[0029] The principle and structure of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment: An automatic labeling machine for the production and processing of electronic watches, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, includes a cabinet 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a labeling mechanism 3, and a positioning mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 2 is arranged on the right part of the cabinet 1 and is used for conveying label paper. The labeling mechanism 3 is arranged on the left part of the cabinet 1, and the labeling mechanism 3 conveys the label peeled off from the feeding mechanism 2 above the watch for labeling. The positioning mechanism 4 is installed on the cabinet 1 below the labeling mechanism 3, and the positioning mechanism 4 is used for positioning the watch.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a motor 21, a feeding cylinder 22, a winding drum 23, a scraping table 24, a redirecting cylinder 25, and a feeding table 26. The rear wall of the cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to the motor 21 by bolts. The feeding cylinder 22 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1 above the motor 21. The winding drum 23 is rotatably arranged on the cabinet 1 below the right side of the feeding cylinder 22. The motor 21 is connected to the feeding cylinder 22 and the winding drum 23 through a transmission mechanism. When the motor 21 rotates, the feeding cylinder 22 rotates counterclockwise and the winding drum 23 rotates clockwise. The redirecting cylinder 25 is rotatably arranged on the cabinet 1 below the winding drum 23. The scraping table 24 is arranged on the cabinet 1 below the redirecting cylinder 25. The feeding table 26 is arranged on the cabinet 1 on the left side of the scraping table 24. The label roll is sleeved on the feeding cylinder 22, then bypasses the scraping table 24 and the redirecting cylinder 25, and the tail end is connected to the winding drum 23.

[0032] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the labeling mechanism 3 includes a horizontal movement module 31, a mounting seat 32, a cylinder 33, a guide rod 34 and a vacuum suction cup 35. The left side of the rear wall of the cabinet 1 is fixedly connected with the horizontal movement module 31 by bolts. The slider of the horizontal movement module 31 is fixedly connected with the mounting seat 32 by bolts. The horizontal movement module 31 drives the mounting seat 32 to move in the left-right direction. The cylinder 33 is vertically installed on the mounting seat 32 by bolts. The vertical guide rods 34 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part of the mounting seat 32. A vacuum suction cup 35 is connected between the bottom ends of the guide rods 34. The vacuum suction cup 35 is connected with the telescopic end of the cylinder 33 through a floating joint.

[0033] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the positioning mechanism 4 includes a front-back movement module 41, a placement table 42, a bidirectional lead screw 43 and clamping jaws 44. The front-back movement module 41 is fixedly connected with the cabinet 1 below the cylinder 33 by bolts. The slider of the front-back movement module 41 is fixedly connected with the placement table 42 by bolts. The bidirectional lead screw 43 is rotatably connected to the placement table 42 through a bearing seat. The clamping jaws 44 are symmetrically arranged on the front and back of the bidirectional lead screw 43 through threads. The clamping jaws 44 are slidably connected to the placement table 42.

[0034] When using this device to label an electronic watch, first install the label roll on the unwinding cylinder 22, then pass the label tape around the deflecting cylinder 25 on the left side, then stick it on the upper side of the scraping table 24, and wind it from the left side of the scraping table 24 to the lower side of the scraping table 24, then wind it up from the right side of the scraping table 24, then pass around the deflecting cylinder with the tail end of the label tape connected to the winding cylinder 23. Then control the motor 21 to rotate, driving the unwinding cylinder 22 to rotate counterclockwise to release the label tape. When the label tape passes the left side of the scraping table 24, the labels on the label tape are squeezed off and fall on the placement table 26. At the same time, the winding cylinder 23 rotates clockwise to collect the waste paper of the fallen labels. Then, according to the width of the watch to be labeled, rotate the bidirectional lead screw 43 to make the clamping jaws 44 approach or separate from each other. After the clamping jaws 44 are adjusted, place the watch to be labeled between the clamping jaws 44. Then, according to the position of the cylinder 33, adjust the position of the watch through the front-back movement module 41. Then drive the cylinder 33 and the devices thereon to move to the right above the fallen label through the horizontal movement module 31, and control the cylinder 33 to extend, driving the vacuum suction cup 35 to move downward to adsorb the label, then control the cylinder 33 to shorten and reset. At the same time, drive the cylinder 33 to move to the left above the watch to be labeled through the horizontal movement module 31, control the cylinder 33 to extend, drive the vacuum suction cup 35 to move downward, and stick the label on the vacuum suction cup 35 on the watch. After labeling, control the cylinder 33 to shorten and reset. Then replace it with a new watch and repeat the above steps of labeling until the labeling of the watch is completed, and then control the motor 21 to stop working.

[0035] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, it further includes a cleaning and leveling mechanism 5. The cleaning and leveling mechanism 5 is used to clean the watch and press the label. The cleaning and leveling mechanism 5 is arranged on the cabinet 1 below the cylinder 33. The cleaning and leveling mechanism 5 includes a optical axis 51, a lifting plate 52, a compression spring 53, a hinged plate 54, a connecting plate 55, a mounting block 56, a track 57, a roller 58, a micro spring 59, a pressure rod 510 and a pressing plate 511. The optical axes 51 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right of the cabinet 1 below the cylinder 33 in the vertical direction. A lifting plate 52 is slidably connected between the optical axes 51. A compression spring 53 is connected between the lifting plate 52 and the optical axes 51. A track 57 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 1 on the front side of the optical axis 51 by bolts. The track 57 is on the left and right sides of the front and rear moving module 41. A connecting plate 55 is slidably connected between the tracks 57. A hinged plate 54 is rotatably connected between the connecting plate 55 and the lifting plate 52. A mounting block 56 is fixedly connected to the middle of the hinged plate 54 by bolts. A roller 58 is slidably arranged up and down at the inner bottom of the mounting block 56. A micro spring 59 is connected between the roller 58 and the mounting block 56. A pressure rod 510 is fixedly connected to the front side of the lifting plate 52 by bolts. A pressing plate 511 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the vacuum chuck 35 by bolts.

[0036] When the vacuum chuck 35 moves downward, it drives the pressing plate 511 to move downward, pushes the pressure rod 510 to move downward, and then drives the lifting plate 52 to move downward. The compression spring 53 is compressed. When the lifting plate 52 moves downward, it drives the upper part of the hinged plate 54 to move downward, and the front part of the hinged plate 54 moves forward, driving the mounting block 56 and the roller 58 to move forward. When the vacuum chuck 35 does not contact the watch, the roller 58 wipes the surface of the watch, and then label pasting is carried out. The roller 58 is connected to the mounting block 56 through the micro spring 59, so that after the roller 58 contacts the watch, it has a buffer force and will not damage the watch during the process of wiping the watch. After the watch is labeled, the vacuum chuck 35 moves upward to reset, driving the pressing plate 511 to move upward to reset. At this time, the compression spring 53 resets to drive the hinged plate 54 to reset, and at the same time drives the mounting block 56 and the roller 58 to move backward to reset. At this time, the roller 58 presses on the label again to reinforce the pasted label; In this way, by wiping the watch with the roller 58, it can prevent the situation that there are sundries on the watch, resulting in bubbles in the label pasting of the watch.

[0037] As Figure 7 shown, it further includes a material table 6. The material table 6 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 1 on the rear side of the optical axis 51 by bolts and is used to place materials for the convenience of workers to take.

[0038] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall similarly be included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
