[0044] Compared with the prior art, the transparent sphere detection device provided by the embodiment can place the transparent sphere to be detected on the conveying plate 11, and the transparent sphere will not fall during the conveying process because the first supporting part 21 and the second supporting part 22 support the transparent sphere at the bottom of the conveying plate 11. When the conveying plate 11 passes through the first supporting part 21, the position of the cleaning assembly 40 is just corresponding to the position at this time, the cleaning assembly 40 cleans the transparent sphere in the through hole 12, and then the conveying plate 11 moves above the second supporting part 22, the optical detector detects the transparent sphere on the second supporting part 22, and sends the detection result to the sorting mechanism 24. When the conveying plate 11 moves to the sorting mechanism 24, because the through hole 12 is vertically through, the transparent sphere will fall from the conveying plate 11 and be sorted into different discharge channels 30 according to the detection result by the sorting mechanism 24, and the detection and sorting process of the transparent sphere is completed. The transparent sphere detection device can clean the transparent sphere during the conveying process, can ensure the cleanliness of the surface of the transparent sphere, can avoid misdirecting the detection result, and can improve the detection accuracy.

[0045] In some embodiments, one specific implementation of the above-mentioned cleaning assembly 40 can adopt the structure as shown in Figures 1 to 2 . Referring to Figures 1 to 2 , the cleaning assembly 40 comprises a second motor 41, a driving wheel 42, a driven wheel 43 and a brush 44. The driving wheel 42 is in transmission connection with the output shaft of the second motor 41, and the axial direction of the driving wheel 42 is parallel to the first straight path. The driven wheel 43 is arranged on one side of the driving wheel 42 in a spaced manner and is in transmission connection with the driving wheel 42. The axial direction of the driven wheel 43 is parallel to the driving wheel 42. The brush 44 is arranged around the outer periphery of the driving wheel 42 and the driven wheel 43, and the brush 44 is used to extend into the through hole 12.

[0046] The second motor 41 drives the driving wheel 42 to rotate, the driving wheel 42 drives the driven wheel 43 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the brush 44. The brush 44 can continuously clean the transparent sphere in the through hole 12 during the rotation, and because the brush 44 rotates, the transparent sphere in the through hole 12 can also be rotated, so that the transparent sphere can be cleaned in all directions, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0047] In some embodiments, one improved implementation of the above-mentioned cleaning assembly 40 can adopt the structure as shown in Figures 1 to 2 . Referring to Figures 1 to 2The transparent sphere detection device further comprises a rack 50, and the cleaning assembly 40 further comprises an adjusting seat 45 detachably connected with the rack 50, a plurality of mounting hole positions 46 distributed in the up-down direction are arranged on the adjusting seat 45, and two transmission shafts 47 are arranged on the adjusting seat 45, one of the transmission shafts 47 is fixedly connected with the driving wheel 42, and the other transmission shaft 47 is fixedly connected with the driven wheel 43. When the adjusting seat 45 is installed, the position of the adjusting seat 45 can be adjusted up and down, and after adjustment, the adjusting seat 45 is fixed through the corresponding mounting hole position 46, and the distance between the brush 44 and the conveying plate 11 can be changed, so that the use is more flexible.

[0048] It should be noted that the two transmission shafts 47 and the output shaft of the second motor 41 can be driven through a belt.

[0049] In some embodiments, a modified embodiment of the above cleaning assembly 40 can adopt the structure as shown in Figures 1 to 2 Referring to Figures 1 to 2 , the adjusting seat 45 is further provided with two bearing seats 48, the bearing seat 48 and the transmission shaft 47 are one-to-one corresponding and matched, and a rolling bearing 49 is further arranged between each bearing seat 48 and the corresponding transmission shaft 47. The transmission shaft 47 is installed on the adjusting seat 45 through the rolling bearing 49 and the bearing seat 48, and by arranging the rolling bearing 49, the frictional resistance in the rotating process of the transmission shaft 47 can be reduced, the energy consumption of the second motor 41 is reduced, and the rotating process of the brush 44 is more smooth.

[0050] In some embodiments, a specific embodiment of the above second supporting piece 22 can adopt the structure as shown in Figures 3 to 5 Referring to Figures 3 to 5 , the second supporting piece 22 comprises a plurality of transparent rollers 221 spaced apart along a second straight line path, the second straight line path is perpendicular to the first straight line path, the axial direction of the transparent roller 221 is parallel to the first straight line path, the end portion of each transparent roller 221 is further provided with an engaging gear 25, and the detection assembly 20 further comprises a third motor 26 in transmission connection with the engaging gear 25.

[0051] Among them, the transparent sphere is used to pass between the two adjacent transparent rollers 221 and abut on the outer circumferential surface of the transparent roller 221, so as to realize posture adjustment with the rotation of the transparent roller 221.

[0052] When the conveying plate 11 drives the transparent sphere to pass through the second supporting piece 22, each transparent sphere is located between the two transparent rollers 221 and abuts on the outer circumferential surface of the transparent roller 221, and while the transparent sphere moves along the first straight line path, the transparent roller 221 rotates to drive the transparent sphere in the through hole 12 to rotate, which is conducive to the detection of the transparent sphere from multiple angles by the optical detector, and the detection result is more accurate by comparing the detection results of multiple angles to judge whether the transparent sphere is qualified.

[0053] In some embodiments, one improved implementation of the detection assembly 20 described above can adopt the structure as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 . Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the detection assembly 20 further comprises a containing box 23 arranged below the second supporting member 22, the containing box 23 being upwardly open, and the optical detector being arranged in the containing box 23. The optical detector is arranged in the containing box 23, and the side wall of the containing box 23 can be light-shielded to ensure that the light is concentrated on the second supporting member 22, so that the illumination effect on the transparent sphere is better, and thus the detection result is improved.

[0054] In some embodiments, one specific implementation of the sorting mechanism 24 described above can adopt the structure as shown in Figures 3 to 5 . Referring to Figures 3 to 5 , the sorting mechanism 24 comprises a third supporting member 241, a push rod 242, and a push cylinder 243. The third supporting member 241 is arranged at the side of the second supporting member 22 away from the first supporting member 21. The push rod 242 is rotatably connected at the top end to the side bottom of the third supporting member 241 away from the second supporting member 22. The push cylinder 243 is arranged at the bottom of the third supporting member 241, and the piston rod of the push cylinder 243 is hingedly connected to the bottom end of the push rod 242 and is used to push the push rod 242 to make the push rod 242 abut different discharge channels 30. The push cylinder 243 is communicatively connected with the optical detector. Each two transparent rollers 221 form a channel for the transparent sphere to pass through, and the end of each channel corresponds to a push rod 242. The transparent sphere in each channel is detected by the optical detector, and the detection result is transmitted to the push cylinder 243 of the corresponding channel. The push cylinder 243 pushes the bottom end of the push rod 242 to rotate and abut different discharge channels 30, so that the transparent sphere can fall into the corresponding discharge channel 30 through the push rod 242 when the transparent sphere moves out of the third supporting member 241.

[0055] It is easily conceivable that the third supporting member 241 is fixed on the frame 50, and one end of the transparent roller 221 is rotatably connected to the frame 50, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third supporting member 241.

[0056] In some embodiments, one improved implementation of the push rod 242 described above can adopt the structure as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 . Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the push rod 242 is provided with a guide sliding arc surface 244 at the side away from the push cylinder 243. By arranging the guide sliding arc surface 244, the route of the transparent sphere when rolling down is more gentle, and secondary impact on the transparent sphere when falling down is avoided.

[0057] In some embodiments, one specific implementation of the discharge channel 30 described above can adopt the structure as shown in Figure 1 andFigure 3 The structure is shown. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A plurality of discharging channels 30 are arranged along a first straight line path, and the discharging directions of adjacent discharging channels 30 are opposite to each other. The discharging directions of adjacent discharging channels 30 being opposite to each other can avoid mixing of the transparent spheres after discharging, and if a collecting box is arranged at the discharging end of the discharging channel 30, since the discharging directions of adjacent discharging channels 30 are opposite to each other, the space at the discharging end of each discharging channel 30 is relatively sufficient, and a collecting box with a larger volume can be placed.

[0058] Specifically, the discharging channel 30 is gradually inclined downward from the feeding end to the discharging end. The transparent spheres falling on the discharging channel 30 can automatically roll along the discharging channel 30, and the cost of conveying the transparent spheres by arranging a conveying belt on the discharging channel 30 is lower.

[0059] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
