[0027] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a labeling machine includes a frame 1, characterized in that the frame 1 is provided with a label feeding mechanism 2, a calibration mechanism 3, and a transportation mechanism 4 in sequence:

[0028] The label feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding assembly and a feeding platform 21. The feeding assembly has a feeding direction pointing to the surface of the feeding platform 21, and the feeding assembly is provided with at least two rollers adjacent to the ends of the feeding platform 21. The two rollers are staggered up and down, and are used to guide the feeding film 5 to warp and separate from the label 51 on the feeding film 5.

[0029] The calibration mechanism 3 includes a movable first detection portion and a movable second detection portion. The first detection portion is located below the first detection portion and the feeding platform 21, and the second detection portion is located above the feeding platform 21. The second detection portion is also provided with a positioning component that is connected to the label 51.

[0030] The transport mechanism 4 has a transport belt for placing a positioning fixture, on which a plurality of fixed hardware components are mounted.

[0031] The present invention provides a set of methods for mechanical labeling. During the entire process, the label feeding mechanism 2 separates the label 51 from the feeding film 5. The first detection part and the second detection part respectively locate the position of the label 51 and the hardware. In combination with the positioning component of the second detection part, the label 51 is moved to the hardware to achieve the bonding between the label 51 and the hardware. This labeling method replaces manual bonding and significantly improves both work efficiency and accuracy.

[0032] In the present invention, the two rollers are staggered up and down, and the specific feeding direction can improve the overall speed of labeling 51. No additional equipment such as a robot is required to separate the label 51 from the feeding film 5, thereby optimizing the production process.

[0033] Furthermore, a plurality of spaced-apart protrusions 21a are provided on the surface of the feeding platform 21; the purpose is to reduce the contact area between the label 51 and the feeding platform 21. The thickness of the label 51 is relatively thin, between 1-2 mm ±, and the label 51 is directly placed on the feeding platform 21 and is adhesively connected to the feeding platform 21. In order to reduce the difficulty of picking up, the protrusions 21a are provided and the spaced-apart distribution method reduces the contact area between the label 51 and the feeding platform 21, making it easier to remove the label 51.

[0034] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a driving motor 23, a transmission roller 24, and a feeding belt 25. The roller includes multiple transmission rollers 22. The transmission roller 24 is sleeved on the end of the transmission roller 22 and the motor shaft of the driving motor 23. The feeding platform 21 is sleeved on the above-mentioned transmission roller 24; the structure is simple and practical.

[0035] Furthermore, the first detection part includes a mounting base 31, a lens 32, a transparent platform 33, and a first CCD camera 34. The mounting base 31 is arranged on the surface of the frame 1, and the transparent platform 33, the lens 32, and the first CCD camera 34 are arranged on the mounting base 31 in sequence. The transparent platform 33 is made of glass.

[0036] Furthermore, the second detection part also includes a multi-axis linear moving mechanism 35 and a second CCD camera 36, ​​the positioning component is an adsorption platform 37, and the second CCD camera 36 and the adsorption platform 37 are both arranged on the output end of the multi-axis linear moving mechanism 35; the second CCD camera 36 and the adsorption platform 37 share the same linear moving mechanism, which is conducive to saving the use of multiple linear moving mechanisms.

[0037] Furthermore, the transport mechanism 4 includes a pair of spaced-apart conveyor belts 41. A support mechanism is provided between the two conveyor belts 41 to support the positioning fixture from below. Label 51 is not placed directly on the hardware. Instead, the multi-axis linear motion mechanism 35 operates to apply a pressing force to the positioning fixture via the adsorption platform 37. The two ends of the positioning fixture are located on the conveyor belts 41. To prevent the positioning fixture from deforming, the support mechanism provides a supporting force, preventing deformation while suspended. Specifically, the support mechanism includes a support cylinder 43 and a support block 44 located at the output end of the support cylinder 43.

[0038] Furthermore, it also includes a second linear moving mechanism 42, in which a conveyor belt 41 is connected to the output end of the second linear moving mechanism 42, for adjusting the distance between the two conveyor belts 41. Of course, this adjustment not only meets the size of the current positioning fixture, but also meets the size of other positioning fixtures of different sizes.

[0039] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning mechanism, which includes a positioning cylinder 46, a second mounting seat and a positioning block 48. The second mounting seat is arranged on the frame 1, and the positioning cylinder 46 is arranged on the second mounting seat. Moreover, the positioning cylinder 46 is located above the conveyor belt 41 connected to the second linear moving mechanism 42. The positioning block 48 is arranged on the output end of the positioning cylinder 46, and the output end of the positioning cylinder 46 has a direction of moving toward a conveyor belt 41; the positioning mechanism has a positioning effect, and the two conveyor belts 41 are respectively arranged on two support plates 44, and the support plate 45 has a height higher than the conveyor belt 41. The positioning cylinder 46 pushes the positioning block 48, so that the positioning block 48 pushes the positioning fixture to contact the side of one of the support plates 45, thereby achieving a positioning effect, and preventing the label 51 from shifting when the label 51 is affixed to the hardware.

[0040] In this specific embodiment, the roller further includes a pressing roller 26 .

[0041] The use process of this utility model:

[0042] The X direction is the moving direction of the feed film 5. When the feed film 5 moves to the first feed roller, the moving direction of the feed film 5 changes, and this change causes the feed film 5 to warp. The label 51 attached to the surface of the feed film 5 is separated from the feed film 5 due to this warping. Coincidentally, at the moment of separation, the label 51 is already partially loaded on the feed platform 21. As the feed film 5 continues to move, the label 51 moves toward the feed platform 21.

[0043] The multi-axis linear motion mechanism 35 controls the adsorption platform 37 to make the adsorption platform 37 adsorb the label 51 and move the label 51 above the first CCD camera 34. The first CCD camera 34 captures the position of the label 51 on the adsorption platform 37 and outputs the data to the host computer.

[0044] The multi-axis linear motion mechanism 35 drives the second CCD camera to move above the positioning fixture. The second CCD camera 36 takes a picture of a single hardware component. The picture data is transmitted to the host computer, which calculates the calibrated position data from the two sets of data. Based on this position data, the multi-axis linear motion mechanism 35 accurately delivers the label 51 to the hardware component.

[0045] Before attaching the label 51 , the positioning block 48 pushes the positioning fixture toward the support plate 44 , and the support plate 44 abuts against the positioning fixture.

[0046] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary engineering technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
