Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of labeling device technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic labeling device. Background Technology

[0002] During the packaging process, it is often necessary to affix labels to the materials. These labels are used to indicate the specifications of the materials and information about the manufacturer.

[0003] Currently, manual labeling is too inefficient, while the cost of introducing sophisticated automated labeling equipment is too high. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a low-cost and easy-to-use labeling aid to help users improve labeling efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a semi-automatic labeling device to solve the problem that labeling devices cannot simultaneously achieve low cost and high efficiency in labeling.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts a technical solution of providing a semi-automatic labeling device. The semi-automatic labeling device includes: a worktable with a label window; a label conveying mechanism disposed under the worktable for conveying labels to the label window; and a spring mechanism mounted on the worktable and located on one side of the label window. Under pressure, a portion of the label extending from the label window is pressed against the spring mechanism, and the spring mechanism is further compressed, causing subsequent portions of the label to be affixed to the bottom surface of the material facing the worktable, thereby completing labeling on the side and bottom surface of the material.

[0006] In some embodiments, the semi-automatic labeling device further includes a first sensor disposed on the workbench. The first sensor is used to pause the operation of the label conveying mechanism after detecting that the label extends a preset length from the label window, so that the material can be pasted to the extended label by its side under force.

[0007] In some embodiments, the spring mechanism includes a pressure block, a push rod, and a spring. One end of the push rod is fixed to the pressure block, and the other end of the push rod is movably connected to the support wall of the worktable. The spring is sleeved on the push rod and compressed and supported on one side of the support wall.

[0008] In some embodiments, the semi-automatic labeling device further includes a second sensor disposed on the worktable. When the pressure block is compressed by the spring, it passes through the second sensor. The second sensor is used to resume the operation of the label conveying mechanism when the pressure block is detected, so as to continue to release the label and label the bottom surface of the material.

[0009] In some embodiments, the semi-automatic labeling device further includes a third sensor disposed on the worktable, the third sensor being disposed on the side of the second sensor away from the label window, the third sensor being used to temporarily suspend the operation of the label conveying mechanism again when the pressure block is detected, so as to end the labeling of the bottom surface of the material.

[0010] In some embodiments, the workbench is further provided with a roller, which is used to apply force to the label on the bottom surface of the material as the material passes by, so as to further press the label against the bottom surface of the material.

[0011] In some embodiments, the roller is rotatably mounted on the worktable.

[0012] In some embodiments, the label conveying mechanism includes a power roller, an auxiliary roller, and a guide, wherein the rotation angle of the guide corresponds to the label window setting;

[0013] The auxiliary roller is equipped with a strip reel, the strip of which is connected to the power roller by winding around the guide member, and the strip is provided with a label; the power roller is used to move the strip around the guide member, and the rotation angle of the guide member is used to transfer the label on the strip to the label window.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike the prior art, this application discloses a semi-automatic labeling device. By providing a semi-automatic labeling device, the user can push the material along the table surface of the workbench onto the spring mechanism, so that the label output from the label window by the label conveying mechanism is affixed to the side of the material. After continuing to push the material, the spring mechanism can be compressed and moved backward, so that the label output from the label window can be affixed to the bottom surface of the material. Therefore, the semi-automatic labeling device provided by this application can quickly and efficiently complete the labeling of the side and bottom surfaces of the material in one go with the cooperation of the user, reducing the user's labor intensity and improving labeling efficiency. Moreover, the semi-automatic labeling device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, and can balance low device cost and high-efficiency labeling. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This application provides a semi-automatic labeling device 100, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the semi-automatic labeling device provided in this application. Figure 2 This is the sutra. Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the material after the semi-automatic labeling device has completed labeling.

[0023] The semi-automatic labeling device 100 includes a workbench 10, a label conveying mechanism 20, and a spring mechanism 30. The workbench 10 is provided with a label window 11. The label conveying mechanism 20 is located under the workbench 10 and is used to convey labels 105 to the label window 11. The spring mechanism 30 is installed on the workbench 10 and located on one side of the label window 11. Under the force of the material 101, the side 102 of the material 101 presses against the label 105 extending from the label window 11 onto the spring mechanism 30 and continues to compress the spring mechanism 30, so that the subsequent label 105 is affixed to the bottom surface 103 of the material 101 facing the workbench 10, thereby completing the labeling on the side 10 and bottom surface 103 of the material 101.

[0024] The workbench 10 is a platform, and the label window 11 is an opening adapted to the size of the label 105. The label 105 is conveyed from under the workbench 10 through the label window 11 to the workbench surface by the label conveying mechanism 20. After the label 105 extends a preset length on the workbench surface, the user can push the material 101 along the workbench 10 towards the spring mechanism 30. At this time, the side 102 of the material 101 is aligned with the extended label 105, and the side 102 of the material 101 presses against the label 105 against the spring mechanism 30, thereby allowing the label 105 to adhere to the side 102 of the material 101. The label 105 is coated with adhesive for sticking to the material 101.

[0025] Then, the material 101 is pushed to compress the spring mechanism 30, while the label 105 continues to extend from the label window 11, so that the subsequent label 105 is attached to the bottom surface 103 of the material 101. The force between the bottom surface 103 of the material 101 and the table surface of the worktable 10 makes the label 105 stick tightly to the bottom surface 103 of the material 101.

[0026] In this embodiment, a complete label 105 is affixed to the side 101 and bottom 103 of the material 101, that is, part of the label 105 is affixed to the side 102 of the material 101, and the other part is affixed to the bottom 103 of the material 101.

[0027] The spring mechanism 30 can provide sufficient support during the labeling process to complete the labeling of the side 101, and can also move under the continued drive of the force, so that the material 101 can continue to complete the labeling of the bottom 103.

[0028] This application provides a semi-automatic labeling device 100, which, with the cooperation of the user, can quickly and efficiently complete the labeling of the side 102 and bottom 103 of the material 101 in one go, reducing the user's labor intensity and improving labor efficiency.

[0029] Continue reading Figure 1The semi-automatic labeling device 100 also includes a first sensor 41 disposed on the workbench 10. The first sensor 41 is used to pause the operation of the label conveying mechanism 20 after detecting that the label extends from the label window 11 by a preset length, so that the side 102 of the material 101 can be pasted with the extended label under the force drive.

[0030] The first sensor 41 can be an infrared sensor switch or a photoelectric switch, etc. It is triggered after detecting that the label extends from the label window 11 by a preset length, thereby pausing the operation of the label conveying mechanism 20. The part of the label 105 extending from the label window 11 remains relatively stationary. At this time, the user can push the material 101 so that the side 102 of the material 101 abuts against the label 105 to complete the labeling of the side 102. By setting the first sensor 41, the user can easily and accurately label the side 102, solving the problem that the user needs to use their eyes to judge whether the label extension length is appropriate and needs to complete the labeling in a very short time.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 ,in Figure 3 like Figure 1 The diagram shows a top view of the semi-automatic labeling device. The spring mechanism 30 includes a pressure block 31, a push rod 32, and a spring 33. One end of the push rod 32 is fixed to the pressure block 31, and the other end of the push rod 32 is movably connected to the support wall 12 of the worktable 10. The spring 33 is sleeved on the push rod 32 and compressed and supported on one side of the support wall 12.

[0032] The pressure block 31 provides sufficient support area for the side 102 of the material 101, so that the label 105 can be reliably attached to the side 102. One end of the push rod 32 is movably connected to the support wall 12, for example, the other end of the push rod 32 passes through a through hole in the support wall 12 and is connected to a stop at its end. The stop can be a nut or screw, etc., to prevent the push rod 32 from disengaging from the support wall 12. The spring 33 is sleeved on the push rod 32 and elastically compressed between the support wall 12 and the shoulder of the push rod 32. When the pressure block 31 is not subjected to external force, the elastic force provided by the spring 33 keeps the pressure block 31 in place. 31 is located at the label window 11 to facilitate the use of material 101 to attach label 105 to side 102. When pressure block 31 is pressed by external force, pressure block 31 and push rod 32 retract, and spring 33 is further compressed. The reaction force provided by pressure block 31 can make label 105 stick tightly to side 102. The space left by the retraction of pressure block 31 can facilitate the bottom surface 103 of material 101 to stick to the label 105 that continues to extend outward. The interaction force between bottom surface 103 and table surface of workbench 10 can make label 105 stick tightly to bottom surface 103.

[0033] In this embodiment, there are two push rods 32, which provides better movement stability. Of course, the number of push rods 32 can be set to one or three, etc., depending on the specific needs, and this application does not limit this.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the semi-automatic labeling device 100 also includes a second sensor 42 disposed on the worktable 10. When the pressure block 31 is compressed and the spring 33 is compressed, it passes through the second sensor 42. The second sensor 42 is used to resume the operation of the label conveying mechanism 20 when the pressure block 31 is detected, so as to continue to release the label 105 and label the bottom surface 103 of the material 101.

[0035] The second sensor 42 can be an infrared sensor switch or a photoelectric switch, etc., which resumes the previously paused label conveying mechanism 20 when it detects the passage of the pressure block 31, so as to continue to convey the label to the label window 11 and affix the label to the bottom surface 103 of the material 101.

[0036] In other words, the user's actions during the labeling process can simultaneously enable the label conveying mechanism 20 to resume operation in a controlled and timely manner, without requiring additional actions from the user to start or stop the label conveying mechanism 20. The user's actions during the labeling process are relatively smooth and efficient.

[0037] Furthermore, the semi-automatic labeling device 100 also includes a third sensor 43 disposed on the workbench 10. The third sensor 43 is disposed on the side of the second sensor 42 away from the label window 11. The third sensor 43 is used to temporarily stop the operation of the label conveying mechanism 20 again when the pressure block 31 is detected, so as to end the labeling of the bottom surface 103 of the material 101.

[0038] The second sensor 42 can be an infrared sensor switch or a photoelectric switch, etc.

[0039] The second sensor 42 indicates the start of labeling on the bottom surface 103, and the third sensor 43 indicates the end of labeling on the bottom surface 103. When the third sensor 43 is triggered, the label conveying mechanism 20 pauses again, and the user can remove the material that has been labeled on the side 102 and bottom surface 103. Then the pressure block 31 resets, and after passing the second sensor 42 again, the label conveying mechanism 20 resumes conveying the label 105 to the label window 11. After the label extends a preset length from the label window 11, the first sensor 41 is triggered again, and the label conveying mechanism 20 pauses its operation, so that the labeling of the side 102 of the next material 101 can begin.

[0040] As can be seen, with the cooperation of the user, the semi-automatic labeling device 100 can cyclically apply labels to the side 102 and the bottom 103, which can greatly improve the user's labeling efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the workbench 10 is also equipped with a roller 13, which is used to apply force to the label 105 on the bottom surface 103 of the material 101 when the material 101 passes by, so as to further adhere the label 105 to the bottom surface 103 of the material 101.

[0042] The roller 13 is mounted on the workbench 10, and a portion of it protrudes from the workbench 10 surface without affecting the movement of the pressing block 31. This allows it to apply force more directly and reliably to the bottom surface 103 of the material 101 as it passes by, thereby improving the labeling quality of the bottom surface 103.

[0043] In this embodiment, the roller 13 is rotatably mounted on the worktable 10, which can reduce the resistance when the pressing block 31 and the material 101 pass through, thus making it easier for the pressing block 31 and the material 101 to pass through.

[0044] Alternatively, the roller 13 can be fixed on the worktable 10, and its smooth surface can also reduce the resistance when the pressure block 31 and the material 101 pass through.

[0045] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the label conveying mechanism 20 includes a power roller 21, an auxiliary roller 22, and a guide member 23. The rotation angle 230 of the guide member 23 corresponds to the label window 11. A material roll is mounted on the auxiliary roller 22. The material roll of the material roll is connected to the power roller 21 by winding around the guide member 23. A label 105 is provided on the material roll. The power roller 21 is used to make the material roll move around the guide member 23. The rotation angle 230 of the guide member 23 is used to transfer the label 105 on the material roll to the label window 11.

[0046] The power roller 21 is connected to a motor, which provides power to drive the power roller 21 to rotate, thereby driving the material belt to rotate around the guide member 23. During the movement of the material belt, when the label 105 on it passes the corner 230 of the guide member 23, the label 105 can gradually separate from the material belt as the material belt moves and be conveyed to the label window 11. The auxiliary roller 22 is used to carry the material belt roll. When the material belt is pulled, the auxiliary roller 22 can rotate with the force to continuously release the material belt.

[0047] The corner 230 of the guide member 23 can change the movement direction of the material belt on both sides, and then use the change in the transmission direction of the material belt at the corner 230 to peel the label 105 off the material belt. The corner 230 is set to correspond to the label window 11, so that the peeled label 105 can be transferred to the label window 11.

[0048] In this embodiment, the motor connected to the power roller 21 can be controlled to temporarily or resume operation. The guide 23 simultaneously tensions and guides the material belt. It can also use its special structure to peel off the label 105 on the material belt during the material belt transmission process and guide the peeled label 105 to the label window 11. The entire label conveying mechanism 20 has a simple structure, high label peeling efficiency and low manufacturing cost.

[0049] Unlike existing technologies, this application discloses a semi-automatic labeling device. By providing a semi-automatic labeling device, the user can push the material along the worktable surface towards a spring mechanism, causing the label output from the label window by the label conveying mechanism to be affixed to the side of the material. Continuing to push the material compresses the spring mechanism, causing it to move backward, allowing the label output from the label window to be affixed to the bottom surface of the material. Therefore, the semi-automatic labeling device provided by this application can quickly and efficiently complete the labeling of the side and bottom surfaces of the material in one step with the user's cooperation, reducing the user's labor intensity and improving labeling efficiency. Furthermore, this semi-automatic labeling device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, achieving a balance between low device cost and high-efficiency labeling.

[0050] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
