Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling machine technology, and in particular to a conveyor track for a labeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the detergent manufacturing industry, labeling is one of the key steps in product packaging. However, due to the diverse shapes of detergent bottles, especially with the widespread use of irregularly shaped bottles, the conveyor tracks of existing labeling machines are usually designed with a fixed shape. This makes it impossible to flexibly adjust the tracks according to the shape and size of the bottles, leading to easy positional shifts during transport. This positional shift directly affects the labeling effect, making it impossible to accurately place the label in the intended position, and may even result in labels that are crooked, wrinkled, or partially misaligned. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem that existing labeling machines typically use a fixed conveyor track design, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of the bottles, this utility model provides a conveyor track for a labeling machine.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An embodiment of this utility model provides a conveyor track for a labeling machine, comprising:

[0006] The first track is used to transport items to be labeled.

[0007] The second track is capable of moving vertically and is located above the first track;

[0008] Two third tracks are respectively arranged on both sides of the first track. Each third track includes a first conveyor belt and an adjustment device for adjusting the position of the first conveyor belt. The adjustment device includes a rotatable adjustment wheel and a first moving device for driving the adjustment wheel to move. The two first moving devices can respectively drive the two first conveyor belts to move closer to each other or further away from each other. The first track, the second track and the two third tracks together define a moving space for the object to be labeled to move.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adjusting wheel is disposed on the inner side of the first conveyor belt.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first moving device includes a connecting rod and a first driving component for driving the connecting rod to rotate, and the adjusting wheel is rotatably connected to the connecting rod.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the third track further includes a tensioning device for adjusting the tension of the first conveyor belt.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the third track further includes a first guide rail for positioning the first conveyor belt, the first guide rail includes a limiting part, and the tensioning device includes a tensioning block disposed on the limiting part, the tensioning block abutting against the first conveyor belt.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting part is provided with an installation groove, and the tensioning block is connected to the installation groove.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first conveyor belt is a chain structure, and the adjusting wheel is a gear that meshes with the first conveyor belt.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the conveying track of a labeling machine further includes a moving device for driving the second track to move in a vertical direction. The moving device includes a vertical slide rail, a vertical slider and a second driving component. The vertical slider is slidably connected to the vertical slide rail.

[0022] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0025] An embodiment of this utility model provides a conveyor track for a labeling machine, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes:

[0026] The first track 100 is used to transport items to be labeled.

[0027] The second track 200 can move vertically and is located above the first track 100.

[0028] Two third tracks 300 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first track 100. Each third track 300 includes a first conveyor belt 310 and an adjustment device 320 for adjusting the position of the first conveyor belt 310. The adjustment device 320 includes a rotatable adjustment wheel 321 and a first moving device 322 for driving the adjustment wheel 321 to move. The two first moving devices 322 can respectively drive the two first conveyor belts 310 to move closer to each other or further away from each other. The first track 100, the second track 200 and the two third tracks 300 together define a moving space 400 for the object to be labeled to move.

[0029] The first track 100 is used to transport items to be labeled. It is responsible for transporting the items to be labeled from one position to another. The second track 200 can move vertically. This means that the second track 200 can adjust its height as needed to accommodate items to be labeled at different heights, or to adjust the position of the items during the labeling process. Two third tracks 300 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first track 100. Each third track 300 includes a first conveyor belt 310 and an adjusting device 320. The first conveyor belt 310 positions and transports the items to be labeled. The adjusting device 320 is used to adjust the position of the first conveyor belt 310. The adjusting device 320 includes an adjusting wheel 321 and a first moving device 322. The rotatable adjusting wheel 321 is used to change the tension or position of the conveyor belt. The first moving device 322 is used to drive the adjusting wheel 321 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the conveyor belt. The two first moving devices 322 can respectively drive the two first conveyor belts 310 closer to or further apart from each other. The first track 100 serves as the main conveying channel, ensuring that the items to be labeled can pass stably through the conveying system. The second track 200, through vertical movement, can adjust the height of the conveying system to accommodate items of different sizes or to position items during the labeling process. The third track 300, via an adjusting device 320, can adjust the position of the first conveyor belt 310, thereby changing the spacing between the conveyor belts. This design can accommodate items of different widths, ensuring that items are stably clamped and conveyed during transport. Through the vertical movement of the second track 200 and the adjusting device 320 of the third track 300, this conveying track can adapt to items of different sizes, offering high flexibility. The coordinated action of multiple tracks ensures the stability of the items to be labeled during transport, reducing labeling failures caused by item swaying or offset.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] When an item to be labeled (such as a detergent bottle) enters the conveyor track, it is initially conveyed by the first track 100. The first track 100 serves as the main conveyor channel, providing a stable horizontal conveying path for the item and ensuring that the item can smoothly enter the labeling area.

[0032] Meanwhile, the second track 200 is vertically adjusted according to the height requirements of the object to be labeled. The lifting and lowering of the second track 200 is controlled by a drive device (such as a cylinder, electric push rod, or other lifting mechanism) to adapt to objects of different heights, thereby ensuring that the object is always at a suitable height during the transportation process, providing convenience for the labeling operation.

[0033] Two third tracks 300 are respectively set on both sides of the first track 100, serving as auxiliary conveyors and positioning devices. The first conveyor belt 310 of the third track 300, driven by the adjusting device 320, can be adjusted in position according to the shape and size of the object to be labeled. The rotatable adjusting wheel 321 in the adjusting device 320, driven by the first moving device 322 (such as a motor-driven screw mechanism, cylinder, etc.), can move the two first conveyor belts 310 closer together or further apart. When the object to be labeled is an irregularly shaped bottle, by adjusting the position of the first conveyor belt 310, it can be made to fit tightly against the side of the bottle, thereby effectively clamping and positioning the bottle and preventing it from shifting or shaking during transport.

[0034] After the third track 300 adjusts the horizontal position of the object to be labeled, the first track 100 and the second track 200 drive the object to be labeled to carry out the next labeling task.

[0035] The first track 100, the second track 200, and the two third tracks 300 together define a movement space 400 for the objects to be labeled. Within this space, the objects to be labeled are stably transported and positioned to ensure that they maintain an accurate posture when entering the labeling area, so that the labels can be accurately affixed to the predetermined positions.

[0036] Through the coordinated operation of the above-mentioned tracks, the conveying track of this utility model can effectively solve the problems of inaccurate positioning and insufficient adjustment capability when labeling irregularly shaped bottles in the prior art, significantly improve labeling accuracy and production efficiency, and meet the needs of the detergent production industry for labeling irregularly shaped bottles.

[0037] In some embodiments, the adjusting wheel 321 is disposed on the inner side of the first conveyor belt 310.

[0038] The adjusting wheel 321 is located inside the first conveyor belt 310, allowing direct contact with the conveyor belt. The position of the conveyor belt is changed via the adjusting wheel 321. This design makes the adjustment process more direct and efficient. Positioning the adjusting wheel 321 inside the conveyor belt reduces the overall width of the conveyor track, saving space, which is especially suitable for production lines with limited space. The inner position of the adjusting wheel 321 provides more stable support to the conveyor belt, reducing potential swaying or deviation during operation, thereby improving conveying stability.

[0039] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] When the position of the conveyor belt needs to be adjusted, the first moving device 322 drives the adjusting wheel 321 to move. The spacing between the first conveyor belts 310 of the two third tracks 300 can be adjusted. This adjustment can be flexibly varied according to the width of the object to be labeled, ensuring that the object can be stably clamped and conveyed. The inner design of the adjusting wheel 321 makes the adjustment of the first conveyor belt 310 more flexible, and works together with the first track 100 and the second track 200 to ensure that the object to be labeled remains stable during conveying.

[0041] Furthermore, the first moving device 322 includes a connecting rod 323 and a first driving component 324 for driving the connecting rod 323 to rotate, and the adjusting wheel 321 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 323.

[0042] Linkage 323 connects adjusting wheel 321 and first drive component 324. It serves both transmission and support functions, ensuring that adjusting wheel 321 can move in a predetermined manner. First drive component 324 drives linkage 323 to rotate. It can be a motor, cylinder, or other drive device, providing power to move linkage 323, thereby adjusting the position of adjusting wheel 321. Adjusting wheel 321 is rotatably connected to linkage 323. This connection allows adjusting wheel 321 to rotate flexibly, and its position can be changed by the movement of linkage 323. This design allows the conveyor track to quickly adapt to objects of different sizes to be labeled, providing high flexibility.

[0043] In some embodiments, the third track 300 further includes a tensioning device 330 for adjusting the tension of the first conveyor belt 310.

[0044] The main function of the tensioning device 330 is to adjust the tension of the first conveyor belt 310, enabling the adjusting device 320 to adjust the position of the first conveyor belt 310. The adjusting wheel 321 is mainly used to adjust the position of the conveyor belt, while the tensioning device 330 is used to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt. Working together, they ensure that the conveyor belt maintains both proper position and appropriate tension during operation. The tensioning device 330 ensures that the conveyor belt always maintains appropriate tension, reducing the possibility of slippage or deviation during operation. The tensioning device 330 can flexibly adjust the tension of the conveyor belt according to different working conditions and the size of the objects to be labeled, further improving the adaptability of the conveyor track.

[0045] Furthermore, the third track 300 also includes a first guide rail 340 for positioning the first conveyor belt 310. The first guide rail 340 includes a limiting part 341, and the tensioning device 330 includes a tensioning block 331 disposed on the limiting part 341, the tensioning block 331 abutting against the first conveyor belt 310.

[0046] The first guide rail 340 provides positioning and guidance for the first conveyor belt 310, ensuring that the conveyor belt remains stable and does not deviate from the track during operation. The limiting part 341 of the first guide rail 340 restricts the lateral movement of the conveyor belt, facilitating adjustment of the conveyor belt's position. The limiting part 341 is disposed on the first guide rail 340 to restrict the lateral movement of the conveyor belt, ensuring that the conveyor belt runs within the predetermined track. A tensioning block 331 is disposed on the limiting part 341 and adjusts the tension of the first conveyor belt 310 by abutting against it. The tensioning block 331 can be movable, and its position can be adjusted manually or automatically to change the tension of the conveyor belt.

[0047] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0048] The first conveyor belt 310 runs under the guidance of the first guide rail 340. The limiting part 341 restricts the lateral movement of the conveyor belt, ensuring that the conveyor belt runs stably within the predetermined track. The tension block 331 abuts against the first conveyor belt 310. The tension of the conveyor belt can be changed by manually or automatically adjusting the position of the tension block 331. For example, the operator can adjust the tension of the conveyor belt by moving the tension block 331 using a manual device (such as a screw). The limiting part 341 of the first guide rail 340 and the tension block 331 of the tensioning device 330 work together to ensure that the conveyor belt maintains appropriate tension during operation without deviating from the track.

[0049] Furthermore, the limiting part 341 is provided with a mounting groove 342, and the tensioning block 331 is connected to the mounting groove 342.

[0050] The mounting groove 342 provides a fixed mounting position for the tension block 331 while allowing the tension block 331 to move within a certain range. Through the mounting groove 342, the tension block 331 can more stably abut against the first conveyor belt 310 and its position can be adjusted as needed. In some embodiments, the tension block 331 can be fixed in the mounting groove 342 with screws. The shape and size of the mounting groove 342 match the tension block 331, ensuring that the tension block 331 can be stably mounted on the limiting portion 341. Through its connection with the mounting groove 342, the tension block 331 can be fixed on the limiting portion 341 and can move within the mounting groove 342 as needed, thereby adjusting its contact position and pressure with the first conveyor belt 310.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first conveyor belt 310 is a chain structure, and the adjusting wheel 321 is a gear that meshes with the first conveyor belt 310.

[0052] The first conveyor belt 310 adopts a chain structure. The meshing transmission between the chain and gears provides a high-precision transmission ratio, ensuring smoother and more accurate operation of the conveyor belt. The adjusting wheel 321 adopts a gear design and meshes with the chain-structured first conveyor belt 310. The meshing transmission between the gear and chain can precisely adjust the tension and position of the conveyor belt, ensuring that the conveyor belt maintains appropriate tension during operation. The meshing transmission between the gear and chain reduces slippage and improves the operational stability of the conveyor belt. Gear transmission has high efficiency, effectively reducing energy loss and improving the overall efficiency of the system.

[0053] In some embodiments, the conveying track of a labeling machine further includes a moving device 500 for driving the second track 200 to move vertically. The moving device 500 includes a vertical slide rail 510, a vertical slider 520 and a second driving component 530. The vertical slider 520 is slidably connected to the vertical slide rail 510. The second driving component 530 is connected to the vertical slider 520 and is used to drive the vertical slider 520 to slide along the vertical slide rail 510. The second track 200 is disposed on the vertical slider 520.

[0054] The vertical slider 520 is used to guide the movement of the vertical slider 520, ensuring smooth vertical movement. The vertical slider 520 is slidably connected to the vertical slide rail 510, supporting the second track 200 and moving along it. The second drive component 530 is connected to the vertical slider 520, providing power to drive the vertical slider 520 to slide along the vertical slide rail 510. The second drive component 530 can be a motor, cylinder, or other drive device. Through the moving device 500, the height of the second track 200 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the object to be labeled, improving the adaptability of the equipment. The second drive component 530 can achieve precise height adjustment, ensuring that the second track 200 can be accurately positioned at the required height. The design of the vertical slide rail 510 and the vertical slider 520 ensures the stability of the second track 200 during movement, reducing wobbling and offset.

[0055] In some embodiments, the conveying direction of the second track 200 is the same as that of the first track 100, and the conveying direction of the third track 300 is the same as that of the first track 100.

[0056] The first track 100, the second track 200, and the third track 300 all have the same conveying direction, ensuring that the entire conveying system can work together. The items to be labeled will not shift or jam during transport due to inconsistent conveying directions. This consistent conveying direction reduces friction and resistance during transport, improving the smoothness and efficiency of the process.

[0057] The terms and words used in the foregoing description and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
