Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery sorting machine technology, specifically to a material conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] A battery sorting machine is a device that sorts, stores, and manages batteries according to different parameter data.

[0003] When sorting batteries, the first step is to use a conveyor belt to feed the batteries. During the feeding process, a CCD camera takes pictures of the batteries. However, the conveyor line usually does not stop while the CCD camera is taking pictures. Even if the conveyor line is moving slowly, it can still affect the normal picture taking process of the CCD camera, resulting in blurry images. Therefore, we propose a material conveying line. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a material conveying line that solves the problem that the conveying line generally does not stop during CCD camera photography, which easily leads to blurry images captured by the CCD camera.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a material conveying line, comprising a material feeding and conveying mechanism, wherein a defective material discharge mechanism is provided on the side of the material feeding and conveying mechanism, and the material feeding and conveying mechanism and the defective material discharge mechanism are respectively used for feeding materials and discharging defective materials.

[0008] The material feeding and conveying mechanism includes a feeding frame, an internal feeding conveyor belt, a conveyor motor mounted on the side of the feeding frame and connected to the feeding conveyor belt, and a barcode scanning mechanism and a blocking mechanism on the feeding frame. The barcode scanning mechanism and the blocking mechanism are used for photographing and blocking the material, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding frame is equipped with multiple first fixed frames, and multiple connecting rods are arranged below the first fixed frames. The multiple first fixed frames are connected to three first guide bars through the multiple connecting rods, and the three first guide bars are all located above the feeding conveyor belt.

[0010] Preferably, multiple first limiting blocks are fixedly installed above each of the three first guide strips, and the three first guide strips, together with the multiple first limiting blocks, are used for guiding materials.

[0011] Preferably, the defective material discharge mechanism includes a discharge frame, an internal discharge conveyor belt, and a discharge motor fixedly installed on the side of the discharge frame, and the discharge motor is connected to the discharge conveyor belt for transmission.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of second fixed frames are installed above the discharge frame, and two second guide strips are symmetrically installed below the plurality of second fixed frames, and a plurality of second limiting blocks are fixedly installed above each of the two second guide strips.

[0013] Preferably, the scanning mechanism includes a scanning mounting frame, which is fixedly installed above the feeder frame. A transverse cylinder is installed on the top of the scanning mounting frame, and a moving block is fixedly connected to the end of the extension shaft of the transverse cylinder. A CCD camera is installed on the front of the moving block, and the CCD camera is located above the feed conveyor belt.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the barcode scanning mounting bracket is equipped with a slide rail, and the moving block is slidably connected to the slide rail. An extension rod is fixedly installed on the front of the moving block, a positioning block is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the extension rod, and the CCD camera is fixedly installed on the side of the positioning block.

[0015] Preferably, the blocking mechanism includes a blocking mounting frame, a mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the top end face of the blocking mounting frame, two vertical cylinders are symmetrically arranged on the front side of the mounting plate, a pressing rod is fixedly mounted on the bottom protruding end of the vertical cylinder, and a blocking strip is provided at the bottom end of the pressing rod.

[0016] Preferably, the front side of the mounting plate is provided with a rotating block, which is rotatably connected to the blocking strip.

[0017] This invention discloses a material conveying line, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This material conveying line, through the set conveyor motor, can drive the feed conveyor belt to rotate, so that the material placed on the feed conveyor belt can move accordingly. When the material moves to the area below the barcode scanning mechanism and the blocking mechanism, the blocking mechanism blocks the material while the barcode scanning mechanism takes a picture of the material. Even if the feed conveyor belt does not stop rotating, it will not affect the barcode scanning mechanism from taking pictures of the material.

[0019] 2. In this material conveyor line, because the rotating block and the blocking bar are rotatably connected, under normal circumstances, when the top of the material contacts the bottom of the blocking bar, it will push the blocking bar to rotate relative to the rotating block, and then continue to move forward through the bottom of the blocking mounting frame. When the vertical cylinder works, its bottom protruding end pushes the extrusion rod downward. When the bottom of the extrusion rod abuts against the top of the blocking bar, the blocking bar cannot continue to rotate. Thus, when the top of the material contacts the bottom of the blocking bar, it will be blocked by the bottom of the blocking bar and cannot continue to move forward, thereby playing a blocking role, which makes it convenient for the CCD camera to take pictures of the two rows of materials below.

[0020] 3. In this material conveying line, when the transverse cylinder is working, its extended shaft can push the moving block to move on the slide rail at the top of the barcode scanning mounting frame. This allows the moving block to drive the CCD camera mounted on its front to move laterally, enabling the CCD camera to take pictures of the two rows of materials below. The three first guide bars are positioned above the feeding conveyor belt under the action of multiple first fixed frames and multiple connecting rods. The three first guide bars, together with multiple first limit blocks, can guide the two rows of materials, ensuring that the two rows of materials do not interfere with each other when they are being transmitted on the feeding conveyor belt. The two second guide bars are positioned above the discharging conveyor belt under the action of multiple second fixed frames. This allows the two second guide bars, together with multiple second limit blocks, to guide the materials, ensuring that there is no deviation during the discharging process.

[0031] This application provides a material conveying line that solves the problem of blurry images caused by the conveying line not stopping during camera photography. When the material moves below the scanning mechanism 3 and the blocking mechanism 4, the blocking mechanism 4 blocks the material while the scanning mechanism 3 takes a picture of the material. Even if the feeding conveyor belt 102 does not stop rotating, it will not affect the scanning mechanism 3 from taking pictures of the material.

[0032] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0033] This invention discloses a material conveying line.

[0034] According to the appendix Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes a material feeding and conveying mechanism 1, and a defective material discharge mechanism 2 is provided on the side of the material feeding and conveying mechanism 1. The material feeding and conveying mechanism 1 and the defective material discharge mechanism 2 are used for feeding materials and discharging defective materials, respectively.

[0035] The material feeding and conveying mechanism 1 includes a feeding frame 101, a feeding conveyor belt 102 is installed inside the feeding frame 101, a conveyor motor 103 is installed on the side of the feeding frame 101, and the conveyor motor 103 is connected to the feeding conveyor belt 102 for transmission. A barcode scanning mechanism 3 and a blocking mechanism 4 are provided on the feeding frame 101. The barcode scanning mechanism 3 and the blocking mechanism 4 are used for photographing and blocking the material, respectively.

[0036] The conveyor motor 103 can drive the feeding conveyor belt 102 to rotate, so that the material placed on the feeding conveyor belt 102 can move accordingly. When the material moves to the area between the scanning mechanism 3 and the blocking mechanism 4, the blocking mechanism 4 blocks the material while the scanning mechanism 3 takes a picture of the material. Even if the feeding conveyor belt 102 does not stop rotating, it will not affect the scanning mechanism 3 from taking a picture of the material.

[0037] The feeding conveyor belt 102 has two feeding rotating shafts inside, both of which are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding frame 101. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 103 is connected to one of the feeding rotating shafts. When the conveyor motor 103 is working, it can drive one of the feeding rotating shafts to rotate, thereby causing the feeding conveyor belt 102 to rotate accordingly.

[0038] Preferably, a plurality of first fixed frames 104 are installed on the feed frame 101, a plurality of connecting rods 105 are provided below the first fixed frames 104, and the plurality of first fixed frames 104 are connected to three first guide bars 106 through the plurality of connecting rods 105, and the three first guide bars 106 are all located above the feed conveyor belt 102.

[0039] Preferably, multiple first limiting blocks 107 are fixedly installed above each of the three first guide bars 106, and the three first guide bars 106 cooperate with the multiple first limiting blocks 107 to guide the material.

[0040] The three first guide bars 106 are positioned above the feeding conveyor belt 102 under the action of multiple first fixed frames 104 and multiple connecting rods 105. The three first guide bars 106, together with multiple first limit blocks 107, can guide the two rows of materials so that the two rows of materials do not affect each other when they are driven on the feeding conveyor belt 102.

[0041] Preferably, the defective material discharge mechanism 2 includes a discharge frame 201, a discharge conveyor belt 202 is provided inside the discharge frame 201, and a discharge motor 203 is fixedly installed on the side of the discharge frame 201, and the discharge motor 203 is connected to the discharge conveyor belt 202 for transmission.

[0042] The discharge conveyor belt 202 has two discharge rotating shafts inside, both of which are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge frame 201. The output shaft of the discharge motor 203 is connected to one of the discharge rotating shafts. When the discharge motor 203 is working, it can drive one of the discharge rotating shafts to rotate, thereby causing the discharge conveyor belt 202 to rotate accordingly.

[0043] Preferably, a plurality of second fixing frames 204 are installed above the discharge frame 201, and two second guide bars 205 are symmetrically installed below the plurality of second fixing frames 204, and a plurality of second limiting blocks 206 are fixedly installed above the two second guide bars 205.

[0044] Two second guide bars 205 are positioned above the discharge conveyor belt 202 under the action of multiple second fixed frames 204, thereby enabling the two second guide bars 205 to work with multiple second limiting blocks 206 to guide the material, so that there will be no deviation during the discharge process.

[0045] Preferably, the barcode scanning mechanism 3 includes a barcode scanning mounting frame 301, which is fixedly installed above the feeder frame 101. A transverse cylinder 302 is installed on the top of the barcode scanning mounting frame 301. A moving block 303 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension shaft of the transverse cylinder 302. A CCD camera 304 is installed on the front of the moving block 303, and the CCD camera 304 is located above the feed conveyor belt 102.

[0046] Preferably, a slide rail 305 is installed on the top of the barcode scanning mounting bracket 301, and a moving block 303 is slidably connected to the slide rail 305. An extension rod 306 is fixedly installed on the front of the moving block 303, a positioning block 307 is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the extension rod 306, and a CCD camera 304 is fixedly installed on the side of the positioning block 307.

[0047] When the horizontal cylinder 302 is working, its extended shaft can push the moving block 303 to move on the slide rail 305 on the top of the barcode scanning mounting frame 301, thereby enabling the moving block 303 to drive the CCD camera 304 mounted on its front to move laterally, so that the CCD camera 304 can take pictures of the two rows of materials below.

[0048] Preferably, the blocking mechanism 4 includes a blocking mounting bracket 401, a mounting plate 402 is fixedly mounted on the top end face of the blocking mounting bracket 401, two vertical cylinders 403 are symmetrically arranged on the front side of the mounting plate 402, a pressing rod 404 is fixedly mounted on the bottom protruding end of the vertical cylinder 403, and a blocking strip 405 is provided at the bottom end of the pressing rod 404.

[0049] Preferably, a rotating block 406 is provided on the front side of the mounting plate 402, and the rotating block 406 is rotatably connected to the blocking strip 405.

[0050] Because the rotating block 406 is rotatably connected to the blocking strip 405, under normal circumstances, when the top of the material contacts the bottom of the blocking strip 405, it will push the blocking strip 405 to rotate relative to the rotating block 406, and then continue to move forward through the bottom of the blocking mounting bracket 401. When the vertical cylinder 403 works, its bottom protruding end pushes the extrusion rod 404 downward. When the bottom of the extrusion rod 404 abuts against the top of the blocking strip 405, the blocking strip 405 cannot continue to rotate. Thus, when the top of the material contacts the bottom of the blocking strip 405, it will be blocked by the bottom of the blocking strip 405 and cannot continue to move forward, thus playing a blocking role, which makes it convenient for the CCD camera 304 to take pictures of the two rows of materials below.

[0051] The conveyor motor 103 can drive the feeding conveyor belt 102 to rotate, so that the material placed on the feeding conveyor belt 102 can move accordingly. When the material moves to the area between the scanning mechanism 3 and the blocking mechanism 4, the blocking mechanism 4 blocks the material while the scanning mechanism 3 takes a picture of the material. Even if the feeding conveyor belt 102 does not stop rotating, it will not affect the scanning mechanism 3 from taking a picture of the material.

[0052] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
