The limit baffles 22 are pulled to move within the second chutes 21 to adjust the distance between the two limit baffles 22 to accommodate labels of different widths. After adjustment, the limit baffles 22 are fixed to the first transition plate 6 by bolts.

[0023] One side of the first transition plate 6 and one side of the second transition plate 16 are rotatably connected with transition rollers 18, which provide support and transition for the conveying of labels.
[0024] A third guide roller 28 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 1, a paper collecting wheel 29 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 1, a traction motor 31 is fixed to one side of the mounting plate 1 by bolts, the output end of the traction motor 31, one end of the traction roller 4, one end of the transition roller 18 and one end of the direction-changing roller 20 are all key-connected with synchronous pulleys 30, the synchronous pulleys 30 are transmission-connected with a toothed belt 32, the synchronous pulleys 30 are rotated under the driving of the traction motor 31, thereby driving the toothed belt 32 to rotate, and further driving the traction roller 4, the transition roller 18 and the direction-changing roller 20 to rotate, thereby conveying the labels and winding the release paper.
[0025] The labeling assembly comprises a suction cup 37, a bracket 33 is fixed to one side of the mounting plate 1 by bolts, a monitoring camera 27 is fixed to the bottom of the bracket 33 by bolts, an electric push rod 34 is fixed to one side of the bracket 33 by bolts, a linear motor 35 is fixed to the bottom end of the electric push rod 34 by bolts, the linear motor 35 drives the label on the suction cup 37 to move, so that the label is aligned with the electric meter below, the bottom end of the linear motor 35 is fixed with a suction box 36 by bolts, the suction cup 37 is inserted into the bottom of the suction box 36, a vacuum pump is fixed in the suction box 36 by bolts, the suction cup 37 is connected with the vacuum pump, and a plurality of exhaust holes are arranged on the top of the suction box 36, the space between the suction cup 37 and the label is vacuumized under the action of the vacuum pump, so that the label is adsorbed; A recognition camera 38 is fixed to one side of the linear motor 35 by bolts, and the recognition camera 38 detects whether there is an electric meter below.
[0026] The processor is connected with the pneumatic push rod 9, the monitoring camera 27, the traction motor 31, the electric push rod 34, the linear motor 35 and the vacuum pump through wires.
[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the labeling mechanism is installed above the conveyor belt that conveys the electric meter. First, the limit baffle 22 is pulled to move in the second slide groove 21, so as to adjust the distance between the two limit baffles 22 to accommodate labels of different widths, and then the limit baffle 22 is fixed by bolts. Next, the label is wrapped around the label placing plate 2, and then the free end of the label is passed around the first guide roller 3, the traction roller 4 and the second guide roller 5 in sequence. Next, the free end of the label passes between the two limit baffles 22 on the top of the first transition plate 6, and then the free end of the label is passed around from under the adjusting roller 13 and placed on the second transition plate 16. Next, the free end of the release paper of the label is passed around one side of the peeling plate 19 and extends downward, while the label remains in the horizontal direction, so that the release paper is separated from the label, and then passed around from under the changing roller 20 and the pressure roller 26, and then passed around from above the third guide roller 28 and wound around the paper receiving roller 29; Then, the traction motor 31 is started, and the synchronous pulley 30 rotates under the drive of the traction motor 31, thereby driving the toothed belt 32 to rotate, and then driving the traction roller 4, the transition roller 18 and the change roller 20 to rotate, thereby conveying the label and winding the release paper. During this process, the monitoring camera 27 and the processor monitor the damage and missing of the label; During the conveying process, the traction roller 4 provides power for the conveying of the label, and then under the guiding action of the first guide roller 3 and the second guide roller 5, and the limited conveying of the two limit baffles 22, the label paper is conveyed to the bottom of the adjusting roller 13. At this time, the pneumatic push rod 9 stretches and drives the mounting frame 10 and the adjusting roller 13 to move downward, so that the adjusting roller 13 presses the label downward, thereby tensioning the label. Then, the label is conveyed to the second transition plate 16, and the release paper is turned downward under the action of the peeling plate 19, and then the release paper is separated from the continuous label under the winding force of the paper-receiving roller 29, thereby tearing the release paper from the bottom of the label. During the release paper winding process, the pressure roller 26 is pressed on the release paper under the action of the torsion spring 25, and the tension of the release paper winding is adaptively adjusted as the release paper roll increases, so as to tighten the release paper roll. Then, the pneumatic push rod 9 contracts and drives the adjusting roller 13 to move upward, thereby loosening the label. Then, driven by the connecting rod 17, the second transition plate 16 is pushed forward, thereby pushing the label on the second transition plate 16 to the bottom of the labeling assembly. Then, the electric push rod 34 stretches and drives the suction cup 37 to move downward to contact the label. Then, under the action of the vacuum pump, the space between the suction cup 37 and the label is evacuated, thereby adsorbing the label. Then, the electric push rod 34 contracts and the label is retracted. When the recognition camera 38 detects that an electric meter passes below, it passes the information to the processor for processing. Then, the processor controls the linear motor 35 to work, and the linear motor 35 drives the label on the suction cup 37 to move, so that the label is aligned with the electric meter below. Then, the electric push rod 34 stretches and drives the label to move downward and contact the surface of the electric meter, so that the label is attached to the surface of the electric meter. Finally, the suction cup 37 is retracted by the stretching of the electric push rod 34, completing a labeling operation.
[0028] Example 2 Reference Figure 7 A surface labeling mechanism for an electric meter includes a mounting block 39 fixed to the top of a limit baffle 22 by bolts, a transmission shaft 40 is rotatably mounted on one end of the mounting block 39 through an embedded bearing, and a smoothing wheel 41 is sleeved on one end of the transmission shaft 40. The smoothing wheel 41 rotates under the drive of the label conveyor, thereby smoothing the wrinkles on the label.
[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the label passes under the two smoothing wheels 41, and the smoothing wheels 41 rotate under the driving force of the label conveyor, thereby smoothing the wrinkles of the label.
