[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a chain link missing component detection conveyor, including a base plate 1; a stand 16 is welded to the upper side of the base plate 1, an air supply station 25 is installed on the upper side of the base plate 1, a control unit 15 is assembled on the upper side of the base plate 1, and a collection basket 3 is placed on the upper side of the base plate 1; it also includes a shooting frame 2, a slide 7, and the stand 16; a support plate 9 is bolted to the left side of the stand 16, a guide plate 11 is glued to the lower side of the support plate 9, and the guide plate 11 is tightly glued to the slide 7; a stand 14 is bolted to the left side of the stand 16, a light plate 13 is installed on the right side of the stand 14, a support plate 18 is welded to the right side of the stand 16, and a motor frame 2 is bolted to the left side of the stand 16. 4. A conveyor motor 21 is bolted to the left side of the motor frame 24. An active sleeve 27 is mounted on the motor shaft of the conveyor motor 21. A synchronous belt 22 is fitted on the outer side of the active sleeve 27. The other end of the synchronous belt 22 is fitted on the outer side of the driven drum 23. A rotating rod 19 is welded to the inner side of the driven drum 23. A cylinder 12 is bolted to the left side of the stand 16. A pusher 17 is mounted on the telescopic rod of the cylinder 12. A visual camera 4 is set on the left side of the shooting frame 2. A base plate 1 is bolted to the lower side of the shooting frame 2. A bracket 6 is welded to the upper side of the base plate 1. The bracket 6 has a through hole that runs from left to right. A rotating rod 19 is rotatably connected to the through hole of the bracket 6 through a bearing.

[0023] In this embodiment, there are two sets of support plates 9, symmetrically distributed front and rear. A first infrared counting sensor 20 is installed on the upper side of the front support plate 9, and a second infrared counting sensor 8 is installed on the upper side of the rear support plate 9. Each set of support plates 9 has an L-shaped folded plate structure, with a through hole at the center of the upper side of the L-shaped structure. The first infrared counting sensor 20 and the second infrared counting sensor 8 are respectively inserted into the through holes of the two sets of support plates 9. The first infrared counting sensor 20 detects the number of parts assembled by the chain link assembly machine, and the second infrared counting sensor 8... The line counting sensor 8 detects the number of parts entering the outer link assembly machine. If the number of parts entering detected by the second infrared counting sensor 8 is less than the number of parts exiting detected by the first infrared counting sensor 20, the first infrared counting sensor 20 and the second infrared counting sensor 8 transmit the detected comparison data to the PLC controller 15. The PLC controller 15 controls the assembly speed of the inner link assembly machine and the assembly speed of the outer link assembly machine, thereby improving the coordinated linkage between the inner and outer link assembly machines and ensuring the processing speed and efficiency of the inner and outer links of the chain.

[0024] In this embodiment, the support frame 16 is provided with two sets of through holes that extend from left to right. Two sets of rotating rods 19 are rotatably connected to the two sets of through holes of the support frame 16. The upper side of the support frame 16 is provided with a through-hole groove structure that extends from left to right. The light plate 13 is embedded in the through-hole groove of the support frame 16. The visual camera 4 is opposite to the through-hole groove of the support frame 16. The backlight formed by the light plate 13 on the inner link allows the visual camera 4 to clearly identify the structural outline of the inner link, thereby automatically detecting the missing parts of the inner link.

[0025] In this embodiment, there are four sets of guide plates 11, with each pair of guide plates 11 symmetrically distributed on the left and right. The guide plates 11 are made of high-transparency glass. By utilizing the light transmittance of the high-transparency glass, the visual camera 4 can clearly capture the backlit image of the inner link formed by the light plate 13 to detect missing parts of the inner link without affecting the guiding work of the two sets of guide plates 11 on the movement path of the inner link.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pusher 17 is an inverted U-shaped structure. The width of the U-shaped structure of the pusher 17 is the same as the distance between the two sets of guide plates 11. When the visual camera 4 does not detect any missing parts in the inner link, the U-shaped structure of the pusher 17, together with the two sets of guide plates 11, limits the horizontal movement of the inner link, ensuring that the inner link moves directionally from front to back within the two sets of guide plates 11 and the U-shaped structure of the pusher 17. When the visual camera 4 detects any missing parts in the inner link, the telescopic rod of the cylinder 12 drives the inner link with assembly defects inside the U-shaped structure of the pusher 17 to the upper side of the collection basket 3 for removal, ensuring the quality of chain processing.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are two sets of rotating rods 19, which are symmetrically distributed front and rear. A driven roller 10 is welded to the outer side of the front rotating rod 19, and an active roller 26 is welded to the outer side of the rear rotating rod 19. A conveyor belt 5 is nested on the outer side of the active roller 26 and the driven roller 10. The conveyor motor 21 operates through a belt drive mechanism formed by the synchronous belt 22, the driven drum 23, and the active sleeve 27, which causes the rotating rod 19 connected to the driven drum 23 to drive the active roller 26 to rotate. The active roller 26, in conjunction with the driven roller 10, drives the conveyor belt 5 to move from front to back, so that the conveyor belt 5 drives the inner link to move automatically from the inner link assembly machine to the outer link assembly machine, avoiding the manual transfer operation of the inner link and saving labor costs.

[0028] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0029] In this invention, during the conveying and testing of inner links between the inner link assembly machine and the outer link assembly machine, the inner link assembled by the inner link assembly machine is pushed onto the conveyor belt 5 via the slide 7. The PLC controller 15 starts the conveyor motor 21 via wires. The conveyor motor 21 drives the drive sleeve 27 to rotate. The drive sleeve 27 drives the driven rotating drum 23, which is welded to the rotating rod 19, via the synchronous belt 22 nested on its outer side. The rotating rod 19 drives the drive roller 26, which is welded to its outer side, to rotate. The drive roller 26 drives the conveyor belt 5 onto the pallet 18. The conveyor belt 5 moves from front to back, causing the inner chain link to move directionally between the two sets of guide plates 11. When the inner chain link is conveyed by the conveyor belt 5 to the area below the first infrared counting sensor 20, the first infrared counting sensor 20 counts the passing inner chain link. When the inner chain link is conveyed by the conveyor belt 5 to the left of the vision camera 4, the light panel 13 illuminates the inner chain link, and the vision camera 4 captures and identifies the structural outline of the inner chain link. If there is a missing part in the inner chain link, the vision camera 4 transmits the identified information to the PLC controller 15 via a wire. The inner chain link moves to the inner side of the U-shaped structure of the pusher 17. The PLC controller 15 starts the air supply station 25 through the wire. The air supply station 25 supplies air to the cylinder 12 through the air pipe. The cylinder 12 then pushes the pusher 17 to the right. The pusher 17 moves the inner chain link to the upper side of the collection basket 3. The inner chain link falls into the collection basket 3 by gravity. Then the air supply station 25 controls the cylinder 12 to return to its original position. If there are no missing parts in the inner chain link, the conveyor belt 5 directly drives the inner chain link past the lower side of the second infrared counting sensor 8 for counting. The inner chain link is then transported by the conveyor belt 5 to the outer chain link. In the assembly machine, the counting data of the first infrared counting sensor 20 and the counting data of the second infrared counting sensor 8 are transmitted to the PLC controller 15 via wires for data comparison. When the counting data of the first infrared counting sensor 20 is greater than or equal to the counting data of the second infrared counting sensor 8, the PLC controller 15 controls the external internal link assembly machine to stop operating. When the counting data of the first infrared counting sensor 20 is less than the counting data of the second infrared counting sensor 8, the PLC controller 15 controls the external internal link assembly machine to start operating.

[0030] All the above components are installed, connected, or set up using common mechanical methods, such as welding, threaded connections, and screw connections. Furthermore, the specific structure, model, and coefficient indicators of all components are based on their own technologies; any method that achieves the desired effect can be implemented. The visual camera 4, second infrared counting sensor 8, light board 13, PLC controller 15, first infrared counting sensor 20, conveyor motor 21, and gas supply station 25 mentioned above are all common commercially available components. Upon purchase and use, simply connect them according to the instruction manual; therefore, further details are omitted here.
