Here, the fixed label attaching drum 100 is supported by a first rotating shaft 110 penetrating the upper and lower parts in order to attach the label (L) to the container.

This fixed label attachment drum 100 is located on one side of the device, and both sides of the first rotation axis 110 are fixed by the frame 300, which will be described later.

Additionally, the fixed label attachment drum 100 is supported by the first rotation shaft 110 and is rotatable.

The movable label attaching drum 200 is supported by a second rotating shaft 210 penetrating the upper and lower parts in order to attach a label (L) to the container.

This movable label attachment drum 200 is located on the other side of the device, and both sides of the second rotation axis 210 are fixed by a support member 500, which will be described later.

Additionally, the movable label attachment drum 200 is supported by the second rotation shaft 210 and is rotatable.

Frame 300 is an L-shaped frame.

One side of the frame 300 fixes the first rotation axis 110, and the other side extends in the horizontal direction.

At this time, the frames 300 are located on both sides of the device (multiple positions) and fix both sides of the first rotation axis 110, respectively.

On one side of the frame 300, a through hole is formed into which the first rotation shaft 110 is inserted and fixed.

Accordingly, both sides of the first rotation shaft 110 are respectively inserted and fixed into the through-hole formed in this way, and the fixed label drum 100 is rotatably supported.

The bracket 400 is formed in a U shape.

In this bracket 400, the other side and the side of the frame 300 are coupled to each other using nuts and bolts.

At this time, the bracket 400 is coupled to the upper surface of the other side of the frame 300 at a predetermined interval.

The reason why the bracket 400 and the other upper surface of the frame 300 form a predetermined gap is because a space must be formed for inserting the protrusion 520 of the support member 500, which will be described later.

In the present invention, for ease of explanation, the coupling between the bracket 400 and the frame 300 is explained as an example of coupling using nuts and bolts, etc., but it is not limited thereto, and the coupling between the bracket 400 and the frame 300 is not loosened. Any member may be used.

In addition, the above-mentioned brackets 400 are formed so that the plurality of brackets 400 can be respectively coupled to a plurality of frames 300.

Meanwhile, a plurality of holes 410 are formed at predetermined intervals on the connection surface connecting the side surfaces of the bracket 400, that is, on the top surface.

The convex portions 520 of the support member 500, which will be described later, are inserted into these plural holes 410.

Accordingly, the hole 410 may be formed to penetrate the connection surface, that is, the upper surface, of the bracket 400, or may be formed in the shape of a blind via hole in which the upper part of the connection surface is formed in a concave shape.

The support member 500 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 8 .

The convex portion 520 of the support member 500 can be inserted into various holes by the plurality of holes 410 formed in this way, and this does not limit the size of the container to which the label L is attached, and A container transport device and a drum transport device that can attach labels to photo containers are formed.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing a movable labeling drum in a semi-automatic labeler according to the present invention, and Figure 8 is a diagram showing a movable labeling drum and a support member in a semi-automatic labeler according to the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the semi-automatic labeler 1000 according to the present invention includes a support member 500, and the support member 500 has a through hole 510 on one side and a protrusion on the other end surface. It has (520).

The second rotation axis 210 of the movable label attachment drum 200 described above is inserted into the through hole 510, and the protruding portion 520 is inserted into the plurality of holes 410 described above.

In particular, the protrusion 520 can be inserted into the hole 410 at a position corresponding to the container among the plurality of holes 410 according to the size of the container to which the label L is attached.

Therefore, the convex portion 520 of the support member 500 can be inserted into various holes by the plurality of holes 410 formed in this way, and this does not limit the size of the container to which the label L is attached. In addition, a container transfer device and a drum transfer device that can attach labels to inclined containers are formed.

Meanwhile, since the convex portion 520 of the support member 500 inserted into the plurality of holes 410 does not fit with the hole 410, even when the convex portion 520 is inserted into the hole 410 The convex portion 520 is rotatable.

The effect of this will be described later.

Next, a method for using the semi-automatic labeler 1000 according to the present invention will be described.

The user sets the label (L) to be supplied through the label supply device and sets the container to be supplied through the container supply device.

Next, the convex portion 520 of the support member 500 is inserted into a preferred hole 410 among the plurality of holes 410 so that the labeling drum corresponds to the size of the supplied container.

Of course, the support member 500 is also inserted so that both sides of the second rotation axis 210 of the movable label attaching drum 200 are inserted into the through hole 510.

With the convex portion 520 of the support member 500 inserted into the hole 410 desired by the user, the second rotation axis 210 of the movable label attachment drum 200 is inserted into the through hole of the plurality of support members 500. Insert each into (510).

As a result, setting of the label attachment drum 200 for attaching the label L to the container is completed.

Thereafter, the semi-automatic labeler 1000 is operated to sequentially attach labels (L) to each of the plurality of containers.

In addition, the semi-automatic labeler 1000 according to the present invention has the protrusion 520 of the support member 500 inserted into the hole 410 so that the movable label attachment drum 200 and the fixed label attachment drum 100 are positioned in parallel. You can.

As the movable label attachment drum 200 and the fixed label attachment drum 100 are positioned in parallel, labels (L) can be attached to containers of various sizes.

Due to the nature of the existing semi-automatic labeler, the container for attaching the label (L) is supplied to the bottom of the device, so the label (L) can be attached only to containers of limited size.

However, the semi-automatic labeler 100 according to the present invention can attach a label (L) to containers of various sizes.

When attaching a label (L) to a supplied container, the label (L) can be attached to containers of various sizes due to the configuration in which the top of the semi-automatic labeler (1000) is open.

More specifically, by placing the label attachment part for attaching the label (L) at the top of the semi-automatic labeler (1000), the label (L) can be attached to containers of various sizes from 15 ϕ to 300 ϕ.

Meanwhile, in the semi-automatic labeler 1000 according to the present invention, the protrusion 520 of the support member 500 is inserted into the hole 410 so that the movable label attachment drum 200 and the fixed label attachment drum 100 are positioned non-parallel. It can be.

Existing semi-automatic labelers can only attach labels (L) to straight containers (i.e., containers without irregularities).

In other words, labels could not be attached to inclined containers such as round containers (e.g., wine bottles, etc.).

However, in the semi-automatic labeler 1000 according to the present invention, the movable label attachment drum 200 and the fixed label attachment drum 100 are positioned not parallel, so that when attaching a label (L) to a container, the container and the label (L) are separated. The contact area for attachment has been expanded, allowing the gabbel to be attached even to inclined containers.

More specifically, since the convex portion 520 of the support member 500 inserted into the plurality of holes 410 does not fit with the hole 410, the convex portion 520 is inserted into the hole 410. Even in this state, the convex portion 520 can rotate.

As a result, even if the movable label attaching drum 200 and the fixed label attaching drum 100 are positioned non-parallel and the gap between the rollers is widened differently, the convex portion 520 of the support member 500 turns the angle to move the second rotation axis. (210) may be inserted into the through hole 510 of the support member 500.

That is, by turning the angle of the support member 500 itself by the convex portion 520 of the support member 500, the second rotation axis 210 is aligned to be inserted into the through hole 510, so that the gap is adjusted to suit the inclined container. There is no problem at all in opening it and adjusting the angle.

Meanwhile, the semi-automatic labeler 1000 according to the present invention is provided with a label coated with adhesive on the outer surface of the fixed label attaching drum 100, and the label (L) is attached to the container surface by rotation of the fixed label attaching drum 100. It may include a support portion 600 that supports the label (L) to be attached.

This support portion 600 serves to support the label (L) so that the label (L) can be easily attached to the surface of the container.

In this way, according to the present invention, labels can be attached to a wide range of containers from small to large containers, and labels can also be attached to inclined containers.
