[0049] That is to say, when the set-top box on the conveyor line 10 is transported from the previous process to the starting end near the conveyor line 10, the set-top box can be flipped 180° by the flipping part 104, which is convenient for the subsequent installation of screws and labeling; the screw feeder 20 is arranged on the side of the conveyor line 10 and is suitable for supplying screws to facilitate the locking component 30 to grab and install them one by one on the set-top box on the conveyor line 10; the first transfer driving member 301 on the locking component 30 can drive the electric screw hanger 302 to move between the screw taking position and the screw locking position, which is convenient for grabbing the screws and installing them on the set-top box; the printer 40 is arranged on the side of the conveyor line 10 and is suitable for to print out the label to be pasted; the adsorption part 501 on the labeling component 50 cooperates with the second transfer driving part 503 to adsorb the label printed by the printer 40; the second camera 602 on the visual module 60 can detect the label adsorbed on the adsorption part 501 and correct the label, the first camera 601 can detect the labeling position of the set-top box, and cooperate with the labeling component 50 to accurately paste the label at the labeling position of the set-top box with the correct posture; the label pressing roller 70 is set above the conveyor line 10 and close to the end of the conveyor line 10 to press the label on the set-top box after labeling on the conveyor line 10 to ensure that the label is pasted flatly and firmly.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor line 10 includes a first belt conveyor 101 , a second belt conveyor 102 and a plurality of positioning parts 103 .
[0052] Specifically, the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 are arranged at intervals to jointly convey the set-top box; a plurality of positioning parts 103 are arranged at intervals between the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 along the conveying direction to block and position the set-top box at the position corresponding to the screw feeder 20 or the printer 40.
[0053] It can be understood that the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 are arranged at intervals to jointly transport the set-top box to the screw feeder 20 station and the printer 40 station in sequence. In conjunction with several positioning parts 103, the set-top box can be accurately positioned at the screw feeder 20 station and the printer 40 station, which is convenient for locking screws and sticking labels on the set-top box.
[0054] The first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 have the same structure and working principle, and can be a motor-coordinated conveyor belt structure.
[0055] Regarding the positioning portion 103 , the positioning portion 103 includes a limiting tool 1031 and a blocking piece 1032 .
[0056] Specifically, the limiting tooling 1031 is arranged between the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 and is flush with the position of the printer 40 or the screw feeder 20. The limiting tooling 1031 can be raised and lowered, and the blocking piece 1032 is swingably arranged on the second belt conveyor 102 between a horizontal position and a vertical position. When in the vertical position, the limiting tooling 1031 rises and cooperates with the blocking piece 1032 to block and position the set-top box.
[0057] It can be understood that when the set-top box is transported to the screw feeder 20 station or the printer 40 station, the blocking piece 1032 blocks the set-top box at the position of the limiting tool 1031, and cooperates with the limiting tool 1031 to limit the set-top box to facilitate the installation of screws or the affixing of labels on the set-top box.
[0058] As for the limiting tooling 1031, the limiting tooling 1031 can be set to have a groove plate that matches the outer contour shape of the set-top box. The set-top box on the conveyor line 10 can be accurately limited by the limiting block to facilitate the installation of screws or the sticking of labels on the set-top box.
[0059] For the blocking piece 1032, the blocking piece 1032 is set on the blocking shaft 1033, and the blocking shaft 1033 is connected to the rotary driving member 1034 to drive the blocking piece 1032 to rotate between the horizontal position and the vertical position; wherein, the blocking piece 1032 can be set as a T-block, and the rotary driving member 1034 can be a rotary cylinder structure. The blocking piece 1032 cooperates with the blocking shaft 1033 and is connected to the rotary driving member 1034, so that the blocking piece 1032 rotates between the horizontal position and the vertical position with the blocking shaft 1033 as the fulcrum, thereby realizing the conversion of the transport state after the set-top box is blocked and the transport state after the screws are installed or the labels are pasted, so as to facilitate the installation of screws or the pasting of labels on the set-top box.
[0060] The positioning unit 103 further includes a positioning cylinder 1035 and a stopper 1036. The stopper 1036 is provided on the first belt conveyor 101, and the positioning cylinder 1035 is provided on the second belt conveyor 102. The positioning cylinder 1035 and the stopper 1036 cooperate to perform preliminary positioning of the set-top box.
[0061] It can be understood that by positioning the cylinder 1035 against the side of the set-top box on the conveyor line 10 , the other side of the set-top box abuts the stopper 1036 , thereby achieving preliminary positioning of the set-top box and facilitating accurate positioning of the limiting tooling 1031 .
[0062] In addition, the positioning part 103 also includes a lifting drive component 1037, which is connected to the limiting tooling 1031. The lifting drive component 1037 can be a cylinder structure. The lifting drive component 1037 can drive the limiting tooling 1031 to move up and down, thereby realizing the conversion of the limiting tooling 1031 between the working position and the avoidance position, which is convenient for limiting the set-top box on the conveyor line 10, thereby facilitating the accurate pasting of the label.
[0063] As for the flipping part 104, the flipping part 104 includes two side baffles 1041, a flipping groove 1042 and a flipping driving member 1043. The two side baffles 1041 are arranged one by one on the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 to construct a flipping space; the flipping groove 1042 is arranged between the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 and is located in the flipping space, and the opening of the flipping groove 1042 faces the starting end of the conveyor line 10. The flipping driving member 1043 is connected to the flipping groove 1042 to drive the flipping groove 1042 to drive the set-top box to flip 180°.
[0064] It can be understood that when the set-top box flows into the conveyor line 10 from the previous process and is conveyed by the conveyor line 10 to the flip groove 1042, the flip drive 1043 drives the flip groove 1042 to drive the set-top box to flip 180°, and the baffles 1041 on both sides jointly construct a flip space to limit the set-top box in the flip space to prevent the set-top box from tipping over, so that the set-top box remains on the conveyor line 10 after flipping 180°, so as to facilitate the subsequent screw locking and label sticking of the set-top box.
[0065] The flip groove 1042 may be configured as a V-shaped structure, so that the set-top box can more easily enter the flip groove 1042 ; and the flip driving member 1043 may be a rotary cylinder structure.
[0066] The conveyor line 10 further includes a spacing adjustment driving member 105 , which connects the first belt conveyor 101 and / or the second belt conveyor 102 to adjust the spacing therebetween.
[0067] It can be understood that the spacing adjustment drive member 105 connects the first belt conveyor 101 and / or the second belt conveyor 102 to adjust the spacing between the two, so that the conveying space jointly created by the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 can be adjusted, which is convenient for matching set-top boxes of various specifications and improving the versatility of the set-top box locking and labeling device.
[0068] Among them, the spacing adjustment drive member 105 can be composed of a motor, a synchronous belt transmission mechanism, a moving pair, a screw and a nut. Through the spacing adjustment drive member 105, the conveying space jointly created by the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 can be adjusted, which is convenient for matching set-top boxes of various specifications and improving the versatility of the set-top box locking and labeling device.
[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a blowing rod 106 is further provided above the conveyor line 10 , and the blowing rod 106 is provided with a plurality of blowing holes facing the set-top boxes on the conveyor line 10 to clean the labeling positions on the set-top boxes.
[0070] It can be understood that by providing a plurality of blowing holes on the blowing rod 106 facing the set-top boxes on the conveyor line 10, the labeling position of the set-top boxes on the conveyor line 10 can be blown clean to facilitate firm labeling and ensure the quality of the pasting.
[0071] The conveyor line 10 is further provided with a first detection switch 107 , a second detection switch 108 and a third detection switch 109 .
[0072] As for the first detection switch 107, the first detection switch 107 is set on the second belt conveyor 102 and close to the positioning part 103. The first detection switch 107 detects whether the set-top box on the conveyor line 10 is conveyed to the positioning part 103, so that the positioning part 103 can block and position the set-top box, thereby facilitating the pasting of the label.
[0073] As for the second detection switch 108, the second detection switch 108 is set between the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 at the front end of the blowing rod 106. Through the second detection switch 108, the blowing rod 106 can be controlled to blow air, and the labeling position of the set-top box on the conveyor line 10 can be blown clean to facilitate the firm sticking of the label to ensure the sticking quality.
[0074] As for the third detection switch 109, the third detection switch 109 is set between the first belt conveyor 101 and the second belt conveyor 102 at the front end of the flip part 104. Through the third detection switch 109, the flip part 104 can be controlled to flip, which is convenient for subsequent set-top box screw locking and label pasting.
[0075] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the screw feeder 20 can adopt an existing mechanism. The screw feeder 20 can move the screws to the position to be grasped, and cooperate with the locking component 30 to grasp the screws and install them on the set-top box of the conveyor line 10.
[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 30 can adopt an existing mechanism, and the screws on the screw feeder 20 can be grabbed by the locking assembly 30 and then installed on the set-top box of the conveyor line 10.
[0077] In the locking assembly 30 , the first moving driver 301 includes an X-axis moving driver 3011 , a Y-axis moving driver 3012 , and a Z-axis moving driver 3013 .
[0078] Specifically, the mounting plate is arranged on the moving end of the Z-axis moving driver 3013 , the Z-axis moving driver 3013 is arranged on the moving end of the Y-axis moving driver 3012 , and the Y-axis moving driver 3012 is arranged on the moving end of the X-axis moving driver 3011 .
[0079] For the X-axis moving driver 3011, the X-axis moving driver 3011 can be a motor-driven moving substructure, which drives the electric screwdriver hanger 302 to realize movement in the X-axis direction. In conjunction with the Y-axis moving driver 3012 and the Z-axis moving driver 3013, the screws on the screw feeder 20 can be grabbed and transferred to the screw locking position of the set-top box for installation.
[0080] For the Y-axis moving driver 3012, the Y-axis moving driver 3012 can be a motor-driven moving substructure, which drives the electric screwdriver hanger 302 to realize movement in the Y-axis direction. In conjunction with the X-axis moving driver 3011 and the Z-axis moving driver 3013, the screws on the screw feeder 20 can be grabbed and transferred to the screw locking position of the set-top box for installation.
[0081] For the Z-axis moving driver 3013, the Z-axis moving driver 3013 can be a motor-driven moving substructure, which drives the electric screwdriver hanger 302 to realize movement in the Z-axis direction. In conjunction with the X-axis moving driver 3011 and the Y-axis moving driver 3012, the screws on the screw feeder 20 can be grabbed and transferred to the screw locking position of the set-top box for installation.
[0082] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in the printer 40, an anti-sticking portion 401 is provided at the label taking position, and the anti-sticking portion 401 includes an anti-sticking plate 4011 and a label blowing mechanism 4012. The anti-sticking plate 4011 is suitable for receiving labels from the printer 40, and the anti-sticking plate 4011 is provided with a hollow area. The label blowing mechanism 4012 is arranged at the bottom of the anti-sticking plate 4011 and is suitable for blowing air upward from the hollow area.
[0083] It can be understood that the anti-sticking plate 4011 receives the labels printed by the printer 40. The anti-sticking plate 4011 is provided with a hollow area and cooperates with the label blowing mechanism 4012 to blow air upward from the hollow area of the anti-sticking plate 4011, so that the sticky surface of the label is separated from the anti-sticking plate 4011, making it easier for the adsorbent 501 to adsorb the label from the anti-sticking plate 4011.
[0084] like Figure 8 As shown, in the labeling assembly 50 , the adsorption member 501 is connected to the rotation driving member 502 to drive the adsorption member 501 to rotate and adjust the position of the label when the label is deflected.
[0085] It can be understood that since the printed label is received by the anti-sticking plate 4011 and the adsorbent 501 adsorbs the label from the anti-sticking plate 4011, the position of the label will change during the process. Therefore, the adsorbent 501 is driven by the rotating driving member 502 to adjust the position of the label on the adsorbent 501, so that the label can be pasted on the pasting position of the set-top box in the correct posture.
[0086] As for the adsorption part 501, the adsorption part 501 can be set as a square block slightly larger than the label and provided with a plurality of adsorption holes. The label on the anti-sticking plate 4011 can be adsorbed by the adsorption part 501, and the position of the label on the adsorption part 501 can be adjusted in conjunction with the rotating driving part 502, so that the label can be pasted on the pasting position of the set-top box in the correct posture.
[0087] The rotating driving member 502 may be a motor with a bearing structure. The rotating driving member 502 may drive the label on the adsorption member 501 to rotate to adjust the position of the label, so that the label can be pasted on the pasting position of the set-top box in the correct posture.
[0088] In the labeling component 50, for the second movable driving member 503, the structure and working principle of the second movable driving member 503 can refer to the above-mentioned first transfer driving member 301. The second movable driving member 503 can adsorb the label on the anti-sticking plate 4011 and transfer it to the labeling position of the set-top box for pasting.
[0089] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the marking roller 70 is arranged at a position near the end of the conveying line 10 through a bracket.
[0090] It is understandable that after the labeling component 50 sticks the label on the labeling position of the set-top box, the label will be uneven. The label pressing roller 70 can be used to roll and flatten the label stuck on the set-top box to ensure the reliability of the label sticking; wherein, the label pressing roller 70 can be a roller with elastic material so as to fully contact the label and roll the label flat.
