Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling equipment technology, specifically to a labeling device for bottles with caps. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, many products need to display key information on their packaging, such as ingredients, manufacturer, and production address. This information is usually printed on labels, which are then affixed to the surface of the product packaging. These labels can be placed on the top or side of the packaging.

[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN106829105A discloses a labeling device for medicine bottles. The labeling device includes a frame, a labeling table on the upper part of the frame, a medicine bottle conveying assembly on the labeling table, and a top labeling mechanism, a side labeling mechanism, a positioning and rotating mechanism, and a human-machine interaction component on the side of the medicine bottle conveying assembly. The top labeling mechanism and the side labeling mechanism are located on the same side of the medicine bottle conveying assembly, while the positioning and rotating mechanism and the human-machine interaction component are located on the other side of the medicine bottle conveying assembly, and the side labeling mechanism and the positioning and rotating mechanism are arranged opposite to each other. The labeling device for the medicine bottle works as follows: The medicine bottle is fed into the labeling table by the medicine bottle conveying assembly. First, it passes through the top labeling mechanism, which applies the top label to it. Then, it passes through the side labeling mechanism, which applies the side label to it. Finally, it enters the positioning and rotating mechanism. The stop bar of the positioning and rotating mechanism positions the medicine bottle. Then, the horizontal pressure plate presses the top label. After that, the telescopic cylinder drives the horizontal pressure plate to rise. The medicine bottle continues to move to the tray. The rotation of the tray causes the continuous side labels wrapped around it to break and adhere tightly to the bottle body.

[0004] However, the labeling device for the medicine bottle still has the following shortcomings: the labeling device does not have a bottle fixing device that works in conjunction with the side labeling mechanism. When the side labeling mechanism is labeling the medicine bottle, in order to avoid the side labeling mechanism applying too much pressure during labeling, which would cause the medicine bottle and the medicine bottle transmission component to slide relative to each other and thus cause the medicine bottle to deviate from the predetermined track, the pressure applied by the side labeling mechanism to the bottle body must not exceed the force that can cause relative sliding between the medicine bottle and the medicine bottle transmission component. This makes it easy for the side labeling mechanism to have difficulty sticking the side label tightly to the bottle body, which in turn causes the side label to shift from the bottle body in part during the process of the medicine bottle entering the positioning and rotating mechanism, resulting in the side label being unevenly attached to the bottle body and the side labeling pass rate being relatively low.

[0005] In view of this, the applicant has conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned issues, which led to this case. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a labeling device for capped bottles with a relatively high side labeling pass rate.

The first clamping tape is located on one side of the conveyor belt and fixed to the base, and the second clamping tape is located on the other side of the conveyor belt and fixed to the base.

[0018] The conveying device is a linear conveying device, with one end as the starting point and the other end as the ending point. The conveying direction of the conveying device is from the starting point to the ending point; the direction from the starting point to the ending point is considered forward, and the opposite direction is considered backward.

[0019] There are three side guard assemblies, namely a first side guard assembly, a second side guard assembly, and a third side guard assembly arranged sequentially along the forward direction of the conveying device;

[0020] The rear end of the side clamping assembly is connected to the front end of the first edge-blocking assembly, and the front end of the side clamping assembly is connected to the rear end of the second edge-blocking assembly.

[0023] Preferably, the first side guard is fixedly connected to the base via at least two fixed adjustment parts;

[0024] Each of the aforementioned fixed adjustment parts includes a fixed base, an adjustment upright, and an adjustment crossbar;

[0025] In the same fixed adjustment part, the fixed seat is fixed to the base, the adjusting upright is arranged vertically and slidably connected to the fixed seat, the adjusting crossbar is arranged horizontally and slidably connected to the adjusting upright, the axis of the adjusting crossbar is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device, and the sliding direction of the adjusting crossbar is towards or away from the conveying device; one end of the adjusting crossbar is fixedly connected to the first side guard belt, the fixed seat is equipped with a first sliding locking structure for locking the adjusting upright, and the adjusting upright is equipped with a second sliding locking structure for locking the adjusting crossbar.

[0026] Preferably, the conveying device is further provided with a bottle separating assembly, which is located on the side of the first sidewall belt of the first sidewall assembly that is away from the second sidewall belt of the first sidewall assembly;

[0027] The bottle-splitting assembly includes a bottle-splitting mounting base fixed on the base, a bottle-splitting base horizontally slidably connected to the bottle-splitting mounting base, a bottle-splitting wheel rotatably connected to the bottle-splitting base, and a bottle-splitting motor mounted on the bottle-splitting base for driving the bottle-splitting wheel to rotate.

The axes of the two rollers are both arranged vertically, and the two rollers are arranged sequentially along the forward direction of the conveying device.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above technical solution are as follows: By setting a labeling adapter that works in conjunction with the side labeling feeder, and setting the labeling speed of the labeling roller and the labeling speed of the side labeling feeder to the same speed, the labeling group and the clamping group together hold the capped bottle during the side labeling process. Then, the side labeling feeder presses against the bottle body of the capped bottle. At the same time as the side labeling feeder starts to feed the label, the labeling roller also rotates and drives the entire capped bottle to rotate. Because of the labeling adapter, the side labeling feeder can apply a clamping force greater than the first critical force when labeling, making the side label adhere more firmly to the bottle body. After the side labeling feeder completes its labeling action, it stops, and the roller and labeling roller continue to rotate and press the side label onto the capped bottle, making the side label adhered to the bottle body of the capped bottle relatively flat, and the labeling qualification rate of the side label is relatively high.

[0031] By setting up a clamping adjustment structure, before use, the distance between the clamping base and the label assembly can be adjusted according to the diameter of the bottle with cap. This allows the clamping roller assembly and the label roller to clamp the bottle body and rotate the entire bottle with cap after the piston rod of the clamping cylinder extends. This enables the labeling device to adapt to bottles with caps of different diameters. Attached Figure Description

[0068] The marking assembly 430 includes a marking mounting base 431 fixed on a base 100, a marking base 432 horizontally slidably connected to the marking mounting base 431, a marking roller 433 rotatably connected to the marking base 432, and a marking motor 434 mounted on the marking base 432 and used to drive the marking roller 433 to rotate. The marking motor 434 is drively connected to the marking roller 433. The sliding direction of the marking base 432 is towards or away from the conveying device, and the axis of the marking roller 433 is vertically arranged. The marking mounting base 431 is equipped with a marking adjustment structure 435 for driving the marking base 432 to move horizontally in the direction of approaching or away from the conveying device. A working area is formed between the clamping roller assembly 425 and the marking roller 433. It should be noted that the marking adjustment structure 435 can be a common existing structure. In this embodiment, the marker adjustment structure 435 includes a horizontally arranged marker adjustment screw and a marker handwheel fixed to the marker adjustment screw. The marker adjustment screw is rotatably connected to the marker mounting base 431 and screwed to the marker base 432. The axis of the marker adjustment screw is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device. In use, rotating the marker handwheel drives the marker adjustment screw to rotate, thereby causing the marker base 432 to move horizontally in a direction closer to or further away from the conveying device.

[0069] Before use, the distance between the clamping base 422 and the label assembly 430 is adjusted according to the diameter of the capped bottle 9999 via the clamping adjustment structure 423. This ensures that after the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 424 extends, the clamping roller assembly 425 and the label roller 432 can precisely clamp the bottle body of the capped bottle 9999 and rotate the entire bottle. Adjusting the distance between the clamping base 422 and the label assembly 430 via the clamping adjustment structure 423 allows the label applicator 410a to adapt to capped bottles 9999 of different diameters.

One end of the adjusting crossbar 113 is fixedly connected to the first side guard. The fixing seat 111 is equipped with a first sliding locking structure for locking the adjusting rod 112, and the adjusting rod 112 is equipped with a second sliding locking structure for locking the adjusting crossbar 113. It should be noted that the first sliding locking structure and the second sliding locking structure are existing conventional structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0073] As a preferred technical solution, the conveying device further includes a side clamping tape assembly 230 mounted on the base 100 and arranged corresponding to the top labeling device 300. The side clamping tape assembly 230 includes a first clamping tape and a second clamping tape that works in conjunction with the first clamping tape and is arranged facing each other. The first clamping tape is located above the first side of the conveyor belt 210 and fixed to the base 100, and the second clamping tape is located above the second side of the conveyor belt 210 and fixed to the base 100.

As a preferred technical solution, the base 100 is equipped with a clamping installation adjustment group on both the first and second sides. Each installation adjustment group includes a side clamping mounting seat 233 fixed to the base 100, a side clamping base 232 horizontally slidably connected to the side clamping mounting seat 233, and a side clamping adjustment structure 231 installed on the side clamping mounting seat 233. The sliding direction of the side clamping base 232 is towards or away from the conveying device.

[0074] The first clamping strap is mounted on the side clamping strap base 232 of the first side mounting adjustment group, and the second clamping strap is mounted on the side clamping strap base 232 of the second side mounting adjustment group.

[0075] Let the conveying speed of the side clamping assembly 230 be the moving speed of the capped bottle 9999 when it is clamped by the first clamping belt and the second clamping belt; let the label feeding speed of the top labeling device 300 be the speed at which the top labeling device 300 extends from the label outlet when it feeds the label.

[0076] Before use, adjust the distance between the first and second clamping straps using the clamping installation adjustment assembly according to the bottle diameter of the capped bottle 9999. This ensures that the side clamping strap assembly 230 can properly clamp the bottle body of the capped bottle 9999 and drive the capped bottle 9999 through the underside of the top labeling device 300. Set the clamping and conveying speed of the side clamping strap assembly 230 and the label feeding speed of the top labeling device 300 to the same speed.

[0077] By setting the side clamping component 230, the bottle body of the capped bottle 9999 is clamped when the top labeling device 300 is operating, so as to avoid the position of the capped bottle 9999 being biased to the first side or the second side, which helps to improve the consistency of the top labeling position.

The bottle-separating motor is drively connected to the bottle-separating wheel 244, and the sliding direction of the bottle-separating base 242 is towards or away from the conveying device. The axis of the bottle-separating wheel 244 is vertically arranged. A bottle-separating adjustment structure 243 is installed on the bottle-separating mounting base 241 for driving the bottle-separating base 242 to slide horizontally in the direction of approaching or away from the conveying device. It should be noted that the bottle-dividing adjustment structure 243 can be a common existing structure. In this embodiment, the bottle-dividing adjustment structure 243 includes a horizontally arranged bottle-dividing adjustment screw and a bottle-dividing handwheel fixed to the bottle-dividing adjustment screw.

[0080] As a preferred technical solution, the first baffle strip of the first baffle assembly 221 has a working opening at a position corresponding to the bottle-dispensing wheel 244 for the bottle-dispensing wheel 244 to pass through horizontally. In this embodiment, the first baffle strip of the first baffle assembly 221 has a working opening at a position corresponding to the bottle-dispensing wheel 244 for the bottle-dispensing wheel 244 to pass through horizontally. In use, a portion of the bottle-dispensing wheel 244 passes through the working opening, and the bottle-dispensing base 242 is driven to slide horizontally by the bottle-dispensing adjustment structure 243, thereby adjusting the distance between the bottle-dispensing wheel 244 and the second baffle strip of the first baffle assembly 221, so that the bottle-dispensing wheel 244 and the second baffle strip of the first baffle assembly 221 can just press the bottle body of the capped bottle 9999 tightly.

[0081] Let the dispensing speed of the bottle-dispensing wheel 244 be the linear velocity of the bottle-dispensing wheel 244, and the conveying speed of the conveying device be the speed at which the capped bottle 9999 moves on the conveyor belt.

[0082] Before use, adjust the rotation speed of the bottle-splitting wheel 244 to set the bottle-splitting speed of the bottle-splitting wheel 244 to be less than the conveying speed of the conveying device. This will ensure that the capped bottles 9999 after being separated by the bottle-splitting wheel 244 are spaced apart.

[0083] Let the label-applying speed of the label roller 432 be the linear velocity of the label roller 432, and the label-feeding speed of the side label feeder 410 be the speed at which the side label feeder 410 extends from the label outlet when feeding the label.

[0084] Before use, adjust the spacing between the bottle-separating wheel 244 and the second side strip of the first side strip assembly 221, the spacing between the first clamping strip and the second clamping strip, and the spacing between the clamping base 422 and the labeling assembly 430 according to the diameter of the capped bottle 9999. Adjust the rotation speed of the labeling roller 432 to make its labeling speed and the labeling speed of the side labeling feeder 410 the same to ensure flat labeling. Also, adjust the top label lifting device according to the height of the capped bottle 9999 to ensure that the top labeling feeder 340 can complete the labeling operation.

[0085] In use, a person or a robot places the capped bottles 9999 sequentially onto the conveyor belt 210. The conveyor belt 210 transports the capped bottles 9999 to be labeled towards the bottle-separating assembly 240. After being separated by the bottle-separating roller 244, the capped bottles 9999 are spaced apart. Then, the conveyor belt 210 transports the capped bottles 9999 into the position between the first and second clamping belts, where the side clamping assembly 230 clamps and transports the capped bottles 9999. When the top label detection photoelectric sensor detects the capped bottle 9999, it triggers the top label feeder 340 to affix the top label to the capped bottle 9999. The conveyor belt 210 then transports the capped bottles 9999 forward. When the side label detection photoelectric sensor detects the capped bottle 9999... After 999, the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 424 extends, and the clamping roller assembly 425 and the label roller 432 together clamp the capped bottle 9999; then the side label feeder 410 presses against the bottle body of the capped bottle 9999. At the same time, the side label feeder 410 starts to feed the label, and the label roller 432 also rotates and drives the entire capped bottle 9999 to rotate. After the side label feeder 410 completes the label feeding action, it stops. The roller 425b and the label roller 432 continue to rotate and press the side label onto the capped bottle 9999. After the side label is applied, the conveyor belt 210 transports the capped bottle 9999 to the machine of the next process. It should be noted that the machine of the next process is not the structure of this utility model.

[0086] Let the first critical force be the maximum force that the side label feeder 410 can apply to the bottle body when applying a side label to the capped bottle 9999 without using the label applicator 410a.

[0087] By setting a labeling adapter 410a that works in conjunction with the side labeling feeder 410, and setting the labeling speed of the labeling roller 432 and the labeling speed of the side labeling feeder 410 to be the same, during the side labeling process, the labeling assembly 430 and the clamping assembly 420 together clamp the capped bottle 9999. Then, the side labeling feeder 410 presses against the bottle body of the capped bottle 9999. At the same time as the side labeling feeder 410 begins to feed the label, the labeling roller 432 also rotates and drives the entire capped bottle... The side label feeder 410 rotates 9999. Due to the addition of the labeling adapter 410a, the side label feeder 410 can apply a clamping force greater than the first critical force when labeling, making the side label adhere more firmly to the bottle body. After the side label feeder 410 completes the label feeding action, it stops, and the roller 425b and the label roller 432 continue to rotate and press the side label onto the capped bottle 9999, making the side label adhered to the bottle body of the capped bottle 9999 relatively flat, and the labeling qualification rate of the side label is relatively high.
