[0029] like Figure 1As shown, some embodiments of the present application provide a labeling device, including a mounting seat 1, a feeding mechanism 2 and a labeling mechanism 3, wherein the mounting seat 1 includes a base plate 11, the feeding mechanism 2 and the labeling mechanism 3 are both mounted on the base plate 11, and the labeling mechanism 3 is located on one side of the feeding mechanism 2 to facilitate label removal. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a label peeling assembly for peeling the label from the release paper so that the labeling mechanism 3 can remove the label. The labeling mechanism 3 includes a driving assembly and a labeling head, and the driving assembly can drive the labeling head to move so that the labeling head can complete label removal and labeling under the drive of the driving assembly, thereby realizing the labeling operation of the labeling device of the present application. Furthermore, the labeling device of the present application can be installed at any workstation where labeling is required through the mounting seat 1, which is conducive to improving the versatility of the labeling device of the present application.

[0030] In some embodiments, the mounting base 1 further includes a support frame 12 mounted on the base plate 11. More than one support frame 12 is provided to improve the stability of the base plate 11. Each support frame 12 is connected to a mounting plate 13. The labeling device of the present application is connected to other structural components via the mounting plate 13 so that the labeling device of the present application can be installed at a workstation where labeling is required.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 2 further includes a label storage assembly and a release paper recovery assembly. The label storage assembly is used to store roll labels, and the release paper recovery assembly is used to recover the release paper. During the release paper recovery process, the release paper recovery assembly can drive the roll label to rotate, releasing the label paper, allowing the label peeling assembly to separate the label from the release paper, allowing the labeling mechanism 3 to remove the label.

[0032] Illustratively, the label storage assembly includes a rotating wheel 21 and a winding roller 22. The label roll is mounted on the rotating wheel 21. When the label roll rotates, driven by the release paper recycling assembly, the rotating wheel 21 can rotate synchronously with the label roll or independently. Multiple winding rollers 22 are provided, and label paper is wound around them for transport.

[0033] It should be noted that the label paper is a combination of a label and a release paper, that is, a state in which a label is attached to the release paper.

[0034] In some embodiments, the release paper recovery assembly includes a first driving member 23, a transmission member 24, and a recovery roller 25. The release paper is wound around the recovery roller 25, and the first driving member 23 drives the recovery roller 25 to rotate through the transmission member 24, thereby recovering the release paper.

[0035] It should be noted that the head of the label paper is wound around the recovery roller 25, and the rotation of the recovery roller 25 drives the roll label to rotate, thereby conveying the label paper.

[0036] Exemplarily, the transmission component 24 may include a driving wheel 241, a driven wheel 242, and a conveyor belt 243, wherein the conveyor belt 243 is connected to both the driving wheel 241 and the driven wheel 242. The driving wheel 241 is connected to the driving end of the first driving member 23, and the driven wheel 242 is connected to the driving end of the recovery roller 25. The first driving member 23 drives the driving wheel 241 to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 242 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the driven wheel 242 ultimately drives the recovery roller 25 to rotate synchronously.

[0037] Exemplarily, the first driving member 23 provides driving force for the rotation of the recovery roller 25 , including but not limited to being set as a servo motor, etc.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the label peeling assembly includes a peeling plate 26 and a receiving plate 27. The receiving plate 27 is provided with a guide bevel 271. The guide bevel 271 is located on the side of the receiving plate 27 facing the peeling plate 26 and forms an acute angle with the label receiving surface of the receiving plate 27. The recovery roller 25 of the release paper recovery assembly is located on the extension line of the guide bevel 271 and on the side facing away from the label receiving surface. A gap is provided between the peeling plate 26 and the receiving plate 27 to accommodate the release paper. After the release paper passes through the gap, it is wrapped around the recovery roller 25 along the guide bevel 271. The label is placed on the label receiving surface. Because the angle between the guide bevel 271 and the label receiving surface is acute, when the label passes through the gap, it can be lifted from the release paper, allowing the peeling plate 26 to peel the label.

[0039] It should be noted that the gap between the stripping plate 26 and the receiving plate 27 is set to only allow the release paper to pass through, and should not be set too large. If the gap is too large, it will be difficult for the stripping plate 26 to strip the label. The label peeled by the stripping plate 26 is laid flat on the stripping plate 26 for the label head to remove the label.

[0040] Exemplarily, the peeling plate 26 is configured as a thin sheet structure to facilitate peeling of the label, and the peeling plate 26 is made of a material that is not easily adhered to the adhesive backing of the label.

[0041] Specifically, the receiving plate 27 is mounted with a limit plate 28 , and the limit plates 28 are located on both sides of the label paper conveying direction to limit the label paper.

[0042] It should be noted that the feeding mechanism 2 is connected to the bottom plate 11 via a first side plate 29 , wherein the label peeling assembly, the label storage assembly and the release paper recovery assembly are all connected to the first side plate 29 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a second drive member 31 and a third drive member 32, wherein the third drive member 32 is connected to the drive end of the second drive member 31, and the labeling head is connected to the drive end of the third drive member 32. The second drive member 31 can drive the third drive member 32 to rotate, thereby driving the labeling head to switch between the label removal and label application positions. The third drive member 32 can drive the labeling head in a linear direction. When the labeling head is removing a label, the third drive member 32 can shorten the distance between the labeling head and the label; when the labeling head is applying a label, the third drive member 32 can shorten the distance between the labeling head and the material box. This arrangement helps prevent collisions between the labeling head and the peeling plate 26 when the second drive member 31 drives the third drive member 32 to rotate.

[0044] Exemplarily, the second driving member 31 provides driving force for the rotation of the labeling head, including but not limited to a rotary cylinder, etc. The third driving member 32 provides driving force for the linear movement of the labeling head, including but not limited to a linear cylinder, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, the drive assembly further includes a fourth drive member 33, to which the second drive member 31 is connected for driving. The fourth drive member 33 is capable of driving the second drive member 31 to move in a linear direction. When the labeling head is applying labels, the fourth drive member 33 can move the labeling head toward the material bin, enabling the labeling device of the present application to adapt to different labeling stations.

[0046] Exemplarily, the fourth driving member 33 provides driving force for the linear movement of the labeling head, including but not limited to being set as a motor module, a linear cylinder, etc.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the labeling head includes a first mounting plate 34 and a second mounting plate 35 that are connected. An airtight cavity is formed between the first mounting plate 34 and the second mounting plate 35, and a seal 36 is provided between the first mounting plate 34 and the second mounting plate 35 to seal the airtight cavity, so that the airtight cavity becomes a closed chamber. Furthermore, the airtight cavity is connected to an air pump element, and air holes are provided on the second mounting plate 35. When the labeling head needs to take a label, the air pump element forms a negative pressure state between the air holes of the second mounting plate 35 and the label to adsorb the label. When the labeling head completes labeling, the air pump element forms a normal air pressure state between the air holes of the second mounting plate 35 and the label to release the label.

[0048] It should be noted that the labeling mechanism 3 is mounted on the bottom plate 11 via the second side plate.

[0049] To sum up, the utility model provides a labeling device, in which the label peeling component of the feeding mechanism can peel the label from the release paper to provide a label without the release paper, and the driving component of the labeling mechanism drives the labeling head to complete the label removal and labeling, thereby realizing the labeling operation of the labeling device of the present application; and the labeling device of the present application can be installed at any workstation on the production line where labeling is required through the mounting seat, which is conducive to improving the versatility of the labeling device of the present application.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, some embodiments of the present application further provide a production line comprising a conveyor line 4, a lifting assembly, and the aforementioned labeling device. The conveyor line 4 is used to transport material boxes and is provided with a labeling station. The labeling device is mounted on one side of the conveyor line 4 via a mounting base 1 and is positioned corresponding to the labeling station. The lifting assembly is mounted below the conveyor line 4 and is located at the labeling station.

[0051] The lifting assembly includes a fifth drive member 41 and a lifting rod 42. When the conveyor line 4 delivers a material box to the labeling station, the fifth drive member 41 drives the lifting rod 42 to extend, lifting the swing cover of the material box, allowing the labeling device to apply labels to the outer wall of the material box. After the labeling device completes the labeling operation, the fifth drive member 41 drives the lifting rod 42 back to its initial position, preparing for the next lifting of the swing cover.

[0052] Exemplarily, the fifth driving member 41 provides driving force for extending and retracting the lifting rod 42 to the conveyor line 4, including but not limited to being set as a linear cylinder, etc.

[0053] In some embodiments, the conveyor line 4 is further provided with a sensor and a limiter assembly, and at least one sensor and limiter assembly are provided. The sensor and the limiter assembly cooperate to block the material box at the labeling station to complete the labeling of the material box, and / or prevent the material box from entering the labeling station to prevent the subsequent material box from entering the labeling station and thus affecting the labeling operation of the previous material box.

[0054] Specifically, a first sensor 43 and a second sensor 44 are installed on the conveyor line 4. The first sensor 43 is set at the starting end of the labeling station to monitor the material box entering the labeling station; the second sensor 44 is set at the end of the labeling station to detect the material box leaving the labeling station, so as to obtain the position of the material box on the conveyor line 4 in real time.

[0055] Exemplarily, the first sensor 43 and the second sensor 44 are used to monitor the position of the material box on the conveyor line 4, including but not limited to being set as a photoelectric sensor, a proximity switch, etc.

[0056] Specifically, a first limiting assembly and a second limiting assembly are further provided below the conveyor line 4, located at the end and starting end of the labeling station, respectively. The first limiting assembly includes a first baffle 45 and a sixth drive member 46, while the second limiting assembly includes a second baffle 47 and a seventh drive member 48.

[0057] When the first sensor 43 detects the first material box, the sixth drive member 46 drives the first baffle 45 to extend from the conveyor line 4 to block the first material box at the labeling station. When the first sensor 43 detects the second material box and the second sensor 44 does not detect the first material box leaving the labeling station, the seventh drive member 48 drives the second baffle 47 to extend from the conveyor line 4 to block the second material box at the front end of the labeling station to prevent the second material box from entering the labeling station. When the labeling device completes the labeling operation on the first material box, the sixth drive member 46 drives the first baffle 45 to retract to the conveyor line 4 to allow the first material box to leave the labeling station. Subsequently, the seventh drive member 48 drives the second baffle 47 to retract to the conveyor line 4 to allow the second material box to enter the labeling station for the labeling operation.

[0058] During the labeling operation of the first material box at the labeling station, if the first sensor 43 does not detect the second material box, the second baffle 47 is in the initial position, that is, the seventh driving member 48 does not drive the second baffle 47 to extend out of the conveyor line 4.

[0059] Exemplarily, the sixth driving member 46 provides driving force for the movement of the first baffle 45, including but not limited to being set as a linear cylinder, etc. The seventh driving member 48 provides driving force for the movement of the second baffle 47, including but not limited to being set as a linear cylinder, etc.

[0060] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
