[0002] When labeling traditional environmentally friendly food containers (such as plastic disposable fast food boxes, etc.), it is usually necessary to first place the label at a set position in the mold cavity, and then perform the molding operation (injection molding, etc.) of the environmentally friendly food container. In this way, two manipulators are usually required to cooperate to complete the operation. One of the manipulators is used to place the label, that is, to place the label at a set position in the mold, and the other manipulator is used to suck the disposable fast food box. In this way, the entire equipment is not streamlined enough, and the operating efficiency needs to be further improved.

[0003] In view of this, the inventor of this case conducted in-depth research, which resulted in the creation of this case. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0007] A first air passage is provided inside the shaft wall of the rotating shaft, and the pickup suction head and the labeling suction head are respectively connected to the first air passage.

[0008] Furthermore, the labeling part is provided with a mounting plate, the labeling nozzle and the electrostatic needle are arranged on the mounting plate, a second air duct is opened on the mounting plate, the second air duct is connected to the first air duct, and the second air duct is connected to the labeling nozzle.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of the first air channels is two, one of which is connected to the pickup nozzle via an air channel hose, and the other is connected to the second air channel via another air channel hose; the first air channel is connected to the air distribution chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, the electrostatic needle is connected to an electrostatic generator.

[0011] Furthermore, the picking part is provided with at least two picking heads, each of which corresponds to each forming station respectively, and the labeling part is provided with at least two labeling heads and two electrostatic needles, each of which corresponds to the set position of the mold cavity of each forming station respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the same-surface picking and labeling robot also includes a second robot, the second robot has the same structure as the first robot and is arranged in parallel, and the second robot includes a second robot arm.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating shaft of the first robotic arm is installed on a first bearing seat, and the rotating shaft of the second robotic arm is installed on a second bearing seat. The rotating shaft of the first robotic arm and the rotating shaft of the second robotic arm are jointly equipped with a driving device, and the driving device is connected to the rotating shaft of the first robotic arm and the rotating shaft of the second robotic arm through a transmission mechanism.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the utility model of a same-side picking and labeling robot for environmentally friendly food containers has the following beneficial effects: the picking part and the labeling part are set on one robot at the same time. Compared with the traditional technology of two robots performing picking or labeling operations separately, the equipment structure of the utility model is more streamlined; and a rotating shaft is set, so that after the picking part completes the picking operation, the label sucked by the labeling suction head can be placed at a set position in the mold cavity by rotating the rotating shaft, that is, the same-side picking and labeling are realized. And the picking and labeling (label placement) operations are closely connected, and the continuity of the operation is better.

[0015] When taking the label, first use the labeling suction head to suck the label in the label storage bin, and then move the labeling suction head of the robot to the position of the mold cavity on the corresponding forming station. When placing the label (labeling), the electrostatic needle will produce electrostatic effect, so that the label will be charged, so that the label can be adsorbed and fixed at the set position in the mold cavity, and then stop the vacuum adsorption of the label by the labeling suction head, then the labeling part is separated from the label, the robot retreats, and the next label taking operation is carried out.

[0016] A first air channel is provided inside the shaft wall of the rotating shaft of the first robot arm, so as to avoid the problem of wire entanglement in the connecting air pipe when the rotating shaft rotates.

[0017] Setting up a double-arm manipulator and using one drive device can save equipment costs and improve the efficiency of the manipulator operation. For example, the double-arm manipulator can work synchronously each time. Each arm can also be equipped with a corresponding number of pickup nozzles and labeling nozzles as needed to cooperate with more forming stations and improve operating efficiency.
