[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] See Figure 1-3 As shown;

[0042] The device for automatic labeling described in Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes:

[0043] A base 10 is provided, and a conveyor belt 11 is provided on the base 10. Fixed plates 12 are provided at both ends of the conveyor belt 11. The power input end of the conveyor belt 11 is connected to a first drive motor 13, which is located on the outside of the corresponding fixed plate 12. The first drive motor 13 drives the conveyor belt 11 to move between the two fixed plates 12 and transports the medicine bottles 70 on it to various workstations, such as the medicine bottles 70 used in the production of Huangying cough and asthma syrup.

[0044] An adjustment mechanism is provided, with its bottom end set on the fixed plate 12 and its adjustment end located above the fixed plate 12. By adjusting the distance of the corresponding adjustment end, it can adapt to medicine bottles 70 of different diameters to ensure that the medicine bottles 70 to be labeled are transported in a row, thus avoiding multiple medicine bottles 70 being transported to the labeling station at the same time and affecting the labeling effect.

[0045] A labeling mechanism is located on one side of the middle section of the conveyor belt 11;

[0046] A leveling mechanism is provided downstream of the labeling mechanism and on the same side as the labeling mechanism to ensure that the label is applied smoothly to the body of the 70 medicine bottles.

[0047] An adjustment mechanism is provided on the other side of the middle of the conveyor belt 11. The adjustment mechanism can adjust the spacing of the medicine bottles 70 transmitted on the conveyor belt 11 so that the medicine bottles 70 pass through the labeling mechanism and the leveling mechanism one by one.

[0048] A drying mechanism is located upstream of the labeling mechanism;

[0049] The drying mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged blower heads 20, each blower head 20 being located at the top of a corresponding adjustment mechanism. The air outlet of each blower head 20 has multiple air nozzles, and the air inlet of each blower head 20 is connected to a compressed air source 22 via a flexible hose 21. The compressed air source 22 is located at the top of the base 10. When the medicine bottle 70 is conveyed on the conveyor belt 11, as it passes the two blower heads 20, the air blown out by the multiple air nozzles of the blower heads 20 can dry the body of the medicine bottle 70, ensuring that no liquid remains on the medicine bottle 70 before it enters the labeling process, thus guaranteeing the labeling effect. The drying process requires no manual labor, improving labeling efficiency.

[0050] The aforementioned adjustment mechanism includes four adjustment plates 30 and multiple adjustment seats 31. Each adjustment plate 30 is positioned above a corresponding fixed plate 12. The four adjustment plates 30 are located on both sides of the conveyor belt 11. Two adjustment plates 30 on the same side of the adjustment mechanism are respectively positioned on both sides of the adjustment mechanism, while two adjustment plates 30 on the other side are respectively positioned on both sides of the labeling mechanism and the leveling mechanism. Each adjustment plate 30 is connected to its corresponding fixed plate 12 via at least two adjustment seats 31. By adjusting the distance between two opposing adjustment plates 30, it is possible to maintain a single-line conveying of medicine bottles 70 of different diameters.

[0051] The bottom end of the adjusting seat 31 is connected to the corresponding fixed plate 12. The middle of the side of the adjusting seat 31 is recessed to form a groove 32. The groove 32 extends to the other side of the adjusting seat 31 and is located above the fixed plate 12. A slider 33 is provided in the groove 32. A first adjusting rod 34 is threadedly connected to one side of the slider 33. One end of the first adjusting rod 34 passes through the slider 33 and is rotatably connected to the corresponding adjusting plate 30. The other end of the first adjusting rod 34 is connected to the first adjusting wheel. Rotating the first adjusting wheel clockwise moves the corresponding adjusting plate 30 toward the center line of the conveyor belt 12, that is, it moves the two corresponding adjusting plates 30 closer together. Rotating the first adjusting wheel counterclockwise moves the corresponding adjusting plate 30 away from the center line of the conveyor belt 12, that is, it moves the two corresponding adjusting plates 30 away from each other.

[0052] The top of the slider 33 is provided with a second adjusting rod 35 rotatably connected thereto. The second adjusting rod 35 passes through the top of the adjusting seat 31 and is connected to the second adjusting wheel 36. Rotating the second adjusting wheel 36 clockwise can drive the adjusting plate 30 to move away from the fixed plate 12, and rotating the second adjusting wheel 36 counterclockwise can drive the adjusting plate 30 to move closer to the fixed plate 12; that is, the height of the adjusting plate 30 can be adjusted according to the size of the medicine bottle 70 to accommodate medicine bottles 70 of various sizes, ensuring that the medicine bottle 70 is always kept on the conveyor belt 11.

[0053] The labeling mechanism includes a label-dispensing roller 40 and a label-receiving roller 41, both of which are mounted on a labeling base 42. The label paper 43 on the label-dispensing roller 40 is conveyed to a inclined plate 45 after passing through a first tensioning roller 44. The label paper 43 is wrapped around the outer surface of the inclined plate 45 and then conveyed to the label-receiving roller 41 through a second tensioning roller 46. The end of the label paper 43 wrapped on the inclined plate 45 can separate the label 43. When the label paper 43 moves to the inclined plate 45, the inclined plate 45 bends the label paper 43, causing the label on the label paper 43 to extend outward and be pasted on the outer surface of the medicine bottle 70, making it easy to apply the separated label to the body of the medicine bottle 70. Three of the first tensioning roller 44 and the second tensioning roller 46 can be provided to prevent the label from becoming loose or falling off during the conveying process.

[0054] A threaded shaft can be provided inside the labeling base 42. One end of the threaded shaft passes through the labeling base 42 and is rotatably connected to the base 10. The other end of the threaded shaft is connected to the handle. Rotating the handle drives the threaded shaft to rotate and adjust the height of the labeling base 42 so that the inclined plate 45 can be adapted to medicine bottles 70 of different heights.

[0055] The leveling mechanism includes a leveling roller 50, which is disposed within a U-shaped frame 51. The U-shaped frame 51 is mounted on a leveling base 52, and a second drive motor is disposed within the leveling base 52. The second drive motor drives the leveling roller 50 to rotate. The leveling roller 50 can roll and press the surface of the medicine bottle 70 with the label affixed to ensure the label affixing effect.

[0056] Two guide rods 53 are provided on the side of the leveling seat 52 away from the conveyor belt 11. The two guide rods 53 pass through the positioning seat 54, which is fixed to the base 10. The side of the leveling seat 52 away from the conveyor belt 11 is rotatably connected to an adjusting rod 55. The adjusting rod 55 passes through the positioning seat 54 and is connected to an adjusting wheel 56. By adjusting the position of the leveling seat 52, medicine bottles 70 of different sizes can be leveled.

[0057] The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment seat 60, within which a turntable 61 is disposed. Multiple protrusions 62 protrude outwards from the outer circumference of the turntable 61, and each protrusion 62 has its outer side recessed inwards to form a groove. An adjustment roller 63 is disposed within the groove, with both ends of the adjustment roller 63 rotatably connected to the corresponding protrusion 62. The turntable 61 is connected to the output end of a third drive motor. When the medicine bottles 70 on the conveyor belt 11 are conveyed to the adjustment mechanism, each medicine bottle 70 enters between two adjacent adjustment rollers 63 to adjust the distance between adjacent medicine bottles 70. As the turntable 61 rotates, the medicine bottles 70 entering between the two adjustment rollers 63 can contact the labels separated on the inclined plate 45, and the labels are affixed to the body of the medicine bottles 70 as the turntable 61 rotates. Then, as the turntable 61 continues to rotate, the labels pass through the flattening roller 50, ensuring they are flat and affixed, before being sent to the two downstream adjustment plates 30 for the next process. The distance between the leveling roller 50 and the corresponding adjusting roller 43 can be adjusted to accommodate medicine bottles of different sizes.

[0058] The device described in this application can automatically dry, adjust, label, and level the surface, transforming manual labeling into automatic labeling, thereby improving efficiency and reducing labor intensity.
