Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machinery and equipment technology, specifically to post-packaging equipment for products. Background Technology

[0002] During liquid filling, labels are usually affixed to the containers for product promotion and brand identification. Some liquid filling products, in addition to labels on the containers, also require sleeve labels on the containers for better product identification.

[0003] Traditionally, labeling machines and sleeve labeling machines are two separate pieces of equipment. Containers to be labeled are usually first labeled on the container body in the labeling machine. The containers output from the labeling machine are then conveyed by a conveyor mechanism into the sleeve labeling mechanism, where the sleeve labeling mechanism applies the label to the container, thus completing the labeling process on the entire container.

[0004] Standalone labeling machines and sleeve labeling machines are relatively mature equipment. For the specific structure of labeling machines, please refer to the relevant descriptions in CN110072780A and CN110789805A. For the structure of sleeve labeling machines, please refer to the relevant descriptions in CN113968396A and CN11846497A.

[0005] Currently, liquid filling production requires the separate purchase of labeling and sleeve labeling machines. This not only significantly increases production costs but also necessitates a substantial increase in production space due to the need for a conveyor system connecting the two machines. Furthermore, each machine requires separate commissioning, a tedious and labor-intensive process.

[0006] To meet the more diverse requirements of liquid filling production, the applicant has developed an integrated sleeve device and a method for setting labels on containers. Utility Model Content

[0034] To better explain the integrated sleeve device of this utility model, the container 2 will be introduced first.

[0035] like Figure 8 As shown, the structure of container 2 typically includes, from top to bottom: container opening 22, container neck 23, and container body 21. After filling, a container cap is installed on the container opening 22. To promote the product and enhance brand recognition, labels are usually placed on the container body 21, container neck 23, and container cap of the container opening 22 for better product identification.

[0036] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the integrated labeling device and the method for setting labels on containers according to this utility model.

[0037] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, the labeling and labeling integrated device includes: a labeling mechanism 100. The labeling mechanism 100 includes: a rotary conveying mechanism 1 capable of rotary motion and having a plurality of labeling stations evenly spaced in its circumference; each labeling station on the rotary conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a self-rotation drive mechanism capable of driving the container 2 to rotate; the outer side of the rotary conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a container input mechanism 3 for conveying the container 2 to be labeled to the labeling station of the rotary conveying mechanism 1; a labeling component 4 for affixing adhesive labels to the container 2; and a container output mechanism 5 for outputting the container from the rotary conveying mechanism 1. The above three are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the rotary conveying mechanism 1.

[0038] The container output mechanism 5 includes an output star wheel assembly 51, which includes an output star wheel 511 that can rotate and has a plurality of locking grooves 512 evenly spaced on its outer edge for locking the container body 21. Above the path of the output star wheel 511 as it rotates outward from the rotary conveyor 1, there is a labeling mechanism 60 that can put a sleeve label from the top of the container 2 onto the container 2 located above the locking grooves 512.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the labeling mechanism 60 includes: a label conveying roller group 601, a label tray 604, and a label guide post 602. Label guide rollers 603 are respectively provided on both sides of the lower end of the label guide post 602, acting on the label 7 to cause the label 7 to move downwards. In this embodiment, the label guide post 602 includes an upper and lower conical section 6021 and a body section 6022. The diameter of the conical section 6021 gradually increases from top to bottom, and the body section 6022 is cylindrical. A cutting groove 6023 is provided on the outer wall of the body section 6022 to cooperate with the label cutter for cutting the label. The label guide post 602 is located above the movement trajectory of the center of the locking groove 512 on the output star wheel 511. When the output star wheel 511 rotates outward by the rotary conveying mechanism 1, each locking groove 512 can move to the position directly below the label guide post 602, which is coaxial with the label guide post 602, so that the label 7 on the label guide post 60 can be fitted onto the container 2 through the top of the container 2.

[0040] During the labeling process, the continuous label 7 on the label tray 604 is conveyed downwards by the label conveying roller group 601 and sequentially fitted onto the conical section 6021 and the body section 6022 of the label guide post. The conical section 6021 of the label guide post plays a good guiding role, and the label guide roller 603 promotes the rapid downward movement of the label 7. The label cutting groove 6023 cooperates with the label cutter to cut a single label 7. When the output star wheel assembly 51 drives the container 2 to move outwards until the blocking groove 512 is located directly below the label guide post 602, which is coaxial with the label guide post 602, the single label 7 cut on the label guide post 60 is just fitted onto the container 2 from the top of the blocking groove 512.

[0041] In this embodiment, the labeling component 4 includes: an adhesive label tray 41 and a labeling roller 42. The outer side of the labeling roller 42 is provided with a label cutting component 43 for cutting continuous adhesive labels into single adhesive labels, and an adhesive applicator 44 for applying adhesive to the single adhesive labels. The adhesive labels are hot melt adhesive labels.

[0042] During the labeling process, continuous adhesive labels on the adhesive label tray 41 are conveyed to the label cutting assembly 43. The label cutting assembly 43 cuts the continuous adhesive labels into individual sheets and then conveys them to the labeling roller 42. The labeling roller 42 uses negative pressure to adsorb the individual adhesive labels and rotates. The glue application assembly 44 applies glue to the individual adhesive labels. The adhesive-coated individual adhesive labels are then attached by the labeling roller 42 to the container 2 conveyed by the rotary conveyor mechanism 1.

[0043] In the above-described integrated labeling and sleeve device, the container 2 is first labeled with an adhesive label in the labeling mechanism 10. The container with the adhesive label is then conveyed by the rotary conveyor 1 to the output star wheel 511. The output star wheel 511 carries the container 2 with the adhesive label through the sleeve labeling mechanism 60. The sleeve labeling mechanism 60 sleeves the sleeve label onto the container 2 through the top of the container. The sleeve label can be sleeved on any position on the container above the locking groove 512 according to the label setting requirements, such as directly sleeved on the container cap at the container mouth 22, or sleeved on the container neck 23 after passing through the top of the container, or sleeved on both the container mouth 22 and the container neck 23.

[0044] The following describes the method and steps for applying labels to containers using the integrated labeling device described in this embodiment: Each filled container 2 is transported by the container input mechanism 3 to a labeling station on the rotary conveyor mechanism 1. The container 2 is rotated and transported by the rotary conveyor mechanism 1. When the container 2 passes the labeling component 4, the labeling roller 42 in the labeling component 4 applies the adhesive label to the container body 21. The self-rotation drive mechanism at the labeling station on the rotary conveyor mechanism 1 drives the container 2 to rotate, thereby achieving the application of the adhesive label to the container body 21. The container with the adhesive label is conveyed by the rotary conveyor 1 to the retaining groove 512 of the output star wheel 511. As the output star wheel 511 rotates, it passes through the labeling mechanism 60. When the retaining groove 512 moves to the position directly below the labeling guide post 602, which is coaxial with the labeling guide post 602 in the labeling mechanism 60, the label 7 is applied to the container 2 from the top of the container. Then, the output star wheel 511 outputs the container 2, which has the adhesive label on the container body 21 and the label on the container 2, outward.

[0045] By using the integrated labeling and sleeve device and the method for setting labels on containers as described in this embodiment, both affixing and sleeve labeling can be achieved on a single device. The entire device has a simple and compact structure, and the area required by the device is greatly reduced.

[0046] Example 2: Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the labeling assembly includes: a label feeding roller group 45, a labeling roller 42, and a cutter assembly 46. The label feeding roller group 45 is used to feed rolls of adhesive labels onto the labeling roller 42, and the cutter assembly 46 is used to cut the continuous adhesive labels on the labeling roller 42 into individual sheets. The cutter mechanism in the cutting assembly can be integrated into the labeling roller 42 or located on the outside of the labeling roller 42. Figure 2 The cutting mechanism 46 shown is located on the outside of the labeling roller 42, which is only an example; the adhesive label used is a pre-coated label.

[0047] In this embodiment, the pre-coated label is conveyed to the labeling roller 42 by the label feeding roller group 45, and the cutting mechanism 46 in the label cutting assembly cuts the pre-coated label into individual sheets. The individual pre-coated labels are then pasted onto the container body 21 of the container 2 by the labeling roller 42.

[0048] The rest are the same as in Example 1, and will not be repeated in this example.

[0049] Example 3: The difference between this embodiment and Example 1 or Example 2 is: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A heat shrink oven 8 is added to shrink the labels 7 fitted onto the container 2. The container output mechanism 5 also includes a chain conveyor output mechanism 52. The input and output sides of the output star wheel 511 are respectively connected to the rotary conveyor mechanism 1 and the chain conveyor output mechanism 52. The chain conveyor output mechanism 52 runs through the heat shrink oven. The chain conveyor output mechanism 52 has a simple structure and stable operation.

[0050] The output star wheel 511 outputs container 2, with an adhesive label affixed to the container body 21 and a sleeve label attached to the container 2, to the chain conveyor output mechanism 52. The chain conveyor output mechanism 52 carries container 2 through the heat shrink oven 8, where the heat shrink oven 8 heats the sleeve label, causing the sleeve label to shrink and fix onto the container 2.

[0051] Example 4: Compared to Example 3, this example further adds a label sorting mechanism 9 for sorting the sleeve-type labels fitted onto the container 2. The label sorting mechanism 9 and the heat shrink oven 8 are arranged sequentially along the conveyor output mechanism 52. The conveyor output mechanism 52 passes through the label sorting mechanism 9 first and then through the heat shrink oven 8. See also... Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown.

[0052] In this implementation, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the label sorting mechanism 9 includes a pressure plate 91 driven by a lifting drive mechanism. Under the drive of the lifting drive mechanism, the pressure plate 91 can move downward to press down on the sleeve labels on each passing container, thereby causing the sleeve labels on the container to move downward into place. The lifting drive mechanism only needs to be able to reciprocate, such as a cylinder.

[0053] The chain output mechanism 52 carries the container 2 through the label sorting mechanism 9. The pressure plate 91 in the label sorting mechanism 9 presses down on the sleeve label on the container 2 to ensure that the sleeve label can be properly placed. Then it passes through the heat shrink oven 8, which heats the sleeve label to heat shrink and fix it on the container 2.

[0054] Example 5: Compared to Examples 1 to 4, the container input mechanism 3 in this example includes a rotary conveyor input star wheel assembly 31. The input star wheel assembly 31 includes an input star wheel 311. The input side and output side of the input star wheel 311 are respectively connected to the chain conveyor input mechanism 32 and the rotary conveyor mechanism 1. The outer edge of the input star wheel 311 is provided with a plurality of input slots 312 for blocking the container body 21. See also Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown.

[0055] The container 2 to be labeled is conveyed by the chain input mechanism 32 to an input slot 312 in the input star wheel 311, and then conveyed by the input star wheel 311 to the labeling station in the rotary conveyor mechanism 1.

[0056] Example 6: See Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, compared to embodiment 5, the input star wheel assembly 31 and the output star wheel assembly 51 share a guide plate 10. The guide plate 10 is located between the input star wheel 311 and the output star wheel 511, and both ends of the guide plate 10 are connected to the chain track input mechanism 32 and the chain track output mechanism 51, respectively. Arc-shaped input guide plate 101 and arc-shaped output guide plate 102 are respectively provided on both sides of the guide plate 10. The arc-shaped input guide plate 101 is positioned outside the input star wheel 311 and is guided from the output end of the chain track input mechanism 32 to the rotary conveyor mechanism 1. The arc-shaped output guide plate 102 is positioned outside the output star wheel 511 and is guided from the rotary conveyor mechanism 1 to the input end of the chain track output mechanism 52.

[0057] To improve the automation and efficiency of label setting, this embodiment also includes a container input detection element 103 for detecting whether a container 2 has entered the input star wheel 311. The location of the container input detection element 103 is not limited, as long as it can detect the container entering the input star wheel 311; it can typically be located near the connection point between the input star wheel 311 and the chain track input mechanism 32. Figure 1 or Figure 2 The location of the container input detection element 103 is only for illustration.

[0058] Example 7: See Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, compared with embodiment 6, this embodiment further includes a chain track output detection element 105 for detecting whether the setting position of the adhesive label and sleeve label on the container is correct. The chain track output detection element 105 is located after the heat shrink oven 8 along the conveying direction of the chain track output mechanism 52, that is, it passes through the heat shrink oven first and then passes through the chain track output detection element 105.

[0059] The chain output detection element 105 is used to detect whether the positions of the adhesive labels and sleeve labels on the container are correct. If they are incorrect, they need to be rejected.

[0060] Example 8: Compared with Example 6, this example further includes an adhesive label detection element 106 for detecting whether an adhesive label is provided on the container conveyed from the rotary conveyor 1 to the output star wheel 511. If an adhesive label is found on the container, the container is conveyed by the output star wheel 511 through the labeling mechanism for labeling; if no adhesive label is found on the container, the container is conveyed by the output star wheel 511 directly through the labeling mechanism without labeling, and is rejected after entering the chain conveyor output mechanism 52.

[0061] The adhesive label detection element 106 can detect the adhesive label on the container in a timely manner, thereby providing a response signal for whether the labeling mechanism is operating. It also facilitates the rejection of defective containers, which are containers without adhesive labels that enter the output star wheel 511.

[0062] Example 9: As Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiments 1 to 8 is that two sets of labeling mechanisms are provided at intervals. The two sets of labeling mechanisms, arranged sequentially in the rotation direction of the output star wheel 511, are the first labeling mechanism 61 and the second labeling mechanism 62. The structure of each labeling mechanism is identical; for details of the structure of each labeling mechanism, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 , Figure 5 The relevant descriptions in Example 1 will not be repeated here.

[0063] The label guide post 602 in both labeling mechanisms is located above the movement trajectory of the center of the locking groove 512 on the output star wheel 511. When the output star wheel 511 rotates outward by the rotary conveying mechanism 1, each locking groove 512 can move to be located directly below the label guide post 602 that is coaxial with the label guide post 602 in the first labeling mechanism 61, and directly below the label guide post 602 that is coaxial with the label guide post 602 in the second labeling mechanism 62. This allows the label 7 on the label guide post 602 in both the first labeling mechanism 61 and the second labeling mechanism 62 to be fitted onto the container 2 through the top of the container 2.

[0064] In this embodiment, a label detection element 104 is also included to detect whether a label is affixed to the container 2 after it has passed through the first labeling mechanism 61. The label detection element 104 is a high-speed camera. A high-speed camera is a device capable of capturing moving images at an exposure time of less than 1 / 1000 of a second or a frame rate exceeding 250 frames per second. As long as the label detection element 104 can detect whether a label is affixed to the container between the first labeling mechanism 61 and the second labeling mechanism 62, the placement of the label detection element 104 is not limited. It can be located above the output star wheel 511 between the first labeling mechanism 61 and the second labeling mechanism 62, or in other locations. Figure 3 The label detection element 104 shown is for illustrative purposes only.

[0065] The following describes the method and steps for setting labels on containers using the integrated labeling device described in this embodiment: Each filled container 2 is transported by the container input mechanism 3 to a labeling station on the rotary conveyor mechanism 1. The container 2 is rotated and transported by the rotary conveyor mechanism 1. When the container 2 moves past the labeling component 4, the labeling roller 42 in the labeling component 4 affixes the adhesive label to the container body 21. The self-rotation drive mechanism at the labeling station on the rotary conveyor mechanism 1 drives the container 2 to rotate, thereby realizing the affixing of the adhesive label to the container body 21.

[0066] The container with the adhesive label is conveyed by the rotary conveyor 1 to the locking groove 512 of the output star wheel 511. As the output star wheel 511 rotates, it passes the position of the first labeling mechanism 61. When the locking groove 512 moves to a position directly below the labeling guide post 602, which is coaxial with the labeling guide post 602 in the first labeling mechanism 61, the label 7 on the labeling guide post 602 in the first labeling mechanism 61 is applied to the container 2 from the top. Then the output star wheel 511 continues to output the container 2 with the adhesive label on the container body 21 and the label on the container 2.

[0067] When the container passes the label detection element 104, the label detection element 104, which is also the high-speed camera head, quickly acquires the image information of the container and transmits the acquired image information to the PLC. The PLC judges the image information. If it is determined that the container 2 has a label, the container is directly output after passing through the second labeling mechanism 62. If it is determined that the container 2 does not have a label, the PLC sends a signal to the second labeling mechanism 62. When the locking groove 512 with the container moves to the position directly below the labeling guide post 602 which is coaxial with the labeling guide post 602 in the second labeling mechanism 62, the label 7 on the labeling guide post 602 in the second labeling mechanism 62 is put on the container 2 from the top. Then the output star wheel 511 outputs the container 2 with the adhesive label on the container body 21 and the container 2 with the label on the container body 2.

[0068] In this embodiment, two sets of labeling mechanisms are provided at intervals. The purpose is to prevent the container from being unlabeled at the first labeling mechanism 61 position. Providing two sets of labeling mechanisms can effectively avoid this situation and ensure that the container is labeled. Since the distance between the first labeling mechanism 61 and the second labeling mechanism 62 is relatively close, in order to achieve rapid detection and judgment so that the second labeling mechanism 62 can act in a timely manner, the labeling detection element 104 adopts a high-speed camera. The high-speed camera can quickly detect whether the container is labeled, so that when the container is not labeled, the second labeling mechanism 62 can act in a timely manner to complete the labeling work on the container.

[0069] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. It provides an integrated labeling and sleeve-labeling device that combines labeling and sleeve-labeling on a single machine. This device has a simple and extremely compact structure, greatly shortening the length of the conveying mechanism, thereby effectively saving equipment space and thus reducing filling production costs. 2. The time required for labeling and sleeve-labeling is shortened, and the stability of labeling and sleeve-labeling is good, greatly improving filling efficiency. 3. It provides a method for setting labels on containers. This method uses an integrated labeling and sleeve-labeling device, where the label is sleeved during the outward output process by the rotary conveyor mechanism after labeling is completed, which is efficient and fast.
