Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sticker output equipment technology, and in particular to a sticker roll carrier module and a sticker output machine. Background Technology

[0002] Stickers are widely used in many scenarios due to their low cost, variety of forms, ease of use, and decorative and identification functions. For example, teachers use stickers as rewards, children and students like to put personalized stickers on items, and paper packaging such as bread and milk tea in stores is sealed with stickers.

[0003] In related technologies, stickers are distributed using a sticker machine. When in use, multiple strips of backing paper with peelable stickers are arranged and wound into a sticker roll. The sticker roll is placed outside the positioning part inside the sticker machine housing. The sticker is peeled off from the backing paper by the peeling mechanism and winding mechanism inside the sticker machine and output from the output port.

[0004] During the operation of the sticker applicator, the sticker roll rotates and is positioned by the cooperation of its central positioning hole and positioning component to ensure continuous sticker output. If the outer wall of the positioning component is in close contact with the wall of the central positioning hole of the sticker roll, although the backing paper can be kept taut and the rotation stability of the sticker roll can be guaranteed, the excessive contact area will significantly increase the frictional resistance of the sticker roll. This will not only reduce the sticker output efficiency of the sticker applicator, but may also lead to accelerated motor wear due to long-term overload operation. If the positioning component is spaced apart from the wall of the central positioning hole of the sticker roll, the rotational resistance can be reduced, but the sticker roll will be looser, which will cause the backing paper to not maintain proper tension, thereby reducing the peeling efficiency between the sticker and the backing paper, and in severe cases, the sticker may not be able to be peeled off from the backing paper. Therefore, in continuous sticker output scenarios, the sticker roll is prone to jamming or peeling failure due to friction or looseness during rotation, affecting the stable output of stickers.

[0046] The sticker roll is made of strips of backing paper arranged with multiple peelable stickers, wound together, with a central positioning hole in the center. To prevent the sticker roll from unraveling, the backing paper is usually wound around the outer edge of a rigid tube, with the hollow part of the rigid tube forming the central positioning hole. The backing paper has a release layer for the stickers to adhere, facilitating peeling. The shape and graphics of the stickers can be designed according to actual needs; for example, the side of the sticker facing away from the backing paper can be printed with cartoon characters, figures, text, barcodes, etc., for children's entertainment or as labels. In some cases, the stickers can also be essential oil stickers with special scents, such as mosquito repellent patches, energizing patches, and fragrance patches.

[0047] This utility model proposes a sticker roll carrier module.

[0048] In this embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The sticker roll carrier module is used to carry sticker rolls and is detachably or movably installed in the housing of the sticker output machine. The sticker can be peeled off and pasted onto the backing paper and wound into a sticker roll with a central positioning hole. The sticker roll carrier module includes a housing, a positioning member installed on the housing, a winding mechanism, and a turning and peeling mechanism.

[0049] The positioning member is configured to be inserted into the central positioning hole of the sticker roll. The positioning member has at least one elastic protrusion, which at least partially protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the positioning member to elastically abut against the wall of the central positioning hole of the sticker roll.

[0050] The steering and peeling mechanism is used in conjunction with the winding mechanism to change the direction of travel of the backing paper, thereby peeling the sticker off the backing paper.

[0051] The winding mechanism is rotatably connected to the housing for being driven to pull the sticker roll to rotate and wind up the backing paper after the sticker has been peeled off.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the sticker roll carrier module is detachably installed in the housing of the sticker output machine, it can be used as a consumable. That is, after the sticker roll is used up, the entire sticker roll carrier module is removed from the housing, and the module carrying the new sticker roll is installed back into the housing, allowing for sticker roll replacement. Compared to having the user replace and wind the sticker roll themselves, this greatly reduces the difficulty of sticker roll replacement and significantly improves its convenience. When the sticker roll carrier module is movably installed in the housing of the sticker output machine, for example, by rotating or sliding it within the housing, the module can be moved outside the housing when a sticker roll needs to be replaced, exposing the rotating peeling mechanism for easy user winding of the sticker roll.

[0053] The housing of the sticker roll carrier module can be selected and designed according to different types of sticker output machines. For example, when the sticker roll carrier module is used in a general sticker output machine, in order to save materials, the housing only needs to have the most basic support and installation functions. For example, the housing only has an upper cover and a lower cover, so that the positioning component, sticker roll, winding mechanism, and turning and peeling mechanism are located between the upper cover and the lower cover. When the sticker roll carrier module is used in an essential oil sticker output machine, the housing is box-shaped, that is, the housing encloses and forms a closed cavity, which has a top wall, a bottom wall, and a surrounding wall between the top wall and the bottom wall, so that the positioning component, sticker roll, winding mechanism, and turning and peeling mechanism are located in this cavity, with the output port only provided on the surrounding wall to minimize the odor of the essential oil stickers from escaping.

[0054] A winding mechanism refers to a rotating component with a winding circumference. It can be driven by a motor or manually to rotate, thereby moving the backing paper, pulling the sticker roll, and winding up the peeled backing paper. The specific driving method for the winding mechanism is not limited here. In one specific embodiment, the winding mechanism includes a winding roller. The winding roller is hollow inside, and its housing has a through hole to expose the end of the winding roller, allowing the drive shaft of the sticker output machine's drive mechanism to pass through the middle of the winding roller, thus achieving a coupling connection.

[0055] The steering and peeling mechanism is used to change the direction of travel of the backing paper to peel off the sticker. The steering and peeling mechanism can have various structures and forms, such as roller structures or steering angle structures. It works in conjunction with the winding mechanism to turn the backing paper, ensuring that the direction of travel of the backing paper between the positioning element and the steering and peeling mechanism forms an angle with the direction of travel between the steering and peeling mechanism and the winding mechanism. Specifically, the steering angle of the backing paper at the steering and peeling mechanism is greater than 90 degrees. Thus, as the sticker moves to the peeling mechanism, because the backing paper has turned inward, the leading edge of the sticker gradually separates from the backing paper in its direction of travel. As the backing paper continues to move forward, the sticker can completely detach from the backing paper and finally be output from the sticker outlet, achieving single-pass sticker delivery and distribution.

[0056] In some examples, the sticker roll carrier module may also be equipped with a sticker output section, a peeling blade, and other structures. This creates a paper path within the sticker conveyor section, or the sticker conveyor section, together with other structures (such as the cavity wall of the sticker compartment, the deflecting peeling mechanism, and the limiting plate), forms a paper path for the backing paper to travel, ensuring that the backing paper is conveyed along a predetermined track. The peeling blade is located below the deflecting peeling mechanism and not lower than the lower edge of the sticker outlet of the housing to further improve the sticker peeling effect.

[0057] The positioning element is used to allow the sticker roll to rotate. This positioning element can be a positioning post, positioning cylinder, multiple arc-shaped plates, multiple elastic arms, etc., as long as it can be inserted into the central positioning hole of the sticker roll and provide rotational support. The elastic protrusion refers to a locally elastic protruding structure with elastic deformation capability set on the positioning element. Specifically, it can be implemented using rubber blocks, elastic metal sheets, or a cantilever beam structure. When its protruding part contacts the wall of the central positioning hole of the sticker roll, it generates elastic deformation to adjust the contact pressure. The elastic protrusion can be set as a hemispherical or wedge-shaped protrusion, so that the convex surface of the elastic protrusion is an arc surface, a plane, a sphere, etc. The number of elastic protrusions can be selected and designed according to actual needs. To maintain balance, optionally, at least two elastic protrusions are provided, and at least two elastic protrusions are evenly spaced around the rotation axis of the sticker roll.

[0058] Specifically, the sticker roll is fitted over the positioning component, allowing the positioning component to generate elastic pressure by abutting against the wall of the central positioning hole through its elastic protrusion. That is, the outer peripheral wall of the positioning component primarily serves as the initial rotational positioning element, mainly through the elastic protrusion abutting against the wall of the central positioning hole of the sticker roll. This reduces the contact area between the sticker roll and the positioning component, thus lowering the rotational friction resistance of the sticker roll, while the elastic abutment of the protrusion keeps the sticker roll in position, thereby maintaining the tightness of the backing paper. Furthermore, the partial contact method of the elastic protrusion effectively reduces rotational energy consumption, extends the service life of the drive mechanism, and requires less effort when using manual drive.

[0059] This utility model of a sticker roll carrier module uses an elastic protrusion on the positioning component to elastically abut against the wall of the center positioning hole of the sticker roll. This partial elastic contact replaces the traditional full-circumference contact, effectively reducing the frictional resistance of the sticker roll rotation while maintaining appropriate tension of the backing paper. This effectively balances the rotational resistance of the sticker roll and the tightness of the backing paper, preventing sticker jamming or peeling failure due to friction or looseness during sticker roll rotation. As a result, it can maintain stable sticker output and improve sticker output efficiency.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the positioning member is provided with at least one elastic arm, one end of the elastic arm is fixedly connected to the positioning member, and the other end forms a free end, and the free end is provided with at least one elastic protrusion; an elastic space is formed on the inner side of the elastic arm for elastic deformation.

[0061] The elastic arm refers to a strip-shaped structure with one end fixed to the positioning element and the other end capable of elastically swinging. It can be implemented using a cantilever beam structure, generating clamping force through elastic deformation. The elastic arm can be positioned in various ways; for example, it can extend along the axis of the sticker roll, radially, or obliquely. The number of elastic arms can be determined according to actual needs. The free end of the elastic arm can have one, two, or more elastic protrusions. The elastic space refers to the space inside the elastic arm that allows it to move. When the elastic arm protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the positioning element, this elastic space can be the gap area between the elastic arm and the positioning element. When a groove or through-hole is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning element, and the elastic arm is positioned within this groove or through-hole, the groove or through-hole forms an elastic space, providing displacement space to accommodate the deformation of the elastic arm. The elastic deformation characteristics of the elastic arm can be adapted to the center positioning hole of sticker rolls of different sizes, improving equipment compatibility. At the same time, the clamping force of the elastic protrusion on the sticker roll can be controlled by adjusting the position of the elastic arm, so as to adjust the pressure of the elastic protrusion on the sticker roll to the optimal state.

[0062] When the sticker roll is fitted onto the positioning component, the elastic protrusion is compressed by the wall of the positioning hole in the center of the sticker roll, forcing the elastic arm to deform elastically in the direction of the elastic space. The reaction force generated by this deformation keeps the elastic protrusion in contact with the hole wall, forming a dynamically balanced clamping state. During this process, the amount of elastic deformation of the elastic arm is determined by the assembly clearance between the sticker roll and the positioning component. This solution transforms rigid contact into elastic contact through the cooperation of the elastic arm and the elastic protrusion, and reduces the rotational frictional resistance of the sticker roll through localized contact. This achieves the effect of dynamically adjusting the clamping force during the rotation of the sticker roll, preventing the sticker roll from increasing rotational resistance due to over-clamping and avoiding the loosening of the backing paper due to insufficient clamping. This ensures the rotational stability of the sticker roll, thus maintaining stable sticker output and improving sticker output efficiency.

[0063] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning element is cylindrical, and a clearance through hole is formed on its peripheral wall. The elastic arm is fixed in the clearance through hole. Optionally, to improve the connection strength, the elastic arm and the positioning element are integrally formed.

[0064] The positioning element is cylindrical, providing precise circumferential positioning for the sticker roll. A clearance through-hole penetrates the inner and outer peripheral walls of the positioning element, providing space for the elastic arm to install and deform. This clearance through-hole can be circular, rectangular, polygonal, or irregularly shaped. When the sticker roll is fitted over the positioning cylinder, the free end of the elastic arm is compressed by the wall of the central positioning hole, causing the elastic arm to bend and deform inwards towards the clearance through-hole, generating a reverse elastic force that abuts against the hole wall. If the elastic arm were located on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning cylinder, the clamping force of the elastic protrusion on the sticker roll would be too large when the sticker roll is fitted over the cylinder, increasing rotational friction resistance and the overall radial dimension of the positioning element and elastic arm. By placing the elastic arm within the clearance through-hole of the positioning element, excessive elastic force is avoided, preventing excessive rotational friction between the elastic protrusion and the sticker roll, while also reducing the overall dimension of the positioning element and elastic arm.

[0065] Furthermore, please refer to again Figures 1 to 5 The elastic arm extends axially along the positioning member, which includes a supporting wall and a deformable wall. One end of the deformable wall near the free end of the elastic arm is fixedly connected to the supporting wall, and the remaining part is spaced apart from the supporting wall so that the end of the deformable wall away from the free end of the elastic arm is deformable.

[0066] The supporting enclosure refers to the part of the positioning cylinder with high structural rigidity, used to provide a stable installation base for the elastic arm. The deformable enclosure refers to the part of the positioning cylinder with elastic deformation capability, which can be achieved through elastic arms, hollow walls, or thin-walled structures, used to adapt to deformation during the installation of the sticker roll, facilitating the assembly of the sticker roll. When the positioning component is connected to the top cover or housing by a snap-fit, the snap-fit ​​of the top cover or housing can be fastened to the deformable enclosure for easy disassembly and assembly. The elastic arm extending axially along the positioning component means that the length direction of the elastic arm is completely parallel or approximately parallel to the central axis of the positioning cylinder. Extending the elastic arm axially along the positioning component, compared to extending it circumferentially, allows the elastic arm to be set longer, making it easier to control the elastic resistance of the elastic protrusion, and allowing the elastic arm to be set as a straight arm, reducing processing costs.

[0067] When the sticker roll is sleeved outside the positioning cylinder, the elastic protrusion at the free end of the elastic arm abuts against the wall of the central positioning hole. The fixed end of the deformable enclosure is connected to the supporting enclosure, while the rest of the enclosure maintains a gap with the supporting enclosure, so that the radial pressure generated when the sticker roll rotates can push the deformable enclosure to deform slightly, thereby dynamically adjusting the contact area between the positioning cylinder and the sticker roll.

[0068] Furthermore, the elastic arm is disposed on the supporting enclosure; and / or, the deformable enclosure is provided with a deformation notch extending through its end face near the free end of the elastic arm.

[0069] The supporting enclosure provides rigid support for the elastic arm. By fixing the elastic arm to the more rigid supporting enclosure, both the support stability of the elastic arm and the rotational resistance are ensured. The deformation notch can be a U-shaped or V-shaped groove structure, used to reduce the local stiffness of the deformable enclosure to promote deformation. It is understood that when the elastic arm is set on the supporting enclosure, the sticker roll may come into contact with the deformable enclosure during rotation. Therefore, by setting a deformation notch on the deformable enclosure, the deformable enclosure is made more likely to deform, further reducing the frictional resistance between the positioning cylinder and the sticker roll. In some embodiments, the elastic arm can also be set on the deformable enclosure.

[0070] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application further proposes that the positioning element includes at least two opposing support walls and at least two opposing deformable walls, wherein the deformable walls are disposed between the two support walls, and each support wall is provided with at least one elastic arm.

[0071] In this embodiment, the supporting walls and deformable walls are arranged alternately to form a multi-arc-shaped cylindrical structure. Multiple elastic arms provide multi-point contact support through axially distributed elastic protrusions when the sticker roll rotates. When the sticker roll is sleeved outside the positioning member, the elastic arms on the supporting walls form point or surface contact with the sticker roll hole wall through the elastic protrusions, while the deformable walls can undergo elastic deformation under the radial pressure of the sticker roll. During the rotation of the sticker roll, the supporting walls maintain the overall structural stability of the positioning cylinder, the deformable walls absorb the radial runout of the sticker roll through deformation, and the elastic protrusions of the elastic arms maintain moderate friction while avoiding excessive resistance. Compared to a complete cylindrical structure, this solution, by arranging the supporting walls and deformable walls alternately, allows for local deformation while maintaining necessary friction, thus avoiding excessive resistance during sticker roll rotation and preventing peeling failure caused by loose backing paper.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The housing includes an upper cover and a lower cover disposed opposite to each other. The positioning member and the steering peeling mechanism are integrally connected to the lower cover, and the winding mechanism is rotatably connected to the lower cover. The upper cover is detachably connected to the positioning member. The upper cover and the lower cover are provided with a hand operation hole located between the positioning member and the winding mechanism. The hand operation hole is provided corresponding to the sticker roll and is configured to allow a hand to rotate and adjust the sticker roll.

[0073] By including an upper cover and a lower cover positioned opposite each other, the housing structure can be simplified to provide mounting and support for the positioning component, the steering and peeling mechanism, and the winding mechanism, which helps reduce the cost of the sticker roll carrier module. Integrating the positioning component and the steering and peeling mechanism into the lower cover improves structural stability and reduces assembly errors, facilitating stable feeding of the backing paper and peeling off the sticker. The winding mechanism is rotatably connected to the lower cover, allowing it to be mounted via a shaft, pressing structure, etc., ensuring smooth winding operation. The upper cover can be fixedly connected to the top of the positioning component via snap-fit ​​or plug-in methods, such as using a quick-release snap-fit. By making the upper cover detachably connected to the positioning component, no additional connecting structure is needed to fix the upper and lower covers, simplifying the installation of the upper cover. In conjunction with the above embodiment with a deformable enclosure, the upper cover snaps onto the deformable enclosure of the positioning component for easy assembly and disassembly. The hand operation hole is located in the housing area between the positioning cylinder and the winding mechanism. The operator can manually rotate the sticker roll to adjust its position through this hole without removing the top cover, which solves the problem of inconvenient sticker roll position adjustment.

[0074] In one embodiment, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the winding mechanism has a winding peripheral wall for winding the liner paper; the winding mechanism includes a first winding member and a second winding member detachably connected on its rotation axis, the outer peripheral walls of the first winding member and the outer peripheral walls of the second winding member together forming the winding peripheral wall.

[0075] The winding perimeter refers to the perimeter surface used to wrap the backing paper after the sticker has been peeled off. If the winding perimeter is a complete cylindrical outer perimeter, the backing paper, after the sticker has been peeled off, is tightly wrapped around the winding perimeter, making it impossible to quickly remove the backing paper roll from the winding perimeter. It can only be removed by completely tearing the backing paper apart, which is extremely inconvenient. This solution separates the winding mechanism into two detachable independent components, allowing the first and second winding components to combine and form the winding perimeter. When the sticker roll needs to be replaced, separating the first and second winding components allows the center of the backing paper roll to loosen, meaning the backing paper will not be tightly adhered to either the first or second winding component, thus allowing the backing paper roll to be quickly removed from the winding mechanism.

[0076] Furthermore, the first winding member includes a plurality of first rods arranged circumferentially around the winding mechanism, and the second winding member includes a plurality of second rods arranged circumferentially around the winding mechanism. The plurality of first rods and the plurality of second rods are spaced apart, and the outer peripheral walls of the plurality of first rods and the plurality of second rods together form a winding peripheral wall. In this way, while ensuring that the liner paper is reliably wound around the outer periphery of the first and second rods, the contact area between the winding mechanism and the liner paper can be further reduced, so as to facilitate the rapid removal of the liner paper from the winding mechanism.

[0077] This utility model also proposes a sticker output machine; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The sticker output machine includes a housing, a sticker roll carrying module, and a drive mechanism installed inside the housing. The specific structure of the sticker roll carrying module is as described in the above embodiments. Therefore, the housing has a sticker outlet. The sticker carrying module is replaceably installed inside the housing, or the sticker carrying module is movably installed inside the housing to have a sticker replacement position exposed outside the housing. The drive mechanism is coupled to the winding mechanism of the sticker carrying module to drive the winding mechanism to rotate and pull the backing paper, so that the sticker is peeled off by the turning and peeling mechanism and output from the sticker outlet. Since this sticker output machine adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] When the sticker roll carrier module is detachably installed in the housing of the sticker output machine, it can be used as a consumable. That is, after the sticker roll is used up, the entire sticker roll carrier module is removed from the housing, and the module carrying the new sticker roll is installed back into the housing, allowing for sticker roll replacement. Compared to having the user replace and wind the sticker roll themselves, this greatly reduces the difficulty of sticker roll replacement and significantly improves its convenience. When the sticker roll carrier module is movably installed in the housing of the sticker output machine, for example, by rotating or sliding it within the housing, the module can be moved outside the housing when a sticker roll needs to be replaced, exposing the rotating peeling mechanism for easy user winding of the sticker roll.

[0079] The specific shape and structure of the casing can be selected and designed according to different usage needs and scenarios. For example, when the sticker dispenser is used for children's play or education, the casing should be designed to be compact and easy to hold. When the sticker dispenser is a commercial desktop sticker dispenser, the casing should be designed to be stable on the desktop and easy for users to remove stickers. The drive mechanism typically includes a motor and transmission structure, which drive the winding mechanism to rotate, making it convenient, quick, and easy to use. Of course, in some embodiments, a control mechanism and a transmission mechanism can also be set up, allowing manual operation of the control mechanism, such as repeated mechanical pressing, to drive the winding mechanism to rotate, thereby achieving sticker output.

[0080] This utility model also proposes a sticker output machine for outputting stickers, wherein the stickers can be peelably pasted onto backing paper and wound into a sticker roll with a central positioning hole, wherein the sticker output machine includes a housing, a drive mechanism, a positioning component, a winding mechanism and a turning and peeling mechanism installed in the housing;

[0081] The casing is equipped with a sticker outlet.

[0082] The positioning member is configured to be inserted into the central positioning hole of the sticker roll. The positioning member has at least one elastic protrusion, which at least partially protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the positioning member to elastically abut against the wall of the central positioning hole of the sticker roll.

[0083] The deflecting and peeling mechanism is used in conjunction with the winding mechanism to change the direction of travel of the backing paper, so that the sticker is peeled off from the backing paper and output from the sticker outlet.

[0084] The drive mechanism is coupled to the winding mechanism so that after the winding mechanism rotates, it pulls the sticker roll to rotate and winds up the backing paper after the sticker has been peeled off.

[0085] In this embodiment, the specific shape and structure of the housing can be selected and designed according to different usage needs and scenarios. For example, when the sticker dispenser is used for children's play or education, the housing should be designed to be compact and easy to hold. When the sticker dispenser is a commercial desktop sticker dispenser, the housing should be designed to be stable on the desktop and easy for users to remove stickers. The sticker outlet is used for sticker output. Typically, the sticker outlet is designed as a long strip to facilitate sticker output. The positioning component, winding mechanism, and rotating peeling mechanism can be fixedly connected inside the housing. Alternatively, the positioning component, winding mechanism, and rotating peeling mechanism can be configured as a sticker roll carrying module and installed as a whole inside the housing.

[0086] A winding mechanism refers to a rotating component with a winding circumference. It can be driven by a motor or manually to rotate, thereby moving the backing paper, pulling the sticker roll, and winding up the peeled backing paper. The specific driving method for the winding mechanism is not limited here. In one specific embodiment, the winding mechanism includes a winding roller. The winding roller is hollow inside, and its housing has a through hole to expose the end of the winding roller, allowing the drive shaft of the sticker output machine's drive mechanism to pass through the middle of the winding roller, thus achieving a coupling connection.

[0087] The steering and peeling mechanism is used to change the direction of travel of the backing paper to peel off the sticker. The steering and peeling mechanism can have various structures and forms, such as roller structures or steering angle structures. It works in conjunction with the winding mechanism to turn the backing paper, ensuring that the direction of travel of the backing paper between the positioning element and the steering and peeling mechanism forms an angle with the direction of travel between the steering and peeling mechanism and the winding mechanism. Specifically, the steering angle of the backing paper at the steering and peeling mechanism is greater than 90 degrees. Thus, as the sticker moves to the peeling mechanism, because the backing paper has turned inward, the leading edge of the sticker gradually separates from the backing paper in its direction of travel. As the backing paper continues to move forward, the sticker can completely detach from the backing paper and finally be output from the sticker outlet, achieving single-pass sticker delivery and distribution.

[0088] In some examples, the housing may also include a sticker output section, a peeling blade, and other structures. This creates a paper path within the sticker delivery section, or the sticker delivery section, together with other structures (such as the cavity wall of the sticker compartment, a deflecting peeling mechanism, and a limiting plate), forms a paper path for the backing paper to travel along a predetermined track. The peeling blade is located below the deflecting peeling mechanism and not lower than the lower edge of the sticker outlet of the housing to further improve the sticker peeling effect.

[0089] The positioning element is used to allow the sticker roll to rotate. This positioning element can be a positioning post, positioning cylinder, multiple arc-shaped plates, multiple elastic arms, etc., as long as it can be inserted into the central positioning hole of the sticker roll and provide rotational support. The elastic protrusion refers to a locally elastic protruding structure with elastic deformation capability set on the positioning element. Specifically, it can be implemented using rubber blocks, elastic metal sheets, or a cantilever beam structure. When its protruding part contacts the wall of the central positioning hole of the sticker roll, it generates elastic deformation to adjust the contact pressure. The elastic protrusion can be set as a hemispherical or wedge-shaped protrusion, so that the convex surface of the elastic protrusion is an arc surface, a plane, a sphere, etc. The number of elastic protrusions can be selected and designed according to actual needs. To maintain balance, optionally, at least two elastic protrusions are provided, and at least two elastic protrusions are evenly spaced around the rotation axis of the sticker roll.

[0090] Specifically, the sticker roll is fitted over the positioning component, allowing the positioning component to generate elastic pressure by abutting against the wall of the central positioning hole through its elastic protrusion. That is, the outer peripheral wall of the positioning component primarily serves as the initial rotational positioning element, mainly through the elastic protrusion abutting against the wall of the central positioning hole of the sticker roll. This reduces the contact area between the sticker roll and the positioning component, thus lowering the rotational friction resistance of the sticker roll, while the elastic abutment of the protrusion keeps the sticker roll in position, thereby maintaining the tightness of the backing paper. Furthermore, the partial contact method of the elastic protrusion effectively reduces rotational energy consumption, extends the service life of the drive mechanism, and requires less effort when using manual drive.

[0091] This utility model of a sticker output machine uses an elastic protrusion on the positioning component to elastically abut against the wall of the center positioning hole of the sticker roll. This partial elastic contact replaces the traditional full-circumference contact, effectively reducing the frictional resistance of the sticker roll rotation while maintaining appropriate tension of the backing paper. This effectively balances the rotational resistance of the sticker roll and the tightness of the backing paper, preventing sticker jamming or peeling failure due to friction or looseness during sticker roll rotation. As a result, it can maintain stable sticker output and improve sticker output efficiency.

[0092] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The positioning member is provided with at least one elastic arm, one end of which is fixedly connected to the positioning member, and the other end forms a free end, and the free end is provided with at least one elastic protrusion; an elastic space is formed on the inner side of the elastic arm for elastic deformation.

[0093] The elastic arm refers to a strip-shaped structure with one end fixed to the positioning element and the other end capable of elastically swinging. It can be implemented using a cantilever beam structure, generating clamping force through elastic deformation. The elastic arm can be positioned in various ways; for example, it can extend along the axis of the sticker roll, radially, or obliquely. The number of elastic arms can be determined according to actual needs. The free end of the elastic arm can have one, two, or more elastic protrusions. The elastic space refers to the space inside the elastic arm that allows it to move. When the elastic arm protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the positioning element, this elastic space can be the gap area between the elastic arm and the positioning element. When a groove or through-hole is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning element, and the elastic arm is positioned within this groove or through-hole, the groove or through-hole forms an elastic space, providing displacement space to accommodate the deformation of the elastic arm. The elastic deformation characteristics of the elastic arm can be adapted to the center positioning hole of sticker rolls of different sizes, improving equipment compatibility. At the same time, the clamping force of the elastic protrusion on the sticker roll can be controlled by adjusting the position of the elastic arm, so as to adjust the pressure of the elastic protrusion on the sticker roll to the optimal state.

[0094] When the sticker roll is fitted onto the positioning component, the elastic protrusion is compressed by the wall of the positioning hole in the center of the sticker roll, forcing the elastic arm to deform elastically in the direction of the elastic space. The reaction force generated by this deformation keeps the elastic protrusion in contact with the hole wall, forming a dynamically balanced clamping state. During this process, the amount of elastic deformation of the elastic arm is determined by the assembly clearance between the sticker roll and the positioning component. This solution transforms rigid contact into elastic contact through the cooperation of the elastic arm and the elastic protrusion, and reduces the rotational frictional resistance of the sticker roll through localized contact. This achieves the effect of dynamically adjusting the clamping force during the rotation of the sticker roll, preventing the sticker roll from increasing rotational resistance due to over-clamping and avoiding the loosening of the backing paper due to insufficient clamping. This ensures the rotational stability of the sticker roll, thus maintaining stable sticker output and improving sticker output efficiency.

[0095] In one embodiment, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the winding mechanism has a winding peripheral wall for winding the liner paper; the winding mechanism includes a first winding member and a second winding member detachably connected on its rotation axis, the outer peripheral walls of the first winding member and the outer peripheral walls of the second winding member together forming the winding peripheral wall.

[0096] The winding perimeter refers to the perimeter surface used to wrap the backing paper after the sticker has been peeled off. If the winding perimeter is a complete cylindrical outer perimeter, the backing paper, after the sticker has been peeled off, is tightly wrapped around the winding perimeter, making it impossible to quickly remove the backing paper roll from the winding perimeter. It can only be removed by completely tearing the backing paper apart, which is extremely inconvenient. This solution separates the winding mechanism into two detachable independent components, allowing the first and second winding components to combine and form the winding perimeter. When the sticker roll needs to be replaced, separating the first and second winding components allows the center of the backing paper roll to loosen, meaning the backing paper will not be tightly adhered to either the first or second winding component, thus allowing the backing paper roll to be quickly removed from the winding mechanism.

[0097] Furthermore, the first winding member includes a plurality of first rods arranged circumferentially around the winding mechanism, and the second winding member includes a plurality of second rods arranged circumferentially around the winding mechanism. The plurality of first rods and the plurality of second rods are spaced apart, and the outer peripheral walls of the plurality of first rods and the plurality of second rods together form a winding peripheral wall. In this way, while ensuring that the liner paper is reliably wound around the outer periphery of the first and second rods, the contact area between the winding mechanism and the liner paper can be further reduced, so as to facilitate the rapid removal of the liner paper from the winding mechanism.

[0098] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
