[0023] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings provide preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiment of the utility model provides a four-in-one labeling device, which is used to simultaneously attach no more than four labels to the same product. The four labels can be labels of the same type or different types, which is not limited here. The four-in-one labeling device includes a label stripping component, a label taking and attaching component, a loading and unloading component, a detection component and a control component.
[0027] Among them, the label stripping component is used to peel off the label located on the substrate to facilitate the next step of label attachment. Specifically, the label stripping component can be four groups of independent automatic roll material label stripping equipment 1, or four groups of independent automatic sheet material label stripping equipment, or a combination of the two, for example, one group of independent automatic roll material label stripping equipment 1 and three groups of independent automatic sheet material label stripping equipment, or two groups of independent automatic roll material label stripping equipment 1 and two groups of independent automatic sheet material label stripping equipment, or three groups of independent automatic roll material label stripping equipment 1 and one group of independent automatic sheet material label stripping equipment. How to configure these four groups of label stripping settings is to perform adaptive configuration according to different usage scenarios. This embodiment is explained by taking four groups of independent automatic roll material label stripping equipment 1 as an example.
[0028] The label picking and attaching assembly includes a four-head label picking and attaching mechanism 2, an X-axis moving module 4 of the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism, and a Y-axis moving module 5 of the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism; the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism 2 is movably set on the X-axis moving module 4 of the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism, and the X-axis moving module 4 of the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism is movably set on the Y-axis moving module 5 of the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism; the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism 2 includes four parallelly arranged label picking and labeling adsorption heads, each of which can move up and down along the Z-axis direction, and each of which can also rotate around the Z-axis. By moving and setting the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism 2 on the X-axis moving module 4 of the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism, the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism 2 can be moved along the X-axis, so that each label picking and labeling adsorption head in the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism 2 can be moved to four groups of independent automatic coil stripping equipment 1 to perform label picking; by moving and setting the X-axis moving module 4 of the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism on the Y-axis moving module 5 of the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism, the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism 2 can be moved along the Y-axis to the top of the labeling station after completing label picking; the label picking and labeling adsorption head moves up and down along the Z-axis direction, which can facilitate label picking and attaching actions.
[0029] The detection component is used to detect the position of the label after the label removal and attachment component completes the label removal and the position of the product to be labeled, especially the angle offset of the label after the label removal and the angle offset of the product to be labeled. By detecting the angle offset of the label and the product, the angle calibration of the label before labeling can be achieved. Specifically, when it is detected that the angle offset of the label is different from the angle offset of the product, the label removal and labeling adsorption head with the label adsorbed can be rotated around the Z axis by a predetermined amount to adjust the angle of the label to achieve the angle calibration of the label.
[0030] The control component is connected to the detection component, the label picking and attaching component, and the loading and unloading component, and calculates the offset according to the posture of the label and the posture of the product to be labeled, and then controls the label picking and attaching component to perform offset calibration according to the offset before performing the labeling operation.
[0031] The loading and unloading components are used to deliver the products to be labeled into the labeling station and to deliver the labeled products out of the labeling station.
[0032] In a possible embodiment, the detection component includes a first CCD camera 6, which is inverted and arranged between the loading and unloading component and the label stripping component, and is used to detect the position and posture of the label after the label picking and attaching component completes the label picking. Specifically, the four-head label picking and attaching mechanism 2 moves the picked-up label to the top of the first CCD camera 6, and visually locates multiple labels in turn to determine the current position and posture of the label, especially the angle information. The four labels require the first CCD camera 6 to shoot four times to obtain the position and posture information of the four labels respectively. Of course, in order to improve the detection efficiency, two first CCD cameras 6 or four first CCD cameras 6 can also be arranged in parallel, and the distance between the two first CCD cameras 6 arranged in parallel is consistent with the distance between the two label picking and labeling adsorption heads arranged in parallel. The purpose of such a setting is that the detection action can be completed by shooting once or twice.
[0033] In a possible embodiment, the detection component also includes a second CCD camera (not shown in the figure) and a position sensor (not shown in the figure), wherein the second CCD camera is used to detect the posture of the product to be labeled, and the position sensor is used to detect whether the product to be labeled enters the labeling station.
[0034] In one possible embodiment, the loading and unloading assembly includes a loading and unloading assembly line 3, and the labeling section of the loading and unloading assembly line 3 is made of transparent material. The second CCD camera and the position sensor are arranged at the lower part of the labeling section of the loading and unloading assembly line 3. Specifically, the position sensor is a photoelectric sensor. By setting the labeling section of the loading and unloading assembly line 3 to a transparent material, so as to facilitate setting the second CCD camera and the position sensor at the lower part of the transparent labeling section, the angle detection of the product and the detection of whether the product enters the labeling station can be realized. Such a setting makes the integration of the whole equipment better and the layout more compact. Of course, a mounting bracket can also be separately arranged on the upper part of the labeling section of the loading and unloading assembly line 3 for installing the second CCD camera and the position sensor. This also belongs to the conventional arrangement method in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0035] In a possible implementation, four groups of independent automatic coil label stripping devices and / or independent automatic sheet label stripping devices are arranged in parallel on one side of the loading and unloading assembly line 3, or at least one group of independent automatic coil label stripping devices or independent automatic sheet label stripping devices and other independent automatic coil label stripping devices or independent automatic sheet label stripping devices are arranged on both sides of the loading and unloading assembly line 3. Different arrangements are suitable for different usage scenarios. For example, when one or two independent automatic sheet label stripping devices are combined with three or two groups of independent automatic coil label stripping devices, it can be considered to respectively arrange the independent automatic sheet label stripping devices and the independent automatic coil label stripping devices on both sides of the loading and unloading assembly line 3, so as to avoid the overall equipment being too long in the X-axis direction, and further improve the overall integration of the equipment. When label stripping devices are arranged on both sides of the loading and unloading assembly line 3, in order to further improve the detection efficiency, a first CCD camera 6 can be arranged on both sides of the loading and unloading assembly line 3 to respectively detect the position and posture of the labels on both sides of the loading and unloading assembly line 3.
[0036] 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 patent application. 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.
