In the present invention, it is preferable to further install a third conveyor belt 139 next to the second conveyor belt for the convenience of workers in the transfer unit 130.

Additionally, the present invention provides a method of operating the label punching device 100.

The operating method of the label punching device 100 according to the present invention is to place a plurality of label sheets 10 on the stacking table 113 and move the stacking table 113 from front to back through the guide 115. It includes a preparation step (S 210) for punching the label sheet, which is pushed in and the stacking table 113 is sensed by the limit switch 117.

The label sheet punching preparation step (S 210) may begin with placing a plurality of label sheets 10 on the stacking table 113. The label sheet 10 is made by printing a plurality of individual label stickers 20 on a single sheet, and then initially dividing each individual label sticker 20 around it by using a Thompson machine (not shown). This refers to a sheet on which the individual label stickers 20 can be separated by pressing them manually or mechanically by performing a cutting operation.

In the past, workers separated the label sheets (10) by pressing them one by one by hand. However, in the present invention, the label sheets (10) were placed on the stacking table (113) in multiple overlapping positions and mechanically separated. Pressure is applied to separate the individual label stickers (20). A plurality of punching holes 111 are formed in the stacking table 113, and each label sticker 20 formed on a plurality of label sheets can be punched one by one through the punching holes 111. It allows you to This means that the shape and number of the punching holes 111 are the same as the shape and number of the label stickers 20.

In the label sheet punching preparation step (S 210), when a plurality of label sheets 10 are placed on the stacking table 113, the stacking table 113 is pushed from the front to the back. At this time, the stacking table 113 is pushed along the guide 115 from the front where the worker is standing to the opposite side, the back. When the stacking table 113 is sufficiently pushed in, the limit switch 117 detects the approach of the stacking table 113 and transmits the detection signal to the control unit (C).

The method of operating the label punching device 100 according to the present invention punches the plurality of label sheets 10 at once by operating the control unit C and operating the upper and lower adjuster 121 and the press drive plate 125. It includes a label sticker punching step (S 220).

In the label sticker punching step (S 220), when the control unit (C) receives an approach signal of the stacking table 113 from the limit switch 117, the upper and lower controller 121 is operated. The vertical adjuster 121 is in the form of a small hydraulic cylinder and is a mechanical component that can move the stacking table 113 in the vertical direction. When an operation signal is received from the control unit (C), the vertical adjuster 121 pulls the stacking table 113 downward so that the stacking table 113 is close to the surface of the first conveyor belt 133. It allows you to position it.

In the label sticker punching step (S 220), when the stacking table 113 approaches the surface of the first conveyor belt 133, the control unit C operates the press driving plate 125. The press drive plate 125 rotates and causes the crankshaft to reciprocate in the up and down directions and moves the press plate 123 downward. When the press plate 123 moves downward, a plurality of pressure molds 124 press each label sticker 20 placed on the stacking table 113, and as a result, each punching hole 111 ), the label stickers 20 are punched separately. At this time, the separated label stickers 20 are stacked and placed on the surface of the first conveyor belt 133.

In the label sticker punching step (S 220), when the press plate 123 moves to the bottom and then moves upward, the punching operation is completed. After that, the control unit (C) controls the top and bottom adjuster (121). ) is operated again to move the stacking table 113 upward. In this case, it is desirable for workers to pull the stacking table 113 forward, take out the label sheets 10 remaining on the stacking table 113, and discard them to an external workplace.

The operating method of the label punching device 100 according to the present invention includes a first transfer step (S 230) of sequentially transferring label stickers placed on the surface of the first conveyor belt 133 backward.

In the first transfer step (S 230), after performing the label sticker punching step (S 220) described above, the first transfer motor 131 is operated by the control unit (C). The first transfer motor 131 allows the first conveyor belt 133 to rotate in an infinite orbit. When the conveyor belt 133 moves slowly, the upper conveyor belt slowly moves from rear to front, and the label stickers 20 placed on its surface gradually move from rear to front, and the label at the rearmost part moves slowly from rear to front. The stickers 20 sequentially move downward from the end of the first conveyor belt 133.

The operating method of the label punching device 100 according to the present invention is that each label sticker transported by the first conveyor belt 133 is maintained in a stopped state by the plate shutter 141, and in that state, It includes a step (S 240) of label stickers being stacked sequentially.

The label sticker stacking step (S 240) is a step in which each label sticker 20 transported by the first conveyor belt 133 is sequentially stacked. This stacking operation is made possible because each label sticker 20 transported by the first conveyor belt 133 cannot be moved by the plate shutter 141 and is maintained in a stationary state. While maintaining a temporarily stopped state, the first conveyor belt 133 continues to move the label stickers 20 placed on its surface backward, so the transferred label stickers 20 are First, they are stacked on top of the label stickers 20 that were placed in a stationary state. This stacking operation continues until the label stickers 20 at the front of the first conveyor belt 133 move backward and are placed on top of the previously stacked label stickers 20.

The operating method of the label punching device 100 according to the present invention includes a second transfer step of transferring the stacked label stickers 20 to the second conveyor belt 137 after the label sticker stacking step (S 240). S 250) is included.

The second transfer step (S 250) may be performed by transferring the label stickers 20 laminated by the stacking operation back to the rear after the stacking operation is completed. To this end, it is preferable that the control unit C operates the plate shutter 141 to allow the stacked label stickers 20 to move forward. In order to move the stacked label stickers 20 forward, the plate shutter 141 may perform an opening/closing operation in an up-and-down direction, or may perform an opening/closing operation through a rotational movement. In order to perform the task simply, it is more desirable to determine the open and closed positions through rotational movement. In the specification of the present invention, as the most preferred embodiment, a rotational movement method is shown, in which the control unit (C) moves the plate shutter 141 from the stop position to the open position to move each of the stacked label stickers to the second position. It shows how it is transported to the conveyor belt (137).

In the present invention, when the second transfer step (S 250) is completed, workers bundle each of the laminated label stickers transferred through the second conveyor belt 137 into one bundle and package them.

In the present invention, in order to enable workers to perform packaging work smoothly and more leisurely, it is preferable to further install the third conveyor belt 139 at the location after installing the second conveyor belt 137.

Label stickers in bundles packed by workers are attached to the surface of the product or placed on the product display stand and used as a product label or product introduction.
