Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printed label production technology, specifically a printed label sorting and stacking device. Background Technology
[0002] As an important identification component for products such as clothing, home textiles, and bags, printed labels need to be sorted and organized by type and specification during the production process before being delivered to downstream companies. Stacking is a key finishing step in the printed label production process. Neat stacking not only avoids wrinkles, damage, or confusion of the printed labels, but also facilitates subsequent counting, packaging, and transportation, improves warehousing management efficiency, ensures delivery quality, and meets the standardization requirements of large-scale production.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: the current classification and stacking of printed labels largely relies on manual operation. Workers need to identify the types of printed labels (such as solvent-based labels and woven labels) one by one at the end of the production line, and then manually sort and stack them. This is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to classification errors due to visual fatigue. It is difficult to adapt to the needs of continuous production on the production line and reduces the production efficiency of printed labels.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a label sorting and stacking device in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a label sorting and stacking device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A label sorting and stacking device includes an adsorption component and a steering component. The steering component includes a column, a steering wheel rotatably connected to the top surface of the column, a servo motor mounted on the inner bottom surface of the column, and the output end of the servo motor fixedly connected to the bottom end of the steering wheel. A vertical rod is mounted on one side of the top surface of the steering wheel, and an industrial camera is mounted on the top of the vertical rod. The adsorption component includes a first electric telescopic rod, which is mounted on the outer wall of the steering wheel. A negative pressure suction cup is mounted on the movable end of the first electric telescopic rod, and a support bar is mounted on the outer wall of the first electric telescopic rod at the end away from the movable end. A negative pressure pump is mounted on the outer wall of the support bar. The steering component is located near the end conveying section of the label production line, and the adsorption component is located at the center of the end conveying section of the label production line. Storage components are provided on both sides of the column.
[0008] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are that the industrial camera can accurately capture the printed labels at the end of the production line, quickly identify the two different types of solvent-based printed labels and woven labels, and provide a basis for classification and stacking; the adsorption component is aligned with the center of the production line to ensure that the negative pressure suction cup can accurately grasp the printed labels and avoid deviation and falling off; the servo motor drives the steering wheel to rotate the adsorption component, realizing the directional conveying of different types of printed labels to the storage items on both sides, and working with the production line to realize automated classification and stacking, greatly improving sorting efficiency and reducing manual intervention.

[0011] Furthermore, an encoder is externally mounted on the output end of the servo motor.
[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the encoder can detect the rotation angle and speed of the servo motor in real time, accurately feedback the rotation position of the steering wheel, and ensure that the adsorption component can accurately stop above the target stacking box (such as the stacking box in front of the column for solvent-printed labels and the stacking box in front of the column for woven labels), avoiding misclassification; the encoder forms a closed-loop control, corrects mechanical transmission errors, improves steering positioning accuracy, and ensures the accuracy and consistency of classification and stacking.
[0013] Furthermore, a number of heat dissipation fins are installed circumferentially on the outer side wall of the column, and one end of each heat dissipation fin extends through the column into the interior.
[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the heat dissipation fins increase the heat dissipation area of the column, quickly conduct the heat generated by the servo motor when it is working, avoid the servo motor from being affected by high temperature overheating or damaged, and adapt to industrial scenarios of long-term continuous sorting.

[0016] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the square slot provides a regular stacking space for the printed labels, ensuring that the printed labels are aligned layer by layer and avoiding messy stacking; the second electric telescopic rod drives the lifting plate to descend synchronously with the stacking height, always maintaining a reasonable height difference between the top surface of the lifting plate and the top surface of the stacking box, which not only facilitates the placement of printed labels, but also prevents the stacking from being too high and causing it to tip over; the sliding cooperation of the lifting plate ensures smooth lifting and is suitable for the stacking needs of printed labels of different thicknesses.
[0017] Furthermore, the stacking box is made of magnetic material, the magnetic sealing plate is magnetically attracted to the stacking box, the magnetic sealing plate is U-shaped, and one side of the stacking box is open.
[0018] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the magnetic attraction structure makes it easy to install and remove the magnetic sealing plate, which facilitates the quick removal of stacked labels and improves subsequent processing efficiency; the U-shaped sealing plate cooperates with the open side to form a complete square stacking space; the magnetic connection is stable and has no mechanical wear, and is not prone to failure after long-term use, while simplifying the structural design of the stacking box and reducing maintenance costs; when it is necessary to remove the stacked labels, remove the bolts, lay the stacking box flat, and while holding the stacked labels against one side with your fingers, pull the magnetic sealing plate upward.
[0019] Furthermore, the stacking box is equipped with a connecting seat on the outer side wall away from the magnetic sealing plate.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a label sorting and stacking device, including an adsorption component 1 and a steering component 2. The steering component 2 includes a column 21, a steering wheel 22 rotatably connected to the top surface of the column 21, a servo motor 23 installed on the inner bottom surface of the column 21, and the output end of the servo motor 23 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the steering wheel 22; a pole 25 is installed on one side of the top surface of the steering wheel 22, and an industrial camera 26 is installed at the top of the pole 25; the adsorption component 1 includes a first electric telescopic rod 11, which is installed on the outer wall of the steering wheel 22. A negative pressure suction cup 14 is installed at the movable end of the first electric telescopic rod 11, and a support bar 1 is installed on the outer wall of the first electric telescopic rod 11 at the end away from the movable end. 2. A negative pressure pump 13 is installed on the outer wall of the support bar 12; the steering component 2 is located near the end conveying section of the label production line, and the adsorption component 1 is located at the center of the end conveying section of the label production line; storage components 3 are provided on both sides of the column 21; during operation, the industrial camera 26 is first trained with samples, and the appearance characteristics of solvent-based labels and woven labels, such as color, texture, pattern, and size markings, are pre-recorded to establish a classification and recognition model; when the label is conveyed to the end of the production line, the industrial camera 26 automatically captures the label image, compares it with the preset model to complete the classification, and then sends a linkage command to the servo motor 23, the first electric telescopic rod 11, and the negative pressure pump 13 to realize the automatic triggering of recognition, grasping and classification, and accurately distinguish between the two types of labels.
[0030] The inlet of the negative pressure pump 13 is fixedly connected to a hose 15. The end of the hose 15 away from the negative pressure pump 13 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the negative pressure suction cup 14. The negative pressure pump 13 and the negative pressure suction cup 14 are connected through the hose 15. The hose 15 provides a flexible channel for negative pressure transmission without affecting the lifting and lowering of the first electric telescopic rod 11 and the rotation of the steering wheel 22. The negative pressure generated by the negative pressure pump 13 is transmitted to the negative pressure suction cup 14 through the hose 15, so that the suction cup firmly adsorbs the printed label, ensuring a stable gripping process, avoiding the label from falling or wrinkling, and quickly achieving adsorption and pressure relief, which is suitable for the rapid gripping and placement of printed labels.
[0031] An encoder is installed on the external output end of the servo motor 23. Before operation, the linkage logic between the industrial camera 26 and the servo motor 23 is preset. If the label is identified as a solvent-based label, the encoder controls the servo motor 23 to drive the steering wheel 22 to rotate 90° clockwise. If the label is woven, it rotates 90° counterclockwise. The rotation angle is calibrated by the encoder to ensure that the adsorption component 1 is accurately aligned with the corresponding stacking box 31, so as to achieve the orientation and classification of the two types of labels and avoid confusion.
[0032] Among them, a number of heat dissipation fins 24 are installed on the outer side wall of the column 21 in a circumferential direction, and one end of the heat dissipation fins 24 extends through the column 21 into the interior; the heat dissipation fins 24 increase the heat dissipation area of the column 21, quickly conduct heat generated by the servo motor 23 when it is working, and avoid the servo motor 23 from being affected by high temperature overheating or damaged.
[0033] The storage component 3 includes a stacking box 31. A second electric telescopic rod 35 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the stacking box 31. A lifting plate 34 is installed on the movable end of the second electric telescopic rod 35. A magnetic sealing plate 36 is fitted on the outer wall of one end of the stacking box 31. The magnetic sealing plate 36 and the inner wall of the stacking box 31 form a square groove. The outer wall of the lifting plate 34 slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the square groove, and the printed labels are adapted to the square groove. The square groove provides a regular stacking space for the printed labels, ensuring that the printed labels are aligned layer by layer and avoiding messy stacking. The second electric telescopic rod 35 drives the lifting plate 34 to descend synchronously with the stacking height, always maintaining a reasonable height difference between the top surface of the lifting plate 34 and the top surface of the stacking box 31, which not only facilitates the placement of printed labels, but also prevents the stack from tipping over due to excessive stacking. The sliding cooperation of the lifting plate 34 ensures smooth lifting and adapts to the stacking needs of printed labels of different thicknesses.
[0034] The stacking box 31 is made of magnetic material, and the magnetic sealing plate 36 is magnetically attracted to the stacking box 31. The magnetic sealing plate 36 is U-shaped, and one side of the stacking box 31 is open. When it is necessary to remove the stacked labels, the bolts are removed, the stacking box 31 is laid flat, and the fingers are pressed against one side of the stacked labels. The magnetic sealing plate 36 is then pulled upward.
[0035] The stacking box 31 has a connecting seat 32 installed on its outer side wall away from the magnetic sealing plate 36. Connecting strips 33 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting seat 32. The two connecting strips 33 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the column 21 at the end away from the stacking box 31. The two connecting strips 33 are connected to the connecting seat 32 by bolts at the end away from the column 21. The bolt connection firmly fixes the stacking box 31 to the column 21, preventing the stacking box 31 from shifting due to vibration during operation and ensuring accurate placement of the printed label. The connection structure is detachable, which makes it easy to replace the stacking box 31 of different specifications according to the size of the printed label or production needs, thus improving the adaptability of the device.
[0036] Specifically, the working principle of this type of printed label sorting and stacking device is as follows: In use, the industrial camera 26, the first electric telescopic rod 11, the negative pressure pump 13, the servo motor 23, and the second electric telescopic rod 35 are first electrically connected to an external device controller. The connection methods between each component and the controller are common knowledge to those skilled in the art. Subsequently, the industrial camera 26 is pre-tested, and the appearance characteristics of solvent-based printed labels and woven labels, such as color, texture, pattern, and size markings, are recorded into the industrial camera 26 to establish a classification and recognition model, and the linkage is preset. When the label is identified as a solvent-based label, the servo motor 23 drives the steering wheel 22 to rotate 90° clockwise, corresponding to the stacking box 31 on the front side of the column 21; when it is identified as a woven label, the servo motor 23 rotates 90° counterclockwise, corresponding to the stacking box 31 on the rear side of the column 21. After the device is started, the label is conveyed to the end of the production line. When the industrial camera 26 detects the label, it automatically captures an image and compares it with a preset model to quickly determine the type. Then, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller immediately triggers the adsorption component 1 to work, and the first electric telescopic rod... The first telescopic rod 11 extends, causing the negative pressure suction cup 14 to descend to the surface of the printed label. Simultaneously, the negative pressure pump 13 starts, transmitting negative pressure to the suction cup 14 through the hose 15, ensuring the suction cup firmly adheres to the printed label. After the adhesion stabilizes, the first electric telescopic rod 11 retracts and resets, lifting the printed label off the production line. Then, the servo motor 23 starts according to preset logic, and the encoder detects the motor's rotation angle in real time and feeds it back to the controller, forming a closed-loop control. This ensures that the steering wheel 22 drives the suction assembly 1 to rotate precisely 90° before stopping, so that the printed label faces the corresponding stacking box 31. When the first electric telescopic rod 11 extends again, it sends the printed label to the top of the lifting plate 34 in the stacking box 31. The negative pressure pump 13 releases pressure, and the printed label is placed stably on the lifting plate 34. Then the first electric telescopic rod 11 retracts, and the servo motor 23 drives the steering wheel 22 to reset, ready for the next grab. As the printed labels are stacked layer by layer, the second electric telescopic rod 35 synchronously drives the lifting plate 34 to slowly descend, always maintaining a reasonable height difference between the top surface of the lifting plate 34 and the top surface of the stacking box 31, to prevent the printed labels from tipping over when placed, and at the same time to ensure that the printed labels are stacked neatly. The heat dissipation fins 24 on the outside of the column 21 continuously conduct heat generated by the servo motor 23, ensuring stable operation of the equipment over a long period of time. When the number of printed labels in the stacking box 31 reaches the preset quantity, the device is turned off, the bolts of the connecting strip 33 and the connecting seat 32 are unscrewed, the stacking box 31 is laid flat, and the magnetic sealing plate 36 is pulled upwards while holding the side of the printed label with a finger to quickly remove the sorted and stacked printed labels. If different specifications of printed labels need to be replaced, the bolts can be removed to replace the stacking box 31 of the corresponding size, improving the device's adaptability. The entire process realizes full automation of printed labels from identification, grasping, sorting to stacking, without manual intervention, greatly improving sorting efficiency and accuracy.
