Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of label printing technology, and in particular to a label printing device. Background Technology

[0002] For businesses, labels are important product identifiers. Label printing equipment can print product names, brand logos, and model numbers on labels. The printing quality of brand logos and product names is crucial for brand presentation and consumer recognition. Label printing equipment can ensure that this information is printed accurately and clearly, enhancing product recognizability and helping businesses establish a brand image.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222079348U, which discloses a label printing and cutting device. This device, belonging to the label printing and cutting field, includes a worktable. A support is fixedly connected to the upper end of the worktable, and a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder, penetrating the support. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting plate, and a cutting blade is fixedly connected inside the mounting base. A cutting groove is formed on the upper end of the worktable directly below the support, and the cutting groove matches the cutting blade. A first groove is formed on one side of the upper end of the worktable, and an adjustment component is fixedly connected inside the first groove. This device, employing the above structure, can effectively fix the labels around their edges, resulting in more uniform label cutting and preventing misalignment. It is also more convenient to use, increasing the device's practicality and functionality. However, in actual use, after cutting, the labels need to be manually collected and sorted, increasing the workload of the workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a label printing device, which aims to improve the problem of increased workload caused by manual label collection after cutting in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a label printing device, comprising a base, a conveyor belt fixedly connected to the top of the base, a sorting frame fixedly connected to the rear side of the base, a label inlet on the top of the sorting frame, a moving groove on the rear side of the sorting frame, a telescopic rod fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inside of the label inlet, a push plate fixedly connected to the other end of each of the two telescopic rods, a storage box slidably connected to the rear side of the moving groove, grooves on the left and right sides of the storage box, a sliding groove on the bottom of the inner side of the storage box, sliding blocks slidably connected to both ends of the sliding groove, clamping plates fixedly connected to the top of each of the two sliding blocks, and a cutting mechanism provided on the top of the base.

[0006] The above technical solution works as follows: First, the labels are placed on the conveyor belt at the top of the base and transported to a location where the storage box can collect them. The labels enter the equipment through the label inlet at the top of the sorting rack. After the labels are printed, the storage box starts to operate. The rear of the storage box slides in the moving groove. The grooves on its left and right sides help its stability and guidance during movement. At this time, the telescopic rod pushes the push plate to move. The push plate drives the clamping plates at the top to move closer together, sorting and pushing the labels to ensure that the labels enter the subsequent work area in an orderly manner. At the same time, the sliding blocks at both ends can slide in the sliding groove at the bottom of the inner side of the storage box. When it is necessary to collect the printed labels, the sliding blocks drive the clamping plates to move closer together to clamp and fix the labels, preventing the labels from scattering or shifting during the collection process.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The cutting mechanism includes a U-shaped frame, with the bottom two sides of the U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the conveyor belt, respectively. The inner walls of the U-shaped frame are provided with sliding grooves on both sides. The top inner sides of the two sliding grooves are fixedly connected with telescopic rods, and the other ends of the two telescopic rods are fixedly connected with sliding blocks. The adjacent sides of the two sliding blocks are fixedly connected with the same horizontal plate, and the bottom of the horizontal plate is fixedly connected with a cutting blade.

[0009] Through the above technical solution: when the label is transported to the designated position on the conveyor belt and needs to be cut, the U-shaped frame, as the overall support structure, remains stable. The telescopic rods 2 located at the top of the sliding grooves 2 on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame start to work. The telescopic rods 2 extend and push the sliding blocks 2 connected to them to slide down along the sliding grooves 2. Since the two sliding blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate on the adjacent side, the horizontal plate also moves down. The cutting blades fixed at the bottom of the horizontal plate will gradually approach and contact the label on the conveyor belt. As the telescopic rods 2 continue to extend, the cutting blades cut into the label, thereby cutting the label into a suitable size or shape according to the predetermined requirements.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A switch is fixedly connected to the right side of the base, and the switch is electrically connected to telescopic rod one and telescopic rod two respectively.

[0012] The above technical solution allows for the control of the extension and retraction of telescopic rod one and telescopic rod two via an operating switch.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] A guide plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the conveyor belt, and a guide groove is provided on the top of the guide plate.

[0015] The above technical solution allows the labels to move along a specific path when they are transported from the rear of the conveyor belt, preventing them from shifting or piling up during transport.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] A handle is fixedly connected to the back of the storage box, and the handle has a smooth design.

[0018] The above technical solution involves installing a handle on the back of the storage box, which, due to its smooth design, is easy for operators to grip.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] Limiting slots are provided on both the left and right sides of the movable slot, and limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the storage box.

[0021] The above technical solution ensures that the storage box maintains the correct position and orientation during movement by sliding the storage box back and forth in the moving groove, while the limiting block slides within the limiting groove.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] The sliding groove 1 has sliding grooves on both the front and rear sides, and the two sliding blocks 1 are fixedly connected to sliders on their front and rear sides, and the multiple sliders are slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding sliding grooves.

[0024] With the above technical solution: when it is necessary to store the printed labels, the slider slides in the groove, so that the first slider can move back and forth stably in the first groove.

[0025] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0026] A pad is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the conveyor belt, and both the front and rear sides of the pad are designed to be inclined.

[0027] The above technical solution allows the tilted design to make it easier for the label to slide onto the pad when it is transported to the back of the conveyor belt, and it can maintain good positional stability on the pad.

[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. In this utility model, the labels are placed on a conveyor belt and transported to the corresponding position, so that they enter the equipment through the label inlet. The push plate is moved by the extension rod, so that the clamping plates on both sides of the storage box move towards the middle. The labels are stored in the grooves, thus achieving the clamping and fixing of the printed labels, sorting them, and preventing them from scattering or shifting.

[0030] 2. In this utility model, by transporting the label to the designated position, the telescopic rod 2 at the top of the sliding groove 2 on both sides of its inner wall extends, pushing the connected sliding block 2 to slide down along the sliding groove 2, thereby driving the horizontal plate with the cutting blade fixed to it to move down, so that the cutting blade approaches and contacts the label. As the telescopic rod 2 continues to extend, the label is finally cut into a suitable size or shape according to the predetermined requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a label printing device, including a base 1, which serves as a support for the entire device. A conveyor belt 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, which transports labels, conveying unprinted labels to the printing area and transporting printed labels to the subsequent processing position. A sorting rack 4 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base 1, which is used for temporary storage and preliminary guidance of labels before sorting operations. The top of the sorting rack 4 has a label inlet 5, which is the entrance for labels to enter the sorting stage inside the device. A moving groove 6 is provided on the rear side of the sorting rack 4, which provides a track for the movement of a storage box 7, allowing the storage box 7 to slide along a specific path. Telescopic rods 8 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the label inlet 5. The telescopic rods 8 are retractable, driving a push plate 9 to move, thereby performing preliminary sorting and pushing of the labels entering the label inlet 5. The other ends of the two telescopic rods 8 are fixedly connected to push plates 9, which directly act on the labels to ensure that the labels enter the subsequent working area in an orderly manner. A storage box 7 is slidably connected to the rear side of the moving groove 6 for storing labels. Box 7 is used to collect printed labels. Grooves 10 are provided on both the left and right sides of box 7. These grooves 10 help ensure the stability and guidance of box 7 during movement. A sliding groove 11 is provided on the bottom inner side of box 7. The sliding groove 11 provides a path for the sliding block 12 to slide. Sliding blocks 12 are slidably connected to both ends of the sliding groove 11. Sliding blocks 12 can slide within the sliding groove 11, driving the clamping plate 13 to move. Clamping plates 13 are fixedly connected to the tops of both sliding blocks 12. The clamping plates 13 can... The labels are clamped and fixed to prevent them from falling or shifting during storage. The top of the base 1 is equipped with a cutting mechanism 2, which is used to cut the labels to conform to the predetermined size or shape. The sliding groove 11 has a sliding groove 20 on both the front and back sides. The sliding groove 20 cooperates with the slider 21 to ensure the smooth movement of the sliding block 12. The front and back sides of the two sliding blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the slider 21. The slider 21 slides in the sliding groove 20, making the sliding of the sliding block 12 more precise, thereby effectively clamping the labels.

[0040] Specifically, the labels are first placed on the conveyor belt 3 at the top of the base 1 and transported to the collection box 7. The labels enter the equipment through the label inlet 5 at the top of the sorting rack 4. After the labels are printed, the collection box 7 starts to operate. The rear of the collection box 7 slides in the moving groove 6. The grooves 10 on its left and right sides help its stability and guidance during movement. At this time, the telescopic rod 8 pushes the push plate 9 to move. The push plate 9 drives the clamping plates 13 at the top to move closer together, sorting and pushing the labels to ensure that the labels enter the subsequent working area in an orderly manner. At the same time, the sliding blocks 12 at both ends can slide in the sliding groove 11 at the bottom of the inner side of the collection box 7. When it is necessary to collect the printed labels, the sliding blocks 12 drive the clamping plates 13 to move closer together to clamp and fix the labels, preventing the labels from falling or shifting during the collection process. This ensures that the movement of the sliding blocks 12 driving the clamping plates 13 to move closer or further apart is more stable and precise, thus enabling more effective clamping and fixing of the labels.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The cutting mechanism 2 includes a U-shaped frame 201, which serves as the overall frame of the cutting mechanism 2, providing a stable mounting base for other cutting-related components. Its bottom two sides are fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the conveyor belt 3, allowing the cutting mechanism 2 to operate at a specific position above the conveyor belt 3. Sliding grooves 202 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 201, providing a guide path for the vertical sliding of sliding blocks 204. Telescopic rods 203 are fixedly connected to the top inner sides of both sliding grooves 202, allowing them to extend and retract, thereby controlling the vertical movement of the cutting blade 206. Sliding blocks 204 are fixedly connected to the other ends of both telescopic rods 203. 4. Sliding block 204 slides along sliding groove 202 under the drive of telescopic rod 203. The same horizontal plate 205 is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the two sliding blocks 204. The horizontal plate 205 can move up and down with the movement of sliding block 204. A cutting blade 206 is fixedly connected to its bottom. The cutting blade 206 is used to cut the label on the conveyor belt 3 to achieve the predetermined size or shape. A pad 22 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the conveyor belt 3. The pad 22 provides a transition platform for the label when it is transported to the rear side of the conveyor belt 3. Both its front and rear sides are inclined. The inclined design makes it easy for the label to slide smoothly onto the pad 22, and at the same time, it can prevent the label from getting stuck or falling at the junction.

[0042] Specifically, when the label needs to be cut at the designated position on the conveyor belt 3, the U-shaped frame 201 remains stable as the overall support structure. The telescopic rod 203 located at the top of the sliding groove 202 on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 201 starts to work. The telescopic rod 203 extends and pushes the sliding block 204 connected to it to slide down along the sliding groove 202. Since the two sliding blocks 204 are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 205 on the adjacent side, the horizontal plate 205 also moves down. The cutting blade 206 fixed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 205 will gradually approach and contact the label on the conveyor belt 3. As the telescopic rod 203 continues to extend, the cutting blade 206 cuts into the label, thereby cutting the label into a suitable size or shape according to the predetermined requirements. The pad 22 is fixed to the top rear side of the conveyor belt 3. Its front and rear sides are designed with inclination, which makes it easier for the label to slide onto the pad 22 when it is transported to the rear side of the conveyor belt 3, and it can maintain good positional stability on the pad 22.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A switch 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the base 1. The switch 14 serves as the control hub of the equipment, controlling the on / off state of the circuit. It is electrically connected to telescopic rod 8 and telescopic rod 203, respectively. Therefore, operating the switch 14 controls the extension and retraction of telescopic rods 8 and 203, thereby controlling the label sorting and cutting operations. A guide plate 15 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the conveyor belt 3. The guide plate 15 can change the transport trajectory of the labels on the conveyor belt 3. A guide groove 16 is provided on its top, providing a precise guiding path for the labels, allowing them to move along a predetermined route and preventing labels from being misaligned during transport. If deviation or accumulation occurs during transportation, a handle 17 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the storage box 7. The handle 17 is convenient for the operator to apply force. It adopts a smooth design, which makes it more comfortable for the operator to hold and less likely to cause injury. It is easy to pull out or push the storage box 7 from the moving slot 6. Limiting slots 18 are opened on both the left and right sides of the moving slot 6. The limiting slots 18 limit the range of left and right movement of the storage box 7. Limiting blocks 19 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the storage box 7. The limiting blocks 19 slide in the limiting slots 18 to ensure that the storage box 7 will not sway left and right during movement, so that the storage box 7 maintains a stable and accurate position when moving.

[0044] Specifically, the telescopic rod 18 and telescopic rod 203 can be extended and retracted by operating switch 14. The guide plate 15 and the guide channel 16 are mainly used to guide the transport direction of the labels on the conveyor belt 3. The handle 17 is installed on the rear side of the storage box 7. Due to its smooth design, it is easy for the operator to hold. The limiting groove 18 is opened on the left and right sides inside the moving groove 6. The limiting block 19 is fixed on the left and right sides of the storage box 7 to ensure that the storage box 7 maintains the correct position and direction during the movement and prevents the storage box 7 from shifting or shaking to the left or right during the movement.

[0045] Working Principle: When using the label printing equipment, the labels are first placed on the conveyor belt 3 at the top of the base 1 and transported to the collection box 7. The labels enter the equipment through the label inlet 5 at the top of the sorting rack 4. After the labels are printed, the collection box 7 starts to operate. The rear of the collection box 7 slides in the moving groove 6. The grooves 10 on its left and right sides help its stability and guidance during movement. At this time, the telescopic rod 8 pushes the push plate 9 to move. The push plate 9 drives the clamping plates 13 at the top to move closer together, sorting and pushing the labels to ensure that the labels enter the subsequent working area in an orderly manner. At the same time, the sliding blocks 12 at both ends can slide in the sliding groove 11 at the bottom inside the collection box 7. When it is necessary to collect the printed labels, the sliding blocks 12 drive the clamping plates 13 to move closer together to align the labels. The labels are clamped and fixed to prevent them from scattering or shifting during storage. When the labels are transported to the designated position on the conveyor belt 3 and need to be cut, the U-shaped frame 201 remains stable as an overall support structure. The telescopic rods 203 located at the top of the sliding grooves 202 on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 201 start to work. The telescopic rods 203 extend and push the sliding blocks 204 connected to them to slide down along the sliding grooves 202. Since the two sliding blocks 204 are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 205 on the adjacent side, the horizontal plate 205 also moves down. The cutting blade 206 fixed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 205 will gradually approach and contact the label on the conveyor belt 3. As the telescopic rods 203 continue to extend, the cutting blade 206 cuts into the label, thereby cutting the label into a suitable size or shape according to the predetermined requirements.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
