Patent Application
20150128795
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310559134.2 filed on Nov. 12, 2013, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The disclosure generally relates to rotating mechanisms, and particularly relates to a rotating mechanism for adjusting positions of tags on a product.
Products need to be pasted with tags after manufactured for being identified. A tags pasting device is configured to paste the tags on the products. Generally, the tags cannot be pasted on an exact position because of some errors and operators need to manually adjust the tags to an exact position at the moment.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
As illustrated, the holder assembly 10 includes a base board 11, two guiding blocks 12, and a mounting block 13. The base board 11 is substantially rectangular and is mounted to the tags pasting device. The two guiding blocks 12 can be positioned at two opposite ends of the base board 11 via crews (not shown). Each guiding block 12 defines a guiding hole 121. In this embodiment, the guiding hole 121 is defined at a longitudinal direction of the guiding block 12. The guiding hole 121 is configured to guide the rotating assembly 20 to be mounted to the holder assembly 10.
The mounting block 13 is mounted to a middle of the base board 11 and is located between the two guiding blocks 11. The mounting block 13 defines a mounting slot 131. In this embodiment, the mounting slot 131 is substantially U-shaped and is defined at a middle of the mounting block 13. The mounting slot 131 divides the mounting block 13 into two mounting portions 132. Each mounting portion 132 defines a gas slot 133 and a mounting hole 135. In this embodiment, the gas slot 133 is substantially L-shaped.
The rotating assembly 20 includes a shaft 21 and a rotating block 23. Two ends of the shaft 21 are respectively inserted through a guiding hole 121 of the guiding block 12. The rotating block 23 includes a coupling portion 231 and a rotating portion 233. The coupling portion 231 is sleeved on the shaft 21. The rotating portion 23 protrudes from a periphery wall of the coupling portion 231. In this embodiment, the rotating portion 23 is substantially fan-shaped and can rotate under a control of a gas.
The two coupling boards 33 are positioned at two sides of the main body 31. Each coupling board 33 defines an opening 331. In this embodiment, the opening 331 is substantially U-shaped. The two gas valves 35 are mounted on another side of the main body 31 and spaced from each other. The two gas valves 35 are communicated with the two gas hole 315 via internal channels (not shown). The two gas valves 35 can be respectively coupled to a gas pipe for driving the rotating assembly 20 to rotate. In detail, when one of the two gas valves 35 is opened, the gas can be transmitted to a corresponding gas slot 133 via the opened gas valve 35 and the gas hole 315, then travels to the other gas slot 133, and emerges there to force the rotating portion 233 rotate along a surface of the rotating slot 311 toward the other gas slot 133 that receives the gas.
The absorber 40 is mounted to an end of the shaft 21. The absorber 40 may couple to an external gas pipe (not shown). The external gas pipe provides suction power to the absorber 40 to absorb tags.
After the rotating mechanism 100 is assembled, the mounting block 13, the main body 31, and the two coupling boards 33 cooperatively form a closed rotating space (not labeled). The rotating block 23 is received in the rotating space. The gas from one of the two gas valves 35 can enter into the rotating space via the gas slots 133 and drives the rotating block 23 to rotate.
In other embodiments, the absorber 40 can be omitted and the shaft 21 can communicate with a gas pipe to absorb tags.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including, the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
