(49) Further, the transmitting mechanism is a gear train transmitting mechanism including multiple gears coupled to each other, which is configured to connect the operating member 41 and the winding shaft 140 in a transmission, and to transmit the power output from the operating member 41 to the winding shaft 140 in order to drive the winding shaft 140 to rotate. The transmitting mechanism includes a one-way clutching device, which is configured to be coupled when the operating member 41 is moved in the first direction to implement the power transmission, and to be uncoupled when the operating member 41 is moved in the second direction opposite to the first direction to disconnect the power transmission. In some embodiments, the transmitting mechanism includes a driven gear 44 fixed relative to the winding shaft 140, an actuating gear 42 driven in engagement with the rack portion 412 of the operating member 41, and a movable gear 43 disposed between the driven gear 44 and the actuating gear 42. Specifically, the transmitting mechanism includes the actuating gear 42 located upstream of and remaining coupled to the movable gear 43 in the power transmission direction, and the driven gear 44 located downstream of and detachably coupled to the movable gear 43 in the power transmission direction.
(50) A gear shaft of the actuating gear 42 is non-translatably connected to the housing 1, and the actuating gear 42 is only capable of rotating about the axis of its gear shaft and is not movable in its axial and radial directions. In the embodiments, the actuating gear 42 is a double-layered tower gear having a small-diameter toothed disk 421 and a large-diameter toothed disk 422 that are arranged coaxial, the small-diameter toothed disk 421 of the actuating gear 42 being engaged with the rack portion 412 of the operating member 41, and the large-diameter toothed disk 422 of the actuating gear 42 being engaged with the movable gear 43. In other embodiments, the large-diameter toothed disk 422 may be understood as an actuating gear, and the small-diameter toothed disk 421 as a first gear further included in the transmitting mechanism and coupled to the rack portion 412, the first gear and the actuating gear are coaxially disposed. The diameter D of the actuating gear is greater than double the diameter d of the first gear.
(51) The movable gear 43 is configured to be movable between a coupled position and a detached position. i.e. a gear shaft of the movable gear 43 is translationally connected to the housing 1, while the movable gear 43 is also rotatable about an axis of its gear shaft. An end of the gear shaft of the movable gear 43 is connected to a bottom wall of the main body shell 11 and the other end of the gear shaft of the movable gear 43 is connected to the lower cover 13. Specifically, the bottom wall of the main body shell 11 defines an upper elongate slot (Not shown in the figures) configured for an upper end of the gear shaft of the movable gear 43 to be inserted and slide therein: the lower cover 13 defines a lower elongate slot 131 configured for a lower end of the gear shaft of the movable gear 43 to be inserted and slide therein. The upper elongate slot and the lower elongate slot 131 are opposite each other in the top-bottom direction, forming guide slots for the rotation shaft of the movable gear 43 to be inserted into and to slide within. When the rack portion 412 of the operating member 41 is engaged with the movable gear 43, the movable gear 43 can be pushed to slide along the guiding slot. When the movable gear 43 slides to the coupled position, it can engage with the driven gear 44. When the movable gear 43 slides to the detached position, it can disengage with the driven gear 44.
(52) In some embodiments, the one-way clutching device includes the movable gear 43 and a force-applying member 45. The movable gear 43 is resiliently pushed against by the force-applying member 45, and the force-applying member 45 is configured to apply a resilient force to hold the movable gear 43 in the coupled position. When the operating member 41 moves in the second direction from the second position to the first position, the operating member 41 drives the movable gear 43 to overcome the resilient force and to slip to the detached position. The force-applying member 45 may be a torsion spring or a resilient sheet, with a resilient arm that abuts against the movable gear 43 to exert the resilient force. In the embodiments, the force-applying member 45 is a torsion spring having two resilient arms, one of which abuts against the movable gear 43 and the other abuts against the housing 1. In the embodiments, the spring force of the force-applying member 45 is overcome to separate the movable gear 43 from the driven gear 44. In other embodiments, the force-applying member 45 is configured to apply a resilient force for the movable gear 43 to remain in the detached position, and the operating member 41 drives the movable gear 43 to overcome the resilient force to slide to the coupled position when the operating member 41 moves in the first direction from the first position to the second position: herein when the operating force is released, the movable gear 43 is separated under the action of the spring force of the force-applying member 45. For the above mentioned embodiments, the force-applying member 45 instantly drives the movable gear 43 to the detached position from the driven gear 44 when the external force on the operating member 41 is removed, such that the separation is timelier and the driven gear 44 can be better avoided from being driven to rotate in reverse. Further, there exists a small slip distance for the movable gear 43 to move from the detached position to the coupled position during the movement of the operating member 41 in the first direction, and the driven gear 44 is not driven in the slip distance. i.e. there exists a small empty travel distance of the operating member 41. In some embodiments, the reset spring 413 provides a resilient resetting force greater than the resilient force applied to the movable gear 43 by the force-applying member 45.
(53) In some embodiments, the movable gear 43 is a double-layered tower gear having a small-diameter toothed disk 431 and a large-diameter toothed disk 432 that are arranged coaxial, the small-diameter toothed disk 431 of the movable gear 43 being engaged with the driven gear 44, and the large-diameter toothed disk 432 of the movable gear 43 being engaged with the large-diameter toothed disk 422 of the actuating gear 42. The provision of the actuating gear 42 and movable gear 43 may serve to amplify the fact that the rotation angle of the actuating gear 42 is less than the rotation angle of the driven gear 44 during the movement of the operating member 41 from the first position to the second position.
(54) The driven gear 44 is coaxially and relatively fixedly connected to the winding shaft 140. In the embodiment, the driven gear 44 is connected to the winding shaft 140 by a coupling mechanism. Specifically, a gear shaft of the driven gear 44 is arranged with a polygonal post, and a lower end of the winding shaft 140 is arranged with a polygonal sleeve, the polygonal post being inserted into the polygonal sleeve to realize a relative fixation of the polygonal post and the polygonal sleeve in a rotation direction.
(55) Referring to
(56) Referring to
(57) It should be noted that the present embodiment is illustrated with the movable gear 43 and the driven gear 44 is able to be disengaged as an example, and it can be understood that in other embodiments, it is sufficient to arrange such that a disengagement is feasible at any position in the transmission chain between the operating member 41 and the winding shaft 140. It should also be noted that, in the present embodiment, the switching between engagement and disengagement is achieved by translation of the movable gear 43, which in other embodiments can be achieved by means of a ratchet structure. For example, in some embodiments, the one-way clutching device is a one-way bearing, i.e. an overrunning clutch, which is coupled to a transmitting gear within the transmitting mechanism. The one-way bearing is free to rotate in one direction independently of the winding shaft 140. While in the other direction opposite, the one-way bearing is locked to the winding shaft 140 and both rotate in synchronization.
(58) As can be seen from the above preferred embodiments, the present disclosure provides a manual sticker dispenser A including a winding shaft 140, a transmitting mechanism, and an operating member 41. The operating member 41 is configured to be driven by an operating force to move in a first direction, and is configured to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the operating force is released. During a movement of the operating member 41, a continuous power transmission chain is formed between the operating member 41, the transmitting mechanism, and the winding shaft 140, to drive the winding shaft 140 to rotate and wind the liner paper. During a movement of the operating member 41 in the second direction, the one-way clutching device disconnects the power transmission, which avoids driving the winding shaft 140 in reverse. Therefore, the output of stickers may be realized by manually applying force on the operating member 41, without using electrical components, thereby reducing costs and enhancing operability and entertainment.
(59) Referring to
(60) The electric sticker dispenser B comprises a housing 2, an electric motor 5, a winding shaft 240, a transmitting mechanism 53, a power switch 51, and an activation assembly 52. A turn-peeling portion 243, a sticker guide portion 242, and a liner paper guide portion 244 are all disposed on the housing 2. The following describes each component of the electric sticker dispenser B in detail.
(61) Referring to
(62) The housing 2 has an extension shell 241 protruding into the first chamber 24. The extension shell 241 is configured as a downward-opening cylindrical structure. Specifically, the extension shell 241 extends upward from the base wall of the main body shell 21, forming an opening at its connection with the base wall to allow at least a portion of the electric motor 5 to be inserted through the opening into the extension shell 241, thereby extending into the first chamber 24. The shape and dimensions of the extension shell 241 are configured to accommodate the sticker roll 81 being sleeved over it while allowing rotational movement around the extension shell 241. Specifically, the sticker roll 81 is provided with a central positioning hole 82, and the extension shell 241 is configured to extend through the central positioning hole 82 for positioning the sticker roll 81. The radial dimension of the extension shell 241 is smaller than that of the central positioning hole 82 to ensure the sticker roll 81 can be properly sleeved over the central positioning hole 82. In some embodiments, the radial dimension of the central positioning hole 82 is configured to be significantly larger than that of the extension shell 241, enabling the sticker roll 81 to become eccentrically offset relative to the extension shell 241 when the wound liner paper 812 and stickers 811 are reduced, thereby facilitating sticker 811 conveyance. The extension shell 241 is formed as a substantially cylindrical sleeve to allow rotational movement of the sticker roll 81 about the extension shell 241, an accommodation is provided on the extension shell 241, configured to form a pickup space (not shown in the figures) between itself and the wall surface of the central positioning hole 82, allowing the sticker roll 81 to be grasped and removed from the pickup space. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the electric motor 5 is disposed within the extension shell 241, which is configured as a cylindrical sleeve with a vertical planar surface on its peripheral wall to facilitate alignment and installation with the electric motor 5. The vertical planar surface forms the accommodation. The electric motor 5 is provided with a positioning portion (e.g., a planar surface on the motor's peripheral wall) corresponding to the accommodation, wherein the positioning portion engages with the accommodation to circumferentially fix the electric motor 5 relative to the extension shell, thereby securing the electric motor 5 in position within the extension shell 241. In some embodiments, the electric sticker dispenser B adopts a whistle-like configuration. When viewed along the sticker conveying direction from upstream to downstream, the external contour of electric sticker dispenser B is configured with gradually decreasing dimensions.
(63) Referring to
(64) Referring to
(65) Furthermore, the light-shielding portion 63 is formed at the edge of the output port 210 and extends from the output port 210 toward the photoelectric device 6. The surface of the light-shielding portion 63 opposite to the adhesive side of the stickers 811 is provided with an anti-adhesion portion 631, which consists of ribs or protrusions whose tops are formed with cutting edges.
(66) The main body shell 21 houses an operation circuit board internally, with the photoelectric device 6 mounted on the operation circuit board. A cover plate 61 is installed on the main body shell 21 to shield the operation circuit board, featuring an avoidance hole 62 that exposes the photoelectric device 6 by providing accommodation. The avoidance hole 62 prevents the photoelectric device 6 from being obstructed by the cover plate 61. The cover plate 61 covers most areas of the operation circuit board, thereby providing protective functionality for the circuit board.
(67) The electric sticker dispenser C provided in this embodiment incorporates a photoelectric device 6 positioned adjacent to the output port 210 for detecting sticker output information, thereby enhancing intelligent control and notification capabilities of the electric sticker dispenser B. The electric sticker dispenser C includes a light-shielding portion 63 configured to block external light from entering the photoelectric device 6 through the output port 210, preventing interference with detection accuracy. This configuration ensures more precise detection, avoids erroneous judgments, and improves the accuracy of intelligent control and notifications in the electric sticker dispenser B.
(68) Referring to
(69) The liner paper 812 comprises a base material 8122 and a release layer 8121 thereon. The base material 8122 may include, but is not limited to, conventional kraft paper, offset paper, glassine paper, translucent or transparent paper, fabric, or plastic film. The release layer 8121 may include, but is not limited to, various organic or inorganic release treatment agents with release properties such as silicone resins or non-silicone compounds, applied as single-sided or double-sided coatings. The liner paper 812 is integrally formed as an elongated strip without tear lines or perforations, and can be wound from one end along the longitudinal axis of the strip to form the sticker roll 81 with a central positioning hole 82. A plurality of stickers 811 are peelably adhered to the liner paper 812, spaced apart along the winding direction, wherein the winding direction refers to outward winding forming the sticker roll 81 with the stickers 811 positioned on the outer side of the roll, such that the outermost layer of the sticker roll 81 exposes the face stock layer 8111.
(70) Referring to
(71) Furthermore, the upper plate 91 and lower plate 92 may be discrete components, with the sleeve column 93, sticker conveying section 95, and turn-peeling portion 96 arranged therebetween. At least one of the sleeve column 93, sticker conveying section 95, or turn-peeling portion 96 is provided with snap hooks, snap grooves 930, positioning protrusions, or positioning recesses 9501, while the upper plate 91 or lower plate 92 is provided with mating parts configured to engage or interlock with said snap hooks, snap grooves 930, positioning protrusions, or positioning recesses 9501.
(72) In some embodiments, taking as an example the configuration where the sleeve column 93, sticker conveying section 95, and turn-peeling portion 96 are all integrally formed with the lower plate 92, the lower plate 92 is implemented as a horizontally extended thin plate with the sleeve column 93, sticker conveying section 95, and turn-peeling portion 96 all vertically extending upward from the thin plate. The lower plate 92 along with the sleeve column 93, sticker conveying section 95, and turn-peeling portion 96 are all plastic components that can be manufactured through integrated injection molding.
(73) In some embodiments, the sleeve column 93 is configured as a hollow cylinder with snap grooves 930 provided on its peripheral wall. The sticker roll carrier 9 further includes an inner limiting portion 950 positioned between the upper plate 91 and lower plate 92 on the inner side of the sticker output path. The inner limiting portion 950 is formed as a hollow triangular prism vertically extending upward from the lower plate 92, with its upper triangular opening constituting the positioning recess 9501. The hollow triangular prism configuration is merely exemplary, where both the base edge of the triangular prism and the sticker conveying section 95 are disposed on opposite sides of the conveying path, forming an upstream limiting structure for the liner paper 812 and sticker 811 conveyance path between the sticker conveying section 95 and the prism's base edge.
(74) In some embodiments, the turn-peeling portion 96 comprises an outer limiting portion 960 and a guide structure 961, both formed as plate-like structures vertically extending upward from the lower plate 92. A peeling point is created at the junction between the outer limiting portion 960 and the guide structure 961, where the conveying direction of both the sticker 811 and liner paper 812 changes to establish a structure enabling their separation. Specifically, after the winding shaft 94 is fixed to the other end of the liner paper 812, it provides tension to advance the liner paper 812 along the conveying path. Under this tension, the liner paper 812 first travels from the inner limiting portion 950 toward the sticker conveying section 95, proceeds past the sticker conveying section 95 to reach the junction point, where its direction changes toward the winding shaft 94, ultimately being wound onto the winding shaft 94 to form the liner paper roll 83. The tension provides a peeling force at the peeling point, where this peeling force exceeds the second adhesive strength. Since the remaining portion of the sticker 811 has not yet reached the peeling point, it continues to receive tension from the liner paper 812 along the conveying path, maintaining the sticker's forward movement through either pulling or pushing forces. At the peeling point, the liner paper 812 and sticker 811 begin separating due to their divergent travel directions. The peeling force refers specifically to the force perpendicular to the adhesive layer 8112.
(75) In some embodiments, the outer limiting portion 960 and the guide structure 961 form an acute-angle configuration designed to generate effective peeling force. It should be understood that the vertically extending plate-like structures are merely exemplary, as any configuration of the outer limiting portion 960 and guide structure 961 that alters the travel direction of the liner paper 812 to create a peeling point at their junction, thereby producing peeling force to initiate separation between the liner paper 812 and sticker 811 at this point, falls within the scope of the present disclosure. As illustrated in
(76) In some embodiments, as shown in

(80) Referring to
(81) After the sticker roll carrier 9 is assembled into the first chamber 34 of the housing 3, the insertion mating portion 321 on the upper cover 32 is tilted and inserted into the insertion positioning portion 311 of the housing 3. Then, pressing the end of the upper cover 32 where the clastic snap-fit portion 322 is located causes the clastic snap-fit portion 322 to engage with the snap-fixing portion 312, completing the assembly. For disassembly, pressing the clastic snap-fit portion 322 allows the upper cover 32 to be lifted, enabling the sticker roll carrier 9 inside the first chamber 34 to be removed and replaced. Furthermore, an clastic ejection component may be provided inside the housing 3 to partially eject the sticker roll carrier 9 when the snap engagement between the upper cover 32 and the housing 3 is released, facilitating its removal.
(82) In some embodiments, the housing 3 comprises an outer shell and a lower cover 33. The outer shell includes a peripheral side wall 313 and a partition wall 341, with the peripheral side wall 313 being provided with a output port 310. The partition wall 341 is disposed between the upper and lower edges of the peripheral side wall 313 to enclose a first chamber 34 above the partition wall 341 and a second chamber 35 below the partition wall 341. The second chamber 35 accommodates a driving mechanism 10 for rotating the winding shaft 94, while the lower cover 33 is mounted to cover the lower edge of the peripheral side wall 313.
(83) In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 10 is a manually operated mechanism comprising a toggle lever, a gear set driven by the toggle lever, a clutch, a reset component, and other associated parts. Pressing the toggle lever drives the winding shaft 94 to rotate, thereby winding the liner paper and enabling the peeling of stickers.
(84) Referring to
(85) In the sticker dispenser of the present disclosure, the sticker roll carrier 9 does not serve as an exterior surface component but functions solely to support the sticker roll 81 and facilitate sticker 811 dispensing. This design allows for greater material selection flexibility in manufacturing the sticker roll carrier 9 and permits reduced production precision, thereby lowering costs. When the sticker roll 81 is exhausted, users simply need to open the top cover 32, replace the used sticker roll carrier 9 with a new one, and then reclose the top cover 32. As part of the exterior assembly, the top cover 32 remains in permanent use without replacement, minimizing the number of components requiring replacement during sticker roll changes and further reducing operational costs.
(86) Referring to
(87) During assembly of the sticker dispenser in this embodiment, first install the sticker roll carrier 9 into the first chamber 34 of the housing 3. Then press the top cover 32 downward onto the opening of the first chamber 34. During this pressing operation, the snap-fit mating component 324 pushes against the sloped surface of the snap-fit component 344, causing it to move laterally and compress the spring. When the retention groove on the snap-fit mating component 324 aligns with the snap-fit component 344, the snap-fit component 344 resets under spring force and engages with the retention groove, thereby securing the top cover 32 in place. For disassembly, actuate the operation button 343 to disengage the snap-fit component 344 from the snap-fit mating component 324, allowing removal of both the top cover 32 and the sticker roll carrier 9 from the first chamber 34. Optionally: an clastic ejection component may be installed within the housing 3 to partially eject the sticker roll carrier 9 when the engagement between the top cover 32 and housing 3 is released, facilitating its removal.
(88) Referring to
(89) Through the description of the preferred embodiments above, it can be understood that the sticker dispenser with a sticker roll carrier provided in the present disclosure comprises a housing 3, a top cover 32, and a sticker roll carrier 9. The sticker roll carrier 9, carrying the sticker roll 81, is assembled within the first chamber 34 of the housing 3. The top cover 32 covers the opening of the first chamber 34 and is detachably connected to the housing 3 to retain the sticker roll carrier 9 within the first chamber 34. This configuration ensures the sticker roll carrier 9 does not serve as an exterior component but functions solely to support the sticker roll 81 and facilitate sticker dispensing. Consequently, the material selection for the sticker roll carrier 9 offers greater flexibility, and its manufacturing precision requirements can be reduced, thereby lowering production costs. When the sticker roll 81 is depleted, users simply need to open the top cover 32, replace the used sticker roll carrier 9 with a new one, and then reclose the top cover 32. As a permanent exterior component, the top cover 32 remains in long-term use without replacement, minimizing the number of components requiring substitution during sticker roll changes and further reducing operational costs.
(90) As mentioned above, the driving mechanism 10 can be either manually-operated or electrically-powered. For the manually-operated mechanism, the unmentioned portions in this embodiment are similar to those in the aforementioned embodiments and may be configured by referring to the manual sticker dispenser A. Regarding the electrically-powered mechanism, the unmentioned portions in this embodiment are similar to those in the previous embodiments and may be set up by referring to the electric sticker dispensers B and C. The identical aspects of the sticker roll carrier 9 across aforementioned embodiments will not be repeatedly described.
(91) It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments. According to the creative spirit of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art can also make other modifications, which should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. It should be noted that all modifications and substitutions equivalent to the embodiment should be included in the scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present disclosure shall be subject to the scope defined in the claims.
