Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bellows feeding, and more specifically to a bellows robot visual feeding device. Background Art

[0002] A corrugated pipe is a pipe made of metal or plastic material with a corrugated surface. It usually has good flexibility and bending properties and is often used in pipeline systems that transport gas, liquid or solid particles. The corrugated structure of the corrugated pipe can enhance the pressure bearing capacity and flexibility of the pipe and is suitable for applications in various industrial fields.

[0003] The bellows robot visual feeding device is a special robot system used for visual identification and feeding of bellows on an automated production line. It usually captures the image of the bellows through a camera and transmits the image to an image processing system for processing and identification to determine the position, posture, size, and appearance color of the bellows, which facilitates the subsequent data entry and processing of the bellows.

[0004] However, the existing robot visual feeding device for bellows usually uses a robot with a gripper to pick up the bellows, and then places the bellows on a conveyor for feeding and processing. However, in the process of feeding the bellows, once the bellows is long or has a large diameter, the end of the bellows and the main body of the bellows are often greatly bent due to the problem of the center of gravity, which can easily cause damage to the bellows during transportation. Secondly, when feeding and conveying the bellows, a driving roller is usually used for feeding and conveying, which lacks certain anti-slip properties and can easily cause the bellows to slip due to improper operation, resulting in feeding failure, which causes great trouble to actual use.

[0005] And when the corrugated pipe is loaded, it is usually necessary to monitor the appearance of the corrugated pipe to facilitate the subsequent appearance measurement. However, during use, the visual sensor device is often exposed to the outside and is often interfered by impurities and dust. Once the camera at the bottom of the visual sensor device is blocked by dust and impurities, it is easy to affect the monitoring effect, which brings many inconveniences to actual use.

[0006] In view of this, we propose a corrugated tube robot visual feeding device. Utility Model Content

Then the electric push rod is used to drive the driving rod to cooperate with the cleaning strip to wipe and clean the camera, which effectively avoids the problem of dust and impurities blocking the visual detection of the bellows. It is simple to operate and more practical. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
