Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of automatic key cutting equipment, and particularly relates to a key tooth profile data recognition box with a foreign object removal structure. Background Art

[0002] Keys are essential items in people's daily lives. Key damage and loss are also common occurrences. Therefore, key duplication is an essential task. Currently, the commonly used key making devices on the market are mainly mechanical key processing machines, which are equipped with detectors. The detectors detect the contour of the original key, and then a milling cutter is further used to process the blank key, thereby making a key with the same contour as the original key. However, when using a mechanical key processing machine to cut keys, manual assistance is often required to position and process the keys, and the automation degree of key cutting is relatively low.

[0003] To solve this problem, electronic key processing technologies have emerged on the market. They read the tooth profile information of the key through an optical method and form electronic data for transmission to the processing mechanism. The processing mechanism realizes key making through 3D printing, machining, etc. based on the electronic data. The automation degree of the whole process is high, and the efficiency of key making can be effectively improved.

[0004] When identifying the tooth profile data of the key, it is necessary to take pictures of the key tooth profile part to obtain images for analysis and recognition. High requirements are imposed on the clarity and orientation of the pictures. Traditional ambient light cannot meet the requirements, so it is necessary to provide a closed and specifically illuminated environment for the camera. Thus, the key data recognition box came into being. The key data recognition box is generally arranged inside the automatic key cutting equipment, and only has one key insertion port facing outward. When foreign objects enter the recognition box, it is very troublesome to clean them. It is necessary for workers to go to the site to disassemble the machine and take out the foreign objects. During this period, the automatic key cutting equipment cannot work normally. Summary of the Utility Model

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. 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.

[0024] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:

[0025] Refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a key tooth shape data identification box with a foreign object removal structure, including:

[0026] A box body 1, a flip cover 2, and a flip drive module 3. An identification camera 9 is provided at the top of the box body 1. The box body 1 and the flip cover 2 enclose to form a cavity 10. The identification camera 9 faces into the cavity 10. An opening 4 communicating with the cavity 10 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. The flip cover 2 is movably arranged in the opening 4, and the flip cover 2 is rotationally connected to the bottom of the box body 1 through the flip drive module 3, so that the opening 4 can be opened or closed.

[0027] Furthermore, an object placement opening 11 for inserting a key is also provided on the box body 1. The object placement opening 11 communicates with the cavity 10. During use, the key is inserted into the cavity 10 through the object placement opening 11. The key is photographed by the identification camera 9 above the cavity 10, and the photo is transmitted to the control host, and the control host identifies the tooth shape information of the key.

[0028] It should be noted that it belongs to relatively simple computer image processing technology for the control host to identify and compare the key tooth shape data through the photos or videos taken by the camera, which is disclosed in the existing patent with the application number CN201711091755.7, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0029] In this embodiment, in the normal state, the opening 4 is in a closed state, and the normal tooth profile data can be recognized; when the control host detects that there is a foreign object in the cavity 10, the flipping drive module 3 drives the flipping cover 2 to flip through the flipping drive module 3, opening the opening 4, so that the object in the cavity 10 can fall out of the cavity 10, realizing the removal of the foreign object.

[0030] Further, the flipping drive module 3 includes a flipping drive member 31 and an opening cover cam 32. The flipping drive member 31 is fixed to the flipping cover 2. One end of the opening cover cam 32 is connected to the output end of the flipping drive member 31, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the box body 1. In this embodiment, when it is necessary to open the opening 4, the flipping drive member 31 works to drive the opening cover cam 32 to rotate. Since one end of the opening cover cam 32 abuts against the bottom of the box body 1, the opening cover cam 32 provides a reaction force to force the flipping cover 2 to rotate, so that the opening 4 is opened.

[0031] Further, the flipping drive module 3 further includes a torsion spring 33 and a rotating shaft 34. A first hinge protrusion 5 is provided at one end of the flipping cover 2, and a second hinge protrusion 6 is provided on the box body 1. The first hinge protrusion 5 and the second hinge protrusion 6 are connected by the rotating shaft 34, and the torsion spring 33 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 34. In the normal state, under the action of the torsion force of the torsion spring 33, the flipping cover 2 will be placed in the opening 4 to close the opening 4; when the flipping cover 2 is opened under the strong push of the flipping drive member 31, the torsion spring 33 will be distorted. When the flipping drive member 31 rotates in the reverse direction, the flipping cover 2 can be reset by the acting force of the torsion spring 33.

[0032] Further, the flipping drive member 31 is a reduction motor. Under normal circumstances, the torsion force of the torsion spring 33 on the rotating shaft 34 keeps the flipping cover 2 in a closed state. When the camera detects that there is a foreign object in the recognition box, the control host will issue an instruction to make the reduction motor rotate one or more circles. When the reduction motor rotates, it drives the opening cover cam 32 to push open the flipping cover 2, so that the foreign object in the recognition box slides out. When the reduction motor rotates back to the initial position, the flipped cover will be reset under the torsion force of the torsion spring 33.

[0033] Further, a first installation groove 21 is provided on the flipping cover 2. The box body 1 is further provided with a filter 20 and a backlight plate 30. The filter 20 and the backlight plate 30 are both fixed in the first installation groove 21. Since the filter 20 and the backlight plate 30 are located at the bottom of the cavity 10, the flipping cover 2 can drive the filter 20 and the backlight plate 30 to flip, avoiding the filter 20 and the backlight plate 30 from blocking the cavity 10 from the bottom, so as to facilitate the foreign object in the cavity 10 to fall out smoothly.

[0034] Further, the box body 1 includes a main housing 7 and a base 8. The base 8 is detachably connected to the bottom of the main housing 7. The opening 4 is provided on the base 8. The end of the opening cover cam 32 away from the flipping cover 2 abuts against the bottom of the base 8.

[0035] Further, the second hinge projection 6 is provided on the main housing 7.

[0036] Further, a second mounting groove 81 is provided on the base 8. The second mounting groove 81 is located above the first mounting groove 21. The box body 1 is further provided with a three-color LED board 40, and the three-color LED board 40 is disposed in the second mounting groove 81.

[0037] In this embodiment, the backlight panel 30 is used as the main light source, which can emit white light to illuminate the cavity 10, providing a basic lighting environment for the cavity 10, facilitating the clear shooting of the key by the recognition camera 9, and thus accurately recognizing the tooth profile information of the key; the filter 20 is disposed between the recognition camera 9 and the backlight panel 30 to filter the light emitted by the backlight panel 30 and adjust the lighting environment of the cavity 10, making the shooting clearer.

[0038] In this embodiment, the three-color LED board 40 is disposed between the recognition camera 9 and the filter 20. The three-color LED board 40 serves as a supplementary light source and can provide three different colors of light. One of the three colors of light can be used alone or any combination can be used to supplement the light of the cavity 10, enabling the recognition camera 9 to take photos of three different background colors, adapting to keys of different colors and different reflectivities, making the taken photos or videos clearer and the recognition of the tooth profile data clearer.

[0039] Through the above structural settings, the base 8 and the flip cover 2 can be modularized, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of accessories such as the three-color LED board 40, the filter 20, and the backlight panel 30.

[0040] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
