DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] The embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings of the specification. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only used for illustrating and explaining the present application, and are not used for limiting the present application.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1-9 , the present application provides a label head 10 for a corrugated plate of a container, a label surface of the label head 10 is provided with at least one corrugated unit, the corrugated unit comprises a first ridge 11 and a first groove 12 connected to each other, the corrugated plate comprises a plurality of second ridges 21 and second grooves 22 arranged alternately; the first ridge 11 is adapted in shape to the second groove 22, and the first groove 12 is adapted in shape to the second ridge 21.

[0025] The pitch of the corrugated unit is equal to the pitch of the corrugated plate; the length of the bottom of the first groove 12 in the direction of the corrugated extension is greater than the length of the top of the second ridge 21 in the direction of the corrugated extension; when labeling, the bottom of the first groove 12 is pressed against the top of the second ridge 21, and the top of the first ridge 11 is pressed against the bottom of the second groove 22; the surface of the corrugated unit is provided with a negative pressure air hole 14.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 for a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the label head. The corrugated label surface is arranged on a rectangular base, the corrugations extend along the long direction of the rectangular base, and the width of the corrugations is the same as the width of the rectangular base. In actual application, multiple labels of different sizes may need to be pasted on the same container, the width of the rectangular base is set according to the maximum width of the label, and the length of the rectangular base is set according to the maximum length of the label.

[0027] The container sidewalls are all made of corrugated sheet structure. Corrugated sheets come in various specifications, and parameters such as wave height and wave pitch may differ between different specifications. The shape of the protrusions and indentations on the corrugated sheets may also vary. In practical applications, it is necessary to customize labeling heads for corrugated sheets of different specifications according to the solution of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second ridge 21 and the second groove 22 on the corrugated plate 20 present a continuous trapezoidal shape in the horizontal cross section. The crests of the second ridge 21 and the troughs of the second groove 22 are both planar, and adjacent crests and troughs are connected together by a second transition portion 23. In the figure, a represents the wave height of the corrugated plate 20, and b represents the wave pitch of the corrugated plate. Correspondingly, the corrugated unit on the labeling surface of the labeling head 10 provided in the embodiments of the present invention also presents a continuous trapezoidal shape in the horizontal cross section. The crests of the first ridge 11 and the troughs of the first groove 12 are both planar, and adjacent crests and troughs are connected together by a second transition portion 13.

[0029] Because the label has adhesive backing, to prevent wrinkles, when applying it, try to avoid contact between the first transition portion 13 and the second transition portion 23. Therefore, as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the trough plane length of the first groove 12 is greater than the crest plane length of the second ridge 21, and the crest plane length of the first ridge 11 is less than the trough plane length of the second groove 22. The length is along... Figure 2 , Figure 3 The length in the left-right direction. During labeling, the first groove 12 presses against the second ridge 21, and the first ridge 11 presses against the second groove 22. For example... Figure 3 The diagram shows the effect after pressing. After the label head 10 and the corrugated plate 20 are pressed together, the crest plane of the label head 10 and the trough plane of the corrugated plate 20 are in contact, and the trough plane of the label head 10 and the crest plane of the corrugated plate 20 are in contact. Because the lengths of the crest and trough planes of the two are different, the crest plane of the second ridge 21 can be completely and fully in contact with the trough plane of the first groove 12, and the crest plane of the first ridge 11 can also be completely and fully in contact with the trough plane of the second groove 22. The first transition part 13 and the second transition part 23 are suspended, and the gap between them presents a parallelogram shape in the horizontal section.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the surface of the corrugated unit is provided with negative pressure air holes 14. In the embodiment of the present application, the labeling head adsorbs the label by means of negative pressure adsorption. The labeling head further comprises a controller and a vacuum generator in communication connection with the controller, and the labeling head is further provided with a negative pressure cavity in communication with the negative pressure air holes 14 and the output end of the vacuum generator. When the label needs to be adsorbed, the controller starts the vacuum generator to adsorb the label on the labeling surface. After the labeling head compacts the label on the corrugated board, the controller stops the vacuum generator to release the adsorption of the label by the labeling head, so as to facilitate the removal of the labeling head 10 from the labeling position.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the wave height of the corrugated unit is greater than the wave height of the corrugated board 20, and the surface of the corrugated unit is provided with a flexible material layer. When the labeling head compacts the label on the corrugated board, the flexible material layer on the surface of the corrugated unit deforms under extrusion. The wave height of the corrugated unit when not extruded is greater than the wave height of the corrugated board, and when extruded, the flexible material layer deforms under extrusion, so that the top of the wave crest of the labeling head and the bottom of the wave trough are in full contact with the top of the wave crest and the bottom of the wave trough of the corrugated board, respectively. In some specific applications, the surface of the corrugated board is provided with reinforcing ribs or other texture structures, and in the process of extrusion, the flexible material layer deforms according to the surface structure of the labeling surface, significantly improving the adhesion of the label on the non-planar surface. In some specific implementation modes of the embodiment of the present application, the bottom surface of the first groove 12 and the top surface of the second ridge 21 are attached with a flexible material layer, that is Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the wave trough plane of the corresponding first groove 12 and the wave crest plane of the first ridge 11 are provided with a flexible material layer, and the first transition part 13 is not provided with a flexible material layer. In some other specific implementation modes of the embodiment of the present application, the entire labeling surface of the labeling head 10 is provided with a flexible material layer.

[0032] As shown in the drawings, Figures 4-9 As shown, the embodiment of the present application further provides a labeling machine for a corrugated board of a container, and the labeling machine comprises the above labeling head 10.

[0033] As shown in the drawings, Figures 4-5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the labeling machine further comprises a label compacting roller 50, which is used to compact the label and extrude the air between the label and the corrugated board 20. After the labeling head 10 compacts the label on the corrugated board 20, the labeling head 10 is removed, and the label compacting roller 50 is used to roll and press the label above the second transition part 23, so as to firmly paste the entire label on the container, while extruding the air to avoid air bubbles. It can be understood that, in addition to rolling and pressing the label part corresponding to the second transition part 23 in the air, the label compacting roller 50 can also roll and press the entire label area as needed, so as to fully extrude the air between the label and the corrugated board 20, and make the label paper more stable.Figure 4 As shown, the label pressing roller 50 is provided with a pressure roller made of flexible material. The pressure roller is provided with a first cylindrical section, a conical section and a second cylindrical section in sequence along its axial direction. The diameter of the first cylindrical section is smaller than the diameter of the second cylindrical section. The first cylindrical section, the conical section and the second cylindrical section are respectively matched with the contours of the second ridge 21, the second transition part 23 and the second groove 22 of the corrugated plate 20, so that the label is evenly attached to the surface of the corrugated plate during the rolling process.

[0034] Understandably, if the label length is less than the length of the crest plane of the second ridge 21, the label can be adsorbed onto the trough plane of the first groove 12 by the labeling head 10, and then pressed onto the crest plane of the second ridge 21, without the need to use the label pressing roller 50 for rolling.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, at least one side of the first ridge 11 is provided with a guide sheet 15 for limiting the label; during labeling, the guide sheet 15 retracts. When the labeling head 15 moves, the guide sheet 15 is in an extended state, which can effectively prevent the label from shifting laterally, thereby improving the labeling accuracy. During labeling, the label is pressed against the corrugated plate, and the guide sheet 15 automatically retracts to prevent it from sticking to the corrugated plate or affecting the labeling effect. Specifically, a pressure sensor can be provided on the labeling head to automatically control the extension and retraction of the guide sheet 15 according to the pressure value; or a simple spring structure can be used.

[0036] like Figures 4-5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the labeling machine further includes a labeling robot 30, and the labeling head 10 is fixed to the end of the robotic arm 31 of the labeling robot 30. In practical applications, the labeling head 10 can be fixed to the end of the robotic arm 31 of the labeling robot 30. The labeling robot 30 is communicatively connected to a controller, which controls the movement of the robotic arm 31 of the labeling robot 30 to change the position and angle of the labeling head in the XYZ directions, thereby achieving precise labeling.

[0037] like Figures 4-5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the labeling machine further includes a vision positioning system 40, which is used to accurately locate the labeling position. Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this system, the visual positioning system 40 is fixed to the base of the labeling head 10 to identify and collect the labeling position information. In practical applications, the visual positioning system 40 can also be set up independently of the labeling robot 30. The visual positioning system 40 is connected to the controller and feeds back the collected labeling position information to the controller.

[0038] like Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown in the figure, in some embodiments of the present application, the label pressing roller 50 is arranged on the side of the bottom end of the labeling head 10. During labeling, the labeling surface of the labeling head 10 is parallel to the surface of the corrugated board 20. After the label is pressed, the labeling robot 30 controls the labeling head to rotate 90 degrees, and the label pressing roller 50 is rotated to a position parallel to the surface of the corrugated board 20, and then the label pressing roller 50 is driven to roll the label. The driving mode of the labeling head can be pneumatic, hydraulic or electric.

[0039] As shown in the figure, Figures 4-9 In an embodiment of the present application, the labeling machine further comprises a label output device 60; the label output device 60 is used to provide labels for the labeling head 10; and a label sensor 61 is arranged near the label path 62 of the label output device 60. The label sensor 61 is used to detect the position of the label, and if it is detected that the label has reached the label outlet, the labeling head 10 is informed to take the label.

[0040] A pressing rod 63 is arranged below the label path 62, the position of the pressing rod 63 corresponds to the position of the bottom of the first groove 12, and the pressing rod 63 is used to press the straightened label onto the negative pressure air hole 14 at the bottom of the first groove 12 after the labeling head 10 reaches the label taking position. The pressing surface of the pressing rod 63 is adapted to the shape of the bottom of the first groove 12. As shown in the figure, Figures 6-9 As shown in the figure, the labeling surface of the labeling head 10 is provided with three first grooves 12, and one pressing rod 63 is arranged below each first groove 12. The bottom of the first groove 12 is a flat surface, and the pressing surface of the pressing rod 63 is also a flat surface. The width of the pressing surface is slightly wider than the width of the air hole area on the flat surface of the bottom of the first groove 12. The surface of the pressing rod 63, especially the pressing surface and the corner area, is a smooth surface, which facilitates smooth sliding with the paper during pressing to maintain the tensioned state and prevent wrinkles.

[0041] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the label output device 60 and the labeling robot 30 are arranged on the same plane to facilitate the labeling robot controlling the labeling head 10 to move to the label outlet of the label output device 60. In practical applications, both can be placed together on a desktop or stand to adapt to different labeling positions. In some embodiments of the present invention, the label output device 60 is a label printer that prints labels on-site according to the labeling requirements; and the controller in the label printer can act as the controller of the entire labeling machine, controlling the movement of the labeling robot's robotic arm and receiving position information fed back by the vision positioning system. In other embodiments of the present invention, the label output device 60 contains a label roll made of pre-made label paper. In still other embodiments of the present invention, multiple label output devices 60 are included, such as multiple label printers, or multiple label peeling devices containing pre-made label rolls, or both label printers and label peeling devices containing pre-made label rolls are included. The controller controls the labeling robot 30 to different positions to receive labels of different types and sizes, and then affixes them to the corresponding positions on the corrugated plate as needed.

[0042] like Figures 6-9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the label output device 60 further includes a release rod 64 for separating the pressed label from the release paper. Figures 6-9 In this process, the release rod 64 is disposed on one side of the release paper of the label. The cross-section of the release rod 64 is rhomboid, which can more efficiently peel off the release paper on the back of the label compared to other shapes.

[0043] like Figures 6-9 As shown, the label output device 60 also includes a label roll 65, a release paper recovery roll 66, a paper feed roller group 67, and a peeling roller group 68. The label roll 65 is formed by winding labels attached to release paper, and the release paper recovery roll 67 is formed by winding peeled release paper. The paper feed roller group 67 is used to transport the labels on the label roll to the label outlet, the peeling roller group 68 is used to generate the tension required for peeling, and the release paper recovery roll 66 is used to wind up the peeled release paper.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 6-9 , Figures 6-9 This demonstrates the main process of attaching the label to the labeler. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the labeling head 10 reaches the label receiving position, with the labeling surface facing down and close to the label outlet. The controller activates the vacuum generator, adsorbing the label onto the negative pressure air hole of the first ridge 11. Figure 7 As shown, the pressing rod rises, pressing the taut label against the negative pressure air hole 14 on the first groove 12 of the labeling head, so that the label is completely adhered to the labeling surface. Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the entire surface of the labeling surface is provided with negative pressure air holes 14, so after the pressing rod presses, the entire label will be completely adsorbed onto the labeling surface.Figure 8 As shown, after the label is attached to the labeling surface, the pressing rod is lowered, the release rod 64 is moved along the extending direction of the corrugated surface of the labeling surface, and the release roller group pulls the release paper to peel the label surface paper from the release paper. As shown, Figure 9 As shown, the release paper is partially peeled. After the release paper is completely peeled, the labeling head 10 can leave the labeling position.

[0045] It can be understood that the labeling head 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application can be used in cooperation with the labeling robot 30 and the visual positioning system 40 to realize semi-automatic or automatic labeling, or can be used independently of the labeling robot 30 and the visual positioning system 40. For occasions without the labeling robot 30 and the visual positioning system 40, the labeling head 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application can be used independently or in combination with the label pressing roller 50, which can significantly improve the labeling flatness, reduce bubbles, angle warping and other problems, and improve the reliability and service life of the label.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present application, the corrugated units on the labeling surface of the labeling head 10 present a continuous rectangle in the horizontal section. This type of labeling head 10 is suitable for a corrugated plate presenting a continuous rectangle in the horizontal section. The structure of the labeling surface of the labeling head 10 is similar to that of the Figure 1 According to the structural characteristics of the corrugated plate, the transition surface between the first ridge 11 and the first groove 12 is perpendicular to the wave crest plane of the first ridge 11 and the wave trough plane of the first groove 12.

[0047] In another embodiment of the present application, the corrugated units on the labeling surface of the labeling head 10 present a continuous arc in the horizontal section. This type of labeling head 10 is suitable for a corrugated plate presenting a continuous arc in the horizontal section. The structure of the labeling surface of the labeling head 10 is similar to that of the Figure 1 According to the structural characteristics of the corrugated plate, the wave crest of the first ridge 11 and the wave trough of the first groove 12 are arc surfaces. The pressing surface of the pressing rod 64 is adapted according to the shape of the corresponding first groove 12.

[0048] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, which cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application. Equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art based on the present application, and changes well known in the art, should still fall within the scope of the present application.
