Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal connector manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to an automatic labeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Terminal connectors are important components in electronic devices used to transmit current or signals. They consist of two parts: terminals (connectors) and wires (cables). The circuit can be quickly connected and disconnected by inserting or crimping the terminals.

[0003] In existing technologies, terminal connectors typically require labeling after processing for subsequent sales. However, the wire diameter of terminal connectors used in electronic devices is usually very small, making it difficult for humans to handle accurately. Manually labeling such wires is time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing production efficiency and increasing labor costs. Currently, there is no equipment for automatically labeling these terminal connectors.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary for the inventors to design a new automatic labeling machine to overcome the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic labeling machine includes: a mounting base plate 1 and a mounting frame 2 fixedly connected to each other; a plurality of telescopic gripper assemblies 11 are slidably disposed on the mounting frame 2, the telescopic gripper assemblies 11 being used to grip wire 3 on a feeding tray 17; a receiving assembly is slidably disposed on the mounting base plate 1, the receiving assembly being used to receive labels and labeled wire 3; the telescopic gripper assemblies 11 are also used to transport the wire 3 above the receiving assembly, the sliding direction of the telescopic gripper assemblies 11 being at 90° with the sliding direction of the receiving assembly; and a label feeding assembly is also included, used to convey labels to the receiving assembly. The receiving assembly includes a label pasting table 18 and a storage bin 4 fixedly connected to each other, the label pasting table 18 and the storage bin 4 sliding sequentially directly below the telescopic gripper assemblies 11. The label pasting table 18 includes two support columns 5, with a gap 6 between the two support columns 5 adapted to the wire 3, and the tops of the two support columns 5 jointly supporting the same label.

[0024] Specifically, the wire 3 on the feeding tray 17 is gripped by the telescopic gripper assembly 11 and moved above the receiving assembly. At this time, the label pasting platform 18 is moved below the gripped wire 3. Then, the telescopic gripper assembly 11 moves downward, causing the wire 3 to fall into the gap 6 between the two support columns 5. Since the labels are placed on the two support columns 5, the wire 3 will first fall onto the labels during its descent. The middle part of the label will gradually wrap around the outer surface of the wire 3, and the two ends of the label will stick to each other, realizing automatic label pasting. Then, the telescopic gripper moves upward to reset, and the label pasting platform 18 slides in the opposite direction to reset. At this time, the storage compartment 4 is located below the gripped wire 3. Releasing the telescopic gripper assembly 11 will allow the labeled wire 3 to fall and be stored.

[0025] In this embodiment, the transfer of wire 3 is achieved by setting the telescopic gripper assembly 11 to slide between the feeding tray 17 and the receiving assembly. The label is pasted by the lifting and lowering of the telescopic gripper and the cooperation between it and the gap 6 between the two lifting columns, thereby realizing the automation of labeling wire 3 and greatly improving the production efficiency of terminal connection wire.

[0026] The telescopic gripper assembly 11 includes a lifting cylinder 7 and a gripper cylinder 8. The lifting cylinder 7 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 2 via a slide plate 9 fixedly connected to it. A lifting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 7. The gripper cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 10, and the gripper assembly 11 is fixedly mounted to the output end of the gripper cylinder 8. A slide rail 12 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 2, and the slide plate 9 is slidably connected to the slide rail 12.

[0027] Specifically, the lifting cylinder 7 controls the lifting of the gripper assembly 11, the gripper cylinder 8 controls the opening and closing of the grippers, and the slide plate 9 can be driven by an external drive assembly to slide on the slide rail 12. The gripper assembly 11 here should have at least two grippers, so that the wire 3 can have two gripping points. In this way, when the wire 3 between the two gripping points falls into the gap 6, it can be in a rigid state to overcome the friction of the side wall of the gap 6 and fall stably.

[0028] The support column 5 is also provided with several negative pressure holes 13. Specifically, after the label is placed on the two support columns 5, the label pasting table 18 needs to be moved. Since the label is small and light, it is easy to fall off during the movement. Therefore, the negative pressure holes 13 are provided to perform negative pressure adsorption on the label. In addition to this fixing method, other fixing methods can also be used to fix the label to prevent it from falling off during the movement.

[0029] Several elastic clamping plates 14 are also fixedly provided on the opposite end faces of the two support columns 5. Specifically, the distance between the two support columns 5 is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the wire 3. The elastic clamping plates 14 are provided so that the label can be more tightly attached to the surface of the wire 3 when the wire 3 is moving downward.

[0030] The label feeding assembly includes a label conveying device 15 and a label cutting device 16. The output end of the label conveying device 15 faces the label pasting table 18, and the label cutting device 16 is used to cut the labels that fall onto the label pasting table 18. Specifically, the label conveying device 15 is used to convey the label material reel, and the cutting device is used to cut the labels. The cut labels fall onto two support columns 5.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
