Description

Detailed Description of the Invention "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention is directed to attaching a label to the vertical side surface of a bundle placed on a rotary table and binding the bundle with tape. The present invention relates to a label binding method for bundled articles in which labels are also bound together, and an apparatus therefor.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, for example, a label indicating the quality, size, etc. of the electric wire is attached to a ring-shaped bundle such as a ring-shaped bundle of electric wires using an adhesive. Another method was to attach a label to the top of the bundle.

However, if the label is attached with adhesive,
If the bundled items are handled roughly at the site,
The label often separates from the bundle or is damaged, rendering it useless as a label.

In addition, when attaching labels to the top surface of a bundle, first stack a large number of labels horizontally, take out the stacked labels one by one from the top surface, and then bundle them horizontally. It is quite natural to attach it to the top surface of something, and usually always
This method has been adopted. In this case, however, the bundles are very often stacked one above the other during their handling. When the bundles are stacked one above the other, the labels attached horizontally to the top of the bundles are often hidden and cannot be seen, making the labels useless.

Also, as a binding machine, it is extremely easy to stack labels horizontally, take out the labels horizontally one by one, and paste or attach them horizontally to the bundled object, but other than this, In this method, the label becomes difficult to handle and the device itself cannot be easily configured.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" As described above, the present invention provides that attaching a label to a bundle or attaching a label to the horizontal surface of a bundle may cause peeling and damage of the label. , we have improved the shortcomings such as the fact that in many cases it is not possible to see the label itself, which is intended to check the quality of the bundled item, at any time.
Once a label is attached, we have devised a method and device for attaching it so that it will not fall off no matter how it is handled and can always be checked. This is what I did.

"Means for Solving the Problems" According to the present invention, labels are stacked and placed on a label support stand.

The label on this label support base is adsorbed by a label adsorption transfer device, and held at a position across the tape on the binding surface of the binding machine, which is a vertical surface.

Next, the binding machine is moved to the vertical side of the bundle placed on the rotary table, and the binding surface presses the label against the side of the bundle.

This is a label binding method for bundled items in which the labels are also bundled together with the binding of the items using tape, and a rotary table is provided on the fixed table.

A bundled article is placed on a rotary table, and a binding machine is provided so as to be able to move forward and backward so that a binding surface formed as a vertical surface of the binding machine can be brought into contact with a vertical side surface of the bundled article.

In addition, a label support stand with overlapping labels is provided on the machine frame, and a label suction transfer device equipped with a suction pad that can move forward and backward with respect to this label support stand is installed so that it can move forward and backward between the bundled items and the binding surface of the binding machine. The present invention also provides a label binding device for bundled articles, which makes it possible to hold the labels suctioned by the suction pad on the binding surface of a binding machine.

``Operation'' A ring-shaped bundle of wires is placed on a rotary table above a fixed table. Then, by moving the suction pad of the label suction transfer device forward and backward against the labels stacked on the label support base, the labels are adsorbed, and the label suction transfer device is connected to the binding surface that is perpendicular to the binding object and the binding machine. Let it advance to the middle. Then, by advancing the suction pad again and lowering the label suction transfer device, the label suctioned by the suction pad is held on the binding surface of the binding machine and the label is set on the same surface.

After retracting the label suction transfer device to its original position, the binding machine, together with the labels set therein, is advanced to the location of the bundled object on the rotary table, and the label is pressed against the vertical side of the bundled object. .

In this state, the binding machine is operated to bind the bundled items with the tape, and at the same time, the labels are also bound together.

Once this is complete, move the binding machine back to its original position.
Take out the bundle from the rotating table.
