Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automated teaching equipment, in particular to a visual inspection and sorting teaching device. Background Art

[0002] Visual inspection and sorting teaching utilizes a ready-made visual inspection module in cooperation with a sorting mechanism to achieve the teaching function of sorting. Generally, multiple institutional devices need to be set up as a compact body for on-site teaching on a desktop. Existing visual inspection and sorting generally uses a visual camera in cooperation with existing automated equipment to achieve the function of separately conveying objects after visual comparison of the objects. The disadvantage is that most existing visual inspection and sorting teaching devices rely on relatively complex and expensive devices such as robotic arms. Therefore, it is very urgent to provide a visual inspection and sorting teaching device with a simple structure and lower cost. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a visual inspection and sorting teaching device, which can solve the problems in the above-mentioned current technology.

A slider is slidably arranged inside the box body. A first housing is arranged at the top of the column. A second housing is arranged at the top of the slider. It is characterized in that a driving component for driving the slider to slide is arranged inside the box body. A placement guide rail is arranged on one side of the first housing. A visual recognition camera is arranged on the placement guide rail. A discharge guide rail is arranged on one side of the second housing. A telescopic channel component is arranged between the first housing and the second housing.

[0005] A further technical solution further includes a controller. A plurality of infrared sensors are arranged on one side of the box body. The infrared sensors are used to identify the position of the slider. The visual recognition camera, the motor and the infrared sensors are electrically connected to the controller.

[0006] A further technical solution is that a mounting plate is arranged on one side of the box body. The infrared sensors are installed inside the mounting plate. The slider is opposite to the infrared sensors after moving.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the driving component includes a motor arranged on one side of the box body. A rotating shaft is power-connected to one side of the motor. The rotating shaft passes through the slider. The rotating shaft is in threaded fit connection with the slider.

[0008] A further technical solution is that an inclined plane is arranged inside the placement guide rail, so that the object has a slope when in the inclined plane, which is convenient for sliding down.

[0009] Further technical solution: The telescopic channel assembly includes a first cylindrical guide rail and a second cylindrical guide rail. The second cylindrical guide rail is slidably and fittingly connected within the first cylindrical guide rail. Fitting spheres are provided at the ends of the first cylindrical guide rail and the second cylindrical guide rail. The fitting spheres are respectively rotatably and fittingly connected to the first housing and the second housing through spherical structures.

[0010] Further technical solution: A chamfer is provided at the end of the second cylindrical guide rail located within the first cylindrical guide rail.

[0011] Further technical solution: A first inner cavity is provided within the first cylindrical guide rail, and a second inner cavity is provided within the second cylindrical guide rail. The first inner cavity and the second inner cavity are communicated.

[0012] Further technical solution: The spherical structure includes a connecting cover plate. The connecting cover plate is detachably connected to the first housing and the second housing. Inlets and outlets are provided at both ends of the fitting sphere. Inner holes are provided within the first housing and the second housing. A first spherical cavity is provided on one side of the inner hole. A second spherical cavity is provided within the connecting cover plate. The first spherical cavity and the second spherical cavity are spherically and rotatably and fittingly connected to the fitting sphere.

[0013] Further technical solution: An extension guide rail is provided on one side of the placement guide rail. The extension guide rail extends into the inlet. The first cylindrical guide rail and the second cylindrical guide rail are inclined towards the second housing.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: First, by setting the first cylindrical guide rail and the second cylindrical guide rail to be telescopic, and the fitting sphere spherically rotating within the first spherical cavity and the second spherical cavity, the slider and the second housing can still form a channel convenient for an object to slide down after moving, enabling the object to smoothly slide out from one side of the discharge guide rail after visual recognition.

[0015] Second, the device uses a relatively simple structure, avoiding the use of expensive equipment such as manipulators to achieve the sorting function. By visually recognizing the shape of the object through the visual recognition camera, and then associating the shape with the corresponding position of the infrared sensor, the controller can control the operation of the motor according to the shape of the object, moving the slider and the second housing to one side of the infrared sensors at different positions to achieve the sorting function of objects of different shapes.
