They are relative concepts and may vary depending on their location or usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 This application is described in further detail.
[0023] The embodiment of the present application discloses a bellows optical screening machine.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 A bellows optical screening machine includes a support platform 1 and a rotating disk 11 rotatably arranged on the support platform 1. A motor is fixed to the bottom of the support platform 1. The output end of the motor is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 11, which can drive the rotating disk 11 to rotate.
[0025] The support platform 1 is provided with a feeding assembly 2, a guide member 3, a screening assembly 4, and a discharging assembly 6 in sequence along the rotation direction of the rotating disk 11.
[0026] The feeding assembly 2 can transfer the bellows 7 to be inspected to the rotating disk 11 .
[0027] The feeding assembly 2 includes a feeding frame 21, a feeding chute 22 and a stabilizing plate 23; the lower end of the feeding frame 21 is fixedly connected to the support platform 1, and the upper end of the feeding frame 21 is fixedly connected to the feeding chute 22. The feeding chute 22 is inclined, and one end of the feeding chute 22 is located directly above the rotating disk 11, and the other end is connected to the vibrating disk. The vibrating disk is not shown in the figure. The vibrating disk mainly arranges the bellows 7 so that the bellows 7 can continuously enter the feeding chute 22. The vibrating disk is a prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0028] The stabilizing plate 23 has a recessed portion 24 and an elastic portion 25. The recessed portion 24 resists the inertia of the bellows 7 as it emerges from the feed chute 22, allowing the bottom of the bellows 7 to rest firmly on the rotating disk 11 without shaking. The elastic portion 25 gently presses the top of the bellows 7, stabilizing it during movement.
[0029] The support platform 1 is also provided with a guide member 3, the upper part of the guide member 3 is located in the moving path of the bellows 7. When the bellows 7 moves, it will hit the guide member 3, and then move and guide under the action of the guide member 3, so that the bellows 7 can be at the position specified by the rotating disk 11.
[0030] The screening assembly 4 includes a camera unit 41, a processing unit 42, and a filter 43. The camera unit 41 is a camera that can take horizontal photos of the bellows 7. The processing unit 42 analyzes and processes the images to detect the parallelism and diameter of the bellows 7. The filter 43 is connected to the processing unit 42 via a data line. When the bellows 7 meets the requirements, the filter 43 is deactivated, and qualified bellows 7 are discharged from the discharge assembly. Conversely, when the requirements are not met, the filter 43 rejects unqualified bellows 7.
[0031] Screener 43 includes an air pump 44 and an air rod 45. One end of air rod 45 is connected to air pump 44, and the other end faces the travel path of bellows 7. Air rod 45 is also equipped with an infrared sensor 46, which is also connected to air pump 44 via a signal link. A screening tray is provided on support platform 1 to accommodate unqualified bellows 7.
[0032] When the bellows 7 is unqualified, the analysis and processing unit 42 will transmit a signal to the cylinder, the cylinder will be prepared, the infrared sensor 46 can detect the position of the bellows 7, and then the cylinder will work, allowing the air rod 45 to blow the unqualified bellows 7 into the screening plate.
[0033] The support platform 1 is also provided with a display 5 which can display the images captured by the camera unit 41 and can also display the process and results processed by the processing unit 42 .
[0034] The discharge assembly 6 includes a discharge member 61, a receiving platform 62, and a receiving box 63. The lower end of the discharge member 61 is fixedly connected to the support platform 1, and the upper end is tilted to intercept the movement path of the corrugated tube 7. The receiving platform 62 is fixed to the support platform 1 and located below the rotating disk 11. When the rotating disk 11 rotates, the discharge member 61 pushes qualified corrugated tubes 7 from the rotating disk 11, and the receiving platform 62 can receive qualified corrugated tubes 7 falling from the rotating disk 11. The receiving box 63 is located directly below one end of the receiving platform 62. Under the transition of the receiving platform 62, qualified corrugated tubes 7 will fall into the receiving box 63.
[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application; therefore, based on the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods. Therefore, the above specific implementation methods and drawings are only illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be regarded as the entirety of the present invention or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of the present invention. Therefore: All equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
