Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ampoule inspection technology, specifically to a visual inspection device for ampoule defects based on feeding spin. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of ampoules, defect detection is a key step in ensuring product quality. However, existing ampoule detection devices have many significant problems.

[0003] Traditional methods for feeding and conveying ampoules often fail to ensure stability and order during the process. Ampoules may shift or rotate unevenly, resulting in some areas not being effectively exposed to the inspection equipment. This can easily lead to the omission of defects such as cracks, bubbles, and scratches on the surface and body of the ampoule. Traditional feeding methods also lack an effective spin mechanism, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive inspection of all parts of the ampoule. Consequently, the inspection efficiency is low and the accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

[0004] For example, the ampoule visual inspection device and method with announcement number CN106404789A includes a conveyor that automatically transfers multiple ampoules to an impeller or recycles ampoules discharged from the impeller; a reflective light irradiator that illuminates a light source to acquire an area array camera of the ampoules, detecting the dimensional accuracy and presence of impurities. However, in use, the aforementioned ampoule visual inspection device suffers from unstable and disordered ampoule feeding, a lack of a spin mechanism, and a tendency to miss defects, resulting in low inspection efficiency and poor accuracy. Furthermore, it has other problems, including damage... In the past, sorting damaged ampoules mainly relied on manual operation. Manual sorting is not only inefficient and difficult to process a large number of ampoules in a short time, but also prone to misjudgment and omission due to human factors. Long-term manual operation can easily lead to staff fatigue, further reducing the accuracy and stability of sorting. Manual sorting requires a large investment of manpower and cannot remove all damaged ampoules in a timely and effective manner, which may allow defective products to enter the next production stage or even flow into the market, bringing potential quality risks.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a visual inspection device for ampoule defects based on feeding spin, comprising a support frame and a first motor fixedly installed at the upper end of the support frame; a rotating column is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor, and the rotating column is installed on the upper left side of the support frame, and a drive groove is opened on the rotating column, and an ampoule body is arranged inside the drive groove; a feeding spin mechanism is provided at the upper end of the support frame, and a first bevel gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor; an industrial camera is fixedly installed at the rear left end of the support frame, and the industrial camera corresponds to the ampoule body; a second motor is fixedly installed at the right side of the left end of the support frame, and the second motor is connected to the industrial camera; a sorting mechanism is provided at the right side of the left end of the support frame, and a rotating plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor.

[0007] Furthermore, the feeding spin mechanism includes a connecting frame fixedly installed on the upper end of the support frame, and an active rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the right end of the connecting frame. A second bevel gear is fixedly installed at the front end of the active rotating shaft, and the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear are connected to each other through a connecting rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a driven shaft is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the connecting frame, and the driven shaft and the driving shaft are connected to each other through a conveyor belt. A baffle is fixedly installed on the outer side of the conveyor belt, and the baffles are evenly distributed on the outer side of the conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, a feed inlet is fixedly installed on the upper left end of the connecting frame, and the lower end of the feed inlet corresponds to the driving groove. A limit plate is fixedly installed on the upper left end of the support frame, and the rear end of the limit plate is located on the inner side of the left end of the rotating column.

[0010] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism includes a connecting plate rotatably mounted on the other end of a rotating plate, and a driving plate rotatably mounted on the other end of the connecting plate. A fixing plate is fixedly mounted on the right side of the left end of the support frame, and a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the rear side of the upper end of the fixing plate. The lower end of the rotating shaft is mounted on the left end of the driving plate. An adjusting plate is mounted on the upper end of the rotating shaft, and an adsorption plate is rotatably mounted on the other end of the adjusting plate. A suction cup is mounted on the left end of the adsorption plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted at the rear upper end of the fixed plate, and an adjusting plate is mounted on the upper end of the rotating shaft at the lower end of the driving plate. An adsorption plate is rotatably mounted on the other end of the adjusting plate, and a suction cup is mounted on the left end of the adsorption plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a placement box is fixedly installed on the right side of the left end of the support frame, and the placement box corresponds to the adsorption plate. A connecting column is fixedly installed on the right end of the adsorption plate, and an adjusting column is provided on the connecting column. The left end of the adjusting column is rotatably installed on the right end of the fixed plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The first motor drives the rotating column to rotate, causing the ampoule body inside the rotating groove to rotate. The ampoule body is inspected by an industrial camera. The active rotating shaft drives the driven rotating shaft to rotate via a conveyor belt, causing the baffle on the conveyor belt to move. The ampoule body is fed into the rotating groove on the rotating column through the feed port. When the ampoule body has been inspected, it is taken out of the rotating groove through the limiting plate, ensuring that all parts of the ampoule are intact, which facilitates the comprehensive detection of various defects and improves the accuracy of the inspection.

[0015] Furthermore, it improves the stability and orderliness of feeding, ensuring efficient and accurate testing. Spin conveyor speeds up testing, improves overall testing efficiency, reduces testing errors caused by unstable ampoule positions, enhances the reliability of testing results, matches the testing speed, reduces waiting time, and improves overall production efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, to prevent ampoules from colliding and being damaged during transport, ensuring product integrity, the equipment can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the feeding needs of ampoules of different sizes and shapes, increasing the versatility of the equipment, ensuring that ampoules enter the inspection stage in a predetermined order and position, ensuring that the inspection equipment can capture all angles of the bottle, achieving blind-spot-free inspection, and increasing the probability of defect detection.

[0017] 2. When the industrial camera detects a damaged ampoule, the second motor drives the rotating plate to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting plate to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the adjusting plate to rotate, and the adjusting plate moves the adsorption plate to the left. This causes the suction cup at the left end of the adsorption plate to adsorb the damaged ampoule. The adjusting plate then drives the adsorption plate to rotate forward, causing the connecting column at the left end of the adsorption plate to rotate, thus pouring the damaged ampoule into the placement box. This process quickly separates qualified and unqualified products, increasing the speed of the production process and reducing time spent in the sorting stage.

[0018] Furthermore, it can accurately identify and differentiate ampoules with different defect types, enabling targeted processing, improving resource utilization efficiency, avoiding additional damage to ampoules during sorting, accurately identifying and removing damaged ampoules, preventing defective products from entering subsequent stages, preventing potential risks from damaged ampoules, and avoiding additional damage to ampoules that may be caused by manual sorting.
