[0027] As Figure 1As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an automatic feeding vibration mechanism based on industrial vision, comprising: an external support plate 1, a vibrating disc 2, a turnover mechanism 3, a steering mechanism 4, a discharge guide rail 5, a camera A 7, a camera B 8, wherein the vibrating disc 2 is installed in the external support plate 1, the turnover mechanism 3, the steering mechanism 4, the camera A 7 and the camera B 8 are all installed on the side wall of the external support plate 1, so as to avoid damage to the turnover mechanism 3, the steering mechanism 4, the camera A 7 and the camera B 8 caused by the vibration of the vibrating disc 2; the discharge guide rail 5 is fixedly connected with the outer side wall of the vibrating disc 2 through a support rod 6; the turnover mechanism 3 is used for overturning the material on a vertical plane, and the steering mechanism 4 is used for rotating the material on a horizontal plane; from the advancing direction of the material, the camera A 7, the turnover mechanism 3 and the camera B 8 are arranged in sequence, and the steering mechanism 4 is located on one side of the camera B 8.

[0028] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 When the vibrating disc 2 is running, the material passes through the camera A 7, the turnover mechanism 3, the camera B 8 and the steering mechanism 4 in sequence, and finally enters the discharge guide rail 5; when the material passes below the camera A 7, the camera A 7 takes a photo of the material, judges the posture of the material based on the vision detection system, and generates an operation scheme of the turnover mechanism 3 according to the posture of the material. Similarly, the camera B 8 generates an operation scheme of the steering mechanism 4 based on the photo taken by the camera B 8.

[0029] In this way, the posture of the material in the conveying track can be adjusted in real time according to the detection results of the camera A 7 and the camera B 8.

[0030] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the turnover mechanism 3 comprises a wheel disc 31, a grooved wheel 32, a lever 33 and a pulley 34, wherein one end of the wheel disc 31 is provided with a pulley 34, the other end of the wheel disc 31 is provided with a section of a pipe, the wheel disc 31 is installed on the shell of the turnover mechanism 3 through the pipe, the wheel disc 31 is internally provided with a containing groove 35, and the containing groove 35 can contain only a single material; the middle part of the lever 33 is connected with a transmission shaft, two pulleys 34 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the lever 33, and the pulleys 34 can cooperate with the grooved wheel 32. In this way, when the lever 33 rotates one circle, the wheel disc 31 can rotate half a circle, and when the lever 33 rotates half a circle, the wheel disc 31 can rotate 90 degrees.

[0031] For some specific materials, the types of the posture of the materials in the conveying track are limited, for example, the posture of a square material in a vertical plane has and only has four types, and the posture of a flat material in a vertical plane has and only has two types. In actual application, flat materials and square materials are the most common, therefore, in the embodiment, the number of grooves in the grooved wheel 32 is set to four to meet the requirement of "turning the material by 90 degrees or 180 degrees".

[0032] As Figure 3 shown in one embodiment of the present application, the turnover mechanism 3 further comprises a baffle 36, which is driven by a linear transmission mechanism, such as a cylinder, and can move along the radial direction of the groove wheel 32. Since the material has a tendency to move towards the direction 5 when it is in the groove wheel 32, the baffle 36 can be moved to block the containing groove 35 when the groove wheel 32 is turned over, so as to avoid the material moving along the radial direction of the groove wheel 32 during the turnover process.

[0034] As Figure 5 shown in one embodiment of the present application, the base 43 is installed with a ratchet wheel 49, the power source 45 is installed with a pull rod 46, the power source 45 can drive the pull rod 46 to move linearly, the pull rod 46 is installed with a plurality of rotatable ratchet teeth 50, one side of the ratchet teeth 50 is provided with a spring 51, and the two ends of the spring 51 are respectively connected with the pull rod 46 and the ratchet teeth 50; the ratchet wheel 49 is provided with four teeth, so that the ratchet wheel 49 rotates 90 degrees at a time when the ratchet teeth 50 cooperate with the ratchet wheel 49 and drive the ratchet wheel 49 to rotate; at the same time, one end of the ratchet wheel 49 is provided with a transmission wheel B 48, the transmission wheel B 48 rotates synchronously with the ratchet wheel 49, the suction cup module 44 is fixedly connected with a transmission wheel A 47, the transmission wheel A 47 is connected with the transmission wheel B 48 through a belt, so that the suction cup module 44 can be driven to rotate by the horizontal movement of the pull rod 46, and the suction cup module 44 rotates 90 degrees at a time.

[0035] As Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the suction cup module 44 comprises a movable tube 441, a suction cup 442, a spacer 443, an interface 444, and a nut 445.
