[0002] Labeling equipment is to attach various labels to products, such as codes, QR codes, product information and other labels. Labeling products can mark the products, thereby achieving traceability of product production. With the development of industrialization, the traditional manual labeling method has gradually been replaced by machines, and various labeling equipment has also emerged. Labeling machines have become an indispensable part of modern packaging.

[0003] At present, labeling machines basically use an adsorption head to absorb labels, and use a cylinder to push the adsorption head downward to press the label onto the surface of the product. The adsorption head uses a vacuum sponge suction cup. When the sponge layer of the vacuum sponge suction cup is thin, the label cannot be completely fitted to the product with an uneven surface during labeling, resulting in an unreliable label adhesion. When the sponge layer of the vacuum sponge suction cup is thick, the sponge layer is prone to collapse under repeated vacuum negative pressure and extrusion, affecting the use effect. At the same time, the adsorption head is usually connected with bolts, which makes the installation and disassembly of the adsorption head very troublesome and inconvenient. Summary of the invention

[0030] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the present invention are:

[0031] 1. By embedding multiple lightweight springs inside the thickened sponge absorption layer, when the labeling mechanism absorbs the label to squeeze the product for labeling, the thickened sponge absorption layer can fully fit the label with the product with uneven surface due to its own soft characteristics. Multiple lightweight springs and the thickened sponge absorption layer cooperate to play a buffering effect, buffering the pressure of the labeling mechanism on the product during labeling.

[0033] 3. By providing a hot air blower and an air supply pipe, when the labeling adsorption component drives the label to collide with the product, the hot air blower works to input hot air into the ventilation seat through the air supply pipe, and finally the hot air is discharged from the bottom of the labeling adsorption component, so that the label is separated from the labeling adsorption component. At the same time, the hot air generates wind pressure on the label, squeezes the label, so that the label effectively contacts the surface of the product, and the hot air heats the label, which is further conducive to the effective bonding of the label to the product, and improves the reliability of the label bonding on the product;

[0034] 4. By setting up a detection and pushing mechanism and a defective product conveyor belt, the CCD detection camera takes photos of the products on the feeding conveyor belt after labeling, and transmits the photos to the PLC controller. The PLC controller compares the photos with the correct standard label pictures stored internally to determine whether the label is qualified. If it is qualified, the second electric push rod does not work. If it is unqualified, the second electric push rod works to push the push plate, so that the push plate moves to push the unqualified labeled products and push them to the defective product conveyor belt;

[0035] 5. A driving assembly for driving the labeling adsorption assembly to rotate is arranged on the vent seat. The motor on the driving assembly drives the driving gear to rotate. The driving gear rotates and engages with the driven gear to drive the internal threaded cylinder to rotate.

[0066] The lifting assembly 41 includes a moving seat 411, which is connected to the X-axis moving assembly 42. A first electric push rod 412 is installed on the top of the moving seat 411. The output end of the first electric push rod 412 passes through the top wall of the moving seat 411 and is connected to the top of the mounting frame 311.

[0068] The output end of the hot air blower 35 is connected to an air supply pipe 351, and one end of the air supply pipe 351 away from the hot air blower 35 is connected to the ventilation seat 32;

[0070] The vacuum pump 34 extracts the air in the ventilation seat 32 through the suction pipe 341, so that the ventilation seat 32 is in a negative pressure state, so that the bottom of the labeling adsorption component 33 is in a negative pressure state, which is convenient for adsorbing the label. The hot air blower 35 inputs hot air into the ventilation seat 32 through the air supply pipe 351, and the hot air is discharged from the bottom of the labeling adsorption component 33, so that the label is separated from the labeling adsorption component 33. At the same time, the hot air heats the label, so that the label is effectively bonded to the product, and when the hot air is sprayed out, it generates pressure on the label, which is further conducive to the bonding of the label to the product.

[0071] A PLC controller 14 is installed on the frame 11. The output end of the CCD positioning camera 37 is electrically connected to the input end of the PLC controller 14. The output end of the PLC controller 14 is electrically connected to the output ends of the vacuum pump 34, the hot air blower 35 and the motor 361 respectively. The output end of the PLC controller 14 is electrically connected to the first electric push rod 412, the X-axis moving assembly 42 and the Y-axis moving assembly 43 respectively. The PLC controller 14 is electrically connected to the PC processing end.

[0072] The detection and pushing mechanism 50 includes a first bracket 51, which is fixed to the rear side of the frame 11, a second electric push rod 52 is installed on the rear side of the first bracket 51, the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 52 slides through the first bracket 51 and is connected to a push plate 53, a second bracket 54 is fixed to the top of the first bracket 51, a CCD detection camera 55 is connected to the bottom of the top wall of the second bracket 54, the CCD detection camera 55 is located just above the feeding conveyor belt 12, and the output end of the CCD detection camera 55 is electrically connected to the input end of the PLC controller 14;

[0073] The CCD detection camera 55 takes photos of the labeled products on the feeding conveyor belt 12 for detection, and transmits the photos to the PLC controller 14. The PLC controller 14 compares the taken photos with the correct standard label images stored internally to determine whether the labels are qualified. If they are qualified, the second electric push rod 52 does not work. If they are unqualified, the second electric push rod 52 works to push the push plate 53, so that the push plate 53 moves to push the unqualified labeled products and push them onto the defective product conveyor belt 13.

[0074] The defective product conveyor belt 13 is vertically arranged with respect to the feeding conveyor belt 12 , and the detection and pushing mechanism 50 corresponds to the defective product conveyor belt 13 . When unqualified labeling products appear, the detection and pushing mechanism 50 pushes the unqualified products onto the defective product conveyor belt 13 .

[0075] In the present invention, the label supply mechanism 20, the X-axis moving assembly 42 and the Y-axis moving assembly 43 are all public technologies and are not described in detail herein. The products to be labeled are sequentially placed on the left end of the feeding conveyor belt 12, the feeding conveyor belt 12 transports the products to be labeled to the right, and the label supply mechanism 20 starts to supply labels;

[0076] The PLC controller 14 controls the spatial displacement mechanism 40 to work through a set program, moves the labeling mechanism 30 to the top of the label, and the CCD positioning camera 37 on the labeling mechanism 30 takes a picture of the label, and then sends it to the PLC controller 14 for processing. The PLC controller 14 calculates the position information of the label, thereby controlling the spatial displacement mechanism 40 and the labeling mechanism 30, so that the spatial displacement mechanism 40 drives the labeling mechanism 30 to move, so that the thickened sponge adsorption layer 333 at the bottom of the labeling mechanism 30 contacts the label, and the vacuum pump 34 on the labeling mechanism 30 works to extract the air in the ventilation seat 32 through the suction pipe 341, so that the ventilation seat 32 is in a negative pressure state, so that the bottom of the labeling adsorption component 33 is in a negative pressure state, thereby adsorbing the label;

[0077] Then, under the action of the spatial displacement mechanism 40, it moves to the top of the feeding conveyor belt 12, and then the CCD positioning camera 37 works to take pictures of the products on the feeding conveyor belt 12, and then sends them to the PLC controller 14 for processing. The PLC controller 14 calculates the position information of the products, and at the same time, the feeding conveyor belt 12 stops working. The spatial displacement mechanism 40 cooperates with the labeling adsorption component 33 so that the labeling adsorption component 33 adheres the bottom label to the product;

[0078] When the bottom of the labeling adsorption component 33 drives the label to contact the product, the hot air blower 35 works to input hot air into the ventilation seat 32 through the air supply pipe 351, and finally the hot air is discharged from the bottom of the labeling adsorption component 33, so that the label is separated from the labeling adsorption component 33. At the same time, the hot air generates wind pressure on the label, squeezing the label so that the label is effectively in contact with the surface of the product, and the hot air heats the label, which is further conducive to the effective adhesion of the label to the product, and improves the reliability of the adhesion of the label to the product.

[0079] Then the labeling mechanism 30 and the spatial displacement mechanism 40 repeat the above work, adsorbing the label supplied by the label supply mechanism 20 and sticking it to the product on the feeding conveyor belt 12;

[0080] The feeding conveyor belt 12 drives the labeled products to continue to move to the right. When the labeled products pass through the detection and pushing mechanism 50, the CCD detection camera 55 on the detection and pushing mechanism 50 takes photos of the labeled products on the feeding conveyor belt 12 and transmits the photos to the PLC controller 14. The PLC controller 14 compares the photos with the correct standard label images stored internally to determine whether the labels are qualified. If they are qualified, the second electric push rod 52 does not work. If they are unqualified, the second electric push rod 52 works to push the push plate 53, so that the push plate 53 moves to push the unqualified labeled products and push them onto the defective product conveyor belt 13.

[0081] The thickened sponge absorption layer 333 at the bottom of the labeling mechanism 30 is inlaid with multiple lightweight springs 336. When the labeling mechanism 30 absorbs the label to squeeze the product to label, the thickened sponge absorption layer 333 can fully fit the label and the product with uneven surface due to its own soft characteristics. The multiple lightweight springs 336 and the thickened sponge absorption layer 333 cooperate to have a buffering effect, which can buffer the pressure of the labeling mechanism 30 on the product when labeling. At the same time, the support of the thickened sponge absorption layer 333 by the multiple lightweight springs 336 allows the thickened sponge absorption layer 333 to rebound quickly, avoid the collapse of the thickened sponge absorption layer 333, and increase its service life.

Under the elastic force of the micro springs 382, ​​the upper and lower ends of the seal 38 can effectively contact the inner wall at the top of the internally threaded tube 323 and the top wall of the connecting tube 331, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the connecting tube 331 and the internally threaded tube 323.

[0087] In the present invention, the connecting pipe 331 on the labeling adsorption component 33 is threadedly connected with the internal threaded tube 323 at the bottom of the vent seat 32, so that the labeling adsorption component 33 is easy to install and easy to quickly disassemble and assemble the labeling adsorption component 33, thereby facilitating the rapid replacement of the labeling adsorption component 33, and a sealing member 38 is provided between the top of the connecting pipe 331 and the inner wall of the top of the internal threaded tube 323, and a plurality of micro springs 382 are nested in the sealing member 38 at equal intervals. Under the elastic force of the micro springs 382, ​​the upper and lower ends of the sealing member 38 can effectively engage with the internal threaded tube 323 to form a seal. The inner wall at the top of the threaded cylinder 323 contacts the top wall of the connecting tube 331, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the connecting tube 331 and the internally threaded cylinder 323 to avoid air leakage. The motor 361 drives the driving gear 362 to rotate, and the driving gear 362 rotates and engages with the driven gear 324 to drive the internally threaded cylinder 323 to rotate. The rotation of the internally threaded cylinder 323 drives the labeling adsorption component 33 connected to the bottom of the driver to rotate, which can adjust the horizontal angle of the labeling adsorption component 33 and cooperate with the spatial displacement mechanism 40 to make the labeling position more accurate and improve the labeling effect.
