The barcode scanning device and the label printer are connected.

[0003] As can be seen from the above, the automatic labeling machine provided by this utility model can automatically affix QR codes to products, which is convenient and fast. Due to the use of a turntable mechanism with multiple product carriers on it, labeling and loading / unloading can be performed simultaneously, improving labeling production efficiency. The suction cup mechanism includes multiple vacuum nozzles, which can label multiple products at the same time, accelerating the labeling speed. However, although the robotic arm of the labeling mechanism of this automatic labeling machine can move to the corresponding position, the distance it can move and the adjustable angle are limited, which also limits the range of labels that the labeling machine can apply.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the problem that the limited range of labels that can be applied by labeling machines is due to the limited distance and adjustable angle of the robotic arm in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this application is to provide a labeling device to solve the problem that the limited range of labels that a labeling machine can apply is caused by the limited distance and adjustable angle of the robotic arm.

[0017] To achieve the above objectives, according to another aspect of this application, a labeling system is provided.

[0018] The labeling system according to this application includes any of the labeling devices described above.

[0019] In this embodiment, a method is adopted in which pulleys are respectively provided in the base and the robotic arm, and the pulleys are movable and rotatable.

Specifically, the base 1 is used to fix the labeling device. A first connecting part 2 is provided on a fixed side of the base 1 for connecting the robotic arm 3. The bottom side of the robotic arm 3 has a first connecting hole 4 that matches and connects with the first connecting part 2. After the two are connected, the robotic arm 3 can move on the first connecting part 2. According to the work needs, the robotic arm 3 can be rotated and moved to the required position. A second connecting part 5 is provided on the top side of the robotic arm 3, which is movably connected to the labeling mechanism 6.

The labeling mechanism 6 is provided with a suction nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 for transitional connection between the labeling mechanism 6 and the suction nozzle mechanism 8. When this utility model is working, under the connection of the base 1, the robotic arm 3 and the labeling mechanism 6, the robotic arm 3 can rotate and move on the base 1, and the labeling mechanism 6 can rotate and move on the robotic arm 3. In this way, the working range can be expanded and the working angle can be adjusted.

[0029] As can be seen from the above description, this application achieves the following technical effects: In this embodiment, a method is adopted in which pulleys are respectively provided in the base 1 and the robotic arm 3, which can be moved and rotated. The base 1 is connected to the first connecting part 2, and the robotic arm 3 is provided on the base 1. One end of the robotic arm 3 is provided with a first connecting hole 4 that matches the first connecting part 2. The first connecting part 2 is movably connected to the first connecting hole 4. The other end of the robotic arm 3 is provided with a second connecting part 5, and the second connecting part 5 is movably connected to a labeling mechanism 6. The labeling mechanism 6 is provided with a suction nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 and a suction nozzle mechanism 8. This achieves the purpose of making the movement of the robotic arm 3 smoother and expanding the range of motion and angle of the robotic arm 3. In this way, the labeling machine can achieve the technical effect of labeling over a larger range, thereby solving the technical problem that the movement distance and adjustable angle of the robotic arm are limited, which leads to the limited range of labels that the labeling machine can apply.

Preferably, fixing holes 9 are provided at the four bottom corners of the bottom edge of the base 1. Fasteners are used to pass through the fixing holes 9 to fix the base 1 to the base plate. The fasteners are self-tapping screws. When installing the base 1, self-tapping screws are used to pass through the fixing holes 9 at the four bottom corners of the base 1 and screw them into the base plate. In this way, the base 1 can be stably installed on the base plate. Preferably, the first connecting part 2 is circular and is provided with a first pulley 10. The first connecting hole 4 is circular and is movably connected with the first connecting part 2 as the center. The first connecting part 2 on the base 1 is circular and is provided with a first pulley 10 installed inside. The first connecting hole 4 on the robotic arm 3 is also circular. When it is necessary to connect the robotic arm 3 to the base 1, the first connecting hole 4 on the robotic arm 3 is snapped into the first connecting part 2 on the base 1. Optionally, fasteners can also be used. The firmware passes through the first connecting hole 4 and connects to the first connecting part 2. After connection, under the action of the first pulley 10, the robotic arm 3 can rotate around the first connecting part 2 as the center and the body of the robotic arm 3 as the radius. Preferably, the second connecting part 5 is circular and is provided with a second pulley 11. The labeling mechanism 6 is movably connected around the second connecting part 5 as the center. The second connecting part 5 on the robotic arm 3 can be connected to the bottom side of the labeling mechanism 6. When connected, the bottom side of the labeling mechanism 6 is snapped onto the second connecting part 5. In this way, the labeling mechanism 6 can be movably connected around the second connecting part 5 as the center and the body of the labeling mechanism 6. When it is necessary to move the position of the labeling mechanism 6, the labeling mechanism 6 can be moved within the total length range of the robotic arm 3 and the labeling mechanism 6. Optionally, if there are special requirements, the robotic arm 3 can be replaced with different lengths. In this way, it can be flexibly adjusted according to work needs, solving the problem of limited labeling range of the labeling machine.

Preferably, the connecting rod 12 passes through the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 to fix the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 onto the labeling mechanism 6. The connecting rod 12 is a specially made steel pipe with a diameter slightly smaller than the hole at the top of the labeling mechanism 6, allowing it to easily pass through the hole. Preferably, the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 includes a fixing part 13, located on the top side of the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7, and a rotating part 14, located on the bottom side of the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7. When it is necessary to connect the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 to the connecting rod 12, the connecting rod 12 is first inserted into the labeling mechanism 6. The labeling mechanism 6 is connected to the fixed part 13 at the top of the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 through the hole at the top. The connecting rod 12 and the fixed part 13 are snapped together, and the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 can be fixed at the bottom of the connecting rod 12. The rotating part 14 is located on the bottom side of the fixed part 13. When the fixed part 13 is snapped together with the connecting rod 12, the rotating part 14 can rotate. Preferably, the bottom side of the nozzle adjustment mechanism 7 is provided with a nozzle mechanism 8, and the nozzle mechanism 8 is movably connected to at least one nozzle 15. Preferably, the number of nozzles 15 is four. The number of nozzles 15 can be adjusted according to actual needs and is not limited here. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the nozzle mechanism 8, the robotic arm 3 drives the labeling mechanism 6 to move, and the nozzle mechanism 8 moves to the designated position as the labeling mechanism 6 moves.
