In general scenarios, the label is located at a non-middle position on one end face of the towel. For a single-station edge binding equipment, the assembly line production can ensure the unity of the label position; for a traditional double-station edge binding equipment, each mechanism is arranged in an axisymmetric manner. At this time, the labels attached to the towels at the two stations are also axisymmetrically arranged. As a result, the towels produced by the two stations cannot ensure the unity of the label position and cannot meet the user's needs.

[0043] The following combines specific embodiments to further elaborate on the content of the present utility model:

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, a label loading module with a double station includes a working platform 1 and a pair of label loading mechanisms 2.

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, the working platform 1 has a transfer area 11 for the movement of materials (labels). The transfer area 11 includes a temporary storage area 111 and translational areas 112 provided on both sides of the temporary storage area 111. The materials reaching the temporary storage area 111 flow alternately in opposite directions towards the translational areas 112 on both sides, that is, in the directions indicated by the arrows in the figure. The double-station design is used to improve work efficiency and increase production. The movement of materials in the transfer area 11 can be carried out by a manipulator or by a conveyor belt.

[0046] As Figure 1 shown, a pair of label loading mechanisms 2 are arranged outside the transfer area 11 on the working platform, on different sides along the length direction of the translational areas 112 on both sides, and are rotationally symmetrically arranged with the center of the temporary storage area 111. Further, as Figure 2 shown, taking the example of label 002 sewn on the reverse side of towel 001, since label 002 is generally not in the middle position on one end face of towel 001, when the two label loading mechanisms 2 are rotationally symmetrically arranged, the positions of label 002 on the towels 001 produced by the two stations can be unified, meeting the consistency of all towels 001; rotating any towel 001 in Figure 2 by 180° will find that the positions of label 002 on the towel 001 are all unified.

[0047] Regarding the label loading mechanism 2, it has a feeding end and a discharging end distributed along the first direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the flow direction of the materials in the translational area 112, and the discharging end is on the side close to the translational area 112. Taking the direction shown in Figure 1 as an example, the first direction is the vertical direction, and the flow direction of the materials in the translational area 112 is the horizontal direction.

[0048] Specifically, as Figures 3 - 6 shown, the label loading mechanism 2 includes a feeding assembly 3, a cutting assembly 4, and a discharging assembly (clamping member 5 and linear module 6) distributed in sequence along the first direction.

[0049] The feeding component 3 includes a reel 31 and a pair of conveying rollers 33. The reel 31 is used for winding the uncut material roll, and the pair of conveying rollers 33 clamp the material and drive the end of the material to move forward. The pair of conveying rollers 33 and the cutting component 4 are both installed on the base 7. At the end of the conveying roller 33 far from the cutting component 4, a transition roller 32 installed on the base 7 is further provided. The material wound on the reel 31 flows through the transition roller 32 and then reaches between the pair of conveying rollers 33. The transition roller 32 is rotatably connected to the base 7 through a pair of swing arms 321, and a torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection position to ensure that the material is always in a tensioned state. In order to ensure accurate cutting of the material, a sensor 34 installed on the base 7 is further provided between the transition roller 32 and the conveying roller 33 to control the single movement distance of the material and ensure the accuracy of each cutting.

[0050] The pair of conveying rollers 33 are distributed vertically. The conveying roller 33 at the lower part is arranged in the base 7 and is driven by a motor, a transmission wheel and a conveyor belt. The conveying roller 33 at the upper part is erected on the base 7. The outer wall surfaces of the pair of conveying rollers 33 are provided with textures for increasing friction. Based on the action of friction, when the lower conveying roller 33 rotates, it will also drive the material clamped between the two and the upper conveying roller 33 to move.

[0051] As Figure 4 shown, the cutting component 4 includes a cutting knife 41 and a cutting cylinder 42. As Figure 7 shown, the cutting knife 41 has a blade part 411, and the blade part 411 is arranged in an inclined shape. An auxiliary plate 43 is attached to the end face of the cutting knife 41 on the side biased towards the blade part 411. The space between the blade part 411 and the upper end face of the auxiliary plate 43 is for the material to pass through. When the cutting cylinder 42 drives the cutting knife 41 to move downward, the inclined blade part 411 realizes rapid cutting of the material from one end to the other end, and the cutting effect is good without sticking.

[0052] As Figures 4 - 6 shown, the blanking component includes a pair of clamping members 5 and a linear module 6 for driving the clamping members 5 to move in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions.

[0053] The clamping member 5 includes a fixed seat 51, a lower clamping plate 52 fixed on the fixed seat 51, a clamping cylinder 53, and an upper clamping plate 54 connected to the movable end of the clamping cylinder 53. The upper clamping plate 54 and the lower clamping plate 52 are both arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0054] The linear module 6 is installed on the substrate 8 and includes an X-axis cylinder 61, a Y-axis cylinder 62, and a Z-axis cylinder 63. The X-axis cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the substrate 8, and the movable end is connected to the Z-axis cylinder 63. The movable end of the Z-axis cylinder 63 is connected to the Y-axis cylinder 62, and the movable end of the Y-axis cylinder 62 is connected to the clamping member 5.

[0055] During operation, the label feeding mechanisms 2 on both sides work independently. Among them, the material roll is wound around the reel 31, and after passing through the transition roller 32, it is clamped between a pair of transmission rollers 33. Through the action of the pair of transmission rollers 33, the head of the material roll can be continuously sent out towards the cutting assembly 4 side and pass through the space between the cutting edge portion 411 and the upper end surface of the auxiliary plate 43. When the sensor 34 detects that the material roll has moved in place, that is, the material roll exceeds the cutting edge portion 411 by the length of one label, the clamping member 5 clamps the head of the material roll, and the cutting cylinder 42 drives the cutter 41 to move downward to cut the head of the material roll and obtain a label. At this time, the clamping member 5 clamps the label and quickly supplies it to the towel in the translational area 112, and the sewing of the label and the towel is realized through the subsequent edge wrapping mechanism.

[0056] In summary, for the label feeding module with a double working position, the present utility model adopts the label feeding mechanism 2 which is rotationally symmetrically arranged in a diagonal manner to realize the feeding of labels during the towel edge wrapping process, so that the positions of the labels sewn on the finally formed materials are unified, meeting the use requirements.
