Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gasket sorting technology, and in particular to a gasket sorting and testing device. Background Technology
[0002] The rapid development of the automotive industry at present has promoted the development of the auto parts industry, and at the same time, it has put forward higher requirements for the consistency of auto parts quality. In the process of precision assembly of automotive parts, a variety of adjustment parts are needed to meet the needs of precision assembly. Therefore, these adjustment parts must be 100% high-precision tested and sorted before they can enter the assembly process. In the process of equipment assembly, the assembly gap is an important indicator.
[0003] In practice, the selection and matching of gaskets of appropriate thicknesses need to be done manually. Due to the special shape and structure of the gaskets, manual selection has always been adopted. In order to prevent rust, the supplier will soak the gaskets in oil, which makes the gaskets sticky. In addition, the gaskets themselves are very thin, so employees may easily mistake multiple gaskets for one during the assembly process, resulting in a batch of defective products. Utility Model Content
[0004] To reduce the possibility of product non-conformity due to gasket issues, this application provides a gasket sorting and testing device.
[0005] The gasket sorting and testing device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A gasket sorting and detection device includes a base, a sorting cylinder, and a sorting plate. The sorting cylinder is disposed on the base and has a sorting groove communicating with its interior. The sorting plate is slidably disposed on the base and can pass through the sorting groove. The base is provided with a drive cylinder, the piston rod of which is connected to the sorting plate. The base is also provided with a conveyor belt for transporting gaskets.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the thickness of the sorting trough is sufficient to allow one pad to pass through, and the thickness of the sorting plate is the same as the thickness of one pad. Multiple pads are stacked in the sorting cylinder. When a single pad needs to be sorted, the conveyor belt is started, and the drive cylinder is activated to push the sorting plate through the sorting trough, thereby pushing the bottom pad in the sorting cylinder to move out of the sorting trough and onto the conveyor belt. This quickly achieves the sorting of single pads. At the same time, compared with manual sorting, it reduces the possibility of pads sticking together, thereby reducing the possibility of product defects caused by pad sticking together.
[0008] Preferably, the sorting cylinder is provided with a detection block located above the conveyor belt. The detection block is equipped with a distance sensor for detecting the distance between the detection block and the pad. The base is provided with a controller connected to the distance sensor signal. The base is also provided with a recycling assembly, which includes a recycling drive connected to the controller signal. The recycling drive is used to drive the recycling action, and the controller is used to control the opening and closing of the recycling drive.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pads move onto the conveyor belt, the distance sensor detects the distance between the pads and the detection block. The detection value determines whether the pad is a single piece. When the detection data is lower than the set value, it indicates that the sorting trough may be damaged or other unexpected situations may have occurred, causing multiple pads to be stacked and sorted out. At this time, the controller starts the recycling drive to initiate the recycling action to recycle the stacked pads. The device completes the automatic sorting of pads and reduces the possibility of multiple stacked pads mixing through the detection device, thereby reducing the possibility of incorrect pad quantity leading to product defects.
[0010] Preferably, the controller is signal-connected to the conveyor belt drive, the detection block is equipped with a detection camera signal-connected to the controller, the controller is used to control the start and stop of the conveyor belt, and the base is equipped with a waste bin.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the camera captures images of the gaskets sorted onto the conveyor belt and transmits them to the controller. The controller uses its built-in image recognition system to identify the image, determine the shape of the gasket, and thus determine whether the gasket is damaged. When the image is judged to be normal, the controller starts the conveyor belt to rotate in the forward direction, thereby moving the gasket into the subsequent process. When the image is judged to be abnormal, the controller starts the conveyor belt to rotate in the reverse direction, thereby causing the gasket to detach from the conveyor belt and enter the waste bin for recycling. The gasket can be recycled as waste, reducing waste and improving the quality of sorted gaskets, thereby reducing the possibility of product defects caused by gasket breakage or other unqualified conditions.
[0012] Preferably, the recycling assembly includes a recycling plate, a recycling box, and a recycling drive component. The recycling drive component is a recycling cylinder. Both the recycling cylinder and the recycling box are mounted on the base. The recycling box and the recycling cylinder are mounted on both sides of the conveyor belt. The recycling plate is mounted on the piston rod of the recycling cylinder.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the controller starts the recycling cylinder, the recycling cylinder pushes the recycling plate, thereby moving the pads on the conveyor belt and dropping them into the recycling box, completing the recycling. The pads can be recycled and reused, reducing waste.
[0014] Preferably, the base is provided with a mounting groove, and the drive cylinder is inserted into the mounting groove.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the possibility of accidental collision displacement of the drive cylinder is reduced when the drive cylinder is inserted into the mounting slot, the possibility of collision damage is reduced, and durability is improved.
[0016] Preferably, the base is provided with a mounting block, which is inserted into the mounting groove and abuts against the drive cylinder. The mounting block is provided with a mounting plate that abuts against the top wall of the drive cylinder. An assembly component is provided between the mounting block and the base, which is used to assemble the mounting block and the base.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting block is inserted into the mounting slot and the mounting block and the base are assembled by the assembly components. The mounting plate on the mounting block abuts against the top wall of the drive cylinder, thereby installing the cylinder on the base. At the same time, it is convenient to disassemble the drive cylinder, thus facilitating the maintenance of the sorting plate.
[0018] Preferably, the assembly assembly includes an assembly plate and an assembly spring. The base is provided with a first assembly groove communicating with the mounting groove, the mounting block is provided with a second assembly groove, the assembly plate is slidably disposed in the first assembly groove and can be inserted into the second assembly groove, and the assembly spring is disposed in the second assembly groove and connected to the assembly plate.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, after the drive cylinder is inserted into the mounting slot, the assembly plate is pushed to compress the assembly spring, causing the assembly plate to exit the mounting slot. The assembly plate is then inserted into the mounting slot and pressed against the drive cylinder, causing the mounting plate to press against the top wall of the drive cylinder. At this time, the assembly plate is released, the assembly spring returns to its original state, and pushes the assembly plate into the second assembly slot, thereby locking the mounting block and completing the installation of the components with the base. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0020] Preferably, the base is provided with an auxiliary groove communicating with the first assembly groove, and the assembly plate is provided with an auxiliary rod, which is slidably disposed in the auxiliary groove.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to disassemble, push the auxiliary rod to move in the auxiliary groove, which will drive the assembly plate to move and compress the assembly spring. At this time, the assembly plate will exit the second assembly groove, and the mounting block can be removed from the mounting groove to complete the disassembly. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. By setting up a base, sorting cylinder, sorting plate, sorting trough, drive cylinder and conveyor belt, the gaskets are stacked in the sorting cylinder. When sorting is required, the conveyor belt is started and the drive cylinder is started to push the sorting plate through the sorting trough, thereby pushing the bottom gasket out of the sorting trough and onto the conveyor belt. By repeatedly starting the drive cylinder, the gaskets can be sorted and screened out one by one. Compared with manual screening, the possibility of gaskets sticking together is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of product defects caused by gasket sticking.
[0024] 2. By setting up a detection block, distance sensor, controller, recycling cylinder, recycling plate, and recycling box, the distance sensor on the detection block detects the distance from the pads on the conveyor belt to the detection block, thereby detecting the pad thickness and determining whether the pads are stuck together. When the detection data is lower than the set value, multiple pads are stuck together. At this time, the controller starts the recycling cylinder, and the recycling plate moves to push the pads into the recycling box to complete the recycling, reducing the possibility of the sorting pads sticking together, thereby reducing the possibility of the product being unqualified due to the pads sticking together.
[0025] 3. By setting up a detection camera and a waste bin, the detection camera detects the outline of the sorting pads. The images captured by the detection camera are processed by the controller for image recognition to determine whether the pads are intact. When a pad is damaged, the controller controls the conveyor belt to rotate in reverse, thereby driving the damaged pad into the waste bin for recycling, thus reducing the possibility of damaged pads reducing product quality.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0032] This application discloses a gasket sorting and detection device. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 3 The system includes a base 1 and a sorting cylinder 2. The sorting cylinder 2 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. An oil collection pipe 22 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the sorting cylinder 2. Several oil collection grooves 221 are provided on the bottom wall of the sorting cylinder 2, connecting the interior of the sorting cylinder 2 to the oil collection pipe 22. The base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 12, and a drive cylinder 3 is provided in the mounting groove 12. A sorting plate 31 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the drive cylinder 3. The base 1 is provided with a sorting groove 21 that connects to the interior. The sorting plate 31 can fit through the sorting groove 21. The height of the sorting groove 21 and the thickness of the sorting plate 31 are the same as the thickness of a single pad. The base 1 is provided with a conveyor belt 11 for transporting the pads. The base 1 is equipped with a mounting block 4, which is inserted into the mounting groove 12 and abuts against the drive cylinder 3. A mounting plate 41 is integrally fixed to the top wall of the mounting block 4, and the bottom wall of the mounting plate 41 abuts against the top wall of the drive cylinder 3. An auxiliary plate 13 is integrally fixed to the base 1, abutting against the side wall of the mounting block 4 away from the drive cylinder 3. The side wall of the auxiliary plate 13 is flush with the inner wall of the mounting groove 12. An assembly component 7 for assembly is provided between the auxiliary plate 13 and the mounting block 4. The gaskets are stacked and placed into the sorting cylinder 2. During sorting, the drive cylinder 3 is activated to push the sorting plate 31 to move. The sorting plate 31 enters the sorting groove 21 and pushes the gaskets at the bottom of the sorting cylinder 2 through the sorting groove 21 onto the conveyor belt 11. At this time, the conveyor belt 11 is activated, moving the gaskets to the next process to complete the sorting. The thickness of the sorting groove 21 is equal to the thickness of one gasket, thereby reducing the possibility of gasket adhesion and thus reducing the possibility of product defects caused by gasket adhesion.
[0033] To further improve product assembly quality, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4A detection block 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the sorting cylinder 2. In another embodiment, a connecting block can be provided between the detection block 5 and the bottom wall to improve the stability of the detection block 5. The detection block 5 is located directly above the conveyor belt 11. A detection camera 52 and a distance sensor 51 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the detection block 5. A controller 6 is provided on the base 1, which is signal-connected to both the detection camera 52 and the distance sensor 51. A waste bin 14 is fixedly installed on one end of the conveyor belt 11 on the base 1. A recycling assembly 8 for recycling pads is provided on the base 1. The recycling assembly 8 includes a recycling cylinder 81, a recycling plate 82, and a recycling box 83. The recycling cylinder 81 and the recycling box 83 are both fixedly installed on the base 1 and located on both sides of the conveyor belt 11. The recycling plate 82 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the recycling cylinder 81. The recycling cylinder 81 and the motor of the conveyor belt 11 are both signal-connected to the controller 6 and controlled by the controller 6. The detection camera 52 is located on the side of the sorting cylinder 2, and the distance sensor 51 is located on the side of the detection camera 52 away from the waste bin 14. When the pad moves onto the conveyor belt 11, the detection camera 52 takes a picture of the pad and transmits it to the controller 6. The controller 6 performs image recognition to determine whether the pad's appearance is intact and controls the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 11 to screen out pads with intact appearances so that they can continue to move forward. When the pad moves past the distance sensor 51, if the pad is stuck together, the distance sensor 51 data will be lower than the set value. The controller 6 will then activate the recycling cylinder 81 to push the pad into the recycling box 83, thereby controlling the shape and quantity of the pads and further improving the product assembly quality.
[0034] For easy replacement of drive cylinder 3 and sorting plate 31, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Assembly component 7 includes assembly plate 71 and assembly spring 72. Auxiliary plate 13 is provided with a first assembly groove 131 that connects to mounting groove 12. Assembly plate 71 is adapted to slide in the first assembly groove 131. Assembly spring 72 connects the inner wall of the first assembly groove 131 to the side wall of assembly plate 71. The side wall of mounting block 4 is provided with a second assembly groove 42 for assembly plate 71 to be adapted and inserted. The top wall of auxiliary plate 13 is provided with an auxiliary groove 132 that connects to the first assembly groove 131. An auxiliary rod 711 is fixedly provided on the top wall of assembly plate 71 and slides through the auxiliary groove 132. Pushing the auxiliary rod 711 causes assembly plate 71 to slide, causing assembly plate 71 to disengage from the second assembly groove 42. At this time, mounting plate 41 can be removed, and then drive cylinder 3 can be taken out to replace drive cylinder 3 or sorting plate 31. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0035] The implementation principle of the gasket sorting and detection device in this application embodiment is as follows: Gaskets are stacked and placed in the sorting cylinder 2, and excess oil is discharged through the oil collection tank 221 and oil collection pipe 22. When sorting is required, the drive cylinder 3 is activated, and the gaskets are pushed out of the sorting trough 21 and onto the conveyor belt 11 through the sorting plate 31. The controller 6 controls the detection camera 52 to continuously capture images of the gaskets, and the controller 6 identifies them. When the gasket outline is broken, the controller 6 starts the conveyor belt 11 to rotate in the reverse direction, sending the broken gaskets into the waste bin 14. If the gasket outline is normal, the controller 6 starts the conveyor belt 11 to rotate in the forward direction. When the gasket passes under the distance sensor 51, if the gaskets are multiple pieces stuck together, the reading of the distance sensor 51 is less than the set value. The controller 6 activates the recovery cylinder 81 to push the moving stuck gaskets into the recovery bin 83 through the recovery plate 82. If the gasket is a single piece, it enters the next process under the drive of the conveyor belt 11. Repeatedly starting the drive cylinder can complete the sorting of multiple sets of gaskets. Compared to manual sorting of gaskets, this application not only improves efficiency, but also effectively reduces the possibility of gasket damage or adhesion by using the sorting slot 21 in conjunction with the detection section, thereby reducing the possibility of product defects caused by gasket problems.
[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
