It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0016] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a parallel robot vision sorting platform, as Figure 1-2 shown, including a material conveying device 1, a vision detection component 2, a parallel robot 3, and an automatic control system 4. The material conveying device 1, the vision detection component 2, and the parallel robot 3 are respectively electrically connected to the automatic control system 4.

[0017] In this embodiment, the material conveying device 1 includes a conveyor belt 11, a first detection sensor 12 provided at one end of the conveyor belt 11, and a second detection sensor 13 provided at the other end of the conveyor belt 11. Both the first detection sensor 12 and the second detection sensor 13 are photoelectric sensors. The vision detection component 2 is provided above one end of the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11, the first detection sensor 12, and the second detection sensor 13 are respectively electrically connected to the automation control system 4. When the material is loaded onto one end of the conveyor belt 11, the first detection sensor 12 detects the material. At the same time, the automation control system 4 receives the signal sent by the first detection sensor 12 and controls the conveyor belt 11 to stop moving. The vision detection component 2 identifies the color of the material. After the color of the material is identified, the conveyor belt 11 continues to move to convey the material to the other end of the conveyor belt 11. When the material reaches the other end of the conveyor belt 11, the second detection sensor 12 detects the material. The automation control system 4 receives the signal sent by the second detection sensor 12 and controls the parallel robot 3 to grasp the material, and classifies and places the material according to the color of the material. Practical training such as vision detection, industrial robot programming teaching, electrical control system design, and PLC programming can be completed, which is beneficial to the output of robot-related talents and the development of the robot industry.

[0018] In this embodiment, the vision detection component 2 includes a vision camera 21 provided above one end of the conveyor belt 11 and an annular light source 22 provided below the vision camera 21. The vision camera 21 and the annular light source 22 are respectively electrically connected to the automation control system 4. The color of the material can be identified through the vision camera 21. At the same time, the annular light source 22 can be used for illumination to enable the vision camera 21 to more clearly identify the color of the material.

[0019] In this embodiment, the automation control system 4 includes a PLC 41 and a touch screen 42 electrically connected to the PLC 41. The PLC 41 is also electrically connected to the material conveying device 1, the vision detection component 2, and the parallel robot 3. The PLC 41 can be used for programming, and the touch screen 42 can be used to display and operate the entire sorting process.

[0020] In this embodiment, a feeding assembly 5 for feeding materials onto the conveyor belt 11 is installed above one end of the conveyor belt 11. The feeding assembly 5 is electrically connected to the automated control system 4. More specifically, the feeding assembly 5 includes a mounting plate 51 provided above one end of the conveyor belt 11. A mounting block 52 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 51. A pushing space is provided between the mounting block 52 and the mounting plate 51. A pushing block 53 is arranged in the pushing space. The pushing block 53 is connected to a driving device 54 for driving the pushing block 53 to move in the pushing space. The driving device 54 is electrically connected to the automated control system 4. The driving device 54 is one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. A through hole is provided in the mounting block 52. A plurality of blocking rods 55 are uniformly arranged in a ring shape with the center of the through hole as the center on the top of the mounting block 52. A space for storing materials is formed between the plurality of blocking rods 55. The materials can pass through the through hole and enter the pushing space. When feeding the materials onto the conveyor belt 11, the driving device 54 can be used to drive the pushing block 53 to move, push the pushing block 53 to one end of the conveyor belt 11. After the pushing is completed, the driving device 54 drives the pushing block 53 back to its original position, and at the same time the next material passes through the through hole and falls into the pushing space.

[0021] Specific principle: During use, the feeding assembly 5 is used to feed the materials to one end of the conveyor belt 11. The first detection sensor 12 detects the materials. At the same time, the automated control system 4 receives the signal sent by the first detection sensor 12 and controls the conveyor belt 11 to stop moving. The visual detection assembly 2 identifies the color of the materials. After the color of the materials is identified, the conveyor belt 11 continues to move to transport the materials to the other end of the conveyor belt 11. When the materials reach the other end of the conveyor belt 11, the second detection sensor 12 detects the materials. The automated control system 4 receives the signal sent by the second detection sensor 12 and controls the parallel robot 3 to grab the materials and classify and place the materials according to their colors. Practical training such as visual detection, industrial robot programming demonstration, electrical control system design and PLC programming can be completed, which is beneficial to the output of robot-related talents and the development of the robot industry.
