The invention provides a labeling device which is used for labeling a piece to be labeled, such as a packaging box. This embodiment will be described by taking labeling of the packing box as an example. As shown in fig. 1-3, the labeling device includes a label supplying mechanism 1 and a labeling mechanism, wherein the label supplying mechanism 1 is configured to supply a label; the labeling mechanism comprises a linear driving assembly 21 and a labeling assembly 22 connected to the output end of the linear driving assembly 21, the linear driving assembly 21 is configured to be located between two adjacent line bodies 100, the driving direction of the linear driving assembly 21 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the line bodies 100, the label supplying mechanism 1 is located at one end of the linear driving assembly 21, and the labeling assembly 22 can move along the linear driving assembly 21 so as to take away a label supplied by the label supplying mechanism 1 and paste the label on a packaging box on the line body 100.

According to the labeling device, the linear driving assembly 21 can be arranged between two adjacent line bodies 100, and the labeling assembly 22 moves under the driving of the linear driving assembly 21, so that the line bodies 100 and the label supplying mechanism 1 move back and forth, and when the labeling assembly 22 moves to the label supplying mechanism 1, the labels supplied by the label supplying mechanism 1 are taken away; when the labeling assembly 22 moves between adjacent lines 100 (see fig. 1), the label can be attached to the packing box on the line 100; when the labeling assembly 22 moves to the label supplying mechanism 1 again for labeling (see fig. 2), the adjacent line bodies 100 can be transported and transferred to each other, so that the next packaging box to be labeled is transported to the labeling station, and the assembly 22 to be labeled labels next time. Because the original production line is composed of a plurality of adjacent line bodies 100, the labeling device can be randomly inserted between any two adjacent line bodies 100, the structural change of the original production line is small, and the installation adaptability is good.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the labeling assembly 22 includes a sliding seat 221, a first driving element 222, a second driving element 223 and a labeling head 224, wherein the sliding seat 221 is connected to the output end of the linear driving assembly 21; the first driving member 222 is connected to the sliding seat 221; the second driver 223 is connected to the output end of the first driver 222; the labeling head 224 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 223; first driving member 222 is configured to drive second driving member 223 and labeling head 224 to move toward the packaging box, and second driving member 223 is configured to drive labeling head 224 to rotate.

The labeling assembly 22 further includes a third driving member 225 and a lifting plate 226, the third driving member 225 is disposed on the sliding seat 221, the lifting plate 226 is connected to an output end of the third driving member 225, the third driving member 225 is configured to drive the lifting plate 226 to move up and down, and the first driving member 222 is disposed on the lifting plate 226.

In this embodiment, the linear driving assembly 21 may be a linear module; the first driving member 222 may be an electric cylinder, an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, or other elements capable of achieving a pushing action; the second driving member 223 may be a rotary cylinder, a rotary motor; the third driver 225 may be an electric cylinder, an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, or the like.

In order to facilitate label taking of the label sticking head 224 and avoid label falling, the inside hollow part and the side surface of the label sticking head 224 are provided with first vacuumizing holes 2241, the first vacuumizing holes 2241 are connected with vacuumizing equipment, and the label taking surface of the label sticking head 224 is provided with a plurality of first adsorbing holes 2242 communicated with the inside part of the label sticking head 224. When the label is taken, the vacuumizing equipment vacuumizes the inside of the labeling head 224, so that the first adsorption holes 2242 can adsorb the label; when labeling, glue back on the packing carton when the label, evacuation equipment cancels the evacuation effect, and first absorption hole 2242 does not produce the adsorption affinity to the label, is convenient for label head 224 and label separation.

The labeling mechanism takes and labels as follows:

when the label is picked up, the labeling component 22 is driven by the linear driving component 21 to move to the label supplying mechanism 1, and the label at the label supplying mechanism 1 is horizontally placed, so that the second driving component 223 drives the labeling head 224 to rotate, the label picking surface of the labeling head 224 is arranged downwards, the third driving component 225 drives the sliding seat 221 to move downwards, the labeling head 224 is driven to move downwards, the label picking surface is contacted with the label, and the label is adsorbed; the third driving member 225 moves upward to drive the sliding seat 221 to move upward, so as to drive the labeling head 224 to move upward, thereby picking up the label.

When labeling is performed, the labeling assembly 22 moves to a position corresponding to the packaging box on the line 100 under the driving of the linear driving assembly 21, and the second driving member 223 drives the labeling head 224 to rotate, so that the label taking surface of the labeling head 224 is adapted to the surface to be labeled of the packaging box. For example, in the present embodiment, a label needs to be labeled on the side surface of the packaging box, therefore, the second driving member 223 drives the labeling head 224 to rotate to an angle that the labeling surface is parallel to the vertical surface, which is convenient for labeling; the third driving member 225 adjusts the labeling head 224 to a proper height to adapt to the labeling height of the packing box; the second driving member 223 drives the labeling head 224 to move toward the packing box, thereby labeling the packing box.

After one-time labeling is completed, the labeling assembly 22 returns to the label taking position under the driving of the linear driving assembly 21 to continue labeling for the next time of labeling. Meanwhile, the labeled packing box is conveyed away under the conveying of the wire body 100, and the labeling assembly 22 leaves the labeling position, so that the packing box is not blocked, and the next packing box to be labeled can cross the upper part of the linear driving assembly 21 to be conveyed under the driving of the wire body 100 to reach the labeling position to wait for the labeling assembly 22 to label the packing box.
