A book packaging and labeling device with barcode scanning function

Abstract

This utility model discloses a book packaging and labeling device with barcode scanning function, relating to the field of labeling technology. It includes: a conveying mechanism comprising a support component and a conveying component mounted on the support component; and a scanner fixedly mounted on the support component for scanning book information. When the labeled portion of the book enters below the smoothing component, the label first contacts the bottom surface of the smoothing plate. Under the pushing force of the book, the smoothing plate overcomes the resistance of the torsion spring, causing the rotating shaft to rotate. The smoothing plate slightly lifts, and the pressure provided by the torsion spring allows the smoothing plate to press the label with gentle, adaptive pressure, flattening the label, eliminating air bubbles, and ensuring a firm and flat adhesion. Its pressure is gentle and can adaptively adjust the angle according to the real-time thickness of the book, providing the best and safest smoothing effect for books of various thicknesses and conditions, protecting the books from damage.

Description

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of labeling technology, specifically a book packaging and labeling device with barcode scanning function. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as book publishing, library management, book warehousing, and logistics distribution, labeling books is frequently required. These labels typically contain barcodes, collection information, classification numbers, or logistics documents, serving as important carriers for book information management and circulation tracking.

[0003] Existing book packaging and labeling equipment often uses rigid pressure rollers or fixed-angle pressure plates for their labeling mechanisms. While these mechanisms are simple, they have significant limitations when dealing with complex situations involving books of varying thicknesses and textures. These rigid pressure rollers cannot adapt to the changing characteristics of books, resulting in labels that are not firmly attached, easily peeling off at the edges, leaving air bubbles, and affecting the flatness and adhesion of the labels, making it difficult to meet the requirements for high-quality labeling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a book packaging and labeling device with barcode scanning function, in order to solve the problem that the labeling mechanism of existing book packaging and labeling devices mostly uses rigid pressure rollers or fixed angle pressure plates, which cannot adapt to the changing characteristics of books, resulting in labels not sticking firmly, and problems such as edge lifting and air bubbles, which affect the flatness and firmness of the labels and make it difficult to meet the requirements of high-quality labeling.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a book packaging and labeling device with barcode scanning function, comprising:

[0006] A conveying mechanism, including a support assembly and a conveying assembly mounted on the support assembly;

[0007] The scanner, fixedly mounted on the support assembly, is used to scan book information;

[0008] The labeling mechanism includes a labeling component and a smoothing component mounted on the support component. The labeling component is used to attach a label to a book, and the smoothing component is located downstream of the labeling component to smooth the label attached to the book.

[0009] The labeling component includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to a support component. A flat plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. Limiting rings are also fixedly connected to both sides of the flat plate on the rotating shaft. A torsion spring is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the support component, and the other end is connected to the limiting ring.

[0010] Preferably, the support assembly includes a support platform, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support platform, a guide groove is provided on the support platform, the outlet end of the support platform is configured as a downward curved surface, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the end of the support platform near the outlet.

[0011] Preferably, the scanner is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the support platform.

[0012] Preferably, the labeling assembly includes a support plate fixedly connected to a support platform, a vertical rod fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a slider that can slide and be locked to the vertical rod by bolts on the vertical rod, a crossbar that is laterally slidably connected to the slider, the crossbar being locked to the slider by bolts, a labeling machine fixedly mounted on the crossbar, and the peeling plate of the labeling machine being close to the flat plate.

[0013] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes a motor and a ball screw. The motor is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and a pulley is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The ball screw is rotatably connected to the mounting plate through a bearing, and a pulley is fixedly connected to one end of the ball screw. A belt is fitted around the outside of both pulleys.

[0014] Preferably, one end of the ball screw is externally threaded to a sliding plate, and the other end of the sliding plate passes through a guide groove and is fixedly connected to a push plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. When the book moves to the bottom of the labeling component, the labeling component performs the labeling action, peeling the label from the backing paper and placing it on the spine of the book. As the book continues to be pushed, the labeled part enters the bottom of the smoothing component. The label first contacts the bottom surface of the smoothing plate. Under the pushing force of the book, the smoothing plate overcomes the resistance of the torsion spring and drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The smoothing plate is slightly raised, and the pressure provided by the torsion spring makes the smoothing plate press the label with a gentle and adaptive pressure, flattening the label, eliminating air bubbles, and ensuring that the label is firmly and evenly pasted. Its pressure is gentle and can adaptively adjust the angle according to the real-time thickness of the book, providing the best and safest smoothing effect for books of various thicknesses and conditions, protecting the book from damage.

[0017] 2. This utility model starts the motor, which drives the first pulley to rotate. Through belt transmission, the second pulley and the ball screw rotate. The threaded sliding plate drives the push plate to move forward, pushing the book to slide on the support platform, thus realizing the smooth transport of the book, ensuring that the transport process is not jammed, and improving the transport efficiency and stability.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown:

[0027] Example 1: This utility model provides a book packaging and labeling device with barcode scanning function, comprising:

[0028] The conveying mechanism 1 includes a support assembly 11 and a conveying assembly 12 mounted on the support assembly 11;

[0029] Scanner 2 is fixedly mounted on support assembly 11 and is used to scan book information;

[0030] The labeling mechanism 3 includes a labeling component 31 and a smoothing component 32 mounted on the support component 11. The labeling component 31 is used to attach a label to a book, and the smoothing component 32 is located downstream of the labeling component 31 and is used to smooth the label attached to the book.

[0031] The labeling component 31 includes a rotating shaft 321 rotatably connected to the support component 11. A flat plate 322 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 321. Limiting rings 323 are also fixedly connected to both sides of the flat plate 322 on the rotating shaft 321. A torsion spring 324 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 321. One end of the torsion spring 324 is connected to the support component 11, and the other end is connected to the limiting ring 323.

[0032] First, the staff places the books to be processed sequentially at the starting end of the support component 11, controls the conveyor component 12 to work, and pushes the books to move. When passing the scanner 2, the book barcode is scanned, entered into the system database, and information binding is completed. When the book moves to the bottom of the labeling component 31, the labeling component 31 performs the labeling action, peeling the label from the backing paper and placing it on the spine of the book. Continuing to push, the labeled part enters the bottom of the smoothing component 32. The label first contacts the bottom surface of the smoothing plate 322. Under the pushing force of the book, the smoothing plate 322 overcomes the resistance of the torsion spring 324, driving the rotating shaft 321 to rotate. The smoothing plate 322 is slightly raised, and the pressure provided by the torsion spring 324 makes the smoothing plate 322 press the label with a gentle and adaptive pressure, flattening the label, eliminating air bubbles, and ensuring that the label is firmly and flat. Its pressure is gentle and can adaptively adjust the angle according to the real-time thickness of the book, providing the best and safest smoothing effect for books of various thicknesses and conditions, protecting the books from damage.

[0033] 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, the support component 11 includes a support platform 111, a mounting plate 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support platform 111, a guide groove 113 is provided on the support platform 111, the outlet end of the support platform 111 is set as a downward curved surface, and a rotating shaft 321 is rotatably connected to the end of the support platform 111 near the outlet.

[0034] Among them, the support platform 111 serves as the base and working plane of the entire equipment, the guide chute 113 guides the books to move, and the curved surface design at the outlet end plays a guiding and transitioning role, enabling the books to smoothly change their direction of movement and slide into the collection area. The rotating shaft 321 is installed at the outlet end, making the smoothing action the last process before the books leave the equipment.

[0035] 2. In one embodiment of the present invention, the scanner 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the support platform 111.

[0036] The scanner 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the support platform. Its position ensures that when the book is pushed under it, the barcode is exactly within the effective field of view of the scanner, so that it can be successfully read.

[0037] 3. In one embodiment of the present invention, the labeling assembly 31 includes a support plate 311 fixedly connected to the support platform 111. A vertical rod 312 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 311. A slider 313 is slidably mounted on the vertical rod 312 and can be locked and fixed to the vertical rod 312 by bolts. A horizontal rod 314 is slidably connected to the slider 313. The horizontal rod 314 is locked and fixed to the slider 313 by bolts. A labeling machine 315 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal rod 314. The peeling plate of the labeling machine 315 is close to the flat plate 322.

[0038] The vertical bar 312 and the slider 313 work together to achieve height adjustment, while the horizontal bar 314 and the slider 313 work together to achieve front and rear adjustment. Through the bolt locking mechanism, the entire labeling machine 315 can be fixed in any position as needed, so that the peeling plate of the labeling machine 315 is in the optimal labeling position, adapting to books of different thicknesses and improving labeling accuracy and efficiency.

[0039] Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that the conveying assembly 12 includes a motor 121 and a ball screw 122. The motor 121 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 112. A pulley 1 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 121. The ball screw 122 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 112 through a bearing. A pulley 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the ball screw 122. A belt 123 is fitted on the outside of both pulley 1 and pulley 2.

[0040] 1. In one embodiment of the present invention, the ball screw 122 is externally threaded to one end of the slide plate 124, and the other end of the slide plate 124 passes through the guide groove 113 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 125.

[0041] By starting the motor 121, the motor 121 drives the first pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley and the ball screw 122 to rotate through the belt 123. The threaded sliding plate 124 drives the push plate 125 to move forward, pushing the book to slide on the support platform 111, thus achieving smooth book transportation, ensuring that the transportation process is not interrupted, and improving transportation efficiency and stability.

[0042] Application Process: Place the books to be processed neatly at the starting end of the support platform 111 of the equipment. Adjust the position of the labeling machine 315 according to the thickness and height of the books. Loosen the fixing bolts of the slider 313, slide the slider 313 up and down along the vertical rod 312 to the appropriate height, and then lock it. Next, loosen the fixing bolts of the horizontal rod 314, slide the horizontal rod 314 laterally, and lock the peeling plate of the labeling machine 315 in the ideal label dispensing position. In this way, the labeling machine 315 can affix the label to the designated position on the book. Start the motor 121, whose output end drives the first pulley to rotate. The first pulley, through the belt 123, drives the second pulley and the ball screw 122 to rotate. The sliding plate 124, threadedly connected to the ball screw 122, moves forward, pushing the push plate 125 forward. The push plate 125 smoothly pushes the book forward on the support platform 111, ensuring the book... The books proceed in an orderly fashion to the next processing stage. When a book passes the scanner 2 on one side of the top of the support platform 111, the scanner 2 scans the book's barcode, quickly and accurately entering the book's information, such as ISBN, title, price, and destination, into the system database, completing the information binding. This step provides accurate data support for subsequent book management and tracking. As the book continues to move forward, when it reaches the labeling machine 315, the labeling machine 315 starts working. It peels the pre-printed label, usually a self-adhesive sticker, from the backing paper and places it on the spine of the book. The labeled part of the book then enters the smoothing component 32. The label first contacts the bottom surface of the smoothing plate 322. Under the thrust of the book moving forward, the smoothing plate 322 overcomes the resistance of the torsion spring 324, causing the rotating shaft 321 to rotate together and lift slightly upward at an angle. This design ensures that the smoothing plate 322 maintains a gentle, adaptive pressure on the label surface, effectively eliminating air bubbles between the label and the book spine. This guarantees a firm, smooth, and wrinkle-free adhesion. The rotating smoothing plate 322, using a torsion spring 324 to provide pressure, offers gentle pressure and adaptively adjusts its angle according to the book's real-time thickness. This provides optimal and safest smoothing for books of various thicknesses and conditions, protecting them from damage. After smoothing, the book is smoothly slid out along the downward-curving surface at the end of the support platform 111, pushed by the pusher plate 125, and falls into the collection box or packaging area below, completing the entire book packaging and labeling process. The pusher plate 125 then resets under the reverse drive of the motor 121, ready for the next round of book processing, ensuring continuous and efficient operation of the equipment.

[0043] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
