[0030] This utility model provides a label picking and hanging device and an automated label hanging equipment. Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides a specific embodiment of a label-receiving and hanging device and an automated label-hanging equipment.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a label picking and hanging device 100, including a label picking and hanging mechanism 1 and a frame 2. The frame 2 has two label placement positions 21 spaced apart in the x-direction, and a product channel 22 is provided between the two label placement positions 21. The label picking and hanging mechanism 1 includes a first connecting frame 11 and at least two picking and hanging components 12 for gripping labels. The two picking and hanging components 12 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first connecting frame 11 in the x-direction. The label picking and hanging mechanism 1 is movable relative to the frame 2 in the x-direction, and the travel of each picking and hanging component 12 passes through the product channel 22 and the adjacent label placement position 21.

[0032] In this invention, since the frame 2 is provided with two label placement positions 21 spaced apart in the x-direction, the label picking and hanging mechanism 1 can move in the x-direction, causing the two picking and hanging components 12 to move in the x-direction as well. When one picking and hanging component 12 moves to a label placement position 21 to pick up a label, the other picking and hanging component 12 simultaneously moves to the product channel 22 and hangs a label on the product on the product channel 22. Then, the label picking and hanging mechanism 1 moves towards the other label placement position 21, causing the picking and hanging component 12 that has picked up the label to move to the product channel 22 to hang a label, and the other picking and hanging component 12 simultaneously moves to the other label placement position 21 to pick up a label, and so on. The label picking and hanging mechanism 1 in this invention can realize the simultaneous picking and hanging of labels, which greatly improves the label picking and hanging efficiency compared to existing label hanging machines that can only hang one label before picking up the next label.

[0033] It should be noted that the label picking mechanism 1 is mounted on the frame 2 by a linear motor and is driven by the linear motor to move in the x direction.

[0034] The specific structure of the tag-grabbing component 12 is not limited, as long as it ensures that the tag-grabbing component 12 can grasp the tag. For example, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 6As shown, the label-attaching assembly 12 includes a mounting base 121, a first label attachment 122, and two second label attachments 123. The two second label attachments 123 are spaced apart on the mounting base 121, and the first label attachment 122 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 121. With this configuration, when picking up a label, the first label attachment 122 and the two second label attachments 123 are first inserted into the inner side of the label elastic cord. Then, the first label attachment 122 rotates so that its free end moves away from the second label attachments 123, thereby opening the label elastic cord and enabling the label to be gripped. When attaching a label, the bottle opening of the product is first inserted into the inner side of the label elastic cord. Then, the first label attachment 122 rotates so that its free end approaches the second label attachments 123 until it releases contact with the label elastic cord, thus attaching the label to the bottle opening.

[0035] To improve the stability of the connection with the tag, in some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first tag part 122 has a first groove on the side facing away from the second tag part 123 for the elastic cord of the tag to extend and be fixed. With this configuration, the elastic cord of the tag is stuck in the first groove, which provides a more secure connection than fixing it by friction between the elastic cord and the outer wall of the first tag part 122.

[0036] Similarly, in some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, each of the second tag portions 123 has a second groove on the side opposite to the first tag portion 122 for the label elastic cord to extend into and be fixed. This improves the connection stability between the second tag portion 123 and the label elastic cord.

[0037] It should be noted that either of the above two technical features can be set, or they can be set simultaneously.

[0038] By providing only one rotatable first tag portion 122, the shape formed by the extended elastic cord is triangular, with a small area. This may make it difficult to insert the tag inside the elastic cord for products with large bottle openings. Therefore, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, there are two first label parts 122, both of which are rotatably mounted on the mounting base 121. The two first label parts 122 and the two second label parts 123 are positioned on the mounting base 121 at the four vertices of a corresponding rectangle. This arrangement allows the elastic cord of the label to be stretched open by the rotation of the two first label parts 122, forming a rectangle and increasing the enclosing area of ​​the elastic cord to accommodate products of more sizes.

[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the two first tag portions 122 rotate synchronously relative to the mounting base 121. This arrangement shortens the assembly and disassembly time between the two first tag portions 122 and the label elastic cord, thereby improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the tag assembly and the label elastic cord.

[0040] Generally, a row of products will be conveyed simultaneously on the product channel 22. To further improve the efficiency of the label picking device 100 in picking up and hanging labels, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple tag-attaching components 12 are provided, and the multiple tag-attaching components 12 are arranged in two rows at both ends of the first connecting frame 11 in the x-direction. With this arrangement, one row of tag-attaching components 12 can simultaneously attach multiple tags, thereby increasing the number of tags attached per unit time and greatly improving the tag-attaching efficiency of the tag-attaching device 100.

[0041] To ensure that one of the label-picking components 12 picks up a label while the other picks up the label, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the label placement position 21 and the product channel 22 is equal to the spacing between the two label-picking components 12. However, in actual production, due to site constraints, it may be impossible to adjust the positions of the label placement position 21 and the product channel 22. Therefore, in some embodiments, each label-picking component 12 is adjustable in the x-direction relative to the first connecting frame 11. This configuration allows for adjustment of the spacing between the two label-picking components 12 by adjusting their positions, thus improving the adaptability of the label-picking device 100 to different sites.

[0042] To avoid interference from other components on the frame 2 during the movement of the mounting assembly 12, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the label picking and hanging mechanism 1 further includes a second connecting frame 13 and a driving unit 14. The second connecting frame 13 is movably mounted on the frame 2 in the x-direction. The first connecting frame 11 is connected to the second connecting frame 13 through the driving unit 14, and the first connecting frame 11 is driven by the driving unit 14 to move in the z-direction. When the picking and hanging component 12 picks up a label, the picking and hanging component 12 first moves above the label placement position 21. Then, the driving unit 14 drives the first connecting frame 11 to descend, causing the picking and hanging component 12 to descend to the label placement position 21. After picking up the label, the driving unit 14 drives the first connecting frame 11 to rise, thereby causing the picking and hanging component 12 to rise. This arrangement avoids collisions with other components when the picking and hanging component 12 moves directly to the label placement position 21 in the x-direction.

[0043] Specifically, the drive unit 14 includes, but is not limited to, cylinders, electric lifting rods, or other drive components known to those skilled in the art.

[0044] The first connecting frame 11 and the second connecting frame 13 are connected only by the driving part 14, which results in insufficient connection stability. This may cause slight movement of the first connecting frame 11 during lifting, causing a deviation in the position of the tag-attaching component 12 and affecting tag retrieval. Therefore, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the label picking and hanging mechanism 1 also includes multiple guide rods 15. The second connecting frame 13 has guide holes corresponding to the positions of each guide rod 15. One end of each guide rod 15 is connected to the first connecting frame 11, and the other end passes through the guide hole on the second connecting frame 13. This arrangement, by providing multiple guide rods 15 for auxiliary guidance, improves the stability of the picking and hanging assembly 12 during lifting and lowering, ensuring that the picking and hanging assembly 12 is aligned with the label placement position 21.

[0045] In addition, this utility model also provides an automated labeling device 1000, including a product conveyor belt 200, the label picking and hanging device 100 and two label supply devices 300. The two label supply devices 300 are both mounted on the frame 2 and are set corresponding to the two label placement positions 21. The product conveyor belt 200 is located in the product channel 22.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
