[0014] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a workbench 5 is also included, and a support frame is arranged on each of the top two sides of the workbench 5. The Y-axis translation mechanism 11 is arranged on the top of one of the support frames, and a first slide rail is arranged on the top of the other support frame along its length. One end of the Y-axis translation frame 12 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail, and the other end of the Y-axis translation frame 12 is connected to the Y-axis translation mechanism 11. The product transmission line 2 is arranged on the workbench 5 and is arranged laterally through the two support frames. The product transmission line 2 is connected to the upstream and downstream and is used to transmit products to be attached with auxiliary materials (such as labels). The auxiliary material feeding mechanism 3 is provided with three sets, which can use existing feeder feeders. The three feeder feeders are used to provide different types of auxiliary materials to meet the needs of products that need to be attached with different auxiliary materials. The Y-axis translation mechanism 11 and the X-axis translation mechanism can both use existing linear modules. With the cooperation of the two, the material picking and attaching mechanism 14 can be driven to perform translational movement so that the material picking and attaching mechanism 14 can pick up the auxiliary material from the feeder feeder and attach it to the product.

[0015] In this embodiment, the material picking and attaching mechanism 14 is provided in five groups, each group of material picking and attaching mechanism 14 is equipped with a different material picking suction head 145 to adapt to the needs of attaching different auxiliary materials to the product. The material picking suction tube 141 can be driven to move up and down in the Z-axis direction by the Z-axis lifting mechanism 142, which facilitates material picking and attaching. The rotation drive mechanism can drive the material picking suction tube 141 to rotate, so that the material picking suction head 145 can adjust the attaching angle according to the attaching requirements to adapt to the attaching requirements of auxiliary materials in different positions and directions.

When the rotary motor 147 starts, it drives the material suction tube 141 to rotate via the drive wheel 149, synchronous belt 144 and driven wheel 140 through the rotating sleeve 146 to adjust the attachment angle. At the same time, the Z-axis lifting mechanism 142 can drive the material suction tube 141 to slide up and down along the sliding sleeve 148 to facilitate the attachment of the product. In this embodiment, the Z-axis lifting mechanism 142 adopts a motor in conjunction with synchronous wheel and transmission belt to ensure the stability of the lifting of the material suction tube 141.

[0017] Preferably, in this embodiment, the material picking and attaching mechanism 14 further includes a connecting tube 1451 and a movable tube 1452; the connecting tube 1451 is connected to the bottom of the material picking suction tube 141, and the upper part of the movable tube 1452 is movably inserted into the connecting tube 1451; a connecting frustum 1453 is integrally connected to the bottom of the movable tube 1452, and the material picking suction head 145 is installed on the bottom of the connecting frustum 1453; a limiting step is provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the connecting tube 1451, and a first spring 1454 is sleeved on the outer wall of the movable tube 1452, and the first spring 1454 is located between the connecting frustum 1453 and the limiting step.

When installing or replacing different types of pick-up suction heads 145, simply move the connecting post 1458 of the movable tube 1452 upward along the first slot 1455 to the second slot 1456, then rotate the movable tube 1452 to move the connecting post 1458 along the second slot 1456 to the third slot 1457, and finally move the movable tube 1452 downward so that the connecting post 1458 is inserted into the third slot 1457.

When the vacuum connector 1411 is connected to an external air source, the airflow will be transmitted to the vacuum adsorption holes 1450 through the material-collecting suction tube 141, the connecting tube 1451, the movable tube 1452, and the airflow channel, thereby realizing the adsorption of auxiliary materials.

[0020] In one embodiment, the system further includes a workbench 4; a first visual positioning mechanism 41 is installed on the workbench 4 above the auxiliary material feeding mechanism 3, and a second visual positioning mechanism 42 is installed on the workbench 4 above the product conveyor line 2; a third visual positioning mechanism 43 is also arranged between the product conveyor line 2 and the auxiliary material feeding mechanism 3.
