Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of winding tube technology, specifically a semi-automatic paper tube continuous labeling device. Background Technology

[0002] A spool is a container used for winding thread, commonly used in textiles, sewing, and other applications requiring thread management. The design of the spool allows the thread to be neatly wound on its surface, preventing tangles or knots, and facilitating storage and use. Since plastic spools are not environmentally friendly, paper spools are used as a substitute. Labeling the paper spools serves both as identification and as a way to secure thread ends.

[0003] Currently, when labeling paper tubes, workers often need to manually pick up the labels and paper tubes, align them, and then paste them. This is not precise enough and is inefficient, resulting in a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a semi-automatic continuous labeling device for paper tubes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a semi-automatic continuous labeling device for paper tubes, comprising a workbench and a transfer assembly. A conveyor is mounted on the top of the workbench, and guide frames are symmetrically arranged on the top of the conveyor. A support is fixed above the middle of the workbench. The transfer assembly is located on the upper part of the support. The transfer assembly includes a first rodless cylinder, a second rodless cylinder, a pneumatic finger, a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, and an adsorption plate. The first rodless cylinder is mounted on the upper part of the support, and a second rodless cylinder is connected to one side of the first rodless cylinder. A pneumatic finger is mounted on one side of the second rodless cylinder, and one finger of the pneumatic finger is connected to the first clamping plate, while the other finger of the pneumatic finger is connected to the second clamping plate. An adsorption plate is mounted on one side of the second clamping plate.

[0006] Furthermore, a positioning component is provided in the middle of the conveyor, and the positioning component includes a first inductive switch, a first positioning cylinder and a first positioning plate. The first inductive switch is installed on one side of the middle part of the conveyor frame, and the first positioning cylinder is installed on one side of the upper part of the conveyor frame. The end of the first positioning cylinder is connected to the first positioning plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the positioning assembly also includes a second positioning cylinder and a second positioning plate. The second positioning cylinder is fixed on the other side of the upper part of the conveyor frame, and the end of the second positioning cylinder is connected to the second positioning plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a feeding tray is provided at one end of the top of the workbench, and limit rollers are rotatably connected to both ends of the top surface of the workbench. A motor is installed at the other end of the top of the workbench, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to a receiving tray.

[0009] Furthermore, a tensioning assembly is connected to the top of the guide frame, and the tensioning assembly includes a spring seat and a connecting frame. The spring seat is disposed on the top of the guide frame, and one end of the spring seat is connected to the connecting frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the tensioning assembly also includes a damping shaft and a rubber-coated wheel. The damping shaft is installed inside the connecting frame, and the rubber-coated wheel is provided on the outside of the damping shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, a vertical plate is fixed to the top of the workbench, and a second inductive switch is provided on the upper part of the vertical plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a clamping cylinder is installed on the top surface of the middle part of the conveyor frame, and an anti-slip plate is connected to the end of the clamping cylinder.

[0013] This utility model provides a semi-automatic continuous labeling device for paper tubes, which has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the transfer component, when the motor drives the receiving tray to rotate and move the material belt, the second induction switch will detect the position of the label. When the upper end of the label blocks the second induction switch, the motor will stop working. At the same time, the clamping cylinder will push the anti-slip plate to press the material belt tightly onto the vertical plate to prevent the material belt from shaking. At this time, the first rodless cylinder and the second rodless cylinder will move the open pneumatic finger to the label and then control the pneumatic finger to perform the clamping operation. At this time, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can be used to clamp the upper end of the label. Therefore, when the first rodless cylinder moves back, the label can be torn off from the material belt. During this process, the solenoid valve on the adsorption plate is opened to connect it with the external vacuum generator, so that the label is kept vertical during the movement of the label and the label is prevented from bending and causing wrinkles when it is pasted on the paper tube later.

[0015] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the positioning component, allows the first inductive switch to detect when the conveyor moves the paper tube between the first and second positioning plates. This triggers the controller to stop the conveyor operation. Then, the first positioning cylinder moves the first positioning plate, pushing the paper tube onto the second positioning plate. During this process, the arc-shaped grooves on the first and second positioning plates guide and center the paper tube, facilitating the transfer component to move the label into the paper tube. The second positioning cylinder then operates, pushing the paper tube through the second positioning plate, causing the inner side of the paper tube to adhere to the label on the adsorption plate, completing the automatic labeling operation. After labeling, the first and second positioning cylinders reset, releasing the paper tube. The conveyor then resumes operation, automatically unloading the labeled paper tube, enabling continuous labeling and significantly improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a semi-automatic continuous labeling device for paper tubes includes a workbench 1 and a transfer assembly 15. A conveyor 2 is mounted on the top of the workbench 1, and guide frames 3 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the conveyor 2. The guide frames 3 provide initial correction for the paper tubes. A positioning assembly 4 is located in the middle of the conveyor 2, and the positioning assembly 4 includes a first inductive switch 401, a first positioning cylinder 402, and a first positioning plate 403. The first inductive switch 401 is mounted on one side of the middle of the frame of the conveyor 2, and the first positioning cylinder 402 is mounted on one side of the upper part of the frame of the conveyor 2. The end of the first positioning cylinder 402 is connected to the first positioning plate 403. 03. The positioning component 4 also includes a second positioning cylinder 404 and a second positioning plate 405. The second positioning cylinder 404 is fixed on the other side of the upper part of the frame of the conveyor 2, and the end of the second positioning cylinder 404 is connected to the second positioning plate 405. When the conveyor 2 moves the paper tube between the first positioning plate 403 and the second positioning plate 405, it can be sensed by the first inductive switch 401, thereby stopping the conveyor 2 through the controller. Then, the first positioning cylinder 402 drives the first positioning plate 403 to move, which can push the paper tube onto the second positioning plate 405. During this process, the first positioning plate 403... 3. The arc-shaped groove on the second positioning plate 405 guides and centers the paper tube, facilitating the movement of the label into the paper tube via the transfer component 15. Then, the second positioning cylinder 404 operates, pushing the paper tube via the second positioning plate 405, causing the inner side of the paper tube to adhere to the label on the adsorption plate 1506, completing the automatic pasting operation. A feeding tray 5 is provided at one end of the top of the workbench 1, and limit rollers 6 are rotatably connected to both ends of the top surface of the workbench 1. A motor 7 is installed at the other end of the top of the workbench 1, and the output shaft of the motor 7 is connected to a receiving tray 8. A tensioning component 9 is connected to the top of the guide frame 3. Component 9 includes a spring seat 901 and a connecting frame 902. The spring seat 901 is mounted on the top of the guide frame 3, and one end of the spring seat 901 is connected to the connecting frame 902. The tensioning assembly 9 also includes a damping shaft 903 and a rubber-coated wheel 904. The damping shaft 903 is mounted inside the connecting frame 902, and the rubber-coated wheel 904 is mounted on the outside of the damping shaft 903. The spring seat 901 pushes the connecting frame 902, so that the rubber-coated wheel 904 presses the material strip onto the left limit roller 6. At this time, the damping force of the damping shaft 903 is used to make the rubber-coated wheel 904 rotate under a large tension, so that the material strip is tensioned.

[0023] like Figure 3As shown, a bracket 10 is fixed above the middle of the workbench 1, and a vertical plate 11 is fixed to the top of the workbench 1. A second inductive switch 12 is installed on the upper part of the vertical plate 11. When the motor 7 drives the receiving tray 8 to rotate and move the material belt, the second inductive switch 12 will detect the position of the label. A clamping cylinder 13 is installed on the top surface of the middle part of the frame of the conveyor 2, and an anti-slip plate 14 is connected to the end of the clamping cylinder 13. When the upper end of the label blocks the second inductive switch 12, the motor 7 will stop working. Simultaneously, the clamping cylinder 13 pushes the anti-slip plate 14 to press the material strip firmly onto the vertical plate 11, preventing the material strip from shaking. The transfer assembly 15 is located on the upper part of the bracket 10. The transfer assembly 15 includes a first rodless cylinder 1501, a second rodless cylinder 1502, a pneumatic finger 1503, a first clamping plate 1504, a second clamping plate 1505, and an adsorption plate 1506. The first rodless cylinder 1501 is located on the upper part of the bracket 10, and one side of the first rodless cylinder 1501 is connected to the first... Two rodless cylinders 1502 are used. A pneumatic finger 1503 is installed on one side of the second rodless cylinder 1502. One finger of the pneumatic finger 1503 is connected to a first clamping plate 1504, and the other finger of the pneumatic finger 1503 is connected to a second clamping plate 1505. The first rodless cylinder 1501 and the second rodless cylinder 1502 move the open pneumatic finger 1503 to the label. Then, the pneumatic finger 1503 is controlled to perform a clamping operation. At this time, the first clamping plate 1504 and the second clamping plate 1505 can be used to clamp the upper end of the label. Therefore, when the first rodless cylinder 1501 moves back, the label can be torn off from the material strip. An adsorption plate 1506 is installed on one side of the second clamping plate 1505. During the transfer process, the solenoid valve on the adsorption plate 1506 is opened to connect it to an external vacuum generator. This keeps the label vertical during the movement of the label and prevents the label from bending and causing wrinkles when it is subsequently pasted on the paper tube.

[0024] In summary, when using this semi-automatic continuous labeling device for paper tubes, firstly according to... Figures 1 to 4The structure shown first places the paper tube on the conveyor belt of conveyor 2. When conveyor 2 is operating, guide frame 3 provides initial correction for the paper tube. Next, when conveyor 2 moves the paper tube between the first positioning plate 403 and the second positioning plate 405, it is detected by the first inductive switch 401, which then stops the conveyor 2 via the controller. Afterwards, the first positioning cylinder 402 moves the first positioning plate 403, pushing the paper tube onto the second positioning plate 405. During this process, the first positioning plate 403 and the second positioning plate 405... The arc-shaped groove on the second positioning plate 405 guides and centers the paper tube. Then, when the motor 7 drives the take-up tray 8 to rotate and pull the material strip on the feed tray 5, the spring seat 901 pushes the connecting frame 902, causing the rubber-coated wheel 904 to press the material strip onto the left limit roller 6. At this time, the damping force of the damping shaft 903 allows the rubber-coated wheel 904 to rotate under a large tension, thus keeping the material strip taut. Then, when the upper end of the label blocks the second sensor switch 12, the motor 7 stops working, and the clamping cylinder 1... 3. The anti-slip plate 14 is pushed to press the material strip firmly onto the vertical plate 11, preventing the material strip from shaking. At this time, the first rodless cylinder 1501 and the second rodless cylinder 1502 move the open pneumatic finger 1503 to the label, and then control the pneumatic finger 1503 to perform a clamping operation. At this time, the first clamping plate 1504 and the second clamping plate 1505 can be used to clamp the upper end of the label. Therefore, when the first rodless cylinder 1501 moves back, the label can be torn off from the material strip. During this process, the solenoid valve on the adsorption plate 1506 is opened, so that... It is connected to an external vacuum generator, so that it remains vertical during the movement of the label. At this time, the label is moved into the paper tube by the transfer component 15. Finally, the second positioning cylinder 404 works, which pushes the paper tube through the second positioning plate 405, so that the inner side of the paper tube is attached to the label on the adsorption plate 1506, completing the automatic pasting operation. After pasting, the first positioning cylinder 402 and the second positioning cylinder 404 are reset, which can release the paper tube. At this time, the conveyor 2 resumes work and can automatically unload the labeled paper tube.
