[0027] When in use, by threading the limit disk 8 on both sides of the surface of the winding shaft 6 of the unwinding mechanism, the limit disk 8 can be turned to rotate and adjust its position on the winding shaft 6, so that the label paper rolls 9 of different widths can be limited and prevented from deflecting. By setting a photoelectric switch 23 at the tape inlet 22 of the label printing machine body 1, when the label paper roll 9 is used up or broken during the operation of the machine, the photoelectric switch 23 will control the buzzer 24 to alarm, so as to promptly remind the staff to carry out maintenance.

[0028] A accommodating chamber 10 is provided inside the mounting head 4, and grooves 12 are provided at both ends of one side of the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 10. The inner walls of the two grooves 12 are fixedly connected with springs 13, and one end of the two springs 13 is fixedly connected with a movable plate 14. Two plug rods 16 are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 14. Two slots 17 are provided inside the mounting block 5, and one end of the plug rod 16 is engaged with the inner wall of the slot 17 to play a locking role.
