[0001] This disclosure belongs to the technical field of ribbon processing equipment, and in particular relates to an automatic ribbon reel inspection machine. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of ribbons, after each ribbon ornament is produced on the production line, the quality inspection department needs to send people to inspect, sort and distinguish them. This highly repetitive work can only be done manually. In mass production, a lot of people are often called up to perform this process, which increases the company’s labor and management costs. At the same time, it cannot guarantee the pass rate. Using manual repetitive actions is prone to errors and is inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic tape reel inspection machine to overcome the defects existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] An automatic tape reel inspection machine includes a cabinet, a vision inspection system, a feeding reel, a tightening roller seat, a receiving reel, a locking mechanism, and two pressure feeding roller seats. The cabinet is equipped with a conveying platform and an inspection platform. The two pressure feeding roller seats are respectively installed at both ends of the conveying platform and are used to convey the tape. The feeding reel is fixedly installed above the conveying platform and is used to hold the tape. The receiving reel is fixedly installed at one end of the inspection platform and is used to reel the tape. The tightening roller seat is fixedly installed on the conveying platform and is used to tighten the tape extending from the feeding reel. The locking mechanism is installed on the inspection platform near the receiving reel. The vision inspection system includes a detection camera, which is used to perform image recognition on the tape and determine whether it is qualified. The detection camera fixes unqualified tape through the locking mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the visual inspection system also includes an image processor, a PLC control module, and a storage module. The storage module is used to store images of qualified webbing. The image processor is used to receive images captured by the inspection camera and compare the images with the qualified images in the storage module. If there is a difference in the comparison, the locking mechanism at the corresponding position is activated through the PLC control module.

[0007] Furthermore, the receiving reel includes a support plate, a shaft, a servo motor, and multiple receiving reels. The support plate is fixedly installed at the lower outer end of the conveying platform. The shaft is rotatably installed on one side of the support plate, and the servo motor is fixedly installed on the other side of the support plate. The servo motor is used to drive the shaft to rotate. The middle of the multiple receiving reels is rotatably installed on the shaft through a damping sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes multiple U-shaped plates and a second cylinder. The surface of the conveying platform has a slot on one side of the webbing. The U-shaped plates are movably inserted into the slots, with the upper end of the U-shaped plates extending out of the conveying platform. The second cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying platform, and the piston shaft of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower end of the U-shaped plates. The second cylinder is controlled to start and stop by a PLC control module.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure roller seat includes two support frames, which are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the conveying platform. Two I-shaped sliders are slidably installed inside the support frames. An upper pressure roller and a lower pressure roller are rotatably installed between the two I-shaped sliders between the two support frames. A first cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame, and the piston shaft of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the I-shaped slider at the upper end of the support frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a belt drive is installed at one end of the pressure roller seat near the receiving reel, which is used to drive the lower pressure roller at the corresponding position to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, the tightening roller seat includes a mounting frame, inside which three rotating shafts are rotatably mounted, and multiple limiting sleeves are uniformly fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating shafts. The height of the rotating shaft in the middle of the mounting frame is higher than that of the rotating shafts on both sides.

[0012] Furthermore, a rubber sheet is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the upper end of the U-shaped pressure plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the visual inspection system also includes a display screen, which is fixedly mounted on the cabinet and is used to display images captured by the inspection camera.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0015] In the process of conveying webbing, this invention can detect printing quality defects in the incoming webbing using a detection camera. The vision inspection system receives the image captured by the detection camera and compares it with qualified images in the storage module. If there is a difference, the locking mechanism at the corresponding position is activated. The locking mechanism can fix the defective webbing to prevent it from moving further. At the same time, the undefective webbing can continue to be collected by the receiving tray. While ensuring the removal of defective products, it is also possible to continue collecting good webbing, thus improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solutions of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Unless otherwise stated, the exemplary implementations / embodiments shown are to be understood as providing exemplary features of various details that provide ways in which the technical concepts of this disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the features of various implementations / embodiments may be additionally combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concepts of this disclosure.

[0026] The use of crosshairs and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to clarify the boundaries between adjacent components. Thus, unless otherwise stated, the presence or absence of crosshairs or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific material, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the illustrated components, or any other characteristics, properties, etc., of the components. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, the dimensions and relative dimensions of components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, a specific process sequence may be performed in a different order than that described. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order of their description. Furthermore, the same reference numerals denote the same components.

[0027] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "above" another component, "connected to," or "joined to" another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly joined to the other component, or there may be intermediate components. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on" another component, "directly connected to," or "directly joined to" another component, there are no intermediate components. Therefore, the term "connection" can refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., and may or may not have intermediate components.

[0028] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” another component or feature would subsequently be positioned “above” said other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0029] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well. Furthermore, when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” and variations thereof are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof. It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” and other similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree, thus explaining the inherent biases in measurements, calculated values, and / or provided values ​​that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this invention provides an automatic tape reel inspection machine, including a cabinet 1, a vision inspection system, a feeding reel 2, a tightening roller seat 3, a receiving reel 7, a locking mechanism 9, and two pressure roller seats 4. The cabinet 1 is equipped with a conveyor platform 11 and an inspection platform 12. The two pressure roller seats 4 are respectively installed at both ends of the conveyor platform 11 and are used to convey the tape. The feeding reel 2 is fixedly installed above the conveyor platform 11 and is used to hold the tape. Multiple feeding reels 2 are provided, enabling simultaneous operation on multiple tapes, thus improving inspection efficiency. The receiving reel... The belt 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the inspection platform 12. The take-up belt 2 is used to take the webbing. The tightening roller seat 3 is fixedly installed on the conveyor platform 11. The tightening roller seat 3 is used to tighten the webbing extending from the feed belt 2. The belt locking mechanism 9 is installed on the inspection platform 12 near the take-up belt 2. The vision inspection system includes a detection camera 6. The detection camera 6 is used to perform image recognition on the webbing and determine whether it is qualified. The detection camera 6 fixes the unqualified webbing through the belt locking mechanism 9 to prevent the unqualified webbing from being taken up, and also facilitates the inspection by the staff and improves the production efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, the visual inspection system further includes an image processor, a PLC control module, and a storage module. The storage module is used to store images of qualified webbing. The image processor is used to receive images captured by the inspection camera 6 and compare the images with the qualified images in the storage module. If there is a difference in the comparison, the locking mechanism 9 at the corresponding position is activated through the PLC control module. This control part is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In this embodiment, the take-up reel 7 includes a support plate 71, a shaft 72, a servo motor 74, and multiple take-up reels 73. The support plate 71 is fixedly installed at the lower outer end of the conveyor platform 11. The shaft 72 is rotatably installed on one side of the support plate 71, and the servo motor 74 is fixedly installed on the other side of the support plate 71. The servo motor 74 is used to drive the shaft 72 to rotate. To avoid the webbing breaking due to excessive tension in the take-up reel 7, the middle of the multiple take-up reels 73 is rotatably installed on the shaft 72 through a damping sleeve. When the friction of the damping sleeve is greater than the tension of the webbing, the take-up operation can be carried out smoothly. When the tension of the webbing is greater than the friction of the damping sleeve, the take-up reel 73 spins freely on the shaft 72, thereby preventing the webbing from being pulled apart and also preventing defective webbing fixed by the locking mechanism 9 from being brought into the take-up reel 73.

[0033] See Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 9 includes multiple U-shaped plates 91 and a second cylinder 92. The surface of the conveying platform 11 has a slot 13 on one side of the webbing. The U-shaped plates 91 are movably inserted into the slot 13, with the upper end of the U-shaped plates 91 extending out of the conveying platform 11. The second cylinder 92 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying platform 11. The piston shaft of the second cylinder 92 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the U-shaped plates 91. The second cylinder 92 is controlled to start and stop by a PLC control module.

[0034] See Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the pressure roller seat 4 includes two support frames 41, which are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the conveying platform 11. Two I-shaped sliders 44 are slidably installed inside the support frames 41. An upper pressure roller 42 and a lower pressure roller 43 are rotatably installed between the two I-shaped sliders 44 between the two support frames 41. A first cylinder 45 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 41, and the piston shaft of the first cylinder 45 is fixedly connected to the I-shaped slider 44 at the upper end of the support frame 41.

[0035] In this embodiment, a belt drive 8 is installed at one end of the pressure roller seat 4 near the receiving reel 7. The belt drive 8 is used to drive the lower pressure roller 43 at the corresponding position to rotate.

[0036] See Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the tightening roller seat 3 includes a mounting frame, and three rotating shafts 31 are rotatably mounted inside the mounting frame. Multiple limiting sleeves 32 are uniformly fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating shafts 31. The rotating shaft 31 in the middle of the mounting frame is higher than the rotating shafts 31 on both sides. In actual operation, the webbing is undulated around the multiple rotating shafts 31, which can tighten the webbing and ensure the stability of the webbing transmission.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the damage to the webbing when the U-shaped pressure plate 91 is pressed down, and at the same time to increase the friction of pressing, a rubber sheet 93 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the upper end of the U-shaped pressure plate 91.

[0038] In this embodiment, the visual inspection system also includes a display screen, which is fixedly installed on the cabinet 1 and is used to display images captured by the inspection camera 6.

[0039] The specific implementation process of this invention is as follows: Multiple webbing reels are manually loaded onto the feeding reel belt 2. The webbing is pulled out and passed through multiple rotating shafts 31 of the tightening roller seat 3. The positions of the multiple webbings are separated by the limiting sleeve 32. Starting the belt drive motor 8 drives the lower pressure roller 43 to rotate. The webbing is clamped by the upper pressure roller 42 and the lower pressure roller 43. At this time, the rotation of the lower pressure roller 43 can transport the webbing from the inspection platen 12 to the receiving reel 7. During the transport process, the detection camera 6 detects printing quality defects in the incoming webbing, including... Defective images such as dirt spots, missing prints, color differences, misalignment, misregistration, and die-cutting waste are received by the image processor from the detection camera 6 and compared with qualified images in the storage module. If there is a difference, the PLC control module will activate the second cylinder 92 at the corresponding position. The activation of the second cylinder 92 will press down the U-shaped pressure plate 91 at the corresponding position, thereby fixing the defective webbing and preventing the defective webbing from moving further. At the same time, the undefective webbing can continue to be collected by the receiving tray 73.
