Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical structures, in particular to a sign output device and automatic marking equipment thereof. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, an example of an automatic label hanging device is shown. Taking the label hanging on the high-line finished product coil 6 as an example, the coil needs to be installed on the support mechanism 3 surrounded by the safety fence 5 before leaving the factory. The MES system transmits the information to be identified to the label output device 4, and the PLC receives the information to be identified from the industrial computer (or secondary system), that is, the string signal to be identified. After processing this signal, the label and welding nails with the label are sent to the position to be picked up. The transfer device 1, such as a six-axis robot, can drive the welding device 2 to pick up the label and welding nails, and then move them to the welding position of the coil 6 to complete the automatic welding process of the label.

[0003] However, when the label output device 4 outputs the label, the label output posture is often unstable due to angle problems, and the welding device 2 cannot accurately pick up the label. Therefore, how to improve its structure is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Utility Model Content

The transfer device 1, welding device 2, support device 3 and the label output device 4 of the utility model are integrated into one, and they cooperate with each other to form a complete system. For example, taking the automatic identification process of the high-line finished coil as an example, after the weighing is completed, it is sent to the support device 3 of the automatic identification device of the utility model. At the same time, the MES system transmits the information to be identified to the label output device 4, and the PLC receives the information to be identified from the industrial computer (or the secondary system), that is, the string signal to be identified. After processing this signal, the label and welding nail with the label are sent to the position to be picked up. The transfer device 1, such as a six-axis robot, can drive the welding device 2 to pick up the label and welding nail, and then move it to the position to be welded of the coil to complete the automatic welding process of the label. No manual operation is required, and it can replace manual hanging or welding, which reduces the labor intensity of the operator and stays away from the dangerous area on site. At the same time, it can improve the efficiency and quality of hanging.

[0063] It is worth noting that the key of the utility model is to provide an automatic identification device for coils, the core of which is the mechanical structure and position layout of each device module, and the focus is on providing an improved label output device. The specific moving position, path and other control methods of the transfer device, the specific printing method of the printing component, etc., can adopt any control method of the existing technology and be implemented through PLC, established programs, etc., which will not be repeated here.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0065] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
