Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of labeling machines, in particular to a folding labeling machine. Background Art

[0002] Cables require labels to indicate their brand, model, performance parameters, and other information. Previously, manual labeling was done over long periods of time, which could easily lead to uneven labeling surfaces and require time-consuming rework. If the rework failed, the product had to be discarded, resulting in a high scrap rate. Labeling machines have gradually emerged on the market, improving labeling success rates and efficiency while reducing the likelihood of rework.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent publication No. CN205345549U discloses an automatic labeling device for applying labels to optical fiber cables. The device includes a fixing structure for securing an optical transceiver module assembly and a connector to keep the optical fiber cable suspended, a label printer, a label peeling machine for peeling the backing paper off the label printed by the label printer to form a label paper, a label suction mechanism, and a labeling mechanism. The label suction mechanism includes a vacuum nozzle positioned directly above the optical fiber cable to absorb the label paper and apply it to the optical fiber cable. The labeling mechanism includes a labeling chuck that folds the label paper on the optical fiber cable in half and clamps it. A worker inserts the cable into the cable trough and manually presses the cable to hold it in a straight position. The label printer then prints the corresponding label. The label peeling machine peels the backing paper off the label to form a label paper. The vacuum nozzle of the label suction mechanism picks up the label paper and moves downward to apply it to the cable. The labeling chuck of the labeling mechanism then moves to the cable and folds the label in half and clamps it.

[0004] The technical solution in the aforementioned patent document achieves the automatic peeling, suction, attachment, and folding of label paper onto the outer surface of the cable. However, the attachment and folding of the label paper onto the outer surface of the cable are performed in two steps by two devices, the label suction mechanism and the labeling mechanism. After the label suction mechanism attaches the label paper to one side of the top surface of the cable, the label suction mechanism moves upward and away from the cable. The portion of the label paper not attached to the cable is now free and susceptible to falling due to gravity and attaching to each other. This can easily cause the label paper to be skewed and wrinkled, affecting the labeling quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a folding labeling machine to solve the problem that the existing cable labeling machine performs the label paper pasting and folding and clamping on the outer surface of the cable separately. After the label paper is pasted on the cable, the two ends are in a free state, which easily causes the label paper to stick to the cable by itself, resulting in skewness and wrinkles, thereby affecting the labeling quality.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an embodiment of the present invention provides a folding labeling machine, including a workbench, a label peeling device, a translation mechanism, a folding mechanism and a positioning mechanism; the label peeling device, the translation mechanism and the positioning mechanism are arranged on the workbench, and the translation mechanism is arranged on one side of the label peeling device, and the positioning mechanism is arranged at one end of the translation mechanism; the positioning mechanism includes two oppositely arranged positioning supports, and the top side of the positioning support is provided with a positioning groove for positioning the cable to be labeled; an avoidance space is formed between the two positioning supports; the folding mechanism is arranged on the translation mechanism, and the folding mechanism includes a mounting seat, two flip plates and a driving member, the mounting seat is connected to the translation mechanism, and the two flip plates are relatively rotatably arranged on the mounting seat, and the top side of the flip plate is provided with an adsorption hole for adsorbing the label peeled off by the label peeling device; the driving member drives the two flip plates to flip.

[0007] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism also includes a lifting cylinder and a lifting seat, the lifting cylinder is arranged on the workbench, the lifting seat is arranged on the lifting cylinder, and the two positioning support members are arranged on the lifting seat.

[0008] Furthermore, a support member is extended from one side of the positioning support member, and a support block is provided on the support member, and the support block is used to support the end of the cable.

[0009] Furthermore, a slide groove is provided on the support member, and the support block is slidably connected to the slide groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting seat has two side plates extending upward, and the two flip plates are rotatably connected between the two side plates; an open groove is provided on the top side of the side plate, and the two flip plates are located on both sides of the open groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a pushing portion extends from the bottom side of the flip plate, and the pushing portion is provided with an oblique groove; the driving member includes a cylinder and a toggle member, and the toggle member is provided on the piston rod of the cylinder, and the toggle member is provided with a toggle pin extending into the oblique groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting seat is arranged on the cylinder body of the cylinder, and the cylinder is connected to the translation mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the label stripping device is further provided with an air pipe, and the air pipe is provided with air holes for blowing air toward the top side of the flip plate.

[0014] The above one or more technical solutions in the folding labeling machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention have at least the following technical effects:

[0015] Because the label-stripping device is located on one side of the translation mechanism, the folding mechanism is located on the translation mechanism. The folding mechanism includes a mounting seat, two flip plates, and a drive element. The mounting seat is connected to the translation mechanism, and the two flip plates are mounted on the mounting seat so as to rotate relative to each other. The top sides of the flip plates are provided with suction holes to absorb the labels removed by the label-stripping device. A positioning mechanism is located at one end of the translation mechanism. The positioning mechanism includes two opposing positioning supports, each with a positioning groove on its top side for positioning the cable to be labeled. A clearance space is formed between the two positioning supports, allowing the translation mechanism to drive the folding mechanism, with the label attached, into the clearance space. The drive element of the folding mechanism flips the two flip plates, causing the attached label to be folded and attached directly around the cable, so that the label adheres to the outside of the cable. The flipping of the two flip plates simultaneously folds and adheres the label, ensuring that the label precisely adheres to the outer surface of the cable and improving the quality of the folded labeling.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connected," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0031] In one embodiment of the folding labeling machine of the present invention, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The folding labeling machine includes a workbench 100, a label peeling device 200, a translation mechanism 300, a folding mechanism 400, and a positioning mechanism 500. The label peeling device 200, the translation mechanism 300, and the positioning mechanism 500 are arranged on the workbench 100, with the translation mechanism 300 being arranged on one side of the label peeling device 200, and the positioning mechanism 500 being arranged at one end of the translation mechanism 300. The positioning mechanism 500 includes two opposing positioning supports 510, each having a positioning groove 511 formed on its top side for positioning the cable to be labeled. An escape space 520 is formed between the two positioning supports 510. The folding mechanism 400 is mounted on the translation mechanism 300 and includes a mounting base 410, two flip plates 420, and a driver 430. The mounting base 410 is connected to the translation mechanism 300, and the two flip plates 420 are mounted on the mounting base 410 so as to rotate relative to each other. The top sides of the flip plates 420 are provided with suction holes 421 for absorbing labels removed by the label stripping device 200. The driver 430 drives the flip plates 420 to flip.

[0032] Specifically, since the label stripping device 200 is disposed on one side of the translation mechanism 300, the folding mechanism 400 is disposed on the translation mechanism 300. The folding mechanism 400 includes a mounting base 410, two flip plates 420, and a driving member 430. The mounting base 410 is connected to the translation mechanism 300, and the two flip plates 420 are disposed on the mounting base 410 so as to rotate relative to each other. The flip plates 420 have suction holes 421 on their top sides to absorb the labels peeled by the label stripping device 200. Furthermore, a positioning mechanism 500 is disposed at one end of the translation mechanism 300. The positioning mechanism 500 includes two opposing positioning supports 510. The positioning supports 510 have positioning grooves 511 on their top sides for positioning the cable to be labeled. An escape space 520 is formed between the two positioning supports 510, so that the translation mechanism 300 drives the folding mechanism 400, with the label absorbed thereon, to move into the escape space 520. The folding mechanism's driver 430 flips the two flip plates 420, causing the attached label to be folded and applied directly around the cable, ensuring the label adheres to the cable's exterior. This simultaneous flipping of the two flip plates 420 ensures the label adheres precisely to the cable's exterior, improving the quality of the folded label.

[0033] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 500 also includes a lifting cylinder 530 and a lifting seat 540. The lifting cylinder 530 is disposed on the workbench 100, the lifting seat 540 is disposed on the lifting cylinder 530, and two positioning supports 510 are disposed on the lifting seat 540. Specifically, the two positioning supports 510 are disposed on the lifting seat 540. When the translation mechanism 300 drives the folding mechanism 400 with the label adsorbed thereon to move into the avoidance space 520, the lifting cylinder 530 drives the lifting seat 540 downward, driving the cable positioned by the two positioning supports 510 downward to the folding mechanism 400, so that the bottom of the cable is in close contact with the label and adheres to it. The driving member 430 of the folding mechanism 400 then drives the flip plate 420 to flip, so that the label is adhered to each other around the outside of the cable, further improving the accuracy of the label folding and pasting.

[0034] Furthermore, a support member 550 extends from one side of the positioning support member 510. The support member 550 is provided with a support block 551. The support block 551 is used to support the end of the cable. Specifically, the support block 551 supports the end of the cable, improves the stability of the cable positioned by the two positioning supports 510, and prevents the cable from shaking when moving up and down.

[0035] Furthermore, the support member 550 is provided with a slide groove 552, and the support block 551 is slidably connected to the slide groove 552. Specifically, the support block 551 is slidably connected to the slide groove 552 on the support member, which facilitates adjusting the distance between the support block 551 and the positioning support member 510 according to the length of the cable, and is suitable for positioning cables of different lengths.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting base 410 has two side panels 411 extending upward, and two flip plates 420 are rotatably connected between the side panels 411. An open slot 412 is provided on the top side of the side panels 411, and the two flip plates 420 are located on either side of the open slot 412. Specifically, the two flip plates 420 are located on either side of the open slot 412 on the top side of the side panels, and the open slot 412 prevents interference between the two flip plates 420 during rotation.

[0037] Furthermore, a pusher 440 extends from the bottom side of the flip plate 420 and is provided with an inclined slot 441. The driving member 430 includes a cylinder 431 and a toggle 432. The toggle 432 is mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder 431 and is provided with a toggle pin 433 that extends into the inclined slot 441. Specifically, because the toggle 432 is provided with a toggle pin 433 that extends into the pusher's inclined slot 441, the pusher 440 is connected to the bottom side of the flip plate 420. When the cylinder 431 drives the toggle 432 upward, the toggle pin 433 moves along the other end of the inclined slot 441, thereby driving the pusher 44 and the two flip plates 420 to rotate together.

[0038] Furthermore, the mounting base 410 is provided on the cylinder body of the cylinder 431, and the cylinder 431 is connected to the translation mechanism 300. Specifically, when the translation mechanism 300 drives the cylinder 431 to translate, the cylinder 431 drives the mounting base 410 and the flip plate 420 to move together.

[0039] Furthermore, the label stripping device 200 is provided with an air pipe 210 having air holes for blowing air toward the top side of the flip plate 420. Specifically, the air pipe 210 blows air toward the top side of the flip plate 420 to ensure that the label stripped by the label stripping device 200 is stably attached to the flip plate 420, preventing the label from folding during the stripping process.

[0040] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
