Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a two-labeling machine that applies labels to containers, and more specifically, a labeling machine that can peel or cut labels and apply them continuously to containers without stopping. Regarding. .

Labeling machine that uses conventional tape labels
In this case, the labels are peeled off or cut intermittently according to the flow of the container one by one, and the labels are pasted one after another, so speeding up labeling requires various lengths. There was also a natural limit to the dual use of labels with different characteristics. In addition, since labels and containers move intermittently, the noise and vibration that occur when they move intermittently and stop may cause labels to be misplaced, worsen the work environment, or cause them to move intermittently. This has resulted in drawbacks such as failure of the labeling machine or loss of durability.

The present invention has been made to solve these drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a highly durable labeling machine that can perform labeling at high speed and accuracy, and can also be used with labels of different lengths.

The above object of the present invention is achieved by integrally interlocking the label feeding mechanism, label sticking mechanism, and container conveying mechanism of the labeling machine via a speed change mechanism.

In other words, in a labeling machine that attaches a label to a container according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, there is a label sending mechanism that sends out a label, a label is received from the label sending mechanism, the label is applied with pressure or heat, and the label is applied to the container at a predetermined position. For label pasting, the mechanism and the container transport mechanism that transports the container are linked together by a variable speed mechanism installed in either of these mechanisms, making it possible to continuously send out labels and paste them onto the container. This is a labeling machine.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the entire mechanism of an embodiment of the labeling machine of the present invention, which uses a pressure-sensitive self-label.

Peelable labels 2 coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive on a tape-shaped release mount 1 are sequentially attached along the longitudinal direction of the release mount 1. A peeling device 3 having a plate-shaped tip with an acute angle peels off the label 2 by folding back the release mount 1 at an acute angle as shown in the perspective view shown in FIG.
is pulled by the rotation of the feed roller 4 and the label 2
send out.

The peeled label 2 is conveyed to a predetermined position by a pressure roller 5 and affixed to a predetermined position on a container 8 conveyed by a star 6 and a conveyor 7. The pressure roller 5 may be provided with a suction device for conveying the label 2 and an opening/closing mechanism thereof.

Containers 8 transported by Conovair 7 are then adjusted to a constant transport pitch by Star B. Since the star 6, the feed roller 4, and the pressure roller 5 are interlocked by a transmission (not shown) installed in the star 6, the feed pitch by the feed roller 4 and the conveyance pitch by the pressure roller 5 are synchronized. The conveyance pitch by Star B is determined. As described above, since the present invention synchronizes the conveyance pitch of the container 8 according to the conveyance pitch and the conveyance pitch of the label 2, the transmission may be provided on the feed-off row 24 or the pressure roller. 6
As described above, since the container 8 is arranged at a fixed pitch, a device that performs the same role, such as a screw, is also used.Furthermore, if the feeding pitch and transportation pitch of the label 2 change, the star 6 The conveyance pitch of the container 8 can be synchronized according to the change by the transmission provided in the transmission.

The container 8 to which the label 2 has been affixed in this manner receives the pressure of the pressure roller 5 via the container 8 by the receiving plate 9.
It is transported again by the conveyor 7. Note that the container 8 may be of any type as long as it is possible to attach the label 2.
Preferably, it is a round container made of glass or synthetic resin.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the entire mechanism showing another embodiment of the labeling machine of the present invention. Since the container conveying mechanism is the same as that in FIG. 1, only the label feeding mechanism and label pasting mechanism will be explained.

The tape-shaped label 2 fed out by the feeding roller 4 is prevented from meandering by a guide 10, and further cut into a predetermined size by a cutter 11.

The cut tape 2 is conveyed by the pressure roller 5, heated or pasted at the end of the pressure roller 25, and then affixed to the Cc waste bin as shown in FIG. Also in this embodiment, since the feed roller 4, the pressure roller 5, and the star 6 are interlocked via the transmission, the conveyance pitch of the container 8 can be determined in synchronization with the feed pitch and conveyance pitch of the roll 2. Therefore, the labels 2 can be continuously sent out and attached to the containers 8.

The effects of the present invention as described above are as follows.

(1) Labels can be fed out continuously at high speed and affixed to containers by synchronizing the container conveying pinch with the label feeding pitch and conveying pitch (compared to about 300 labels/minute in conventional labeling machines). , in the labeling machine of the present invention, 6oo to 90
(2) Since the conveying pitch can be easily changed according to changes in the label sending pitch and conveying pitch, labels of different lengths can be used together.

(3) With conventional labeling machines, the labels and containers do not move intermittently, so the noise and vibration that occurs during intermittent progress and stoppage can cause labels to be pasted out of position or change the working environment. do not have.

(4) Since the labels and containers do not move intermittently, no breakdowns will occur due to this, and the durability of the casing will not be impaired.
