[0025] The first stopper 108 and the second stopper 109 can play a role of limiting during the rotation process, and only rotate a specific angle of 90 degrees. After being in place, the locking handle 107 is used to lock.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, when loading, the upper support 105 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise. At this time, the feeding mechanism is outside, and the staff puts the transmission belts on the feeding mechanism one by one. After the manual loading is completed, the upper support 105 rotates 90 degrees clockwise again and returns to Figure 1position and start automatic loading.

[0027] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame 300, a feeding motor 301, a feeding slider 302, a feeding slide 303, a material level detection switch 304, a feeding slider 305, a feeding slide rail 306, a feeding telescopic rod 307, a material level detection rotating block 308, and a lightweight spring 309.

[0028] The feeding slide 303 is arranged on the feeding rack 300, the feeding slider 302 is connected to the feeding slide 303 for forward and backward sliding, the feeding motor 301 is arranged on the feeding rack 300, a sprocket is arranged on the feeding rack 300, a sprocket is arranged on the feeding motor 301, chains are arranged on the two sprockets, the chain and the feeding slider 302 are fixedly connected, and the feeding motor 301 is installed forward and reverse to drive the feeding slider 302 to slide forward or backward on the feeding slide 303.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the transmission belts are hung one by one on the feeding slide 303, and the feeding motor 301 rotates to drive the feeding slider 302 to push the transmission belt forward along the feeding slide 303.

[0030] The material level detection rotating block 308 includes a lever 3081 , a rotating block 3082 , a rotating shaft 3083 , a detection counterweight block 3084 , and a bearing 3085 .

[0031] The rotating shaft 3083 is mounted on the feeding rack 300 and is located at the lower front end of the feeding slideway 303. The bearing 3085 is mounted on the rotating shaft 3083. The rotating block 3082 is mounted on the bearing 3085. The lever 3081 is mounted on one end of the rotating block, and the detection counterweight 3084 is mounted on the other end. The material level detection switch 304 is set on the feeding rack 300 for sensing and detecting the counterweight 3084.

[0032] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the weight of the detection counterweight block is relatively large. In the absence of a transmission belt, the front lever 3081 tilts up. As the feeding motor 301 rotates to feed and push the transmission belt, the transmission belt slides from the feeding slideway 303 to the lever 3081. Under the action of the weight of the transmission belt, the rotating block 3082 rotates. After the material level detection switch 304 detects the counterweight block 3084, it receives a signal and instructs the feeding motor 301 to stop. The transmission belt falls onto the feeding telescopic rod 307.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the pushing cylinder 002 is arranged on the feeding rack 300, and the feeding slider 305 is arranged at the rod end of the pushing cylinder 002, and the feeding slider 305 is slidably connected with the feeding slide rail 306.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the feeding slider 305 has a hole running through the front and back, the front hole diameter is small, and the rear hole diameter is large. The rear end of the telescopic rod 307 is provided with a baffle, and the telescopic rod 307 is inserted into the through hole of the feeding slider 305. The baffle is engaged at the intersection of the large and small holes to prevent the telescopic rod 307 from sliding out from the front end. A lightweight spring 309 is arranged in the large hole of the feeding slider 305, and the other end of the lightweight spring is pressed tightly against the end face of the baffle of the telescopic rod 307. The rear end of the large hole of the feeding slider 305 is blocked to block the rear end of the lightweight spring 309.

[0035] When the front end of the telescopic rod 307 receives pressure, it will slide to the left, compressing the light spring. When there is no pressure, the light spring will bounce the telescopic rod 307 back.

[0036] like Fig. 9 As shown, the mobile material receiving mechanism includes a mobile frame 601, a fixed frame 602, a ball screw drive mechanism 604, a slider guide mechanism 605, a support leg 606, and a material receiving motor 007.

[0037] The movable frame 601 is slidably arranged on the fixed frame 602 through a slider guide mechanism 605 , and the material receiving motor 007 is arranged on the fixed frame 602 , and the movable frame 601 is driven to slide left and right on the fixed frame 602 through a ball screw driving mechanism 604 .

[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, the tensioning mechanism includes a tensioning frame 500 , a tensioning motor 501 , a large tensioning wheel 502 , a small tensioning wheel 503 , a side tensioning wheel 504 , a double-axis cylinder 506 , and a tensioning slider 507 .

[0039] The tensioning frame 500 is arranged on the movable frame 601, the tensioning slider 507 is slidably arranged on the tensioning frame 500, the tensioning motor 501 is arranged on the tensioning frame 500, the tensioning motor 501 drives the tensioning slider 507 to slide up and down through the ball screw nut, the large tensioning wheel 502 is fixedly arranged on the tensioning frame 500, and the small tensioning wheel 503 is fixedly arranged on the tensioning slider 507.

[0040] The double-axis cylinder 506 is arranged on the moving frame 601, and the side tensioning wheel 504 is arranged at the end of the extended rod thereof to tension the transmission belt from the side.

[0041] like Fig. 9 As shown, after the push cylinder 002 extends, the receiving motor 007 of the mobile receiving mechanism starts, and the mobile frame 601 slides to the left together with the tensioning mechanism. The large tensioning wheel 502 moves toward the telescopic rod 307, and the telescopic rod 307 retracts due to being squeezed. The upper edge of the large tensioning wheel 502 is slightly lower than the telescopic rod, and the transmission belt on the telescopic rod just slides onto the upper edge of the large tensioning wheel, completing the transmission belt receiving.

[0042] Then, driven by the tensioning motor 501, the small tensioning wheel 503 and the tensioning slider 507 slide downward along the tensioning frame 500. When the small tensioning wheel 503 slides downward, the transmission belt is tensioned on the large tensioning wheel and the small tensioning wheel. The double-axis cylinder 506 extends, and the side tensioning wheel 504 presses the transmission belt from the side. After the mobile material receiving mechanism completes the material receiving, it moves to the right and the transmission belt is inspected by the visual system. The feeding cylinder retracts and waits for the next transmission belt. A driving motor is provided on the tensioning frame to drive the large tensioning wheel to rotate, and the transmission belt is inspected during the rotation. Because the camera is fixed, the transmission belt needs to be rotated.

[0043] The material unloading mechanism includes a retaining ring 401 , a material unloading lever 402 , a material unloading rotating shaft 403 , a rotating arm 406 , a material unloading bracket 405 , a material unloading cylinder 404 , and a swing rod 407 .

[0044] The unloading bracket 405 is installed on the mobile frame 601, the unloading shaft 403 is rotatably set on the unloading bracket 405, one end of the rocker arm 407 is connected to the unloading shaft 403, the other end of the rocker arm 407 is connected to the unloading lever 402, the retaining ring 401 is set at the connection between the rocker arm 407 and the unloading lever 402, the tail end of the unloading cylinder 404 is rotatably set on the mobile frame 601, the rod end of the unloading cylinder 405 is rotatably connected to the rotating arm 406, and the other end of the rotating arm 406 is fixedly connected to the unloading shaft 403.

[0045] The material unloading auxiliary cylinder 702 is installed on the moving frame 601 through a bracket 703 , and the rod end of the material unloading auxiliary cylinder 702 is connected to the push plate 703 .

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the unloading mechanism has one set on the left and one set on the right, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the large tension wheel. The unloading shaft 403 is arranged parallel to the shaft of the large tension wheel. When the unloading cylinder 404 is recovered, the shaft 403 is driven to rotate, so that the unloading lever 402 extends to the front end of the large tension wheel. The unloading lever points vertically to the large tension wheel, waiting to connect the transmission belt. The two sets on the left and right are for distinction. When the test is qualified, one set is used, and when the test is unqualified, the other set is used, so as to classify qualified products and unqualified products.

[0047] There are also two unloading auxiliary cylinders 702, one on each side, which are arranged on both sides of the large tension wheel. After the transmission belt detection is completed, the small tension wheel slides upward and the transmission belt is loosened. At this time, the two unloading auxiliary cylinders 702 simultaneously push the transmission belt forward, causing the transmission belt to fall off and fall on the unloading lever 402.

[0048] Then, the unloading cylinder 404 extends to rotate the unloading shaft 403 counterclockwise, and the lever moves away from the center position, pushing the transmission belt on the unloading lever 402 to the outside of the equipment. During the rotation of the lever, the transmission belt will fall off the lever and fall into the material receiving box.

[0049] In order to facilitate the falling off, the lever and the swing arm are at an obtuse angle. The retaining ring 401 prevents the transmission belt from getting stuck at the connection. At this point, the unloading of a transmission belt is completed.

[0050] See also Figure 12-Figure 17 The visual inspection structure includes a line scan camera 91, a camera slide 92, a fixing frame 93, a single light source adjustment frame 94, an industrial vision strip light source 95, a dual light source adjustment frame 97, and an inner side inspection structure 98.

The end of the inner side detection structure 98 of the belt with a reflector extends into the inner side of the transmission belt 99. The transmission belt 99 is embedded in the grooves on the large tension wheel 502 and the small tension wheel 503. The rotation of the tension wheel drives the transmission belt 99 to rotate, thereby enabling the line scan camera 91 to perform defect detection.

[0052] The single light source adjustment frame 94 , the double light source adjustment frame 97 , and the bottom plate 9801 are respectively mounted on the moving frame 601 .

When installing the inner side detection structure 98 of the belt, one end with the reflector should be extended into the inner side of the transmission belt, so that the reflector A9804 and the reflector B9805 are at an angle of 45 degrees to the inner side of the transmission belt 99, reflecting the light to the surface of the transmission belt 99. At the same time, the image information on the surface of the transmission belt 99 is also reflected to the line scan camera 91, completing the visual detection in the narrow inner space of the transmission belt 99.
