Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical technology, in particular to a handheld test tube labeling machine. Background Art

[0002] In the medical field, due to work such as sampling and inspection, it is generally necessary to label various test tubes to facilitate identification and avoid errors in subsequent processes. For a large number of test tubes, in the case of dozens or hundreds of them, the existing labeling is to print in rolls through a label printer. The label printer can be specifically referred to Chinese Patent CN115107384A, which can print label strips in batches. For the printed label strips, the label strips are torn off from the release paper by hand and then pasted on the arc surface of the test tube. In practice, medical staff need to tear the label strip off the release paper. Sometimes, due to incorrect tearing force or manual error, or directly sticking to the hand, the torn label strip will have a corner fold or breakage or poor adhesion. When pasted on the test tube again, there will be a phenomenon of label strip breakage or corner fold, which affects the later use and storage. Moreover, the outer wall of the test tube is an arc surface, which is not convenient for pasting and cannot meet the existing labeling requirements.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a handheld test tube labeling machine to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the working process of the handheld test tube labeling machine 100 of the present utility model:

[0031] A whole roll of label paper 10 printed in advance by a label printer. The whole roll of label paper 10 has blank spaces at the front and back. The whole roll of label paper 10 is installed on the label unwinding wheel 2 and covered by an outer baffle 91. After installation, the starting end of the label paper 10 passes through the guiding channel 11 in sequence, winds around the separator 3, passes through the gap 19 formed between the second mounting block 15 and the third mounting block 16 for the release paper to pass through, and finally enters the second mounting block 15, winds around the release paper winding wheel 5, adjusts the position of the label paper 10 and connects it, and covers the cover plate 17.

[0032] Insert the corresponding test tube directly into the labeling hole 12. The labeling hole 12 can quickly position the test tube, that is, it is positioned as soon as it is inserted. Turn on the start button. The release paper winding wheel 5 rotates under the drive of the winding drive assembly 6 and drives the label unwinding wheel 2 to rotate. The label paper 10 advances. As the label paper 10 unwinds from the label unwinding wheel 2, it passes through the guiding channel 11 in sequence and is finally wound by the release paper winding wheel 5. When the label paper 10 with labels passes through the separation area 32, the separation tip 31 of the separator 3 will separate the label from the release paper. The label enters the labeling hole 12 at the output end of the guiding channel 11 as the release paper turns forward.

[0033] By providing the labeling holes 12 penetratingly, through which test tubes can pass, when it is necessary to attach labels to the arc surfaces of the test tubes, the test tubes are directly inserted into the labeling holes 12. The labeling holes 12 can quickly position the test tubes, that is, they are positioned as soon as they are inserted. As the label paper 10 is unrolled from the label unwinding roller 2, it passes through the guiding channel 11 in sequence and is finally wound by the release paper winding roller 5. It can be understood that the label itself is a paper structure with a certain hardness, and the release paper is flexible. When the label paper 10 with the label passes through the separation area 32, the separation tip 31 of the separator 3 will separate the label from the release paper. The label enters the labeling hole 12 at the output end of the guiding channel 11 as the release paper turns and advances. The starting end of the label adheres to the test tube in the labeling hole 12. The first pressing wheel 4 communicates with the labeling hole 12, and the first pressing wheel 4 extends into the labeling hole 12 and is in rolling connection with the test tube. By the rotation of the first pressing wheel 4, the test tube is driven to rotate and the separated label is attached to the outer wall of the test tube. As the test tube rotates, the entire label is wound around and attached to the test tube and is tightly attached under the pressing of the first pressing wheel 4. The rolling of the first pressing wheel 4 not only serves to drive the rotation of the test tube but also can press the label. In other words, the handheld test tube labeling machine 100 of the present invention can quickly label the arc-shaped test tube walls, avoiding the errors of manual attachment, and has the advantages of excellent labeling effect and convenient labeling.
