Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of label and sticker distribution technology, and in particular to a label conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] Label conveyors are used to peel off and output labels one by one from a rolled label roll for easy user access. Existing label conveyors typically include: a housing with a label outlet, mounting components for positioning and installing the label roll, a winding mechanism for winding the backing paper, and a peeling mechanism for peeling the label stickers off the backing paper. During operation, the backing paper passes the peeling mechanism and is then wound by the winding mechanism below it.

[0003] In existing technology, the peeling mechanism is usually located inside the housing, and the sticker outlet is located on the front wall of the housing. When dispensing the sticker, the label sticker is usually completely detached from the backing paper and overlaps at the sticker outlet for the user to pick up. If the label sticker is not completely detached from the backing paper and part of it is still adhered to the backing paper, when the user needs to pick up the label, because the peeling mechanism is not exposed in the housing, the label sticker is not easy to detach from the backing paper. Furthermore, the user often pulls the label away from the peeling mechanism with force in the direction closest to themselves, which can easily pull out the backing paper, affecting the user experience.

[0004] The above content is only used to assist in understanding the technical solution of the utility model and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this utility model proposes a label conveyor, which aims to solve the technical problem that the backing paper is easily pulled out when the label sticker is not completely separated from the backing paper.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a label conveyor for outputting label stickers, wherein the label stickers are peelably adhered to a backing paper and wound into label rolls. The label conveyor is characterized by comprising:

[0007] The housing has a sticker outlet on its front wall for outputting the label, and a receiving cavity communicating with the sticker outlet, and a paper feeding channel communicating with the sticker outlet is provided in the receiving cavity.

[0008] A positioning element, used to position the label roll and rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity;

[0009] A winding mechanism is provided within the accommodating cavity and is driven to pull the label roll to rotate and wind the backing paper;

[0010] A peeling mechanism has an end peeling angle located adjacent to the sticker outlet and configured to cooperate with the winding mechanism to change the travel direction of the backing paper to a different direction than its travel direction within the paper feed channel, thereby allowing the label sticker to be partially or completely peeled off from the backing paper and output from the sticker outlet; wherein,

[0011] The winding mechanism is located below the peeling mechanism. The top wall of the housing has a force application notch, which is connected to the sticker outlet. The force application notch is used to expose the end peeling angle to form a force application space for the user to apply upward force.

[0012] In one embodiment, the housing has a clearance space below the end peeling angle to allow a user's hand to reach in and apply upward force to pick up the label sticker.

[0013] In one embodiment, the front wall of the housing is recessed to form the clearance space; and / or,

[0014] The end peeling angle protrudes from the front wall of the housing in the front-rear direction and forms the clearance space with the peripheral wall of the housing.

[0015] In one embodiment, the front wall of the housing has a clearance notch below the peeling mechanism that communicates with the sticker outlet to form the clearance space.

[0016] In one embodiment, the label conveyor further includes a sticker holder, which is detachably mounted within the receiving cavity;

[0017] The positioning element, the winding mechanism, and the peeling mechanism are all located on the sticker holder. The winding mechanism includes a spool, which is located below the end peeling angle. The spool is driven to wind the backing paper after peeling off the label sticker.

[0018] The sticker holder also includes a front baffle located below the end peel angle, the front baffle extending from the top of the sticker holder from the bottom and tilting inward to support the backing paper.

[0019] In one embodiment, the outer wall surface of the front baffle is provided with a plurality of anti-stick strips, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the backing paper.

[0020] In one embodiment, the inner wall surface of the front baffle is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion, which is used to guide the backing paper from the peeling angle to the roll.

[0021] In one embodiment, the sticker holder further includes an elastic clamping assembly, which is located on opposite sides of the backing paper in the vertical direction, and the elastic clamping assembly is configured to cooperate with the end of the peeling mechanism away from the end peeling angle to form the paper feeding channel and elastically clamp the backing paper in the vertical direction.

[0022] In one embodiment, the peeling mechanism is fixedly connected to the housing, and the elastic clamping assembly includes a pressing member and an elastic member. The pressing member is movably connected to the housing, and the elastic member acts on the pressing member to clamp the backing paper with the peeling mechanism in the vertical direction.

[0023] In one embodiment, the elastic clamping assembly includes a pressing member, a supporting member, and an elastic member. The pressing member and the supporting member are fixedly connected to the housing. The pressing member and the peeling mechanism form the paper feeding channel. The pressing member and the supporting member are located on opposite sides of the peeling mechanism in the vertical direction.

[0024] The two opposite ends of the elastic element abut against the support element and the peeling mechanism at the ends away from the end peeling angle, respectively. The peeling mechanism is rotatably connected to the housing. The elastic element acts on the peeling mechanism to clamp the backing paper between the pressing element and the peeling mechanism in the vertical direction.

[0025] In one embodiment, the peeling mechanism has an upward-facing abutment protrusion on the wall surface near the pressing member, the protrusion abutting against the pressing member on opposite sides of the backing paper in the vertical direction.

[0026] In one embodiment, the bottom of the housing has a placement plane, the end peel angle is disposed near the top of the housing, and the end peel angle is inclined downward from back to front, so that the top surface of the end peel angle is set at an acute angle with the placement plane, so that the label sticker is output inclined downward.

[0027] In one embodiment, the front wall of the housing extends from the top to the bottom of the housing and slopes inward.

[0028] In one embodiment, the housing further includes a surrounding wall and a partition wall, wherein two opposing wall surfaces of the partition wall respectively enclose the surrounding wall to form an installation cavity and the receiving cavity;

[0029] The label conveyor also includes an electrically controlled drive mechanism, which is located inside the mounting cavity and its output end is connected to the winding mechanism to drive the winding mechanism to rotate, thereby peeling the label sticker off the backing paper.

[0030] In one embodiment, the label conveyor further includes a sensor, a main control board, and a motor. The main control board and the motor are disposed within the housing. The sensor is mounted on the outer side of the front wall of the housing and located below the peeling mechanism. The front wall of the housing extends from the bottom to the top of the housing and is inclined outward. The sensor is used to send a stop signal to the main control board when it detects that the label sticker protrudes beyond a preset position of the end peeling angle, so that the main control board stops the motor. The sensor is also used to send a drive signal to the main control board after the label sticker is detached from the label conveyor, so that the main control board drives the motor.

[0031] This utility model of a label conveyor places the winding mechanism below the peeling mechanism, and the top wall of the housing has a force application notch. This allows the user to apply an upward force to the label after it has been peeled off by the peeling mechanism. Because there is a downward pulling force on the backing paper by the winding mechanism below the end peeling angle, the label is easier to peel off from the backing paper. This avoids the problem in the prior art where the user can only pull the label horizontally forward. It ensures that the backing paper remains in the normal winding path and is not excessively pulled out, thereby improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text is to include three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies both A and B.

[0050] This utility model proposes a label conveyor 100 for conveying label stickers 210, which can be peeled off and pasted onto backing paper 220 and rolled into a label roll 200.

[0051] In this embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The label conveyor 100 includes a housing 10, a positioning member 21, a winding mechanism 22, and a peeling mechanism 23. The front wall 11 of the housing 10 has a sticker outlet 111 for label output. The housing 10 has a receiving cavity 12 communicating with the sticker outlet 111, and the receiving cavity 12 has a paper feeding channel 121 communicating with the sticker outlet 111. The positioning member 21 is used to position the label roll 200 and is rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity 12. The winding mechanism 22 is disposed within the receiving cavity 12 and is driven to pull the label roll 200 to rotate and wind the backing paper 220. The peeling mechanism... 23 has an end peeling angle 231, which is located near the sticker outlet 111 and is configured to cooperate with the winding mechanism 22 to change the travel direction of the backing paper 220 to be different from the travel direction in the paper feeding channel 121, so that the label sticker 210 is partially or completely peeled off from the backing paper 220 and can be output from the sticker outlet 111; wherein, the winding mechanism 22 is located below the peeling mechanism 23, and the top wall of the housing 10 has a force application notch 13, which is connected to the sticker outlet 111, and the force application notch 13 is used to expose the end peeling angle 231 to form a force application space.

[0052] In this embodiment, the label conveyor 100 includes a housing 10, and the front wall 11 of the housing 10 has a sticker outlet 111 for label output. The housing 10 has a receiving cavity 12 that communicates with the sticker outlet 111, and the receiving cavity 12 has a paper feeding channel 121 that communicates with the sticker outlet 111.

[0053] A positioning element 21 for positioning the label roll 200 is provided in the accommodating cavity 12. The positioning element 21 can be a rotating shaft, a support rod or a sleeve post. The label roll 200 has a through hole in the middle so that the label roll 200 can be sleeved on the positioning element 21 and can ensure that the label roll 200 can rotate stably during use so that the backing paper 220 can enter the paper feeding channel 121 in sequence.

[0054] A winding mechanism 22 is also provided within the accommodating cavity 12, and is located below the peeling mechanism 23. The winding mechanism 22 can rotate under the drive of the driving component, thereby pulling the liner paper 220 along the paper feed channel 121, and continuing to wind and collect the liner paper 220 after it passes the peeling mechanism 23. The winding mechanism 22 can be a winding roller or other rotatable take-up component. In some embodiments, the driving component can be a manual knob, a motor, or other driving mechanism.

[0055] The peeling mechanism 23 has an end peeling angle 231, which is an angular structure and can be a rounded angle. The end peeling angle 231 is located near the sticker outlet 111 and cooperates with the winding mechanism 22 to change the travel direction of the backing paper 220. When the backing paper 220 moves forward along the paper path 121 to the end peeling angle 231, its travel direction is forced to turn downward and toward the winding mechanism 22, thereby separating part or all of the backing paper 220 from the label sticker 210, and part of the label sticker 210 is output outward through the sticker outlet 111.

[0056] Furthermore, a force-applying notch 13 is provided on the top wall of the housing 10, which connects to the sticker outlet 111. The shape of the force-applying notch 13 can be square, circular, or other shapes, and is not limited here. In this embodiment, the overall shape of the force-applying notch 13 and the sticker outlet 111 can be L-shaped. The end peeling angle 231 is exposed in the force-applying notch 13, thereby forming a force-applying space between the sticker outlet 111 and the force-applying notch 13. In other words, the force-applying space is the space above the force-applying notch 13. When the user takes the label sticker 210, due to the pulling force of the winding mechanism 22 below the end peeling angle 231, the user grasps the label sticker 210 and applies an upward force, making it easier to peel the label sticker 210 from the backing paper 220, avoiding the backing paper 220 being pulled out additionally due to excessive horizontal pulling force. The force-applying notch 13 and the sticker outlet 111 form a continuous paper output space, allowing the user to directly tear or pick up the label sticker 210 from above, which is convenient.

[0057] The label conveyor 100 of this utility model sets the winding mechanism 22 below the peeling mechanism 23, and the top wall of the housing 10 is provided with a force application notch 13, so that the user can apply an upward force to the label sticker 210 after it has been peeled off by the peeling mechanism 23. Since there is a downward pulling force of the winding mechanism 22 on the backing paper 220 below the end peeling angle 231, the label sticker 210 is easier to peel off from the backing paper 220, avoiding the situation where the label sticker 210 is not easy to separate from the backing paper 220, resulting in the backing paper 220 being pulled out excessively, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] In one embodiment, a clearance space 14 is provided below the peeling angle 231 at the end of the housing 10, so that the user can reach in and apply upward force to pick up the label sticker 210.

[0059] Specifically, the shape and implementation of the clearance space 14 are varied and are not limited here. For example, in one example, the front wall 11 of the housing 10 is recessed inward at the position corresponding to the end peeling angle 231, thereby forming the clearance space 14 at the front wall 11; in another example, the end peeling angle 231 protrudes from the front wall 11 of the housing 10 along the front-rear direction, and the clearance space 14 is formed between the end peeling angle 231 and the peripheral wall of the housing 10; in yet another example, the housing 10 has a clearance notch 112 below the peeling mechanism 23, which is connected to the sticker outlet 111, thereby forming the clearance space 14 below the end peeling angle 231. Thus, compared to solutions where the peeling mechanism 23 is inside the housing 10 or where no clearance space 14 is provided below the peeling mechanism 23, this embodiment provides a clearance space 14 below the end peeling angle 231, allowing the user to more easily insert their fingers to apply force, further reducing operational difficulties caused by space limitations, and ensuring that the user can directly peel off the label sticker 210 with an upward motion.

[0060] In one embodiment, the front wall 11 of the housing 10 is recessed to form a clearance space 14; and / or, the end peeling angle 231 protrudes from the front wall 11 of the housing 10 in the front-rear direction and surrounds the peripheral wall of the housing 10 to form a clearance space 14.

[0061] In other words, the clearance space 14 can be one or a combination of the following embodiments. For example, one is that the front wall 11 of the housing 10 is recessed to form the clearance space 14. By partially recessing the front wall 11 of the housing 10, a recessed space can be naturally formed below the end peeling angle 231. The user's fingers can easily be inserted into the clearance space 14 to apply an upward peeling force to the label sticker 210 peeled from the backing paper 220. This eliminates the need to increase the volume of the housing 10 to form the clearance space 14, which is beneficial for miniaturization of the label conveyor 100. Another is that the end peeling angle 231 protrudes from the front wall 11 of the housing 10 in the front-rear direction and surrounds the peripheral wall of the housing 10 to form the clearance space 14. Specifically, the end peel angle 231 can be made of a metal sheet or a rigid structural component, and it extends forward relative to the front wall 11 of the housing 10. Because there is a gap between the extended end peel angle 231 and the front wall 11 of the housing 10, a partial opening space is formed, allowing the user to insert their fingers into this space and apply upward force to easily pick up the label sticker 210. This does not restrict the shape of the housing 10, which is beneficial for personalized design. By providing the clearance space 14, ample operating space is provided for the user, allowing them to more naturally insert their fingers and apply an upward peeling force to the label sticker 210, avoiding the situation in traditional label conveyors 100 where the operating space is limited and the label can only be pulled horizontally.

[0062] In one embodiment, the front wall 11 of the housing 10 is provided with a clearance notch 112 below the peeling mechanism 23, which communicates with the sticker outlet 111, to form a clearance space 14.

[0063] In this embodiment, the housing 10 has a clearance notch 112 below the peeling mechanism 23, which communicates with the sticker outlet 111, to form a clearance space 14. Specifically, the clearance notch 112 can be integrally formed with the sticker outlet 111, so that the sticker outlet 111 extends downward at the front wall 11, thereby forming an open operating space below the end peeling angle 231. When the user takes the label sticker 210, they can insert their finger through the clearance notch 112 and directly apply an upward peeling force to the label sticker 210 peeled off by the end peeling angle 231, avoiding operational difficulties caused by insufficient space. Thus, forming the clearance space 14 by opening a clearance notch 112 on the front wall 11 of the housing 10 to communicate with the sticker outlet 111 has the advantages of simple structure and convenient processing. At the same time, the clearance notch 112 provides a larger operating opening, allowing the label sticker 210 to be more fully exposed after peeling. Users can directly insert their fingers into the notch and apply upward force, making it more convenient to use. This further reduces the abnormal traction problem of the backing paper 220 caused by horizontal pulling, significantly improving the user experience.

[0064] In one embodiment, the label conveyor 100 further includes a sticker holder 20, which is detachably mounted in the receiving cavity 12; a positioning member 21, a winding mechanism 22, and a peeling mechanism 23 are all disposed on the sticker holder 20; the winding mechanism 22 includes a spool 221 disposed near the end peel angle 231 below the spool; the spool 221 is driven to wind the backing paper 220 after the label sticker 210 has been peeled off; the sticker holder 20 also includes a front baffle 24 located below the end peel angle 231; the front baffle 24 extends from the top of the sticker holder 20 to the bottom and is inclined inward to support the backing paper 220.

[0065] In this embodiment, the label conveyor 100 also includes a sticker holder 20, which is detachably installed within the receiving cavity 12. By providing the sticker holder 20, multiple functional components can be installed in a concentrated manner, facilitating overall disassembly and maintenance. Specifically, the positioning element 21, the winding mechanism 22, and the peeling mechanism 23 are all located on the sticker holder 20, thereby enabling the installation of the label roll 200, the output of the label sticker 210, and the peeling process between the label sticker 210 and the backing paper 220 to be completed on the holder. The winding mechanism 22 includes a spool 221, which is located below the end peeling angle 231 and connected to the drive component, so that after the label sticker 210 is peeled off from the backing paper 220, the backing paper 220 can be pulled and wound up for collection.

[0066] Furthermore, the sticker holder 20 also includes a front baffle 24, which is located below the end peel angle 231 and extends from the top to the bottom of the sticker holder 20. The front baffle 24 is arranged at an inward angle relative to the vertical direction of the sticker holder 20. When the backing paper 220 passes the end peel angle 231, its path fits precisely against the inner wall surface of the front baffle 24. With the inclined support of the front baffle 24, the backing paper 220 can be smoothly guided to the winding mechanism 22, preventing the backing paper 220 from wrinkling or getting stuck in a free-hanging state. Secondly, in the event of improper user operation, such as pulling out a large section of the incompletely peeled backing paper 220, the front baffle 24 can also guide and separate the backing paper 220 and the label sticker 210 when the reel 221 continues to wind up the backing paper 220. Specifically, when the roll 221 rewinds the backing paper 220, the label sticker 210 is separated on the outer wall of the front baffle 24 and cannot enter the bracket along with the backing paper 220, thus avoiding the problem of the label sticker 210 accumulating or getting stuck in the sticker bracket 20.

[0067] Furthermore, multiple anti-adhesion strips 241 are protruding from the outer wall surface of the front baffle 24. These anti-adhesion strips 241 are spaced apart along the width direction of the backing paper 220. The material of the anti-adhesion strips 241 can be the same as that of the front baffle 24, or it can be made of a low-friction material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone strips, and extends along the length direction of the front baffle 24. If the label sticker 210 accidentally adheres to the outer wall surface of the front baffle 24, the multiple anti-adhesion strips 241 can effectively reduce the adhesion between it and the front baffle 24, allowing the label sticker 210 to detach smoothly when the user removes it or when the backing paper 220 continues to be wound, preventing it from getting stuck at the front baffle 24.

[0068] Furthermore, the inner wall surface of the front baffle 24 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 242, which is used to guide the backing paper 220 to be conveyed from the peeling angle to the roll 221.

[0069] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped protrusion 242 is integrally formed with the front baffle 24. The height of the arc-shaped protrusion 242 gradually increases from the front end to the rear end of the front baffle 24. In this way, a smooth guiding path can be provided during the process of conveying the liner paper 220 from the peeling angle to the roll 221, avoiding large-area frictional contact between the liner paper 220 and the front baffle 24, thereby reducing the conveying resistance of the liner paper 220 and further improving the smoothness of the winding process.

[0070] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The sticker holder 20 also includes an elastic clamping component 25. The elastic clamping component 25 and the peeling mechanism 23 are located on opposite sides of the backing paper 220 in the vertical direction. The elastic clamping component 25 is configured to cooperate with the end of the peeling mechanism 23 away from the end peeling angle 231 to form a paper feeding channel 121 and elastically clamp the backing paper 220 in the vertical direction so that the backing paper 220 can be elastically clamped in the vertical direction when passing through the paper feeding channel 121.

[0071] The elastic clamping assembly 25 can be made of elastic materials such as springs or rubber, such as clamping plates, spring pressure plates or adjustable spring sheets, to apply appropriate clamping force to the backing paper 220, so as to ensure that the backing paper 220 moves smoothly along the paper path 121 and remains stable and flat, without deviation or swinging, and to avoid incomplete peeling of the label sticker 210 or paper jam caused by the swinging or deviation of the backing paper 220.

[0072] In the first embodiment, the peeling mechanism 23 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, and the elastic clamping assembly 25 includes a pressing member 251 and an elastic member 252. The pressing member 251 is movably connected to the housing 10, and the elastic member 252 acts on the pressing member 251 so that the pressing member 251 and the peeling mechanism 23 clamp the backing paper 220 in the vertical direction.

[0073] In this embodiment, the pressing member 251 is a plate-shaped structure, which can be an arc-shaped plate, and the elastic member 252 can be an elastic component such as a spring or rubber. The pressing member 251 is movably connected to the housing 10 through a hinge, a pivot connection, or other movable connection method. The elastic member 252 acts on the pressing member 251 so that the pressing member 251 can apply an elastic clamping force to the backing paper 220 in the vertical direction, thereby clamping the backing paper 220 together with the peeling mechanism 23. Specifically, the pressing member 251 is located above the backing paper 220, and the peeling mechanism 23 is located below the backing paper 220. The elastic member 252 applies downward pressure to the pressing member 251 to clamp the backing paper 220 together with the peeling mechanism 23, so that the backing paper 220 always maintains a stable position in the vertical direction, ensuring the stability of the label sticker 210 during the peeling process.

[0074] In the second embodiment, the elastic clamping assembly 25 includes a pressing member 251, a supporting member 253, and an elastic member 252. The pressing member 251 and the supporting member 253 are fixedly connected to the housing 10. The pressing member 251 and the peeling mechanism 23 form a paper feeding channel 121. The pressing member 251 and the supporting member 253 are located on opposite sides of the peeling mechanism 23 in the vertical direction. The opposite ends of the elastic member 252 abut against the supporting member 253 and the end of the peeling mechanism 23 away from the end peeling angle 231. The peeling mechanism 23 is rotatably connected to the housing 10. The elastic member 252 acts on the peeling mechanism 23 to clamp the backing paper 220 in the vertical direction between the pressing member 251 and the peeling mechanism 23.

[0075] In this embodiment, the pressing member 251 and the support member 253 can be plate-shaped structures or other fixed structures. The pressing member 251 and the support member 253 are fixedly connected to the housing 10 and are spaced apart in the vertical direction to form a paper feeding channel 121. Specifically, the pressing member 251 is located above the backing paper 220, the peeling mechanism 23 and the support member 253 are located below the backing paper 220, and the support member 253 is located below the peeling mechanism 23. The opposite ends of the elastic member 252 abut against the support member 253 and the end of the peeling mechanism 23 away from the end peeling angle 231, respectively. The peeling mechanism 23 is rotatably connected to the housing 10. When the elastic member 252 acts, that is, the elastic member 252 applies an upward elastic force to the peeling mechanism 23, which enables the pressing member 251 and the peeling mechanism 23 to clamp the backing paper 220 in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the backing paper 220 in the paper feeding channel 121. Furthermore, since the elastic member 252 acts on the end of the peeling mechanism 23, the clamping effect is further improved.

[0076] In one embodiment, the peeling mechanism 23 has an upward abutting protrusion 232 on the wall surface near the pressing member 251, and the protrusion and the pressing member 251 abut against opposite sides of the backing paper 220 in the vertical direction.

[0077] In this embodiment, the protrusion can be arc-shaped or columnar. When the backing paper 220 passes through the paper feeding channel 121, the contact between the backing paper 220 and the peeling mechanism 23 is mainly concentrated between the protrusion and the pressing member 251, thereby reducing the direct contact area between the backing paper 220 and the peeling mechanism 23 and reducing friction. In this way, even if the backing paper 220 is elastically clamped in the vertical direction, it can still pass smoothly through the peeling mechanism 23, ensuring the stable peeling and output of the label sticker 210.

[0078] In one embodiment, the bottom of the housing 10 has a placement plane 15, and the end peeling angle 231 is located near the top of the housing 10. The end peeling angle 231 is inclined downward from back to front, so that the top surface of the end peeling angle 231 is set at an acute angle with the placement plane 15, causing the label sticker 210 to be output at a downward tilt. In other words, the plane where the end peeling angle 231 is located is set at an acute angle with the placement plane 15, so that the peeled label sticker 210 can protrude downward from the end peeling angle 231, that is, the adhesive surface of the label sticker 210 faces downward, making it easier for the user to directly pick up the label sticker 210 from below and apply it more smoothly to the desktop, book, or other locations. Secondly, since the end peeling angle 210 is inclined downward, when the user picks up the label sticker 210 upward, a smaller force distance can be applied to peel the label sticker 210 from the backing paper 220, and when picking up the label sticker 210, the palm of the hand faces inward, which is more ergonomic.

[0079] In one embodiment, the front wall 11 of the housing 10 extends from the top to the bottom of the housing 10 and is inclined inward, that is, the housing 10 is inclined inward in the vertical direction. The front wall 11 of the housing 10 is more likely to form a clearance space 14, and the length of the housing 10 is smaller, thereby reducing the volume of the label conveyor 100, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the label conveyor 100 and thus saves transportation costs.

[0080] In one embodiment, the housing 10 further includes an interconnected enclosure wall 16 and a partition wall 17, with the two opposite walls of the partition wall 17 respectively enclosing the enclosure wall 16 to form an interconnected mounting cavity 18 and a receiving cavity 12; the label conveyor 100 further includes an electrically controlled drive mechanism 30, which is disposed in the mounting cavity 18, and the output end of the electrically controlled drive mechanism 30 is connected to the winding mechanism 22 to drive the winding mechanism 22 to rotate, thereby causing the label sticker 210 to be peeled off from the backing paper 220.

[0081] In this embodiment, the enclosure wall 16 forms the outer peripheral wall of the housing 10, and the partition wall 17 is connected to the wall surface of the enclosure wall 16, dividing the interior of the housing 10 into a receiving cavity 12 and a mounting cavity 18. The receiving cavity 12 is used to receive the label roll 200 and its associated peeling and winding mechanism 22, while the mounting cavity 18 is used to mount the electronically controlled drive mechanism 30. The electronically controlled drive mechanism 30 may include a motor, gears, belts, or other transmission devices. Appropriate drive parameters are selected according to the size of the label roll 200 and the material of the backing paper 220 to ensure smooth label peeling and successful winding of the backing paper 220. The electronically controlled drive mechanism 30 enables automatic driving of the winding mechanism 22, eliminating the need for the user to manually pull the backing paper 220 during the peeling process of the label sticker 210, thus improving peeling efficiency.

[0082] In one embodiment, the label conveyor 100 further includes a sensor 40, a main control board, and a motor. The main control board and the motor are disposed inside the housing 10. The sensor 40 is installed on the outside of the front wall 11 of the housing 10 and is located below the peeling mechanism 23. The front wall 11 of the housing 10 extends from the bottom to the top of the housing 10 and is inclined outward. The sensor 40 is used to send a stop signal to the main control board when it detects that the peeling angle 231 of the protruding end of the label sticker 210 is at a preset position, so that the main control board stops the motor. The sensor 40 is also used to send a drive signal to the main control board after the label sticker 210 is detached from the label conveyor 100, so that the main control board drives the motor.

[0083] In this embodiment, the electrically controlled drive mechanism 30 is a motor, and the sensor 40 can employ photoelectric, infrared, or other suitable technologies for detecting the label position. The main control board can automatically control the start and stop of the motor based on the signal from the sensor 40, thereby achieving automated control of the label conveyor 100. The sensor 40 is installed on the outside of the front wall 11 of the housing 10, located below the peeling mechanism 23, and the front wall 11 of the housing 10 extends from the bottom to the top and slopes outward. Thus, when the label sticker 210 protrudes to the end peeling angle 231, it can be within the effective detection range of the sensor 40. When the label sticker 210 reaches the preset position, the sensor 40 sends a stop signal to the main control board, causing the main control board to stop driving the motor and preventing the label sticker 210 from being completely peeled off. Simultaneously, sensor 40 can also detect whether the label sticker 210 has been peeled off from the label conveyor 100. The label sticker 210 can be peeled off from the backing paper or from the overlap at the output port. When peeling is detected, sensor 40 sends a drive signal to the main control board, causing the main control board to start the motor to continue winding the backing paper 220 and peel off the next label. In other words, by setting the front wall 11 of the housing 10 to be tilted outward, sensor 40 can always be within the effective detection range of the label sticker 210, achieving accurate detection of the label protrusion position and peeling status. This ensures timely start and stop of the motor, improving label peeling accuracy and continuity. If the front wall 11 of the housing 10 extends from the bottom to the top and tilts inward, the distance between sensor 40 and label sticker 210 may be too close or too far, resulting in inaccurate detection of the label position, thus affecting the start and stop control of the motor, reducing peeling accuracy and automation level.
