Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a labeling fixture for whiteboard magnetic particles. Background Technology
[0002] Whiteboard magnets are office supplies that are magnetic and can be attracted to whiteboards, thus fixing thin items such as paper, posters, or labels to the whiteboard. Whiteboard magnets generally consist of a plastic clip and a magnetic block embedded in the plastic clip. After assembly, a label needs to be affixed to the outer wall of the plastic clip.
[0003] Currently, label application is mostly done manually. Workers hold a whiteboard magnet in one hand and peel off the adhesive label with the other, attaching it to the plastic clip on the magnet before placing it in a storage box. However, this method is inefficient, cumbersome, and inconsistent in label placement and application pressure, leading to labels easily becoming crooked or falling off. Furthermore, increasing efficiency requires more workers, resulting in higher labor costs. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

The telescopic end of the adjusting cylinder 417 is set laterally to the left or right, and another clamping roller 49 is laterally and rotatably connected in the roller frame 418.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] The unloading tray 46 with the label paper wound on it is installed onto the back plate 42. Then, the outer end of the label paper is pulled to the left and passes over a guide rod 47 on the right side, embedding itself between the two limiting rings 416 on the guide rod 47. Then, it is pulled to the left along the top of the carrier plate 44 to the space between the separating block 45 and the carrier plate 44. Then, it passes downward through the separating notch 451 and passes to the right of a guide rod 47 on the left side, embedding itself between the two limiting rings 416 on the guide rod 47. Then, it passes downward between the two clamping rollers 49 and is finally fixed onto the take-up cylinder 415 in the take-up unit. First, the telescopic end of the driving adjustment cylinder 417 is extended outward to carry... One clamping roller 49 moves towards the other clamping roller 49 until the label paper is clamped. Then, the unwinding motor 48 is started to rotate its shaft, and the label paper is slowly pulled out from the unwinding tray 46 by the two clamping rollers 49. When the label paper passes through the separation notch 451, the label paper pasted on the label paper base film will automatically separate because it cannot be bent and continue to move to the top of the tray 43 to the left. During this process, the winding motor 414 in the winding unit is also started to rotate its shaft, which drives the take-up cylinder 415 to rotate, so that the label paper base film is slowly wound onto the take-up cylinder 415.
[0040] When the separated label moves to the top of the tray 43, the moving end of the electric slide 410 in the gripping unit moves to the right until the pneumatic suction cup 412 is above the label. Then, the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder 411 is driven to extend outward to drive the pneumatic suction cup 412 to move downward until the suction port of the pneumatic suction cup 412 contacts the top of the label. Then, the pneumatic suction cup 412 is activated to suck up the label with its suction port. Then, the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder 411 is driven to retract inward to move the label upward with the help of the pneumatic suction cup 412. At the same time, the moving end of the electric slide 410 is driven to move to the right to move the label to the upper edge of the turntable 31 in the rotation mechanism 3.
[0041] A whiteboard magnetic particle is placed sequentially on one side of the feeding mechanism 5. Then, the telescopic end of the moving cylinder 52 in the feeding mechanism 5 is driven to retract inward or extend outward to move the pneumatic finger 54 toward the whiteboard magnetic particle with the help of the second lifting cylinder 53, until both grippers of the pneumatic finger 54 are above the whiteboard magnetic particle. Then, the telescopic end of the second lifting cylinder 53 is driven to extend outward to move the pneumatic finger 54 downward, while the two grippers of the pneumatic finger 54 are driven to separate from each other until the two grippers of the pneumatic finger 54 are on both sides of the whiteboard magnetic particle. Then, the two grippers of the pneumatic finger 54 can be driven to move closer to each other to clamp the whiteboard magnetic particle. Finally, the second lifting cylinder 53 and the moving cylinder 52 are operated in the same way to move the whiteboard magnetic particle to the edge of the turntable 31 in the switching mechanism 3.
[0042] Next, the rotation motor 33 in the rotation mechanism 3 is started to rotate its rotating shaft, which in turn drives the input shaft of the gearbox 32 to rotate via the first pulley 34, the second pulley 35 and the belt 36, thereby causing the turntable 31 to rotate slowly. When one of the positioning seats 37 moves above the white board magnetic particle, the rotation motor 33 is stopped and the second lifting cylinder 53 is operated to move the white board magnetic particle down, thereby moving the white board magnetic particle between the two L-shaped blocks 372. At this time, the two grippers of the pneumatic finger 54 are located on the outer sides of both ends of the material grabbing channel 374. Then, the two grippers of the pneumatic finger 54 can be driven to separate to release the white board magnetic particle. Similarly, the second lifting cylinder 53 and the moving cylinder 52 are operated to drive the pneumatic finger 54 back along the original path, thus preparing to grab the next white board magnetic particle. The locking block 373 on each L-shaped block 372 clamps the white board magnetic particle by means of the elastic reset function to effectively fix the white board magnetic particle.
[0043] Continue to start the rotating motor 33 to drive the whiteboard magnetic particles to rotate in the direction of the gripping unit with the help of the turntable 31. When the whiteboard magnetic particles rotate to the bottom of the label, the rotating motor 33 stops rotating and drives the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder 411 to extend outward to drive the pneumatic suction cup 412 to move downward, thereby driving the label to move downward until the adhesive side of the label contacts the top of the whiteboard magnetic particles to initially complete the attachment. Then the pneumatic suction cup 412 will return to the original path to pick up the next label.
[0044] Continue to start the rotating motor 33 to drive the whiteboard magnetic particles to rotate in the direction of the gripping unit with the help of the turntable 31. When the whiteboard magnetic particles rotate to the bottom of the pressing head 63 in the pressing mechanism 6, the rotating motor 33 stops rotating and drives the extension end of the pressing cylinder 62 to extend outward to drive the pressing head 63 to move downward, thereby firmly attaching the label to the top of the whiteboard magnetic particles, thus completing the labeling process.
[0045] Continue to start the rotating motor 33 to drive the whiteboard magnetic particles to rotate in the direction of the gripping unit with the help of the turntable 31. When the whiteboard magnetic particles with labels are moved to the downstream side of the pressing mechanism 6, the whiteboard magnetic particles can be removed manually or by a robotic arm.
[0046] This invention integrates the label tearing, whiteboard magnetic particle feeding, and affixing processes into a single, automated machine, eliminating the need for manual operation. This significantly improves work efficiency and simplifies operation steps. Furthermore, it ensures uniform label placement and proper adhesion to effectively prevent label misalignment and detachment. Additionally, it reduces the number of staff required, thereby lowering labor costs.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
