Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food packaging machinery, and in particular to a candy labeling mechanism and a packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] In candy packaging machines, labels are usually affixed to the flat surface of the candy after it is packaged. Based on the existing packaging machines, labels are affixed to the back of the candy only after packaging is completed and the candy is clamped with its back facing upward. For example, for candies that need to be labeled on both sides, the space in the docking packaging machine is too narrow, and the top surface of the candy faces downward at the labeling site. Usually, the label is only affixed to the back side facing upward, and the label outlet cannot enter the labeling site below the candy (top surface), making it difficult to label the top surface of the candy when the packaging machine is running. There is a conveyor flipping method on the market that allows the top surface to be facing upward for labeling, but this will require modification of the packaging machine and add a large number of parts, consuming more costs. It will also reduce production efficiency and increase manual debugging time. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a labeling mechanism for a candy packaging machine, which has a simple structure and can achieve labeling on the top surface of the candy without modifying a large number of parts.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, an extension section is provided at the end of the inner side plate of the paper feeder, the support plate is fixed on the extension section, and the length of the support plate is proportional to the extension section of the inner side plate.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the support plate includes a fixing part and a supporting part, the fixing part is provided with a waist-shaped hole, and there are three waist-shaped holes on the fixing part. Bolts are passed through the waist-shaped holes to lock the support plate on the inner plate of the paper feeder. The support plate can be adjusted up and down to adjust the label outlet to the center of the candy paper on the support plate.

[0013] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a candy packaging machine, including the labeling mechanism described in the above embodiment, wherein the labeling device and the paper feeder both use a servo motor as a power source, and the operation of the servo motor controls the labeling speed and time of the labeling machine, so that the label is accurately attached to the top surface of the candy block corresponding to the packaging paper.

[0035] The workflow of the utility model is as follows: Figure 1As shown, the paper feeder 110 feeds the candy paper from the packaging paper storage roller 120 from right to left into the packaging machine. Before entering the packaging machine 100, the candy paper is first labeled on the support plate 400 by the labeling device 200. By setting the support plate 400, the packaging paper can be stably supported. By setting the mounting plate 320, the position and angle of the labeling device 200 can be adjusted to adapt to candies of different sizes. The labeling device 200 also adopts the labeling device 200 developed by our company. For its specific working process and principle, please refer to the patent with announcement number CN217865283U. The labeling process is adjusted before packaging. At the same time, the packaging machine 100 adopts the patent with announcement number CN21911582 applied by our company. The clamping claw type candy packaging machine 100 represented by 3U exposes the label on the candy paper to the outside and on the top of the candy, thereby solving the problem that the candy top surface cannot be labeled after packaging, and the purpose of labeling the candy top surface can be achieved by a minor modification of the existing equipment. At the same time, after the candy packaging is completed, the candy can continue to pass through the labeling device 200 once to achieve double-sided labeling. At this time, the labeling knife 210 of the labeling device 200 can be aligned with the candy outlet position of the candy packaging machine 100 (please refer to patent CN219115823U for the specific structure). At this time, the sealing position of the candy is facing upward, and the labeling device can perform secondary labeling on the sealing position of the candy, thereby achieving the function of double-sided labeling.
