Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chrysanthemum production technology, specifically to a labeling device for chrysanthemum cans. Background Technology

[0002] In chrysanthemum production and packaging, trial-sized products serve as an important vehicle for brand promotion and market expansion. Their packaging not only needs to meet basic protection and containment functions, but also plays a key role in brand promotion and product information transmission. Trial-sized cans filled with chrysanthemums are a common form of promotion for flower tea products. Due to their small size and diverse distribution scenarios, they have specific requirements for bottom labeling. By attaching labels containing brand logos, product selling points, and drinking instructions to the bottom of the cans, the packaging space can be fully utilized to achieve promotional purposes.

[0003] The labeling of the chrysanthemum-filled trial cans is primarily done manually. Workers must hold the cans and carefully affix the labels to the bottom. This process is not only labor-intensive but also extremely inefficient. Given the growing market demand for trial cans, this speed is far from sufficient. Manual labeling also makes it difficult to ensure consistent label placement. Due to differences in hand strength and operating habits, labels may be crooked or misaligned, severely impacting the product's aesthetics and brand image. Consumers receiving poorly labeled trial cans are likely to doubt product quality, thus reducing their brand affinity. This inconsistency also makes the products appear cluttered and disorganized when displayed, failing to create a unified and standardized visual effect, which is detrimental to product promotion and sales in the market.

Multiple clamping parts are mounted on the top of the upper plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping part is a clamping cylinder, and a clamping block is fixed to the clamping end of the clamping cylinder. The opposite side of the clamping block has a V-shaped opening, and a concave plate is fixed to the bottom of the clamping block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The labeling device for this chrysanthemum-shaped can uses a transfer component to move trial-size cans with glue applied to the bottom, and then invert them onto a receiving station and a rotating table to complete the can loading and unloading.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-7This embodiment of a labeling device for chrysanthemum cans includes an operating table 1. The operating table 1 is equipped with a transfer assembly 2, three sets of receiving stations 3 that cooperate with the transfer assembly 2, and a set of rotating tables 5. The receiving stations 3 and rotating tables 5 are arranged sequentially from left to right. A label feeding assembly 4 is also installed, which connects to the third receiving station 3 from left to right. The transfer assembly moves the cans, which are reversed, sequentially to the receiving stations to complete different process operations, including adhesive dispensing. When the cans reach the third receiving station, the label feeding assembly affixes the label to the bottom of the can, with the can opening downwards and the bottom upwards.

[0024] like Figure 4-6 The placement station 3 includes a vertical block 32 fixed on the operating table 1. A column 34 is fixed to the top of the vertical block 32. Two sets of side blocks 33, distributed on the front and rear sides of the column 34 and facing each other, are fixed to the top of the first and second vertical blocks 32. A spring plunger 35, opposite to the column 34, is installed on the opposite side of each side block 33. The column 34 and the side blocks 33 form a placement space for the chrysanthemum can, with the can's opening facing downwards. During movement, the column can be inserted into the can to limit its position, and the spring plunger 35 can clamp the chrysanthemum can, achieving stable clamping of the chrysanthemum can and preventing displacement during processing.

[0025] like Figure 2 The transfer assembly 2 includes a transfer frame 21 fixed on the operating table 1. A linear module 22 is mounted on the front of the transfer frame 21. A transverse plate 23 is fixed to the moving end of the linear module 22. An upper cylinder 24 is mounted on the front of the transverse plate 23, and an upper plate 25 is slidably connected and fixed to the piston rod of the upper cylinder 24. At least five clamping parts 26 are mounted on the top of the upper plate 25. The linear module 22 enables precise lateral movement of the transverse plate 23, and can move the clamping parts 26 to different placement stations 3 and above the rotary table 5 to complete the transfer of chrysanthemum cans. The upper cylinder 24 adjusts the height of the clamping parts 26 to facilitate clamping and placing of chrysanthemum cans. Multiple clamping parts 26 can transfer multiple chrysanthemum cans simultaneously, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0026] The clamping part 26 is a clamping cylinder 261. A clamping block 262 is fixed to the clamping end of the clamping cylinder 261. The opposite side of the clamping block 262 is V-shaped, and a concave plate 263 is fixed to the bottom of the clamping block 262. The V-shaped clamping block 262 can adapt to the shape of the round chrysanthemum can, increase the clamping contact area, improve the clamping stability, and prevent the chrysanthemum can from slipping during transportation. The concave plate 263 can play a limiting role to avoid damage to the can by excessive clamping force.

[0027] like Figure 3-5The label feeding assembly 4 includes a mounting frame 42 fixed on the operating table 1, a feeding section mounted on the front of the mounting frame 42, and a pressing section mounted on the mounting frame 42 and located above the third set of receiving stations 3. A docking guide plate 43, L-shaped and capable of docking with the feeding section and the third set of receiving stations 3, slides on the mounting frame 42. The right side of the docking guide plate 43's cross-section can fit against the feeding section. A translation section is mounted on the operating table 1 to drive the docking guide plate 43 to move. A pushing section extending into its guide channel is mounted on the docking guide plate 43. The L-shaped docking guide plate 43 can accurately dock the feeding section with the receiving station 3, ensuring the stability of the label conveying path. The translation section can drive the docking guide plate 43 to move flexibly, adapting to different working state switching. The pushing section can accurately push the label to the designated position at the bottom of the tank, laying the foundation for subsequent pressing and labeling.

[0028] The feeding unit includes a vibrating table 41 mounted on the operating table 1. A guide plate 415 is fixed to the top of the vibrating table 41 and can align with the feed inlet of the docking guide plate 43. The left side of the guide plate 415 can be attached to the right side of the docking guide plate 43. The vibrating table 41 enables automatic label sorting and feeding, eliminating the need for manual label arrangement and saving labor costs. The guide plate 415 guides the labels precisely into the docking guide plate 43, preventing label offset and jamming during initial conveying and improving feeding efficiency. Simultaneously, the translation unit pushes the docking guide plate to move. When the docking guide plate resets, it can align with one side of the guide plate, thus providing a limit and assisting in the precise docking of the guide plate and the docking guide plate.

[0029] like Figure 5 The translation unit includes a pusher cylinder 44 mounted on the operating table 1. An elongated hole is provided on the upper frame 42. The piston rod of the pusher cylinder 44 is fixed with a pusher block located in the elongated hole and connected to the docking guide plate 43. Using the pusher cylinder 44 as the drive source provides stable power output and rapid response, enabling precise control of the moving distance and position of the docking guide plate 43. The elongated hole provides guidance for the pusher block, ensuring the smoothness of the sliding process of the docking guide plate 43 and preventing shaking that could affect the label conveying accuracy.

[0030] The pushing unit includes a label-pushing cylinder 45 mounted on the docking guide plate 43, and a label-pushing block 46 slidably connected to and fixed to the piston rod of the label-pushing cylinder 45. A label-pushing rod 47, which slides within the guide channel of the docking guide plate 43, is fixed to the bottom of the label-pushing block 46. The label-pushing cylinder 45 drives the label-pushing block 46 and the label-pushing rod 47, providing a stable and adjustable pushing force. This ensures that the label is smoothly and accurately pushed to the bottom of the chrysanthemum can at the receiving station 3. The label-pushing rod 47 slides within the guide channel, avoiding interference with other components and ensuring the accuracy of the pushing direction.

[0031] like Figure 4The pressing part includes a frame 48 fixed to the tail end of the upper frame 42. A bottom push cylinder 49 is installed on the right side of the frame 48. A bottom push plate 410 is fixed to the top end of the bottom push cylinder 49. A guide cylinder 411 is fixed to the bottom of the bottom push plate 410, and an ejection cylinder 412 is installed on the top. The piston rod of the ejection cylinder 412 passes through the guide cylinder 411, and a push protrusion 413 located above the third set of placement stations 3 is fixed to its bottom end. The bottom push cylinder 49 can adjust the overall height of the push protrusion 413 to adapt to the labeling requirements of chrysanthemum cans of different sizes. The ejection cylinder 412 provides precise pressing force, which, together with the push protrusion 413, can tightly adhere the label to the bottom of the chrysanthemum can, avoiding problems such as label lifting and air bubbles, and ensuring labeling quality. The guide cylinder 411 guides and protects the piston rod of the ejection cylinder 412, extending the service life of the components.

[0032] The top of the third upright block 32 and the opposite side of the pusher block 413 are both fixed with a counterpost 414. When the pusher block is pressed down, the two counterposts will come into contact, thereby playing a limiting role and preventing damage to the tank due to excessive downward pressure.

[0033] Additionally, a limiting cylinder 31 is installed on the left side of the third upright block 32. Two sets of limiting posts 431 are fixed to the bottom of the docking guide plate 43. When the docking guide plate is pushed to its limit position, the limiting posts are located inside the clamping end of the limiting cylinder 31 and are in conjunction with the limiting cylinder 31. The limiting cylinder 31 and the limiting posts 431 cooperate. When the limiting posts move to the inside of the clamping end of the limiting cylinder, the limiting cylinder operates, driving the clamping end to clamp the limiting posts. This ensures that the docking guide plate moves to a precise position and prevents the labels from moving and affecting the labeling accuracy when they are pushed onto the can.

[0034] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0035] Three sets of placement stations and one set of rotary tables are arranged from left to right, providing a working platform for different processes of the chrysanthemum cans. The first and second placement stations form a placement space through the columns and side blocks on the top of the upright blocks. When the can is placed, the columns are inserted into the can to achieve radial limiting, and the spring plungers on the side blocks clamp the can simultaneously to prevent displacement during processing. In addition to the basic limiting function, the third placement station is also equipped with column alignment and limiting cylinders, which are used for pressure limiting during labeling and position fixing of the docking guide plate, respectively, to provide stable conditions for the labeling process. The transfer assembly drives the transverse plate to make precise lateral movement through the linear module on the transfer frame, placing the upper top plate. Multiple clamping units on the upper plate are transferred to the target position. The upper cylinder can adjust the height of the upper plate. When the can needs to be clamped, the upper cylinder drives the clamping unit to descend. The clamping cylinder uses a V-shaped clamping block to fit against the surface of the circular can, increasing the contact area to ensure clamping stability. The concave plate at the bottom acts as a buffer and limit to prevent excessive clamping force from damaging the can. After clamping, the upper cylinder resets, and the linear module moves the can to the corresponding placement station or rotary table. After the transfer is completed, the clamping unit is released, achieving stable placement of the can. After the vibration table starts, the labels are automatically sorted and arranged. The labels are accurately conveyed to the feed port of the docking guide plate through the label guide plate. The label is aligned with the right side of the docking guide plate to ensure a smooth label conveying path. The shifting cylinder of the translation section drives the shifting block to slide along the elongated hole of the upper frame, moving the L-shaped docking guide plate to its limit position for docking with the third set of receiving stations. At this point, the limiting post at the bottom of the docking guide plate enters the clamping end of the limiting cylinder, the limiting cylinder is activated and clamps the limiting post, fixing the position of the docking guide plate and preventing displacement during labeling. The label pushing cylinder of the pushing section drives the label pushing block to move, causing the label pushing rod to slide along the guide channel of the docking guide plate, smoothly pushing the label to the designated position at the bottom of the tank on the third set of receiving stations. The bottom pushing cylinder of the pressing section drives the bottom pushing plate to descend, adjusting the pushing protrusion to the closing position. At the appropriate height, the cylinder pushes the piston rod through the guide cylinder, causing the pusher block to press the label downwards. During the pressing process, the counterpost on the pusher block contacts the counterpost on the top of the third upright block, achieving pressure limiting to avoid damaging the can body. At the same time, it ensures that the label is tightly attached to the bottom of the can body, completing the labeling operation. After labeling is completed, the limiting cylinder releases the limiting post, and the pushing cylinder drives the docking guide plate to reset and re-attach to the guide plate, preparing for the next label conveying. The transfer component operates again, transferring the labeled can body to the rotary table or other subsequent workstations, while simultaneously conveying new can bodies to be processed to the first set of receiving workstations, entering the next processing cycle, realizing continuous production.
