When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0031] The specific embodiments described in this article are merely examples of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or replace them in a similar manner, but they will not deviate from the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the attached claims.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a feeding mechanism of a tag machine includes: a storage device 1, a material taking device 2 and a material transporting device 3.

[0033] Among them, the material storage device 1 includes a first seat body 11 and a second seat body 12, the number of the second seat bodies 12 is at least two, and a material collection space 13 is formed between each of the second seat bodies 12 and the first seat body 11. The first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 both protrude toward the material collection space 13 to form a material storage convex edge 14, and the two material storage convex edges 14 are respectively used to support the two sides of the tag.

[0034] Among them, the material picking device 2 includes a rotating drive element 21, a rotating seat 22, a material picking drive element 23 and a material picking unit 24. The number of the rotating seat 22, the material picking drive element 23 and the material picking unit 24 is the same as the number of the second seat body 12. The rotating drive element 21 is fixed relative to the first seat body 11, the rotating seat 22 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating drive element 21, the rotating drive element 21 can drive the rotating seat 22 to rotate, the material picking drive element 23 is connected to the rotating seat 22, the material picking unit 24 is connected to the output shaft of the material picking drive element 23, the material picking drive element 23 can drive the material picking unit 24 to move relative to the rotating seat 22, and the rotating seat 22 can rotate to a material picking position or a material discharging position.

[0035] The material transport device 3 includes a material transport driving element 31 and a material transport plate 32 . The material transport driving element 31 is fixed relative to the first base body 11 . The material transport driving element 31 can drive the material transport plate 32 to move. The material transport plate 32 can move to the bottom of each of the material picking units 24 .

[0036] When the rotating seat 22 rotates to the discharge position and the material transporting plate 32 passes under each of the material taking units 24 in sequence, the material taking units 24 at each corresponding position put down the hanging tags so that the hanging tags are stacked on the material transporting plate 32 .

[0037] Specifically, the hanging tag in the picking space 13 is lifted by the material storage ridges 14 of the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12, and then the picking drive element 23 in the picking device 2 drives the picking unit 24 to contact the hanging tag at the bottom of the picking space 13, so as to pull the hanging tag out from between the two material storage ridges 14. The picking unit 24 is a suction cup, which absorbs the hanging tag and then drives the rotating seat 22 to drive the picking unit 24 to rotate. At this time, the transport drive unit in the transport device 3 drives the transport shift to pass under each picking unit 24 in turn, and the hanging tags absorbed by the picking unit 24 fall onto the transport plate 32 in turn for stacking.

[0038] In this embodiment, the simple structural design of the material storage convex edge 14 can not only ensure that the tag will not slip when stored, but also facilitate the use of the material taking unit 24. By adjusting the type of the tag in the material taking space 13 and then stacking them in sequence after passing through the material taking unit 24 through the material transport plate 32, tag groups of different orders, quantities and types can be assembled. The operation is simple and the work efficiency is improved.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a limit assembly 4, the number of the limit assemblies 4 is the same as the number of the second seat body 12, each of the limit assemblies 4 includes two limit plates 41, and the limit plates 41 are movably connected to the first seat body 11. The two limit plates 41 of the same limit assembly 4 can approach or move away from each other.

[0040] In this embodiment, each second seat body 12 corresponds to two limit plates 41, and at the same time forms a material collection space 13 for accommodating hang tags with the first seat body 11. Different hang tags can be placed in each material collection space 13, and the hang tags in each material collection space 13 can be arranged and combined into various hang tag groups.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a lifting block 5 and a first connecting member 51, the lifting block 5 is liftably connected to the first seat body 11, the number of the first connecting members 51 is two, one end of the two first connecting members 51 is rotatably connected to the two limit plates 41 respectively, and the other ends of the two first connecting members 51 are rotatably connected to the lifting block 5.

[0042] Specifically, the two first connecting members 51 form an angle with the lifting block 5. When the lifting block 5 descends, the angle increases, pushing the limit plates 41 on both sides away from each other. When the lifting block 5 rises, the angle decreases, pulling the limit plates 41 on both sides closer together.

[0043] In this embodiment, the distance between the two limit plates 41 is controlled by adjusting the height of the lifting block 5, so that the material collection space 13 formed between the two limit plates 41 can be used to place hang tags of different sizes, so that the same set of equipment can process hang tags of various sizes without replacing different hardware components, thereby enhancing the versatility of the equipment.

[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a handle screw 52, ​​and the handle screw 52 includes a rotating part 53 and a threaded part 54, the rotating part 53 is connected to the threaded part 54, the rotating part 53 is rotatably connected to the first seat body 11, and the lifting block 5 is provided with a threaded hole (not shown in the figure), and the threaded part 54 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0045] Specifically, the threaded portion 54 of the handle screw 52 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the lifting block 5. When the handle screw 52 is rotatably connected to the first seat body 11 through the rotating portion 53, when the handle screw 52 rotates, the lifting block 5 is lifted and lowered along the length direction of the threaded portion 54, thereby changing the angle between the first connecting parts 51, and then controlling the spacing between the two limit plates 41.

[0046] In this embodiment, the vertical movement of the lifting block 5 is achieved by rotating the handle screw 52, ​​so that the position of the lifting block 5 can be accurately controlled, and then the spacing between the limit plates 41 can be finely adjusted. Due to the use of a threaded connection, when the handle stops rotating, the lifting block 5 can remain in the current position and will not move by itself due to gravity or other external forces, providing a good self-locking function to ensure the stability of the position of the limit plate 41.

[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a first fastener 6, the second seat body 12 is provided with two first adjustment holes 121, the limiting plate 41 is provided with a second adjustment hole 411, at least one of the first adjustment holes 121 is set as a strip hole, the first fastener 6 can move along the length direction of the first adjustment hole 121, the first fastener 6 passes through the first adjustment hole 121 and the second adjustment hole 411 so as to fix the second seat body 12 relative to the limiting plate 41.

[0048] Specifically, at least one of the first adjustment holes 121 is a strip hole. When the fastener passes through the strip hole and is fixed to the second adjustment hole 411 , the distance between the two limit plates 41 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the fastener between the strip holes.

[0049] In this embodiment, the design of the strip hole allows adjustment within a certain range, but once the fastener is fixed, the position of the limit plate 41 can remain stable and is not prone to displacement or loosening, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the system.

[0050] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the second adjustment hole 411 is a strip hole, the length direction of the second adjustment hole 411 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first adjustment hole 121 , and the first fastener 6 can move along the length direction of the second adjustment hole 411 .

[0051] Specifically, the second adjustment hole 411 is a bar-shaped hole. When the fastener passes through the first adjustment hole 121 and the second adjustment hole 411 , the distance between the first base 11 and the second base 12 can be controlled by adjusting the position of the fastener in the second adjustment hole 411 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the design of the bar hole can be used to adjust the material collection space 13 to accommodate tags of different sizes. The design structure of the bar hole is simple, low-cost, and easy to maintain, reducing the high maintenance costs and downtime caused by complex mechanical structures.

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it further includes a limit baffle 7 , and the limit baffle 7 is rotatably connected to the second seat body 12 .

[0054] Specifically, the limit baffle 7 is rotatably connected to the second base body 12, so that the limit baffle 7 plays different roles in different positions. When the limit baffle 7 and the second base body 12 are in the same straight line, the limit baffle 7 can fix and limit the position of the hang tag to prevent the hang tag from moving or sliding freely in the material picking space 13. When the number of hang tags in the material picking space 13 is insufficient, the limit baffle 7 can be flipped downward to replenish the hang tags in the material picking space 13.

[0055] In this embodiment, the limit baffle 7 is designed to be flipped and connected to the second base body 12, which can not only fix the hang tag but also easily replenish the hang tag, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the second seat body 12 is provided with a first magnetic seat 122 , and the end of the limit baffle 7 close to the second seat body 12 is provided with a first magnetic member 71 , and the first magnetic seat 122 can attract the first magnetic member 71 .

[0057] Specifically, when the limit baffle 7 rotates close to the second seat body 12, the first magnetic seat 122 will attract the first magnetic component 71 to fix the limit baffle 7. When the limit baffle 7 is flipped downward, the first magnetic component 71 moves away from the first magnetic seat 122, and the first magnetic seat 122 can no longer attract the first magnetic component 71.

[0058] In this embodiment, the magnetic fixation between the first magnetic seat 122 and the first magnetic member 71 can facilitate the fixation of the limit baffle 7, while also ensuring that the limit baffle 7 will not move or become loose due to slight collision and vibration.

[0059] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a pressing block 8 is further included. The pressing block 8 is located in the material taking space 13 and is movably connected to the limiting plate 41. The pressing block 8 is used to press the hang tag.

[0060] Specifically, the limiting plate 41 is provided with a vertical lifting groove, and the pressing block 8 is partially accommodated in the lifting groove and is liftably connected to the limiting plate 41 . The pressing block 8 can press the hanging tag below by its own gravity.

[0061] In this embodiment, the pressing block 8 is used to fix the hanging tags stacked as a whole in the material taking space 13 . The structure is simple and can ensure that the material taking element can contact the hanging tags at the bottom of the material taking space 13 .

[0062] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the limiting plate 41 is provided with a second magnetic seat 412 , the pressing block 8 is provided with a second magnetic member 81 , and the second magnetic seat 412 can attract the second magnetic member 81 .

[0063] Specifically, the magnetic seat is arranged on the top of the limit plate 41. When the number of tags in the material taking space 13 needs to be supplemented, the pressing block 8 can be moved upward close to the second magnetic seat 412. At this time, the second magnetic seat 412 will attract the second magnetic part 81 on the pressing block 8 to fix the pressing block 8.

[0064] In this embodiment, the magnetic fixation of the second magnetic seat 412 and the second magnetic member 81 can facilitate the fixation of the pressing block 8, while also ensuring that the stopper will not fall off due to slight collision and vibration.
