Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automated labeling equipment, and in particular relates to a high-temperature water transfer printing paper feeding and pasting device. [Background Technology]

[0002] Labeling machines are a common type of equipment in the non-standard automation industry. They are devices that use a labeling head to pick up labels and then apply them to the product. Currently, conventional labeling paper is peeled off from the release paper and then directly adhered to the adhesive side of the label onto the target product surface using a suction nozzle. This type of labeling paper is suitable for product surfaces with a certain surface roughness requirement. However, for glass bottle surfaces, in order to ensure the strong adhesion of the labeling paper, a special type of labeling paper is generally used. This type of labeling paper has a backing paper, which needs to be soaked in water before it can be peeled off from the backing paper and then applied.

[0003] The prior art patent CN218892817U discloses a fully automatic labeling device for round bottles, and further discloses a decal processing and labeling unit. This decal processing and labeling unit has the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) Multiple decal soaking modules are arranged between the decal feeding module and the bottom paper rolling module, and are arranged along the span direction between the decal feeding module and the bottom paper rolling module. This makes the decal handling module move a long distance from the decal feeding module to the decal soaking module, and the handling time is long, thus reducing the decal transfer cycle.

[0005] (2) The decal handling module is driven by the linear transfer module to sequentially pick up the decal, rub the bottom paper and apply the decal. The walking rhythm is also limited and cannot meet the labeling requirements of higher rhythm.

[0006] (3) During the process of removing the bottom paper from the bottom paper module, the position of the decal may be displaced or changed. Or the position of the decal is not uniform and precise when the decal is picked up from the decal soaking module. When it is pasted on the bottle, it is easy to be crooked and the labeling accuracy is not high.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new high-temperature water transfer printing paper feeding and pasting device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. [Utility Model Content]

[0008] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a high-temperature water transfer printing paper feeding and pasting device, which greatly improves the labeling efficiency and accuracy of water transfer printing paper and meets the process requirements of higher production cycles.

[0009] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a high-temperature water transfer printing paper feeding and pasting device, which includes a printing paper feeding module and a printing paper soaking module arranged sequentially along a second direction, an soaking and transporting module that picks up printing paper in the printing paper feeding module and places it into the printing paper soaking module for soaking, a printing paper pasting robot that picks up the soaked printing paper in the printing paper soaking module, a first camera that acquires the printing paper position information on the printing paper pasting robot, and a second camera that acquires the labeling surface position information on the labeling container.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a backing paper removal module located within the activity range of the decal pasting robot.

[0011] Furthermore, the first camera is positioned below the range of motion of the decal pasting robot.

[0012] Furthermore, the decal feeding module includes a first support plate, at least one decal hopper disposed on the first support plate, a first cylinder that drives the first support plate to switch positions between a decal replenishment position and a decal feeding position, a distributing spring assembly disposed at the decal feeding position to assist in distributing decals in the decal hopper, and a lifting assembly disposed at the decal feeding position to lift the decals in the decal hopper upwards.

[0013] Furthermore, the decal feeding module is provided in two sets.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned decal feeding modules is provided with two decal hoppers.

[0015] Furthermore, the decal soaking module includes a support base, a heating pad disposed on the support base, a water tank disposed on the heating pad, and a plurality of soaking components extending into the water tank; the plurality of soaking components are arranged along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the soaking and transporting module includes a first motor, a second support plate driven by the first motor to move along a second direction, a second motor fixed on the second support plate, a third support plate driven by the second motor to move along a first direction, a second cylinder fixed on the third support plate, and a suction nozzle driven by the second cylinder to move up and down.

[0017] Furthermore, the decal pasting robot is a multi-axis manipulator with a suction nozzle at its moving end for adsorbing decals.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom paper removal module includes a bottom paper suction nozzle and a bottom paper collection box for collecting bottom paper; the suction surface of the bottom paper suction nozzle is facing upward and is installed on the top of the bottom paper collection box.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this high-temperature water transfer printing paper feeding and pasting device are: it greatly improves the labeling efficiency and accuracy of water transfer printing paper, meeting the process requirements of higher production cycles. Specifically:

[0020] (1) By optimizing the layout of the decal soaking module, the decal soaking module is set on the second direction side of the decal feeding module and has multiple soaking components. Each soaking component soaks only one decal. The multiple soaking components are set along the first direction, which shortens the transfer path of the soaking and conveying module from the decal feeding module to the soaking component. On the one hand, it reduces the overall space occupation of the decal feeding and pasting mechanism, and on the other hand, it improves the production cycle.

[0021] (2) The decal handling mechanism is implemented using a multi-axis robot, which is more efficient and faster than the original linear module;

[0022] (3) By configuring the first camera to obtain the position information of the decal on the decal pasting robot, and configuring the second camera to obtain the position information of the labeling surface on the container to be labeled, the position information of the decal on the decal pasting robot and the position information of the labeling surface are combined, which greatly improves the accuracy of decal pasting and effectively solves the problem of decal pasting crooked or incorrect pasting position.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment is a high-temperature water transfer printing paper feeding and pasting device 100, which includes a printing paper feeding module 1 and a printing paper soaking module 2 arranged sequentially along a second direction, a soaking and transporting module 3 that picks up printing paper from the printing paper feeding module 1 and places it into the printing paper soaking module 2 for soaking, a printing paper pasting robot 4 that picks up the soaked printing paper from the printing paper soaking module 2, a base paper removal module 5 set within the activity range of the printing paper pasting robot 4, a first camera 6 that acquires the printing paper position information on the printing paper pasting robot 4, and a second camera 7 that acquires the labeling surface position information on the labeling container.

[0033] The soaking and handling module 3 picks up the dry decal from the decal feeding module 1 and then places it into the decal soaking module 2 for soaking. After soaking for a set time, the decal pasting robot 4 takes it out and moves it above the backing paper removal module 5. The backing paper is removed from the decal in conjunction with the backing paper removal module 5. Then, it moves above the first camera 6 and obtains the position information of the decal on the decal pasting robot 4 through the first camera 6 and the position information of the labeling surface on the container to be labeled through the second camera 7. The decal pasting robot 4 combines the position information of the decal obtained by the first camera 6 and the position information of the labeling surface obtained by the second camera 7 to accurately paste the decal onto the labeling surface, completing the initial labeling.

[0034] The decal feeding module 1 includes a first support plate 11, at least one decal hopper 12 disposed on the first support plate 11, a first cylinder 13 that drives the first support plate 11 to switch positions between a decal replenishment position and a decal feeding position, a feeding spring assembly 14 disposed at the decal feeding position to assist in distributing decals in the decal hopper 12, and a lifting assembly 15 disposed at the decal feeding position to lift the decals in the decal hopper 12 upwards.

[0035] In this embodiment, two sets of decal feeding modules 1 are provided to ensure continuous feeding without gaps. Each decal feeding module 1 has two decal hoppers 12. In other embodiments, the number of decal feeding modules 1 and the number of decal hoppers 12 in each decal feeding module 1 can be flexibly set. The dispensing spring group 14 is fixedly set at the decal feeding position. After the decal hopper 12 moves to the decal feeding position with the first support plate 11, the dispensing spring group 14 is located at the top outlet of the decal hopper 12. When the soaking and conveying module 3 absorbs decal 200 in the decal hopper 12, the dispensing spring group 14 prevents the decals below from sticking together, ensuring that the soaking and conveying module 3 absorbs only one decal at a time.

[0036] The decal soaking module 2 is located on one side of the decal feeding module 1 along the second direction, such as... Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the decal soaking module 2 includes a support base 21, a heating pad 22 disposed on the support base 21, a water tank 23 disposed on the heating pad 22, and a plurality of soaking components 24 arranged along a first direction perpendicular to a second direction. The water tank 23 is connected to a water circulation device (not shown in the figure), which automatically replenishes water according to the water level in the water tank 23 and periodically replaces the water in the water tank 23. The heating pad 22 heats the water in the water tank 23 to meet the requirements of the decal soaking process.

[0037] By arranging multiple soaking components 24 along the first direction, multiple colored papers can be soaked simultaneously, with each soaking component 24 responsible for soaking one paper, which can be removed after soaking. On the other hand, arranging multiple soaking components 24 along the first direction can shorten the movement path of the soaking and transporting module 3 in the second direction, improve the cycle time, and reduce the space occupied by the equipment.

[0038] The soaking component 24 can adopt a structure such as the "soaking mechanism 522" in the prior art patent CN218892817U, and this embodiment does not limit its structure.

[0039] The immersion transport module 3 includes a first motor 31, a second support plate 32 driven by the first motor 31 to move along a second direction, a second motor 33 fixed on the second support plate 32, a third support plate 34 driven by the second motor 33 to move along a first direction, a second cylinder 35 fixed on the third support plate 34, and a suction nozzle 36 driven by the second cylinder 35 to move up and down.

[0040] The decal pasting robot 4 is a multi-axis robotic arm with a suction nozzle (not shown in the figure) at its moving end. In this embodiment, the multi-axis robotic arm is a SCARA robot, which moves quickly and has a fast cycle time.

[0041] The paper removal module 5 includes a paper suction nozzle 51 for adsorbing paper and a paper collection box 52 for collecting paper. The paper suction nozzle 51 is positioned with its adsorption surface facing upward and is installed on top of the paper collection box 52.

[0042] To further improve labeling efficiency, in this embodiment, a sheet of decal paper is designed with two labels (i.e., the decal paper after removing the backing paper). The decal paper pasting robot 4 is equipped with two decal paper suction nozzles, which pick up the two labels on a sheet of decal paper at one time and paste them onto the two containers to be labeled in turn.

[0043] The workflow of the high-temperature water transfer printing paper feeding and pasting device 100 in this embodiment is as follows: the soaking and conveying module 3 picks up the printing paper 200 from the printing paper feeding module 1 and puts it into the printing paper soaking module 2. Whenever a soaked printing paper is taken out of the printing paper soaking module 2, the soaking and conveying module 3 puts in another printing paper to be soaked for soaking; the printing paper pasting robot 4 takes out a soaked printing paper 200 from the printing paper soaking module 2, and removes the bottom paper under the printing paper with the bottom paper suction nozzle 51 with the suction surface facing upward, and then moves it above the first camera 6. The first camera 6 is used to obtain the position information of the printing paper on the printing paper pasting robot 4; during the above process, the second camera 7 completes the acquisition of the position information of the labeling surface on the labeling container. The printing paper pasting robot 4 accurately pastes the label onto the labeling surface according to the printing paper position information acquired by the first camera 6 and the labeling surface position information acquired by the second camera 7, and completes the initial labeling.

[0044] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
