Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a laminating mechanism, in particular to an online printing label laminating mechanism. Background Art
[0002] With the diversification of products, labeling products not only allows customers to have a general understanding of the product's appearance, but also allows customers to quickly get information such as the product's purpose from the label text. A good label can also make customers remember a certain product. As the market expands, products are also exported, and the most commonly used cross-border transportation method is shipping and water transportation. The labeling process on product packaging is particularly important. To achieve properties such as wear resistance, water resistance, dirt resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance, labels with film are required to meet the requirements. This has brought great trouble to traditional manual labeling and laminating. Traditional manual labeling and laminating is to peel off the protective film from the material strip and then stick it on the label, and then stick the label and protective film as a whole to the designated position of the product.
[0003] At present, the existing labeling method is that an experienced worker first peels off a protective film from the protective film roll, and then sticks it on the printed label (at this time, the main position on the label must be evenly covered on all four sides to achieve the protective effect. If it is not covered well, the film and label will be considered invalid), and then stick the film-covered label as a whole on the designated position of the product (the position of sticking is required to be uniform). This manual work is high-intensity and requires a high level of proficiency of the operator. In addition, the sticking position is not accurate, the efficiency is low, the label scrap rate is high, and it is difficult to implement one label for one object and easy to get confused.

[0033] The label position correction CCD mechanism 4 is used to locate the labeling position, correct the label position and detect the overall position of the labeling film;
[0034] The labeling product positioning device 5 is used to position the product.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the label and protective film taking mechanism 2 includes a label taking and pasting mechanism 6, a protective film taking and pasting mechanism 7 and a protective film secondary rolling mechanism 8;
[0036] The label material taking and pasting mechanism 6 and the protective film material taking and pasting mechanism 7 are installed on the mechanical arm of the robot 1, and the protective film secondary rolling mechanism 8 is installed on one side of the protective film material taking and pasting mechanism 7 through an adapter plate;
[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the label picking and pasting mechanism 6 is mainly used to pick up the label from the label positioning mechanism in the label printing identification positioning and the protective film stripping identification positioning mechanism 3 and pasting the label to the designated position of the product, the protective film picking and pasting mechanism 7 is mainly used to pick up the protective film from the protective film stripping flyer in the label printing identification positioning and the protective film stripping identification positioning mechanism 3 and pasting the label to the product, and the protective film secondary rolling mechanism 8 is mainly used to perform secondary rolling on the already pasted film to ensure the fit with the film.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the label printing identification and positioning protective film peeling identification and positioning mechanism 3 includes a label machine 9, a protective film stripping feeder mechanism 10, a label receiving and positioning mechanism, an NG label rejecting mechanism 11, a protective film identification and positioning CCD 12, a label identification and positioning CCD 13 and a mounting platform;
[0039] The labeling machine 9 is installed on one side above the installation platform, and the protective film stripping feeder mechanism 10 is installed on the other side above the installation platform; the label receiving and positioning mechanism is installed at the front end of the labeling machine 9, and the NG label rejection mechanism 11 is located at the front end of the label receiving and positioning mechanism;
[0040] A protective film identification and positioning CCD 12 and a label identification and positioning CCD 13 are arranged in sequence from left to right between the labeling machine 9 and the protective film stripping feeder mechanism 10;
[0041] The label recognition and positioning CCD 13 corresponds to the position of the label material receiving and positioning mechanism, and the protective film recognition and positioning CCD 12 corresponds to the position of the protective film stripping feeder mechanism 10;
[0042] The label machine 9 is connected to the MES system and prints labels with corresponding contents according to the instructions of the customer's on-site system;
[0043] The protective film stripping flyer mechanism 10 strips the protective film of the raw material in the form of a coil in sequence and positions it on the platform to wait for grabbing;
[0044] The label receiving and positioning mechanism 11 extends into the label machine to receive the label printed by the label machine and positions the label and then exits to wait for grabbing;
[0045] The NG label rejection mechanism 12 detects that the printed labels are incomplete or blurred and are NG products and removes them and puts them into the NG box;
[0046] The protective film recognition and positioning CCD13 obtains the position data by taking a photo of the product posture after peeling off the protective film and transmits the data information to the robot;
[0047] The label recognition and positioning CCD 14 recognizes whether the label is OK or NG by taking a photo of the label, and locates its position data on the label receiving mechanism positioning mechanism 11, and transmits the data to the robot.
[0048] In addition, the label position correction landing CCD mechanism 4 includes an X-axis single-axis module 14 and a position recognition correction CCD 15;
[0049] The position recognition and correction CCD 15 is installed on the movable end of the X-axis single-axis module 14;
[0050] The X-axis single-axis module 15 can manually adjust the position of the CCD Z axis, and can also automatically drive the CCD to perform X-axis displacement. The position recognition and correction CCD 16 mainly recognizes the position where labeling is required and corrects the label position.
[0051] Here’s how it works:
[0052] When the previous product has completed all the steps, the label machine prints out the corresponding label according to the label content transmitted by the customer's MES system. The label receiving and positioning mechanism extends into the label machine to receive the printed label and fix the label by vacuum suction, and then exits. At this time, the label identification and positioning CCD starts to take pictures to identify whether the printed label is a qualified product, and identify the label's position data; when the label is detected to be an NG product, the NG label rejection mechanism will absorb the NG label and put it into the NG label material box. When the detected label is an OK product, the position data will be transmitted to the robot;
[0053] At the same time as step 1, the protective film stripping feeder mechanism also operates, automatically stripping off a piece of protective film on the feeder platform, and the protective film recognition and positioning CCD13 takes a photo to identify the position information of the protective film and transmits the position information to the robot.
[0054] When the labels and protective films are all ready, the robot drives the label picking and pasting mechanism and the protective film picking and pasting mechanism at the shaft end to start picking up materials. First, the label picking and pasting mechanism sucks the label on the platform to the suction cup by vacuum suction on the label receiving and positioning mechanism platform, and then the robot moves to the protective film stripping feeder mechanism, and sucks the protective film on the platform to the suction cup through the protective film picking and pasting mechanism.
[0055] Simultaneously with step 3, the label position correction CCD mechanism identifies the position of the carton that needs to be labeled and transmits the position data to the robot.
[0056] The robot drives the label picking and pasting mechanism at the shaft end to move to the product labeling location and affixes the label to the specified position of the product through the position data provided by the CCD mechanism that corrects the label position.
[0057] The robot moves away, and the label position correction landing CCD mechanism moves over to identify the position of the label just pasted, and transmits the corrected lamination position data to the robot.
[0058] The robot again drives the protective film picking and laminating mechanism at the shaft end to move to the labeling position for label lamination according to the corrected position information.
[0059] The robot drives the protective film secondary rolling mechanism at the shaft end to roll the film that has just been covered for a second time so that the film is tightly attached to the label to meet the protection standards.
[0060] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
