Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to industrial camera technical field, concretely is a sorting equipment for industrial camera. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the industrial production and manufacturing field, industrial cameras as key visual detection and imaging equipment are widely used in various production processes. Different models of industrial cameras have significant differences in size, function and performance, so it is particularly important to accurately sort and manage industrial cameras during production, storage and transportation.

[0003] The existing sorting equipment for industrial cameras still has the following problems: the traditional industrial camera sorting method mainly relies on manual operation. The operator needs to identify the model and characteristics of the camera by naked eye, and then manually places it in the corresponding position. This method has some drawbacks. On the one hand, manual sorting is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. As the scale of industrial production continues to expand, manual sorting speed is far behind the production rhythm, resulting in the overall efficiency of the production process being constrained. On the other hand, manual operation is easily affected by subjective factors and fatigue, and the sorting error rate is relatively high, which may cause different models of cameras to be confused, affecting subsequent production and use, and thus increasing production costs and product defect rates.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sorting equipment for industrial cameras to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] Based on the above, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a sorting equipment for industrial cameras to solve the problem of manual sorting of industrial cameras.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a sorting equipment for industrial cameras, comprising:

The interior of the stock bin is defined as a storage space, which is used to load various models of industrial cameras. The opening is provided at the top of the housing. The storage space is in communication with the outside through the opening at the top. The viewing window is provided at the bottom of the housing. The downward camera is provided at the bottom of the viewing window, and the downward camera captures images of the industrial camera in the direction of the viewing window.

[0009] The alignment sorting mechanism is arranged at an upstream position of the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, and an execution unit of the alignment sorting mechanism reciprocates between the storage space of the bin and a conveying end of the conveying mechanism. The alignment sorting mechanism is used to perform pick-and-place, alignment, and sorting operations on the industrial camera.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the sorting device for the industrial camera, the execution unit of the alignment sorting mechanism includes a driving unit and a suction unit. The driving unit is arranged at an upstream position of the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, and the suction unit is arranged at a driving end of the driving unit. The suction unit is used to stably adsorb and lift the industrial camera.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the sorting device for the industrial camera, a detection mechanism is further included, which is adjacent to the alignment sorting mechanism and arranged at a downstream position of the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. The detection mechanism is used to verify the accuracy of the industrial camera after alignment by the alignment sorting mechanism.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the sorting device for the industrial camera, the detection mechanism includes an overhead camera and a driving mechanism. The overhead camera is arranged at the top of the conveying mechanism and captures images of the industrial camera in the direction of the conveying end of the conveying mechanism. The driving mechanism is arranged at the adjacent side of the conveying mechanism. The overhead camera and the driving mechanism are sequentially arranged at a downstream position of the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the sorting device for the industrial camera, the driving unit includes a base, a connecting plate, a first connecting block, a second connecting block, and a third connecting block that are sequentially rotatably connected. The base is arranged at the adjacent side of the conveying mechanism, and the suction unit is rotatably arranged at the third connecting block.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the sorting device for the industrial camera, a rotary driving assembly is further included, which is sequentially connected between the base, the connecting plate, the first connecting block, the second connecting block, and the third connecting block. The rotary driving assembly is used to provide rotary driving force to realize the relative rotation of each connecting block and the connecting plate based on the base.

[0015] As a preferred solution of the sorting device for the industrial camera, the rotary driving assembly includes a driving source and a rotary shaft. The driving source is provided with a plurality of driving sources, which are respectively connected between the base, the connecting plate, the first connecting block, the second connecting block, and the third connecting block.

[0017] As a preferred scheme of the sorting equipment for the industrial camera, the transmission mechanism is composed of a transmission belt for transmitting various types of industrial cameras along a predetermined path.

[0018] As a preferred scheme of the sorting equipment for the industrial camera, the surface of the transmission belt is provided with a damping pad for absorbing the vibration generated in the transmission process and reducing the shaking of the industrial camera in the transmission process.

[0019] The industrial camera sorting equipment has the advantages that: the transmission mechanism can stably and quickly convey various types of industrial cameras, ensuring the continuous smoothness and stability of the sorting process. The loading opening formed in the top of the stock bin facilitates the quick placement of the industrial camera, and the combination of the window integrated at the bottom and the downward camera constitutes an image capturing system.
