A first material cart 4 is placed in front of the first handling robot 2. The labeling unit 5 includes a conveying platform 502, a visual inspection camera 503, and a marking machine 501. The conveying platform 502 is an existing conveyor belt structure. The marking machine 501 is installed in front of the conveying platform 502. The visual inspection camera 503 is installed above the conveying platform 502. The second handling robot 7 is on the right side of the marking machine 501. A transfer table 6 is provided at the rear end of the second handling robot 7. The transfer table 6 is on the right side of the conveying platform 502. Several storage bins 10 are provided on the rear side of the base frame 1. A sorting robot 9 is provided between the base frame 1 and the storage bin 10. The sorting robot 9 transports the materials on the transfer table 6 to the storage bin 10 for storage. A second material cart is placed on the front side of the second handling robot 7. The first material cart 4 is used to place the material tray to be labeled, and the second material cart is used to place the material tray after labeling. The first material cart 4 and the second material cart have the same structure. The front end of the first handling robot 2 is equipped with a lifting drive 3 to lift the material string 11 on the first material cart 4. The front end of the second handling robot 7 is provided with the same lifting drive 3 for lifting the material string 11 on the second material cart. The lifting drive 3 includes a mounting frame 301, a first motor 302, a screw 303 and a lifting plate 304. The first motor 302 is fixed above the mounting frame 301 and driven by the screw 303. The screw 303 is installed in the mounting frame 301 along the vertical direction. The lifting plate 304 is arranged along the horizontal direction and one end of it is threadedly mounted with the screw 303 through a nut 305. When loading operation is required, the lifting plate 304 on the lifting drive 3 is inserted under the material string 11 to support the bottom of the material tray. As the first handling robot 2 continues to carry out the handling operation, the height of the lifting plate 304 is continuously increased to use the first handling robot 2 to clamp the material tray; on the contrary, when unloading operation is performed, the lifting plate 304 is continuously lowered as the second handling robot 7 continuously places the material tray on the second material car until the corresponding number of products are placed on the material string 11.
[0020] The first handling robot 2 includes a first multi-axis robot arm 201 and a first material clamping assembly 202. The first material clamping assembly 202 is installed on the power output end of the first multi-axis robot arm 201 and is used to clamp and transport the material tray on the first material cart 4.
[0021] The first clamping assembly 202 includes a first double-ended cylinder 202-1. The two telescopic ends of the first double-ended cylinder 202-1 are each equipped with a first insert arm 202-2. The first insert arms 202-2 are arranged in a vertical direction and inserted into the center hole of the material tray. The bottom ends of the first insert arms 202-2 are provided with a tapered guide surface 202-3. When the material tray needs to be transported, the two first insert arms 202-2 of the first clamping assembly 202 are inserted into the center hole of the material tray. The first double-ended cylinder 202-1 drives the two first insert arms 202-2 to move in opposite directions, that is, the two first insert arms 202-2 are tightly against the inner wall of the center hole of the material tray. The first multi-axis robot arm 201 then places the clamped material tray on the conveying platform 502 for photo inspection and labeling operations.
[0022] The second handling robot 7 includes a second multi-axis robot arm 701, a second gripping assembly 702, and a labeling assembly 703.

The second gripping assembly 702 and the labeling assembly 703 are installed at the left and right ends of the connecting plate respectively. The second gripping assembly 702 has the same structure as the first gripping assembly 202. The second handling robot 7 is responsible for the back-and-forth operation between labeling and product handling.
[0023] The labeling component 703 includes a mounting base 703-1. A vacuum adsorption nozzle 703-2 is installed on the front side of the mounting base 703-1 for adsorbing labels. A visual positioning camera 703-3 is installed on one side of the vacuum adsorption nozzle 703-2 for locating the labeling position.
[0024] Workflow: The material tray to be labeled is placed on the first material cart 4. After the material tray is clamped by the first handling robot 2, it is placed on the conveying platform 502. The visual inspection camera 503 above the conveyor line takes pictures, analyzes and reads the data, and then prints the label. The second handling robot 7 grabs the label for labeling. After labeling, it can be placed on the transfer table 6 and transported by the sorting robot 9 to the storage bin 10. The labeled material tray can also be directly placed on the material string 11 of the second material cart by the second handling robot 7 for stacking.
[0025] Compared with the existing technology, the automatic labeling and storage equipment of the present application has a compact layout, can realize the automation of the labeling process of the material tray, improves the labeling efficiency and ensures the consistency and stability of the labeling quality. The sorting robot can be used to stack and store the labeled material trays, realize the integrated labeling and storage operation process, and fully meet the needs of actual industrial production.
