Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AI material sorting technology, specifically to an AI intelligent material sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] AI material sorting is an automated sorting solution based on artificial intelligence technology. By combining computer vision, deep learning algorithms and mechanical control systems, it can efficiently and accurately identify and sort different types of materials. Its core advantage lies in its ability to quickly identify the appearance characteristics of materials (such as color, shape, size, texture, etc.) and automatically determine whether there are defects or flaws, thereby realizing the automated classification and processing of good and defective products.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN204974504U) discloses a sorting device for spherical materials. A grooved conveyor belt is located at the front of the entire device, and its end connects to a conveyor belt composed of clamp-shaped shelves. Each clamp-shaped shelf has a rotating shaft underneath it. Several electromagnets are installed behind the conveyor belt composed of clamp-shaped shelves, and a sorting platform is located in front of the conveyor belt. This device achieves automated sorting of spherical materials and parts, significantly reducing labor costs for such processes.

[0004] The aforementioned document enables the automatic sorting of spherical crops and parts, greatly reducing the labor costs for such processes. However, when conveying spherical materials, the document cannot effectively remove defective materials, resulting in defective products being mixed with good products, which increases the workload and complexity of subsequent sorting. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an AI intelligent material sorting device, which has the advantages of orderly arrangement and removal of defective products, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an AI intelligent material sorting device, comprising a frame, wherein the inner wall of the frame is provided with a sorting and cleaning component and a detection component;

[0007] The sorting and cleaning assembly includes a swing cylinder, which is rotatably connected to the frame via a sealed bearing. The outer surface of the swing cylinder has multiple receiving slots, and the inner wall of the frame is equipped with a drain pipe. The outer surface of the drain pipe is fixedly connected to multiple nozzles.

[0008] The detection component includes multiple sets of contact rods, with each pair of contact rods located in a nearby receiving groove. The multiple contact rods are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the swing cylinder. Multiple electric push rods are installed on the inner wall of the frame, and the output ends of the multiple electric push rods are fixedly connected to push components. AI detection modules are installed on the outer surfaces of the multiple push components.

[0009] The above solution, by installing contact rods, allows spherical materials to roll within the receiving tank, ensuring that the AI ​​detection module can perform all-around detection of the material surface, significantly improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of defect identification.

[0010] Furthermore, a bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frame, a water tank is installed at the bottom end of the frame, the water tank is connected to the frame, a filter screen is installed on the inner wall of the frame, and the swing cylinder is in contact with the filter screen.

[0011] The above solution facilitates the recycling of used water by connecting the frame to the water tank. The recycled water can be filtered through the filter screen to prevent impurities from entering the water tank. Furthermore, the oscillating cylinder cleans the filter screen during the oscillation process, preventing it from becoming clogged.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the receiving slots has a set of elastic bearing members fixedly connected to its inner wall, and each set of elastic bearing members is symmetrical.

[0013] The above scheme provides support for the spherical material entering the receiving tank, allowing the material to remain in the tank. When there are defective products, the pusher can push the spherical material, and under pressure, the two elastic support members can swing, allowing the defective product to enter the swing cylinder, which facilitates the sorting of defective and good products.

[0014] Furthermore, a set of lighting modules is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame.

[0015] The above solution enables the lighting module to illuminate the frame, facilitating the AI ​​detection module's detection of spherical materials within the containment tank and thus improving the accuracy of spherical material detection.

[0016] Furthermore, a feeding frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame, and a discharge groove is provided on the outer surface of the frame, which is located below the feeding frame.

[0017] The above scheme allows for the pre-placement of spherical materials by setting up a feeding frame, and the material can enter the receiving slot on the swing cylinder in an orderly manner by swinging the cylinder, thereby achieving the purpose of orderly arrangement of spherical materials.

[0018] Furthermore, an arc-shaped collecting frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame. The arc-shaped collecting frame is located inside the swing cylinder and is set in an inclined shape.

[0019] The above solution allows for the collection of defective products by installing an arc-shaped collection frame. Because the arc-shaped collection frame is tilted, spherical materials will roll and be discharged inside the frame, making it easier for staff to collect defective products uniformly.

[0020] Furthermore, a gear is fixedly connected to the front end of each of the contact rods, a protective plate is installed on the front of the frame, a gear ring is installed on the back of the protective plate, and each gear is meshed with the gear ring.

[0021] The above solution allows the gear ring and gear to rotate during the swinging of the oscillating cylinder. When the spherical material in the receiving tank comes into contact with the contact rod, the spherical material will roll in the receiving tank, thus enabling the AI ​​detection module to detect more comprehensively.

[0022] Furthermore, a servo motor is installed on the front of the protective plate, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the swing cylinder through a connecting shaft. A water pump is installed on the inner wall of the water tank, and the output end of the water pump is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe. The other end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a drain pipe.

[0023] Through the above scheme, the water pump can draw water from the water tank and transport it through the connecting pipe to the drain pipe, from which it is sprayed out from the nozzle to clean spherical materials. The used water can flow back into the water tank, thus achieving the purpose of recycling the used water.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] This AI-powered intelligent material sorting device, through the cooperation of a swing cylinder and a receiving trough, achieves the orderly arrangement and efficient transportation of spherical materials during the conveying process. The swinging motion of the swing cylinder not only ensures the neat arrangement of materials but also improves the conveying efficiency. At the same time, the drain pipe and nozzles can efficiently clean the spherical materials in the receiving trough during the conveying process. The synergistic effect of the water jets sprayed from the nozzles and the contact rods causes the materials to roll in the receiving trough, ensuring that the water jets can fully cover the surface of the materials, thereby achieving thorough cleaning of the spherical materials. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also reduces manual intervention and the complexity of subsequent sorting. In addition, by recycling the water source, water waste is reduced, achieving both environmental and economic benefits.

[0026] By installing contact rods, spherical materials roll within the receiving tank, ensuring that the AI ​​detection module can perform all-around inspection of the material surface. This significantly improves the accuracy and comprehensiveness of defect identification. When the AI ​​detection module identifies a defective product, the pusher quickly pushes it into the swing drum for centralized processing, effectively preventing the mixing of defective and good products. This not only improves sorting efficiency but also reduces the workload of subsequent manual sorting, lowering production costs. At the same time, the automated detection and sorting process greatly enhances the intelligence level of the production line, ensuring the consistency of product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The AI ​​intelligent material sorting device in this embodiment includes a frame 1, and the inner wall of the frame 1 is provided with a sorting and cleaning component 2 and a detection component 3.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sorting and cleaning component 2 includes a swing cylinder 201, which is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via a sealed bearing. Multiple receiving slots 202 are formed on the outer surface of the swing cylinder 201. A drain pipe 203 is installed on the inner wall of the frame 1, and multiple nozzles 204 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drain pipe 203. The cooperation between the swing cylinder 201 and the receiving slots 202 enables the orderly arrangement and efficient transport of spherical materials during the conveying process. The swinging motion of the swing cylinder 201 not only ensures the neat arrangement of materials but also improves conveying efficiency. Simultaneously, the drain pipe 203 and nozzles 204 can efficiently clean the spherical materials in the receiving slots 202 during conveying. The water jets sprayed from the nozzles 204, in conjunction with the contact rod 301, cause the materials to roll within the receiving slots 202, ensuring that the water jets fully cover the material surface, thereby achieving thorough cleaning of the spherical materials. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also reduces manual intervention and the complexity of subsequent sorting. Furthermore, the recycling of water resources reduces water waste, achieving both environmental and economic benefits.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The detection component 3 includes multiple sets of contact rods 301. Each pair of contact rods 301 is located in a nearby receiving groove 202. The multiple contact rods 301 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the swing cylinder 201. Multiple electric push rods 302 are installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. The output ends of the multiple electric push rods 302 are fixedly connected to pushers 303. AI detection modules 304 are installed on the outer surfaces of the multiple pushers 303. By installing the contact rods 301, the spherical material rolls in the receiving groove 202, ensuring that the AI ​​detection module 304 can perform all-round detection on the surface of the material, which significantly improves the accuracy and comprehensiveness of defect identification. When the AI ​​detection module 304 identifies a defective product, the pusher 303 will quickly push the defective product into the swing cylinder 201 for centralized processing, effectively avoiding the mixing of defective and good products. This not only improves sorting efficiency but also reduces the workload of subsequent manual sorting and lowers production costs. At the same time, the automated detection and sorting process greatly improves the intelligence level of the production line and ensures the consistency of product quality.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 A bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1, and a water tank 5 is installed at the bottom of the frame 1. The water tank 5 is connected to the frame 1. A filter screen 6 is installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. The swing cylinder 201 is in contact with the filter screen 6. By connecting the frame 1 to the water tank 5, it is convenient to recycle the used water source. With the cooperation of the filter screen 6, the recycled water source can be filtered to prevent impurities from entering the water tank 5. Since the swing cylinder 201 is in contact with the filter screen 6, the filter screen 6 can be cleaned during the swing process to prevent the filter screen 6 from clogging. A set of elastic bearing members 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each receiving tank 202. Each set of elastic bearing members 7 is symmetrical. The elastic bearing members 7 can support the spherical material entering the receiving tank 202, so that the material can be retained in the receiving tank 202. When there are defective products, the pusher 303 can push the spherical material and the two elastic bearing members 7 can swing under the action of pressure, so that the defective products can enter the interior of the swing cylinder 201, which is convenient for sorting defective products and good products.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A set of lighting modules 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. The lighting modules 8 can illuminate the inside of the frame 1, which facilitates the AI ​​detection module 304 to detect the spherical materials in the receiving groove 202, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection of spherical materials. The outer surface of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to the feeding frame 9, and the outer surface of the frame 1 is provided with a discharge groove 10. The discharge groove 10 is located below the feeding frame 9. The feeding frame 9 can facilitate the pre-placement of spherical materials, and through the swing of the swing cylinder 201, the materials can enter the receiving groove 202 on the swing cylinder 201 in an orderly manner, thereby achieving the purpose of orderly arrangement of spherical materials.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 An arc-shaped collection frame 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. The arc-shaped collection frame 11 is located inside the swing cylinder 201 and is inclined. The installation of the arc-shaped collection frame 11 can collect defective products. Because the arc-shaped collection frame 11 is inclined, spherical materials will roll and be discharged in the arc-shaped collection frame 11, which makes it convenient for staff to collect defective products uniformly. A gear 12 is fixedly connected to the front end of each contact rod 301. A guard plate 13 is installed on the front of the frame 1, and a toothed ring 14 is installed on the back of the guard plate 13. Each gear 12 is meshed with the toothed ring 14. The cooperation between the toothed ring 14 and the gear 12 can enable multiple contact rods 301 to rotate during the swing of the swing cylinder 201. When the spherical material in the receiving groove 202 comes into contact with the contact rod 301, the spherical material will roll in the receiving groove 202, so that the AI ​​detection module 304 can detect more comprehensively.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A servo motor 15 is installed on the front of the guard plate 13. The output end of the servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the swing cylinder 201 through a connecting shaft. A water pump 16 is installed on the inner wall of the water tank 5. The output end of the water pump 16 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 17. The other end of the connecting pipe 17 is fixedly connected to a drain pipe 203. The water pump 16 can draw water from the water tank 5 and transport it to the drain pipe 203 through the connecting pipe 17, from which it is sprayed out from the nozzle 204 to clean the spherical material. The used water can be returned to the water tank 5, thereby achieving the purpose of recycling the used water.

[0046] This embodiment of an AI intelligent material sorting device, through the cooperation of a swing cylinder 201 and a receiving trough 202, achieves the orderly arrangement and efficient transportation of spherical materials during the conveying process. The swinging motion of the swing cylinder 201 not only ensures the neat arrangement of materials but also improves the conveying efficiency. At the same time, the drain pipe 203 and the nozzle 204 can efficiently clean the spherical materials in the receiving trough 202 during the conveying process. The water jet sprayed from the nozzle 204 and the synergistic effect of the contact rod 301 make the materials roll in the receiving trough 202, ensuring that the water jet can fully cover the surface of the materials, thereby achieving thorough cleaning of the spherical materials. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also reduces manual intervention and reduces the complexity of subsequent sorting. In addition, by recycling the water source, water waste is reduced, achieving both environmental and economic benefits.

[0047] By installing the contact rod 301, the spherical material rolls within the receiving groove 202, ensuring that the AI ​​detection module 304 can perform all-round detection of the material surface. This significantly improves the accuracy and comprehensiveness of defect identification. When the AI ​​detection module 304 detects a defective product, the pusher 303 quickly pushes the defective product into the swing cylinder 201 for centralized processing. This effectively avoids the mixing of defective and good products, not only improving sorting efficiency but also reducing the workload of subsequent manual sorting and lowering production costs. At the same time, the automated detection and sorting process greatly improves the intelligence level of the production line, ensuring the consistency of product quality.

[0048] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: First, the spherical material is placed into the feed frame 9. Then, the servo motor 15 is started, and the servo motor 15 drives the swing cylinder 201 to rotate within the frame 1. Since the feed frame 9 is inclined, the spherical material can roll into the receiving groove 202. When the material enters the receiving groove 202, the swing cylinder 201 can drive the gear 12 to mesh with the gear ring 14 during its swing, so that the contact rod 301 can rotate. When the spherical material contacts the contact rod 301, the contact rod 301 will drive the spherical material to move in the receiving groove. The spherical material rolls within the receiving tank 202. After passing the AI ​​detection module 304, the rolling motion of the spherical material allows for a more comprehensive detection by the AI ​​detection module 304, significantly improving the accuracy and completeness of defect identification. The lighting module 8 provides a light source for the spherical material detection, facilitating the AI ​​detection module 304's inspection of the material within the receiving tank 202 and improving the accuracy of the detection. Upon detection of a defective item, the electric push rod 302 pushes the pusher 303 downwards, allowing the pusher 303 to... When spherical materials come into contact, the elastic support 7 can swing under force, allowing the spherical materials to enter the swing cylinder 201 and then the arc-shaped collection frame 11 before being discharged from the swing cylinder 201. This facilitates uniform processing by staff, effectively preventing the mixing of defective and good products. This not only improves sorting efficiency but also reduces the workload of subsequent manual sorting, lowering production costs. Furthermore, the automated detection and sorting process significantly enhances the intelligence level of the production line, ensuring consistent product quality. After the spherical materials are inspected, the water pump 16 draws water from the water tank 5 and transports it through the connecting pipe 17 to the drain pipe 203, spraying it onto the surface of the spherical materials from the nozzle 204. Because the spherical materials are rolling within the receiving tank 202, the water column can fully cover the material surface, achieving thorough cleaning. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also reduces manual intervention. As the swing cylinder 201 swings, the used water is filtered through the filter screen 6 and then returned to the collection box, thus achieving the purpose of recycling used water.
