Solution Overview

Problem

Existing label peeling machines are unable to efficiently peel adhesive labels from non-liner labels without using release coated paper, resulting in industrial waste and environmental concerns.

Innovation Solution

A label peeling machine with a reel, carrier belt, drive motor, sensors, and a peeling claw that peels adhesive labels one by one, eliminating the need for release coated paper by using a carrier belt with a right-angled triangular shape and a peeling claw with a curved surface, along with adjustable sensors to accommodate labels of varying lengths.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a release coated paper is used to peel adhesive labels, then the peeling process is simple and reliable, but industrial waste is generated and environmental sustainability is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepeeling reliabilityVSAvoidindustrial waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts and eliminates the release coated paper from the peeling system. Instead of peeling labels from a release paper, the labels are directly peeled from the non-liner label material itself, removing the source of industrial waste while maintaining peeling functionality through the specialized carrier belt and peeling claw design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the physical parameters of the peeling system by using a carrier belt with specific triangular geometry and a peeling claw with curved surface geometry. These parameter changes enable direct peeling from non-liner labels without release paper, transforming the peeling mechanism from a simple pull-off to a controlled mechanical separation process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of substance

If a non-liner label without release coated paper is used, then industrial waste is reduced and environmental sustainability is improved, but existing peeling machines cannot process it

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindustrial wasteVSAvoidmachine compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention creates a universal peeling machine design that can handle non-liner labels without release paper. The carrier belt system with triangular geometry and the curved peeling claw provide a multi-functional platform that adapts to different label configurations, making the machine compatible with environmentally friendly labeling systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces a carrier belt as an intermediary element between the label roll and the peeling claw. This mediator provides the necessary mechanical support and geometric configuration to enable peeling of non-liner labels, bridging the gap between the label material and the peeling mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If sensors and control mechanisms are added to support non-liner labels, then adaptability to varying label lengths is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelabel length adaptabilityVSAvoidmachine structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention implements a feedback control system using sensors to detect label position and length. The sensors provide real-time information to the control mechanism, which adjusts the carrier belt operation and peeling claw positioning accordingly, enabling adaptability to varying label lengths through continuous monitoring and adjustment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces dynamic elements including movable sensors that can be positioned at different locations and a control system that dynamically adjusts operation based on detected label characteristics. This dynamic capability allows the machine to adapt to different label configurations without requiring complete redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A label peeling machine is configured to one by one peel adhesive labels of a non-liner label having a number of adhesive labels stuck continuously so as to be overlapped while being shifted by a predetermined width. The non-liner label wound and held on a reel is placed on a carrier belt entrained about a first driven shaft, a second driven shaft, and a third driven shaft and is moved forward or backward. The label peeling machine includes a first sensor for causing the carrier belt to move backward, a second sensor for stopping the carrier belt, a peeling claw for engaging the non-liner label moving upward along the drive belt and peel the adhesive labels one by one, and a control apparatus configured to control a switch, the first sensor and the second sensor.
