Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically to an integrated box folding and labeling machine system. Background Technology

[0002] Existing labeling equipment requires multiple label printers to work together on the sides to complete labeling on all four sides. However, label printers are expensive, and assigning printing tasks to multiple printers at the same time involves complex control logic, which can easily lead to misaligned printing. In addition, existing labeling equipment is not compatible with cartons of fixed width, length, and labeling position. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated box folding and labeling machine system that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] The technical solution to achieve the above objective is: a box folding and labeling integrated machine system, characterized in that: it includes a box folding machine, and the output end of the box folding machine is provided with a paper box rotating conveying mechanism, which is used to drive the paper box to rotate and move the paper box forward. A labeling mechanism and a label printer are provided on one side of the paper box rotating conveying mechanism, and the labeling mechanism is used to affix the labels printed by the label printer to the four sides of the paper box.

[0005] Furthermore, the cardboard box is a cuboid, including a bottom surface, two short sides, and two long sides. The cardboard box rotary conveyor mechanism is provided with labeling stations on both sides in the length direction and both sides in the width direction along the cardboard box conveying direction. When the cardboard box is located at the labeling station on both sides in the length direction, the cardboard box rotates so that the short side faces the labeling mechanism, and the labeling position on the short side of the cardboard box facing the labeling mechanism corresponds to the label pasting position of the labeling mechanism. When the cardboard box is located at the labeling station on both sides in the width direction, the cardboard box rotates so that the long side faces the labeling mechanism, and the labeling position on the long side of the cardboard box facing the labeling mechanism corresponds to the label pasting position of the labeling mechanism. A linear driver is also installed on the frame to drive the cardboard box conveyor to switch between the two stations of labeling on both sides in the length direction and labeling on both sides in the width direction. The output end of the linear driver is connected to the cardboard box rotary conveyor mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the carton rotary conveying mechanism includes a frame, on which a slide rail is installed along the conveying direction of the folding machine, a fixed plate is slidably installed on the slide rail, and a rotary drive device is installed on the fixed plate. The rotary drive device has its rotary end facing upward and is equipped with a carton conveyor along the carton output direction.

[0007] Furthermore, a gantry frame is installed in the middle of the carton conveyor. The height of the gantry frame is greater than the height of the conveyed carton. A horizontally arranged lifting mounting plate is installed inside the gantry frame. A slide rod is installed below the lifting mounting plate along the width direction of the carton conveyor. Baffles are slidably installed on both sides of the slide rod. The baffles are isosceles trapezoids with the smaller end facing down. A lateral displacement driver is also installed on the lifting mounting plate to drive the baffles on both sides to adjust the distance between them. A lifting driver is also installed at the top of the gantry frame. The output end of the lifting driver is connected to the center of the lifting mounting plate to drive the baffles on both sides to move downward into the carton and correct the position of the folded carton.

[0008] Furthermore, the length of the small end of the baffle is less than the length of the square cavity inside the paper box, the maximum length of the large end of the baffle is equal to the length of the square cavity inside the paper box, and the height of the baffle is not greater than the height of the square cavity inside the paper box.

[0009] Furthermore, the labeling structure includes a vertically mounted fixed bracket. A labeling driver is installed on the side of the fixed bracket away from the paper box conveyor. The output end of the labeling driver passes through the fixed bracket and is connected to a mounting plate. A lateral drive cylinder is mounted on the mounting plate. The output end of the lateral drive cylinder is connected to a sponge vacuum suction cup. The lateral drive cylinder is used to drive the sponge vacuum suction cup to approach or move away from the label printer. The suction surface of the sponge vacuum suction cup is close to the label output by the label printer and is used to adsorb the label output by the label printer.

[0010] Furthermore, the sponge vacuum suction cup is connected to the output end of the lateral drive cylinder via an elastic mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic mechanism includes connecting plates arranged in parallel intervals, a slide rod arranged between the two connecting plates, a spring passing through the slide rod, one end of the slide rod being fixed to the connecting plate on the side away from the lateral drive cylinder, and the other end of the slide rod sliding through the connecting plate on the side close to the lateral drive cylinder, and the protruding end being connected to a limit cap.

[0012] Furthermore, the paper box conveyor is a belt conveyor. The conveyor belt of the belt conveyor is provided with two sections spaced apart along the width direction. A gap is left between the two sections of the conveyor belt. A vacuum suction cup is installed in the gap. The suction end of the vacuum suction cup faces upward and is 0.1-5mm lower than the conveying surface of the belt conveyor.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1) This utility model can achieve labeling on all four sides of a paper box using a single label printer, effectively reducing production costs; 2) This utility model can switch the labeling position of the paper box using a linear actuator to adapt to labeling on all four sides of a rectangular paper box, and can also control the extension and retraction length of the linear actuator to control the labeling position of paper boxes of different sizes.

[0020] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model includes a box folding machine 1. The output end of the box folding machine 1 is provided with a paper box rotating conveying mechanism 2. The paper box rotating conveying mechanism 2 is used to drive the paper box to rotate and to move the paper box forward. A labeling mechanism 3 and a label printer 4 (model: TSCMH341T) are provided on one side of the paper box rotating conveying mechanism 2. The labeling mechanism 3 is used to affix the labels printed by the label printer to the four sides of the paper box.

[0021] The carton rotary conveying mechanism 2 includes a frame 2.1, on which a slide rail 2.2 is mounted along the conveying direction of the folding machine. A fixed plate 2.3 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 2.2. A rotary drive device 2.4 is mounted on the fixed plate 2.3. The rotary drive device 2.4 has its rotary end facing upward and is equipped with a carton conveyor 2.5 along the carton output direction. The carton conveyor 2.5 is a belt conveyor. The conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 2.5 is configured as two intervals along its width, with a gap 2.51 between the two sections. A vacuum suction cup 7 is installed in the gap 2.51. The suction end of the vacuum suction cup 7 faces upward and is 0.1-5mm lower than the conveying surface of the belt conveyor 2.5.

[0022] The cardboard box 5 is a cuboid, including a bottom surface, two short sides 5.1 and two long sides 5.2. The cardboard box rotating conveying mechanism 2 is provided with labeling stations on both sides in the length direction and both sides in the width direction along the cardboard box conveying direction. When the cardboard box is located at the labeling station on both sides in the length direction, the cardboard box 5 rotates so that the short side 5.1 faces the labeling mechanism 3, and the labeling position on the short side of the cardboard box facing the labeling mechanism 3 corresponds to the label pasting position of the labeling mechanism 3. When the cardboard box is located at the labeling station on both sides in the width direction, the cardboard box 5 rotates so that the long side faces the labeling mechanism 3, and the labeling position on the long side of the cardboard box facing the labeling mechanism 3 corresponds to the label pasting position of the labeling mechanism 3.

[0023] The frame 2.1 is also equipped with a linear driver 6 that drives the carton conveyor 2.5 to switch between two labeling stations on both sides in the length direction and two labeling stations on both sides in the width direction. The output end of the linear driver 6 is connected to the bottom end of the fixed plate 2.3 and may be, but is not limited to, using a cylinder.

[0024] A gantry frame 2.6 is installed in the middle of the carton conveyor 2.5. The height of the gantry frame 2.6 is greater than the height of the conveyed carton 5. A horizontally arranged lifting mounting plate 2.7 is installed inside the gantry frame 2.6. Below the lifting mounting plate 2.7, a slide bar 2.8 is installed along the width direction of the carton conveyor 2.5. There are two slide bars 2.8, and both ends are fixed to the bottom of the lifting mounting plate 2.7 by connecting seats. Two baffles 2.9 located above the carton are slidably arranged between the slide bars 2.8. The baffles 2.9 slide through the ear plates 2.11 protruding at their top ends. Two horizontally arranged lateral displacement actuators 2.10, with their telescopic ends facing opposite directions, are installed between the slide rods 2.8 and mounted on the lifting mounting plate 2.7. The lateral displacement actuators 2.10 may be, but are not limited to, cylinders. One lateral displacement actuator 2.10 corresponds to one baffle 2.9. The telescopic end of the lateral displacement actuator 2.10 is connected to the ear plate 2.11 at the top of the corresponding baffle 2.9. The tail end of the lateral displacement actuator 2.10 passes through the ear plate 2.11 at the top of the opposite baffle 2.9 and is fitted with a clearance between them.

[0025] The baffle 2.9 is an isosceles trapezoid with the smaller end facing down. The length of the smaller end of the baffle 2.9 is less than the length of the square cavity inside the cardboard box 5. The maximum length of the larger end of the baffle 2.9 is equal to the length of the square cavity inside the cardboard box 5. The height of the baffle 2.9 is not greater than the height of the square cavity inside the cardboard box 5.

[0026] The top of the gantry frame 2.6 is also equipped with a lifting driver 2.12. The lifting driver 2.12 may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder. The output end of the lifting driver 2.12 is connected to the center of the lifting mounting plate 2.7 to drive the side baffles 2.9 downward into the paper box to correct the position of the folded box 5.

[0027] The labeling structure 3 includes a vertically arranged fixed bracket 3.1. A labeling driver 3.2 is installed on the side of the fixed bracket 3.1 away from the paper box conveyor 2.5. The labeling driver 3.2 may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder. The output end of the labeling driver 3.2 passes through the fixed bracket 3.1 and is connected to a mounting plate 3.3. A lateral drive cylinder 3.4 is installed on the mounting plate 3.3. The output end of the lateral drive cylinder 3.4 is connected to a sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5. The lateral drive cylinder 3.4 is used to drive the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 to move closer to or away from the label printer 4. The suction surface of the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 is located behind the label outlet of the label printer 4 and close to the label output by the label printer 4, which facilitates the suction of the label output by the label printer 4.

[0028] The sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 is connected to the output end of the lateral drive cylinder 3.4 via an elastic mechanism 3.6. The elastic mechanism 3.6 includes parallel connecting plates 3.61, and a slide rod 3.62 is provided between the two connecting plates 3.61. A spring 3.63 passes through the slide rod 3.62. One end of the slide rod 3.62 is fixed to the connecting plate 3.61 on the side away from the lateral drive cylinder 3.4, and the other end of the slide rod 3.62 slides through the connecting plate 3.61 on the side closer to the lateral drive cylinder 3.4, and the protruding end is connected to a limit cap 3.64.

[0029] This utility model is used for folding and labeling square cardboard boxes with an open top. The specific working process is as follows:

[0030] 1. The cartons are folded in the folding machine 1 and then conveyed to the carton conveyor 2.5 in sequence, with one carton being output at a time;

[0031] 2. The paper box conveyor 2.5 conveys the paper box 5 forward to the labeling station on both sides in the width direction. The lifting driver 2.12 drives the baffle 2.9 downward to insert into the folded paper box 5, realizing the precise positioning of the paper box in the conveying direction (positional deviation may occur due to slippage, conveying accuracy, etc.). The lateral displacement driver 2.1 drives the baffles 2.9 on both sides to unfold to both sides, so that the baffles 2.9 on both sides fit against the side walls of the paper box 5, realizing the shaping of the paper box, and at the same time providing support for the next labeling step.

[0032] 3. The vacuum suction cup 7 adsorbs the bottom of the carton, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the positioning of the cardboard box 5;

[0033] 4. Label printer 4 prints the label and peels it off. When the label is about to be completely peeled off, the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 on the back generates suction to prevent the label from falling off after it is completely peeled off.

[0034] 5. After the label is picked up, the lateral drive cylinder 3.4 moves laterally, driving the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 away from the label printer 4. (Because the peeling device 4.1 of the label printer 4 will form an obstruction in the forward direction of the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5, when picking up the label, the lateral drive cylinder 3.4 drives the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 closer to the label printer 4, so that the label output by the label printer corresponds to the front and back positions of the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5. When labeling, the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 is driven away from the label printer 4 to avoid obstruction in front.)

[0035] 6. The labeling driver 3.2 drives the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 to adhere the label forward to the side wall of the paper box 5 (at this time, the linear driver 6 drives the paper box 5 on the paper box conveyor 2.5 to be in the labeling position on both sides in the width direction, so that the label on the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 corresponds to the labeling position on the side of the paper box facing the labeling mechanism 3 in the width direction). The rear side of the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 is damped by the spring 3.63 to prevent excessive contact impact with the paper box 5, and also to adhere the label even if the flatness and perpendicularity of the side of the paper box 5 are not good.

[0036] 7. The sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 is released, the labeling driver 3.2 retracts, and the rotary drive device 2.4 drives the carton conveyor 2.5 to rotate 90° in the forward direction. Due to the length-to-width ratio of the carton 5, there will be a drop in the labeling position in the other direction after rotation. At this time, the linear driver 6 drives the carton 5 on the carton conveyor 2.5 to move forward to the labeling position on both sides of the length direction, so that the label pasting position on the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 corresponds to the labeling position on the side of the carton in the length direction.

[0037] 8. The lateral drive cylinder 3.4 moves laterally, driving the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 to approach the label printer 4, so that the suction surface of the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 corresponds to the front and rear positions of the label output by the label printer. The label printer 4 prints the label and peels it off. When the label is about to be completely peeled off, the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 on the rear side generates suction to prevent the label from falling off after it is completely peeled off.

[0038] 9. The side-drive cylinder 3.4 drives the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 away from the label printer 4, avoiding the obstruction in front. The labeling driver 3.2 drives the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 to adhere the label forward to the side wall of the paper box 5 facing the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5.

[0039] 10. The sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 is released, the labeling driver 3.2 retracts, and the lateral drive cylinder 3.4 moves laterally, driving the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 to approach the label printer 4, so that the adsorption surface of the sponge vacuum suction cup 3.5 corresponds to the front and rear positions of the label output by the label printer.

[0040] 11. The rotary drive device 2.4 drives the carton conveyor 2.5 to complete a 90° rotation in the forward direction again. At this time, the linear drive 6 drives the carton 5 on the carton conveyor 2.5 to the labeling station on both sides in the width direction.

[0041] 12. Repeat steps 4-10 to complete labeling on all four sides of cardboard box 5;

[0042] 13. Repeat steps 1-12 to achieve continuous labeling of the cardboard box.
