[0029] According to an embodiment of this application, a labeling fixture is provided. The structure and working principle of the labeling fixture will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] According to the labeling fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the labeling fixture includes a first-foot structure 100, a second-foot structure 200, and a reference component 300.

[0031] In the embodiment, the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 are movably connected. The first ruler structure 100 has a first extending direction and is provided with first marking portions spaced apart along the first extending direction. The second ruler structure 200 has a second extending direction and is provided with second marking portions spaced apart along the second extending direction. The first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 form a predetermined angle.

[0032] In the embodiment, the reference member 300 is movably connected to either the first ruler structure 100 or the second ruler structure 200. The reference member 300 is used to provide a reference for the label to be affixed.

[0033] Thus, according to the labeling fixture provided in this application embodiment, the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 intersect each other, and through the first and second marking parts respectively provided on them, the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 can jointly serve as a planar coordinate system. When the labeling fixture is set to the surface to be labeled, the position coordinates of the label to be labeled on the aforementioned surface are located using the planar coordinate system jointly constructed by the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200. Then, with reference to this position coordinates, the reference member 300 can be movably adjusted relative to the second ruler structure 200 to be near the aforementioned position coordinates, so that the edge of the label to be labeled can abut against it, thereby providing a labeling reference for the label to be labeled.

[0034] The labeling fixture provided in the embodiments of this application can solve the problems existing in the existing label pasting methods and fixtures, and provide a positioning fixture that can paste multiple labels, so that the labeling fixture can be universally used on the boxes of different models of battery boxes, improve the aesthetics, positional accuracy and uniformity of multiple label pasting, and at the same time, it is easy to operate and has the functions of detaching and pasting individual labels and adjusting the size of the fixture.

[0035] In the embodiments, the first extension direction may be, for example, a vertical direction, and the second extension direction may be, for example, a horizontal direction. In other words, the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 may be substantially a vertical positioning ruler and a horizontal positioning ruler.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first ruler structure 100 can be hinged to the second ruler structure 200, such that the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 intersect each other. Furthermore, to facilitate the positioning of the tag in a Cartesian coordinate system, the first ruler structure 100 can be perpendicular to the second ruler structure 200, i.e., the predetermined included angle can be 90°.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the first marking portion and the second marking portion can be scales. Taking the first marking portion as an example, the first marking portion can be protruding or recessed on the surface of the first ruler structure 100. As an example of protrusion, the first marking portion can be a layer structure attached to the surface of the first ruler structure 100. This layer structure can be, for example, a protrusion made of the same material as the first ruler structure 100 attached to the first ruler structure 100, or a layer of colored ink. Similarly, the second marking portion can also be set in the same way as the first marking portion, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] Furthermore, in the embodiments, the first marking portion and the second marking portion can be arranged such that the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 are ruler structures with a minimum division of millimeters.

[0039] In this embodiment, the reference member 300 can also be hinged to the second ruler structure 200, so that it can move in the aforementioned Cartesian coordinate system, thereby approaching the location of the label to be affixed and providing a positional reference for the label to be affixed.

[0040] Therefore, the horizontal and vertical positioning rulers mentioned above can be installed perpendicularly to each other to form a basic frame, thus creating a planar positioning system. Both the horizontal and vertical positioning rulers are clearly marked with graduations for measuring and determining the horizontal and vertical position of the label on the battery casing surface.

[0041] When using the fixture, first place it on the surface of the square casing. Based on the dimensions of the casing and the design position of the label, use horizontal and vertical positioning rulers for initial positioning. For example, for a rectangular label, align the horizontal positioning ruler with the horizontal edge of the label and the vertical positioning ruler with the vertical edge. Adjust the position of the fixture according to the scale to initially determine the label's placement on the casing surface.

[0042] In this embodiment, the reference member 300 includes a plurality of segment members 310, which are sequentially hinged. Thus, the reference member 300 can not only move relative to the second frame structure 200, but also bend itself, thereby not only approaching the location of the label to be affixed, but also bending into a shape that matches the shape of the label to be affixed, in order to assist in the affixing of the label.

[0043] Therefore, the reference component 300 is essentially a bending ruler, one end of which can be bent arbitrarily and connected to the base frame as described above, while the other end can be bent freely according to actual needs.

[0044] Specifically, the bending ruler is bent according to the shape of the label and the actual surface of the casing. For round labels, the ruler can be bent into an arc shape that matches the outline of the round label, using the angle markings on the ruler's surface (which can be set within the clearance grooves shown below, in a radial pattern). Figure 2 The diagram shows five lines (dividing 180 degrees into six equal parts, each 30 degrees) and length markings (spaced along the length of each section component, with graduations also in millimeters, for example), which accurately control the degree of bending and arc length, ensuring that the bending ruler can fit tightly against the edge of the circular label.

[0045] Furthermore, for cases where there are protruding components on the casing surface, such as terminals or LED panels, operators can bend a ruler around these components according to their position and shape. Utilizing the ruler's flexibility and scale, the operator can ensure the label is accurately affixed while avoiding the components. For example, when there is a protruding LED panel on the casing surface, the ruler can be bent to wrap around it. The length scale determines the distance to wrap around the panel, and the angle scale adjusts the bending angle to ensure the label is affixed in a suitable position around the panel.

[0046] As an example, the curved ruler here can adopt a multi-section ruler structure as used in existing technologies.

[0047] According to the labeling fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the reference component 300 may further include a connecting component 320, each connecting component 320 being hinged to two adjacent segment components 310, and each connecting component 320 having a third extending direction, wherein the third extending direction is... Figure 1 The direction perpendicular to the paper.

[0048] In the third extending direction, the two ends of the connecting member 320 are recessed relative to the two segment members 310 connected to the connecting member 320, thereby avoiding interference between the two ends of the connecting member 320 and the external housing.

[0049] In an embodiment, the connecting member 320 may include a countersunk screw and a countersunk nut, both of which may be recessed relative to the two segment members 310 to which the connecting member 320 is connected in the third extension direction.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the segment member 310 may have a rectangular segment body 311. One side of the segment body 311 is connected to a ring structure 312 along its length, and the other side has an opening. The edge of the ring structure 312 has a relief portion defined by a curved surface. The relief portion is essentially a relief groove 313, which is to prevent the hole of the other segment member 310 from being restricted during rotation after the ring structure 312 is connected with a countersunk screw and nut. In other words, the rotation of the two corners of the other segment member 310 is avoided by the relief groove 313 of the segment member 310 connected to it.

[0051] According to the labeling fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the aforementioned multiple segment members 310 are configured to be arranged along the first extension direction, such that the dimension of the reference member 300 in the first extension direction is greater than or equal to the first foot structure 100, that is, the length of the multiple segment members 310 after straightening can be greater than or equal to the first foot structure 100, thereby ensuring that the reference member 300 has sufficient length for bending operations.

[0052] In an embodiment, as an example, the number of segment members 310 may be, for example, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 segments.

[0053] According to the labeling fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the labeling fixture may further include a first calibration component 410. The first calibration component 410 is capable of moving on the second ruler structure 200 along a second extending direction. The first calibration component 410 may include a first calibration body that forms a predetermined angle with the second ruler structure 200. The first calibration body is used to abut against the first ruler structure 100 so that the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 form a predetermined angle.

[0054] Since the first ruler structure 100 and the second ruler structure 200 are hinged, they can be aligned to a perpendicular relationship after hinge by means of the first calibration member 410. Here, the first calibration member 410 can be, for example, a block structure on the outer side of the first ruler structure 100, which is fitted onto the second ruler structure 200 and can slide along the second ruler structure 200. In essence, the first calibration member 410 is formed to be upright.

[0055] According to the labeling fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the first calibration member 410 includes an observation section located on the calibration body. The observation section is used to observe the second marking section on the second ruler structure 200, which is obscured by the observation section. The observation section allows observation of the scale on the second ruler structure 200 obscured by the first calibration member 410, facilitating the operator in determining the position of the first calibration member 410. As an example, the observation section can be, for example, a through hole. Alternatively, the first calibration member 410 can be made of a transparent material, such as acrylic.

[0056] In addition, the first-foot structure 100, the second-foot structure 200, and the reference component 300 can also be made of transparent materials, such as acrylic.

[0057] Similarly, the labeling fixture also includes a second calibration member 420, which is movable along a second extending direction on the second ruler structure 200. The second calibration member 420 includes a second calibration body angled to the second ruler structure 200, which abuts against the reference member 300, so that the reference member 300 is angled to the second ruler structure 200. The second calibration member 420 can also be the same type of calibration member. Here, when the reference member 300 is angled to the second ruler structure 200, it means that the first section is angled to the second ruler structure 200. This angle can also be 90°.

[0058] According to the labeling fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the labeling fixture also includes a handle connected to the second foot structure 200. The handle is not shown in the figure and can be, for example, set on the top of the second foot structure 200 for the operator to lift the labeling fixture.

[0059] According to the labeling fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the labeling fixture may further include a magnetic part disposed on the second-scale structure 200. The magnetic part can be used to attract the labeling fixture to the external structure. The magnetic part may be, for example, a magnet, which may be, for example, pasted onto the second-scale structure 200. When the external structure, such as a chassis, has ferromagnetism, the magnet can be used to assist in the positioning of the labeling fixture between the labeling fixture and the chassis.

[0060] The labeling fixture provided in this application adopts a structure combining horizontal and vertical positioning rulers with a flexible, bendable ruler. The horizontal and vertical positioning rulers provide basic planar positioning functions, ensuring the accurate horizontal and vertical position of the label on the machine casing surface; the flexible, bendable ruler can flexibly adapt to the complex shapes of the machine casing surface and the need for pasting labels of different shapes. The two work together, greatly improving the fixture's versatility. The entire fixture has a simple structure, is easy to operate and manufacture, and reduces production costs. The design of both the horizontal and vertical positioning rulers and the flexible ruler fully considers convenience and practicality in actual production, requiring no complex operating procedures or professional skills; ordinary workers can quickly learn to use it.

[0061] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the innovative concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
