Description

Automatic Label Output Machine

The present invention relates to a label automatic dispenser, and more particularly, to a label automatic dispenser, which is equipped with a label automatic transfer device, is equipped with a sensor for detecting the transfer of the label, and that the label is automatically discharged to the outlet.

Usually, a tape combined label is used a lot in department stores and supermarkets.

The labels are usually used both as a trademark and at the same time serve as a tape, and many have only a tape function.

In addition, the label is attached to the label separator is a label separator attached to the label separator in a large amount, the operator detaches the labels from the label bundle one by one to attach to a predetermined portion of the product.

Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional label 11 attaching process will be schematically described.

The label separator 10 has a lower plate 15 on which the label 11 attached to the paper 12 fed into the label separator 10 is placed, and an upper plate 14 pressing the label 11 so as not to lift. A guide roller 19 for guiding the blank paper 12 to be smoothly conveyed between the upper plate 14 and the lower plate 15, and a driving shaft 16 for conveying the label 11. The guide shaft 17 is installed next to the drive shaft 16.

The lower end of the guide shaft 17 is supported by a spring 18 to apply a pressing force to the drive shaft 16 to press the blank paper 12 between the drive shaft 16 and the guide shaft 17 to drive the drive shaft. The paper 12 is conveyed when the 16 is rotated. In addition, the surfaces of the drive shaft 16 and the guide shaft 17 are made of rubber or knurled to facilitate the transfer of the paper 12 so that the paper 12 does not slip when the drive shaft 16 is rotated. It can be transferred without.

Attachment of the label 11 of the label separator 10 configured as described above allows the operator to put the label 11 attached to the paper 12 into the label separator 10 and the empty paper 12 to drive the shaft 16. And the guide shaft 17, the paper is guide roller 19 when the drive shaft 16 is properly turned so that the label 11 properly exits between the upper plate 14 and the lower plate 15 by hand. The direction is switched to move downward by the label, the label 11 is separated from the paper 12. At this time, the guide roller 19 is an idle roller without a driving force.

Thus, the worker removes the label 11 separated from the paper 12 and attaches it to a predetermined part of the product as described above.

However, such an apparatus having the configuration as described above has been very inconvenient because it is necessary to manually rotate the drive shaft 16 to take out the label.

In particular, because the characteristics of the label can be withdrawn only one by one, in order to take out a plurality of labels, when one label is taken out, the drive shaft is manually rotated again to take out the label to the outlet, and one label is taken out to the outlet again. It was very inconvenient to do.

The present invention is to solve the above problems,

It is an object of the present invention to provide a convenient label dispenser for adding a device for automatically extracting a label so that the next label is located at the exit as soon as the label is removed.

In addition, the present invention has another object to have a function of automatically withdrawing the label only when the switch is pressed.

As a means for achieving the above object,

The present invention is installed on the driven shaft is free to rotate, the label reel is wound around the labeling paper on the outer periphery; A label support part installed at a label outlet side to easily separate a label from the labeling paper, and controlling a drawing angle of the label; A paper reel for winding out the paper from which the label is separated; A motor coupled to the center of the paper reel to forcibly rotate the paper reel in a predetermined unit; A first optical sensor installed at a path through which the label passes, for recognizing the label; A second optical sensor installed at the outlet of the housing and sensing whether the label is drawn out to the outlet; The rotation of the motor is commanded to read the presence of the label from the second optical sensor and output the label when there is a label switching signal and the label is not present at the same time. It is characterized by including a controller for stopping.

In addition, the label support is characterized in that the jaw of a constant height is formed so that the label is easily separated from the paper.

In addition, a label pressing means for pressing the paper with the label is further formed on the outlet side of the label.

In addition, it is characterized in that it further comprises a guide means installed for a smooth flow of the labeling paper.

In addition, the controller has a built-in program for continuously discharging the label to the outside when the automatic switching signal is input.

3 is an enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 2;

4 is an embodiment of the present invention.

5 is a circuit block diagram of the present invention.

6 is an embodiment of the appearance of the present invention,

First, the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2, the present invention consists of a paper reel 120 in which a label reel 110 and a driving motor 150 are installed on a driven shaft.

The label reel 120, in which the driven shaft is installed, is wound with a label-labeled paper, and the label reel 120 is a passive element and does not rotate by itself, but only as long as it is released when the label 130 is detached. It will rotate about the driven shaft.

The labeling paper 130 released from the label reel 120 is connected with the paper reel 120 so that only the paper 130 is wound back with the paper reel 120, and the motor 150 is attached to the paper reel 120. Is installed is to actively rotate the paper reel 120.

The label retracting means is installed between the label reel 110 and the paper reel 120 is a structure that is drawn out to the outside through the label outlet 101, so that the label 140 is separated from the paper reel 120 Only pure paper 130 is wound.

The motor 150 flows at regular intervals as a step motor, and when the paper reel 120 moves, the label reel 110 rotates by the distance the paper is moved.

At this time, if the label reel 110 is too loose, the paper may move more distance than the distance that the paper has moved so that the labeling paper 130 may be loosened, so that only the distance that the paper has been moved by the driven shaft and proper tightening may be rotated. Adjust so that

In order to pull out the label 140, the labeling paper 130 should have a sharp angle of bending, and as an auxiliary device for labeling, the label supporting unit 180 is installed at the outlet side.

Then, when the labeling paper 130 is directed to the paper reel through the label support unit 180, the label 130 goes out to the outer outlet 101 and the paper 130 is wound to the paper reel 120.

The reason why the label 140 is easily discharged to the outside is that the label 140 is harder than the paper 130 and the paper 130 is softer, so that the paper 130 is disposed at the end of the label support 180. When the label 140 is suddenly bent to the paper reel 120, the label 140 moves in a straight line and is discharged to the outlet.

Since the basic concept of the label support unit 180 is also used in a manual label dispenser, further description thereof will be omitted.

The label support unit 180 of the present invention is to form a step 181 in this basic structure further bar, when forming the step 181 as in the present invention, the label 140 goes through the step and lifts up the effect Thereby, the withdrawal of the label 140 becomes easier.

Of course, the label support unit 180 can be pulled out of the label 140 without separately installing the label support unit 180 because the label-attached paper has to be moved with a sharp angle of bending as described above.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the steep slope of the housing may be used without installing a separate label support, and in this case, the pressing plate 190 may be further attached to apply an appropriate tension.

In the present invention, 160 and 200 are auxiliary devices for smoothly moving the paper 130 as a guide means.

In the present invention, as the sensing means, there is a first optical sensor 170 installed on the road where the label 140 passes and a second optical sensor 210 installed at the outlet of the label.

The first optical sensor 170 detects the presence or absence of the label 140 as light and transmits the light to the controller 220, and the controller 220 responds to the output signal of the first optical sensor 170. It is possible to control the rotation of the 150.

In addition, the second optical sensor 210 is installed on the exit side to sense that the label 140 is protruding to the exit and when the user withdraws the label 140 immediately recognizes it and outputs it to the controller 220.

Then, the controller 220 outputs a motor rotation signal so that the next label 140 pops out to the exit, and stops the rotation of the motor 150 when the presence of the next label 140 is sensed by the first optical sensor 170. Let's do it.

As described above, when the next label 140 is read by the first optical sensor 170 and the motor rotation is stopped, the label 140 protruding to the exit becomes an easy-to-use state by the user. The second optical sensor 210 detects this and outputs it to the controller 220. Then, the controller 220 rotates the motor 150 again to control the next label 140 to be output.

The first optical sensor 170 typically reads the label 140 of the opaque material. When the label 140 of the transparent material is attached to the paper, the first optical sensor 170 performs opacity marking on the paper 130 and marks the marking. The first optical sensor 170 may be read.

As a result, the present invention can be used regardless of whether the label 140 is an opaque material or a transparent material, and thus can be used without any inconvenience even when using a transparent tape of a standard used in a bank or a stock market.

On the other hand, the rotating shaft of the motor 150 is coupled to the shaft of the paper reel 120, and rotates the motor 150 when the motor rotating shaft rotates at the same time the paper reel is rotated.

Since the structure in which the motor and the paper reel are coupled to rotate is a known technique, further description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the switch of the present invention is provided with an automatic switch 230 and a manual switch 240, when the automatic switch 230 pushes the label 140 immediately after the label 140 is ejected to the outlet The controller 220 controls to exit, and when the manual switch 240 is pushed, the controller 220 controls the next label 140 to protrude to the exit only when the switch is pressed.

The reason why it is installed to have both control as described above is that when the label is continuously used, it is preferable that the label 140 always protrudes to the exit and immediately placed in the commercial standby state, and when only a few labels 140 are used. This is because it is desirable to keep the label in use waiting inside.

Therefore, in the case of using the automatic label dispenser 100 of the present invention, if the automatic switch 230 is turned on when the automatic mode is operated as necessary, the next label pops out immediately as soon as the label sticks out. It can be used continuously, and when the manual switch 240 is turned on, it is very convenient because the label can be used to pop out only when the switch is pressed.

As described above, by using the present invention, the label is automatically drawn out, thereby providing a more convenient use of the label.

In addition, the use mode is set to manual and automatic, there is an advantage that can be operated in the automatic mode when using a large amount in a short time and in the manual mode when using a small amount.

In addition, even when using transparent tapes in banks and securities, it is also possible to install tapes on paper at regular intervals, and to eject them one by one using this apparatus.

Although the present invention has been described in connection with the above-mentioned preferred description, various other modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the appended claims may be determined to include such modifications and variations as fall within the true scope of the present invention.
