DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0046] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings Figures 1 to 16 The present application is further described in detail.
[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application discloses a mixed investment labeling machine, which comprises a product conveying device 1, a product sensor 2, a plurality of label feeders 3, a labeling manipulator 4, a down cylinder 5, a quick-change suction head 6, a first camera 7, a second camera 8 and a third camera 9. The product sensor 2 is used for sensing a product 100 to be labeled. The product conveying device 1 is used for conveying the product 100 to be labeled and is paused when the product sensor 2 senses the product 100 to be labeled. The plurality of label feeders 3 are respectively used for providing various labels. The down cylinder 5 is arranged on the labeling manipulator 4. The quick-change suction head 6 is arranged on the down cylinder 5. The labeling manipulator 4 is used for driving the down cylinder 5 and the quick-change suction head 6 to move. The quick-change suction head 6 is used for sucking labels from the label feeders 3. The down cylinder 5 is used for driving the quick-change suction head 6 to ascend and descend, so as to attach the labels on the product 100. The first camera 7 is a large-view camera and is arranged above the product conveying device 1. The first camera 7 is used for product 100 identification and visual preliminary positioning of the product 100 to be labeled on the product conveying device 1. The second camera 8 is an upper camera and is used for visual precise positioning of the labels sucked by the quick-change suction head 6. The third camera 9 is arranged on the labeling manipulator 4 and is used for visual precise positioning of the product 100 to be labeled on the product conveying device 1.
[0048] There are various ways to analyze the type of product 100 by taking pictures with the first camera 7. One is to identify and determine according to the shape, color and special features of the surface of the product 100. The other is to print bar codes and two-dimensional codes on the surface of the product 100, and to determine the type of product 100 by reading the bar codes and two-dimensional codes. In the embodiment, the first camera 7 is also used for reading the two-dimensional code 101 on the product 100 to be labeled, so as to identify the product 100.
[0049] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10The labeling manipulator 4 is provided with multiple sets of pressing air cylinders 5 and quick-change suction heads 6, and multiple labels are sucked and attached at one time. More specifically, the number of the pressing air cylinders 5 and the quick-change suction heads 6 is three, which are respectively arranged at three sides of the labeling manipulator 4, and the third camera 9 is arranged at the remaining one side of the labeling manipulator 4, so that the layout is reasonable, the components do not affect each other, and the labeling manipulator 4 can work at the same time. The shape of each quick-change suction head 6 can also be inconsistent, so that the labels can be set according to the types of the labels, and the efficiency of taking and attaching the labels can be improved.
[0050] With reference to Figure 5 The product conveying device 1 is provided with a vertical baffle 11 with adjustable transverse position, which is used to limit the use range of the product conveying device 1 and guide the conveying position of the product 100 to a certain extent. The visual recognition system is set to recognize only part of the photo, so that the calculation amount can be reduced.
[0051] With reference to Figure 7 The label feeder 3 is a double-layer label feeder 3, and multiple label feeders 3 are arranged horizontally and side by side. There are five sets of double-layer label feeders 3 in this embodiment, which can provide up to ten different labels, and the number range of the mixed products 100 can also be appropriately increased.
[0052] With reference to Figure 8 The labeling manipulator 4 is a four-axis servo manipulator, and a six-axis servo manipulator can also be selected. Compared with the traditional three-axis manipulator, the four-axis servo manipulator can be more accurately positioned and moved in three-dimensional space, and more precise control and operation can be realized.
[0053] With reference to Figures 11 to 16The quick-change suction head 6 includes a positioning seat 61, a suction head body 62, and a sealing ring 63. An air passage on the positioning seat 61 is communicated with an air passage of the suction head body 62, and the sealing ring 63 is arranged between the positioning seat 61 and the suction head body 62 to seal the connecting part of the air passages. The upper surface of the suction head body 62 is provided with a plurality of positioning pins 621, and the lower surface is provided with a soft rubber pad 622. The positioning seat 61 includes an upper cover 611, a lower cover 612, and a locking disc 613. The locking disc 613 is arranged between the upper cover 611 and the lower cover 612 and can rotate horizontally around the axis thereof. The side surface of the locking disc 613 is provided with a rotating rod 6131 which extends out of the upper cover 611 and the lower cover 612. The lower cover 612 is provided with a plurality of first locking holes 6121 which are one-to-one corresponding to the positions of the positioning pins 621. The locking disc 613 is provided with a plurality of second locking holes 6132 which include locking holes 6133 and unlocking holes 6134 that are communicated with each other. The upper end of the positioning pin 621 can be inserted into the first locking hole 6121 and the unlocking hole 6134. The upper end of the positioning pin 621 is provided with an annular groove, and the locking hole 6133 can lock the upper end of the positioning pin 621.
[0054] The soft rubber pad 622 can better attach and maintain the pressure of the label, and can avoid deforming the product 100.
[0055] The positioning seat 61 is fixedly arranged on the lifting air cylinder, the suction head body 62 is detachably arranged on the positioning seat 61, and the sealing ring 63 is sleeved on the column of the suction head body 62. When the suction head body 62 is installed, the rotating rod 6131 is rotated to the unlocking position. At this time, the first locking hole 6121 is opposite to the unlocking hole 6134 of the second locking hole 6132. Since the diameter of the unlocking hole 6134 is greater than that of the head of the positioning pin 621, the positioning pin 621 can be inserted into the first locking hole 6121 and the unlocking hole 6134 of the second locking hole 6132. After installation, the rotating rod 6131 is rotated to the locking position. At this time, the locking hole 6133 of the second locking hole 6132 moves to directly above the first locking hole 6121. Since the diameter of the locking hole 6133 is smaller than that of the head of the positioning pin 621, the positioning pin 621 is clamped and cannot be separated, so as to be stably fixed on the positioning seat 61. When the suction head body 62 is detached, the rotating rod 6131 is rotated to the unlocking position, the positioning pin 621 can be separated from the unlocking hole 6134 of the second locking hole 6132, and the suction head body 62 can be directly pulled out. The quick-change suction head 6 can quickly replace the suction head body 62, and can quickly adapt to the rapid replacement of the mixed-injection product 100. The sealing ring 63 between the positioning seat 61 and the suction head body 62 can seal the air passages at the connecting parts of the positioning seat 61 and the suction head body 62, and can prevent air leakage.
[0056] Referring to Figure 15 and Figure 16The lower cover 612 of the positioning seat 61 is provided with an elastic knock bead 64, the elastic knock bead 64 is in elastic abutment with the locking disc 613, and the upper surface of the pull rod 6131 is provided with a positioning pit 6135 at the corresponding position. When the elastic knock bead 64 is sunk into the positioning pit 6135, the locking disc 613 is in a relatively stable state and cannot be unlocked accidentally, and the worker needs to pull the pull rod 6131 to unlock.
[0057] The labeling method of the mixed labeling machine comprises the following steps:
[0058] S1: Place the product to be labeled 100 on the product conveying device 1, and the product conveying device 1 forwards the product to be labeled 100, and when the product sensor 2 senses the product to be labeled 100, the product conveying device 1 pauses conveying;
