[0028] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This application relates to a label supply device, which includes: a base body 1, a cavity 2 with an upward opening at the bottom end of the base body 1, a rotating drum 3 disposed in the cavity 2 of the base body 1, a drive mechanism disposed at the top inner side of the base body 1, a rotating wheel disposed on the drive mechanism, and an outlet hole 4 disposed at the front side of the top end of the base body 1; the label is output from the rotating drum 3, passes through the rotating wheel, and exits from the outlet hole 4. Specifically, the base body 1, as the main body of this utility model, is used to support the entire device. The base body 1 is a three-dimensional square, and an upward-opening cavity 2 is provided at the bottom end of the base body 1. The cavity 2 is used to accommodate the rotating drum 3. An arc-shaped ramp curving downward from the bottom end of the cavity 2 to the middle is provided on the bottom side of the cavity 2. The rotating drum 3 is circular. Thus, during operation, because the ramp inside the cavity 2 is arc-shaped, it will not affect the rotation of the rotating drum 3. The drive mechanism is located at the top of the inner side of the base body 1, and a rotating wheel is provided on it. When powered on, the drive mechanism drives the rotating wheel to rotate. The outlet hole 4 is located at the front of the top of the base body 1 and is used to output labels. When it is necessary to supply labels to the label machine, the rolled label is placed on the rotating drum 3, and one end of the label is inserted from the top of the cavity 2 and connected to the rotating wheel. Thus, during operation, the rotation of the drive mechanism drives the rotating wheel on it to rotate, and the label is led out of the outlet hole 4 with the rotation of the rotating wheel. The label can then be discharged from the rotating drum 3 and output from the outlet hole 4.

[0029] As can be seen from the above description, this application achieves the following technical effects: In this embodiment, a label is supplied to the label machine by rotating a drive mechanism. A base body 1 has an upward-opening cavity 2 at its bottom. A rotating drum 3 is located within the cavity 2 of the base body 1. A drive mechanism is located at the top inner side of the base body 1. A rotating wheel is mounted on the drive mechanism. An outlet hole 4 is located at the front top of the base body 1. The label passes through the rotating drum 3, the rotating wheel, and exits through the outlet hole 4. This achieves the goal of label supply using only the base body 1 and the drive mechanism, thereby reducing the use of complex parts and simplifying the structure of the label supply device. This also solves the technical problem of numerous adjusting parts and complex structure in label supply devices.

[0030] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the cavity 2 on the base body 1 is a square cavity. Fixing grooves 5 are provided on the left and right walls of the square cavity. Preferably, two fixing grooves 5 and a fixing rod 6 are arranged opposite each other inside the cavity 2. The two ends of the fixing rod 6 pass through the rotating cylinder 3 and respectively overlap the two fixing grooves 5. The two fixing grooves 5 are used to fix the fixing rod 6. When the rotating cylinder 3 needs to be placed, first pass the fixing rod 6 through the rotating cylinder 3, and then place the two ends of the fixing rod 6 on the fixing grooves 5 on the left and right walls of the square cavity. In this way, the rotating cylinder 3 can be placed in the cavity of the base body 1. 2. In this embodiment, the rotating wheel on the base body 1 is set on the drive mechanism on the front side of the base body 1. Preferably, the rotating wheel is pivotally connected to the base body 1 and driven to rotate by the drive mechanism. The rotating wheel is fixed by pivoting and will not affect the operation of the rotating wheel. When working, the drive mechanism drives the rotating wheel to rotate, and the introduced label is driven to be output. An outlet hole 4 is provided on the front side of the top of the base body 1. Preferably, the outlet hole 4 is rectangular and has a groove on its bottom side. The rectangle facilitates the output of the label, and the groove on the bottom side of the outlet hole 4 helps to make the position of the label output more stable and uniform.

[0031] Example 3 Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment, in addition to the basic body 1, also includes: a dividing plate 7, disposed beside the outlet hole 4; used to receive and place labels output from the outlet hole 4. Preferably, the dividing plate 7 is provided with two first fixing holes 8, and the upper surface of the dividing plate 7 is provided with several identical strip-shaped grooves; the strip-shaped grooves facilitate the stable placement of the labels and also make it easier for the label machine to pick up the labels placed on the dividing plate. The two first fixing holes 8 are used to fix it to the support 9. Preferably, it also includes: a support 9, which is used to support the dividing plate 7, and the support 9 has two height adjustment holes 11 on both sides for adjusting the height of the support 9; preferably, the support 9 also includes: a frame 10, the top side of the frame 10 is fitted into the bottom side of the dividing plate 7, and one side of the frame is provided with two second fixing holes 12. The platform 10 has a distance adjustment hole 13 in the middle for adjusting the distance between the support 9 and the base body 1. When the label supply device needs to be activated, the platform 10 is first fixed on the support 9. Fasteners are then passed through the height adjustment hole 11 in the middle of the platform 10 and through the two second fixing holes 12 to fix it. In this way, the platform 10 can be fixed on the support 9. When the height of the platform 10 needs to be adjusted, the fasteners can be adjusted to the required height at the position of the height adjustment hole 11. Then, the bottom side of the dividing plate 7 is embedded into the top side of the platform 10. Fasteners are then passed through the distance adjustment hole 13 and through the two first fixing holes 8 to fix it. In this way, the dividing plate can be fixed on the platform 10. When the distance between the dividing plate 7 and the base body 1 needs to be adjusted, the fasteners can be adjusted to the required distance at the position of the distance adjustment hole 13 to fix it.
