DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiment is only one embodiment of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] "Embodiment" referred to herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present application. In the description of the embodiment of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second" and "third" etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined as "first", "second" and "third" etc. may include one or more of the features explicitly or implicitly. Moreover, the terms "first", "second" and "third" etc. are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiment of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "for" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a fabric labeling machine, including a machine table 1, wherein the machine table 1 includes a fabric placement table 11 and a drive mechanism mounting frame 12, and fabrics are stacked on the fabric placement table 11. In other embodiments, fabrics can also be stacked on an extended surface horizontal to the mounting table 11, such as an additional stacking platform, etc. The drive mechanism mounting frame 12 is installed above the fabric placement table 11, and a turning mechanism 2, a labeling mechanism 3 and a label feeding mechanism 4 are installed between the fabric placement table 11 and the drive mechanism mounting frame 12. The turning mechanism 2 is used to turn over the stacked fabrics layer by layer, and the labeling mechanism 3 is installed on the drive mechanism mounting frame 12, and is used to stick the marked label on the fabric to be marked. The label feeding mechanism 4 is installed on the mounting table, located below the labeling mechanism 3, and marks numbers and / or graphics and / or letters on the labels. In one embodiment of the present application, the material turning mechanism 2 and the labeling mechanism 3 are both installed on the driving mechanism mounting frame 12 and are respectively located on both sides of the driving mechanism mounting frame 12 .

[0037] The driving mechanism mounting frame 12 includes a plurality of support columns 121 mounted on the mounting table 11. In this example, the number of the support columns 121 is 4, and a mounting plate 122 is provided at one end of the 4 support columns 121 away from the mounting table 11, and a material turning mechanism installation station or a labeling mechanism installation station is provided between the mounting plate 122 and the mounting table 11.

[0038] In this embodiment, the material turning mechanism 2 includes a spider arm mechanical arm 21 and a material picking mechanism 22 fixed on the spider arm mechanical arm 21, the spider arm mechanical arm 21 includes 4 groups of drive motors, and the 4 groups of drive motors are respectively connected to the material picking mechanism 22 through 4 groups of movable connecting rods. Through the precise operation of the spider arm mechanical arm 21 in three degrees of freedom, the material picking mechanism 22 can accurately pick up the cloth and turn the cloth through the spider arm mechanical arm 21. The material picking mechanism 22 is a vacuum nozzle material picking mechanism or a needle punch material picking mechanism. In a preferred implementation of this embodiment, after the material picking mechanism 22 picks up a layer of cloth, the spider arm mechanical arm 21 drives the cloth to move first in a direction away from the surface of the cloth, and then turns the cloth in a direction away from the machine 1, thereby realizing the turning of the cloth.

[0039] The labeling mechanism 3 includes a PPU manipulator 31 installed on a driving mechanism mounting frame 12 and a suction nozzle 32 fixed at the movable end of the PPU manipulator 31. The suction nozzle 32 is installed at the movable end of the PPU manipulator 31 through a fixed plate. The suction nozzle 32 reciprocates between the cloth and the label feeding mechanism 4 under the drive of the PPU manipulator 31.

[0040] like Figure 2-3 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the label feeding mechanism 4 in the embodiment of the present application, including a label feeder 41 and a marking machine 42, a marking machine driving mechanism 43 is arranged between the label feeder 41 and the marking machine 42, and the marking machine driving mechanism 43 drives the marking machine to move along the first direction to have a marking station and an ink supply station, and the marking machine driving mechanism includes a pair of first slide rails 431 arranged on the label feeder 41, a first slider 432 is installed on each of the pair of first slide rails 431, a support plate 433 is installed on each of the second sliders, and a group of second slide rails 435 are also respectively arranged on the pair of support plates 433, and a second slider 436 is respectively arranged on the pair of second slide rails 435, and the marking machine 42 is fixedly installed between the pair of second sliders 436.

[0041] like Figure 4As shown, a third slider 437 is also installed on each of the pair of first slide rails 431, and a guide mechanism 439 is fixedly installed on the pair of third sliders 437. The guide mechanism 439 includes a pair of first guide parts 4391 arranged along the first direction and a sloped second guide part 4392 connected to the first guide part 4391. A cam 421 is arranged on each side of the marking machine 42, and the surfaces of the pair of cams 421 are respectively located on the pair of first guide parts 4391. The third slider 437 is fixedly connected to a first cylinder 434, and the first cylinder 434 is fixed on the machine platform, and its movable end is connected to the third slider 437. The reciprocating motion of the first cylinder 434 can realize the reciprocating motion of the cam 421 on the first guide part 4391 and the second guide part 4392, thereby realizing that the support plate 433 drives the marking machine 42 to reciprocate along the first direction.

[0042] The guide mechanism 439 is also provided with an ink supply mechanism 438, and the ink supply mechanism 438 is installed between a pair of first guide parts 4391. The ink supply mechanism 438 includes an ink cartridge 4381, and the ink cartridge 4381 is arranged below the marking machine 42. After the marking machine 42 completes marking, the marking machine 42 is provided with ink for dipping. The ink cartridge 4381 is fixedly connected with an ink cartridge connecting rod 4382, and a second cylinder 4383 is arranged at one end of the ink cartridge connecting rod 4382 away from the ink cartridge 4381. The ink cartridge connecting rod 4382 is located between the ink cartridge 4381 and the second cylinder 4383. A pin 4384 is arranged between the ink cartridge 4381 and the second cylinder 4383, and the pin 4384 fixes the ink cartridge connecting rod 4382 after passing it through the protrusion between the pair of first guide parts 4391. As a result, the second cylinder 4383 presses down the ink cartridge connecting rod 4382 and drives the ink cartridge 4381 to move toward the marking machine 42. In one embodiment of the present application, a sponge that absorbs ink is provided in the ink cartridge 4381. After the marking machine dips the sponge that absorbs ink, it can perform the next labeling action. When the first cylinder 434 drives the guide mechanism 439 to reciprocate the marking machine 42 on the first guide part 4391 and the second guide part 4392, the marking machine 42 has two actions: marking and dipping ink. That is, when the cam 421 moves to the second guide part 4392, the marking machine 42 performs the action of marking the cloth. When the cam 421 moves to the first guide part 4391, the second cylinder 4383 drives the ink cartridge 4381 to supply ink to the marking machine. In one embodiment of the present application, the marking machine 42 is connected to the machine platform through a spring. When the cam 421 moves to the second guide part 4392, it is driven by the spring contraction, which is more efficient. The guide mechanism 439 has a compact structure, a small action beat, and a stable product.

[0043] After the label feeder 41 places the label from the material roll to the label numbering station, the marking machine 42, under the drive of the first cylinder 434, moves along the surface of the first guide part 4391 and the second guide part 4392 through the cam 42, so that the marking machine 42 moves to a position close to the label. After moving into position, the marking machine 42 prints the number or mark on the label, and then the marking machine 42, under the drive of the first cylinder 434, moves from the second guide part 4392 to the first guide part 4391, and finally the cam 421 is located on the first guide part 4391. At this time, the second cylinder 4383 is pressed down to drive the ink cartridge 4381 to approach the marking machine 42, completing the action of supplying and removing ink to the marking machine 42.

[0044] While the marking machine 42 is supplying and taking out ink, the PPU robot 31 drives the suction nozzle 32 to move above the label, takes the label away and moves it above the cloth, and sticks the label on the cloth. Thereafter, the spider arm 21 flips the labeled cloth, completing a labeling process.

[0045] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present application, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present application and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present application. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present application is limited by the attached claims rather than the above description, and it is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present application.
