[0043] The label outlet 212 is provided through the front fixing plate and communicates with the label guiding cavity.

[0044] Furthermore, a plurality of groups of intercepting paddles 214 are provided around the label outlet 212 to prevent the next label from being dragged out, so as to ensure that the label picking mechanism 22 picks up one label at a time.

[0045] Furthermore, the rear fixing plate is arranged at a height greater than that of the front fixing plate, so that the label outlet direction of the label bin is tilted downward.

[0046] Preferably, the label push plate 211 includes an integrally formed push plate body and a guide slider;

[0047] A guide through hole is provided through the guide slider for the limit rod 213 to pass through. The guide slider is installed on the limit rod 213 through the guide through hole so that the push plate body can be movably set in the label guide cavity; specifically, when the label is fed in the label guide cavity, the guide slider moves along the limit rod 213 so that the push plate body pushes the label in the label guide cavity to continuously approach the label outlet 212 to realize the label feeding operation.

[0048] Furthermore, a plurality of groups of limiting grooves for limiting the limiting rods 213 are provided on the peripheral side of the push plate body, so as to effectively improve the pushing reliability and stability of the push plate body.

[0049] Furthermore, the length of the limiting rod 213 located at the top of the label guiding cavity is shorter than the lengths of the other limiting rods 213 , so that a label feeding port for feeding labels is formed between the limiting rod 213 and the rear fixing plate.

[0059] When the utility model is working, it includes the following steps:

[0060] (1) A label is fed into the label guide cavity from the label feed port. Under the pushing action of the label push plate 211, the label continuously approaches the label outlet 212 to realize the label feeding operation;

[0061] (2) The flip mechanism 25 drives the label picking mechanism 22 toward the label outlet 212.

[0062] At the same time, the Y-direction moving mechanism 24 drives the label picking mechanism 22 to move along the Y-direction. When the first proximity switch senses that the first movable base is approaching, the label picking mechanism 22 is driven to pick up the label to implement the label picking operation.

[0063] (3) The X-direction moving mechanism 23 drives the label picking mechanism 22 to move in the opposite direction along the X-direction. At this time, the label picking mechanism 22 picks up the label and moves away from the label outlet 212;

[0064] (4) The flipping mechanism 25 drives the label taking mechanism 22 to rotate 180° to move away from the label outlet 212. When the fourth proximity switch senses that the sensor sheet is approaching, the X-direction moving mechanism 23 drives the label taking mechanism 22 to move along the X-direction.

[0065] At the same time, the Y-direction moving mechanism 24 drives the label taking mechanism 22 to move in the Y-direction reverse direction. When the second proximity switch senses that the first movable base is approaching, the label taking mechanism 22 is driven to release the label to realize the label unloading operation.

[0066] The design of the utility model is reasonable and ingenious. Based on the supporting arrangement of the label storage mechanism and the label picking mechanism, the independence and consistency of the label storage and label picking operations are optimized, and based on the use of the X-axis moving mechanism and the Y-axis moving mechanism, the label picking mechanism is driven to quickly reach the specified position, and then the flipping mechanism picks up the label and flips it over to unload the material; wherein, according to actual production needs, the setting quantity of the label bin and the label picking component can be set by oneself, and the control quantity of the flipping mechanism on the label picking mechanism can also be set by oneself, so as to meet the needs of large-scale label picking and improve the efficiency of label picking.
