Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of counting mechanisms, and particularly to a counting mechanism for a sole stacking device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of soles, a stacking device is required to grasp and stack them. Currently, the main stacking device used is a stacking manipulator. In order to ensure the stacking effect, a counting mechanism is also required to count the soles before stacking to ensure that there are no omissions or repeated counting during the stacking process, thereby improving production efficiency. Currently, the main counting sensor used is a counting sensor.

[0003] However, when the existing counting mechanism for a sole stacking device is in use, it is easily affected by dust and other impurities as well as external light. At the same time, it is also interfered by color similarity and texture similarity. When the color of the sole is similar to the color of the background or other objects, it may be difficult for the camera or algorithm to distinguish, resulting in misjudgment. If the texture of the sole is similar to the texture of other objects or the background, the vision sensor may not be able to accurately identify it, which will also affect the accuracy of the counting result; during the counting process, when the temperature of the counting sensor is relatively high, it will also affect the accuracy of the counting result, and it is not convenient to detect the defects on the surface of the sole, which will affect the counting effect.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] The counting mechanism for the sole stacking device, by setting up a moving mechanism, a telescopic mechanism, etc., when it is necessary to stack soles, the adsorption module is moved above the sole by the stacking manipulator. Then, the adsorption module is driven to move downward. When the second fixed rod abuts against the top of the conveyor belt, when the adsorption module continues to move downward, it can drive the mounting plate to move downward through the bevel U-shaped frame. At the same time, the third T-shaped guide rod is driven to move downward by the support block, and the fourth spring is compressed. Moreover, when the mounting plate moves downward, it can drive the push pin to slide downward along the third inclined groove through the first slider. At this time, the first slider can be driven to slide along the guide rail. At the same time, the first mounting block is driven to move through the second T-shaped guide rod, and the counting sensor is driven to move through the connecting rod. At the same time, the connecting rod can slide along the first inclined groove, the horizontal groove and the second inclined groove, so that the counting sensor can move along a specific track. When the push pin slides downward along the vertical groove, the suction head can be brought into contact with the sole and adsorb it. After the adsorption is completed, the adsorption module and the sole are driven to move upward by the stacking manipulator. At this time, the fourth spring gradually returns to its original position, so that the second fixed rod can slide upward along the vertical groove and the third inclined groove, thereby driving the first slider to move and reset along the guide rail. At the same time, the connecting rod slides along the second inclined groove, the horizontal groove and the first inclined groove. When the conical cover abuts against the side wall of the sole and slides to the top of the sole, the conical cover moves upward, and at the same time, the second spring is compressed. When the conical cover moves upward, the identification plate can be driven to move upward through the lifting module. At this time, within the sensing range, it can be detected by the lens for counting. When the conical cover passes over the sole, the conical cover can move downward and reset under the action of the second spring, and the mounting plate can move downward and reset under the action of the fourth spring, and the identification plate is driven to move downward through the lifting module. At this time, it exceeds the sensing distance of the lens and no longer performs counting processing. Thus, during the movement of the counting sensor, the soles adsorbed on the suction head can be counted sequentially. Setting the lens inside the conical cover can avoid the influence of external dust and light, and can also avoid interference from color similarity and texture similarity, ensuring the accuracy of counting.

[0017] The counting mechanism for the sole stacking device, by setting up a counting component, etc., when counting, when the conical cover moves upward, the fixed cover is driven to move by the first L-shaped block. When the inclined surface abuts against the side wall of the fixed block, the triangular block retracts into the fixed cover. At the same time, the third spring is compressed. When the triangular block passes over the fixed block, the triangular block can protrude outward under the action of the third spring. When the conical cover moves downward, the fixed cover is driven to move downward synchronously by the first L-shaped block, so that the plane abuts against the side wall of the fixed block, thereby being able to push the rotating rod to rotate and drive the pointer to rotate. Each time a count is made, the rotating rod can rotate a certain angle, so that the pointer indicates the mark on the ring, and the mark indicated by the pointer is detected by the first vision sensor, and then the number of each stack can be determined and compared with the counting result of the counting sensor, which can achieve double counting and make the counting result more accurate and reliable.

[0018] The counting mechanism for the sole stacking device, by setting up a liquid supply mechanism, etc., when adsorbing the sole, when the first moving block disengages from the stop rod, the first moving block can move in the direction close to the annular cover under the action of the first spring. At the same time, the second moving block is driven into the heat preservation box through the connecting plate, so that the coolant temporarily stored in the heat preservation box can be squeezed. The first one-way valve opens and the second one-way valve closes. At this time, the coolant in the heat preservation box can enter the annular cover through the liquid supply pipe. At this time, the counting sensor can be cooled, so as to ensure the accuracy of counting. After the counting is completed, the first moving block can be made to abut against the stop rod, thereby pushing the first moving block to move away from the annular cover, and the first spring is compressed. At the same time, the first one-way valve closes and the second one-way valve opens. At this time, the second moving block can be driven to move away from the heat preservation box through the connecting plate. At the same time, the first one-way valve closes and the second one-way valve opens. At this time, the coolant in the annular cover can be pumped back into the heat preservation box through the liquid return pipe for cooling, ensuring the cooling effect of the counting sensor in the subsequent process.

[0019] For the detection mechanism of the sole stacking device, etc., when the push pin 604 slides downward along the third inclined groove 602, it can push the first slider 206 to move along the guide rail 205. At the same time, the rotating plate 904 is driven to move through the connecting frame 901 and the second mounting block 902. At this time, the second vision sensor 905 can detect the top of the sole. After the suction head 104 adsorbs the sole, the electromagnet 1008 is energized. After the electromagnet 1008 is energized, it attracts the iron block 1007, causing the rack 1005 to move. At the same time, the fifth spring 1006 is compressed. When the rack 1005 moves, it can drive the gear 1001 to rotate and drive the rotating plate 904 to flip through the rotating shaft 903. When the adsorption module 103 moves upward, it pushes the push pin 604 to move upward along the third inclined groove 602. At this time, it can push the first slider 206 to move and reset along the guide rail 205. At the same time, it can drive the rotating plate 904 to move through the connecting frame 901 and the second mounting block 902. At this time, the second vision sensor 905 can detect the bottom of the sole, so as to facilitate the detection of defective soles and ensure the counting effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When the pushing pin 604 slides downward along the vertical chute 603, the suction head 104 can be attached to the sole of the shoe and adsorb. After the adsorption is completed, the palletizing robot 102 drives the adsorption module 103 and the sole to move upward. At this time, the first slider 206 moves along the guide rail 205 to reset, and at the same time, the connecting rod 209 slides along the second inclined chute 210, the horizontal chute 202, and the first inclined chute 203, driving the counting sensor 11 to return along the original path.

[0041] The pushing mechanism includes a second L-shaped plate 601, and the second L-shaped plate 601 is connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 204 through a reset mechanism. A second chute is provided on the side wall of the second L-shaped plate 601, and the second chute includes a third inclined chute 602 and a vertical chute 603 connected end to end. A pushing pin 604 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first slider 206, and the pushing pin 604 is inserted into the second chute. A second fixing rod 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second L-shaped plate 601. When the adsorption module 103 continues to move downward, it can drive the mounting plate 204 to move downward through the hypotenuse U-shaped frame 201. When the mounting plate 204 moves downward, it can drive the pushing pin 604 to slide downward along the third inclined chute 602 through the first slider 206.

[0042] The reset mechanism includes a support block 701 fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 204, and two symmetrically arranged third T-shaped guide rods 702 are fixedly connected to the top of the support block 701. A second L-shaped block 703 is sleeved on the side wall of the third T-shaped guide rod 702. The second L-shaped block 703 is fixed to the side wall of the second L-shaped plate 601, and a fourth spring 704 is sleeved on the side wall of each third T-shaped guide rod 702. When the second fixing rod 605 abuts against the top of the conveyor belt, when the adsorption module 103 continues to move downward, it can drive the mounting plate 204 to move downward through the hypotenuse U-shaped frame 201. At the same time, it drives the third T-shaped guide rod 702 to move downward through the support block 701, and the fourth spring 704 is compressed.

[0043] The detection mechanism includes a connecting frame 901 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first slider 206, and a second mounting block 902 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting frame 901. A rotating plate 904 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the second mounting block 902 through a flipping mechanism, and a plurality of second vision sensors 905 arranged in an array are fixedly inserted into the top of the rotating plate 904. When the pushing pin 604 slides downward along the third inclined chute 602, it can push the first slider 206 to move along the guide rail 205. At the same time, it drives the rotating plate 904 to move through the connecting frame 901 and the second mounting block 902. At this time, the second vision sensors 905 can detect the top of the shoe sole. After the suction head 104 adsorbs the shoe sole, the rotating plate 904 is flipped through the flipping mechanism. When the adsorption module 103 moves upward, the pushing pin 604 can move upward along the third inclined chute 602. At this time, it can push the first slider 206 to move and reset along the guide rail 205. At the same time, it can drive the rotating plate 904 to move through the connecting frame 901 and the second mounting block 902. At this time, the bottom of the shoe sole can be detected through the second vision sensors 905, so as to facilitate the detection of defective shoe soles and ensure the counting effect.

[0044] The flipping mechanism includes a rotating shaft 903 rotatably connected to the side wall of the second mounting block 902, and a rotating plate 904 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 903. A gear 1001 is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating shaft 903, and two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks 1002 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the second mounting block 902. Two symmetrically arranged guide rods 1003 are fixedly connected to the opposite side walls of the two connecting blocks 1002. A second slider 1004 is sleeved on the side wall of each guide rod 1003. A rack 1005 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second slider 1004, and the rack 1005 is meshed with the gear 1001. A fifth spring 1006 is sleeved on the side wall of each guide rod 1003. An electromagnet 1008 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block 1002, and an iron block 1007 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rack 1005. When the electromagnet 1008 is energized, the electromagnet 1008 attracts the iron block 1007 after being energized, causing the rack 1005 to move. At the same time, the fifth spring 1006 is compressed. When the rack 1005 moves, it can drive the gear 1001 to rotate, and drive the rotating plate 904 to flip through the rotating shaft 903.

[0045] Working principle: When in use, when it is necessary to stack the soles, the stacking manipulator 102 moves the adsorption module 103 above the sole. Then, it drives the adsorption module 103 to move downward. When the second fixing rod 605 abuts against the top of the conveyor belt, when the adsorption module 103 continues to move downward, it can drive the mounting plate 204 to move downward through the beveled U-shaped frame 201. At the same time, it drives the third T-shaped guide rod 702 to move downward through the support block 701, and the fourth spring 704 is compressed. And when the mounting plate 204 moves downward, it can drive the push pin 604 to slide downward along the third inclined groove 602 through the first slider 206. At this time, it can drive the first slider 206 to slide along the guide rail 205, and drive the first mounting block 208 to move through the second T-shaped guide rod 207, and drive the counting sensor 11 to move through the connecting rod 209. At the same time, the connecting rod 209 can slide along the first inclined groove 203, the horizontal groove 202 and the second inclined groove 210, so that the counting sensor 11 can move along a specific track. When the push pin 604 slides downward along the vertical groove 603, the suction head 104 can be attached to the sole and adsorb it.

[0046] At the same time, when the first slider 206 moves, it drives the rotating plate 904 to move through the connecting frame 901 and the second mounting block 902. At this time, the second vision sensor 905 can detect the top of the sole.

[0047] After the adsorption is completed, the stacking manipulator 102 drives the adsorption module 103 and the sole to move upward. At this time, the fourth spring 704 gradually resets, enabling the second fixed rod 605 to slide upward along the vertical groove 603 and the third inclined groove 602, thereby pushing the first slider 206 to move and reset along the guide rail 205. At the same time, the connecting rod 209 slides along the second inclined groove 210, the horizontal groove 202, and the first inclined groove 203.

[0048] Energize the electromagnet 1008. After the electromagnet 1008 is energized, it attracts the iron block 1007, causing the rack 1005 to move. At the same time, the fifth spring 1006 is compressed. When the rack 1005 moves, it can drive the gear 1001 to rotate and drive the rotating plate 904 to flip through the rotating shaft 903. When the adsorption module 103 moves upward, it pushes the push pin 604 to move upward along the third inclined groove 602. At this time, it can push the first slider 206 to move and reset along the guide rail 205. At the same time, it can drive the rotating plate 904 to move through the connecting frame 901 and the second mounting block 902. At this time, the bottom of the sole can be detected by the second vision sensor 905, facilitating the detection of defective soles and ensuring the counting effect.

[0049] When the conical cover 12 abuts against the side wall of the sole and slides to the top of the sole, the conical cover 12 moves upward. At the same time, the second spring 803 is compressed. When the conical cover 12 moves upward, it can drive the identification plate 14 to move upward through the lifting module 15. At this time, within the sensing range, it can be detected by the lens 1101 for counting. When the conical cover 12 passes over the sole, the conical cover 12 can move downward and reset under the action of the second spring 803. The mounting plate 204 can move downward and reset under the action of the fourth spring 704, and drive the identification plate 14 to move downward through the lifting module 15. At this time, it exceeds the sensing distance of the lens 1101 and no longer performs counting processing. Thus, during the movement of the counting sensor 11, the soles adsorbed on the suction head 104 can be sequentially counted. Setting the lens 1101 inside the conical cover 12 can avoid the influence of external dust and light, and can also avoid interference from color similarity and texture similarity, ensuring the accuracy of counting.

[0050] When counting, when the conical cover 12 moves upward, the fixed cover 503 is driven to move by the first L-shaped block 502. When the inclined surface 507 abuts against the side wall of the fixed block 501, the triangular block 506 retracts into the fixed cover 503. At the same time, the third spring 505 is compressed. When the triangular block 506 passes over the fixed block 501, the triangular block 506 can protrude outward under the action of the third spring 505. When the conical cover 12 moves downward, the fixed cover 503 is driven to move downward synchronously by the first L-shaped block 502, so that the plane 508 abuts against the side wall of the fixed block 501, thereby being able to push the rotating rod 407 to rotate and drive the pointer 408 to rotate. Each time a count is made, the rotating rod 407 can rotate a certain angle, so that the pointer 408 indicates the mark 403 on the ring 402, and the mark 403 indicated by the pointer 408 is detected by the first vision sensor 409, and the number of each palletizing can be determined and compared with the counting result of the counting sensor 11, and double counting can be realized, making the counting result more accurate and reliable.

[0051] Moreover, when adsorbing the sole, when the first moving block 304 disengages from the stop rod 308, the first moving block 304 can move toward the direction close to the annular cover 13 under the action of the first spring 306. At the same time, the second moving block 302 is driven to move into the heat preservation box 301 through the connecting plate 305, so as to be able to squeeze the coolant temporarily stored in the heat preservation box 301. The first one-way valve opens and the second one-way valve closes. At this time, the coolant in the heat preservation box 301 can enter the annular cover 13 through the liquid supply pipe 309. At this time, the counting sensor 11 can be cooled, so as to ensure the accuracy of counting. After the counting is completed, it is palletized by the palletizing manipulator 102. After the palletizing is completed, the adsorption module 103 is reset. At this time, the first moving block 304 can be made to abut against the stop rod 308, thereby pushing the first moving block 304 to move away from the annular cover 13, and the first spring 306 is compressed. At the same time, the first one-way valve closes and the second one-way valve opens. At this time, the second moving block 302 can be driven to move away from the heat preservation box 301 through the connecting plate 305. At the same time, the first one-way valve closes and the second one-way valve opens. At this time, the coolant in the annular cover 13 can be pumped back into the heat preservation box 301 through the liquid return pipe 310 for cooling, ensuring the cooling effect of the counting sensor 11 in the subsequent process.
