A guide rod 10 is connected to the customized frame at the other end of the turntable 2, and a mounting block 11 is connected to the inner surface of one end of the guide rod 10. An electric telescopic rod 12 is connected to the bottom surface of the mounting block 11, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 12 passes through the mounting block 11. An unqualified bin 13 is placed at the bottom end of the guide rod 10, and a good bin 14 is connected to one side surface of the unqualified bin 13. The bottom of the loading bin 4 is inclined at a certain angle to facilitate the automatic sliding of the chopsticks 7. The turntable 2 is driven by a chain, and each chain link has a positioning groove in the form of a gear for holding the chopsticks 7. An electric control box is arranged under the customized frame, and the PLC control switch, power supply, input and output modules, etc. are arranged in the electric control box.
[0024] Preferably, the turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the equipment frame 1 , and the output end of the first motor 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the turntable 2 .
[0025] During specific use, the output end of the first motor 3 can drive the turntable 2 to rotate on the equipment rack 1 .
[0026] Preferably, the brush wheel 6 is rotationally connected to the loading bin 4 , and the output end of the second motor 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the brush wheel 6 .
[0027] During specific use, the output end of the second motor 5 can drive the brush wheel 6 to rotate in the loading bin 4 .
[0028] Preferably, the first motor 3, the second motor 5, the industrial camera 8, the display screen 9 and the electric telescopic rod 12 are electrically connected to an external power supply via a PLC control switch.
[0029] During specific use, the first motor 3, the second motor 5, the industrial camera 8, the display screen 9 and the electric telescopic rod 12 can be controlled by a PLC control switch.
[0030] Preferably, the size and position of the guide rod 10 match the size and position of the turntable 2 .
[0031] During specific use, when the turntable 2 is rotating, the chopsticks 7 in the positioning notches on the turntable 2 will automatically move to the material guide rod 10 , so that the chopsticks 7 will roll on the material guide rod 10 .
[0032] Preferably, the positions of the unqualified bin 13 and the qualified bin 14 match the position of the guide rod 10 .
[0033] During specific use, when the chopsticks 7 on the guide rod 10 roll to the end, they will slide into the good product bin 14 for collection. When unqualified products appear, the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 12 on the guide rod 10 will block the chopsticks 7, so that the chopsticks 7 can slide from the guide rod 10 into the unqualified bin 13 for collection.
[0034] Working principle: When using the chopstick visual quality inspection mechanism, the operator puts the cleaned chopsticks 7 into the loading bin 4, starts the first motor 3, and allows the output end of the first motor 3 to drive the turntable 2 to rotate, and starts the second motor 5 at the same time, and allows the output end of the second motor 5 to drive the brush wheel 6 to rotate, so that when the turntable 2 rotates, the chopsticks 7 in the loading bin 4 will be stuck in the positioning notch of the turntable 2. When there is more than one chopstick 7 at the positioning notch, the brush wheel 6 will brush off the excess chopsticks 7 by rotating, so as to avoid multiple chopsticks 7 being stuck in the positioning notch on the turntable 2. In this way, when the turntable 2 passes When the rotation drives the chopsticks 7 to move to the lower end of the industrial camera 8, the industrial camera 8 will take pictures of the end, head and middle of the chopsticks 7, and the taken pictures will be displayed on the display screen 9, so that the comparison picture of each picture taken on the display screen 9 and the reference picture can be seen, so that the quality inspection operation of the chopsticks 7 is automatically completed according to the set program, and the turntable 2 continues to rotate, so that the chopsticks 7 will move to the position of the guide rod 10. When the chopsticks 7 continue to rotate downward, they will be blocked by the guide rod 10, so that the chopsticks 7 will be separated from the positioning notch on the turntable 2, and the chopsticks 7 will move to the guide rod 10, because the guide rod The structure 10 is an arc structure, so the chopsticks 7 will roll on the guide rod 10. When rolling to the end, the good chopsticks 7 will fall into the good product bin 14 for collection. When the industrial camera 8 takes pictures of the chopsticks 7 again and compares them, if unqualified products appear, according to the setting of the program, the PLC control switch will start the electric telescopic rod 12 on the mounting block 11, so that the output end of the electric telescopic rod 12 extends into the mounting block 11. In this way, when the unqualified products roll on the guide rod 10, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 12 will block the rolling track of the unqualified chopsticks 7, so that the unqualified chopsticks 7 collide with the output end of the electric telescopic rod 12. After the unqualified chopsticks 7 are removed, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 12 will be reset, so that the subsequent good chopsticks 7 can continue to roll into the good bin 14. This operation can automatically remove the unqualified chopsticks 7, and thus automatically complete the inspection operation of the chopsticks 7, and automatically remove the unqualified chopsticks 7, which brings convenience to the quality inspection operation of the chopsticks 7, improves the inspection efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of the operator.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
