Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of printing consumables production equipment, and in particular to a labeling machine for ink cartridges. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of printing consumables production, ink cartridges, as one of the core consumables, require labeling as a crucial process to ensure product information traceability, brand identification, and compliant sales. With the increasing scale of ink cartridge production and the diversification of product models, the industry has placed higher demands on the versatility, efficiency, and accuracy of labeling equipment.

[0003] Currently, mainstream ink cartridge labeling equipment typically employs a labeling structure where a single label type corresponds to a single ink cartridge model, which presents significant technical bottlenecks. On one hand, this type of equipment has low labeling efficiency, making it difficult to simultaneously label multiple ink cartridges, thus hindering the overall capacity improvement of the production line. On the other hand, when production scenarios require the application of multiple labels—such as simultaneously affixing anti-counterfeiting and information labels to a single ink cartridge, or affixing different types of labels to different ink cartridges—existing solutions often require two or more labeling machines to operate collaboratively. This approach not only increases equipment investment and floor space costs but also leads to cumbersome operating procedures and extended operation times due to frequent switching and adjustments. Furthermore, issues such as repetitive positioning and mechanical errors further reduce labeling accuracy and stability.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cartridge labeling machine that is compatible with multiple labels, supports efficient parallel labeling, and can adapt to various production environments. Utility Model Content

The frame is vertically mounted above the base and located around the feeding conveyor line; the label feeding device and the labeling device are mounted on the frame. The label feeding device includes a raw material roller and a feeding guide roller; the raw material roller and the feeding guide roller are fitted with limiting rings, which are used to divide the raw material roller and the feeding guide roller into several feeding channels; the raw material roller can be fitted with multiple label rolls, which are separated by the limiting rings. The labeling device includes a lateral telescopic mechanism, a labeling movable seat, and a longitudinal labeling mechanism; the label roll passes through the labeling movable seat and can move with the labeling movable seat; the lateral telescopic mechanism is used to move the labeling movable seat closer to or away from the underside of the longitudinal labeling mechanism; the longitudinal labeling mechanism is located above the labeling working area and is used to hold the label from the labeling movable seat and affix it to the ink cartridge in the labeling working area.

[0007] Optionally, the labeling device includes a horizontal guide plate; the horizontal telescopic mechanism is disposed below the horizontal guide plate; the labeling movable seat is arranged side by side with the horizontal guide plate, and the upper surface is flush with it.

[0008] Optionally, the frame is provided with several elastic pressure plates; the elastic pressure plates are used to press the label roll onto the feeding guide roller, the transverse guide plate, or the labeling movable seat.

[0009] Optionally, the frame is provided with a flattening pressure plate; the flattening pressure plate is located on the side of the transverse guide plate facing the labeling movable seat, and is used to flatten and press the label roll onto the transverse guide plate.

[0010] Optionally, a return guide roller is provided below the labeling movable seat; a take-up roller is provided at the end of the lateral telescopic mechanism away from the labeling movable seat; the label roll passes through the front end of the picking movable seat, wraps around the return guide roller downwards, and is then wound onto the take-up roller.

[0011] Optionally, the frame is provided with two raw material rollers; the two raw material rollers are respectively configured with a plurality of feeding guide rollers; the feeding channels of the two raw material rollers are staggered in the axial direction of the raw material rollers.

[0022] Example Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention proposes a labeling machine for use with ink cartridge 70, comprising: a base 10, a frame 20, a feeding conveyor line 30, a feeding positioning device 40, a label feeding device 50, and a labeling device 60. The feeding conveyor line 30 is set on the machine base 10 and is provided with a labeling channel 31; the ink cartridge 70 is placed in the labeling channel 31 and can be fed forward along the feeding conveyor line 30; the feeding positioning device 40 is used to position the ink cartridge 70 in the labeling working area of ​​the labeling channel 31. The frame 20 is vertically mounted above the base 10 and located around the feeding conveyor line 30; the label feeding device 50 and the labeling device 60 are mounted on the frame 20. The label feeding device 50 includes a raw material roller 51 and a feeding guide roller 52; a limiting ring 53 is sleeved on the raw material roller 51 and the feeding guide roller 52, and the limiting ring 53 is used to divide the raw material roller 51 and the feeding guide roller 52 into several feeding channels; the raw material roller 51 can be sleeved with multiple label rolls 80, which are separated by the limiting ring 53. The labeling device 60 includes a lateral telescopic mechanism 61, a labeling movable seat 62, and a longitudinal labeling mechanism 63; the label roll 80 passes through the labeling movable seat 62 and can move with the labeling movable seat 62; the lateral telescopic mechanism 61 is used to move the labeling movable seat 62 closer to or away from the underside of the longitudinal labeling mechanism 63; the longitudinal labeling mechanism 63 is located above the labeling work area and is used to hold the label from the labeling movable seat 62 and affix it to the ink cartridge 70 in the labeling work area.

[0023] This utility model specifically addresses the technical pain points of existing labeling equipment, such as poor versatility, low labeling efficiency, insufficient accuracy, and high equipment investment costs. It achieves comprehensive technical advantages, including multi-label compatibility, efficient parallel labeling, and adaptation to multi-model production. The specific beneficial effects are as follows: 1. The label feeding device 50 divides the roller body into several independent feeding channels by setting limiting rings 53 on the raw material roller 51 and the feeding guide roller 52. This allows a single raw material roller 51 to simultaneously feed multiple label rolls 80 of different types or specifications. It can meet the needs of "single ink cartridge 70 multiple label application" or "multiple ink cartridge 70 differentiated label application" without the need for additional labeling equipment. This reduces equipment procurement costs and space occupation, and solves the cumbersome problem of multiple machines needing to work together in multi-label scenarios in traditional technology.

[0024] 2. The labeling device 60 adopts a combined structure of "lateral telescopic mechanism 61 + labeling movable seat 62 + vertical labeling mechanism 63". The lateral telescopic mechanism 61 can drive the labeling movable seat 62 to accurately approach or move away from the bottom of the vertical labeling mechanism 63. Together with the vertical labeling mechanism 63, it can achieve precise connection from label feeding to labeling. At the same time, the feeding and positioning device 40 can stably restrict the ink cartridge 70 in the labeling working area, avoid the ink cartridge 70 from shifting during the labeling process, effectively solve the problem of low labeling accuracy caused by repeated positioning and mechanical errors in traditional equipment, and significantly improve the flatness and information alignment of label application.

[0025] In this embodiment, the labeling device 60 includes a transverse guide plate 64; a transverse telescopic mechanism 61 is disposed below the transverse guide plate 64; and a labeling movable seat 62 is arranged side by side with the transverse guide plate 64, with its upper surface flush. The transverse guide plate 64 provides stable conveying support for the label roll 80, and the labeling movable seat 62 is arranged side by side with the transverse guide plate 64 and maintains its upper surface flush, ensuring that the label roll 80 has a smooth and stepless conveying path during the process of being conveyed from the transverse guide plate 64 to the labeling movable seat 62. This effectively avoids problems such as jamming, wrinkling, or offset of the label roll 80 due to sudden changes in the path, ensuring the straightness and stability of the label conveying, and laying the foundation for accurate labeling in the future. At the same time, the transverse telescopic mechanism 61 is disposed below the transverse guide plate 64, making reasonable use of the space layout, avoiding mechanical interference, and improving the compactness of the equipment structure.

[0026] In this embodiment, the frame 20 is equipped with several elastic pressure plates 21. The elastic pressure plates 21 are used to press the label roll 80 onto the feeding guide roller 52, the transverse guide plate 64, or the labeling movable seat 62. The elastic pressure plates 21 can elastically press the label roll 80 onto the surface of the feeding guide roller 52, the transverse guide plate 64, or the labeling movable seat 62. On the one hand, this can effectively prevent the label roll 80 from slipping, jumping, or shifting position during high-speed conveying, ensuring the synchronization and accuracy of label feeding. On the other hand, the elastic pressure of the elastic pressure plates 21 can adapt to label rolls 80 of different thicknesses without the need for manual adjustment of the pressing force, enhancing the equipment's compatibility with labels of different specifications, while avoiding label damage caused by rigid pressing and reducing label loss rate.

[0027] Furthermore, the frame 20 is equipped with a flattening pressure plate 22; the flattening pressure plate 22 is located on the side of the transverse guide plate 64 facing the labeling movable seat 62, and is used to flatten and press the label roll 80 onto the transverse guide plate 64. The flattening pressure plate 22 is located on the side of the transverse guide plate 64 facing the labeling movable seat 62, and can force the label roll 80 to flatten and press it before it enters the labeling movable seat 62, effectively eliminating defects such as wrinkles and curling of the label roll 80 caused by storage or transportation, and ensuring that the label remains flat before being picked up and applied.

[0028] In this embodiment, a return guide roller 54 is provided below the labeling movable seat 62; a take-up roller 55 is provided at the end of the lateral telescopic mechanism 61 away from the labeling movable seat 62; the label roll 80 passes through the front end of the picking movable seat, wraps downward around the return guide roller 54, and is then wound onto the take-up roller 55. The return guide roller 54 and the take-up roller 55 form a complete label backing paper recycling path. After the label roll 80 releases the label through the labeling movable seat 62, the backing paper can be orderly wound onto the take-up roller 55 by the guidance of the return guide roller 54, realizing the automated recycling of the backing paper. This avoids problems such as equipment entanglement and a messy working environment caused by the random scattering of the backing paper, eliminating the need for frequent machine shutdowns for cleaning and ensuring the continuity of the labeling operation.

[0029] In some embodiments, the frame 20 is provided with two raw material rollers 51; each of the two raw material rollers 51 is correspondingly equipped with a plurality of feeding guide rollers 52; the feeding channels of the two raw material rollers 51 are staggered in the axial direction of the raw material rollers 51. The design of the two raw material rollers 51, combined with the staggered arrangement of the feeding channels, can simultaneously accommodate more types or larger batches of label rolls 80, meeting more complex labeling scenarios (such as a single ink cartridge 70 requiring the application of 3 or more types of labels, or the differentiated label requirements of multiple parallel production lines), further expanding the versatility of the equipment; on the other hand, the staggered feeding channels can prevent different label rolls 80 from tangling or interfering during the conveying process, ensuring the independence and stability of the parallel conveying of multiple labels.

[0030] In this embodiment, the feeding and positioning device 40 includes several positioning cylinders 41 disposed on both sides of the feeding conveyor line 30, and positioning baffles disposed at the output ends of the positioning cylinders 41, for positioning the ink cartridges 70 at intervals in the labeling work area. The combination structure of the positioning cylinders 41 on both sides and the positioning baffles can quickly achieve clamping and positioning of the ink cartridges 70 in the labeling channel 31 through cylinder drive, ensuring that the spacing of multiple ink cartridges 70 in the labeling work area is uniform, the position is accurate and stable, and avoiding the offset of ink cartridges 70 caused by vibration or friction during the conveying process, thus providing a reliable positioning guarantee for the synchronous labeling of multiple ink cartridges 70; the flexible driving method of the positioning cylinders 41 can adapt to ink cartridges 70 of different models and sizes, and only the spacing of the positioning baffles needs to be adjusted to meet diverse production needs, without the need to replace the positioning mechanism, thus enhancing the multi-model adaptability of the equipment.

[0031] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
