Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling machine technology, and in particular to a modular and reconfigurable quick-change label head mechanism and a multi-functional labeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing labeling technologies, fixed labeling devices are typically used to label items. However, this type of fixed labeling device has the following problems:

[0003] Low labeling efficiency: The labeling process often requires manual assistance and has a low degree of automation, resulting in low labeling efficiency that cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0004] Poor adaptability: For items of different sizes or models, it is necessary to adjust the clamping structure of the labeling device or replace different labeling heads, which is cumbersome and increases production and time costs.

[0005] Inconvenient replacement: When it is necessary to replace the labeling head with a different specification or type, it is often necessary to disassemble and install multiple parts, which is complicated, time-consuming and affects production efficiency.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a modular, reconfigurable quick-change label mechanism and a multi-functional labeling machine. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, including: low labeling efficiency (often requiring manual assistance and lacking automation, resulting in low efficiency and inability to meet the demands of large-scale production); poor adaptability (requiring adjustment of the clamping structure or replacement of different labeling heads for items of different sizes or models, cumbersome operation, increasing production and time costs); and inconvenient replacement (requiring disassembly and installation of multiple components, complex and time-consuming, further impacting production efficiency). This invention proposes a modular, reconfigurable quick-change labeling head mechanism and a multi-functional labeling machine.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A modular, reconfigurable, quick-change header mechanism, comprising:

[0010] A first fixing plate and a second fixing plate, wherein the second fixing plate is vertically fixedly connected to one side of the first fixing plate;

[0011] A servo motor is fixedly installed on the top of the second fixed plate. The output shaft of the servo motor is coaxially fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, which passes through the second fixed plate and extends below it.

[0012] A fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a pointer mechanism is detachably connected to the bottom of the fixed sleeve;

[0013] The quick-release assembly is located inside the fixed sleeve and includes vertical holes, horizontal holes and vertical grooves on both sides of the fixed sleeve. The vertical holes, horizontal holes and vertical grooves are connected in sequence to form a continuous guide channel.

[0014] The label head mechanism includes a placement box and a cylinder fixed to the top of the placement box. The cylinder has protruding rods on both sides, which can move along the guide channel to achieve quick assembly and disassembly of the label head mechanism and the fixed sleeve through upward and rotational movements.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0016] It also includes an adsorption component, which is located above the first fixing plate and includes an air pump and a suction cup connected thereto. The air pump is driven by an electric push rod to move vertically, so that the suction cup can adsorb the label and attach it to the surface of the item in the box.

[0017] The bottom inner wall of the placement box has two symmetrically arranged clamping plates that slide horizontally. A second spring is connected between the two clamping plates and the inner wall of the placement box. The elastic restoring action of the second spring drives the two clamping plates to move towards each other to clamp the item.

[0018] The quick-release assembly also includes a sliding block that slides through the fixed sleeve. A limiting rod is provided above the sliding block. The limiting rod slides through the first circular holes on both sides of the fixed sleeve and is linked with the pressing blocks. Pressing the two pressing blocks can drive the limiting rod to disengage from the sliding block, thereby releasing the locking state of the label mechanism.

[0019] One end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to a side plate, the two side plates are connected by staggered strip plates, and a first spring is fixedly connected between the two pressing blocks. When the pressing blocks are pressed, they drive the strip plates to move the side plates and the limiting rod in the opposite direction.

[0020] The bottom center of the placement box has a second round hole for pushing the item out after labeling.

[0021] A multifunctional labeling machine includes a modular and reconfigurable label quick-change mechanism as described above, and a labeling machine body. A support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the labeling machine body, and the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are both fixedly installed on the labeling machine body.

[0022] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0023] The air pump's air inlet is connected to the suction cup via an air inlet pipe, and the air outlet discharges gas through an exhaust pipe to create a negative pressure at the suction cup to adsorb the label.

[0024] The servo motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the fixed sleeve and the head mechanism by 90°, so that the item placed in the box rotates to be directly below the suction cup.

[0025] In this application, when in use, the item to be labeled is placed inside the placement box. The two clamping plates are brought closer together by the elastic force of the second spring, and the two clamping plates can clamp the item. At this time, the servo motor can be started. The output shaft of the servo motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft drives the fixed sleeve to rotate, the fixed sleeve drives the cylinder below to rotate, and the cylinder drives the placement box to rotate 90 degrees, so that the item rotates to the bottom of the suction cup.

[0026] At this point, the electric push rod is activated. The piston rod of the electric push rod drives the air pump to move down, and the air pump drives the air inlet pipe and suction cup to move down. The suction cup sticks the label that has been adsorbed below to the surface of the item, completing the label adsorption process. After the label is adsorbed, the box is reversed and reset. The item can be pushed out through the second round hole below. At the same time, the air pump can be used to suction the next label.

[0027] When clamping items of different sizes or models, the entire placement box needs to be disassembled and replaced. At this time, the two pressing blocks can be pressed. The pressing blocks squeeze the first spring and drive the two strip plates away from each other. The two strip plates drive the two side plates away from each other. The two side plates drive the limit rod away from each other. At this time, the pressure of the limit rod on the sliding block can be released.

[0028] At this point, the placement box can be moved upwards first. The placement box can drive the cylinder to move upwards, and the cylinder can drive the protruding rod to move upwards. The protruding rod first moves upwards from the inside of the vertical groove, and then the placement box is rotated. The protruding rod then moves from the inside of the vertical groove to the horizontal hole, and finally moves out from the inside of the fixed sleeve through the vertical hole. Since the top of the sliding block is no longer blocked by the limiting rod, the sliding block has space to move upwards, and the placement box can move upwards normally, making it convenient to quickly take out and replace the placement box, and making it more convenient to use.

[0029] Beneficial effects: The servo motor drives the rotating shaft and the fixed sleeve to rotate, thereby rotating the placement box and allowing the item to be precisely rotated under the suction cup. In conjunction with the electric push rod, the air pump and suction cup move down to complete the adsorption and pasting of the label. The whole process is highly automated and improves labeling efficiency.

[0030] The device features two clamping plates that can be placed close to each other inside the box. The second spring clamps items of different sizes or models, enhancing the device's adaptability to various items and eliminating the need to adjust the clamping structure individually for each item.

[0031] The quick-release assembly design makes the disassembly and replacement of the placement box (label mechanism) simple and fast. By pressing the pressing block, the limit rod releases the pressure on the sliding block, and then by moving the placement box upward and rotating it, the placement box can be removed from the fixed sleeve. This allows users to quickly replace placement boxes of different specifications or types according to actual needs, improving the flexibility and convenience of the equipment.

[0032] The entire labeling process and the label replacement mechanism are simple and easy to understand, reducing the learning cost for operators and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Reference Figure 1-6 A modular, reconfigurable label quick-change mechanism includes a first fixed plate 3 and a third fixed plate 8. A second fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the first fixed plate 3. An adsorption assembly for adsorbing labels is provided at the bottom of the third fixed plate 8. The adsorption assembly includes an electric push rod 7 fixedly connected to the top of the third fixed plate 8. An air pump 9 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the electric push rod 7. The electric push rod 7 controls the up-and-down movement of the air pump 9. An exhaust pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air pump 9, and a corresponding exhaust pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the air pump 9. The air inlet pipe 11 is connected to a suction cup 12 at its bottom. The suction cup 12 is used to adsorb labels. At this time, the electric push rod 7 is activated. The piston rod of the electric push rod 7 drives the air pump 9 to move down. The air pump 9 drives the air inlet pipe 11 and the suction cup 12 to move down. The suction cup 12 sticks the label adsorbed below to the surface of the item, completing the label pasting process. After pasting, the placement box 4 is reversed and reset. The item can be pushed out through the second round hole 25 below. At the same time, the suction of the air pump 9 can be used to complete the adsorption of the next label.

[0043] A servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the second fixed plate 5. The output shaft of the servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 14. The bottom of the rotating shaft 14 rotates through the second fixed plate 5 and is fixedly connected to a fixing sleeve 13. A label head mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing sleeve 13. The label head mechanism is used to place items to be labeled. The label head mechanism includes a placement box 4. The top of the placement box 4 is open. Two symmetrically arranged clamping plates 26 are slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the placement box 4. Two symmetrically arranged second springs 27 are fixedly connected between one side of the clamping plate 26 and one side of the inner wall of the placement box 4. A cylinder 29 is fixedly connected to the top side of the placement box 4, and protruding rods 28 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cylinder 29. The item to be labeled is placed inside the placement box 4. The two clamping plates 26 are brought closer to each other by the elastic force of the second spring 27. The two clamping plates 26 can clamp the item. At this time, the servo motor 6 can be started. The output shaft of the servo motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotating shaft 14 drives the fixed sleeve 13 to rotate. The fixed sleeve 13 drives the cylinder 29 below to rotate. The cylinder 29 drives the placement box 4 to rotate ninety degrees, so that the item rotates to the bottom of the suction cup 12.

[0044] The fixed sleeve 13 is equipped with a quick-release assembly for quickly disassembling the label head mechanism. The quick-release assembly includes a hole inside the fixed sleeve 13, through which a sliding block 21 slides. Vertical holes 18 are provided on both bottom sides of the fixed sleeve 13. A horizontal hole 19 is provided on the top side of one side of the vertical hole 18, and a vertical groove 20 is provided on the bottom side of the horizontal hole 19. The vertical holes 18, horizontal holes 19, and vertical grooves 20 are interconnected and cooperate with the protruding rod 28. Used to control the movement trajectory of the protruding rod 28, the fixed sleeve 13 has a first circular hole 17 on both sides, through which a limit rod 16 slides. One end of the limit rod 16 extends into the interior of the fixed sleeve 13 and is used to press the sliding block 21. One end of the limit rod 16 is fixedly connected to a side plate 15, and one side of the side plate 15 is fixedly connected to a strip plate 22. The two strip plates 22 are staggered, and one end of one side of the strip plate 22 is fixedly connected to a pressing block 24. The pressing blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the same first spring 23. When clamping items of different sizes or models, the entire placement box 4 needs to be disassembled and replaced. At this time, the two pressing blocks 24 can be pressed. The pressing blocks 24 squeeze the first spring 23 and drive the two strip plates 22 away from each other. The two strip plates 22 drive the two side plates 15 away from each other. The two side plates 15 drive the limiting rod 16 away from each other. At this time, the pressing state of the limiting rod 16 on the sliding block 21 can be released. Then, it can be moved upward first. The placement box 4 can drive the cylinder 29 to move upward, and the cylinder 29 drives the protruding rod 28 to move upward. The protruding rod 28 first moves upward from the inside of the vertical groove 20, and then rotates the placement box 4. The protruding rod 28 then moves from the inside of the vertical groove 20 to the horizontal hole 19, and finally moves out from the inside of the fixed sleeve 13 through the vertical hole 18. Since the top of the sliding block 21 is no longer resisted by the limiting rod 16, the sliding block 21 has space to move upward, so the placement box 4 can move upward normally, making it convenient to quickly take out and replace the placement box 4, and making it more convenient to use.

A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the labeling machine body 1. The support plate 2 is fixedly installed on the worktable. A first fixing plate 3 and a third fixing plate 8 are both fixedly connected to one side of the labeling machine body 1.
