Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packaging, in particular to a device for attaching labels to commodities and packaging equipment. Background Art

[0002] See also Figure 1 The label 2' to be mounted on the product 1' is a structure that is circumferentially closed and pressed into a flat belt shape and then wound into a roll. Before being mounted on the product 1', the label 2' is first expanded into a roughly circular shape by an expansion component, and then mounted on the product 1' under the drive of a driving component. Since some products 1' are polygonal, the flat label 2' still has two obvious edges 3' (or folds) after being expanded. When the edges 3' coincide with the corners of the polygon, the appearance and orientation of the label 2' cannot meet the requirements. The device for mounting a label on a product in the prior art cannot adjust the orientation of the label 2' and the label is prone to rotation after being mounted on the product, which easily leads to the problem that the mounted label does not meet the standards.

[0036] See also Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, the device for attaching a label to a commodity includes a spreading component 4 and a label orientation adjustment mechanism 3.

[0037] The expanding component 4 is configured to expand the flattened strip label into a cylindrical label 7 for sleeved onto the commodity 8 . The expanding component 4 includes a flat section 41 , a conical section 42 and a prism section 43 sequentially arranged along a first direction.

[0038] The label orientation adjustment mechanism 3 is disposed at one end of the flat section 41 away from the conical section 42 and is configured to drive the strip label to rotate around a rotation axis extending along a first direction to adjust the circumferential orientation of the fold 71 at the end of the strip label in the width direction on the stretching part 4.

[0039] For further information, see the Appendix Figure 6 and 7 After the flat label is stretched into a tubular label 7, the fold 71 can be adjusted to be aligned with the two opposite edges of the product 8. Due to the existence of the fold 71, the label has a certain clamping force, which can realize the positioning of the tubular label 7 and the product with a rectangular cross-section. While realizing the orientation adjustment of the fold 71 of the label, the positioning of the label and the product 8 can also be realized by utilizing the above-mentioned clamping force, thereby improving the problem of the appearance or orientation of the set label not meeting the standards in the prior art.

[0040] The label orientation adjustment mechanism 3 includes two parallel rollers 31, the rollers 31 are perpendicular to the first direction, the two rollers 31 are spaced apart to clamp the strip label between the two rollers 31, and the two rollers 31 are configured to rotate around a rotation axis extending along the first direction to adjust the orientation of the strip label clamped between the two rollers 31.

[0041] The two rollers 31 are consistent with the width direction of the strip label, and the spacing between the two rollers 31 is adapted to the thickness of the strip label. The rollers 31, the flat section 41, the conical section 42, the prism section 43 and the commodity to be fitted with the label are arranged in sequence along the first direction. The strip label moves in the first direction under the drive of the driving component, and one end of the strip label wound into an axis passes through the gap between the two rollers 31 and is then sleeved on the flat section 41, and then is gradually stretched through the conical section 42 and the prism section 43 in sequence along the first direction and is then sleeved on the commodity 8.

[0042] The device for the product set label also includes a base 2 carrying a label orientation adjustment mechanism, and a first through hole 21 allowing the strip label to pass through is provided on the base 2. Two rollers 31 span the first through hole 21 and are configured to be rotatable relative to the first through hole 21 around a rotation axis extending in a first direction. The first through hole 21 is configured so that the strip label can rotate therein.

[0043] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the first through hole 21 is larger than the width of the strip label, so that the strip label can adjust its position in the first through hole 21. Optionally, the first through hole 21 is a circular hole, and the diameter direction of the circular hole is consistent with the width direction of the strip label.

[0044] In some embodiments, the base 2 is provided with a slideway 22 for guiding the roller 31 to rotate relative to the first through hole 21 around a rotation axis extending along the first direction, and the slideway 22 extends along the circumference of the first through hole 21. The label orientation adjustment mechanism 3 further includes a roller seat 32 and a slider 33.

[0045] The roller seat 32 is disposed at the ends of the two rollers 31 and connected to the two rollers 31 ; the slider 33 is mounted on the roller seat 32 and movably disposed in the slideway 22 .

[0046] The device for attaching labels to commodities further comprises a bracket 1 , a base 2 is mounted on the frame 1 , and a depth direction of the first through hole 21 is consistent with or parallel to the first direction.

[0047] Specifically, the base 2 is horizontally mounted on the bracket 1, the label orientation adjustment mechanism 3 is mounted on the base 2, the bearing member 4 is vertically arranged below the label orientation adjustment mechanism 3, and the flat section 41, the conical section 42, the prism section 43 and the commodity 8 to be fitted with the label are sequentially arranged below the label orientation adjustment mechanism 3. After the strip label passes through the gap between the two rollers 31, it is sequentially stretched by the flat section 41, the conical section 42 and the prism section 43 and then fitted on the commodity 8.

[0048] In some embodiments, the width direction of the flat section 41 is perpendicular to the first direction, and the ends of the flat section 41 along its width direction are aligned with the edges of the prism section 43 in the circumferential direction of the expansion member 4. Figure 6 and 7The fold 71 at the end of the flat section 41 along its width direction is aligned with the edge of the rectangular product 8, so that the clamping force of the expanded label is used to achieve positioning with the product, which is beneficial to prevent the label from rotating relative to the product 8, thereby fixing the position of the packaging label relative to the product.

[0049] The device for attaching labels to commodities further comprises a plurality of rollers 6 arranged one by one corresponding to the side surfaces of the prism segments 43 , and the rollers 6 are configured to press the tubular labels 7 opened by the opening component 4 toward the side surfaces of the prism segments 43 .

[0050] In some embodiments, the axial direction of the roller 6 is parallel to the side of the corresponding prism segment 43, and the roller 6 is spaced from the edge of the prism segment 43 in the circumferential direction of the prism segment 43. After the flat label is stretched into a cylindrical label, the fold can be adjusted to align with the two opposite edges of the product. Since the fold is adjusted in direction and is not pressed and stretched by the roller, the existence of the fold makes the label have a certain clamping force, which can realize the positioning of the cylindrical label and the product with a rectangular cross-section. While realizing the adjustment of the fold orientation of the label, the above-mentioned clamping force can also be used to realize the positioning of the label and the product. The roller 6 does not press the position of the fold 71 of the label, so the fold of the label will not be flattened, thereby maintaining the clamping force of the label, so as to realize the positioning of the label and the product by using the clamping force.

[0051] The device for attaching labels to commodities further comprises a roller seat 5 , which is provided with a second through hole for allowing the expansion member 4 to pass through, the prism segment 43 is passed through the second through hole, and a plurality of rollers 6 are arranged along the circumference of the second through hole.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that the main utility model points and effects of the present application are:

[0053] 1. A label orientation adjustment mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the columnar opening member 4 (the diagonal position of the corresponding rectangular bottle can be adjusted arbitrarily);

[0054] 2. The fold of the rotating label is just located between 90° and 180° of the opening component 4 (center column) (the fold 71 does not overlap with the roller 71, and the label is not fully opened);

[0055] 3: When the label fold 71 is not opened, the label is sleeved by utilizing the clamping force of the label itself to achieve the positioning function.

[0056] According to another aspect of the present invention, a packaging device is provided, which includes the above-mentioned device for attaching labels to commodities.

[0057] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
