Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tire label technology, and in particular to an automatic tire label feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] The embedding of RFID electronic tags in the tire manufacturing process has become an important means of tire lifecycle management. In recent years, with the continuous development of RFID technology, major tire manufacturers have embedded RFID tags into tires, making the collection and use of tire data safer and more efficient.

[0003] With the development of RFID electronic tag technology, RFID electronic tags have emerged in various styles. Regular tags can be applied on both sides, allowing for direct grabbing regardless of whether the packaging is front or back. Examples include regular rectangular tags and externally mounted rectangular RFID blocks. The difference lies in the tag grabbing method. For instance, regular rectangular tags are grabbed using a suction cup, and the label is applied after the suction cup vacuum is released; externally mounted rectangular tags are attracted by a magnet and peeled off by a material-peeling mechanism. In this case, the label is peeled off by the material-peeling mechanism, and then directly grabbed and labeled by the grabbing mechanism. If there are situations where the RFID tag has different front and back sides, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this design cannot accommodate RFID tags 100 with different front and back sides. This situation arises due to packaging and feeding reasons, resulting in the picking surface and labeling surface being the same. This prevents direct picking and labeling, such as RFID tags 100 with different front and back sides, including tags with one convex side and one flat side, or tags with raised protrusions. For curved convex tags, due to packaging reasons, the flat side is on top and the convex side is on the bottom. However, during labeling, the flat side needs to be on the bottom and the convex side on top. This requires flipping the tags so that the convex side is on top and the flat side is on the bottom before picking them up and labeling. Similarly, for tags with raised protrusions, the larger flat side is on top and the smaller raised protrusion is on the bottom during packaging. The labeling requirement is that the larger flat side is on the bottom and the raised protrusion is on top, which also requires flipping before labeling. However, existing gripping mechanisms cannot meet the implantation problem of needing to flip the tags due to different feeding and labeling postures. Utility Model Content

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0031] It should be noted that the technical terms or scientific terms used in one or more embodiments of the present specification should be understood as the general meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs, unless otherwise defined.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the tire label automatic feeding equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application, the application scenario thereof is first described. The tire label automatic feeding equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application is applied in the tire label implantation technology. For electronic labels with irregular or special structures, the material taking surface and the label sticking surface are the same surface due to the structural form, so that the labels cannot be directly taken and then stuck. However, the existing grabbing mechanism cannot meet the implantation requirement of turning over the labels due to the difference between the label feeding and sticking postures.

[0033] For electronic labels with different front and back surfaces due to packaging reasons or the like, the existing grabbing mechanism cannot meet the implantation requirement of turning over the labels due to the difference between the label feeding and sticking postures.

[0034] Therefore, the tire label automatic feeding equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application corresponds to the grabbing and feeding of electronic labels with front and back sticking requirements, and solves the problem of turning over the labels due to the difference between the label feeding and sticking postures. The tire label automatic feeding equipment will be described in detail below in combination with specific examples.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 is shown in Figure 1 is shown Figure 1 is a schematic view of an existing RFID electronic label structure with different front and back surfaces. As shown in Figure 1As can be seen, for the RFID electronic tag (hereinafter referred to as electronic tag 100) with different front and back surfaces, the electronic tag 100 is caused by its structural characteristics and packaging and feeding reasons, so that the material taking surface and the label attaching surface are the same surface, so it cannot be directly taken and attached. For example, the electronic tag 100 with one convex surface and one flat surface and the electronic tag 100 with a convex platform. For the electronic tag 100 with a circular arc convex surface, the flat surface is on the top and the convex surface is on the bottom due to packaging reasons, but the flat surface needs to be on the bottom and the convex surface needs to be on the top when attaching, so that the convex surface is on the top and the flat surface is on the bottom after turning over, and then the material is sucked and attached. The electronic tag 100 with a convex platform is packaged with a large flat surface on the top and a small convex platform on the bottom, and the attachment requires a large flat surface on the bottom and a convex platform on the top, so it also needs to be turned over and attached. For the electronic tag 100 that needs to be turned over and fed, the tire label automatic feeding equipment in the present application solves the problem of turning over and implanting the electronic tag 100 with different feeding and attaching postures.

[0036] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2 is a front view of the tire label automatic feeding equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 is a back view of the tire label automatic feeding equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application. The tire label automatic feeding equipment is used for turning over and taking the label material belt 2, and comprises a device main body. The device main body is the main structure in the present application, is fixedly assembled in a tire label implantation workshop, and is rotatably connected with a feeding disc 1. The label material belt 2 is located in the feeding disc 1. The feeding disc 1 rotates synchronously in the process of being driven by a compression roller assembly to stably extend the label material belt 2. In order to prevent the feeding disc 1 from rotating, the feeding disc 1 is rotatably connected with the device main body, and the shaft end of the feeding disc 1 is connected with a damping anti-skid device 20. Through the damping anti-skid device 20, the self-rotation effect of the feeding disc 1 can be effectively slowed down, so that the label material belt 2 is more stably conveyed in the feeding process.

[0037] The tire label automatic feeding equipment in the present application is designed in combination with feeding, film collecting and material collecting. Specifically, the device main body is further provided with a film collecting device 4 and a material collecting disc 16. The device main body is assembled with a compression roller assembly for driving the feeding disc 1 to rotate and feed. The device main body is provided with a first driving mechanism 5 for driving the compression roller assembly and the film collecting device 4 to rotate synchronously. In the rotating process, the compression roller assembly drives the label material belt 2 to extend out of the feeding disc 1 in a relatively pressing and rotating manner, drives the feeding disc 1 to rotate under the synchronous rotating action of the compression roller assembly and the material collecting disc 16, and drives the compression roller assembly and the film collecting device 4 to rotate synchronously by the first driving mechanism 5, so as to meet the synchronism in the feeding process.

[0038] The label material tape 2 is extended from the feeding disc 1 into the guide block 3, guided into the pressing block 12 through the slot of the guide block 3, and the transition wheel 14 is rotationally connected between the guide block 3 and the pressing block 12. After the label material tape 2 passes through the guide block 3, the film of the label material tape 2 is folded upwards and stored into the film collecting device 4, the label material tape of the label material tape 2 passes through the tensioning wheel and is stored into the material collecting disc 16, and the electronic label 100 on the label material tape 2 is taken out by the cooperation of the turnover material taking device on the equipment main body, so that the integrated operation of feeding, film collecting and material collecting can be realized.

[0039] When the label material tape 2 is orderly extended by the pressing roller assembly, the pressing roller assembly comprises: the power roller group 11 and the pressing roller 10 which is in pressure cooperation with the power roller group 11; the pressing roller assembly and the material collecting disc 16 are rotationally connected by the tensioning shaft 15, and the tensioning shaft 15 is connected with the tensioning device 19. The pressing roller 10 is in pressure contact with the power roller group 11 through the elastic assembly, and in the process of rotating the power roller group 11 driven by the first driving mechanism 5, the power roller group 11 and the pressing roller 10 rotate relatively under the elastic pressure of the pressing roller 10, the label material tape is located between the pressing roller 10 and the power roller group 11, and in the relative rotation state, the label material tape is orderly extended to the material collecting disc 16.

[0040] The label material tape enters the material collecting disc 16 after passing through the tensioning shaft 15, the tensioning device 19 ensures the stability of the tension of the label material tape in the conveying process, the material collecting disc 16, the power roller group 11 and the film collecting device 4 are in synchronous rotation state, so that the power roller group 11 and the material collecting disc 16 can complete the feeding and material collecting synchronously. When the first driving mechanism 5 synchronously drives the power roller group 11 and the film collecting device 4 to rotate, the first driving mechanism 5 adopts a first motor, the output shaft of the first motor is connected with a synchronous wheel 17, the power roller group 11 is coaxially rotationally connected with a driving roller 22, and the film collecting device 4 is coaxially rotationally connected with a film collecting roller 18; the synchronous wheel 17 assembled on the first driving motor is connected with the film collecting roller 18 and the driving roller 22 through a synchronous belt. A plurality of tensioning wheels are connected in pressure on the synchronous belt, so that higher synchronism can be ensured and slipping phenomenon can be prevented.

[0041] In addition, the second driving mechanism 7 for driving the material collecting disc 16 to rotate is arranged on the equipment main body, and the rotation rates of the first driving mechanism 5 and the second driving mechanism 7 are the same; the second driving mechanism 7 adopts a second motor, the output shaft of the second motor is connected with a belt pulley, the material collecting disc 16 is coaxially rotationally connected with a material collecting roller 21, and the belt pulley and the material collecting roller 21 are connected through a synchronous belt; under the condition that the rotation rates of the first driving motor and the second driving motor are the same, the first driving motor and the second driving motor drive the power roller group 11, the film collecting device 4 and the material collecting disc 16 to rotate at the same rate synchronously, so that the label material tape 2 is conveyed and fed synchronously and stably.

[0042] In combination Figure 4 andFigure 5 As shown in the middle, for the electronic tag 100 that needs to be flipped and attached, the flipping and taking device in the application completes a series of operations such as lowering, taking, rising, and flipping under the control of the electric control system, and meets the flipping and feeding operation of the electronic tag 100 with differences on the front and back. Specifically, the pressing block 12 is provided with a sensing assembly for detecting the position signal of the electronic tag 100 on the label material tape 2, and the flipping and taking device is located at the first set position and the second set position after receiving the signal of the sensing assembly; the sensing assembly adopts an optical fiber sensor 13, after receiving the position signal of the electronic tag 100, the electric control system controls the first driving mechanism 5 and the second driving mechanism 7 to stop running, the electronic tag 100 is located directly below the flipping and taking device, and controls the flipping and taking device to complete the taking and flipping work correspondingly. The electric control system controls the corresponding equipment to work after receiving the position signal of the electronic tag 100, which is a common control means in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] When the flipping and taking device is located at the first set position, the flipping and taking device cooperates with the first surface of the electronic tag 100 to take; when the flipping and taking device is located at the second set position, the taking head 23 cooperates with the second surface of the electronic tag 100 to take. The flipping and taking device cooperates with the electronic tag 100 on the pressing block 12 in turn, and after the flipping and taking device forms a cycle after lowering, taking, rising, and flipping and resetting, the first driving mechanism 5 and the second driving mechanism 7 continue to perform feeding, collecting, and film collecting operations, and the overall degree of automation is high. The automatic implantation equipment of the electronic tag 100 in the tire forming process is developed in combination with the actual background for regular and irregular block-shaped electronic tags 100, which solves the problem of automatic and efficient implantation method for different styles of electronic tags 100, and creates necessary conditions for the industrialization and popularization of the application of electronic tags 100 in tires.

[0044] The flipping and taking device includes a flipping mechanism 8, a lifting driving part 6 connected to the flipping mechanism, and a taking assembly 9 assembled on the flipping mechanism 8; wherein the lifting driving part 6 adopts a lifting cylinder or an electric lifting rod, the flipping mechanism 8 adopts a flipping cylinder or a motor connected gear rack and a series of structures, and the taking assembly 9 can adopt any one of a suction cup, a magnet, and a clamping jaw.

[0045] The flipping mechanism 8 drives the taking assembly 9 to rotate by a set angle to be located at the first set position and the second set position. The set angle is 180° of forward and reverse rotation.

[0046] Reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, in one embodiment of the present application, the material taking assembly 9 adopts a suction cup, and the electronic tag 100 assembled on the label material tape 2 is a circular-arc convex electronic tag 100. Due to packaging reasons, the electronic tag 100 is adhered to the label material tape 2 in a manner that the plane is on the top and the convex surface is on the bottom, but it is required to be pasted with the plane on the bottom and the convex surface on the top. Thus, after being turned over, the convex surface is on the top and the plane is on the bottom, and then the suction head 23 sucks and pastes.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom of the pressing block 12 is provided with an optical fiber sensor 13. When the optical fiber sensor 13 detects the material, the label material tape 2 stops, the downward movement of the lifting driving member 6 triggers the lower magnetic induction switch, the vacuum of the suction cup is opened to take the material, and when the vacuum detection switch detects the predetermined vacuum degree, the lifting driving member 6 drives the suction cup with the electronic tag 100 to rise.

[0048] The upward movement of the lifting driving member 6 triggers the upper magnetic induction switch, and then the turning mechanism 8 turns 180° to reach the second set position to trigger the magnetic induction switch at one end. At this time, the suction head 23 completes the material taking by moving downward, the turning cylinder turns 180° again to reach the first set position to trigger the magnetic induction switch at the other end, and waits for the next material taking. The suction head 23 reaches the material taking position after turning, and completes the whole cycle of material taking action.

[0049] In the present application, the label material tape 2 is located in the feeding disc 1, the pressing roller assembly drives the material tape to extend and makes a plurality of electronic tags 100 sequentially located on the pressing block 12, the material film is stored on the film collecting device 4, and the material tape is stored on the material collecting disc 16, thereby synchronously completing the feeding, material collecting and film collecting operations. Moreover, after the sensing assembly detects the position signal of the electronic tag 100, the turning and material taking device takes the material from the label material tape 2 and turns, thereby corresponding to the grasping of the feeding of the electronic tag 100 with the front and back pasting requirements, and solving the problem of turning for the different needs of the feeding and pasting posture of the electronic tag 100.
