[0002] A label is a brief sign used to indicate the name, weight, volume, and purpose of an item. There are traditional printed labels and modern barcode printed labels. Traditional printed labels use a printing device to print the above information onto the label.

[0003] In existing printing equipment, label paper is fed into the printing press by the output roller for printing, and then wound up by the take-up roller after printing. To maintain the tension of the label paper during printing and ensure printing quality, the label paper between the output roller and the take-up roller must maintain a certain tension. However, in the later stages of printing, as the amount of label paper on the output roller gradually decreases, the label paper at that point begins to loosen and cannot maintain tension, which can easily lead to printing deviations and affect printing quality.

[0017] In a specific implementation of this utility model, the discharge roller 2 and the take-up roller 3 are fixed on the machine base 1 by a support frame. The discharge roller 2 and the take-up roller 3 rotate on the support frame. The discharge roller 2 and the take-up roller 3 are equipped with drivers to drive the discharge roller 2 and the take-up roller 3 to rotate. The printing machine 4 adopts the equipment of the prior art. The material guiding mechanism 6 also includes a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism drives the guide roller 63 to slide up and down on the bracket 61 to realize the adjustment of the distance between the two guide rollers 63. The drive mechanism includes a telescopic device 62, a drive plate 64, and a connecting plate 65. The telescopic device 62 is located at the top of the bracket 61 or the top of the base 1, meaning that the telescopic device 62 can drive one of the guide rollers 63. The bracket 61 is inverted U-shaped, and the two ends of the guide roller 63 slide on both sides of the bracket 61 through bearing seats. The output end of the telescopic device 62 is connected to the drive plate 64. The axis of the drive plate 64 is parallel to the axis of the guide roller 63. The two ends of the drive plate 64 are provided with connecting plates 65, which are connected to the roller shaft of the guide roller 63. The drive plate 64 and the connecting plates 65 at both ends also form an inverted U-shape. The telescopic device 62 drives the guide roller 63 to slide up and down on the bracket 61. The guide rollers 63 of the multiple sets of guide mechanisms 6 are at different heights on the bracket 61 so that the conveyed label paper is in a certain tension state.

[0018] In a specific implementation of this utility model, the printing press 4 is provided with an exhaust mechanism 7 for cleaning the surface of the label paper on the inlet side. The exhaust mechanism 7 includes an exhaust hood 71, an air duct 72, a collection box 73, and an exhaust fan 74 connected in sequence.

The air inlet of the axial flow fan 9 faces the filter screen II 51, and the air outlet of the axial flow fan 9 faces the heating tube 10.

[0019] In use, the label paper starts from the output roller, passes between the two guide rollers of the guiding mechanism, and enters the printing press for printing. After printing, it goes from the printing press to the drying chamber for drying. Then, it passes through the gap between the two guide rollers of the guiding mechanism again to reach the take-up roller for winding. When there is a lot of label paper on the output roller, the gap between the two guide rollers can be larger. The label paper is only tensioned by a single guide roller of the guiding mechanism. When the amount of label paper on the output roller decreases to a certain extent, the gap between the two guide rollers is adjusted. The friction generated by the two guide rollers on the label paper can keep the label paper taut, which is conducive to maintaining good printing quality.
