Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-adhesive labeling technology, and in particular to a self-adhesive labeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] "Self-adhesive labels" are labels with self-adhesive backing that can be directly pasted after peeling off the backing paper. They are one of the most common and widely used label types. For cables, labels are usually folded in half and pasted on the cable to identify different types of cables.

[0003] Currently, label application on wires primarily relies on manual operation, which is inefficient and unsuitable for scenarios involving long wires or large-scale production. Manual operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to significant errors in controlling wire segment lengths and label placement, resulting in inconsistent label spacing, affecting overall aesthetics and subsequent identification. Furthermore, the lack of standardized procedures for manual operation leads to large fluctuations in parameters such as label placement and folding angles, impacting product quality stability. Manually folding labels also easily results in skewing and unevenness, reducing label adhesion and readability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing technologies rely primarily on manual operation for labeling wires. This method is inefficient and unsuitable for applications involving long wires or large-scale production. Manual operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to significant errors in controlling wire segment lengths and label placement, resulting in inconsistent label spacing, affecting overall aesthetics and subsequent identification. Furthermore, the lack of standardized procedures for manual operation leads to large fluctuations in parameters such as label placement and folding angles, impacting product quality stability. Manually folding labels can also cause skewing and unevenness, reducing label adhesion and readability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a self-adhesive label applicator, comprising:

[0006] The installation platform is provided with two symmetrically distributed installation frames; and a lifting block is vertically slidably connected inside the installation frame.

[0007] The folded plates are fixedly connected to a rotating shaft at their near ends, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting frame.

[0008] A folding mechanism is disposed between the lifting block and the folding plate;

[0009] A label transport mechanism is provided on the side of the folding plate and is equipped with a drive mechanism to reciprocate the label transport mechanism.

[0010] A mobile traction mechanism, which is used to limit and pull the wire;

[0011] In wire labeling, the wire is placed within a moving traction mechanism, which pulls the wire in segments. An externally installed label separator places the label onto a label transport mechanism, which then places the label at a folding plate. The folding mechanism folds the label in half along the wire, thus enabling label application. This segmented pulling combined with timed folding ensures more even label application intervals, reducing errors from manual application and improving efficiency.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the label transport mechanism includes two symmetrically distributed transport platforms. A transport plate is fixedly connected between the tops of the two transport platforms. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the lower end of each transport platform and is connected to the drive mechanism for transmission. The label can be transported to the folding plate through the label transport mechanism to facilitate subsequent folding.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the folding mechanism includes a cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the mounting platform. The cylinder output shaft is fixedly connected to the lifting block. A sliding pin is fixedly connected to the lower end of the folding plate. The lifting block has a horizontal limiting groove corresponding to the sliding pin. The limiting groove is slidably connected to the sliding pin. By setting the limiting groove and the sliding pin in cooperation, during the upward movement of the lifting block, the sliding pin can be squeezed to drive the two folding plates on both sides to move in opposite directions, thereby realizing the function of folding and pressing.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the mobile traction mechanism includes two sets of fixed frames located on both sides of the installation platform. Two symmetrically distributed conveyor wheels are rotatably connected within the fixed frames. A control motor is installed on the side end of one of the fixed frames. The output shaft of the control motor is connected to one of the conveyor wheels. The conveyor wheels generate friction and compression on the wire, driving the wire to move. By timing the drive of the control motor, the function of pulling the wire in segments can be realized, thereby achieving the function of moving and traction of the wire.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the installation platform has a groove corresponding to the bottom of the transport platform. The drive structure includes a lead screw rotatably connected in one of the grooves. A drive motor with an output shaft connected to the lead screw is installed on the side of the installation platform. The connecting block is threadedly connected to the lead screw below it. The function of moving the transport platform can be realized by the drive motor and the lead screw.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, guide rods are fixedly connected to the two grooves, and the guide rods are slidably connected to the corresponding connecting blocks. By cooperating with the connecting blocks, the guide rods can be used to limit the movement of the transport platform, thereby improving the stability of the transport platform.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, an adsorption plate is fixedly connected to the top of the folded plate. The top of the adsorption plate is provided with multiple sets of air holes, and the side of the adsorption plate is provided with a connection interface. By setting the adsorption plate, some air holes are blocked according to the length of the label. The adsorption plate is made to be in a negative pressure state through the connection interface. When the edge of the label comes into contact with the unblocked air holes, it can be adsorbed and thus remain on the adsorption plate.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, each of the mounting frames is provided with guide holes, and the lifting block is fixedly connected to a first guide pin and a second guide pin at the corresponding mounting frame position. The first guide pin and the second guide pin are slidably connected to their corresponding guide holes. By setting the first guide pin and the second guide pin in conjunction with the guide holes, the function of limiting the movement of the lifting block is achieved.

[0020] This invention replaces manual label application with a mechanical structure, significantly improving label application speed. By combining segmented pulling with timed application, it avoids problems such as label skewing and detachment caused by hand tremors or improper operation. It also ensures consistent label spacing, meets standardization requirements, and facilitates subsequent maintenance and management. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-adhesive label applicator, comprising:

[0029] Mounting platform 1, on which two symmetrically distributed mounting frames 11 are provided; lifting block 14, which is vertically slidably connected inside the mounting frame 11;

[0030] The folding plate 10 has a rotating shaft 19 fixedly connected to its near ends, and the rotating shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11.

[0031] A folding mechanism is positioned between the lifting block 14 and the folding plate 10.

[0032] The label transport mechanism is located on the side of the folding plate 10 and is equipped with a drive mechanism to reciprocate the label transport mechanism.

[0033] The mobile traction mechanism is used to limit and pull the wire.

[0034] In the labeling of wires, the wires are placed within a mobile traction mechanism, which pulls the wires in segments. An externally installed label separator places the labels onto a label transport mechanism, which then positions the labels at the folding plate 10. The folding mechanism folds the labels along the wires, facilitating label application. This unloading mechanism replaces manual labeling, significantly improving application speed. The combination of segmented pulling and timed application avoids issues like label skewing or detachment caused by hand tremors or improper operation. It also ensures consistent label spacing, meeting standardization requirements and facilitating subsequent maintenance and management.

[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the label transport mechanism includes two symmetrically distributed transport platforms 6. A transport plate 7 is fixedly connected between the tops of the two transport platforms 6. A connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each transport platform 6 and is connected to the drive mechanism. The label can be transported to the folding plate 10 through the label transport mechanism to facilitate subsequent folding.

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the folding mechanism includes a cylinder 15 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting platform 1. The output shaft of the cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 14. A sliding pin 18 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the folding plate 10. The lifting block 14 is provided with a horizontal limiting groove 17 corresponding to the sliding pin 18. The limiting groove 17 is slidably connected to the sliding pin 18. By setting the cooperation between the limiting groove 17 and the sliding pin 18, during the upward movement of the lifting block 14, the sliding pin 18 can be squeezed to drive the two folding plates 10 on both sides to move in opposite directions, thereby realizing the function of folding and pressing.

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the mobile traction mechanism includes two sets of fixed frames 8 located on both sides of the installation platform 1. Two symmetrically distributed conveyor wheels 9 are rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 8. A control motor 21 is installed on the side of one of the fixed frames 8. The output shaft of the control motor 21 is connected to one of the conveyor wheels 9. The conveyor wheel 9 generates friction and compression on the wire, driving the wire to move. By timed drive of the control motor 21, the function of pulling the wire in sections can be realized, thereby realizing the function of moving and traction of the wire.

[0038] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the top of the installation platform 1 has a groove corresponding to the bottom of the transport platform 6. The drive structure includes a lead screw 3 rotatably connected in one of the grooves. The side of the installation platform 1 is equipped with a drive motor 2 whose output shaft is connected to the lead screw 3. The connecting block 5 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 3 below it. The drive motor and the lead screw 3 can drive the transport platform 6 to move.

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, guide rods 4 are fixedly connected in the two grooves. The guide rods 4 are slidably connected to the corresponding connecting blocks 5. The guide rods 4 and the connecting blocks 5 can be used to limit the movement of the transport platform 6, thereby improving the movement stability of the transport platform 6.

[0040] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an adsorption plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the folded plate 10. The top of the adsorption plate 20 is provided with multiple sets of air holes, and the side of the adsorption plate 20 is provided with a connection interface. Some of the air holes can be blocked according to the length of the label. The adsorption plate 20 is in a negative pressure state through the connection interface. When the edge of the label comes into contact with the unblocked air holes, it can be adsorbed and thus remain on the adsorption plate 20.

[0041] like Figure 1-4 As shown, each mounting bracket 11 is provided with a guide hole 12. The lifting block 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 11 with a first guide pin 13 and a second guide pin 16 respectively. The first guide pin 13 and the second guide pin 16 are slidably connected to their corresponding guide holes 12. By setting the first guide pin 13 and the second guide pin 16 to cooperate with the guide holes 12, the lifting block 14 can be limited in movement.

[0042] Working principle: In wire labeling, the wire is placed between two sets of conveyor wheels 9. The conveyor wheels 9 are driven in a timed manner by the control motor 21, thereby pulling the wire in segments. The label can be placed on the label transport mechanism by an externally set label separator. The label is placed at the folding plate 10 by the movement of the conveyor table 6 and the lead screw 3. The lifting of the cylinder 15 drives the two folding plates 10 to move in opposite directions, thereby achieving the function of folding and pressing, thus realizing the labeling. The segmented pulling combined with timed folding and labeling can make the time interval of wire labeling more uniform, reduce the error of manual labeling, and improve the labeling efficiency.
