[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a measuring tool for pre-packaged food labels, including a base 1, a first fixing device 2 for fixing cylindrical packaging, and a flexible scale band 3 for measuring the packaging fixed on the first fixing device 2. The base 1 is also provided with a placement plate 4, a second fixing device 5 for fixing square packaging, a scale plate 61 for measuring the packaging fixed on the second fixing device 5, and a first driving mechanism 71 for moving the scale plate 61 close to the second fixing device 5 for measurement.

[0021] The first fixing device 2 can fix cylindrical packaging such as beverage cans and glass bottles, and ensure that the packaging remains in a fixed position during measurement. The flexible scale strip 3 can be made of cloth, plastic, or thin metal strip, and the surface of the flexible scale strip 3 is printed with linear scales. One end of the flexible scale strip 3 is fixed to the base 1, and the other end can be pulled out and wrapped around the curved surface of the cylindrical packaging held by the first fixing device 2. The placement plate 4 can provide a stable placement platform for square packaging such as cardboard boxes and plastic boxes. The second fixing device 5 is used to fix the square packaging and prevent it from moving or tilting during measurement. In the embodiment, the scale plate 61 is made of engineering plastics or glass materials such as acrylic and polycarbonate with good light transmission performance and certain structural strength, making it transparent or semi-transparent, and the scale plate 61 has linear scales. The first driving mechanism 71 can drive the scale plate 61 close to the second fixing device 5, so that the scale plate 61 can measure the label on the square packaging through the linear scale.

[0022] When a user needs to measure the label area size of a cylindrical package, the cylindrical package is first placed in the first fixing device 2 for fixation. Then, the flexible scale strip 3 is pulled out and wrapped around the label to read the relevant dimensional data such as the perimeter, arc length, or height of the label. When a user needs to measure the label area size of a square package, the square package is first placed on the placement plate 4 and fixed using the second fixing device 5. Then, the scale plate 61 is driven by the first driving mechanism 71 to move towards the second fixing device 5 until a suitable measurement position for the square package is reached, thereby reading data such as the distance from the label to the edge and the height of the text.

[0023] With the flexible scale band 3 and scale plate 61, users can complete the measurement operation by using this measuring tool when measuring packaging of different shapes, without having to change the measuring platform according to the shape of the packaging, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0024] The base 1 includes a base 11 and an upwardly extending mounting bracket 12. A first fixing device 2 is disposed on the base 11. The placement plate 4 is disposed on the mounting bracket 12 and located above the first fixing device 2. The placement plate 4 has an opening 41 for a cylindrical package to pass through.

[0025] The mounting frame 12 is a support structure extending upward from the base 11. Its specific form can be a column, frame, or side panel. The placement plate 4 is installed on the top or side wall of the mounting frame 12. The first fixing device 2 is located on the base 11, and the placement plate 4 is located above the first fixing device 2, saving workbench space through a vertically layered design. The placement plate 4 has a clearance opening 41, the shape and size of which are designed to allow cylindrical packages held by the first fixing device 2 on the base 11 below to pass upwards. This effectively utilizes space, resulting in a compact structure. Both square and cylindrical packages are measured above the placement plate, facilitating measurement operations.

[0026] The base 1 is provided with an adjustment platform 6 located below the placement plate 4. The adjustment platform 6 is provided with a ruler base 62. The ruler base 62 has an installation groove 621. The scale plate 61 is detachably installed in the installation groove 621.

[0027] In this embodiment, the adjustment platform 6 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 12 of the base 1, positioned below the placement plate 4. The ruler base 62 has a mounting groove 621, the shape and size of which match the mounting end of the scale plate 61, allowing the scale plate 61 to be detachably mounted within the groove. This detachable design of the scale plate 61 allows users to easily remove it from the mounting groove 621 and replace it with a new scale plate 61 when the scale wears out or when different measurement needs arise.

[0028] In this embodiment, the adjustment table 6 is also provided with an opening for the cylindrical package to pass through upwards, thereby ensuring that the clamped cylindrical package can extend upwards to the measurement area without obstruction.

[0029] A second driving mechanism 72 is provided between the base 1 and the placement plate 4, which can drive the placement plate 4 to move in the up and down direction. The second fixing device 5 is connected to a third driving mechanism 73, which can drive the second fixing device 5 to move in the left and right direction.

[0030] The second drive mechanism 72 is disposed between the base 1 and the placement plate 4. By controlling the action of the second drive mechanism 72, the height of the placement plate 4 can be adjusted. In this embodiment, the second drive mechanism 72 includes a lead screw disposed on the mounting frame 12 in the vertical direction. One end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the upper part of the lead screw is provided with a knob that can drive the lead screw to rotate. The placement plate 4 is provided with a drive block that meshes with the lead screw. When the lead screw rotates, the drive block moves up and down along the lead screw, thereby driving the placement plate 4 to move up and down. The second drive mechanism 72 can also be implemented in other ways, such as by using a micro electric push rod, a pneumatic lifting column, etc., to drive the placement plate 4 to move up and down to achieve the function of the second drive mechanism 72. The third drive mechanism 73 can drive the second fixing device 5 to move in the left and right direction, thereby driving the square package fixed by the second fixing device 5 to move in the left and right direction. In this embodiment, the third driving mechanism 73 includes a lead screw mounted on the placement plate 4 in a left-right direction. One end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the placement plate 4, and the lead screw is equipped with a knob that can drive the lead screw to rotate. The second fixing device 5 is equipped with a driving block that meshes with the lead screw. When the lead screw rotates, the driving block moves left and right along the lead screw, thereby driving the second fixing device 5 to move left and right. The third driving mechanism 73 can also be implemented in other ways, such as by using a miniature electric push rod, a pneumatic lifting column, etc., to drive the second fixing device 5 to move up and down to achieve the function of the third driving mechanism 73. Through the arrangement of the second driving mechanism 72 and the third driving mechanism 73, the measuring instrument can be adjusted in height and left and right position relative to the scale plate 61 when it is in a square package, which facilitates measurement.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment, the scale plate 61 is provided with multiple rectangular frames for comparing whether the height of the label characters is compliant. Through the setting of the first driving mechanism 71, the second driving mechanism 72 and the third driving mechanism 73, the label characters of the square packaging can be aligned with the rectangular frames, thereby quickly comparing whether the height of the label characters of the square packaging meets the requirements.

[0032] The ruler base 62 has a first window 622 on the side near the second fixing device 5 for aligning the scale plate 61 with the packaging fixed on the second fixing device 5, and a second window 623 on the side away from the second fixing device 5 for the user to observe the reading on the scale plate 61.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first window 622 and the second window 623 are openings or transparent areas that penetrate the side wall of the ruler base 62. The first window 622 and the second window 623 are provided so that the user can align the measuring edge of the scale plate 61 with the label to be measured on the square package fixed on the second fixing device 5 during the measurement process and read the scale reading on the scale plate 61.

[0034] The ruler base 62 is provided with a flexible rope 624, and the flexible rope 624 is connected to a magnifying glass 63 for observing the readings on the scale plate 61.

[0035] In this embodiment, one end of the flexible rope 624 is fixedly connected to any area of ​​the ruler base 62 that is easy to access and does not affect the movement of other components. The magnifying glass 63 is connected to the other end of the flexible rope 624. The magnifying glass 63 is constructed by mounting a convex lens inside the frame. The setting of the magnifying glass 63 magnifies the scale lines and numerical markings on the scale plate 61 so that the user can read the measurement reading more clearly and accurately.

[0036] The first drive mechanism 71 includes a lead screw 711 arranged in the front-back direction. The ruler base 62 is provided with a threaded hole 625 that meshes with the lead screw 711. One end of the lead screw 711 is connected to a knob 712 for manual drive.

[0037] With the lead screw 711 in place, when the lead screw 711 is rotated by the knob 712, the thread in the threaded hole 625 that meshes with the lead screw 711 will force the ruler 62 to move linearly along the axis of the lead screw 711, which is simple in structure.

[0038] The first drive mechanism 71 can also be implemented in other ways, such as fixing a rack extending in the front-back direction on the base 1, installing a gear meshing with the rack on the ruler base 62, and connecting a handle to the shaft of the gear. By rotating the handle, the gear is driven to rotate, and the gear rolls on the rack, thereby driving the ruler base 62 to move linearly along the rack direction.

[0039] The first fixing device 2 includes a clamping seat 21, which is rotatably connected to at least two grippers 22. The clamping seat 21 is also provided with a drive cylinder 23 connected to the grippers 22 to drive the grippers 22 to rotate around the rotation connection point between the grippers and the clamping seat 21.

[0040] In this embodiment, the gripper 22 is hinged to the clamping seat 21 by means of a pin structure or the like. When the first fixing device 2 needs to fix the cylindrical package, the output end of the drive cylinder 23 pulls the gripper 22, causing the gripper 22 to rotate around the rotation connection point between it and the clamping seat 21, thereby driving the gripper 22 to move closer to the center to clamp and fix the cylindrical package.

[0041] The second fixing device 5 includes a clamping plate 51, which has a slot 511 for placing a square package, and a claw 52 rotatably connected to the clamping plate 51 to fix the square package in the slot 511.

[0042] When the square package is placed on the placement plate 4, one or two adjacent sides can be inserted into the slots 511 on the clamping plate 51. The inner wall of the slots 511 is used to initially position and limit the square package in the horizontal plane. The claws 52 can be configured to require a certain external force to rotate around their central axis. During the fixing operation, the user manually moves the claws 52 so that their pressing end presses against the positioned square package to complete the fixing. The claws 52 can also be pre-tensioned by a spring or other elastic element, so that they tend to rotate automatically in the direction of the slots 511. When the user needs to fix the square package, first apply force to move the claws 52 to open it, put the square package into the slots 511 to complete the positioning, and then release the external force applied to the claws 52. Under the restoring force of the elastic element, the claws 52 rotate and press the square package, thereby fixing the square package.
