[0002] Rebar inspection is widely used in various construction projects, especially in structures with high requirements for rebar quality, such as high-rise buildings, bridges, and tunnels. Through rebar inspection, problems with the rebar can be detected and addressed in a timely manner, ensuring project quality and safety.
[0003] Reinforcing bars are mainly cylindrical, and marking methods such as stickers and inkjet printing on their surfaces are prone to problems such as peeling and difficulty in identification. A large accumulation of reinforcing bar samples to be inspected can easily lead to errors or even loss of inspection information. Therefore, how to improve the automatic feeding rate of reinforcing bar inspection and improve the inspection efficiency has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding device for reinforcing bar testing, in order to solve the technical problem of incorrect or lost testing information caused by the accumulation of reinforcing bar samples that need to be tested. The device aims to paste the testing information onto the tray to prevent the testing information from being confused or lost between reinforcing bars.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic rebar detection and feeding device, comprising:
[0006] A robotic arm, comprising a gripper and a rotating arm, wherein the end of the gripper is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating arm;
[0007] An AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) trolley, the top of which is detachably equipped with a tray, and the side wall of the tray has a groove on which a sticker is affixed;
[0008] The pallet contains reinforcing bars, the robotic arm is used to grab the reinforcing bars, and the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is used to drive the pallet to move.
[0009] Furthermore, multiple AGVs are provided, and each of the multiple AGVs is equipped with a tray.
[0010] Furthermore, a baffle frame is provided at the top of the tray, and the bottom end of the baffle frame is attached to the top edge of the tray.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model uses a tray to attach the labels with the rebar inspection information to the tray, which avoids the labels from falling off and being lost easily when they are attached to the rebar. Also, it prevents the labels from falling off and mixing together and becoming indistinguishable. The tray allows for batch inspection of the rebar, improving the efficiency of rebar inspection.
[0018] 2. This utility model, by setting up a robotic arm, allows the AGV trolley to pass through a barcode scanner.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] Example:
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic rebar inspection and feeding device includes: a robotic arm 1, an AGV trolley 2, and a barcode scanner 4. The AGV trolley 2 carries the rebar through the barcode scanner 4 for scanning. The barcode scanner 4 sends a signal to the robotic arm 1, and the robotic arm 1 grabs the rebar on the AGV trolley 2 and places it on the inspection instrument for inspection.
[0026] The robotic arm 1 is equipped with a vision sensor. The robotic arm 1 includes a clamp 11 and a rotating arm 12. The end of the clamp 11 is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating arm 12. After receiving a signal, the rotating arm 12 rotates under the adjustment of the vision sensor, which drives the clamp 11 to rotate until the clamp 11 clamps the steel bar. The bottom end of the robotic arm 1 is equipped with a base 13. The robotic arm 1 moves on the horizontal plane through the base 13, thereby loading the gripped steel bar onto the detection instrument.
[0027] In this embodiment, the top of the AGV trolley 2 is detachably equipped with a tray 3, and the side wall of the tray 3 has a groove 31, on which a label 32 is pasted. After the testing instrument receives the sample, it enters the basic information of the steel bar sample into the system and generates a steel bar testing information sheet AB label 32, where A represents the test group number sequence and B represents the quantity of steel bars in that group. The label 32 is pasted in the groove 31 to prevent the label 32 from falling off and causing confusion or loss of steel bar information. Multiple AGV trolleys 2 are provided, and each AGV trolley 2 is equipped with a tray 3. After the robotic arm 1 removes the steel bars from the AGV trolley 2, the AGV trolley returns to its original position. The next AGV trolley 2 carries the next batch of steel bars and moves to the robotic arm 1 through the barcode scanner 4 to grab and load the material.
[0028] In this embodiment, a steel bar is placed inside the tray 3, the robotic arm 1 is used to grab the steel bar, and the AGV trolley 2 is used to drive the tray 3 to move. A baffle frame 33 is provided at the top of the tray 3, and the bottom end of the baffle frame 33 is attached to the top edge of the tray 3. The steel bar is surrounded by the baffle frame 33 to prevent the steel bar from shaking and falling off during the process of the AGV trolley 2 moving the steel bar.
[0029] In this embodiment, a scanner 41 is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the barcode scanner 4. The AGV trolley 2 drives the tray 3 through the barcode scanner 4. The scanner 41 is used to scan the label 32. After scanning the label 32, the scanner 41 completes the barcode registration and assigns the detection instrument. Then, it sends the signal to the robotic arm 1. The AGV trolley 2 moves to the robotic arm 1 and stops moving. The robotic arm 1 grabs the steel bar and feeds it to the corresponding detection instrument for detection.
[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the robotic arm 1 is slidably connected to a ground rail 5, and the top end of the ground rail 5 is provided with a horizontal groove 51. The base 13 slides within the groove 51. The robotic arm 1 slides on the ground rail 5 to transport the steel bars to the testing instrument. The robotic arm 1 is electrically connected to the barcode scanner 4. The barcode scanner 4 sends a signal to the robotic arm 1 to make the robotic arm 1 grab the steel bars. The tray 3 is equipped with a weight sensor inside. The tray 3 is electrically connected to the AGV trolley 2. After all the steel bars on the tray 3 have been removed, the weight sensor sends a signal to the AGV trolley 2. The AGV trolley 2 moves back to its original position. The next AGV trolley 2 carries the steel bars through the barcode scanner 4 to the robotic arm 1 and transports them to the testing instrument. The above steps are repeated until all the steel bars have been tested.
[0031] In summary, after receiving the samples, the testing instrument enters the basic information of the steel bar samples into the system, generating a steel bar testing information sheet AB label 32. The label 32 is affixed to the groove 31. The steel bar is placed in the tray 3. The AGV trolley 2 scans the label 32 by the scanner 41 of the barcode scanner 4, completing the barcode registration and thus allocating the testing instrument. The barcode scanner 4 then sends a signal to the robotic arm 1. The AGV trolley 2 moves to the robotic arm 1 and stops moving. The robotic arm 1 grabs the steel bar and loads it onto the corresponding testing instrument for testing. After all the steel bars on the tray 3 are removed, the weight sensor sends a signal to the AGV trolley 2. The AGV trolley 2 moves back to its original position. The next AGV trolley 2, carrying steel bars, passes through the barcode scanner 4 to the robotic arm 1 and transports them to the testing instrument. The above steps are repeated until all the steel bars have been tested.
