[0035] For more information, see Figure 1-3 , a positioning system for the bottom of a round bottle labeling machine, comprising a positioning mechanism and a round bottle with a positioning groove at the bottom, the positioning mechanism comprising,

[0036] A fixing plate 1, one side of which is used for connecting with a labeling machine;

[0037] A driving cylinder 2 fixedly arranged on the other side of the fixing plate 1;

[0038] The driving cylinder 2 drives the positioning component to move up and down, and the positioning component includes a mounting base 3, a rotary shaft 4 penetrating the mounting base 3, a swingable sleeve 5 and an ejector pin 6 vertically arranged at one end of the rotary shaft 4, the upper part of the ejector pin 6 is arranged above the swingable sleeve 5, and the lower part is arranged inside the swingable sleeve 5 and connected with the positioning pin spring 7 inside the swingable sleeve 5, and the ejector pin 6 can rebound up and down in the swingable sleeve;

[0039] Through the above technical solution, the fixed plate 1 is fixed on the labeling machine. When a round bottle enters the system, the cylinder 2 is driven to push the positioning component up, and the ejector pin 6 is abutted in the positioning groove at the bottom of the round bottle. The rotating round bottle drives the ejector pin 6 and the swingable sleeve 5 to move, thereby pulling the reciprocating rotation of the rotating shaft 4. When the ejector pin 6, the swingable sleeve 5 and the rotating shaft 4 are restored to their initial positions, the labeling process is completed.

[0040] Specifically, a limit sensing block 8 is disposed at the other end of the rotary shaft 4 , and a limit screw 9 is disposed at a corresponding position of the limit sensing block 8 on the mounting base 3 , and the limit sensing block 8 and the limit screw 9 conflict with each other.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, the limit sensing block 8 and the limit screw 9 conflict with each other to determine the initial position of the rotary shaft 4;

[0042] Specifically, a return spring 10 is also provided on the rotating shaft 4. The return spring 10 and the limit sensing block 8 are located at the same end of the rotating shaft 4. The return spring 10 is used to pull the limit sensing block 8 and the limit screw 9 to conflict with each other, thereby ensuring that the rotating shaft 4 returns to the initial position.

[0043] Specifically, the mounting base 3 is further provided with a sensor bracket 11 at a position corresponding to the limit sensing block 8 , and the sensor bracket 11 is used to set up the sensor.

[0044] Through the above technical solution, the positions correspond, which makes it easier for the sensor to receive the information of the movement of the limit sensing block 8 and then make the next step of instructions.

[0045] Specifically, the driving cylinder 2 is a three-axis cylinder.

[0046] For more information, see Figure 4-6 The present embodiment further includes a round bottle mechanism, which includes a light mounting plate 12 for mounting an object measuring electric eye, a round bottle rubber roller 13, and a driving motor 14 for driving the round bottle rubber roller 13.

[0047] Through the above technical solution, the round bottle mechanism of this embodiment, on the one hand, the object detection electric eye is used to detect the entry of the round bottle, and then control the driving motor 14 and the round bottle rubber roller 13 to work.

[0048] Specifically, the object measuring electric eye, the driving cylinder 2, the driving motor 14, the sensor and the limit sensing block 8 are all connected to the central controller.

[0049] In this embodiment, a central controller is provided for receiving and sending signals, thereby facilitating the fully automated production activities of the system in this embodiment.

[0050] Specifically, the fixing plate 1 is hollowed out to form a plurality of rounded rectangular holes 101 , and the rounded rectangular holes 101 are used to adjust the height of the positioning mechanism.

[0051] The working principle of this embodiment: the object measuring electric eye detects that a round bottle with a positioning groove at the bottom enters the system and sends a signal to the central controller. The central controller sends the signal to the drive motor 14 on the one hand to control the round bottle rubber roller 13 to tighten the round bottle and drive the round bottle to rotate, and on the other hand to control the drive cylinder 2 to push the positioning mechanism upward, thereby causing the ejector 6 to get stuck in the positioning groove of the round bottle. Due to the traction of the ejector 6 on the round bottle, the swingable sleeve 5 is pulled to swing, and then the rotating shaft 4 is pulled to rotate, driving the limit sensing block 8 to move and leave the sensor sensing area. After the sensor detects the movement signal of the limit block, it is transmitted to the central controller, and the central controller controls the labeling to complete the fixed-point positioning labeling. When the labeling is completed, the round bottle rubber roller 13 stops rotating and releases the round bottle, and the drive cylinder 2 moves downward to the initial position synchronously. After the ejector 6 leaves the round bottle groove, the rotating shaft 4 returns to the initial position under the action of the reset spring 10 until the next round bottle is detected by the object measuring electric eye, and the labeling work is repeated. In this way, the automatic labeling work is completed.

[0052] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
