[0134] The fourth X-axis moving mechanism 44 is disposed on the third transfer base and is used to drive the second transfer mechanism 42 to move in the X direction. It includes a sixth guide component and a seventh moving power component. The second transfer mechanism 42 is movably disposed on the sixth guide component through the seventh moving power component, and the guiding direction of the sixth guide component is parallel to the guiding direction of the fifth guide component.

[0135] The third Y-axis moving mechanism 45 is used to drive the third transfer base to move along the Y-axis. It includes a seventh guide component and an eighth moving power component. The third transfer base is movably mounted on the seventh guide component through the eighth moving power component, and the guiding direction of the seventh guide component is perpendicular to the guiding direction of the sixth guide component.

[0136] Specifically, based on the third Y-axis moving mechanism 45, the first transfer mechanism 41 and the second transfer mechanism 42 are driven away from or closer to the embedded labeling device 3 to realize the transfer of the label to be embedded and the embedded labeling plastic part.

[0137] Preferably, the fifth guide component includes several sets of fourth guide rails arranged along the X direction on the third transfer base, the first transfer base is movably arranged on the fourth guide rails, and the sixth moving power component is drivenly connected to the first transfer base;

[0138] The sixth guide component includes several sets of fifth guide rails arranged along the X direction on the third transfer base, the second transfer base is movably arranged on the fifth guide rails, and the seventh moving power component is connected to the second transfer base in a transmission connection.

[0139] Specifically, the sixth moving power component is preferably, but not limited to, a component driven by a cylinder, motor, etc.; the sixth moving power component operates to drive the first transfer mechanism 41 to move closer to or away from the target picking mechanism 22 along the X direction; the seventh moving power component operates to drive the second transfer mechanism 42 to move closer to or away from the target picking mechanism 11 along the X direction.

[0140] In this embodiment, when the side-loading and transfer device 4 transfers the label to be embedded and the embedded label plastic part, the following steps are included:

[0141] Step 2-1, the third Y-axis moving mechanism 45 drives the third transfer base to move along the Y-axis so that the first transfer mechanism 41 approaches the tag-picking mechanism 22 that has picked up the tag;

[0142] Step 2-2: The third X-direction moving mechanism 43 drives the first transfer mechanism 41 to approach the label picking mechanism along the X direction. The electrostatic needle conducts static electricity so that the label is adsorbed onto the label head, thereby realizing the electrostatic adsorption of the label.

[0143] Steps 2-3: After the label is picked up, the third X-axis moving mechanism 43 drives the first transfer mechanism 41 away from the label picking mechanism 22 along the X-axis, while the third Y-axis moving mechanism 45 drives the third transfer base to move in the opposite direction along the Y-axis, so that the first transfer mechanism 41 moves closer to the embedded labeling device 3.

[0144] Steps 2-4: When the first transfer mechanism 41 reaches the embedded labeling device 3, the electrostatic needle stops conducting static electricity, the label is placed in the embedded labeling device 3, and at the same time, the second transfer mechanism 42 picks up the embedded labeling part that has been injected, and the third Y-axis moving mechanism 45 drives the second transfer mechanism 42 away from the embedded labeling device 3.

[0145] Steps 2-5: The embedded labeling device 3 performs injection molding to obtain embedded labeling plastic parts.

[0146] Steps 2-6: The third Y-axis moving mechanism 45 drives the second transfer mechanism 42 to move closer to the picking mechanism 11 along the Y-axis;

[0147] Steps 2-7: The fourth X-direction moving mechanism 44 drives the second transfer mechanism 42 to approach the picking mechanism 11 along the X direction, in order to wait for the picking mechanism 11 to pick up the material.
