The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the labeling device in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partially enlarged schematic diagram at point A. This application provides a labeling device, including a material guiding mechanism 10 and a material pushing mechanism 20. The material guiding mechanism 10 guides the base material 16 to a labeling area 61, where a removable product 63 to be labeled is placed. The product 63 to be labeled is arranged on one side of the base material 16 in the labeling area 61.

[0035] The pushing mechanism 20 includes a movable pushing component 21, which is arranged on the other side of the base material 16 in the labeling area 61. The pushing component 21 acts on the base material 16 in the labeling area 61 and moves the base material 16 closer to the product 63 to be labeled so that the base material 16 is attached to the product 63 to be labeled.

[0036] In the labeling device provided in this application embodiment, the design of the material guiding mechanism 10 ensures that the base material 16 can be smoothly and accurately guided to the labeling area 61, avoiding offset or misalignment of the base material 16 during the transmission process. By controlling the movement of the pusher 21 in the pusher mechanism 20, appropriate pressure can be applied to the side of the base material 16 away from the product 63 to be labeled, causing the base material 16 to adhere tightly to the product 63 to be labeled, thereby achieving efficient and accurate labeling operation.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A front view of the structural schematic diagram of the labeling device in the embodiment. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A partially enlarged schematic diagram at point B. In some embodiments, the system further includes a mounting frame 60, on which the material guiding mechanism 10 and the material pushing mechanism 20 are mounted. The material guiding mechanism 10 includes a feeding roller 13 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 60 and several guide rollers 14. The feeding roller 13 is wound with base material 16, and each guide roller 14 is used to tension the base material 16 and guide its conveying path. The feeding roller 13 rotates to allow the wound base material 16 to unwind smoothly, and through the tensioning and guiding of the guide rollers 14, it is accurately conveyed to the labeling area 61. Optionally, to maintain stable tension of the base material 16, the material guiding mechanism 10 also includes a counterweight 15, which is adjacent to the feeding roller 13 and suspended on the mounting frame 60. The counterweight 15 uses its own weight to generate resistance, providing basic tension for the base material 16 and preventing it from becoming too loose or too tight.

[0038] In other embodiments, the guide roller 14 and the discharge roller 13 may also be directly mounted on the wall.

[0039] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the material guiding mechanism 10 further includes a first clamping component 11 and a first driving component 12. The first driving component 12 is used to drive the first clamping component 11 to move closer to or away from the labeling area 61. The first clamping component 11 can clamp or release the base material 16.

[0040] Specifically, during the movement of the first clamping component 11 towards the labeling area 61 driven by the first driving component 12, the first clamping component 11 clamps the base material 16; during the movement of the first clamping component 11 away from the labeling area 61 driven by the first driving component 12, the first clamping component 11 releases the base material 16. The first driving component 12 can be a linear driving mechanism, including but not limited to cylinders, lead screws, or electric push rods, etc., without specific limitations here.

[0041] This application achieves automatic feeding and precise positioning of the base material 16 during the labeling process by intermittently clamping the base material 16 with the first clamping component 11 and cooperating with the first driving component 12 to move the clamped base material 16 closer to the labeling area 61. It is worth mentioning that in this application, the base material 16 in the labeling area 61 detaches from the end of the first clamping component 11 near the labeling area 61 and hangs down naturally. Therefore, the base material 16 in the labeling area 61 is not subject to the tension of the guiding mechanism 10, ensuring that the pusher 21 is not affected by other external forces when acting on the base material 16 in the labeling area 61. This allows the base material 16 to transition more smoothly during the labeling process, avoiding labeling quality problems caused by uneven tension.

[0042] To prevent the base material 16 in the labeling area 61 from curling or wrinkling and affecting the labeling quality, the first drive assembly 12 is configured to drive the first clamping assembly 11 to move vertically. Thus, when the first clamping assembly 11 clamps and moves the base material 16, it generates a vertical pulling force on the base material 16. After the first clamping assembly 11 releases, the base material 16 naturally droops in the original direction of force. This vertical pulling force helps to flatten the base material 16, especially when the base material 16 is soft or easily deformable. It effectively prevents labeling misalignment or air bubbles caused by uneven material during labeling, further enhancing the accuracy and stability of labeling and improving the overall performance of the labeling device.

[0043] Of course, since the base material 16 hangs naturally after being removed from the first clamping component 11 under the influence of gravity, in other embodiments, the first clamping component 11 can also move in a non-vertical direction, as long as it can pull the base material 16 to the predetermined position of the labeling area 61.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first clamping assembly 11 includes a mounting base 121, a fixing member 111, a movable member 112, and a driving member 113. The mounting base 121 is fixed to the movable end of the first driving assembly 12, and the fixing member 111 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 121. The movable member 112 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 121, and the base material 16 passes between the fixing member 111 and the movable member 112. The driving member 113 is disposed on the mounting base 121 and can act on the movable member 112, causing the movable member 112 to rotate, so that the movable member 112 abuts against the fixing member 111 to clamp the base material 16 or maintains a gap with the fixing member 111 to release the base material 16.

[0045] For example, the driving member 113 can be a linear driving mechanism, including but not limited to a cylinder, lead screw, or electric push rod, etc., without specific limitation here. When the movable member 112 is not acted upon by the driving member 113, a gap is maintained between it and the fixed member 111. The moving end of the driving member 113 can be movably held against the side of the movable member 112 away from the fixed member 111, thereby causing the movable member 112 to rotate toward the fixed member 111 until it abuts against the fixed member 111.

[0046] Optionally, the fixing member 111 has a guide groove 1111 on the side facing the movable member 112 to guide the base material 16. The guide groove 1111 extends vertically through the fixing member 111, and the movable member 112 movably abuts against the bottom wall of the guide groove 1111. The guide groove 1111 ensures that the base material 16 maintains the correct position during clamping, preventing it from shifting or tilting. At the same time, since the guide groove 1111 is vertically arranged and consistent with the downward direction of the base material 16 in the labeling area 61, it prevents the portion of the base material 16 that has come off the first clamping assembly 11 from curling or wrinkling, thus helping to maintain the flatness of the base material 16.

[0047] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the labeling device further includes a support mechanism 30, which includes a movable top support 31. When the pusher 21 applies the base material 16 to the product 63 to be labeled, the top support 31 abuts against the product 63 to support it. The top support 31 is positioned opposite to the pusher 21. It can be understood that during labeling, the top support 31 and the pusher 21 simultaneously abut against opposite sides of the product 63 to be labeled, which can prevent the product 63 from shifting due to unilateral force during the labeling process, thereby affecting the labeling quality.

[0048] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 20 includes a pushing drive assembly 22, which is connected to the pushing member 21 to drive the pushing member 21 to move; the support mechanism 30 includes a support drive assembly 32, which is connected to the support member to drive the top member 31 to move.

[0049] The pusher 21 and the top holder 31 are configured to move horizontally. When pushing the base material 16 in the labeling area 61, the horizontal movement path of the pusher 21 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the base material 16. This configuration ensures that the pusher 21 can apply a uniform and stable pushing force when acting on the base material 16, avoiding problems such as curling or wrinkling of the base material 16 due to improper pushing direction.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a movable cutting component 211, which is used to cut the base material 16. Specifically, the cutting component 211 is movably disposed on the pusher 21 in the horizontal direction, and the pusher 21 is also provided with a cutting drive assembly (not shown) for driving the movement of the cutting component 211. The cutting component 211 is disposed on the pusher 21 and can move synchronously with the pusher 21. At the same time, the cutting component 211 can move relative to the pusher 21 to independently control the timing of cutting the base material 16. After the pusher 21 pushes the base material 16 to be attached to the product 63 to be labeled, the cutting component 211, driven by the cutting drive assembly, moves in the horizontal direction toward the base material 16 to the predetermined cutting position of the base material 16, completing the cutting of the base material 16.

[0051] The material pushing drive assembly 22, the support drive assembly 32, and the material cutting drive assembly are linear drive mechanisms, including but not limited to cylinders, lead screws, or electric push rods, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0052] Please see Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the labeling device in another embodiment. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 Side view of the labeling device. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the conveying mechanism in the labeling device. In some embodiments, the labeling device further includes a conveying mechanism 40, which includes a second driving component 43 and a second clamping component 42 connected to the second driving component 43. The second clamping component 42 is used to clamp or release the product 63 to be labeled, and the second driving component 43 is used to drive the second clamping component 42 to place at least partially the product 63 to be labeled into or remove it from the labeling area 61.

[0053] The design of the conveying mechanism 40 makes the labeling process more automated and efficient. Specifically, the second drive assembly 43 can adopt a linear drive mechanism, including but not limited to cylinders, lead screws, or electric push rods, etc., without specific limitations. The second clamping assembly 42 is connected to the moving end of the second drive assembly 43. The second clamping assembly 42 can adopt a gripper, suction cup, or other structure to firmly hold the product 63 to be labeled, ensuring that it will not fall or shift during the conveying process. When labeling is required, the second drive assembly 43 is activated, driving the second clamping assembly 42 to accurately deliver the product 63 to be labeled into the labeling area 61. After labeling is completed, the second drive assembly 43 works again to remove the labeled product from the labeling area 61 for the next round of labeling operations. This design not only improves labeling efficiency but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of the labeling position.

[0054] Please see Figure 7In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 40 includes a rotating component 41 connected to a second clamping component 42 for driving the second clamping component 42 to rotate. In this embodiment, after the pusher 21 drives the base material 16 to initially adhere to the product 63 to be labeled, the rotating component 41 can further drive the second clamping component 42 to rotate, that is, drive the product 63 to be labeled to rotate, and the feeding roller 13 rotates synchronously to feed the base material 16, so that the base material 16 is wrapped around the product 63 to be labeled.

[0055] The rotating assembly 41 includes a rotary motor. In some embodiments, the rotary motor may be located at the moving end of the second drive assembly 43, and the second clamping assembly 42 is connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor. In some embodiments, the second drive assembly 43 is connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor, and the second clamping assembly 42 is connected to the moving end of the second drive assembly 43. Thus, the second drive assembly 43 can drive the second clamping assembly 42 to at least partially place or remove the product 63 to be labeled from the labeling area 61. Alternatively, the rotating assembly 41 can drive the product 63 to be labeled to rotate within the labeling area 61, causing the base material 16 to wrap around the outer periphery of the product 63.

[0056] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, a picking area 62 is also included, which can hold the product 63 to be labeled and the product after labeling. The second drive component 43 is configured to drive the second clamping component 42 to move between the picking area 62 and the labeling area 61 so that the second clamping component 42 can pick up and put down the product.

[0057] The specific workflow of the labeling device in this embodiment is as follows: First, the second clamping component 42 is activated to clamp the product 63 to be labeled from the material picking area 62, and the second driving component 43 moves it to the labeling area 61; the material guiding mechanism 10 guides the base material 16 to the labeling area 61, so that the base material 16 hangs naturally on one side of the product 63 to be labeled; then, the pushing mechanism 20 and the supporting mechanism 30 are activated to push the pushing component 21 and the top holding component 31 close to the product 63 to be labeled until they come into contact with the product, so that the base material 16 in the labeling area 61... The base material 16 is initially attached to the product. Then, the pusher 21 and the top holder 31 reset and release the product 63 to be labeled. Next, the rotating component 41 drives the second clamping component 42 and the product 63 to be labeled to rotate twice to ensure that the base material 16 is further wrapped around the product. The pusher mechanism 20 and the support mechanism 30 are restarted to make the base material 16 adhere to the product more closely. Finally, the cutter 211 is used to cut the base material 16 to separate the base material 16 from the labeled product. Then, the second drive component 43 moves the labeled product to the picking area 62.
