[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0018] Example:

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 An adjustable automated carton labeling mechanism is shown, comprising a guide channel 1 and a slide cylinder 4. The guide channel 1 is inclined. A base 401 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the slide cylinder 4. A gantry frame 2 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the guide channel 1. A first cylinder 3 is mounted on the gantry frame 2. A baffle 301 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 3. A rotating device is fixedly connected to the base 401. The rotating device includes a motor 501 and a rotating shaft 502. A slide 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 502. A second cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the slide 6. A vacuum adsorption plate 701 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder 7. A clearance groove 101 is opened on the guide channel 1, and the clearance groove 101 is correspondingly arranged with the vacuum adsorption plate 701.

[0020] A guide groove is provided on the gantry frame 2 to guide and support the sliding of the baffle 301. A limit plate 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the gantry frame 2 to support and block the carton when the label is attached.

[0021] The motor 501 is fixedly connected to the base 401. The motor 501 can drive the rotating shaft 502 to rotate on the base 401. During the rotation, it drives the second cylinder 7 and the slide 6 to rotate. A locking screw 601 is threaded onto the slide 6. The position of the slide 6 can be adjusted by sliding on the rotating shaft 502 to complete the adjustment structure. The position of the slide 6 is fixed by tightening the locking screw 601.

[0022] Multiple adsorption holes are formed on the vacuum adsorption plate 701, and the multiple adsorption holes are arranged in an array on the vacuum adsorption plate 701. The array of multiple adsorption holes can improve the adsorption effect on the label and prevent the label from falling off during the labeling process.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When applying labels, first adjust the position of the slide block 6 according to the required label application position, slide the slide block 6 along the rotating shaft 502 to adjust the position, and after the adjustment is completed, tighten the locking screw 601 to fix the slide block 6 on the rotating shaft 502.

[0024] First, the piston rod of the first cylinder 3 extends, and the baffle 301 rises. At this time, the carton is placed from the top of the guide channel 1. Under the action of gravity, the carton falls onto the baffle 301. Then, the label attaching action is performed. First, the motor 501 drives the slide 6 and the second cylinder 7 to rotate downwards by 90°. Then, the piston rod of the slide cylinder 4 extends, and the vacuum adsorption plate 701 moves to the picking station to adsorb the label for picking (at the picking station, the label is printed by an external printer. The label is parallel to the vacuum adsorption plate 701 at the picking station and is vacuum adsorbed by the vacuum adsorption plate 701). Then, the piston rod of the slide cylinder 4 retracts, and the motor 501 drives the slide 6 and the second cylinder 7 to reset. Then, the piston rod of the second cylinder 7 extends, and the vacuum adsorption plate 701 holds the label and attaches it to the carton. Then, the piston rods of the second cylinder 7 and the first cylinder 3 retract in sequence, and the carton slides down from the guide channel 1 for unloading.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
