Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of abrasive processing equipment technology, and in particular to a tool head detection and swivel device. Background Technology
[0002] Among diamond cutting tools, there is a type that is small and square in shape. Due to its small size, in order to improve processing efficiency, the cutting tools need to be arranged in a tray during processing, and then processed collectively by tray. However, the tray arrangement process is quite cumbersome, and it is very labor-intensive because defective products need to be removed. Therefore, a new tray arrangement device is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a blade detection tray device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: a blade detection tray-stacking device, comprising a frame, a feeding mechanism, a vision inspection mechanism, a tray-stacking mechanism, an empty tray fixing mechanism, a full tray fixing mechanism, and a tray-transporting mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding mechanism, an arranging mechanism, and a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the frame. The feeding mechanism is connected to the arranging mechanism. The arranging mechanism is disposed at one end of the conveyor belt, and the tray-stacking mechanism is disposed at the other end of the conveyor belt. A baffle plate is disposed at the other end of the conveyor belt. The vision inspection mechanism is disposed between the tray-stacking mechanism and the arranging mechanism. The empty tray fixing mechanism and the full tray fixing mechanism are respectively disposed on both sides of the tray-stacking mechanism. The tray-transporting mechanism is disposed between the empty tray fixing mechanism and the full tray fixing mechanism.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism continuously feeds the cutter heads into the arranging mechanism, which then feeds the cutter heads into the conveyor belt in a certain posture. The conveyor belt cutter heads pass through the vision inspection mechanism, which removes defective products and cutter heads that are placed in the wrong direction. The cutter heads finally stop below the tray-stacking mechanism under the obstruction of the baffle plate. When the number of cutter heads meets the tray-stacking requirements, the tray-stacking mechanism grabs a row of cutter heads and places them on the tray located on the transport mechanism. This process is repeated until the tray is full. At this time, the transport mechanism transports the full tray to the full tray fixing mechanism, and then removes the empty tray from the empty tray fixing mechanism and moves it below the tray-stacking mechanism for a new round of tray-stacking. This achieves the purpose of automatic tray-stacking and greatly reduces manual labor.
[0007] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding belt, a pusher plate, and a storage frame. The storage frame is fixedly connected to the end of the feeding belt, and the pusher plates are spaced apart on the feeding belt. One end of the feeding belt is located above the arranging mechanism. In this invention, the feeding belt is driven by a motor. The cutter heads are stacked in the storage frame, which is located above the feeding belt. When the feeding belt moves, the pusher plates on the feeding belt drive some of the cutter heads from below the storage frame to the outside of the storage frame, and then, with the movement of the feeding belt, they are fed into the arranging mechanism. This process achieves feeding.
[0008] Preferably, the arrangement mechanism is a vibratory feeder. This invention utilizes the vibration of the vibratory feeder and its guide rails to arrange the blades.
[0009] Preferably, the visual inspection mechanism includes three cameras, three light sources, and two sets of rejection mechanisms. Two of the cameras face opposite sides of the conveyor belt, one camera faces the conveyor belt from above, one set of rejection mechanisms is located between the first and second cameras, and the other set of rejection mechanisms is located behind the third camera. The three cameras of this invention detect both sides and the upper part of the blade head, enabling comprehensive detection of defects and dimensions. The first camera, while detecting dimensions, removes blade heads with incorrect orientation through the first set of rejection mechanisms. The subsequent two cameras detect both dimensions and defects, and the second set of rejection mechanisms removes defective products. This effectively separates blade heads with incorrect orientation, preventing incorrectly oriented but good blade heads from being included in the defective product list.
[0010] Preferably, the rejection mechanism includes an air jet pipe and a receiving box. The receiving box is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor belt, and the air jet pipe is located on the other side of the conveyor belt, facing the receiving port of the receiving box. The air jet pipe is connected to an air pump to generate a pressurized airflow that blows defective products and incorrectly oriented items into the receiving box.
[0011] Preferably, the tray-stacking mechanism includes a horizontal linear module, a vertical linear module, a sliding plate, a magnetic plate, and a gripping cylinder. The horizontal linear module is fixedly connected to the frame, the vertical linear module is fixedly connected to the slider of the horizontal linear module, the sliding plate is fixedly connected to the slider of the vertical linear module, the magnetic plate is slidably connected to the sliding plate, the gripping cylinder is fixedly connected to the slider of the vertical linear module, and the output rod of the gripping cylinder is drivenly connected to the magnetic plate, with the magnetic plate facing upwards from the conveyor belt. When the number of cutters blocked at the baffle plate meets the requirements for tray arrangement, the height linear module drives the sliding plate to descend and press against the support of the conveyor belt. At this time, the gripping cylinder drives the magnetic suction plate to press against the row of cutters and grip them with magnetic force. Then, the height linear module drives the magnetic suction plate to move upward, so that the cutter body is separated from the conveyor belt. Then, the horizontal linear module drives the magnetic suction plate to the top of the tray. Then, the height linear module drives the sliding plate to press against the tray. Then, the gripping cylinder drives the magnetic suction plate to move downward, so that the cutter body abuts against the tray. Then, the magnetic suction plate releases the magnetic force, so that the cutter body falls onto the tray. At the same time, the horizontal linear module drives the sliding plate to move forward a distance, pushing the cutter body to stick to the previous row of cutters. In this way, the cutter body is leveled. Then, the magnetic suction plate is raised, the sliding plate is retracted, and then raised and reset to complete one arrangement.
[0012] Preferably, the empty tray fixing mechanism includes an empty tray frame and two sets of empty tray clamping mechanisms. The empty tray clamping mechanisms are disposed on both sides of the empty tray frame. Each empty tray clamping mechanism includes a base, two clamping plates, and two clamping cylinders. The base is fixedly connected to the empty tray frame, the two clamping cylinders are fixedly connected to the empty tray frame, the two clamping plates are respectively fixedly connected to the output rods of the two clamping cylinders, and both clamping plates are slidably connected to the base. In this invention, the two clamping plates are driven by two clamping cylinders respectively. The tray is clamped between the two clamping plates. When the empty tray needs to be transferred to the required position by the tray conveying mechanism, the clamping plate located below the tray is driven by the clamping cylinder and retracts into the base, causing the tray to fall onto the tray conveying mechanism. After the empty tray falls out, the lower clamping plate resets, and the upper clamping plate retracts into the base. At this time, the lower clamping plate can be used to support the newly placed tray. When the new tray is placed, the upper clamping plate extends under the drive of the clamping cylinder to limit the new empty tray. The empty tray frame has several positioning rods for positioning the tray.
[0013] Preferably, the full-disc fixing mechanism includes a full-disc frame and two sets of full-disc clamping mechanisms. The full-disc clamping mechanisms are disposed on both sides of the full-disc frame. Each full-disc clamping mechanism includes a base two, a support plate, and an elastic element. The base two is fixedly connected to the full-disc frame, the support plate is slidably connected to the base two, and the elastic element is disposed between the support plate and the base two. The support plate of this invention has an inclined surface. When the tray conveying mechanism lifts the tray after it has been placed, the tray presses against the inclined surface of the support plate. Under the action of the inclined surface, the support plate overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element and slides into the base two. After the tray passes the support plate, the support plate pops out under the action of the elastic element and supports the tray from below. At this time, after the tray conveying mechanism releases the tray, the tray can fall onto the full-disc frame to await removal. The full-disc frame has several positioning rods for positioning the tray.
[0014] Preferably, the transfer mechanism includes a transfer tray, a lead screw, a motor, and two lifting cylinders. The transfer tray is slidably connected to the frame, the lead screw is rotatably connected to the frame, the output shaft of the motor is drively connected to the lead screw, the motor is fixedly connected to the frame, and the transfer tray is drively connected to the lead screw. The two lifting cylinders are respectively fixedly connected below the empty tray fixing mechanism and the full tray fixing mechanism. Lifting plates are fixedly connected to both lifting cylinders. The transfer tray has an opening for the lifting plates to pass through. This invention utilizes a motor-driven lead screw rotation to precisely control the forward and backward movement of the transfer tray. Starting with an empty tray, the transfer tray moves to below the empty tray frame under the action of the lead screw. At this time, the lifting plate on the lifting cylinder aligns with the opening. The lifting cylinder then drives the lifting plate to fit against the bottom of the empty tray. The clamping plate below retracts under the action of the clamping cylinder, and the empty tray falls onto the lifting plate. The lifting cylinder retracts the lifting plate, and during the retraction process, the empty tray falls onto the transfer tray. The transfer tray has a limiting frame and a mechanism for holding the tray. The clamping cylinder, pressed tightly against the limiting frame, positions and fixes the transfer plate. Then, the transfer plate moves the empty plate to the plate-swinging working position (below the plate-swinging mechanism). Each time a row of cutter heads is placed into the plate-swinging mechanism, the lead screw moves the transfer plate forward by the thickness of one row of cutter heads. After the plate-swinging is completed, the transfer plate moves the full plate to below the full plate frame. At this time, another set of lifting cylinders and lifting plates are aligned with the opening. The lifting cylinders lift the full plate upwards and then fix it on the full plate frame through the full plate clamping mechanism, completing one transfer cycle.
[0015] Preferably, a stop cylinder is fixedly connected to the front end of the tray-stacking mechanism. This invention utilizes the stop cylinder to stop the cutting head at the front end of the tray-stacking mechanism, thus preventing the cutting head from entering below the tray-stacking mechanism when tray placement errors occur. This allows the visual inspection mechanism to continue operating, thereby maintaining inspection efficiency and minimizing the impact of troubleshooting on efficiency.
[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0017] 1. The feeding mechanism continuously feeds the cutter heads into the arranging mechanism, which then feeds them onto the conveyor belt in a specific orientation. The conveyor belt passes the cutter heads through a vision inspection mechanism, which removes defective products and cutter heads that are incorrectly positioned. The cutter heads eventually stop below the tray-stacking mechanism under the obstruction of the baffle plate. When the number of cutter heads meets the tray-stacking requirements, the tray-stacking mechanism grabs a row of cutter heads and places them on the tray located on the transport mechanism. This process is repeated until the tray is full. At this point, the transport mechanism transports the full tray to the full tray fixing mechanism, and then removes the empty tray from the empty tray fixing mechanism and moves it below the tray-stacking mechanism for a new round of tray-stacking. This achieves the purpose of automatic tray-stacking, greatly reducing manual labor.
[0018] 2. By using a stop cylinder, the cutter head can be stopped at the front end of the tray-swinging mechanism. This prevents the cutter head from entering the lower part of the tray-swinging mechanism when tray arrangement fails, thus ensuring that the vision inspection mechanism does not stop working and does not affect the inspection efficiency, reducing the impact of troubleshooting on efficiency.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a blade inspection and tray-stacking device includes a frame 1, a feeding mechanism, a vision inspection mechanism, a tray-stacking mechanism, an empty tray fixing mechanism, a full tray fixing mechanism, and a tray-transporting mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding mechanism, an arranging mechanism, and a conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The feeding mechanism is connected to the arranging mechanism. The arranging mechanism is located at one end of the conveyor belt 2, and the tray-stacking mechanism is located at the other end of the conveyor belt 2. A baffle plate 3 is provided on the other end of the conveyor belt 2. The vision inspection mechanism is located between the tray-stacking mechanism and the arranging mechanism. The empty tray fixing mechanism and the full tray fixing mechanism are respectively located on both sides of the tray-stacking mechanism. The tray-transporting mechanism is located between the empty tray fixing mechanism and the full tray fixing mechanism.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism continuously feeds the cutter heads into the arranging mechanism, which then feeds the cutter heads into the conveyor belt 2 in a certain posture. The conveyor belt cutter heads pass through the vision inspection mechanism, which removes defective products and cutter heads that are not placed in the correct orientation. The cutter heads are finally stopped below the tray-stacking mechanism by the baffle plate 3. When the number of cutter heads meets the tray-stacking requirements, the tray-stacking mechanism grabs a row of cutter heads and places them on the tray located on the transport mechanism. This process is repeated until the tray is full. At this time, the transport mechanism transports the full tray to the full tray fixing mechanism, and then removes the empty tray from the empty tray fixing mechanism and moves it below the tray-stacking mechanism for a new round of tray-stacking. This achieves the purpose of automatic tray-stacking and greatly reduces manual labor.
[0035] The feeding mechanism includes a feeding belt 4, a pusher plate 5, and a storage frame 6. The storage frame 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the feeding belt 4. The pusher plates 5 are spaced apart on the feeding belt 4, and one end of the feeding belt 4 is located above the arranging mechanism. The feeding belt 4 is driven by a motor 27. The cutter heads are piled up in the storage frame 6, which is located above the feeding belt 4. When the feeding belt 4 moves, the pusher plates 5 on the feeding belt 4 drive some of the cutter heads from below the storage frame 6 to the outside of the storage frame 6, and then they are fed into the arranging mechanism as the feeding belt 4 moves. This process achieves feeding.
[0036] The arrangement mechanism is a vibratory feeder 7. The arrangement of the tool bodies is achieved by utilizing the vibration of the vibratory feeder 7 and the guide rail of the vibratory feeder 7.
[0037] The visual inspection mechanism includes three cameras 8, three light sources 9, and two sets of rejection mechanisms. Two cameras 8 face the sides of the conveyor belt 2, and one camera 8 faces the conveyor belt 2 from above. One set of rejection mechanisms is located between the first and second cameras 8, and the other set is located behind the third camera 8. The three cameras 8 respectively inspect the sides and top of the cutter head, enabling comprehensive inspection of defects and dimensions. The first camera 8, while inspecting dimensions, removes incorrectly oriented cutter heads through the first rejection mechanism. The subsequent two cameras 8 inspect dimensions and defects, and the second rejection mechanism removes defective products. This effectively separates incorrectly oriented cutter heads, preventing incorrectly oriented but good cutter heads from being included in the defective product list.
[0038] The rejection mechanism includes an air jet pipe 10 and a receiving box 11. The receiving box 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor belt 2, and the air jet pipe 10 is located on the other side of the conveyor belt 2, facing the receiving port of the receiving box 11. The air jet pipe 10 is connected to an air pump, which generates a pressurized airflow to blow defective products and products that are misaligned into the receiving box 11.
[0039] The tray-stacking mechanism includes a horizontal linear module 12, a vertical linear module 13, a sliding plate 14, a magnetic suction plate 15, and a gripping cylinder 16. The horizontal linear module 12 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The vertical linear module 13 is fixedly connected to the slider of the horizontal linear module 12. The sliding plate 14 is fixedly connected to the slider of the vertical linear module 13. The magnetic suction plate 15 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 14. The gripping cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the slider of the vertical linear module 13. The output rod of the gripping cylinder 16 is connected to the magnetic suction plate 15. The magnetic suction plate 15 faces upwards on the conveyor belt 2. When the number of cutters blocked at the baffle plate 3 meets the requirements for tray placement, the height linear module 13 drives the sliding plate 14 to descend and press against the support of the conveyor belt 2. At this time, the gripping cylinder 16 drives the magnetic suction plate 15 to press against the row of cutters and grip them with magnetic force. Then, the height linear module drives the magnetic suction plate 15 to move upward, so that the cutter body is separated from the conveyor belt 2. Then, the horizontal linear module 12 drives the magnetic suction plate 15 to the top of the tray. Then, the height linear module 13 drives the sliding plate 14 to press against the tray. Then, the gripping cylinder 16 drives the magnetic suction plate 15 to move downward, so that the cutter body abuts against the tray. Then, the magnetic suction plate 15 removes the magnetic force, so that the cutter body falls onto the tray. At the same time, the horizontal linear module 12 drives the sliding plate 14 to move forward a distance, pushing the cutter body to stick to the previous row of cutters. In this way, the cutter body is leveled. Then, the magnetic suction plate 15 is raised, the sliding plate 14 is retracted and then raised to reset, completing one arrangement.
[0040] The empty plate fixing mechanism includes an empty plate frame 17 and two sets of empty plate clamping mechanisms. The empty plate clamping mechanisms are located on both sides of the empty plate frame 17. Each empty plate clamping mechanism includes a base 18, two clamping plates 19 and two clamping cylinders 20. The base is fixedly connected to the empty plate frame 17, the two clamping cylinders 20 are fixedly connected to the empty plate frame 17, and the two clamping plates 19 are respectively fixedly connected to the output rods of the two clamping cylinders 20. Both clamping plates are slidably connected to the base 18. Two clamping plates 19 are driven by two clamping cylinders 20 respectively. The tray is clamped between the two clamping plates 19. When the empty tray needs to be transferred to the required position by the tray conveying mechanism, the clamping plate 19 located below the tray is driven by the clamping cylinder 20 and retracts into the base 18, so that the tray falls onto the tray conveying mechanism. After the empty tray falls out, the lower clamping plate 19 resets and the upper clamping plate 19 retracts into the base 18. At this time, the lower clamping plate 19 can be used to support the newly placed tray. When the new tray is placed, the upper clamping plate 19 extends under the drive of the clamping cylinder 20 to limit the new empty tray. The empty tray frame 17 has several positioning rods 32 for positioning the tray.
[0041] The full-disc fixing mechanism includes a full-disc frame 21 and two sets of full-disc clamping mechanisms. The full-disc clamping mechanisms are located on both sides of the full-disc frame 21. Each full-disc clamping mechanism includes a base 22, a support plate 23, and an elastic element 24. The base 22 is fixedly connected to the full-disc frame 21, and the support plate 23 is slidably connected to the base 22. The elastic element 24 is located between the support plate 23 and the base 22. The support plate 23 has an inclined surface. When the pallet conveying mechanism lifts the pallet after it has been placed, the pallet will press against the inclined surface of the support plate 23. Under the action of the inclined surface, the support plate 23 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic element 24 and slides into the base 22. After the pallet passes the support plate 23, the support plate 23 pops out under the action of the elastic element 24 and supports the underside of the pallet. At this time, after the pallet conveying mechanism releases the pallet, the pallet can fall onto the full-disc frame 21 to wait to be removed. The full-disc frame 21 has several positioning rods 32 for positioning the pallet.
[0042] The pallet transport mechanism includes a transport pallet 25, a lead screw 26, a motor 27, and two lifting cylinders 28. The transport pallet 25 is slidably connected to the frame 1, the lead screw 26 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, the output shaft of the motor 27 is driven by the lead screw 26, the motor 27 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, the transport pallet 25 is driven by the lead screw 26, and the two lifting cylinders 28 are respectively fixedly connected below the empty pallet fixing mechanism and the full pallet fixing mechanism. Lifting plates are fixedly connected to both lifting cylinders 28, and the transport pallet 25 has an opening for the lifting plates to pass through. The motor 27 drives the lead screw 26 to rotate, which can precisely control the forward and backward movement of the transfer tray 25. Starting from the empty tray, the transfer tray moves to below the empty tray frame 17 under the action of the lead screw 26. At this time, the lifting plate on the lifting cylinder 28 is aligned with the opening. The lifting cylinder 28 drives the lifting plate to fit against the bottom of the empty tray. The clamping plate 19 located below is retracted under the action of the clamping cylinder 20. The empty tray falls onto the lifting plate. The lifting cylinder 28 retracts the lifting plate. During the retraction process, the empty tray will fall onto the transfer tray 25. The transfer tray 25 has a limiting frame 30 and a material handling mechanism. The clamping cylinder 31, which presses against the limiting frame 30, positions and fixes the transfer plate 25. Then, the transfer plate 25 moves the empty plate to the plate-swinging working position (below the plate-swinging mechanism). Each time a row of cutter heads is placed into the plate-swinging mechanism, the lead screw moves the transfer plate 25 forward by the thickness of one row of cutter heads. After the plate-swinging is completed, the transfer plate 25 moves the full plate to below the full plate frame 21. At this time, another set of lifting cylinders 28 and lifting plates are aligned with the opening. The lifting cylinders 28 lift the full plate upward and then fix it on the full plate frame 21 through the full plate clamping mechanism, completing one transfer cycle.
[0043] A stop cylinder 29 is fixedly connected to the front end of the tray-stacking mechanism on the conveyor belt 2. The stop cylinder 29 can stop the cutter head at the front end of the tray-stacking mechanism, so that the cutter head will not enter the lower part of the tray-stacking mechanism when the tray arrangement is wrong. This allows the vision inspection mechanism to continue working, thus not affecting the inspection efficiency and reducing the impact of troubleshooting on efficiency.
[0044] In summary, the working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0045] 1. The cutter head is pushed into the vibratory feeder 7 by the pusher plate 5 on the feeder belt 4. The cutter heads are arranged by the vibratory feeder 7 and sent to the vision inspection mechanism for screening. Defective products and cutter heads with incorrect orientation are blown into the receiving box 11 through the air jet pipe 10.
[0046] 2. Place the existing empty material trays on the empty tray frame 17 manually or by a robot, and fix them by the empty tray clamping mechanism.
[0047] 3. The material tray is delivered to the starting position of the work by the tray conveying mechanism;
[0048] 4. The tray-loading mechanism descends to the working position;
[0049] 5. When the cutter heads are arranged in a row by the tray mechanism, the support plate retracts, and the entire row of cutter heads falls into the material tray by their own weight;
[0050] 6. Driven by the horizontal linear module, the sliding plate 14 moves horizontally to level the falling cutter head;
[0051] 7. After one row of cutters falls onto the material tray and is leveled, the tray conveying mechanism moves the material tray the distance of one row of cutters; the tray placement mechanism then places the second row of cutters, and so on until the material tray is full.
[0052] 8. After the tray is full, the tray conveying mechanism moves the tray to the full tray frame 21 and fixes it by the full tray clamping mechanism;
[0053] 9. The full tray is removed manually or by a robotic arm.
[0054] It should be noted that many specific details have been set forth in the above description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
