Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electric meter detection, and more specifically, relates to a sorting device used in an electric meter detection production line. Background Art

[0002] With the installation and popularization of smart meters, the demand for smart meters is increasing. From production to installation, smart meters need to go through multiple verification processes. Only after passing the verification can they be put into use. However, manual inspection is difficult to meet the verification needs. The use of the meter automatic verification system has improved the verification efficiency and saved manpower. The meter is placed on a tray in the inspection line. The tray contains multiple meters and enters different inspection processes for verification along the conveyor line.

[0003] After the test is completed, qualified meters will be labeled with special qualified labels, and then the qualified meters and unqualified meters on the pallet will be sorted and packed by the sorting device. However, when sorting qualified and unqualified products, the existing sorting device needs to sort out the qualified products separately first, and then sort out the unqualified products separately. The two are not sorted out at the same time, and this sorting method will slow down the overall work efficiency of the meter testing line. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a sorting device for an electric meter detection production line, aiming to realize simultaneous sorting of qualified electric meters and unqualified electric meters on a tray.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a sorting device for an electric meter detection assembly line, comprising:

[0006] Sorting bin;

[0007] An identification component, arranged on the sorting bin, for identifying each electric meter on a tray entering the sorting bin;

[0008] a plurality of grabbing components, arranged on the sorting bin and corresponding to each of the electric meters, for grabbing the electric meters identified as qualified to a first height and the electric meters identified as unqualified to a second height; and

[0009] Two sets of material moving mechanisms are respectively arranged at a first height position and a second height position on the sorting bin, and are respectively used to move the electric meters located at the first height and the electric meters located at the second height out of the sorting bin.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the grabbing component includes:

[0011] A lifting cylinder is vertically fixed on the sorting bin;

[0012] A grabbing piece is arranged at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder and is used for grabbing the electric meter.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the grabbing member includes:

[0014] Two connecting seats, fixedly arranged at the telescopic ends of the lifting cylinder;

[0015] Two clamping claws are horizontally slidably arranged on the connecting seat and correspond one to one with the two connecting seats;

[0016] Two first elastic members are arranged between the connecting seat and the clamping jaws, and correspond to the two clamping jaws one by one, and are used to push the two clamping jaws closer to each other;

[0017] When the lifting cylinder descends, the two clamping jaws can respectively abut against two sides of the electric meter and be spread apart, so that the electric meter is clamped between the two clamping jaws.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the material moving mechanism includes:

[0019] A material transfer plate is horizontally slidably arranged on the sorting bin, and a notch is provided on the material transfer plate for the electric meter to pass through when it is raised;

[0020] A plurality of positioning clamps, arranged on the material shifting plate, for clamping the electric meter passing through the notch;

[0021] Among them, the clamping force of the positioning clamp is greater than the clamping force of the grabbing member. After the grabbing member grabs the electric meter and passes through the notch, the positioning clamp simultaneously clamps the electric meter so that the lifting cylinder continues to rise and the grabbing member is detached from the electric meter.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the positioning clamp includes:

[0023] A positioning plate, fixedly arranged on the material moving plate;

[0024] A clamping plate, slidably disposed on the material moving plate;

[0025] A second elastic member is disposed between the material moving plate and the clamping plate, and is used to push the clamping plate to move toward the positioning plate, so that the electric meter is clamped between the positioning plate and the clamping plate;

[0026] A control component is arranged on the material transfer plate and is used for controlling the opening of the positioning plate and the clamping plate to release the electric meter or the closing of the positioning plate and the clamping plate to clamp the electric meter.

[0027] In a possible implementation, the control assembly includes a support plate rotatably disposed on the material moving plate, and the support plate extends toward the notch;

[0028] Wherein, the support plate is provided with a push inclined surface, and the push inclined surface faces the clamping plate;

[0029] When the support plate rotates upward from a horizontal state, the push inclined surface abuts against the bottom of the clamping plate, so that the clamping plate moves along the push inclined surface and gradually moves away from the positioning plate, so that the clamping plate releases the electric meter;

[0030] When the support plate rotates to a horizontal state, the clamping plate and the push inclined surface are separated, so that the second elastic member pushes the clamping plate to clamp the electric meter.

[0031] In a possible implementation, when the support plate rotates to an upwardly inclined position, the notch is opened so that the grabbing member grabs the electric meter and passes upward through the notch;

[0032] When the support plate is rotated to a horizontal position, the notch is closed so that the electric meter can be placed on the support plate.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the control component further includes a drive motor fixedly disposed on the material moving plate, and an output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the material supporting plate.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the material moving mechanism further includes:

[0035] An electric slide rail, horizontally fixed on the sorting bin;

[0036] A slider, fixedly arranged on the material transfer plate and slidably connected to the electric slide rail;

[0037] The electric slide rail drives the slider to slide, so that the slider drives the material moving plate to enter and exit the sorting bin in a horizontal direction.

[0038] In a possible implementation, the identification component includes:

[0039] A camera, fixedly arranged on the sorting bin, for collecting an image of each of the electric meters and sending an image signal;

[0040] The processor is electrically connected to the camera, the grabbing assembly and the material moving mechanism, and is used to receive the image signal and determine whether each of the electric meters is qualified according to the image signal, so as to control the grabbing assembly to grab the qualified electric meters to the first height and the unqualified electric meters to the second height, and control the material moving mechanism to move each of the electric meters out of the sorting bin.

[0041] The present invention provides a sorting device for an electric meter detection assembly line. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect is that during the working process, when the electric meter on the pallet enters the sorting bin along the conveyor line, the appearance image of the electric meter at each position on the pallet is obtained by the identification component, and then the position of the electric meter with a qualified mark is obtained by comparison, so as to distinguish whether the electric meter at each position is qualified. If it is a qualified electric meter, the grabbing component at the corresponding position grabs it to the material transfer mechanism at the first height. At the same time, if it is an unqualified electric meter, the grabbing component at the corresponding position grabs it to the material transfer mechanism at the second height. Then, the two sets of material transfer mechanisms located at the first height position and the second height position respectively move the qualified electric meter and the unqualified electric meter out of the sorting bin, thereby completing the sorting process. This synchronous sorting method greatly improves the overall working efficiency of the electric meter detection assembly line, avoids the time waste caused by sorting in sequence, and makes the entire sorting process smoother and more efficient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] It should be further explained that the drawings and implementation modes of the present invention mainly describe the concept of the present invention. On the basis of this concept, the specific forms and settings of some connection relationships, positional relationships, power mechanisms, power supply systems, hydraulic systems and control systems may not be fully described. However, on the premise that those skilled in the art understand the concept of the present invention, those skilled in the art can implement the above-mentioned specific forms and settings in a well-known manner.

[0051] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" may include both "above" and "below". The device may also be positioned in other different ways, and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0052] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more, and "several" means one or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0053] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Now, a sorting device for an electric meter detection assembly line provided by the present invention is described. A sorting device for an electric meter detection assembly line comprises a sorting bin 1, an identification component, a plurality of grabbing components and two sets of material transfer mechanisms.

[0054] Among them, the identification component is arranged on the sorting bin 1, and is used to identify each electric meter on the tray entering the sorting bin 1. A plurality of grabbing components are arranged on the sorting bin 1, and correspond to each electric meter one by one, and are used to grab the electric meters identified as qualified to the first height, and the electric meters identified as unqualified to the second height. Two sets of material moving mechanisms are respectively arranged at the first height position and the second height position on the sorting bin 1, and are respectively used to move the electric meters at the first height and the electric meters at the second height out of the sorting bin 1.

[0055] Specifically, during the working process, when the electric meter on the tray enters the sorting bin 1 along the conveyor line, the electric meter at each position on the tray is identified by the identification component, so as to distinguish whether the electric meter at each position on the tray is qualified. If it is a qualified electric meter, the grabbing component at the corresponding position grabs it to the material transfer mechanism at the first height. At the same time, if it is an unqualified electric meter, the grabbing component at the corresponding position grabs it to the material transfer mechanism at the second height, thereby realizing the preliminary classification of qualified and unqualified electric meters.

[0056] Then, the two groups of material moving mechanisms located at the first height position and the second height position respectively move the qualified meters and the unqualified meters out of the sorting bin 1, thereby realizing the simultaneous sorting of qualified meters and unqualified meters. The entire sorting process is efficient and orderly, which greatly improves the overall work efficiency of the meter detection line. Compared with the existing sequential sorting method, it reduces the waste of time and improves the continuity of the detection line.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The grabbing assembly includes a lifting cylinder 31 and a grabbing member 32. The lifting cylinder 31 is vertically fixed on the sorting bin 1 and corresponds to the electric meter on the tray. The grabbing member 32 is arranged at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 31 and is used to grab the electric meter.

[0058] Specifically, the lifting cylinder 31 drives the grabbing member 32 to descend, and the grabbing member 32 reaches the position of the electric meter to perform the grabbing operation, and then lifts the electric meter to a specified height to prepare for the subsequent material transfer operation. This structure is simple and effectively realizes the grabbing and lifting actions of the electric meter, ensuring the smooth progress of the sorting operation.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The grabbing member 32 includes two connecting seats 321, two clamping claws 322 and two first elastic members 323. The two connecting seats 321 are symmetrically arranged at the telescopic ends of the lifting cylinder 31, and the two connecting seats 321 are fixedly connected to the lifting cylinder 31. The two clamping claws 322 are horizontally slidably arranged on the connecting seats 321, and correspond to the two connecting seats 321 one by one. The two first elastic members 323 are arranged between the connecting seats 321 and the clamping claws 322, and correspond to the two clamping claws 322 one by one, and are used to push the two clamping claws 322 to approach each other.

[0060] As an alternative embodiment, the first elastic member 323 can be an elastic object such as an elastic rope, a spring, etc., and when connected between the connecting seat 321 and the clamping jaw 322, it can provide a pulling force to the clamping jaw 322 so that the clamping jaw 322 is close to the connecting seat 321.

[0061] When the lifting cylinder 31 descends, the two clamping jaws 322 can respectively abut against the two sides of the electric meter and be stretched open by the electric meter, so that the two clamping jaws 322 clamp the outer side of the electric meter. The side of the clamping jaw 322 facing the electric meter is provided with a guiding inclined surface, so that the two clamping jaws 322 can clamp the electric meter in the middle more easily, making it convenient for the electric meter to enter between the two clamping jaws 322.

[0062] Specifically, when the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 31 descends, the two clamps 322 can respectively rest on the two sides of the electric meter. As the electric meter continues to descend, the two clamps 322 will be stretched open, and at this time, the clamps 322 will open to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 323. When the electric meter is completely located between the two clamps 322, the clamps 322 will clamp the electric meter under the action of the first elastic member 323. In actual work, this structure can meet the clamping requirements of electric meters of different sizes, ensure the stability and reliability of the electric meter during the grasping process, and improve the versatility of the grasping component and the adaptability of the entire sorting device.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The material moving mechanism includes a material moving plate 41 and a plurality of positioning clamps 42. The material moving plate 41 is horizontally slidably arranged on the sorting bin 1, and a notch 411 is provided on the material moving plate 41 for the electric meter to pass through when it is raised. A plurality of positioning clamps 42 are arranged on the material moving plate 41, and are used to clamp the electric meter passing through the notch 411. The clamping force of the positioning clamp 42 is greater than the clamping force of the grabbing member 32. After the grabbing member 32 grabs the electric meter and passes through the notch, the positioning clamp 42 clamps the electric meter at the same time, so that the lifting cylinder 31 continues to rise, and the grabbing member 32 is detached from the electric meter.

[0064] It should be understood that the grabbing member 32 and the positioning clamping member 42 are clamped on different sides of the electric meter respectively, so as to avoid mutual interference when the two clamp the electric meter at the same time.

[0065] Specifically, during operation, when the grabbing assembly grabs and lifts the electric meter upward, the electric meter can smoothly pass through the notch 411 and enter the area above the material shifting plate 41. After the grabbing member 32 grabs the electric meter and passes through the notch 411, the positioning clamp 42 clamps the electric meter at the same time. When the lifting cylinder 31 continues to rise, since the clamping force of the positioning clamp 42 is greater than the clamping force of the grabbing member 32, the electric meter is fixed by the positioning clamp 42, and the grabbing member 32 is detached from the electric meter along with the lifting cylinder 31, thereby realizing the smooth transfer of the electric meter from the grabbing member 32 to the positioning clamp 42.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The positioning clamping member 42 includes a positioning plate 421, a clamping plate 422, a second elastic member 423 and a control component. The positioning plate 421 is fixedly arranged on the material moving plate 41. The clamping plate 422 is slidably arranged on the material moving plate 41. The second elastic member 423 is arranged between the material moving plate 41 and the clamping plate 422, and is used to push the clamping plate 422 to move toward the direction close to the positioning plate 421, so that the electric meter is clamped between the positioning plate 421 and the clamping plate 422. The control component is arranged on the material moving plate 41, and is used to control the opening of the positioning plate 421 and the clamping plate 422 to release the electric meter or close the opening of the positioning plate 421 and the clamping plate 422 to clamp the electric meter.

[0067] Specifically, a slide bar is fixedly provided on the clamping plate 422, and a slide sleeve is fixedly provided on the material moving plate 41, and the slide bar and the slide sleeve are slidably connected. One end of the second elastic member 423 is fixed to the clamping plate 422, and the other end of the second elastic member 423 is fixed to the slide sleeve. As an alternative embodiment, the second elastic member 423 can be an elastic object such as an elastic rope or a spring.

[0068] During operation, when the lifting cylinder 31 descends and grabs the electric meter through the grabbing member 32, the control component controls the clamping plate 422 to be in an open state, so that when the electric meter is lifted by the grabbing member 32 and passes through the notch 411, the clamping plate 422 will not hinder the movement of the electric meter. When the electric meter completely passes through the notch 411, the control component controls the clamping plate 422 to close in the direction of approaching the positioning plate 421, so as to stably clamp the electric meter together with the positioning plate 421.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control assembly includes a support plate 43 rotatably disposed on the material moving plate 41, and the support plate 43 extends toward the notch 411. The rotation axis direction of the support plate 43 is the same as the moving direction of the clamping plate 422. The support plate 43 is provided with a push inclined surface 431, which faces the clamping plate 422, and the push inclined surface 431 and the clamping plate 422 correspond to each other.

[0070] Specifically, when the supporting plate 43 rotates, the pushing inclined surface 431 cooperates with the clamping plate 422 to achieve control over the clamping and release of the electric meter. When the supporting plate 43 rotates upward from a horizontal state, the pushing inclined surface 431 can be against the bottom of the clamping plate 422, so that the clamping plate 422 moves along the pushing inclined surface 431 and gradually moves away from the positioning plate 421, thereby achieving the release of the electric meter. This action is performed when the packing robot grabs and packs the electric meter after the moving plate 41 moves the electric meter out of the sorting bin 1. At this time, the electric meter is released by the clamping plate 422, and the electric meter is easier to remove from the moving plate 41. At the same time, the supporting plate 43 can also push the electric meter upward, which exposes a larger surface for clamping, making the packing robot more stable when grabbing and packing the electric meter.

[0071] When the support plate 43 rotates to a horizontal state, the clamping plate 422 and the push inclined surface 431 are separated. At this time, the second elastic member 423 pushes the clamping plate 422 to clamp the electric meter, thereby achieving the stability of the electric meter on the moving plate 41. This action is performed after the electric meter passes through the notch 411. As the electric meter completely passes through the notch 411, the lifting cylinder 31 will drive the electric meter to drop a certain height. During the descent of the electric meter, the support plate 43 will gradually rotate downward to a horizontal state, and the clamping plate 422 will also close under the drive of the support plate 43, thereby clamping the electric meter. When the support plate 43 rotates to a completely horizontal state, the clamping plate 422 loses the restriction of the support plate 43 and is completely clamped on the electric meter, which enables the grabbing member 32 to detach from the electric meter when the lifting cylinder 31 is raised.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the supporting plate 43 rotates to an upwardly inclined position, the notch 411 is opened so that the grabbing member 32 grabs the electric meter and passes upward through the notch 411. When the supporting plate 43 rotates to a horizontal position, the notch 411 is closed so that the electric meter can be placed on the supporting plate 43. The electric meter is clamped by the clamping plate 422 and supported by the supporting plate 43, so that the electric meter can remain stable during the process of being moved out of the sorting bin 1 with the moving plate 41.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The control assembly also includes a drive motor 44 fixedly arranged on the material moving plate 41, and the output end of the drive motor 44 is fixedly connected to the material support plate 43. The drive motor 44 accurately controls the rotation of the material support plate 43. When the notch 411 needs to be opened, the drive motor 44 drives the material support plate 43 to rotate upward to a suitable angle, so that the grabber 32 can smoothly drive the electric meter through the notch 411. When the electric meter needs to be clamped, the drive motor 44 can rotate the material support plate 43 to a horizontal position, so that the positioning clamp 42 can clamp the electric meter.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The material transfer mechanism further includes an electric slide rail 45 and a slider 46. The electric slide rail 45 is horizontally fixed on the sorting bin 1. The slider 46 is fixed on the material transfer plate 41 and is slidably connected to the electric slide rail 45. The electric slide rail 45 drives the slider 46 to slide, so that the slider 46 drives the material transfer plate 41 to enter and exit the sorting bin 1 in the horizontal direction.

[0075] The electric slide rail 45 provides a stable limiting track and sufficient power support for the horizontal movement of the material transfer plate 41, so that when the electric slide rail 45 drives the slider 46 to slide, the slider 46 can drive the material transfer plate 41 to enter and exit the sorting bin 1 in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing the automation and efficiency of the entire sorting process, improving the sorting and transportation efficiency of the electric meter, and further improving the overall work efficiency of the electric meter detection assembly line.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The recognition component includes a camera 21 and a processor 22. The camera 21 is fixedly arranged on the sorting bin 1, and is used to collect the image of each electric meter and send an image signal. The processor 22 is electrically connected to the camera 21, the grabbing component and the material moving mechanism at the same time, and is used to receive the image signal, and judge whether each electric meter is qualified according to the image signal, so as to control the grabbing component to grab the qualified electric meter to the first height, the unqualified electric meter to the second height, and control the material moving mechanism to move each electric meter out of the sorting bin 1.

[0077] The camera 21 is arranged inside the sorting bin 1, and can accurately and comprehensively collect the image of each electric meter, and timely send the image signal to the processor 22. The processor 22 is electrically connected to the camera 21, the grabbing assembly and the material transfer mechanism, and plays a core control and coordination role. After receiving the image signal, the processor 22 uses the image processing and analysis algorithm to determine whether the electric meter at each position on the pallet is qualified according to the image signal.

[0078] Then, according to the judgment result, the processor 22 controls the grabbing assembly at the corresponding position to grab qualified electric meters to the first height and unqualified electric meters to the second height. After the electric meters are transferred to the material transfer plate 41, the material transfer plate 41 is controlled to move each electric meter out of the sorting bin.

[0079] In summary, the present invention provides a sorting device for an electric meter detection assembly line. Compared with the prior art, during the working process, when the tray carrying the electric meter enters the sorting bin 1 along the conveyor line, the appearance image of the electric meter at each position on the tray is collected by the identification component, and then the position of the electric meter with the qualified mark is determined by comparative analysis, so as to judge whether the electric meter at each position on the tray is qualified. If the electric meter is qualified, the grabbing component at the corresponding position will grab the electric meter onto the material transfer plate 41 at the first height. At the same time, if the electric meter is unqualified, the grabbing component at the corresponding position will grab it onto the material transfer plate 41 at the second height. Finally, the two groups of material transfer plates 41 at the first height position and the second height position respectively transfer the qualified electric meter and the unqualified electric meter out of the sorting bin 1, thus completing the entire sorting process. This overall design makes the entire sorting process efficient and orderly, greatly improves the overall work efficiency of the electric meter detection assembly line, reduces the waste of time compared to the existing sorting method, and improves the continuity of the assembly line.

[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
