[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0026] Example:
[0027] Please see Figures 1-3 A device for precision labeling and inspection of grooved grooves, comprising:
[0028] Frame 1;
[0029] Two support bases are fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1, and a sheet metal cable chain module 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the two support bases; and
[0030] Label pasting module 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the cable chain of sheet metal cable chain module 6.
[0031] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the sheet metal drag chain module 6 is used to drive the label pasting module 7 to move towards the product where the label needs to be pasted. The label pasting module 7 includes an X-axis single-axis mounting plate, an X-axis single-axis slide, a Z-axis single-axis mounting plate, a Z-axis single-axis slide, a single-axis connecting plate, a guide rail mounting plate, a cylinder mounting plate, a cylinder, a guide rail, a suction head mounting plate, a motor mounting plate, a motor, a coupling, a slotted photoelectric switch, a sensor plate, a vacuum rod, a bearing with a seat, a vacuum suction head, a manual displacement stage, a camera adjustment plate, a camera mounting plate, a CCD, a light source mounting plate, an upper light shield, and a light source. The X-axis single-axis slide drives the entire Z-axis module to move horizontally to the label peeling position. The Z-axis single-axis slide descends, and the vacuum suction head passes through... The motor-driven vacuum rod adsorbs the peeled label. A slotted photoelectric switch detects the position of the vacuum rod to ensure stable suction. The suction head carries the label back to the labeling height. The cable chain moves with the slide table to keep the line orderly. The CCD camera, with the manual displacement stage, finely adjusts the angle to capture the product labeling position. The light source assists in imaging. The system calculates the coordinate deviation. The X / Z axis slide table adjusts its position according to the CCD data. The suction head is precisely pressed down by the guide rail and cylinder to adhere the label to the product surface. The cylinder applies pressure to ensure the label is firmly adhered. After the vacuum suction head releases the label, it resets. The CCD re-inspects the label position, angle, and integrity. The light source and light shield optimize the imaging environment to determine whether it is qualified or not. If the inspection fails, the system alarms or triggers the rework process.
[0032] Specifically, two single-axis electric slides 4 are fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1, and spring-locking fixture bearing plates 5 are fixedly installed on the output ends of the two single-axis electric slides 4.
[0033] In this embodiment, two single-axis electric slides 4 are used to drive two spring-locking fixture support plates 5 to move to the lower side of the label pasting module 7. The two spring-locking fixture support plates 5 are used to carry the products that need to be labeled. Both spring-locking fixture support plates 5 are spring-locking fixtures. When the fixture plate is placed on the fixture plate positioning plate, the fixture plate plus the weight of the product presses on the ball plungers on the front and side. The ball plungers will press the fixture plate tightly. The fixture plate slides within the fixture plate positioning plate to the two fixed edges and then achieves positioning.
[0034] The single-axis electric slide is mounted on the machine frame, the calibration block is mounted behind the fixture plate, the fixture plate is mounted on the single-axis electric slide, the stop bar is mounted on the fixture plate, the spring is mounted between the stop bar and the fixture plate, and the ball plunger is mounted on the fixture plate.
[0035] Specifically, a label peeling module 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, the label peeling module 8 includes a peeling mounting base, a winding device, a motor mounting base, a motor, a feeding roll device, a damping mechanism, a driven wheel assembly, a driving wheel assembly, an elastic friction device, a paper-pressing cylinder mechanism, a label peeling block, a reflection sensor, a paper-pressing rod, a peeling support block, a pneumatic slide, a slide cylinder mounting plate movable shaft mounting block, a movable shaft, and label paper. The peeling mounting base is mounted on the frame, the winding device is mounted on the peeling mounting base, the motor mounting base is mounted on the peeling mounting base, the motor is mounted on the motor mounting base, the feeding roll device, the damping mechanism, the driven wheel assembly, the driving wheel assembly, the elastic friction device, and the paper-pressing cylinder mechanism are all mounted on the peeling mounting base, the label peeling block is mounted on the peeling support block, and the reflection sensor... The pressure bar is mounted on the peeling mounting base plate, the peeling support block is mounted on the pneumatic slide table, the pneumatic slide table is mounted on the slide table cylinder mounting plate, the movable shaft mounting block is mounted on the peeling support block, and the movable shaft is mounted on the movable shaft mounting block. The label paper is wound around the entire module. The working process is as follows: the label paper is drawn out from the feeding drum, the tension is controlled by the damping mechanism, and then it winds around the driven wheel and the driving wheel. The driving wheel is driven by the motor to achieve stable paper feeding. When the label paper passes the peeling block, the backing paper peels off due to the folding angle, and the label is separated. The reflection sensor detects the label position and triggers the pressure cylinder and pressure bar to fix the backing paper. The pneumatic slide table drives the peeling support block to move as a whole, and the movable shaft adapts to different label sizes. The elastic friction device ensures smooth paper feeding. The peeled backing paper is recycled by the winding device to complete the cycle.
[0037] Specifically, the top of the rack platform 1 is fixedly installed with the rack upper shell 2.
[0038] In this embodiment, the upper cover 2 of the frame is used to protect various components on the top of the frame platform 1.
[0039] Specifically, a three-color alarm light 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 2 on the frame.
[0040] In this embodiment, a solid green light indicates that the equipment is operating normally; a flashing or solid yellow light indicates warnings such as low consumables or an open cover; and a flashing or solid red light indicates faults such as paper jams or printing errors that require immediate attention. The three-color alarm light 3 helps users quickly identify problems and improves operational efficiency.
[0041] Specifically, four support legs are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame platform 1.
[0042] In this embodiment, four support feet are used to support the entire device.
[0043] Working principle: The operator places the product inside the spring-locking fixture carrier plate 5 and clicks the start button, causing the single-axis electric slide 4 to move the spring-locking fixture carrier plate 5 to the labeling position. The sheet metal cable chain module 6 moves the label pasting module 7 above the spring-locking fixture carrier plate 5 to take a picture of the groove position of the product to be labeled. The label peeling module 8 peels off the label. The sheet metal cable chain module 6 moves the label pasting module 7 above the label so that the suction head can pick up the peeled label. The label pasting module 7 then moves above the back-illumination module to take a picture of the label picked up by the suction head, positioning it and adjusting its angle. Then, the label pasting module 7 moves above the product to apply the label. Finally, the label pasting module 7 checks the position accuracy of the pasted label and scans the one-dimensional or two-dimensional barcode on the label to determine if it is mislabeled or mixed. If an abnormality occurs, an alarm is triggered and the equipment stops. If there is no abnormality, the above steps are repeated to achieve an automatic continuous production process.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
