Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automation equipment, and in particular relates to a multi-surface marking machine. Background Art

[0002] A marking machine is a device that prints specific marks on a product's surface using pneumatic, laser, or electro-erosion methods. However, when producing certain products that require marking on both the top and bottom surfaces, the products are carried on a carrier on the production line. Therefore, when the products are transported to a conventional marking station, the marking machine at that station cannot mark the surface of the product that contacts the carrier. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-surface marking machine to solve the technical problems described in the background technology.

[0004] A multi-sided marking machine includes a base plate, which is equipped with a transfer mechanism that can transfer products to both ends. A marking mechanism is arranged above one end of the transfer mechanism, and a flipping and lifting module is installed above the other end of the transfer mechanism. The flipping and lifting module drives the flipping and lifting plate, and a rotating drive module is installed on the flipping and lifting plate. The rotating drive module drives a rotating plate, and a clamping mechanism for clamping products is installed on the rotating plate.

[0005] The transfer mechanism transfers the flipped product back to the bottom of the marking mechanism so that the marking mechanism can mark the other side of the product. Therefore, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0006] 1. Since the product can be turned over, the marking mechanism can mark the surface where the product contacts the carrier;

[0007] 2. Since multiple surfaces of a product can be marked on the same device, the space occupied by the marking station can be reduced when used on the production line;

[0008] 3. Since multiple surfaces of a product can be marked on the same device, when it is applied to the production line, only one marking station needs to be set up to reduce the manufacturing cost of the production line.

[0009] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, it can be optionally combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom plate is provided with a stand located in the middle of the transfer mechanism, the stand is provided with a avoidance door for the transfer mechanism to pass through, the flip lift module is provided with one side of the stand, and the marking mechanism is provided with the other side of the stand;

[0011] According to the technical solution, since the clamping mechanism and the marking mechanism can be set at both ends of the transfer mechanism through one stand, the consumables required for preparing the double-sided marking machine package can be reduced to reduce the preparation cost of the equipment.

[0012] In some embodiments, the stand is equipped with a marking lifting module, the marking lifting module drives a marking lifting plate, and the marking mechanism is located on the marking lifting plate;

[0013] According to the technical solution, before the marking mechanism marks the product, the marking lifting module drives the marking lifting plate to drive the marking mechanism to rise and fall to adjust the distance between the marking mechanism and the product, so that the marking mechanism can mark the product delicately.

[0014] In some embodiments, the marking lifting plate is equipped with a marking transverse movement module, the marking transverse movement module drives a transverse movement plate, and the marking mechanism is installed on the transverse movement plate;

[0015] According to the technical solution, before the marking mechanism marks the product or during the marking process, the transfer mechanism drives the product to move along the longitudinal axis, and the marking transverse movement module drives the transverse movement plate to drive the marking mechanism to move along the transverse axis, thereby enabling the marking mechanism to mark different positions of the product.

[0016] In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism includes a transfer motor and a transfer slide rail. The transfer motor drives a transfer belt. A carrier fixedly connected to the transfer belt slides on the transfer slide rail. The carrier is used to place the product. The transfer motor drives the carrier to move back and forth under the marking mechanism and under the clamping mechanism via the transfer belt.

[0017] According to the technical solution, the transfer motor drives the transfer belt to drive the carrier to move on the transfer slide rail, so that after the marking mechanism completes marking on the top surface of the product, the carrier with the product is transferred to the bottom of the clamping mechanism for the clamping mechanism to clamp and turn the product over.

[0018] In some embodiments, a first in-position sensor is installed next to the transfer slide rail for sensing that the product is transferred to the position directly below the clamping mechanism;

[0019] According to the technical solution, when the transfer motor drives the transfer belt to drive the carrier to move on the transfer slide rail, the carrier of the product can be accurately transferred to the bottom of the clamping mechanism.

[0020] In some embodiments, a second in-position sensor is installed on the flip lift plate and is located above the clamp mechanism for aligning the clamp mechanism with the product;

[0021] According to the technical solution, after the transfer motor drives the transfer belt to drive the carrier to move on the transfer slide rail, the product can be accurately aligned with the clamping mechanism, so that the clamping mechanism can be stably and accurately placed on the periphery of the product for clamping after it descends.

[0022] In some embodiments, the clamp mechanism includes a cylinder for driving two clamping jaw fixing blocks to move closer to or apart from each other, the clamping jaw fixing block is provided with a quick-change block, and the clamping jaws are mounted on the quick-change block;

[0023] According to the technical solution, after the flip-up and lifting module drives the flip-up and lifting plate to descend, the two clamps are located beside the periphery of the product. Thereafter, the cylinder drives the two clamp fixing blocks to drive the two clamps to move closer to each other to clamp the product. When the cylinder drives the two clamp fixing blocks to drive the two clamps to move closer to each other and open, the clamps stop clamping the product. In addition, through the setting of the quick-change block, clamps of different shapes can be easily replaced to adapt to products of different shapes.

[0024] In some embodiments, the clamping jaws are provided with a high-strength rubber for contacting the product; according to the technical solution, when the two clamping jaws are brought close to each other to clamp the product, the damage to the product can be effectively reduced.
