Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of family planning product manufacturing equipment, specifically a condom electrical testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Condoms, also known as birth control pills, are a common form of contraception and can also help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Correct and consistent condom use can effectively prevent unwanted pregnancy and serves as a barrier against HIV and other STIs.

[0003] Condoms need to be inspected for damage before packaging after production. An advanced method is electrical inspection, which involves placing the condom on a metal inspection rod. Current technology sometimes involves manual placement of the condom on the rod before inspection, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and detrimental to reducing labor costs. Furthermore, some commercially available automatic condom-feeding electrical inspection machines, such as the patent application number 202410758701.5 titled "Fully Automatic Condom Electrical Inspection Equipment," use a rotating drum to pick up condoms randomly from the hopper. Only condoms in a specific position are transported by the unloading and hanging conveyors, while those not in the correct position fall back into the hopper. This randomness in feeding not only leads to low production efficiency but also results in idle time at subsequent workstations, hindering equipment utilization. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses a condom electrical inspection device, which solves the technical problems of low condom feeding efficiency and high randomness in the prior art. It features a reasonable structure, high feeding efficiency, and the ability to guarantee high positional accuracy. The technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0005] An electric detection device for condoms includes a frame on which a feeding device, a transfer device, and an electric detection machine are mounted. The feeding device includes a first feeding unit, a transfer unit, an identification unit, and a second feeding unit. The first feeding unit is used to acquire condoms and transfer them to the transfer unit. The transfer unit includes several circumferentially arranged picking positions, which can grasp and transfer condoms. The identification unit is used to identify the grasping position of the picking positions on the condom and send a signal to an external controller. The second feeding unit can be displaced under the action of the controller to grasp the condom at a set position, so that the opening of the condom faces downward after grasping.

[0006] The transfer device is used to transfer the safety condoms picked up by the second feeding unit to the electrical testing machine for electrical testing.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the first feeding unit includes a first suction member, a first suction drive, and a pushing component. The first suction member can move up and down with the first suction drive to suction the condom and stop at a first position. The pushing component can move under the action of the pushing drive to make the condom close to the feeding position.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, it also includes a first guide component. The first guide component forms a first guide channel with an opening facing downward for the transfer unit. The first guide channel is flared, with a smaller top and a larger bottom, so that when the first suction member sucks up the condom, passes through the first guide channel, and stops at the first position, it has a good arrangement state.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the pushing component includes a pushing nozzle and a pushing arm. The pushing nozzle includes an air mouth facing the transfer unit, and the pushing arm includes a U-shaped pushing part. The pushing component is designed such that the air mouth can blow condoms to the transfer unit, and the pushing part can contact the condom and push the condom to the transfer unit.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the transfer unit includes a turntable, and the material picking position includes a material picking hole on the outer edge surface of the turntable. A plurality of material picking holes are connected to each other and can pick up condoms under pressure difference. The turntable is designed such that after the material picking hole picks up the condom, the turntable drives the condom to move down and then up to reduce friction on the condom.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the outer edge of the turntable includes a plane near the material picking hole, and when the material picking position picks up the safety condom and transports it to the end of the stroke, the plane is vertically arranged and supports the safety condom.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, a background plate is also included, which is set facing the recognition unit to facilitate the recognition unit's image recognition of the condom.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the second feeding unit includes a second suction member and a second suction drive. The second suction drive is electrically connected to the controller. The second suction member can move up and down under the action of the second suction drive to grab the condom at the set position.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the electrical testing machine includes a support sleeve unit and several electrical testing rods. The support sleeve unit includes a support sleeve drive and a support sleeve assembly. The support sleeve assembly includes multiple support sleeve openings that correspond one-to-one with the second feeding unit. The support sleeve drive can drive the support sleeve assembly to slide to receive a safety condom from the second feeding unit and put the safety condom on the electrical testing rod for electrical testing. Several support sleeve claws are sleeved inside the support sleeve openings. The support sleeve claws can slide radially to open the opening end of the safety condom.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] This invention features a rational structure. The feeding device retrieves condoms from the hopper and positions them with the opening facing downwards. Specifically, by transferring condoms between the first feeding unit, the transfer unit, and the second feeding unit, automated condom transfer is achieved. Furthermore, the transfer process provides time and space for the identification unit to pinpoint the opening of the condom, enabling the controller to control the second feeding unit to grasp the condom at a set position, ensuring the opening faces downwards. This facilitates condom support and electrical inspection, achieving automated detection and significantly improving operational efficiency while reducing labor costs. Moreover, the first feeding unit, transfer unit, and second feeding unit all employ differential pressure to adsorb condoms, reducing wear and tear and improving finished product quality. Additionally, the device consumes little air and offers excellent energy efficiency.

[0017] In this invention, to ensure that the first feeding unit accurately transfers the condoms to the picking position, a pushing component is also included. Under the action of the pushing nozzle, the condom moves towards the picking position, and then under the action of the pushing arm, the condom moves closer to the picking position, thus facilitating the transfer unit to grasp the condom and improving the stability during the transfer process. Simultaneously, the pushing arm is U-shaped and can also gather the condoms towards the picking position, further improving the stability during the transfer process. In addition, a guiding component is included. When the first feeding unit picks up the condom and passes it through the first guiding channel, it can adjust the hanging state of the condom, preventing the condoms from stacking, folding, or even hooking onto other condoms. This ensures that the condoms grasped at the picking position have a good position, improving the accuracy of the identification results of the identification unit; on the other hand, it allows hooked condoms to fall back into the hopper, which helps reduce production costs.

[0018] In this invention, the outer edge of the turntable includes a flat surface located near the feeding hole. When the turntable moves the condom to the end of its stroke, the flat surface can laterally fit the condom, making it convenient for the identification unit to identify the condom. This facilitates accurate identification of the opening or end of the condom and improves the stability and continuity of the feeding process.

[0019] The transfer device is used to transfer the condoms picked up by the second feeding unit to the electrical inspection machine for electrical inspection. The electrical inspection machine includes a support drive and a support assembly. With the condom opening facing the direction, the support assembly can easily open and pick up the condom. This avoids the problem of low feeding efficiency caused by random feeding and has the technical effect of high automation and high production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0034] A condom electrical testing device includes a frame 6, on which a feeding device, a transfer device 5, and an electrical testing machine 100 are provided.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, there are multiple feeding devices arranged in parallel. The feeding device includes a first feeding unit 1, a transfer unit 2, an identification unit, and a second feeding unit 3.

[0036] The first feeding unit 1 is used to acquire condoms and transfer them to the transfer unit; specifically, the first feeding unit 1 includes a first suction component 11, a first suction drive 12, and a pushing assembly 13. The first suction component 11 includes a first hollow rod, which is slidably connected vertically to the frame 6. Figures 4-6 As shown, the lower end of the first hollow rod forms the first suction nozzle 111, and the upper end of the first hollow rod is connected to the vacuum pump. The first suction drive 12 includes a first motor fixed on the frame 6. The first motor drives the first hollow rod to move up and down through a synchronous belt. When the first hollow rod moves down into the hopper, a negative pressure environment is formed inside the first hollow rod. Under the action of pressure difference, the safety condom is sucked up. Then the first hollow rod moves up to the highest limit, i.e., the first position.

[0037] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, each first feeding unit 1 is also provided with a corresponding first guide component 4. The first guide component 4 is located below the first position and forms a first guide channel for the downward-opening transfer unit. The first guide channel is funnel-shaped, with a smaller top and a larger bottom. The narrower part of the first guide channel is designed to accommodate only one condom. Thus, when the first hollow rod picks up the condom and moves upward, the condom passes through the first guide channel. If the condoms are stacked, folded, or even hooked onto other condoms, the hooked condoms fall back into the hopper under the resistance of the first guide component 4. At the same time, the stacked and folded condoms are sorted and shaped, so that the opening and end of the condom hang down naturally, so that the condoms at the first position have a good arrangement, which is convenient for subsequent operations.

[0038] The push component 13 can be displaced under the push drive to bring the condom close to the material picking position 22, so that the material picking position can stably grasp the condom. In this embodiment, in order to avoid the first hollow rod interfering with the transfer unit 2 and reduce the positional accuracy requirements of the first hollow rod, the first hollow rod is often set at a distance from the transfer unit 2.

[0039] like Figure 2 and 3As shown, the pushing assembly 13 includes a pushing nozzle 131 and a pushing arm 132. The pushing nozzle 131 is connected to an external air source and includes a blowing nozzle facing the transfer unit. The blowing nozzle faces the material-taking position 22 of the transfer unit 2 at the corresponding position, and can blow condoms into the transfer unit 2. The pushing arm 132 includes a U-shaped pushing part, wherein the side wall of the pushing part facing the condom is provided with anti-slip texture to effectively push the condom. Figure 3 As shown, the pushing part is located on the piston rod of the pushing cylinder. The piston rod moves back and forth, which pushes the safety condom from the material taking position 22 of the safety condom box transfer unit 2.

[0040] The transfer unit 2 includes a turntable 21, which is mounted on and rotatably connected to the frame 6. A transfer drive is provided at a corresponding position on the frame 6, which can drive the turntable 21 to rotate. Four material picking positions 22 are arranged circumferentially on the outer edge of the turntable 21. The material picking positions 22 can pick up and transfer the safety condoms. In this embodiment, the material picking positions 22 are material picking holes provided on the outer edge of the turntable. The four material picking holes are interconnected and connected to an external vacuum pump. The material picking holes can pick up the safety condoms under the action of pressure difference. Then the turntable 21 rotates and transports the safety condoms to the second feeding unit 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the outer edge surface of the turntable 21 includes a plane 23 located near the material picking hole, and the plane 23 smoothly transitions with the adjacent material picking hole 22, such as... Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the turntable 21 is roughly square in shape. When the picking position 22 faces the first feeding unit 1, the picking position is in a lower position and faces the first feeding unit 1. When the picking position 22 picks up the condom and rotates 180° to transport it to the end of its stroke, the plane 23 on the outer edge of the turntable 21 is vertically set and laterally attached to the condom to support it. On the one hand, this facilitates the identification unit's identification and reduces the noise impact during the identification process. On the other hand, it facilitates the second feeding unit 3 to pick up the condom, avoiding the need to pick up the condom in a completely suspended state without any support. This helps to improve the success rate of picking up the condom and improve the stability and continuity of feeding. The design is ingenious.

[0042] In addition, the turntable 21 is designed such that after the feed hole picks up the condom, the turntable 21 drives the condom to move down and then up, so as to reduce friction on the condom and prevent the condom from flipping over during the process of the turntable 21 transporting the condom, thereby affecting the position of the condom when it reaches the end of the stroke.

[0043] In addition, two baffles 24 are provided on the frame 6 near the turntable 21 and facing the second feeding unit 3. The two baffles 24 form a vertical channel for transferring the safety sleeve. The second feeding unit 3 can pick up the safety sleeve in the vertical channel. The setting of the vertical channel reduces the "noise" introduced by ambient light when the recognition unit is working, which is conducive to improving the recognition effect of the recognition unit.

[0044] The identification unit is mounted on the frame 6 and includes a camera facing the vertical channel. The identification unit is used to identify the gripping position of the material picking position 22 on the condom at the end of its travel and sends a signal to the external controller. In this embodiment, the identification unit uses image recognition technology to determine the position of a specific condom in space by analyzing the image, thereby obtaining the gripping position of the material picking position 22 on the condom, which facilitates the second feeding unit 3 to pick up the condom at the set position. The identification of the gripping position of the material picking position 22 on the condom by the identification unit is existing technology, which can be selected by those skilled in the art according to their needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] The second feeding unit 3 includes a second suction component and a second suction drive. In this embodiment, the second suction component includes a second hollow rod, the lower end of which forms a second suction nozzle, and the upper end of which is connected to a vacuum pump.

[0046] The transfer device 5 is used to transfer the safety condoms gripped by the second feeding unit 3 to the electrical inspection machine 100 for electrical inspection. The transfer device 5 includes a crossbeam 51, a cantilever 52, and a transfer drive, such as... Figure 1 As shown, multiple vertical slide rails are fixedly connected to the crossbeam 5, and multiple second hollow rods are slidably mounted on the vertical slide rails at corresponding positions. The second suction drive is fixed on the slide rail and can drive the second hollow rods to slide up and down along the vertical slide rail. The cantilever 52 is fixed on the frame 6, and the crossbeam 51 and the cantilever 52 are slidably connected front and rear. The transfer drive is fixed on the frame 6 and can move away from the transfer unit 2 under the action of the transfer drive, transporting the suctioned safety sleeve to the electrical inspection machine 100.

[0047] The second suction drive is electrically connected to the controller. The controller is designed to set the sliding stroke of the second suction member along the vertical slide rail based on the gripping position of the condom at the end of the transfer unit 2's stroke. This ensures that the second suction member grips the condom at the set position, and after gripping, the condom hangs down naturally with the opening facing downwards. Figure 6 As shown.

[0048] In this embodiment, a background plate (not shown) is also included. The background plate is fixed on the frame 6 and faces the recognition unit to facilitate the recognition unit's image recognition of the condom. The background plate is made of a color with low brightness, such as black, which has a large difference in brightness from the condom, which helps to improve the accuracy of the recognition result. At the same time, it can also reduce the degree of ambient light entering the recognition area of ​​the recognition unit, which also helps to improve the accuracy of the recognition result.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, the electrical testing machine 100 includes a support unit 7, a plurality of electrical testing rods 101, and electrical testing units that are arranged one-to-one with the electrical testing rods 101. The electrical testing rods 101 are used to open the condom, and the electrical testing units are used to perform electrical testing on the opened condom. The electrical testing rods 101 and the electrical testing units are both existing technologies, and those skilled in the art can select them according to their needs. They will not be described in detail here.

[0050] like Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the support sleeve unit 7 includes a support sleeve drive 71 and a support sleeve assembly 72. A support sleeve slide rail 603 is provided at a corresponding position on the frame 6, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the support slide rail 603 is inclined, and the support assembly 72 includes a mounting plate 720, which is slidably connected to the support slide rail 603. The support drive 71 is mounted on the frame 6 and can drive the support assembly 72 to slide up and down along the support slide rail 603. The support drive 71 can drive the support assembly 72 to slide so as to receive the safety sleeve from the second feeding unit 3 and put the safety sleeve on the electric inspection rod 101 for electric inspection.

[0051] Specifically, the support sleeve assembly 72 includes a plurality of support sleeve openings 721 that correspond one-to-one with the second feeding unit 3. A plurality of support sleeve claws 722 are fitted inside the support sleeve openings 721. The mounting plate 720 is also provided with claw cylinders 723, which can drive the support sleeve claws 721 to slide radially to open the opening end of the safety sleeve.

[0052] The present invention has been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
