Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an injection blow labeling machine, and more particularly to a rotary swing arm injection blow labeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In some industries such as chemical, medical, and food, most labeling processes are currently semi-automatic, requiring multiple human interventions to complete the label picking and labeling processes. In some cases, manual labeling is still the primary method, resulting in low efficiency. Additionally, some injection molding machines are multi-station, multi-template rotary vertical injection molding machines, where the templates for some labeling processes are not parallel to the machine's shape. If a conventional telescopic labeling machine arm is used, the position of the labeling machine arm needs to be adjusted accordingly, which is easily limited by space constraints. Utility Model Content

One end of the frame platform is provided with a rotating component, and the output end of the rotating component is fixedly connected to a linear guide rail. A labeling robot is slidably connected to the linear guide rail. The other end of the frame platform is provided with a label storage compartment component. The labeling robot includes a fixed frame, an upper movable arm, a lower movable arm, and a label picking drive component for controlling the relative movement of the upper and lower movable arms to pick up labels. The fixed frame is slidably connected to the linear guide rail, and the label picking drive component is fixedly connected to the fixed frame.

Below the lower label bin, there is a label transfer device for removing the labels from the lower label bin and moving the labels directly below the upper label bin to facilitate simultaneous material handling by the upper and lower movable arms.

[0006] Preferably, the label transfer device includes a horizontal drive component, a vertical drive component, and a picking arm. The horizontal drive component is fixedly connected to the support frame and its output end is perpendicular to the label bin. The vertical drive component is fixedly connected to the output end of the horizontal drive component and its output end is vertically upward. The picking arm is fixedly connected to the output end of the horizontal drive component, and a second vacuum suction cup is provided at the upper end of the picking arm.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the support frame is provided with a slide rail perpendicular to the lower index bin, and the slide rail is slidably connected to an mounting plate. The transverse drive assembly includes a first cylinder, and the longitudinal drive assembly includes a second cylinder.

[0021] This utility model proposes a rotary swing arm injection blowing labeling machine.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in one embodiment of this utility model, a rotary swing arm injection blow labeling machine includes a frame platform 1. A rotating component 2 is provided at one end of the frame platform 1. A linear guide rail 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating component 2. A labeling robot 4 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 3. A label storage bin component 5 for storing labels is provided at the other end of the frame platform 1. The labeling robot 4 includes a fixed frame, an upper movable arm 41, a lower movable arm 42, and a label picking drive component for controlling the relative movement of the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 to pick up labels. The fixed frame is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 3, and the label picking drive component is fixedly connected to the fixed frame. A first vacuum suction cup 43 is provided on both the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42.

[0023] In this embodiment, the labeling machine arm is driven to rotate to the label bin assembly 5 by the rotating component 2. Then, the label picking drive component drives the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 to pick up the label from the label bin assembly 5. Then, the rotating component 2 is driven to rotate the labeling machine arm to the appropriate direction. Then, the linear guide rail 3 drives the labeling machine arm to extend and apply the label. By setting the labeling machine arm to a rotary labeling type, the floor space is reduced and the labeling efficiency is improved.

[0024] Preferably, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the label collection assembly 5 includes a support frame 67, an upper label collection 51, and a lower label collection 52. The support frame 67 is fixedly connected to the frame platform 1. Both the upper label collection 51 and the lower label collection 52 are fixedly connected to the support frame 67, and are arranged side by side with one higher and one lower and staggered. The lower ends of both the upper label collection 51 and the lower label collection 52 are provided with material inlets. The material inlets are provided with baffles to hold the labels and prevent them from falling. Below the lower label collection 52, there is a label transfer device 6 for taking out the labels from the lower label collection 52 and moving the labels to directly below the upper label collection 51 so that the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 can pick up the labels at the same time. The label transfer device 6 takes out the labels from the lower label collection 52 and moves them to directly below the upper label collection 51 so that the label picking drive assembly can drive the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 to move in opposite directions and pick up the labels at the same time.

[0025] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the label transfer device 6 in this embodiment includes a horizontal drive component, a vertical drive component, and a picking arm 65. The horizontal drive component is fixedly connected to the support frame 67 and its output end is set perpendicular to the lower label bin 52. The vertical drive component is fixedly connected to the output end of the horizontal drive component and its output end is set vertically upward. The picking arm 65 is fixedly connected to the output end of the horizontal drive component. The upper end of the picking arm 65 is provided with a second vacuum suction cup 66. The vertical drive component drives the vertical drive component to move below the lower label bin 52, and then the vertical drive component drives the picking arm 65 to rise to pick up the label. Then the horizontal drive component moves the picking arm 65 to directly below the upper label bin.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the bottom of the support frame 67 is provided with a slide rail 62 perpendicular to the lower label bin 52. The slide rail 62 extends to the bottom of the upper label bin 51. The slide rail 62 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 63. The horizontal drive component includes a first cylinder 61, and the vertical drive component includes a second cylinder 64. The first cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the support frame 67, and the output end of the first cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 63. The second cylinder 64 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 63. The picking arm 65 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder 64. The first cylinder 61 drives the picking arm 65 to move back and forth between the upper and lower labels. The second cylinder 64 controls the picking arm 65 to rise and pick up the labels.

[0027] Optionally, the lateral drive assembly structure may include a motor and a lead screw. The motor is driven to one end of the lead screw, and the other end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the support frame 67. A drive block is threaded onto the lead screw, and the drive block is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 63. Alternatively, the lateral drive assembly structure may directly drive the mounting plate 63 to extend and retract via the linear guide rail 3. The mounting plate 63 is fixed to the slider of the linear guide rail 3. The longitudinal drive assembly structure is similar to that of the lateral drive assembly and can be driven by a motor and a lead screw, or by the linear guide rail 3.

[0028] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating component 2 includes a drive motor 21, which is fixedly connected to the frame platform 1. The output end of the drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to the linear guide rail 3. The drive motor 21 directly drives the labeling robot 4 mounted on the linear guide rail 3 to rotate.

[0029] In one possible implementation, an encoder is installed on the rotating shaft of the drive motor 21. The encoder type can be an incremental encoder or an absolute encoder. The encoder must be precisely installed on the shaft of the drive motor 21 to ensure that the encoder is concentric with the motor shaft. Otherwise, measurement errors will occur. During installation, a coupling can be used for connection. By adjusting the position of the coupling and using a dial indicator to measure the coaxiality, the coaxiality error can be controlled within a very small range, thereby accurately controlling the rotation angle of the labeling robot arm 4.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the label-taking drive assembly includes a finger cylinder 44, which is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 3. The upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 are fixedly connected to the two output ends of the finger cylinder 44, respectively. The finger cylinder 44 drives the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 to move relative to each other or in opposite directions, which facilitates label taking and labeling.

[0031] Optionally, in one feasible implementation, the label-taking drive assembly includes a motor, a main drive gear, and two driven gears. The main drive gear is fixedly mounted on the motor's rotating shaft, and the two driven gears are respectively mounted at both ends of the main drive gear and mesh with it. The upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 are each provided with a vertical transmission rack at the end away from the first vacuum suction cup 43. The transmission racks of the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 are respectively connected to the two driven gears, and the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 are driven to move relative to each other simultaneously by the motor.

[0032] Optionally, the label-taking drive assembly structure may also include two motors, with gears mounted on the rotating shafts of the two motors respectively. Vertical transmission racks are provided at the ends of the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 away from the first vacuum suction cup 43. The two gears are respectively connected to the two transmission racks, and the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 are controlled to move closer to each other or further away from each other by the two motors.

[0033] Optionally, the labeling assembly 5 includes a support frame 67, an upper labeling compartment 51, and a lower labeling compartment 52. The support frame 67 is fixedly connected to the frame platform 1. Both the upper labeling compartment 51 and the lower labeling compartment 52 are fixedly connected to the support frame 67, and are arranged side by side with one higher than the other, so that the lower labeling compartment 52 is directly below the upper labeling compartment 51. The lower end of the upper labeling compartment 51 has a discharge port, and the upper end of the lower labeling compartment 52 has a discharge port. At the bottom of the lower labeling compartment 52, there is a lifting assembly for lifting the label. The lifting assembly includes a motor, a lead screw, and a lifting plate. The motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower labeling compartment 52 with its rotating shaft vertically upward. The lead screw is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the motor, and the lifting plate is threadedly connected to the lead screw. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the lifting plate to rise and push the label to the discharge port at the upper end of the lower labeling compartment 52, so that the labeling robot 4 can remove the label at the same time.

[0034] Specifically, the working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The labeling machine arm is driven to rotate to the label bin assembly 5 by the rotating component 2, and then the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 are driven by the label picking drive component to take out the label from the label bin assembly 5. Then, the rotating component 2 is driven to rotate the labeling machine arm to a suitable direction, and then the labeling machine arm is driven to extend and apply the label by the linear guide rail 3. By setting the labeling machine arm to a rotary labeling type, the floor space is reduced and the labeling efficiency is improved.

[0035] Specifically, the label transfer device 6 picks up the label from the bottom of the lower label compartment 52 and moves it directly below the upper label compartment 51. Then, the label picking drive assembly drives the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 to simultaneously pick up the label from the bottom of the upper label compartment 51 and the label transfer device 6. The rotating assembly 2 then rotates the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 to a preset position. Finally, the linear guide rail 3 drives the upper movable arm 41 and the lower movable arm 42 to extend to the labeling position for labeling.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
