[0034] The speed reducer 6 is connected between the output end of the servo motor 5 and the driving shaft 8, and has a gear transmission mechanism inside.
[0035] Function: It reduces the output speed of the servo motor 5 and increases the output torque at the same time, so that the driving shaft 8 can smoothly drive the transmission belt 9 to rotate, avoiding the situation that the transmission belt 9 slips or the safety tube is not conveyed stably due to too fast speed or insufficient torque.
[0036] The bearing seat 7 is fixedly installed on the rack 1 and has bearings installed inside, and the two ends of the driving shaft 8 are installed in cooperation with the bearings.
[0037] Function: It supports and fixes the driving shaft 8, so that the driving shaft 8 can flexibly rotate in the bearing seat 7, reduces the friction resistance when the driving shaft 8 rotates, ensures the smooth operation of the transmission system, and prolongs the service life of the driving shaft 8.
[0038] One end of the driving shaft 8 is fixedly connected with the output end of the speed reducer 6, and the other end is supported through the bearing seat 7, and the surface is in contact with the transmission belt 9 and realizes transmission.
[0039] Function: It rotates under the drive of the servo motor 5 and the speed reducer 6, and drives the transmission belt 9 to move through friction, thereby realizing the conveying of the safety tube on the transmission belt 9.
[0040] The transmission belt 9 is wrapped around the driving shaft 8 and the auxiliary roller 11, and has a certain friction on the surface, which is usually made of rubber and other materials.
[0041] Function: It serves as a conveying carrier for the safety tube, conveying the safety tube from one end of the device to the other end through the detection area below the gantry 3. The smooth operation of the transmission belt 9 is crucial for ensuring the accurate detection of the safety tube, and its speed and stability are controlled by the servo motor 5, the speed reducer 6, the tensioning roller 10 and other components.
[0042] The tensioning roller 10 is installed on the rack 1 and in contact with the surface of the transmission belt 9, and its position can be adjusted.
[0043] Function: Adjust the position of the tensioning roller 10 to change the tightness of the transmission belt 9, ensure that the transmission belt 9 always maintains appropriate tension during operation. The appropriate tension can prevent the transmission belt 9 from slipping, ensure the transmission efficiency, and also help to prolong the service life of the transmission belt 9, ensuring the stable conveying and detection of the fuse tube.
[0044] The auxiliary roller 11 is installed on the rack 1 and is in transmission connection with the transmission belt 9, serving as an auxiliary support and guide for the transmission belt 9.
[0045] Function: Helps to support the transmission belt 9 and share the load of the transmission belt 9, making the transmission belt 9 more stable during operation, reducing the shaking or deviation caused by the excessive length or uneven stress of the transmission belt 9, ensuring the positional accuracy of the fuse tube during the conveying process, and facilitating accurate detection by the industrial CCD camera.
[0046] The flat plate 12 is installed on the rack 1 below the transmission belt 9 and is in contact or close proximity to the transmission belt 9.
[0047] Function: Provides support for the transmission belt 9, keeping it flat during operation, preventing it from sagging or deforming due to lack of support below, thus ensuring the smoothness of the fuse tube during the conveying process and avoiding the shaking or tilting of the fuse tube caused by uneven transmission belt 9, which affects the detection results.
[0048] The guardrail 13 is installed on the exit end side of the rack 1, usually in the form of a certain height strip structure, and is arranged along the sides of the transmission belt 9.
[0049] Function: When the fuse tube is conveyed to the exit end, it serves as a protective and guiding role, preventing the fuse tube from sliding off the sides of the transmission belt 9, ensuring that the fuse tube can continue to move along the predetermined path, and also providing certain constraints and positioning for subsequent sorting operations.
[0050] The electric slide rail 14 is installed on the guardrail 13 and has a straight track with a driving device inside, which is a prior art.
[0051] Function: Provides a sliding track for the electric sliding block 15, moves the position of the electric sliding block on the slide rail through electric control, and realizes the movement of the lever 16 at different positions above the transmission belt 9, so as to accurately move the non-compliant fuse tube to the designated position.
[0052] The electric sliding block 15 is in sliding connection with the electric slide rail 14 and has a lever 16 installed below, which can move along the slide rail under the drive of the electric slide rail 14.
[0053] Function: Drives the lever 16 to move horizontally above the transmission belt 9, moves the non-compliant fuse tube away from the transmission belt 9 according to the instructions of the PLC control display controller 4, and realizes the sorting operation of non-compliant products.
[0054] The push rod 16 is obliquely installed below the electric sliding block 15, one end of which is close to the surface of the transmission belt 9.
[0055] Effect: When the electric sliding block 15 moves, the push rod 16 moves with it, and by virtue of its oblique shape, when encountering an insurance tube that does not meet the standard, the push rod 16 pushes the insurance tube to one side from the transmission belt 9, so that the insurance tube enters the specially set unqualified product collection area, realizing the automatic sorting function.
[0056] First, the artificial places the insurance tube products on the transmission belt 9 in turn, and the servo motor 5 is started, the output end of which drives the speed reducer 6, and after the speed reducer 6 reduces the speed and increases the torque, the driving shaft 8 starts to rotate, and the driving shaft 8 drives the transmission belt 9 to move by virtue of the friction between them, and the transmission belt 9 runs stably under the action of the auxiliary support and guidance of the auxiliary roller 11 and the tension of the tensioning roller 10, and the insurance tube is transported with the transmission belt 9 from one end to the other end. When the insurance tube passes below the gantry 3, the industrial CCD camera installed on the inner side of the gantry 3 takes a picture of the lead cap of the insurance tube, obtains image information and transmits it to the PLC control display controller 4. The PLC control display controller 4 processes and analyzes the image, and judges whether the size of the lead cap of the insurance tube meets the standard. If the size does not meet the standard, when the insurance tube is transported to the outlet end of the rack 1, the PLC control display controller 4 controls the electric sliding block 15 on the electric sliding rail 14 to move, and the obliquely arranged push rod 16 pushes the unqualified product to one side, realizing the sorting of unqualified products, while the qualified products continue to be transported on the transmission belt 9 to the subsequent process.
[0057] As shown in Figure 2 some embodiments, a plurality of industrial CCD cameras are installed on the inner side of the gantry 3, and the industrial CCD cameras are electrically connected to the PLC control display controller 4; the industrial CCD cameras are connected to the PLC control display controller 4 through electrical connection. This connection mode enables the image data captured by the camera to be transmitted to the PLC control display controller 4 in real time, so as to be processed and analyzed subsequently.
[0058] As shown in Figure 2 some embodiments, the two ends of the driving shaft 8 are rotatably connected to the bearing seat 7, and the bearing seat 7 is fixedly installed on the rack 1; the two ends of the driving shaft 8 are matched with the bearings in the bearing seat 7 to realize rotatable connection. The bearing seat 7 is fixedly installed on the rack 1 by means of bolts or the like, so as to ensure its stable position. This structural design enables the driving shaft 8 to stably rotate on the rack 1, and the relative position between the driving shaft 8 and the rack 1 remains unchanged.
[0059] As shown in Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission belt 9 is driven on the surface by two tensioning rollers 10, which are mounted on the frame 1. Appropriate tension can also reduce the vibration and beating of the transmission belt 9 during operation, reducing stress concentration within the transmission belt 9. This helps to extend the service life of the transmission belt 9 and reduce equipment downtime and maintenance costs caused by frequent replacement of the transmission belt 9.
[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a flat plate 12 is mounted on the frame 1, and the transmission belt 9 is connected to the flat plate 12; the flat plate 12 is mounted on the frame 1 and is tightly fixed to the frame 1 to form a stable supporting plane.
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the lever 16 is tilted to push the non-compliant products to one side; the length and tilt angle of the lever 16 are designed so that it can effectively push the unqualified fuse away from the transmission belt 9 and guide it into a specially designed unqualified product collection area.
