Modular Label Stripping Machine with Automatic Tension Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional label stripping apparatuses are inconvenient to repair and restrict users from selecting suitable label reel sizes and types, with label tape often becoming slack during use, requiring frequent repositioning.
Innovation Solution
An automatic label stripping machine with a modular design featuring a base with a side plate, a reel shaft rod with rollers, a label stripping unit composed of a guide plate, press plate, and winding shaft rod, along with a control unit and sensing system, allowing for easy installation and automatic detection of label lengths and sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the reel support frame and label stripping unit are assembled in the housing, then the label stripping function is integrated, but the device becomes inconvenient to repair and maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate modular components: the reel support frame can be independently removed from the housing, and the label stripping unit is positioned as a separate assembly. This segmentation allows individual components to be accessed, repaired, or replaced without disassembling the entire device, resolving the contradiction between integration and ease of repair.
2Device complexity
If the reel support frame and label stripping unit have fixed specifications, then the structure is simplified, but users cannot select label reels and labels of suitable length and size
Solution Approach 1:
The reel support frame is designed with universal adaptability to accommodate label reels of various sizes and specifications. The frame structure allows users to install different types of label reels and adjust the label stripping unit accordingly, enabling the same device to handle multiple label sizes and types without requiring multiple specialized devices.
3Productivity
If the label tape is wound on the label tape reel during use, then labels can be continuously supplied, but the label tape becomes slack and requires frequent resetting and repositioning
Solution Approach 1:
The label stripping unit is pre-positioned and pre-adjusted to the correct stripping position before operation begins. The guide plates and pressing elements are configured in advance to maintain proper label tape tension and alignment. This preliminary setup ensures that as labels are continuously supplied from the reel, the tape remains properly positioned without requiring frequent manual intervention for resetting or repositioning.
