Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-counterfeiting label technology, specifically to a device and method for the continuous placement of anti-counterfeiting labels. Background Technology

[0002] Modern labels are tools used to identify product targets and categories or contents, facilitating the search and location of desired items. In the printing industry, labels are mostly printed materials used to identify relevant information about products, and most have adhesive backing. However, some labels are printed without adhesive backing and can still be called labels.

[0003] Existing labeling machines cannot be placed continuously, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, when picking up labels, the excessive adhesion between the adhesive and the release paper can cause labels to fail to be removed, making it difficult to guarantee accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a device and method for continuous placement of anti-counterfeiting labels. The release paper is bent into an acute angle at the far right of the picking plate. At this point, the portion of the label that extends beyond the far right of the picking plate and is adhered to the vacuum suction cup will lift up and detach from the release paper. Then, negative pressure is applied inside the vacuum suction cup to adhere the label. Next, the second telescopic rod retracts, first lifting the lifted portion of the label. This effectively ensures the success rate of removing the label from the release paper and increases the accuracy of label application.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A device for continuous placement of anti-counterfeiting labels includes a working chamber, a drive box inside the working chamber, placement shafts symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the drive box for placing label rolls, compression rollers on both the front and rear sides of the drive box, and material-taking plates on both the front and rear sides of the drive box, the top of the material-taking plates being parallel to the horizontal plane. Labeling components are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the drive box above the material-taking plates, and bending and gathering components are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the drive box below the material-taking plates.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the working chamber has openings on both the front and rear sides, and a working plate is fixedly connected between the two openings.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the labeling assembly includes a slide rail, a slider, a hydraulic cylinder, and a first telescopic rod. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on a drive box, the slide rail is fixedly mounted on the drive box, and the slide rail is slidably connected to the slider. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the slider. The first telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the slider. The output end of the first telescopic rod is rotatably connected to a vacuum suction cup via a hinge. A second telescopic rod is movably mounted between the output end of the first telescopic rod and the end of the vacuum suction cup away from the first telescopic rod. The telescopic rod is used to drive the vacuum suction cup to rotate around the connection between the vacuum suction cup and the first telescopic rod.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bending and gathering assembly includes a gathering rod, and a driving device is fixedly installed inside the drive box. The driving device is used to drive the gathering rod to rotate, and the gathering rod is used to wind up the release paper with the label removed. Arc-shaped holes are provided on both the front and rear sides of the drive box, and the gathering rod passes through the gathering rod. The arc-shaped hole is part of a circular path formed by rotating with the rightmost point of the material taking plate as the center point and the distance between the rightmost point of the material taking plate and the gathering rod as the radius.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the slider is fixedly connected to a connecting arm, which is used to maintain the linkage between the slider and the retracting rod.

[0011] A method for continuously placing anti-counterfeiting labels, the method comprising the following steps:

[0012] S1, Pre-processing: Install the label roll on the placement shaft, then pull out a portion of the blank release paper without labels and pass it through the top of the extrusion roller and the feeding plate, and finally wrap and fix it on the gathering rod. Pass the external conveyor belt through the opening of the work chamber, and place the workpiece to be labeled onto the work plate from the opening.

[0013] S2, Material Picking: Power on the drive device to drive the retracting rod to roll up the release paper. When the release paper with the label is fed onto the picking plate and part of the label passes the far right of the picking plate, the vacuum suction cup is lowered to adhere to the label. The slider is moved closer to the picking plate. As the slider moves vertically above the picking plate, it will drive the connecting arm to push the retracting rod, causing the retracting rod to slide in the arc-shaped hole, thereby bending the release paper into an acute angle at the far right of the picking plate. At this time, the part of the label that has passed the far right of the picking plate and is adhered to the vacuum suction cup will lift up and detach from the release paper. Then, negative pressure is applied inside the vacuum suction cup to adsorb the label. Then, the second telescopic rod retracts, first lifting the part of the label that has lifted up. After the label is completely detached from the release paper, the second telescopic rod returns to its original position.

[0014] S3, label application: Raise the vacuum suction cup and label, the hydraulic cylinder pushes the vacuum suction cup above the work plate, and the first telescopic rod extends until the label is attached to the workpiece. The two sets of label application components can label two workpieces simultaneously.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this invention, the release paper is bent into an acute angle at the far right of the picking plate. At this time, the part of the label that is attached to the vacuum suction cup that goes beyond the far right of the picking plate will be lifted up and separated from the release paper. Then, negative pressure is applied to the inside of the vacuum suction cup to adsorb the label. Then, the second telescopic rod retracts to lift up the part of the label that has been lifted up. The success rate of removing the label from the release paper can be effectively guaranteed, and the accuracy of labeling is increased.

[0017] 2. This invention, by setting up two sets of labeling components, can label two workpieces simultaneously. During the workpiece transfer process, the labels can be removed at the same time, saving a lot of waiting time and significantly improving efficiency. Attached Figure Description
