing areas 2 of the motif of the different labels 3, and its opposite face comprises areas in which an inert adhesive 4 is included. In the example of realization of the zones of inert adhesive 4, are constituted by different strips that are located in correspondence with the label 3, to save inert adhesive, but it is also possible that the zone of inert adhesive 4 corresponds exactly to the dimensions of the label 3. In the exemplary embodiment, the printing zone 2 also corresponds exactly to the label 3.
La bobina descrita se aplica a un mecanismo de aplicación de las etiquetas 3 sobre un producto 10, el cual comprende un mecanismo de tracción 5, como por ejemplo pueden ser rodillos tractores, que tiran de la banda 1 para efectuar su desenrollado y se aplica a un cilindro 8 sobre el que discurre la banda 1.  The described coil is applied to a mechanism for applying the labels 3 on a product 10, which comprises a pulling mechanism 5, such as traction rollers, which pull the band 1 to perform its unwinding and is applied to a cylinder 8 on which the band 1 runs.
Además, el dispositivo está dotado de unos sensores 6 que detectan el desenrollado de la banda 1 y también detectan una marca 12 para realizar el corte de la etiqueta 3, mediante un elemento de corte 7.  In addition, the device is provided with sensors 6 that detect the unwinding of the band 1 and also detect a mark 12 for cutting the label 3, by means of a cutting element 7.
Se prevén medios de succión de la etiqueta 3 convencionales (no representados) para succionarla 13 y mantener la etiqueta sobre la superficie del cilindro 8.  Conventional labeling means 3 (not shown) are provided for suctioning it 13 and keeping the label on the surface of the cylinder 8.
El cilindro 8, está dispuesto de forma que la etiqueta cortada 3 se aplica sobre el producto 10, el cual se encuentra dispuesto sobre una cinta transportadora 11. La succión 13 de la etiqueta sobre el rodillo 8 se mantiene hasta que dicha etiqueta contacta con el producto 10. The cylinder 8 is arranged so that the cut label 3 is applied on the product 10, which is arranged on a conveyor belt 11. The Suction 13 of the label on the roller 8 is maintained until said label contacts the product 10.
Durante el trayecto en el que la etiqueta está retenida sobre la superficie del cilindro 8, se encuentra un elemento 9 de activación del adhesivo inerte, como por ejemplo puede ser un elemento que genera calor, que aplica calor sobre las zonas 4 del adhesivo inerte, lo que devuelve las propiedades adhesivas al mismo. En el ejemplo de realización el elemento 9 se encuentra dispuesto en una ubicación externa al cilindro 8, pero también puede estar ubicado en el interior del mismo, lo cual se ha representado mediante trazos. En consecuencia el adhesivo activado se pega sobre la superficie del producto 10, quedando la etiqueta 3 adherida al mismo.  During the path in which the label is retained on the surface of the cylinder 8, an inert adhesive activation element 9 is found, such as for example a heat generating element, which applies heat on the areas 4 of the inert adhesive, which returns the adhesive properties to it. In the exemplary embodiment, element 9 is arranged in a location external to cylinder 8, but it can also be located inside it, which has been represented by strokes. Consequently, the activated adhesive is glued on the surface of the product 10, the label 3 remaining adhered thereto.
