The scanning and marking structure 200 is further configured to generate a first result and transmit it to the controller if it detects that the outer box label information and the inner unit label information in the first information are inconsistent. The controller is configured to control the scanning and pushing mechanism 300 to push the labeled outer box into the rejection line 330 based on the first result.

[0051] In this embodiment, the air conditioner outer case labeling device primarily utilizes a conveyor structure 100, a scanning and marking structure 200, a scanning and pushing mechanism 300, and a controller to achieve labeling and label consistency detection on the air conditioner outer case.

[0054] In this embodiment, the scanning and marking structure 200 includes a scanning and blocking assembly 210, which includes a first blocker 211 and a first scanning group 212. The first blocker 211 and the first scanning group 212 are sequentially arranged on the conveyor structure 100 from left to right. The first blocker 211 is movable up and down on the conveyor structure 100 to intercept or release outer boxes to be labeled. The first scanning group 212 is fixed to the conveyor structure 100 to scan the inner machine label of the outer boxes to be labeled. Furthermore, the first blocker 211 includes a sensor for sensing the position of the outer boxes to be labeled; the present invention does not specifically limit the type of sensor. In addition, the first scanning group 212 includes a first scanner 2121 and a first mounting bracket 2122. The first mounting bracket 2122 is fixedly arranged on the conveying structure 100, and the first scanner 2121 is installed on the upper crossbeam of the first mounting bracket 2122, so that the inner unit label on the air-conditioning inner unit in the outer box to be labeled is scanned by the first scanner 2121, thereby obtaining the inner unit label information in the outer box to be labeled.

[0055] In specific implementation, when the outer box to be labeled and the air-conditioning indoor unit in the outer box to be labeled flow along the conveying structure 100 to the labeling station, when the sensor on the first blocker 211 detects that the outer box to be labeled moves to the first position, the controller controls the first blocker 211 to rise from the bottom of the conveying structure 100, thereby intercepting the outer box to be labeled; and, when the outer box to be labeled reaches the scanning range of the first scanner 2121, the first scanner 2121 scans the indoor unit label in the outer box to be labeled. If the scan fails, the machine stops and an alarm is sounded; if the scan is successful, the second information is generated; at the same time, the controller controls the first blocker 211 to release the outer box to be labeled.

[0058] In specific implementation, after completing the scanning of the air-conditioning indoor unit label in the outer box to be labeled, when the sensor on the second blocker 221 detects that the outer box to be labeled moves to the second position, the controller controls the second blocker 221 to rise from the bottom of the conveying structure 100, thereby intercepting the outer box to be labeled so that the labeling machine 223 can label the outer box to be labeled; at the same time, the labeling machine 223 is controlled to print the label according to the second information received. If the printing fails, the machine stops and alarms. If the printing is successful, the labeling machine 223 is controlled to paste the first label in the outer box label on the front side of the outer box to be labeled; when the outer box to be labeled reaches the position of the second blocker 221, the label printing is controlled to paste the second label in the outer box label on the right side of the outer box to be labeled, thereby completing the labeling process of the outer box to be labeled; at this time, if the second blocker 221 receives the labeling completion instruction sent by the controller, it releases the labeled outer box according to the labeling completion instruction.

The third scanner and the fourth scanner are both located below the second scanner, and the third scanner and the fourth scanner are sequentially arranged from left to right on the lower left side of the conveying structure 100 to scan the outer box labels on the front side and right side of the labeled outer box.

[0061] During specific implementation, after completing the labeling operation of the outer box to be labeled, the labeled outer box continues to move toward the scanning pusher structure 300, and the label-smoothing mechanism 311 in the scanning pusher structure 300 can rotate to smooth the first label and the second label on the labeled outer box; at the same time, if the third blocker 312 detects that the labeled outer box has moved to the third position, the controller controls the third blocker 312 to intercept the labeled outer box; the second scanner on the second scanning group 313 scans the inner machine label on the labeled outer box, the third scanner scans the outer box label on the right side of the labeled outer box, and the fourth scanner scans the outer box label on the front side of the labeled outer box, thereby obtaining the first information, and sending the first information to the labeling machine 223 for detection to confirm whether the scanned information is consistent.
