The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0027] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, this embodiment provides a horizontal labeling machine for pasting label paper on the surface of a bottle body. The horizontal labeling machine includes an equipment frame 12 and a printing module; a roller conveyor belt 2 and a control module are provided on the equipment frame 12. The roller conveyor belt 2 is used to convey the bottle body along the working route, and the working route passes through the first position; the printing module includes a printing base 11, a label conveying assembly, a printing detection unit 5 and a printing head 13 provided on the printing base 11. The printing base 11 is detachably connected to the equipment frame 12. The printing head 13 is used to print on the label paper. The label conveying assembly is used to convey the label paper. The printing detection unit 5 is used to monitor the bottle body located at the first position. The printing detection unit 5 is communicatively connected to the control module, and the control module can control the label conveying assembly to start or stop working.
[0028] The horizontal labeling machine adopts the design of using the printing and detection unit 5 to monitor the bottles on the roller conveyor belt 2, so that in the case of missing bottles, the label conveying component can be controlled not to send labels temporarily, effectively avoiding the situation of labeling in the case of missing bottles and preventing the waste of label paper. By limiting the working route, the conveying trajectory of the bottles can be planned. Combining with the design of the conveying trajectory of the label paper realized by the label conveying component, the labeling method of the label paper on the surface of the bottles can be improved, so that the label paper can be accurately pasted on each bottle, improving the labeling efficiency and also helping to improve the automation degree of the labeling operation. The design that the printing seat 11 is detachably connected to the equipment rack 12 enables the rapid replacement of the labeling module, thereby enabling the efficient adjustment of labeling parameters, which helps to improve the labeling efficiency and the labeling yield.
[0029] When starting the above horizontal labeling machine, only need to install labels on the label conveying component, and after adjusting the printing and labeling positions, the horizontal labeling machine can be powered on and started.
[0030] In this embodiment, the horizontal labeling machine can steplessly adjust the speed of the labeling operation according to the production characteristics of each factory. The label paper is directly called according to the corresponding template, so that it can be printed and pasted on each bottle in real time online, ensuring that the machine can be used alone or in line with other machines.
[0031] In this embodiment, the bottle body is a reagent tube; the printing and detection unit 5 is a photoelectric sensor.
[0032] Exemplarily, the label conveying component includes a label releasing wheel 3 and a label receiving wheel 4. The label releasing wheel 3 is rotatably connected to the printing seat 11 and is used for unwinding the carrier belt. The label receiving wheel 4 is rotatably connected to the printing seat 11 and is used for winding the carrier belt. The label paper is pasted on the carrier belt. The control module can control the label releasing wheel 3 and the label receiving wheel 4 to start or stop rotating synchronously. By limiting the structures of the label releasing wheel 3 and the label receiving wheel 4, the carrier belt can play the role of transporting the carrier belt, and further ensure that the label conveying component can operate stably for a long time. At the same time, the design that the control module synchronously controls the label releasing wheel 3 and the label receiving wheel 4 enables the precise control of the motion state of the carrier belt, ensuring the control ability of the control module over the working state of the label conveying component, avoiding the risk of damage to the label conveying component due to accidents, and also ensuring the long-term stable operation of the horizontal labeling machine.
[0033] Further, a label discharging plate 6 is fixedly connected to the printing seat 11, and the carrier belt bypasses the label discharging plate 6; the horizontal labeling machine further includes a label pressing component 7, and the label pressing component 7 is used for pasting the label paper passing through the label discharging plate 6 on the bottle body.
[0034] The labeling operation of tight fitting can be carried out by using the label pressing component 7, so that the label paper is completely adhered to the bottle body, and a satisfactory labeling effect can be obtained for the bottle body with an uneven surface, thus preventing the label paper from wrinkling and warping. Combining with the setting of the label output plate 6, it is ensured that the label paper to be pasted can be accurately in place, thereby further improving the efficiency and success rate of the labeling operation.
[0035] In this embodiment, the printing seat 11 is a plate-shaped member with opposite working surfaces and connecting surfaces. The connecting surface is detachably connected to the equipment rack 12. The label conveying component, the printing detection unit 5 and the printing head 13 are all arranged on the working surface. By specifically defining the structure of the printing seat 11, the risk of position conflict between components is reduced, which facilitates the quick disassembly and assembly of the printing module on the equipment rack 12. The above limitations help to optimize the specific structure of the printing module, thereby reducing the space occupied by the printing module, further reducing the workload of the operator, shortening the maintenance time of the horizontal labeling machine, and accelerating the debugging speed of the horizontal labeling machine.
[0036] Exemplarily, the working route is a straight line, and the length direction of the working route is parallel to the horizontal plane.
[0037] The limitation that the route is a straight line simplifies the movement track of the bottle body, reduces the risk of the bottle body getting off the roller conveyor belt 2 due to accident, helps to accelerate the speed of the labeling operation, and reduces the space occupied by the horizontal labeling machine. The limitation that the length direction of the working route is parallel to the horizontal plane avoids the influence of the self-weight of the bottle body on the movement of the bottle body, reduces the risk of the bottle body having a position offset due to accident, and helps to improve the success rate of the labeling operation.
[0038] In this embodiment, the horizontal labeling machine further includes a handling manipulator for taking and placing the printing module from the equipment rack 12. By setting the handling manipulator, the replacement efficiency of the printing module can be accelerated, thereby further shortening the maintenance time of the horizontal labeling machine.
[0039] Exemplarily, the working route passes through the second position and the third position. The second position is downstream of the first position, and the third position is downstream of the second position. A labeling detection unit 8 and a pusher unit are communicatively connected to the equipment rack 12. The labeling detection unit 8 is used to detect the bottle body at the second position and classify the detected bottle body into good products and defective products. The pusher unit is used to push the defective products at the third position out of the roller conveyor belt 2. Specifically, the detection of the bottle body by the labeling detection unit 8 is CCD detection. By CCD detection of whether there is printing and labeling, the defective products can be directly removed. The above design improves the screening efficiency, reduces the workload of the operator, and reduces the risk of misoperation by the operator.
[0040] Further, a waste collection bin 9 is fixedly connected to the equipment rack 12, and the waste collection bin 9 is used to store defective products separated from the roller conveyor belt 2.
[0041] The setting of the waste collection bin 9 realizes the effective storage of defective products, thereby avoiding the situation where defective products are scattered in the working environment, helping to improve the cleanliness of the working environment, and reducing the workload of operators in collecting defective products.
[0042] In this embodiment, a conveying drive unit 10 is provided on the equipment rack 12. The conveying drive unit 10 is used to drive the roller conveyor belt 2, and the control module is communicatively connected to the conveying drive unit 10. Specifically, the conveying drive unit 10 is a servo motor.
[0043] By adopting the setting of the conveying drive unit 10, the precise control of the working state of the roller conveyor belt 2 can be realized, and at the same time, the control ability of the control module for the specific position of the bottle body is ensured, guaranteeing the long-term stable operation of the horizontal labeling machine.
[0044] Exemplarily, the control module includes a display 1, and the display 1 is fixedly connected to the equipment rack 12. The setting of the display 1 facilitates the interaction between the operator and the control module, so that the control module can make different adjustments according to the actual working conditions, thereby reducing the debugging difficulty of the control module, improving the use flexibility of the horizontal labeling machine, expanding the application scenarios of the horizontal labeling machine, and helping to improve the degree of automation.
[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limitations on the embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
