DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0019] In the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure: a sorting device for a foaming glue tank body conveying line, comprising a transfer chuck 600 and a sorting clamp assembly 700 arranged inside the transfer chuck 600 and forming an equal division around, the transfer chuck 600 comprises a first chuck and a second chuck arranged in parallel, the first chuck and the second chuck are coaxially connected and synchronously rotate, a plurality of arc-shaped openings for clamping the foaming glue tank body are arranged on the first chuck and the second chuck, and track slots 800 for the movement of the sorting clamp assembly 700 are formed on the surfaces of the first chuck and the second chuck, a driving assembly 900 is arranged at the bottom of the sorting clamp assembly 700, and the sorting clamp assembly 700 and the driving assembly 900 are located between the first chuck and the second chuck.
[0020] First, the foaming glue tank body is conveyed by an upstream conveying line (such as a belt conveyor) to the feeding end of the sorting device in the horizontal direction, then an external logic controller calculates the accurate position coordinates of the tank body, and adjusts the initial angle of the transfer chuck 600 to ensure that the arc-shaped openings are aligned with the center of the tank body, when the tank body reaches the designated sorting position, the driving assembly 900 of the corresponding area is started, the sorting clamp assembly 700 is guided to expand outward through the track slot 800, so that the sorting clamp assembly 700 clamps the tank body; In some embodiments, according to Figures 1-5As shown, the sorting clamping assembly 700 includes a synchronizing rod 703, a slotted base 702, two elastic clamping arms 711, and a magnetic adjustment device 707. The synchronizing rod 703 is slidably disposed in the track groove 800. The two elastic clamping arms 711 are symmetrically disposed inside the slotted base 702. The two elastic clamping arms 711 are initially open. When subjected to a radially inward driving force, the elastic clamping arms 711 retract inward and hug the can. The magnetic adjustment device 707 is installed at the bottom end of the synchronizing rod 703. The magnetic adjustment device 707 adopts an electromagnet with adjustable magnetic field strength and dynamically adjusts the magnetic field strength by detecting the material of the can in real time through a Hall sensor installed on the surface.
[0021] A sliding vertical groove 704 is provided through the top surface of the synchronizing rod 703. A connecting slide rod 705 is slidably connected inside the sliding vertical groove 704. A miniature electromagnetic guide rod 708 is installed at the bottom end of the connecting slide rod 705. The miniature electromagnetic guide rod 708 is installed on the back side of the bottom end of the groove of the sliding vertical groove 704. A flexible contact arc member 706 is installed on the side end of the connecting slide rod 705 for stabilizing the bottleneck of the tank.
[0022] A double-toothed connecting rod 709 is connected to the center end surface of the synchronizing rod 703. The double-toothed connecting rod 709 is slidably connected inside the upper and lower symmetrical slotted base 702. A pivot post is installed inside the upper and lower symmetrical slotted base 702. An angle rotating gear 710 is rotatably connected to the outside of the pivot post. The angle rotating gear 710 is installed on the side of the elastic clamping arm 711. The angle rotating gear 710 and the double-toothed connecting rod 709 are meshed and connected.
[0023] The center ends of the first chuck and the second chuck are connected to a rotating column. The top of the rotating column is installed on the outside of the slotted base 702, and several rotating rings are equidistantly sleeved on the bottom of the rotating column.
[0024] An arc-shaped connecting point 701 is installed on the side wall of the center end of the synchronizing rod 703, and the arc-shaped connecting point 701 is slidably connected to the surface of the slotted base 702.
[0025] Specifically: First, before operation, the sorting clamping assembly 700 is initially opened, with two elastic clamping arms 711 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the slotted base 702. They remain stationary through the meshing relationship between the angle gear 710 and the double-toothed connecting rod 709, with the distance between them greater than the diameter of the can. The synchronizing rod 703 is located at the outermost position of the track groove 800, and the arc-rotation connecting point 701 is embedded in the arc-rotation groove 902 of the end gear 901, waiting for the radial driving force of the drive assembly 900. The magnetic suction adjuster 707 is in a low magnetic field standby mode (e.g., making the magnetic field strength 0.1T). The Hall sensor scans the material signal of the can on the conveyor belt in real time (e.g., metal, plastic) and transmits the data to the external logic controller.
[0026] Then, when the can body enters the arc-shaped opening of the transfer chuck 600 directly above: The end gear 901 of the driving assembly 900 rotates under the drive of the central driving rotating gear 906, and the arc rotating groove 902 forces the arc rotating connecting piece 701 to move towards the center, so that the synchronous rod 703 moves along the radial linear track groove 800, and then the double-toothed edge connecting rod 709 of the synchronous rod 703 synchronously slides inward, the toothed edge of the double-toothed edge connecting rod 709 pushes the angle rotating gear 710 to rotate around the rotating point column, at the same time, the angle rotating gear 710 drives the elastic clamping arm 711 to contract inward, forming a wrapping trend, at this time, the Hall sensor has recognized the material of the can body and triggered the magnetic attraction regulator 707 to adjust the magnetic field strength (such as increasing to 0.8T for a metal can and keeping 0.3T for a plastic can).
[0027] After that, when the elastic clamping arm 711 contacts the surface of the can body, the above-mentioned synchronous rod 703 moves along the radial linear track groove 800, so that the magnetic attraction regulator 707 contacts the outer surface of the can body, and the can body is adsorbed by the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet, at this time, the miniature electromagnetic guide rod 708 is electrified to generate a magnetic force, and the connecting sliding rod 705 is locked at a specified position of the sliding vertical groove 704, so as to ensure that the flexible contact arc piece 706 applies a constant pressure (about 5-10N) to prevent the can body from shaking during the transfer, facilitate the displacement of the flexible contact arc piece 706 with the connecting sliding rod 705 up and down, better fit the neck of the can body of different heights, and the meshing gap between the double-toothed edge connecting rod 709 and the angle rotating gear 710 automatically compensates for the diameter deviation of the can body, realizing self-adaptive clamping.
[0028] Then, the transfer chuck 600 drives the can body to rotate to the sorting area, so that the synchronous rod 703 rotates at a constant speed with the rotating column body, the rotating ring structure reduces the radial friction, and ensures the stable operation of the clamping assembly; if an unqualified product signal is detected (such as the visual sensor 400 recognizes that the label is skewed), the external logic controller sends a command to the electromagnetic interrupter 905 at the corresponding position to cut off the power of the end gear 901, and the synchronous rod 703 stops radial movement, at this time, the elastic clamping arm 711 remains at the current position due to the loss of driving force, and the can body is separated from the clamping arm under the action of centrifugal force and falls into the substandard product chute; the qualified product continues to rotate with the clamping arm to the discharge port, and the magnetic field is automatically released after being turned off.
[0029] Finally, after the sorting is completed, the assembly is reset, so that the driving assembly 900 reversely rotates, the synchronous rod 703 retreats to the initial position along the track groove 800, the angle rotating gear 710 drives the elastic clamping arm 711 to reopen, and the miniature electromagnetic guide rod 708 is de-energized, the connecting sliding rod 705 is reset under the action of the spring, the flexible contact arc piece 706 is separated from the neck of the can body, and the magnetic attraction regulator 707 is switched to the cleaning mode to adsorb the metal debris on the surface of the elastic clamping arm 711 by the pulse magnetic field, and at the same time, the internal vibration structure of the slotted base 702 is started to shake off the residual colloid.
[0030] The whole effective forms the multi-material adaptive clamping operation, so that the Hall sensor identifies the can body material in real time, dynamically adjusts the magnetic field strength in a very short time (such as 0.5 seconds), avoids the deformation caused by too strong adsorption of the metal can or the falling caused by insufficient adsorption of the plastic can, and the gear transmission structure of the double-toothed edge connecting rod 709 and the angle rotating gear 710 can automatically adapt to the change of the diameter of the can body without manual calibration, and at the same time, high-precision sorting and low-damage operation are formed, so that the whole significantly improves the precision, efficiency and flexibility of the foam glue can body sorting.
[0031] In some embodiments, according to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the driving assembly 900 includes end gears 901, the end gears 901 are arranged in several, the several end gears 901 are arranged in layers, the surfaces of the several end gears 901 are all provided with arc rotating grooves 902, the arc rotating grooves 902 are internally and arc rotating connecting point pieces 701 are arranged, and are used to drive the arc rotating connecting point pieces 701 to rotate in the arc rotating grooves 902.
[0032] The side ends of the several end gears 901 are all connected with small rotating teeth 903, the bottom ends of the small rotating teeth 903 are connected with single-stage control gears 904 through connecting shafts, the top ends of the single-stage control gears 904 are connected with electromagnetic interrupters 905, the electromagnetic interrupters 905 are connected with external logic controllers through signals, the several end gears 901 are connected with rotating rings, and the two ends of the several end gears 901 are all provided with limiting points.
[0033] The side ends of the single-stage control gears 904 are connected with center driving rotating gears 906, and the bottom ends of the center driving rotating gears 906 are connected with driving motors 907.
[0034] Specifically: first, the driving assembly 900 is in standby state, that is, before operation, the driving motor 907 is not started, the center driving rotating gear 906 remains stationary, all end gears 901 are locked in the initial position through the limiting points, the electromagnetic interrupter 905 is in the energized state, the single-stage control gear 904 and the small rotating tooth 903 are locked as rigid connection, the position of the end gear 901 is fixed, the arc rotating connecting point piece 701 is embedded in the arc rotating groove 902 of the end gear 901, the sorting and clamping assembly 700 rotates with the transfer chuck 600, and waits for the can body positioning signal.
[0035] Then, when the visual sensor 400 detects that the can body enters the designated station, the external logic controller sends a start command to the drive motor 907, and the center drive gear 906 starts to rotate clockwise. The center drive gear 906 drives the single-stage control gear 904 to rotate through the meshing relationship. The small gear 903 drives the end gear 901 to rotate. If a certain layer of end gear 901 needs to be activated, the logic controller sends a power-off signal to the corresponding electromagnetic brake 905. The single-stage control gear 904 of this layer is unlocked from the small gear 903, and the other layers remain stationary due to the energization of the electromagnetic brake 905. Taking the three-layer end gear as an example, the sorting and clamping assembly 700 can be set to independently control the upper layer to process large-diameter can bodies, the middle layer to process standard can bodies, and the lower layer to process special-shaped can bodies, realizing a modular structure for multi-specification sorting operations.
[0036] After that, when the end gear 901 rotates, the arc-shaped trajectory of the arc-shaped groove 902 forces the arc-shaped connecting point piece 701 to move towards the center of the circle, causing the synchronization rod 703 to move radially and linearly along the trajectory groove 800. The curvature radius of the arc-shaped groove 902 determines the moving speed of the synchronization rod 703. For example, when the end gear 901 rotates 30°, the arc-shaped groove 902 guides the arc-shaped connecting point piece 701 to move 5mm, and the elastic clamping arm 711 is contracted to 80% of the initial spacing, completing the pre-clamping of the standard-diameter can body. If a large-diameter can body needs to be clamped, the logic controller adjusts the rotating speed of the drive motor 907, causing the end gear 901 to rotate 60°, and the arc-shaped connecting point piece 701 to move 10mm, so that the elastic clamping arm 711 is fully expanded for pre-clamping of the large-diameter can body.
[0037] Then, when the can body rotates with the transfer chuck 600 to the sorting station, the external logic controller sends a power-off signal to the corresponding layer electromagnetic brake 905 based on the detection results (such as abnormal can body pressure), causing the end gear 901 of this layer to stop rotating due to the loss of power, and the arc-shaped connecting point piece 701 is locked at a specific position of the arc-shaped groove 902. The elastic clamping arm 711 maintains the current clamping state. The qualified product continues to rotate with the other layers of end gear 901 to the discharge port, and is automatically released after the magnetic field is turned off. The unqualified product is retained due to the stop of the end gear 901, and is grabbed and removed by the shaft joint mechanical arm 200 or is thrown out by swinging force.
[0038] Finally, after sorting is completed, the drive motor 907 is reversed to rotate, the end gear 901 drives the arc-shaped connecting point piece 701 to return to the initial position, and the elastic clamping arm 711 is reopened. At this time, the limit point limits the rotating range of the end gear 901 (such as ±90°), preventing the arc-shaped connecting point piece 701 from disengaging from the trajectory groove 800, and the electromagnetic brake 905 is re-energized to lock the single-stage control gear 904, preparing for the next sorting cycle.
[0039] The overall assembly features layered independent control, enabling parallel processing of multiple specifications. Through the upper and lower layered end gears 901, multiple cans of different specifications can be processed simultaneously, greatly improving sorting efficiency compared to traditional single-station equipment. Furthermore, when an end gear 901 in a certain layer fails, the electromagnetic interruptor 905 can cut off the power to that layer, while other layers continue to operate, avoiding a complete line shutdown. This improves the overall efficiency of the equipment and effectively solves the problems of slow specification switching, high energy consumption, and complex maintenance in traditional sorting devices, thereby improving sorting efficiency and accuracy.
[0040] In some embodiments, according to Figure 1 As shown, a circumferential rotating structure is installed at the top of the first chuck, and a shaft joint mechanical arm 200 is installed at the top of the circumferential rotating structure. A pulse adjustment rod structure 300 is installed around the outer periphery of the circumferential rotating structure. The pulse adjustment rod structure 300 consists of an adjustment transmission rod, a pulse generator, and a pulse controller.
[0041] A vision sensor 400 is installed on the top of the joint robotic arm 200, a flexible clamping member 500 is installed at the end of the joint robotic arm 200, a tank guiding structure 100 is installed on the outside of the transfer chuck 600, a laser thickness gauge, a pressure sensor and a vision camera are respectively installed on the surface of the tank guiding structure 100, and different tank division areas are connected to the sides of the arc-shaped opening.
[0042] Specifically: First, the visual camera on the tank guide structure 100 scans the tank's exterior to identify its type (e.g., round, square), label location, and surface defects. Simultaneously, a laser thickness gauge detects the tank wall thickness to determine if it meets production standards. A pressure sensor monitors the internal pressure in real time, filtering out defective products with abnormal pressure (e.g., leaks). Then, based on the detection data, an external logic controller calculates the precise position coordinates of the tank and adjusts the initial angle of the transfer chuck 600 to ensure the arc-shaped opening is aligned with the tank center. Subsequently, the circumferential rotation structure drives the joint robotic arm 200 to rotate directly above the tank, allowing the vision sensor 400 to perform secondary positioning of the tank, ensuring that the flexible gripper 500 is aligned with the center of the tank. The joint robotic arm 200 adjusts the posture of the flexible gripper 500 through multi-joint linkage (such as pitch, rotation, and extension) to adapt to changes in the height of the tank. The flexible gripper 500 is made of silicone and integrates a pressure sensor, enabling it to grip the tank with a constant force and avoid squeezing and deformation.
[0043] Then, the tank body rotates with the rotating transfer chuck 600 to the designated area, so that the pulse controller sends a signal to the pulse generator according to the instruction of the external logic controller, generates a pulse, and the pulse passes through the adjustment transmission rod and the circumferential rotating structure to form an adjustment of the azimuth, so as to generate a slight vibration, which assists the sorting clamping assembly 700 in operation. When the tank body deviates, the slight vibration can change the position of the tank body in the sorting clamping assembly 700, realize self-calibration operation, and further improve the sorting efficiency.
[0044] Wherein for qualified products, the flexible clamping piece 500 is loosened, and the tank body slides into the corresponding slide of the divided area along the arc-shaped opening; for unqualified products, the shaft joint mechanical arm 200 directly moves them to the waste box or the rework line.
[0045] Finally, after completing the sorting, the shaft joint mechanical arm 200 returns to the initial working position, waits for the next tank body grabbing instruction, the pulse adjustment rod structure 300 stops pulse output, the adjustment transmission rod resets to the periphery of the circumferential rotating structure, and the external logic controller updates the production data, counts the number of tank bodies in each area, unqualified types and other information, and generates a quality analysis report to form a historical data record.
[0046] The wiring diagram of the visual sensor 400, the magnetic attraction adjuster 707, the electromagnetic blocker 905, the laser thickness gauge, the pressure sensor and the visual camera in the application belong to the common knowledge in the art, and their working principles are already known technologies. The models are selected according to actual use, so the control mode and wiring arrangement of the visual sensor 400, the magnetic attraction adjuster 707, the electromagnetic blocker 905, the laser thickness gauge, the pressure sensor and the visual camera are not explained in detail.
