Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of detection, and particularly to a connecting piece detection and tray loading device. Background Art

[0002] For connecting pieces made of metal, it is necessary to detect whether there are dirt, oxidation, and burrs on their surfaces. If there are defective connecting pieces, they need to be removed, then palletized and loaded into a Tray. Finally, they are transferred to the next station. At present, the detection of connecting pieces mostly uses vision detection. During detection, after detection, the mechanical arm unloads the materials, and then the materials are manually transported to the palletizing and Tray loading station for loading. The two stations are isolated and cannot perform pipeline detection and tray loading operations, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above disadvantages, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a connecting piece detection and tray loading device that can improve the detection and tray loading efficiency, ensure the correct position of the connecting pieces before palletizing, and facilitate palletizing.

The end of the blanking belt is connected to the beginning of the material sorting component. The end of the material sorting component is connected to the blanking turntable. One of the stations of the blanking turntable is connected to the turnover and tray placing component by a mechanical arm.

[0005] The beneficial effect of the connecting piece detection and tray loading device of the present invention is that the feeding belt is used to feed the detection turntable. After being detected by the lower camera, the first upper camera, and the second upper camera respectively, the system records the models of the NG materials with dirt, oxidation, and burrs, and then the NG materials are removed by the NG kicking component. The qualified connecting pieces are transferred to the material sorting component by the blanking belt, the connecting pieces to be palletized are sorted and arranged neatly, and then fall into the blanking turntable. Then, the mechanical arm transfers them to the turnover and tray placing component for tray placing treatment. After adopting this technical solution, it has the beneficial effects of improving the detection and tray loading efficiency, ensuring the correct position of the connecting pieces before palletizing, and facilitating palletizing.

When the two jaws 540 can move towards each other, the two inserting parts 542 can be inserted into each other.

[0042] The turnover and palletizing assembly 400 includes an empty tray loading station 400a and a palletizing and palletizing station 400b. Both the empty tray loading station 400a and the palletizing and palletizing station 400b include:

[0043] A clamping cylinder group, including a plurality of clamping cylinders 410. The plurality of clamping cylinders 410 are respectively connected with clamping blocks 411 for clamping the Tray tray 440;

[0044] Two lifting support plates 420, located below the clamping cylinder group, are driven to lift by a lifting linear module 421. The lifting support plates 420 are located below the Tray tray 440;

[0045] A horizontal support plate 430, located between the two lifting support plates 420, is driven by a horizontal linear module 431 to move horizontally towards or away from the two lifting support plates 420;

[0046] A palletizing manipulator for connecting the empty tray loading station 400a and the palletizing and palletizing station 400b.

[0047] The lifting support plate 420 of the empty tray loading station 400a moves upward from bottom to top, and the horizontal support plate 430 moves inward from outside to inside, continuously supplying empty Tray trays 440 to the empty tray loading station 400a; the lifting support plate 420 of the palletizing and palletizing station 400b moves downward from top to bottom, and the horizontal support plate 430 moves outward from inside to outside, continuously moving the full Tray trays 440 of the palletizing and palletizing station 400b outward.

[0048] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] The feeding belt 110 is used to feed the connecting piece 600 onto the detection turntable 100. The connecting piece 600 slides from the first inclined chute 111 between the inner guide rod 180 and the outer guide rod 150. The inner guide rod 180 and the outer guide rod 150 are used to position the connecting piece 600 at a specific position on the detection turntable 100 to ensure that it does not deviate from the predetermined track. After being detected by the lower camera 120, the first upper camera 130, and the second upper camera 140 in sequence, the system records the model of the connecting piece 600 of the NG materials with dirt, oxidation, and burrs, and then it is removed by the NG kicking component 160. When removing, for different types of defective products, the blowing nozzle 161 is used to blow the NG materials into the corresponding NG material collecting buckets 162. For example, the three NG material collecting buckets 162 respectively collect the NG materials with dirt, oxidation, and burrs. The qualified connecting piece 600 will move along the dialing rod 171 in a specific direction to the entrance of the discharging belt 170, and then be transferred from the second inclined chute 172 at the outlet of the discharging belt 170 to the sorting track 210. The direction of the connecting piece 600 is adjusted by the width of the sorting track 210 to align the connecting piece 600. It is counted by the counting sensor 220. When a certain quantity is reached, the blanking turntable 300 rotates 90°, so that the second empty blanking bin 310 rotates under the two horizontal baffles 230. When the blanking bin 310 receives the material, the baffle cylinder 240 opens the two horizontal baffles 230, and the lifting plate 312 under the blanking bin 310 catches the connecting piece 600. Each time a connecting piece 600 is caught, the height of the next connecting piece 600 is lowered until the blanking bin 310 is filled with the predetermined quantity of connecting pieces 600.After the full material bin 310 rotates 90°, it reaches the material push rod 314. The material push rod 314 drives the movable plate 315 to move the more than one hundred stacked connecting sheets 600 in the bin 310 for sorting. The more than one hundred connecting sheets 600 are squeezed to one side for sorting. After the more than one hundred connecting sheets 600 are sorted, the three-axis moving module 510 drives the rotating cylinder 520 to the second station of the bin 310. At this time, the clamping claw cylinder 530 is in a horizontal state, driving a pair of clamping claws 540 to move toward each other, and the two clamping plates 541 move toward each other along the plug-in piece 542, respectively clamping the upper and lower end faces of a stack of connecting sheets 600 from the material taking port 311, and after lifting, the more than one hundred connecting sheets 600 originally stacked vertically are rotated to a horizontal state. Then the three-axis moving module 510 moves to the empty Tray 440 of the stacking and swinging station 400b, and repeats the operation until the empty Tray 440 of the stacking and swinging station 400b is full. During the material swinging process, the four clamping cylinders 410 of the stacking and swinging station 400b always clamp the four corners of the empty Tray 440 until it is full; after it is full, the four clamping cylinders 410 release the clamping of the full Tray 440, and the full Tray 440 is supported by the lifting support plate 420, and the lifting support plate 420 is driven down by the lifting linear module 421 of the stacking and swinging station 400b until the full Tray 440 falls to the horizontal support plate 430, is supported by the horizontal support plate 430, and then is pulled out horizontally by the horizontal linear module 431. The working principle of the empty tray loading station 400a is the same, but in the opposite direction. For example, the lifting pallet 420 moves from bottom to top and the horizontal pallet 430 moves from outside to inside, continuously supplying empty trays 440 to the empty tray loading station 400a. Once the tray 440 of the palletizing and plate stacking station 400b moves down, the palletizing robot will move the empty tray 440 of the empty tray loading station 400a to the palletizing and plate stacking station 400b, and clamp it by the four clamping cylinders 410 of the palletizing and plate stacking station 400b, and repeat the operation.
