[0034] Example implementations will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example implementations may, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of example implementations to those skilled in the art.
[0035] Moreover, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the application. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the
[0036] The application will be further described with reference to the drawings and specific examples. It is to be understood that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the application, but should not be construed as limiting the application.
[0037] The labeling device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figures, the labeling device can include a base body 10, a carrying mechanism 11, a moving mechanism 12, and a labeling mechanism 13.
[0038] As shown in the figures, the carrying mechanism 11, the moving mechanism 12, and the labeling mechanism 13 can be arranged on the base body 10. By arranging the carrying mechanism 11, the moving mechanism 12, and the labeling mechanism 13 on the same base body 10, the labeling device can be formed as a whole. Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown in the figures, the carrying mechanism 11, the moving mechanism 12, and the labeling mechanism 13 can be arranged on the base body 10. By arranging the carrying mechanism 11, the moving mechanism 12, and the labeling mechanism 13 on the same base body 10, the labeling device can be formed as a whole.
[0039] For example, the bearing mechanism 11, the moving mechanism 12 and the labeling mechanism 13 are detachably connected with the base body 10, so that when the bearing mechanism 11, the moving mechanism 12 or the labeling mechanism 13 needs to be maintained due to problems, the mechanism needing to be maintained can be individually detached for repair or replacement, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of device maintenance. In addition, if the labeling device needs to be transferred to another workshop by a transport vehicle, the bearing mechanism 11, the moving mechanism 12 and the labeling mechanism 13 can be detached from the base body 10 and placed in the transport vehicle for transportation, and then assembled after being transferred to another workshop, so that the requirement for the accommodation volume of the transport vehicle can be reduced, thereby reducing the transportation cost.
[0040] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the moving mechanism 12 can include a grabbing structure 120 and a first driving structure 121. The grabbing structure 120 can grab the workpiece carried by the bearing mechanism 11, and the first driving structure 121 can be connected with the grabbing structure 120 to drive the grabbing structure 120 to rotate.
[0041] In detail, the grabbing structure 120 can have a connecting end and a grabbing end. The grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 can be configured to grab the workpiece carried by the bearing mechanism 11, and the connecting end of the grabbing structure 120 can be connected with the first driving structure 121.
[0042] For example, the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 can be designed with a suction cup. The suction cup can be connected with an air pump to generate negative pressure at the suction cup to grab the workpiece carried by the bearing mechanism 11. That is, the grabbing structure 120 of the present embodiment can use negative pressure to suck the workpiece, and grabbing and releasing can be achieved through simple negative pressure operation, which is simple and easy to realize automatic control. In addition, by using the principle of negative pressure, the workpiece can be gently sucked and grabbed, effectively avoiding damage to the precision workpiece, and it can also be suitable for workpieces of various materials and shapes.
[0043] It should be understood that the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is not limited to the way of using negative pressure to suck the workpiece, but can also use a mechanical type of clamping jaw to achieve grabbing and releasing by controlling the closing and opening of the clamping jaw. The specific method can be determined according to actual needs.
[0044] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the first driving structure 121 can include a first driving member 1210 and a first rotating shaft 1211. The first driving member 1210 can be connected with the first rotating shaft 1211. The first driving member 1210 is configured to drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 1211 is connected with the connecting end of the grabbing structure 120. The first rotating shaft 1211 is configured to drive the grabbing structure 120 to rotate in the process of rotating, so that the bottom of the workpiece grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 faces the labeling mechanism 13.
[0045] The first driving member 1210 is further configured to drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate after the labeling mechanism 13 completes labeling, so that the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is reset; the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is further configured to place the workpiece after labeling on the carrying mechanism 11 after being reset. That is, the carrying mechanism 11 can not only carry the workpiece to be labeled, but also can carry the workpiece after labeling; that is, when the workpiece needs to be labeled, the workpiece to be labeled can be transferred to the carrying mechanism 11; after the workpiece is labeled, the workpiece after labeling can be sent back to the carrying mechanism 11.
[0046] It should be understood that the first rotating shaft 1211 and the grabbing structure 120 can be located on the side of the carrying mechanism 11 away from the base 10.
[0047] For example, the first driving member 1210 can include a driving motor, and the rotating shaft of the driving motor can drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate through a belt (not shown in the figure) or a gear pair.
[0048] After the bottom of the workpiece grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 faces the labeling mechanism 13, the labeling mechanism 13 can be configured to label the bottom of the workpiece grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120.
[0049] In this embodiment, the workpiece carried on the carrying mechanism 11 is grabbed by the grabbing structure 120, and after being rotated by the first rotating shaft 1211, the bottom of the workpiece faces the labeling mechanism 13, and then the labeling mechanism 13 can be used for labeling. Compared with the manual labeling method, the process is simple and convenient, the work efficiency is higher, and the labor cost is saved.
[0050] In some embodiments, the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 can be configured to face the bottom of the workpiece grabbed from the carrying mechanism 11 to the labeling mechanism 13 after the first rotating shaft 1211 rotates 180°, so that after the labeling mechanism 13 completes labeling, the first driving member 1210 can drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to continue rotating 180° along the original rotating direction, so as to reset the workpiece after labeling.
[0051] For example, after the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 grabs the workpiece to be labeled from the carrying mechanism 11, the first driving member 1210 can drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate 180° in the first direction, so that the bottom of the workpiece to be labeled grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 faces the labeling mechanism 13; after the labeling mechanism 13 completes labeling, the first driving member 1210 can continue to drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate 180° in the first direction, so that the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is reset; then, the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is controlled to place the grabbed labeled workpiece on the carrying mechanism 11, which can reduce the driving complexity of the first rotating shaft 1211.
[0052] But not limited to this, after the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 grabs the workpiece to be labeled from the carrying mechanism 11, the first driving member 1210 can drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate 180° in the first direction, so that the bottom of the workpiece to be labeled grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 faces the labeling mechanism 13; after the labeling mechanism 13 completes labeling, the first driving member 1210 can drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate 180° in the second direction opposite to the first direction, so that the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is reset; then, the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is controlled to place the grabbed labeled workpiece on the carrying mechanism 11, which can reduce the driving complexity of the first rotating shaft 1211.
[0053] It should be noted that one of the first direction and the second direction is forward, and the other is reverse. In addition, the first direction and the second direction can occur in a vertical plane, that is, the first rotating shaft 1211 can rotate in a vertical plane.
[0054] In some embodiments, in order to avoid interference between the grabbing structure 120 and the carrying mechanism 11 during rotation, the first driving structure 121 of the embodiment can further include a fixed table 1212 and a second driving member 1213.
[0055] Wherein, both ends of the first rotating shaft 1211 are rotatably installed on the fixed table 1212, and the second driving member 1213 can be connected with the fixed table 1212 and configured to drive the fixed table 1212 to move towards or away from the carrying mechanism 11.
[0056] In detail, the second driving member 1213 can drive the fixed table 1212 to move towards the bearing mechanism 11, so as to drive the grabbing structure 120 to move towards the bearing mechanism 11, so that the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 grabs the workpiece to be labeled on the bearing mechanism 11; after the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 grabs the workpiece to be labeled, the second driving member 1213 can drive the fixed table 1212 to move away from the bearing mechanism 11, so as to drive the workpiece to be labeled grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 to move away from the bearing mechanism 11; after moving to a safe distance, the first driving member 1210 drives the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate by a first target angle (for example, 180°), so that the bottom of the workpiece to be labeled grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 faces the labeling mechanism 13; then, the labeling mechanism 13 labels the bottom of the workpiece to be labeled; after labeling is completed, the first driving member 1210 drives the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate by a second target angle (for example, 180°) again, so that the workpiece labeled grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is reset; then, the second driving member 1213 drives the fixed table 1212 to move towards the bearing mechanism 11, and the workpiece labeled is placed back on the bearing mechanism 11, so as to be cyclically repeated.
[0057] It should be noted that the aforementioned safe distance can be a distance set to prevent the workpiece to be labeled from colliding with the bearing mechanism 11 when the first rotating shaft 1211 rotates.
[0058] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12, the fixed table 1212 can be provided with a first rotating shaft 1211 and a first driving member 1210. Figure 3 In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12, the fixed table 1212 can be provided with a first rotating shaft 1211 and a first driving member 1210.
[0059] It should be noted that the mounting plate 1214 is not limited to being arranged on the side of the fixed table 1212 away from the bearing mechanism 11, but can also be arranged on the side of the fixed table 1212 close to the bearing mechanism 11, that is, the first rotating shaft 1211 can also be installed on the side of the fixed table 1212 close to the bearing mechanism 11, which can be determined according to actual conditions.
[0060] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 12, the fixed table 1212 can be provided with a first rotating shaft 1211 and a first driving member 1210. Figure 3As shown, the fixing table 1212 can be provided with a through hole 1215, which is configured to avoid the movement of the grabbing structure 120 and the workpiece on the grabbing structure 120 during the rotation of the first rotating shaft 1211. In detail, the first driving member 1210 drives the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate by a first target angle, and in the process of rotating to the first target angle, the workpiece to be labeled on the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 can first pass through the through hole 1215, and then the bottom of the workpiece to be labeled faces the labeling mechanism 13; after the labeling mechanism 13 completes labeling on the bottom of the workpiece to be labeled, the first driving member 1210 drives the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate by a second target angle again, and in the process of rotating to the second target angle, the workpiece to be labeled on the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 can first pass through the through hole 1215, and then complete the final reset.
[0061] For example, the second driving member 1213 can drive the fixing table 1212 by using a hydraulic driving mode, but is not limited thereto, and can also drive the fixing table 1212 by using a pneumatic or electric mode, as the specific case may require.
[0062] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the carrying mechanism 11 can include a carrying part 110, which is configured to carry the workpiece.
[0063] For example, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the carrying part 110 can be provided with a containing groove 1101, which is used to contain the workpiece. The shape of the containing groove 1101 can be designed according to the shape of the workpiece to be contained, that is, the containing groove 1101 can be a shaped groove matched with the shape of the workpiece, so that the containing groove 1101 can contain the workpiece while reducing the volume of the containing groove 1101, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire carrying part 110, and then facilitating the arrangement of more carrying parts 110 or leaving sufficient design space for other structures.
[0064] In some embodiments, the carrying mechanism 11 can include a second driving structure, which can be connected with the carrying part 110 and configured to drive the carrying part 110 to move between the feeding and discharging position A and the labeling position B, referring to Figure 4 As shown.
[0065] In detail, after the workpiece to be labeled is placed on the carrying part 110 at the loading and unloading position A, the second driving structure can drive the carrying part 110 carrying the workpiece to be labeled to move to the labeling position B; after the carrying part 110 carrying the workpiece to be labeled moves to the labeling position B, the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 can grab the workpiece to be labeled at the labeling position B; then, the first driving member 1210 can drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate, so that the bottom of the workpiece grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 faces the labeling mechanism 13, so as to facilitate subsequent labeling by the labeling mechanism 13; after the labeling mechanism 13 completes labeling, the first driving member 1210 can drive the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate, so that the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 resets and places the workpiece labeled on the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 on the carrying part 110 at the labeling position B; then, the second driving structure can drive the carrying part 110 carrying the labeled workpiece to move to the loading and unloading position A, so as to facilitate subsequent removal of the labeled workpiece.
[0066] In some embodiments, the second driving structure can include a carrying table 111 and a third driving member (not shown in the figure). Referring to Figure 3 As shown, the carrying part 110 can be mounted on the carrying table 111, and the third driving member can be connected with the carrying table 111 and configured to drive the carrying table 111 to rotate, so that the carrying part 110 moves between the loading and unloading position A and the labeling position B, that is, the carrying part 110 moves between the loading and unloading position A and the labeling position B in a rotating manner in the embodiment.
[0067] Among them, the carrying part 110 can be provided with multiple, and multiple carrying parts 110 can be mounted on the carrying table 111. For example: Figure 3 four, but not limited to this, but also can be provided with two, six and the like, depending on the specific circumstances, hereinafter will not be listed.
[0068] In some embodiments, when the carrying table 111 is provided with multiple carrying parts 110, the third driving member can drive the carrying table 111 to rotate, so that part of the carrying parts 110 on the carrying table 111 are located at the loading and unloading position A, and the other part are located at the labeling position B.
[0069] In detail, when the labeling device is in an initial idle state, the loading and unloading position A and the labeling position B both have the carrier 110 in an idle state. When the labeling device starts to work: first, the workpiece to be labeled can be placed on the carrier 110 at the loading and unloading position A; then, the third driving member is used to drive the carrier table 111 to rotate, so that the carrier 110 originally at the loading and unloading position A and the workpiece to be labeled accommodated therein are rotated to the labeling position B, and the carrier 110 originally at the labeling position B and in an idle state is rotated to the loading and unloading position A; then, the subsequent labeling process is performed on the workpiece to be labeled at the labeling position B, and other workpieces to be labeled are placed on the carrier 110 at the loading and unloading position A for standby; after the labeling of the workpiece at the labeling position B is completed and the carrier 110 at the loading and unloading position A is placed with other workpieces to be labeled, the third driving member can drive the carrier table 111 to rotate, so that the labeled workpiece is rotated to the loading and unloading position A, and the workpiece to be labeled is rotated to the labeling position B; then, the labeled workpiece at the loading and unloading position A is taken away, so that the carrier 110 at the loading and unloading position A is in an idle state; then, other workpieces to be labeled are placed on the carrier 110 at the loading and unloading position A for standby, and the cycle is repeated, thereby improving the production rhythm.
[0070] For example, the third driving member can be connected with the second rotating shaft (not shown in the figure) through the second rotating shaft, and the third driving member can drive the second rotating shaft to rotate, so as to drive the carrier table 111 to rotate.
[0071] For example, the third driving member can include a driving motor, and the rotating shaft of the driving motor can drive the second rotating shaft to rotate through a belt (not shown in the figure) or a gear pair.
[0072] It should be noted that the second rotating shaft can rotate in the horizontal plane. The axis of the second rotating shaft can pass through the axis of the carrier table 111.
[0073] For example, the third driving member can include a driving motor, and the rotating shaft of the driving motor can drive the second rotating shaft to rotate through a belt (not shown in the figure) or a gear pair.
[0074] In some embodiments, the loading and unloading position A and the labeling position B are each provided with at least two carriers 110. Correspondingly, the grabbing structure 120 can also be provided with at least two, and correspond to the carriers 110 at the labeling position B one by one, so that at least two workpieces to be labeled can be grabbed and flipped at the same time to improve the production rhythm of labeling.
[0075] In this way, when the bottom of the at least two workpieces to be labeled is directed towards the labeling mechanism 13, the labeling device can be used to label all the flipped workpieces one by one, or simultaneously, depending on the specific situation.
[0076] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the labeling mechanism 13 can include a fourth driving member 130 and a first mechanical hand 131, the fourth driving member 130 can be connected with the first mechanical hand 131, the fourth driving member 130 can drive the first mechanical hand 131 to move, and the first mechanical hand 131 can grab labels.
[0077] For example, the fourth driving member 130 can drive the first mechanical hand 131 that grabs labels to move to a side of the grabbing structure 120 away from the carrier mechanism 11, after the first driving member 1210 drives the first rotating shaft 1211 to rotate so that the bottom of the workpiece grabbed by the grabbing end of the grabbing structure 120 is directed towards the first mechanical hand 131, the fourth driving member 130 can drive the first mechanical hand 131 to move towards the workpiece to be labeled, so as to label the workpiece; after labeling is completed, the fourth driving member 130 can drive the first mechanical hand 131 to move to an area where labels are stored, and after grabbing new labels, the fourth driving member 130 can drive the first mechanical hand 131 to move to a side of the grabbing structure 120 away from the carrier mechanism 11, to perform subsequent labeling, and so on.
[0078] For example, the first mechanical hand 131 can be designed with a suction cup, and the suction cup can be connected with an air pump to generate negative pressure at the suction cup to grab labels. That is, the first mechanical hand 131 of the present embodiment can use negative pressure to suck labels.
[0079] It should be understood that the first mechanical hand 131 is not limited to the way of grabbing labels by using negative pressure adsorption, but can also use mechanical clamps to achieve grabbing and releasing by controlling the closing and opening of the clamps, which can be determined according to actual needs.
[0080] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the labeling device can further include a feeding and discharging mechanism 14. The feeding and discharging mechanism 14 is configured to transfer the workpiece to be labeled to the carrying mechanism 11, and the feeding and discharging mechanism 14 is further configured to transfer the workpiece on which labeling is completed on the carrying mechanism 11 to a target position. By using the feeding and discharging mechanism 14, the workpiece can be automatically fed and discharged, so that the production efficiency can be improved while the labor cost is reduced.
[0081] For example, the feeding and discharging mechanism 14 can transfer the workpiece to be labeled on the conveying belt (not shown in the figure) to the carrying part 110 at the feeding and discharging position A in an empty state, and the feeding and discharging mechanism 14 can grasp the labeled workpiece on the carrying part 110 at the feeding and discharging position A and return to the conveying belt.
[0082] In some embodiments, the feeding and discharging mechanism 14 can include a fifth driving member 140 and a second mechanical arm 141. The fifth driving member 140 can be connected with the second mechanical arm 141, and the fifth driving member 140 can drive the second mechanical arm 141 to move, and the second mechanical arm 141 can grasp the workpiece.
[0083] For example, in combination with the above-mentioned Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the fifth driving member 140 can first drive the second mechanical arm 141 to grasp the workpiece to be labeled on the conveying belt, then the fifth driving member 140 drives the second mechanical arm 141 grasping the workpiece to be labeled to move to the carrying part 110 at the feeding and discharging position A, then the second mechanical arm 141 can place the workpiece to be labeled on the carrying part 110 at the feeding and discharging position A, after the carrying part 110 at the feeding and discharging position A carries the labeled workpiece, the second mechanical arm 141 can grasp the labeled workpiece on the carrying part 110 at the feeding and discharging position A, then the fifth driving member 140 drives the second mechanical arm 141 grasping the labeled workpiece to move to the conveying belt, and the second mechanical arm 141 places the labeled workpiece on the conveying belt and is conveyed to the next process, then other unlabeled workpieces on the conveying belt are grasped, and the cycle is repeated.
[0084] For example, the second mechanical arm 141 can be designed with a suction cup which can be connected with an air pump to generate negative pressure at the suction cup to grasp the workpiece. That is, the second mechanical arm 141 of the present embodiment can use negative pressure to grasp the workpiece.
