Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation technology, specifically a mark-winding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, pipes (such as air hoses and flexible tubes) typically need to be labeled for product identification, tracking, and management. Traditional labeling mechanisms usually rely on manual adjustment of the labeling wheel spacing to accommodate pipes of different diameters, which is time-consuming, cannot achieve rapid switching operations, and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a label-wrapping mechanism. By automatically adjusting the spacing between two sets of label-wrapping wheel assemblies through a support component, manual intervention is unnecessary. This allows for rapid adaptation to label-wrapping operations on pipes of different diameters, improving equipment versatility. Driven by a rotating mechanism, the label-wrapping wheel assemblies tightly wrap the label around the pipe, ensuring a smooth and even label application. A support plate opens the two sets of label-wrapping wheel assemblies, combined with automatic label wrapping via a rotating plate, achieving a cyclical operation of "opening → pipe entry → labeling → wrapping → resetting," significantly reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency. The inclined surface design of the support plate ensures smooth separation of the label-wrapping wheel assemblies, preventing jamming and solving the problems of low efficiency and poor adaptability in traditional labeling methods.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0005] The marker winding mechanism includes a base, on which a channel is provided, and on which the following are disposed:

[0006] A rotating plate is rotatably disposed on the outer periphery of the channel;

[0007] A rotating mechanism, connected to the rotating plate, is used to drive the rotating plate to rotate around the axis of the channel;

[0008] Two sets of marker winding wheel assemblies are slidably mounted on the rotating plate, and the two sets of marker winding wheel assemblies are arranged opposite each other along the channel;

[0009] The spreading assembly includes a support plate and a spreading mechanism for controlling the movement of the support plate. The support plate has two oppositely arranged inclined surfaces. Driven by the spreading mechanism, the support plate extends between the two sets of the tassel-wrapping wheel assemblies. The two sets of tassel-wrapping wheel assemblies are separated by the cooperation of the inclined surfaces with the tassel-wrapping wheel assemblies, so as to adjust the distance between the two sets of tassel-wrapping wheel assemblies.

[0010] The marking wheel assembly includes a support base and multiple rollers rotatably mounted on the support base, with the rotation axis of the rollers parallel to the axis of the channel.

[0011] The multiple rollers are arranged along an arc-shaped trajectory to form an arc-shaped support structure.

[0012] The base is also provided with a support assembly, which includes a support member and a lifting mechanism for controlling the movement of the support member. The support member is located on the underside of the rollers of the two sets of the bead-wrapping wheel assemblies.

[0013] The rotating plate is provided with two sets of first slide rails arranged in parallel. The two sets of first slide rails are located on both sides of the axial direction of the channel. The two sets of the marking wheel assemblies are slidably connected to the two sets of first slide rails respectively. A return spring is provided between the marking wheel assembly and the rotating plate.

[0014] The two or one of the winding wheel assemblies are connected to the first slide rail via a second slide rail.

[0015] The rubbing wheel assembly is rotatably equipped with follower wheels, and the support plate extends between the follower wheels on the two sets of the rubbing wheel assembly under the drive of the opening mechanism.

[0016] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating gear rotatably mounted on a base, a transmission gear set connected to the rotating gear, and a rotating motor that drives the transmission gear set. The central axis of the rotating gear coincides with the axis of the channel, and the rotating plate is fixedly mounted on the rotating gear.

[0017] The transmission gear set includes a drive gear mounted on the output shaft of a rotary motor and a transition gear meshing with the drive gear. The transition gear meshes with the rotary gear to form a speed reduction transmission structure.

[0018] The base is also equipped with a feeding mechanism and a finger cylinder.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. This utility model automatically adjusts the spacing between the two sets of label-winding wheel assemblies by using a support component, eliminating the need for manual intervention. It can quickly adapt to label-winding operations on pipes of different diameters, improving the equipment's versatility. Driven by a rotating mechanism, the label-winding wheel assemblies tightly wrap the label around the pipe, ensuring a smooth and even label application. The support plate opens the two sets of label-winding wheel assemblies, and combined with the automatic label-winding operation of the rotating plate, it realizes a cyclical operation of "opening → pipe entry → labeling → wrapping → resetting," significantly reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency. The inclined surface design of the support plate ensures smooth separation of the label-winding wheel assemblies, avoiding jamming and solving the problems of low efficiency and poor adaptability of traditional labeling methods.

[0021] 2. In this utility model, one or more sets of the marking wheel assemblies are connected to the first slide rail via a second slide rail, which facilitates fine adjustment of the spacing between the two sets of marking wheel assemblies.

[0022] 3. The marking wheel assembly of this utility model has a follower wheel that is rotatably installed on it. The inclined surface of the support plate makes rolling contact with the follower wheel, which reduces the resistance to the movement of the support plate and can also reduce the wear of the contact surface.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same components. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a label winding mechanism, including a base 1. The base 1 has a channel for pipes such as air supply pipes and hoses to pass through. The base 1 is provided with a rotating plate 2, a rotating mechanism 3, two sets of label winding wheel assemblies 4 arranged opposite to each other, and a spreading assembly 5. Exemplarily, the base 1 includes a base plate 11 and supporting ribs 12 supporting the base plate 11. The base plate 11 has a front and a back side facing each other. The rotating plate 2, the label winding wheel assembly 4, and the spreading assembly 5 are all arranged on the front side of the base plate 11.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotating plate 2 is rotatably disposed on the outer periphery of the channel; the rotating mechanism 3 is connected to the rotating plate 2 and is used to drive the rotating plate 2 to rotate around the axis of the channel; both sets of the label-winding wheel assemblies 4 are slidably disposed on the rotating plate 2, and the two sets of the label-winding wheel assemblies 4 are arranged opposite to each other along the channel. The opening assembly 5 is located below the label-winding wheel assembly 4 and includes a support plate 51 and an opening mechanism 52 that controls the movement of the support plate 51. The support plate 51 has two oppositely arranged inclined surfaces 511, and the distance between the two inclined surfaces 511 gradually increases from the side closer to the label-winding wheel assembly 4 to the side farther away from the label-winding wheel assembly 4. Driven by the opening mechanism 52, the support plate 51 extends between the two sets of the label-winding wheel assemblies 4, and the two sets of the label-winding wheel assemblies 4 are separated by the cooperation of the inclined surfaces 511 and the label-winding wheel assembly 4, so as to adjust the distance between the two sets of the label-winding wheel assemblies 4. The opening mechanism 52 can be a cylinder, an electric push rod, etc.

[0033] Under the action of the spreading mechanism 52, the drive plate 51 moves upward, causing it to extend between the two sets of label-winding wheel assemblies 4. This separates the label-winding wheel assemblies 4 to a suitable distance, facilitating the delivery of tubing such as air pipes and hoses 9 between the two sets of label-winding wheel assemblies 4. A label-absorbing and label-applying robot (not shown in the figure, but a multi-axis robot from existing technology can be used) initially applies the label to the tubing 9. The spreading mechanism 52 drives the drive plate 51 to descend, and the rotating mechanism 3 drives the rotating plate 2 to rotate the label-winding wheel assemblies 4, thus realizing the label-winding operation. After the label-winding is completed, the spreading mechanism 52 drives the drive plate 51 to move upward again, causing the two sets of label-winding wheel assemblies 4 to move away from each other. The tubing 9 is then delivered forward a certain distance, allowing for another round of label-winding operation.

[0034] This invention automatically adjusts the spacing between the two sets of label-wrapping wheel assemblies 4 using the spreading component 5 (spreading plate 51 + spreading mechanism 52), eliminating the need for manual intervention. It can quickly adapt to labeling operations on pipes 9 of different diameters, improving the equipment's versatility. Driven by the rotating mechanism 3, the label-wrapping wheel assembly 4 tightly wraps the label around the pipe 9, ensuring a flat label application and avoiding misalignment and wrinkling issues that occur during manual labeling. The spreading mechanism 52, driven by a cylinder / electric push rod, combined with the automatic label wrapping of the rotating plate 2, achieves a cyclical operation of "spreading → pipe entry → labeling → wrapping → resetting," significantly reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency. The inclined surface 511 of the spreading plate 51 ensures smooth separation of the label-wrapping wheel assembly 4, preventing jamming. After labeling is completed, the spreading mechanism 52 drives the spreading plate 51 to quickly reset, and the pipe 9 is automatically transported to the next workstation, supporting assembly line operations and suitable for large-volume labeling needs of pipes 9, making it suitable for continuous production. The labeling mechanism of this utility model solves the problems of low efficiency and poor adaptability of traditional labeling methods through innovative opening adjustment and rotation labeling design. It is especially suitable for automated labeling scenarios of tubing materials such as pneumatic hoses, hydraulic pipes, and medical catheters.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the label winding wheel assembly 4 includes a support base 41 and multiple rollers 42 rotatably mounted on the support base 41. The rotation axis of the rollers 42 is parallel to the axis of the channel. This label winding wheel assembly 4 has a simple structure, stable operation, and can adapt to the label winding requirements of different pipe diameters. At the same time, it reduces friction, ensures that the label adheres flatly, and improves labeling quality and efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, a plurality of rollers 42 are arranged along an arc-shaped trajectory to form an arc-shaped support structure that adapts to the outer wall of the tube 9, further ensuring the flatness and fit of the label.

[0037] In one embodiment, a support assembly 6 is further provided on the base 1. The support assembly 6 includes a support member 61 and a lifting mechanism 62 for controlling the movement of the support member 61. The lifting mechanism 62 can be a cylinder, an electric push rod, etc. The support member 61 is located below the rollers 42 of the two sets of winding wheel assemblies 4. The support member 61 can be an "L-shaped" structure, with its horizontal plate connected to the drive rod of the lifting mechanism 62 and its vertical plate located below the two sets of winding wheel assemblies 4. The support member 61 provides auxiliary support for the pipe 9, preventing the pipe 9 from sagging or shifting due to its own weight or rotational inertia, thus ensuring the winding accuracy. Furthermore, the support member 61 can adjust its lifting height under the action of the lifting mechanism 62 to ensure stable support for pipes 9 of different thicknesses, enhancing the versatility of the equipment.

[0038] In one embodiment, the rotating plate 2 is provided with two sets of first slide rails 21 arranged in parallel. The two sets of first slide rails 21 are respectively located on both sides of the axial direction of the channel. The two sets of label winding wheel assemblies 4 are slidably connected to the two sets of first slide rails 21 respectively. A return spring 22 is provided between the label winding wheel assembly 4 and the rotating plate 2 to reset the label winding wheel assembly 4.

[0039] In one embodiment, one or more of the two sets of the tassel-wrapping wheel assemblies 4 are connected to the first slide rail 21 via a second slide rail 48, which facilitates fine adjustment of the spacing between the two sets of the tassel-wrapping wheel assemblies 4.

[0040] In one embodiment, a follower wheel 43 is rotatably mounted on the marking wheel assembly 4, and the support plate 51 can extend between the follower wheels 43 on the two sets of marking wheel assemblies 4 under the drive of the spreading mechanism 52. The inclined surface 511 of the support plate 51 makes rolling contact with the follower wheel 43 to reduce wear on the contact surface.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the first slide rail 21 is located on the upper and lower sides of the channel. The label winding wheel assembly 4 on the right side is mounted on the sliding seat of the upper first slide rail 21 via an upper extension plate 44. A return spring 22 is disposed between the upper extension plate 44 and the rotating plate 2. A follower wheel 43 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the lower extension plate 45. The upper extension plate 44 and the lower extension plate 45 are connected. The label winding wheel assembly 4 on the left side is mounted on the sliding seat of the second slide rail 48 via a connecting plate 46. The second slide rail 48 is mounted on the sliding seat of the lower first slide rail 21 via a support plate 47. The follower wheel 43 is disposed on the support plate 47. An elastic element can also be disposed between the connecting plate 46 and the support plate 47 to facilitate the reset of the label winding wheel assembly 4.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a rotating gear 31 rotatably mounted on the base 1, a transmission gear set 32 ​​connected to the rotating gear 31, and a rotating motor 33 driving the transmission gear set 32. The rotating gear 31 is connected to the base plate 11 of the base 1 via a bearing. The central axis of the rotating gear 31 coincides with the axis of the channel. The rotating plate 2 is fixedly mounted on the rotating gear 31. The rotating motor 33 drives the transmission gear set 32 ​​to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating gear 31 to rotate, thereby rotating the rotating plate 2 mounted on the rotating gear 31 to achieve the mark winding operation.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transmission gear set 32 ​​includes a drive gear 321 mounted on the output shaft of the rotary motor 33 and a transition gear 322 meshing with the drive gear 321. The transition gear 322 meshes with the rotary gear 31 to form a speed reduction transmission structure.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is also equipped with a feeding mechanism 7 and a finger cylinder 8. The feeding mechanism 7 is used for intermittently conveying the pipe 9, and the finger cylinder 8 is used for clamping the pipe 9. Both the feeding mechanism 7 and the finger cylinder 8 can be existing structures, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 7 includes a rotatably mounted drive wheel 71 and a driven wheel 72, located on opposite sides of the channel. The drive wheel 71 rotates under the action of a power source (such as a stepper motor or servo motor), and through its coordinated action with the driven wheel 72, clamps and pushes the tube 9 along the channel axial direction, thus achieving intermittent feeding of the tube 9. The two fingers of the finger cylinder 8 can perform clamping and releasing operations. When wrapping the label, the two fingers clamp the cylinder to facilitate label wrapping and application, and release the two fingers to transport the tube 9.

[0045] The working process of this utility model is as follows: the spreading mechanism 52 drives the support plate 51 to move upward and extend between the two sets of label winding wheel assemblies 4 so that the two sets of label winding wheel assemblies 4 are far apart from each other. The lifting mechanism 62 drives the support member 61 to move upward to the lower side of the two sets of label winding wheel assemblies 4. The two fingers of the finger cylinder 8 open. The feeding mechanism 7 delivers the air tube, hose, and tube 9 waiting to be labeled to the two sets of label winding wheel assemblies 4. The two fingers of the finger cylinder 8 clamp the tube 9. The label suction and labeling robot (not shown in the figure) initially applies the label to the hose. The spreading mechanism 52 drives the support plate 51 to descend, the lifting mechanism 62 drives the support member 61 to descend, the rotary motor 33 runs, and drives the rotary plate 2 to rotate the label winding wheel assembly 4 to realize the label winding operation.

[0046] Those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described above are merely examples and not limitations. Various modifications, combinations, partial combinations, and substitutions can be made to the embodiments of this utility model according to design requirements and other factors, as long as they are within the scope of the appended claims or their equivalents, and thus fall within the scope of the rights to be protected by this utility model.
