[0022] The technical solution of the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, an intelligent tank sorting system includes a sorting device 2, a detection device 3, a sorting device 4 and a conveying system 5.
[0024] The sorting device 2 includes a feeding star wheel 202 and a variable pitch screw 201. The star wheel is evenly provided with multiple feeding slots around the circumference. The cans are transported to the feeding star wheel 202 via the upper production line. When the number of cans stacked in a continuous arrangement reaches a certain number, the feeding star wheel 202 rotates to feed the cans, which are then rotated to be arranged sideways for transportation and enter the variable pitch screw 201 one by one in an orderly manner. The variable pitch screw 201 is provided with a conveying slot for the cans to enter on its side.
[0025] The detection device 3 includes four groups of detection cameras 301 and a processor. The four groups of detection cameras 301 are installed on the mounting frame 1 along a cross. The four groups of detection cameras 301 are used to take pictures and detect the cans 6 transported in the sorting device 2, and send the monitoring information to the processor, which identifies the cans 6;
[0026] The sorting device 4 includes two groups of sorting star wheels 401 and a negative pressure pneumatic system. The surface of the sorting star wheel 401 has holes connected to the negative pressure pneumatic system. The processor controls the operation of the sorting star wheel 401 to suck the tank body 6 into the conveying system 5 for conveying as required; the conveying system 5 includes two groups of conveying lines 501, and the two groups of conveying lines 501 are connected to the corresponding sorting star wheels;
[0027] When the utility model is in use, the can body 6 is transported from the outside to the sorting device 2, and the sorting device 2 arranges the can body 6 neatly and gradually opens the spacing between the can bodies 6 for easy detection. The four detection cameras 301 of the detection device 3 take images of the running can body 6 and compare them with the patterns in the processor to determine the type of the can body 6 and transmit the information to the sorting device 4. The sorting device 4 transfers the can body 6 running to the sorting station to the corresponding conveying line 501, so that the can body 6 enters the corresponding production line. The entire sorting is an online process with high efficiency and accuracy.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the feeding star wheel 202 and the variable pitch screw 201 are driven to rotate by the corresponding servo motors. When the can bodies 6 are transported to the sorting device 2, the feeding star wheel 202 operates to make the can bodies 6 arranged sideways and enter the variable pitch screw 201 in an orderly manner, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the can bodies 6 and avoiding the extrusion caused by the simultaneous entry of two can bodies 6, which may cause failures.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the speeds of the feeding star wheel 202, the variable pitch screw 201, the sorting star wheel 401 and the conveyor line 501 are all controlled by PLC to match their respective speeds. After the operation of the variable pitch screw 201, the tank bodies 6 that are closely together are gradually separated, so that the camera can clearly capture the 360° appearance of the tank body 6 when shooting, avoiding obstruction caused by the small distance between the tank bodies 6.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the processor includes a host industrial computer, which combines the images taken by four detection cameras 301 (more than one detection camera 301 every 90°) into a complete image of the tank body at 6360° for recognition, and after comparing it with the standard image set in the host industrial computer, the host industrial computer recognizes and transmits the result to the processor, and controls the sorting star wheel 401 to sort
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the conveyor line 501 is of aluminum alloy frame keel chain specification, which improves the structural strength of the conveyor line 501.
[0032] In summary, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0033] 1. High efficiency and stability: Due to the use of the feeding star wheel 202 combined with the variable pitch screw 201, the tank body 6 can operate continuously and smoothly without stopping due to failure caused by extrusion;
[0034] 2. Convenience: Directly adjust the radial position of the sorting camera to match different cans6.
[0035] 3. Energy saving: Since the system uses a very low-power servo motor, the power consumption of the entire system is low.
[0036] 4. Long service life: The tank separation system can meet the requirements of 24-hour continuous uninterrupted operation.
[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
