[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, components with the same structure are represented by the same numerical labels, and components with similar structures or functions are represented by similar numerical labels. The size and thickness of each component shown in the accompanying drawings are arbitrarily shown, and the present invention does not limit the size and thickness of each component. In order to make the illustration clearer, the thickness of the components is appropriately exaggerated in some places in the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 A bearing end face identification and flipping device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the bearing has a front side and a back side, and the device comprises a loading module 1, a detection module 2, a pushing module 3 and a flipping module 4, wherein the loading module 1 comprises an L-shaped feeding channel 10, and the bearing to be detected is transmitted to the detection module 2;

[0025] The detection module 2 is arranged in front of the pushing module 3 to identify the front and back sides of the upward end surface of the bearing to be detected;

[0026] The pushing module 3 is located between the detection module 2 and the flipping module 4 and is located on one side of the L-shaped feeding channel 10, and pushes the bearing that has passed the detection to the flipping module 4;

[0027] The flip module 4 is located at the end of the L-shaped feeding channel 10 , and performs a flipping action on the bearing that has passed the detection according to the recognition result of the detection module 2 .

[0028] The loading module 1 transfers the bearing to be detected to the detection module 2 through the L-shaped feeding channel 10. The detection module 2 identifies the front and back sides of the end face of the bearing to be detected, and identifies the front and back sides of the upward end face of the bearing to be detected, that is, detects whether the upward end face is the front side or the back side, and pushes the bearing that has passed the detection to the flip module 4 through the pushing module 3. The flip module 4 flips the bearing that has passed the detection according to the recognition result of the detection module 2. For example, if the end face of the bearing to be detected is the front side, the flip module 4 does not flip the bearing. If the end face of the bearing to be detected is the back side, the flip module 4 flips the bearing so that the upward end face of the bearing is the front side, thereby realizing the technical solution that the end faces of the bearings have the same orientation. The device has a small detection cycle, a fast detection and flipping speed, and improves the speed of bearing sorting.

[0029] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the overall structure of the bearing end face identification and flipping device of a specific embodiment of the present invention. The feeding module 1 also includes a first base 11, an electric turntable 12 located on the first base 11, and a feeding channel 13. The electric turntable 12 has an opening on one side, and one end of the feeding channel 13 passes through the opening and is arranged in the electric turntable 12, and the bottom of the feeding channel 13 located in the electric turntable 12 is slotted, and the other end of the feeding channel 13 is connected to the L-shaped feeding channel 10. The bearing to be tested is placed in the electric turntable 12, and the rotation of the electric turntable 12 drives the detection bearing to rotate, and is transmitted to the feeding channel 13 through the slot of the feeding channel 13, and then the detection bearing is transmitted to the L-shaped feeding channel 10. According to this technical solution, the electric turntable mechanism is used for feeding, the feeding speed is fast, and the feeding structure is compact, which can be well connected with the subsequent processes.

[0030] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the feeding module 1 further includes a first cylinder 14 located at one side of the L-shaped feeding channel, a first pushing portion 15 located at the front end of the first cylinder 14, and a first sensor (not shown in the figure) located on the first pushing portion. When the first sensor detects that the bearing to be detected on the L-shaped feeding channel 10 is located in front of the first pushing portion 15, the first pushing portion 15 is driven by the first cylinder 14 and pushes the bearing to be detected to the detection module 2. The bearing to be detected is transmitted along the L-shaped feeding channel, and the first sensor detects that the bearing to be detected is located in front of the first pushing portion. The first cylinder pushes the first pushing portion to move horizontally forward and pushes the bearing to be detected to the detection module. The end face of the bearing to be detected is identified by the detection module.

[0031] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the detection module 2 includes a first positioning mechanism 20 and a second sensor 21, the first positioning mechanism 20 is arranged on one side of the L-shaped feed channel 10, the second sensor 21 is arranged above the L-shaped feed channel 10, the first positioning mechanism 20 positions the bearing to be detected below the second sensor 21, and the second sensor 21 identifies the front and back sides of the upward end face of the bearing to be detected. The second sensor 21 identifies the upward end face of the bearing to be detected and detects whether the end face is the front side or the back side. When the sealing rings at both ends of the bearing are made of different materials, the colors of the two ends are inconsistent. The front and back sides in the present invention are relative to the identification. For example, one side of the Z809 series bearing is metal and the other side is plastic. The metal side can be defined as the front side and the plastic side as the back side. Users can define it according to their own needs. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the second sensor is a color code sensor. Using a color code sensor for color recognition can well identify the front and back sides of the bearing. The color code sensor has a fast color recognition speed and can work in a harsh environment, further improving the speed of bearing sorting.

[0032] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3The first positioning mechanism 20 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first positioning mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention. The first positioning mechanism 20 includes a second base 200, a baffle 201 located on the second base 200, a sliding guide rail 202 located on the second base 200, a linear bearing 203 slidably arranged on the sliding guide rail 202, a fixing member 204 located on the linear bearing 203, two positioning bearings 205 located at the front end of the fixing member 204, an optical axis 206 whose two ends are respectively fixed to the fixing member 204 and the baffle 201, and a first spring 207 sleeved on the surface of the optical axis 206. The pressure between the bearing to be detected and the two positioning bearings drives the linear bearing 203 and the first spring 207 to move in the horizontal direction along the sliding guide rail. The first pushing part 15 is driven by the first cylinder 14 and pushes the bearing to be detected, and continuously pushes multiple bearings to be detected to be sequentially transmitted to the front of the detection module, and there is a thrust between two adjacent bearings to be detected. When the bearing to be detected contacts the two positioning bearings, the two positioning bearings are thrusted by the bearing to be detected, driving the linear bearing 203 to move outward in the horizontal direction along the sliding guide rail 202, and the first spring 207 is compressed. When the bearing to be detected moves to the middle of the two positioning bearings, the bearing to be detected does not give thrust to the two positioning bearings. The restoring force of the first spring 207 drives the linear bearing 203 to move inward in the horizontal direction along the sliding guide rail 202, and the bearing to be detected is tightly fixed on the L-shaped feeding channel 10. The second sensor 21 identifies the front and back sides of the upward end face of the bearing to be detected. According to the technical solution, the first positioning mechanism will fix the bearing to be detected to prevent the displacement of the bearing to be detected due to vibration, which will cause the sensor to misdetect. The first positioning mechanism is simple, stable and reliable.

[0033] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the pushing module 3 includes a second cylinder 30 located at one side of the L-shaped feed channel 10, a second pushing portion 31 located at the front end of the second cylinder 30, and a third sensor (not shown in the figure) located on the second pushing portion. When the third sensor detects that the second pushing portion 31 is located at the initial position, the first pushing portion 15 is driven 14 by the first cylinder and pushes the bearing of the L-shaped feed channel 10 that has passed the detection to the second pushing portion 31, and the second pushing portion 31 is driven by the second cylinder 30 and pushes the bearing that has passed the detection to the flip module 4. According to this technical solution, the position of the second pushing portion is detected by the third sensor to prevent the first cylinder from driving the bearing on the L-shaped feed channel to be transmitted forward when the second cylinder has not returned to the initial position, resulting in the bearing on the L-shaped feed channel being squeezed, thereby crushing the bearing.

[0034] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4It is a structural schematic diagram of a flip module in an embodiment of the present invention. The flip module 4 includes a flip mechanism 40 fixed to one side of the L-shaped feed channel 10, a rotating cylinder 41 fixed to one end of the flip mechanism 40, and a second positioning mechanism 42 arranged on the other side of the L-shaped feed channel. The flip mechanism 40 has a hollow groove, the thickness of the hollow groove is consistent with the thickness of the bearing, the radial length of the hollow groove perpendicular to the L-shaped feed channel 10 is consistent with the diameter of the bearing, and the radial length of the hollow groove parallel to the L-shaped feed channel 10 is slightly larger than the diameter of the bearing. The second positioning mechanism 42 is connected to the hollow groove, and the second positioning mechanism 42 positions the bearing that has passed the detection in the hollow groove. According to the recognition result of the detection module, the flip mechanism 40 is driven by the rotating cylinder 41 and drives the bearing that has passed the detection to rotate. The pushing module 3 pushes the bearing that has passed the detection to the hollow groove of the flip mechanism 40, and the second positioning mechanism 42 positions the bearing that has passed the detection in the hollow groove. According to the recognition result of the detection module, the rotating cylinder 41 drives the flip mechanism 40 to rotate, and drives the bearing that has passed the detection to rotate. For example, if the upward end face of the bearing that has passed the detection is the front side, the flip mechanism does not act, and if the upward end face of the bearing that has passed the detection is the reverse side, the flip cylinder drives the rotating mechanism to rotate 180 degrees, and drives the bearing that has passed the detection to rotate 180 degrees, so that the upward end face of the bearing that has passed the detection is rotated to the front side.

[0035] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the second positioning mechanism 42 includes an L-shaped bracket 420, a positioning mechanism 421 arranged on the L-shaped feed channel, and a second spring 422 fixed at both ends to the L-shaped bracket and the positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism 421 is provided with a semicircular groove, the thickness of the semicircular groove is consistent with the thickness of the bearing, the diameter of the semicircular groove is smaller than the diameter of the bearing, and the pressure of the bearing passing the test and the semicircular groove drives the positioning mechanism 421 and the second spring 422 to move in the horizontal direction. The pushing module 3 pushes the bearing passing the test to the hollow groove, and when the bearing passing the test contacts the semicircular groove and applies pressure to the groove, the pressure drives the positioning structure 421 to move outward in the horizontal direction, compressing the second spring 422, so that the second spring is compressed. When the bearing passing the test is stuck in the groove, the restoring force of the second spring 422 pushes the bearing passing the test into the hollow groove, so that the bearing passing the test is positioned in the hollow groove. According to the technical solution, the bearing that has passed the inspection is positioned on the flipping mechanism by the second positioning mechanism to ensure that the bearing can flip normally.

[0036] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the bearing end face identification and flipping device further includes a discharge mechanism 5, the discharge mechanism 5 includes a first discharge channel 50 and a second discharge channel 51, the first discharge channel 50 is connected to the flip module 4, the first discharge channel 50 and the second discharge channel 51 are connected, and one side of the horizontal slide of the second discharge channel 51 is higher than the other side. The bearing passing through the flip module 4 is transmitted to the first discharge channel 50, and the bearing on the first discharge channel 50 is placed horizontally. Since the heights of the two sides of the horizontal slide of the second discharge channel 51 are inconsistent, the horizontally placed bearing is changed to be placed vertically, which is convenient for the subsequent arrangement and assembly of the bearing.

[0037] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the discharging mechanism 5 further includes: a V-shaped slide 52 connected to the second discharging channel 51, a third cylinder 53 located at one end of the V-shaped slide 52, a fourth sensor 54 located at the other end of the V-shaped slide 52, a fourth cylinder 55 located below the V-shaped slide 52, and an assembly box 56, wherein the third cylinder 53 drives the bearings of the second discharging channel 51 to be transferred to the V-shaped slide 52, and when the fourth sensor 54 detects that the bearings on the V-shaped slide 52 are full, the fourth cylinder 55 drives the full bearings on the V-shaped slide 52 to be transferred to the assembly box 56. According to this technical solution, the end faces of the bearings are aligned, and the bearings are arranged to complete the arrangement of the bearings.

[0038] According to the technical solution, the detection speed of bearing end face identification and flipping is improved, the production efficiency is improved, and the enterprise's production capacity is effectively increased; the identification device has low cost, saves enterprise costs, and creates a larger profit space for the enterprise; through the automated detection and flipping of the bearing, the detection accuracy is improved; the identification device has a simple structure and is stable and reliable.
