The full tray bin 1 and the empty tray bin 2 can be arranged side by side to facilitate the unloading of the empty label material rack 4.

[0024] As one implementation method, in this embodiment, Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the label material rack 4 also includes a label chassis 41, a label plate limiting seat 42 and a material rack stacking rod 45. The label plate limiting seat 42 is arranged in the middle position of the top surface of the label chassis 41. The label plate 5 is generally provided with a hollow core shaft. The label plate limiting seat 42 protrudes from the label chassis 41, and the core shaft of the label plate 5 is positioned on the label plate limiting seat 42.

[0025] The end fixing part is arranged at the edge of the label chassis 41, so that it can match the position of the label end that is pulled apart at one end. The purpose of the end fixing part is to fix the label end in a free state, and it can be of various structures and forms, such as a clamp that can clamp the end. In this embodiment, the end fixing part includes two groups of positioning components arranged at intervals, and each group of positioning components includes two relatively arranged fixing blocks 43, and a gap 44 that can accommodate the label is formed between the two fixed blocks. The end of the note tray is positioned by passing through the gaps 44 of the two groups of positioning components in turn.
