[0028] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1As shown, an automatic label-applying device includes a worktable 100. A first translation mechanism 200 is provided at the bottom of the worktable 100, which can drive the worktable 100 to move simultaneously along the X-axis and Y-axis in the horizontal direction. A support plate 300 is provided above the worktable 100, which is used to support a substrate 10 with a label attached. A winding mechanism 400 is provided on one side of the support plate 300, which is used to transport the substrate 10 with the label attached to the support plate 300. A suction mechanism 500 is provided on the support plate 300, which is used to pick up the label on the substrate 10 and move it above the worktable 100.

[0030] In this embodiment, the product to be labeled is first placed on the worktable 100. The first translation mechanism 200 moves the worktable 100 horizontally along the X and Y axes to a preset position. Then, the winding mechanism 400 sequentially conveys the substrate 10 with the label to the support plate 300. Next, the suction mechanism 500 is activated to pick up the label from the substrate 10 and move it above the worktable 100. Finally, the label is affixed to the product on the worktable 100.

[0031] Compared with existing technologies, in the label application process of this application, only manual placement of the product to be labeled on the worktable 100 is required, and all other work is completed automatically, which greatly improves work efficiency and saves labor costs. In addition, this application uses the first translation mechanism 200 to drive the worktable 100 to move horizontally along the X and Y axes, thereby cooperating with the suction mechanism 500 to allow the label to move to the preset position more quickly, thereby further improving the label application efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first translation mechanism 200 includes a horizontally arranged X-axis moving device 210 and a Y-axis moving device 220. The Y-axis moving device 220 is located on top of the X-axis moving device 210 and can move along the direction set by the X-axis moving device 210. The worktable 100 is located on top of the Y-axis moving device 220 and can move along the direction set by the Y-axis moving device 220. When the first translation mechanism 200 is activated, the Y-axis moving device 220 moves along the X-axis direction set by the X-axis moving device 210, and the worktable 100 moves along the Y-axis direction set by the Y-axis moving device 220, thereby enabling the worktable 100 to move simultaneously along the X-axis and Y-axis in the horizontal direction.

[0033] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the X-axis moving device 210 includes a first rotary motor 211, a first transmission lead screw 212 connected to the drive end of the first rotary motor 211, and a first sliding seat 213 sleeved on the first transmission lead screw 212. The first sliding seat 213 and the first transmission lead screw 212 are connected by a lead screw. When the first rotary motor 211 starts, it drives the first transmission lead screw 212 to rotate, thereby driving the first sliding seat 213 to move along the first transmission lead screw 212. The Y-axis moving device 220 is mounted on the first sliding seat 212. 3. The Y-axis moving device 220 includes a second rotary motor 221. A second transmission screw 222 is connected to the drive end of the second rotary motor 221. A second sliding seat 223 is sleeved on the second transmission screw 222. The second sliding seat 223 and the second transmission screw 222 are connected by a screw. When the second rotary motor 221 is started, it drives the second transmission screw 222 to rotate, thereby driving the second sliding seat 223 to move along the second transmission screw 222. The worktable 100 is disposed on the second sliding seat 223.

[0034] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, parallel first guide rails 214 are provided on both sides of the first transmission screw 212 and the second transmission screw 222. The bottoms of the first sliding seat 213 and the second sliding seat 223 are both engaged with the first guide rails 214. The first guide rails 214 can play a guiding role during the movement of the first sliding seat 213 and the second sliding seat 223.

[0035] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the winding mechanism 400 includes a winding reel 410, a feeding roller assembly 420, a first guide roller 430, and a second guide roller 440. The winding reel 410 loads a roll of substrate 10 with a label attached. The feeding roller assembly 420 includes a first feeding cylinder 421 and a second feeding cylinder 422 that are side-to-side attached to each other. The substrate 10 is led out of the winding reel 410, passes between the first feeding cylinder 421 and the second feeding cylinder 422, and then passes sequentially through the first guide roller 430, the support plate 300, and the second guide roller 440 before returning to the winding reel 410. The second feeding cylinder 422 is connected to a third rotary motor 450. The third rotary motor 450 drives the second feeding cylinder 422 to rotate, thereby enabling the entire substrate 10 to be conveyed between the winding reel 410, the feeding roller assembly 420, the first guide roller 430, the support plate 300, and the second guide roller 440.

[0036] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the substrate 10 passes over the top of the first guide roller 430, then travels around the bottom of the support plate 300 to the top of the support plate 300, and finally returns to the reel 410 after passing over the bottom of the second guide roller 440. In this way, the substrate 10 travels half a turn around the support plate 300. Therefore, when the suction mechanism 500 picks up the label from the substrate 10, the substrate 10 will be excessively tilted upwards due to the obstruction of the support plate 300, allowing the suction mechanism 500 to better remove the label from the substrate 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a limiting block 460 is also provided between the support plate 300 and the second guide roller 440. The substrate 10 passes through the limiting block 460, so that when the suction mechanism 500 picks up the label on the substrate 10, the limiting block 460 can better restrict the substrate 10 from tilting upward.

[0038] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the suction mechanism 500 includes a second translation device 510 and a lifting device 520. The lifting device 520 is mounted on the second translation device 510. The second translation device 510 can drive the lifting device 520 to move horizontally. Several suction cups 530 are provided at the bottom of the lifting device 520. When the substrate 10 with the label attached is conveyed to the support plate 300, the lifting device 520 drives the suction cups 530 to pick up the label from the substrate 10. Then, the second translation device 510 drives the lifting device 520 to translate, move away from above the support plate 300, and move to above the worktable 100. The lifting device 520 drives the suction cups 530 to attach the label to the product on the worktable 100.

[0039] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second translation device 510 includes a fourth rotary motor 511, a third transmission screw 512 is connected to the drive end of the fourth rotary motor 511, a third sliding seat 513 is sleeved on the third transmission screw 512, and the third sliding seat 513 and the third transmission screw 512 are connected by a screw. When the fourth rotary motor 511 is started, it drives the third transmission screw 512 to rotate, thereby driving the third sliding seat 513 to move along the third transmission screw 512. The lifting device 520 is installed on the third sliding seat 513.

[0040] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting device 520 includes a connecting seat 521, a lifting cylinder 522 is provided on the top of the connecting seat 521, a connecting plate 523 is provided at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 522, and a suction cup 530 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 523.

[0041] The details of the above exemplary embodiments are provided, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
