Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to a robot flexible automatic labeling and packing system. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent manufacturing is playing an increasingly important role in enterprise production. The use of intelligent automated equipment is a significant milestone for enterprises moving towards high-end development. This is aimed at reducing human resources, lowering production costs, and improving product quality.

[0003] For some single products that do not require assembly but need labeling, the conventional method is to first remove the injection-molded product, then apply the label through a single process, and then pack it into a box. On the one hand, when removing the product, manual assistance is needed to place the placement box in conjunction with the robotic arm for removal. At the same time, the placement box for products of different sizes or shapes also needs to be frequently changed manually, which is very troublesome. On the other hand, although there are automatic label peeling machines, the peeled labels still need to be applied manually. Overall, the efficiency and labor costs are relatively high.

[0004] In view of this, the applicant independently developed an automatic packing system, using a six-axis robot in conjunction with a label peeling machine and a packing station to achieve fully automated production. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a robotic flexible automatic labeling and packing system, including a multi-axis manipulator, a suction cup, a label peeler, and a packing station; the suction cup is fixed to the multi-axis manipulator; the label peeler is located on one side of the multi-axis manipulator, and the packing station is located on the other side of the multi-axis manipulator. The packing station includes an adjustable clamping mechanism for holding storage boxes. The adjustable clamping mechanism includes a fixed beam and at least two clamping plates vertically arranged on the fixed beam. At least one clamping plate is controlled by a drive cylinder to achieve reciprocating motion of the clamping plate along the length direction of the fixed beam.

[0006] As a further improvement, the suction cup includes a fixed plate, several adjustable fixing plates and several suction cup components. The fixed plate has several slots. The adjustable fixing plates can be adjusted and fixed in position on the slots by bolts. The suction cup components are fixed on the adjustable fixing plates.

[0007] As a further improvement, the adjustable clamping mechanism includes four clamping plates arranged side by side. Each end of the fixed beam is provided with a clamping plate driven by a drive cylinder. The drive cylinder is fixed to the fixed beam, and the push rod of the drive cylinder is connected to the clamping plate. The two clamping plates located at both ends of the fixed beam are provided with clearance holes for the fixed beam to pass through. Each clamping plate located at one end of the fixed beam cooperates with the adjacent clamping plate to clamp a storage box.

[0008] As a further improvement, it further includes a support frame, which includes two power distribution box racks and a robotic arm placement platform located between the two power distribution box racks. Each power distribution box rack is directly opposite a storage box, and the multi-axis robotic arm is fixed to the robotic arm placement platform.

[0009] As a further improvement, two positioning connecting rods are further connected between the support frame and the fixed beam.

[0010] As a further improvement, the label peeling machine is further mounted on a support platform, which is located on one side of the support frame and is arranged in a straight line with the support frame.

[0011] The robotic flexible automatic labeling and packing system provided by this utility model uses a packing station in conjunction with suction cups on a multi-axis robotic arm. On the one hand, it can effectively pick up the label paper from the label peeling machine using the suction cups, so that when picking up the injection-molded products from the injection molding machine, the label is first applied to the surface of the product, and then directly picked up to the packing station for placement. The whole process is highly automated, requires no manual intervention, and can greatly reduce the packing and labeling costs in the product production process. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A robotic flexible automatic labeling and packing system includes a multi-axis manipulator 10, a suction cup 20, a label peeler 30, and a packing station 40. The suction cup 20 is fixed to the multi-axis manipulator 10. The label peeler 30 is located on one side of the multi-axis manipulator 10, and the packing station 40 is located on the other side of the multi-axis manipulator 10. The packing station 40 includes an adjustable clamping mechanism 50 for holding storage boxes. The adjustable clamping mechanism 50 includes a fixed beam 51 and at least two clamping plates 52 vertically arranged on the fixed beam 51. At least one clamping plate 52 is controlled by a drive cylinder 53 to achieve reciprocating motion of the clamping plate 52 along the length direction of the fixed beam 51.

[0019] The entire process, through the combination of the packing station 40 and the suction cups 20 on the multi-axis robot arm 10, can effectively achieve the adsorption of the label paper on the label peeling machine 30 by the suction cups 20. This allows for the labeling of the injection-molded products from the injection molding machine, which is then directly adsorbed to the packing station 40 for placement. The whole process is highly automated, requires no manual intervention, and can greatly reduce the packing and labeling costs in the product production process.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 2 The suction cup 20 includes a fixed plate 21, several adjustable fixing pieces 22, and several suction cup components 23. The fixed plate 21 has several strip-shaped openings. The fixed plate 21 is generally square. The strip-shaped openings are mainly long strips in the main body and have rounded strips in the corners. The positions of the several adjustable fixing pieces 22 can be adjusted and fixed on the strip-shaped openings by bolts. The several suction cup components 23 are fixed on the several adjustable fixing pieces 22.

[0021] Its suction cup 20 can effectively and flexibly select the position of the suction cup according to the different shapes of products and the different labeling positions of the products. At the same time, the suction cup can also effectively achieve stable adsorption of thin and flat objects such as labels, avoiding label wrinkles. Finally, by first adhering the label to the product, the product is indirectly adsorbed by adsorbing the label for packing. The labeling action and adsorption packing action are integrated into one. The structural design is simple and ingenious, which can greatly improve the overall production efficiency.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 The adjustable clamping mechanism 50 includes four clamping plates 52 arranged side by side. Each end of the fixed beam 51 has a clamping plate 52 driven by a driving cylinder 53. The driving cylinder 53 is fixed to the fixed beam 51, and its push rod is connected to the clamping plate 52. The two clamping plates 52 at both ends of the fixed beam 51 have clearance holes for the fixed beam 51 to pass through. Each clamping plate 52 at one end of the fixed beam 51 cooperates with the adjacent clamping plate 52 to clamp a storage box. A reinforcing beam is further provided on one side of the two middle clamping plates 52 to improve the overall clamping strength.

[0023] The adjustable clamping mechanism 50, with its adjustable clamping plate 52, allows for effective adjustment of the clamping plate 52's position to accommodate storage boxes of different sizes required for different products. This achieves the effect of being suitable for storage boxes of different sizes. Furthermore, its dual-station setup significantly improves overall production efficiency. The robotic arm can fill one storage box while another is filled, and manual labor can replace the filled storage box and flexibly adjust the distance of the clamping plate 52 according to the size of the next storage box. This avoids the inefficiency caused by the robotic arm needing to stop and wait.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 The equipment further includes a support frame 60, which comprises two electrical box placement racks 61 and a robotic arm placement platform 62 located between the two electrical box placement racks 61. Each electrical box placement rack 61 is directly opposite a storage box. The multi-axis robotic arm 10 is fixed to the robotic arm placement platform 62. The injection molding machine is arranged parallel to the length direction of the support frame 60.

[0025] The support frame 60 adopts this spatial distribution, which on the one hand allows the more space-consuming electrical distribution box rack 61 and storage box to be placed facing each other, thereby reducing the overall footprint of the automated equipment; on the other hand, the injection molding machine, support frame 60 and storage box are arranged in three parallel rows in space, which can effectively match the multi-axis robot 10 set in the center, ensuring that the robot can reach the entire range of motion, and further improving the overall efficiency.

[0026] Furthermore, two positioning connecting rods 63 are further connected between the support frame 60 and the fixed beam 51. The positioning connecting rods 63 ensure the connection strength of the adjustable clamping mechanism 50 and prevent the product from being misplaced during the packing process.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 The label peeling machine 30 is further mounted on a support platform, which is located on one side of the support frame 60 and is arranged in a straight line with the support frame 60. On the one hand, the support platform of a certain height facilitates the robotic arm to pick up the label paper. On the other hand, the placement of the label peeling machine 30, in coordination with the placement of the injection molding machine and the packing station, can effectively ensure the smooth operation of the robotic arm.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
