[0002] The labeling is done on two sides of the box, which are opposite to each other. According to the automated production process, batches of boxes are transported forward along the roller conveyor line. When they arrive at the predetermined station, corresponding equipment is required to label both sides of the box. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem solved by the utility model is: how to label the two surfaces of a box on a conveyor line.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a double-sided labeling mechanism compatible with boxes of multiple specifications, comprising a roller conveyor line, a lifting blocking device arranged on the roller conveyor line, the roller conveyor line being equipped with a three-dimensional motion mechanism and a rotation mechanism, the three-dimensional motion mechanism comprising a vertical manipulator, a vertical guide column arranged parallel to the vertical manipulator, a horizontal manipulator connected to the vertical manipulator at one end and to the vertical guide column at the other end, a translation seat connected to the horizontal manipulator, a horizontal cylinder arranged on the translation seat, and a vacuum suction cup connected to the horizontal cylinder, the vertical manipulator, the vertical guide column and the horizontal manipulator forming a gantry frame, which spans the roller conveyor line;

[0005] The rotating mechanism includes a bracket arranged on one side of the roller conveyor line, a lifting mechanism installed on the top of the bracket, a rotating unit connected to the lifting mechanism, and a clamping claw assembly connected to the rotating unit. The clamping claw assembly is located above the roller conveyor line.

[0006] A roller conveyor line transports the box forward. When it reaches the predetermined workstation, the blocking block of the lifting device rises, preventing the box from moving forward. A vacuum suction cup picks up the label from the worker or feeder. Driven by the vertical and horizontal manipulators, the vacuum cup moves to the front of the box. The horizontal cylinder extends, attaching the label from the vacuum cup to the front of the box. When the vacuum cup returns to its original position to retrieve another label, the lifting mechanism drives the gripper assembly to descend, gripping the box. Driven by the lifting mechanism, the box rises. Driven by the rotation unit, the gripper assembly and the box rotate 180 degrees, bringing the original rear end of the box to the front. Driven by the lifting mechanism, the box falls onto the roller conveyor line, and the vacuum cup attaches another label to the original rear end of the box.

[0007] The utility model provides a mechanism capable of labeling two surfaces of a box on a conveyor line, and provides a hardware basis for automatically labeling the two surfaces of the box.

[0008] The lifting and blocking device includes a first lifting and blocking device and a second lifting and blocking device. The first lifting and blocking device is located in front of the second lifting and blocking device, and the distance between the first and second lifting and blocking devices is at least equal to the length of one box. When a batch of boxes advances along the roller conveyor line and a box at a predetermined position on the roller conveyor line needs to be labeled, the blocking block of the second lifting and blocking device needs to rise to block the box behind the box at the predetermined position. Then, the blocking block of the first lifting and blocking device needs to rise to block the box at the predetermined position, causing it to pause at the predetermined position. Afterwards, the box at the predetermined position is labeled and rotated.

[0009] Any lifting blocking device comprises a blocking vertical cylinder mounted on a roller conveyor line frame and a blocking block mounted on the blocking vertical cylinder. Driven by the blocking vertical cylinder, the blocking block moves up and down.

[0028] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6A double-sided labeling mechanism compatible with boxes of multiple specifications includes a roller conveyor line 10, a lifting and blocking device disposed on the roller conveyor line, and a three-dimensional motion mechanism 20 and a rotation mechanism 30. The three-dimensional motion mechanism includes a vertical manipulator 21, a vertical guide column 22 disposed parallel to the vertical manipulator, a horizontal manipulator 23 connected to the vertical manipulator at one end and the vertical guide column at the other end, a translation seat 24 connected to the horizontal manipulator, a horizontal cylinder 25 disposed on the translation seat, and a vacuum suction cup 26 connected to the horizontal cylinder. The vertical manipulator, the vertical guide column, and the horizontal manipulator form a gantry that spans the roller conveyor line 10. The rotation mechanism 30 includes a bracket 31 disposed on one side of the roller conveyor line, a lifting mechanism mounted on top of the bracket, a rotation unit 32 connected to the lifting mechanism, and a gripper assembly connected to the rotation unit. The gripper assembly is located above the roller conveyor line.

[0029] Wherein, both the vertical manipulator 21 and the horizontal manipulator 23 adopt a screw mechanism.

[0030] The lifting blocking device includes a first lifting blocking device 101 and a second lifting blocking device 102 . The first lifting blocking device is located in front of the second lifting blocking device. The distance between the first lifting blocking device and the second lifting blocking device is at least equal to the length of one box 90 .

[0031] like Figure 3 Any lifting blocking device includes a blocking vertical cylinder 11 installed on the roller conveyor line frame and a blocking block 12 installed on the blocking vertical cylinder.

[0032] like Figure 6 A top plate 331 is provided on the top of the bracket 31, and a guide sleeve is provided on the top plate. A guide rod 332 is fitted in the guide sleeve. The guide rod is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 333. The lifting plate is connected to the piston rod of the lifting vertical cylinder 33. The cylinder body of the lifting vertical cylinder is installed on the top plate; the rotating unit 32 is installed on the lifting plate.

[0033] The rotating unit 32 adopts a rotating cylinder, which is installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 333.

[0034] The clamping jaw assembly includes a first clamping jaw cylinder 341 and a second clamping jaw cylinder 342, a first clamping jaw 343 installed on the first clamping jaw cylinder, and a second clamping jaw 344 installed on the second clamping jaw cylinder.

[0036] Batches of boxes 90 advance along the roller conveyor line 10. When a box at a predetermined position on the roller conveyor line needs to be labeled, the blocking block 12 of the second lifting blocking device 102 rises to block the box behind the box that is already at the predetermined position. Afterwards, the blocking block of the first lifting blocking device 101 rises to block the box that is already at the predetermined position, causing it to pause at the predetermined position. The vacuum suction cup 26 absorbs the label 91 from the feeder 40. Driven by the vertical manipulator 21 and the horizontal manipulator 23, the vacuum suction cup 26 comes to the front of the box 90, and the horizontal cylinder 25 extends to stick the label 91 on the vacuum suction cup to the front of the box 90. When the vacuum suction cup 26 resets to take another label, the clamping jaw assembly descends under the drive of the lifting vertical cylinder 33, and the first clamping jaw 343 and the second clamping jaw 344 clamp the box 90. Driven by the lifting vertical cylinder 33, the box rises. Driven by the rotating unit 32, the gripper assembly and the box rotate 180 degrees, with the original rear side of the box in front. Driven by the vertical cylinder 33 for lifting, the box 90 falls on the roller conveyor line 10, and the vacuum suction cup 26 attaches another label to the original rear side of the box.
