Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of feeding technology, specifically relating to a tray feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of plate-shaped parts, the detection of surface defects and subsequent loading processes are crucial. Existing tray loading mechanisms generally rely on manual visual inspection or a single camera to detect surface defects in plate-shaped parts, which presents the following problems:

[0003] 1) Low detection efficiency: It requires manual observation of each item or frame-by-frame shooting by camera, making it difficult to achieve rapid batch detection;

[0004] 2) Inconvenient loading after inspection: The inspected parts need to be manually transferred to the tray, which is inefficient and prone to human error;

[0005] 3) Detection blind spots: Traditional camera inspection can only observe one side of the part and cannot fully cover defects from multiple angles.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies such as single-sided inspection systems based on fixed cameras and visual inspection methods using handheld grippers to rotate parts suffer from drawbacks such as limited inspection angles, reliance on operator experience, and low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands of mass production.

[0059] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows:

[0060] In use, the part is placed into the placement slot 623 through the feeding component 4. Then, the two opposing second electric cylinders 624 are activated, causing the two clamping blocks 625 to move towards each other, clamping and fixing the part in the placement slot 623. The part is quickly clamped and fixed. The second servo motor 622 is activated, causing the rotating disk 621 to rotate, allowing parts to be placed and fixed in the placement slots 623 on the four sides of the rotating disk 621. While the second servo motor 622 drives the rotating disk 621 to rotate, the second camera 613 is activated to photograph the clamped part. Camera-based detection is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. This allows for rapid rotation and detection of the clamped part. Afterwards, when the moving component 1 moves the rotation detection component 6 past the vision detection component 5, the second servo motor 622 is activated again, causing the rotating disk... 621. The vision inspection component 5 is activated to perform a second inspection of the clamped parts. After the inspection is completed, the moving component 1 is activated to move the feeding component 4 above the tray component 7. The tray component 7 is activated to receive the parts clamped on the rotating inspection component 6. After receiving the parts, the loading component 3 is activated to move the tray component 7 backward, which can realize loading. During loading, other parts are placed on the conveying component 2. The conveying component 2 is activated so that the parts are inspected by the vision inspection component 5 when they pass through the vision inspection component 5, and then placed into the tray component 7 through the conveying component 2. This can improve the continuity of feeding and make the inspection efficiency higher. It solves the problem that the current tray loading mechanism is difficult to quickly inspect the batch of plate-shaped parts before loading, which affects the inspection efficiency of plate-shaped parts, and it is inconvenient to quickly place the parts on the tray for loading after inspection.
