[0002] With technological advancements and societal development demands, more industries are opting to replace manual labor with machinery to save resources and reduce costs. However, as productivity continues to grow, inefficient and energy-intensive mechanization can no longer meet current production needs, leading to a shift towards high-efficiency and energy-saving systems. High speed, stability, and energy efficiency have become fundamental requirements for pharmaceutical equipment in the pharmaceutical industry. To meet these needs, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers are continuously improving the speed and stability of their equipment. Developing high-speed and stable self-adhesive labeling machines is an adaptation to this trend. Traditional labeling machines require changing parts to accommodate different sizes of round bottles, resulting in a complex process, slow labeling speed, and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the current labeling machine technology field, this utility model provides a differential speed bottle separating round bottle labeling machine. The differential speed separation mechanism separates round bottles and forms a certain uniform spacing. It can meet the labeling needs of round bottles of different specifications without changing specification parts, making labeling more convenient, and the labeling speed is fast and the production efficiency is high.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions:

[0005] A differential speed bottle labeling machine for round bottles includes a feeding disc, a conveyor unit, a labeling host unit, a sensor, a wheel attachment mechanism, and a cylinder rejection mechanism. The feeding disc, labeling host unit, wheel attachment mechanism, and cylinder rejection mechanism are sequentially connected to the conveyor unit. The differential speed bottle labeling machine also includes a differential speed separation mechanism located on the conveyor unit and between the feeding disc and the labeling host unit. The differential speed separation mechanism includes rollers and a push plate, which are respectively connected to both sides of the conveyor unit. The rotation speed of the rollers is slower than the conveying speed of the conveyor unit, thereby achieving deceleration and bottle separation of the round bottles. The push plate is provided with a groove and a fixing device. The position of the push plate is changed and fixed by changing the position of the fixing device in the groove. The distance between the push plate and the roller is controlled to adapt to the specifications of the round bottles.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, the differential bottle labeling machine further includes a bottle-inverting rejection mechanism, which is connected to the conveyor line unit and located between the feeding disc and the differential separation mechanism.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, the bottle-removing mechanism is an arc-shaped conveyor line, and bottle-removing plates are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped conveyor line.

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, the sensor includes a missing print detection sensor and a missing label detection sensor. The missing print detection sensor is located above the conveyor line unit and between the labeling host unit and the wheel attachment mechanism, and the missing label detection sensor is located between the wheel attachment mechanism and the cylinder rejection mechanism.

[0009] According to one aspect of the present invention, the cylinder rejection mechanism includes a rejection plate and a cylinder connected to the rejection plate, wherein the rejection plate and the cylinder cooperate to reject the defective round bottles detected by the sensor.

[0010] According to one aspect of the present invention, the differential speed bottle labeling machine further includes a chassis unit, which is disposed below the conveyor line unit.

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, the differential bottle labeling machine further includes a human-machine interface unit, which is located above the chassis unit.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: Through the differential separation mechanism and its rollers and push plates, the rollers and push plates are respectively connected to both sides of the conveyor unit. The rotation speed of the rollers is slower than the conveying speed of the conveyor unit, thereby realizing the deceleration and separation of the round bottles. The push plate is provided with a sliding groove and a fixing device. By changing the position of the fixing device in the sliding groove, the position of the push plate is changed and fixed.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a differential speed bottle labeling machine for round bottles is used to label round bottles. It includes a feeding disc 1, a conveyor unit 3, a bottle-inverting rejection mechanism 4, a differential speed separation mechanism 5, a labeling main unit 6, a sensor, a wheel attachment mechanism 8, and a cylinder rejection mechanism 10. The conveyor unit 3 is a long conveyor belt used to transport round bottles, and is sequentially connected to the feeding disc 1, the bottle-inverting rejection mechanism 4, the differential speed separation mechanism 5, the labeling main unit 6, the wheel attachment mechanism 8, and the cylinder rejection mechanism 10.

[0028] The differential speed separation mechanism 5 is located on the conveyor line unit 3 and between the feeding disc 1 and the labeling host unit 6. The differential speed separation mechanism 5 includes rollers 100, push plates 200, fixing devices 300, fixing plates 500, columns 600, and horizontal plates 700. The fixing plates 500 and columns 600 are respectively connected and fixed to opposite sides of the conveyor line unit 3. Rollers 100 are horizontally connected to the columns 600, and the rollers 100 rotate at a certain speed. The rotational speed of the rollers 100 is slower than the conveying speed of the conveyor line unit 3, resulting in a different transmission speed between the round bottles located in the differential speed separation mechanism 5 and the conveyor line unit 3, thereby achieving deceleration and bottle separation of the round bottles. The horizontal plate 700 is connected to the fixing plate 500 and has a sliding groove 400, allowing the fixing device 300 to move on the sliding groove 400. The fixing device 300 passes through the slide groove 400 and is connected to the fixing plate 500 via threads. By rotating the fixing device 300, the horizontal plate 700 is tightly fixed to the fixing plate 500. The push plate 200 is vertically fixed to one end of the horizontal plate 700 by bolts and is opposite to the roller 100. By changing the position of the fixing device 300 in the slide groove 400, the position of the horizontal plate 700 on the fixing plate 500 is changed and fixed, thereby accommodating different sizes of round bottles by controlling the distance between the push plate 200 and the roller 100.

[0029] The feeding disc 1 includes an anti-drop guardrail 101, a handle 102, a baffle 103, a feeding plate 104, and a connecting device 105. The feeding disc 1 is connected to the front end of the conveyor line unit 3 via the connecting device 105 and is placed horizontally. It has an anti-drop guardrail 101 and an opening around its perimeter. A horizontally fixed handle 102 and baffle 103 are positioned above the feeding disc 1. The length of the baffle 103 is the same as the radius of the feeding disc 1. One end of the baffle 103 is fixed to the center of the feeding disc 1 and rotates counterclockwise. The feeding plate 104 is located at the end of the feeding disc 1 furthest from the conveyor line unit 3. The size of the feeding plate 104 is the same as the size of the opening of the anti-drop guardrail. When the opening of the anti-drop guardrail is aligned with the feeding plate 104, round bottles can be fed to the feeding disc 1 through the feeding plate 104. By engaging the handle 102 with the baffle 103, the round bottle on the feeding disc 1 is fed into the conveyor line unit 3 via the connecting device 105.

[0030] The bottle rejection mechanism 4 is connected to the conveyor line unit 3 and is located between the feeding disc 1 and the differential separation mechanism 5. The bottle rejection mechanism 4 is an arc-shaped conveyor line with bottle rejection plates on both sides. A bottle collection device or bottle output device (not shown in the figure) is provided below the bottle rejection mechanism 4. Vertical bottles can be smoothly conveyed along the conveyor line unit 3 due to their flat bottoms. Inverted bottles, due to their round curved surface structure, will roll on the conveyor line unit 3 when passing through the arc-shaped conveyor line on the bottle rejection mechanism 4 and eventually slide off the conveyor line unit 3 into the bottle collection device or bottle output device.

[0031] The sensors include a missing print detection sensor 7 and a missing label detection sensor 11. The missing print detection sensor 7 is located above the conveyor line unit 3 and between the labeling host unit 6 and the wheel attachment mechanism 8, and is used to detect labels without printed text. The missing label detection sensor 11 is located between the wheel attachment mechanism 8 and the cylinder rejection mechanism 10, and is used to detect round bottles without labels. The cylinder rejection mechanism 10 includes a rejection plate and a cylinder connected to the rejection plate. The rejection plate and the cylinder cooperate to reject the labels without printed text and the round bottles without labels detected by the sensors.

[0032] The differential speed bottle labeling machine also includes a chassis unit 2, a human-machine interface unit 9, and an encoder mechanism 12. The chassis unit 2 is located below the conveyor line unit 3 and is used to assemble the entire chassis structure of the differential speed bottle labeling machine and drive its operation. The human-machine interface unit 9 is located above the chassis unit 2, allowing the user to control the operation of the entire differential speed bottle labeling machine. The encoder mechanism 12 is located at the end of the conveyor line unit 3 and is used to encode the labeled and qualified round bottles.

[0033] During operation, the position of the fixing device 300 in the differential separation mechanism 5 within the chute 400 is first changed to alter and fix the position of the horizontal plate 700 on the fixing plate 500. This adjusts the distance between the push plate 200 and the roller 100 to ensure the spacing matches the specifications of the round bottles to be labeled, preparing for bottle separation. The round bottles first enter the feeding disc 1 via the feeding plate 104 and are dispersed on the feeding disc 1. By rotating the baffle 103 counterclockwise, the handle 102 and the baffle 103 push the round bottles, and the dispersed round bottles are sequentially passed one after another through the connecting device 105 into the conveyor line unit 3. The conveyor belt of the conveyor line unit 3 transports the round bottles from left to right. When a round bottle passes the bottle-removing mechanism 4, the fallen round bottle is automatically removed by the arc-shaped conveyor line, while the upright round bottles continue to move to the right. When passing through the differential separation mechanism 5, the differential separation mechanism 5 reduces speed through the rollers 100, creating a speed difference between the round bottles on the conveyor unit 3 and those in the differential separation mechanism 5, separating adjacent round bottles and ensuring a uniform spacing between them. The separated round bottles pass through the labeling host unit 6 and are automatically labeled with the required tags. They then immediately enter the wheel attachment mechanism 8, where the tags are smoothly affixed to the surface of the round bottles. The labeled round bottles are transported to the cylinder rejection mechanism 10, which rejects all round bottles that are not labeled as detected by the missing label detection sensor 11 and round bottles that are not printed on the labels as detected by the missing print detection sensor 7. The labeled and qualified round bottles are then transported to the encoder mechanism 12 for encoding. For round bottles of different sizes, labeling can be completed without changing the specification parts.

[0034] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: Through the differential separation mechanism and its rollers and push plates, the rollers and push plates are respectively connected to both sides of the conveyor unit. The rotation speed of the rollers is slower than the conveying speed of the conveyor unit, thereby realizing the deceleration and separation of the round bottles. The push plate is provided with a sliding groove and a fixing device. By changing the position of the fixing device in the sliding groove, the position of the push plate is changed and fixed. Thus, by controlling the distance between the push plate and the rollers, the size of the round bottles can be adapted. The differential separation mechanism separates the round bottles and forms a certain uniform spacing. For round bottles of different sizes, it is not necessary to change the specification parts to meet the labeling requirements. Labeling is more convenient, and the labeling speed is fast and the production efficiency is high.

[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
