[0019] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] First, it should be noted that existing labeling equipment often only adapts to a single type of label and cannot achieve universal labeling for multiple labels. Therefore, this invention proposes a highly versatile and intelligent labeling solution that can easily handle the application needs of various labels, whether flat, curved, or made of special materials, achieving precise and efficient application. This will not only greatly improve production efficiency and product quality but also inject strong momentum into the transformation, upgrading, and sustainable development of enterprises.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figs. 1-2 The diagram shown is a structural diagram of a labeling device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the labeling device is an online flexible labeling device, which includes a housing and an air source assembly 1 disposed within the housing. Additionally, the labeling device further includes:

[0022] Label assembly 2 is disposed at the upper end of the housing and is used to provide labels for application.

[0023] A material positioning mechanism, located on the side of the label supply assembly 2, is used to position the product 6 to be labeled and the label provided by the label supply assembly 2.

[0024] The label suction component 7 is used to accurately attach the label provided by the label supply component 2 to the product 6 to be labeled based on the positioning result.

[0026] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the material positioning mechanism includes a label detection assembly 3 arranged at the side of the label supply assembly 2. Specifically, the orientation of the label provided by the label supply assembly 2 is positioned by the label detection assembly 3. The label detection assembly 3 can realize automatic orientation verification of the label, thereby realizing rapid identification and positioning of the label.

[0027] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a label taking assembly 4 is arranged on the upper end of the housing close to the label supply assembly 2. The label taking assembly 4 can realize movement of the material positioning mechanism, thereby facilitating positioning of different labels.

[0028] In an example of the utility model, the air source assembly 1 can specifically adopt existing air pressure products such as air pumps, which are used to blow off dust and other impurities from the material. Of course, in some embodiments, the air source assembly 1 can also adopt air cylinders, which directly serve as power sources to be connected with the label taking assembly 4 and other structures. The specific selection is not limited here.

[0029] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the material positioning mechanism further includes a labeled product detection assembly 5 arranged at the end of the label taking assembly 4. The side of the labeled product detection assembly 5 is connected with the label sticking assembly 7. Specifically, the label taking assembly 6 can adopt existing mechanical hand products with functions of gripping and rotating. The label taking assembly 4 can control the labeled product detection assembly 5 and the label sticking assembly 7 to move to the vicinity of the product 6 to be stuck. Then, the orientation of the product 6 to be stuck is positioned by the labeled product detection assembly 5, and the orientation of the label provided by the label supply assembly 2 is positioned by the label detection assembly 3, thereby realizing accurate alignment and efficient attachment of multiple different labels.

[0030] Generally, the material positioning mechanism is composed of a label detection assembly 3 and a labeled product detection assembly 5, which can both adopt existing CCD camera products.

In the left-right conveying device, the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel are transversely arranged in the vertical direction, and in the position-pasting conveying device, the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel are transversely arranged in the horizontal direction. In actual work, the label taking assembly 4 sucks the label from the label assembly 2. Then, the label taking assembly 4 moves to the label detection assembly 3 to verify the label orientation. Then, the label taking assembly 4 moves to the conveying assembly 8 to take a picture of the product 6 to be labeled on the conveying assembly 8 to obtain the orientation of the product body. Then, the label is accurately attached to the product according to the label orientation. The labeling device is characterized by being applicable to multiple labels and being attached to the product.

[0033] In addition, it needs to be explained that the traditional labeling equipment is often difficult to adapt to different shapes and sizes of products, and the product surface is easily damaged during labeling. Especially in the online production environment, the labeling speed and accuracy are required to be higher. Therefore, a flexible online labeling equipment capable of adapting to different products, efficient and accurate is needed. The labeling device provided by the utility model, in particular to an online flexible labeling equipment, can realize efficient attachment of multiple labels, thereby solving the problem that multiple labels cannot be labeled simultaneously in the prior art.

[0041] In another example of the utility model, the label supply assembly 2 includes a label reel for storing labels to be attached, and the label taking assembly 4 is used to take labels from the label reel.

[0042] The implementation principle of the embodiment is as follows: first, the label taking assembly 4 sucks the product label to be attached on the label supply assembly 2.
