Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field, and in particular to a fully automatic marking device and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] For reusable injection pens, the injection dose can be adjusted according to actual use needs. Usually, corresponding scale values ​​are attached to the outer wall of the dose drum of the injection pen to facilitate the control of the dose.

[0003] With the promotion and use of full automation, in order to improve the assembly efficiency of injection pens and ensure their assembly stability, it is necessary to introduce a fully automated production line for injection pens.

[0004] In the prior art, the scale values ​​on the dosage drum are produced in a semi-automatic manner, where the scale values ​​are marked by manually loading the materials to a marking machine, and then the marking effect is manually checked and the materials are unloaded. Usually, marking and loading and unloading are performed alternately at intervals during this process. In the existing production, there is a lot of manual participation, the labor intensity is high, and the production efficiency needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a fully automatic marking device with a reasonable structure and a production method thereof, thereby realizing fully automatic marking of cylindrical products, and cleverly overlapping the marking and loading and unloading and detection time, so that the marking component that takes a long time can work non-stop, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A fully automatic marking device comprises a working platform, on which a discharging moving module, a material unloading conveying line and an X-direction guide rail are arranged in parallel at intervals along the Y direction; an automatic loading mechanism is connected to the middle of the working platform behind the discharging moving module; a plurality of discharging mechanisms that act independently are installed on the discharging moving module; a plurality of transfer mechanisms that move along the Y direction are arranged horizontally above the material unloading conveying line; a plurality of clamping and rotating mechanisms that move synchronously are installed on the X-direction; a plurality of visual component one groups are installed at intervals along the X direction on the working platform in front of the X-direction; a marking component is installed on the working platform between adjacent visual components one; the number of the marking components is one group less than the number of the visual components one, and the number of the clamping and rotating mechanisms is twice the number of the marking components.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0009] The rear end of the automatic feeding mechanism is connected to an external linear vibrator, and a material dividing rotating mechanism is installed at the front end of the automatic feeding mechanism. The material dividing rotating mechanism orderly separates the cylindrical products closely arranged front and back in the front and back directions.

[0010] The material distribution rotating mechanism also includes a visual component 2, and a clamping rotating component is arranged directly below the visual component 2. The top of the clamping rotating component clamps the cylindrical product through the material distribution clamping piece, and the clamping rotating component drives the cylindrical product to rotate along its own axis.

[0011] The unloading conveyor line comprises unloading conveyor line 1 and unloading conveyor line 2 which are arranged in parallel at intervals. One of the unloading conveyor line 1 and the unloading conveyor line 2 is used for unloading and conveying qualified products, and the other is used for unloading and conveying unqualified products.

[0012] The transfer mechanism is driven by the Y-direction driving mechanism to transfer materials in the Y direction; the number of the transfer mechanisms is the same as the number of the visual component one, and they correspond one to one in the Y direction.

[0013] The structure of a single-group transfer mechanism is as follows: it includes a lifting module installed on the Y-direction driving mechanism, a horizontal rotating power is installed at the output end of the lifting module, a rotating seat is installed at the downward output part of the horizontal rotating power, and two groups of transfer clamps are installed at intervals along the Y direction on the bottom surface of the rotating seat.

[0014] The distance between the two sets of transfer clamps, the distance between the unloading conveyor line and the discharge mechanism in the Y direction, and the distance between the unloading conveyor line and the clamping rotation mechanism are all equal.

[0015] An X-direction translation plate is slidably mounted on the X-direction guide rail, and a plurality of clamping and rotating mechanisms are installed at intervals along the X-direction on the top surface of the X-direction translation plate; an X-direction driving mechanism is installed on the working platform located outside the lateral side of the X-direction guide rail, and the output part of the X-direction driving mechanism is connected to the X-direction translation plate through the connecting plate.

[0016] The distance between adjacent clamping and rotating mechanisms, the distance between adjacent marking components and the first visual component, and the distance of a single movement of the clamping and rotating mechanism in the X direction are equal; the clamping and rotating mechanism is aligned with one of the marking component and the first visual component in the Y direction.

[0017] A production method of the fully automatic marking device comprises the following steps:

[0018] The cylindrical products are fed from the automatic feeding mechanism;

[0019] Multiple groups of discharging mechanisms move in the X direction along the discharging moving module, and the discharging mechanisms distribute the cylindrical products horizontally into multiple groups in the X direction;

[0020] Multiple groups of transfer mechanisms work, and the transfer mechanisms transfer the cylindrical products on the discharge mechanism to the corresponding clamping and rotating mechanisms along the Y direction, so that the cylindrical products to be marked are clamped on the alternate clamping and rotating mechanisms;

[0021] Combined with the image acquisition of the visual component 1, the clamping and rotating mechanism drives the cylindrical product to be marked to rotate to a preset angle with its own axis as the center;

[0022] Multiple groups of clamping and rotating mechanisms move along the X-guide rails with preset steps. The clamping and rotating mechanisms holding the cylindrical products to be marked move to align with the marking components, and the marking components mark the corresponding cylindrical products. At the same time, the clamping and rotating mechanisms located between the intervals of the cylindrical products being marked are docked with the transfer mechanism to perform loading and unloading actions.

[0023] The transfer mechanism transfers the cylindrical product to be marked from the discharging mechanism to the clamping and rotating mechanism. At the same time, the transfer mechanism also transfers the cylindrical product that has been marked from the clamping and rotating mechanism to the unloading conveying line.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The present invention is arranged by combining a discharging mechanism with an automatic feeding mechanism, and can quickly arrange the cylindrical products into multiple groups in an orderly manner along the X direction, effectively ensuring the simultaneous operation of multiple groups of cylindrical products, thereby improving production efficiency;

[0026] The present invention arranges the unloading conveyor line below the transfer mechanism, and ingeniously uses the back-and-forth transfer action of the transfer mechanism in the Y direction. The transfer mechanism can load the cylindrical product from the discharge mechanism to the clamping and rotating mechanism, and can also transfer the marked cylindrical product from the clamping and rotating mechanism to the unloading conveyor line by the transfer mechanism, which not only effectively saves the investment in the loading and unloading mechanism and simplifies the layout of the device, but also makes the overall layout of the device compact, effectively saving the occupied space;

[0027] The present invention arranges the visual component one and the marking component at intervals, and the number of the marking component is one group less than that of the visual component one, so that an appropriate number of clamping and rotating mechanisms can be matched. While the clamping and rotating mechanism is responsible for loading and unloading for marking, the clamping and rotating mechanism is made to move back and forth between the visual component one and the marking component, so as to cleverly overlap the time of marking, loading and unloading, and detection. While realizing fully automatic marking of cylindrical products, it also enables the marking component that takes a longer time to work non-stop, thereby greatly improving production efficiency.

[0028] The present invention also includes the following advantages:

[0029] The setting of the material-dividing and rotating mechanism realizes the orderly spacing between the tightly arranged cylindrical products conveyed by the linear vibrator, which is convenient for the clamping of the subsequent material-dividing mechanism. In particular, it can realize the imaging of the end face of the cylindrical product for end face detection in combination with the visual component 2 while dividing the materials. It can also be combined with the rotation to adjust the angle of the cylindrical product along its own axis, which is convenient for subsequent operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a fully automatic marking device of the present embodiment comprises a working platform 1, on which a discharging moving module 40, a material unloading conveying line and an X-direction guide rail 60 are arranged in parallel at intervals along the Y direction, an automatic loading mechanism 2 is connected to the middle of the working platform 1 located behind the discharging moving module 40, and a plurality of discharging mechanisms 4 which can act independently are installed on the discharging moving module 40; a plurality of transfer mechanisms 5 which can move along the Y direction are arranged horizontally above the material unloading conveying line; a plurality of clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 which can move synchronously are installed on the X-direction guide rail 60, a plurality of visual components 7 are installed at intervals along the X direction on the working platform 1 located in front of the X-direction guide rail 60, and a marking component 8 is installed on the working platform 1 located between adjacent visual components 7; the number of marking components 8 is one less than the number of visual components 7, and the number of clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 is twice the number of marking components 8.

[0050] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the discharging mechanism 4 in combination with the automatic feeding mechanism 2 can quickly arrange the cylindrical products 10 into multiple groups in an orderly manner along the X direction, effectively ensuring the simultaneous operation of multiple groups of cylindrical products 10 and improving production efficiency.

[0051] In this embodiment, a single group of cylindrical products 10 may include two cylindrical products 10 that operate in parallel and synchronously; in actual production, the number of cylindrical products 10 in a single group may also be set to one or more than three according to actual needs.

[0052] In this embodiment, the unloading conveyor line is arranged below the transfer mechanism 5, and the back and forth transfer action of the transfer mechanism 5 in the Y direction is cleverly used. The transfer mechanism 5 can load the cylindrical product 10 from the discharge mechanism 4 to the clamping and rotating mechanism 6, and the transfer mechanism 5 can also transfer the marked cylindrical product 10 from the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 to the unloading conveyor line. This not only effectively saves the investment in the loading and unloading mechanisms and simplifies the layout of the device, but also makes the overall layout of the device compact, effectively saving space.

[0053] In this embodiment, the visual component 7 and the marking component 8 are arranged at intervals, and the number of marking components 8 is one group less than that of the visual component 7, so that an appropriate number of clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 can be matched. While the clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 are responsible for loading and unloading for marking, the clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 are made to move back and forth between the visual component 7 and the marking component 8, so as to cleverly overlap the time of marking, loading and unloading, and detection.

[0054] The rear end of the automatic feeding mechanism 2 is connected to an external linear vibrator, and a material dividing rotating mechanism 3 is installed at the front end of the automatic feeding mechanism 2. The material dividing rotating mechanism 3 orderly separates the cylindrical products 10 closely arranged front and back in the front and back direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting the material distribution rotating mechanism 3, orderly spacing between the closely arranged cylindrical products 10 conveyed by the linear vibrator is achieved, which is convenient for the subsequent clamping of the discharging mechanism 4.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the material dividing rotating mechanism 3 also includes a visual component 2 35, and a clamping rotating component 32 is arranged directly below the visual component 35. The top end of the clamping rotating component 32 clamps the cylindrical product 10 through the material dividing clamping piece 33, and the clamping rotating component 32 drives the cylindrical product 10 to rotate along its own axis.

[0057] In this embodiment, by combining the visual component 2 35 with the clamping and rotating component 32, it is possible to capture the end face of the cylindrical product 10 for end face detection while dividing the materials, and to adjust the angle of the cylindrical product 10 along its own axis in combination with the rotation, which is convenient for subsequent operations.

[0058] In actual use, the visual component 2 35 may be set according to actual needs, or may not be set. The visual component 2 35 in this embodiment may adopt an existing commercially available standard visual camera system that can capture images for judgment.

[0059] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the structure of the material dividing rotating mechanism 3 is as follows: it includes a support base 31 installed on the working platform 1, a loading plate 314 is installed in the middle of the support base 31, a material trough 3140 which passes through the front and back is opened on the loading plate 314, one end of the material trough 3140 is connected to an external linear vibrator, and the linear vibrator conveys tightly arranged cylindrical products 10 into the material trough 3140, and a material dividing clamp 33 is installed at the other end of the material trough 3140; a spacing component 34 is installed above the loading plate 314, and the spacing component 34 spaces the cylindrical products 10 to a preset spacing and transfers them to the material dividing clamp 33 in sequence; a transverse blocking component 36 is also installed on the bottom surface of the loading plate 314.

[0060] In this embodiment, the loading plate 314 can be composed of a plurality of plates arranged at intervals, and the intervals between the plates form a material trough 3140 .

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the support seat 31 includes columns 312 arranged at intervals, a bottom plate 313 is installed together at the lower part of the columns 312, a middle plate 311 is installed together at the middle part of the columns 312, a loading plate 314 is installed above the middle plate 311, and a space capable of accommodating the cylindrical product 10 is formed between the loading plate 314 and the middle plate 311.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, the structure of the spacing component 34 is as follows: it includes a support plate 315 installed on the loading plate 314, a lifting cylinder 341 is installed on the side of the support plate 315, a translation cylinder 342 is installed on the output end of the lifting cylinder 341, a spacing seat 343 is installed on the output end of the translation cylinder 342, and pins 3431 are installed on the bottom surface of the spacing seat 343 at intervals along the length direction of the material trough 3140. The translation cylinder 342 drives the spacing seat 343 to move in a direction consistent with the length direction of the material trough 3140; the lifting cylinder 341 moves downward, and the pin 3431 extends downward into the corresponding cylindrical product 10. Combined with the work of the translation cylinder 342, the cylindrical product 10 is pushed forward to a preset position through the pin 3431 to achieve the spacing of adjacent cylindrical products 10.

[0063] In this embodiment, two groups of pins 3431 can be installed at intervals in the front and rear of the bottom of the spacing seat 343. The rear pin 3431 moves the first front one of the closely arranged cylindrical products 10 forward to the middle position, and then the front pin 3431 moves the cylindrical product 10 in the middle position forward to the clamping position of the dividing clamp 33; through the setting of the front and rear groups of pins 3431, they move forward synchronously and simultaneously, effectively ensuring the interval distribution of the corresponding cylindrical products 10 and effectively ensuring the operating efficiency.

[0064] like Figure 6As shown, the structure of the transverse blocking assembly 36 is as follows: it includes a blocking cylinder 361 and a blocking seat 365 installed on the bottom surface of the loading plate 314 at front and rear intervals, a movable plate 362 is installed at the output end of the blocking cylinder 361, and the movable plate 362 is slidably mounted on the blocking seat 365 front and back; transverse grooves 3651 are spaced apart at the edge of the blocking seat 365 front and back, and a blocking member 360 is slidably mounted in the transverse groove 3651; a sliding groove 3621 is opened on the moving plate 362, and the inner end of the blocking member 360 is mounted in the sliding groove 3621 via a sliding pin 363; an upper cover 364 is also installed above the blocking member 360 and the moving plate 362, and the upper cover 364 is fixedly locked with the blocking seat 365, so that the blocking member 360 and the sliding groove 3621 are accommodated inside.

[0065] Through the operation of the blocking cylinder 361, the front and rear groups of blocking members 360 alternately switch between the two states of lateral extension and lateral retraction. The lateral blocking component 36 blocks and switches the first of the tightly arranged cylindrical products 10 in the material trough 3140, helping to ensure the spacing operation of the spacing component 34.

[0066] In this embodiment, the clamping rotation assembly 32 may include a motor, and a clamping finger cylinder is installed at the upward output end of the motor, and the clamping finger cylinder drives the material dividing clamping member 33 to clamp the cylindrical product 10.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, multiple groups of discharge mechanisms 4 can be installed on the discharge moving module 40. When the cylindrical products 10 in the automatic feeding mechanism 2 are discharged through the discharge mechanism 4, each group of discharge mechanisms 4 works independently and can avoid each other in position on the discharge moving module 40.

[0068] In this embodiment, the discharging mechanism 4 can be six groups corresponding to the transfer mechanism 5, or can be set to five groups or other numbers according to actual use requirements.

[0069] In one embodiment, considering the stability and reliability of the cylindrical product 10 being fed by the linear vibrator and the need to detect one end surface of the cylindrical product 10 in the material distribution rotating mechanism 3, the cylindrical product 10 needs to be turned upside down during the discharge process of the cylindrical product 10 by the discharge mechanism 4. Figure 8 As shown, the structure of the discharge mechanism 4 is as follows: it includes a discharge seat 41 slidably mounted on a discharge moving module 40, a discharge turning power 43 is mounted on the discharge seat 41, a turning arm 44 is mounted on the output end of the side of the discharge turning power 43, and discharge clamps 42 are respectively mounted on both ends of the turning arm 44. Through the operation of the discharge turning power 43, the cylindrical product 10 can be turned upside down during the discharge process of the discharge mechanism 4.

[0070] In other embodiments, the discharge mechanism 4 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, when the discharge mechanism 4 only plays a discharge role, it can be a linear force moving along the Y direction combined with a discharge clamp 42 to achieve the discharge of the cylindrical product 10 in the X direction and the transfer in the Y direction.

[0071] The unloading conveyor line includes an unloading conveyor line 11 and an unloading conveyor line 12 which are arranged in parallel at intervals. One of the unloading conveyor line 11 and the unloading conveyor line 12 is used for unloading and conveying qualified products, and the other is used for unloading and conveying unqualified products, thereby cleverly utilizing the visual component 7 to detect the marked cylindrical product 10, and performing corresponding unloading operations according to the detection results.

[0072] The transfer mechanism 5 is driven by the Y-direction driving mechanism 50 to transfer materials in the Y direction; the number of the transfer mechanisms 5 is the same as the number of the visual components 7, and they correspond one to one in the Y direction; thus, after the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the cylindrical product 10 to the corresponding clamping and rotating mechanism 6, the visual component 7 can directly perform visual inspection to adjust the angle, etc., and before the cylindrical product 10 is marked and moved to align with the transfer mechanism 5 for unloading, it can also be inspected by the visual component 7 to determine whether the marking is qualified or not, and facilitate the corresponding unloading of the transfer mechanism 5 on the unloading conveyor line.

[0073] like Fig. 9 As shown, the Y-direction driving mechanism 50 is combined with the Y-direction guiding assembly 52 and is provided with a support 51 which moves along the Y-direction. A plurality of transfer mechanisms 5 can be installed at intervals on the support 51 according to actual needs, so that the transfer mechanism 5 can be driven to move in the Y-direction through the operation of the Y-direction driving mechanism 50 to realize the transfer action.

[0074] like Fig.10 As shown, the structure of the single-group transfer mechanism 5 is: it includes a lifting module 53 installed on the Y-direction driving mechanism 50, the output end of the lifting module 53 is installed with a horizontal rotating power 54, the downward output part of the horizontal rotating power 54 is installed with a rotating seat 55, and the bottom surface of the rotating seat 55 is installed with two groups of transfer clamps 56 at intervals along the Y direction.

[0075] In this embodiment, combined with the operation of the horizontal rotating power 54 and the lifting module 53, a group of transfer clamps 56 can be used for loading and unloading, while another group of transfer clamps 56 can be used for unloading and unloading. In addition, the cylindrical product 10 can be selectively unloaded onto the unloading conveyor line 11 or the unloading conveyor line 2 12 based on the marking detection of the subsequent visual component 17.

[0076] The distance between the two groups of transfer clamps 56, the distance between the unloading conveyor line and the discharge mechanism 4 in the Y direction, and the distance between the unloading conveyor line and the clamping rotation mechanism 6 are all equal.

[0077] In this embodiment, the distance between the discharge mechanism 4 and the adjacent unloading conveyor line 11, and the distance between the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 and the adjacent unloading conveyor line 2 12 are equal, so that when one group of transferring and clamping members 56 in the transferring mechanism 5 loads materials from the discharge mechanism 4, another group of transferring and clamping members 56 simultaneously unloads materials toward the unloading conveyor line 11; similarly, when one group of transferring and clamping members 56 in the transferring mechanism 5 loads materials toward the clamping and rotating mechanism 6, another group of transferring and clamping members 56 simultaneously unloads materials toward the unloading conveyor line 2 12, thereby achieving that the transferring mechanism 5 can selectively unload materials toward the unloading conveyor line 11 and the unloading conveyor line 2 12 while loading and transferring materials.

[0078] When the visual component 7 is not required to perform post-marking inspection, only one set of unloading conveyor lines needs to be set up under the transfer mechanism 5. According to actual usage requirements, the transfer mechanism 5 can take into account both loading and unloading.

[0079] like Fig.11 As shown, an X-direction translation plate 61 is slidably mounted on the X-direction guide rail 60, and a plurality of groups of clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 are installed at intervals along the X-direction on the top surface of the X-direction translation plate 61; an X-direction driving mechanism 62 is installed on the working platform 1 located laterally outside the X-direction guide rail 60, and the output part of the X-direction driving mechanism 62 is connected to the X-direction translation plate 61 through a connecting plate 63; thereby, through the operation of the X-direction driving mechanism 62, the plurality of groups of clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 are driven to move synchronously in the X-direction through the connecting plate 63 and the X-direction translation plate 61.

[0080] The distance between adjacent clamping and rotating mechanisms 6, the distance between adjacent marking components 8 and visual components 7, and the distance of a single movement of the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 in the X direction are all equal; the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 is aligned with one of the marking components 8 and the visual component 7 in the Y direction; thus, when the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 is driven by the X-direction driving mechanism 62 to move a preset step distance in the X direction, the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 can always be aligned with the marking component 8 or the visual component 7 to perform loading and unloading or marking operations, thereby achieving synchronization of loading and unloading and marking.

[0081] like Fig.12 As shown, the structure of the single-group clamping and rotating mechanism 6 is: it includes an inverted U-shaped translation seat 602 installed on the X-axis translation plate 61, and a rotating motor 601 is installed on the inner side of the translation seat 602. The output end of the rotating motor 601 passes upward through the translation seat 602 and is then installed with an internal support assembly 603. After the internal support assembly 603 receives the cylindrical product 10 from the transfer mechanism 5, the cylindrical product 10 is supported from the inside to be clamped and fixed.

[0082] In this embodiment, the internal support assembly 603 can adopt an existing conventional structure, and can achieve internal support fixation of the cylindrical product 10 from the inside.

[0083] In this embodiment, the visual component 7 can adopt an existing commercially available standard visual camera system, which can realize the image capture and judgment of the cylindrical product 10.

[0084] In this embodiment, the marking component 8 can be selected from existing commercially available products according to actual needs, such as a laser marking machine.

[0085] The production method of the fully automatic marking device of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0086] The first step: the cylindrical product 10 is loaded from the automatic loading mechanism 2.

[0087] In this embodiment, a material dividing rotating mechanism 3 can be set according to actual needs. The tightly arranged cylindrical products 10 output by the automatic feeding mechanism 2 are spaced apart in the Y direction by the material dividing rotating mechanism 3. The clamping of the clamping rotating component 32 can also be combined with the visual component 2 35 to detect the end face of the cylindrical product 10, such as the notch and other feature detection of the end face of the cylindrical product 10; and then the discharging mechanism 4 takes the material from the clamping rotating component 32.

[0088] Step 2: Multiple groups of discharging mechanisms 4 move in the X direction along the discharging moving module 40, and the discharging mechanisms 4 distribute the cylindrical products 10 horizontally into multiple groups in the X direction.

[0089] In this embodiment, the discharging mechanism 4 can be set according to actual use requirements. For example, the discharging mechanism 4 includes a discharging turning power 43. After the discharging clamping member 42 at one end of the turning arm 44 clamps and feeds the material from the automatic feeding mechanism 2, the turning arm 44 rotates in the vertical direction through the operation of the discharging turning power 43, thereby turning the discharging clamping member 42 clamping the cylindrical product 10 toward the transfer mechanism 5, and the cylindrical product 10 is turned upside down.

[0090] Step 3: Multiple groups of transfer mechanisms 5 are in operation, and the transfer mechanisms 5 transfer the cylindrical products 10 on the discharge mechanism 4 to the corresponding clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 along the Y direction, so that the cylindrical products 10 to be marked are clamped on the spaced clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 .

[0091] Step 4: In combination with the image acquisition of the visual component 1 7 , the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 drives the cylindrical product 10 to be marked to rotate to a preset angle with its own axial direction as the center.

[0092] Step 5: Multiple groups of clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 move along the X-guide rail 60 with preset steps, and the clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 holding the cylindrical products 10 to be marked move to align with the marking components 8, and the marking components 8 mark the corresponding cylindrical products 10; at the same time, the clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 located between the intervals of the cylindrical products 10 being marked are docked with the transfer mechanism 5 to perform loading and unloading operations.

[0093] Step 6: The transfer mechanism 5 transfers the cylindrical product 10 to be marked from the discharging mechanism 4 to the clamping and rotating mechanism 6. At the same time, the transfer mechanism 5 also transfers the cylindrical product 10 that has been marked from the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 to the unloading conveyor line.

[0094] During the unloading process of the transfer mechanism 5 , the transfer mechanism 5 can also selectively unload the marked cylindrical product 10 onto the unloading conveyor line 1 11 or the unloading conveyor line 2 12 according to the imaging result of the visual component 1 7 .

[0095] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, six groups of transfer mechanisms 5 (transfer 1-transfer 6), ten groups of clamping and rotating mechanisms 6 (A1-A10), six groups of visual components 7 (B1-B6) and five groups of marking components 8 (C1-C5) can be set, as shown in Table 1 below, as the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 moves back and forth in the X direction (position one, position two), the action connection and coordination between it and the transfer mechanism 5, the visual component 7 and the marking component 8.

[0096]

[0097] Table 1

[0098] It can be seen that when in position one, the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 (A1, A3, A5, A7, A9) corresponds to the transfer mechanism 5 and the visual component 7, and can carry out loading and unloading of marking, as well as imaging, adjustment and detection operations. At the same time, the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 (A2, A4, A6, A8, A10) corresponds to the marking component 8 to carry out marking operations; when in position one, the transfer 6 in the transfer mechanism 5 does not move.

[0099] When in position two, the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 (A1, A3, A5, A7, A9) is translated along the X direction to align with the marking component 8, and the marking operation can be carried out; at the same time, the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 (A2, A4, A6, A8, A10) that was originally in the marking state in position one is translated to align with the transfer mechanism 5 and the visual component 7, and loading and unloading, imaging, adjustment and detection operations can be carried out; when in position two, the transfer 1 in the transfer mechanism 5 does not move.

[0100] Thus, by arranging the positions and coordinating the actions of the transfer mechanism 5, the clamping and rotating mechanism 6, the visual component 7 and the marking component 8, the marking operation time which is relatively long can be effectively overlapped and utilized. While the marking operation is in progress, image detection and unloading after marking as well as loading and angle rotation adjustment operations before marking can be performed.

[0101] In actual use, the corresponding number of transfer mechanisms 5, clamping and rotating mechanisms 6, visual components 7 and marking components 8 can be set according to actual needs, so that the loading and unloading of marking can overlap with the marking operation time.

[0102] The present invention realizes fully automatic marking of cylindrical products, and cleverly overlaps the marking time with loading and unloading and testing time, so that the marking component that takes a long time can work non-stop, greatly improving the production efficiency.

[0103] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
