Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of labeling machines, in particular to a bottle label smoothing device. Background Art

[0002] Labels explain products and facilitate their sales and management. Labels, featuring trademarks, product specifications and key parameters, instructions for use, and product information, are an indispensable component of modern packaging. The basic labeling process involves: 1. Label removal, where a label removal mechanism removes the label from the label cassette; 2. Label transfer, where the label is delivered to the labeling unit; 3. Gluing, where adhesive is applied to the back of the label; and 4. Label application, where the label is affixed to the designated location on the product bottle.

[0003] During the initial stage of label application, the adhesive's peel strength is low. Consequently, the corners of the label can easily peel away from the bottle during transport, compromising product quality and aesthetically pleasing packaging. If the label is applied to the bottle later in production, the dried adhesive will no longer allow the label to adhere properly to the bottle, requiring additional adhesive to be applied to the back of the label to achieve a secure fit, reducing production efficiency.

[0028] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] The present technical solution provides a bottle label smoothing device, comprising a conveying mechanism 1, a label smoothing mechanism 2, a movable push plate mechanism 3 and a fixed baffle mechanism 4; the conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey bottles 5 after being labeled; the label smoothing mechanism 2 and the movable push plate mechanism 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying mechanism 1 along the conveying direction, and the movable push plate mechanism 3 is used to push the bottles 5 toward the label smoothing mechanism 2; the fixed baffle mechanism 4 is installed on one side of the conveying mechanism 1, and the fixed baffle mechanism 4 and the label smoothing mechanism 2 are located on the same side of the conveying mechanism 1, and the fixed baffle mechanism 4 is located at the end of the label smoothing mechanism 2;

[0030] The label smoothing mechanism 2 includes an installation box 21 and a smoothing belt 22, and the smoothing belt 22 is rotatably installed inside the installation box 21; the inner side surface of the installation box 21 is opened, and the inner section of the smoothing belt 22 protrudes from the inner side surface of the installation box 21, and the surface of the inner section of the smoothing belt 22 is used to abut against the bottle body of the bottle 5, and the movement direction of the inner section of the smoothing belt 22 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1.

[0031] In existing labeling processes, the adhesive's peel strength is low during the initial stage of label application. As a result, the corners of the label are easily peeled off the bottle during transport, compromising product quality and aesthetically pleasing packaging. If the label is applied to the bottle later in production, the dried adhesive will not allow the label to adhere to the bottle again, requiring a further application of adhesive to the back of the label to achieve a tight fit, reducing production efficiency.

[0032] Therefore, in order to prevent the corners of the label from being lifted from the bottle body during transportation and to ensure that the label is completely attached to the bottle body, this technical solution proposes a bottle label smoothing device, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a conveying mechanism 1 for conveying bottles 5, a label smoothing mechanism 2 for pressing against the bottle body of the bottle 5 to press the bottle body label, a movable pushing plate mechanism 3 for pushing the bottle 5 toward the label smoothing mechanism 2, and a fixed baffle mechanism 4 for preventing the bottle 5 from falling off the conveying mechanism 1 during the pushing process.

[0033] The working process of the bottle label smoothing device of this scheme is as follows Figure 4As shown, bottles 5 are loaded onto the loading end of conveyor mechanism 1 and driven by conveyor mechanism 1 to be unloaded at the unloading end. During the conveying process, the movable push plate mechanism 3 pushes the bottles 5 toward the label-smoothing mechanism 2, causing the bottle bodies of the bottles 5 to contact the inner surface of the smoothing belt 22. Due to the friction between the smoothing belt 22 and the bottle bodies, the smoothing belt 22 causes the bottles 5 to rotate during conveying. Specifically, the conveyor mechanism 1, the label-smoothing mechanism 2, and the movable push plate mechanism 3 cause the bottles 5 to rotate while moving toward the unloading end along the conveying direction. Both the label-smoothing mechanism 2 and the movable push plate mechanism 3 act in opposition to the bottle bodies, thereby compressing and smoothing the labels during rotation.

[0034] It should be noted that the conveying mechanism 1 of this solution is a conventional conveying device in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Further explanation: the label smoothing mechanism 2 also includes a plurality of guide columns 23, which are rotatably installed side by side inside the installation box 21 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the rotating shaft of the guide column 23 extends vertically; the smoothing belt 22 is wound around the outside of the plurality of guide columns 23, and the rotation of the guide column 23 drives the movement of the smoothing belt 22.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, the label smoothing mechanism 2 further includes a plurality of guide posts 23, and the smoothing belt 22 is wound around the outside of the plurality of guide posts 23, which is conducive to straightening the middle portion of the inner section of the smoothing belt 22, ensuring that when the movable push plate mechanism 3 pushes the bottle 5 toward the label smoothing mechanism 2, the smoothing belt 22 can effectively resist the bottle body and drive the bottle 5 to rotate.

[0037] To further explain, the plurality of guide posts 23 can all move up and down relative to the installation box 21 .

[0038] As a better embodiment of the above, the guide column 23 moves up and down relative to the installation box 21, thereby driving the setting height of the smoothing belt 22, so that the smoothing device of this solution can adjust the setting height of the smoothing belt 22 according to the fitting position of the label, thereby improving the applicability of the smoothing device.

[0039] To further explain, the movable push plate mechanism 3 includes a mounting seat 31, a push rod 32 and a push plate 33; the mounting seat 31 is protrudingly mounted on the side of the conveying mechanism 1; the push rod 32 extends horizontally through the upper part of the mounting seat 31, and the extension direction of the push rod 32 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the push rod 32 moves horizontally relative to the mounting seat 31; the push plate 33 is horizontally extended and mounted on the inner end portion of the push rod 32, and the extension direction of the push plate 33 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the horizontal movement of the push rod 32 drives the push plate 33 to approach and move away from the middle of the conveying mechanism 1.

[0040] Specifically, the movable push plate mechanism 3 of this solution includes a mounting base 31, a push rod 32 and a push plate 33. The push plate 33 is driven to move closer to and away from the middle of the conveying mechanism 1 through the horizontal movement of the push rod 32, thereby realizing the push of the bottle 5 by the movable push plate mechanism 3. The structure is simple and the performance is reliable.

[0041] To further illustrate, the movable push plate mechanism 3 further includes a locking rod 34 , which is mounted on the upper portion of the mounting seat 31 , and the inner end portion of the locking rod 34 can pass through the middle portion of the push rod 32 ;

[0042] The locking lever 34 includes a locked state and an unlocked state:

[0043] When the locking rod 34 is in the locked state, the mounting seat 31 and the push rod 32 are relatively stationary;

[0044] When the locking rod 34 is in the unlocked state, the push rod 32 moves horizontally relative to the mounting seat 31 .

[0045] Furthermore, the present solution also provides a locking rod 34 for adjusting the movement of the push rod 32 in the movable push plate mechanism 3, so as to adjust the distance between the label smoothing mechanism 2 and the movable push plate mechanism 3 according to bottles 5 of different sizes, thereby ensuring that the bottles 5 are transported and rotated on the conveying mechanism 1 at the same time, further improving the applicability of the smoothing device.

[0046] In some embodiments, the movable push plate mechanism 3 and the fixed baffle mechanism 4 of this solution have the same structure.

[0047] To further illustrate, there are two groups of the fixed baffle mechanisms 4 , and the two groups of the fixed baffle mechanisms 4 are respectively located at the two ends of the label smoothing mechanism 2 .

[0048] In this way, the smoothing device can be effectively connected with other devices in other production processes to ensure the smooth progress of the production process.

[0049] To further illustrate, the total length of the fixed baffle mechanism 4 and the label smoothing mechanism 2 along the conveying direction is equal to the length of the movable push plate mechanism 3 along the conveying direction.

[0050] In this way, the bottles 5 can be effectively prevented from falling off the conveying mechanism 1 during the smoothing process.
