Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glue sticking machines, and in particular to a labeling device and a labeling method. Background Art

[0002] After the packaging box is cut, a label (such as product address, manufacturer information, etc.) needs to be affixed to its surface, and then the packaging box is folded. Due to the diversity of packaging box types and the need for labels to be affixed to different surfaces of the packaging box, the traditional process usually adopts manual labeling. The assembly line delivers the packaging box that needs to be labeled to the worker, who takes the label and affixes it to the corresponding surface of the packaging box. After the worker affixes the label, the label is put back to the assembly line; however, the manual labeling method not only has the problems of low efficiency and high cost, but also cannot guarantee the quality of labeling.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of automation technology, more and more manufacturers use labeling machines to complete the labeling of packaging boxes. The labeling machine includes a labeling robot and a label supply mechanism. The labeling robot can take a label from the label supply mechanism and paste it on the surface of the packaging box. However, the labeling machine in the prior art can only paste the label on one surface of the packaging box. When the label needs to be pasted on different surfaces of the packaging box, the position of the packaging box needs to be manually adjusted.

In the present invention, the material picking robot 6 can adjust the direction of the box 100 to be labeled so that the labeling robot 5 can attach the label to different surfaces of the box 100 to be labeled; the labeling equipment can identify different boxes 200 to be loaded, and print corresponding labels according to different boxes 200 to be loaded, and attach the labels to the box 100 to be labeled, thereby improving the applicability and versatility of the labeling equipment; the labeling equipment can stack the box 100 to be labeled on the box 200 to be loaded, so as to facilitate subsequent staff, robots, etc. to install the box 200 to be loaded in the box 100 to be labeled; the labeling equipment has a high degree of automation and high efficiency.

[0026] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the labeling device further includes a first adjustment mechanism 8; the first adjustment mechanism 8 includes a lifting drive member 81, a third rotating drive member 82, and a first box suction member 83 mounted on the third rotating drive member 82, and the third rotating drive member 82 is mounted on the lifting drive member 81; the first adjustment mechanism 8 is used to adjust the direction of the box 100 to be labeled on the first conveying mechanism 1. It can be understood that the first adjustment mechanism 8 is located above the first conveying mechanism 1; the lifting drive member 81 includes but is not limited to a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a linear motor, etc.; the third rotating drive member 82 includes but is not limited to a rotary cylinder, a rotary motor, etc.; the first box suction member 83 is provided with a suction through hole for sucking the box 100 to be labeled.

[0027] Specifically, the lifting drive member 81 drives the third rotating drive member 82 and the first box suction member 83 to descend, the first box suction member 83 absorbs the box 100 to be labeled from the inner wall, the third rotating drive member 82 drives the first box suction member 83 to rotate, the first box suction member 83 drives the box 100 to be labeled to rotate by a first preset angle (such as 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, etc.) and then placed on the first conveying mechanism 1, the first conveying mechanism 1 then conveys the box 100 to be labeled to the bottom of the material picking manipulator 6, and the material picking manipulator 6 then removes the box 100 to be labeled from the first conveying mechanism 1. In this embodiment, the first adjustment mechanism 8 can adjust the direction of the box 100 to be labeled on the first conveying mechanism 1, so as to facilitate the material picking manipulator 6 to remove the box 100 to be labeled from the first conveying mechanism 1.

[0028] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the labeling device further includes a second adjustment mechanism 9; the second adjustment mechanism 9 includes an adjustment moving drive member, a fourth rotating drive member and a second box suction member installed on the fourth rotating drive member, and the fourth rotating drive member is installed on the adjustment moving drive member; the second adjustment mechanism 9 is used to suck the box 100 to be labeled on the material picking assembly 63 and adjust the direction, and then place it above the box 200 to be loaded located on the second conveying mechanism 2. It can be understood that the second adjustment mechanism 9 is installed on the side of the second conveying mechanism 2; the adjustment moving drive member includes but is not limited to a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and the fourth rotating drive member includes but is not limited to a rotating cylinder, a rotating motor, etc.; the second box suction member is provided with an adsorption through hole for adsorbing the box 100 to be labeled.

[0029] Specifically, the material transfer robot 6 transfers the box 100 to be labeled after labeling to the side of the second adjustment mechanism 9, and the adjustment movement drive drives the fourth rotation drive and the second box suction member to move toward the box 100 to be labeled. After the second box suction member absorbs the box 100 to be labeled, the material transfer robot 6 releases the box 100 to be labeled; the fourth rotation drive drives the box 100 to be labeled to rotate to a second preset angle (such as 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees, etc.) through the second box suction member and is placed above the box 200 to be loaded, and the second conveying mechanism 2 then conveys the stacked box 200 and the box 100 to be labeled to the third conveying mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the second adjustment mechanism 9 can adjust the direction of the box 100 to be labeled so that the opening of the box 100 to be labeled of the labeling box is facing the staff or the robot, so that the staff or the robot can place the box 200 to be loaded in the box 100 to be labeled.

[0030] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the labeling device further includes a positioning assembly 11 and a positioning plate 12 installed on opposite sides of the first conveying mechanism 1, and the positioning assembly 11 includes a positioning drive 111 and a push plate 112 installed on the positioning drive 111; the positioning drive 111 is used to drive the push plate 112 to drive the to-be-labeled box 100 on the first conveying mechanism 1 to move until it abuts against the positioning plate 12. It can be understood that the positioning assembly 11 and the positioning plate 12 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the first conveying mechanism 1; the positioning drive 111 includes but is not limited to a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a linear motor, etc.; the positioning plate 12 and the push plate 112 both extend toward the first direction.

[0031] Specifically, the positioning drive 111 drives the push plate 112 to move toward the positioning plate 12 until the push plate 112 pushes the box 100 to be labeled on the first conveying mechanism 1 to abut against the positioning plate 12, thereby completing the positioning of the box 100 to be labeled on the first conveying mechanism 1, making it convenient for the material picking robot 6 to remove the box 100 to be labeled from the first conveying mechanism 1.

[0032] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the material picking assembly 63 includes a support rod 631, a guide rail 632, a first slider 633, a second slider 634, a first clamp arm 635, a second clamp arm 636 and a material picking drive assembly 637; the support rod 631 is installed on the first rotating drive member 62, and the guide rail 632 is installed on the support rod 631; it can be understood that the support rod 631 is perpendicular to the guide rail 632.

[0033] The first clamp arm 635 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 632 through the first slider 633, and the second clamp arm 636 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 632 through the second slider 634; the material-retrieving driving assembly 637 is mounted on the guide rail 632 and connects the first clamp arm 635 and the second clamp arm 636, and is used to drive the first clamp arm 635 and the second clamp arm 636 to clamp or release the box 100 to be labeled from the inside. It can be understood that the material-retrieving driving assembly 637 includes but is not limited to a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, and a screw nut assembly, etc. The material-retrieving driving assembly 637 can drive the first clamp arm 635 and the second clamp arm 636 to move closer to or away from each other, so that the first clamp arm 635 and the second clamp arm 636 clamp or release the box 100 to be labeled.

[0034] Specifically, after the first clamp arm 635 and the second clamp arm 636 extend into the interior of the box 100 to be labeled, the material picking drive assembly 637 drives the first clamp arm 635 and the second clamp arm 636 to move away from each other until the first clamp arm 635 and the second clamp arm 636 clamp the box 100 to be labeled from the inside. Since the labeling robot 5 posts the label on the outer wall of the box 100 to be labeled, the material picking assembly 63 will not prevent the labeling robot 5 from posting the label on the outer wall of the box 100 to be labeled, thereby ensuring the stability of labeling.

[0035] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the material picking assembly 63 further includes a baffle 638 mounted on the support rod 631, and the baffle 638 is used to support the box cover of the to-be-labeled box 100. It can be understood that the baffle 638 can play a role of supporting the box cover from the inside, so as to prevent the box cover from covering the to-be-labeled box 100 when the material picking robot 6 drives the to-be-labeled box 100 to rotate.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the material taking drive assembly 637 includes a first motor, a first screw rod, a first nut, a second motor, a second screw rod and a second nut; the first screw rod and the second screw rod are both rotatably mounted on the guide rail 632, the first nut is mounted on the first slider 633 or the first clamp arm 635 and is threadedly connected to the first screw rod, the second nut is mounted on the second slider 634 or the second clamp arm 636 and is threadedly connected to the second screw rod, the first motor is mounted on the guide rail 632 and connected to the first screw rod, and the second motor is mounted on the guide rail 632 and connected to the second screw rod. Specifically, the first motor drives the first screw rod to rotate, and the first screw rod drives the first clamp arm 635 to move through the first nut; the second motor drives the second screw rod to rotate, and the second screw rod drives the second clamp arm 636 to move through the second nut; so that the first clamp arm 635 and the second clamp arm 636 can move closer to or farther from each other.

[0037] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the labeling machine includes a base plate 71, a label moving drive 72, a support table 73 with adsorption holes 731, and a printer 74 installed on the base plate 71; the printer 74 is used to print out corresponding labels according to the box 200 to be loaded identified by the identification mechanism 4; it can be understood that the printer 74 can print out different labels according to different boxes 200 to be loaded.

[0038] The label moving drive member 72 is installed on the bottom plate 71 and connected to the support platform 73, and the support platform 73 is used to remove the label on the printer 74 through the adsorption hole 731. It can be understood that the label moving drive member 72 includes but is not limited to a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, and a screw nut assembly. Specifically, the label moving drive member 72 drives the support platform 73 to move toward the printer 74, so that the printer 74 can adsorb the label printed by the printer 74, and the label moving drive member 72 then drives the support platform 73 away from the printer 74, and the labeling robot 5 can remove the label from the support platform 73. In this embodiment, the printer 74 can print different labels according to different boxes 200 to be loaded, thereby improving the applicability and versatility of the labeling equipment.

[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the labeling device further includes a guide seat 21 installed on the second conveying mechanism 2, and a guide slope is provided on the guide seat 21, and the guide slope is used to guide the boxes 200 to be loaded and the boxes 100 to be labeled on the second conveying mechanism 2 to the third conveying mechanism 3. It can be understood that the second conveying mechanism 2 is located above the third conveying mechanism 3, and the second conveying mechanism 2 conveys the stacked boxes 200 to be loaded and the boxes 100 to be labeled to the guide seat 21, and the guide seat 21 guides the stacked boxes 200 to be loaded and the boxes 100 to be labeled to the third conveying mechanism 3 through the guide slope. In this embodiment, the design of the guide seat 21 facilitates the second conveying mechanism 2 to convey the stacked boxes 200 to be loaded and the boxes 100 to be labeled to the third conveying mechanism 3.

[0040] Furthermore, when the stacked boxes 200 and the boxes 100 to be labeled slide down onto the third conveying mechanism 3 through the guiding slope of the guide seat 21, the boxes 100 to be labeled will fall from the boxes 200 to be loaded, so that the boxes 200 to be loaded and the boxes 100 to be labeled on the third conveying mechanism 3 are both in a flat state, and the distance between the boxes 200 to be loaded and the boxes 100 to be labeled is relatively close, thereby facilitating the staff, the robot, etc. to install the boxes 200 to be loaded in the boxes 100 to be labeled, and the boxes 200 to be loaded and the boxes 100 to be labeled are a component to be assembled, and the distance between two adjacent components to be assembled is relatively large, so that the staff, the robot, etc. have enough time to install the boxes 200 to be loaded in the boxes 100 to be labeled, and no interference accidents will occur.

[0041] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the labeling device further includes a chassis 10 having an internal space, and the first conveying mechanism 1, the second conveying mechanism 2, the identification mechanism 4, the labeling robot 5, the material taking robot 6 and the label mechanism 7 are all installed in the internal space; The first side of the chassis 10 is provided with a first feed port 101 and a second feed port 102, and the second side of the chassis 10 is provided with an outlet port 103, and the first feed port 101, the second feed port 102 and the outlet port 103 are all connected to the internal space; the first side and the second side are the opposite sides of the chassis 10 respectively; the first conveying mechanism 1 is used to receive the box 100 to be labeled from the first feed port 101, and the second conveying mechanism 2 passes through the second feed port 102 and the outlet port 103.
