Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of label processing equipment technology, and more specifically to a multifunctional label processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Self-adhesive labels offer advantages over traditional labels, including no need for glue, paste, or water, zero pollution, and time-saving application. They are widely applicable and convenient. Self-adhesive labels are a composite material made of paper, film, or other special materials as the face stock, coated with adhesive on the back, and with silicone-coated release paper as the backing. After printing and die-cutting, they become finished labels. To ensure better ink absorption and print quality, the surface of the film material undergoes treatment during production to alter its properties; this typically includes corona treatment, coating treatment, and anti-static treatment.

[0003] However, all of the above processing techniques require the purchase of specialized equipment. For users, a single device can only perform one function, resulting in low usage frequency and long idle time, affecting its practicality. Moreover, when a label requires multiple processing techniques, staff need to control and adjust multiple devices, making it cumbersome to use. Furthermore, each device needs to have a label conveying device to ensure the continuity of label processing, increasing costs and occupying a large amount of space. If a label needs to undergo multiple processes, the user needs to roll up the processed label and place it on another device for the next process, making adjustments cumbersome and reducing label processing efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1-13 As shown, this embodiment discloses a multifunctional label processing device, including a housing 1, on which an inlet 2 and an outlet 3 are provided; the housing 1 is provided with a conveying mechanism 4 and a dust removal mechanism 6, a corona discharge mechanism 5, a coating mechanism 7, an antistatic component 8, and a temperature and humidity control component 9, which are sequentially distributed along the path of the conveying mechanism 4; it also includes a control module electrically connected to the above-mentioned mechanisms; through the control module, the above-mentioned mechanisms can be individually controlled; such as Figure 1As shown, the control module includes a control panel mounted on the surface of the housing 1, through which individual control operations can be performed on the internal mechanisms. The conveying mechanism 4 connects to one end of the label roll and pulls the label roll along the conveying path, sequentially passing through a dust removal mechanism 6, a corona treatment mechanism 5, a coating mechanism 7, and an antistatic component 8. The dust removal mechanism 6 cleans dust and impurities from the label surface; the corona treatment mechanism 5 performs corona treatment on the label surface; the coating mechanism 7 applies a coating to the label surface; and the antistatic component 8 removes static electricity from the label surface. The module also includes a temperature and humidity control component 9, which, under the control of the control module, controls the temperature and humidity inside the housing 1. This component includes a temperature and humidity sensor, a hot and cold air blower, a humidifier, and a dehumidifier, all electrically connected to the control module.

[0034] like Figure 2-4 As shown in Figures 7-12, the conveying mechanism 4 includes mounting slots 41 on both sides of the housing 1. A transmission chain 42 connecting a drive device 43 is disposed within the mounting slot 41. The drive device 43 consists of multiple synchronously connected drive gears and driven gears. One of the drive gears is connected to a motor connected to a control module. The control module can control the motor to drive back and forth. A take-up roller 44 is disposed between a pair of transmission chains 42, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the take-up roller 44 includes sleeves connected to both ends of the housing and a roller body located between a pair of sleeves. The sleeves are two separable semi-cylinders that can be fixed with bolts. The end of the roller body can be fixed between the two semi-cylinders, which facilitates the disassembly of the roller body. Clamping plates are oscillating on both sides of the roller body. The clamping plates can clamp one end of the roll material, so that the take-up roller 44 can be fixedly connected to one end of the label. The transmission chain 42 can drive the take-up roller 44 to move along the path to the discharge port position, so that when the operator installs or replaces the label roll material, it is not necessary to manually pull the roll material to control the travel path of the roll material, thereby facilitating the installation of the roll material and improving efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 4-5 As shown in Figures 11-12, a locking element 45 is provided between the take-up roller 44 and the transmission chain 42; the locking element 45 includes a connecting frame 451 that is slidably connected to the housing 1 and corresponds to the mounting groove 41. The connecting frame is rotatably connected to the sleeve. The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a sliding groove. One end of the connecting frame 451 is provided with a pulley that is slidably connected to the sliding groove; thereby, it can support the take-up roller and ensure the stability of the take-up roller during movement.

[0036] The take-up roller 44 is fitted with a locking sleeve 453 at one end. One end of the locking sleeve 453 has an insertion hole that can be inserted into a pin on the transmission chain 42 to achieve a transmission connection between the locking sleeve and the transmission chain 42. The other end is rotatably connected to a driven wheel 454 that is in transmission cooperation with the drive member 47. The driven wheel 454 has a toothed groove 455 circumferentially arranged on its inner side. The take-up roller 44 is provided with a toothed block 456 that can engage with the toothed groove 455. The drive member 47 and the take-up roller 44 can be connected through the toothed groove 455 and the toothed block 456. The locking sleeve 453 is also provided with a drive plate 452, which can be abutted against the separation component. The drive member 47 includes a drive gear connected to a rotating motor, and the drive gear can mesh with the driven wheel 454.

[0037] like Figure 10 As shown, the transmission chain 42 includes rollers slidably disposed in the grooves, and the rollers are clamped between the grooves, thereby supporting the weight of the take-up roller 44.

[0038] like Figure 4-5 As shown in Figures 9-12, the system also includes a guide bar 457 mounted on the drive plate 452 and a separation assembly 46 located at the discharge port 3 and the inlet 2. The separation assembly 46 cooperates with the locking member 45 to disengage the locking member 45 from the transmission chain 42. The separation mechanism includes a separation guide rail 461 located at the inlet 2 and the discharge port 3, and a guide portion 462 that allows the guide bar 457 to slide onto the separation guide rail 461. When the transmission chain 42 drives the take-up roller 44 to move to the discharge port or the inlet, the guide bar 457 on the drive plate 452 slides along the guide portion 462 onto the separation guide rail 461, and the separation guide rail 461 controls the drive plate 452 to gradually move away from the housing. The wall allows the locking sleeve 453 on the drive plate 452 to disengage from the transmission chain 42, thereby stopping the take-up roller at the discharge port position. The disengagement of the transmission chain from the take-up roller prevents the transmission chain from moving forward again after reaching the designated position due to inertia during the movement, thus preventing the take-up roller from continuing to move forward. At the same time, the toothed groove of the driven wheel 454 at one end of the locking sleeve 453 will mesh with the toothed block 456 on the take-up roller 44 under the drive of the locking sleeve 453, and the toothed block on the outer side of the driven wheel 454 will mesh with the drive gear on the drive component 47. This allows the drive gear to drive the take-up roller to rotate, thereby winding up the label roll and moving the front label along the path to achieve the processing of the label surface.

[0039] The guide bar 457 is provided with an arc-shaped contact surface, and the separation guide rail 461 is provided with a positioning groove 10 that matches the contact surface; the positioning groove 10 and the contact surface can fix the position of the guide bar, thus preventing the lock sleeve from rotating; when it is necessary to re-engage the take-up roller with the drive chain, so that the drive chain drives the take-up roller to move in the opposite direction to the feed port, it is only necessary to push the take-up roller from which the label material is removed to disengage it from the separation component, so that the lock sleeve will re-engage with the drive chain under the action of the spring.

[0040] It also includes a conveyor roller set at the feed inlet 2, which can convey the roll forward; through the above structure, the label roll can move along the mechanism path after installation, and the label movement path can be set, so that the staff does not need to manually pull and control the label and adjust its movement path, saving time and improving efficiency.

[0041] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the corona treatment mechanism 5 includes a corona device 51 installed inside the housing 1. The corona device 51 is an existing device. A suction hood 52 is installed around the corona device 51. The suction hood 52 is connected to a gas collection box 53 with a suction fan. An ultraviolet lamp 54 is installed inside the gas collection box 53. The fan and the ultraviolet lamp 54 are electrically connected to the control module. When the control module controls the suction fan to rotate intermittently, the gas collection box 53 will absorb and collect the ozone generated during the corona treatment. At the same time, the ultraviolet lamp 54 can decompose the collected ozone, thereby preventing the ozone in the housing from being discharged into the outside environment and polluting it. At the same time, the gas collection box 53 is also equipped with an exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve that is electrically connected to the control module. When the suction fan rotates, the solenoid valve is in the closed state, and the gas collection box collects ozone. When the suction fan stops, the ultraviolet lamp 54 decomposes the ozone. After a period of time, the solenoid valve opens, thereby releasing the decomposed gas in the gas collection box 53.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the dust removal mechanism 6 includes a suction chamber 61 located at the feed inlet 2, with a suction port 62 on the suction chamber 61 facing the label surface and equipped with a blower 66. The blower enables the label roll to adsorb dust from the label surface when it enters the feed inlet 2, thereby achieving dust removal. It also includes an air inlet 63 located on the housing 1, with a filter screen 64 and a fan 65 connected to it. The fan 65 and the blower 66 are electrically connected to the control module. The air inlet and the blower 65 can fill the housing 1 with clean air, and the air filled by the blower 65 is more than the air discharged by the blower, thereby maintaining positive pressure inside the housing 1 and reducing the entry of external dust.

[0043] In this embodiment, the coating mechanism 7 includes a raw material box 71 and a coating roller 72 disposed in the box 1. The coating roller 72 is rotatably connected to the box 1 and is disposed corresponding to the opening 73 of the raw material box 71. It also includes an adjusting roller 74 corresponding to the coating roller 72. The adjusting roller 74 is connected to a driving mechanism and can slide up and down in the box 1.

[0044] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a guide groove 741 disposed on one side of the inner wall of the housing 1, and a lead screw 742 rotatably connected in the guide groove 741; it also includes a lifting shaft 743 slidably disposed in the guide groove 741, with one end threadedly connected to the lead screw 742 and the other end slidably connected to the housing, an adjusting roller 74 sleeved on the lifting shaft 743, and a drive gear 744 fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting roller 74; it also includes a drive motor 745 fixedly disposed on the lifting shaft 743 and electrically connected to the control module, and a gear meshing with the drive gear 744 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 745; the coating roller 72 can coat the label surface with a coating; and the adjusting roller can slide up and down under the action of the driving mechanism and the lead screw 742 to adjust the distance between the adjusting roller and the coating roller 72, thereby controlling the distance between the coating and the label surface.

[0045] It also includes an antistatic component 8, which can be an ion fan or an antistatic device for a printing press as disclosed in patent number (CN214395922U).

[0046] It also includes guide rollers that are elastically slidably disposed between the housings 1. The guide rollers can control the direction of movement of the label roll and maintain tension. At the same time, the guide rollers can slide up and down elastically, so that they can move under the action of the take-up roller, allowing the take-up roller to pass smoothly.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
