TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of stationery products, and more specifically to a sticker output box, a sticker dispensing device, and an attention training method for children

BACKGROUND

Sticker rolls are stationery products made from coiled strip material. The sticker roll includes a liner and a sticker, and the sticker is peelable and pasted onto the liner; the sticker includes an adhesive side and a printed side, the adhesive side having an adhesive and the printed side being pre-printed with symbols or patterns, etc. The sticker is often printed with various animals or other themes of interest to children, and thus many children enjoy collecting stickers and attaching them to books or textbooks, lunch boxes, and other items. However, in such an arrangement, the stickers tend to become dirty or accidentally adhere to other items.

In order to facilitate dispensing stickers, related art such as a Chinese patent application (Publication No. CN2280699Y) and a U.S. patent (Publication No. U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,008A) discloses a press-type sticker dispenser, which requires manually mounting a sticker roll to a support shaft, mounting a first section of the sticker roll to a corresponding channel, and actuating a friction wheel through a press rack, such that the friction wheel is driven by friction to drive the strip material to move.

Other related art, such as a Chinese patent application (Publication No. CN216003626U), discloses a sticker output box, which requires manually pulling the strip material to move during dispensing of the stickers and similarly, requires a first section of the sticker roll to be mounted to the corresponding channel in advance.

Other related art, such as a Korean patent (Publication No. KR101780438B1) disclosed a package sticker separator, which can realize automatic dispensing of stickers, while it is obviously not suitable for carrying around and similarly, requires a first section of the sticker roll to be mounted to the corresponding channel in advance. Therefore, the existing sticker dispensing devices have at least the technical problem of inconvenient replacement of the sticker roll.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to overcome the above deficiencies of the related art, and to provide a sticker dispensing device, a portable sticker dispensing device, and a sticker output box for dispensing stickers.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions adopted in the present disclosure are as follows:

A sticker output box, constructed to be detachably mounted to a box mounting structure of a sticker dispensing device; wherein a sticker is peelably affixed to a liner paper and coiled into a sticker roll, and the sticker output box includes: a box body, including a sticker compartment for positioning the sticker roll; and a winding shaft, configured to be rotatable when in contact with the liner paper to wind the liner paper; wherein the box body further includes a liner conveying path, a sticker output port, and a turning peeling portion; the turning peeling portion is arranged on the liner conveying path and is disposed at the sticker output port, and the turning peeling portion is configured to cause the sticker to be peeled off of the liner paper by conveying the liner paper in a direction different from a travel direction of the sticker.

The above technical solution can be further optimized by the following technical measures.

In some embodiments, the turning peeling portion extends into the sticker output port; or, the turning peeling portion slightly protrudes out of the sticker output port. At least one end portion of the turning peeling portion in a width direction of the liner paper is formed with a loading port, and the liner paper is configured to be loaded into between the turning peeling portion and the sticker output port from the loading port, to facilitate the loading of the liner paper between the turning peel portion and the sticker output port for later replacement of the sticker roll.

In some embodiments, a conveying resistance increasing portion is arranged on a side of the box body at an upstream of the sticker output port on the liner conveying path; the conveying resistance increasing portion is configured to increase a conveying resistance of the liner paper, causing the liner paper to be in a tensioned state when the sticker is being peeled off, such that the sticker is easier to peel from the liner paper when the liner paper is under tension. The conveying resistance increasing portion includes at least one protruding portion; the at least one protruding portion protrudes towards the liner paper to press against the liner paper, for causing an increase in the conveying resistance of the liner paper. The conveying resistance increasing portion is a concave-convex undulating surface formed on an outer wall of the box body. The conveying resistance increase portion increases the conveying resistance of the liner paper by pressing against the liner paper or increasing the friction in contact with the liner paper, and when the conveying resistance is increased, the liner paper can be made to be in a tensioned state. In particular, the tighter the liner paper at the sticker output port is stretched, the easier the sticker is to be peeled off.

In some embodiments, the liner conveying path is upwardly inclined from an upstream of the liner conveying path to the sticker output port, causing the liner paper to be in a tensioned state when the sticker is being peeled off. The turning peeling portion is configured to be inclined toward the upper left side. The liner paper forms a turn angle greater than 90° at the turning peeling portion. The upward inclination of the liner conveying path at the sticker output port and the inclination of the turning peeling portion toward the upper left side, etc. are intended to make the sticker easier to peel, thereby preventing it from adhering to the box body.

In some embodiments, the sticker compartment includes an inner peripheral wall that fits into an inner hole of the sticker roll, and an outer peripheral wall that surrounds an outer periphery of the sticker roll. The sticker compartment can retain the sticker roll within the box body without coming loose.

In some embodiments, the box body includes a base and a lid, the winding shaft being rotatably positioned between the base and the lid, and the lid is arranged with a rotation resistance increasing portion configured to increase a rotation resistance of the winding shaft, for preventing the liner paper wound on the winding shaft from coming loose. The rotation resistance increasing portion is a friction block in frictional contact with a shaft end face of the winding shaft. The friction block may be a flexible friction block made of sponge or rubber, or the friction block is combined with a resilient member. The resilient member is configured to apply force in a direction that causes the friction block to abut against the winding shaft. The rotation resistance increasing portion can increase the rotation resistance of the winding shaft. Especially in a case where the sticker output box is removed without power drive, the provision of the rotation resistance increasing portion can prevent the liner paper wound on the winding shaft from rotating with the winding shaft, such that the liner paper is not loosened and unwound.

In some embodiments, the box mounting structure includes a positioning post with a motor built-in, and the box body is arranged with a positioning groove receiving the positioning post and adapted to the positioning post. The motor being arranged in the positioning post may significantly reduce the size of the main body in the thickness direction and enable the sticker output box to be firmly arranged on the main body.

A sticker dispending device, including a main body and a sticker output box; wherein the sticker output box is separably combined with the main body, and the winding shaft and the motor are connected through a separable coupling structure. The sticker output box can be integrally removed from the sticker dispensing device for replacement, which is convenient for the user.

In some embodiments, the winding shaft is configured to be capable of a forward rotation and a reverse rotation driven by the motor; after the winding shaft is forwardly rotated such that the liner paper is tightened and at least one the sticker is peeled off, the winding shaft is controlled to reversely rotated at a set angle such that the liner paper is slackened to allow the coupling structure to be easily separated.

In some embodiments, the main body is arranged with a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism being capable of locking the sticker output box to the main body; the main body is further arranged with a button, the button being operable to release the sticker output box from a locked state.

In some embodiments, the sticker dispensing device is further capable of mode switching. Two modes are associated with different sticker output boxes, and when the sticker output box is attached to the main body, a toggle switch on the sticker dispensing device can generate a mode switching trigger in response to the sticker box, such that the control unit automatically switches the sticker dispensing device to the working mode corresponding to the sticker box. Different sticker boxes correspond to different working modes, such that children in the training mode will not be able to operate the device to output stickers at will, which plays a role in preventing cheating. In addition, the entertainment mode improves the ease of playability of the product.

An attention training method for children, applied to a sticker dispensing device. When carrying out an attention training for children, it is only necessary to set the training time, and there is no need for the parents to carry out a real-time supervision of the attention training process, which saves the parents' energy. In addition, the rewards can be obtained by the children independently, which improves the interest of the children in the attention training process and the enthusiasm for training.

Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects.

The portable sticker dispensing device is arranged with a driving mechanism to drive the winding shaft in the sticker output box, such that the sticker is automatically peeled off from the liner paper when passing through the turning peeling member, and then output by the sticker output port. The sticker output box is detachably combined with the sticker dispensing device such that it is only necessary to replace the sticker output box directly when the sticker is required to be replaced. The sticker output boxes can be pre-assembled at the factory, which allows the user to quickly change boxes with different types of rolls and eliminates the need to manually install a first section of the roll into the appropriate channel, thereby providing greater convenience to the user. The sticker roll can be mounted in the sticker output box by the user, and the user can replace the sticker roll in the sticker output box to reduce the cost of using the sticker output box compared to directly discarding the sticker output box.

The sticker dispensing device 100 includes a main body 10 and a sticker output box 70, which will be described in detail below.

As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the sticker output box 70 is constructed to be detachably mounted to a box mounting structure of the main body 10, the box mounting structure being configured for assembling the sticker output box 70 to the main body 10. The main body 10 and the sticker output box 70 are held in engagement by a locking mechanism, and the sticker output box 70 can be released when a push rod 43 is actuated to be moved by operating a button 45. The sticker is peelably affixed to a liner paper and coiled into a sticker roll 200. According to Internet, the sticker belongs to a pastable back-drying adhesive paper, which is printed on the back-drying adhesive paper with all kinds of drawings and photographs. The sticker may be the common sticker on the market, as a kind of fashionable product which is cool to the mass of the adolescents and the youths. The sticker can be affixed to stationery, cups and bowls, furniture, electrical appliances, metal wares, porcelain, motorized vehicle or the non-motorized vehicle, mobile phones, the laptops, game consoles, as well as advertising trademarks, industrial indicators, and other multi-element series of products. The sticker has a wide scope of use and is thus a major focus of the printing industry. The sticker can be printed with various colors of cartoon characters and other patterns. The sticker can be arbitrarily pasted and is mostly disposable. There are more varieties of the stickers. The above description of the sticker comes from the website Baidu Baike, which only serves as a description of the sticker, and does not constitute a limitation on the sticker, in addition to the above sticker there are other types of stickers.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5-8, the sticker output box 70 includes a box body and a winding shaft 88, the box body including a base 71 and a lid 89. The lid 89 may be non-detachably fastened to the base 71, or may be detachably fastened to the base 71, in which case the user may replace the sticker roll 200. The box body has a sticker compartment 91 for positioning the sticker roll 200, and the winding shaft 88 is configured to be rotatable when in contact with the liner paper to wind the liner paper. The box body further has a liner conveying path, a sticker output port 73, and a turning peeling portion 86; the turning peeling portion 86 is arranged on the liner conveying path and is disposed at the sticker output port 73, and the turning peeling portion 86 is capable of causing the sticker to be peeled off of the liner paper by conveying the liner paper in a direction different from the travel direction of the sticker. The sticker is diverted at the sticker output port 73 under the action of the turning peeling, where the sticker is output from the sticker output port 73 and the liner paper is stowed on the winding shaft 88 under the winding of the winding shaft 88.

Referring to FIG. 7, in order to further smoothly output the sticker and prevent sticking of the sticker at the sticker output port 73, the turning peeling portion 86 may extend into the sticker output port 73, and furthermore the turning peeling portion 86 may slightly protrude out of the sticker output port 73 so as to effectively prevent the sticker from adhering to the box body and being unable to be output. At least one end portion of the turning peeling portion 86 in a width direction of the liner paper is formed with a loading port, such that the liner paper can be loaded into between the turning peeling portion 86 and the sticker output port 73 from the loading port, to facilitate the replacement of the sticker roll 200 at a later stage.

Referring further to FIG. 7, a conveying resistance increasing portion 74 is arranged on a side of the box body at an upstream of the sticker output port 73 on the liner conveying path. The conveying resistance increasing portion 74 is configured to increase the conveying resistance of the liner paper in order to put the liner paper in a tensioned state when peeling off the sticker, such that the sticker is easier to peel off from the liner paper when the liner paper is in the tensioned state. The conveying resistance increasing portion 74 includes at least one protruding portion, which protrudes towards the liner paper to press against the liner paper, for causing an increase in the conveying resistance of the liner paper. The conveying resistance increasing portion 74 may be a concave-convex undulating surface formed on an outer wall of the box body. The conveying resistance increasing portion 74 can increase the conveying resistance of the liner paper by pressing against the liner paper or increasing the friction in contact with the liner paper, such that the liner paper is in a tensioned state when the conveying resistance is increased. In particular, the tighter the liner paper at the sticker output port 73 is pulled, the easier the sticker is to be peeled off.

With further reference to FIG. 7, the liner conveying path includes a feeding channel 75 and a receiving channel 76. The sticker is pasted on the liner paper in the feeding channel 75, and the sticker has been peeled off from the liner paper in the receiving channel 76. The liner conveying path is upwardly inclined from the upstream thereof to the sticker output port 73, causing the liner paper to be in the tensioned state when the sticker is peeled off. The turning peeling portion 86 is inclined towards the upper left. The liner paper forms a turn angle greater than 90° at the turning peeling portion 86. The upward inclination of the liner conveying path at the sticker output port 73 and the inclination of the turning peeling portion 86 toward the upper left side, etc. are intended to make the sticker easier to peel, thereby preventing it from adhering to the box body.

In the embodiments, the sticker compartment 91 includes an inner peripheral wall 87 that fits into an inner hole of the sticker roll 200, and an outer peripheral wall 90 that surrounds an outer periphery of the sticker roll 200. The inner peripheral wall 87 and the outer peripheral wall 90 cooperatively define the sticker compartment 91 for placing the sticker roll 200. In the present disclosure, the sticker roll 200 refers to a roll of stickers formed by pasting the sticker on the liner paper and coiled into a roll. In the present embodiments, the sticker roll 200 is wound on a hollow paper tube, which is sleeved to the inner peripheral wall 87. The sticker compartment can retain the sticker roll 200 within the box body without coming loose.

Referring to FIGS. 6-8, the box body includes the base 71 and the lid 89, the winding shaft 88 being rotatably positioned between the base 71 and the lid 89. The lid 89 is arranged with a rotation resistance increasing portion 92 configured to increase a rotation resistance of the winding shaft 88, for preventing the liner paper wound on the winding shaft 88 from coming loose. The rotation resistance increasing portion 92 is a friction block in frictional contact with a shaft end face of the winding shaft 88. In the embodiments, the friction block may be a flexible friction block made of sponge or rubber, or other flexible material, which, when rubbing against the end surface of the winding shaft 88, can increase the resistance to rotation of the winding shaft 88, thereby preventing unwinding of the wound liner paper. In other words, the rotation resistance increasing portion 92 can increase the rotation resistance of the winding shaft 88. Especially in a case where the sticker output box 70 is removed without power drive, the provision of the rotation resistance increasing portion 92 can prevent the liner paper wound on the winding shaft 88 from rotating with the winding shaft 88, such that the liner paper is not loosened and unwound. In some embodiments, the friction block is combined with a resilient member, and specifically, the resilient member is arranged between the friction block and the lid 89. The resilient member is configured to apply force in a direction that causes the friction block to abut against the winding shaft 88, and the resilient member may be a cylindrical spring, etc. In some embodiments, the friction block may be configured as a positioning member of the winding shaft 88, such as a positioning portion 89c in FIG. 8; however, it is necessary to provide the positioning member as a movable structure and to arrange a spring between the positioning member and the lid 89 such that the positioning portion 89c abuts against the winding shaft 88, which also achieves the effect of increasing the rotation resistance of the winding shaft 88.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the box mounting structure includes a positioning post 22a having a motor 28 built-in, and the box body is arranged with a positioning groove 22b receiving the positioning post 22a and adapted to the positioning post 22a. The positioning post 22a extends into the positioning groove 22b to realize a positioning fit. The motor 28 being arranged in the positioning post 22a may significantly reduce the size of the main body 10 in the thickness direction and enable the sticker output box 70 to be firmly arranged on the main body 10.

As shown in FIG. 12, the main body 10 includes: the box mounting structure for removably mounting the sticker output box 70. The main body 10 further defines a paper outlet 15 in communication with the sticker output port 73. With further reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the sticker output box 70 may be disassembled as a whole from the main body 10 for replacement, which is convenient for the user. The sticker output port 73 and the paper outlet 15 are arranged correspondingly and facing each other.

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the box mounting structure includes a mounting cavity 13 for receiving the sticker output box 70, a locking mechanism for locking the sticker output box 70, and an unlocking mechanism for releasing the sticker output box 70.

The sticker output box 70 involved in the present disclosure is specifically described below.

As shown in conjunction with FIGS. 1-11, the sticker output box 70 and the main body 10 together form the sticker dispensing device 100, and the main body 10 has a box mounting structure for receiving the sticker output box 70. The box mounting structure enables the sticker output box 70 to be detachably mounted on the main body 10. In a state of use of the sticker dispending device 100, the sticker output box 70 and the main body 10 are combined with each other. When it is necessary to replace the sticker output box 70, the user can release the sticker output box 70 by the unlocking mechanism. That is, the user only needs to directly replace the sticker output box 70 without directly replacing the sticker. Of course, the sticker output box 70 can be made into a detachable structure, and the user can replace only the sticker roll 200, which may reduce the user's cost of use.

As shown in FIG. 7, the sticker output box 70 has a sticker compartment 91 that receives the sticker roll 200, and the sticker compartment 91 is jointly defined by an inner peripheral wall 87 and an outer peripheral wall 90. The inner peripheral wall 87 is a circular wall portion, and the outer peripheral wall 90 is a disconnected circular wall portion. The outer peripheral wall 90 defines a notch 902 that may facilitate the user to place the sticker roll 200, and an inner bottom wall of the inner peripheral wall 87 defines a locking hole 77. The locking mechanism on the main body 10 includes a movable snap 40, the movable snap 40 including a push rod 43, and the push rod 43 is arranged with a hook 42. The hook 42 of the movable snap 40 is snapped with the locking hole 77 to realize locking of the sticker output box 70. To improve the structural strength of the locking hole 77, a reinforcing rib 78 and a reinforcing rib plate 79 are arranged at a periphery of the locking hole 77. A winding shaft 88 for winding a liner paper after peeling off the sticker is rotatably positioned inside the sticker output box 70. Specifically, the sticker output box 70 includes a base 71 and a lid 89, and the winding shaft 88 is rotatably clamped and positioned between the base 71 and the lid 89. In addition, as previously described, to prevent the liner paper from being loosened and unwound caused by the winding shaft 88 reversing under the pulling of the liner paper, a rotation resistance increasing portion 92 is arranged at an end face of the winding shaft 88, and the rotation resistance increasing portion 92 may be arranged between the lid 89 and the winding shaft 88, i.e., between the end face of the winding shaft 88 opposite to the lid 89 and the lid 89. In other embodiments, the rotation resistance increasing portion 92 may be arranged between the end surface of the winding shaft 88 opposite the base 71 and the base 71, and the rotation resistance of the winding shaft 88 may be increased by increasing the friction.

Further in conjunction with FIG. 7, to realize the mounting and positioning of the sticker output box 70, an outer wall of the sticker output box 70 cooperates with a cavity wall of the main body 10. To further improve the stability of the positioning, a positioning post 22a is arranged on the main body 10, and correspondingly, a positioning groove 22b is defined on the sticker output box 70 that cooperates with the positioning post 22a, and the positioning post 22a extends into the mounting cavity 13. To reduce the thickness of the main body 10, a motor 28 is arranged in the positioning post 22a. Specifically, a groove is defined within the positioning post 22a, and the motor 28 is arranged within the groove. The positioning groove 22b is a groove recessed inwardly from a bottom wall of the base 71, and the positioning post 22a extends into the positioning groove 22b to realize the mounting and positioning of the sticker output box 70.

A liner conveying path is formed on an upper portion of the base 71, and a feeding channel 75 and a receiving channel 76 are arranged in the liner conveying path. The feeding channel 75 is formed by a top wall of the base 71 and an inner wall below the top wall, and the liner paper to which a sticker is affixed passes through the feeding channel 75, such that the sticker together with the liner paper is conveyed to the sticker output port 73 and the sticker is peeled off from the liner paper at the sticker output port 73. Specifically, a turning peeling portion 86 is arranged at the sticker output port 73, and the turning peeling portion 86 serves to guide the liner paper to be conveyed in a direction different from the travel direction of the sticker such that the sticker is peeled off from the liner paper. The winding shaft 88 is disposed below the positioning groove 22b, and the feeding channel 75 is disposed above the positioning groove 22b. The receiving channel 76 is disposed below the sticker output port 73, and the liner paper after being peeled off from the sticker is wound on the winding shaft 88 through the receiving channel 76.

To enable the sticker to be peeled off from the liner paper without producing defects such as sticking, a liner paper tensioning structure may be arranged. Specifically, a conveying resistance increasing portion 74 is arranged on a top wall of the feeding channel 75 to increase the resistance of the liner paper during conveying, and the increased resistance can cause the liner paper to be in a tensioned state before the sticker is peeled off. The conveying resistance increasing portion 74 may be at least one protruding portion extending downwardly from the top wall of the base 71, or it may be a continuous concave-convex undulating surface formed by multiple protruding portions. The protruding portions serve to tension the liner paper by pressing downwardly against the liner paper. In addition, to further tension the liner paper, the feeding channel 75 is arranged to gradually incline to the upper left, and an upper surface of the turning peeling portion 86 is arranged with an inclined surface 86a inclined to the upper left, such that the turning peeling portion 86 is warped to the upper left.
