[0036] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front or back, etc., are only the directions of the reference drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are used to illustrate and not to limit the present invention. In addition, in all embodiments, the same reference numerals represent the same elements.

[0037] The applicant has found through actual use that the existing automatic label application equipment is mainly divided into three types in terms of labeling function. The first type is a flat labeling device, which is only suitable for labeling on the top surface of the product and cannot meet the multi-sided labeling requirements of this project; the second type is a side labeling device, which is mainly used for labeling on both sides of the equipment, but cannot identify the product style and select the correct label for attachment, so it does not meet the requirements of this project; the third type is a circular labeling device, which is mainly for the labeling needs of bottled products and does not meet the labeling needs of square products.

[0038] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an automatic label applying device.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , an automatic label applying device, comprising:

[0040] A conveyor line 600, a rotating seat 500 slidably connected to the conveyor line 600, and the rotating seat 500 is used to load objects;

[0041] A plurality of labeling stations are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying line 600 to label the objects on the rotating seat 500; the labeling station includes a label supply mechanism 701, a label stripping mechanism 702, a labeling mechanism 703 and a label receiving mechanism 705. The label supply mechanism 701 is used to supply the label tape. The label tape passes through the label stripping mechanism 703, and the label on the label tape is separated from the bottom tape. The label is conveyed to the labeling mechanism 702 while being separated. When the label is completely separated from the bottom tape, the labeling mechanism 702 starts to absorb the label and attaches the label to the surface of the object. The label receiving mechanism 705 is used to reel up the bottom tape.

[0042] The first transmission mechanism 101 is provided at the feeding end of the conveyor line 600, and the first transmission mechanism 101 is used to transport objects to the conveyor line 600;

[0043] The second transmission mechanism 102 is disposed at the discharge end of the conveyor line 600, and the second transmission mechanism 102 is used to transport the object to be discharged;

[0044] The control mechanism 400 receives the coordinate information of the rotating seat 500, calculates the label application time according to the coordinate information, and controls the labeling station to label the object.

[0045] The automatic label sticking device provided by the utility model can identify the style of an object, select a correct label, and implement accurate sticking on multiple surfaces of the object.

[0046] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the rotating seat 500 includes a rotating platform 501 and a slider 502 connected to the bottom of the rotating platform 501, and the slider 502 slides along the conveyor line 600, wherein the rotating platform 501 is driven by a motor to achieve automatic angle adjustment. The conveyor line 600 is a slide rail, and the slider 502 is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first transmission mechanism 101 and the second transmission mechanism 102 are both horizontal belt conveyors. Specifically, the structure of the horizontal belt conveyor mainly includes the following parts: the belt part is the core component of the conveyor, which is responsible for carrying materials and completing the conveying task. It is usually composed of multiple layers of fabric layers and rubber layers, and has high tensile strength and wear resistance; the driving device is used for the power input of the conveyor. Common driving devices include electric rollers, hydraulic drives and motor drives, etc. They realize the conveying of materials by driving the rotation of the belt, and are selected and adjusted by technicians in this field according to needs; the supporting part includes rollers, roller racks and brackets, etc., wherein the bracket is used to support the overall structure of the conveyor and ensure its stability, and the rollers and roller racks are used to support the belt part. The rollers can be smooth, convex or corrugated to meet different conveying requirements. In addition, it can also include guiding devices such as guide rails, rollers and rollers, etc., to ensure the correct flow and positioning of materials during the conveying process; the tension device is used to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt and maintain the appropriate tension. It is usually composed of a tensioning roller, a tensioning device and a lagging roller.

[0048] The first transmission mechanism 101, the second transmission mechanism 102 and the conveying line 600 are arranged in a straight line, which is convenient for transporting objects.

[0049] In this embodiment, there are four labeling stations, which are defined as the first labeling station 201, the second labeling station 202, the third labeling station 203 and the fourth labeling station 204 for the convenience of description. The first labeling station 201 and the second labeling station 202 are arranged on one side of the conveyor line 600, and the third labeling station 203 and the fourth labeling station 204 are arranged on the other side of the conveyor line 600, and the first labeling station 201 and the third labeling station 203 are located opposite to each other, and the second labeling station 202 and the fourth labeling station 204 are located opposite to each other.

[0050] like Figure 4As shown, the label supply mechanism 701 includes a rotatable first guide roller, and the label tape is wound around the first guide roller. The labeling mechanism 702 includes a driving source 7021 and a label suction head 7022 connected to the action end of the driving source 7021. The driving source 7021 drives the label suction head 7022 to approach the object, and the label suction head 7022 provides vacuum suction to absorb the label. The label receiving mechanism 705 includes a rotatable second guide roller, and the bottom tape is wound around the second guide roller.

[0051] Furthermore, the labeling station also includes an object measuring sensor 706 disposed between the labeling mechanism 702 and the label stripping mechanism 703 .

[0052] In some possible embodiments, the labeling station further includes a transition roller 704 disposed between the labeling mechanism 702 and the label receiving mechanism 705 . The bottom belt is firstly arranged by the transition roller 704 and then wound on the second guide roller of the label receiving mechanism 705 .

[0053] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the automatic label application device also includes a feeding mechanism 301 and a feeding mechanism 302, the feeding mechanism 301 is arranged at the first transmission mechanism 101, and the feeding mechanism 302 is arranged at the second transmission mechanism 102. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 301 and the feeding mechanism 302 are both multi-axis mechanical arms, and the free end manipulator of the multi-axis mechanical arm is provided with a camera (not shown in the figure), and the camera recognizes the object and transmits the posture information to the control mechanism 400. Among them, the signal transmission relationship of the control part is as follows: the feeding mechanism 301, the feeding mechanism 302 and the camera are respectively connected to the control mechanism 400 through a network cable and a serial port, and the control mechanism 400 can read the running status and posture of the feeding mechanism 301 and the feeding mechanism 302, and obtain the video and image information captured by the camera; in this embodiment, the control mechanism 400 can also be connected to the host computer through a network cable to send data to the database and the server.

[0054] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0055] After the robotic arm of the loading mechanism 301 places the object on the first transmission mechanism 101, the camera of the loading mechanism 301 sends the identified object model to the control mechanism 400, and the rotating seat 500 on the conveyor line 600 moves to the corresponding position to receive the object.

[0056] After the object measuring sensor 706 of the first labeling station 201 detects that the object has arrived at the first labeling station 201, the rotating seat 500 stops moving along the conveyor line 600, and the rotating seat 500 rotates a specified angle. At the same time, the control mechanism 400 calculates the time of label application according to the coordinate information of the rotating seat 500, and controls the first labeling station 201 and the third labeling station 203 to label the object on the rotating seat 500.

[0057] Since two labeling stations are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor line 600 in this embodiment, that is, the first labeling station 201 and the second labeling station 202 are arranged on one side of the conveyor line 600, and the third labeling station 203 and the fourth labeling station 204 are arranged on the other side of the conveyor line 600, a total of four labeling operations as described above need to be performed on the same object to be labeled.

[0058] After the labeling operation is completed, the conveyor line 600 transports the object to the second transmission mechanism 102, and the robot arm of the unloading mechanism 302 grabs the object and transports it to the next production line.

[0059] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
