[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It is hereby declared that the up, down, left, right, front, back, inner and outer directions appearing or about to appear in the text of the present application are based on the drawings of the present application, and are not specific limitations of the present application.
[0032] Referring to Figures 1-5The utility model discloses a kind of labeling equipment, including rack 1, transverse moving mechanism, longitudinal moving mechanism, printer 2, labeling support arm 3 and labeling device 4, the printer 2, labeling support arm 3 and labeling device 4 are installed on rack 1 by transverse moving mechanism, and can move back and forth along rack 1;The labeling device 4 is installed on labeling support arm 3 by longitudinal moving mechanism, and can move back and forth along labeling support arm 3, so that labeling device 4 is away from or close to printer 2.
[0033] One end of the labeling support arm 3 is connected with the transverse moving mechanism, and the other end is a free end.
[0034] The labeling device 4 includes a labeling drive mechanism 41 connected with the longitudinal moving mechanism and a suction cup 42 connected with the labeling drive mechanism 41, and the suction cup 42 is correspondingly arranged with the printer 2. Specifically, the suction cup 42 is provided with an adsorption surface 421, the adsorption surface 421 is provided with an air suction hole 422, and the adsorption surface 421 is correspondingly arranged with the printer 2. The paper outlet 21 and the first air nozzle 22 of the printer 2 are correspondingly arranged with the adsorption surface 421.
[0035] The labeling equipment is independently arranged, and cutting and labeling can be performed simultaneously without affecting each other, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency. The labeling device and the printer are separately arranged, the printer is installed on the rack by the transverse moving mechanism, and the labeling device moves back and forth along the labeling support arm by the longitudinal moving mechanism, so that the labeling device is away from or close to the printer. That is, the labeling device and the printer can be separated, the printer prints labels, the labeling device adsorbs the labels, and moves along the labeling support arm under the driving of the longitudinal moving mechanism to reach the position where labeling is needed for labeling. This structure avoids synchronous movement of the printer and the labeling device, reduces the weight that the labeling support arm needs to bear, and thus one end of the labeling support arm is connected with the transverse moving mechanism, and the other end can be a free end, which saves the arrangement of supporting feet, saves costs, and also provides space for workers to approach the plate for operation and processing.
[0036] In addition, in the existing labeling equipment, the printer blows the printed labels to the suction cup of the labeling head, the suction cup adsorbs the labels and then transports them to the position where labeling is needed for labeling. However, in this process, the labels may not be blown to the labeling head, the labeling head may not adsorb the labels, but the labeling head will still continue the next action, which causes labeling failure, wastes resources, and reduces production efficiency.
[0037] Further, as Figure 5As shown, the suction cup 42 is provided with a detection hole 423, and a position sensor (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the detection hole 423, which is used to detect whether the label is present on the suction cup 42. Preferably, the position sensor is a laser sensor, which uses laser technology to measure the distance between the suction surface and the label, so as to ensure that the label is effectively obtained by the suction cup, avoid invalid labeling, save resources, and improve production efficiency. The laser sensor can be a laser sensor of the model LTD-05100PO of the brand of Loshida.
[0038] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 5 The labeling device 4 further comprises a suction mechanism (not shown in the figure) for suction of the label. The suction cup 42 is provided with a second air nozzle 424 which is in communication with the air suction hole 422, and the second air nozzle 424 is connected with the suction mechanism. The suction mechanism is preferably a vacuum generator. When the position sensor detects that the distance between the suction surface and the label is within a preset range, the position sensor sends a signal to the control system, and the control system starts the electromagnetic valve, and the suction mechanism generates negative pressure through the second air nozzle, so as to make the label be suctioned on the suction surface, thereby ensuring that the label is effectively obtained by the labeling device and guaranteeing effective labeling.
[0039] Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figures 4-5 The labeling device 4 further comprises a suction cup mounting frame 43 and a pressing assembly, and the labeling driving mechanism 41, the suction cup mounting frame 43, the pressing assembly, and the suction cup 42 are sequentially connected. The pressing assembly comprises a guide rod 44 and an elastic component 45 which is sleeved on the guide rod 44. One end of the guide rod 44 is fixedly connected with the suction cup mounting frame 43, and the two ends of the elastic component 45 are respectively connected with the suction cup mounting frame 43 and the suction cup 42. The elastic component 45 is preferably a spring. The suction cup mounting frame plays a supporting role, the guide rod plays a role of guiding the extension direction of the elastic component, and the elastic component makes the suction cup generate a flexible force on the plate, so as to avoid a large collision force between the suction cup and the plate.
[0040] The extension directions of the rack 1 and the labeling support arm 3 are perpendicular to each other. The transverse moving mechanism drives the printer, the labeling support arm, and the labeling device to move in the transverse direction of the rack, and the longitudinal moving mechanism drives the labeling device to move in the longitudinal direction of the labeling support arm, so as to realize the XY-axis movement of the labeling device and drive the labeling device to reach a designated labeling position.

The lateral guide rail is arranged along the extension direction of the rack, so that the lateral slide moves back and forth along the extension direction of the rack, thereby driving the printer, the labeling support arm and the labeling device to move back and forth along the extension direction of the rack, that is, to move laterally. It should be noted that the lateral driving mechanism can also drive the lateral slide to move by using existing transmission modes, as long as the purpose of driving the lateral slide to move can be achieved.

The longitudinal guide rail is arranged along the extension direction of the labeling support arm, so that the longitudinal slide moves back and forth along the extension direction of the labeling support arm, thereby driving the labeling device to move back and forth along the extension direction of the labeling support arm, that is, to move longitudinally. It should be noted that the longitudinal driving mechanism can also drive the longitudinal slide to move by using existing transmission modes, as long as the purpose of driving the longitudinal slide to move can be achieved.
[0043] Preferably, the labeling driving mechanism 41 is a pneumatic cylinder, which can drive the suction cup 42 to move up and down. When the labeling driving mechanism drives the suction cup to move downward, the suction surface of the suction cup contacts the plate and the label is attached to the plate, realizing labeling. The labeling driving mechanism drives the suction cup to move upward, that is, the labeling is completed, and the next labeling operation is entered.
[0044] Still further, as shown in Figures 1-3As shown, the utility model also includes conveying device, conveying device sets up below labelling support arm 3.
