[0033] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 10 The lower frame 1 is equipped with a gantry support column 27. Two sets of horizontal servo linear modules 19 are mounted on the gantry support column 27. A module bracket 31 is mounted on the horizontal servo linear module 19. A vertical servo linear module 20 is mounted on the module bracket 31. An automatic feather rotation gripping mechanism 21 is mounted on the vertical servo linear module 20.

The return discharge port 25 connects to the horizontal conveyor line 16, allowing the feathers to repeat the above process, realizing the closed loop of feather return.
[0037] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The mechanism consists of a four-axis alternating transfer mechanism, a horizontal conveyor line 16, and a discharge conveyor line 22. The discharge conveyor line 22 is installed between the four-axis alternating transfer mechanism and the horizontal conveyor line 16. The four-axis alternating transfer mechanism grabs the feathers on the horizontal conveyor line 16, adjusts the angle, and places them on the discharge conveyor line 22. The feathers are then sent out through the discharge conveyor line 22.
[0038] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 Above the lower frame 1, there is also a profile frame 2. Around the profile frame 2, there are tri-color lights 3, a display screen 4, a keyboard 5, a mouse 6, and a PLC control panel 7.

[0039] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 An AI camera 29 is installed inside the upper part of the profile frame 2. The AI camera 29 is mounted on the camera mounting bracket 72. The camera mounting bracket 72 is mounted on the camera adjustment fixing block 73. The camera adjustment fixing block 73 is fixed on the fixing shaft 74. The fixing seat 33 locks the fixing shaft 74 onto the profile frame. The AI camera 29 can be height adjusted according to the actual use.
[0040] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 A light source 28 is installed around the AI camera 29. The light source 28 is fixed on the light mounting strip 71. The light mounting strip 71 is connected to the fixing block 70 and locked on the optical axis 32. The optical axis 32 is fixed on the fixing seat 33. The fixing seat 33 is installed on the frame 2. The light source 28 is used to supplement the light of the AI camera 29. The height of the light source 28 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0041] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The lower frame 1 has an adjustable lower support 26 for the elevator on the left side. An inclined elevator 13 is mounted on the adjustable lower support 26. The inclined elevator 13 has an elevator inlet 12 for feeding feathers. The inclined elevator 13 also has a feather sorting mechanism 14 for sorting feathers. The inclined elevator 13 has an elevator outlet 15 at the outlet. The elevator outlet 15 is connected to the horizontal conveyor line 16 and is used to transport feathers from the inclined elevator 13 to the horizontal conveyor line 16.
[0042] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 On the right side of the feather processing mechanism 14, there is a first motor mounting plate 35, on which a first reduction motor 34 is mounted. The first reduction motor 34 drives the transmission shaft 36 to rotate. On the left side, there is a fixing plate 43, on which a first transmission shaft support bearing seat 44 is provided. The transmission shaft 36 rotates inside the first transmission shaft support bearing seat 44. The transmission shaft 36 drives the transmission connecting plates 37 on both sides to move. The transmission connecting plates 37 drive the material processing transmission shaft 41 to move via the transmission rod 38. Due to the constraint of the transmission slide plate 39, its range of motion is reduced to achieve the actual required movement trajectory.
[0043] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The two ends of the material feeding drive shaft 41 are locked onto the drive rod 38 by the fixing ring 40. Several material feeding shafts 42 are installed in the middle of the material feeding drive shaft 41. The material feeding shafts 42 are adjusted and locked by the locking screws installed on the material feeding drive shaft 41. The extension length of the material feeding shafts 42 can be adjusted and fixed according to the actual situation.
[0044] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8The feather preparation structure 14 includes a second motor mounting plate 46, on which a second reduction motor 45 is mounted. A transmission plate 47 is mounted on the shaft end of the second reduction motor 45. A bearing is mounted on the other side of the transmission plate 47. One end of the transmission shaft column 48 is fixed to the bearing mounted on the transmission plate 47. Several material handling shaft fixing rings 49 are mounted in the middle of the transmission shaft column 48. Material handling shaft rods 50 are mounted on the material handling shaft fixing rings 49. The material handling shaft rods 50 are locked by fastening screws on the material handling shaft fixing rings 49.
[0045] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The other end of the drive shaft column 48 is also equipped with a bearing, which is mounted on one side of the drive plate 47. The other side of the drive plate 47 is equipped with a drive support shaft 53, which is fixed on the second drive shaft support bearing seat 52. The second drive shaft support bearing seat 52 is assembled on the drive shaft support plate 51.
[0046] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The second reduction motor 45 drives the transmission plate 47 to rotate, and the transmission plate 47 drives the transmission shaft column 48 to rotate. Since the transmission shaft column 48 is equipped with bearings on both sides, the material handling shaft 50 is always in a downward state due to gravity when the transmission shaft column 48 is rotating.
[0047] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 The automatic feather rotating gripping mechanism 21 includes a servo motor 54, which is mounted on a guide mounting plate 55. A synchronous pulley 56 is mounted on the shaft end of the servo motor 54, and a synchronous belt 57 is mounted on the synchronous pulley 56. The other end of the synchronous belt 57 is mounted on an idler wheel below the guide mounting plate 55. A U-shaped photoelectric sensor 64 is mounted above and below the guide mounting plate 55 to detect the limit signals of the vertical position.
[0048] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 A linear guide rail 58 is also mounted on the guide mounting plate 55. A guide slide bracket 59 is mounted on the linear guide rail 58. An upward limit detection plate 66 is mounted above the guide slide bracket 59 to detect the upward position of the U-shaped photoelectric sensor 64. A downward limit detection plate 65 is mounted below the guide slide bracket 59 to detect the downward position of the U-shaped photoelectric sensor 64.
[0049] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 9The servo motor 54 drives the synchronous belt 57 via the synchronous pulley 56. The synchronous belt 57 drives the guide slide bracket 59 to move up and down via the transmission toothed plate 67 and the linear guide rail 58. The guide slide bracket 59 drives the hollow motor 61. The hollow motor 61 is equipped with a pneumatic rotary joint 60 at its upper end. The hollow motor 61 drives the pneumatic gripper 62 to move up and down. The rotation of the hollow motor 61 drives the pneumatic gripper 62 to rotate. The limit positions of the up and down movement are provided to the U-shaped photoelectric sensor 64 through the limit detection plate, and then fed back to the PLC controller by the U-shaped photoelectric sensor 64. The origin position of the hollow motor 61 is provided to the U-shaped photoelectric sensor 64 by the detection disc 63, and then fed back to the PLC controller by the U-shaped photoelectric sensor 64.
[0050] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0051] Manually, workers feed bags or boxes of loose feathers into the elevator inlet 12 according to its volume. The feathers are then lifted upwards by the inclined elevator 13. During this process, due to the weight of the accumulated feathers, the feathers gradually change from a dense, disordered, and irregularly stacked state to a sparse, disordered, and irregularly stacked state as they are conveyed upwards. When the feathers reach a certain height, they need to pass through the feather sorting mechanism 14. The feather sorting mechanism 14 sorts the feathers, making them into a regular shape and further thinning out any stacked feathers, allowing excess feathers to fall down and be conveyed again. This ensures that the stacked feathers gradually separate after passing through the feather sorting mechanism 14. When the feathers reach the elevator outlet 15... Feathers fall through the feed inlet 15 of the elevator. Due to the characteristics of the feathers and the height from which they fall, the feathers gradually detach during free fall, further thinning out the overlapping feathers. The fallen feathers fall onto the horizontal conveyor line 16, which then transports them to the feather combing mechanism 17 for further combing. This further thins out the overlapping feathers and makes them more regular in shape, separating the overlapping feathers. The overlapping feathers pass through this mechanism, allowing the feathers in contact with the horizontal conveyor line 16 to continue forward. After falling off, the overlapping feathers come into contact with the horizontal conveyor line 16 again and are transported forward once more. After passing through the feather combing mechanism 17, the feathers continue forward past the guide block 18. The guide block 18 guides the feathers from the two sides... The feathers are automatically guided to move in the center direction of the horizontal conveyor line 16. After passing the guide block 18, the feathers enter the visual inspection area of the horizontal conveyor line 16. The visual inspection is performed by an AI camera 29. The AI camera 29 is surrounded by light sources 28 for supplementary lighting. The height of the light sources 28 and the AI camera 29 can be adjusted according to actual use. The AI camera 29 detects the feathers in the inspection area and sends the detected position information and status information of the feathers to the PLC controller through instructions. The PLC controller sends instructions to the horizontal servo linear module 19, the vertical servo linear module 20, and the automatic feather rotation gripping mechanism 21. The two sets of linear modules drive the automatic feather rotation gripping mechanism 21 to grab the feathers, and then... The grasped feathers are lifted, and then the automatic feather-grabbing mechanism 21 adjusts the angle to the required position. Two sets of linear modules then drive the automatic feather-grabbing mechanism 21 to feed the grasped feathers into the discharge conveyor line 22. The feathers are then discharged through the discharge conveyor line 22, whose outlet can be connected to various process equipment to form independent automated production units according to production needs. Additionally, because the horizontal conveyor line 16 is in motion, feathers that the automatic feather-grabbing mechanism 21 fails to grasp will continue to be conveyed forward along the horizontal conveyor line 16 and fall onto the return conveyor line 23. The fallen feathers are then conveyed by the return conveyor line 23 to the return inlet 30, where they fall onto the return elevator 24.Feathers are lifted upwards by the return elevator 24 and fall to the return discharge port 25. From there, they fall again onto the horizontal conveyor line 16, where they are conveyed forward, repeating the processes of sorting, guiding, detecting, and gripping. This closed-loop return process prevents feathers from falling out due to insufficient gripping, ensuring that feathers are output in a single, orderly manner. The equipment repeats this cycle during operation.
[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
