[0003] In related technologies, sealing and labeling machines for cosmetics typically consist of a machine body, a conveyor belt, a cosmetic bottle sealing device, and a cosmetic bottle labeling device. While traditional sealing and labeling machines can meet the basic requirements for sealing and labeling cosmetic bottles, at least the following shortcomings have been found in actual use: When using a conveyor belt to first transport the cosmetic bottle to the sealing device for sealing, the sealed bottle is prone to shifting and flipping. Consequently, when transporting the sealed bottle to the labeling device, the label may be misplaced, resulting in the label being applied to the back of the bottle, leading to inaccurate label placement and increasing the defect rate.

[0023] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This application provides a material turning mechanism for sealing and labeling cosmetics, including a machine body 1, a cosmetic bottle sealing device 2, a cosmetic bottle labeling device 3, and a cosmetic bottle turning device. A conveying groove is provided on the top of the machine body 1, and a conveyor belt 4 is rotatably installed within the conveying groove. Both the cosmetic bottle sealing device 2 and the cosmetic bottle labeling device 3 are fixedly installed on the top of the machine body 1. The cosmetic bottle turning device is positioned between the cosmetic bottle sealing device 2 and the cosmetic bottle labeling device 3. The conveyor belt 4 is used for horizontally and linearly conveying cosmetic bottles filled with cosmetics, allowing them to first enter the cosmetic bottle sealing device 2 and then the cosmetic bottle labeling device 3. The cosmetic bottle sealing device 2 is used to seal the cosmetic bottles filled with cosmetics, and the cosmetic bottle labeling device 3 is used to label the sealed cosmetic bottles. It should be noted that the structure and working principle of the cosmetic bottle sealing device 2 and the cosmetic bottle labeling device 3 are mature technologies in this field and have been fully disclosed; therefore, they will not be repeated here.
[0025] The cosmetic packaging bottle flipping device includes a U-shaped frame 5, two industrial cameras 6, and a flipping and adjusting assembly 7. The U-shaped frame 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the machine body 1. The two industrial cameras 6 are respectively fixedly installed on the front inner wall and the rear inner wall of the U-shaped frame 5. By using the two industrial cameras 6 in conjunction, the position and status of the cosmetic packaging bottle can be captured more comprehensively. The flipping and adjusting assembly 7 is set inside the U-shaped frame 5 and located between the two industrial cameras 6. The flipping and adjusting assembly 7 includes a mounting base 701, an electric push rod 702, a moving base 703, a motor 704, and a U-shaped plate 7. 05. A bidirectional lead screw 706, a second motor 707, two vertical beams 708, and two clamps 709 are mounted on the top inner wall of the U-shaped frame 5. An electric actuator 702 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 701. A movable seat 703 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the electric actuator 702. A first motor 704 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the movable seat 703. A U-shaped plate 705 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the first motor 704. The bidirectional lead screw 706 is rotatably mounted inside the U-shaped plate 705. A second motor 707 is fixedly mounted on the front outer wall of the U-shaped plate 705. The output shaft of motor 707 is fixedly connected to the front end of the double-acting lead screw 706. Two vertical beams 708 are threaded onto the double-acting lead screw 706 and are symmetrically distributed. Two collets 709 are fixedly installed at the bottom ends of their respective vertical beams 708. Motor 707 controls the rotation of the double-acting lead screw 706, allowing the two vertical beams 708 to move closer to or further apart. The distance between the two collets 709 can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate the clamping and fixing of cosmetic packaging bottles of different sizes. Motor 704 drives the U-shaped plate 705 to rotate. This allows the clamped and fixed cosmetic packaging bottle to rotate with the U-shaped plate 705, achieving the flipping and adjustment of the cosmetic packaging bottle. This adjusts the side of the cosmetic packaging bottle that needs to be labeled to the specified position. The electric push rod 702 controls the horizontal linear movement of the moving seat 703, which in turn causes the motor 1 704, U-shaped plate 705, bidirectional lead screw 706, motor 2 707, two vertical beams 708, and two clamps 709 to move accordingly. This pushes the cosmetic packaging bottle, which has been adjusted and flipped, into the cosmetic packaging bottle labeling device 3 for precise labeling.
[0026] In this embodiment, a guide rod 710 is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped plate 705, and the two vertical beams 708 are slidably sleeved on the guide rod 710, which plays a role in guiding the movement direction of the two vertical beams 708, so that the vertical beams 708 can maintain a smooth linear movement.
[0027] In this embodiment, both vertical beams 708 are made of transparent plastic. The use of transparent plastic for the vertical beams 708 ensures structural strength without hindering the industrial camera 6 from photographing and inspecting the cosmetic packaging bottles.
[0028] In this embodiment, a guide rail 711 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the U-shaped frame 5, and the movable seat 703 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 711. One end of the guide rail 711 extends into the cosmetic packaging bottle labeling device 3. The setting of the guide rail 711 enables the movable seat 703 to maintain stable linear sliding, and the extension of one end of the guide rail 711 into the cosmetic packaging bottle labeling device 3 realizes efficient connection from sealing to labeling, speeds up the production pace, and improves overall production efficiency.
[0029] In this embodiment, anti-slip textures are provided on the side of the two clamps 709 that are close to each other. The anti-slip textures can effectively increase the friction when clamping the cosmetic packaging bottle, and can firmly clamp the cosmetic packaging bottle during the flipping adjustment and pushing process to prevent it from slipping or loosening.
[0030] In this embodiment, the cosmetic packaging bottle flipping device further includes a controller 8 and an image recognition module 9. Both the controller 8 and the image recognition module 9 are fixedly installed on the front outer wall of the U-shaped frame 5. Two industrial cameras 6 are electrically connected to the image recognition module 9, which is in turn electrically connected to the controller 8. The electric push rod 702, motor one 704, and motor two 707 are all electrically connected to the controller 8. The images of the cosmetic packaging bottle captured by the two industrial cameras 6 are transmitted to the image recognition module 9. The image recognition module 9 identifies the position information of the cosmetic packaging bottle in the image to determine if the bottle has shifted or flipped. The image recognition module 9 then transmits the identification result signal to the controller 8. Upon receiving the identification result signal, the controller 8... The controller 8 issues commands to control the operation of electric actuators 702, motor 1 704, and motor 2 707 based on preset data. When the image recognition module 9 detects that the cosmetic packaging bottle has shifted or flipped, the controller 8 will control electric actuators 702, motor 1 704, and motor 2 707 to run in a preset order. When the image recognition module 9 detects that the cosmetic packaging bottle has not shifted or flipped, the controller 8 will not control electric actuators 702, motor 1 704, and motor 2 707 to run. Thus, by utilizing the coordinated action of two industrial cameras 6 with the image recognition module 9 and the controller 8, the position and status of the cosmetic packaging bottle can be accurately identified, providing accurate information for subsequent flipping and labeling operations. This greatly improves the positioning accuracy in the production process and reduces the defect rate of labeling.
[0031] In this embodiment, it should be noted that both motor 1 704 and motor 2 707 are reversible motors. The electric actuator 702, motor 1 704 and motor 2 707 are all automatically controlled by controller 8. The control circuit of controller 8 can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the art. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
[0032] With the above structure, the material flipping mechanism for sealing and labeling cosmetics provided in this application works as follows:
[0033] The cosmetic bottles filled with cosmetics are placed on the conveyor belt 4. The conveyor belt 4 transports the cosmetic bottles horizontally and linearly from left to right, so that the cosmetic bottles first enter the cosmetic bottle sealing device 2 for sealing. The sealed cosmetic bottles continue to move with the conveyor belt 4. When the cosmetic bottles move with the conveyor belt 4 into the U-shaped frame 5, the two industrial cameras 6 on the front and rear inner walls of the U-shaped frame 5 start working to take multi-angle comprehensive pictures of the cosmetic bottles. The captured image information is transmitted to the image recognition module 9. The image recognition module 9 uses a specific algorithm to analyze and process the image, identify the position, posture and other status information of the cosmetic bottles, and determine whether there is any offset or flipping phenomenon. Subsequently, the image recognition module 9 sends this identification and judgment information to the controller 8.
[0034] When the controller 8 determines that the sealed cosmetic packaging bottle has not been moved or flipped, the controller 8 does not issue a command. At this time, the conveyor belt 4 transports the sealed cosmetic packaging bottle into the cosmetic packaging bottle labeling device 3 for labeling. The labeled cosmetic packaging bottle then moves out with the conveyor belt 4.
[0035] When the controller detects that the sealed cosmetic packaging bottle has shifted or flipped, it first controls motor 2 (707) to run. The output shaft of motor 2 (707) drives the bidirectional lead screw (706) to rotate, causing the two vertical beams (708) to move closer together until the two clamps (709) clamp and fix the cosmetic packaging bottle. After the cosmetic packaging bottle is stably clamped, motor 1 (704) is then started. The output shaft of motor 1 (704) drives the U-shaped plate (705) to rotate, causing the clamped cosmetic packaging bottle to rotate with the U-shaped plate (705) until the cosmetic packaging bottle is flipped and adjusted to the specified position, thus ensuring the cosmetic packaging bottle is properly positioned. Once the bottle reaches the appropriate position for labeling, the electric push rod 702 is extended and pushed along the guide rail 711 into the cosmetic bottle labeling device 3. This pushes the flipped and adjusted cosmetic bottle into the cosmetic bottle labeling device 3. Finally, the second motor 707 is reversed to release the clamping and fixing of the cosmetic bottle, and the first motor 704 is reversed to rotate the U-shaped plate 705 back to its initial position. The electric push rod 702 is then reset, and the cosmetic bottle labeling device 3 can then accurately label the cosmetic bottle. The labeled cosmetic bottle is then moved out along the conveyor belt 4.
