Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of paint production, in particular to a paint bucket cover detection device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in paint production, buckets of paint need to be capped with lids after filling. Existing technologies typically use highly automated capping machines to cap paint buckets. However, due to processing conditions and other factors, the lids may not be properly aligned, causing them to become loose and warped. If these uncapped buckets enter the market, this can negatively impact both the consumer experience and the company's reputation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the prior art. To this end, the utility model provides a paint bucket cover detection device, which can detect whether the bucket cover of the paint bucket is properly covered.

[0004] According to the present invention, a paint bucket capping detection device includes a capping machine, a first conveyor belt, a detection mechanism and a control module, wherein the first conveyor belt is connected to the output end of the capping machine and is used to convey the paint bucket; the detection mechanism includes a frame, a first drive structure, a vertical rod, a detection head, a connecting plate, a spring, and a distance sensor, wherein the first conveyor belt is located below the frame, the first drive structure is connected to the frame, the first drive structure is connected to the vertical rod and can drive the vertical rod to move up and down, the detection head is located directly above the first conveyor belt, the bottom of the detection head is provided with a detection hole adapted to the shape of the bucket cover, the top of the detection head is provided with a through hole, the bottom end of the vertical rod is movably connected to the through hole, the connecting plate is fixed to the vertical rod and is located above the detection head, one end of the spring is fixed to the connecting plate, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the detection head, a detection platform is provided on the side wall of the detection head, the distance sensor is mounted on the lower end surface of the connecting plate and faces the detection platform, and the first conveyor belt, the first drive structure and the distance sensor are all electrically connected to the control module.

[0005] The paint bucket cover detection device according to the above-mentioned novel embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0006] The paint bucket capping detection device provided by the present invention uses a capping machine to cap the paint bucket. When the capped paint bucket is conveyed to the bottom of the detection head via a first conveyor belt, the control module controls the first conveyor belt to stop conveying and controls the first drive structure to drive the vertical rod downward by a fixed displacement. Because the detection head is connected to the connecting plate via a spring, the vertical rod can drive the detection head downward, and the detection hole of the detection head can align with the paint bucket lid. When the detection head contacts the paint bucket, it can just pass through the detection hole to cover the bucket lid, and the vertical rod stops moving downward. Because the displacement is fixed, the spring does not deform, and the distance between the distance sensor and the detection platform remains unchanged. If the paint bucket lid is not properly closed and tilted, when the detection head moves downward by the fixed displacement, it cannot pass through the detection hole to just cover the bucket lid. The tilted bucket lid will push the detection head upward, causing the spring to deform, and the distance between the connecting plate and the detection head to decrease. This allows the distance sensor to detect the change in distance from the detection platform and transmit this information to the control module for subsequent processing. The paint bucket cover detection device provided by the embodiment of the utility model can detect whether the bucket cover of the paint bucket is properly covered, thereby ensuring the quality of the product.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the detection mechanism further includes a first photoelectric sensor, which is installed on the top of the frame and faces the first conveyor belt, and the first photoelectric sensor is electrically connected to the control module.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a defective product processing mechanism is further included, which includes a second conveyor belt, a workbench, a second drive structure and a push plate. The second conveyor belt is connected to the first conveyor belt and is located behind the frame. The workbench is arranged corresponding to the position of the second conveyor belt. The second drive structure is installed on the workbench. The second drive structure is connected to the push plate and can drive the push plate to move toward or away from the second conveyor belt.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2According to the present invention, a paint bucket 500 capping detection device includes a capping machine 100, a first conveyor belt 200, a detection mechanism 300 and a control module. The first conveyor belt 200 is connected to the output end of the capping machine 100 and is used to convey the paint bucket 500. The detection mechanism 300 includes a frame 310, a first driving structure, a vertical rod 330, a detection head 340, a connecting plate 350, a spring 360, and a distance sensor 370. The first conveyor belt 200 is located below the frame 310, the first driving structure is connected to the frame 310, the first driving structure is connected to the vertical rod 330 and can drive the vertical rod 330 to move up and down, and the detection head 340 is located at the first Directly above the conveyor belt 200, a detection hole 341 adapted to the shape of the barrel cover 510 is provided at the bottom of the detection head 340, and a through hole 342 is provided at the top of the detection head 340. The bottom end of the vertical rod 330 is movably connected to the through hole 342, and the connecting plate 350 is fixed to the vertical rod 330 and is located above the detection head 340. One end of the spring 360 is fixed to the connecting plate 350, and the other end of the spring 360 is fixed to the detection head 340. A detection platform 343 is provided on the side wall of the detection head 340, and a distance sensor 370 is installed on the lower end surface of the connecting plate 350 and faces the detection platform 343. The first conveyor belt 200, the first drive structure and the distance sensor 370 are all electrically connected to the control module.

[0028] Specifically, the paint bucket 500 capping detection device provided by the embodiment of the present invention caps the paint bucket 500 through the capping machine 100. When the paint bucket 500 after capping is completed is transported to the bottom of the detection head 340 through the first conveyor belt 200, the control module controls the first conveyor belt 200 to stop conveying, and controls the first driving structure to drive the vertical rod 330 to move downward by a fixed displacement amount. Since the detection head 340 is connected to the connecting plate 350 by the spring 360, the vertical rod 330 can drive the detection head 340 to move downward, and the detection hole 341 of the detection head 340 can be aligned with the bucket cover 510 of the paint bucket 500. When the detection head 340 contacts the paint bucket 500, the detection head 340 can just pass through the detection hole 341 to cover the bucket cover 510, and the vertical rod 330 stops moving downward. Since the displacement is fixed, the spring 360 will not be deformed, and the distance between the distance sensor 370 and the detection platform 343 remains unchanged. If the lid 510 of the paint bucket 500 is not properly closed and is tilted, when the detection head 340 moves downward by a fixed displacement, it cannot pass through the detection hole 341 to just cover the lid 510. The tilted lid 510 will push the detection head 340 upward, causing the spring 360 to deform. The distance between the connecting plate 350 and the detection head 340 will decrease, allowing the distance sensor 370 to detect the change in distance from the detection platform 343 and transmit the information to the control module for subsequent processes. The paint bucket 500 cover detection device provided by the embodiment of the utility model can detect whether the lid 510 of the paint bucket 500 is properly closed, thereby ensuring the quality of the product.
