Label positioning device
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of steel processing, in particular to a label positioning device.
Background
The label is used for marking the basic information of the steel, including the type, specification, production date and the like of the steel. In batch production, the steel material of each basic unit can be labeled according to the basic unit of the steel material batch. For example, to facilitate shipping from the factory, the bars are usually provided in bundles as a basic unit. The type, size and date of production of each bundle of rods are identical, so that after the rods are bundled, it is necessary to add labels to each bundle of rods in units of bundles.
Because the steel material is limited in material characteristics and shape characteristics, the tag cannot be attached to the steel material by means of pins or sticking, and therefore, the tag is usually welded to the surface of the steel material by means of welding. The existing label welding method generally adopts a manual mode, namely, a welding worker manually sets the label at a preset position and controls a welding gun to carry out a welding process. Because steel welding is carried out by basic units, manual welding efficiency is low, and the method cannot be applied to a production process with high yield. Automatic welding can be realized in a machine control mode.
The automatic welding mode is that a six-axis mechanical arm drives a welding gun to weld the label, and specifically, the mechanical arm firstly sucks a welding nail from a welding nail supply device, then moves the welding nail to a label positioning device, combines the welding nail and the label, and finally moves the combined welding nail and the label to a position to be welded so as to implement the label welding process. Therefore, the sign and the welding nail can be combined smoothly, and the key element of successful sign welding is that the success rate of the welding process can be influenced by the sign positioning device. Therefore, the existing label positioning device can slide the printed label directly to a predetermined supply position by a structure such as an inclined slide. However, due to the fluctuation of the printing equipment and the different shapes of different labels, the positioning of the labels of the existing label positioning device is inaccurate, deviation is easy to occur, the combination between the labels and the welding nails is influenced, and the welding efficiency is reduced.

Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a positioning device for a signboard according to the present application is shown. As can be seen from fig. 1, the present application provides a signage positioning apparatus comprising a support 1, a guide plate 2, and an adjustment mechanism 3, wherein the support 1 is used for supporting and fixing the whole apparatus, so that the guide plate 2 assumes an inclined configuration; the guide plate 2 is arranged on the support 1 in an inclined manner, so that printed labels can slide on the guide plate 2 under the action of self gravity in practical application, and the guide plate 2 is arranged below the label printer. The adjusting mechanism 3 is used to adjust the position of the sign by changing the position of the position restricting plate on the bottom end face and the side face of the guide plate 2.
Specifically, the adjusting mechanism 3 includes a height adjusting plate 31 provided at the bottom end portion of the guide plate 2, and two level adjusting plates 32 provided at both side portions of the guide plate 2. Wherein the height adjusting plate 31 is used for adjusting the height position of the sign in the sliding direction along the sign on the guide plate 2; the level adjustment plate 32 is used to adjust the level of the sign in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sign. Therefore, the height adjustment plate 31 is perpendicular to the side of the guide plate 2; the level adjustment plate 32 is parallel to the side of the guide plate 2.
The height-adjusting plate 31 and the level-adjusting plate 32 are slidably coupled to the guide plate 2 in order to adjust the position of the sign. In the technical solution provided by the present application, the slidable connection means that the height adjustment plate 31 or the level adjustment plate 32 can be connected to the guide plate 2 and can slide along a set direction. The specific connection mode can be as follows: a slideway, a guide rod, a strip-shaped thread and the like. That is, in practical use, the height adjusting plate 31 may have a degree of freedom in the dropping direction of the sign; the level adjustment plate 32 has a degree of freedom perpendicular to the dropping direction of the label, thereby adjusting the position of the label.
In practical application, because the position deviation of the sign in the height direction is smaller relative to the position deviation in the horizontal direction due to the gravity of the sign, the height adjusting plate 31 does not need to adjust the position of the sign in the running process in practical application, and the installation position of the height adjusting plate 31 is adjusted only after the specification of the sign is changed. The horizontal position of the sign is easy to deviate due to the interference of various factors on the application field, so that the horizontal position of the sign needs to be corrected in operation.
Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, a clamping mechanism 4 is disposed on the bottom surface of the guide plate 2, and the movable ends of the two sides of the clamping mechanism 4 are respectively connected to the level-adjusting plates 32, so that the two level-adjusting plates 32 can be slidably connected to the guide plate 2 through the clamping mechanism 4. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the clamping mechanism 4 includes an air cylinder 41 fixed on the bottom surface of the guide plate 2, and a transmission member 42 connected to the movable end of the air cylinder 41; the two sides of the transmission member 42 are respectively connected with the level adjusting plate 32.
In practical application, as shown in fig. 5, after the label is dropped, the air cylinder 41 is operated to drive the transmission member 42 and the level adjustment plates 32 at both ends, so as to achieve inward tightening and clamping of the dropped label, thereby limiting the position of the label. It should be noted that the transmission member 42 is used to transmit the tightening action of the air cylinder 41 to the two level adjustment plates 32 synchronously, so that the transmission member 42 can be any structure capable of achieving the above-mentioned function, for example, a piston rod of the air cylinder 41 is connected with one level adjustment plate 32, a rack structure is arranged on the side surface of the piston rod, the transmission member 42 is a gear engaged with the rack, and the other level adjustment plate 32 is also connected with the transmission member 42 through the rack structure. In practical application, the cylinder 41 is started to generate inward movement, the driving gear rotates, and the other rack is driven to move inwards while the gear rotates, so that the tightening action is realized.
Since the position adjustment amount of the height adjustment plate 31 is small, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the height adjustment plate 31 is an L-shaped rectangular plate structure, and includes a limiting portion 311 and a connecting portion 312 vertically connected to the limiting portion 311; the limiting part 311 is perpendicular to the side surface of the guide plate 2; the connecting portion 312 is provided with a strip hole, and the height adjusting plate 31 is slidably connected to the guide plate 2 through the strip hole of the connecting portion 312. The stopper 311 may contact the bottom edge of the sign to provide support to the sign. The connecting portion 312 and the guide plate 2 may be connected by a bolt. When it is desired to change the position of the height adjusting plate 31, the position adjustment can be achieved by changing the position of the bolt in the bar hole. Obviously, in order to ensure the stability of the coupling portion 312 on the guide plate 2, a plurality of holes may be provided in the coupling portion 312, and the plurality of holes may be parallel to each other, all along the direction in which the label is dropped.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, the height adjustment plate 31 further includes a pressing post 313; the compression leg 313 is a cylindrical structure perpendicular to the limiting part 311; the compression leg 313 extends in a direction parallel to the direction in which the label on the guide plate 2 slides. Since the guide plate 2 is disposed obliquely and the sign also has a sheet-like structure, the sign may be turned over from the guide plate 2 and fall to the position-limiting portion 311 or fall off when subjected to external forces such as vibration and gravity impact during operation. Accordingly, the present application can prevent the label from being turned over by an external force during operation by providing the pressing post 313, thereby allowing the label to be more accurately dropped to a predetermined label supplying position.
In the technical solution provided by the present application, the guide plate 2 may include two parts, namely a chute portion 21 and a supply portion 22 connected to the chute portion 21; the slide way part 21 is a part through which the label falls and slides by the gravity of the label; the supply part 22 is a position where the label stays after it slides to rest, and thus the chute part 21 is disposed above the supply part 22. In practical applications, in order to avoid the label from fluctuating during the sliding process, the surfaces of the chute portion 21 and the supply portion 22 should be maintained in a flush state with each other.
Further, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the label positioning device further includes a label detecting sensor 6, and the supply part 22 is further provided with a counter bore; the label detecting sensor 6 is disposed in a counter-bore on the supply part 22 to detect whether a label is present at the bottom end position of the guide plate 2. The label detecting sensor 6 may be a proximity switch based on an optical principle, or a capacitance sensor or the like for detecting whether a label is currently placed on the supply part 22. When the sign is dropped, the sign detection sensor 6 may detect a corresponding approach signal and transmit the detected signal to the controller. The controller can determine that the label is currently on the supply portion 22 according to the received signal, and accordingly control the air cylinder 41 to perform a tightening action to clamp the label for positioning. In order not to affect the slip-off process of the label, the label detecting sensor 6 may be provided in a counter bore of the supply part 22 and not form a protruding structure on the surface of the supply part 22.
Furthermore, a protective cover 23 is also arranged on the slideway part 21; the protective cover 23 is a U-shaped plate structure connected to the side surface of the chute portion 21. The protective cover 23 can form a square sliding channel on the sliding track portion 21, so that the printed label can enter the sliding channel to avoid falling.
In some embodiments of the present application, the level adjustment plate 32 is provided with a guide slope; the guide slopes of the two level adjustment plates 32 form a gradually narrowing structure along the sliding direction of the labels on the guide plate 2. The structure that narrows gradually can play certain guide effect to in-process at the sign whereabouts, can receive the restriction effect of direction inclined plane, fall to the position that is nearer from the predetermined position, with the adjustment allowance that reduces the later stage.
In some embodiments of the present application, the guide plate 2 is further provided with a positioning hole 5; the positioning holes 5 are used for aligning with the mounting holes on the label. In practical application, in order to facilitate subsequent label welding, mounting holes can be formed in the label, and the mounting holes can be matched with welding nails, so that welding is implemented at the positions of the mounting holes. Therefore, in the present application, the position of the sign can be located through the mounting hole. In practice, when the positioning hole 5 of the guide plate 2 is aligned with the mounting hole of the label, it means that the label is at a predetermined position.
According to the above technical solution, the present application provides a sign positioning device, which includes a bracket 1, a guide plate 2, and an adjusting mechanism 3. Wherein, the adjusting mechanism 3 comprises a height adjusting plate 31 arranged at the bottom end part of the guide plate 2 and two horizontal adjusting plates 32 arranged at the two side parts of the guide plate 2; the height adjustment plate 31 and the level adjustment plate 32 are slidably connected to the guide plate 2; the height adjusting plate 31 is perpendicular to the side of the guide plate 2; the level adjustment plate 32 is parallel to the side of the guide plate 2. In practice, the label on the guide plate 2 is adjusted by the height-adjusting plate 31 and the level-adjusting plate 32 so that the label is maintained at a predetermined position. The sign positioner that this application provided can connect deflector 2 through height-adjusting plate 31 and level adjustment board 32 slidable to adapt to different sign shapes, improve sign positioner's positioning accuracy.
