Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling equipment, and in particular to an automated flexible labeling mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A labeling machine is a device that uses adhesive to attach paper or metal foil labels to specified packaging containers.
[0003] When the sensor sends a signal that the object to be labeled is ready for labeling, the drive wheel on the labeling machine rotates. Since the roll of labels is tensioned on the device, as the backing paper changes direction while adhering tightly to the peel plate, the label, due to its inherent rigidity, is forced to detach at the front end, ready for labeling. At this moment, the object to be labeled is positioned directly beneath the label, and synchronous labeling is achieved under the action of the labeling wheel. After labeling, the sensor beneath the roll of labels sends a stop signal, the drive wheel stops, and one labeling cycle is complete.
[0004] However, existing labeling machines cannot process round tube structures with products of different diameters or shapes (e.g., round tubes or conical tubes of different lengths or outer diameters; specifically, small round tube products such as toys, stationery, and electrical appliances). This increases the processing costs for manufacturers. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to propose an automated flexible labeling mechanism, which aims to improve the existing labeling mechanism, thereby meeting the needs of tubes of different sizes and tapers, and thus improving the applicability of the equipment.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an automated flexible labeling mechanism, comprising:
[0007] The labeling rollers are provided in two and spaced apart, with a support area formed between the two labeling rollers. The support area is used to place a tubular object, one end of which is connected to a feeding device.
[0008] A labeling device, comprising a base and a swing seat, wherein the base is provided with an adjustment device for adjusting the relative tilt angle of the swing seat;
[0009] The swing seat has at least two spaced-apart guide posts on its outer side, and each guide post has a slidably mounted guide slide.
[0010] A second driving device is provided on the outer side of the guide slide block. The second driving device is provided with a pressure roller. The pressure roller is located above the support section and can be adjusted relative to the length of the support section.
[0011] The first driving device can drive the guide slide to move vertically and drive the pressure roller to move in the direction of the support area.
[0012] The base and the swing seat are adjusted by adjusting the relative tilt angle between them. When set horizontally, they can be labeled for round tubes of equal diameter. When it is a conical tube, the relative angle and the direction of the conical tube are adjusted, and the relative clear angle of the pressure roller is adjusted to achieve labeling of the conical tube.
[0013] Furthermore, the first drive device enables repeated labeling of tubular objects of different sizes, i.e., controlling the downward stroke of the pressure roller;
[0014] Meanwhile, the second drive device can adjust the relative horizontal position of the pressure roller, thereby meeting the labeling requirements of tubular objects of different lengths, thus improving the applicability of the labeling mechanism and increasing the diversity of production.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automated flexible labeling mechanism includes:
[0031] Labeling roller 1, two labeling rollers 1 are provided and spaced apart, and a support area 10 is formed between the two labeling rollers 1. The support area 10 is used to place a tubular object 100, and one end of the tubular object 100 is connected to the feeding device.
[0032] A labeling device, comprising a base 21 and a swing seat 22, wherein the base 21 is provided with an adjustment device 3, the adjustment device 3 being used to adjust the relative tilt angle of the swing seat 22;
[0033] Guide posts 4: At least two spaced guide posts 4 are provided on the outer side of the swing seat 22, and each guide post 4 is provided with a sliding guide seat 40.
[0034] The outer side of the guide slide 40 is provided with a second driving device, the second driving device is provided with a pressure roller 62, the pressure roller 62 is located above the support section 10; the second driving device is used to drive the pressure roller 62 to rotate.
[0035] The first driving device can drive the guide slide 40 to move vertically and drive the pressure roller 62 to move in the direction of the support section 10.
[0036] The base 21 and the swing seat 22 are adjusted by the adjustment device 3 to adjust the relative tilt angle between them. When set horizontally, they can be labeled for round tubes of equal diameter. When it is a conical tube, the relative angle and the direction of the conical tube are adjusted to adjust the relative clear angle of the pressure roller 62, thereby achieving labeling of the conical tube.
[0037] Furthermore, the first drive device enables repeated labeling of tubular objects 100 of different sizes, i.e., controlling the downward stroke of the pressure roller 62;
[0038] Meanwhile, the second drive device can adjust the relative horizontal position of the pressure roller 62, thereby enabling the labeling of tubular objects 100 of different lengths, thus improving the applicability of the labeling mechanism and increasing the diversity of production.
[0039] Specifically, the top of the two guide columns 4 is provided with a support plate, and the top of the support plate is provided with the first driving device. The first driving device is a first telescopic motor 51, and the driving end of the first telescopic motor 51 is connected to the top of the guide slide 40.
[0040] In this embodiment of the utility model, an elastic device 53 is provided between the drive end of the first telescopic motor 51 and the guide slide 40. The first telescopic motor 51 drives the pressure roller 62 to move downward. The elastic device 53 can adjust the bonding pressure between the roller and the tubular object 100, thereby preventing the product label from being deformed by pressure or other problems from occurring. This improves the bonding degree and also improves the processing stability.
[0041] Specifically, the elastic device 53 is a top spring.
[0042] In this embodiment of the utility model, the second driving device is a rotary motor 52. In actual design, the pressure roller 62 can be replaced according to the different products being processed. Therefore, when the product is unique, pressure rollers 62 of the same length can be used to label the tubular object 100. When it is a rotary motor 52, it can be actively coordinated.
[0043] Specifically, the adjustment device 3 includes a swing shaft 31 located between the base 21 and the front of the swing seat 22, and an adjustment rod 32 located between the rear of the base 21 and the rear of the swing seat 22. The rod is configured as a screw, which simplifies the mechanism and enables the adjustment of the relative tilt angle of the pressure roller 62.
[0044] In this embodiment of the utility model, the adjusting rod 32 is a stud or a third telescopic motor. It is preferred to use the adjusting rod 32 to adjust the spacing. Of course, a shim can also be used to adjust the relative tilt angle of the swing seat 22. Its structure is simple and has strong applicability, thus realizing the labeling of tubes with different tapers. The infeed of the tapered tube should be the same as the tilt angle of the pressure roller 62. Preferably, the end with the larger outer diameter extends into the support area 10 first.
[0045] Specifically, the guide slide 40 has a support arm 6 extending toward the support section 10, and the support arm 6 has two pivot parts 61 spaced apart extending downward. The pressure roller 62 is located between the two pivot parts 61, thereby ensuring stable labeling.
[0046] In one embodiment, when the size of the pressure roller 62 remains unchanged,
[0047] Labeling speed: approximately 80-100 pieces / minute, subject to the size of the product;
[0048] Significantly improve production efficiency; approximately 20 similar products can be manually pasted per minute.
[0049] The labeling accuracy is ±0.5mm, which is better than the mainstream automatic round tube labeling equipment on the market (±1mm);
[0050] Applicable products: Minimum applicable diameter of 5mm, which is better than the small size limit of existing automatic round tube labeling equipment.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
