Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard transfer technology, and in particular to a cardboard transfer device with visual positioning. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the paperboard production and processing process, the transfer and screening of paperboard are mostly achieved by conveyor belt conveying combined with mechanical limiting or simple manual inspection. Unqualified paperboard is identified by manual observation or basic mechanical structure to complete the initial conveying and sorting operations.
[0003] In existing technologies, identified non-conforming cardboard needs to be manually removed one by one from the conveyor line. The lack of corresponding automated diversion and centralized collection structures not only increases the workload of manual labor, but also easily leads to the accumulation of non-conforming products due to the lag in manual operation, making it impossible to achieve efficient centralized collection of non-conforming cardboard, thereby disrupting the continuity of the production process. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a cardboard transfer device with visual positioning. After being blown by the screening component, the unqualified cardboard flows into the second conveyor belt along the guide plate, while the qualified cardboard directly enters the first conveyor belt. This solution realizes the automated diversion and centralized collection of unqualified cardboard without the need for manual removal, thus solving the problems of heavy manual labor and inability to centrally collect unqualified products in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a cardboard transfer device with visual positioning, comprising an operating table, a conveyor belt, a support frame, a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, a guide plate, a visual inspection device, a screening component, and a positioning component. The conveyor belt is mounted on the operating table, and the support frame is fixedly connected to one side of the operating table. The first and second conveyor belts are vertically distributed and mounted on the inner wall of the support frame, with the upper surfaces of the first and second conveyor belts at the same horizontal plane. The guide plate is obliquely fixedly connected to the outer wall of the operating table and located between the conveyor belt and the first conveyor belt. The support frame is fixedly connected to the operating table, and the visual inspection device is mounted on the support frame. The screening component is mounted on the support frame and located between the conveyor belt and the first conveyor belt. Two sets of positioning components are provided and symmetrically mounted on the operating table, located on both sides of the conveyor belt.
[0007] This utility model discloses a cardboard transfer device with visual positioning. Cardboard is placed on a conveyor belt for transport, and a positioning component calibrates its posture. A visual inspection device collects images to determine the qualified status. Qualified cardboard is transferred via the first conveyor belt, while unqualified cardboard triggers a blowing component to slide along a guide plate into the second conveyor belt for centralized collection. This achieves automated diversion and eliminates the need for manual removal of unqualified products, solving the problem in the prior art where unqualified products need to be manually removed and cannot be centrally collected.
[0008] In addition, the cardboard transfer device with visual positioning proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:
[0009] Specifically, the screening assembly includes a blower, a positioning frame, nozzles, and connecting pipes. The blower is mounted on the operating table, the positioning frame is fixedly connected to the support frame, and multiple nozzles are installed at equal intervals on the inner top of the positioning frame. The connecting pipes are provided between the blower and the multiple nozzles and are connected to each other through the connecting pipes.
[0010] Specifically, the positioning assembly includes a support side plate, a driving device, a driving arm, and a push plate. The support side plate is symmetrically fixedly connected to the operating table and located on both sides of the conveyor belt. The driving device is installed on the outer wall of the support side plate. The output end of the driving device passes through the outer wall of the support side plate and is fixedly connected to one end of the driving arm. One side of the push plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the driving arm.
[0011] Specifically, the end of the guide plate is close to the surface of the second conveyor belt.
[0012] Specifically, multiple air nozzles are located between the conveyor belt and the first conveyor belt.
[0013] Specifically, the bottom of the pusher plate abuts against the upper surface of the conveyor belt.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Rather, the embodiments of this utility model include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0025] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes a cardboard transfer device with visual positioning according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the cardboard transfer device with visual positioning according to this utility model embodiment may include an operating table 1, a conveyor belt 2, a fixed frame 3, a first conveyor belt 4, a second conveyor belt 5, a guide plate 6, a support frame 7, a visual inspection device 8, a screening component 9, and a positioning component 10.
[0027] The conveyor belt 2 is installed on the operating table 1, the fixed frame 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the operating table 1, the first conveyor belt 4 and the second conveyor belt 5 are installed vertically on the inner wall of the fixed frame 3, and the upper surface of the first conveyor belt 4 and the conveyor belt 2 are on the same horizontal plane. The guide plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the operating table 1 in an inclined shape, and the guide plate 6 is located between the conveyor belt 2 and the first conveyor belt 4. The support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the operating table 1, and the vision inspection device 8 is installed on the support frame 7.
[0028] It should be noted that the flush arrangement of the first conveyor belt 4 and the conveyor belt 2 described in this embodiment ensures a smooth transition for qualified cardboard during transport, preventing the cardboard from getting stuck or shifting at the junction of the conveyor belt 2 and the first conveyor belt 4 due to height differences. The first conveyor belt 4 and the second conveyor belt 5, which are distributed vertically, are fixedly assembled by the fixing frame 3 to form independent transport channels for qualified and unqualified products, without interfering with each other. The inclined guide plate 6 can assist unqualified cardboard to slide smoothly to the second conveyor belt 5 below by its own inclination angle. At the same time, the vision inspection device 8 is installed above the operating table 1 through the support frame 7, which can perform comprehensive and unobstructed image acquisition of the cardboard transported on the conveyor belt 2 from the vertical direction, ensuring the integrity of the inspection field of view and improving the accuracy of feature recognition.
[0029] It should be understood that the visual inspection device 8 may include a mounting base, an industrial camera, a high-definition lens, a supplementary lighting component, an image processing module, and a signal transmission interface. It performs real-time analysis on the acquired images and determines the qualified status of the cardboard. The signal transmission interface synchronizes the determination results to the control system, thereby controlling the start and stop of the screening component 9.
[0030] The screening component 9 is installed on the fixed frame 3 and located between the conveyor belt 2 and the first conveyor belt 4. Two sets of positioning components 10 are provided and are symmetrically installed on the operating table 1 and located on both sides of the conveyor belt 2.
[0031] It should be noted that the screening component 9 described in this embodiment is fixed between the conveyor belt 2 and the first conveyor belt 4 by the fixing frame 3. This layout allows the wind-powered screening action to be precisely applied to the key node when the cardboard is about to enter the first conveyor belt 4, ensuring timely screening response and preventing the cardboard from missing the diversion opportunity. The two sets of symmetrically distributed positioning components 10 are symmetrically assembled on the operating table 1 and located on both sides of the conveyor belt 2. They can perform bidirectional limiting and attitude calibration from both sides of the cardboard, effectively preventing the cardboard from shifting or tilting laterally when it is conveyed on the conveyor belt 2. This provides reliable attitude assurance for the accurate identification of the subsequent visual inspection device 8 and the stable operation of the screening component 9, ensuring the accuracy of the diversion operation.
[0032] Specifically, the cardboard to be inspected is placed on conveyor belt 2 and the conveying is started. Two sets of positioning components 10, symmetrically installed on both sides of the operating table 1, perform bidirectional limiting and posture calibration from both sides of the cardboard to prevent lateral deviation or skewing. When the cardboard is conveyed to the area below the vision inspection device 8 on the support frame 7 above the operating table 1, the vision inspection device 8 acquires images of the cardboard surface through the mounting base, industrial camera, high-definition lens, and supplementary lighting components. The image processing module's built-in algorithm analyzes and determines the cardboard's pass / fail status in real time, and then synchronizes the results to the control system through the signal transmission interface. If the cardboard is determined to be passable, the control system does not activate the screening component 9, and the cardboard smoothly transitions along the first conveyor belt 4, which is flush with the conveyor belt 2, and continues to be conveyed. If the cardboard is determined to be non-passable, the control system activates the positioning components 10 installed on the support frame 7 above the operating table 1. The screening component 9, located on the fixed frame 3 between the conveyor belt 2 and the first conveyor belt 4, is powered by air through the nozzle 93. This causes the cardboard to detach from the conveying track of the first conveyor belt 4 and slide smoothly along the inclined guide plate 6 to the lower second conveyor belt 5, thus separating and transferring qualified and unqualified cardboard. The device automatically identifies unqualified cardboard through the vision detection device 8. Together with the screening component 9, guide plate 6, and second conveyor belt 5, it forms an automated diversion and centralized collection structure. There is no need for manual removal of unqualified products from the conveyor line. The unqualified cardboard is directly collected centrally through the second conveyor belt 5, which reduces the burden of manual labor and avoids the production process interruption caused by the accumulation of unqualified products. It effectively solves the problem in the background technology that unqualified products need to be removed manually and cannot be collected centrally.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the screening component 9 includes a blower 91, a positioning frame 92, air nozzles 93, and a connecting pipe 94. The blower 91 is installed on the operating table 1, the positioning frame 92 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 3, and multiple air nozzles 93 are installed at equal intervals on the inner top of the positioning frame 92. A connecting pipe 94 is provided between the blower 91 and the multiple air nozzles 93, and they are connected through the connecting pipe 94.
[0034] It should be noted that the positioning frame 92 described in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 3, which can provide a stable installation base for multiple air nozzles 93, ensuring that the air nozzles 93 will not be displaced when the wind is applied. The air nozzles 93 distributed at equal intervals can make the blowing range evenly cover the width direction of the cardboard, avoiding the failure of screening due to insufficient local wind. The connecting pipe 94 realizes the sealed connection between the blower 91 and the air nozzles 93, reducing wind power loss. The blower 91 is installed on the operating table 1 for easy maintenance and repair in the later stage, and does not occupy the space of the screening area.
[0035] Specifically, when the visual inspection device 8 determines that the cardboard is a defective product and feeds the signal back to the control system, the control system starts the fan 91 on the operating table 1. The airflow generated by the fan 91 is delivered to multiple air nozzles 93 on the positioning frame 92 through the connecting pipe 94. The air nozzles 93 blow air downwards evenly onto the defective cardboard, causing the cardboard to leave the conveying track of the first conveyor belt 4. This design replaces manual removal operation with automated air screening. The defective cardboard can be directly guided to the second conveyor belt 5 for centralized collection, effectively solving the problem in the background technology that defective products need to be removed manually and cannot be collected centrally.
[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the positioning assembly 10 includes a support side plate 101, a drive device 102, a drive arm 103, and a push plate 104. The support side plate 101 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the operating table 1 and located on both sides of the conveyor belt 2. The drive device 102 is installed on the outer wall of the support side plate 101. The output end of the drive device 102 passes through the outer wall of the support side plate 101 and is fixedly connected to one end of the drive arm 103. One side of the push plate 104 is fixedly connected to the other end of the drive arm 103.
[0037] It should be noted that the support side plate 101 described in this embodiment is symmetrically fixed on the operating table 1, which can provide a stable installation support for the drive device 102 and ensure the structural stability during the drive process. The drive device 102 is connected to the push plate 104 through the drive arm 103, which can realize the precise displacement adjustment of the push plate 104. The structure of the push plate 104 is adapted to the width of the cardboard and can clamp and calibrate the cardboard from both sides, avoiding uneven local force that causes the cardboard to tilt.
[0038] Specifically, when the cardboard is conveyed on the conveyor belt 2, the drive device 102 on the support side plate 101 is activated, and the push plate 104 is moved towards the center of the conveyor belt 2 through the drive arm 103. It limits and calibrates the cardboard from both sides, ensuring that the cardboard is conveyed to the visual inspection device 8 in a regular posture, which provides a guarantee for accurate detection. At the same time, it avoids the failure of the screening component 9 due to cardboard deviation, and indirectly ensures that unqualified cardboard can be accurately diverted to the second conveyor belt 5 for centralized collection without manual intervention to adjust the position of the cardboard. This further solves the problem of heavy manual operation and inability to collect unqualified products in the background technology.
[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the end of the guide plate 6 is close to the surface of the second conveyor belt 5.
[0040] It should be noted that the design of the guide plate 6 with its end close to the surface of the second conveyor belt 5 described in this embodiment can minimize the gap between the guide plate 6 and the second conveyor belt 5, prevent unqualified cardboard from getting stuck in the gap during the sliding process, and ensure that the cardboard is stable when it slides into the second conveyor belt 5, preventing it from tipping over or folding, and ensuring the smoothness of centralized collection.
[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, multiple air nozzles 93 are located between conveyor belt 2 and the first conveyor belt 4.
[0042] It should be noted that the layout of the air nozzle 93 described in this embodiment, located between the conveyor belt 2 and the first conveyor belt 4, enables the air force to be precisely applied to the key node where the cardboard is about to switch conveyor belts. At this time, the cardboard is in the transition area of the conveying trajectory, and it is easier to change the direction of movement after being subjected to force. At the same time, this position will not interfere with the normal conveying action of the conveyor belt 2 or the first conveyor belt 4, ensuring the overall coordination of the equipment operation.
[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the bottom of the push plate 104 abuts against the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2.
[0044] It should be noted that the design of the push plate 104 in this embodiment, which abuts against the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2, can form an all-round limit from the bottom to the side of the cardboard, effectively preventing the cardboard from floating or curling during the conveying process, ensuring that the cardboard is always in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 2 and is conveyed smoothly. At the same time, it improves the accuracy of posture calibration and provides clear and regular inspection images for the vision inspection device 8.
[0045] In summary, the cardboard transfer device with visual positioning of this utility model allows cardboard to be placed on the conveyor belt 2 for transport. The positioning component 10 calibrates its posture, and the visual detection device 8 collects images to determine the qualified status. Qualified cardboard is transferred via the first conveyor belt 4, while unqualified cardboard triggers the screening component 9 to blow air and slides along the guide plate 6 into the second conveyor belt 5 for centralized collection. This achieves automated diversion and eliminates the need for manual removal of unqualified products, solving the problem in the prior art where unqualified products need to be manually removed and cannot be centrally collected.
[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
