Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of labeling machine technology, specifically to an online vision printing labeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Labeling machines are devices that affix rolls of self-adhesive labels (paper or metal foil) to PCBs, products, or prescribed packaging. As an important component of modern packaging, labeling machines not only improve production efficiency but also ensure the accuracy and consistency of product labels.

[0003] Depending on the requirements, the design of the labeling machine will also vary. Currently, labeling machines mainly transport rolls of paper with labels attached, which are then received by the transport mechanism and finally labeled onto the product. Due to the previous process steps, the labels cannot be applied to the product in real time. As this method cannot fully improve product information, such as the labeling time or code tracking, an online vision printing labeling machine can be introduced to produce labels in real time in sync with product production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online visual printing and labeling machine, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an online vision printing and labeling machine includes a lower worktable, on which a label printing station is provided for printing labels to the printing port in real time; a product transport group for transporting products to the labeling position to wait for labeling; and a three-axis robotic arm for receiving the labels produced at the printing port and transporting them to be adhered to the corresponding products.

[0006] Furthermore, the label printer table has an extension plate at the printing port end.

[0007] Furthermore, the label extends from the inside into the extension plate, and there is a gap between the printing port of the printer table and the extension plate, with a paper roll collection slot below the gap.

[0008] Furthermore, the three-axis robotic arm includes a vertically oriented assembly base, on which is provided an X-axis drive rail. A motor is located at the end of the X-axis drive rail.

[0009] Furthermore, a first vision group is also provided on the machine platform between the label printing table and the product transport group. The scanning direction of the first vision group is upward, which is used to detect whether the three-axis robotic arm has received the label. A protective enclosure is provided at the upper end of the lower worktable, and an upper worktable is provided at the upper end of the protective enclosure. A second vision group is provided on the upper worktable. The scanning direction of the second vision group is downward, which is used to detect whether the product on the product transport group has been transported to the labeling position.

[0010] Furthermore, the product transport assembly includes a transport platform and a height adjustment component for adjusting the vertical height of the transport platform, with a transport line for transporting the products located in the middle of the transport platform.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown in the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, further explanation will be provided below:

[0029] The online vision printing and labeling machine includes a lower worktable 1, on which a label printing station 2 is installed for printing labels to the printing port in real time; a product transport group 3 for transporting products to the labeling position to wait for labeling; and a three-axis robotic arm 4 for receiving the labels produced at the printing port and transporting them to be adhered to the corresponding products.

[0030] The technical solution is designed with a lower workbench 1 as the supporting component, on which the main label printing table 2 and a three-axis robotic arm 4 are installed to process the produced labels in real time, aiming to transport and label the produced labels in real time.

[0031] Specifically, regarding the structural design of the label printer stand 2, as shown in the figure, the printing port position of the label printer stand 2 is designed so that the printed label extends upward from inside the label printer stand 2 to the printing port end. The printing port end of the label printer stand 2 is provided with an extension plate 201, and a gap 202 is left between the printing port end of the printer stand and the extension plate 201. Below the gap 202, there is a paper roll collection slot 203. The working principle is as follows: the label printed by the existing label printer stand 2 is adhered to the paper roll. Therefore, the extended paper roll can be placed from the gap 202 to the paper roll collection slot 203 below. The gap 202 is designed so that the paper roll can only pass through. Thus, when the printer is working, the paper roll moves downward and the label is detached from the paper roll and transported to the extension plate 201. At the same time, a take-up drum can be provided in the paper roll collection slot 203 to adhere the end of the paper roll to the take-up drum. A drive motor is provided to drive the label printer stand 2 in conjunction with the printer, which can further ensure the precise separation of the paper roll and the label.

[0032] The structural design of the three-axis robotic arm includes a vertically oriented assembly base 401 mounted on a lower worktable 1. The assembly base 401 has an X-axis drive rail 402, with a motor at one end. An X-axis slider assembly 403, which moves along the X-axis, is mounted on the X-axis drive rail 402. A Y-axis drive rail 404 is externally connected to the X-axis slider assembly 403. A motor at one end of the Y-axis drive rail 404 is mounted on the Y-axis drive rail 404. A Y-axis slider assembly 405, which moves along the Y-axis, is mounted on the Y-axis drive rail 404. A Z-axis drive rail 406 is externally connected to the Y-axis drive rail 406. A motor at the upper end of the Z-axis drive rail 406 is mounted on the Z-axis drive rail 406. A Z-axis slider assembly 407, which moves along the Z-axis, is mounted on the Z-axis slider assembly 407. A vacuum nozzle 407, capable of taking in and releasing air, is mounted on the Z-axis slider assembly 407. A vacuum pump is externally connected to the vacuum nozzle 407 via a conduit. Its working principle is as follows: Motor 1 drives the X-axis slider group 403 on the X-axis transmission guide rail 402 to move horizontally along the X-axis, allowing the robotic arm to move back and forth on the worktable in the horizontal direction; Motor 2 drives the Y-axis slider group 405 to move vertically along the Y-axis, allowing the robotic arm to adjust in the vertical direction and providing a wider operating range; Motor 3 drives the Z-axis slider group 407 to move up and down along the Z-axis, further increasing the positioning flexibility of the robotic arm in three-dimensional space and enabling precise up and down adjustment. A vacuum nozzle 407 for taking in and releasing air is installed at the end of the Z-axis slider group 407. When the robotic arm needs to move objects, the vacuum nozzle 407 uses a vacuum pump (not shown in the figure) to perform the adsorption function. The vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum nozzle 407 through a conduit. When adsorbing objects, a negative pressure is formed inside the vacuum nozzle 407, making the objects firmly attached to the nozzle, facilitating the robotic arm to move or place items. After the vacuum nozzle 407 has completed the handling, it can release the adsorbed objects through the air release function.

[0033] The product transport group 3 is designed for transporting products to be labeled. Its specific structure is as follows: the product transport group 3 includes a transport platform 301, a transport line 303 for transporting products is provided in the middle of the transport platform 301, and the product transport group 3 also includes a transport motor for driving the products placed on it to transport. The main feature of this design is that a height adjustment component 302 for adjusting the height of the adjuster is provided below the transport platform 301. The purpose is to effectively utilize the space for adjustment while ensuring that the overall equipment is fixed and consistent, since there are various types of products to be labeled. Specifically, the height adjustment assembly 302 includes a base plate 304. Support guide rods 305 supporting the transport line 303 are mounted on the upper end of the base plate 304 and are located at its four corners. An adjusting guide rod 306 is located at the center of the support guide rod 305. The base plate 304 is positioned below the lower worktable 1. The lower worktable 1 has sliding holes 307 for the support guide rods 305 and 306 to pass through. A bearing seat 308 is provided at the upper end of the worktable to securely support the support guide rods 305 and 306 as they slide up and down. The base plate 304 serves as the support for the support guide rods 305 and 306. The height adjustment assembly 302 is supported by the vertical movement of the base plate 304. The movement of the guide rods 305 and 306 can synchronously drive them to move up and down. The guide rod 305 is mainly used to support and fix the transport table 301. Its upper end is provided with a fixing block 309 that is fixed to the outer shell of the transport table 301. First, there are four fixing blocks 309, and each fixing block 309 is an L-shaped profile plate, so that the fixing blocks 309 can support the bottom and outer side of the transport table 301, thereby ensuring the assembly is firm. The upper surface of the 306 is provided with a locking nut that is threaded to it. The height adjustment component 302 is fixed on the lower worktable 1 by the locking nut.

[0034] Furthermore, a first vision group 101 is provided on the machine platform between the label peeling group and the product transport group 3. The scanning direction of the first vision group 101 is upward, which is used to detect whether the three-axis robotic arm 4 has received the label. A protective enclosure 102 is provided on the upper end of the lower worktable 1. An upper worktable is provided on the upper end of the protective enclosure 102. A second vision group 103 is provided on the upper worktable. The scanning direction of the second vision group 103 is downward, which is used to detect whether the product on the product transport group 3 has been transported to the labeling position.
