Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of labeling machines, and in particular to an intelligent labeling machine for beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, intelligent labeling machines, as one of the most technologically advanced equipment in the downstream packaging process, are widely used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Intelligent labeling machines automatically cut and accurately insert cylindrical labels, and in conjunction with the subsequent heat shrink process, securely fix the labels onto cylindrical containers. Intelligent labeling machines have excellent high-speed stability, unique and ingenious design, and a safe mode that harmonizes human and machine operation.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN207174199U, a beverage labeling machine designed to solve the technical problems of complex structure and uneven label unfolding in existing labeling machines. It includes a label tray, a label conveying device, a label unfolding device, and a beverage bottle conveying device. The label conveying device includes roller I, roller II, roller III, a stretching roller, parallel roller I, and parallel roller II. The label unfolding device includes a through rod, flattening roller group I, flattening roller group II, a cutter, a pull-down roller group, and a motor. The beverage bottle conveying device includes a conveyor belt, a power unit, and sensors. All components of the beverage bottle conveying device are mounted on the machine casing.

[0004] The labeling machines in the above cases transport beverages via conveyor belts. These conveyor belts are mostly fixed structures and lack targeted guiding and positioning designs. When beverage bottles, especially PET and glass bottles, are transported at high speeds, they are prone to shifting or tilting due to conveyor belt vibration, slight differences in bottle shape, or smooth bottle surfaces. This results in misaligned label placement, requiring subsequent manual correction and increasing production costs. Furthermore, the height of beverage bottles varies significantly across different sizes. Existing labeling machines often use manual mechanical adjustment of the conveyor belt height, requiring the machine to be stopped and the adjusting bolts tightened with wrenches or other tools, reducing operational flexibility. Therefore, we offer an intelligent labeling machine for beverage production. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] This application discloses an intelligent labeling machine for beverage production. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a labeling machine body 1, a control panel mounted on the front of the labeling machine body 1, a base 100 located below the labeling machine body 1, and a movable conveyor belt support 101 mounted on the top of the base 100. The left and right sides of the labeling machine body 1 are connected to the top of the base 100 via support frames 5, which are fixedly connected to the base 100 by welding. A conveyor belt body 6 is driven by a motor on the conveyor belt support 101. The conveyor belt body 6 is used to transport beverage bottles from front to back, moving them to the bottom of the labeling machine body 1 for labeling. The working principle of the labeling machine body 1 is already publicly available technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5The base 100 and the conveyor belt support 101 are connected by a drive adjustment assembly 2. The drive adjustment assembly 2 is used to adjust the height of the conveyor belt support 101. The drive adjustment assembly 2 includes two fixed housings 21, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the top of the base 100. A servo motor 22 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed housing 21. The servo motor 22 is a forward and reverse motor with a self-locking function. The two servo motors 22 are controlled by a control panel to ensure that the conveyor belt support 101 can move up and down stably. The conveyor belt support 101 is close to the fixed housing 2. One side of the servo motor 22 slides in contact with the fixed housing 21, which further guides the conveyor belt support 101 when it moves up and down. The top of the output shaft of the servo motor 22 is equipped with a threaded rod 23. The surface of the threaded rod 23 is threadedly connected to a threaded block 24. The surface of the threaded block 24 slides in contact with the inner wall of the fixed housing 21. The side of the threaded block 24 near the conveyor belt support 101 penetrates the fixed housing 21 and extends to its outside. The side of the threaded block 24 near the conveyor belt support 101 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt support 101. The threaded block 24 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt support 101 by welding.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 A positioning guide assembly 3 is provided on the conveyor belt support 101. The positioning guide assembly 3 is used to position and guide the beverage bottles during conveying. The positioning guide assembly 3 includes two connecting plates 31, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt support 101. The side of the connecting plate 31 closest to the conveyor belt support 101 is in contact with the conveyor belt support 101. An electric push rod 32 is installed on the connecting plate 31. A guide plate 33 is installed on the output end of the electric push rod 32. The electric push rod 32 can drive the guide plate 33 to move left and right, and at the same time change the distance between the two guide plates 33, so as to facilitate the use of beverage bottles of different sizes and ensure the stability of the beverage bottles during movement. The guide plate 33 is far away from the guide plate 33. Several guide rollers 34 are rotatably connected in the groove on one side of the electric push rod 32. By setting the guide rollers 34, the friction when in contact with the beverage bottle is reduced, and the sliding friction is changed to rolling friction, which improves the smoothness of the beverage bottle's movement. Two guide posts 35 are installed on the side of the guide plate 33 near the connecting plate 31. The end of the guide post 35 near the connecting plate 31 passes through the connecting plate 31 and extends to its outside. By setting the guide posts 35, the stability of the guide plate 33 when moving left and right is ensured, and the phenomenon of deviation of the guide plate 33 when moving left and right is avoided, so as to avoid damage to the electric push rod 32 caused by deviation. The motor, servo motor 22 and electric push rod 32 on the conveyor belt body 6 are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The positioning guide assembly 3 is connected to the conveyor belt bracket 101 via the limiting and fixing assembly 4. The limiting and fixing assembly 4 includes a top block 41 and an insert block 42. There are two top blocks 41, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt bracket 101. There are two insert blocks 42, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt bracket 101. A slot 43 is provided on the front side of the connecting plate 31, near the side of the insert block 42. The side of the insert block 42 near the slot 43 penetrates the slot 43 and extends into it, contacting the inner wall of the slot 43. The top block 41... The bottom is provided with a fastening bolt 44 that is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 31. By setting the fastening bolt 44, the stability of the insert 42 inserted into the slot 43 is further improved, which has the effect of locking the position of the connecting plate 31. By setting the insert 42 and the slot 43, the stability of the connecting plate 31 when connected to the conveyor belt bracket 101 is ensured. Loosen the fastening bolt 44 and then pull the connecting plate 31 backward. The connecting plate 31 drives the slot 43 to move backward and separate from the insert 42, so that the positioning guide assembly 3 can be disassembled.

[0026] During use, adjust the height and diameter of the beverage bottle to be labeled according to the height and diameter of the bottle. Start the servo motor 22. After receiving the signal, the servo motor 22 drives the threaded rod 23 to rotate, which drives the threaded block 24 and the conveyor belt bracket 101 to rise and fall until the height of the conveyor belt body 6 is aligned with the labeling station of the labeling machine body 1. The servo motor 22 locks itself in place. Start the electric push rod 32. The electric push rod 32 pushes the guide plate 33 to move relative to each other, so that the distance between the guide rollers 34 on both sides is slightly larger than the bottle diameter, such as 62mm. The guide column 35 moves synchronously with the guide plate 33 to ensure that the movement trajectory is straight.

[0027] The beverage bottles to be labeled are neatly placed at the front end of the conveyor belt body 6. The conveyor belt motor is started, and the beverage bottles are conveyed backward with the conveyor belt. When they enter the positioning guide component 3 area, the guide rollers 34 on both sides roll and contact the bottle body, limiting the left and right deviation of the bottle body and ensuring that it enters the labeling machine body 1 in a straight line. The labeling machine body 1 completes the label cutting and labeling action according to the preset program, and the label is accurately placed on the preset position of the bottle body.

[0028] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
