Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of logistics automation equipment, and in particular to an intelligent labeling machine for warehouse delivery, which can automatically adapt to packages of different sizes and shapes to achieve efficient and accurate labeling and automatic sorting. Background Art

[0002] The labeling machines currently on the market are usually only suitable for parcels of fixed sizes. If the height or width of the parcel is different, the operator needs to manually adjust the height and left and right position of the labeling machine, which increases the complexity and time cost of the operation. In addition, when the existing labeling machines are working, they usually need to manually scan the barcodes on the parcels one by one and accurately place the parcels in a fixed position on the conveyor to ensure the accuracy of labeling. This not only reduces the efficiency of labeling, but also increases the need for manual intervention. At the same time, most of the existing equipment can only label parcels with flat surfaces. When the surface of the parcel is uneven, labeling may fail, affecting the accuracy and stability of logistics operations.

[0003] Therefore, the market urgently needs an intelligent labeling device that can automatically identify the size, angle and position of the package and adapt to uneven surfaces for efficient labeling. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent labeling machine that can automatically identify the package size, position and angle, adjust the labeling position in real time, achieve efficient and accurate labeling, and at the same time be able to adapt to irregular surfaces, and combine visual recognition and automatic sorting systems to improve overall operating efficiency and reduce manual intervention.

[0005] The intelligent labeling machine of the present invention includes the following components and technical solutions:

[0006] Automatically adapt to package size:

[0007] The X-axis (214) and Z-axis (225, 226) servo-controlled linear modules can be precisely adjusted according to the height and left-right position of the package, thereby achieving fully automatic labeling without manual adjustment.

[0008] The height and position of the package are detected by measuring light curtains (308, 309) and distance sensors (117, 318, 319), wherein the distance sensors (318, 319) are mainly used to detect the left and right positions of the package on the conveying device (300) and transmit the data to the control system (302). Combined with the measurement results of the second visual sensor (311), the accuracy of package position detection is optimized, and the accuracy of labeling and sorting is improved.

[0009] The rotating mechanism (208, 209) enables the labeling mechanism to perform labeling at multiple angles, thus adapting to packages placed in different directions.

[0010] Intelligent visual recognition and automatic code scanning:

[0011] The barcode scanning device includes a first barcode scanner (310) disposed on the conveying device (300), and a second barcode scanner (103) disposed on the mounting plate (100) and capable of moving up and down with the Z axis (225, 226), for scanning a barcode or a two-dimensional code on a package, and sending the scanning result to a control system (302) or an external information management system. The external information management system may be, but is not limited to, a warehouse management system (WMS), an enterprise resource planning system (ERP), an order management system (OMS), or other logistics information processing systems. The control system (302) or the external information management system generates a printing instruction based on the received scanning information, and sends it to the printing component (111), and the printing component (111) prints the corresponding label.

[0012] Second barcode scanner (103): When the first barcode scanner fails to scan, the second barcode scanner can automatically supplement the scan to ensure the recognition success rate and improve the labeling accuracy.

[0013] The first visual sensor (106) is used to detect the content of the attached label and compare it with the preset data to ensure the correctness of the label.

[0014] The first visual sensor (106) is further used to detect the labeled express delivery order and automatically identify the express delivery company to which it belongs, so that the control system (302) can adjust the sorting machine (400) to send the package to the corresponding chute (401, 402, 403) for classification and sorting. If labeling abnormality or labeling omission is detected, the control system (302) will sort the package separately to the abnormal processing area for manual review or re-labeling to prevent abnormal packages from affecting logistics operations.

[0015] The first visual sensor (106) is further used to scan the barcode on the labeled package and transmit the scanned information to the warehouse management system, logistics management system or other information management system to complete the system outbound delivery and ensure the real-time synchronization of logistics data.

[0016] The second visual sensor (311): is used to detect the angle, left and right position and height of the package, and provide data support so that the labeling machine can be adjusted accurately.

[0017] Adapt to labeling on uneven surfaces:

[0018] Conventional labeling machines are usually only suitable for flat surfaces. The pressing mechanism (116) of the present invention is combined with a real-time distance measuring sensor (117), so that the labeling mechanism can adjust the pressing angle in real time, thereby ensuring the labeling quality even if the package surface is uneven.

[0019] The pressing mechanism motor (115) controls the angle and pressure of the pressing mechanism, and makes real-time fine adjustments during the labeling process to prevent the label from warping or being loosely pasted due to an uneven surface.

[0020] Automatic sorting system to improve logistics efficiency:

[0021] After labeling is completed, the first visual sensor (106) detects the label content, and the system determines the sorting path for the package after comparison.

[0022] The swing wheel sorting machine (400) automatically adjusts its angle under the command of the control system so that the parcels enter the corresponding chutes (401, 402, 403), thereby achieving automatic sorting without manual intervention and improving operation efficiency.

[0023] Conveyor Pause Logic:

[0024] The conveying device is divided into two sections. If the measuring light curtain (308, 309) and the second visual sensor (311) detect that the height or position of the next package is too different from that of the previous package, the first section of the conveying device will be suspended to avoid labeling errors.

[0025] The first section of the conveyor is paused until the labeling of the current package is completed and the labeler is adjusted to the height and position of the next package, and then the conveyor resumes operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] When the labeling machine is started, it automatically calibrates and returns to zero, and resets each moving mechanism (X axis 214, Z axis 225, 226, rotating mechanism 208, 209) to the initial position, and at the same time, the conveying device (300) and the balance wheel sorting machine (400) start to operate.

[0043] When the package enters the first section of the conveying device, the first photoelectric sensor (312, 313) detects the arrival of the package, triggering the height detection device (such as the measuring light curtain 308, 309 or other distance measuring equipment) and the second visual sensor (311) to collect data.

[0044] The measuring light curtains (308, 309) are main height detection devices of the present invention, and are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the conveying device (300) and arranged opposite to each other. When a package passes through the measuring light curtains, the measuring light curtains can accurately measure the real-time height of the package and transmit the measured data to the control system (302), so that the control system can accurately adjust the lifting position of the mounting plate (100) and the labeling position of the labeling mechanism (116);

[0045] The second visual sensor (311) is installed above the conveying device (300) and is mainly used to detect the angle and left and right position of the package, and also has the function of assisting height measurement. When the measurement light curtains (308, 309) fail to measure or the detection accuracy is insufficient, the height data detected by the second visual sensor (311) can be used as supplementary data to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the height measurement, and further ensure the accuracy of the labeling position adjustment;

[0046] The second visual sensor (311) measures the angle, left-right position and height of the package, while the second distance measuring sensor (318) and the third distance measuring sensor (319) provide auxiliary measurement of the left-right position to ensure accurate positioning of the package on the conveying device (300).

[0047] The first barcode scanner (310) scans the barcode on the package and sends the scan result to the control system (302) or the external information management system. The control system (302) or the external information management system generates a printing instruction based on the received scan information and sends it to the printing component (111). The printing component (111) prints the corresponding label.

[0048] If the first scanner fails to scan, the second scanner (103) is automatically enabled to perform a supplementary scan.

[0049] The label anti-sticking plate (114) located below the label paper outlet of the printing component (111) receives the printed label.

[0050] The control system (302) calculates the optimal labeling position of the labeling machine and adjusts the X-axis (214), the Z-axis (225, 226) and the rotating mechanism (208, 209) so that the labeling mechanism (116) is aligned with the designated labeling area of ​​the package.

[0051] The pressing mechanism (116) is activated and adjusts the pressing angle according to the real-time feedback from the first distance measuring sensor (117), so as to ensure that the label can be firmly attached and achieve accurate labeling even on an uneven surface.

[0052] When the parcel arrives at the swing wheel sorter (400), the control system (302) adjusts the rotation angle of the sorter (404) according to the labeling result, so that the parcel enters the correct chute (401, 402, 403), completing the entire automatic labeling and sorting process.

[0053] In addition, the sorting machines (400) and their corresponding chutes (401, 402, 403) in the present invention are only used as examples. In actual applications, the number of sorting machines can be increased or decreased according to logistics needs, and the number of chutes can be adjusted accordingly. The corresponding relationship between the sorting machines and the chutes can also be flexibly configured. Therefore, the present invention does not limit the number of specific sorting machines.

[0054] The linear module described in the present invention may include, but is not limited to, one or more combinations of screw-type linear modules, synchronous belt-type linear modules, gear rack-type linear modules, linear motor modules, electromagnetic drive modules, pneumatic modules or hydraulic modules. The present invention is not limited to a specific type of linear module.

[0055] The sorting machine (400) described in the present invention can select a variety of structural forms according to different actual working conditions, such as a pendulum type, a push rod type, a pneumatic lever type, a slider type, a cross belt type, a flap type or a turntable type sorting machine, etc., to adapt to different logistics site requirements. The present invention does not impose any limitation on the structural form.

[0056] The conveying device (300) can adopt various conveying modes such as belt conveying, roller conveying, cross belt conveying, chain plate conveying, pallet conveying, air cushion conveying, etc., and can be adjusted according to the package size, weight, shape and conveying requirements.

[0057] The conveying device (300) works in conjunction with the measuring light curtain (308, 309) and the second visual sensor (311) to dynamically adjust the conveying speed and direction so that the package is in the optimal conveying position during the labeling and sorting process. The conveying device can be further combined with the control system (302) to flexibly adjust the conveying path according to different logistics requirements to achieve accurate conveying, labeling and sorting operations.

[0058] In addition, the conveying device (300) may include an adjustment mechanism, such as a motor-driven variable speed conveyor belt, a tilt-adjustable conveying track, or a roller conveyor line with a retractable function, so as to adapt to packages of different specifications and improve the applicability of labeling and sorting.

[0059] The rotating mechanism (208, 209) of the present invention can adopt a slewing bearing, a servo motor drive, a pneumatic swing cylinder, a gear rack drive, an electromagnetic clutch, a worm gear mechanism, a swing slide rail or other mechanical, pneumatic or electromagnetic methods that can drive the mounting plate (100) to rotate, so as to adapt to different package placement directions.

[0060] The intelligent labeling and sorting device of the present invention can be adapted to a variety of information management systems, including but not limited to a warehouse management system (WMS), an enterprise resource planning system (ERP), an order management system (OMS) or other logistics information processing systems. After the barcode scanning device scans the barcode or QR code on the package, the control system (302) can directly process the data, or analyze the scanned data through an external information management system to determine the corresponding logistics information, and send instructions to the printing component (111) according to the analysis result to print the corresponding label.

[0061] Through this structure, the present invention can adapt to the warehousing and logistics management needs of different enterprises. It is not only suitable for e-commerce warehousing, express sorting, and intelligent logistics distribution centers, but can also be applied to product identification and tracking in manufacturing production lines, thereby improving the accuracy of information flow and the automation level of logistics operations.

[0062] The orientation or connection relationship diagrams involved in the present invention are only for illustration purposes and do not limit the specific positions and connection relationships of components in actual use.
