[0032] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1The marking device suitable for pallet assembly shipment includes a carrying platform 1, which is different in that: a printing device 2 is arranged on the carrying platform 1, which is used to print the corresponding label according to the currently shipped pallet assembly. The label content can display the size of the pallet, the applicable product, the stacking quantity and other technical parameters as needed, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing equipment to stack and package the pallet assembly according to the label content. At the same time, the printing device 2 is provided with a visual recognition device 3, which can identify the current pallet assembly, so as to provide the corresponding pallet information to the printing device 2, and the printing device 2 extracts the pallet information and prints the label. Considering the convenience of obtaining labels by operating devices such as external mechanical arms, and docking according to the label outlet of the printing device 2, the carrying platform 1 is provided with an adaptive label taking device at the material outlet of the printing device 2. Specifically, the adaptive label taking device includes a Z-axis adjustment device 4 arranged on one side of the carrying platform 1, a Y-axis adjustment device 5 is arranged on the Z-axis adjustment device 4, an X-axis adjustment device 6 is arranged on the Y-axis adjustment device 5, and a lifting and taking device is arranged on the X-axis adjustment device 6. Thus, the adjustment in the three-axis direction can be satisfied. During implementation, the above-mentioned various adjustment devices can be connected to the overall control system of the pallet processing assembly to facilitate the coordination of the position of the peripheral robot arm and achieve smooth label removal.

[0034] In view of a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of limiting fixed blocks 7 are arranged on the carrying platform 1, and the limiting fixed blocks 7 are connected to the carrying platform 1 through limiting screws. A limiting space is formed between the limiting blocks, and the bottom of the printing device 2 is arranged in the limiting space. In this way, it can adapt to different models of printing devices 2 and achieve their stable placement. In addition, an L-shaped card block can be selected to form the limiting fixed block 7, and it can be arranged outside the corners of the printing device 2 to achieve effective limiting.

[0035] Furthermore, the printing device 2 used is a laser printer, and the paper box configured by the laser printer is provided with label paper, which is ordinary paper or adhesive paper. In this way, for the pallet assembly in a non-final packaging state, the label paper is placed on the pallet assembly by an external robotic arm, and flows into the next station for corresponding labeling, without the need for secondary printing for labeling. If it is a pallet assembly that is already in the bag packaging stage, the adhesive paper can be obtained through an external labeling device and then attached to the outside of the packaging bag for marking and annotation. In addition, if it is only necessary to place it in the bag or temporarily mark it on the pallet assembly, ordinary paper can be used for the label paper. In other words, the type of label paper can be replaced according to demand during implementation. At the same time, multiple paper boxes can be configured for the laser printer to directly switch the corresponding label paper category according to current needs.

[0036] In view of the actual implementation, the visual recognition device 3 includes a device body connected to the printing port of the printing device 2, an image analysis component is arranged in the device body, a framing component 8 is installed on the device body, and the framing component 8 is connected to the image analysis component. In this way, the tray component to be fed in can be photographed, and the corresponding parameters of the current tray component can be obtained through the image analysis component after the corresponding image is obtained. During the implementation, the image analysis component is an industrial computer or an integrated PC, which can cooperate with the pre-entered program and corresponding information to quickly analyze and identify the current image, obtain the tray component information of the corresponding image, and export the content to be printed to the printing device 2. In order to obtain a clear image, the framing component 8 is a CCD component. Furthermore, considering the convenience of parameter adjustment and information entry, a control module 9 can be arranged on the device body, and the control module 9 is connected to the image analysis component. Specifically, the control module 9 is a plurality of membrane buttons, which can avoid the intrusion of external foreign matter and improve the service life. At the same time, the control module 9 also includes a display module 10, and the display module 10 is an LED screen. In this way, the user can intuitively operate and input the corresponding parameters, and read them in a disorderly manner through the background of the tray component processing equipment, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0037] Going further, the Z-axis adjustment device 4, the Y-axis adjustment device 5, and the X-axis adjustment device 6 are all linear motors, and suitable commercially available products can be selected to reduce research and development costs. At the same time, in order to meet the integrated configuration, the Z-axis adjustment device 4, the Y-axis adjustment device 5, and the X-axis adjustment device 6 are combined by connecting screws. In this way, the free travel of the Z-axis adjustment device 4, the Y-axis adjustment device 5, and the X-axis adjustment device 6 is not restricted, and a stable stacking combination from bottom to top can be achieved. During use, after the label paper is printed, it can be docked at the label outlet. After obtaining the label paper, it can be sent to the material picking range of an external robotic arm or other equipment involved in the label paper placement to achieve effective process docking.

[0038] During the implementation, the lifting and picking device includes a lifting bracket 11, and a label placing platform 12 is arranged on the lifting bracket 11. In this way, the travel distance of the Z-axis adjustment device 4 between the label papers can be reduced. At the same time, in order to prevent the label paper from accidentally falling off after being blown by the air flow during the material discharging and picking, because the label paper is too thin and light, the label placing platform 12 includes a platform body, and a plurality of air guide grooves are arranged on the platform body. A vacuum pump 13 is arranged below the air guide grooves. In this way, a certain downward air pressure can be provided to properly adsorb and position the label paper for easy use.

[0039] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0040] Embodiment 1: single tray feeding.

[0041] The tray assembly delivered by the external feeding device enters the viewing range of the visual recognition device 3 and is photographed accordingly. After the visual recognition device 3 processes and identifies the model and stackable quantity of the current tray assembly, the corresponding printing information is pushed to the printing device 2. Afterwards, the printing device 2 prints the corresponding label paper.

[0042] Then, the adaptive label picking device takes the label paper and sends it to the operating range of the external robot arm. The external robot arm places the label paper in the designated area of ​​the tray assembly and sends it to the next process.

[0043] Embodiment 2: multiple trays of pre-packaged materials are fed.

[0044] The tray assembly delivered by the external feeding device is already in a stacked state and is located in a packaging bag. (The packaging bag is made of transparent material and does not affect the framing of the visual recognition device 3)

[0045] Next, the visual recognition device 3 obtains the image of the current pallet assembly, and analyzes and obtains information such as the stacking quantity and pallet type.

[0046] After the printing device 2 obtains the corresponding information, it prints it on the adhesive paper. After the self-adaptive labeling device receives the adhesive paper, it is sent to the working range of the corresponding labeling device. The labeling device affixes the adhesive paper to the packaging bag.

[0047] It can be seen from the above text description and the accompanying drawings that the following advantages are achieved after adopting the utility model:

[0048] 1. It can realize visual recognition of the current shape of the pallet component and obtain the corresponding pallet parameters without manual separate entry, which improves the information acquisition rate in the early stage of marking.

[0049] 2. The printing equipment can print ordinary label paper or adhesive stickers according to needs to meet different marking requirements.

[0050] 3. The adaptive label picking device is a three-axis configuration, which can effectively connect the printing equipment and the external robotic arm without manual intervention, thus improving the processing efficiency.

[0051] 4. The overall structure is simple and can be directly configured in the discharging area of ​​the pallet processing equipment. It can be operated accordingly with the discharging rate of the pallet assembly. It has a high degree of automation and does not require manual participation, so there will be no safety hazards in human intervention operations.

[0052] In addition, the indicated orientations or positional relationships described in the present invention are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or structure referred to must have a specific orientation or be operated with a specific orientation structure.
