Detailed Implementation

[0019] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of this application may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. Furthermore, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0021] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] To clearly understand the technical solution of this application, the application scenarios of the glue nail detection and sorting equipment will be explained first.

[0024] During the cell formation stage, electrolyte injection is performed twice. The first injection occurs after cell assembly but before the formation reaction begins, to initially wet the electrodes and separator, providing an ion-conducting medium for subsequent formation reactions. After the first injection, the injection port is temporarily sealed with adhesive pins, and the cell undergoes high-temperature settling. After settling, the adhesive pins are removed to release any accumulated gas inside the cell. New adhesive pins are then used to temporarily seal the injection port, and the cell undergoes high-temperature aging. After aging, a second electrolyte injection is performed to replenish the electrolyte consumed by gas generation or wetting. Again, new adhesive pins are used to seal the injection port after this second injection.

[0025] During the formation process described above, the injection hole needs to undergo multiple insertion and removal operations of the rubber nails. Each time the nails are inserted or removed, new rubber nails must be replaced to prevent electrolyte residue, electrode dust, and other impurities adhering to the surface and gaps of the old rubber nails from contaminating the battery cell. Therefore, each old rubber nail removed must be scrapped directly.

[0026] In related technologies, the rubber staples used in the formation stage are typically made of fluororubber (FKM). These staples possess characteristics such as resistance to electrolyte corrosion, high temperature resistance, and excellent sealing performance, but their manufacturing cost is also relatively high. If old rubber staples are discarded directly, it will increase the material costs of battery cell production and generate a large amount of solid waste, not only wasting fluororubber resources but also exacerbating the environmental pressure of solid waste disposal.

[0027] To reduce material costs, old plastic nails need to be cleaned and recycled. However, the cleaning effect of plastic nails is difficult to control, specifically in the following aspects.

[0028] First, cleaning the rubber nails is incomplete and inefficient. In related technologies, cleaning of rubber nails mostly relies on manual methods, which cannot effectively remove electrolyte residue, electrode dust, and other impurities adhering to the surface and crevices of the rubber nails. Furthermore, this method cannot keep pace with the high-speed, large-scale production lines used in batteries.

[0029] Secondly, the inspection of glued nails is inaccurate and inconsistent. In related technologies, the inspection of glued nails before reuse mainly relies on visual inspection. This method cannot accurately identify defects such as dimensional deformation (e.g., diameter expansion or contraction, or length deviation) and cosmetic damage (e.g., scratches on the sealing surface or missing edges). Furthermore, it lacks quantifiable inspection standards, and the inspection results depend entirely on the operator's subjective judgment, leading to the reuse of some defective glued nails. Reusing defective glued nails can cause several problems. First, the failure of the sealing structure can lead to poor sealing of the battery cell's electrolyte injection hole, resulting in electrolyte leakage and other quality issues. Second, deformed or damaged glued nails may not match the insertion structure of the injection hole, easily causing jamming or damage to the glued nail insertion equipment during insertion and removal, leading to production equipment failure and affecting production continuity.

[0030] Therefore, this application provides a glue nail detection and sorting device to solve some or all of the technical problems existing in the prior art. The glue nail detection and sorting device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the glue nail detection and sorting device provided according to some embodiments of this application includes a first transmission component 110 having a first transmission channel 110a for transmitting glue nails; a cleaning mechanism 200 located on one side of the first transmission channel 110a, the cleaning mechanism 200 being used to clean the glue nails; a second transmission component 120 spaced apart from the first transmission component 110, having a second transmission channel 120a for transmitting glue nails; and a transfer component 130 disposed between the first transmission component 110 and the second transmission component 120, for transferring the first glue nails... The cleaned glue nails in the first transmission channel 110a are transferred to the second transmission channel 120a and adjusted to a preset posture. The detection mechanism 300 is located on one side of the second transmission channel 120a and is used to detect the glue nails. The sorting mechanism 400 is located on one side of the second transmission channel 120a and along the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a. The sorting mechanism 400 is located downstream of the detection mechanism 300 and is used to sort the glue nails based on the detection results of the detection mechanism 300.

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, the first transmission component 110 is provided with a first transmission channel 110a, through which old glue nails to be cleaned can be transmitted to the cleaning mechanism 200, so that the cleaning mechanism 200 can clean the glue nails and remove impurities from the surface and crevices of the glue nails. Further, the cleaned glue nails are transferred from the first transmission channel 110a to the second transmission channel 120a of the second transmission component 120 by the transfer component 130. At the same time, during the transfer process, the transfer component 130 adjusts the glue nails to a preset posture, and then the second transmission component 120 transmits the glue nails in the preset posture to the detection mechanism 300, so that the detection mechanism 300 can detect the glue nails in the preset posture. Next, the second transmission component 120 transmits the tested glue nails from the testing mechanism 300 to the sorting mechanism 400 located downstream of the testing mechanism 300. The sorting mechanism 400 sorts the glue nails based on the testing results of the testing mechanism 300. The qualified glue nails are then recycled and reused. In this way, the old glue nails are effectively recycled and reused, reducing the material cost of the battery cells.

[0033] Specifically, the first transmission component 110 is used for the directional transmission of the glue nails. The first transmission component 110 can be a belt-type transmission component, a vibratory feeder-type transmission component, or a chain-type transmission component, etc. The first transmission component 110 has a first transmission channel 110a, which provides a directional transmission path for the glue nails, ensuring that the glue nails move along the preset trajectory of the first transmission channel 110a.

[0034] The cleaning mechanism 200 may include at least one of an ultrasonic cleaning component, a spray cleaning component, a jet cleaning component, and a brush cleaning component. The cleaning mechanism 200 is used to clean impurities such as electrolyte residue and electrode dust adhering to the surface and crevices of the adhesive nails. A cleaning station is provided on one side of the first transmission channel 110a, and the cleaning mechanism 200 is located at the cleaning station. The adhesive nails to be cleaned are transmitted to the cleaning station via the first transmission channel 110a, so that the cleaning mechanism 200 can clean the adhesive nails to be cleaned, and directly remove the adhesive nails from the cleaning station after cleaning.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 200 can be arranged above the first transmission channel 110a, and correspondingly, the cleaning station is located above the first transmission channel 110a. Furthermore, during the transmission process, when the glue nails are transmitted to the cleaning station via the first transmission channel 110a, the cleaning mechanism 200 can carry out cleaning operations.

[0036] The first transmission channel 110a has an output end for outputting glue nails, and the second transmission assembly 120 has a second transmission channel 120a for transmitting glue nails, and the second transmission channel 120a has an input end for receiving glue nails. A transfer assembly 130 is provided between the first transmission assembly 110a and the second transmission assembly 120a, and the working range of the transfer assembly 130 covers the output end of the first transmission channel 110a and the input end of the second transmission channel 120a. The transfer assembly 130 may include transmission components such as a robotic gripper, a vacuum suction cup, a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, or a vibration transmission track. The transfer assembly 130 is used to transfer glue nails between the first transmission channel 110a and the second transmission channel 120a, while simultaneously adjusting randomly oriented glue nails to a preset orientation.

[0037] The adhesive nail includes a sealing section 710 for sealing the injection hole and a clamping section 720 for clamping operations. The clamping section 720 and the sealing section 710 are integrally formed or fixedly connected. Along the transmission direction of the second transmission assembly 120, the preset posture can be that the clamping section 720 is located upstream or downstream of the sealing section 710; along the height direction of the adhesive nail detection and sorting equipment, the preset posture can also be that the clamping section 720 is located above or below the sealing section 710. Figure 6 As shown, along the transmission direction of the second transmission component 120, the preset posture refers to the clamping section 720 being located at the downstream position of the sealing section 710.

[0038] The inspection mechanism 300 is located on one side of the second transmission channel 120a. The inspection mechanism 300 may include at least one of a vision inspection component, an ultrasonic flaw detection component, and a laser inspection component. The vision inspection component may specifically include a single vision sensor, or multiple vision sensors arranged linearly or in a ring. The inspection mechanism 300 can detect whether the glue nail has defects such as impurity residue, structural damage, and dimensional deviation based on the glue nail in a preset posture.

[0039] The sorting mechanism 400 is located on one side of the second transmission channel 120a, and along the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a, the sorting mechanism 400 is located downstream of the detection mechanism 300. The transmission time required for the glue nails to be transferred from the detection mechanism 300 to the sorting mechanism 400 is greater than the output time of the detection result from the detection mechanism 300. The detection result from the detection mechanism 300 is used to indicate whether the glue nails are qualified. The output time of the detection result refers to the time required for the detection mechanism 300 to complete the acquisition of detection data and for the sorting mechanism 400 to obtain the detection result. The detection result can be directly output by the detection mechanism 300 after analyzing the detection data, or it can be generated by the sorting mechanism 400 after receiving the detection data and performing local analysis. Alternatively, it can be analyzed by an independent processing unit (such as a data analysis module) electrically connected to the detection mechanism 300 and the sorting mechanism 400, and then synchronously fed back to the sorting mechanism 400.

[0040] The sorting mechanism 400 can be a pneumatic sorting mechanism such as a jet-type or vacuum adsorption type, or a mechanical sorting mechanism such as a flip-plate type, push-plate type, or rotary indexing plate type, or a gravity sorting mechanism such as a chute type or vibrating screen type. The sorting mechanism 400 is used to sort rubber nails based on the detection results of the detection mechanism 300, so as to separate qualified rubber nails from unqualified rubber nails, and then realize the recycling of qualified rubber nails.

[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the transfer assembly 130 includes a carrier 131, a vibrating element 132, and a guide rail 133; the first transmission channel 110a has an output end 110b, and the carrier 131 is correspondingly arranged with the output end 110b; the vibrating element 132 is connected to the carrier 131 and is used to drive the carrier 131 to vibrate; the carrier 131 has a screening port 131a, the guide rail 133 is connected to the carrier 131, the guide rail 133 has a transmission groove 133a, one end of the transmission groove 133a is connected to the screening port 131a; the other end of the transmission groove 133a is connected to the second transmission channel 120a.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the carrier 131 of the transfer component 130 is correspondingly set with the output end 110b of the first transmission channel 110a to ensure that the glue nails output from the output end 110b can fall into the carrier 131. Then, the vibrating component 132 drives the carrier 131 to vibrate, causing the randomly positioned glue nails on the carrier 131 to roll and translate until they are adjusted to a preset posture through rolling and translation. The glue nails located near the screening port 131a then fall into the transmission groove 133a of the guide rail 133 through the screening port 131a, thus achieving the adjustment of the glue nail's posture. Afterwards, the glue nails adjusted to the preset posture are transmitted within the transmission groove 133a of the second transmission channel 120a, finally falling into the second transmission channel 120a, thus realizing the transfer of the glue nails from the screening port 131a to the second transmission channel 120a.

[0043] Specifically, the carrier 131 is positioned below or to the side of the output end 110b of the first transmission channel 110a. The carrier 131 can be flat, trough-shaped, or funnel-shaped. It is used to receive the rubber nails output from the output end 110b. The vibrating element 132 is connected to the bottom, side, or back of the carrier 131. The vibrating element 132 can be a columnar vibrating motor or a flat vibrator, etc. It provides directional vibration power to the carrier 131, causing the randomly positioned rubber nails on the carrier 131 to roll and translate through vibration.

[0044] The carrier 131 has a screening port 131a, which is located at the geometric center of the carrier 131, or at a location in the carrier 131 near the guide rail 133. The screening port 131a can be a circular hole or an elongated groove. The carrier 131 only allows rubber nails that have been adjusted to a preset posture to pass through. Rubber nails that have not reached the preset posture are blocked by the carrier 131 and continue to adjust their posture under vibration.

[0045] A guide rail 133 is connected to one side of the carrier 131 where the screening port 131a is opened. The guide rail 133 can be strip-shaped and extends along a straight line or curve. The guide rail 133 has a transmission groove 133a, one end of which is connected to the screening port 131a, and the other end extends to and is connected to the second transmission channel 120a, forming a continuous transfer path. The cross-sectional area of ​​the transmission groove 133a perpendicular to the transmission direction is adapted to the preset posture of the glue nail. During the transmission process, relying on the tilt angle of the guide rail 133, the glue nail is provided with a driving force along the transmission direction of the transmission groove 133a by gravity or the vibration transmission of the carrier 131. At the same time, the groove wall of the transmission groove 133a can limit the posture deviation of the glue nail, ensuring that the glue nail is always transferred from the screening port 131a to the second transmission channel 120a in the preset posture.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the glue nail detection and sorting equipment also includes a transmission component 140. The transmission component 140 is located on one side of the first transmission channel 110a. One end of the transmission component 140 is connected to the output end 110b, and the other end of the transmission component 140 is correspondingly disposed with the carrier component 131. The transmission component 140 has a transmission cavity for directional transmission of the glue nails. From the end of the transmission component 140 connected to the output end 110b to the end of the transmission component 140 correspondingly disposed with the carrier component 131, the cross-sectional area of ​​the transmission cavity perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission component 140 gradually decreases, forming a trumpet-shaped structure. The transmission component 140 is used for converging and guiding the glue nails, preventing them from scattering and falling. At the same time, it is also used to reduce the transmission speed of the glue nails through frictional damping of the inner wall of the transmission component 140, preventing the glue nails from rigidly colliding with the carrier component 131, thereby protecting the surface integrity of the glue nails.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the carrier 131 has a carrier surface 131b, which is disposed opposite to the screening port 131a. The carrier surface 131b is used to support the glue nails. The carrier surface 131b is recessed towards the screening port 131a and connected to the screening port 131a. From the direction of the carrier surface 131b to the screening port 131a, the cross-sectional area of ​​the area enclosed by the carrier surface 131b gradually decreases.

[0048] In the embodiments of this application, a bearing surface 131b is provided on the bearing member 131, which is opposite to the screening port 131a, to support the glue nails. Furthermore, the bearing surface 131b is recessed towards the screening port 131a and connected to it. Under the combined action of vibrational kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy at the recess of the bearing surface 131b, the glue nails can be directionally converged from the bearing surface 131b towards the screening port 131a, compressing the ineffective movement range of the glue nails and thus improving the efficiency of the glue nails converging towards the screening port 131a. Simultaneously, by gradually reducing the cross-sectional area of ​​the region enclosed by the bearing surface 131b in the direction from the bearing surface 131b towards the screening port 131a, the bearing surface 131b forms a progressive constraint on the attitude of the glue nails, reducing the glue nails getting stuck and needing repeated adjustments at the screening port 131a, and accelerating the speed at which the glue nails pass through the screening port 131a and fall into the transmission groove 133a.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inspection mechanism 300 includes a size inspection component 310 and an appearance inspection component 320; the appearance inspection component 320 is located on one side of the size inspection component 310 and along the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a. The appearance inspection component 320 is located at the downstream station of the size inspection component 310. The size inspection component 310 is used to inspect the size of the glue nail, and the appearance inspection component 320 is used to inspect the appearance of the glue nail.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the inspection mechanism 300 includes a size inspection component 310 for inspecting the size of the glue nails and an appearance inspection component 320 for inspecting the appearance of the glue nails, realizing comprehensive inspection of both the size and appearance of the glue nails and improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the glue nail inspection. Furthermore, the appearance inspection component 320 is arranged on one side of the size inspection component 310 and is arranged downstream of the size inspection component 310 along the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a, forming a progressive inspection logic of size inspection first and appearance inspection later. This allows glue nails that fail the size inspection to be exempted from appearance inspection, reducing the computational resource consumption of glue nail inspection.

[0051] Specifically, a dimension detection station is provided on one side of the second transmission channel 120a, and a dimension detection component 310 is located at the dimension detection station. During the transmission process, when the glue nail is transmitted to the dimension detection station via the second transmission channel 120a, the dimension detection component 310 can perform dimension detection on the glue nail. The dimension detection component 310 can be a laser displacement sensor detection component, a vision detection component, or a contact probe detection component, etc. The dimension detection component 310 is used to detect the dimensions of the glue nail, specifically the diameter, length, and cylindricity of the glue nail sealing section 710, the diameter of the glue nail clamping section 720, and the coaxiality of the sealing section 710 and the clamping section 720, etc.

[0052] A visual inspection station is provided on one side of the second transmission channel 120a. Along the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a, the visual inspection station is located downstream of the dimensional inspection station. A visual inspection component 320 is located at the visual inspection station. During transmission, when the adhesive nail is transmitted to the visual inspection station via the second transmission channel 120a, the visual inspection component 320 can perform visual inspection on the adhesive nail. The visual inspection component 320 can be a single-sided visual inspection component, a double-sided visual inspection component, or an ultrasonic inspection component, etc. The visual inspection component 320 is used to inspect the appearance of the adhesive nail, specifically to detect whether there are scratches, dents, bubbles, burrs, electrolyte residue, electrode dust adhesion, etc. on the surface of the adhesive nail, and whether there are cracks or gaps at the connection between the sealing section 710 and the clamping section 720.

[0053] Along the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a, the appearance inspection component 320 is located downstream of the dimensional inspection component 310. Specifically, the glue nail is first transmitted to the dimensional inspection station via the second transmission channel 120a, where the dimensional inspection component 310 inspects its dimensions. Then, the glue nail is transmitted to the appearance inspection station via the second transmission channel 120a, where the appearance inspection component 320 inspects its appearance. Further, after the dimensional inspection component 310 completes its inspection, glue nails that pass the dimensional inspection are further inspected by the appearance inspection component 320. For glue nails that fail the dimensional inspection, the appearance inspection component 320 can choose to continue inspection or not. Continuing to inspect glue nails that fail the dimensional inspection can be used for later analysis of the causes of dimensional and / or appearance defects. Not inspecting glue nails that fail the dimensional inspection reduces the computational resource consumption for glue nail inspection.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the detection mechanism 300 also includes a position sensor 330, which is located on one side of the size detection component 310 and along the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a. The position sensor 330 is located at an upstream station of the size detection component 310. When the glue nail passes the detection position of the position sensor 330, the position sensor 330 is triggered and sends a detection signal to the size detection component 310 and the appearance detection component 320. The detection signal is used to instruct the size detection component 310 and the appearance detection component 320 to detect the glue nail.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a is the first direction X, and the second transmission channel 120a has a second direction Z, which is perpendicular to the first direction X; the appearance detection component 320 includes at least two first visual recognition detection elements 321. Along the second direction Z, at least two first visual recognition detection elements 321 are respectively disposed on both sides of the second transmission channel 120a.

[0056] In the embodiments of this application, the appearance inspection component 320 includes at least two first visual recognition detection elements 321, and along the second direction Z, the at least two first visual recognition detection elements 321 are respectively disposed on both sides of the second transmission channel 120a to realize the detection of the appearance of the glue nail along both sides of the second direction Z.

[0057] Specifically, the first visual recognition detection element 321 may include a backlight power supply and a charge-coupled device (CCD). The first visual recognition detection element 321 is used to detect the appearance of the glue nail. Specifically, a visual inspection station is provided on one side of the second transmission channel 120a. The first visual recognition detection element 321 is located at the visual inspection station. The glue nail can be transmitted to the visual inspection station via the second transmission channel 120a so that the first visual recognition detection element 321 can detect the appearance of the glue nail on both sides along the second direction Z.

[0058] At least two first visual recognition detection elements 321 are respectively disposed on both sides of the second transmission channel 120a. For example, there are three first visual recognition detection elements 321. Figure 5 As shown, the three first visual recognition detection elements 321 are arranged in a ring. Along the second direction Z, two first visual recognition detection elements 321 are symmetrically distributed on the upper side of the second transmission channel 120a, and the other first visual recognition detection element 321 is correspondingly arranged on the lower side of the second transmission channel 120a. The visual detection ranges of the three first visual recognition detection elements 321 are interconnected and partially overlap, forming a complete coverage of the adhesive nail on both sides along the second direction Z.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transmission part of the second transmission component 120 corresponding to the second transmission channel 120a can be integrally molded or partially inlaid with a transparent material. The material of the transparent transmission part can be borosilicate glass, quartz glass, polycarbonate transparent sheet, etc., to eliminate the obstruction of the detection light by the second transmission channel 120a, so that the first visual recognition detection element 321 located on the lower side of the second direction Z of the second transmission channel 120a can acquire the appearance image of the glue nail through the transparent transmission part.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a is the first direction X, and the second transmission channel 120a has a second direction Z, which is perpendicular to the first direction X; the appearance detection component 320 also includes at least two second visual recognition detection elements 322, which are spaced apart along the first direction X, and are used to detect the appearance of the glue nail on both sides of the first direction X.

[0061] In the embodiments of this application, the appearance detection component 320 further includes at least two second visual recognition detection elements 322, and the at least two second visual recognition detection elements 322 are spaced apart along the first direction X along the second direction Z to realize the detection of the appearance of the glue nail on both sides of the first direction X.

[0062] The structure of the second visual recognition detection element 322 can be understood by referring to the structure of the first visual recognition detection element 321, and will not be repeated here.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, the receiving member 410 is disposed on one side of the second transmission channel 120a, and along the transmission direction of the second transmission channel 120a, the receiving member 410 is disposed at the downstream station of the detection mechanism 300, so as to accommodate the glue nails that have completed the detection. Furthermore, the receiving member 410 has a first receiving cavity 410a and a second receiving cavity 410b, and the sorting member 420 sorts the glue nails that pass the detection to the first receiving cavity 410a and the glue nails that fail the detection to the second receiving cavity 410b based on the detection results of the detection mechanism 300. This achieves physical isolation and containment of qualified and unqualified glue nails, avoids mixing, and also facilitates the recovery of qualified glue nails from the first receiving cavity 410a.

[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the receiving member 410 is located below, above, or to the side of the second transmission channel 120a. The structure of the receiving member 410 can be box-shaped, funnel-shaped, or drawer-shaped, etc. The interior of the receiving member 410 is divided into two independent cavities, namely the first receiving cavity 410a and the second receiving cavity 410b, which are arranged side by side along the length or width direction of the receiving member 410.

[0069] The first receiving cavity 410a can be rectangular, cylindrical, or conical in shape, and has an opening facing the output end of the sorting unit 420. The first receiving cavity 410a is used to receive and accommodate the qualified adhesive nails. The structure of the second receiving cavity 410b can be understood with reference to the structure of the first receiving cavity 410a, and will not be described further here.

[0070] The sorting component 420 is installed between the second transmission channel 120a and the receiving component 410. The output end of the sorting component 420 is aligned with the opening of the first receiving cavity 410a and the second receiving cavity 410b respectively. The sorting component 420 can switch the sorting path based on the detection result of the detection mechanism 300, and guide the glue nail to the first receiving cavity 410a or the second receiving cavity 410b, thereby realizing the automatic sorting of glue nails.

[0071] The sorting component 420 can be a mechanical pusher-type sorting structure, an airflow-guided sorting structure, or a rotating guide vane-type sorting structure, etc. For example, when the sorting component 420 is an airflow-guided sorting structure, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the sorting component 420 includes a first airflow guide 421 and a second airflow guide 422 arranged at intervals. The first airflow guide 421 is used to guide qualified glue nails to the first receiving cavity 410a by means of airflow, and the second airflow guide 422 is used to guide unqualified glue nails to the second receiving cavity 410b by means of airflow.

[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 200 includes an ultrasonic cleaning assembly 210; the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 210 has a cleaning chamber 211, and the first transmission channel 110a passes through the cleaning chamber 211.

[0073] In the embodiments of this application, the first transmission channel 110a passes through the cleaning chamber 211 of the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 210. The adhesive nail can be transmitted into the cleaning chamber 211 through the first transmission channel 110a, so that the cleaning fluid contained in the cleaning chamber 211 can clean the surface and tiny gaps of the adhesive nail under the action of ultrasonic waves.

[0074] Specifically, the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 210 includes a cleaning tank, an ultrasonic generator connected to the cleaning tank, and an ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic generator generates high-frequency sound waves (e.g., 20kHz-40kHz) and transmits the sound wave energy to the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank through the ultrasonic transducer, causing cavitation in the cleaning fluid and forming the oscillation and collapse of tiny bubbles. The oscillation and collapse of these bubbles generate impact force, achieving the removal of contaminants from the surface and crevices of the adhesive nails.

[0075] The cleaning tank has a cleaning chamber 211, which can be a cylindrical, cuboid, or conical closed cavity. The cleaning chamber 211 is used to contain cleaning fluid, and the rubber nails can be transferred into the cleaning chamber 211 via the first transmission channel 110a. Furthermore, the temperature of the cleaning fluid is controlled at 65℃-75℃ to enhance the ultrasonic cleaning effect without damaging the rubber nails. The ultrasonic cleaning assembly 210 also includes a level sensor for detecting the volume of the cleaning fluid and a water quality detector for detecting the quality of the cleaning fluid.

[0076] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 200 also includes a spray cleaning assembly 220, which includes a nozzle 221 located on one side of the first transmission channel 110a.

[0077] In the embodiments of this application, by providing a spray cleaning assembly 220 in the cleaning mechanism 200 and arranging the nozzle 221 of the spray cleaning assembly 220 on one side of the first transmission channel 110a, the nozzle 221 can spray cleaning medium onto the glue nails, thereby allowing the cleaning medium to peel off and rinse the contaminants on the surface of the glue nails and in the tiny gaps.

[0078] Specifically, the spray cleaning assembly 220 includes an inlet valve, a filter, a nozzle 221, and a drain valve. The filter is connected between the inlet valve and the nozzle 221. The nozzle 221 can be a fan-shaped spray nozzle, a cone-shaped spray nozzle, or a multi-hole spray nozzle, etc. The nozzle 221 is used to spray the cleaning medium (e.g., deionized water or cleaning fluid) flowing through the inlet valve and the filter onto the surface of the rubber nail in a spray form. This allows the cleaning medium to remove contaminants through its impact force and carries away the removed impurities using its flowability. Afterward, the sprayed cleaning medium is discharged through the drain valve.

[0079] Optionally, the glue nail detection and sorting equipment also includes a feeding mechanism 600 and a quantitative conveyor belt. The first conveying component 110 includes a chain fixture, a chain, gears, and a drive motor. The feeding mechanism 600 receives unwashed glue nails. The quantitative conveyor belt is connected to the feeding mechanism 600 and receives the glue nails from the feeding mechanism 600. It quantitatively conveys the glue nails to the first conveying component 110 at a preset conveying speed to avoid glue nail accumulation or insufficient supply. The chain, gears, and drive motor are connected by a drive mechanism. The rotation of the gears transmits the power of the drive motor to the chain, causing the chain to move along a preset path. Multiple chain fixtures are provided, spaced apart along the chain. Each chain fixture has an independent limiting groove to hold a single glue nail, preventing glue nails from stacking during transport and affecting the cleaning effect.

[0080] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the glue nail detection and sorting equipment also includes a drying mechanism 500. The drying mechanism 500 is located on one side of the first transmission channel 110a and along the transmission direction of the first transmission channel 110a. The drying mechanism 500 is located downstream of the cleaning mechanism 200 and is used to dry the glue nails.

[0081] In the embodiments of this application, the drying mechanism 500 is located on one side of the first transmission channel 110a, and along the transmission direction of the first transmission channel 110a, the drying mechanism 500 is located at the downstream station of the cleaning mechanism 200, so as to dry the glue nails through the drying mechanism 500.

[0082] Optionally, the drying unit 500 includes an air knife assembly 510, a drying assembly 520, and an air-cooled cooling assembly 530.

[0083] Along the transmission direction of the first transmission channel 110a, the air knife assembly 510 is located at the downstream station of the cleaning mechanism 200. The air knife assembly 510 is used to spray compressed air onto the glue nails to remove the cleaning liquid remaining on the surface of the glue nails.

[0084] Along the transmission direction of the first transmission channel 110a, the drying assembly 520 is located downstream of the air knife assembly 510. The drying assembly 520 includes a hot air blower, a drying tunnel, and a temperature detector. The first transmission channel 110a passes through the drying tunnel. The hot air blower is connected to the drying tunnel and is used to blow hot air into the drying tunnel to dry the glue nails located inside the drying tunnel. The temperature detector is used to detect the temperature inside the drying tunnel to prevent the glue nails from developing structural defects due to excessively high temperatures inside the drying tunnel.

[0085] Along the transmission direction of the first transmission channel 110a, the air-cooled cooling component 530 is located downstream of the air knife component 510. The air-cooled cooling component 530 is used to spray compressed air onto the glue nail to reduce the temperature of the glue nail surface and prevent condensation on the glue nail surface.

After cleaning and drying, if the testing mechanism 300 detects stains and condensation on the surface of the rubber nail, the testing result of the testing mechanism 300 is that the rubber nail is unqualified. It should be noted that the ultrasonic cleaning time is shorter than the drying time, and this time difference can be achieved by triggering the ultrasonic generator to turn off.

After cleaning and drying, if the testing mechanism 300 detects that the surface of the adhesive nail is clean and dry, then the testing result of the testing mechanism 300 is a qualified adhesive nail.

[0091] In one embodiment, the temperature of the cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 211 is set to 70°C, the frequency of the sound waves generated by the ultrasonic generator is set to 28kHz, the ultrasonic cleaning time is set to 30 minutes, the temperature in the drying tunnel is set to 70°C, and the drying time is set to 30 minutes. After cleaning and drying, if the testing mechanism 300 detects that the surface of the adhesive nail is clean and dry, then the testing result of the testing mechanism 300 is a qualified adhesive nail.

[0092] Optionally, the first transmission channel 110a is a ring channel to reduce the space occupied by the first transmission component 110; and / or, the second transmission channel 120a is a ring channel to reduce the space occupied by the second transmission component 120.

[0095] Optionally, the glue nail detection and sorting equipment also includes a hazardous gas detector and an alarm light. The hazardous gas detector is used to detect hazardous gases that may be generated during the glue nail cleaning process; when the hazardous gas detector detects hazardous gases, or when the glue nail detection and sorting equipment malfunctions, the alarm light is used to issue an alarm.

[0096] This application also provides a workflow for a glue nail detection and sorting device, which includes the following:

[0097] First, the used glue nails to be cleaned are collected into the feeding mechanism 600. The feeding mechanism 600 then transports the glue nails in an orderly manner to the quantitative conveyor belt, which then quantitatively transports the glue nails to the first transmission component 110.

[0098] Next, the glue nails to be cleaned are transmitted to the cleaning mechanism 200 via the first transmission channel 110a, so that the ultrasonic cleaning component 210 and the spray cleaning component 220 in the cleaning mechanism 200 can clean the glue nails.

[0099] Next, the cleaned glue nails are transferred to the drying mechanism 500 via the first transmission channel 110a, so that the air knife assembly 510, the drying assembly 520 and the air-cooling assembly 530 in the drying mechanism 500 can dry the glue nails.

[0100] Secondly, the glue nail in the first transmission component 110 falls into the transfer component 130 through the output end 110b. The transfer component 130 is used to transfer the glue nail to the second transmission channel 120a and adjust the glue nail to a preset posture.

[0102] Next, the inspected glue nails are transmitted to the sorting mechanism 400 via the second transmission channel 120a, so that the sorting component 420 in the sorting mechanism 400 sorts the qualified glue nails to the first receiving cavity 410a and the unqualified glue nails to the second receiving cavity 410b based on the inspection results of the inspection mechanism 300.

[0103] Finally, the qualified adhesive nails in the first receiving cavity 410a are recycled for reuse, and the unqualified adhesive nails in the second receiving cavity 410b are discarded.
