Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of labeling, and particularly relates to an automatic labeling machine. Background Art

[0002] The display part of a notebook needs to be rotated through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft also needs to be covered by a rotating shaft cover for protection and better appearance. In order to make the rotating shaft cover consistent with the overall appearance of the notebook computer, the rotating shaft cover needs to be painted. If painted and inspected one by one, the efficiency is not high. To improve the efficiency, a production line painting method is often adopted. To inspect the quality and mark each rotating shaft cover, the cross-section of the screen shaft cover is U-shaped. Therefore, labels are pasted inside the U-shaped groove of each screen shaft cover, and the outside of the U-shaped groove is painted. If manually pasted and the rotating shaft cover is placed on the spraying bracket, the pasting position of each label is inconsistent; and the rotating shaft cover is slender, and the opening size of its U-shaped groove is relatively small, making it inconvenient for the hand to reach in, resulting in low pasting efficiency.

[0029] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation modes of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0030] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for understanding and reading by those familiar with this technology, and are not used to limit the conditions for implementation of the present invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention without affecting the efficacy and purpose of the present invention. At the same time, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be considered as the scope of implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0031] In order to describe the present invention in detail, first, the automatic labeling of the present invention will be specifically described below.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an automatic labeling machine, comprising a base 10, a frame 20, a suction assembly 30, and a rotation assembly 40. The frame 20 is mounted on the base 10, and the rotation assembly 40 is mounted on one side of the frame 20 and is mainly used to control the rotation of the frame 20 relative to the base 10. The suction assembly 30 is mounted on the frame 20 and rotates as the frame 20 rotates.

[0033] The rotating assembly 40 includes a rotating motor 401 and a first rotating shaft 402. The output shaft of the rotating motor 401 is connected to the first rotating shaft 402, and the first rotating shaft 402 passes through the frame 20 and is fixedly connected to the frame 20. The rotating motor 401 rotates to drive the frame 20 to rotate. In order to ensure that the rotation force on both sides of the frame 20 is uniform and the frame 20 does not swing when rotating, a second rotating shaft 403 is provided on the side of the frame 20 away from the first rotating shaft 402. The second rotating shaft 403 is rotationally connected to the frame 20, and the axes of the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 are on a straight line. The second rotating shaft 403 is equivalent to a passive shaft, and the first rotating shaft 402 is the active shaft. The first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 are on a straight line, which is equivalent to the frame 20 rotating around this straight line.

[0034] The first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403 are separately provided, instead of the first rotating shaft 402 passing directly through the frame 20. The two sides of the first rotating shaft 402 are directly rotatably provided with the base 10. This is to ensure that after the frame 20 rotates, the components in the frame 20 do not interfere with the first rotating shaft 402 and the second rotating shaft 403.

[0035] The sucking component 30 includes a body 301 and a sucking part 302, and the sucking part 302 is flat; the sucking part 302 is used to suck the label. At the corresponding position of the sucking component, a label discharging component 60 is provided. After the sucking component 30 rotates, the sucking part 302 can suck the label. The label discharging component 60 can adopt existing equipment to install the label through rollers, and the label is moved through a plurality of guiding rollers in the middle. After moving in place, the sucking component sucks away the label, and the recovery roller at the bottom of the label discharging component 60 recovers the label tape. The specific structure of the label discharging component 60 belongs to existing equipment and will not be elaborated in this application.

[0036] In this embodiment, the sucking component 30 uses a negative pressure pneumatic method to adsorb the label onto the sucking component 30. Therefore, an air suction hole 303 is provided on the body 301, and a label suction hole 304 is provided on the side of the flat sucking part 302 close to the label. The air suction hole 303 is communicated with the label suction hole 304, and a trachea is connected to the air suction hole 303. When in use, the label is sucked by the negative pressure suction method.

[0037] The label suction holes 304 are arranged along the thickness direction of the sucking part 302, and the label suction holes 304 are located at the bottom of the sucking part 302. The label suction holes 304 are not through holes but blind holes, and the label suction holes 304 do not penetrate the thickness direction of the sucking part 302. Therefore, for the convenience of processing, a communication hole 305 is provided on the sucking part 302. The communication hole 305 starts from the side of the sucking part 302 away from the body 301, and the communication hole 305 extends along the length direction of the body 301, so as to communicate the label suction hole 304 and the air suction hole 303.

[0038] A plurality of label suction holes 304 are provided on the sucking part 302. Preferably, the label suction holes 304 are formed in a matrix, which is convenient for processing the communication holes 305. The communication holes 305 are linear, and it is best to process the label suction holes 304 in the length direction of the communication holes 305.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the processing of the communication holes 305, a groove 306 is provided at the bottom of the body 301 corresponding to the air suction holes 303. The groove 306 is arranged along the width direction of the body 301, so that after the communication hole 305 is set downward from the sucking part 302, it can be communicated with the inner wall of the groove 306. Each communication hole 305 is communicated with the air suction hole 303 in the groove, and the air pressure of the air suction hole 303 is dispersed into each communication hole at the groove. After processing, the groove 306 can be blocked by a thin plate at the groove 306.

[0040] If the width of the label is relatively long, the suction part 302 only contacts a part of the label when sucking the label, and the suction part 302 does not contact the entire label. After sucking the label, the suction hole 303 sucks air, and the end of the communication hole 305 away from the groove 306 also performs negative pressure suction. The label that has not contacted the suction part 302 in the front bends towards the side of the suction part 302 under the action of negative pressure, and the label is located on both sides of the suction part 302. When applying the label, the suction hole 303, the communication hole 305, and the label suction hole 304 lose negative pressure. The back of the label has adhesiveness and is pasted on the inside of the rotating shaft cover. If a better pasting effect is desired, air can also be blown through the suction hole 303. If the width of the label is not long, the top of the communication hole 305 can also be blocked by a plug.

[0041] In order to improve efficiency, this application successively sets multiple suction components 30, and can apply labels to multiple rotating shaft covers at one time. However, the rotating shaft cover is slender. After the manipulator grabs the rotating shaft cover, the rotating shaft covers are arranged in parallel with each other. When the suction part 302 sucks the label and the rotating component 40 rotates the frame 20, the suction component 30 is vertically upward, and each suction part 302 is in a straight line. Even if the labels are applied, all the labels will be pasted on one rotating shaft cover. Therefore, in order to make one suction component 30 apply a label to one rotating shaft cover, a rotary cylinder 307 is provided at the bottom of the suction component 30.

[0042] The output end of the rotary cylinder 307 is connected to the main body 301. A hole is provided at one end of the main body 301 close to the rotary cylinder 307, and small holes are provided on both sides of the hole. Bolts pass through the small holes to fixedly connect the output end of the rotary cylinder 307 to the main body 301. After the suction part 302 sucks the label, when the rotating component 40 controls the rotation of the frame 20, the rotary cylinder 307 also controls the rotation of the main body 301, so that each suction part 302 is arranged in parallel, and thus labels can be applied to multiple rotating shaft covers at one time.

[0043] In order to save energy, the distance between the labels on the label output component 60 is relatively close. Therefore, if each suction component 30 rotates in place after sucking the label, the distance after rotation cannot meet the minimum distance between the rotating shaft covers. Therefore, this application also provides a moving component 50 on the frame 20, and the distance between adjacent suction components 30 can be adjusted through the moving component 50.

[0044] The moving component 50 includes a moving power source 501, a plurality of first connecting blocks 502, and a plurality of connecting rods 503. A first connecting block 502 is installed on each rotary cylinder 307. Locking holes 504 are provided on both sides of the first connecting block 502, and adjacent locking holes 504 are connected by a connecting rod 503. Limiting bosses 505 are provided on both sides of the connecting rod 503, and the limiting bosses 505 are used to limit the connecting rod 503. The moving power source 501 is connected to the first connecting block 502 on the side away from the fixed end of the moving power source 501.

[0045] In this embodiment, the moving power source 501 adopts a cylinder. As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the fixed end of the moving power source 501 is located on the left side, and the telescopic end of the moving power source 501 is connected to the rightmost sucking component 30. A total of four sucking components 30 are provided in this embodiment to paste labels on four shaft covers at the same time. Adjacent sucking components 30 are connected by connecting rods 503. Therefore, three connecting rods 503 are designed. One end of the connecting rod 503 is connected to the first connecting block 502 at the top of one of the sucking components 30, and the other end is connected to the first connecting block 502 at the top of another sucking component 30. The left and right movement of the rightmost first connecting block 502 drives the movement of several middle sucking components 30, while the leftmost sucking component 30 is fixedly connected to the frame 20, and its position does not change with the expansion and contraction of the moving power source 501. When the rightmost sucking component 30 is pulled to move to the right by the moving power source 501, the connecting rod 503 on the rightmost sucking component 30 pulls the adjacent sucking component 30 to move, and then pulls another sucking component 30 to move in turn.

[0046] In order to fix the fixed end of the moving power source 501, the present application provides a portal-shaped frame on the frame 20. The vertical sides of the frame are connected to both sides of the frame 20, and the middle of the frame straddles the frame 20. The telescopic end of the moving power source 501 passes through the middle part of the frame, and the middle part of the frame is located above the sucking component 30.

[0047] When the telescopic end of the moving power source 501 retracts, the rightmost sucking component 30 moves to the left. The connecting rod 503 on its upper part does not slide at first. When the rightmost sucking component 30 continues to slide to the left, after the connecting rod 503 on its upper part contacts the right side of the rightmost first connecting block 502, the connecting rod 503 cannot continue to slide. Then, the rightmost sucking component 30 pushes the adjacent sucking component 30 to move to the left, and so on, until all are close to the leftmost sucking component 30. After each label is pasted, the moving power source 501 controls the sucking components 30 to come closer, and after each sucking component 30 sucks the label, the moving power source 501 controls each sucking component 30 to separate.

[0048] The limiting boss 505 and the connecting rod 503 can be integrally formed or separate. If they are integrally formed, the interlocking hole 504 at the top of the first connecting block 502 is designed as a semicircle, and a cover plate is provided on both sides of the first connecting block 502. A semicircular hole is also provided on the cover plate. When the cover plate is connected to the first connecting block 502, a complete interlocking hole 504 is formed, and the cover plate and the first connecting block 502 can be connected by bolts. In this embodiment, the limiting boss 505 and the connecting rod 503 are separate. External threads are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 503, and internal threads are provided on the limiting boss 505 to connect the connecting rod 503 and the limiting boss 505. After the manipulator grabs the shaft cover, the length of the connecting rod 503 and the width of the first connecting block 502 are designed according to the distance between the shaft covers on the manipulator.

[0049] In order to make the sliding of the suction assembly 30 orderly during the movement process, a guide rail 507 is installed on one side of the frame 20 close to the suction assembly 30, and a slider 508 is installed on the guide rail 507. The cooperation between the slider 508 and the guide rail 507 makes the sliding of the suction assembly 30 smoother. The suction assembly 30 close to the moving power 501 side is not installed on the slider 508 and is fixedly connected to the frame 20 for fixing the position.

[0050] One side of the slider 508 away from the guide rail 507 is connected to a second connecting block 506. The first connecting block 502 is installed on the second connecting block 506, and the rotary cylinder 307 is connected to the second connecting block 506. An opening is provided on one side of the frame 20 close to the suction assembly 30, and the telescopic end of the moving power 501 is connected to the suction assembly 30 on the side away from the fixed end of the moving power 501.

[0051] In this embodiment, an adjustable opening is provided on one side of the frame 20 close to the suction assembly 30, so that the suction assembly 30 can move left and right in the opening. Therefore, in order to make the connection between the second connecting block 506 and the frame 20 better and the guiding effect better, guide rails 507 are provided above and below the opening, and two sliders 508 are provided on each second connecting block 506 along the up and down directions. A through hole is provided in the middle of the second connecting block 506, so that the output end of the rotary cylinder 307 can pass through the through hole and be connected to the body 301 of the suction assembly 30.

[0052] Working process: Rotate the motor 401 to rotate the frame 20. The label sucking component 30 is located at the label output position of the label output component 60 to suck labels through negative pressure. Rotate the motor 401 in the reverse direction to rotate the frame 20, lift the label sucking component 30 vertically upward. At the same time, the telescopic end of the moving power 501 extends to increase the distance between adjacent label sucking components 30. Then, the rotating cylinder 307 controls the label sucking component 30 to rotate 90°. The label sucking components 30 are arranged in parallel with each other. The manipulator moves the shaft cover into place and drives the shaft cover to descend. The flat label sucking part 302 enters the U-shaped groove of the shaft cover, and the suction hole 303 loses negative pressure, so that the label is pasted on the inner wall of the shaft cover. Then the manipulator moves upward, and the shaft cover is separated from the label sucking component 30. The rotating component 40 drives the frame 20 to rotate, and at the same time, the rotating cylinder 307 rotates the label sucking component 30 in the opposite direction. After the rotation is completed, the moving power 501 brings the label sucking components 30 closer together and continues to suck labels, and this cycle repeats. Through the automatic labeling machine provided by this application, multiple shaft covers can be pasted at one time, with high efficiency and labor saving.

[0053] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
