Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging machinery technology, and in particular relates to a hanging clip label attaching machine. Background Technology

[0002] A hang tag attaching machine is a type of packaging machinery commonly used for packaging large sheet-shaped items such as towels and carpets. It requires feeding the hang tag to the designated labeling area on the item to be packaged, then using a glue gun to inject glue needles to secure the hang tag to the item.

[0003] CN214649625U discloses an automatic card feeding, folding, and labeling machine, including a frame, an electrical control box at the bottom of the frame, and a table panel at the top of the frame. The left side of the table panel has a card storage module, and the right side has an opening area. A translational slide rail module is installed below the opening area. A card folding mechanism is installed on the translational slide rail module. A gantry frame is located along the rear edge of the table panel, and a card suction mechanism and a labeling mechanism are fixed on the gantry frame. The card suction mechanism includes a horizontal slide rail module with a vertical cylinder connected to a suction cup fixing block, which also fixes a suction cup. The labeling mechanism is fixed to the gantry frame above the opening area of ​​the table panel. During operation, the card is fed to the top plate of the card folding mechanism via the horizontal slide rail module. At this time, the card folding mechanism fixes and folds the card using two "U"-shaped pressure arms and a forward-pushing folding pressure plate.

[0004] CN216333304U discloses a card folding mechanism for a card issuing machine used in packaging machines, including a frame, a turntable structure, and a card folding station. Both the turntable structure and the card folding station are mounted on the frame. The turntable structure is used to move the card to be folded to the card folding station and to remove the folded card from the card folding station. The turntable structure is equipped with a plurality of suction nozzle assemblies that are evenly distributed circumferentially and used to pick up the card. The card folding station includes a pressing structure and a card folding structure. The pressing structure is used to press the card onto the suction nozzle assembly located at the card folding station, and the card folding structure is used to fold the card located at the card folding station. The card folding structure includes a second driving member and a top block. The second driving member is fixed on the frame, and the top block is fixed on the driving end of the second driving member. The second driving member is used to drive the top block to move closer to or away from the card located at the card folding station. The top block is used to squeeze the outer edge of the card located at the card folding station. The inner wall of the top block is provided with a limiting groove for the outer edge of the card to be inserted. With this card folding structure, when the first driving member drives the top block to move towards the card, the outer edge of the card can first be inserted into the limiting groove. When the first driving member continues to drive the top block to move towards the card, the card can be bent.

[0005] The aforementioned existing technologies are only suitable for relatively rigid hang tags, allowing them to be folded for packaging; when using softer hang tags, these machines cannot be used for labeling. Another problem is that when packaging large items, two or more hang tags are used, or a single large hang tag is used for labeling in more than two locations, and existing technologies cannot achieve this functionality. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide a hanging clip label attaching machine.

[0007] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a hang tag labeling machine, including a worktable, with a glue needle gun at the rear end above the worktable, characterized in that: it also includes a pre-labeling conveyor belt and a post-labeling conveyor belt, located in front of and behind the worktable respectively, for conveying hang tags before and after labeling; the length of the worktable is less than the length of the item to be packaged; a card storage mechanism and a card retrieval mechanism are also provided above the worktable, located in front of the glue needle gun; a bracket is provided above the front and rear ends of the worktable, wherein the bracket above the front end is used to install the card storage mechanism and the card retrieval mechanism, and the bracket above the rear end is used to install the glue needle gun; the brackets above the front and rear ends of the worktable are all equipped with tracks perpendicular to the conveyor belts, and the card storage mechanism, the card retrieval mechanism, and the glue needle gun can move on their respective tracks.

[0008] Furthermore, the card storage mechanism is vertically oriented, forming an angle of 45°-90° with the workbench surface, and the hanging cards to be used are stacked on the card storage mechanism at the same angle; the card retrieval mechanism includes a rotating arm and a negative pressure suction cup, the end of the rotating arm is rotatably connected to the base of the card retrieval mechanism, and the negative pressure suction cup is rotatably connected to the front end of the rotating arm, and is also connected to a negative pressure air source; the card retrieval mechanism is driven by a synchronous belt, consisting of a first synchronous belt, a first driving synchronous belt pulley, a first driven synchronous belt pulley, a second synchronous belt, a second driving synchronous belt pulley, and a second driven synchronous belt. The device consists of a first driven synchronous belt pulley and a second driving synchronous belt pulley, which are coaxially fixed at the end of the rotating arm. The second driven synchronous belt pulley is fixedly connected to the negative pressure suction cup. The first driving synchronous belt pulley is connected to a motor as a power source, which drives the first driven synchronous belt pulley to rotate via the first synchronous belt. The second driving synchronous belt pulley then drives the second driven synchronous belt pulley to rotate via the second synchronous belt, thereby driving the negative pressure suction cup to rotate. The initial end of the negative pressure suction cup's rotation stroke is a hanging card parallel to and attached to the card storage mechanism, and the end is a packaged item parallel to and attached to the workbench surface.

[0009] This invention is based on the direction of movement of the items to be packaged on the conveyor belt, moving from front to back.

[0010] In operation, this invention first synchronizes the card storage mechanism, card retrieval mechanism, and glue gun on their respective tracks to the designated X-axis position. Then, the item to be packaged moves from the pre-labeling conveyor belt to the worktable, and the desired labeling position is determined on the worktable, establishing the Y-axis position. Next, the card storage and retrieval mechanisms operate as follows: the first synchronous belt rotates the arm of the card retrieval mechanism to a vertical position, bringing the negative pressure suction cup close to the hanger in the card storage mechanism, using negative pressure to pick up the first hanger; then, the first synchronous belt rotates the arm to a horizontal position, at which point the negative pressure suction cup, carrying the hanger, rotates in the opposite direction to adhere to the item to be packaged; the negative pressure air source is then turned off, and the card retrieval mechanism returns to its initial position, leaving the hanger on the item. The glue gun then presses down to complete the first labeling operation.

[0011] If it is necessary to re-label the same hanger, the glue gun retracts and moves along its track to the set X-axis coordinate point; at the same time, the conveyor belt before labeling moves the item to be packaged to the set Y-axis coordinate point, and then the glue gun presses down to complete the second labeling work.

[0012] If a second tag is needed, repeat the previous steps to find another set of coordinates, retrieve the tag again, and attach it. Finally, after tagging, the conveyor belt will transport the tagged and packaged items away.

[0013] It is evident that this utility model can automatically complete the labeling of softer hangers, as well as larger hangers or multiple hangers. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figures 1 to 6 These are structural diagrams illustrating different working processes in this embodiment. In all these diagrams, the left side of the paper represents the rear, and the right side represents the front, with the item to be packaged moving from right to left.

[0015] Figures 7 to 9 This is a schematic diagram of the card storage and card retrieval mechanisms in different states. Detailed Implementation

[0016] As an example, this embodiment only nails the label once on a single hanger.

[0017] See Figure 1 This embodiment includes a workbench 1, a front labeling conveyor belt 2, and a rear labeling conveyor belt 3. The item to be packaged is a floor mat 4, which is placed on the front labeling conveyor belt 2 and moves from right to left. A front support 5 is provided on the front side of the workbench 1, and a card storage mechanism 7 and a card retrieval mechanism 8 are placed on the track of the front support 5 and can move along the track. A rear support 6 is provided on the rear side of the workbench 1, and a glue gun 9 is placed on the track of the rear support 6 and can move along the track. Figure 1As shown, the card storage mechanism 7, card retrieval mechanism 8, and glue gun 9 have moved to their respective set positions along their tracks, i.e., are aligned with the preset nail marks on the floor mat 4. The states of the card storage mechanism 7 and card retrieval mechanism 8 at this time can be seen in the following diagram. Figure 7 .

[0018] See Figure 2 .and Figure 1 The difference lies in that the floor mat 4 moves forward to the set position, at which point a portion of the floor mat 4 is on the workbench 1. The states of the card storage mechanism 7 and the card retrieval mechanism 8 at this time can be seen in [reference needed]. Figure 7 .

[0019] See Figure 3 .and Figure 2 The difference lies in the card retrieval mechanism 8 starting to operate, attracting a hanging card 10 and removing it from the card storage mechanism. The states of the card storage mechanism 7 and the card retrieval mechanism 8 at this time can be seen in [reference needed]. Figure 8 .

[0020] See Figure 4 .and Figure 3 The difference lies in that the card retrieval mechanism 8 continues to operate, adsorbing a hanging card 10 onto the floor mat. The states of the card storage mechanism 7 and the card retrieval mechanism 8 at this time can be seen in [reference needed]. Figure 9 .

[0021] See Figure 5 .and Figure 4 The difference lies in the downward tip of the glue needle gun 9, which drives the glue needle into the hanger and floor mat.

[0022] See Figure 6 At this point, the floor mat 4 enters the nail mark area and is then conveyed away by the conveyor belt 3. The card storage mechanism 7, the card retrieval mechanism 8, and the glue needle gun 9 return to their original positions. Figure 1 As shown, on conveyor belt 2 before tagging, another mat is ready for tagging.

[0023] See Figure 7 The card-retrieving mechanism includes a rotating arm 81 and a negative pressure suction cup 82. A first driving synchronous pulley 83 is connected to a motor as a power source, driving a first driven synchronous pulley 85 to rotate via a first synchronous belt 84. The first driven synchronous pulley 85 and the second driving synchronous pulley 86 are coaxially fixed at the end of the rotating arm, thereby causing the rotating arm 81 to rotate and the second driving synchronous pulley 86 to rotate simultaneously. The second driving synchronous pulley 86 drives a second driven synchronous pulley 88 to rotate via a second synchronous belt 87. The second driven synchronous pulley 88 is fixedly connected to the negative pressure suction cup 82, thereby driving the negative pressure suction cup 82 to rotate.

[0024] exist Figure 7 As shown, the negative pressure suction cup 82 is attached to the first hanging card 10 on the card storage mechanism, and the negative pressure air source is turned on to adsorb the first hanging card 10.

[0025] See Figure 8 .and Figure 7 The difference is that when the two sets of synchronous belts mentioned above start to rotate, the rotating arm 81 and the negative pressure suction cup 82 of the suction cup 10 both rotate at an angle.

[0026] See Figure 9 .and Figure 8 The difference lies in the fact that the rotating arm, negative pressure suction cup, and hanging clamp all rotate into place, and the hanging clamp is in a horizontal position, fitting against the floor mat below.
