[0034] Now the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 4The specific embodiment of the intelligent rotary silo of the utility model shown comprises a base 1, a rotating table 3 rotatably mounted with the base 1 through a rotating power assembly 2, a material pushing assembly 4, a plurality of material storage modules 5, and a plurality of horizontal plug boards 6, wherein the material pushing assembly 4 is fixedly mounted on the base 1, and extends out of the upper end surface of the rotating table 3 and is rotatably connected with the rotating table 3, a plurality of material storage modules 5 are distributed and mounted on the upper end surface of the rotating table 3, and a plurality of horizontal plug boards 6 are slidably arranged on the rotating table 3, corresponding to the material storage modules 5 one by one. When the material pushing action is not performed, the horizontal plug board 6 extends below the material of the material storage module 5; when the material pushing action is performed, the material pushing assembly 4 pushes the horizontal plug board 6 located at the material pushing position to pass through the material storage module 5.

[0036] In the present embodiment, a rotating table 3 is provided, and a plurality of storage modules 5 are distributed on the upper end surface of the rotating table 3. The rotating power component 2 is utilized to drive the plurality of storage modules 5 to rotate, so that the storage of various types of materials can be realized. At the same time, the pushing work of the materials in the plurality of storage modules 5 can be realized through a pushing component 4, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that materials of different types and types require independently controlled pushing silos, which wastes manpower and time and is costly.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the pushing assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a pushing cylinder 41 fixedly mounted on the base 1, a pushing plate 42 arranged at the output end of the pushing cylinder 41, a pushing slot 43 arranged on the lower end surface of the pushing plate 42, and a cylindrical boss 44 installed on the horizontal insert plate 6. When the horizontal insert plate 6 moves to the pushing position, the cylindrical boss 44 on the discharge plate is clamped in the pushing slot 43.

[0038] When the rotating power component 2 drives the corresponding storage module 5 and horizontal plug plate 6 to the pushing position, the cylindrical boss 44 fixedly installed on the horizontal plug plate 6 is just stuck in the pushing slot 43, playing the role of latch positioning. When the pushing cylinder 41 extends, it pushes the horizontal plug plate 6 outward along the radial direction of the rotating table 3, thereby realizing the pushing of the material in the current storage module 5 for subsequent clamping by the robot. One pushing cylinder can realize the pushing work of all storage modules 5, which saves energy and cost.

[0039] As an implementation mode, the material storage module 5 includes a mounting block 51 mounted on the edge of the rotating table 3, and a material storage rack 52 fixedly mounted on the mounting block 51 in the vertical direction; openings for the horizontal plug board 6 to extend in and out are provided on both sides of the mounting block 51, a material discharge bin is enclosed between the mounting block 51 and the corresponding horizontal plug board 6, and a material storage bin is enclosed between the material storage rack 52 and the mounting block 51, and the materials in the material storage bin and the material discharge bin are connected in the vertical direction. It should be noted that the part of the horizontal plug board 6 inserted into the mounting rack 51 is provided with a groove 61 for placing materials, and the shape and depth of the groove 61 are adjusted and designed according to the size of the material, and the specific structure of the groove 61 is not elaborated in detail here.

[0040] The discharge bin is arranged below the storage bin, that is, the horizontal plug plate 6 is arranged at the bottom of the entire storage bin, and the horizontal plug plate 6 pushes out a material from the bottom of the storage bin in sequence. When the robot arm clamps the pushed out material, the horizontal plug plate 6 returns to the discharge bin, and utilizes the principle of free sinking of gravity, so that the material in the storage bin falls onto the horizontal plug plate 6, and the next material pushing action is performed. Of course, in order to ensure that one material is pushed out each time, the opening size on the mounting block 51 can be adjusted according to the size of the material.

[0041] As an implementation method, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a plurality of material storage modules 5 are arranged in a circular array on the upper end surface of the rotating table 3. The rotating power assembly 2 includes a rotating motor 21 mounted on the base 1, and a cam divider 22 connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 21; the output shaft of the cam divider 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating table 3. In this embodiment, a cam divider 22 is provided to ensure the accuracy of the rotation of the rotating table 3 and to ensure that the ejection mechanism can accurately and precisely eject the required materials. In this embodiment, there are eight material storage modules 5, and the cam divider 22 is an eight-division cam divider 22.

[0042] As an implementation method, two storage modules 5 located on the same diameter of the rotating table 3 are provided with the same type of materials. Eight storage modules 5 correspond to three types of nuts and one type of gaskets, and the storage modules 5 at diagonally opposite positions are configured with the same type of materials. This arrangement can ensure that a certain type of material will not be out of stock. While one storage module 5 is discharging, the diagonally opposite storage module 5 can be replenished, so that the same material can be discharged and replenished at the same time, which does not affect the normal operation of the equipment and reduces the probability and duration of downtime.

[0043] It also includes an AI image recognition module 7; the AI ​​image recognition module 7 is arranged on the base 1 corresponding to the material pushing position, and is used to detect the material information located at the material pushing position. The AI ​​image recognition module 7 includes a support frame 71 fixedly mounted on the base 1 and an AI image recognition sensor 72 mounted on the support frame 71. The material information includes the material model and the front and back of the material. It is used to determine the accuracy of the material and prevent the occurrence of material pushing errors.

[0044] In order to detect the position of each storage module 5 in real time, the present embodiment also includes a position detection module for detecting the position of each storage module 5, and the position detection module includes a proximity sensor installed on the storage module 5 and a position detection sensor installed on the base 1 corresponding to the material pushing position. When in use, the PLC is used to calculate the position of the nearest storage module 5 with material, and the rotation direction and number of the cam divider 22 are controlled to move the corresponding storage module 5 to the material pushing position, which saves energy while saving rotation time, and accurately and quickly positions and moves the storage module 5.

[0045] Take nut gasket 8 as an example. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the discharging process of using this intelligent rotary silo is as follows:

[0046] First, wait for the model of the gasket loading station to be delivered, determine the position of the required storage module 5 and the rotation direction of the rotary motor 21, wait for the rotary motor 21 to rotate into place, then extend the push cylinder 41 to push out the nut gasket 8, start the AI ​​image recognition sensor 72 to take pictures, determine whether the model of the nut gasket 8 is correct, whether it is placed upside down, and the nut gasket 8 is verified to be qualified, wait for the manipulator to pick up the material, the manipulator finishes picking up the material and returns to a safe position, the push cylinder 41 retreats, and the rotary bin discharge process ends, waiting for the next cycle. The entire pushing process is simple and reliable, and can ensure the accurate pushing of materials.

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. Obvious changes or modifications derived from the spirit of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
