[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] See Figures 1-8 This automotive battery protection plate labeling equipment includes a movable gantry frame 1 and a worktable 5 for placing battery protection plates 2. A labeling robotic arm 3 is provided above the worktable 5 corresponding to the movable gantry frame 1. The labeling robotic arm 3 is used to affix labels to the battery protection plates 2 on the worktable 5.

[0031] A labeling robot arm 3 is fixedly connected to a labeling machine 4. The labeling machine 4 has a label platform 41 and a label conveying mechanism 42 for sequentially conveying labels to the label platform 41. The labeling machine 4 is a conventional labeling device. Label rolls are placed on the labeling machine 4 and conveyed one by one to the platform of the labeling machine 4 through the conveying mechanism of the labeling machine 4. The specific working principle and structure of the labeling machine 4 are conventional existing technology, which can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0032] The labeling robotic arm 3 is movably connected to a lifting robotic arm 31. The lifting robotic arm 31 can reciprocate relative to the labeling robotic arm 3 along the Z-axis, so that the lifting robotic arm 31 can move downward to complete the labeling action.

[0033] The lower end of the lifting robot 31 is movably connected to a labeling head 32 for gripping labels on the label platform 41. The labeling head 32 can rotate around the center of the lifting robot 31 so that the vertical projection of the labeling head 32 overlaps or offsets with the label platform 41. The lifting robot 31 can perform the actions of gripping and labeling by moving along the Z-axis when the labeling head 32 is in different positions.

[0034] The movable gantry frame 1 is equipped with a first robotic arm drive mechanism 11 for reciprocating motion of the lifting robotic arm 31 relative to the worktable 5 along the Y-axis.

[0035] The movable gantry 1 is connected to a gantry drive mechanism 13 for reciprocating motion relative to the worktable 5 along the X-axis.

[0036] By setting up the gantry drive mechanism 13, the first robotic arm drive mechanism 11, and the lifting robotic arm 31, the labeling head 32 can grasp the label and move in the X, Y, and Z axes to quickly affix the label to the preset position on the battery guard plate 2, thereby improving the production efficiency of the labeling process.

[0037] Furthermore, the worktable 5 is provided with first limiting arms 51 on both sides of the X-axis to limit the position of the battery guard plate 2 on both sides of the X-axis, which can keep the battery guard plate 2 in the X-axis direction and improve the accuracy of labeling.

[0038] Furthermore, a first adjustment mechanism 61 is provided between the first limiting arms 51 for adjusting the distance between the two first limiting arms 51 along the X-axis direction. This mechanism can be adjusted according to the size requirements of the battery guard plate 2, so that the first limiting arms 51 can be adapted to more battery guard plates 2 of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of the equipment.

[0039] Furthermore, the first adjustment mechanism 61 includes a first guide rail 611 and a first transmission screw 612. The first limiting arm 51 is provided with a first guide slider 511 that slides with the first guide rail 611. The first guide rail 611 is arranged along the X-axis. The first transmission screw 612 is connected to one or both of the first limiting arms 51 through a threaded structure. The first transmission screw 612 increases or decreases the distance between the two first limiting arms 51 along the X-axis by rotating in both directions. The first transmission screw 612 can be steered by a motor or manually. The structure is simple and can achieve the effect of quickly adjusting the distance between the two first limiting arms 51 along the X-axis.

[0040] Furthermore, the worktable 5 is provided with second limiting arms 52 on both sides of the Y-axis to limit the position of the battery guard plate 2 on both sides of the Y-axis, which can keep the battery guard plate 2 in the Y-axis direction and improve the accuracy of labeling.

[0041] Furthermore, a second adjustment mechanism 62 is provided between the second limiting arms 52 for adjusting the distance between the two second limiting arms 52 along the Y-axis direction. This mechanism can be adjusted according to the size requirements of the battery guard plate 2, so that the second limiting arms 52 can be adapted to more battery guard plates 2 of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of the equipment.

[0042] Furthermore, the second adjustment mechanism 62 includes a second guide rail 621 and a second transmission screw 622. The second limiting arm 52 is provided with a second guide slider 521 that slides with the second guide rail 621. The second guide rail 621 is arranged along the Y-axis direction. The second transmission screw 622 is connected to one or both of the second limiting arms 52 through a threaded structure. The second transmission screw 622 increases or decreases the distance between the two second limiting arms 52 along the Y-axis direction by rotating in both directions. The second transmission screw 622 can be steered by a motor or manually. The structure is simple and can achieve the effect of quickly adjusting the distance between the two second limiting arms 52 along the Y-axis direction.

[0043] Furthermore, the movable gantry frame 1 is equipped with a transfer robotic arm 7. The lower end of the transfer robotic arm 7 is movably connected to a suction cup 71 for gripping the battery guard plate 2. The suction cup 71 can reciprocate relative to the transfer robotic arm 7 along the Z-axis, allowing the transfer robotic arm 7 to transport the battery guard plate 2 away from the worktable 5. The suction cup 71 can grip the battery guard plate 2 using vacuum negative pressure or electromagnetic attraction; its specific structure and working principle are understandable to those skilled in the art.

[0044] Furthermore, the movable gantry 1 is equipped with two transplanting robotic arms 7, and the movable gantry 1 is equipped with a second robotic arm drive mechanism 12 for moving the two transplanting robotic arms 7 back and forth relative to the worktable 5 along the Y-axis. The two transplanting robotic arms 7 form different spacings in the Y-axis direction through the second robotic arm drive mechanism 12, which can improve the equipment's gripping ability of the battery guard plate 2 and reduce the chance of the battery guard plate 2 accidentally falling during the transfer. At the same time, according to the specific size of the battery guard plate 2, the two transplanting robotic arms 7 can also adjust the spacing between them, so that the battery guard plate 2 can be gripped in a more suitable position, meeting the needs of more different types of battery guard plates 2.

[0045] Furthermore, multiple movable gantry frames 1 are distributed along the X-axis on the outer side of the workbench 5, allowing multiple battery guard plates 2 to be placed on the workbench 5 simultaneously for synchronous labeling, thereby further improving the processing efficiency of the equipment.

[0046] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The worker places the battery cover 2 on the workbench 5. The first limiting arm 51 and the second limiting arm 52 work simultaneously to fix and position the battery cover 2. The labeling head 32 rotates to the top of the label platform 41. The lifting robot arm 31 drives the labeling head 32 downward to grab the label and then returns it to its original position. The labeling head 32 rotates away from the top of the label platform 41. The gantry drive mechanism 13 and the first robot arm drive mechanism 11 control the movable gantry 1 and the lifting robot arm 31 to move in the X and Y axes, respectively, so that the labeling head 32 moves above the preset position. Then, the lifting robot arm 31 drives the labeling head 32 to press down to complete the labeling action at the designated position. After the above actions are completed for each position on the battery cover 2 that needs to be labeled, the transfer robot arm 7 grabs the battery cover 2. The gantry drive mechanism 13 drives the transfer robot arm 7 and the battery cover 2 to leave the workbench 5 along the X-axis.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
