Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steel ball sorting, in particular to a steel ball photoelectric sorting and conveying structure. Background Art

[0002] Steel balls are spherical objects made of steel and are widely used in various industries. Photoelectric sorting of steel balls is an automated process that uses photoelectric technology to classify and sort steel balls. This technology is widely used in the steel, machinery manufacturing and other related industries to improve sorting efficiency and accuracy. By emitting light and receiving reflected light, photoelectric sensors are able to detect the characteristics of steel balls (such as color, diameter, surface defects, etc.). When the steel balls pass through the sensor, the sensor collects and analyzes data in real time. Currently, the steel ball sorting equipment commonly used on the market relies on photoelectric sensor technology to classify steel balls by detecting their characteristics (such as color, diameter, etc.). However, due to the spherical characteristics of steel balls, existing sorting mechanisms have certain design flaws.

[0003] Specifically, existing steel ball sorting mechanisms generally lack an effective interception mechanism, which can result in multiple steel balls appearing simultaneously in the detection area of ​​the photoelectric sensor. This situation not only prevents the sensor from accurately identifying the characteristics of each steel ball, but can also lead to misjudgments or missed judgments, thus affecting the accuracy and efficiency of sorting. As the scale of production expands, this problem becomes increasingly apparent, and there is an urgent need for an improved sorting solution to improve the accuracy and efficiency of steel ball sorting. Therefore, designing a photoelectric sorting and conveying structure with an interception function based on the characteristics of steel balls has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a steel ball photoelectric sorting and conveying structure to solve the problems raised in the background technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a steel ball photoelectric sorting and conveying structure to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a steel ball photoelectric sorting and conveying structure, comprising a conveyor belt body for conveying steel balls, a sorting mechanism for preventing steel balls from piling up is provided on the top of the conveyor belt body, and a photoelectric sensor for photoelectrically sorting the steel balls is provided in the sorting mechanism;

[0007] The sorting mechanism includes a mounting column symmetrically fixedly mounted on the top of the conveyor belt body, a mounting plate fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting column, a motion groove being provided on the mounting plate, a telescopic cylinder fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate, the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder being connected to a fixed column, and the fixed column is slidably arranged in the motion groove, the end of the fixed column is connected to a motion plate, the bottom of the motion plate is connected to a contact plate, a connecting column fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate, the end of the connecting column is connected to a bottom plate, two sliding columns are slidably connected in the bottom plate, and a baffle for separating steel balls is provided at the bottom of a single sliding column.

[0008] Furthermore, sliding rails are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the mounting plate, and a sliding plate is slidably connected to the outer side of a single sliding rail, and the sliding plate is fixedly connected to the moving plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a spring is sleeved on the outer side of a single sliding column, one end of the spring is connected to the base plate, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate, a mounting block is installed on the mounting top, and a contact wheel for contacting the contact plate is connected inside the mounting block.

[0010] Furthermore, the contact plate is V-shaped, and the length of the port at one end of the contact plate is greater than the length at the other end, and the photoelectric sensor is arranged at the bottom of the base plate and located between the two sliding columns.

[0011] Furthermore, a storage box for storing steel balls is fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor belt body, a feed port is provided on the top of the storage box, and a discharge port is provided on the bottom of the storage box.

[0012] Furthermore, a discharge plate is connected to the outside of the discharge port, and a limiting track for limiting the movement trajectory of the steel ball is installed in the conveyor belt body, and the limiting track is elastic rubber.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The utility model sets a sorting mechanism, and the telescopic cylinder pushes the moving plate to move, so that the contact plate under the moving plate contacts the roller on the sliding column. Since the contact plate is V-shaped and the length of the port at one end of the contact plate is greater than the length at the other port, one baffle stops the steel ball for detection, and the other baffle is above the steel ball. After the detection is completed, the moving plate can move without worry, so that the baffle no longer intercepts the detected steel ball, and it is transported away under the movement of the conveyor belt body. The advantage of this is that each steel ball can be independently identified, avoiding misjudgment or missed judgment caused by multiple steel balls appearing in the detection area at the same time, and the limit track can prevent the steel ball from leaving the detection track.

[0022] In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features known in the art are not described to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, the directions of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside involved in this document are based on the directions of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside shown in the figures of the present invention, and are explained here together.

[0024] The connection method can adopt existing methods such as bonding, welding, bolt connection, etc., subject to actual needs.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 3As shown, a steel ball photoelectric sorting and conveying structure includes a conveyor belt body 1 for conveying steel balls. The conveyor belt body 1 is an existing device, and its working principle is not described in detail here. A storage box 2 for storing steel balls is fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor belt body 1. It should be noted here that the steel balls are taken out from the storage box one by one and enter the discharge plate 20, and then enter the limiting track 21. A feeding port 3 is provided on the top of the storage box 2, and a discharge port 19 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 2. The discharge plate 20 is connected to the outside of the discharge port 19. The discharge plate 20 is used to transport the steel balls to the conveyor belt body 1. A limiting track 21 for limiting the movement trajectory of the steel balls is installed in the conveyor belt body 1, and the limiting track 21 is elastic rubber. A sorting mechanism for preventing steel balls from accumulating is provided on the top of the conveyor belt body 1, and a photoelectric sensor 22 for photoelectrically sorting the steel balls is provided in the sorting mechanism.

[0026] The sorting mechanism includes a mounting column 5 symmetrically fixedly mounted on the top of the conveyor body 1, a mounting plate 4 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting column 5, a motion groove 7 is opened on the mounting plate 4, a telescopic cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 4, the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 8 is connected to a fixed column 9, and the fixed column 9 is slidably set in the motion groove 7, the end of the fixed column 9 is connected to a motion plate 12, the bottom of the motion plate 12 is connected to a contact plate 13, a connecting column 6 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 4, the end of the connecting column 6 is connected to a bottom plate 23, two sliding columns 14 are slidably connected in the bottom of the bottom plate 23, and a baffle 2 for separating steel balls is provided at the bottom of the single sliding column 14 4. Sliding rails 10 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. A sliding plate 11 is slidably connected to the outer side of a single sliding rail 10. It should be noted here that the sliding plate 11 will not fall off the sliding rail 10, and the sliding plate 11 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 12. A spring 15 is sleeved on the outer side of a single sliding column 14. One end of the spring 15 is connected to the bottom plate 23. The spring 15 is used to restore the sliding column 14 to its original position when the sliding column 14 does not contact the contact plate 13. The other end is connected to a mounting plate 16. A mounting block 17 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 16. A contact wheel 18 for contacting the contact plate 13 is connected inside the mounting block 17.

[0027] The contact plate 13 is V-shaped, and the length of the port at one end of the contact plate 13 is greater than the length at the other end. In this way, when one end contacts the sliding column 14, it is pressed down, intercepting the steel ball for detection, and at the same time, the other sliding column 14 is in an upward state. When the moving plate 12 continues to move, the baffle 24 rises and the sliding column 14 in contact with the steel ball rises, and then transports it away. At the same time, the other sliding column 14 falls to intercept, and the photoelectric sensor 22 is set at the bottom of the base plate 23, located between the two sliding columns 14.

[0028] The conveyor belt body 1, the telescopic cylinder 8, and the photoelectric sensor 22 all belong to the prior art. Their working principles, sizes, and models are irrelevant to the problems solved by this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of the present invention is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field. The power supply is also common knowledge in this field, and the present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the present invention will no longer explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.

[0029] Working principle: The steel balls are placed into the storage box 2 from the feed port 3, and then enter the discharge plate 20 from the discharge port 19, and further move to the limit track 21, and move to the bottom of the sorting mechanism through the conveyor body 1;

[0030] The telescopic cylinder 8 on the mounting plate 4 drives the fixed column 9 to move, and the fixed column 9 slides in the motion groove 7, and then the fixed column 9 drives the moving plate 12 to move, so that the sliding plate 11 slides on the sliding track 10, so that the contact plate 13 at the bottom of the moving plate 12 contacts the contact wheel 18, and then one of the sliding columns 14 pushes down, so that the spring 15 on the mounting plate 16 is compressed, and then the baffle 24 intercepts the steel ball, so that the photoelectric sensor 22 detects the steel ball, and the staff removes the unqualified steel ball.
