Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing and packing equipment, and more specifically to an automatic testing and packing equipment with an air supply device and a testing and packing method thereof. Background Technology

[0002] The most important parts inside a hair dryer are the heating element and the air supply device. When the power is on, the heating element generates heat, and the air blown out by the air supply device becomes hot air after passing through the heating element. If only the air supply device is activated, but the heating element does not generate heat, then only air will be blown out without heat.

[0003] Currently available hair dryers typically consist of a motor and fan blades connected to the motor. For example, Chinese patent ZL202311552147.7 discloses: "A hair dryer includes a housing, an air supply component, a heating component, and a heat reflector. The housing has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an air duct connecting the air inlet and outlet; the air supply component is disposed within the air duct to generate airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet; the heating component is disposed within the air duct and can generate heat when energized; the heat reflector is disposed within the air duct and covers the heating component, configured to reflect the heat emitted by the heating component back into the heating component. This hair dryer, by incorporating the heat reflector, can effectively reduce the temperature rise of the housing, preventing burns to the user, and also reduce energy consumption."

[0004] In the production process of hair dryers, the air supply device is usually assembled independently first, and then the entire air supply device is assembled into the hair dryer when the hair dryer is assembled as a whole. Before the air supply device is assembled into the blower, it is necessary to test the power supply device. After the test is completed, the air supply device needs to be packed and transported to the next process.

[0005] The air supply device requires multiple tests, including at least acceleration, rotational speed, and airflow direction. Current production processes rely on manual inspection, which is highly dependent on human senses and prone to error. While automated testing is feasible, the multiple tests necessitate manual transfer of the air supply device between various testing devices, leading to low efficiency in mass production. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an automated system capable of rapidly and simultaneously performing multiple tests on the air supply device and automatically packaging it after testing. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology where the detection and packaging of the blower air supply device requires manual operation, resulting in many detection errors and low production efficiency, the present invention provides an automatic detection and packaging device for the air supply device and a detection and packaging method thereof.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention to solve its technical problem is: an automatic detection and packing device for an air supply device, comprising:

[0008] Main support;

[0009] The feeding conveyor belt is used to deliver the air supply device consisting of a blower motor and a fan blade to the main support. The tail end of the feeding conveyor belt is also provided with a rear stop.

[0010] A material box support is used to place a good product material box to be filled. The material box support is equipped with a slide rail, and the good product material box can slide along the slide rail.

[0011] A robotic arm is connected to the main support. The end of the robotic arm is equipped with a clamping assembly that can clamp the air supply device and transfer it into the good product bin. The clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder and a gripper driven by the clamping cylinder.

[0012] The end of the robotic arm is also equipped with a power supply component, an acceleration detection component, a rotation speed detection component, and a wind direction detection component;

[0013] The power supply component includes two power supply probes, which supply power to the air supply component by contacting the metal tabs on the air supply component.

[0014] The acceleration detection component includes a vibration sensor, which is connected to the gripper. The vibration of the air supply device during operation can be transmitted to the vibration sensor through the gripper.

[0015] The speed detection component includes a first fiber optic probe, which can be aimed at the fan blades of the air supply device to detect the rotation of the fan blades.

[0016] The wind direction detection component includes a rotating plate and a photoelectric sensor. Both the rotating plate and the photoelectric sensor are connected to the gripper, and the rotating plate is movably disposed relative to the gripper. The rotating plate can rotate relative to the gripper to trigger the photoelectric sensor.

[0017] Further, the main support includes a control box, and the robotic arm is located in front of the control box. The control box, the robotic arm, and all its components are connected in a control manner.

[0018] The structure of the material box support is further improved by tilting the upper end of the support, causing the slide rail to tilt downwards. When the good product material box is placed on the support, it can automatically slide down the slide rail at an angle. The support also has several baffle blocks arranged sequentially along the length of the slide rail. The lowest baffle block is fixedly connected to the end of the slide rail, while the remaining baffle blocks are positioned along the path of the slide rail. A baffle cylinder is located below each of the remaining baffle blocks, allowing the baffle blocks to move, either rising above or falling below the slide rail. When a baffle block rises above the slide rail under the action of the baffle cylinder, it stops the good product material box on the slide rail. When a baffle block falls below the slide rail under the action of the baffle cylinder, the good product material box can continue to slide along the slide rail.

[0019] The lifting structure at the end of the robotic arm is further provided with a lifting cylinder connected to one side of the clamping cylinder. A lifting platform driven by the lifting cylinder is also connected to the lifting cylinder. The power supply component and the speed detection component are both connected to the lifting platform. The power supply component and the speed detection component are located above the gripper under the support of the lifting platform, and the power supply component and the speed detection component can move closer to or further away from the gripper under the drive of the lifting cylinder.

[0020] The motor alignment structure at the end of the robotic arm is further provided with a clamping cylinder connected to the end section of the robotic arm via a rotary table; the end of the robotic arm is also provided with an alignment component, which includes a second fiber optic probe connected to the lifting platform. The second fiber optic probe is used to detect the position of the notch on the air supply motor to adjust the position of the gripper relative to the air supply device, so that when the clamping component clamps the air supply device, the energized component can be aligned with the metal tabs on the air supply motor.

[0021] Further, the wind direction detection component has a rotating shaft passing through the gripper, and the rotating plate is connected to the rotating shaft. The upper side of the rotating plate also has a protruding trigger rib. The photoelectric sensor is located above the rotating plate, and the lower side of the photoelectric sensor includes a detection groove. When the rotating plate rotates around the rotating shaft, it can drive the trigger rib to enter or leave the detection groove.

[0022] The partition plate packing structure inside this equipment is further improved. A partition plate compartment is provided in front of the main support, and partition plates are stacked on the partition plate compartment. The partition plates are used to place in the good product box to achieve separation between the two layers of air supply devices. The end of the robotic arm is also provided with a partition plate transfer assembly. The partition plate transfer assembly includes several suction cups connected to the lifting platform. The suction cups can adhere to the surface of the partition plate.

[0023] Further, the specific structure of the partition compartment includes a partition support, on which several lead screws are mounted. A support plate is connected to the slider of each lead screw, allowing the support plate to slide relative to the partition support along the lead screws. The partition plates are stacked on top of the support plate. A push-pull rod is rotatably connected to one side of the support plate. Pushing or pulling the push-pull rod causes the support plate to slide along the lead screws. One end of the push-pull rod is connected to the support plate, and the other end is equipped with a limit shaft. Several limit blocks are also connected to the partition support. The support plate has a limiting groove on its upper part, and the two ends of the limiting shaft can be engaged in the limiting groove. When the partition plates on the support plate are used up, the limiting shaft can be manually lifted from the limiting groove, and then the push-pull rod can be pulled to move the support plate relative to the partition bracket, so that the support plate is away from the main bracket and closer to the edge of the equipment. At this time, new partition plates can be manually stacked on the support plate. Then, the push-pull rod can be pushed to move the support plate closer to the main bracket to reset. After the support plate is reset, the limiting shaft can be engaged back into the limiting groove to complete the fixation of the position of the support plate.

[0024] Further, the partition transfer assembly includes two swing arms symmetrically arranged on the lifting platform and a drive motor for driving the swing arms. The suction cup is connected to the swing arms. The swing arms are movable relative to the lifting platform and have at least a retracted state and an extended state relative to the lifting platform. The drive motor is connected to the swing arms through a transmission gear set. The swing arms change state relative to the lifting platform under the drive of the drive motor.

[0025] When the swing arm is in the retracted state, the swing arms on both the left and right sides are retracted on the lifting platform, and the suction cups on the left and right sides are close to each other at this time.

[0026] When the swing arm is in the extended state, it extends to the left and right sides of the lifting platform, and at this time the suction cups on the left and right sides also move away from each other under the action of the swing arm.

[0027] Further, the feeding conveyor belt has a storage platform at its tail end, and the rear stop block is connected to the storage platform. A rotary cylinder is also provided on one side of the feeding conveyor belt, and a front stop block is driven to the rotary cylinder. The front stop block is located in front of the storage platform, and the front stop block can move away from or closer to the storage platform under the drive of the rotary cylinder.

[0028] Furthermore, the sequential feeding structure above the feeding conveyor belt includes a feeding assembly located in front of the storage platform. The feeding assembly includes a baffle rod and a baffle cylinder that drives the baffle rod. The baffle rod can contact the blower motor on the blower device to prevent the blower device from moving forward with the feeding conveyor belt. The baffle rod can move away from or closer to the blower device under the action of the baffle cylinder.

[0029] The equipment also includes a recycling structure for defective air supply devices, and further includes several waste bins.

[0030] The present invention also includes a method for detecting packaging, applicable to the automatic detection packaging equipment of the above-mentioned air supply device, specifically including the following steps:

[0031] S1. Automatic feeding: The air supply devices are arranged on the feeding conveyor belt and move forward in sequence to feed the material. When an air supply device passes through the discharge assembly under the drive of the feeding conveyor belt, the baffle cylinder drives the baffle rod to push out to block the subsequent air supply devices. The air supply device that passes through the discharge assembly continues to move to the storage platform under the drive of the feeding conveyor belt and is blocked by the rear baffle. Then, the rotating cylinder drives the front baffle to rotate toward the storage platform, so that the air supply device located on the storage platform is clamped between the front baffle and the rear baffle.

[0032] S2. Automatic material handling: The robotic arm rotates, causing its end to move above the storage platform, and the clamping component on the end of the robotic arm is aligned with the axis of the air supply device. Then, the end of the robotic arm descends, causing the clamping component to move closer to the air supply device. After descending to the position, the rotary table starts, causing the clamping component and the lifting platform on one side to rotate. The second fiber optic probe connected to the lifting platform also rotates. When the second fiber optic probe rotates to align with the notch on the air supply motor, the rotary table stops rotating. The clamping cylinder drives the gripper to close and pick up the air supply device from the storage platform. Then, the robotic arm moves the air supply device towards the good product bin on the bin support.

[0033] S3. Automatic Detection: During the movement of the air supply device toward the material box, the lifting cylinder is activated, causing the lifting platform to descend relative to the clamping assembly. The energized probe and the first fiber optic probe connected to the lifting platform then approach the air supply device. When the energized probe contacts the metal tab of the air supply device, the air supply device is energized and activated. The air supply motor drives the fan blades to start rotating, and the start of the air supply motor will generate vibration. This vibration is transmitted to the vibration sensor through the gripper. The change in the vibration frequency of the air supply motor is used to determine whether the acceleration of the air supply motor is qualified. As the fan blades start to rotate, the first fiber optic probe aligned with the fan blades can determine whether the rotation speed of the fan blades is qualified. During the rotation of the fan blades, airflow is generated. If the airflow direction is correct, the airflow will cause the rotating plate to flip upward relative to the gripper, and the trigger rib on the rotating plate will enter the detection groove to trigger the photoelectric sensor. When the airflow direction is incorrect, the rotating plate cannot flip and trigger the photoelectric sensor. Therefore, it can be determined whether the airflow direction blown by the fan blades is qualified.

[0034] S4. Automatic Packing: When all the tests in S3 are passed, the robotic arm will put the air supply device into the good product bin. If any test in S3 fails, the robotic arm will put the air supply device into the waste product bin.

[0035] S5. Automatic Partition Plate Placement: After the good product bin is filled with a layer of air supply devices, the robotic arm will move its end to the top of the partition compartment. Then, the drive motor will start and drive the left and right swing arms to rotate and unfold from both sides of the lifting platform. When the two swing arms rotate to be parallel to the surface of the partition plate, the suction cups on the swing arms will be aligned with the upper surface of the partition plate. Then, the lifting cylinder will drive the lifting platform to descend, so that the lifting platform and the swing arms on it will descend, allowing the suction cups to adhere to the upper surface of the partition plate. Then, the robotic arm will lift up and bring the partition plate to the good product bin. The drive motor will start again and drive the two swing arms to retract into the lifting platform, so that the suction cups will detach from the surface of the partition plate. The partition plate will fall into the good product bin and cover the air supply devices. Then, the subsequent air supply devices can be placed on the partition plate.

[0036] S6. Cycle: Repeat steps S1 to S5 to complete the loading of the air supply device in a good product bin.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0038] 1. The air supply device is transported and packed by a robotic arm. Multiple detection components are set at the end of the robotic arm, which can detect the air supply device during the transportation process. The packing and detection strokes are carried out simultaneously, which can not only automatically complete the detection and packing of the air supply device, but also achieve high overall detection and packing efficiency due to the reasonable stroke. Furthermore, the detection components are all integrated on the robotic arm, making the overall size of the equipment smaller and effectively saving production space.

[0039] 2. An alignment component is provided, which can rotate the clamping component and each detection component at the end of the robotic arm via the rotary table before the air supply device is gripped, until the alignment component is aligned with the notch on the air supply motor. This completes the alignment of the power supply component with the metal tabs on the motor before the air supply device is gripped, which facilitates the normal operation of subsequent testing.

[0040] 3. The partition bin and partition transfer assembly enable the robotic arm to automatically transfer partitions into the bin after the first layer of air supply devices is filled, facilitating the subsequent packing of air supply devices. This allows the equipment to truly achieve automatic packing, with each packing step operated by the robotic arm. Attached Figure Description

The feeding conveyor belt 2 is used to transport the air-blowing device 3, composed of a blower motor 3.1 and a fan blade 3.2, to the main support 1. A rear stop 2.1 is also provided at the tail end of the feeding conveyor belt 2. The material box support 4 is used to place the good product material box 4.1 to be packed. The material box support 4 is provided with a slide rail 4.2. It can slide along the slide rail 4.2; the robotic arm 1.1 is connected to the main support 1, and the end of the robotic arm 1.1 is provided with a clamping assembly 5, which can clamp the air supply device 3 and transfer it into the good product bin 4.1. The clamping assembly 5 includes a clamping cylinder 5.1 and a gripper 5.2 driven by the clamping cylinder 5.1; the end of the robotic arm 1.1 is also provided with a power supply assembly 6, an acceleration detection assembly 7, a rotation speed detection assembly 8, and a wind direction detection assembly 9; The power supply component 6 includes two power probes 6.1, which contact the metal tabs 3.3 on the air supply component to supply power to the air supply component. The acceleration detection component 7 includes a vibration sensor 7.1, which is connected to the gripper 5.2. The vibration of the air supply device 3 during operation can be transmitted to the vibration sensor 7.1 through the gripper 5.2. The rotation speed detection component 8 includes a first fiber optic probe 8.1, which can be aligned with the fan blade 3.2 of the air supply device 3 to detect the rotation of the fan blade 3.2. The wind direction detection component 9 includes a rotating plate 9.1 and a photoelectric sensor 9.2, both of which are connected to the gripper 5.2. The rotating plate 9.1 is movably disposed relative to the gripper 5.2 and can rotate relative to the gripper 5.2 to trigger the photoelectric sensor 9.2.

[0056] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the main support 1 includes a control box 1.2, and the robotic arm 1.1 is located in front of the control box 1.2. The control box 1.2, the robotic arm 1.1, and all components thereon form a control connection.

[0057] And such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two material box brackets 4 and two robotic arms 1.1. The two material box brackets 4 are arranged on the left and right sides of the main bracket 1. The robotic arm 1.1 packs the good product material boxes 4.1 on the corresponding side of the material box bracket 4.

[0058] Among them, such as Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the material box support 4 is inclined, so that the slide rail 4.2 is inclined downward. When the good product material box 4.1 is placed on the material box support 4, it can automatically slide down obliquely along the slide rail 4.2. In addition, the material box support 4 is also provided with three baffle blocks 4.3. The baffle blocks 4.3 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the slide rail 4.2. The bottom baffle block 4.3 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the slide rail 4.2, and the remaining two baffle blocks 4.3 are arranged on the path of the slide rail 4.2. A baffle cylinder 4.4 is also provided below the remaining two baffle blocks 4.3, which is connected to the baffle cylinder. One of the two baffle blocks 4.3 of the cylinder 4.4 is located near the beginning of the slide rail 4.2, and the other is located in the middle of the slide rail 4.2. The baffle cylinder 4.4 can drive the baffle block 4.3 to move, so that the baffle block 4.3 rises above the slide rail 4.2 or falls below the slide rail 4.2. When the baffle block 4.3 rises above the slide rail 4.2 under the action of the baffle cylinder 4.4, the baffle block 4.3 can block the good product box 4.1 and stop it on the slide rail 4.2. When the baffle block 4.3 falls below the slide rail 4.2 under the action of the baffle cylinder 4.4, the good product box 4.1 can continue to slide along the slide rail 4.2.

[0059] During the packing process, the robotic arm 1.1 will load the air supply device 3 into the good product bin 4.1, which is stopped in the middle position of the slide rail 4.2. When the good product bin 4.1 in the middle position of the slide rail 4.2 is full of the air supply device 3, the baffle cylinder 4.4 drives the baffle block 4.3 to descend, causing the full good product bin 4.1 in the middle position to slide down to the end of the slide rail 4.2. The good product bin 4.1 that was originally empty at the beginning position slides down to the middle position. Then the baffle cylinder 4.4 drives the baffle block 4.3 to rise and block the good product bin 4.1. At this time, the robotic arm 1.1 can continue to pack the good product bin 4.1 in the middle position. The good product bin 4.1 that is full at the end of the slide rail 4.2 can be taken away by the staff, and the staff will then place the empty good product bin 4.1 at the beginning of the slide rail 4.2.

A lifting platform 11 driven by the lifting cylinder 10 is also connected to the lifting cylinder 10. The energizing component 6 and the speed detection component 8 are both connected to the lifting platform 11. The energizing component 6 and the speed detection component 8 are located above the gripper 5.2 under the support of the lifting platform 11, and the energizing component 6 and the speed detection component 8 can move closer to or further away from the gripper 5.2 under the drive of the lifting cylinder 10.

[0061] Among them, such as Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping cylinder 5.1 is connected to the end section of the robotic arm 1.1 via a rotary table 12; combined with Figure 2 As shown, the side of the air supply motor 3.1 of the air supply device 3 has a notch 3.4; combined with Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the robotic arm 1.1 is also provided with an alignment component 13. The alignment component 13 includes a second fiber optic probe 13.1 connected to the lifting platform 11. The second fiber optic probe 13.1 is used to detect the position of the notch 3.4 on the blower motor 3.1 so as to realize the position adjustment of the gripper 5.2 relative to the blower device 3, so that when the clamping component 5 clamps the blower device 3, the energizing component 6 can be aligned with the metal tab 3.3 on the blower motor 3.1.

[0062] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a rotating shaft 9.3 is provided on the gripper 5.2, and the rotating plate 9.1 is connected to the rotating shaft 9.3.

The partition plate transfer assembly 15 includes a plurality of suction cups 15.1 connected to the lifting platform 11. The suction cups 15.1 can adhere to the surface of the partition plate 14.1.

[0064] Among them, such as Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, the partition compartment 14 includes a partition bracket 14.2. Several lead screws 14.3 are mounted on the partition bracket 14.2. A support plate 14.4 is connected to the slider of each lead screw 14.3. The support plate 14.4 can slide relative to the partition bracket 14.2 along the lead screw 14.3. The partition plates 14.1 are stacked on top of the support plate 14.4. A push-pull rod 14.5 is rotatably connected to one side of the support plate 14.4. By pushing or pulling the push-pull rod 14.5, the support plate 14.4 can slide along the lead screw. One end of the push-pull rod 14.5 is connected to the support plate 14.4, and the other end of the push-pull rod 14.5 is provided with a limiting shaft 14.6. Several limiting plates 14.7 are also connected to the partition bracket 14.2. A limiting groove 14.8 is provided above the limiting plate 14.7, and both ends of the limiting shaft 14.6 can be engaged in the limiting groove 14.8. When the partition plate 14.1 on the support plate 14.4 is used up, the limiting shaft 14.6 can be manually lifted from the limiting groove 14.8, and then the push-pull rod 14.5 is pulled to move the support plate 14.4 relative to the partition bracket 14.2, so that the support plate 14.4 is away from the main bracket 1 and closer to the edge of the equipment. At this time, new partition plates 14.1 can be manually stacked on the support plate 14.4, and then the push-pull rod 14.5 is pushed to make the support plate 14.4 close to the main bracket 1 to reset. After the support plate 14.4 is reset, the limiting shaft 14.6 can be engaged back into the limiting groove 14.8 to complete the fixation of the position of the support plate 14.4.

[0065] Among them, the combination Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the partition transfer assembly 15 further includes two swing arms 15.2 symmetrically arranged on the lifting platform 11, and a drive motor 15.3 for driving the swing arms 15.2. The suction cup 15.1 is connected to the swing arms 15.2. The swing arms 15.2 are movably arranged relative to the lifting platform 11, and the swing arms 15.2 have at least a retracted state a and an extended state b relative to the lifting platform 11. The drive motor 15.3 is connected to the swing arms 15.2 through a transmission gear set 15.4. The swing arms 15.2 change state relative to the lifting platform 11 under the drive of the drive motor 15.3.

[0066] And as Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, when the swing arm 15.2 is in the retracted state a, both the left and right swing arms 15.2 are retracted onto the lifting platform 11, and the suction cups 15.1 on the left and right sides are close to each other at this time; when the swing arm 15.2 is in the extended state b, the swing arm 15.2 extends to the left and right sides of the lifting platform 11, and the suction cups 15.1 on the left and right sides are also moved away from each other by the swing arm 15.2.

[0067] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a storage platform 2.2 is provided at the tail end of the feeding conveyor belt 2, and the rear stop block 2.1 is connected to the storage platform 2.2. A rotary cylinder 2.3 is also provided on one side of the feeding conveyor belt 2, and a front stop block 2.4 is drivenly connected to the rotary cylinder 2.3. The front stop block 2.4 is located in front of the storage platform 2.2, and the front stop block 2.4 can move away from or closer to the storage platform 2.2 under the drive of the rotary cylinder 2.3.

[0068] And as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a discharge assembly 16 is also provided on the feeding conveyor belt 2. The discharge assembly 16 is located in front of the storage platform 2.2. The discharge assembly 16 includes a baffle rod 16.1 and a baffle cylinder 16.2 that drives the baffle rod 16.1. The baffle rod 16.1 can make contact with the blower motor 3.1 on the blower device 3 to prevent the blower device 3 from moving forward with the feeding conveyor belt 2. The baffle rod 16.1 can move away from or closer to the blower device 3 under the drive of the baffle cylinder 16.2.

[0069] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment also includes two waste bins 17, which are disposed on both sides of the partition bin 14.

[0070] This embodiment also includes a method for detecting packaging, applicable to the automatic detection and packaging equipment of the aforementioned air supply device, specifically including the following steps:

[0071] S1. Automatic feeding: The air supply devices 3 are arranged on the feeding conveyor belt 2 and move forward in sequence to feed the material. When an air supply device 3 passes through the discharge assembly 16 under the drive of the feeding conveyor belt 2, the baffle cylinder 16.2 drives the baffle rod 16.1 to push out to block the subsequent air supply device 3. The air supply device 3 that passes through the discharge assembly 16 continues to move to the storage platform 2.2 under the drive of the feeding conveyor belt 2 and is blocked by the rear baffle block 2.1. Then, the rotating cylinder drives the front baffle block 2.4 to rotate toward the storage platform 2.2, so that the air supply device 3 located on the storage platform 2.2 is clamped between the front baffle block 2.4 and the rear baffle block 2.1.

[0072] S2. Automatic material handling: The robotic arm 1.1 rotates, causing its end to move above the storage platform 2.2, and the clamping component 5 on the end of the robotic arm 1.1 is aligned with the axis of the air supply device 3. Then, the end of the robotic arm 1.1 descends, causing the clamping component 5 to move closer to the air supply device 3. After descending to the designated position, the rotary table 12 starts, causing the clamping component 5 and the lifting platform 11 on one side to rotate. The second fiber optic probe 13.1 connected to the lifting platform 11 also rotates accordingly. When the second fiber optic probe 13.1 rotates to align with the notch 3.4 on the air supply motor 3.1, the rotary table 12 stops rotating. The clamping cylinder 5.1 drives the gripper 5.2 to close and pick up the air supply device 3 from the storage platform 2.2. Then, the robotic arm 1.1 moves with the air supply device 3 towards the good product bin 4.1 on the bin support 4.

[0073] S3. Automatic Detection: During the movement of the air supply device 3 toward the material bin, the lifting cylinder 10 is activated, causing the lifting platform 11 to descend relative to the clamping assembly 5. The energized probe 6.1 and the first fiber optic probe 8.1 connected to the lifting platform 11 then approach the air supply device 3. When the energized probe 6.1 contacts the metal tab 3.3 of the air supply device 3, the air supply device 3 is energized and activated. The air supply motor 3.1 drives the fan blades 3.2 to rotate, and the activation of the air supply motor 3.1 generates vibration. This vibration is transmitted to the vibration sensor 7.1 through the gripper 5.2. The change in the vibration frequency of the air supply motor 3.1 is used to determine the loading of the air supply motor 3.1. To determine if the speed is within acceptable limits, the fan blade 3.2 begins to rotate. The first fiber optic probe 8.1, aligned with the fan blade 3.2, can judge whether the rotation speed of the fan blade 3.2 is within acceptable limits by observing its rotation. During the rotation of the fan blade 3.2, airflow is generated. If the wind direction is correct, the wind will cause the rotating plate 9.1 to flip upward relative to the gripper 5.2, causing the trigger rib 9.4 on the rotating plate 9.1 to enter the detection groove 9.5, thereby triggering the photoelectric sensor 9.2. When the wind direction is incorrect, the rotating plate 9.1 cannot flip and trigger the photoelectric sensor 9.2. Therefore, it can be determined whether the wind direction blown by the fan blade 3.2 is within acceptable limits.

[0074] S4. Automatic packing: When all the tests in S3 are passed, the robotic arm 1.1 will put the air supply device 3 into the good product bin 4.1. If any test in S3 fails, the robotic arm 1.1 will put the air supply device 3 into the waste product bin 17.

[0075] S5. Automatic placement of partition plate 14.1: After the good product bin 4.1 is filled with a layer of air supply device 3, the robotic arm 1.1 will move its end to above the partition bin 14. Then, the drive motor 15.3 will start and drive the left and right swing arms 15.2 to rotate and unfold from both sides of the lifting platform 11. When the two swing arms 15.2 rotate to be parallel to the surface of the partition plate 14.1, the suction cups 15.1 on the swing arms 15.2 will be aligned with the upper surface of the partition plate 14.1. Then, the lifting cylinder 10 will drive the lifting platform 11 to descend, so that the lifting platform 11 and its... The swing arm 15.2 descends so that the suction cup 15.1 can adhere to the upper surface of the partition plate 14.1. Then, the robotic arm 1.1 lifts up and brings the partition plate 14.1 to the good product bin 4.1. The drive motor 15.3 starts again to drive the two swing arms 15.2 back into the lifting platform 11, so that the suction cup 15.1 detaches from the surface of the partition plate 14.1. The partition plate 14.1 falls into the good product bin 4.1 and covers the top of the air supply device 3. Then, the subsequent air supply device 3 can be placed on the partition plate 14.1.

[0076] S6. Cycle: Repeat steps S1 to S5 to complete the loading of a good product material bin 4.1 into the air supply device 3.

[0077] The advantages of this embodiment are: the equipment and method described in this embodiment can realize automatic detection and automatic packaging of the air supply device, and the equipment is compact and reasonable, so that the overall size of the equipment is also small.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

Automatic feeding: The air supply devices (3) are arranged on the feeding conveyor belt (2) and move forward in sequence to feed the material. When an air supply device (3) passes through the discharge assembly (16) under the drive of the feeding conveyor belt (2), the baffle cylinder (16.2) drives the baffle rod (16.1) to push out to block the subsequent air supply device (3). The air supply device (3) that passes through the discharge assembly (16) continues to move to the storage platform (2.2) under the drive of the feeding conveyor belt (2) and is blocked by the rear baffle (2.1). Then the rotating cylinder drives the front baffle (2.4) to rotate toward the storage platform (2.2), so that the air supply device (3) located on the storage platform (2.2) is clamped between the front baffle (2.4) and the rear baffle (2.1). S2, Automatic Material Handling: The robotic arm (1.1) rotates, causing its end to move above the storage platform (2.2), and the clamping assembly (5) on the end of the robotic arm (1.1) aligns with the axial direction of the air supply device (3).

After descending to the designated position, the rotary table (12) starts, causing the clamping assembly (5) and the lifting platform (11) on one side to rotate. The second fiber optic probe (13.1) on (11) also rotates. When the second fiber optic probe (13.1) rotates to align with the notch (3.4) on the blower motor (3.1), the rotary table (12) stops rotating. The clamping cylinder (5.1) drives the gripper (5.2) to close and pick up the blower device (3) from the storage table (2.2).
