Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic detection and classification device, specifically to an automated monitoring and classification equipment for sleeve mixing. Background Technology

[0002] A socket wrench is generally called a socket. It consists of multiple sockets with hexagonal or dodecagonal holes, along with handles, extension rods, and other accessories. It is particularly suitable for tightening bolts or nuts in very confined or deeply recessed areas. During production, apart from socket wrenches with built-in handles, most socket wrenches are machined from cylindrical parts. As mentioned earlier, they have various internal holes. During manufacturing, two batches of goods with the same outer diameter but different inner holes may be mixed together. The traditional solution is manual inspection or random sampling. Manual inspection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, while random sampling may miss mixed-material production. Furthermore, this problem becomes even more difficult to solve in large-scale mixed-material production. Therefore, a device is needed to improve inspection efficiency and reduce errors. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention designs a hardware classification device for declassifying sleeves using visual classification software. It is adaptable to situations where sleeves are mixed, facilitating automated detection of each produced sleeve and thus preventing incorrect filling due to mixing.

[0004] This utility model provides an automated monitoring and classification device for sleeve mixing, which is automatically fed by a vibratory feeder. The output end of the vibratory feeder is equipped with a transition conveyor device, which conveys the sleeves to be tested to the testing device. The testing device is also equipped with a classification and unloading device.

[0005] The detection device includes: an annular transparent material circular plate, a servo motor set at the center of the circle, and a bracket sleeved on the rotating shaft of the servo motor to connect the annular transparent material circular plate;

[0006] A circular plate made of a transparent ring is used to divide the area into several sectors. The sectors are arranged in sequence according to the direction of rotation: feeding sector, first detection sector, second detection sector, third detection sector, unloading sector, and interval sector.

[0007] The feeding sector works in conjunction with the transitional conveyor; the unloading sector is equipped with a sorting and unloading device.

[0008] Preferably, the conveyor device includes a belt conveyor, with the input end of the belt conveyor parallel to the output port of the vibratory feeder, and a baffle assembly is provided on the input end. The baffle assembly includes two baffles, left and right, with the spacing between the baffles matching the width of the output port of the vibratory feeder. The baffles are set 1-5mm above the belt conveyor by a bracket, and the bottom plate of the output port of the vibratory feeder extends to the baffles between the belt conveyor.

[0009] At the output end of the belt conveyor, a notch is made in the frame of the transmission belt so that the outer circle of the annular transparent material circular plate is tangent to the belt surface of the belt conveyor.

[0010] A guide plate is installed at the output end of the belt conveyor. The working surface of the guide plate is arc-shaped. The guide plate is fixed above the belt surface of the belt conveyor by a bracket and extends above the annular transparent plate.

[0011] The baffle plate can effectively reduce the possibility of the sleeve tilting out of the vibratory feeder, thus keeping the sleeve at the detection angle.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the sorting and unloading device includes: an unloading conveyor belt, with several channels separated by partitions on the top surface of the unloading conveyor belt, and an air blowing device installed at the entrance of each channel; the unloading conveyor belt is positioned with its plane lower than the annular transparent circular plate.

[0013] The outlet of the unloading conveyor belt is equipped with several unloading tracks, which are connected to the channel one by one.

[0014] When the inspected sleeve moves to the air blowing device in the corresponding channel, the air blowing device blows air into the sleeve and onto the unloading conveyor belt, where it is transported to the unloading track.

[0015] As a preferred option, an automatic material frame switching device is installed at the end of the feeding track;

[0016] The automatic material frame switching device includes two parallel conveyor devices, which are in opposite directions.

[0017] A toggle device is provided at the end of the conveying device; the toggle device is a linear motor, a linear motor frame is provided along the end of the conveying device, and an L-shaped baffle is provided on the body of the linear motor;

[0018] The conveying device is a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor.

[0019] The material frame, or hopper, is used to hold the material output from the feed track, and the automatic material frame switching device is used to avoid manual replacement of the material frames. The system uses a conveyor that feeds the material onto the feed track as input and the opposite conveyor as output. The material frames are arranged on the input conveyor. When operation begins, the conveyor rotates, moving the material frames within the L-shaped baffle range of the actuating device. Then, the conveyor stops rotating, and a linear motor moves the material frames horizontally from the first conveyor to the second conveyor until a replacement is needed. The second conveyor then moves the full material frames to the next working device, while the actuating device resets, repeating the cycle.

[0020] Preferably, the first and second detection sectors use the same detection device, which includes:

[0021] A frame is erected, and a light panel, a ring light panel, and a camera are sequentially set on the frame, with the center of the light panel, the center of the ring light panel, and the imaging center line of the camera on the same vertical line; wherein a ring-shaped transparent plate is sandwiched between the light panel and the ring light panel.

[0022] Furthermore, the cameras of the detection devices on the first and second detection sectors are set in opposite directions.

[0023] As a preferred option, a fourth detection camera is also installed on the radial line at the junction of the first detection sector and the second detection sector;

[0024] The light panel is suspended above the servo motor by a bracket, and the center of the light panel is on the same radial line as the imaging center line of the fourth detection camera.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Example

[0032] The automated monitoring and classification equipment for sleeve mixing is automatically fed by a vibratory feeder 1. The output end of the vibratory feeder is equipped with a transition conveyor 3, which conveys the sleeves to be tested to the detection device. The detection device is also equipped with a classification and feeding device.

[0033] The detection device includes: an annular transparent material circular plate 5, a servo motor 7 set at the center of the circle, and a bracket sleeved on the rotating shaft of the servo motor to connect the annular transparent material circular plate;

[0034] A circular plate made of a transparent ring is used to divide the area into several sectors. The sectors are arranged in sequence according to the direction of rotation: feeding sector, first detection sector, second detection sector, third detection sector, unloading sector, and interval sector.

[0035] The feeding sector works in conjunction with the transitional conveyor; the unloading sector is equipped with a sorting and unloading device.

[0036] In this embodiment, a 1cm thick acrylic ring plate is used as the annular transparent material ring plate 5.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveyor device shown includes a belt conveyor 3, which is set parallel to the output port of the vibratory feeder at the input end of the belt conveyor. A baffle assembly 2 is set on the input end. The baffle assembly includes two baffles 2, left and right. The spacing between the baffles matches the width of the output port of the vibratory feeder. The baffles are set 1-5mm above the belt conveyor by a bracket. The bottom plate of the output port of the vibratory feeder extends to the baffles between the belt conveyor.

[0038] At the output end of the belt conveyor, a notch is made in the frame of the transmission belt so that the outer circle of the annular transparent material circular plate is tangent to the belt surface of the belt conveyor.

[0039] A guide plate is provided at the output end of the belt conveyor. The working surface of the guide plate is arc-shaped. The guide plate is fixed above the belt surface of the belt conveyor by the guide plate fixing bracket 4. The guide plate extends above the annular transparent material circular plate.

[0040] The sleeve moves to the left under the drive of the conveyor belt. Figure 2 The device moves from the center (into the center) to the annular transparent circular plate 5, then is guided by a guide plate to the ring-shaped second guide plate 6. As the ring-shaped transparent circular plate 5 rotates, it is further guided by a disc-shaped second guide plate 6, ultimately positioning itself on a fixed circumference to prevent the detection device from failing to detect the correct area. The disc-shaped second guide plate 6 is fixed by a bracket.

[0041] like Figure 3 The first and second detection sectors shown use the same detection device, which includes:

[0042] 8. A frame is erected, and a light panel 9, a ring light panel 10, and a camera 11 are set on the frame in sequence, so that the center of the light panel, the center of the ring light panel, and the imaging center line of the camera are on the same vertical line; wherein a ring-shaped transparent material circular plate is sandwiched between the light panel and the ring light panel.

[0043] Furthermore, the cameras of the detection devices on the first and second detection sectors are set in opposite directions.

[0044] Figure 3 The given detection device is the setup for the first detection sector, while the setup for the second detection sector, from top to bottom, consists of a camera, a ring-shaped light panel, a ring-shaped transparent material circular plate sandwiched in the middle, and the light panel.

[0045] The detection device setup for the third detection sector is the same as that for the second detection sector. The difference is that the ring light panel and the light panel in the third detection sector use different colors, so it will not be described again.

[0046] A fourth detection camera is also installed on the radial line at the junction of the first detection sector and the second detection sector;

[0047] The light plate 12 is suspended above the servo motor by a bracket, and the center of the suspended light plate 12 is on the same radial line as the imaging center line of the fourth detection camera.

[0048] The fourth detection camera is mainly used for detecting the side of the column.

[0049] The sorting and unloading device includes: an unloading conveyor belt, with several channels separated by partitions on the top surface of the unloading conveyor belt, and an air blowing device installed at the entrance of each channel; the unloading conveyor belt is set with a plane lower than the annular transparent circular plate;

[0050] The outlet of the unloading conveyor belt is equipped with several unloading tracks, which are connected to the channel one by one.

[0051] When the inspected sleeve moves to the corresponding air blowing device, the air blowing device blows the sleeve into the unloading conveyor belt, which then transports it to the unloading track. A short-range infrared transceiver module easily determines which air blowing device the sleeve is in front of, and the software then determines whether to blow it into the corresponding unloading track.

[0052] like Figure 4 An automatic material frame switching device is provided at the end of the feeding track 13 as shown;

[0053] The automatic material frame switching device includes two parallel conveyor devices, which are in opposite directions.

[0054] A toggle device is provided at the end of the conveying device; the toggle device is a linear motor, a linear motor frame is provided along the end of the conveying device, and an L-shaped baffle 16 is provided on the body of the linear motor.

[0055] The conveying device is a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor.

[0056] The material frame 17, or hopper, is used to hold the material output from the feeding track, while the automatic material frame switching device is used to avoid manual replacement of the material frames. The conveyor that feeds the material onto the feeding track is the input, and the opposite direction is the output. The material frames are arranged on the input conveyor. When operation begins, the conveyor rotates, moving the material frames within the L-shaped baffle range of the actuating device. Then, the conveyor stops rotating, and a linear motor moves the material frames horizontally from the first conveyor 14 to the second conveyor 15. When a material frame needs to be replaced, the second conveyor operates, moving the full material frame to the next working device, while the actuating device resets, repeating the aforementioned cycle.

[0057] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
