Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic packaging technology, specifically a labeling mechanism for automatic packaging lines. Background Technology

[0002] After the products are packaged in cartons, they need to be labeled by a labeling agency. Labels are set to indicate the product name, model, specifications, ingredients / materials, production date, shelf life, etc., to help consumers quickly understand the product attributes and facilitate subsequent traceability.

[0003] In the current equipment, the label tape is transferred by a robotic arm, and the labels are adjusted in real time. The monitoring sensors can only detect the presence or absence of labels and automatically stop the machine to remind the user to replace them. During the label transfer process, external friction, transmission tension, and other factors can cause the label transfer tape to shift, making it easy for the subsequent labels to be pasted in the wrong position. This increases the rejection rate and reduces processing efficiency, and optimization and improvement are needed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed at the rear top of the support frame 1, and a vision sensor 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 4. The vision sensor 6 is used to monitor the transmission position of the label tape and to monitor the presence or absence of the label tape.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a telescopic rod 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 4, and a label placement rack 5 is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic rod 9. A rubber pad 10 is connected to the bottom rear side of the label placement rack 5.

The release paper rewinding frame 7 is used to collect the release paper after the labels are torn off, and the guide roller 8 conveys the labels.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, rollers 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer side of the label placement rack 5. The adjustment frame 12 is located on the outer side of the rollers 11. The label placement rack 5 is connected to the adjustment frame 12 through the rollers 11 to reduce the friction during movement.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, an elastic connector 14 is connected to the outer side of the guide rod 13. The elastic connector 14 is fixedly connected to the adjustment frame 12. The guide rod 13 is slidably connected to the inner side of the adjustment frame 12 for guiding adjustment, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of transmission adjustment.

[0031] The label holder 5 is equipped with a guide and limit assembly at its front end. The guide and limit assembly includes a support block 15, a roller assembly 16 connected to the inner side of the support block 15, and a side baffle 17 connected to one side of the support block 15. The guide and limit assembly is used to limit the transmission of the label tape.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support block 15 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front side of the label holder 5, and an elastic connecting rod 18 is slidably connected to the inner side of the support block 15.
