Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of combination lock assembly technology, specifically to a combination lock labeling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A rotary combination lock typically consists of a rotary dial, a lock body, a rotating shaft, and multiple combination dials. The dial is rotated to set and input the combination, and the combination dials display the combination. The user unlocks the lock by rotating the dial until the numbers or symbols on the combination dials match the preset combination.

[0003] With technological advancements, rotary combination locks are evolving towards automation and intelligence. Tagging technology may play a crucial role in this process, for example, by storing password information or enabling interaction with other smart devices.

[0004] Manual labeling is a common operation in the production of rotary combination locks. However, with the expansion of production scale and the increasing demand for efficiency, the limitations of manual labeling have gradually become apparent. Manual labeling is relatively slow, especially in large-scale production, becoming a bottleneck affecting production efficiency. Furthermore, manual labeling is easily affected by factors such as the operator's skill level and fatigue, leading to inaccurate or uneven label application. This not only affects the product's appearance quality but may also increase rework costs and time.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a combination lock labeling mechanism to replace manual labeling, thereby improving labeling efficiency and ensuring the appearance quality of the product. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to propose a labeling mechanism for combination locks, which solves the problem in the prior art that existing rotary combination locks use manual labeling, resulting in low labeling efficiency and affecting the product's appearance quality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a combination lock labeling mechanism, including a workbench, characterized in that it further includes a combination lock fixture for placing the combination lock, a label printer mounted on the workbench for printing labels, a label pasting component mounted on the workbench for transporting labels and pasting them onto the combination lock, and a limiting component mounted on the workbench; the force exerted on the combination lock by the label pasting component when pasting the label forms a balanced force with the force exerted on the combination lock by the limiting component and the force exerted on the combination lock by the combination lock fixture.

[0008] Optionally, a rotating assembly is installed on the worktable, on which multiple combination lock fixtures are installed at equal angles, and the rotating assembly drives the combination lock fixtures to rotate at equal angles.

[0009] Optionally, the rotating assembly includes a cam divider mounted on the worktable, a power source connected to the cam divider, a rotating disk mounted on the cam divider, and multiple combination lock fixtures mounted at equal angles on the rotating disk; a feeding station and a labeling station are provided along the circumference of the rotating disk.

[0010] Optionally, the label pasting assembly includes a mounting frame mounted on a workbench, a horizontal moving structure mounted on the mounting frame, a vertical moving structure mounted on the horizontal moving structure, a rotating structure mounted on the vertical moving structure, and an adsorption structure mounted on the rotating structure for picking up labels.

[0011] Optionally, the horizontal moving structure includes a first linear module mounted on a mounting frame, a horizontal power source mounted on the first linear module, a horizontal moving platform mounted on the first linear module, and a vertical moving structure mounted on the horizontal moving platform; the horizontal moving platform can move horizontally along the first linear module.

[0012] Optionally, the vertical moving structure includes a second linear module mounted on the horizontal moving structure, a vertical power source mounted on the second linear module, a vertical moving platform mounted on the second linear module, and a rotating structure mounted on the vertical moving platform.

[0013] Optionally, the rotating structure includes a side-positioning cylinder mounted on the vertically moving structure, a connecting plate mounted on the side-positioning cylinder, and an adsorption structure mounted on the connecting plate.

[0014] Optionally, the adsorption structure includes a vacuum suction cup mounted on a vertically moving structure.

[0015] Optionally, the limiting assembly includes a telescopic cylinder mounted on the worktable and an abutment mounted on the telescopic cylinder.

[0016] Optionally, the combination lock fixture includes a fixture base, end blocks mounted on both ends of the fixture base, connecting posts mounted on the end blocks, a slider movably mounted on the connecting posts, a lock seat mounted on the slider, a lock sleeve mounted on the lock seat, and a limiting plate mounted on the lock seat for limiting the lock sleeve.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a combination lock labeling mechanism, which has the following advantages:

[0018] This combination lock labeling mechanism, through the setting of the label pasting component, is used to automatically paste the labels printed by the label printer onto the combination lock. Compared with the existing manual labeling, the label pasting component improves the efficiency of labeling, and the position and pressure of each label are the same, so that the relative position of each label on the combination lock is the same. With the setting of the upper limit component, the combination lock is limited to ensure that the position of the combination lock does not change when the label pasting component is pasting the label, thereby ensuring the appearance quality of the combination lock and reducing the cost and time of rework.

[0027] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, illustrates the present invention. Numerous specific details are set forth in the description below to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] The combination lock labeling mechanism of this application can be used for labeling combination locks and other similar applications. The following is a detailed description of the combination lock labeling mechanism.

[0029] See appendix Figure 1 — Figure 7 The diagram shows a preferred embodiment of the combination lock labeling mechanism of this application. The combination lock labeling mechanism includes a workbench, a combination lock fixture 2 for placing the combination lock, a label printer 3 mounted on the workbench 1 for printing labels, a label pasting component 4 mounted on the workbench 1 for transporting and pasting labels onto the combination lock, and a limiting component 5 mounted on the workbench 1. When pasting labels onto the combination lock, the label pasting component 4 exerts a force on the combination lock, and this force is balanced by the force exerted on the combination lock by the limiting component 5 and the force exerted on the combination lock by the combination lock fixture 2.

[0030] This utility model utilizes a combination lock fixture 2 to provide an installation position for the combination lock; a label printer 3 to print and paste the required labels (it should be noted that the label printer 3 is prior art, therefore it will not be described in detail here); a label pasting component 4 to transport the labels printed by the label printer 3 and paste them onto the back of the combination lock; and a limiting component 5 to limit the combination lock while the label is pasted, ensuring that the combination lock will not separate from the combination lock fixture 2 when the label pasting component 4 is pasting the label onto the combination lock, thus ensuring that the label pasting component 4 can paste the label onto the combination lock.

[0031] See appendix Figure 2As shown, in this invention, a rotating assembly 6 is installed on the workbench 1. Combination lock fixtures 2 are mounted at equal angles on the rotating assembly 6, and the rotating assembly 6 drives the combination lock fixtures 2 to rotate at equal angles. The rotating assembly 6 includes a cam divider 61 mounted on the workbench 1, a power source 62 connected to the cam divider 61, and a rotating disk 63 mounted on the cam divider 61. Multiple combination lock fixtures 2 are mounted at equal angles on the rotating disk 63. A loading station and a labeling station are provided along the circumference of the rotating disk 63. It should be noted that the power source 62 is a motor. This invention separates the loading station and the labeling station, allowing the labeling assembly 4 to label the combination locks while the workers are installing them, thereby improving labeling efficiency.

[0032] This utility model installs multiple combination lock fixtures 2 at equal angles, so that after each rotation of the rotary table 63, there are combination lock fixtures 2 on both the loading station and the labeling station. Operators can install the combination locks, and the label pasting component 4 can paste labels onto the combination locks.

[0033] See appendix Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this utility model, the label pasting component 4 includes a mounting frame 41 mounted on the workbench 1, a horizontal moving structure 42 mounted on the mounting frame 41, a vertical moving structure 43 mounted on the horizontal moving structure 42, a rotating structure 44 mounted on the vertical moving structure 43, and an adsorption structure 45 mounted on the rotating structure 44 for picking up the label.

[0034] This invention provides installation conditions for the horizontal moving structure 42 by setting up the mounting bracket 41, raising the installation height of the horizontal moving structure 42 so that it will not interfere with the label printer 3 when moving. Through the cooperation of the horizontal moving structure 42, the vertical moving structure 43, the rotating structure 44 and the adsorption structure 45, the horizontal moving structure 42 can drive the vertical moving structure 43 to move horizontally, the vertical moving structure 43 can drive the rotating structure 44 to move vertically, and the rotating structure 44 can drive the adsorption structure 45 to rotate, so that the adsorption structure 45 can rotate, thereby driving the label to rotate, so that the label's adhesive surface rotates, ensuring that the label can be pasted on the back of the combination lock.

[0035] See appendix Figure 7As shown, in this utility model, the horizontal moving structure 42 includes a first linear module 421 mounted on a mounting frame 41, a horizontal power source 422 mounted on the first linear module 421, and a horizontal moving platform 423 mounted on the first linear module 421. The vertical moving structure 43 is mounted on the horizontal moving platform 423. The first linear module 421 is horizontally arranged, and limit switches are installed on the first linear module 421 and the horizontal moving platform 423. The horizontal power source 422 can be a motor. When the horizontal power source 422 is started, the horizontal moving platform 423 can be moved along the first linear module 421.

[0036] See appendix Figure 7 As shown, in this utility model, the vertical moving structure 43 includes a second linear module 431 mounted on a horizontal moving platform 423, a vertical power source 432 mounted on the second linear module 431, a vertical moving platform 433 mounted on the second linear module 431, and a rotating structure 44 mounted on the vertical moving platform 433. The rotating structure 44 is mounted on the vertical moving platform 433, the second linear module is vertically mounted, and limit switches are also installed on the second linear module 431 and the vertical moving platform 433. The vertical power source 432 is a motor, and when the vertical power source 432 is started, the vertical moving platform 433 can move along the second linear module 431.

[0037] See appendix Figure 7 As shown, in this utility model, the rotating structure 44 includes a side posture cylinder 441 mounted on the vertical moving stage 433 and a connecting plate 442 mounted on the side posture cylinder 441; wherein, the adsorption structure 45 is mounted on the connecting plate 442, and the adsorption structure 45 includes a vacuum suction cup 451 mounted on the vertical moving structure 43.

[0038] This invention uses a side-position cylinder 441 as a rotational power source to drive the connecting plate 442 to rotate 90°; the adsorption structure 45 is set as a vacuum suction cup 451. It should be noted that a vacuum pump is installed on the worktable 1 and connected to the vacuum suction cup 451 through a hose, so as to ensure that the vacuum suction cup 451 can vacuum-suction the label and make the label move.

[0039] See appendix Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this invention, the limiting component 5 includes a telescopic cylinder 51 mounted on the workbench 1 and an abutment 52 mounted on the telescopic cylinder 51. This invention uses the telescopic cylinder 51 as a power source to move the abutment 52, causing it to abut against the combination lock. This prevents the combination lock from separating from the combination lock fixture 2 during label application, ensuring that the label can be applied correctly.

[0040] See appendix Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this utility model, the combination lock fixture 2 includes a fixture base 21 mounted on a rotating disk 63, end blocks 22 mounted on both ends of the fixture base 21, a connecting post 23 mounted on the end blocks 22, a slider 24 movably mounted on the connecting post 23, a lock seat 25 mounted on the slider 24, a lock sleeve 26 mounted on the lock seat 25, and a limiting plate 27 mounted on the lock seat 25 for limiting the lock sleeve 26; wherein, the lock sleeve 26 is provided with a lock groove 261 corresponding to the combination lock, and a spring 231 is fitted on the connecting post 23. When the abutting member 52 abuts against the combination lock, the combination lock will push the slider 24 to move along the connecting post 23, compressing the spring 231.

[0041] See appendix Figure 1 — Figure 7 As shown, the labeling process of this utility model is as follows:

[0042] First, the worker manually installs the combination locks to be labeled into the lock slots 261 at the loading station. Then, the equipment is started via the PLC controller, and the power source 62 drives the rotating disk 63 to rotate at equal angles via the cam divider 61. Next, the worker installs the combination locks to be labeled onto the combination lock fixture 2, which is now back at the loading station. If there are already labeled combination locks on the fixture 2, they are removed first. After the rotating disk 63 rotates several times, when the combination lock to be labeled reaches the labeling station, the label pasting component 4 and the limiting component 5 are activated via the PLC controller. At this time, the telescopic cylinder 51 in the limiting component 5 retracts, causing the abutment 52 to abut against the combination lock on the fixture 2, limiting the lock's position. Simultaneously, the horizontal power source 422 drives the horizontal moving table 423 to move, causing the vertical moving structure 43 to move to the label outlet of the label printer 3. Then, the vertical power source 432 in the vertical moving structure 43 is activated, causing the vertical moving table 433 to descend. The vacuum suction cup 451 is lowered by the side-positioning cylinder 441, while the vacuum pump draws the vacuum suction cup 451, allowing it to pick up the label. This ensures the label moves with the vacuum suction cup 451. After the vacuum suction cup 451 moves to the designated position and stays for the designated time to pick up the label, the vertical moving structure 43 moves upward. Then, the horizontal moving stage 423 moves along the first linear module 421 towards the combination lock until it reaches the designated position. The vertical moving structure 43 then lowers the rotating structure 44, and the side-positioning cylinder 441 in the rotating structure 44 rotates the connecting plate 442, causing the label on the vacuum suction cup 451 to rotate so that the label's adhesive side faces the back of the combination lock. The horizontal moving structure 42 then moves the vacuum suction cup 451 to the other end, affixing the label to the back of the combination lock. After affixing, the limiting component 5 resets, releasing the limit on the combination lock. Simultaneously, the label affixing component 4 resets towards the label printer, preparing for the next label pickup.

[0043] The above embodiments are illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any simple modifications to this application are within the protection scope of this application.
