A rotating part is rotatably arranged in the middle of the button fixture. A button placement groove is arranged on the rotating part. A button is movably placed in the button placement groove. The bottom of the rotating part passes through the bottom of the button fixture.

[0006] Further, a plurality of detection sensors are arranged on the periphery of the rotating platform, and an induction block is arranged at the output end of the rotating platform corresponding to the detection sensors.

[0007] Further, the rotating platform includes: a driving motor, a transmission mechanism connected to the output end of the driving motor, and a turntable connected to the output end of the transmission mechanism. The clamping cylinder is arranged on the turntable.

[0008] Further, a plurality of clamping claws are arranged on the clamping cylinder, and the clamping surface of the clamping claws is circular.

[0009] Further, the structure of the bottom of the rotating part in contact with the clamping cylinder is a clamping part. The clamping part is cylindrical, and anti-slip lines are arranged on the cylindrical surface of the clamping part.

[0010] Further, the visual recognition mechanism includes: a visual camera suspended above the clamping cylinder, and a fill light arranged at the front end of the shooting surface of the visual camera.

[0011] With the above solution, the utility model obtains the image information of the button in the button placement groove through the visual recognition mechanism, and sends the obtained image information to the control system for recognition, so as to identify and judge the angular position of the current button. Then, according to the recognition result, calculate the angular value that the button needs to be rotated and adjusted, and convert the calculation result into a control signal and send it to the rotating platform.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0013] Figure 2 Structural Schematic of the Utility Model Figure 2 。 Detailed Embodiment

[0014] The following will describe the utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , the utility model provides a button rotation and alignment device, including: a rotating platform 1, a clamping cylinder 2 arranged at the output end of the rotating platform 1, a button jig 3 movably clamped at the output end of the clamping cylinder 2, and a visual recognition mechanism 4 arranged above the clamping cylinder 2. A rotating part 31 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the button jig 3. A button placement groove is arranged on the rotating part 31. A button 6 is movably placed in the button placement groove. The bottom of the rotating part 31 passes through the bottom of the button jig 3. When adjusting the rotation and alignment of the button 6, first place the button 6 in the button placement groove of the rotating part, start the visual recognition mechanism 4 to obtain the image information of the button 6 in the button placement groove, and send the obtained image information to the control system for recognition, so as to identify and judge the angular position of the current button 6. Then, according to the recognition result, calculate the angular value that the button 6 needs to be rotated and adjusted, and convert the calculation result into a control signal and send it to the rotating platform 1. Clamp the rotating part 31 by the clamping cylinder 2, and then start the rotating platform 1 to drive the clamping cylinder 2 to rotate at a corresponding angle, so as to drive the button 6 to rotate through the rotating part 31. After completing the rotation and alignment of the button 6, take away the button 6 through the picking mechanism and place the next button 6 to be adjusted, repeating the work process.

[0016] In some embodiments, a number of detection sensors 5 are arranged around the rotary platform 1, and an induction block 14 is arranged at the output end of the rotary platform 1 corresponding to the detection sensors 5. In some embodiments, the detection sensors 5 are photoelectric sensors. When the rotary platform 1 drives the clamping cylinder 2 to rotate, the induction block 14 will sequentially pass through each photoelectric sensor, so as to judge the position of the induction block 14, thereby detecting the angular rotation amount of the button 6 in real time. A limit block 51 is arranged beside the detection sensor 5 at the rotation limit position. When the rotary platform 1 drives the clamping cylinder 2 to move to the limit position, while the detection sensor 5 sends a corresponding detection signal to the control system, the movement of the induction block 14 can be restricted by the limit block 51, so as to limit the rotation of the rotary platform 1 and avoid excessive rotation of the rotary platform 1.

[0017] In some embodiments, the rotary platform 1 includes: a driving motor 11, a transmission mechanism 12 connected to the output end of the driving motor 11, and a turntable 13 connected to the output end of the transmission mechanism 12. The clamping cylinder 2 is arranged on the turntable 13. By starting the driving motor 11 and driving the turntable 13 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 12, the rotation of the clamping cylinder 2 can be driven, and when the clamping cylinder 2 clamps and fixes the rotating part 31, the angular position of the button 6 placed in the button placement groove can be adjusted.

[0018] In some embodiments, a number of clamping claws are arranged on the clamping cylinder 2, and the clamping surface of the clamping claws is circular. In some embodiments, the number of clamping claws on the clamping cylinder 2 is two claws, three claws or four claws. Since the structural size of the button 6 is small and the structure of the rotating part 31 is also relatively small, it is preferably to use a two-claw cylinder as the clamping cylinder 2 to meet the clamping requirements and reduce the corresponding cost investment and maintenance difficulty.

[0019] In some embodiments, the structure of the bottom of the rotating part 31 in contact with the clamping cylinder 2 is a clamping part 311. The clamping part 311 is cylindrical, and the cylindrical surface of the clamping part 311 is provided with anti-slip lines to prevent slipping after the clamping cylinder 2 clamps the rotating part 31 and affect the angle adjustment effect of the button 6.

[0020] In some embodiments, the visual recognition mechanism 4 includes: a visual camera 41 suspended above the clamping cylinder 2 and a supplementary light 42 arranged at the front end of the shooting surface of the visual camera 41. By providing a light source through the supplementary light 42, it is convenient for the visual camera 41 to obtain a clear image details of the button, and the obtained image information is fed back to the control system, so that the control system can identify the angular direction of the button 6 in the image information to meet the requirement of rotating and aligning the button 6.

[0021] In summary, the present utility model obtains the image information of the button in the button placement groove through the visual recognition mechanism, and sends the obtained image information to the control system for recognition, so as to identify and judge the angular position of the current button. Then, according to the recognition result, the angle value required for the button to be rotated and adjusted is calculated, and the calculation result is converted into a control signal and sent to the rotating platform. The rotating part is clamped by the clamping cylinder, and then the rotating platform is started to drive the clamping cylinder to rotate by a corresponding angle, so as to drive the button to rotate through the rotating part.

[0022] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
