The outer wall of the bottom end of the positioning shaft 8 is circumferentially welded with a plurality of guide protrusions 13, and a plurality of guide grooves that cooperate with the guide protrusions 13 are circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 9. When the cylinder 6 drives the positioning sleeve 9 to move vertically along the positioning shaft 8, the guide protrusions 13 will slide synchronously in the guide grooves of the positioning sleeve 9. Thus, the position correction assembly can be smoothly and accurately adjusted vertically, effectively preventing the shaking or misalignment that may occur during adjustment. The two sides of the connection between the positioning sleeve 9 and the guide plate 4 are provided with reinforcing ribs 14, and the connection between the reinforcing ribs 14 and the positioning sleeve 9 and the guide plate 4 is welded. This structure can significantly enhance the structural strength and stability between the positioning sleeve 9 and the guide plate 4, avoiding structural deformation or rupture due to long-term use or large external forces, ensuring the rigidity of the guide plate 4 during product position correction. The guide rollers 5 are evenly distributed on the outside of the guide plate 4, and a flexible sheath is detachably arranged outside the guide rollers 5. The flexible sheath of this structure not only reduces the hard collision between the guide rollers 5 and the product, but also allows the replacement of flexible sheaths of different materials or thicknesses according to different product types, thereby adapting to products with different surface characteristics and reducing the risk of product surface damage. The flexible sheath is also easy to clean or replace regularly, ensuring that the guide rollers 5 always maintain good working condition.
[0018] Working principle: When using the visual detection automatic sorting device, first, the conveying belt 2 on the conveying frame 1 starts to operate through the driving mechanism, and the conveying belt 2 conveys the product towards the sorting port. When the product approaches the sorting area, the displacement sensor 10 detects the deviation of the product and sends a signal to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system starts the rotator 7, which moves horizontally on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 3 through the linear guide, driving the positioning shaft 8 and the positioning sleeve 9 to adjust until the positioning sleeve 9 drives the guide plate 4 and the guide roller 5 to adjust to the appropriate position on the conveying belt 2. The guide plate 4 contacts the product on the conveying belt 2 through the guide rollers 5 and applies appropriate correction force, allowing the product deviating from the center line to gradually return to the correct position. At the same time, the cylinder 6 drives the positioning sleeve 9 to move vertically along the positioning shaft 8. When the positioning sleeve 9 moves, the guide grooves slide along the outside of the guide protrusions 13. Until the positioning sleeve 9 drives the position correction assembly to move up and down to achieve vertical position fine adjustment, the product will better maintain a good and orderly state under the guidance of the guide roller 5 before being conveyed to the sorting port, providing high-quality detection conditions for the visual detection module 11, thereby completing a series of work.
