Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel plate sorting, and in particular to a visual sorting device for steel plate unloading. Background Technology

[0002] Steel plates are sheets of rolled steel, typically with a certain thickness, width, and length. Steel plates can be flat or curved. Due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of processing, steel plates are widely used in industrial production and construction engineering. Steel plate cutting and sorting refers to the process of classifying, organizing, and storing the cut steel plates according to their different sizes, materials, thicknesses, and other characteristics during the steel plate processing.

[0003] Existing steel plate sorting methods involve capturing images with a camera, then using image processing and recognition technologies to locate the steel plates. This allows a robotic arm to operate, bringing a suction cup into contact with the steel plate and lifting it for sorting. However, during the sorting process, the camera lens is easily contaminated by oil or dust, resulting in unclear image capture and low image quality. This affects the efficiency of steel plate sorting and makes the process inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a vision sorting device for steel plate unloading that can automatically clean oil or dust from camera lenses, is simple to operate, facilitates camera lens cleaning, improves ease of use, enhances image acquisition quality, and increases steel plate sorting efficiency. Utility Model Content

The connecting pipe is connected to the rear of the sliding frame and is rotatably connected to the scrubbing disc.

[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a brushing disc to contact the camera lens, allowing water to flow onto the lens. Then, a third motor drives a gear to rotate, causing the brushing disc to rotate and perform brushing. This automatically cleans oil or dust from the camera lens, making it easy to operate, convenient for cleaning the camera lens, improving ease of use, improving image acquisition quality, and increasing the efficiency of steel plate sorting.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] A vision sorting device for steel plate unloading, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, a first motor 2, a lead screw 3, a guide rod 4, a slider 5, a robotic arm 6, an electric suction cup 7, a second motor 8, a mounting bracket 9, a camera 10, a support frame 11, a sliding frame 12, a third motor 13, a gear 14, a brush plate 15, a connecting pipe 16, and an electric push rod 17. The base 1 has three shock-absorbing pads on its front and rear undersides for vibration reduction during operation. The first motor 2 is connected to the left side of the base 1. The lead screw 3 is rotatably connected to the front of the base 1, and the lead screw 3 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 2. The guide rod 4 is connected to the rear of the base 1. A slider 5 is threaded onto the lead screw 3. Both the guide rod 4 and the base 1 are slidably connected to the slider 5. A robotic arm 6 is connected to the slider 5, and the robotic arm 6 has three joints. An electric suction cup 7 is connected to the robotic arm 6. A second motor 8 is connected to the upper part of the robotic arm 6. A fixed frame 9 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 8. A camera 10 is sleeved on the fixed frame 9. A support frame 11 is connected to the right side of the robotic arm 6. A sliding frame 12 is slidably connected to the rear of the support frame 11. A third motor 13 is connected to the middle of the sliding frame 12. A gear 14 is connected to the output shaft of the third motor 13. A brushing disc 15 is rotatably connected to the left rear of the sliding frame 12. A gear 14 is also connected to the right side of the brushing disc 15. The two gears 14 mesh with each other. A connecting pipe 16 is connected to the rear of the sliding frame 12. The connecting pipe 16 is rotatably connected to the brushing disc 15. An electric push rod 17 is connected to the front of the support frame 11. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 17 is connected to the sliding frame 12.

[0021] When steel plates need to be sorted after unloading, this device can be used. The device is brought to the sorting location, allowing the shock-absorbing pads to contact the ground. The shock-absorbing pads absorb vibrations during operation. Then, the camera 10 is connected to the mounting bracket 9. The first motor 2 is then started, driving the lead screw 3 to rotate. Under the action of the screw, the slider 5 moves, which in turn moves the robotic arm 6. This causes the second motor 8, mounting bracket 9, camera 10, and support frame 11 to move. Simultaneously, the robotic arm 6 and the second motor 8 are started, driving the electric suction cup 7 and camera 10 to move. The robotic arm 6 has three joints. The second motor 8 drives the mounting bracket 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the camera 10 to rotate, thus enabling… The position of camera 10 can be adjusted to acquire images of the steel plate, increasing the image acquisition range, ensuring image clarity, and improving usability. After acquisition, image processing technology is used to process the acquired image, extracting key features of the steel plate, such as shape, size, and position. Then, based on the recognition and positioning results, slider 5 moves, driving robotic arm 6, which in turn moves electric suction cup 7, bringing it into contact with the steel plate. Electric suction cup 7 is then activated to pick up the steel plate. Robotic arm 6 then reverses the movement of electric suction cup 7, causing the steel plate to move in the opposite direction. Finally, electric suction cup 7 is deactivated, causing the steel plate to fall into the sorting box for sorting. Repeat the above operation until the steel plate sorting is completed. When the lens of camera 10 is covered with dust or oil during the sorting process, rotate camera 10. After rotating to the appropriate position, activate the electric push rod 17 on the support frame 11. The electric push rod 17 drives the sliding frame 12 to move, which in turn drives the third motor 13, gear 14, brush plate 15, and connecting pipe 16 to move, so that the brush plate 15 contacts the lens of camera 10. Then, an external water source is connected through the connecting pipe 16, allowing water to enter the connecting pipe 16 and flow into the brush plate 15, so that the water flows on the lens of camera 10. Next, activate the third motor 13, which drives the gear 14 to rotate. The two gears 14 mesh with each other, causing the brush plate 15 to rotate, thereby aligning the brush plate with the lens of camera 10. The camera 10 lens is brushed to automatically clean oil or dust from it. The operation is simple and convenient, improving ease of use, image acquisition quality, and steel plate sorting efficiency. After cleaning, the third motor 13 is turned off, and the electric push rod 17 is activated in reverse, causing the third motor 13, gear 14, brushing disc 15, and connecting pipe 16 to move in opposite directions, disengaging the brushing disc 15 from the camera 10 lens. Then, the second motor 8 is activated, causing the mounting bracket 9 and camera 10 to rotate in opposite directions for continued use. After sorting, the first motor 2, robotic arm 6, and second motor 8 are turned off. The camera 10 is then disengaged from the mounting bracket 9 and removed.
