Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling machines, and in particular to an online real-time labeling device with adjustable labeling pressure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing labeling machines have separate label printing and affixing devices. After the label is printed, the labeling head moves to pick it up and then moves again to affix the label to the item. This moving process takes time and affects the labeling speed.

[0003] The same labeling equipment needs to label different types of products, such as hard surfaces like plastic boxes or soft materials like plastic film. Different labeling surfaces require different labeling pressures. Existing labeling devices have a structure that drives the labeling head. If a single cylinder is used, the labeling pressure is not adjustable, and the cylinder must be modified every time a product is changed. If electromagnetic drive is used, the pressure is adjustable but the energy consumption is high. After long-term operation, the electromagnetic part heats up, affecting the accuracy of the output pressure.

[0004] Therefore, the market urgently needs a high-speed labeling device that can adapt to labeling different materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the aforementioned technologies. Therefore, the objective of this invention is to provide a high-speed labeling device with variable labeling pressure.

[0007] The driving component includes a frame and a mounting plate that moves on the frame, the mounting plate having a label printing component and a labeling component;

[0008] The label printing assembly includes a printer platform and a label printer. The label printer is placed on the printer platform and moves simultaneously with the mounting plate and the labeling assembly to print labels for the labeling assembly to use.

[0009] The labeling assembly includes a first telescopic cylinder and a second telescopic cylinder arranged in series. The second telescopic cylinder is mounted on a slider of a sliding pair. The telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder drives the slider to slide, thereby driving the second telescopic cylinder to move. The telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder is provided with a label suction element to pick up the label printed by the label printer. The movement of the first telescopic cylinder and / or the second telescopic cylinder affixes the label to the product.

[0010] The online real-time labeling device with adjustable labeling pressure according to the embodiments of the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0011] 1. The label printer and labeling component move synchronously, reducing the time it takes for the labeling component to pick up the label and improving the overall efficiency of the labeling process;

[0012] 2. The first and second telescopic cylinders are connected in series to achieve adjustable labeling stroke. The speed is fast during long strokes and the labeling force is gentle during short strokes.

[0013] In addition, the online real-time labeling device with adjustable labeling pressure proposed in the above embodiments of this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0014] Optionally, the printer platform is provided with a side plate, which is fixed to the mounting plate. The side plate has an elongated hole, and bolts are used to fix the side plate and the mounting plate.

[0015] Optionally, the first telescopic cylinder and the second telescopic cylinder have different thrusts.

[0016] Optionally, the label suction element includes a negative pressure cylinder with several through holes on one side and a soft rubber on the same side. The soft rubber is fitted with a suction nozzle, which is connected to the through holes of the negative pressure cylinder.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these 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.

[0029] The label printer and labeling component of this utility model move synchronously, reducing the labeling component's label picking time and improving the overall efficiency of the labeling process; the first telescopic cylinder and the second telescopic cylinder are arranged in series to achieve adjustable labeling stroke, which is fast during long stroke and gentler during short stroke.

[0030] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0031] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] Figures 1 to 5 An online real-time labeling device with adjustable labeling pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0033] The drive component 1 includes a frame 11 and a mounting plate 12 that moves on the frame 11. The mounting plate 12 is provided with a label printing component 2 and a labeling component 3.

[0034] This device is installed on the production line conveyor belt, which continuously transports the products to be labeled through the frame 11. The frame 11 is equipped with a track, and the mounting plate 12 is slidably mounted on the track. There is also a drive motor and belt to pull the mounting plate 12 to move back and forth on the track, so as to label the products located at different positions on the conveyor belt.

[0035] The label printing component 2 includes a printer platform 21 and a label printer 22. The label printer 22 is placed on the printer platform 21 and moves simultaneously with the mounting plate 12 and the labeling component 3 to print labels for the labeling component 3 to use.

[0036] Specifically, the printer platform 21 has a side plate, which is fixed to the mounting plate 12. The side plate has elongated holes, and bolts are used to fix it so that the position of the printer platform 21 relative to the mounting plate 12 can be finely adjusted to facilitate the alignment between the labeling assembly 3 and the printer. When the printer is working, it receives content from the host computer.

[0037] The labeling assembly 3 includes a first telescopic cylinder 31 and a second telescopic cylinder 32 arranged in series. The second telescopic cylinder 32 is disposed on the slider of the sliding pair. The telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 31 drives the slider to slide, thereby driving the second telescopic cylinder 32 to move. The telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 32 is provided with a label suction element 4, which picks up the label printed by the label printer 22. The movement of the first telescopic cylinder 31 and / or the second telescopic cylinder 32 affixes the label to the product.

[0038] Specifically, the first telescopic cylinder 31 can be a cylinder with a large stroke and high thrust. When the product is a hard object, the first telescopic cylinder 31 is activated, pressing the second telescopic cylinder 32 with the label along with the label suction element 4 onto the product.

[0039] The label suction element 4 includes a negative pressure cylinder 41. The negative pressure cylinder 41 has several through holes on one side and a soft adhesive 42 on the same side. The soft adhesive 42 is equipped with a suction nozzle, which is connected to the through holes of the negative pressure cylinder 41. When the label is placed under the soft adhesive 42, the negative pressure will suck the label towards the negative pressure cylinder 41. The slight deformation of the soft adhesive 42 can make the label adhere further to the soft adhesive 42, thereby peeling it off from the release paper.

[0040] The first telescopic cylinder 31 and the second telescopic cylinder 32 can use the same air path and operate asynchronously through different solenoid valves. Alternatively, each telescopic cylinder can be equipped with a different air path. For example, an additional air storage tank can be provided in the air path of the second telescopic cylinder 32. The first telescopic cylinder 31 and the second telescopic cylinder 32 can operate separately with a time gap between them. The additional air storage tank in the air path of the second telescopic cylinder 32 can store a portion of compressed gas. Compared with the two telescopic cylinders being directly connected to the same air path, this can reduce the load demand of the air compressor during operation, thereby achieving energy-saving effects.
