Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tooling, and in particular to a label positioning tooling. Background Technology

[0002] Labels are typically affixed to the corners of refrigeration equipment doors. To ensure accurate label placement, a label positioning fixture with a label positioning part is usually used.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional modifications made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] In the various illustrations of this invention, for ease of illustration, certain dimensions of structures or parts may be enlarged relative to other structures or parts; therefore, only the basic structure of the subject matter of this invention is used to illustrate the invention.

[0030] In the description of the specific embodiments of the present invention, the terms "front", "back", "up", "down", "left", "right" and other indicating directions or positional relationships are all based on the position of the door relative to the user when the door is in normal use, and the side of the door facing the user is the front, and the side away from the user is the back.

[0031] This invention provides a label positioning fixture 10 for positioning a label 30 when it is affixed to the door 20 of a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device described in this invention includes refrigerators, freezers, and other equipment used for refrigerating or freezing items.

[0032] The label positioning fixture 10 includes a fixture body 11, which has a first mating surface 111 and a second mating surface 112 located on opposite sides, and an opening 113 penetrating the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 112; the fixture body 11 defines a first label positioning part 1131 and a second label positioning part 1132 on the inner wall of the opening 113.

[0033] When affixing label 30, the operator passes label 30 through opening 113 and places it at the position of the first label positioning part 1131 or the second label positioning part 1132. The position of label 30 is determined by the action of the first label positioning part 1131 or the second label positioning part 1132, thus achieving label positioning. Furthermore, after label 30 is positioned, the inner wall of opening 113 abuts against label 30, further confirming the position of label 30 and restricting its movement during the affixing process.

[0034] The tooling body 11 has a first state in which the first contact surface 111 faces the rear and a second state in which the second contact surface 112 faces the rear; when the tooling body 11 is in the first state, the position of the first label positioning part 1131 is offset from the position of the second label positioning part 1132 when the tooling body 11 is in the second state in the left-right direction and / or up-down direction.

[0035] The first and second states of the fixture body 11 are used to position two different sizes of labels 30, respectively. When the fixture body 11 is in the first state, the position of the first label positioning part 1131 is relative to the door body 20, as is the position of the second label positioning part 1132 when the fixture body 11 is in the second state. For example, taking the upper right corner of the front of the door body as the origin, the left-right direction as the X-axis, the front-back direction as the Y-axis, and the up-down direction as the Z-axis, the coordinates of the first label positioning part 1131 in the first state on the X-axis and Z-axis are different from the coordinates of the second label positioning part 1132 in the second state.

[0036] When it is necessary to affix a label 30 of the first type using the first label positioning part 1131, the label positioning fixture 10 is fitted with the door body 20, and the door body 20 is located behind the label positioning fixture 10, so that the fixture body 11 is in the first state. The label 30 is passed through the opening 113 from front to back until the rear side of the label 30 is attached to the front side of the door body 20, and the position of the label 30 is determined under the positioning action of the first label positioning part 1131.

[0037] When it is necessary to affix a second type of label 30 using the second label positioning part 1132, flip the label positioning fixture 10 so that the fixture body 11 is in the second state, pass the label 30 from front to back through the opening 113 until the rear side of the label 30 is attached to the front side of the door body 20, and the position of the label 30 is determined by the positioning action of the second label positioning part 1132.

[0038] By flipping the positioning fixture, the fixture body 11 can be switched between the first state and the second state. When the fixture body 11 is in the first state and the second state, it can position labels 30 of different specifications respectively, which improves the applicability of the label positioning fixture 10, reduces the cost, and the operation of switching the fixture body 11 between the first state and the second state is simple and convenient.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the label positioning fixture 10 further includes a first limiting portion 12 and a second limiting portion 13 connected to adjacent sides of the fixture body 11. The first limiting portion 12 and the second limiting portion 13 protrude from the first contact surface 111 and the second contact surface 112 in a direction perpendicular to the first contact surface 111 and the second contact surface 112, that is, the first limiting portion 12 and the second limiting portion 13 both protrude from the fixture body 11 in the front-back direction.

[0040] The first limiting part 12 and the second limiting part 13 are used to assemble the label positioning fixture 10 onto the door body 20 when positioning the label 30. Specifically, when the fixture body 11 is in the first state, the first limiting part 12 is located above the fixture body 11, and the second limiting part 13 is located to the side of the fixture body 11. At this time, the first limiting part 12 supports the top of the door body 20 to prevent the label positioning fixture 10 from falling off the door body 20, and the second limiting part 13 abuts against the side of the door body 20 to restrict the label positioning fixture 10 from moving in the left or right direction. When the fixture body 11 is in the second state, the second limiting part 13 is located above the fixture body 11, and the first limiting part 12 is located to the side of the fixture body 11. At this time, the second limiting part 13 supports the top of the door body 20 to prevent the label positioning fixture 10 from falling off the door body 20, and the first limiting part 12 abuts against the side of the door body 20 to restrict the label positioning fixture 10 from moving in the left or right direction.

[0041] Generally, label 30 is affixed to the upper right or upper left of door body 20. Taking label 30 affixed to the upper right of door body 20 as an example, when a first type of label 30 using the first label positioning part 1131 needs to be affixed, with the fixture body 11 in the first state, the first limiting part 12 is located above door body 20, and the second limiting part 13 is located to the right of door body 20. When a second type of label 30 using the second label positioning part 1132 needs to be affixed, with the fixture body 11 in the second state, the second limiting part 13 is located above door body 20, and the first limiting part 12 is located to the right of door body 20. If label 30 is affixed to the upper left corner of door body 20, the first limiting part 12 or the second limiting part 13 can be positioned on the left side of door body 20.

[0042] After the first limiting part 12 and the second limiting part 13 abut against the door body 20, the label positioning fixture 10 is positioned relative to the door body 20, and the staff can proceed with the next label 30 positioning operation.

[0043] After the label positioning fixture 10 is placed on the door body 20, to further prevent the label positioning fixture 10 from falling off the door body 20 or deviating from the preset position, a plurality of first magnetic elements 1111 are installed on the first contact surface 111 of the fixture body 11, and a plurality of second magnetic elements 1121 are installed on the second contact surface 112 of the fixture body 11. When the fixture body 11 is in the first state, the first magnetic elements 1111 are attracted to the door body 20; when the fixture body 11 is in the second state, the second magnetic elements 1121 are attracted to the door body 20, thereby further improving the stability of the label positioning fixture 10 assembled on the door body 20.

[0044] Furthermore, the first contact surface 111 and the second contact surface 112 of the tooling body 11 are respectively provided with grooves for receiving the first magnetic component 1111 and the second magnetic component 1121. The outer side of the first magnetic component 1111 is flush with the first contact surface 111, and the outer side of the second magnetic component 1121 is flush with the second contact surface 112. This ensures that the first magnetic component 1111 and the second magnetic component 1121 can contact the door body 20, ensuring sufficient adsorption force. It also prevents the first magnetic component 1111 and the second magnetic component 1121 from protruding out of the tooling body, causing the door body 20 to be unable to fit with the first contact surface 111 and the second contact surface 112.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the opening 113 has a first wall 1133, a second wall 1134, a third wall 1135 and a fourth wall 1136 connected at an angle in sequence, a first label positioning part 1131 is formed at the position where the first wall 1133 and the second wall 1134 intersect, and a second label positioning part 1132 is formed at the position where the third wall 1135 and the fourth wall 1136 intersect.

[0046] Specifically, the point where the first wall 1133 and the second wall 1134 intersect forms the first label positioning part 1131. The first wall 1133 and the second wall 1134 further position the label 30 and prevent the label 30 from moving by abutting its edge. The point where the third wall 1135 and the fourth wall 1136 intersect forms the second label positioning part 1132. The third wall 1135 and the fourth wall 1136 further position the label 30 and prevent the label 30 from moving by abutting its edge.

[0047] The first wall 1133 and the third wall 1135 are parallel to the first limiting part 12, and the first wall 1133 is closer to the first limiting part 12 than the third wall 1135; the second wall 1134 and the fourth wall 1136 are parallel to the second limiting part 13, and the fourth wall 1136 is closer to the second limiting part 13 than the second wall 1134. This arrangement allows the edge of the label 30, positioned by the first label positioning part 1131 or the second label positioning part 1132, to be parallel to the edge of the door body 20.

[0048] Since the first limiting part 12 and the second limiting part 13 are perpendicular to each other, the angle between the first wall 1133 and the second wall 1134 is a right angle, the angle between the second wall 1134 and the third wall 1135 is a right angle, and the angle between the third wall 1135 and the fourth wall 1136 is a right angle. The label positioning fixture 10 described in the above embodiment is suitable for labels 30 with right angles.

[0049] The tooling body 11 has a notch 114 extending to the opening 113 at its edge, and the notch 114 is located between the first wall 1133 and the fourth wall 1136. Therefore, the tooling body 11 has a near-C-shaped shape. The function of the notch 114 is to receive the end of the label 30 away from the first label positioning part 1131 or the second label positioning part 1132 when the label 30 is positioned by the first label positioning part 1131 or the second label positioning part 1132, and to prevent the label 30 from being too long to be accommodated by the opening 113.

[0050] The tooling body 11 has a first clearance area 1112 adjacent to the third wall 1135 and the fourth wall 1136 on the first mating surface 111. The side of the first clearance area 1112 closest to the third wall 1135 and the fourth wall 1136 is relatively far from the third wall 1135 and the fourth wall 1136, and is close to the second mating surface 112, thus forming a slope. When the tooling body 11 is in the second state, the first clearance area 1112 faces forward. The first clearance area 1112 facilitates the worker's fingers to avoid when pasting the label 30, and facilitates the worker to press the label 30 against the edge of the third wall 1135 and the fourth wall 1136, preventing the edge of the label 30 from lifting.

[0051] Furthermore, the tooling body 11 has a second clearance area 1122 adjacent to the first wall 1133 and the second wall 1134 on the second mating surface 112. The side of the second clearance area 1122 closest to the first wall 1133 and the second wall 1134 is relatively far away from the first wall 1133 and the second wall 1134, while the side is close to the first mating surface 111, thus forming a slope. When the tooling body 11 is in the first state, the second clearance area 1122 faces forward, which facilitates the worker's fingers to avoid when pasting the label 30, and makes it easier for the worker to press the label 30 to fit against the edges of the first wall 1133 and the second wall 1134, preventing the edges of the label 30 from lifting up.

[0052] Furthermore, the first contact surface 111 of the tooling body 11 has a first directional mark 1113, which has an arrow pointing to the second label positioning part 1132; the second contact surface 112 has a second directional mark 1123, which has an arrow pointing to the first label positioning part 1131. The first directional mark 1113 and the second directional mark 1123 remind the operator of the positions of the first label positioning part 1131 and the second label positioning part 1132, reducing the operational difficulty of the label positioning tooling 10.

[0053] Taking the label 30 affixed to the upper right side of the door 20 as an example, the specific positions of the first label positioning part 1131 and the second label positioning part 1132 during use will be explained. When the tooling body 11 is in the first state, the first label positioning part 1131 is formed at the upper left corner of the opening 113 and is located in the first position relative to the door 20, while the second label positioning part 1132 is formed at the upper right corner of the opening 113. When the tooling body 11 is in the second state, the second label positioning part 1132 is formed at the upper left corner of the opening 113 and is located in the second position relative to the door 20, while the second label positioning part 1132 is formed at the upper right corner of the opening 113. The coordinate values ​​of the second position and the first position are different in both the left-right direction and the up-down direction. The upper left corner of the label 30 is used to cooperate with either the first label positioning part 1131 or the second label positioning part 1132, and regardless of whether the tooling body 11 is in the first or second state, when the label 30 is too long, its right end extends to the position of the notch 114.

[0054] The detailed descriptions listed above are merely specific descriptions of feasible embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
