The sealing cover plate 2 also has through holes III in the same number and distribution as the through holes II. Each through hole II and the through hole III in the same position are aligned and form a group of through holes. An internal hex bolt 3 is installed in each group of through holes.

[0028] The adsorption assembly also includes a suction block 14 and an O-ring strip 16. In the adsorption assembly, an irregular groove is provided on the top surface of the suction block base 1 as an air chamber. The suction block 14 is provided below the air chamber.

[0029] In the adsorption assembly, an O-ring strip 16 is provided between the top surface of the suction block base 1 around the gas chamber and the bottom surface of the sealing cover plate 2. The O-ring strip 16 seals the lower end surface of the suction block base 1 and the upper end surface of the sealing cover plate 2, so that the groove forms a relatively sealed gas chamber.
[0030] The suction block 14 has several air channels inside, which are the same number and the same distribution as the internal channels of the suction block base 1. Each air channel is aligned with each internal channel to allow gas to flow.
[0031] The sliding assembly includes a square slide rail 11 and a locking bolt 15; a square slide rail 11 is movably inserted into the square through hole on the upper end face of the cylinder connecting seat 5 in the cylinder assembly. The square slide rail 11 is fixed and the side of the square slide rail 11 is connected to the inner circumferential surface of the square through hole. The upper end of the locking bolt 15 is connected to the threaded hole opened at the lower end of the square slide rail 11, and the diameter of the lower end of the locking bolt 15 is larger than the diameter of the square through hole.
[0032] The suction assembly includes a vacuum suction tube 10 and an air pipe connector 13. A threaded hole III, corresponding to the circular through hole of the cylinder connecting seat 5, is provided on the upper surface of the sealing cover plate 2. An air pipe connector 13 is installed inside the threaded hole III. The lower end of the vacuum suction tube 10 is fixedly connected to the air pipe connector 13, and the upper end of the vacuum suction tube 10 passes upward through the circular through hole of the cylinder connecting seat 5 and connects to the output end of an external vacuum pump. The air pipe connector 13 communicates with the air chamber on the top surface of the suction block base 1. The lower port of the air pipe connector 13 faces the area outside the internal channel of the suction block base 1, ensuring uniform air pressure throughout the air chamber.
[0033] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown,
[0034] When the equipment is running, the vacuum suction tube intermittently draws air into the sealed space formed by the suction block base and the sealing cover plate. The printed label, which has been automatically fed into the lower end of the suction block, is firmly sucked in. The cylinder push rod 9 moves downward, which drives the tooling mechanism, including the cylinder connecting seat 5, the sealing cover plate 2, and the suction block base 1, to move downward, automatically affixing the label to the product. After labeling, the cylinder push rod 9 drives the tooling mechanism to return to its original position. The compression return and springback automatic return achieves complete automatic label affixing.
[0035] More specifically, during product assembly, the product is placed directly below the suction block 14. The assembly line equipment automatically prints a product label and pushes the label below the suction block 14. Air is drawn into the sealed chamber formed by the suction block base 1 and the sealing cover 2 through the vacuum suction tube 10. Once the air pressure in the chamber is lower than atmospheric pressure, the label is adsorbed onto the lower surface of the suction block 14. The cylinder push rod 9 moves the cylinder connecting seat 5 downwards along the square slide rail 11, simultaneously moving the suction block 14 downwards until the label adheres to the product surface. The cylinder push rod 9 then continues to press down, compressing the compression return spring 4 and the suction block 14, thus pressing the label tightly against the product surface. After the label is firmly pressed, the vacuum suction tube 10 releases air until the air pressure in the sealed chamber equals atmospheric pressure. The cylinder push rod 9 then moves the cylinder connecting seat 5 upwards along the square slide rail 11, simultaneously moving the suction block 14 upwards and detaching it from the label. The compression return spring 4 automatically returns to its initial state, simultaneously moving the sealing cover 2 and the adsorption assembly upwards to their original positions.
[0036] Modifications and variations of this utility model should also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although certain specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are for convenience only and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Other wires and cables with the same or similar structures as the embodiments of this utility model described above are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
