[0024] The following combines Figures 1 to 2 , and describes an automatic weighing and photographing device according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0025] An automatic weighing and photographing device includes a robotic arm 1, a weighing member 3, a label printer 8, and a vision recognition component. A fixture assembly 2 is installed at the movable end of the robotic arm 1. A rubber pellet tray 5, a gold jewelry tray 6, and a finished product tray 7 are annularly arranged outside the robotic arm 1. The weighing member 3 is electrically connected to the label printer 8, and the vision recognition component is electrically connected to the robotic arm 1 and the fixture assembly 2 respectively;

[0026] The rubber pellet tray 5 is used for storing rubber pellets, the gold jewelry tray 6 is used for placing gold jewelry, the fixture assembly 2 is used for clamping rubber pellets, gold jewelry, and labels, the robotic arm 1 is used for transferring rubber pellets, gold jewelry, and labels, the weighing member 3 is used for weighing the weight of a single gold jewelry and a single rubber pellet and their total weight, the label printer 8 is used for printing a label containing the total weight of the gold jewelry and the rubber pellet, the finished product tray 7 is used for placing the label and the weighed gold jewelry and rubber pellets, and the vision recognition component is used for identifying the clamping position and the final storage position of the rubber pellets.

[0027] The operation process is as follows. The robotic arm 1 starts to rotate slowly, so that the fixture assembly 2 at its movable end is located above the rubber pellet tray 5. The visual recognition assembly recognizes the position of the rubber pellets in the rubber pellet tray 5, and then drives the fixture assembly 2 to clamp the rubber pellets. The robotic arm 1 continues to drive the fixture assembly 2 to rotate, so that the fixture assembly 2 is located directly above the gold jewelry tray 6. Then, it recognizes the position of the gold jewelry through the visual recognition assembly and drives the fixture assembly 2 to clamp the gold jewelry. The robotic arm 1 continues to rotate, and the clamping assembly transfers the clamped gold jewelry and rubber pellets onto the weighing component 3 for weighing. At this time, the label printer 8 can print a label containing the sum of the weights of the gold jewelry and the rubber pellets. The fixture assembly 2 clamps the printed label, the weighed gold jewelry, and the rubber pellets. Subsequently, the robotic arm 1 adjusts its position again, and the robotic arm 1 accurately places these items at the designated positions on the finished product tray 7.

[0028] Among them, through the precise recognition of the rubber pellet clamping position and the final storage position by the visual recognition assembly, and the precise control of the robotic arm 1, the entire work process is optimized to be smoother and more efficient, reducing unnecessary waiting and repetitive operations. Precise weighing and instant label printing ensure the accuracy of the weight information of each product, providing a strong guarantee for product quality control.

[0029] Through the above-mentioned automated process, errors caused by human factors can be eliminated, the time and errors of manual operations can be reduced, the production efficiency and accuracy can be significantly improved, and the problems of low production efficiency and low accuracy of traditional equipment, which require workers to perform operations such as weighing, printing labels, and transferring gold jewelry, are solved.

[0030] It also includes a flexible vibrating member. The movable end of the flexible vibrating member is connected to the rubber pellet tray 5, and the flexible vibrating member is used to vibrate the rubber pellets on the rubber pellet tray 5.

[0031] By vibrating the rubber pellet tray 5 with the flexible vibrating member, the rubber pellets are gently and evenly dispersed, effectively breaking the aggregation state between the rubber pellets and making them disperse on the tray, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the fixture assembly 2 in clamping individual rubber pellets.

[0032] Since the rubber pellets are evenly dispersed, the fixture assembly 2 can more easily recognize and locate individual rubber pellets during clamping, reducing the situations of misclamping or multiple clamping, and thus improving the overall operation accuracy and reliability.

[0033] The movable end of the robotic arm 1 is provided with a label suction cup, a glue particle suction cup, and a gold jewelry gripper. The label suction cup is used for sucking labels, the glue particle suction cup is used for sucking glue particles, and the gold jewelry gripper is used for gripping gold jewelry. By integrating the label suction cup, the glue particle suction cup, and the gold jewelry gripper at the movable end of the same robotic arm, the robotic arm 1 can quickly respond to different operation requirements without frequently changing tools or adjusting equipment. This greatly shortens the operation conversion time, improves the continuity and smoothness of the equipment, and thus significantly improves the production efficiency.

[0034] When it is necessary to clamp a certain workpiece, just start the robotic arm 1. The robotic arm 1 quickly rotates the movable end so that the corresponding clamping structure is located directly above a certain workpiece and clamps the workpiece, improving the automation degree of the equipment in this solution and reducing the operation difficulty and complexity.

[0035] The visual recognition component includes a first camera 42. The first camera 42 is installed at the movable end of the robotic arm 1, and the first camera 42 is electrically connected to the glue particle suction cup.

[0036] The first camera 42 can capture image information located below the first camera 42 in all directions and at multiple angles, so as to detect defects of the glue particles on the weighing piece 3 and determine the position information of the glue particles on the weighing piece 3, facilitating the clamping of the glue particles on the weighing piece 3, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of visual recognition and the accuracy of clamping operations.

[0037] The visual recognition component further includes a second camera 41. The second camera 41 is installed above the glue particle tray 5. The second camera 41 is electrically connected to the flexible vibrating member, and the second camera 41 is used to identify the position of the glue particles on the current glue particle tray 5.

[0038] The second camera 41 is installed above the glue particle tray 5. This position selection enables the second camera 41 to clearly capture the distribution of the glue particles on the vibrating disk, and to capture and analyze the position information of the glue particles on the current glue particle tray 5 in real time. When the camera recognizes that the glue particles are aggregated together, it can send a start signal to the flexible vibrating member, and the flexible vibrating member starts to vibrate the glue particles to make the glue particles more evenly distributed on the vibrating disk, ensuring the dispersibility and clampability of the glue particles.

[0039] The glue particle tray 5 and the gold jewelry tray 6 are both located at the rear side of the robotic arm 1, the finished product tray 7 is located at the front side of the robotic arm 1, and the label printer 8 and the weighing piece 3 are located at the left side of the robotic arm 1.

[0040] The robotic arm 1 and the clamping assembly cooperate with each other. First, it rotates to the rear side so that the fixture assembly 2 can grab the rubber particles and gold ornaments from the gold ornament tray 6 and the rubber particle tray 5 at the rear side, and then place them on the weighing component 3 on the left side for weighing. Then, it grabs the rubber particles, gold ornaments and labels and places them on the finished product tray 7, thus completing the process of grabbing, weighing and storing the gold ornaments.

[0041] Among them, the rubber particle tray 5, the gold ornament tray 6, the finished product tray 7, the weighing component 3 and the label printer 8 are all arranged around the outside of the robotic arm 1. This compact and reasonable layout design can effectively reduce the moving distance and waiting time of the robotic arm 1, enabling the entire automatic weighing and photographing device to operate efficiently within a limited space.

[0042] When it is necessary to replace the label paper, the weighing component 3, the finished product tray 7, the gold ornament tray 6 or the rubber particle tray 5, the operator can easily access these devices without having to bypass the robotic arm 1 or other obstacles, improving the convenience and safety of the operation.

[0043] The technical principle of the present utility model has been described above in conjunction with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present utility model and cannot be construed in any way as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts, and these embodiments will all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
