[0035] In order to better illustrate the integrated labeling device and the method for setting a label on a container according to the present invention, the container 2 is first introduced.
[0036] like Figure 8 As shown, the structure of the container 2 generally includes, from top to bottom, a container mouth 22, a container neck 23, and a container body 21. After filling, a container cap is disposed outside the container mouth 22. In order to promote the product and improve the brand recognition, the container 2 generally has labels disposed on the container body 21, the container neck 23, and the container cap of the container mouth 22, so as to better identify the product.
[0037] The following is a detailed description of the sleeve-sticking integrated device and the method for setting a label on a container according to the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0038] Example 1: Figure 1 As shown, the integrated labeling and sleeve device comprises: a labeling mechanism 100, the structure of the labeling mechanism 100 comprises: a rotary conveying mechanism 1 which can rotate and has a plurality of labeling stations evenly spaced in the circumferential direction thereof, each labeling station on the rotary conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a self-rotating driving mechanism which can drive the container 2 to rotate, a container input mechanism 3 for conveying the container 2 to be labeled to the labeling station of the rotary conveying mechanism 1, a labeling component 4 for attaching an adhesive label to the container 2, and a container output mechanism 5 for outputting the container in the rotary conveying mechanism 1 are provided on the outer side of the rotary conveying mechanism 1, and the above three are arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the rotary conveying mechanism 1.
[0039] The container output mechanism 5 includes an output star wheel assembly 51, which includes an output star wheel 511 that can rotate and has a plurality of blocking grooves 512 evenly spaced on the outer edge for blocking the container body 21. A set of sleeve labeling mechanisms 60 that can sleeve a sleeve label from the top of the container 2 onto the container 2 located above the blocking grooves 512 is arranged above the path where the output star wheel 511 rotates outward from the rotary conveying mechanism 1.
[0040] In this embodiment, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the structure of the label sleeve mechanism 60 includes: a label sleeve conveying roller group 601, a label sleeve label plate 604, and a label sleeve guide column 602. The label sleeve guide column 602 has label guide rollers 603 on both sides of the lower end thereof, which act on the label sleeve label 7 to make the label sleeve label 7 move downward. In this embodiment, the structure of the label sleeve guide column 602 includes a label sleeve guide column cone section 6021 and a label sleeve guide column body section 6022, which are arranged at the upper and lower parts. The diameter of the label sleeve guide column cone section 6021 gradually increases from the top to the bottom, and the label sleeve guide column body 6022 is cylindrical. A circle of label cutting grooves 6023 are arranged on the outer wall of the label sleeve guide column body 6022 to cooperate with the label sleeve cutter to cut the label. The sleeve label guide post 602 is located above the movement trajectory of the center of the blocking groove 512 on the output star wheel 511, and when the output star wheel 511 rotates outward by the rotary conveying mechanism 1, each blocking groove 512 can move to a position directly below the sleeve label guide post 602 coaxial with the sleeve label guide post 602, so that the sleeve label 7 on the sleeve label guide post 60 can be sleeved on the container 2 through the top of the container 2.
[0041] During the labeling process, the continuous label tray 604 is sequentially sleeved on the label guide post cone section 6021 and the label guide post body section 6022 under the conveyance of the label conveying roller group 601. The label guide post cone section 6021 plays a good guiding role, and the label guide roller 603 plays a role in prompting the label 7 to move downward quickly. The label cutting groove 6023 cooperates with the label cutter to realize the cutting of a single label 7. When the output star wheel assembly 51 drives the container 2 to move outward until the blocking groove 512 is located directly below the label guide post 602 which is coaxial with the label guide post 602, the cut single label 7 on the label guide post 60 is just sleeved on the container 2 from the top of the container 2 in the blocking groove 512.
[0042] In this embodiment, the labeling component 4 includes: an adhesive label plate 41, a labeling roller 42, and the outer side of the labeling roller 42 is provided with a label cutting component 43 for cutting continuous adhesive labels into single adhesive labels, and a gluing component 44 for applying glue to the single adhesive label; the adhesive label adopts a hot melt adhesive label.
[0043] During labeling, the continuous adhesive labels on the adhesive label plate 41 are conveyed to the label cutting component 43, the label cutting component 43 cuts the continuous adhesive labels into single sheets and then conveys them to the labeling roller 42, the labeling roller 42 absorbs the single adhesive label through negative pressure adsorption and rotates, the gluing component 44 applies glue on the single adhesive label, and the single adhesive label coated with glue is adhered by the labeling roller 42 to the container 2 conveyed by the rotary conveying mechanism 1.
[0044] With the above-mentioned structure of the integrated labeling and sleeve device, the container 2 is firstly affixed with an adhesive label in the labeling mechanism 10, and the container with the adhesive label is then conveyed to the output star wheel 511 by the rotary conveying mechanism 1. The output star wheel 511 carries the container 2 with the adhesive label through the sleeve labeling mechanism 60, and the sleeve labeling mechanism 60 sleeves the sleeve label on the container 2 through the top of the container. The sleeve label can be sleeved on any position on the container above the blocking groove 512 through the top of the container according to the label setting needs, such as directly sleeved on the container cover of the container mouth 22, or sleeved on the container neck 23 after passing through the top of the container, or sleeved on the container mouth 22 and the container neck 23.
[0045] The following specifically describes the method and steps for setting a label on a container using the integrated labeling device described in this embodiment. Each filled container 2 is transported by the container input mechanism 3 to a to-be-labeled station on the rotary conveying mechanism 1. The container 2 is rotary conveyed by the rotary conveying mechanism 1. When the container 2 moves past the position of the labeling component 4, the labeling roller 42 in the labeling component 4 attaches the adhesive label to the container body 21. The self-rotating drive mechanism at the to-be-labeled station on the rotary conveying mechanism 1 drives the container 2 to rotate, thereby achieving the adhesive label on the container body 21. The container with the adhesive label is conveyed by the rotary conveying mechanism 1 to the blocking groove 512 of the output star wheel 511. The output star wheel 511 rotates with the container 2 with the adhesive label and passes through the sleeve label mechanism 60. When the blocking groove 512 moves to the position directly below the sleeve label guide post 602 coaxial with the sleeve label guide post 602 in the sleeve label mechanism 60, the sleeve label 7 is sleeved on the container 2 from the top of the container. Then the output star wheel 511 outputs the container 2 with the adhesive label on the container body 21 and the sleeve label sleeved on the container 2.
[0046] By using the integrated labeling and sleeve device and the method for setting labels on containers described in this embodiment, the setting of labeling labels and sleeve labels is realized on one device. The entire device has a simple and compact structure and the occupied area required by the device is greatly reduced.
[0047] Example 2: Figure 2As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the labeling assembly includes: a label feeding roller group 45, a labeling roller 42 and a cutter assembly 46. The label feeding roller group 45 is used to convey the rolled adhesive labels to the labeling roller 42. The cutter assembly 46 is used to cut the continuous adhesive labels on the labeling roller 42 into single sheets. The cutter mechanism in the label cutting assembly can be integrated on the labeling roller 42 or located on the outside of the labeling roller 42. Figure 2 The cutter mechanism 46 shown in the figure is arranged on the outside of the labeling roller 42, which is only an example; the adhesive label described uses a pre-coated label.
[0048] In this embodiment, the pre-coated label is transported to the labeling roller 42 by the label feeding roller group 45, and the cutter mechanism 46 in the label cutting assembly cuts the pre-coated label into single sheets, and the single pre-coated label is adhered to the container body 21 of the container 2 by the labeling roller 42.
[0049] The rest not mentioned are the same as those in Example 1 and will not be described in detail in this example.
[0050] Embodiment 3: This embodiment is different from Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 in that: Figure 1 , Figure 2 A heat shrinking furnace 8 is added to heat shrink the sleeve label 7 sleeved on the container 2. The container output mechanism 5 also includes a chain output mechanism 52. The input side and the output side of the output star wheel 511 are connected with the rotary conveying mechanism 1 and the chain output mechanism 52 respectively. The chain output mechanism 52 runs through the heat shrinking furnace. The chain output mechanism 52 has a simple structure and stable operation.
[0051] The output star wheel 511 outputs the container 2 with the adhesive label attached to the container body 21 and the sleeve label sleeved on the container 2 to the chain output mechanism 52. The chain output mechanism 52 carries the container 2 through the heat shrink oven 8, which heats the sleeve label so that the sleeve label is heat-shrunk and fixed on the container 2.
[0052] Embodiment 4: Compared with Embodiment 3, this embodiment further adds a label arrangement mechanism 9 for arranging the sleeve-type labels sleeved on the container 2. The label arrangement mechanism 9 and the heat shrinking furnace 8 are arranged in sequence along the chain output mechanism 52. The chain output mechanism 52 first passes through the label arrangement mechanism 9 and then passes through the heat shrinking furnace 8. Figure 2 or Figure 3 shown.
[0053] In this implementation, if Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the structure of the label arrangement mechanism 9 includes: a pressing plate 91 driven by a lifting drive mechanism, under the drive of the lifting drive mechanism, the pressing plate 91 can move downward to press and block the sleeve label on each container passing through, so that the sleeve label sleeved on the container moves downward to the right position. The lifting drive mechanism can be any one that can reciprocate, such as a cylinder.
[0054] The chain output mechanism 52 carries the container 2 through the label sorting mechanism 9 first. The pressure plate 91 in the label sorting mechanism 9 presses down the sleeve label on the container 2 to ensure that the sleeve label can be put into place. Then the container 2 passes through the heat shrinking oven 8, which heats the sleeve label so that the sleeve label is heat-shrunk and fixed on the container 2.
[0055] Embodiment 5: In this embodiment, compared with Embodiments 1 to 4, the container input mechanism 3 includes: a rotary conveying input star wheel assembly 31, the structure of the input star wheel assembly 31 includes an input star wheel 311, the input side and the output side of the input star wheel 311 are respectively connected to the chain input mechanism 32 and the rotary conveying mechanism 1, and the outer edge of the input star wheel 311 is provided with a plurality of input slots 312 for blocking the container body 21. Figure 1 or Figure 2 shown.
[0056] The container 2 to be labeled is transported by the chain conveyor input mechanism 32 to an input slot 312 in the input star wheel 311 , and then transported by the input star wheel 311 to the station to be labeled in the rotary conveying mechanism 1 .
[0057] Example 6: See Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, relative to Embodiment 5, the input star wheel assembly 31 and the output star wheel assembly 51 share a guide plate 10, and the guide plate 10 is located between the input star wheel 311 and the output star wheel 51, and the two ends of the guide plate 10 are respectively connected to the chain path input mechanism 32 and the chain path output mechanism 51, and arc-shaped input guide plates 101 and arc-shaped output guide plates 102 are respectively provided on both sides of the guide plate 10, the arc-shaped input guide plate 101 is protected on the outer side of the input star wheel 311, and is guided from the output end of the chain path input mechanism 32 to the rotary conveying mechanism 1, and the arc-shaped output guide plate 102 is protected on the outer side of the output star wheel 511, and is guided from the rotary conveying mechanism 1 to the input end of the chain path output mechanism 52.
[0058] In order to improve the automation and efficiency of label setting, the present embodiment is further provided with a container input detection element 103 for detecting whether a container 2 enters the input star wheel 311. As long as it is ensured that the container entering the input star wheel 311 can be detected, the setting position of the container input detection element 103 is not limited, and it can usually be set near the connection position between the input star wheel 311 and the chain input mechanism 32. Figure 1 or Figure 2 The setting position of the container input detection element 103 is only for reference.
[0059] Example 7: See Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, compared with Example 6, this embodiment is further provided with a chain output detection element 105 for detecting whether the setting position of the adhesive label and the sleeve label on the container is correct. The chain output detection element 105 is located after the heat shrink furnace 8 along the conveying direction of the chain output mechanism 52, that is, it first passes through the heat shrink furnace and then passes through the chain output detection element 105.
[0060] The chain output detection element 105 is used to detect whether the setting positions of the adhesive labels and the sleeve labels on the containers are correct. If they are incorrect, they need to be rejected.
[0061] Embodiment 8: Compared with Embodiment 6, this embodiment is further provided with an adhesive label detection element 106 for detecting whether an adhesive label is provided on the container transported from the rotary conveying mechanism 1 to the output star wheel 511. If an adhesive label is found to be provided on the container, the container is transported by the output star wheel 511 through the labeling mechanism for labeling; if no adhesive label is found to be provided on the container, the container is transported by the output star wheel 511 directly through the labeling mechanism without labeling, and is rejected after entering the chain output mechanism 52.
[0062] The setting of the adhesive label detection element 106 can timely detect the setting of the adhesive label on the container, thereby providing a response signal for whether the label sleeve mechanism is actuated, and at the same time facilitates the removal of defective containers. Defective containers refer to containers without adhesive labels that enter the output star wheel 511.
[0063] Example 9: Figure 3 As shown, the present embodiment is different from the embodiments 1 to 8 in that two sets of labeling mechanisms are arranged at intervals, and the two sets of labeling mechanisms are the first labeling mechanism 61 and the second labeling mechanism 62 in the rotation direction of the output star wheel 511. The structure of each set of labeling mechanism is the same, and the structure of each labeling mechanism is specifically referred to in Figure 4 , Figure 5 As well as the related description in Example 1, they will not be repeated here.
[0064] The label guide pins 602 in the two label sleeve mechanisms are both located above the motion trajectory of the center of the blocking groove 512 on the output star wheel 511, and when the output star wheel 511 rotates outwardly by the rotary conveying mechanism 1, each blocking groove 512 can move to be located directly below the label guide pin 602 in the first label sleeve mechanism 61 that is coaxial with the label guide pin 602, and to be located directly below the label guide pin 602 in the second label sleeve mechanism 62 that is coaxial with the label guide pin 602, so that the label sleeve type labels 7 on the label guide pins 602 in the first label sleeve mechanism 61 and the second label sleeve mechanism 62 can be sleeved on the container 2 through the top of the container 2.
[0065] In this embodiment, a sleeve label detection element 104 is also included for detecting whether a sleeve label is sleeved on the container 2 after passing through the first sleeve label mechanism 61. The sleeve label detection element 104 uses a high-speed camera. A high-speed camera is a device that can capture moving images with an exposure of less than 1 / 1000 seconds or a frame rate of more than 250 frames per second. As long as it is ensured that the sleeve label detection element 104 can detect whether a sleeve label is sleeved on the container between the first sleeve label mechanism 61 and the second sleeve label mechanism 62, the setting position of the sleeve label detection element 104 is not limited, and can be located above the output star wheel 511 between the first sleeve label mechanism 61 and the second sleeve label mechanism 62, or can be located at other positions. Figure 3 The sleeve label detection element 104 shown in FIG. 1 is only for illustration.
[0066] The following specifically introduces the method and steps for setting a label on a container using the integrated labeling device described in this embodiment as follows: each filled container 2 is conveyed by the container input mechanism 3 to a labeling station on the rotary conveying mechanism 1, and the container 2 is rotated and conveyed by the rotary conveying mechanism 1. When the container 2 moves through the position of the labeling component 4, the labeling roller 42 in the labeling component 4 will attach the adhesive label to the container body 21, and the self-rotating drive mechanism at the labeling station on the rotary conveying mechanism 1 will drive the container 2 to rotate, thereby realizing the attachment of the adhesive label to the container body 21.
[0067] The container provided with the adhesive label is conveyed by the rotary conveying mechanism 1 to the retaining groove 512 of the output star wheel 511. When the output star wheel 511 rotates with the container 2 provided with the adhesive label, it passes through the position of the first label sleeve mechanism 61. When the retaining groove 512 moves to be directly below the label sleeve guide post 602 in the first label sleeve mechanism 61 which is coaxial with the label sleeve guide post 602, the label sleeve 7 on the label sleeve guide post 602 in the first label sleeve mechanism 61 is sleeved on the container 2 from the top; then the output star wheel 511 continues to output the container 2 with the adhesive label attached to the container body 21 and the container 2 with the label sleeved.
[0068] When passing the position of the sleeve label detection element 104, the sleeve label detection element 104, that is, the high-speed camera head, quickly collects the image information of the container passing through, and transmits the collected image information of the container to the PLC. The PLC judges the image information. If it is judged that the container 2 has been sleeved with a sleeve label, the container directly passes through the second sleeve label mechanism 62 and is output outward; if it is judged that there is no sleeve label on the container 2, the PLC sends a signal to the second sleeve label mechanism 62, and when the blocking groove 512 with the container is moved to the position directly below the sleeve label guide post 602 coaxial with the sleeve label guide post 602 in the second sleeve label mechanism 62, the sleeve label 7 on the sleeve label guide post 602 in the second sleeve label mechanism 62 is sleeved on the container 2 from the top of the container 2; then the output star wheel 511 outputs the container 2 with the adhesive label attached to the container body 21 and the container 2 with the sleeve label sleeved on the container 2 outward.
[0069] In this embodiment, two sets of label sleeve mechanisms are arranged at intervals, and the purpose is to prevent the container from not being labeled at the position of the first label sleeve mechanism 61. The two sets of label sleeve mechanisms can effectively avoid this situation and ensure that the container is labeled. Since the first label sleeve mechanism 61 and the second label sleeve mechanism 62 are close to each other, in order to achieve rapid detection and rapid judgment so that the second label sleeve mechanism 62 can act in time, the label sleeve detection element 104 uses a high-speed camera. The high-speed camera can quickly detect whether the container is covered with a label sleeve, so that when the container is not covered with a label sleeve, the second label sleeve mechanism 62 can act in time to complete the label sleeve work on the container.
