[0002] Labeling machines are devices that affix rolls of self-adhesive labels (paper or metal foil) to products or prescribed packaging, and are an indispensable part of modern packaging. Typically, products are packaged before shipment to enhance their visibility, conveying product information through images and text. Therefore, e-commerce product packaging often includes labels that introduce the product, helping consumers understand its features and usage, and also demonstrating product compliance.

[0003] Existing technology typically involves printing labels in batches to create tapes, which are then placed into labeling equipment and affixed to the surface of materials. However, due to the rapid updates of some products, previously printed labels become unusable, requiring the reprinting of new labels. Consequently, the previous labels become unusable, resulting in waste. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the automatic feeding mechanism includes a feeding platform, a pushing cylinder, a picking cylinder, and a suction cup. The feeding platform is controlled by a lifting bracket. The pushing cylinder is installed above the lifting bracket. The picking cylinder is located at the movable end of the pushing cylinder and is arranged perpendicular to the pushing cylinder. The suction cup is connected to the movable end of the picking cylinder and is placed directly above the feeding platform.

[0011] Furthermore, the tensioning module includes a tensioning roller and a tensioning cylinder. The tensioning roller is located on one side of the guide roller and is slidably connected to the roller support plate. The tensioning cylinder is located behind the roller support plate, and its movable end is connected to the tensioning roller.

[0012] Furthermore, the coding mechanism is a printer, and the printer is connected to the roller support plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the stripping plate is fixed to one side of the conveyor belt by a fixing plate, and the stripping plate is arranged at an angle to the conveyor belt.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the roller support plate can be adjusted by a mounting bracket, which is connected to the base below the conveyor belt.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic coding and labeling machine, comprising:

[0030] Automatic feeding mechanism 1 is located in front of labeling mechanism 2 and transports the material to be labeled 61 to the designated position of labeling mechanism 2.

[0031] Labeling mechanism 2, which affixes label 61 on material label 6 to the surface of material;

[0032] The coding mechanism 3 is located above the labeling mechanism 2 and provides the labeling mechanism 2 with the material-bearing label 6; wherein,

[0033] The labeling mechanism 2 includes a roller support plate 21, a conveyor belt 22, and a peeling plate 23. The roller support plate 21 and the peeling plate 23 are both located above the conveyor belt 22. The roller support plate 21 is equipped with a take-up roller 211, a tensioning module, and several guide rollers 213. The tensioning module is movably located on one side of the guide rollers 213 to provide tension for the label 6. The label 6 is connected to the take-up roller 211 through the coding mechanism 3, the tensioning module, the guide rollers 213, and the peeling plate 23, so that the label 61 adheres to the surface of the material.

[0034] The coding mechanism 3 and the labeling mechanism 2 are used in series. The coding mechanism 3 codes the label 61 and then enters the labeling mechanism 2. The automatic feeding mechanism 1 on one side of the labeling mechanism 2 transports the material to be labeled onto the conveyor belt 22, so that the label 61 is attached to the surface of the material. This achieves matching between the printing quantity and the order quantity and avoids waste.

[0035] The receiving roller 211 is controlled by a servo motor, which is installed behind the roller support plate 21.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the automatic feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding platform 11, a pushing cylinder 12, a picking cylinder 13, and a suction cup 14. The feeding platform 11 is controlled by a lifting bracket 15. The pushing cylinder 12 is installed above the lifting bracket 15. The picking cylinder 13 is located at the movable end of the pushing cylinder 12 and is arranged perpendicularly to it. The suction cup 14 is connected to the movable end of the picking cylinder 13 and is placed directly above the feeding platform 11. The rising and falling of the feeding platform 11 is controlled by the lifting bracket 15. The feeding platform 11 holds materials to be processed. The materials are in plastic packaging. The feeding platform 11 lifts the materials to a designated height, and then the picking cylinder 13 lowers the suction cup 14 to pick up the materials. The materials are then transported onto the conveyor belt 22 by the pushing cylinder 12.

[0037] To improve the stability of material transportation, an auxiliary pressure plate 221 is provided above the conveyor belt 22. The auxiliary pressure plate 221 is fixed by the support column 222. In addition, an auxiliary pressure roller 223 is provided behind the peeling plate 23. When the label 61 is separated from the material, the auxiliary pressure roller 223 applies pressure to the label 61, so that the label 61 adheres better to the surface of the material.

[0038] The peeling plate 23 is fixed to one side of the conveyor belt 22 by the fixing plate 26, and the peeling plate 23 is arranged at an angle to the conveyor belt 22 to facilitate the separation of the label 61 from the material belt. In addition, a photoelectric sensor 24 is provided on one side of the peeling plate 23. When material is detected, the servo motor controls the receiving roller 211 to rotate.

[0039] To ensure that the coded material label 6 remains in a relatively tight state, the tensioning module can adopt the following structure, including a tensioning roller 212 and a tensioning cylinder. The tensioning roller 212 is located on one side of the guide roller 213 and is slidably connected to the roller support plate 21. The tensioning cylinder (not shown) is located behind the roller support plate 21, and its movable end is connected to the tensioning roller 212 to drive the tensioning roller 212 to move.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the coding mechanism 3 is a printer, and the printer is connected to the roller support plate 21.

[0041] To improve the flexibility and stability of the labeling mechanism 2, the height of the roller support plate 21 can be adjusted via a mounting bracket 24, which is connected to the base 5 below the conveyor belt 22. The mounting bracket 24 includes a lead screw, a slide rail, and an adjusting handle. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the roller support plate, the adjusting handle is connected to the lead screw, and the roller support plate 21 is slidably connected to the slide rail. Rotating the adjusting handle allows the roller support plate 21 to slide up and down along the slide rail, adjusting its height. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.

[0042] In addition, this utility model also includes a label sensor 4, which is connected to the roller support plate 21 and penetrated by the material-carrying label 6, for monitoring the quantity and information of the labels 61. Figure 7 As shown, the label sensor 4 detects the product information on the label 61. In addition, the label sensor 4 also has a counting function.

[0043] To prevent materials from falling off the conveyor belt 22, a collection box (not shown) is set at the end of the conveyor belt 22 to collect the materials after the label 61 is affixed.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] The material label 61 is coded in the coding mechanism 3, and then passes through the exit of the coding mechanism 3, the tension module, several guide rollers 213, the label sensor 4, and the peeling plate 23 to connect with the receiving roller 211. The coding mechanism continuously prints on the label 61. The material to be processed is placed on the material placement platform 11. The material placement platform 11 drives the material to rise to a designated height, and then the picking cylinder 13 drives the suction cup 14 to descend and pick up the material. The material is then transported to the conveyor belt 22 by the pushing cylinder 12. The conveyor belt 22 conveys the material. When the photoelectric sensor 24... When material is detected, the servo motor rotates a set number of times to wind up the material strip, thereby detaching the label 61 from the material strip. The auxiliary pressure roller applies pressure to the label 61, making the label 61 adhere better to the surface of the material. At the same time as the servo motor rotates, the tensioning cylinder moves the tensioning roller 212 towards the guide roller 213 to prevent excessive tension when the take-up roller 211 takes up the material, which could cause the material strip to break. Then, the tensioning cylinder controls the tensioning roller 212 to reset, dragging the previously printed label 61 backward to prevent the label 61 from piling up, thus completing one labeling cycle.

[0046] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
