A label wrapping device configured to peel a label off a release paper of a label tape and wrap the label around a cable, the label tape being configured by a plurality of the labels sequentially affixed to the release paper, the label wrapping device comprising:
- a stripping plate configured to peel the label one by one off the release paper;
- a conveying roller pair configured to convey the label peeled off the release paper by the stripping plate in a conveying direction along a conveying path, the conveying roller pair being positioned downstream of the stripping plate in the conveying direction, the conveying roller pair comprising:
- a conveying roller;
- and
- a follow roller facing the conveying roller in a direction crossing the conveying direction and configured to nip the label in cooperation with the conveying roller;
- an insertion recess positioned downstream of the conveying roller pair in the conveying direction, the insertion recess having an opening that is open toward the conveying path for receiving the cable into the insertion recess through the opening;
- a driving motor configured to drive and rotate the conveying roller in the conveying roller pair;
- a one-way clutch interposed between the driving motor and the conveying roller in the conveying roller pair, the one-way clutch being configured to transmit a drive force of the driving motor to the conveying roller in the conveying roller pair;
- and
- a controller configured to control the driving motor, the controller being configured to perform:
- (a) controlling the driving motor to enable the conveying roller pair to convey the label peeled off the release paper by the stripping plate in the conveying direction;
- and
- (b) controlling the driving motor, after the (a) controlling, to enable the conveying roller pair to halt conveyance of the label when an upstream end of the label becomes positioned downstream relative to the stripping plate in the conveying direction and after the label covers at least a portion of the opening of the insertion recess,
- wherein, in the (b) controlling, in a case where the conveying roller is urged to rotate while the driving motor is halted, the one-way clutch does not allow torque transfer between the conveying roller and the driving motor to enable the conveying roller to freely rotate following movement of the label in the conveying direction, and
- wherein,
- when the conveyance of the label is halted in the (b) controlling, the upstream end of the label is nipped by the conveying roller pair, and
- when the cable is inserted into the insertion recess after the conveyance of the label is halted in the (b) controlling, the label is pulled downstream in the conveying direction by the cable to allow the upstream end of the label to be released from the conveying roller pair.
