DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the label supply device 2 is a label printer, which is a prior art in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] The labeling mechanism 3 includes two movable support frames 31 arranged on the top of the frame 1 and located on both sides of the label feeding device 2. The two movable support frames 31 are provided with movable beams 32 and hanging frames 33, wherein the movable beams 32 are slidably mounted on the two movable support frames 31, and the bottom of the hanging frame 33 is fixed with a transverse linear module 34 connected to the slide and the movable beam 32, so that the movable beam 32 can be moved transversely on the two movable support frames 31 by driving the transverse linear module 34.

[0032] The side of the moving beam 32 is fixed with a vertical linear module 35 located in front of the label feeding device 2, and the slide of the vertical linear module 35 is fixed with an L-shaped lifting plate 36. The back of the L-shaped lifting plate 36 is installed with a vertical rotating cylinder 37, and the rotating shaft of the vertical rotating cylinder 37 passes through the L-shaped lifting plate 36 and is installed with an L-shaped support plate 38. Specifically, the horizontal plate of the L-shaped lifting plate 36 is fixed on the slide of the vertical linear module 35, and the vertical rotating cylinder 37 is fixed at the bottom end of its vertical plate, thereby avoiding interference between the vertical rotating cylinder 37 and the vertical linear module 35. In addition, the length of the vertical plate of the L-shaped lifting plate 36 can make the equipment at its bottom end lowered out of the range of the vertical linear module 35, thereby avoiding the vertical linear module 35 from colliding with the packaging box during labeling. A horizontal rotating cylinder 39 is installed on the L-shaped support plate 38, and the rotating shaft of the horizontal rotating cylinder 39 passes through the L-shaped support plate 38 and is installed with a taking and pasting component 310.

[0033] With this design, the horizontal linear module 34 can be used to move the pick-up and labeling assembly 310 back and forth between the packaging box and the label supply device 2 , while the vertical linear module 35 can be used to lift the pick-up and labeling assembly 310 to a corresponding height.

[0034] When labeling the top of the packaging box, there is no need to use the vertical rotating cylinder 37.

[0035] When labeling the side of the packaging box, after completing the above-mentioned label removal work, the vertical rotating cylinder 37 is used to move the pick-up and labeling assembly 310 to be parallel to the side of the packaging box, and then the vertical linear module 35 is used to lower the pick-up and labeling assembly 310 to the height of the labeling position, and finally the horizontal linear module 34 is used to move the movable pick-up and labeling assembly 310 to the side of the packaging box to complete the labeling. When removing the label again, the horizontal linear module 34 is used to move the pick-up and labeling assembly 310 away, and the vertical rotating cylinder 37 is used to rotate the pick-up and labeling assembly 310 to a horizontal posture, and then the above-mentioned label removal work is repeated.

[0036] Furthermore, the picking and applying component 310 includes a transverse rotating plate 3100 fixed on the rotating axis of the transverse rotating cylinder 39, and a pushing telescopic cylinder 3101 is installed at the end of the transverse rotating plate 3100.

A plurality of suction nozzles 3103 for sucking labels are provided on the picking and applying portion 3102. The pushing telescopic cylinder 3101 can be extended and retracted in a short stroke to complete the refined control of label picking and labeling. The suction nozzle 3103 is used to suck the label to complete the label transfer work.

[0037] It should be noted that the linear modules in this embodiment are all screw linear modules, the suction nozzle 3103 is connected to the vacuum generator through an air pipe, and the pushing telescopic cylinder 3101 is a pneumatic cylinder.

[0038] Furthermore, the movable support frame 31 includes a bottom beam 311 fixed to the top of the frame 1 by bolts, and the top of the bottom beam 311 is fixed with vertical poles 312 at both ends thereof, and the top ends of the two vertical poles 312 are fixed with a movable support beam 313 extending to the front of the label feeding device 2, and a diagonal support rod 314 is arranged between the bottom of the movable support beam 313 and the vertical pole 312 located on the outside, and the diagonal support rod 314 can effectively improve its support stability.

[0039] The bottom beam 311 , the vertical pole 312 , the vertical pole 312 and the diagonal brace 314 are fixed by welding, and the movable support frame 31 is in the shape of a “P” with its side tilted.

[0040] Furthermore, a slide rail 315 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable support beam 313 , and the movable beam 32 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 315 , so that the movable beam 32 can slide stably thereon.

[0041] Furthermore, the lifting frame 33 includes two C-shaped frames 330 mounted on the top of the two mobile support frames 31, and the two ends of the C-shaped frames 330 are respectively fixed on the top of the two mobile support beams 313.

The connecting beam 331 is fixed between the two C-shaped frames 330 by welding, and the horizontal linear module 34 is fixed below the connecting beam 331 by bolts.

[0042] Furthermore, the frame 1 includes a base 101. In this embodiment, two support columns 102 are fixed on the top of the base 101, and a mounting platform 103 for mounting the label supply device 2 and the labeling mechanism 3 is fixed on the top of the two support columns 102. The base 101, the support columns 102 and the mounting platform 103 are fixed by welding.

[0043] In addition, diagonal support columns 104 are welded between the bottom of the mounting platform 103 and the two support columns 102 to improve the weighing capacity of the mounting platform 103 .

[0044] Furthermore, universal wheels 5 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 101. The universal wheels 5 are universal wheel structures with brakes, which can meet the needs of moving and stopping the device.
