DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 6 This application is described in further detail.

[0040] The embodiment of the present application discloses a gasket thickness detection and sorting machine.

[0041] A gasket thickness detection and sorting machine comprises a workbench 1, a rotating disk 2, a gasket feeding device 3, a gasket pre-pressing device 4, a gasket thickness detection device 5 and a gasket sorting and collecting device 6. The rotating disk 2 is horizontally mounted on the workbench 1, and rotates around its own central axis through a rotating disk power source 25, and a plurality of placement disks 21 are distributed circumferentially along the rotation axis of the rotating disk 2 on the rotating disk 2. The gasket feeding device 3, the gasket pre-pressing device 4, the gasket thickness detection device 5 and the gasket sorting and collecting device 6 are located near the rotating disk 2, and are distributed in sequence along the rotation direction of the rotating disk 2, and a plurality of gasket sorting and collecting devices 6 are provided circumferentially along the axis direction of the rotating disk 2.

[0042] When the gasket needs to be pre-pressed and sorted, the gasket feeding device 3 places the gasket on the placement disk 21 of the rotating disk 2, and drives the gasket to pass through the gasket pre-pressing device 4, the gasket thickness detection device 5 and the gasket sorting and collecting device 6 in sequence through the rotating disk 2. When the gasket passes through the gasket pre-pressing device 4, the gasket pre-pressing device 4 applies pressure to the gasket on the placement disk 21. After the gasket is pressed, the gasket moves to a position close to the gasket thickness detection device 5 under the driving action of the rotating disk 2, and the thickness of the gasket is measured by the gasket thickness detection device 5. According to the different thicknesses of the gaskets, the rotating disk drives the gasket to move to a position close to the corresponding gasket sorting and collecting device 6, and the gaskets are collected by different gasket sorting and collecting devices 6, so as to realize the grading of the gaskets.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotating disk power source 25 is a rotating motor, and the rotating motor and the rotating disk 2 are in transmission cooperation. A positioning protrusion 212 is provided on the placement disk 21, and the positioning protrusion 212 is plugged and matched with the positioning hole on the gasket. The positioning protrusion 212 is used to limit the gasket, thereby reducing the possibility that the posture of the gasket changes during transportation, which affects the subsequent grabbing of the gasket.

[0044] The gasket feeding device 3 includes a storage component 31 and a feeding component 32 .

[0045] The material storage assembly 31 includes a material storage plate 311 and a material bin 312. The material storage plate 311 is horizontally located on the workbench 1 and rotated by a material storage plate power source 3111. In the embodiment of the present application, the material storage plate power source 3111 is a rotary cylinder. The rotary cylinder is fixedly mounted on the workbench 1, and the material storage plate 311 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder.

[0046] There are multiple silos 312 installed on the material storage plate 311. In the embodiment of the present application, there are two silos 312. A material storage space is formed inside the silo 312. The side wall of the silo 312 is provided with a position for the staff to observe the position of the gasket inside the silo 312. A push hole 3121 is opened at the bottom of the silo 312, and the push hole 3121 passes through the material storage plate 311 and the workbench 1.

[0047] A pushing part 313 is provided inside the material storage space. The pushing part 313 and the material bin 312 are slidably matched. The pushing part 313 moves in a vertical direction with the material storage assembly 31 through a pushing part power source 3133 .

[0048] The pushing part 313 includes a pushing rod 3132 and a pushing block 3131. The pushing rod 3132 is plugged into the pushing hole 3121. The pushing rod 3132 can move in the vertical direction, and the top of the pushing rod 3132 is in contact with the bottom of the pushing block 3131. In the embodiment of the present application, the power source 3133 of the pushing part is a screw module, and the bottom end of the pushing rod 3132 is fixedly connected to the slider of the screw module.

[0049] Gaskets are placed in batches inside the silo 312. When there are no gaskets inside the silo 312 near the loading position, the silo 312 with gaskets is rotated to a position close to the silo 312 by rotating the cylinder, and the pushing rod 3132 is passed through the pushing hole 3121 by the pushing part power source 3133, and drives the pushing block 3131 to move. The pushing block 3131 is used to push the gasket inside the silo 312 to the discharge port of the silo 312, thereby completing the transportation of the gaskets.

[0050] A proximity switch is provided at the discharge port of the silo 312. When the push block 3131 approaches the proximity switch, it is considered that the gasket of the silo 312 has been emptied.

[0051] The loading assembly 32 includes a picking portion 321 and a position control assembly 322 , and the picking portion 321 adjusts its position relative to the gasket through the position control assembly 322 .

[0052] The picking portion 321 includes a placing frame 3211 and a plurality of suction tubes 3212. The placing frame 3211 is mounted on the position control assembly 322, and the suction tubes 3212 are movably mounted on the placing frame 3211.

[0053] The placement rack 3211 is provided with a plurality of placement slots 3213 , and the suction tube 3212 is fixed to the placement slot 3213 of the placement rack 3211 through a plurality of connecting nuts. The suction tube 3212 is adjusted in position inside the placement slot 3213 to facilitate adapting to gaskets of different sizes.

[0054] The position control component 322 includes a horizontal adjustment cylinder and a vertical adjustment cylinder. The horizontal adjustment cylinder is fixedly installed on the workbench 1, and the vertical adjustment cylinder is fixedly installed on the push rod of the horizontal adjustment cylinder. The placement rack 3211 is fixedly installed on the push rod of the vertical adjustment cylinder. The position of the suction tube 3212 is adjusted by the coordinated cooperation of the horizontal adjustment cylinder and the vertical adjustment cylinder.

[0055] The gasket pre-pressing device 4 comprises a pressing block 41 and a mounting frame 42. The mounting frame 42 is mounted on the workbench 1, and the pressing block 41 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 42, and the pressing block 41 is located above the placement plate 21.

[0056] A guide hole 23 is provided on the rotating disk 2, and a guide column 22 which is plugged into the guide hole 23 is provided at the bottom of the placement disk 21, and the guide column 22 moves in the vertical direction through a guide column power source 221. The placement disk 21 is positioned by a positioning member 24, and a positioning opening 211 is provided on the side wall of the placement disk 21. The positioning member 24 includes a positioning block 241 and a positioning seat 242. The positioning block 241 is installed on the workbench 1 through the positioning seat 242, and the positioning block 241 is plugged into the positioning opening 211.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the power source of the guide column 221 is a cylinder, and the end of the cylinder push rod is in contact with the bottom of the guide column 22. When the gasket moves to below the pressure block 41, the cylinder pushes the guide column 22 to move inside the guide hole 23. The guide column 22 drives the gasket to move toward the pressure block 41 through the placement plate 21, so that the pressure block 41 and the placement plate 21 cooperate to squeeze the gasket. During the movement of the guide column 22, the positioning block 241 guides the placement plate 21 through the positioning port 211, thereby reducing the possibility of changes in the placement direction of the gasket affecting the subsequent grasping of the gasket.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the gasket thickness detection device 5 is an infrared distance measuring marking device. When the gasket on the placement plate 21 passes through the gasket thickness detection device 5, the gasket thickness detection device 5 detects the thickness of the gasket after pre-pressing, and classifies and marks the gasket according to the measured thickness of the gasket.

[0059] When measuring the distance of the gasket, the thickness of the gasket is determined by measuring the straight-line distance between the gasket and the gasket thickness detection device 5, thereby improving the convenience of detecting the gasket thickness.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, four gasket sorting and collecting devices 6 are provided, and the four gasket sorting and collecting devices 6 respectively collect gaskets of different thickness levels.

[0063] The collecting and picking assembly 62 and the feeding assembly 32 have the same structure.

[0064] The implementation principle of a gasket thickness detection and sorting machine in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: first, the gasket is placed on the placement disk of the rotating disk through a gasket feeding device, and then the gasket passes through the gasket pre-pressing device, the gasket thickness detection device and the gasket sorting and collecting device in sequence as the rotating disk rotates. In the gasket pre-pressing device, pressure will be applied to the gasket to ensure its flatness; then, the gasket thickness detection device will measure the thickness of the gasket; based on the detected thickness, the gasket will be sorted and collected by the gasket sorting and collecting device. Throughout the process, the use of positioning protrusions and guide columns ensures the positional stability of the gasket during transportation and handling, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the entire sorting process.

[0065] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto.
