Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zur multifunktionalen Folienprägung. Insbesondere betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Vorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zur multifunktionalen Prägung von Versiegelungsfolien für Verpackungen.The present invention relates to a device and a method for multifunctional film embossing. In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for multifunctional embossing of sealing films for packaging.
Versiegelungsfolien werden in der Verpackungsindustrie für eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Produkte verwendet, beispielsweise als Verschluss für entsprechende Verpackungsbehälter wie Becher oder Boxen. Dabei werden die Versiegelungsfolien oftmals durch Ausstanzen entsprechender Formen aus einem bandförmigen Material erhalten. Bei dem dabei verwendeten Material kann es sich beispielsweise um Aluminiumfolie, Kunststofffolie, oder Verbundmaterialien aus Kunststoff und Aluminium handeln. Oftmals ist das Material dabei zumindest einseitig oder beidseitig bedruckt. Zum Verschluss von Verpackungsbehältern werden die Versiegelungsfolien auf die Behälter aufgeklebt oder aufgeschweißt. Hierzu können die Folien auf der dem Verpackungsbehälter zugewandten Seite beispielsweise eine Heißsiegellackschicht aufweisen.Sealing films are used in the packaging industry for a variety of different products, for example, as a closure for appropriate packaging containers such as cups or boxes. In this case, the sealing films are often obtained by punching appropriate shapes of a strip-shaped material. The material used may be, for example, aluminum foil, plastic film, or composite materials made of plastic and aluminum. Often the material is printed on at least one or both sides. To seal packaging containers, the sealing films are glued or welded onto the containers. For this purpose, the films on the side facing the packaging container, for example, have a heat sealing lacquer layer.
Nach dem Ausstanzen einer der zu verschließenden Öffnung des Verpackungsbehälter entsprechenden Form aus dem Bandmaterial werden die erhaltenen Formstücke in der Regel gestapelt. Zum Verschießen der Verpackungsbehälter werden die z.B. als Deckel vorgesehenen Formstücke dem Stapel mit geeigneten Greifsystemen, wie beispielsweise Vakuumgreifern, entnommen und auf der zu verschließenden Öffnung des Verpackungsbehälters angeordnet. In Abhängigkeit des benutzten Klebesystems, wie z.B. Heißsiegellack, werden die als Deckel vorgesehenen Formstücke dann unter Einwirkung von Druck und/oder Wärme mit dem Verpackungsbehälter verbunden.After punching one of the opening to be closed of the packaging container corresponding shape of the strip material, the resulting fittings are usually stacked. To shoot the packaging container, for example, as a lid provided shaped pieces the stack with suitable gripping systems, such as vacuum grippers, removed and arranged on the opening to be closed of the packaging container. Depending on the adhesive system used, such as heat seal lacquer, the fittings provided as a lid are then connected to the packaging container under the action of pressure and / or heat.
Zur Vermeidung, dass beim Abheben der Formstücke vom Stapel mehrere Formstücke aneinanderhaften ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, die Formstücke im Randbereich mit einer Prägung zu versehen, durch welche ein Aneinanderhaften der einzelnen Formstücke vermieden wird. Weitere Zwecke erfüllt eine solche Prägung nicht.In order to avoid that several moldings stick together when lifting off the shaped pieces from the stack, it is known from the prior art to provide the shaped pieces with an embossing in the edge region, by means of which adhering of the individual shaped pieces is avoided. Further purposes do not fulfill such a coinage.
Vorrichtungen und Verfahren zur Prägung von Versiegelungsfolien sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. So offenbart beispielsweise die
Ebenso offenbart die
Ein Nachteil der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verfahren und Vorrichtungen ist es, dass eine zur Trennung der Formstücke (Deckel) eingesetzte Prägung sich bei Verkleben und/oder Verschweißen gegebenenfalls nachteilig auf die Haftung zwischen Verpackungsbehälter und Formstück auswirkt.A disadvantage of the methods and devices known from the prior art is that an embossing used for the separation of the shaped pieces (lid) may have an adverse effect on the adhesion between the packaging container and the shaped piece during bonding and / or welding.
Ein weiterer Nachteil der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Systeme ist es, dass es zum Wechsel des Prägemusters notwendig ist, dass gesamte Prägewerkzeug, bei dem es sich üblicher Weise um eine Prägematrize ggf. in Kombination mit einer Prägepatrize handelt, ausgetauscht werden muss, was einerseits mit einem erhöhten Zeitaufwand, andererseits mit einem erhöhten Kostenaufwand einhergeht.A further disadvantage of the systems known from the prior art is that it is necessary for the change of the embossing pattern that the entire embossing tool, which is usually an embossing die, possibly in combination with an embossing die, has to be replaced, which is accompanied on the one hand with an increased expenditure of time, on the other hand with an increased cost.
Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Vorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren anzugeben, mit welchen in einfacher Weise eine multifunktionale Folienprägung ermöglicht wird.Against this background, it is the object of the present invention to provide a device and a method with which a multifunctional embossing of foil is made possible in a simple manner.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1 sowie ein Verfahren gemäß unabhängigen Anspruch 8.This object is achieved by a device according to claim 1 and a method according to independent claim 8.
Mit der Erfindung wird Vorrichtung zur multifunktionalen Prägung von Folien vorgeschlagen, welche ein Grundprägeelement, eine Aufhahmebereich, sowie ein innerhalb des Aufnahmebereichs lösbar angeordnetes Wechselprägeelement aufweist, wobei das lösbar angeordneten Wechselprägeelemente ein eine haptisch wahrnehmbare Information vermittelndes Prägebild aufweist.The invention proposes a device for multifunctional embossing of films which has a base embossing element, a receiving region, and a replaceable embossing element detachably arranged within the receiving region, wherein the replaceably arranged replaceable embossing elements has an embossing image conveying haptic perceptible information.
Durch das vorsehen eines Prägebildes mit einer haptisch wahrnehmbaren Information wird die so erzeugte Prägung in vorteilhafter Weise multifunktionalisiert, so dass die erzeugte Prägung zum einer zur Informationswahrnehmung zum anderen zur Vereinzelung bei der Abstapelung von gestanzten Versiegelungsfolien dient. Hierdurch kann beispielsweise auf das vorsehen eines Prägemusters im Bereich des Versiegelungsrandes des Versiegelungsfolie verzichtet werden, um so eine optimierte Versiegelung beim aufbringen des Versiegelungsfolie auf die Verpackung sicherzustellen.By providing an embossed image with a haptic perceptible information, the embossing thus produced is advantageously multifunctionalized, so that the embossing used for one for the purpose of information perception on the other hand serves for singling in the stacking of stamped sealing films. As a result, it is possible, for example, to dispense with the provision of an embossing pattern in the region of the sealing edge of the sealing film so as to ensure optimized sealing when the sealing film is applied to the packaging.
Insbesondere kann durch die so vorgesehene multifunktionalisierte Prägung eine Versiegelungsfolie für Verpackungen bereitgestellt werden, welche es sehbeeinträchtigten Personen ermöglicht, in vereinfachter Weise Informationen über den Inhalt des in der Verpackung befindlichen Produktes zu erhalten. Solche Informationen wurden bisher nur auf Umverpackungskartonagen, wie beispielsweise Arzneimittelumverpackungen bereitgestellt.In particular, the multifunctional embossing thus provided can provide a sealing film for packaging which allows visually impaired persons to obtain information about the contents of the product in the package in a simplified manner. Such information has heretofore been provided only on overwrapping cartons, such as drug reshapings.
Der Verlust der Umverpackung führt dabei jedoch auch zum Verlust der haptisch wahrnehmbaren Informationen.However, the loss of the outer packaging also leads to the loss of haptic perceptible information.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Vorrichtung Fixiermittel zur lösbaren Festlegung des Wechselprägeelementes aufweist. Hierdurch ist ein einfacher Wechsel des Wechselprägeelementes und somit ein einfacher Austausch der mit dem Wechselprägeelement bereitgestellten haptisch Wahrnehmbaren Information möglich. Als Fixiermittel sind dabei insbesondere solche Elemente geeignet, welche eine kraftschlüssige und/oder formschlüssige Festlegung des Wechselprägeelementes am Grundprägeelement ermöglichen, wie beispielsweise Schraubklemmelemente oder Verschraubungen.According to one embodiment of the invention, the device has fixing means for releasably fixing the replaceable embossing element. As a result, a simple change of the change embossing element and thus a simple exchange of provided with the change embossing element haptic perceptible information is possible. In particular, such elements are suitable as a fixing, which allow a frictional and / or positive fixing of the change-stamping element on the basic embossing element, such as Schraubklemmelemente or fittings.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Vorrichtung einen Aufnahmebereich auf, welcher zur Aufnahme eine Mehrzahl von Wechselprägeelementen ausgelegt ist. Hierdurch können beispielsweise mehrere Braille-Zeichen oder Piktogramme in Wahrnehmungsrichtung hintereinander angeordnet werden, wodurch der vermittelte Informationsgehalt erhöht werden kann.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the device has a receiving area, which is designed to receive a plurality of replaceable embossing elements. As a result, for example, a plurality of braille characters or pictograms can be arranged one behind the other in the direction of perception, whereby the mediated information content can be increased.
Ergänzend sowie alternativ kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das Grundprägeelement mehrere Aufnahmebereiche für Wechselprägeelemente aufweist.Additionally and alternatively, it can be provided that the basic embossing element has a plurality of receiving areas for changing embossing elements.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind das Grundprägeelement und das Wechselprägeelement als Matrize ausgebildet und die Vorrichtung weist eine hinsichtlich des Prägebildes des Grundprägeelementes invertierte Grundpatrize auf, welche einen Aufnahmebereich sowie ein innerhalb eines Aufnahmebereichs lösbar angeordnetes Wechselpatrizenelement aufweist. Das Wechselpatrzienelement weist dabei ein hinsichtlich des Prägebildes des Wechselprägeelementes invertiertes Prägebild auf. Bevorzugt sind dabei Grundprägeelement und die Grundpatrize zueinander ausrichtbar angeordnet.In accordance with a further embodiment of the invention, the basic embossing element and the replaceable embossing element are designed as dies and the device has a base male inverted with respect to the embossed image of the embossing element, which has a receiving area and a detachable male element detachably arranged within a receiving area. The Wechselpatrzienelement in this case has a respect to the embossed image of the change embossment element inverted embossing image. In this case, the base embossing element and the base male are preferably arranged so that they can be aligned with one another.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist diese eine Prägeplatte auf, welche eine Mehrzahl von Grundprägeelementen umfasst. Sofern eine Patrize vorgesehen ist weist die Vorrichtung dem entsprechend eine Patrizenplatte auf, welche eine Mehrzahl von Grundpatrizen (210) umfasst. Hierdurch ist es möglich, in einem Prägezug eine Mehrzahl Deckelfolie zu prägen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, this has an embossing plate, which comprises a plurality of basic embossing elements. If a male is provided points the device accordingly has a patrix plate comprising a plurality of base patrices (210). This makes it possible to emboss a plurality of cover film in a stamping train.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Wechselprägeelemente und/oder Wechselpatrizenelemente derart ausgebildet und/oder derart in dem Grundprägeelement/Grundpatrizenelement angeordnet sind, dass das mit einem ersten Grundprägeelement/Grundpatrizenelement erhaltene Prägebild zu dem mit einem weiteren Grundprägeelement/Grundpatrizenelement erhaltenem Prägebild nicht identisch ist. Hierdurch wird in vorteilhafter Weise eine weitere Funktionalität der Prägung bzw. des Prägebildes erreicht, wobei im Fall der Abstapelung aufeinanderzuliegen kommende Folien mit unterschiedlichem Prägebild durch die Unterschiede im Prägebild einen hinreichenden Abstand zu einander haben, um beim Aufnehmen eine Vereinzelung der Folien zu erreichen. Nicht identische Prägebilder im Sinne dieser Erfindung sind dabei beispielsweise Prägebilder die sich in ihrer jeweiligen Relativausrichtung zum Druckbild oder im Prägemuster voneinander unterscheiden. Hinsichtlich der Relativausrichtung kann dabei im Sinne der Erfindung bereits ein Unterschied von ≥0,1 mm, vorzugsweise ≥0,2 mm, insbesondere ≥0,3 mm ausreichend sein.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the interchangeable embossing elements and / or interchangeable die elements are arranged and / or arranged in the embossing element / Grundpatrizenelement that received with a first embossment element / Grundpatrizenelement embossed image to that with another basic embossment element / Grundpatrizenelement received impression image is not identical. In this way, a further functionality of the embossing or the embossed image is achieved in an advantageous manner, wherein in the case of stacking successive slides with different embossing image by the differences in the embossing image have a sufficient distance from each other to achieve a separation of the films when recording. Non-identical embossing images in the sense of this invention are, for example, embossed images which differ from one another in their respective relative orientation to the printed image or in the embossing pattern. With regard to the relative orientation, a difference of ≥ 0.1 mm, preferably ≥ 0.2 mm, in particular ≥ 0.3 mm, may already be sufficient within the meaning of the invention.
