Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling machine technology, and in particular to a labeling machine that uses a combination of mechanical and electronic operation. Background Technology

[0002] Labeling machines are automated packaging equipment that uses electromechanical control mechanisms to accurately affix labels to predetermined positions. With the large-scale production and quality control upgrades in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and electronics and new energy, the labeling process has shifted from basic identification functions to a combination of requirements including accuracy assurance, efficiency improvement, and compliance traceability.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, traditional labeling equipment uses mechanical gears and cams as the core transmission components, without the assistance of electronic control modules. The mechanical transmission gaps result in large label application deviations, which seriously reduces the label application positioning accuracy and fails to meet the high-precision industry requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that traditional labeling equipment uses mechanical gears and cams as the core transmission components, without the assistance of electronic control modules.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a labeling machine with mechatronic collaborative operation, including a frame 1, a take-up roller 2 mounted on the top surface of the frame 1, a feeding roller 3 mounted on one end of the frame 1, a label strip 4 connected between the take-up roller 2 and the feeding roller 3, a label covering plate 5 fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 1, the middle part of the label strip 4 movably connected to the surface of the label covering plate 5, a fixing frame 8 mounted on the other end of the frame 1, a servo motor 81 mounted on one end of the fixing frame 8, and the output shaft end of the servo motor 81 fixedly connected to... There is a pressure roller 82, which is set on one side of the labeling plate 5. A positioning mechanism 6 is set on the outer side of the labeling plate 5. The positioning mechanism 6 includes a support plate 61, a cylinder 62, a support frame 63, a measuring photoelectric sensor 64, and an auxiliary pressure roller 65. The bottom end of the support plate 61 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 1. The cylinder 62 is installed on the top surface of the support plate 61. The support frame 63 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 62. The measuring photoelectric sensor 64 is installed on the upper outer wall of the support frame 63. The auxiliary pressure roller 65 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 63.

[0022] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described below. The take-up roller 2 and the feed roller 3 serve as the take-up and feed ends of the label tape 4, forming the basic path for tape transmission. This ensures that the label tape 4 can move along the preset trajectory, preventing tape slack or deviation. The labeling plate 5 serves as the support carrier for the label tape 4. Its surface flatness ensures that the middle of the label tape 4 is always taut. The label is peeled off when it passes the end face of the labeling plate 5. The servo motor 81 can precisely control the speed and pressure of the pressure roller 82. When the label tape 4 moves to one side of the labeling plate 5, the pressure roller 82 can peel the label off the tape and press it smoothly onto the surface of the product to be labeled, completing the core labeling action. The cylinder 62 drives the support frame 63 to move up and down, thereby driving the auxiliary pressure roller 65 to press tightly against the surface of the label tape 4, preventing the tape from jumping during transmission. The label measuring photoelectric eye 64 detects the label position on the label tape 4 in real time and can feed back the signal to the control system to ensure that the label is attached in the same position for each label.

[0023] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, an adjustment box 83 is installed on the top surface of the fixed frame 8. A worm gear 86 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment box 83. A worm wheel 87 is driven to one side of the worm gear 86. The worm wheel 87 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment box 83. A connecting plate 84 is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the worm wheel 87. A servo motor 81 is installed on the end face of the connecting plate 84. One end of the worm gear 86 passes through the outer wall of the adjustment box 83 and is fixedly connected to an adjustment wheel 85. Multiple sets of guide rollers 11 are installed on the top surface of the frame 1. The label strip 4 is movably connected to the surface of the guide rollers 11. A transmission box 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the frame 1. A servo motor 12 is installed on the inner wall of the transmission box 13. A belt pulley transmission mechanism 14 is driven between the output shaft end of the servo motor 12 and the shaft end of the take-up wheel 2. A product limiting guide groove 7 is fixedly connected to the front of the frame 1.

[0024] The overall effect of this embodiment is that rotating the adjusting wheel 85 can drive the worm 86 to rotate, and the worm 86 and the worm wheel 87 drive the connecting plate 84 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the servo motor 81 and the label roller 82. This can adapt to product surfaces with different curvatures, greatly improving the equipment's compatibility with labeling irregularly shaped products. Multiple sets of guide rollers 11 are evenly distributed on the transmission path of the label strip 4, which can disperse the strip tension, reduce the friction loss between the strip and the frame 1, and further constrain the strip trajectory to prevent the strip from bending during long-distance transmission. The servo motor 12 is installed in the transmission box 13 and provides stable power to the take-up roller 2 through the belt pulley transmission mechanism 14.

[0025] The device is used and works as follows: The feeding wheel 3, guide roller 11, labeling plate 5, and take-up wheel 2 form the transmission path of the label material, the product limiting guide groove 7 forms the movement path of the product, and the pressure roller 82 and auxiliary pressure roller 65 form a stable labeling execution structure to ensure that the movement trajectory of each mechanical component is fixed and the connection is smooth.

[0026] At the electronic control level: Servo motor 12 and servo motor 81 achieve synchronous speed control via PLC. The PLC is not marked as being built into the equipment to avoid label offset caused by speed mismatch between the material belt and the label roller; the label measuring photoelectric eye 64 acts as a position detection sensor, providing real-time feedback of the label position signal and correcting the start and stop timing of the label roller 82; the cylinder 62 acts as an actuator, controlling the pressure of the auxiliary pressure roller 65 through air pressure to ensure stable material belt transmission.

[0027] Collaborative logic: When the photoelectric sensor 64 detects that the label has reached the designated position, the signal is transmitted to the PLC. The PLC synchronously controls the second servo motor 81 to adjust the pressure of the pressure roller 82, and controls the first servo motor 12 to fine-tune the winding speed, ensuring that the three actions of label peeling, pressing, and product movement are completed at the same time node, ultimately achieving high-speed, accurate and stable automated labeling.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
