Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of elastic rope combination tag hanging, specifically a lifting and rotating mechanism for elastic rope combination tag hanging. Background Technology
[0002] In the product manufacturing process, hanging tags are a crucial step in the packaging process, especially for products like cooking oil bottles and wine bottles. Hang tags not only carry brand information but also serve as an important way for consumers to learn about the product. Currently, hang tags are mainly divided into two types: one-piece hang tags and combination hang tags. One-piece hang tags, due to their fixed structure and uniform materials, have largely achieved automated hanging. However, hang tags using a combination of elastic cord and cardboard, due to their varied shapes, flexible cord materials, and, importantly, inconsistent cord form, cannot yet be automatically hung.
[0003] In existing technologies, the production of modular hang tags is typically completed offline by suppliers or outsourced equipment. During the production process, elastic cords are threaded into the hang tags and knotted to form a complete finished hang tag. During transportation and transfer to the production line, the presence of the cords easily leads to tangling of the hang tags, especially the knotting and tangling of the cord ends, further increasing the difficulty of subsequent hanging operations.
[0004] Secondly, when retrieving tags from the storage warehouse, the elastic rope is soft and its shape is not fixed, which makes it easy for the rope to get tangled when the tag is being picked up and rotated. This makes it difficult for the equipment to efficiently and accurately find the rope end and stretch it to the required aperture. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an elastic rope combination tag hanging and rotating mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A flexible rope combination tag hanging and rotating mechanism includes:
[0008] A mounting frame and a rotation drive for driving the mounting frame to rotate, wherein the mounting frame is equipped with a telescopic gripper for picking up and placing signs and a clamping member for holding the end of an elastic rope, wherein:
[0009] The clamping member includes two brushes, which are driven by a drive unit mounted on the mounting frame to clamp the rope end and separate the elastic rope seam when the two brushes move towards each other.
[0010] The elastic rope combination tag hanging and rotating mechanism described above: the rotating drive component includes a motor, the motor is fixed to the worktable by a motor base, and the output shaft of the motor is fixed to the mounting bracket.
[0011] The elastic rope combination tag hanging and rotating mechanism described above: the mounting frame is arranged in a "Z" shape, and the telescopic gripper and the driving component are respectively installed on two parallel surfaces on the mounting frame.
[0012] The elastic rope combination tag hanging and rotating mechanism described above: the driving component includes a gripper cylinder mounted on the mounting frame, and the two brushes are respectively mounted on the two grippers of the gripper cylinder.
[0013] The elastic rope combination tag hanging and rotating mechanism described above includes the telescopic gripper comprising:
[0014] A first cylinder is mounted on the mounting bracket, and a mounting seat is fixed on the movable rod of the first cylinder;
[0015] It also includes a negative pressure suction component mounted on the mounting base.
[0016] The elastic rope combination tag hanging and rotating mechanism as described above: the negative pressure suction component includes a movable part and an adsorption head installed on the movable part, and the adsorption head is connected to the negative pressure machine through a connecting pipe;
[0017] It also includes an adjusting member for adjusting the distance between the moving part and the clamping part.
[0018] The elastic rope combination tag hanging and rotating mechanism described above: the adjusting component includes a second cylinder, the second cylinder is mounted on a receiving frame fixed to the mounting base, and the movable rod of the second cylinder is fixed to the movable component;
[0019] A sliding rod is fixed on the receiving frame, and the sliding rod passes through the movable part and is slidably connected to the movable part.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] The telescopic gripper and clamping components are arranged vertically. The telescopic gripper extends to grab the sign and then returns to its original position, allowing the elastic rope below the sign to enter the clamping area of the clamping component. Subsequently, the driving component drives two brushes to move towards each other to clamp the rope end. Since the brushes have bristles, the bristles can enter the rope gaps, thereby separating the elastic rope by a certain width, which facilitates subsequent expansion.
[0022] The set-up picking and turning mechanism realizes the automatic grabbing of the tag and the automatic separation of the elastic rope. The brush soft clamp holds the end of the elastic rope to ensure that the end of the rope is stable and does not fall off. At the same time, it ensures that the elastic rope is neat and does not tangle, effectively eliminating the problem that the elastic rope is not easy to open due to its soft texture and irregular shape.

[0029] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.
[0030] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.
[0031] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a lifting and turning mechanism for hanging and placing elastic rope-type tags includes:
[0033] Mounting frame 3 and a rotation drive for driving the mounting frame 3 to rotate, wherein the mounting frame 3 is equipped with a telescopic gripper for picking up and placing signs and a clamping member for holding the end of an elastic rope, wherein:
[0034] The clamping component includes two brushes 6, which are driven by a drive unit mounted on the mounting frame 3. When the two brushes 6 move toward each other, they clamp the rope end and separate the elastic rope seam.
[0035] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the telescopic gripper and clamping member are arranged vertically. The telescopic gripper extends to grab the sign and then resets, so that the elastic rope below the sign enters the clamping area of the clamping member. Then, the driving member drives the two brushes 6 to move towards each other to clamp the rope head. Since the brushes 6 have bristles, the bristles can enter the rope gap of the elastic rope, thereby separating the elastic rope by a certain width, which is convenient for subsequent expansion.
[0036] The set-up picking and turning mechanism realizes the automatic gripping of the tag and the automatic separation of the elastic rope. The brush soft clamp 10 clamps the end of the elastic rope to ensure that the rope end is stable and does not fall off, while ensuring that the elastic rope is neat and does not tangle, effectively eliminating the problem that the elastic rope is not easy to open due to its soft texture and irregular shape.
[0037] Furthermore, the rotation drive component includes a motor 1, which is fixed to the workbench via a motor base 2. The output shaft of the motor 1 is fixed to the mounting frame 3. The motor 1 drives the mounting frame 3 to rotate, thereby causing the telescopic gripper, clamping component, sign, and elastic rope to rotate synchronously at a certain angle. This allows the elastic rope seam to quickly connect with the inner support mechanism during subsequent inner support, facilitating the transfer of the tag. Preferably, the rotation angle of the mounting frame 3 driven by the motor 1 is 90°.
[0038] The internal support mechanism described here is mainly used to expand the elastic rope.
[0039] Furthermore, the mounting frame 3 is arranged in a Z-shaped manner, and the telescopic gripper and the drive component are respectively installed on two parallel surfaces on the mounting frame 3, thereby ensuring that the elastic rope can smoothly enter the gripping range of the clamping component when gripping the sign.
[0040] In addition, the Z-shaped mounting bracket design not only optimizes the space layout and reduces the overall size of the equipment, but also improves the flexibility and stability of operation.
[0041] The aforementioned driving component includes a gripper cylinder 4 mounted on the mounting bracket 3. The two brushes 6 are respectively mounted on the two grippers of the gripper cylinder 4. The movement of the gripper cylinder 4 can drive the movement of the brushes 6, thereby realizing the gripping and separating of the elastic rope.
[0042] Furthermore, the telescopic gripper includes a first cylinder 7 mounted on the mounting frame 3, a mounting base 8 fixed on the movable rod of the first cylinder 7, and a negative pressure suction assembly mounted on the mounting base 8.
[0043] The extension and retraction of the first cylinder 7 causes the mounting base 8 to move accordingly, so that when the sign is grasped, the negative pressure suction component makes negative pressure contact with the sign. Then the first cylinder 7 retracts, causing the negative pressure suction component and the sign to move as a whole. After the first cylinder 7 is reset, the end of the elastic rope is just between the two brushes 6.
[0044] In this embodiment, the first cylinder 7 can also be replaced by an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic rod, as long as the telescopic drive requirement is met. This embodiment does not make any specific limitations on this.
[0045] The aforementioned negative pressure suction assembly includes a movable part 11 and an adsorption head 12 mounted on the movable part 11. The adsorption head 12 is connected to a negative pressure unit via a connecting pipe.
[0046] It also includes an adjusting member for adjusting the distance between the movable member 11 and the clamping member.
[0047] In one exemplary embodiment, the adjusting member includes a second cylinder 10, which is mounted on a support frame 9 fixed to the mounting base 8, and the movable rod of the second cylinder 10 is fixed to the movable member 11.
[0048] A sliding rod 13 is fixed on the receiving frame 9, and the sliding rod 13 passes through the movable member 11 and is slidably connected to the movable member 11.
[0049] The first cylinder 7 drives the mounting base 8, the movable part 11 and the suction head 12 to move synchronously. When the suction head 12 comes into contact with the sign, the negative pressure machine starts, so that the suction head 12 is attached to the sign and fixed. Then the first cylinder 7 retracts, and the suction head 12 drives the sign back to the starting position. Then the brush 6 clamps the elastic rope and separates the rope.
[0050] After the inner support mechanism inserts the elastic rope into the rope slot, the second cylinder 10 can be activated to move the movable part 11 and the suction head 12 as a whole, thereby moving the signboard. With the elastic rope clamped, the position of the signboard is changed, thereby pulling the elastic rope to make a fine adjustment of its position, so that the inner support mechanism is in the middle position of the elastic rope. This ensures that the elastic rope is evenly stressed when the inner support mechanism performs the opening action, preventing damage to the elastic rope and improving the opening effect of the elastic rope.
[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0052] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
