The control button 111 is pressed manually, and the plate chain conveyor line conveys two chain plates forward to the labeling station. The label peeling mechanism automatically peels off two labels, and the labeling robot arm 13 is located at the origin position and waits. The camera mechanism 12 takes pictures of the two springs, takes pictures, calculates the labeling position coordinates, and sends them to the control mechanism. The control mechanism sends it to the labeling robot arm 13, and the labeling robot arm 13 moves to the target position for labeling according to the coordinate position of the spring to be labeled provided by the control mechanism. After the labeling is completed, the labeling robot arm 13 returns and absorbs the label on the label peeling mechanism. After the labeling is completed, the spring is driven by the plate chain conveyor line to convey two chain plates forward to the detection position. The detection mechanism 14 takes pictures of the spring after the labeling is completed, takes pictures, and determines whether the spring label has been pasted through the control mechanism, and uploads the detection result. After the inspection is completed, the plate chain conveyor line conveys two chain plates forward to the unloading station. After the grating (sensor) detects that the spring is in place, the control mechanism outputs the qualified (OK) or unqualified (NG) result according to the inspection result of the previous process. The indicator light corresponding to each spring lights up according to the inspection result (green light indicates OK, red light indicates NG), and the buzzer alarms synchronously when the NG result appears. The operator can unload the material through the unloading robot arm and place the OK or NG products in the corresponding material frame according to the system prompts.
[0054] The spring labeling device 10 provided in the present application can accurately label automobile springs, improve labeling quality, and avoid manual labeling omissions, so as to enable the entire production line to be automated, improve efficiency, and reduce labor.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned implementation modes, a person of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned implementation modes can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents.
