Description

Technical Field

In this process, there may be misalignment, incompleteness, missing, etc. Even in special working conditions, paper labels are associated with the product's own parts information. Manual pasting may cause mistakes, and the label does not correspond to the product information. When quality problems occur, it cannot be effectively traced. To this end, we designed an automatic labeling device for smart meters. Utility Model Content

[0042] The implementation principle of an automatic labeling device for a smart meter in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: in actual use, the printer 4 prints out the corresponding label and conveys it to the label output platform 41, the lifting robot 61 grabs the printed label through the suction cup 628 in the labeling component 62, and places the label above the visual module 5, wherein the light source 52 can make the label not unclear due to dim light, and the CCD camera 51 can detect the label to prevent printing errors or damage, and the label that meets the standard will be moved to the front side of the roller conveyor 3 and prepared for labeling. At this time, the box body is placed above the roller conveyor 3 and moves forward. When the box body contacts the positioning plate 74, it cannot continue to move forward. The lifting robot 61 makes the entire labeling component 62 drop to the required height, and the electric rotation The platform 622 makes the components on the entire connecting frame 624 flip a certain angle, so that the visual module 625 can be perpendicular to the box. At this time, the visual module 625 will detect the labeling position, and the suction cup 628 will adjust the position of the label under the action of the rotating motor 629, so that the label is aligned with the labeling position on the box.

In conjunction with the set visual module 5, the printed labels can be inspected accordingly to determine whether they meet the standards. After that, the label taking and applying mechanism 6 can attach the labels to the designated positions of the box body, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy. In addition, the device has an integrated design, a small overall volume, and a small occupied area.

[0044] By sequentially arranging the positioning mechanism 7, the flipping mechanism 8 and the horizontal mechanism 9 on the roller conveyor 3, the box can be limited and blocked during labeling, thereby facilitating the labeling. The design of the flipping mechanism 8 and the horizontal mechanism 9 enables the box to be flipped 90 degrees and ensure horizontal movement, which is convenient for subsequent processing operations.
