The first sign-hanging robot 4 and the second sign-hanging robot 5 are respectively installed in the foundation pits 8 on both sides of the suspension arm 2. The first sign-hanging robot 4 and the second sign-hanging robot 5 move back and forth along the axial direction of the wire reel 1 on the ground rails 9 on both sides of the suspension arm 2. Specifically, the first sign-hanging robot 4 and the second sign-hanging robot 5 can be driven by an engine to move on the ground rails 9, or can be driven to slide by a cylinder, or driven to slide by a screw assembly, a chain 632 sprocket 631 mechanism, a gear rack mechanism, etc. The specific driving method is not limited, as long as it can drive the first sign-hanging robot 4 and the second sign-hanging robot 5 to move back and forth horizontally. Feeding devices 6 are provided at the foundation pit 8 on both sides of the suspension arm 2. The feeding devices 6 are used to transport cardboard 7 toward the foundation pit 8. The first hanging robot 4 is used to grab the cardboard 7 on the feeding device 6 and hang it on the suspension arm 2 through the open end of the suspension arm 2; the second hanging robot 5 is used to grab the cardboard 7 on another feeding device 6 and hang it on the suspension arm 2 through the sealed end of the suspension arm 2, so that cardboard 7 is provided at both ends of the axial direction of the wire roll 1.

[0036] Preferably, the first sign-hanging robot 4 and the second sign-hanging robot 5 each include a robot body and a mechanical arm fixed on the robot body, and a suction cup assembly 10 for grabbing the cardboard 7 is fixed on the mechanical arm of the first sign-hanging robot 4 and the second sign-hanging robot 5.

[0039] Preferably, the cardboard 7 at the open end of the suspension arm 2 can pass directly, so only one first hanging robot 4 is provided to hang the cardboard 7 on the suspension arm 2, while the cardboard 7 at the sealed end of the suspension arm 2 cannot pass directly, and the closed part of the cardboard 7 can only be opened first, and then the cardboard 7 is glued by the second hanging robot 5 when it is put on the suspension arm 2. For this reason, two second hanging robots 5 are provided in the present invention. The two second hanging robots 5 are used to suck the other side of the magic hook surface and the magic hair surface of the cardboard 7 respectively, so that the cardboard 7 can be opened or closed by the cooperation of the two second hanging robots 5.

[0040] In order to facilitate the first hanging robot 4 and the second hanging robot 5 to grab the cardboard 7, preferably, the feeding device 6 near the sealing end of the suspension arm 2 has a cardboard 7 conveying direction consistent with the axis direction of the wire coil 1; the feeding device 6 near the open end of the suspension arm 2 has a cardboard 7 conveying direction perpendicular to the axis direction of the wire coil 1. The feeding device 6 includes a support frame 61, a hanging trolley 62 and a chain 632 conveying mechanism 63. The chain 632 conveying mechanism 63 is installed on the support frame 61, the hanging trolley 62 is installed on the chain 632 conveying mechanism 63, the chain 632 conveying mechanism 63 is used to drive the hanging trolley 62 to move toward or away from the foundation pit 8 to realize the conveyance of the cardboard 7, and the hanging trolley 62 is used to suspend and place the cardboard 7.

[0041] Specifically, the support frame 61 includes a leg 611, a support crossbar 612, a cross plate 613, a fixed frame 614 and a column 615. Two support crossbars 612 are provided, and the cross plate 613 is located between the two support crossbars 612. The cross plate 613 and the two support crossbars 612 are parallel to each other. The upper end of the column 615 is fixed to the bottom of the support crossbar 612, and the lower end is supported on the ground. The fixed frame 614 is fixed between the cross plate 613 and the support crossbar 612. The upper end of the leg 611 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed frame 614, and the lower end is supported on the ground. The support crossbar 612 and the cross plate 613 are supported above the ground by the legs 611 and the column 615 respectively. The chain 632 conveying mechanism 63 includes a sprocket 631, a chain 632 and a motor (not shown in the figure). There are two sprockets 631 arranged horizontally, and the chain 632 is sleeved on the circumferential surfaces of the two sprockets 631 and meshed with the sprockets 631. The two sprockets 631 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the cross plate 613. One of the two sprockets 631 is a driving sprocket 631, and the other is a driven sprocket 631. The motor output shaft is connected to the driving sprocket 631, and the suspension trolley 62 is fixed on the chain 632.

[0042] The hanging process of the cardboard 7 at the open end of the suspension arm 2: when the motor is started, the sprocket 631 will drive the chain 632 to move along the elliptical track on the horizontal plate 613. Since the suspension trolley 62 is fixed on the chain 632 and the cardboard 7 is suspended on the suspension trolley 62, when the chain 632 is transported, the suspension trolley 62 will transport the cardboard 7 to the foundation pit 8. When the first hanging robot 4 grabs the cardboard 7 on the suspension trolley 62, it only needs to suck the cardboard 7 with the vacuum suction cup 101, then move on the ground rail 9 to the position close to the suspension arm 2, and then hang the cardboard 7 on the suspension arm 2 through the robot arm.

[0043] The hanging process of the cardboard 7 at the sealed end of the suspension arm 2: when the motor is started, the sprocket 631 will drive the chain 632 to move along the elliptical track on the horizontal plate 613. Since the suspension trolley 62 is fixed on the chain 632 and the cardboard 7 is suspended on the suspension trolley 62, when the chain 632 is transported, the suspension trolley 62 will transport the cardboard 7 to the foundation pit 8. When the two second hanging robots 5 cooperate to grab the cardboard 7 on the hanging trolley 62, it is only necessary to suck the two sides of the closed part of the cardboard 7 by the vacuum suction cup 101, and then open the cardboard 7 by the mechanical arms of the two second hanging robots 5, and then move on the ground rail 9 to the near part of the suspension arm 2, and finally hang the cardboard 7 on the suspension arm 2 by the mechanical arms of the two second hanging robots 5, and glue the cardboard 7.

[0044] In the present invention, the first hanging robot 4 and the second hanging robot 5 at both ends of the wire coil 1 do not affect each other and can work at the same time, which saves trouble and labor.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
