Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of label and sticker processing, and specifically to a label and sticker cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Logo stickers and trademark stickers are very common small labels. They are made of a variety of materials, including coated paper, synthetic paper, PET material, and transparent film. Customers need to choose different trademark stickers according to their products.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN215755597U discloses a sticker cutting device. It includes a frame and a feeding rack, with guide rollers on the feeding rack for conveying release paper and stickers. Along the feeding direction of the release paper and stickers, the frame is sequentially equipped with an adhesive applicator for applying tape along the length of the stickers, a punching and cutting device for cutting the stickers, a separating device for separating waste stickers and tape from the release paper, and a winding device for rewinding waste stickers.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, during the printing of the image areas on the label paper, excessive external factors can cause the image areas to be unclear. The aforementioned sticker cutting equipment is not designed with a device to detect the integrity and clarity of the image areas on the label paper in real time, thus requiring manual inspection and selection. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To improve the problem of unclear printing during the printing of image areas on label paper, this application provides a label sticker cutting device.
[0006] This application provides a label / sticker cutting device, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A label cutting device includes a power source cabinet, a label cutting machine disposed on the surface of the power source cabinet for cutting the label body, and label roller one and label roller two rotatably mounted on the surface of the power source cabinet. The label body is split into independent label paper and release paper. The label paper passes around the label roller one and label roller two. An icon inspection component is provided between the label roller one and label roller two. The icon inspection component includes a CCD vision inspection instrument disposed above the label paper. The CCD vision inspection instrument is electrically connected to a data center.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the CCD vision inspection instrument will detect the integrity and clarity of the image area of the label paper and feed the detection data back to the data center. If the integrity and clarity of the image area of the label paper are qualified, the image area of the label paper is determined to be qualified; if the integrity and clarity of the image area of the label paper are not qualified, the image area of the label paper is determined to be unqualified.
[0009] Optionally, a label punching component is provided between label roller one and label roller two, and the label punching component is located at the rear end of the label inspection component; the label punching component includes a cutting sleeve disposed above the label paper, a plurality of cutting teeth fixedly installed at the bottom end of the cutting sleeve, and a lifting cylinder fixedly installed on the surface of the power source cabinet; the output shaft of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the cutting sleeve.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, for unqualified label paper, the data center controls the lifting cylinder to drive the cutting sleeve to move vertically downward, and several cutting teeth at the bottom of the cutting sleeve pierce into the surface of the unqualified label paper and make holes.
[0011] Optionally, the end of the cutting sleeve is provided with a waste collection component, the waste collection component including a hollow sphere fixedly installed on the top of the cutting sleeve, the hollow sphere being connected to the cutting sleeve.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the waste collection component is designed to collect the cut parts of the label paper, thus keeping the label cutting device as clean as possible.
[0013] Optionally, the hollow sphere is provided with a waste blocking component, which includes a horn collar at the top of the cutting sleeve and a plurality of rubber tips at the top of the horn collar, with the ends of the plurality of rubber tips converging toward the axis of the horn collar.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, several rubber tips at the top of the horn collar open due to the influence of external force, causing the cut portion of the label paper to fall into the interior of the hollow sphere; the rubber tips at the top of the horn collar do not converge toward the axis of the cutting sleeve due to external force, so that the label paper inside the hollow sphere cannot fall back into the cutting sleeve.
[0015] Optionally, a dyeing component is provided below the label paper. The dyeing component includes a dyeing outer cylinder disposed below the label paper, a dyeing inner cylinder disposed inside the dyeing outer cylinder, a hollow disc disposed at the bottom of the dyeing outer cylinder, a dyeing sponge filling the space between the outer surface of the dyeing inner cylinder and the inner surface of the dyeing outer cylinder, and dyeing fibers disposed on the outer periphery of the cutting sleeve. The hollow disc is connected to the dye storage device and the hollow disc is connected to the dyeing sponge.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the existing dye storage device injects dye into the inside of the hollow disc through a hollow conduit. The dye inside the hollow disc fills the inside of the dyeing sponge through the dyeing conduit. The cutting teeth at the bottom of the cutting sleeve continue to slide downwards, and the bottom of the cutting sleeve pierces into the inside of the dyeing sponge. The dyeing fibers around the cutting sleeve absorb the dye in the dyeing sponge. When the cutting sleeve moves vertically upwards, the dye adheres to the outline edge of the hole in the label paper, achieving the effect of the dye clearly marking unqualified label paper.
[0017] Optionally, the dyeing inner cylinder is provided with a waste blowing component, which includes an electric air pump disposed inside the dyeing inner cylinder, and the air outlet of the electric air pump points to the inside of the cutting sleeve.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the cutting teeth at the bottom of the cutting sleeve are punched. The electric air pump blows the cut part of the label paper into the cutting sleeve through its own air outlet. Several rubber tips on the top of the horn collar open due to the airflow. When the electric air pump is turned off, the several rubber tips on the top of the horn collar are not affected by the airflow and converge toward the axis of the cutting sleeve.
[0019] Optionally, the rear end of the sticker cutting machine is provided with an auxiliary component, which includes a cutting roller rotatably mounted on the surface of the power source cabinet and a number of elastic protrusions disposed on the outer circumference of the cutting roller.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the sticker body moves to the sticker cutting machine for cutting. The sticker body moves around the periphery of the cutting roller and along the inclined upward direction. The elastic protrusions on the surface of the cutting roller facilitate the separation of the cut image area from the sticker body.
[0021] Optionally, the surface of the power source cabinet is provided with a flattening component, which includes several flattening rollers rotatably mounted on the surface of the power source cabinet. The flattening rollers are located between the icon inspection component and the sticker cutting machine, and the label paper and release paper are combined into a sticker body by the flattening rollers.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the sticker body is wound around several flattening rollers in an S-shaped curve. The separate label paper and release paper are combined into a complete sticker body by the flattening rollers. The several flattening rollers can flatten the sticker body.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. The CCD vision inspection instrument will detect the integrity and clarity of the image area on the label and feed the detection data back to the data center. If the integrity and clarity of the image area on the label are qualified, the image area of the label is deemed qualified; if the integrity and clarity of the image area on the label are not qualified, the image area of the label is deemed unqualified.
[0025] 2. The dyed fluff around the cutting sleeve absorbs the dye in the dyeing sponge. When the cutting sleeve moves vertically upward, the dye in the dyed fluff adheres to the outline edge of the hole in the label paper, achieving the effect of the dye clearly marking the unqualified label paper.
[0026] 3. Several rubber tips at the top of the horn collar open due to external force, causing the cut portion of the label paper to fall into the hollow sphere; the rubber tips at the top of the horn collar do not converge toward the axis of the cutting sleeve due to external force, preventing the label paper inside the hollow sphere from falling back into the cutting sleeve.

When the image area 17 of the label 14 moves directly above the reflective plate 26, the reflective LEDs 28 are powered on, illuminating the entire image area 17 of the label 14. The CCD vision inspection instrument 27 detects the integrity and clarity of the image area 17 of the label 14 and feeds the detection data back to the data center. If the integrity and clarity of the image area 17 of the label 14 are acceptable, then the image area 17 of the label 14 is deemed acceptable; if the integrity and clarity of the image area 17 of the label 14 are unacceptable, then the image area 17 of the label 14 is deemed unacceptable.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4A label punching component 29 for punching holes in the label paper 14 is provided between label roller 1 20 and label roller 21. The label punching component 29 is located on the side of the label inspection component 25 away from the reversing roller 12. The label punching component 29 includes a cutting sleeve 30 vertically arranged above the label paper 14 and a dyeing outer cylinder 31 vertically arranged below the label paper 14. A lifting cylinder 32 is fixedly installed vertically on the surface of the power source cabinet 11. The output shaft of the lifting cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral surface of the cutting sleeve 30 through a linear guide rod. The outer peripheral surface of the dyeing outer cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the surface of the power source cabinet 11 through a linear guide rod. A dyeing inner cylinder 33 is coaxially arranged inside the dyeing outer cylinder 31. Dyeing sponge 34 is filled between the outer peripheral surface of the dyeing inner cylinder 33 and the inner peripheral surface of the dyeing outer cylinder 31, and between the outer bottom surface of the dyeing inner cylinder 33 and the inner bottom surface of the dyeing outer cylinder 31. A hollow disc 35 is coaxially arranged on the bottom surface of the dyeing outer cylinder 31, and the hollow disc 35 is connected to the dye storage device through a hollow conduit 36.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A dyeing conduit 37 is fixedly connected between the hollow disc 35 and the dyeing sponge 34. Four dyeing conduits 37 are arranged circumferentially around the axis of the hollow disc 35. An electric air pump 38 is fixedly installed inside the dyeing inner cylinder 33. The air outlet of the electric air pump 38 is vertically positioned and aligned with the cutting sleeve 30. A ring of cutting teeth 39 is fixed circumferentially around the bottom of the cutting sleeve 30, and a ring of dyeing fluff 40 is fixed near the bottom of the outer circumference of the cutting sleeve 30. A hollow sphere 41 is fixedly installed at the top of the cutting sleeve 30 and is connected to the cutting sleeve 30. A horn collar 42 is fixedly installed at the top of the cutting sleeve 30. The diameter of the horn collar 42 gradually decreases in the vertical upward direction. A ring of rubber tips 43 is fixed around the top of the horn collar 42 with its own axis as the circumference. The tips of several rubber tips 43 are respectively arranged to converge toward the axis of the horn collar 42.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The data center controls the label punching component 29 to punch holes in the image area 17 of the defective label paper 14. A sticker cutter 44 and a belt conveyor 45 are horizontally mounted on the surface of the power source cabinet 11, with the belt conveyor 45 positioned to the right of the sticker cutter 44. A flattening roller 46 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the power source cabinet 11, positioned to the left of the sticker cutter 44, and several flattening rollers 46 are arranged vertically. The sticker cutter 44 and the belt conveyor 45 are located below the label roller 1 20 and label roller 2 21. The label paper 14 and release paper 15 are combined into the sticker body 13 by the flattening roller 46. A cutting roller 47 is positioned between the sticker cutter 44 and the belt conveyor 45, and the cutting roller 47 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the power source cabinet 11. Several elastic protrusions 48 are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the cutting roller 47. First, the sticker body 13 is wound around several flattening rollers 46 in an S-shaped curve. Then, the sticker body 13 is moved to the inside of the sticker cutting machine 44 for cutting. Finally, the cut image part 17 is moved to the surface of the belt conveyor 45 for conveying.
[0040] The implementation principle of the label cutting device disclosed in this application embodiment is as follows: Several motors are installed inside the power source cabinet 11. The motors inside the power source cabinet 11 simultaneously drive the reversing roller 12, label roller 1 20, label roller 2 21, release roller 1 22, release roller 2 23, cutting roller 47, and several flattening rollers 46 to rotate. The sticker body 13 passes around the outer circumference of the reversing roller 12 and is separated into independent label paper 14 and release paper 15. The release paper 15 passes horizontally around the release roller 1 22 and release roller 2 23 in sequence. The label paper 14 passes horizontally around the label roller 1 20 and label roller 2 21 in sequence. The release paper 15 between the release roller 1 22 and release roller 2 23 passes horizontally through the anti-counterfeiting inkjet printer 24. The anti-counterfeiting inkjet printer 24 sprays anti-counterfeiting icons onto the bottom paper surface 19 of the release paper 15.
[0041] Label paper 14, located between label roller 1 20 and label roller 2 21, passes horizontally through the icon inspection component 25 and the label punching component 29. The image area 17 of the label paper 14 moves directly above the reflective plate 26, and several reflective LED beads 28 are powered on to illuminate the entire image area 17 of the label paper 14. A CCD vision inspection instrument 27 detects the integrity and clarity of the image area 17 of the label paper 14 and feeds the detection data back to the data center. If the integrity and clarity of the image area 17 of the label paper 14 are qualified, the image area 17 of the label paper 14 is deemed qualified; if the integrity and clarity of the image area 17 of the label paper 14 are not qualified, the image area 17 of the label paper 14 is deemed unqualified. For unqualified label paper 14, the data center controls the lifting cylinder 32 to move the cutting sleeve 30 vertically downwards. Several cutting teeth 39 at the bottom of the cutting sleeve 30 pierce the surface of the unqualified label paper 14 and punch holes.
[0042] After the cutting teeth 39 at the bottom of the cutting sleeve 30 are punched, the electric air pump 38 inside the dyeing inner cylinder 33 starts and blows the cut portion of the label paper 14 into the interior of the cutting sleeve 30 through its air outlet. The rubber tips 43 at the top of the horn collar 42 open due to the airflow, allowing the cut portion of the label paper 14 to be blown into the interior of the hollow sphere 41. When the electric air pump 38 is completely shut off, the rubber tips 43 at the top of the horn collar 42 are not affected by the airflow and converge towards the axis of the cutting sleeve 30, preventing the label paper 14 inside the hollow sphere 41 from falling back into the cutting sleeve 30. The existing dye storage device pours dye into the interior of the hollow disc 35 through the hollow conduit 36. The dye inside the hollow disc 35 fills the interior of the dyeing sponge 34 through the dyeing conduit 37, and the cutting teeth 39 at the bottom of the cutting sleeve 30 continue to slide vertically downwards.
[0043] The bottom end of the cutting sleeve 30 pierces into the interior of the dyeing sponge 34. The dyeing fibers 40 around the cutting sleeve 30 absorb the dye in the dyeing sponge 34. When the cutting sleeve 30 moves vertically upward, the dye in the dyeing fibers 40 adheres to the outline edge of the holes in the label paper 14, achieving the effect of the dye clearly marking the unqualified label paper 14. The sticker body 13 is wound around several flattening rollers 46 in an S-shaped curve. The independent label paper 14 and release paper 15 are combined into a complete sticker body 13 by the flattening rollers 46. The several flattening rollers 46 can flatten the sticker body 13. The sticker body 13 moves into the sticker cutting machine 44 for cutting. The sticker body 13 passes around the cutting roller 47 and moves in an inclined upward direction. The elastic protrusions 48 on the surface of the cutting roller 47 facilitate the separation of the cut image part 17 from the sticker body 13. The cut image part 17 moves to the surface of the belt conveyor 45 for conveying.
[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
