[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an industrial robot sorting device based on vision recognition includes a mounting base 1 and a movable plate 12. A first conveyor frame 2 and a second conveyor frame 3 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the mounting base 1 and the movable plate 12, respectively. Both the first conveyor frame 2 and the second conveyor frame 3 are equipped with conveyor belts. The mounting base 1 is equipped with a detection mechanism for detecting the damage of items. The detection mechanism includes a mounting frame 8 and an industrial computer 9 fixedly connected to the mounting base 1. The industrial computer 9 is an industrial computer based on a PC bus, and its system is equipped with a vision recognition system. The two inner walls of the mounting frame 8 are equipped with second cameras 6, and the bottom of the mounting frame 8 is equipped with a first camera 5. A fixing frame 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 8. A third camera 7 is connected to the fixing frame 13 through a connecting mechanism. Two mounting seats 4 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 1. An industrial robot 10 is mounted on the upper end of the mounting seats 4 through a mounting mechanism. The first camera 5, the second camera 6, and the third camera 7 are industrial cameras using CCD chips, and the resolution of the industrial cameras is above 5 million pixels.
[0023] The connecting mechanism includes a first electric push rod 14 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 13, and the output end of the first electric push rod 14 is provided with a mounting plate.
[0024] The mounting mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 11 fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 4, and a fixed plate is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 11.
[0025] In this utility model, the second conveyor frame 3 is provided with connecting frames 15 on both sides, and the connecting frame 15 is provided with a second electric push rod 17 on its side wall. The output end of the second electric push rod 17 is provided with a push plate, which can automatically straighten the packaging box placed on the conveyor belt without the need for manual straightening, and also facilitate the sorting of the industrial robot 10.
