EMBODIMENTS
[0044] Hereinafter, the present application is further described in detail in conjunction with
[0045] In the first aspect, embodiments of the present invention disclose an automatic production equipment for label-free packaging bottles.
[0046] With reference to
[0047] With reference to
[0048] When labeling the bottle bodies, the bottle body conveying device 2 is sequentially utilized to convey the bottle body to the driving annular plate 32. At the same time, the driving mechanism 11 drives the driving annular plate 32 to rotate, so as to drive the storage plates 321 to revolve around the rotating shaft 31, as such each of the storage plates 321 sequentially receives the conveyed bottle bodies. When the bottle bodies arrive at the corresponding storage plates, the corresponding pressing assemblies presses down to load the bottle bodies on the storage plates. During the rotation of the driving annular plate therewith, the bottle bodies sequentially rotate to the front of the plurality of laser heads 12, and the product information content to be labeled on the bottle bodies is pre-divided into multiple printing modules, and the divided printing modules are allocated to the corresponding laser heads 12 according to the printing order. When the bottle bodies move to each of the laser heads 12, each of the laser heads 12 completes its own printing task, and when the arc printing positions on the bottle bodies require to be changed, the storage plates 321 can be driven by the at least one self-rotating motor 322 to rotate to complete the deflection of the arc printing positions on the side walls of the bottle bodies. When all the bottle bodies are labeled, the bottle bodies are sequentially conveyed out of the driving annular plate 32 by the bottle body conveying device 2 to complete the discharge.
[0049] In addition, since each of the storage plates 321 is independent of each other, rotating or not is controlled by the at least one self-rotating motor 322 connected to each of them, when conducting labeling operations, the adjacent laser heads 12 can label the contents of adjacent areas, and can also achieve cross-area labeling. The horizontal span is determined by a rotation angle of the corresponding at least one self-rotating motor 322.
[0050] With reference to
[0051] With reference to
[0052] With reference to
[0053] Since the conveying line 21 has a conveying function, the packaging bottle bodies first enter the feed track 25 through the conveying line 21, and at the same time, the driving mechanism 11 drives the feed driver plate 22 to rotate, so that the packaging bottle bodies on an output terminal of the feed track 25 can be sequentially transferred to the storage plates 321 of the driving annular plate 32 through the feed driver plate 22 and the inlet guide notch 241 on the guide plate 24; after completing labeling all content, the packaging bottle bodies move towards the discharge driver plate 23, and the driving mechanism 11 drives the discharge driver plate 23 to rotate at the same time. Through the feed driver plate 22 and the outlet guide notch 24 on the guide plate 24, the packaging bottle bodies on the driving annular plate 22 can be sequentially transferred to the discharge track 26 to achieve sequential discharge. The feeding and discharging of the packaging bottle bodies share one conveying line 21, which reduces energy consumption while reducing maintenance costs at the same time. The feed driver plate 22, the discharge driver plate 23 and the guide plate 33 together play the role of a bridge between the conveying line 21 and the driving annular plate 32, which is conducive to the automatic feeding and discharging of the packaging bottle bodies on the annular running track of the driving annular plate 32.
[0054] With reference to
[0055] When the driving motor 111 rotates, it drives the driving gear 112 to rotate, the driving gear 112 rotates to drive the transmission gear ring 311 to rotate, and the transmission gear ring 311 rotates to drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the driving annular plate 32 to rotate; at the same time, the driving gear 112 rotates to drive the transmission gear ring 311 to rotate, and the transmission gear ring 311 rotates to drive the first transmission gear 221 and the second transmission gear 231 to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the feed driver plate 22 and the discharge driver plate 23 to rotate. By utilizing a driving motor 111 as the driving source for driving the rotating shaft 31, the feed driver plate 22 and the discharge driver plate 23 to rotate, the number of motors utilized can be reduced, which is conducive to reducing energy consumption and performing synchronous control of the feeding and discharging of the packaging bottle bodies on the driving annular plate 32.
[0056] During the labeling process, the driving motor 111 works continuously, the feed driver plate 22, the driving annular plate and the discharge driver plate 23 are always in operation, and the storage plates 321 on the driving annular plate 32 revolve around the rotating shaft 31 without stopping during the labeling process. The laser heads 12 can deflect the emitted laser beam at a certain angle through built-in laser deflectors thereof, and can correct the movement of the laser labeling position by adjusting the beam position, so that while the driving annular plate 32 rotates continuously, the corresponding laser heads 12 can synchronously label the packaging bottle bodies, and the adjacent laser heads 12 can achieve seamless connection of the labeling operation, which ensures the continuity of labeling the packaging bottle bodies by each of the laser heads 12, and is conducive to improving the labeling efficiency on the bottle bodies and meeting the production requirements of high production capacity.

[0059] With reference to
[0060] When the bottle bodies pass through the curved buffer channel 252, the centrifugal force on the bottle bodies changes during the movement, which causes the combined force of the own gravity and the centrifugal force of the bottle bodies to change during the movement, which further causes the bottle bodies to shake greatly in the curved buffer channel 252. Especially when the bottle bodies pass through an inflection point of the curved buffer channel 252, the change in the centrifugal force of the bottle bodies is the largest, that the bottle bodies are prone to tipping over under the sudden change of centrifugal force. When the bottle bodies are fed from the conveying line 21, the adjacent bottle bodies are closely adjacent, and the adjacent bottle bodies can support each other during the movement, which can reduce the amplitude of the bottle shaking. In the initial stage of feeding, the lifting rod 281 is in a low position, the conveying line 21 is started, and the initial speed of the conveying line 21 is low, that the bottle bodies are not easy to tip over when passing through the curved buffer channel 252. After a short period of feeding, the speed of the conveying line 21 gradually reaches a rated speed, and the material detection sensor 2111 detects whether there are bottle bodies passing below, and when the material detection sensor 2111 detects that the bottle bodies pass below, the control cylinder 28 controls the lifting rod 281 to always remain in a low position, and when the material detection sensor 2111 detects that no bottle body passes below, it sends an electrical signal. After receiving the electrical signal, the control cylinder 28 controls the lifting rod 281 to rise to a high position, and at this time, the lifting rod 281 interferes with the circular motion of the limit synapses 272, which limits the rotation of the material distribution driver plate 27, and further prevents the bottle bodies from passing through the discharge ends of the feed frames 251. In this way, the number of the detected bottle bodies between the material distribution driver plate 27 and the material detection sensor 2111 can be maintained at a certain value, which is a safe material level value for passing through the curved buffer channel 252. When the number of bottle bodies behind the target bottle body is less than the safe material level value, the material distribution driver plate 27 blocks the target bottle body from passing through, which can reduce the possibility of the bottle bodies behind the target bottle body tipping over when passing through the curved buffer channel 252. The blocked target bottle body and the bottle bodies behind are hold for the next batch of production and are labeled together with the next batch of bottle bodies, which ensures the stability of the bottle bodies when passing through the curved buffer channel 252 and ensures smooth feeding of the bottle bodies.

[0063] In the second aspect, the embodiments of the present invention further disclose a labeling method of the automatic production equipment for label-free packaging bottles, which adopts the technical solutions:
[0064] With reference to
[0069] It is worth noting that in step S3, after all the laser heads 12 complete the labeling operation, the final labeling information on the bottle bodies shall be detected to ensure the labeling quality of the bottle bodies;
[0070] Secondly, when the bottle body is in a non-cylindrical structure or the bottle body surface has a texture, the bottle body should be positioned and adjusted before marking, which is conducive for the first laser head 12 to determine the positions of the bottle bodies for labeling, so that the marking position avoids the edges or patterns of the bottle bodies, which further ensures the labeling accuracy of the bottle bodies.
[0071] In Step S3, a labeling method of horizontal division labeling or vertical division labeling is selected according to the range size of the labeling content to be divided. After completing the module division of the labeling content, the divided content is sequentially input into the corresponding laser heads 12, and each of the laser heads 12 sequentially completes the labeling operation according to the input information. Wherein, the labeling content to be labeled includes but is not limited to a combination of one or more of numbers, characters, LOGO, name, QR code, barcode, DM code, information logo and the like. The divided labels can be spliced into a complete product information logo on the packaging bottle body after being labeled by the plurality of laser heads 12. In the present embodiment, the labeling content adopts a horizontal division labeling cooperation mode and a vertical division labeling cooperation mode.
[0072] In the aforementioned bottle making method, the plurality of laser heads 12 are adopted to sequentially and continuously laser mark the bottle bodies by dividing the printing range, which can realize large-format and high-capacity labeling of label-free packaging bottles, which is conducive to the mass production of label-free packaging bottles. At the same time, the number of the laser heads can be adaptively increased or decreased according to the practical labeling content.
[0073] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
