Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of container tag hanging, and specifically to a fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process. Background Art

[0002] In the commodity production process, the hanging of tags is one of the important steps in the packaging link. Especially for products such as edible oil bottles and red wine bottles, tags are not only carriers of brand information but also important ways for consumers to understand products. Currently, tags are mainly divided into two forms: integral tags and combined tags. Due to their fixed structure and unified material, integral tags have basically achieved automatic hanging. However, for tags composed of elastic ropes and paper cards, due to their variable shapes, soft rope materials, and the key is that the shape of the rope is not fixed, automatic hanging cannot be achieved yet.

[0003] In the prior art, the production of combined tags is usually completed offline by purchasing independent equipment from suppliers or enterprises. During the production process, the elastic rope has been threaded through the tag and knotted to form a complete tag product. During transportation and transfer to the production line, due to the presence of the rope, the tags are prone to chaos, especially the knotting and entanglement problems of the rope ends, which further increase the difficulty of subsequent hanging operations. On the actual production line, when manual operators hang tags, they need to spread the rope to form an aperture larger than the maximum outer diameter of the bottleneck, and then put the tag on the bottleneck. This process has the following significant defects:

[0004] 1. High difficulty in achieving automation: Due to the soft texture and unfixed shape of the elastic rope, it is difficult for existing equipment to efficiently and accurately find the rope end and spread it to the required aperture. The complexity of this action becomes the core difficulty in achieving automatic hanging.

[0005] 2. Low production efficiency: Hanging tags completely relies on manual operation, and the efficiency is much lower than the requirements of modern high-speed production lines, becoming a bottleneck link in the entire production line and directly affecting the overall production efficiency.

[0006] 3. Difficult to guarantee quality: The consistency of manual operation is poor, and problems such as tag position deviation and loose knots are likely to occur, affecting the appearance quality of the product and the brand image.

[0007] 4. High labor cost: Usually, 4 - 6 operators need to be invested in each production line to be specifically responsible for tag hanging. With the annual increase in labor costs, this inefficient manual operation method makes the production cost seriously mismatched with the product value.

[0008] 5. Chaos during transportation and turnover: Although the hangtag has been threaded and knotted during the production process, the hangtag is prone to chaos due to the presence of the rope during transportation and turnover to the production line, further increasing the difficulty of the hanging operation and may even cause the hangtag to be damaged or lost, adding additional costs.

[0009] In summary, the existing technology for hanging tags using a combination of elastic ropes and playing cards has prominent problems such as high difficulty in automation, low efficiency, uncontrollable quality, and high cost. With the development of intelligent transformation, digital transformation, and new quality productivity, major edible oil manufacturers and red wine producers are in urgent need of an automated equipment that can efficiently, accurately, and stably complete the combined tag hanging to solve the existing production pain points and meet the needs of modern production lines for intelligent and high-quality production. Summary of the invention

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0015] S3, expansion: Rotate the hangtag to align the elastic rope seam with the inner support mechanism, and then the inner support mechanism will be inserted into the rope seam to expand the elastic rope;

[0016] S4, transfer: the hanging mechanism is aligned with the inner supporting mechanism and receives the elastic rope after expansion;

[0017] S5. Hanging: The hanging mechanism pushes the elastic rope onto the container to complete the hanging of the tag.

[0018] The fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process as described above: a brush soft clamp is used to clamp the rope head, and the brush on the brush soft clamp is inserted into the rope gap during relative movement, so that a gap is generated in the rope gap for the internal support mechanism to be inserted.

[0019] The fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process as described above: after the inner support mechanism is inserted into the rope seam, the rope head remains in a clamped state, and the take-up and rotation mechanism drives the tag to move along the length direction of the elastic rope to pull the elastic rope.

[0020] The fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process as described above: in S4, the hanging mechanism moves to the inner supporting mechanism and is located at the center of the inner supporting mechanism, and there is an overlapping portion between the hanging mechanism and the inner supporting mechanism.

[0021] The fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process as described above: in S5, the hanging mechanism receives the expanded elastic rope, moves to a position concentric with the hanging opening of the container, moves toward the container, and inserts into the hanging opening of the container, and pushes the elastic rope onto the container.

[0022] The fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process as described above: the storage and delivery bin includes a storage rack, the storage rack is formed with a storage space for placing the tag, and the bottom of the storage space is formed with a through slot for the elastic rope to extend;

[0023] It also includes at least one driving plate, a pushing portion formed on the driving plate is placed in the storage space, and the driving plate is driven to move by a traction structure installed at the side end of the storage rack to push the hanging tag.

[0024] The fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process as described above: the taking and turning mechanism includes:

[0025] A connecting plate, with grabbing units and brush soft clamps installed at both ends of the connecting plate, the grabbing unit is used to grab the identification plate of the tag, and the brush soft clamp is used to clamp the rope end;

[0026] It also includes a rotating drive member, which is used to drive the connecting plate to rotate and drive the hanging tag to perform radial rotation.

[0027] The fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process as described above: the grabbing unit includes:

[0028] A grabbing module and a first moving unit and a second moving unit connected to the grabbing module;

[0029] The first driving unit is used to drive the grabbing module to move horizontally to the storage and delivery bin;

[0030] The second moving unit is used to drive the grabbing module to move radially along the hangtag to cooperate with the brush soft clamp to pull the elastic rope.

[0031] The fully automatic elastic rope combined tag hanging process as described above: the inner support mechanism includes:

[0032] The second supporting plate is driven by the lifting unit to perform lifting action;

[0033] At least three lever rods are arranged on the second supporting plate. The lever rods form the opened position. At least three lever rods are driven by an opening driving member to perform spreading or closing actions, so as to spread the elastic cord after the lever rods are inserted into the cord seam or close the elastic cord after the elastic cord is pushed.

[0034] A jacking assembly is used to push the elastic cord spread by the lever rods onto the hanging mechanism.

[0035] The full-automatic elastic cord combined tag hanging process as described above: The hanging mechanism includes:

[0036] A hollow shaft sleeve for receiving the elastic cord and a pushing member installed on the hollow shaft sleeve and capable of axially moving relative to the hollow shaft sleeve.

[0038] The process provided by the present invention realizes the acquisition of tags, the clamping and flipping of elastic cords, and realizes rapid docking with the inner support mechanism. After the inner support mechanism spreads the elastic cord, it is transferred to the hanging mechanism, and then the hanging mechanism sets the elastic cord on the container, so as to realize the full-automatic hanging of the elastic cord combined tag, which can effectively improve the hanging efficiency, and at the same time ensure the accuracy and stability of hanging. During the whole process, each mechanism works together, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation degree of the production line.

[0039] At the same time, in the present invention, by grasping the identification plate and cooperating with the clamping of the elastic cord head, when the elastic cord is spread, it is convenient for the inner support mechanism to quickly insert into the cord seam of the elastic cord, effectively eliminating the problem that it is not easy to spread due to the soft texture and unfixed shape of the elastic cord, and at the same time effectively avoiding problems such as deviation, jamming or breakage of the elastic cord during the transfer process.

Detailed implementation manners

[0057] The following will refer to the drawings to detail various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present application. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements having the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.

[0058] The special term "exemplary" here means "serving as an example, embodiment or illustration". Any embodiment described as "exemplary" here is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0059] In addition, for better illustration of the present application, numerous specific details are given in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application can also be implemented without some specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail so as to highlight the gist of the present application.

[0060] The elastic cord combined tag includes a sign board and elastic cords, and can be applied to containers such as oil bottles and wine bottles. The present invention aims to propose an automated process and technology for hanging the elastic cord combined tag on the container, to improve the hanging efficiency and automation degree. The detailed implementation manners are as follows:

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 . In the embodiment of the present invention, the full-automatic elastic cord combined tag hanging process includes the following steps:

[0062] S1. Loading: Place a plurality of tags in the storage and delivery bin, and keep the cord ends of the elastic cords on the tags vertically downward. In this step, the staff can manually put a row of tags into the storage and delivery bin together. Of course, before placing, it is necessary to make the cord ends of each tag vertically downward;

[0063] A first detection unit is provided on the storage and transportation bin. The first detection unit establishes communication with the alarm module. The first detection unit is used to detect whether there is a hanging tag in the storage and transportation bin;

[0064] When it is detected that there is a hanging tag in the storage and transportation bin, the picking and rotating mechanism normally performs the material picking action;

[0065] When it is detected that there is no hanging tag in the storage and transportation bin, a lack of material is prompted. After n seconds of prompting, the lack of material information is sent to the alarm module, and the alarm module performs an alarm action to remind the staff to determine whether there is a lack of material or whether the machine has a malfunction.

[0066] The first detection unit described above includes but is not limited to a vision sensor.

[0067] S2. Picking: The picking and rotating mechanism picks out a single hanging tag from the storage and transportation bin, clamps the rope head, and separates the elastic rope seam. Specifically, the brush soft clamp 10 is used to clamp the rope head, and when the brushes on the brush soft clamp 10 move relative to each other, they insert into the rope seam so that a gap is created for the inner support mechanism to insert;

[0068] It also includes a second detection unit for detecting whether the picking and rotating mechanism has successfully picked up a hanging tag. The second detection unit establishes communication with the alarm module;

[0069] When it is detected that the picking and rotating mechanism has successfully picked up a hanging tag, the picking and rotating mechanism performs subsequent rope head clamping and hanging tag rotation actions;

[0070] When it is detected that the picking and rotating mechanism has not successfully picked up a hanging tag, the picking and rotating mechanism performs the material picking action again. After the picking and rotating mechanism has performed n times and still has not successfully picked up a hanging tag, the second detection unit sends a signal to the alarm module, and the alarm module performs an alarm action.

[0071] The second detection unit described above includes but is not limited to a pressure sensor. This pressure sensor is used to detect the negative pressure change during negative pressure suction, so as to identify whether the picking and rotating mechanism is in contact with and attracting the identification tag.

[0072] S3. Expanding and supporting: Rotate the hanging tag to align the elastic rope seam with the inner support mechanism. After the inner support mechanism inserts into the rope seam, it expands the elastic rope. Specifically, after the inner support mechanism inserts into the rope seam, the rope head remains clamped, and the picking and rotating mechanism drives the hanging tag to move along the length direction of the elastic rope to perform a rope straightening operation on the elastic rope;

[0073] Preferably, according to the position setting of the internal support mechanism and the taking and turning mechanism, when the hangtag is rotated, the hangtag is driven to rotate radially 90°. Specifically, the taking and turning mechanism can use negative pressure suction to contact and attract the identification plate on the hangtag, and then pull the hangtag out of the storage and delivery bin, and keep the elastic rope vertically downward. After the hangtag is pulled out, the brush soft clamp 10 is used to clamp the rope end so that the rope end is not limited by the position of the identification plate. Then the taking and turning mechanism is rotated 90° as a whole, so that the identification plate and the elastic rope are in a horizontal position. At this time, the rope seam of the elastic rope is facing the internal support mechanism, thereby facilitating the subsequent stretching operation of the elastic rope.

[0074] S4, transfer: the hanging mechanism is aligned with the inner supporting mechanism and receives the elastic rope after expansion, wherein the hanging mechanism moves to the inner supporting mechanism and is located at the center of the inner supporting mechanism, and there is an overlapping portion between the hanging mechanism and the inner supporting mechanism;

[0075] S5. Hanging: The hanging mechanism pushes the elastic rope onto the container to complete the hanging of the tag. Specifically, the hanging mechanism receives the expanded elastic rope, moves to a position concentric with the hanging opening of the container, moves toward the container, and inserts into the hanging opening of the container, and pushes the elastic rope onto the container.

[0076] During the implementation process, a third detection unit is also provided, which includes but is not limited to a visual sensor, and is used to obtain the hanging status of the tag on the container to determine whether the tag is hung successfully. If not, a signal is sent to the alarm module, and the alarm module executes an alarm action to provide staff with the opportunity for manual intervention.

[0077] In this embodiment, the process provided by the present invention is used to obtain the tag, clamp and flip the elastic rope, and quickly connect with the internal support mechanism. The internal support mechanism expands the elastic rope and transfers it to the hanging mechanism. The hanging mechanism then puts the elastic rope on the container, thereby realizing the fully automatic hanging of the elastic rope combination tag, which can effectively improve the hanging efficiency while ensuring the accuracy and stability of the hanging. During the whole process, various mechanisms work together to reduce manual intervention and improve the degree of automation of the production line.

[0078] At the same time, the present invention grabs the identification plate and clamps the elastic cord head to facilitate the internal support mechanism to quickly insert into the elastic cord seam when the elastic cord is stretched, effectively eliminating the problem of the elastic cord being difficult to stretch due to its soft texture and unstable shape, and also effectively avoiding the problems of the elastic cord being offset, stuck or broken during the transfer process.

[0079] Secondly, the present invention integrates actions such as storage, material retrieval, expansion, transfer, and hanging of the hanging tags, optimizes the connection of each step, makes the positions of the hanging tags on each container uniform after being sleeved, effectively improves the appearance quality of the product, and reduces the complexity, error rate, and inconsistency of manual operations.

[0080] In addition, the fully automatic elastic cord combined hanging tag hanging process of the present invention also has a high degree of flexibility and scalability, and can be adjusted according to different hanging tag sizes and elastic cord specifications, so as to adapt to diverse production requirements and improve the utilization rate of the equipment.

[0081] As another embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 2 - 15 , and a fully automatic elastic cord combined hanging tag hanging device is also proposed to implement the above-mentioned fully automatic elastic cord combined hanging tag hanging method. Specifically:

[0082] The fully automatic elastic cord combined hanging tag hanging device includes:

[0083] A frame 1 and N hanging devices installed on the frame 1. The hanging device includes N feeding components and a hanging mechanism cooperating with the feeding components. The hanging mechanism is driven to move by a three-coordinate module so that when the elastic cord is pushed onto the hanging mechanism, the three-coordinate module drives the hanging mechanism to move directly above the container.

[0084] In this embodiment, the setting of N hanging devices can increase the hanging efficiency of the hanging tags according to requirements, and modular expansion can be realized according to production requirements and production site conditions during the specific implementation process. At the same time, one hanging mechanism is paired with N feeding components, which can effectively reduce the time consumption when the feeding components perform the actions of hanging tag storage, material retrieval, and expansion, and effectively ensure the hanging efficiency of the hanging tags.

[0085] The feeding component includes a storage and delivery bin, a picking and rotating mechanism, and an inner support mechanism. Among them:

[0086] Please refer to Figures 5 - 7 , the storage and delivery bin includes a storage rack 2, a storage space for placing hanging tags is formed on the storage rack 2, a fan-shaped stop portion 6 is formed at the discharge end of the storage space, and a through groove for the elastic cord to extend out is formed at the bottom of the storage space;

[0087] It further includes at least one driving plate 5. The pushing portion formed on the driving plate 5 is placed in the storage space, and the driving plate 5 is driven to move by a traction structure installed at the side end of the storage rack 2 to push the hanging tags.

[0088] Preferably, in this embodiment, two driving plates 5 are provided. The two driving plates 5 are arranged front and back in the storage space. Correspondingly, two traction structures are provided and are respectively installed on both sides of the storage rack 2.

[0089] Exemplarily, in one embodiment, the traction structure includes a guide rod 4 fixedly connected to the storage rack 2, and the guide rod 4 is slidably fitted with the drive plate 5; and also includes a traction device 3 arranged on the side of the storage rack 2 and connected to the drive plate 5.

[0090] In actual application, the traction devices 3 on both sides of the storage rack 2 realize continuous pushing of the hang tags through alternating actions, thereby ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the processing process. Specifically, when one group of traction devices 3 is in working state, the other group of traction devices 3 is in static state. This alternating action design can not only ensure the stable feeding of hang tags, but also effectively avoid the problem of hang tag hanging failure caused by the exhaustion of hang tags while subsequent processing actions are still in progress, which significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of the production line.

[0091] In the initial state, a predetermined number of hang tags are neatly stacked in the storage space of the storage rack 2. At this time, one group of drive plates 5 is tightly abutted against one end of the hang tag. Driven by the traction device 3, the group of drive plates 5 can move in a predetermined direction to provide a stable pushing force for one side of the hang tag. At the same time, the other side of the hang tag maintains contact with the fan-shaped stopper 6 to ensure that the hang tag remains stable during the pushing process. This stable pushing mechanism provides a solid foundation for subsequent hang tag transfer.

[0092] Subsequently, under the action of the transfer mechanism, the tag abutting against the fan-shaped stopper 6 is smoothly pulled out. During this process, the traction device 3 continues to operate to ensure that the drive plate 5 connected thereto can provide continuous and stable thrust for the tag. This design not only ensures the stability of the tag transfer, but also prepares for the next action of the transfer component to ensure that the next tag can be accurately grasped. The transfer component transfers the tag from the storage rack 2 to the subsequent processing station through precise mechanical movement. The whole process is smooth and efficient.

[0093] When one group of driving plates 5 is in contact with the hangtag and provides thrust, the other group of driving plates 5 is in a tilted state and is not in contact with the hangtag. When the number of hangtags at the front end of the driving plates 5 in contact with the hangtag is reduced to a predetermined value, the position of the hangtag can be readjusted through manual intervention. At this time, the driving plates 5 that were originally separated from the hangtag start to work, contact the hangtag and provide thrust, while the previously working driving plates 5 are tilted and return to the initial position. In this way, the two groups of driving plates 5 achieve alternating synergy to ensure the stability of the hangtag feeding.

[0094] It improves the efficiency and stability of tag pushing, reducing production stagnation caused by tag supply interruptions; secondly, by alternately using two sets of drive plates 5, the wear of the equipment is evenly distributed, thus extending the service life of the equipment; in addition, this design also reduces the dependence on manual intervention and improves the automation level of the entire production line; the improvement of the automation level means that during long-term operation, the equipment can maintain consistent performance, reducing production fluctuations caused by human factors. At the same time, due to the reduction in the frequency of manual intervention, the working environment in the workshop is improved, the working intensity of operators is reduced, and the safety hazards caused by frequent operations are reduced, enhancing production safety. Generally speaking, this innovative design provides an efficient, stable and reliable solution for the tag automatic production line, which is applicable to production environments of various scales and can effectively meet the needs of modern automatic production.

[0095] Please refer to Figures 8 - 9 , the picking and rotating mechanism includes a connecting plate 11, with a grasping unit and a brush soft clip 10 respectively installed at both ends of the connecting plate 11. The grasping unit is used to grasp the identification plate of the tag, and the brush soft clip 10 is used to clamp and place the rope end; it also includes a rotating driving member, which is used to drive the connecting plate 11 to rotate and drive the tag to perform a radial rotation action.

[0096] Exemplarily, in one implementation, the grasping unit includes:

[0097] a grasping module and a first moving unit and a second moving unit connecting the grasping module. Specifically, the grasping module includes a negative pressure head 8, and the first moving unit and the second moving unit are respectively a first electric telescopic rod 7 and a fourth electric telescopic rod 28;

[0098] The first driving unit is used to drive the grasping module to move horizontally to the storage and feeding bin;

[0099] The second moving unit is used to drive the grasping module to move radially along the tag to cooperate with the brush soft clip to perform the operation of straightening the elastic rope.

[0100] The first electric telescopic rod 7 is fixed at one end of the connecting plate 11, and the movable end of the first electric telescopic rod 7 is fixed with a mounting frame 27. The negative pressure head 8 is slidably installed on the mounting frame 27 and is driven to move by a fourth electric telescopic rod 28 installed on the mounting frame 27.

[0101] When the first electric telescopic rod 7 extends, it drives the negative pressure head 8 and the fourth electric telescopic rod 28 to move synchronously to the storage and feeding bin. When the negative pressure head 8 abuts against the identification plate, the negative pressure machine connected to the negative pressure head 8 works, so that the negative pressure head 8 generates negative pressure to grab the identification plate. The first electric telescopic rod 7 retracts to the initial position. Subsequently, the brush soft clamp 10 clamps the rope end of the elastic rope. The set rotation driving member drives the grasping unit and the brush soft clamp 10 to rotate integrally by 90°. Subsequently, the fourth electric telescopic rod 28 is controlled to act to cooperate with the brush soft clamp 10 to realize the rope straightening action.

[0102] The above-mentioned rotation driving member includes a driving motor 9, and the output end of the driving motor 9 is fixed to the connecting plate 11. The above-mentioned first electric telescopic rod 7 and the fourth electric telescopic rod 28 can be replaced by a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, as long as the telescopic driving requirement is met. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0103] Through the setting of the above structure, the automatic grasping of the hanging tag identification plate and the automatic straightening of the elastic rope are realized, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of hanging the elastic rope combined with the hanging tag. The brush soft clamp 10 clamps the rope end of the elastic rope to ensure that the rope end is stable and does not fall off, and at the same time ensures that the elastic rope is neat and does not entangle, effectively eliminating the problem that it is not easy to expand due to the soft texture and unfixed shape of the elastic rope.

[0104] Please refer to Figures 10 - 13 , the inner support mechanism includes:

[0105] The second supporting plate 14 is driven by the lifting unit to perform lifting actions. Preferably, the lifting unit includes a second electric telescopic rod 12 installed on the frame 1. The action end of the second electric telescopic member 12 is connected with a first supporting plate 13, and a second supporting plate 14 parallel to it is arranged on the first supporting plate 13;

[0106] At least three dial rods 18 are arranged on the second supporting plate 14. The dial rods 18 form the spreading position. At least three dial rods 18 are driven by the spreading driving member to perform spreading or closing actions, so as to expand the elastic rope after the dial rods 18 are inserted into the rope gap or close after the elastic rope is pushed. Specifically, it includes a third electric telescopic member 15 fixedly connected to the second supporting plate 14 and at least three groups of guiding slide rails 16 arranged on the second supporting plate 14. A driven member 17 fixedly connected to the dial rod 18 is slidably installed on the guiding slide rail 16; A hinge rod 19 is rotatably installed on the action end of the third electric telescopic member 15, and one end of the hinge rod 19 away from the third electric telescopic member 15 is rotatably connected to the driven member 17;

[0107] The lifting assembly is used to push the elastic rope stretched by the lever 18 to the hanging mechanism. The lifting assembly includes a first cylinder 20 fixedly mounted on the second supporting plate 14, and a lifting member 21 is connected to the action end of the first cylinder 20.

[0108] During use, when the elastic rope changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the second electric telescopic member 12 is started, driving the lever 18 to move upward and insert it into the rope gap of the elastic rope. Subsequently, the third electric telescopic member 15 is actuated, and the follower 17 is moved away from the lever 18 through the hinged rod 19. At this time, the levers 18 will also move away from each other, thereby stretching the elastic rope. The first cylinder 20 is actuated, driving the lifting member 21 to move upward. The lifting member 21 acts on the elastic rope to make it move along the length direction of the lever 18 until the lifting member 21 separates the elastic rope from the lever 18. At this time, the elastic rope shrinks under the action of its own elastic force and fits on the hanging mechanism, completing the transfer of the tag from the lever 18 to the hanging mechanism.

[0109] Through the precise movement of the second electric telescopic component 12, the lever 18 can be smoothly inserted into the elastic rope, avoiding the problem of tag deviation or jamming due to unstable insertion. Secondly, the coordinated action of the third electric telescopic component 15 and the hinged rod 19 enables the lever 18 to accurately stretch the elastic rope, ensuring that the elastic rope will not be damaged due to uneven force during the transfer process.

[0110] The number of the levers 18 is preferably 4, so that when the elastic rope is stretched out, a larger space can be provided to facilitate the placement of the hanging mechanism in the space.

[0111] The second electric telescopic rod 12 and the third electric telescopic rod 15 described above may also be replaced by a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, as long as the telescopic drive requirements are met, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0112] See also Figures 14 - 15 The hanging mechanism includes a hollow sleeve 23 for receiving the elastic rope and a pushing member installed on the hollow sleeve 23 and capable of axially moving relative to the hollow sleeve 23. The pushing member applies a pushing force to the elastic rope to push the elastic rope from the hollow sleeve 23 to the container.

[0113] Specifically, the pushing member includes a pushing ring 25 slidably mounted on the outside of the hollow sleeve 23 and at least one second cylinder 24 installed on the hollow sleeve 23 for pushing the pushing ring 25 to move. An inner convex portion 2501 extending into the hollow groove 2301 is formed on the inner wall of the pushing ring 25. When the pushing ring 25 moves, it can drive the tag elastic rope mounted on the hollow sleeve 23 to separate from the hollow sleeve 23.

[0114] During the actual operation process, when the tag elastic cord is transferred to the hollow shaft sleeve 23, the pushing ring 25 is located above the tag elastic cord. At this time, the three-coordinate module works to precisely control the position of the hollow shaft sleeve 23 in the three-dimensional space, making it coaxial and closely fitting with the bottle mouth of the container. This high-precision positioning and fitting mechanism provides a stable foundation for the subsequent elastic cord transfer process.

[0115] When the hollow shaft sleeve 23 reaches the ideal position with the bottle mouth, the second cylinder 24 starts to act. The moving end of the second cylinder 24 extends, pushing the pushing ring 25 to move downward along the hollow shaft sleeve 23. During the downward movement of the pushing ring 25, it closely fits with the tag elastic cord, ensuring that the elastic cord can smoothly move downward along the inner wall of the hollow shaft sleeve 23. This process not only improves the stability of the elastic cord transfer but also effectively avoids problems such as deviation, jamming, or breakage of the elastic cord during the transfer process, thus significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the transfer.

[0116] Furthermore, the inner convex part 2501 on the pushing ring 25 can extend into the hollow groove 2301 on the hollow shaft sleeve 23. This design prevents the elastic cord from entering the slit between the pushing ring 25 and the hollow shaft sleeve 23 during the pushing process. If the elastic cord accidentally enters the slit, it will not only cause the elastic cord to be unable to move normally but also may be squeezed and damaged or even broken in the slit, thus affecting the efficiency and quality of the entire tag elastic cord transfer. The cooperation between the inner convex part 2501 and the hollow groove 2301 effectively avoids this situation and ensures that the elastic cord can be smoothly transferred from the hollow shaft sleeve 23 to the bottle mouth position.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As described above, the three-coordinate module includes a linear drive module 22. Specifically, the linear drive module 22 includes drive units in the X, Y, and Z directions. The drive unit includes a linear driver or a lead screw drive member, etc., which can be specifically selected according to actual needs. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.
