Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4A pre-kneading machine with photo detection function includes a support 100, two linear modules 110, and a first fixed plate 140. A movable plate 120 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the linear module 110, and a kneading machine 130 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the movable plate 120. A cylinder 150 is fixedly installed on the front side of the first fixed plate 140, and a pneumatic clamp 160 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 150. Two sets of camera devices 200 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the support 100. A belt conveyor is placed on the lower side of the middle of the support 100, and a lithium battery is transported through the belt conveyor. Then, the cylinder 150 is activated, which drives the pneumatic clamp 160 to move downwards towards the lithium battery. The pneumatic clamp 160 then clamps the lithium battery and moves it upwards to the opposite side of the two kneading machines 130. The linear module 110 is then activated to drive the flattening machine 130 closer to the lithium battery. Subsequently, the flattening machine 130 is activated to pre-flatten the lithium battery. By setting up the linear module 110, the moving plate 120, the first fixed plate 140, the pneumatic clamp 160, the cylinder 150, the pneumatic clamp 160, and the flattening machine 130, the lithium battery is pre-flattened. The pneumatic clamp 160 clamps the battery, and then the camera device 200 captures the shape before flattening. The image is then compared to the image to detect the required flattening progress. The required advancement of the flattening machine 130 is then determined to ensure the production quality of the lithium battery. The camera device 200 judges the length parameters of the product to assist the flattening machine 130 in flattening. The flattening machine 130 adaptively adjusts the parameters of the flattening machine to give the most ideal flattening state.
[0022] The camera device 200 includes a camera body 210. A rotating tube 220 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the camera body 210. A second motor 230 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the rotating tube 220. A second rotating rod 240 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the second motor 230. A third rotating rod 250 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the rotating tube 220. A first bevel gear 260 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the third rotating rod 250. A cleaning brush 270 is fixedly connected to the left side of the third rotating rod 250. A second bevel gear 280 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the second rotating rod 240. The first bevel gear 260 meshes with the second bevel gear 280. When the second motor 230 is started, it drives the second rotating rod 240 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating rod 240 drives the second bevel gear 280 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 260 to rotate. The first bevel gear 260 then drives the third rotating rod 250 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning brush 270 to rotate. The cleaning brush 270 cleans the lens on the underside of the camera body 210, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of subsequent camera body 210 inspections. By coordinating the rotating tube 220, the second motor 230, the second rotating rod 240, the third rotating rod 250, the cleaning brush 270, the first bevel gear 260, and the second bevel gear 280, the cleaning process on the underside of the camera body 210 can be effectively performed. To improve the efficiency and stability of subsequent camera body 210 inspection, the rotating motion of the cleaning brush 270 effectively removes dust and stains from the lens surface, ensuring the camera's image quality. Furthermore, the cleaning brush 270 is designed to meet the needs of different environments; its materials and structure can adapt to various weather conditions, maintaining good working condition in both dry desert environments and humid rainforest climates. To further enhance the cleaning effect, the cleaning brush 270 can be equipped with replaceable brush heads. Users can choose different types of brush heads according to actual usage. For example, in dusty environments, stiffer bristles can be used to improve cleaning efficiency, while gentler brush heads can be used in areas requiring gentler cleaning. If the lens is not properly aligned, a soft brush head can be selected to avoid damage. Furthermore, the rotation speed of the cleaning brush 270 can be adjusted via the control system to adapt to different cleaning needs. The entire cleaning system is designed with automation and intelligence in mind. The system can also be integrated with the camera's image processing software to analyze the image quality captured by the camera to determine whether cleaning is necessary. Through precise control of the second motor 230, the cleaning brush 270 can rotate with appropriate force and speed to ensure lens cleanliness. This system not only improves the camera's detection efficiency and stability but also reduces the frequency of manual maintenance through intelligent design, providing a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the camera.
[0023] An actuating tube 211 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the camera body 210. A first motor 212 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the actuating tube 211. A first rotating rod 213 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the first motor 212. A first gear 214 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first rotating rod 213. A second gear 221 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating tube 220. The first gear 214 and the second gear 221 mesh. The first motor 212 drives the first rotating rod 213 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 214 to rotate, and the first gear 214 in turn drives the second gear 221 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 221 drives the rotating tube 220 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning brush 270 to rotate. By configuring the actuating tube 211, the first motor 212, the first rotating rod 213, the first gear 214, and the second gear 221, the cleaning brush 270 can be rotated, thereby cleaning the camera lens, increasing the cleaning area of the cleaning brush 270, and improving the efficiency of the device. Two sets of second mounting plates 201 are fixedly connected to the side of the camera device 200 near the bracket 100. The bodies of the two sets of second mounting plates 201 have mounting holes. An L-shaped plate 202 is connected to the right side of the mounting plate 201. A slider 203 is fixedly connected to the side of the camera device 200 near the L-shaped plate 202. The L-shaped plate 202 has a groove that matches the slider 203. A first screw 204 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the L-shaped plate 202. The front side of the first screw 204 is screwed to the slider 203. The rotation of the first screw 204 drives the slider 203 to move back and forth, and then the slider 203 drives the camera body 210 to move back and forth. By setting the second mounting plate 201, L-shaped plate 202, slider 203, and first screw 204 in cooperation, The camera body 210 is moved back and forth to adjust its position as needed, thus improving the ease of use of the device. A second fixing plate 205 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the camera device 200, and a second screw 206 is inserted and connected to the right side of the second fixing plate 205. The lower side of the second screw 206 is screwed to the L-shaped plate 202. By setting the second screw 206, the height of the second mounting plate 201, the L-shaped plate 202, and the slider 203 can be adjusted, thereby completing the height adjustment of the device and improving the stability and convenience of use of the device.
