[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0022] The water purification treatment equipment of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the beverage production labeling device of this utility model embodiment may include: a support base 1, a conveying component 2, a labeling component 3, an adjusting mechanism 4, and a clamping and cooperating mechanism 5.

[0024] The support base 1 has a base plate 6 at its upper end.

[0025] It is understood that the base plate 6 described in this embodiment is connected to the support base 1 by bolts, providing stable support for the adjustment mechanism 4.

[0026] The conveying component 2 (which is existing technology, and its specific structure and operation will not be described here) is set on the support base 1, and the adhesive component 3 is set on the support base 1 on the side of the conveying component 2; the adhesive component 3 is set on the support base 1 on the side of the conveying component 2; the adjustment mechanism 4 is set on the base plate 6, wherein the adjustment mechanism 4 includes a first electric telescopic rod 401, a guide rod 402 and a concave component 403, wherein the first electric telescopic rod 401 is set on the base plate 6; the guide rod 402 is set on the base plate 6 on the side of the first electric telescopic rod 401, and the bottom end of the guide rod 402 extends through the base plate 6; the concave component 403 is set on the bottom end of the guide rod 402, and the outer wall of the top end of the concave component 403 is connected to the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 401; the clamping and mating mechanism 5 is set inside the concave component 403.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, four guide rods 402 are provided, which are symmetrically distributed around the first electric telescopic rod 401. They provide guidance for the lifting and lowering movement of the concave part 403, and prevent the concave part 403 from tilting or swaying due to uneven force when it is driven by the first electric telescopic rod 401 to lift and lower. This ensures that the concave part 403 and its clamping and cooperating mechanism 5 always move smoothly along the preset vertical direction, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the device operation.

[0028] Specifically, during operation, the conveyor 2 transports the beverage bottles to be labeled along a preset path to the labeling station, and the labeling component 3 located on the side of the conveyor 2 simultaneously releases the label roll, preparing for the labeling operation.

[0029] The adjustment mechanism 4 can drive the concave part 403 to rise and fall according to the height specifications of the beverage bottle by extending and retracting the first electric telescopic rod 401, thereby driving the clamping and cooperating mechanism 5 installed in the concave part 403 to adjust to the working height that is compatible with the bottle body.

[0030] When the beverage bottle arrives at the labeling station, the clamping and cooperating mechanism 5 is activated to form a stable clamp on the bottle and cooperate with the adhesive component 3 to complete the label application.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the adhesive assembly 3 includes a fixed frame 301, an unwinding roller 302, a rewinding roller 303, and multiple tension rollers 304. The fixed frame 301 is mounted on the support base 1. The unwinding roller 302 is located on one side of the upper part of the fixed frame 301 and is used to mount the label roll. The rewinding roller 303 is located on the other side of the upper part of the fixed frame 301 and is arranged horizontally parallel to the unwinding roller 302. It is used to rewind the paper that has been peeled off after labeling. The multiple tension rollers 304 are respectively located inside the fixed frame 301 between the unwinding roller 302 and the rewinding roller 303. They are used to support the label roll and apply stable tension.

[0032] It should be noted that the unwinding roller 302, the take-up roller 303, and the tension roller 304 described in this embodiment are all connected to the fixing frame 301 with bearings, and the shaft ends of the unwinding roller 302 and the take-up roller 303 are all connected to servo motors (not shown in the figure). The fixing frame 301 is provided with a peeling blade (not shown in the figure) for peeling off the label. The peeling blade is a thin sheet metal structure. Since the adhesive force between the label and the backing paper is less than the tension generated when the backing paper is bent, the label will separate from the backing paper under the action of the peeling blade.

[0033] Specifically, the unwinding roller 302 and the take-up roller 303, which are fitted with the label roll, are driven to rotate by a servo motor, so that the tension roller 304 rotates with the roll conveying through the bearing, forming a stable tension on the roll and ensuring that the roll conveying process is flat and wrinkle-free.

[0034] When the roll material reaches the peeling blade of the fixing frame 301, the peeling blade of the thin metal structure causes the roll material to bend at a preset angle. Since the adhesive force between the label and the backing paper is less than the tension generated by the bending of the backing paper, the label separates from the backing paper under the action of the peeling blade. The separated label maintains a flat posture under the action of tension, thus adhering to the surface of the bottle that has passed through that position.

[0035] Driven by a servo motor, the take-up roller 303 rotates synchronously with the unwind roller 302 at a speed that matches that of the unwind roller, and winds up the backing paper after the label has been peeled off at a uniform speed.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping and engaging mechanism 5 includes multiple drive shafts 501, sprockets 502, chains 503, multiple guide components 504, and auxiliary components 505. The multiple drive shafts 501 are arrayed within the concave member 403; the sprockets 502 are respectively sleeved on the outer side wall of the corresponding drive shaft 501, and the sprockets 502 on adjacent drive shafts 501 are connected by a closed chain 503; the multiple guide components 504 are evenly spaced along the outer circumferential surface of the chain 503; and the auxiliary components 505 are disposed on the conveyor member 2.

[0037] It should be noted that the drive shaft 501 and the concave part 403 described in this embodiment are connected by bearings, and one of the drive shafts 501 serves as the active shaft, with one end extending out of the concave part 403 and connected to a motor (not marked in the figure), so that the synchronous operation of the entire chain drive system is achieved by the motor drive.

[0038] Specifically, the drive shaft 501 drives the sprocket 502 to rotate synchronously, so that the chain 503 and the sprocket 502 on the adjacent drive shaft 501 form a meshing transmission, driving the other driven drive shafts 501 to rotate together. As the chain 503 moves cyclically, multiple guide components 504 evenly spaced along its outer circumference are driven synchronously. When the guide component 504 moves with the chain 503 to the position corresponding to the auxiliary component 505 on the conveyor 2, the two cooperate to clamp and position the conveyed beverage bottle. Under the continuous drive of the chain drive system, the guide component 504 drives the bottle to move synchronously and completes the rotation labeling action. After the labeling is completed, it continues to move with the chain 503 to the next station and releases the bottle. Then it returns to the initial position to prepare for the next clamping operation.

[0039] Understandably, the entire clamping and engaging mechanism 5 enables the continuous cyclical movement of the guiding component 504, which works in conjunction with the labeling actions of the conveying component 2 and the labeling component 3 to ensure that the beverage bottle is stably clamped, accurately positioned, and efficiently labeled during the conveying process, without having to wait for a single label to be completed, thus improving labeling efficiency.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide assembly 504 includes a mounting base 5041, a second electric telescopic rod 5042, a movable member 5043, two fixed rods 5044, a drive motor 5045, a clamping member 5046, a connecting rod 5047, and a rack 5048. The mounting base 5041 is disposed on the outer wall of the chain 503, and the second electric telescopic rod 5042 is disposed on the mounting base 5041. The movable member 5043 is disposed on the side of the mounting base 5042 of the second electric telescopic rod 5042. 1. Two fixed rods 5044 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting bases 5041 on both sides of the second electric telescopic rod 5042, and one end of the two fixed rods 5044 extends through the moving part 5043; the drive motor 5045 is arranged at the bottom end of the moving part 5043, and the output end of the drive motor 5045 is connected to the clamping part 5046; the connecting rod 5047 is arranged on the moving part 5043 on the side of the drive motor 5045, and one end of the connecting rod 5047 is connected to the rack 5048.

[0041] Specifically, the mounting base 5041 is fixed on the chain 503 and moves together with the chain 503, thereby driving the entire guide assembly 504 to move to the corresponding position of the beverage bottle to be labeled. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the clamping member 5046 and the beverage bottle, the second electric telescopic rod 5042 is activated, and its output end drives the moving member 5043 to move. Under the guidance of the two fixed rods 5044, the moving member 5043 moves closer to the beverage bottle, thereby causing the clamping member 5046 at the bottom to reach the clamping position. After the clamping member 5046 clamps and fixes the beverage bottle, the drive motor 5045 works, driving the clamping member 5046 and the beverage bottle to rotate, and cooperates with the labeling assembly 3 to complete the labeling operation.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping member 5046 has an L-shaped structure with two gripper structures at its bottom end.

[0043] Understandably, the two grippers formed by the natural bending and extension of the end of the clamping member 5046 can naturally extend to the side of the beverage bottle to be clamped, and to the side area of ​​the beverage bottle to be clamped, to clamp the bottle and ensure the stability of the subsequent rotating labeling process.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary component 505 includes a main shaft 5051, a blade assembly 5052, a drive gear 5053, and a contact plate 5054. The main shaft 5051 is disposed on the outer wall of the conveyor 2; the blade assembly 5052 is disposed on the outer wall of the main shaft 5051; the drive gear 5053 is disposed on the outer wall of the main shaft 5051 above the blade assembly 5052; and the contact plate 5054 is disposed on the side wall of the conveyor 2. The contact plate 5054 and the blade assembly 5052 are respectively disposed on both sides of the adhesive component 3, forming a symmetrical distribution.

[0045] It should be noted that the drive gear 5053 described in this embodiment meshes with the rack 5048.

[0046] Specifically, the blade assembly 5052 can equidistantly separate the beverage bottles on the conveyor 2, ensuring a fixed distance between each pair of adjacent beverage bottles. When the chain 503 drives the clamping member 5046 to move to face the beverage bottle between the blade assembly 5052, the clamping member 5046 will be driven by the second electric telescopic rod 5042 to smoothly approach the beverage bottle along the fixed rod 5044 and clamp and fix it. At the same time, the moving member 5043 will synchronously drive the connecting rod 5047 to move, so that the rack 5048 at the other end of the connecting rod 5047 moves accordingly and meshes with the drive gear 5053 on the main shaft 5051.

[0047] As the chain 503 continues to move, the rack 5048, while traveling with the guide assembly 504, will drive the drive gear 5053 to rotate through meshing transmission, thereby driving the main shaft 5051 to rotate synchronously, causing the circumferential array of blades 5052 to rotate accordingly.

[0048] At this time, the next beverage bottle separated by the blade group 5052 will move to the labeling station under the push of the blade group 5052. At the same time, when the beverage bottle on the clamp 5046 passes the labeling component 3, the label adheres to the bottle body. Further, the drive motor 5045 is started, which drives the clamp 5046 to rotate. The clamp 5046 drives the beverage bottle to rotate, and the contact plate 5054 will form a lateral squeeze on the rotating beverage bottle, so that the label is evenly pressed during the rotation of the bottle body, ensuring that the edge of the label is tightly attached to the surface of the bottle body, and avoiding bubbles, wrinkles or curling.

[0049] Once the label is fully affixed, the drive motor 5045 stops working, and the beverage bottle stops rotating. Under the reverse drive of the second electric telescopic rod 5042, the clamping member 5046 resets along the fixed rod 5044, releasing the labeled beverage bottle and allowing it to be conveyed to the next process by the conveyor 2.

[0050] In summary, through the coordinated operation of the guide component 504 and the auxiliary component 505, the next round of alignment and clamping can be started without waiting for the previous labeling process to be completely finished, reducing the downtime between actions and enabling the labeling operation to form a continuous assembly line operation, which significantly improves the overall labeling efficiency.
