Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of badge processing equipment technology, and specifically to a badge cutting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the badge production process, material preparation and mixing is one of the key steps, directly affecting subsequent production efficiency and final product quality. Currently, the badge preparation stage generally employs manual material mixing, requiring workers to manually sort, proportion, and prepare badges of different specifications and types.

[0003] This manual operation method has obvious technical defects: on the one hand, manual mixing requires operators to continuously repeat sorting and proportioning actions, which is labor-intensive and has low efficiency, requiring a large investment of human resources and increasing the overall production and manufacturing cost of badges; on the other hand, the proportioning accuracy of manual mixing depends entirely on the operator's operating experience and sense of responsibility, and cannot be controlled by objective standards, making it difficult to guarantee the actual proportioning effect, which is prone to proportioning errors, leading to customer complaints and affecting the company's production efficiency and brand reputation.

[0004] To address the problems associated with manual mixing, there is an urgent need to develop an automated badge cutting device. This device would automate the badge cutting process, reducing labor costs and intensity while ensuring accurate badge proportions and minimizing customer complaints. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a badge feeding device that solves the technical problems of high labor intensity and unreliable proportions in manual badge mixing. It achieves automated feeding and precise proportions, reduces production costs, and decreases customer complaints.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A badge feeding device includes a partition conveyor mechanism, a feeding conveyor mechanism, and a badge issuing mechanism. The feeding conveyor mechanism is a conveyor belt structure with its end connected to the partition conveyor mechanism. The feeding conveyor mechanism has multiple badge issuing mechanisms arranged along its length, and the materials of the badge issuing mechanisms have a specific ratio.

[0008] The partition conveying mechanism includes a sprocket drive assembly, a blocking mechanism, and a badge conveying line. The sprocket drive assembly is used to confirm the feeding time of each group of products and send a control signal to the blocking mechanism. After receiving the signal, the blocking mechanism sorts the products, and the sorted products are sent out through the badge conveying line.

[0009] Three mechanisms constitute the core components of the equipment, forming a complete automated operation chain for badges, from material handling and conveying to proportioning and dispensing. Each mechanism performs its specific function and works in concert to replace manual labor in the entire process of badge mixing and dispensing, achieving automated production, reducing labor costs, and ensuring proportioning accuracy. The conveyor belt structure ensures continuous and stable badge transport, guaranteeing the continuity of the dispensing operation; its end connects to the partition conveyor mechanism, achieving seamless connection between the material handling and dispensing stages, avoiding material accumulation and scattering during transfer, and improving equipment operating efficiency. Multiple card-issuing mechanisms can each correspond to badge materials of different specifications / models, meeting the needs of simultaneous proportioning and dispensing of badges of multiple specifications. This allows for the accurate proportioning of multiple sets of badges in a single conveying, significantly improving proportioning and dispensing efficiency and adapting to diverse badge production proportioning requirements. Clearly defined dispensing requirements for the card-issuing mechanisms ensure that the quantity and specifications of badge materials dispensed by each mechanism meet the preset production proportioning standards. From a structural design perspective, this avoids the randomness of manual proportioning, solves the technical problem of unreliable badge proportioning quality, and reduces customer complaints caused by proportioning errors. Three components constitute the core operating unit of the partition conveyor mechanism: the sprocket drive assembly serves as the control core, the blocking mechanism is the material handling execution unit, and the badge conveyor line is the material conveying unit. These three components work together to achieve orderly material handling and precise conveying of badges, preventing disorderly accumulation of badges from affecting subsequent batching and ensuring the orderly operation of the material feeding process. As the timing control core of the partition conveyor mechanism, it precisely controls the timing of product feeding, achieving timing matching between the material handling action of the blocking mechanism and the overall material feeding operation. This ensures the coordination of material handling and feeding actions, avoiding material accumulation or idle feeding problems caused by timing deviations. It also organizes, sorts, and separates disorderly conveyed badge products, arranging them according to a set posture and spacing. This ensures the orderly conveying of badges by the subsequent badge conveyor line, avoiding problems such as conveyor jams and feeding errors caused by disordered badges, laying the foundation for accurate batching and feeding. The system employs a sawing-style dispensing method to achieve intermittent and precise badge delivery. The timing and position of badge dispensing can be precisely controlled according to the position of the material trough of the feeding conveyor, ensuring that the badges fall accurately into the designated position of the feeding conveyor and avoiding material misalignment caused by continuous conveying.

[0010] Optionally, the card issuing mechanism includes a connected card issuing frame and a replenishment channel. The replenishment channel is equipped with a replenishment sensor. A blocking brush assembly is provided between the card issuing frame and the replenishment channel. The card issuing frame is equipped with a negative pressure assembly and a displacement assembly for transferring badges one by one.

[0011] The card-issuing frame provides installation support and positioning foundation for all actuators of the card-issuing mechanism, ensuring the installation accuracy and coordinated operation of each component. The replenishment channel provides a continuous replenishment path for badge materials, enabling continuous badge replenishment and ensuring the continuity of the card-issuing mechanism's feeding operation, avoiding operation interruptions due to material shortages. Real-time monitoring of the remaining badge material in the replenishment channel enables real-time detection and alarm for material shortages, promptly reminding staff to replenish materials and preventing interruptions in the card-issuing mechanism's feeding operation due to material shortages, ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire equipment's proportioning and feeding operation. Stacked badges conveyed from the replenishment channel are separated and sorted to ensure that only a single badge enters the suction position of the negative pressure component at a time, avoiding errors in the feeding quantity caused by multiple badges being suctioned simultaneously, ensuring the accuracy of single feeding by the card-issuing mechanism, and controlling the proportioning accuracy from the source. The negative pressure component provides the power for badge adsorption, ensuring reliable adsorption of individual badges. The displacement component provides the power and stroke limitation for the movement of the negative pressure component, driving it to reciprocate between the replenishment channel and the unloading conveyor mechanism, completing the transfer of badges from the replenishment channel to the unloading conveyor mechanism. Together, they achieve precise badge pickup and delivery. By clearly defining the core unloading method of the card issuing mechanism, it ensures that only a single badge is transferred at a time, achieving quantitative badge unloading. This meets the requirement for precise delivery of individual materials in proportioning unloading, avoids proportioning errors caused by simultaneous transfer of multiple materials, and improves proportioning accuracy.

[0012] Optionally, the negative pressure component can adsorb the product after receiving an externally transmitted signal. The displacement component includes a hairpin crank structure, and the end of the hairpin crank structure is provided with a rotatable negative pressure component and defines two limit positions of the suction cup in the negative pressure component.

[0013] The timing control of the negative pressure component's adsorption action ensures precise matching between its adsorption action and the overall equipment's feeding sequence and card-issuing mechanism's displacement. This prevents adsorption failure or feeding misalignment due to timing deviations, guaranteeing the coordination of badge adsorption and transfer. The card-issuing crank structure converts rotational motion into oscillating motion, providing stable power and precise stroke control for the negative pressure component's movement. Compared to traditional telescopic structures, the crank structure offers higher motion precision and smoother operation, accurately defining the negative pressure component's trajectory and ensuring the pinpoint accuracy of badge transfer. The design also allows for angle adjustment of the negative pressure component during movement, ensuring optimal adsorption angle with the badges in the feeding channel at the adsorption position and optimal placement angle with the feeding conveyor's trough at the feeding position. This improves adsorption reliability and placement accuracy, preventing adsorption failure or badge drop due to angular deviations. Precisely define the suction cup's adsorption and discharge limits to prevent collisions with the replenishment channel and discharge conveyor due to excessive movement. This ensures that the suction cup accurately reaches the adsorption and discharge positions each time, improving the positional accuracy of adsorption and discharge and guaranteeing the standardization and consistency of the card issuing mechanism's discharge action.

[0014] Optionally, the negative pressure component is fixed to a rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to the end of the hairpin crank structure and fixed to another crank rod, for rotating the suction cup to transfer it from the feeding channel to the unloading conveyor mechanism.

[0015] This system provides support and a rotation axis for the negative pressure component, ensuring its stability and angular accuracy. It allows for precise angle adjustment around the axis, adapting to different angle requirements for adsorption and dispensing. The rotation of the negative pressure component is linked to the rotation of the axis, achieving mechanized control of angle adjustment. The axis can rotate freely at the end of the hairpin crank structure while maintaining stable connection between the axis and the structure. This allows the negative pressure component to both reciprocate with the hairpin crank structure and rotate independently around the axis, achieving a combined motion of movement and rotation to meet the dual adjustment requirements of position and angle during badge transfer. The rotation of the crank rod drives the axis, achieving mechanized and automated control of the negative pressure component's angle adjustment. The crank rod's rotation stroke precisely matches the negative pressure component's rotation angle, ensuring accuracy and consistency in angle adjustment. Automatic switching between adsorption and dispensing angles is achieved without manual intervention. By rotating the suction cup in conjunction with moving the hairpin crank structure, the badges are smoothly transferred from the feeding channel to the unloading conveyor. During the transfer process, the angle is adjusted to ensure that the badges remain in a stable adsorption state, preventing the badges from falling off due to angle changes during the transfer process. At the same time, it ensures that the badges are accurately placed into the material trough of the unloading conveyor.

[0016] Optionally, a feeding sensor is provided next to the negative pressure component, and the feeding sensor is aligned with the negative pressure adsorption end of the negative pressure component.

[0017] The system monitors the adsorption status and feeding position of the negative pressure component in real time to confirm whether the component has successfully adsorbed a single badge. It also checks whether the component has accurately reached the feeding position, providing precise signals for triggering the feeding action. This avoids errors in proportioning caused by empty suction, excessive suction, or feeding position deviations, improving feeding accuracy. The system ensures the feeding sensor accurately detects the material state and position information at the negative pressure adsorption end, avoiding errors in detection results due to detection angle deviations. This guarantees the accuracy and reliability of the sensor's detection, providing precise signal feedback for the adsorption and feeding actions of the negative pressure component.

[0018] Optionally, the feeding conveying mechanism includes a conveying guide rail and a feeding conveyor frame, wherein the conveying guide rail cooperates with the card issuing frame.

[0019] The feeding conveyor frame provides mounting support and overall positioning for the conveyor rails and other auxiliary components, ensuring the structural stability of the feeding conveyor mechanism. The conveyor rails guide and limit the conveyor belt, ensuring its smooth operation along the set trajectory and preventing material misalignment caused by conveyor belt deviation, thus improving the operational stability and conveying accuracy of the feeding conveyor mechanism. It achieves precise positioning and coordination between the feeding conveyor mechanism and the card issuing mechanism, ensuring accurate alignment between the card issuing mechanism's feeding position and the material trough position on the conveyor rails, preventing misalignment of badges due to positioning deviations, ensuring the positional accuracy of the proportioned feeding, and making the connection between the two more compact, improving the overall structural coordination of the equipment.

[0020] Alternatively, the displacement component may be a telescopic cylinder.

[0021] The telescopic cylinder provides linear reciprocating power for the movement of the negative pressure component. It features fast action response, stable thrust, and precise stroke control, and can quickly drive the negative pressure component to reciprocate between the adsorption position and the unloading position, thereby improving the unloading efficiency of the card issuing mechanism. At the same time, the stroke of the cylinder can be precisely controlled by adjusting the limit device to ensure the movement accuracy of the negative pressure component.

[0022] Optionally, the adsorption action of the negative pressure component is linked to the feeding timing signal of the sprocket drive component.

[0023] The timing of the negative pressure component's adsorption action and the material handling and unloading actions of the isolation conveyor mechanism is synchronized, so that the actions of all mechanisms in the entire equipment are linked and coordinated, avoiding material accumulation, empty running of unloading, or incorrect proportioning caused by the disjointed actions of individual mechanisms, ensuring the overall coordination and smoothness of the equipment's operation, and improving the efficiency of automated operation.

[0024] Optionally, the blocking mechanism includes a barrier net connected to a cylinder for lifting and lowering, the barrier net being located above the badge conveyor line, and the blocking mechanism being connected to a controller.

[0025] The barrier uses a mesh structure to flexibly block and organize badges. It effectively prevents messy badges from being transported randomly and avoids scratches, bumps, and other damage to the badge surface, ensuring the product's appearance quality. The mesh structure also reduces the contact area with the badges, lowering friction during the organization process. The barrier is raised and lowered by the extension and retraction of a cylinder, automating the switching between blocking and releasing states. The cylinder's fast response and precise control allow it to quickly coordinate with the control signals of the sprocket drive assembly to complete the organization and release actions, improving the efficiency of the blocking mechanism and automating the organization process. This ensures the barrier effectively blocks and organizes badges on the badge conveyor line, with the barrier's working position precisely corresponding to the badge's conveying path. This prevents organization failures due to installation position deviations. Furthermore, the barrier's upper position does not interfere with the normal operation of the badge conveyor line, ensuring that organization and conveying actions do not interfere with each other.

[0026] Optionally, the partition conveying mechanism, the unloading conveying mechanism, and the card issuing mechanism are all connected to the controller.

[0027] A centralized control system for the equipment is formed with the controller as the core, realizing unified timing control and linkage of various mechanisms. This ensures that the actions of each mechanism are executed precisely according to the preset material feeding and mixing scheme, guaranteeing the overall coordination, accuracy and automation of the equipment operation. At the same time, it allows staff to set and adjust the mixing parameters and operation sequence through the controller, improving the ease of operation of the equipment.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages:

[0029] Optimize labor costs and reduce labor intensity: This equipment realizes fully automated badge feeding, replacing the traditional manual mixing method. A single machine can handle the feeding of three types of badge products, eliminating the need for a large number of operators to manually sort and mix, greatly reducing labor production costs, and completely solving the problem of high labor intensity in manual mixing.

[0030] Improved mixing quality and reduced customer complaints: This equipment achieves precise mixing of badge products through the precise coordination of components such as the feeding sensor and sprocket drive assembly. The mixing accuracy is far higher than that of manual operation, effectively ensuring the stability of mixing quality, greatly reducing the probability of mixing errors, and thus significantly reducing customer complaints caused by mixing problems, thereby improving the company's production efficiency and brand reputation.

[0031] High operational stability and low interruption: The replenishment sensor in the card issuing mechanism can monitor the number of magazine products in real time. When there is a shortage of material, it will promptly alarm to remind you to replenish the material, avoiding interruption of the feeding operation due to material shortage and ensuring the continuity and stability of the feeding operation; at the same time, the negative pressure component is equipped with a negative pressure sensor to ensure the reliability of product adsorption and prevent operation failure caused by product falling off.

[0032] Reasonable structural design and convenient operation: The various mechanisms of this equipment are integrated and linked. The displacement component directly limits the limit position of the suction cup through the structural design, without the need for additional adjustment. The overall operation of the equipment is simple. Operators only need to perform regular material replenishment and equipment inspection. No professional operating skills are required, which reduces personnel training costs.

[0033] Wide range of applications and strong compatibility: This equipment is compatible with three common badge models, eliminating the need for separate equipment configuration for different models. This effectively improves equipment utilization and reduces equipment investment costs, making it suitable for the blanking process of various badge manufacturing and processing enterprises.

[0040] To further understand the content of this invention, a detailed description of the invention will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Combined with appendix Figure 1-5 A badge feeding device includes a partition conveyor 1, a feeding conveyor 2, and a card issuing mechanism 3. The partition conveyor 1 first sorts and transports the badge products in an orderly manner to prepare for subsequent proportioning and feeding. The feeding conveyor 2 serves as a material conveying carrier, receiving the sorted badges and providing a working platform for the proportioning and feeding of the card issuing mechanism 3. The card issuing mechanism 3 accurately places badges of different specifications onto the feeding conveyor 2 according to preset proportioning requirements. The three are linked in a preset sequence to complete the automated proportioning and feeding of badges.

[0043] The feeding conveyor 2 is a conveyor belt structure with its end connected to the partition conveyor 1. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor to perform continuous reciprocating motion. The end connected to the partition conveyor 1 receives badges conveyed from the partition conveyor 1. The friction between the conveyor belt and the badges drives the badges to move along the conveying direction, transporting them to the corresponding working positions of each badge issuing mechanism 3, providing a continuous material conveying foundation for subsequent batching. Multiple badge issuing mechanisms 3 are arranged along the length of the feeding conveyor 2. According to the preset badge batching scheme, the badge issuing mechanisms 3 are arranged at set intervals along the length of the feeding conveyor 2. Each badge issuing mechanism 3 independently corresponds to a badge of a specific specification. When the feeding conveyor 2 conveys the material trough to the corresponding position of each badge issuing mechanism 3, each badge issuing mechanism 3 completes the feeding action sequentially according to the batching sequence, achieving synchronous batching of badges of multiple specifications. The material of the badge issuing mechanism 3 has a batching ratio. The controller presets the feeding quantity, feeding sequence and other ratio parameters for each card issuing mechanism 3. According to the preset parameters, the card issuing mechanism 3 completes the quantitative and specification feeding of badges when it receives the feeding trigger signal. The feeding actions of multiple card issuing mechanisms 3 are coordinated according to the ratio requirements, so that the badge material on the feeding conveyor mechanism 2 reaches the preset ratio standard.

[0044] Combined with appendix Figure 2 The isolation conveying mechanism 1 includes a sprocket drive assembly 4, a blocking mechanism 5, and a badge conveying line 6. The sprocket drive assembly 4 serves as the power and control core, providing action signals and power support for the blocking mechanism 5 and the badge conveying line 6. The blocking mechanism 5 sorts and separates the messy badges, arranging them in a set posture. The badge conveying line 6 receives the sorted badges and conveys them to the unloading conveying mechanism 2, forming a standardized sorting and conveying process.

[0045] The sprocket drive assembly 4 is used to confirm the feeding timing of each group of products and send a control signal to the blocking mechanism 5. The sprocket drive assembly 4 accurately calculates and confirms the feeding timing of each group of badge products using parameters such as the number of rotations and rotation speed of the sprocket. When the preset feeding timing is reached, an action control signal is sent to the blocking mechanism 5 via an electrical signal, triggering the blocking mechanism 5 to perform either sorting or releasing actions, thus synchronizing the sorting and feeding sequence. After receiving the signal, the blocking mechanism 5 sorts the products. Upon receiving the control signal from the sprocket drive assembly 4, the blocking mechanism 5, through the action of its own actuators, blocks and organizes the messy badges conveyed to the working position, arranging the irregularly arranged badges into a neat queue, allowing the badges to enter the badge conveyor line 6 according to the set direction and spacing, completing the product sorting.

[0046] After the materials are sorted, the badges are sent out via a sawing motion through the badge conveyor line 6. Under the control of the sprocket drive assembly 4, the badge conveyor line 6 performs a reciprocating sawing motion. When a feeding signal is received, the badge conveyor line 6 moves forward to transport the sorted badges to the feeding port. After one feeding is completed, the conveyor line reverses and resets, waiting for the next feeding action after sorting. The badges are accurately and quantitatively fed out through intermittent sawing motion.

[0047] Combined with appendix Figure 3 , 4The card issuing mechanism 3 includes a connected card issuing frame 12 and a feeding channel 15. The feeding channel 15 is equipped with a feeding sensor 8. A blocking brush assembly 9 is provided between the card issuing frame 12 and the feeding channel 15. The card issuing frame 12 is equipped with a negative pressure assembly 10 and a displacement assembly 11 for transferring badges one by one. The card issuing frame 12 adopts a rigid structure design to fix and position components such as the negative pressure assembly 10 and the displacement assembly 11, limiting the working position and stroke of each component. The feeding channel 15 is connected to an external storage device. Under the action of gravity or an auxiliary feeding mechanism, the badge material is continuously transported along the feeding channel 15 to the adsorption working position of the card issuing mechanism 3, providing a continuous material supply for the adsorption and feeding of the negative pressure assembly 10. The replenishment sensor 8 uses photoelectric sensing, infrared detection, and other methods to detect badge material at a designated location within the replenishment channel 15 in real time. When the detected material quantity falls below a preset threshold, the sensor sends an electrical signal to the controller, which triggers an audible and visual alarm to notify staff to replenish the replenishment channel 15 promptly, ensuring a sufficient material supply. The blocking brush assembly 9 consists of multiple elastic brushes arranged at a set interval. The ends of the brushes extend to the outlet of the replenishment channel 15. When the badges stacked within the replenishment channel 15 are conveyed to the outlet, the elastic brushes block and separate the stacked badges, allowing only a single badge to pass through the gaps between the brushes into the adsorption area of ​​the card issuing frame 12, thus achieving single-material separation. The negative pressure component 10 uses the suction force generated by the negative pressure to adhere and fix a single badge at the feeding channel 15. After receiving the feeding signal, the displacement component 11 moves the negative pressure component 10 from the suction position of the feeding channel 15 to the feeding position of the feeding conveyor 2. When it reaches the preset feeding position, the negative pressure component 10 releases the negative pressure, placing the badge into the designated position of the feeding conveyor 2, completing the badge transfer. By using the single-item separation of the blocking brush component 9 and the precise suction of the negative pressure component 10, it is ensured that only a single badge is picked up each time. Then, through the precise movement of the displacement component 11, the single badges are transferred one by one from the feeding channel 15 to the feeding conveyor 2, realizing the independent and precise feeding of a single badge, providing a basis for the accurate proportioning of badges of multiple specifications.

[0048] After receiving an external signal, the negative pressure component 10 adsorbs the product. The displacement component 11 includes a hairpin crank structure 14, the end of which is equipped with a rotatable negative pressure component 10 and defines two limit positions of the suction cup in the negative pressure component 10. The controller sends an adsorption trigger signal to the negative pressure component 10 based on external signals such as the material trough position of the feeding conveyor 2 and the feeding timing of the sprocket drive component 4. Upon receiving the signal, the negative pressure component 10 starts the negative pressure pump to generate negative pressure, which then adsorbs the single badge at the replenishment channel 15 through the suction cup, completing the product adsorption and synchronizing the adsorption action with the overall operation. The hairpin crank structure 14 consists of a crank, connecting rod, and slider. The motor drives the crank to rotate, and the crank drives the slider to reciprocate linearly or oscillate via the connecting rod. The slider is connected to the negative pressure component 10, thereby driving the negative pressure component 10 to reciprocate along a set trajectory and stroke, achieving precise movement of the negative pressure component 10 between the adsorption position and the feeding position. The negative pressure component 10 is connected to the end of the hairpin crank structure 14 via a rotating connector. The rotating connector can rotate within a preset angle range. When the negative pressure component 10 moves to the adsorption position with the hairpin crank structure 14, the negative pressure component 10 automatically rotates to an adsorption angle that aligns with the badge in the feeding channel 15. When it moves to the unloading position, the negative pressure component 10 rotates again to the unloading angle corresponding to the material trough, completing the angle adaptive adjustment. Through the precise design of structural parameters such as the crank length and connecting rod stroke of the hairpin crank structure 14, the end travel of the hairpin crank structure 14 is limited from a mechanical structure perspective, thereby limiting the movement range of the suction cup of the connected negative pressure component 10. This ensures that the movement of the suction cup can only occur between the two extreme positions: the adsorption position of the feeding channel 15 and the unloading position of the unloading conveying mechanism 2, thus achieving mechanical limitation of the travel.

[0049] The negative pressure component 10 is fixed to a rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to the end of the hairpin crank structure 14 and fixed to another crank rod. This shaft is used to rotate the suction cup from the feeding channel 15 to the unloading conveyor mechanism 2. The negative pressure component 10 is rigidly fixed to one end of the rotating shaft, which provides a fixed axis of rotation for the negative pressure component 10. When the rotating shaft rotates around its own axis under external force, it drives the negative pressure component 10 fixed to it to rotate synchronously, thus adjusting the angle of the negative pressure component 10. The rotation angle of the rotating shaft determines the adjustment angle of the negative pressure component 10. A bearing seat is provided at the end of the hairpin crank structure 14. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bearing seat via the bearing. The bearing provides support for the rotation of the rotating shaft and reduces rotational friction, allowing the rotating shaft to rotate flexibly around its own axis. Simultaneously, the bearing seat provides axial and radial positioning for the rotating shaft, ensuring that the rotating shaft does not shift during movement with the hairpin crank structure 14, thus achieving connection stability. One end of the crank is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the drive motor or linkage mechanism. When the drive motor drives the crank to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft, the crank drives the rotating shaft to rotate synchronously, and the rotating shaft then drives the negative pressure component 10 fixed on it to rotate. By controlling the rotation angle of the crank, the rotation angle of the negative pressure component 10 is precisely controlled, realizing the automatic switching of the adsorption and feeding angles. After the suction cup adsorbs the badge at the feeding channel 15, the hairpin crank structure 14 drives the rotating shaft and the negative pressure component 10 to move towards the feeding conveying mechanism 2. At the same time, another crank drives the rotating shaft to rotate, driving the suction cup to rotate synchronously, so that the suction cup always maintains stable adsorption of the badge during the movement. When it reaches the top of the material trough of the feeding conveying mechanism 2, the suction cup rotates to the preset placement angle, and then releases the negative pressure to accurately place the badge into the material trough, completing the entire transfer process.

[0050] A feeding sensor 7 is installed next to the negative pressure component 10, aligned with the negative pressure adsorption end of the negative pressure component 10. The feeding sensor 7 uses a photoelectric sensor or a vision sensor, installed beside the negative pressure component 10 and aligned with the adsorption end. When the negative pressure component 10 moves to the adsorption position, the sensor detects whether a single badge is adsorbed; when the negative pressure component 10 moves to the feeding position, the sensor detects whether the negative pressure component 10 is precisely aligned with the material trough. Only when a single badge is successfully adsorbed and accurately positioned is detected will the sensor send a feeding trigger signal to control the negative pressure component 10 to release the badge. The detection end of the feeding sensor 7 is aligned with the negative pressure adsorption end (suction cup) of the negative pressure component 10 at a preset angle and spacing, ensuring that the sensor's detection range completely covers the adsorption area of ​​the suction cup. When the suction cup adsorbs a badge, the sensor can accurately identify the badge on the suction cup; when the suction cup moves to the feeding position, the sensor can accurately detect the relative position of the suction cup and the material trough, achieving precise detection of the state and position of the adsorption end.

[0051] Combined with appendix Figure 5The material feeding and conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying guide rail 16 and a material feeding and conveying frame 17, with the conveying guide rail 16 cooperating with the card issuing frame 12. The material feeding and conveying frame 17 adopts a rigid structure of welded or bolted steel to fix and position components such as the conveying guide rail 16, drive motor, and rollers, ensuring the installation accuracy of each component. The conveying guide rail 16 is set on both sides of the conveyor belt, limiting and guiding the edge of the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt, driven by the drive motor, makes a smooth cyclical movement along the set trajectory of the conveying guide rail 16, achieving precise material feeding. Both the conveying guide rail 16 and the card issuing frame 12 are set with precise positioning references. During equipment assembly, the card issuing frame 12 is fixed in the preset position of the conveying guide rail 16 with reference to the positioning references, so that the feeding port of the card issuing mechanism 3 is precisely aligned with the moving trajectory of the material trough on the conveying guide rail 16. When the material feeding and conveying mechanism 2 moves the material trough to below the card issuing mechanism 3, the material trough can be precisely aligned with the feeding port, achieving precise feeding.

[0052] The displacement component 11 is a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic cylinder is connected to the pneumatic control system via an air pipe. When it receives a movement signal from the controller, the pneumatic control system supplies air to the rodless or rod chamber of the cylinder, pushing the piston rod of the cylinder to perform a linear telescopic movement. The end of the piston rod is connected to the negative pressure component 10, thereby driving the negative pressure component 10 to perform a linear reciprocating movement. By adjusting the stroke limit device of the cylinder, the telescopic stroke of the piston rod can be precisely limited, thereby achieving precise control of the movement stroke of the negative pressure component 10.

[0053] The adsorption action of the negative pressure component 10 is linked to the material feeding timing signal of the sprocket drive component 4. The sprocket drive component 4 transmits the detected material feeding timing signal to the main controller of the equipment in real time. According to the signal, the controller sends an adsorption trigger signal to the negative pressure component 10 in a preset sequence, so that the adsorption action of the negative pressure component 10 is synchronized with the material handling and dispensing action of the isolation conveyor mechanism 1. When the isolation conveyor mechanism 1 completes the material handling and dispensing of a set of products, the negative pressure component 10 also simultaneously completes the adsorption of the corresponding badge, realizing the linkage and coordination of the actions of each mechanism.

[0054] The blocking mechanism 5 includes a barrier net connected to a cylinder for lifting and lowering. The barrier net is located above the badge conveyor line 6, and a controller is connected to the blocking mechanism 5. The barrier net is woven from metal or plastic wire and has a certain degree of elasticity and rigidity. When messy badges are conveyed to the blocking mechanism 5, the barrier net blocks them, causing the badges to align neatly according to a set posture under the blocking action of the barrier net. After the sorting is completed, the barrier net rises, and the neatly arranged badges pass under the barrier net into the badge conveyor line 6. The two sides of the barrier net are connected to the piston rod ends of the cylinder. The cylinder is fixed on the frame of the isolation conveyor mechanism 1. When a sorting signal is received from the sprocket drive assembly 4, the piston rod of the cylinder extends, pushing the barrier net down to the blocking position above the badge conveyor line 6 to sort the badges. When a release signal is received, the piston rod of the cylinder retracts, driving the barrier net up to the release position, allowing the sorted badges to pass. The barrier is installed at a preset height directly above the badge conveyor line 6. Its installation height and width match the conveying width of the badge conveyor line 6. When the barrier descends, the gap between its lower end face and the conveying surface of the badge conveyor line 6 allows only a single badge to pass through in a set posture, effectively blocking and sorting out messy badges. When the barrier rises, its lower end face is higher than the maximum height of the badges, so it will not obstruct the conveying of badges. The cylinder of the blocking mechanism 5 is electrically connected to the controller via a solenoid valve. After receiving the feeding timing signal transmitted by the sprocket drive assembly 4, the controller sends an electrical signal to the solenoid valve according to the preset control program to control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve, thereby controlling the air supply and exhaust of the cylinder, realizing the extension and retraction movement of the cylinder piston rod, driving the barrier to complete the lifting and lowering action, and realizing the automated control of the blocking mechanism 5.

[0055] The isolation conveyor mechanism 1, the unloading conveyor mechanism 2, and the card issuing mechanism 3 are all connected to the controller. The controller adopts a PLC or single-chip microcomputer control system. All execution and detection components, such as the sprocket drive assembly 4 and blocking mechanism 5 of the isolation conveyor mechanism 1, the drive motor and unloading sensor 7 of the unloading conveyor mechanism 2, and the replenishment sensor 8, negative pressure assembly 10, and displacement assembly 11 of the card issuing mechanism 3, are electrically connected to the controller. The controller receives the detection signals from each sensor and sends precise control signals to each execution component according to the preset ratio parameters and operating procedures, so that each mechanism can work together in a set sequence to complete the automated ratio and unloading of badges. At the same time, the operator can adjust the ratio parameters, operating speed, and other indicators in real time through the controller's operating interface to achieve flexible control of the equipment.

This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
