Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling technology, and in particular to a labeling and straightening mechanism for flat round bottles. Background Technology

[0002] A labeling machine is a device that uses adhesive to affix paper or metal foil labels to designated packaging containers. Labeling machines are an indispensable part of modern packaging. Currently, the types of labeling machines produced in my country are gradually increasing, and the technical level has also greatly improved. The industry has shifted from the backward situation of manual and semi-automatic labeling to a situation where automated high-speed labeling machines occupy a large market share.

[0003] When labeling packaging bottles, the bottles are conveyed by a conveyor belt. During this process, external factors can cause the bottles to shift position, resulting in inaccurate labeling and poor labeling quality. To address this issue, manufacturers install a clamping and straightening mechanism on the conveyor belt, as illustrated in Chinese Patent: 2018219038343. This mechanism straightens the bottles during transport, improving the quality of subsequent labeling.

[0004] However, with the development of the packaging material market, packaging materials come in various shapes, such as flat round bottles. When a clamping and straightening mechanism is used to straighten the flat round bottles, there will still be some deviation after the bottles are clamped, which will result in poor accuracy of the conveying position of the flat round bottles and affect the subsequent labeling quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple, reasonably designed, and non-deformable labeling and straightening mechanism for flat and round bottles.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention can be implemented using the following technical solutions:

[0007] A labeling and straightening mechanism for flat round bottles includes a mounting bracket, an adjusting component, and a clamping component. The mounting bracket has adjusting components at both ends, and clamping components are mounted on both adjusting components at each end, with the two sets of clamping components positioned opposite each other. The adjusting component can drive the clamping components to move. The mounting bracket is used to install the straightening mechanism at the conveyor line of the flat round bottles, positioning the two sets of clamping components on both sides of the conveyor line. The adjusting component is used to adjust the distance between the two sets of clamping components, and the two sets of clamping components are used to correct and straighten the flat round bottles conveyed on the conveyor line.

[0008] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket includes guide rods and end plates. There are two guide rods arranged side by side, and end plates are connected to both ends of the guide rods. The two guide rods and the end plates at both ends form a mounting bracket.

[0009] In one embodiment, the guide rod is also provided with two fixing plates.

[0010] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes a sliding seat, an adjusting screw, and a rotating handle. The adjusting screw is rotatably mounted on an end plate and its end is connected to the rotating handle. The sliding seat is movably mounted on a guide rod and connected to the adjusting screw. Turning the rotating handle drives the adjusting screw to rotate, thereby causing the sliding seat to slide along the guide rod.

[0011] In one embodiment, the sliding seat is provided with a mounting base.

[0012] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a drive component, a mounting plate, a fixing frame, and rollers. The drive component is connected to the mounting base, and the mounting plate is connected to the output end of the drive component. The drive component can drive the mounting plate to extend or retract. Fixing frames are connected to both sides of the mounting plate, and rollers are installed on both sets of fixing frames.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting base has a first adjustment hole arranged longitudinally, through which the drive member can adjust the longitudinal height, thereby adjusting the vertical position of the roller.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mounting plate has a second adjustment hole arranged laterally, through which the fixing bracket can be adjusted to adjust its lateral position, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of rollers.

[0015] In one embodiment, the driving element is a cylinder.

[0016] In one embodiment, the roller is made of plastic nylon. Beneficial effects

[0017] This utility model relates to a labeling and straightening mechanism for flat, round bottles. A mounting bracket fixes the straightening mechanism to the conveyor line, with clamping components at both ends of the bracket positioned on opposite sides of the conveyor line. When the conveyor line transports the flat, round bottle to the straightening components, the clamping components on both sides move towards each other, simultaneously acting on both sides of the bottle to straighten it. This prevents deviation after clamping and ensures the accuracy of the bottle's orientation during transport. Furthermore, the spacing between the two sets of clamping components can be adjusted using an adjustment mechanism to accommodate flat, round bottles of different sizes, thereby improving the practicality of the straightening mechanism and resulting in a simple and rationally designed overall structure.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 A labeling and straightening mechanism for flat round bottles includes a mounting bracket 100, an adjusting component 200, and a clamping component 300. The mounting bracket 100 has adjusting components 200 at both ends, and clamping components 300 are provided on both adjusting components 200 at each end, with the two sets of clamping components 300 positioned opposite each other. The adjusting components 200 can drive the clamping components 300 to move. The mounting bracket 100 is used to install the straightening mechanism at the conveyor line of the flat round bottles, and to position the two sets of clamping components 300 on both sides of the conveyor line. The adjusting component 200 is used to adjust the distance between the two sets of clamping components 300, and the two sets of clamping components 300 are used to correct and straighten the flat round bottles conveyed on the conveyor line.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the straightening mechanism can be installed on the conveyor line (not shown in the figure) via the mounting bracket 100. After installation, the clamping components 300 at both ends of the straightening mechanism will be placed on both sides of the conveyor line. The conveyor line transports the flat round bottle. When the flat round bottle is transported to the straightening mechanism, the clamping components 300 on both sides will move towards each other and act on the flat round bottle simultaneously, thereby correcting any deviation or bias of the flat round bottle and straightening it. Furthermore, the opposing movement of the two sets of clamping components 300 effectively prevents the flat round bottle from being clamped. To ensure the accuracy of the conveying orientation of the flat round bottle, the clamping assembly 300 is installed on the adjusting assembly 200. The spacing between the two clamping assemblies 300 can be adjusted by the adjusting assembly 200, so that the two clamping assemblies 300 can be matched with conveyor lines of different specifications and flat round bottles of different sizes. This can improve the practicality of the straightening mechanism. Furthermore, the clamping assembly 300 is moved by the adjusting assembly 200, which makes the overall structure of the straightening mechanism simple and reasonable.

[0030] Please see Figure 2In order to install the straightening mechanism on the conveyor line of the labeling machine, the mounting bracket 100 in this embodiment includes guide rods 110 and end plates 120. There are two guide rods 110 arranged side by side, and end plates 120 are connected to both ends of the guide rods 110. The two guide rods 110 and the end plates 120 form the mounting bracket 100. Adjustment components 200 can be set at both ends of the mounting bracket 100, and two sets of clamping components 300 can be installed and fixed to realize the assembly of the straightening mechanism. At the same time, two fixing plates 130 are also provided on the guide rods 110. The two fixing plates 130 are connected and fixed to both sides of the conveyor line, so that the straightening mechanism can be installed and fixed on the conveyor line. The two fixing plates 130 can slide along the guide rods 110 to adjust the distance between the two fixing plates 130 to match the conveyor lines of different specifications, thereby improving the practicality of the straightening mechanism.

[0031] In order to achieve the movement adjustment between the two sets of clamping components 300, the adjustment component 200 in this embodiment includes a sliding seat 210, an adjusting screw 220 and a rotating handle 230. The adjusting screw 220 is rotatably mounted on the end plate 120 and its end is connected to the rotating handle 230. The sliding seat 210 is movably mounted on the guide rod 110 and is connected to the adjusting screw 220. When the clamping assembly 300 needs to be moved and adjusted, the rotating handle 230 is turned to drive the adjusting screw 220 to rotate. When the adjusting screw 220 rotates, it drives the sliding seat 210 to slide along the guide rod 110. The movement of the sliding seat 210 will drive the clamping assembly 300 to move, thereby realizing the movement and adjustment of the clamping assembly 300. This adjusts the distance between the two sets of clamping assemblies 300 so that they can better match flat round bottles of different sizes and specifications, ensuring that the flat round bottles are corrected and straightened, and making the position and orientation of the flat round bottles accurate during transportation, so as to improve the subsequent labeling quality.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 To facilitate the installation of the clamping assembly 300 onto the adjusting assembly 200, in this embodiment, a mounting base 240 is also provided on the sliding base 230. The clamping assembly 300 includes a driving member 310, a mounting plate 320, a fixing frame 330, and rollers 340. The driving member 310 is connected to the mounting base 240, and the mounting plate 320 is connected to the output end of the driving member 310. The driving member 310 can drive the mounting plate 320 to extend or retract. Fixing frames 330 are connected to both sides of the mounting plate 320, and rollers 340 are installed on both sets of fixing frames 330.

[0033] By connecting the drive unit 310 to the mounting base 240, and then connecting the mounting plate 320 to the drive unit 310, while the fixing frame 330 is connected to the mounting plate 320, and the roller 340 is rotatably mounted on the fixing frame 330, the clamping assembly 300 is mounted on the adjusting assembly 200. The clamping assembly 300 can then be moved and adjusted via the adjusting assembly 200. When straightening the conveyed flat round bottle, the drive unit 310 drives the mounting plate 320 to move. The drive unit 310 is a cylinder. When the mounting plate 320 moves, it will... The bottle is moved along with the two fixed brackets 330 on both sides, so that the rollers 340 on the two fixed brackets 330 act on the two sides of one side of the flat round bottle, while the two rollers 340 of the other set of clamping components 300 act on the two sides of the other side of the flat round bottle. By applying force to the four sides of the two sides of the flat round bottle at the same time, the conveying position and direction of the flat round bottle can be corrected and straightened to avoid deviation in the conveying position and direction of the flat round bottle after clamping, so as to ensure the accuracy of the conveying position and direction of the flat round bottle and improve the subsequent labeling quality.

[0034] To prevent the roller 340 from scratching the flat round bottle when it is applied, the roller 340 in this embodiment is made of plastic nylon. Plastic nylon is a plastic made of polyamide resin as the base material. It has good wear resistance and self-lubrication, which can improve the service life of the roller 340 and make it easy to apply to the flat round bottle without causing damage.

[0035] Finally, please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to correct and straighten flat round bottles of different sizes, the mounting base 240 in this embodiment has a first adjustment hole 241 arranged longitudinally. Through the elongated first adjustment hole 241, the longitudinal height of the driving component 310 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the overall height of the clamping assembly 300 to match flat round bottles of different heights. At the same time, the mounting plate 320 has a second adjustment hole 321 arranged laterally. Through the elongated second adjustment hole 321, the lateral position of the fixing frame 330 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position between the two sets of fixing frames 330 and the distance between the two sets of rollers 340 to match flat round bottles of different widths. Finally, it can correct and straighten flat round bottles of different sizes, thereby improving the practicality and versatility of the straightening mechanism.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description; however, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model; furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
