Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of label picking equipment technology, specifically a dual-station label picking mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The dual-station label-removing mechanism is a highly efficient automated device that can simultaneously perform label placement and removal at two different stations. The design philosophy of this mechanism focuses on improving production efficiency by reducing reliance on manual operation, thereby effectively achieving the goal of quickly and accurately applying or removing labels. This equipment is particularly suitable for production environments requiring high-efficiency and high-precision label processing, such as in the electronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical packaging, and food processing industries. The dual-station label-grabbing mechanism can significantly improve the automation level of the workflow, reduce labor costs, and decrease production defects caused by human error, thereby improving overall production quality and efficiency. However, existing dual-station label-grabbing mechanisms still have some drawbacks, such as: 1. Existing technologies use dual printers to print two labels to meet cycle time requirements, resulting in an excessively complex structure, complicated installation and debugging, and high costs; 2. The anti-sticking effect of the label-grabbing block in existing technologies is not ideal, causing labels to be unable to be picked up by the lower station mechanism; 3. To accommodate 100mm long labels, existing technologies require a row of holes in the suction cup block, resulting in poor suction performance. Therefore, we propose a dual-station label-grabbing mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-station label picking mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A fixing plate is provided on the bottom left side of the printer body. A misalignment cylinder is provided on the top rear end face of the fixing plate. Label picking cylinder one and label picking cylinder two are arranged side by side at the top center of the fixing plate. Special pad one is provided on the right side of label picking cylinder one, and special pad two is provided on the right side of label picking cylinder two.
[0007] The bottom of special pad one and special pad two are respectively provided with suction cup block one and suction cup block two, and a vision mechanism is provided on the right side of the top front face of the fixing plate.
[0008] Furthermore: the vision mechanism includes a fixed base, a column is provided on the top of the fixed base, a fixed rod is provided on the top of the column, a camera is provided on the fixed rod, and the camera is located above special pad one and special pad two.
[0009] Furthermore: Fixing blocks are provided on both the bottom sides of the front and rear ends of the printer body, and waist holes are vertically provided on each fixing block.
[0010] Furthermore: the bottoms of label-picking cylinder one and label-picking cylinder two are connected to a mounting base, the bottom of the mounting base is provided with a guide groove in the longitudinal direction, and the top of the fixing plate is provided with a guide rail that matches the guide groove in the longitudinal direction.

[0012] Furthermore: Label picking cylinder one and label picking cylinder two are arranged horizontally parallel to each other on the top front and rear end faces of the fixed plate, and label picking cylinder one and label picking cylinder two are set at the same height.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This dual-station label picking mechanism simplifies the operation and mechanism of the original dual-printer mechanism by using a dual-station label picking mode. It saves one printer / one vision mechanism / one label picking mechanism, simplifies the difficulty of structure / operation / installation and debugging, and reduces equipment costs.
[0015] The simplified mechanism ensured that the overall cycle time of the equipment was not reduced;
[0016] The anti-sticking effect of the suction cup block has been optimized, and a custom silicone plate has been used to solve the problem of label paper adhesion, reducing the abnormality of the equipment.
[0017] The stability of the suction cup tag adsorption has been improved by optimizing the method of one air inlet corresponding to one air outlet and reducing the number of suction cup holes.
[0018] The system adopts a single printer with dual-station material handling mode, eliminating the need for a Teflon anti-stick coating on the suction cup surface. Instead, a custom silicone plate is attached to the suction cup surface to solve the label adhesion problem. The system also uses a single air inlet corresponding to a single air outlet and reduces the number of suction cup holes. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a dual-station label picking mechanism, including a printer body 1 and a vision mechanism 9;
[0024] A fixing plate is located on the bottom left side of the printer body 1. A misalignment cylinder 2 is located on the top rear end face of the fixing plate. Label picking cylinder 3 and label picking cylinder 6 are arranged side by side at the top center of the fixing plate. A special pad 4 is located to the right of label picking cylinder 3, and a special pad 8 is located to the right of label picking cylinder 6. Suction cup block 5 and suction cup block 7 are respectively located at the bottom of special pad 4 and special pad 8. A vision mechanism 9 is located on the right side of the top front face of the fixing plate. When label picking cylinder 3 extends, the printer body 1 begins to print and peel the label onto special pad 4. Vacuum adsorption is used to pick up the label through suction cup block 5. When label picking cylinder 3 retracts, misalignment cylinder 2 retracts, and label picking cylinder 6 extends, the printer body 1 begins to print and peel the label onto special pad 8. Vacuum adsorption is used to pick up the label through suction cup block 7. When label picking cylinder 6 retracts, vision mechanism 9 starts to take pictures to guide the robot to pick up the label.
[0025] Preferably, the vision mechanism 9 includes a fixed base, a column is provided on the top of the fixed base, a fixed rod is provided on the top of the column, a camera is provided on the fixed rod, and the camera is located above the special pad 4 and the special pad 8.
[0026] Preferably, the printer body 1 has fixing blocks on both the front and rear end faces and the bottom sides, and each fixing block has a vertical through hole. The fixing blocks can be installed and fixed through the through holes, thereby installing and fixing the printer body 1.
[0027] Preferably, the bottoms of label-picking cylinder 3 and label-picking cylinder 6 are connected to a mounting base. The bottom of the mounting base is provided with a guide groove in the longitudinal direction, and the top of the fixing plate is provided with a guide rail that matches the guide groove in the longitudinal direction. Through the cooperation of the guide groove and the guide rail, the mounting base can move on a fixed line, so that label-picking cylinder 3 and label-picking cylinder 6 can move according to a predetermined line.
[0028] Example 2:
[0029] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: mounting holes are provided around the top of the fixing plate, allowing the fixing plate to be installed and fixed. The bottom of the fixing plate is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the printer body 1. This arrangement avoids a height difference between the bottom of the fixing plate and the bottom of the printer body 1, which would affect the installation and fixation. Label picking cylinder 3 and label picking cylinder 6 are arranged horizontally parallel to each other on the front and rear ends of the top of the fixing plate, and are set at the same height. This arrangement ensures that the label picking cylinder 3 and label picking cylinder 6 work in unison, without deviation, thus avoiding affecting the overall performance.
