Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of label cutting, and in particular to a label cutting limiting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the application of label cutting equipment, it is often necessary to cut label tape into rolls of different sizes according to actual usage requirements. During this process, the label tape between the take-up and untake-up rollers needs to be cut. The stability of the take-up and untake-up rollers directly affects the cutting accuracy and material utilization. When traditional cylindrical take-up and untake-up rollers are running at high speed, the material is prone to lateral deviation (serpentine movement) due to uneven tension or inertia, resulting in problems such as cutting position deviation and rough edges. In severe cases, it can even cause material waste and equipment downtime for adjustment. In the existing technology, although mechanical baffles or photoelectric sensors are used for limiting, mechanical baffles are prone to damaging materials and cannot be dynamically adjusted. Photoelectric correction systems have low recognition rate for transparent / reflective materials and have a response delay. Especially during the unwinding and rewinding process, traditional rollers have difficulty automatically guiding the material to the center, resulting in unstable label tape position during cutting and affecting cutting quality.

[0003] Therefore, a label cutting and limiting mechanism was designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a label cutting limiting mechanism. It solves the problems that traditional cylindrical take-up and untake-up rollers can easily cause material deviation during label cutting, resulting in inaccurate cutting and rough edges. Existing mechanical baffles can easily damage materials and are not conducive to stable cutting.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A label cutting limiting mechanism includes a work box, a control box and a worktable fixedly installed on the top of the work box, a cutting knife installed on the top of the worktable for cutting label tape, and two winding rollers located on both sides of the worktable, the two winding rollers being used for unwinding and rewinding the label tape respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the two limiting rollers are symmetrically shaped conical truncated cones, and the axial cross section of the winding roller is bow-shaped, with the cone angle α of the limiting roller being 15°-25°.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the central roller is provided with two symmetrical axial grooves, and the outer wall of the adjusting roller is provided with two sliding strips that match the grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the slide bar slides in conjunction with the slide groove, and T-shaped plates are provided at both ends of the slide bar to prevent the center roller from separating from the adjusting roller.

[0010] Preferably, the surfaces of the slider and the T-shaped plate are covered with an elastic rubber layer.

[0011] Preferably, the two ends of the limiting roller are rotatably connected to two support frames via bearings, and a motor for driving the winding roller to rotate is fixed on the support frame.

[0012] Preferably, the bottoms of the two support frames are slidably mounted on the same fixed plate, and the fixed plate has an upwardly protruding arc-shaped support plate at its center.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the support plate is an arc surface to support the wrapped label tape; two electric actuators are provided on each side of the support plate, and the telescopic ends of the electric actuators are fixedly connected to the support frame to drive the two support frames to move towards each other or away from each other.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention achieves high-precision cutting through an innovative bow-shaped winding roller design and a vision inspection system. The winding roller combines a 15°-25° cone-angle limiting roller with an adjustable center roller, along with an arc-shaped support plate and an electric push rod adjustment mechanism. This ensures automatic centering of the label tape and maintains stable tension. A vision sensor monitors the tape position in real time, achieving dynamic correction through closed-loop control. Elastic rubber-coated sliders ensure smooth adjustment and reduce vibration and noise.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 A label cutting limiting mechanism includes a work box 1, a control box 11 and a worktable 13 fixedly installed on the top of the work box 1, a cutting blade 12 installed on the top of the worktable 13 for cutting label tape, and two winding rollers 2 located on both sides of the worktable 13, the two winding rollers 2 being used for unwinding and rewinding label tape respectively. The winding roller 2 includes two limiting rollers 21, a central roller 22, and an adjusting roller 23. The adjacent sides of the two limiting rollers 21 are fixedly connected to the central roller 22. The adjusting roller 23 is coaxially sleeved inside the central roller 22 and can slide axially. The two limiting rollers 21 are symmetrically conical and the axial cross section of the winding roller 2 is bow-shaped. The inner wall of the central roller 22 is provided with two symmetrical axial grooves 221. The outer wall of the adjusting roller 23 is provided with two sliding strips 231 that match the grooves 221. The sliding strips 231 slide in cooperation with the grooves 221. T-shaped plates 232 are provided at both ends of the sliding strips 231 to prevent the central roller 22 from separating from the adjusting roller 23. The surfaces of the sliding strips 231 and the T-shaped plates 232 are covered with an elastic rubber layer. The two ends of the limiting roller 21 are rotatably connected to two support frames 4 via bearings. A motor 3 that drives the winding roller 2 to rotate is fixed on the support frame 4. The bottom of the two support frames 4 is slidably set on the same fixed plate 5. The center of the fixed plate 5 is provided with an upwardly protruding arc-shaped support plate 51. The top of the support plate 51 is an arc surface used to support the wrapped label tape. Two electric push rods 6 are provided on each side of the support plate 51.

[0024] The cone angle α of the conical platform limiting roller 21 is controlled within the range of 15°-25°; This label cutting and limiting mechanism achieves high-precision cutting and stable conveying of the label tape through an innovative bow-shaped winding roller 2 design and a vision sensor 42. The label tape is drawn from the unwinding winding roller 2, cut to a fixed length by the cutting blade 12 on the worktable 13, and then retrieved by the rewinding winding roller 2. The winding roller 2 adopts a combination structure of a conical limiting roller 21 and an adjustable center roller 22. The axial sliding of the adjusting roller 23 adapts to label tapes of different widths. Combined with the gradually expanding guide surface formed by the bow-shaped cross-section, it effectively prevents tape deviation. The arc-shaped support surface of the support plate 51 and the adjustable support frame 4 driven by the electric push rod 6 work together to maintain constant tension during the winding process. The vision sensor 42 monitors the edge position of the label tape in real time. When deviation is detected, the control box 11 adjusts the speed of the motor 3 or the stroke of the electric push rod 6 for dynamic correction. It can quickly adapt to label tapes of different widths. After adjustment, the control box 11 can be used to... 1. The cutting blade 12 moves downwards to cut the label tape, ensuring that the label tape is centered during cutting. The mechanism uses a bow-shaped winding roller 2 cross-section design to keep the material in the center position, resulting in high correction accuracy. The elastic rubber-coated slider 231 and T-shaped plate 232 ensure smooth sliding and absorb vibration. The linkage design between the electric push rod 6 and the support frame 4 enables rapid adjustment of the winding roller 2, shortening the changeover time and improving adjustment efficiency. The arc-shaped support plate 51 provides uniform support force for the label tape, enhancing stability. The sliding fit structure between the center roller 22 and the adjusting roller 23 ensures rigidity while achieving continuous diameter adjustment. This mechanism is particularly suitable for cutting high-precision electronic labels, solving the pain points of material deviation, burrs, and low changeover efficiency in existing technologies.
