Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling machine technology, specifically a handheld labeling device. Background Technology
[0002] In the express delivery and logistics industry, the affixing of express labels is a crucial step in the sorting and circulation of goods. Existing express labels consist of a base paper and label pages spaced apart on the base paper. The back of the label pages is coated with adhesive, and they need to be peeled off from the base paper and affixed to the surface of the package when in use.
[0003] Currently, label labeling equipment on the market is mainly divided into two categories: automated label labeling machines and handheld label labeling machines. Automated label labeling machines achieve automatic label peeling and pasting through mechanical transmission, adsorption and other structures, which is highly efficient. However, these machines are generally more expensive and occupy a larger area. For small express delivery stations with low business volume and limited space, there are problems of high procurement costs and low space utilization, making it difficult to popularize their application.
[0004] In addition, handheld label labeling devices, due to their small size and portability, have found some application in small-scale express delivery scenarios. However, existing handheld devices have certain drawbacks in practical use. For example, after the labels are peeled off, they do not adhere tightly to the package surface, easily resulting in wrinkles, curling, and other unevenness. Furthermore, due to the lack of a precise paging control structure, it often happens that two consecutive labels are peeled off simultaneously and mistakenly affixed to the same package. Therefore, we propose a handheld label labeling device to effectively solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a handheld label pasting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art regarding the easy occurrence of label pasting wrinkles and inaccurate page division in existing label pasting devices.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a handheld label-applying device, comprising:
[0007] The paper bin is a hollow structure with an open top and front end. A baffle is provided in the middle of the inner side of the top of the paper bin. A paper feeding part in the shape of a "7" is also provided in the front of the inner side of the paper bin. The vertical section of the paper feeding part is connected to the bottom wall of the paper bin.
[0008] A handle, wherein the handle is located on the bottom surface of the paper tray;
[0009] A label-scraping assembly is disposed above the top wall of the paper feed section and is used to apply pressure to the label paper so that the label paper adheres to the surface of the object to be labeled.
[0010] A paper pressing assembly is located at the front end of the paper compartment. The paper pressing assembly includes a paper pressing roller. In operation, the paper pressing roller is rotatably positioned below the top wall of the paper feed section and abuts against the lower surface of its top wall.
[0011] Optionally, the scratching assembly includes a scratching plate, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the paper tank, the other end of which extends out of the paper tank, and a mating hole is provided through the middle of the scratching plate;
[0012] The label-scraping assembly also includes a pin, which has a T-shaped structure. The two ends of the pin are rotatably engaged with the two side walls of the paper tray, and the bottom end of the pin passes through the mating hole. In its natural state, the bottom end of the pin abuts against the top surface of the paper feed section. When the front end of the label-scraping plate is bent upward, there is a gap between the bottom end of the pin and the top surface of the paper feed section.
[0013] Optionally, the label-scraping assembly includes a label-supporting roller, the two ends of which are rotatably engaged with the two side walls of the paper tank, and one side of the label-supporting roller extends out of the paper tank.
[0014] The scratching assembly also includes an inclined plate, which is fixedly disposed above the top wall of the paper feed section, and there is a gap between the inclined plate and the top surface of the paper feed section.
[0015] Optionally, the paper pressing assembly includes two flipping parts, which are located on the outer sides of the paper tank respectively, and the bottom end of the flipping parts is rotatably connected to the side wall of the paper tank. The paper pressing roller is rotatably disposed between the two flipping parts.
[0016] Optionally, magnetic positioning components are embedded in both side walls of the paper tray near the front end. The flipping part can be attracted by the magnetic positioning components. When the pressure roller abuts against the lower surface of the top wall of the paper feed section, the magnetic positioning components are in contact with the flipping part.
[0017] Optionally, a paper-tearing section is provided between the two flipping sections, and the bottom end of the paper-tearing section is serrated.
[0018] Optionally, the bottom wall of the paper compartment has a paper feeding gap with the front end of the paper compartment, and the paper feeding part and the bottom wall of the paper compartment are integrally formed.
[0019] Optionally, both sides of the paper tray are provided with sliding openings, the length direction of which is parallel to the top wall of the paper feeding section, and the two ends of the baffle are respectively movably embedded in the two sliding openings.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a handheld labeling device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 2. The label-scraping assembly in this utility model also includes a push pin. When the previous label is finished, the push pin can abut against the upper surface of the label paper, thereby preventing the next label paper from extending, thus achieving the function of applying only one label at a time and effectively avoiding the occurrence of mis-application.
[0023] 3. This utility model also has a paper-tearing part, which is located in the paper feeding gap. When the bottom paper is long, the user can pull the bottom paper to contact the paper-tearing part, thereby tearing the bottom paper, which further helps to improve the flexibility of use of this utility model.
[0024] 4. This utility model has a baffle at the top of the paper tray. The baffle can prevent the labels from falling out of the paper tray. At the same time, the baffle can move back and forth in the paper tray to avoid blocking the label insertion action. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0036] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 A handheld label labeling device includes a paper tray 100, a handle 200, a label scraping assembly 300, and a paper pressing assembly 400. The paper tray 100 is a cavity structure with an open top and front end. A baffle 101 is provided at the middle of the inner side of the top of the paper tray 100. A paper feeding section 102 in the shape of a "7" is also provided at the front of the inner side of the paper tray 100. The vertical section of the paper feeding section 102 is connected to the bottom wall of the paper tray 100. Specifically, there is a paper feeding gap 104 between the bottom wall and the front end of the paper tray 100. The paper feeding section 102 and the bottom wall of the paper tray 100 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the paper feeding section 102 and the bottom wall of the paper tray 100 are integrally formed injection molded parts.
[0037] The inner width of the paper tray 100 is slightly larger than the width of the label paper, and the distance between the vertical section of the paper feed section 102 and the rear wall of the paper tray 100 is slightly larger than the length of a single label. Additionally, several perforations are provided through the two side walls of the paper tray 100 to reduce its weight. These perforations are arrow-shaped, serving as indicators to show the label installation direction. The perforation design also enhances aesthetics and facilitates observation of the remaining label quantity within the paper tray. It is worth noting that the label paper consists of a base paper (release paper) and several label sheets, which are spaced apart on the base paper and stacked inside the paper tray 100.
[0038] In addition, the handle 200 is located on the bottom surface of the paper tray 100; the handle 200 is a hollow columnar structure, which is welded and fixed to the bottom surface of the paper tray 100, and the front end of the handle 200 has a finger groove that fits the fingers so that the user can hold it in a more comfortable posture for a long time.
[0039] Furthermore, the label assembly 300 is disposed above the top wall of the paper feed section 102, and is used to apply pressure to the label paper to adhere it to the surface of the object to be labeled. The label assembly 300 includes a label plate 301, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the paper tray 100, and the other end of which extends out of the paper tray 100. A mating hole is provided through the middle of the label plate 301. Specifically, the label plate 301 is a plastic plate with a thickness of approximately 0.7 mm and a certain degree of toughness. Mounting blocks are welded to both inner side walls of the paper tray 100. The mounting blocks have slots for inserting the label plate 301. The two corners of the label plate 301 are respectively embedded into the slots of the two mounting blocks, and the two are interference-fitted.
[0040] In addition, the label assembly 300 also includes a pin 302, which has a T-shaped structure. The two ends of the pin 302 are rotatably engaged with the two side walls of the paper tray 100, and the bottom end of the pin 302 passes through the engagement hole. In its natural state, the bottom end of the pin 302 abuts against the top surface of the paper feed section 102. When the front end of the label plate 301 is bent upward, it can drive the bottom end of the pin 302 to lift up, thereby creating a gap between the bottom end of the pin 302 and the top surface of the paper feed section 102. It should be noted that the ejector pin 302 has two rotating shafts at both ends, which are respectively rotatably engaged with the two side walls of the paper tray 100; in its natural state, the bottom end of the ejector pin 302 passes through the mating hole and abuts against the paper feed section 102 under the constraint of the mating hole; in the working state, the front end of the squeegee 301 abuts against the object to be labeled, and at the same time, the squeegee 301 moves backward to make the label adhere tightly to the object. During this process, the squeegee 301 will inevitably bend and warp upward, such as... Figure 5 As shown, this causes the ejector pin 302 to rotate, so that the bottom end of the ejector pin 302 can be lifted up, allowing the label to move forward more smoothly. When the scraper plate 301 leaves the object to be labeled, the ejector pin 302 will return to its angle as the scraper plate no longer warps and press the next label, effectively preventing the next label from being pulled out by the previous action.
[0041] It should be added that the bottom of the ejector pin 302 and the front of the label scraper 301 are both smooth to avoid damaging the label.
[0042] In this embodiment, the paper pressing assembly 400 is disposed at the front end of the paper bin 100. The paper pressing assembly 400 includes a paper pressing roller 401. In the working state, the paper pressing roller 401 is rotatably disposed below the top wall of the paper feeding part 102 and abuts against the lower surface of its top wall, and one side of the paper pressing roller 401 extends out of the paper bin 100.
[0043] In this embodiment, the label paper is stacked inside the paper tray 100, and one end of the label paper passes between the scraper plate 301 and the top wall of the paper feed section 102, and then passes through the pressure roller 401 and the lower surface of the top wall of the paper feed section 102. When the pressure roller 401 rolls along the surface of the object, the continuous rotation of the pressure roller 401 can pull the label paper outward continuously.
[0044] Furthermore, since the labels are applied one by one to the backing paper, and the labels have a certain thickness, the squeegee 301 remains in contact with the upper surface of the label as it extends, thus adhering the label to the object's surface. When a label is applied, the user lifts the squeegee 301 to remove it from contact with the object, and the bottom end of the ejector pin 302 comes into contact with the backing paper. Because the label itself has a certain thickness, the ejector pin 302 will prevent the next label from extending.
[0045] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: the scratch label assembly 300 includes a support roller 303, the two ends of which are rotatably engaged with the two side walls of the paper tray 100, and one side of the support roller 303 extends out of the paper tray 100; the scratch label assembly 300 also includes an inclined plate 304, which is fixedly disposed above the top wall of the paper feeding part 102, and there is a gap between the inclined plate 304 and the top surface of the paper feeding part 102; in this embodiment, the inclined plate 304 and the paper feeding part 102 are integrally molded injection parts.
[0046] In this embodiment, during specific application, the free end of the label paper passes between the inclined plate 304 and the top wall of the paper feed section 102, and then passes between the pressure roller 401 and the lower surface of the top wall of the paper feed section 102. In this embodiment, the inclined plate 304 allows the label paper to adhere to the top wall of the paper feed section 102, while both the label support roller 303 and the pressure roller 401 roll along the surface of the object. The label support roller 303 ensures the label is flatly adhered to the surface, while the pressure roller 401 continuously pulls the label paper outwards.
[0047] It should be noted that, compared to the label-scraping component 300 in Embodiment 1, the label-scraping method in this embodiment is obviously simpler. However, its disadvantage is that after a label is affixed, the user may continue to move the pressure roller 401 due to inertia, resulting in the mis-affixing of the next label. Therefore, the operation process of this embodiment requires more experience from the user in label-applying, and for those with insufficient experience, the error rate may be higher than that of the label-scraping method in Embodiment 1.
[0048] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9This application also proposes a handheld label applicator, wherein the paper pressing assembly 400 includes two flipping parts 402, which are located on the outer sides of the paper tray 100, and the bottom end of the flipping parts 402 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the paper tray 100. The paper pressing roller 401 is rotatably disposed between the two flipping parts 402. That is, the paper pressing roller 401 can move through the two flipping parts 402 so that, in the initial state, the label paper can smoothly pass between the paper pressing roller 401 and the paper feeding part 102.
[0049] In addition, magnetic positioning components 103 are embedded in both side walls of the paper tray 100 near the front end. The flipping part 402 can be attracted by the magnetic positioning components 103. When the pressure roller 401 abuts against the lower surface of the top wall of the paper feed part 102, the magnetic positioning components 103 and the flipping part 402 are in contact. The magnetic positioning components 103 are permanent magnets, while the flipping part 402 is made of iron. When the pressure roller 401 abuts against the lower surface of the top wall of the paper feed part 102, the magnetic positioning components 103 and the flipping part 402 are attracted, thereby positioning the flipping part 402.
[0050] Furthermore, a tearing section 403 is provided between the two flipping sections 402, and the bottom end of the tearing section 403 is serrated. Due to the continuous action of the pressure roller 401, the backing paper of the label paper passes through the paper feed gap 104. When the used backing paper is too long, it will obviously affect the subsequent labeling work. Therefore, the user can hold the backing paper and pull it outward so that the bottom end of the tearing section 403 contacts the backing paper, thereby cutting the backing paper.
[0051] In some embodiments of this application, sliding openings 105 are provided through both side walls of the paper tray 100. The length direction of the sliding openings 105 is parallel to the top wall of the paper feed section 102, and both ends of the baffle 101 are respectively movably embedded in the two sliding openings 105. The upper surfaces of both ends of the baffle 101 have protrusions, which abut against the side walls of the paper tray 100 to achieve the positioning function of the baffle 101.
[0052] The purpose of setting the sliding opening 105 is to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the mounting baffle 101, while the baffle 101 prevents the internal label paper from falling out, thus ensuring the sustainability of the labeling work.
[0053] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.
[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
