[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0021] The device of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with preferred embodiments thereof.

[0022] See also Figure 1-10As shown, the AI ​​intelligent sorting equipment of the new energy battery cap production line includes an equipment box 1, a detection mechanism 4 and a power supply box 8. The equipment box 1 is divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber by a partition 101 arranged horizontally in the middle. The center of the partition 101 is provided with a first conveying mechanism 2, and the first conveying mechanism 2 includes an annular conveying disk 201 arranged above the partition 101. The detection mechanism 4 is arranged in the upper chamber, and the power supply box 8 is located in the lower chamber; Among them, the subsequent stations of the detection mechanism 4 are successively provided with a sorting mechanism 5 and a sorting mechanism 6, and are distributed along the circumference of the annular conveyor disk 201; the preceding station of the detection mechanism 4 is provided with a calibration mechanism 10, and the second conveying mechanism 3 for conveying battery caps is provided at the side of the annular conveyor disk 201 and at the previous station of the calibration mechanism 10; the subsequent station of the sorting mechanism 6 is provided with a third conveying mechanism 9 for conveying the battery caps to the next link.

[0023] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the first conveying mechanism 2 also includes a motor 202 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the partition 101, and the output end of the motor 202 passes through the top of the partition 101 and is fixedly connected to a turntable 203, and the upper surface of the turntable 203 is fixedly connected to the annular conveying disk 201 through a ring-shaped connecting rod 204.

[0024] Specifically, when the motor 202 receives the start signal, it will start to rotate, and the rotational power of the motor 202 is transmitted to the turntable 203 through the output end. The turntable 203 starts to rotate under the drive of the motor 202. Since the turntable 203 and the annular conveyor disk 201 are fixedly connected by the ring-shaped connecting rod 204, the rotation of the turntable 203 will drive the annular conveyor disk 201 to rotate together. By cooperating with the second conveying mechanism 3, when the battery caps conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 3 move to the annular conveyor disk 201, the rotation of the annular conveyor disk 201 enables the battery caps placed thereon to move along the annular path. After the battery caps enter the annular conveyor disk 201 from the input end, they will be conveyed to the next station as the conveyor disk rotates, and then the third conveying mechanism 9 will be cooperated to convey the qualified battery caps to the next program.

[0025] The second conveying mechanism 3 and the third conveying mechanism 9 have the same structural components and are composed of a synchronous belt, a synchronous wheel and an external driving source, and the annular conveying disc 201 is made of glass.

[0026] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, Figure 1 , 2 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the detection mechanism 4 includes a top detection component 401 , a bottom detection component 402 and a peripheral detection component 403 , and the top detection component 401 , the bottom detection component 402 and the peripheral detection component 403 are sequentially distributed along the outer circumference of the annular conveyor disk 201 .

[0027] Furthermore, the top detection assembly 401 includes a first profile column 4011, a slide 4012, a sliding member 4013, a locking member 4014, a first camera assembly 4015 and a first camera light source housing 4016. The top of the first profile column 4011 is provided with a slide 4012, and the slide 4012 is slidably connected to the side of the annular conveyor plate 201 with the sliding member 4013, and the end surface of the sliding member 4013 is fixedly connected with the first camera assembly 4015, and the sliding member 4013 fixes the first camera assembly 4015 on the slide 4013 through the locking member 4014 provided on the side. 2, another sliding member 4013 fixedly connected to the first camera light source cover 4016 is provided at the lower part of the slide 4012, and the top detection component 401 is provided with multiple groups, and the multiple groups of top detection components 401 are respectively provided with first camera components 4015 and first camera light source covers 4016 of different heights. In order to meet the detection requirements of battery caps of different heights, the top detection component 401 is provided with multiple groups, and the first camera component 4015 and the first camera light source cover 4016 of each group are of different heights. By selecting an appropriate combination of components, accurate detection of battery caps of different heights can be achieved.

[0028] Furthermore, multiple groups of bottom detection components 402 are provided, and the structures of the multiple groups of bottom detection components 402 are the same as those of the top detection components 401 , and the bottom detection components 402 are located below the annular conveyor plate 201 .

[0029] Furthermore, the peripheral detection component 403 includes an adjusting member 4031, a first connecting plate 4032, a first supporting plate 4033, a camera seat 4034, a second camera assembly 4035, a second supporting plate 4036 and a second camera light source cover 4037. The adjusting member 4031 is slidably connected to the first connecting plate 4032 on the side close to the production line. The upper and lower parts of the first connecting plate 4032 are movably connected to the first supporting plate 4033. The ends of the upper and lower first supporting plates 4033 are fixedly mounted with the second camera assembly 4035 through the camera seat 4034. The bottom of the first supporting plate 4033 is also connected to the second camera light source cover 4037 through the second supporting plate 4036. The top detection component 401 and the bottom detection component 402 are respectively located above and below the annular conveyor disk 201, and can simultaneously detect the top and bottom of the battery cap. Through the adjustment of the slide 4012, the sliding member 4013 and the locking member 4014, it can adapt to the detection requirements of battery caps at different heights.

[0030] Furthermore, the adjusting member 4031 is composed of a slide 4012 , a sliding member 4013 and a locking member 4014 .

[0031] Specifically, during operation, the height of the plurality of camera assemblies is adjusted by sliding the slide member 4013, the first camera assembly 4015 is adjusted to an appropriate position by sliding the slide member 4013 on the slide table 4012 and fixing the locking member 4014, when the battery cap is transferred to the detection area of ​​the top detection assembly 401, the first camera assembly 4015 starts to work, the first camera light source cover 4016 provides lighting to ensure the clarity and contrast of the image on the top of the battery cap, the first camera assembly 4015 captures the image on the top of the battery cap and transmits the data to the control system, and the battery cap is detected by the first camera assembly 4015. The cap is conveyed to the inspection area of ​​the bottom inspection component 402 through the continuing annular conveyor disk 201. The first camera component 4015 of the bottom inspection component 402 takes an image of the bottom of the battery cap and detects defects such as welding points, oil stains, appearance of connecting pieces and the presence or absence of inner rubber rings. After the inspection is completed, the battery cap is finally conveyed to the inspection area of ​​the peripheral inspection component 403. The second camera component 4035 arranged laterally takes a peripheral image of the battery cap, and the second camera light source cover 4037 provides a lighting environment. The control system analyzes the peripheral image to detect whether the side or edge of the battery cap has defects or damage.

[0032] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, Figure 2 , 7 As shown in 8, the sorting mechanism 5 includes a reject slide 501, a connecting block 502, a fixed block 503, a blowing piece 504 and a blowing source 505. The top of the reject slide 501 is provided with a connecting block 502, the front side of the connecting block 502 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 503, the side of the fixed block 503 is fixedly installed with the blowing piece 504, and the top of the connecting block 502 is installed with a blowing source 505 that matches the blowing piece 504.

[0033] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism 6 includes a pad 601 arranged on the side plate of the third conveying mechanism 9, and the upper end surface of the pad 601 is connected to a sorting plate 602 for guiding the movement direction of the battery cap.

[0034] Specifically, when the detection mechanism 4 determines that the battery cap is unqualified, it will send a rejection signal to the sorting mechanism 5. After receiving the rejection signal, the blowing source 505 is started to provide high-pressure gas to the blowing member 504. The blowing member 504 blows the high-pressure gas to the unqualified battery cap, and uses the impact force of the gas to blow the battery cap off the assembly line to the rejection slide 501. The blown-off battery cap slides along the rejection slide 501 and is finally collected in a designated container. After completing the rejection action, the blowing source 505 stops working, and the sorting mechanism 5 returns to its initial state, waiting for the next rejection signal to arrive. Then the qualified battery cap enters the sorting mechanism 6. When the battery cap contacts the sorting plate 602, due to the inclination angle and surface material of the sorting plate 602, the battery cap will be subjected to a component force in a predetermined direction. This component force will guide the battery cap along the sorting plate 602 into the third conveying mechanism 9. With the movement of the third conveying mechanism 9, more qualified battery caps are conveyed to the next program. These components are distributed in sequence along the outer side of the circumference of the annular conveyor disk 201, realizing all-round and multi-angle detection of the battery cap. The top and bottom detection components meet the detection requirements of battery caps of different heights through height-adjustable camera components and light source covers, ensuring the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the detection.

[0035] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, Figure 2 and 6 As shown, the calibration mechanism 10 includes a second profile column 1001, a second connecting plate 1002, a fixing plate 1003 and a calibration block 1004 arranged on the upper surface of the partition 101, the second profile column 1001 is connected to the second connecting plate 1002 on the side facing the production line, the bottom of the second connecting plate 1002 is correspondingly provided with a fixing plate 1003, and calibration blocks 1004 are oppositely provided at the bottom of the fixing plates 1003 on both sides, and the opening between the calibration blocks 1004 on both sides is adapted to the diameter of the battery cap.

[0036] Specifically, in the production line, when the battery cap is conveyed to the position of the calibration mechanism 10, its diameter matches the opening between the calibration blocks 1004. The arc-shaped design of the calibration blocks 1004 allows the position of the battery cap to be fine-tuned. The calibration blocks 1004 not only play a positioning role, but also prevent the battery cap from shifting or tilting during the conveyance process. The calibration blocks 1004 help ensure that each battery cap is accurately positioned and calibrated before entering the subsequent process.

[0037] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, Figure 1 and 9As shown, a signal trigger mechanism 7 is also provided in the upper chamber, and the signal trigger mechanism 7 includes a third profile column 701, a third support plate 702, a circular plate 703, a signal device 704 and a receiver 705 arranged on the upper surface of the partition 101. The upper part of the third profile column 701 is connected to the third support plate 702 extending toward the axis of the annular conveyor disk 201, the bottom of the third support plate 702 is connected to the circular plate 703, and a plurality of signal devices 704 are installed at the bottom of the circular plate 703. The workstations of the detection mechanism 4 and the sorting mechanism 5 are provided with receivers 705 matched with the signal devices 704, and the signal devices 704 communicate with the receivers 705 by emitting rays.

[0038] Specifically, when the battery cap gradually approaches the signal trigger mechanism 7 driven by the annular conveyor 201, the signal device 704 will emit continuous rays, which are usually in the form of light and propagate along a predetermined path. Under normal circumstances, these rays will completely irradiate the receiver 705 and maintain a stable light signal intensity. However, when the battery cap enters the light path and blocks part of the light, the light signal received by the receiver 705 will change. Specifically, due to the blocking of the battery cap, part of the light is cut off, resulting in the intensity of the light signal received by the receiver 705 being weakened or completely disappearing. This change in light signal is instantaneous and is closely related to the position and movement speed of the battery cap. The receiver 705 in the signal trigger mechanism 7 has a highly sensitive light signal detection capability. It can monitor the intensity of the received light signal in real time, and when a significant change in the light signal is detected, the corresponding signal processing circuit is immediately triggered. The circuit will analyze and process the received light signal, thereby accurately judging the existence, position, and relative distance of the battery cap from the signal trigger mechanism 7.

[0039] When in use, the battery cap is stably conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 3. When the battery cap reaches the end of the second conveying mechanism 3, it will be accurately conveyed to the input end of the annular conveying disk 201. The annular conveying disk 201 is driven by a motor 202 and rotated by a turntable 203 and a connecting rod 204. As the annular conveying disk 201 rotates, the battery cap moves along a predetermined annular path. During the movement of the battery cap, when passing through the calibration mechanism 10, the opening between the calibration blocks 1004 is adapted to the diameter of the battery cap. Through the arc design of the calibration block 1004, the position of the battery cap can be fine-tuned to ensure that it enters the subsequent Before the process, they are precisely positioned and calibrated. When the battery cap gradually approaches the signal trigger mechanism 7, the signal device 704 will emit continuous rays, which will completely irradiate the receiver 705 under normal circumstances. When the battery cap blocks part of the light, the light signal received by the receiver 705 will change, thereby triggering the corresponding signal processing circuit to accurately determine the existence, position and relative distance of the battery cap to the signal trigger mechanism 7, thereby ensuring the position of the battery cap. When the battery cap is transmitted to the detection area of ​​the top detection component 401, the first camera component 4015 starts working to capture the image of the top of the battery cap. At the same time, the first camera light source cover 4016 provides lighting to ensure the clarity and contrast of the image. As the annular conveyor plate 201 continues to rotate, the battery cap reaches the detection area of ​​the bottom detection component 402. The first camera component 4015 at the bottom also captures the image of the bottom of the battery cap and detects defects such as welding points, oil stains, the appearance of the connecting piece and the presence or absence of the inner rubber ring. Finally, the battery cap is conveyed to the detection area of ​​the peripheral detection component 403, and the second camera component 4035 arranged laterally captures the peripheral image of the battery cap. The second camera light source cover 4037 provides a lighting environment. The control system analyzes the peripheral image to detect whether the side or edge of the battery cap has defects or damage. If the detection mechanism 4 determines that the battery cap has If the cap is unqualified, a rejection signal will be sent to the sorting mechanism 5, and the blowing source 505 will be started to provide high-pressure gas to the blowing part 504 to blow the unqualified battery caps from the assembly line to the rejection slide 501, and the qualified battery caps will continue to move and enter the sorting mechanism 6. When the battery cap contacts the sorting plate 602, due to the inclination angle and surface material of the sorting plate 602, the battery cap will be subjected to a component force in a predetermined direction, guiding it along the sorting plate 602 into the third conveying mechanism 9. With the movement of the third conveying mechanism 9, the qualified battery caps are stably conveyed to the next program for subsequent processing or packaging. This intelligent sorting method not only improves the sorting speed, but also reduces manual intervention and reduces labor intensity.
