[0035] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0037] As described in the background technology, when the cutting machine of the related technology is set in the production line of silicon rods, the cutting machine will transport the cut silicon segments to the conveyor rack in sequence. By setting a robot in the middle of the conveyor rack, the robot is used to grab the silicon rods on the conveyor rack and move them to the next processing equipment in the product production line.

[0038] However, when there is a position deviation between the silicon segment transported to the conveyor rack and the robot arm, the robot arm will be unable to clamp the middle part of the silicon segment. Because the silicon segment has a uniform shape, when the silicon segment is large and heavy, the center of gravity of the silicon segment on the robot arm may be unstable, causing the silicon segment to slip from the inside of the robot arm. If the silicon segment slips, it may be damaged, making the damaged silicon segment unusable.

[0039] In response to the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an automated product centering device and a product production line. When a product is conveyed to multiple conveyor rollers of a conveyor rack, a sensor detects a first distance between one end of the product and the first end of the conveyor rack, and detects a second distance between the other end of the product and the second end of the conveyor rack. By comparing the first distance and the second distance, when the first distance is greater than the second distance, a driving mechanism drives the multiple conveyor rollers to rotate, so that the multiple conveyor rollers drive the product forward. When the first distance is less than the second distance, the driving mechanism drives the multiple conveyor rollers to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the multiple conveyor rollers drive the product backward. When the first distance is equal to the second distance, the driving mechanism stops driving the multiple conveyor rollers. At this time, the product is located in the middle of the conveyor rack, and there is no need to manually drive the product to the middle of the conveyor rack, and there is no need to manually calculate the centering position of the product, thereby saving manpower; the robot located in the middle of the conveyor rack can grab the product located in the middle of the conveyor rack, thereby preventing the position deviation between the product and the robot, thereby improving the accuracy of the robot in gripping the middle of the product, preventing the product from falling due to unstable center of gravity on the robot, and thus preventing product damage.

[0040] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Combine Figures 1 to 3 An automated product centering device includes a conveyor frame 100, a driving mechanism 200, and a detection mechanism 300. The driving mechanism 200 is disposed on the conveyor frame 100 and is configured to drive a product 400 forward or backward on the conveyor frame 100.

[0042] The detection mechanism 300 is set on the conveyor frame 100, and the two ends of the conveyor frame 100 are set as the first end 110 and the second end 120. There is a first distance 130 between the first end 110 and one end of the product 400, and there is a second distance 140 between the second end 120 and the other end of the product 400. The detection mechanism 300 is configured to detect the first distance 130 and the second distance 140, and when the first distance 130 is less than or greater than the second distance 140, control the driving mechanism 200 to drive the product 400 forward or backward so that the first distance 130 is equal to the second distance.

[0043] In this embodiment, the product 400 is configured as a silicon segment, and the silicon segment is configured in a cylindrical shape as a whole; the first end 110 is provided at the end of the conveyor frame 100 for receiving the product 400, and the second end 120 is provided at the end of the conveyor frame 100 for outputting the product 400; when the first spacing 130 is greater than the second spacing 140, the product 400 is located near the second end 120, and at this time the driving mechanism 200 drives the product 400 backward; when the first spacing 130 is less than the second spacing 140, the product 400 is located near the first end 110, and at this time the driving mechanism 200 drives the product 400 forward.

[0044] In other embodiments, the product 400 can be replaced with other products 400 that need to be conveyed; or when the difference between the first spacing 130 and the second spacing 140 is between negative 1.5 cm and positive 1.5 cm, the driving mechanism 200 can stop driving the product 400 to move, so that the product 400 has an error within an allowable range on the conveying rack 100.

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution and the setting of the detection mechanism 300, the first spacing 130 between one end of the product 400 and the first end 110 of the conveyor 100 can be detected, and the second spacing 140 between the other end of the product 400 and the second end 120 of the conveyor 100 can be detected. By comparing the first spacing 130 and the second spacing 140, when the first spacing 130 is greater than the second spacing 140, the driving mechanism 200 drives the product 400 to retreat. When the first spacing 130 is less than the second spacing 140, the driving mechanism 200 drives the product 400 to advance. When the first spacing 130 is equal to the second spacing 140, the driving mechanism 200 stops driving the product 400. The product 400 is moved so that it is located in the middle of the conveyor rack 100. There is no need to manually drive the product 400 to move to the middle of the conveyor rack 100, thereby saving manpower; by driving the product 400 to the middle of the conveyor rack 100, the position offset between the robot in the middle of the conveyor rack 100 and the product 400 on the conveyor rack 100 can be prevented, thereby improving the accuracy of the robot gripping the middle of the product 400, preventing the product 400 from falling on the robot due to unstable center of gravity, thereby preventing damage to the product 400; and through the setting of the detection mechanism 300, compared with the method of manual visual observation of the product 400, the error of manual detection is reduced, thereby improving the accuracy of moving the product 400 to the middle of the conveyor rack 100.

[0046] Combine Figures 1 to 3 The detection mechanism 300 includes two detection components 310, which are respectively arranged at the first end 110 and the second end 120 of the conveyor frame 100. One detection component 310 is used to detect the first spacing 130, and the other detection component 310 is used to detect the second spacing 140.

[0047] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up two detection components 310, the two detection components 310 can be respectively located at the first end 110 and the second end 120 to detect the first spacing 130 and the second spacing 140, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection of the first spacing 130 and the second spacing 140.

[0048] Combine Figures 1 to 3 , the detection component 310 includes a sensor.

[0049] In this embodiment, the sensor is set as an infrared sensor, and the detection component 310 also includes a digital display micro switch, which is electrically connected to the sensor. In actual applications, if it is necessary to combine the digital display micro switch with the sensor, the digital display micro switch is used to trigger the sensor to measure, or to indicate the start and end of the sensor measurement; when the digital display micro switch detects that the product 400 is conveyed to the conveyor rack 100, the sensor is turned on to detect the distance, and the detection result is displayed on the display screen of the digital display micro switch.

[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensor can accurately measure the distance between the target object and the sensor by using the sensor to detect the distance between the sensor and the product 400; the sensor has a fast response time and can promptly perceive the changes in the distance between the sensor and the product 400; the sensor can adapt to measurement needs in different environments, and can effectively measure distance whether indoors or outdoors and under different weather conditions; the sensor has a rich interface selection and can be easily connected to various devices; the sensor can perform measurements without contacting the product 400, thereby preventing impact on the transportation of the product 400; the sensor has good adaptability to the reflection and scattering characteristics of different objects, and can perform stable measurements under various materials and surface conditions.

[0051] Combine Figures 1 to 3 Two support frames 150 are provided on the conveyor frame 100, and two detection components 310 are respectively provided on the two support frames 150. At least one support frame 150 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 180, and the adjustment mechanism 180 is used to drive the detection component 310 to move so that the detection component 310 is relative to or detached from the end of the product 400.

[0052] In this embodiment, one of the support frames 150 is arranged on the side of the first end 110 of the conveying frame 100, and the other support frame 150 is arranged at the end of the second end 120 of the conveying frame 100.

[0053] In other embodiments, the shape of the support frame 150 can be adaptively adjusted as needed, for example, the support frame 150 can be set to a "T" shape.

[0054] By adopting the above technical solution, the support frame 150 is used to support the detection component 310, so that the detection component 310 can be better opposite to the end of the product 400, and indirectly improve the strength of the detection component 310 fixed on the conveyor frame 100; by adopting the adjustment mechanism 180, when the product 400 is located in the production line and is conveyed, there is no need to detect the first spacing 130 and the second spacing 140. The adjustment mechanism 180 drives the product 400 away from the end of the product 400, thereby preventing the detection component 310 from affecting the conveying of the product 400, and when the product 400 is irregular, the position of the product 400 is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 180, so that the detection component 310 can detect the irregular product 400, which indirectly improves the applicability of the automated product centering device.

[0055] Combine Figures 1 to 3 The adjustment mechanism 180 includes a cylinder 181 , which is disposed on the support frame 150 , and the detection assembly 310 is disposed on the driving end of the cylinder 181 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the cylinder 181 is arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0057] In other embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 180 may be replaced by an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0058] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder 181 has a simple structure, is easy to maintain, and can work even without power supply, with high reliability; the cylinder 181 can achieve rapid start and stop, and is suitable for occasions requiring rapid response; the cylinder 181 uses air as the working medium, which is more environmentally friendly than other media such as hydraulic oil, and is less likely to cause fire; the cylinder 181 has strong adaptability to the environment and can work in harsh environments such as high temperature, dust, and humidity; the cylinder 181 can achieve precise position and speed control, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy of the position of the detection component 310.

[0059] Combine Figures 1 to 3The automated product centering device further includes a protective cover 500 . The protective cover 500 is provided on each of the two detection components 310 , and the protective cover 500 is used to cover the detection components 310 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the protective cover 500 is set in a rectangular shape. The protective cover 500 can be a fully enclosed setting, or the opposite surfaces of the transmitting end and the receiving end of the sensor on the closed cover can be set to be open, and the protective cover 500 can be set to be fully transparent; the sensor is set in the protective cover 500, and the protective cover 500 is set on the driving end of the cylinder 181, and the sensor is set on the driving end of the cylinder 181 through the protective cover 500.

[0061] In other embodiments, the shape of the protective cover 500 can be adaptively adjusted as needed, for example, the protective cover can be set to be spherical, and the material of the protective cover 500 can be adaptively selected as needed, for example, the protective cover 500 can be set to be a plastic cover or a glass cover.

[0062] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective cover 500 can prevent pollutants such as dust, water vapor, soot and particulate matter from affecting the detection component 310, keep the detection component 310 clean, and thus ensure measurement accuracy and stability; the protective cover 500 can protect the detection component 310 from external force impact and mechanical damage, and by preventing environmental factors from affecting the detection component 310, the protective cover 500 helps to improve the measurement stability and reliability of the sensor; the protective cover 500 can reduce the wear of the detection component 310 and extend its service life; the protective cover 500 enables the sensor to work in harsh environments, such as high temperature, humidity and chemical corrosion environments.

[0063] Combine Figures 1 to 3 The conveyor rack 100 includes two plates 160 and multiple conveyor rollers 170. The two plates 160 are arranged opposite to each other. The multiple conveyor rollers 170 are rotatably connected between the two plates 160. The driving mechanism 200 is configured to drive the multiple conveyor rollers 170 to rotate forward or reverse at the same time to drive the product 400 forward or backward on the conveyor rack 100.

[0064] In this embodiment, the plate body 160 is arranged in an inverted "L" shape, one end of the conveying roller 170 is passed through and rotatably connected to one side plate body 160, and the other end of the conveying roller 170 is passed through and rotatably connected to the other side plate body 160, and multiple conveying rollers 170 are parallel to each other and located on the same plane; the driving mechanism 200 includes a sprocket 210, a chain 220 and a motor 230, and a sprocket 210 is provided at the same end of each conveying roller 170, and the chain 220 is wound around multiple sprockets 210. The motor 230 is used to drive one of the sprockets 210 to rotate, so that the sprocket 210 drives the chain 220 to transmit, thereby making multiple sprockets 210 rotate at the same time, and by driving the sprocket 210 forward and reversely by the motor 230, the multiple conveying rollers 170 can be rotated forward or reverse.

[0065] In other embodiments, the shape of the plate 160 can be adaptively adjusted as needed, for example, the plate 160 can be set to a "T" shape; the driving mechanism 200 can be replaced by a belt and a pulley.

[0066] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the driving mechanism 200 drives multiple conveying rollers 170 to rotate forward or reverse, so that the multiple conveying rollers 170 drive the product 400 forward or backward when rotating, thereby realizing the transportation of the product 400 on the conveying rack 100. When it is necessary to center the product 400, the driving mechanism 200 drives the multiple conveying rollers 170 to rotate forward or reverse, which facilitates the position adjustment of the product 400. No other additional components are required to adjust the position of the product 400, so that the same driving mechanism 200 can realize the transportation and position adjustment of the product 400, thereby improving the driving effect of the product 400.

[0067] Combine Figures 1 to 3 A guide assembly 171 is provided on the conveying roller 170 , and the guide assembly 171 is used to guide the product 400 to the middle of the conveying roller 170 .

[0068] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up the guide component 171, the product 400 can be guided to the middle of the conveyor roller 170 when moving on multiple conveyor rollers 170, thereby preventing the product 400 from deviating toward the two ends of the conveyor roller 170 when moving. The guide component 171 and the detection mechanism 300 can be set to center the product 400 in two directions, thereby improving the conveying effect of the product 400.

[0069] Combine Figures 1 to 3 The guide assembly 171 includes a guide cylinder 172. A guide cylinder 172 is provided on both sides of the conveying roller 170. A moving space 173 for the product 400 to move is formed between the guide cylinders 172 on both sides. The diameters of the guide cylinders 172 on both sides gradually decrease as they approach each other.

[0070] In this embodiment, two guide cylinders 172 are provided on each conveying roller 170 . The two guide cylinders 172 are respectively provided on both sides of the conveying roller 170 . The distances between the two guide cylinders 172 and the plates 160 on both sides are the same.

The setting structure of the guide cylinder 172 is simple, easy to produce, and improves the guiding effect of the product 400.

[0073] An embodiment of the present application also provides a product production line, including a production line body and an automated product centering device of any of the above embodiments arranged on the production line body.

[0074] Among them, the automated product centering device has been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be described in detail here.

[0075] The product production line provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with an automated product centering device, and uses the product production line to produce silicon segments. When the silicon segments are conveyed to the multiple conveying rollers 170 of the conveying rack 100, the first spacing 130 between one end of the silicon segment and the first end 110 of the conveying rack 100 is detected by the sensor, and the second spacing 140 between the other end of the silicon segment and the second end 120 of the conveying rack 100 is detected. By comparing the first spacing 130 and the second spacing 140, when the first spacing 130 is greater than the second spacing 140, the multiple conveying rollers 170 are driven to rotate by the driving mechanism 200, so that the multiple conveying rollers 170 drive the silicon segments forward. When the first spacing 130 is less than the second spacing 140, the multiple conveying rollers 170 are driven to rotate in the opposite direction by the driving mechanism 200, so that the multiple conveying rollers 170 drive the silicon segments forward. The conveying rollers 170 drive the silicon segment backward. When the first spacing 130 is equal to the second spacing 140, the driving mechanism 200 stops driving the multiple conveying rollers 170. At this time, the silicon segment is located in the middle of the conveying rack 100. The robot of the product production line can accurately clamp the silicon segment in the middle of the conveying rack 100 with a line of sight, thereby transferring the silicon segment to the next processing equipment. There is no need to manually drive the silicon segment to the middle of the conveying rack 100, and there is no need to manually calculate the center position of the silicon segment, thereby saving manpower; the robot located in the middle of the conveying rack 100 can grab the silicon segment located in the middle of the conveying rack 100, thereby preventing the position deviation between the silicon segment and the robot, thereby improving the accuracy of the robot clamping the middle of the silicon segment, preventing the silicon segment from falling due to unstable center of gravity on the robot, thereby preventing damage to the silicon segment.
