AI Technical Summary
During the tobacco logistics packaging process, due to the inconsistent packaging height, the label is easily stuck in the bent transition position of the packaging, which causes the scanner to be unable to automatically identify, and it is necessary to manually adjust or change the scanning angle of the scanner.
A green label equipment for tobacco logistics was designed to detect the packaging height through the distance sensor, and adjust the position of the label by using the transfer mechanism and the positioning mechanism to ensure that the label is attached to the highest plane of the packaging and avoid being attached to the bending transition position.
The automated labeling process is realized, which avoids manual intervention, improves the accuracy and efficiency of packaging identification, and is suitable for double-layer production lines.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco logistics packaging, and in particular to a green label device for tobacco logistics. Background Art
[0002] At present, tobacco logistics packaging has achieved automated packaging. After the merchant places an order, the manufacturer stacks several rectangular packaged items such as cigarettes according to the set quantity, then seals the stacked items with film, and finally automatically sticks a label on the package through labeling equipment. The label records the delivery route and sequence, customer information, order details, etc. This is a common practice in the industry.
[0003] In the actual tobacco packaging process, due to the different number of cigarettes in the package, the height of the package will not be uniform, and some labels are easily attached to the bending transition position of the package, resulting in the subsequent barcode scanner being unable to automatically recognize it. Manual intervention is required to adjust the packaging or the scanning angle of the barcode scanner. Summary of the invention
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention proposes a green label device for tobacco logistics, which can adjust the position of label sticking according to the package height to avoid the label being stuck at the transition position of the package bending.

After completion, the distance sensor 8 detects the highest height of the input package. The first conveyor roller 3 conveys the label to the guide plate 5 through the guide conveyor roller 4. The guide plate 5 exposes one side of the label. After the package is input under the guide plate 5, the second driving device 905 drives the active rotating mechanical arm 903 and the active rod 904 to rotate downward. The active rod 904 drives the first gear 916 at the bottom of the first Z-shaped rod 906 to rotate outside the active gear 907.
