The feeding conveyor line 21, the labeling conveyor belt 22, the discharging conveyor line 23 and the sliding piece are all electrically connected to the PLC controller, which helps to realize the automated processing of the assembly line.

[0029] Referring to 2, specifically, in order to facilitate driving the labeling conveyor belt 22 to slide, the sliding member can adopt a servo module, a rodless cylinder, a cylinder, etc., which is not limited here.

[0030] During operation, the labeling conveyor belt 22 is driven down by the sliding member to be flush with the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23, so that the product moves from the feed conveyor line 21 to the labeling conveyor belt 22, and then the labeling conveyor belt 22 is driven up by the sliding member to make the labeling conveyor belt 22 and the product rise above the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23, and then the product on the labeling conveyor belt 22 is labeled by the robot arm. Since the labeling conveyor belt 22 is higher than the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23 during the labeling operation, it can provide sufficient operating space for the operation of the robot arm, realizing a double-layer form, and there is no need to set the adjacent processes far apart, which helps to make the various processes of the assembly line compact and save the space and area occupied by the assembly line to a certain extent.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23 are respectively and parallelly located on opposite sides of the machine body 1, and the feed end 3 of the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge end 4 of the discharge conveyor line 23 are arranged on the same side of the machine body 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the length directions of the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23 are parallel to the length direction of the machine body 1; the labeling conveyor belt 22 is located on the side of the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23 away from the product input and output ends.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3, the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23 each include a plurality of product conveyor belts, and the plurality of product conveyor belts of the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23 are all arranged on the same side of the machine body 1 and extend into the tank body 5; the plurality of product conveyor belts of the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the machine body 1, and the conveying direction of the product conveyor belts is parallel to the length direction of the machine body, and the conveying direction of the labeling conveyor belt 22 is parallel to the conveying direction of the product conveyor belts. In the embodiment of the present application, two product conveyor belts are provided for the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23; in other embodiments, the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23 may also respectively adopt a long conveyor belt. Each product conveyor belt is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0033] During operation, the product is placed on the product conveyor belt of the feed conveyor line 21, which conveys the product through the hot melt machine for hot melt process, and then conveys it to the labeling conveyor belt 22. After the product is labeled on the labeling conveyor belt 22, it is conveyed to the product conveyor belt on the discharge conveyor line 23. The product passes through the pressing machine on the product conveyor belt of the discharge conveyor line 23 for pressing, and finally outputs from the discharge end 4 of the discharge conveyor line 23. Since the product feed end 3 and the discharge end 4 are located on the same side of the machine body 1, the rotation of the assembly line is realized, and each process does not need to be distributed along a straight line, which helps to further save the horizontal occupied space and area of ​​the assembly line.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , multiple labeling conveyor belts 22 are provided, the columns 7 correspond to the labeling conveyor belts 22 one by one, and multiple robotic arms are provided, which is helpful to improve the labeling efficiency; preferably, an even number of labeling conveyor belts 22 are provided, and the even number of labeling conveyor belts 22 are distributed in pairs on opposite sides of the machine body 1, that is, the labeling conveyor belts 22 on one side are located at the end of the feed conveyor line 21 away from the feed end 3, and the labeling conveyor belts 22 on the other side are located at the end of the discharge conveyor line 23 away from the discharge end 4, so that the space arrangement is compact and the lateral occupied space and area of ​​multiple labeling conveyor belts 22 are minimized.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Preferably, two labeling conveyor belts 22 are provided, and the two labeling conveyor belts 22 are staggered and distributed on opposite sides of the machine body 1, that is, one labeling conveyor belt 22 is located on the side of the feeding conveyor line 21 away from the feeding end 3, and the other labeling conveyor belt 22 is located on the side of the discharging conveyor line 23 away from the discharging end 4. The realization of double processing positions is helpful to improve processing efficiency; at the same time, the staggered setting of the labeling conveyor belts 22 on both sides of the machine body 1 is helpful to facilitate the labeling operation of multiple robot arms, so that multiple robot arms are not easy to interfere when operating at different positions at the same time.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The product conveying mechanism 2 further includes a flip assembly 24, which is arranged in the tank body 5. The flip assembly 24 is located on the side of the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the discharging conveyor line 23 away from the discharging end 4. The flip assembly 24 is used to flip and move the product on the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the feeding conveyor line 21 to the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the discharging conveyor line 23. The flip assembly 24 can be a manipulator, a robot, etc., or a combined structure consisting of a rotating cylinder, a support plate fixed on the piston rod of the rotating cylinder, and a suction cup installed on the support plate. The rotating cylinder is rotatably installed on the side wall of the tank body 5. The extension direction and the rotation axis of the rotating cylinder are perpendicular to the conveying direction of the labeling conveyor belt 22. The suction cup is used to adsorb and fix with the top wall of the product on the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the feeding conveyor line 21. The flip assembly 24 is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0037] When in use, a manipulator or robot is used to grip the product on the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side where the feeding conveyor line 21 is located, flip it and move it to the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side where the discharging conveyor line 23 is located, which is helpful for labeling the back of the product, and the processing efficiency is high. Alternatively, the support plate and the suction cup are driven by a rotating cylinder to move to the top of the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the feeding conveyor line 21, so that the suction cup absorbs the product, and then drives the product to move to the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side where the discharging conveyor line 23 is located. The rotating cylinder drives the support plate and the product to rotate, so that a part of the product is overlapped on the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side where the discharging conveyor line 23 is located, and the suction cup releases the product, which can also realize the flipping and movement of the product.

[0038] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is: when working, the product is placed on the product conveyor belt of the feed conveyor line 21, and the product conveyor belt of the feed conveyor line 21 transports the product through the hot melt machine for the hot melt process, and then the product conveyor belt of the feed conveyor line 21 transports the product to the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the corresponding side. At this time, the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side where the feed conveyor line 21 is located is flush with the product conveyor belt, and then the labeling conveyor belt 22 is driven to rise by the sliding member, so that the labeling conveyor belt 22 and the product rise to above the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23, and then the product on the labeling conveyor belt 22 is labeled by the robot arm. During the labeling operation, the labeling conveyor belt 22 is higher than the feed conveyor line 21 and the discharge conveyor line 23, realizing a double-layer structure, which can provide sufficient working space for the operation of the robot arm, and help to design each process of the assembly line compactly, saving the space and area occupied by the assembly line to a certain extent.

[0039] After the product labeling is completed, the manipulator or robot of the flipping component 24 flips the product from the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the feed conveyor line 21 to the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the discharge conveyor line 23. At this time, the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the discharge conveyor line 23 is higher than the product conveyor belt, and then the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the feed conveyor line 21 is driven by the sliding member to drop to be flush with the product conveyor belt, and the back of the product on the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the discharge conveyor line 23 is labeled by the manipulator. After the labeling is completed, the labeling conveyor belt 22 on the side of the discharge conveyor line 23 is driven by the sliding member to move down to be flush with the discharge conveyor line 23; the product is conveyed to the discharge conveyor line 23, and the product is moved to the pressing machine through the product conveyor belt of the discharge conveyor line 23 for pressing, and finally output from the discharge end 4 of the discharge conveyor line 23, and reciprocates to realize continuous processing. Since the assembly line forms a U shape, the horizontal occupied space and area of ​​the assembly line are further saved.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
