[0005]为了克服现有对比专利中的打火机固定装置会包裹一定高度的打火机外壳,打标无法全面覆盖,导致通用性较差的问题
[0015] By replacing the clamping and fixing device with an electric suction cup, a negative pressure is generated using a built-in electric pump or vacuum system. When the suction cup comes into contact with the object's surface, the system quickly removes the air from inside the suction cup, creating an air pressure lower than the external environment. Because the air pressure inside the suction cup is lower than the external atmospheric pressure, the external atmospheric pressure will press the suction cup tightly against the object's surface, generating a strong adsorption force. The fixing method is changed from a carrier box to single-sided adsorption fixing. This fixing method is less likely to squeeze the lighter's shell and avoid damage. At the same time, this fixing method can completely expose the other side without the electric suction cup, increasing the range of motion for labeling processing and improving versatility.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lighter processing, specifically relating to a labeling device for lighter processing. Background Technology
[0002] Small in size, easy to carry, and with better wind and moisture resistance than matches, lighters are a common fire-starting device for modern people. During the manufacturing process of lighters, it is often necessary to use labeling devices to print labels on the lighter casing.
[0003] Currently, there is a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN220483823U, which discloses a double-sided labeling device for lighter processing. The device includes a workbench with a conveyor belt on its top surface. A carrier component for placing lighters is mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt. A lifting component for raising the height of the lighters is located in the middle of the top surface of the workbench. A support frame is fixedly connected to the top surface of the workbench, and a top plate is fixedly connected to the end of the support frame. A pressing and limiting component for limiting the position of the lighters is located at the bottom of the top plate. Labeling components are located on both the front and rear sides of the workbench. The carrier component includes a carrier box. While this patent can label both sides of a lighter, the lighters are fixedly placed inside the carrier box. The carrier box has a certain depth for limiting the position of the lighters. When the lighter is inserted into the carrier box for fixation, the carrier box will cover a certain height of the lighter's outer shell. This design makes it difficult to label lighters with more complex labels that require more space, resulting in low versatility.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the problem that the lighter fixing device in the above-mentioned existing comparative patent will cover a certain height of the lighter shell, and the labeling cannot be fully covered, resulting in poor versatility, a labeling device for lighter processing with an electric suction cup can be designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the problem that the lighter fixing device in the existing comparative patent will cover a certain height of the lighter shell, the marking cannot be fully covered, resulting in poor versatility.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a labeling device for lighter processing, including a first labeling plate and a second labeling plate; it also includes a first electric suction cup and a second electric suction cup. The second labeling plate is arranged opposite to and staggered from the first labeling plate. Three electronic labeling printing blocks are installed on the opposite side of the first and second labeling plates. The first electric suction cup is arranged opposite to the first labeling plate and located to the left of the second labeling plate. The second electric suction cup is arranged opposite to the second labeling plate and located to the right of the first labeling plate. A first guide rail is arranged below the second electric suction cup on the rear side of the first labeling plate. A second guide rail is arranged on the front side of the second labeling plate.
[0007] Preferably, negative pressure is generated by the built-in electric pumps or vacuum systems of the first and second electric suction cups. When the suction cups come into contact with the surface of an object, the system quickly removes the air inside the suction cups, creating an air pressure lower than the external environment. Because the air pressure inside the suction cups is lower than the external atmospheric pressure, the external atmospheric pressure will press the suction cups tightly against the surface of the object, generating a strong suction force. The first and second electric suction cups are positioned opposite each other, allowing for the suction and fixation of different sides of the lighter, facilitating the application of labels to both sides of the lighter casing. The first and second electric suction cups move along the first and second guide rails respectively, enabling the transfer of the lighter.
[0008] Preferably, both the first and second guide rails are provided with sliding grooves, and L-shaped moving platforms are slidably connected in the sliding grooves, respectively located below the first and second electric suction cups.
[0009] Preferably, a threaded rod is inserted into the slide groove, and a hole or slot matching the threaded rod is opened on the L-shaped moving platform. Motors with their output ends fixedly connected to the corresponding threaded rods are installed on the right side of the first guide rail and the left side of the second guide rail, respectively.
[0010] Preferably, a movable base is fixedly connected to the front side of the No. 1 electric suction cup and the rear side of the No. 2 electric suction cup, and an electric push rod with its output end fixedly connected to one side of the movable base is installed on the top of the L-shaped movable platform.
[0011] Preferably, a feeding conveyor belt is provided on the right side of the No. 2 labeling plate, located in front of the No. 2 guide rail, and a discharging conveyor belt is provided on the left side of the No. 1 labeling plate, located behind the No. 1 guide rail.
[0012] Preferably, a support limiting plate is fixedly connected to the front side of the feeding conveyor belt, and a protective silicone pad is adhered to the rear side of the support limiting plate.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom ends of the feeding conveyor belt and the discharging conveyor belt are fixedly connected to a No. 1 support platform, and the bottom ends of the No. 1 labeling plate and the No. 2 labeling plate are both fixedly connected to a No. 2 support platform.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] By replacing the clamping and fixing device with an electric suction cup, a negative pressure is generated using a built-in electric pump or vacuum system. When the suction cup comes into contact with the object's surface, the system quickly removes the air from inside the suction cup, creating an air pressure lower than the external environment. Because the air pressure inside the suction cup is lower than the external atmospheric pressure, the external atmospheric pressure will press the suction cup tightly against the object's surface, generating a strong adsorption force. The fixing method is changed from a carrier box to single-sided adsorption fixing. This fixing method is less likely to squeeze the lighter's shell and avoid damage. At the same time, this fixing method can completely expose the other side without the electric suction cup, increasing the range of motion for labeling processing and improving versatility.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a labeling device for lighter processing, including a first labeling plate 1 and a second labeling plate 2; it also includes a first electric suction cup 3 and a second electric suction cup 4. The second labeling plate 2 is arranged opposite to and staggered from the first labeling plate 1. Three electronic labeling printing blocks 5 are installed on opposite sides of both the first and second labeling plates 1 and 2. The first electric suction cup 3 is located opposite to the first labeling plate 1 and to the left of the second labeling plate 2, and the second electric suction cup 4 is located opposite to the first labeling plate 1 and to the right of the second labeling plate 2. The first labeling plate 1 is located behind... A guide rail 6 is positioned below the second electric suction cup 4, and a guide rail 7 is located on the front side of the second labeling plate 2. Negative pressure is generated by the built-in electric pumps or vacuum systems of the first and second electric suction cups 3 and 4. When the suction cups contact the surface of an object, the system quickly removes the air from inside the suction cups, creating an air pressure lower than the external environment. Because the air pressure inside the suction cups is lower than the external atmospheric pressure, the external atmospheric pressure presses the suction cups tightly against the object surface, generating a strong suction force. The first and second electric suction cups 3 and 4 are positioned opposite each other, allowing for suction and fixation of different sides of the lighter, facilitating the removal of the lighter's outer casing. Labels are affixed to both sides. Electric suction cup 3 (number one) and electric suction cup 4 (number two) move along guide rail 6 (number one) and guide rail 7 (number two) respectively, transferring the lighter. Guide rail 6 and guide rail 7 each have a sliding groove, within which L-shaped moving platforms 8 are slidably connected, positioned below electric suction cups 3 and 4 respectively. The L-shaped moving platforms 8 move along the grooves, causing electric suction cups 3 or 4 to move left or right. A threaded rod 9 is inserted into the groove, and the L-shaped moving platform 8 has a slot matching the threaded rod 9. Output terminals are fixedly connected to the right side of guide rail 6 and the left side of guide rail 7 respectively. The motor 10 on the corresponding threaded rod 9 drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate. Under the restriction of the slide groove, the L-shaped moving platform 8 screwed to the outside of the threaded rod 9 cannot rotate with the threaded rod 9, but moves left and right along the slide groove. The front side of the first electric suction cup 3 and the rear side of the second electric suction cup 4 are both fixedly connected to the moving base 11. The top of the L-shaped moving platform 8 is equipped with an electric push rod 12 whose output end is fixedly connected to one side of the moving base 11. The electric push rod 12 moves back and forth by extending and retracting the output end to change the moving base 11 fixedly connected to the output end and the first electric suction cup 3 or the second electric suction cup 4 installed on the moving base 11.
[0024] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5In this embodiment, a feeding conveyor belt 13 is located on the right side of the second labeling plate 2, in front of the second guide rail 7. A discharging conveyor belt 14 is located on the left side of the first labeling plate 1, behind the first guide rail 6. The lighter is picked up from the feeding conveyor belt 13 by the second electric suction cup 4. After labeling, the lighter is moved to the discharging conveyor belt 14 by the first electric suction cup 3 and transported to the next processing stage. A support limiting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the front side of the feeding conveyor belt 13, and a protective silicone pad is adhered to the rear side of the support limiting plate 15. 16. The support limiting plate 15 can prevent the lighter from being pushed over when the second electric suction cup 4 is adsorbing. The protective silicone pad 16 is soft and can act as a buffer to prevent the lighter shell from being squeezed during adsorption. The bottom ends of the feeding conveyor belt 13 and the discharging conveyor belt 14 are fixedly connected to the first support platform 17. The bottom ends of the first labeling plate 1 and the second labeling plate 2 are both fixedly connected to the second support platform 18. The conveyor belt and the labeling plate are fixed to the factory floor by the anchors passing through the first support platform 17 and the second support platform 18.
[0025] During operation, the anchors are first passed through support platform 17 and support platform 18 in the correct order to fix the conveyor belt and labeling plate to the factory floor. The lighter moves to the left via the feeding conveyor belt 13, while the motor 10 on guide rail 6 is started. The motor 10 drives the threaded rod 9 inside guide rail 6 to rotate. Due to the constraint of the slide groove, the L-shaped moving platform 8, which is screwed to the outside of the threaded rod 9, cannot rotate with the threaded rod 9, but moves to the right along guide rail 6 to the feeding conveyor belt area. When the material conveyor belt stops running, the electric push rod 12 extends its output end, pushing the movable seat 11 and the second electric suction cup 4 on the movable seat 11 to move forward. The second electric suction cup 4 starts its built-in electric pump to pump out the air in the suction cup and attach the lighter to the second electric suction cup 4. The electric push rod 12 retracts its output end, starts the motor 10 in reverse, and moves it to the front of the second labeling plate 2. The electric push rod 12 pushes the lighter forward, and the shape of the label is printed on the surface of the lighter by the labeling electronic printing block 5 through the industrial computer.
[0026] Then, motor 10 continues to rotate, driving electric suction cup 4 to move to the left. At the same time, motor 10 on guide rail 7 starts, driving electric suction cup 3 to move to the right. Electric push rods 12 at both ends start simultaneously to push the output end. Electric suction cup 3 removes air from its suction cup, and electric suction cup 4 injects air into its suction cup to achieve handover. Electric push rod 12 retracts to its output end, electric suction cup 3 continues to move to the left, electric push rod 12 extends from its output end and pushes it onto labeling plate 1 for labeling processing on the other side. After processing, electric push rod 12 retracts slightly from its output end, and L-shaped moving table 8 moves electric suction cup 3 to the left onto the discharge conveyor belt 14. Air is injected into electric suction cup 3, and the lighter is placed on the discharge conveyor belt 14.
[0027] By using the above steps, the clamping and fixing device is replaced with an electric suction cup. A built-in electric pump or vacuum system generates negative pressure. When the suction cup contacts the object's surface, the system quickly removes the air from inside the suction cup, creating an air pressure lower than the external environment. Because the air pressure inside the suction cup is lower than the external atmospheric pressure, the external atmospheric pressure presses the suction cup tightly against the object's surface, generating a strong suction force. The fixing method, which changes from a carrier box fixation to single-sided suction fixation, is less likely to compress the lighter's outer shell, preventing damage. Simultaneously, this fixing method fully exposes the side without the electric suction cup, increasing the area of movement for labeling and improving versatility. This solves the problem in existing comparative patents where the lighter fixing device covers a certain height of the lighter's outer shell, preventing complete label coverage and resulting in poor versatility.
