Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to packaging equipment technical field, concretely relates to a label fixing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The label with two-dimensional code needs to be pasted on the surface of the cigarette box before the cigarette box is packed and shipped, which is called labeling. Labeling is generally dynamic labeling using a labeling machine, which can easily lead to insecure labeling, and further cause label skewing, label edge lifting, label damage, tearing and other situations. After the label is damaged or falls off, the variety grade of the cigarette box and the key quality parameters of production cannot be confirmed, which affects the quality of finished product packaging. After the label is skewed or damaged, the two-dimensional code reader may not be able to scan the label two-dimensional code, which will eliminate the cigarette box, resulting in product waste.
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present application is proposed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0004] The first aspect of the present application provides a label fixing device, which comprises: a transverse support rod 1, a connecting piece 2, a spring 3, a spring bracket 4, a push piece 5;
[0005] The connecting piece 2 is connected to the transverse support rod 1 and can rotate around the transverse support rod 1 as the rotation axis.

[0016] Preferably, the angle between the tab 5 and the transverse support rod 1 is less than 90 degrees.
[0017] Preferably, the end of the tab 5 has a flattened area for pressing the label 13 to be fixed.
[0018] Preferably, the lower part of the tab 5 is further provided with a gasket, one end of the gasket 11 being connected to the connecting member 2.
[0019] Preferably, the label fixing device further comprises side rods 10 located on both sides of the transverse support rod 1, the transverse support rod 1 being fixed above the transportation channel of the label object to be fixed through the side rods 10.
[0020] The transverse support rod 1 and the side rods 10 are fixedly connected through a single rod fixing member 9.
[0021] The second aspect of the present application provides a label fixing method using the label fixing device of any one of the first aspect, the method comprising the following steps:
[0022] In the initial state, the connecting member 2 is located at the first position, the end of the tab 5 is located at the first height, and the spring 3 is in the first state.
[0023] The first height is lower than the height of the upper surface of the box 12.
[0024] The box 12 with the label 13 to be fixed is transported to below the label fixing device, when the front end of the box 12 passes through the label fixing device, the end of the tab 5 is lifted from the first height to the second height under the lifting force of the box 12, in the process, the connecting member 2 is driven by the tab 5 to rotate from the first position to the second position, and the spring 3 is in the second state.
[0025] When the box 12 passes through the tab 5, the end of the tab 5 provides a downward pressing force so that the label 13 to be fixed is fixed to the box 12.
[0026] Preferably, the width of the tab 5 is greater than the width of the label 13 to be fixed.
[0027] Preferably, the height of the spring holder 4 is adjusted, or the length and type of the spring 3 is adjusted to adjust the tension of the spring 3 and the down pressure of the tab 5.
[0028] Preferably, the left and right positions of the tab 5 are adjusted to adapt to different positions of the label 13 to be fixed.
[0029] Preferably, the height of the label fixing device can be automatically adjusted to adapt to different heights of the box 12.
[0030] The principle of the present application is:
[0031] In the natural state, that is, when the box 12 with the label 13 to be fixed arrives, the connecting piece 2 is in the first position, the end of the tab 5 is at the first height, and the spring 3 is in the first state. The spring 3 can be in a stretched state or in a natural state. At this time, the two ends of the connecting piece 2 are in a balanced state.
[0032] When the end of the tab 5 is at the first height, the first height needs to be lower than the height of the upper surface of the box 12.
[0033] When the box 12 with the label 13 to be fixed arrives, when the front end of the box 12 passes through the label fixing device, due to the first height of the end of the tab 5 being lower than the height of the upper surface of the box 12, the end of the tab 5 rises from the first height to the second height under the lifting force of the box 12, and in this process, the connecting piece 2 is driven by the tab 5 to rotate from the first position to the second position, and the spring 3 is in the second state. When the tab 5 passes through the box 12, the end of the tab 5 at the second height still provides a down pressure to fix the label 13 to be fixed to the box 12. This is because the connecting piece 2 rotates from the first position to the second position, and the spring 3 is stretched. When the connecting piece 2 is stable in the second position, one end of the connecting piece 2 on one side of the horizontal support rod 1 is subjected to the upward stretching force of the spring 3. The other end of the connecting piece 2 on the other side of the horizontal support rod 1 is subjected to the upward lifting force of the box 12 transmitted by the tab 5. At both ends of the horizontal support rod 1, the two forces balance to keep the connecting piece 2 stable in the second position, similar to the principle of lever balance. For the tab 5, the end of the tab 5 at the second height is balanced by the down pressure caused by the spring 4 transmitted by the connecting piece 2 and the lifting force of the box 12. The label 13 to be fixed on the upper surface of the box 12 is firmly adhered to the box 12 by the down pressure of the end of the tab 5.
[0034] Therefore, due to the adjustability of the spring 4 tension force, the second height, the second position, the second state are changed after the height of the box 12 changes, so as to reach a new equilibrium state.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0036] 1. The labeling is generally performed by a labeling machine, which is easy to cause the label to be not firmly pasted, and further causes the label to be skewed, the label to be warped, the label to be damaged or torn, etc. The device of the present application is arranged after the labeling machine in the labeling process of the tobacco box, and is used for fixing the position of the label on the tobacco box. Through the device of the present application, the label can be pressed once by a proper force, the paddle 5 can uniformly cover the surface with the label to be fixed 13, so that the label to be fixed 13 is firmly pasted on the box 12, and the label will not be skewed, which is convenient for subsequent two-dimensional code reading.
[0037] 2. In the present application, the pressing force of the paddle 5 is caused by the spring 4, which is an elastic force and has a certain self-adjusting range. Therefore, when the height of the tobacco box 12 changes slightly, the device does not need to be adjusted or replaced, and still has a good pressing effect.
[0038] 3. In addition, the tobacco box 12 of different heights can be adapted by adjusting the height of the spring bracket 4, the length and type of the spring 4, the height of the label fixing device as a whole, and the height of the tobacco box 12 track. Therefore, the device of the present application can be conveniently applied to the box 12 of different heights.
[0039] 4. In the present application, the pressing force of the paddle 5 is caused by the spring 4, which is an elastic force and can be self-adjusted with the height of the tobacco box 11. The pressing force will not be too small to have no effect, or the pressing force will not be too large to press the label and the tobacco box 12.
[0040] 5. The device of the present application is applicable to any box that needs to fix a label. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
