[0042] The labeling frame 1 has a top plate 101 horizontally disposed on the upper portion of the labeling frame 1, a partition 102 disposed in the middle portion of the labeling frame 1, a label storage assembly disposed on the partition 102, and a power device disposed below the partition 102;

[0043] The conveying mechanism 2 is horizontally arranged on the labeling frame 1, and the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 2 is located directly below the top plate 101;

[0044] The robot 3 is arranged on the top plate 101 , and is used to take out the label in the label storage component and stick it on the outer wall of the carton. The power device provides power for the robot 3 .

[0045] It should also be noted that when in use, the packaged carton is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 2 to the bottom of the top plate 101, and the robot 3 takes out the corresponding label from the label storage component and sticks it on the outer wall of the carton. After completing the automatic labeling of the carton, the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the labeled carton to the next process.

[0046] Exemplarily, the label storage component includes multiple feeders 4, all of which are arranged in sequence. The feeder 4 includes a bracket 401, a material storage reel 402 and a material picking plate 403. The material storage reel 402 is installed on the bracket 401, and the bracket 401 is arranged on the partition 102. The labels on the material storage reel 402 are wound on the material picking plate 403.

[0047] It should also be noted that the label paper is usually wound on a specific film or core, which can effectively protect the label paper from external environmental influences, such as moisture, sunlight, high temperature, etc. This storage method also facilitates the use and distribution of the label paper.

[0048] When in use, the label paper roll is placed on the stock reel 402 , and then the label paper roll is stretched onto the corresponding take-up plate 403 for taking-up.

[0049] Exemplarily, the material taking plate 403 is provided with a plurality of material taking slots, and the length direction of the material taking slots is perpendicular to the length direction of the material storage drum 402 .

[0050] It should also be noted that the material trough is set to ensure that the robot has more operating space to grasp the label and ensure the success and efficiency of the grasping.

[0051] Exemplarily, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a driving device, a roller bed, and a plurality of conveying rollers. All the conveying rollers are evenly arranged horizontally on the roller bed. The driving device is used to drive all the conveying rollers to rotate.

[0052] It should also be noted that the driving device is driven by a motor, and all conveying rollers are located at the same height, so that the cartons can be transported smoothly.

[0053] Exemplarily, the positioning device includes a second driving device and two limiting brackets, the second driving device is arranged on the labeling frame 1, the second driving device is used to drive the two limiting brackets to move closer to or away from each other, the limiting bracket extends vertically from between two adjacent conveying rollers, and the upper end of the limiting bracket is also provided with a limiting baffle 5, and the limiting baffle 5 is parallel to the running direction of the carton.

[0054] It should also be noted that the second driving device is driven by a motor and is arranged below the conveying mechanism 2. The carton is positioned laterally by the proximity of two limit baffles 5 to ensure that the labeling position of the carton is accurate.

[0055] Exemplarily, the limiting baffle 5 is vertically arranged, and both sides of the limiting baffle 5 are horizontally bent outward.

[0056] It should also be noted that the limit baffle 5 is bent so that it can guide the carton when it contacts the carton, thereby avoiding obstruction of the conveying process of the carton due to the position of the limit baffle 5.

[0057] In one embodiment, the positioning device also includes a third drive device and a limit plate. The third drive device is arranged on the labeling frame 1. The third drive device is a motor. The third drive device is used to drive the limit plate to extend from between adjacent conveying rollers to longitudinally limit the cartons in transport.

[0058] Exemplarily, the feeder 4 further includes a plurality of auxiliary rollers 404 , and the auxiliary rollers 404 are used to recycle the adhesive tape on the stock reel 402 .

[0059] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the auxiliary roller 404 is to wrap the remaining tape around the auxiliary roller 404 for easy recycling after the robot completes the label removal work, so as to avoid the remaining tape affecting the labeling process. The auxiliary roller 404 can also be used to guide the remaining film.

[0060] Exemplarily, the robot includes a robotic arm and a material-picking mechanism, one end of the robotic arm is connected to the top plate 101, and the other end of the robotic arm is connected to the material-picking mechanism, and the robotic arm includes a plurality of connecting rods, all of which are hinged to each other in sequence.

[0062] Exemplarily, the material picking mechanism includes three material picking heads, which are arranged in a divergent manner on the robotic arm.

[0063] It should also be noted that each retrieving head can be set with a different label, which speeds up labeling efficiency. The design of multiple retrieving heads enables the labeling robot to process multiple labels simultaneously, thus greatly improving the degree of automation. This design reduces manual intervention and makes the production process smoother and more efficient.

[0064] Exemplarily, a reinforcing plate is further provided between the top plate 101 and the labeling frame 1 , wherein the reinforcing plate has a triangular structure and is provided at the connection between the top plate 101 and the labeling frame 1 .

[0065] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting up the reinforced plate is to improve the structural strength of the top plate 101, provide a stable and safe support structure for the installation of the robot 3, and avoid problems such as equipment deformation due to the robot's own weight during the production process.

[0066] The alarm 8 is used to show the current state of the device, and the alarm 8 is a three-color buzzer alarm, which is a device combining visual three-color light and audible buzzer alarm functions, and mainly functions to provide clear and intuitive alarm information, so that the user can quickly identify and respond to the state change or abnormal condition of the device.

[0067] Exemplarily, before the process of the application, an automatic flanging machine 9 and an encapsulating machine 10 are further arranged, which are used to automatically flange and encapsulate the carton, so that the carton is maintained in an encapsulated state when transported to the process.

[0068] In summary, the carton labeling machine can position the carton transported to the process by using the positioning device on the conveying mechanism 2, then take out the corresponding label from the label storage assembly by using the robot 3, and paste it on the outer wall of the carton, so as to complete the automatic labeling of the carton, and then convey the labeled carton to the next process by the conveying mechanism 2, thereby avoiding the problems of over-labeling or under-labeling caused by manual labeling, greatly reducing the operation strength of personnel, and reducing the cost of enterprises.

[0069] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principle and effect of the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought of the utility model should be covered by the claims of the utility model.
