[0037] Reference Figure 1 A transfer mechanism 100 for arranging between a conveying mechanism and a labeling mechanism to transfer products from the conveying mechanism to the labeling mechanism is shown in an embodiment of the present application.

[0038] Exemplarily, the transfer mechanism 100 includes a bracket 10, a transfer power source 20, a transfer transmission mechanism 30, a mounting assembly 40, a lifting driver 50, and a grabbing module 60.

[0039] The bracket 10 is designed in a U-shaped structure, that is, it is composed of a first vertical rod, a second vertical rod and a cross rod. The first vertical rod and the second vertical rod are arranged side by side and spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The cross rod is arranged above the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod, and the two ends of the length direction of the cross rod are respectively fixedly connected with the top end of the first vertical rod and the top end of the second vertical rod. In this way, the bracket 10 has a simple structure, good support stability, low manufacturing cost and good durability.

[0041] The transfer power source 20 is arranged on the support 10. Specifically, the transfer power source 20 is arranged on the cross rod.

[0042] The transfer power source 20 can be, but is not limited to, a servo motor.

[0043] The transfer transmission mechanism 30 is rotatably arranged on the support 10 and is in transmission connection with the transfer power source 20. The transfer transmission mechanism 30 can be, but is not limited to, one of a synchronous pulley mechanism, a chain wheel mechanism and the like, has a stable transmission ratio and can ensure the movement accuracy of the grabbing module 60.

[0044] The mounting assembly 40 is connected with the transfer transmission mechanism 30; the lifting driver 50 is arranged on the mounting assembly 40; the grabbing module 60 is connected with the lifting shaft of the lifting driver 50, and the grabbing module 60 includes a plurality of grippers 61 arranged side by side along a preset direction.

[0045] In summary, the implementation of the technical scheme of the embodiment will obtain the following beneficial effects: when the transfer mechanism 100 of the present scheme works, the transfer power source 20 first drives the transfer transmission mechanism 30 to drive the mounting assembly 40 to move above the conveying mechanism, so that the grabbing module 60 is vertically opposite to the products on the conveying mechanism, and then the lifting driver 50 drives the grabbing module 60 to descend, so that the plurality of grippers 61 of the grabbing module 60 can simultaneously grab a plurality of products; then, the lifting driver 50 drives the grabbing module 60 to ascend, and the transfer power source 20 drives the grabbing module 60 to move to the labeling mechanism, and the grabbing module releases the products to the labeling mechanism, so that the products can be transferred from the conveying mechanism to the labeling mechanism; compared with the prior art, the present scheme not only can realize the automatic transfer of the products, but also can simultaneously realize the synchronous transfer of a plurality of products, which can not only save the labor cost and reduce the labor intensity of workers, but also can greatly improve the production efficiency and avoid affecting the production rhythm.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the grabbing module 60 further includes a driving source 62, the driving source 62 is in driving connection with the plurality of grippers 61, so that the grippers 61 can grab or release the products. The driving source 62 is used to provide the power required for the work of the grippers 61, so that the grippers 61 can grab or release the products and complete the transfer of the products from the conveying mechanism to the labeling mechanism.

[0047] Specifically, the driving source 62 in the above embodiment includes a gas distribution block 621 and a plurality of cylinders 622, the gas inlet of the gas distribution block 621 is used to communicate with the gas supply device, the plurality of gas distribution ports of the gas distribution block 621 correspondingly communicate with the cylinders 622, and the cylinders 622 are connected with the gripper 61 one by one. In operation, the gas supply device delivers gas to the gas distribution block 621, and the gas is uniformly flowed into the corresponding cylinder 622 from each gas distribution port after being distributed by the gas distribution block 621, so that each cylinder 622 obtains power and can control the gripper 61 to act, so as to realize the gripping or releasing of the product by the gripper 61.

[0048] In the present application, the product can be a cylindrical lipstick, which is placed in a lying posture in the loading groove of the loading block. The opposite sides of the loading block in the width direction are also provided with notches, which communicate with the loading groove.

[0049] In one embodiment, the gripper 61 includes a first gripping plate 611 and a second gripping plate 612 arranged in a spaced and opposite manner, and the first gripping plate 611 and the second gripping plate 612 can move close to or away from each other.

[0050] The side of the first gripping plate 611 facing the second gripping plate 612 is provided with a first pressing block 611a, and the side of the second gripping plate 612 facing the first gripping plate 611 is provided with a second pressing block. The first pressing block 611a and the second pressing block are used to extend into the loading groove through the notches of the loading block and clamp the product.

[0051] In the initial state, the first gripping plate 611 and the second gripping plate 612 are away from each other, and the distance between them is greater than the width of the loading block, so that under the descending drive of the lifting driver 50, the loading block enters between the first gripping plate 611 and the second gripping plate 612. Then the cylinder 622 drives the first gripping plate 611 and the second gripping plate 612 to approach, and the first pressing block 611a and the second pressing block extend into the loading groove after passing through the corresponding notches to clamp and fix the lipstick, realizing the gripping of the product.

[0052] In order to improve the firmness and reliability of the product gripping and prevent the product from falling off the gripper 61 during the transfer process, the surface of the first pressing block 611a away from the first gripping plate 611 is covered with a first adhesive layer, and / or the surface of the second pressing block away from the second gripping plate 612 is covered with a second adhesive layer.

[0053] Preferably, the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are provided at the same time to obtain better gripping effect on the product. For example, the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer can be any one of double-sided tape, 3M tape, etc., which can be selected flexibly according to actual needs.

[0054] In the present application, the transfer transmission mechanism 30 adopts a synchronous pulley mechanism.

[0055] The transmission member 31 is a synchronous belt in the synchronous pulley mechanism. The synchronous belt is clamped and fixed by the wedge block 42 and the mounting hole in tight wedge cooperation, so that the mounting assembly 40 can be driven by the transfer transmission mechanism 30 to move synchronously and in the same direction, realizing flexible reciprocating transfer of the gripper 61 between the conveying mechanism and the labeling mechanism. This mounting method does not need to drill holes and apply glue to the synchronous belt, and will not damage and contaminate the synchronous belt.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the mounting assembly 40 includes a sliding block 43 and a sliding rail 44, the sliding rail 44 is arranged on the support 10, and the sliding block 43 is connected with the mounting block 41 and is slidably arranged on the sliding rail 44. The sliding block 43 and the sliding rail 44 are slidably arranged and cooperated, which can guide and limit the reciprocating movement of the gripper 61, improve the stability of the position and posture of the gripper 61, and further ensure the alignment accuracy of the gripper 61 and the product, so that the gripper 61 can more effectively and accurately grasp the product.

[0057] In addition, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the transfer mechanism 100 further includes a first limit position sensor 70 and a second limit position sensor 80, the first limit position sensor 70 and the second limit position sensor 80 are arranged on the support 10 and are respectively located at two ends of the reciprocating movement path of the mounting block 41.
