[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment of the invention, a horizontal vision positioning labeling machine includes a worktable 1. Support frames 2 are vertically arranged at both ends of one side of the worktable 1, and a carrier assembly line 3 is horizontally arranged above the support frames 2. The carrier assembly line 3 is parallel to the worktable 1 and allows for horizontal transport of products to be labeled. A clamping and positioning mechanism for the products to be labeled is provided on one side of the carrier assembly line 3. Feeder mechanisms for delivering label paper are arranged on both sides below the support frames 2, and each feeder mechanism is horizontally located on one side above the worktable 1. A labeling mechanism for picking up and placing the delivered label paper is provided on one side of each feeder mechanism. The labeling mechanism can absorb and pick up the label paper delivered by the feeder mechanism, transfer it to the side of the carrier assembly line 3, and affix the label paper to the product clamped and positioned on the carrier assembly line 3 by the clamping and positioning mechanism, thereby completing the labeling of the product. Above the feeding mechanism is a label paper positioning mechanism that positions the label paper transported by the labeling mechanism. On one side of the labeling mechanism is a product positioning mechanism that positions the product held and positioned on the carrier assembly line 3 by the clamping and positioning mechanism. When the carrier assembly line 3 transports the product to be labeled to the labeling area, the clamping and positioning mechanism clamps and limits the product, and then positions it by taking a picture. Simultaneously, the labeling mechanism moves to the feeding mechanism, picks up the label paper transported by the feeding mechanism, and moves to the label paper positioning mechanism for label coordinate positioning. Then, the labeling mechanism transfers and affixes the determined label paper to the product according to the product coordinates provided by the product positioning mechanism, thus completing the labeling process. After labeling, the clamping and positioning mechanism releases the product, and the carrier assembly line 2 continues to move the labeled product and transports the next product to be labeled to the clamping and positioning mechanism.
[0027] The clamping and positioning mechanism includes double-headed cylinders 34 that are vertically and equidistantly distributed on one side of the carrier assembly line 3. Each of the upper and lower driving ends of the double-headed cylinders 34 is equipped with a gripper 35. The double-headed cylinders 34 drive the gripper 35 to open and close at the upper and lower ends on one side of the carrier assembly line 3. Thus, when the carrier assembly line 3 transfers the products to be labeled one by one to the labeling position, the double-headed cylinders 34 at the labeling position drive the gripper 35, which is in the open and closed state, to close and clamp and position the products to be labeled, preventing the products from being misaligned during the labeling process.
[0028] The labeling mechanism includes a first linear drive module 10 located away from and positioned on one side of the carrier assembly line 3, and there are at least two first linear drive modules 10. A second linear drive module 21 is laterally arranged on one side of the first linear drive module 10, and the second linear drive module 21 moves up and down on one side of the first linear drive module 10. A third linear drive module 22 is laterally arranged on one side above the second linear drive module 21, and moves up and down synchronously with it. A fourth linear drive module 23 is laterally arranged above the third linear drive module 22. A first motor 24 is arranged above the fourth linear drive module 23, and moves back and forth with it. Furthermore, the drive end of the first motor 24 is equipped with a suction cup 25 for adsorbing and gripping the label paper. When the clamping and positioning mechanism clamps and limits the product to be labeled, and after the product positioning mechanism takes a picture for positioning, the first linear drive module 10 drives the second linear drive module 21, along with the third linear drive module 22, the fourth linear drive module 23, the first motor 24, and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, downwards to the feeder mechanism and stops operating. At this time, the third linear drive module 22 drives the fourth linear drive module 23, along with the first motor 24 and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, to move to the feeder mechanism. The fourth linear drive module 23, along with the first motor 24 and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, moves to the feeder feeding mechanism and causes the suction cup 25 to pick up the label paper at the feeder feeding mechanism. After the label paper is picked up, the fourth linear drive module 23, along with the first motor 24 and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, resets. At the same time, the second linear drive module 21, along with the third linear drive module 22, the fourth linear drive module 23, the first motor 24, and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, moves downward to the label paper positioning mechanism to perform label coordinate positioning on the label paper picked up by the suction cup 25, thereby aligning it with the product positioning mechanism. When the product coordinates are compared with the label coordinates, the first motor 24 does not need to drive the suction cup 25 to rotate the label. Instead, the first linear drive module 10 drives the second linear drive module 21, along with the third linear drive module 22, the fourth linear drive module 23, the first motor 24, and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, to move upwards to the opposite side of the product to be labeled. At this time, the fourth linear drive module 23, along with the first motor 24 and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, moves to the opposite side of the product and sticks the label paper adsorbed by the suction cup 25 onto the product, thus completing the labeling process.
[0029] When the product coordinates are compared with those of the product positioning mechanism, and the product position coordinates are different from the label coordinates, the first motor 24 drives the suction cup 25 to rotate the label until the product position coordinates are the same as the label coordinates. Then, the first linear drive module 10 drives the second linear drive module 21, along with the third linear drive module 22, the fourth linear drive module 23, the first motor 24, and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, to move upwards to the position directly opposite the product to be labeled. At this time, the fourth linear drive module 23, along with the first motor 24 and the suction cup 25 located at the drive end of the first motor 24, moves to the position directly opposite the product and sticks the label paper adsorbed by the suction cup 25 onto the product, thereby completing the labeling work.
[0030] A fifth linear drive module 27 is disposed between the first linear drive module 10 and the second linear drive module 21. The fifth linear drive module 27 is vertically movable inside the first linear drive module 10, and the fifth linear drive module 27 and the second linear drive module 21 move in the same direction. A second cylinder 26 is disposed between the fifth linear drive module 27 and the first linear drive module 10. The second cylinder 26 is vertically located at the upper end of the first linear drive module 10, and the driving end of the second cylinder 26 is connected to the fifth linear drive module 27. Thus, when the fifth linear drive module 27 moves up and down inside the first linear drive module 10, the second linear drive module 21 moves up and down on the outer side of the first linear drive module 10.
[0031] A second motor 28 is provided between the second linear drive module 21 and the third linear drive module 22. The second motor 28 is located laterally on the other side above the second linear drive module 21. The drive end of the second motor 28 is connected to a transmission screw 29 that drives the third linear drive module 22. Thus, through the cooperation between the second motor 28 and the transmission screw 29, the third linear drive module 22, along with the fourth linear drive module 23, is driven to move horizontally back and forth on the third linear drive module 22.
[0032] A second mounting base 32 is provided between the third linear drive module 23 and the first motor 24. The second mounting base 32 is laterally movably mounted on the third linear drive module 23, and the first motor 24 is laterally mounted on the second mounting base 32. A third motor 30 is provided between the second mounting base 32 and the third linear drive module 23. The third motor 30 is vertically located on one side below the third linear drive module 23. The third motor 30 drives a transmission belt 31 connected to the second mounting base 32. The second mounting base 32 is also covered with a first protective shell 4 to protect the first motor 24. Thus, through the cooperation between the third motor 30 and the transmission belt 31, the second mounting base 32, together with the first motor 24 and the suction cup 25, moves back and forth on the third linear drive module 23 so that the label adsorbed by the suction cup 25 can be attached to the product.
[0033] The feeder feeding mechanism includes feeders 9 horizontally arranged on both sides below the support frame 2. A label unwinding roller 6 and a bottom film winding roller 7 are rotatably mounted at both ends of one end of the feeder 9. A label positioning mechanism is located above the feeder 9. Label paper 13 is wound on the label unwinding roller 6. A first mounting base 17 is provided between the feeder 9 and the peeling blade 18, and the first mounting base 17 is located on the front side of the feeder 9. The peeling blade 18 is horizontally mounted on the first mounting base 17. A peeling blade 18 for peeling the label paper delivered by the label unwinding roller 6 is provided on the front side of the feeder 9. A second mounting frame 14 is horizontally arranged at the end away from the peeling blade 18. A first cylinder 16 is provided on the front side of the second mounting frame 14, and the first cylinder 16 drives a pressure plate 15 that moves back and forth inside the second mounting frame 14. The cooperation between the first cylinder 16 and the pressure plate 15 transports the label paper released from the label paper unwinding roller 6 in segments. After the label paper is rolled out by the label paper unwinding roller 6, it passes through the second mounting frame 14 and enters the feeder 9 from the edge of the peeling knife 18. Then it exits from the feeder 9 and is wound and connected with the bottom film winding roller 7. The peeling knife 18 can separate the label paper from the bottom film one by one. The separated label paper is adsorbed and grabbed by the labeling mechanism. Then the remaining bottom film is wound and wound up by the rotation of the bottom film winding roller 7.
[0034] The label positioning mechanism includes a first mounting frame 11 located on one side above the feeder 9, and a first camera component 19 for taking coordinate photos of the label is provided on one side above the first mounting frame 11. A second light source 12 for illuminating the label is provided on the side facing forward of the first camera component 19, so that the first camera component 19 can take more accurate photos of the label gripped by the labeling mechanism.
[0035] The product positioning mechanism includes a second protective shell 5 disposed on one side of the labeling mechanism, and a second camera component 20 for image coordinate positioning of the product to be labeled is disposed inside the second protective shell 5. The product positioning mechanism also includes a third mounting base 33 disposed on the other side of the carrier assembly line 3, and a first light source 8 disposed on the front side of the third mounting base 33 facing the second camera component 20 and illuminating the product, thereby making the second camera component 20 more accurate in taking pictures and positioning the product to be labeled.
[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
