[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example

[0022] An automatic tearing device for weld seams of metal cans includes a conveyor line 11, a circular rotating mechanism 3, an industrial camera 1, a pneumatic pliers 5, a gear and rack rotating mechanism 6, a rack cylinder 7, and a lifting device 12; the conveyor line 11 is equipped with a conveyor belt for transporting metal cans, and the transport direction of the conveyor belt is controlled by the forward and reverse rotation of the conveyor belt motor 4.

[0023] The circular rotation mechanism 3 is located at the end of the conveyor line 11 to fix the metal can and provide stable support during the tearing process. The rear end of the circular rotation mechanism 3 is connected to the circular rotation mechanism motor 2 and is driven by the circular rotation mechanism motor 2.

[0024] An industrial camera 1 is mounted above the circular rotation mechanism 3 to capture the weld position in real time, ensuring that the weld is in the correct tear position.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pneumatic pliers 5 are positioned at the front end of the rotating support mechanism 3 and fixed to the connecting block 13. They are used to clamp the weld strip and cut the sheet metal of the metal can. The pneumatic pliers 5 are controlled up and down by the lifting device 12 and their angular position by the gear and rack rotating mechanism 6. Specifically, a rack cylinder 7 and a gear and rack rotating mechanism 6 are provided above the top plate of the lifting device 12. The rack cylinder 7 provides power to the gear and rack rotating mechanism 6, driving the rack transmission. The rack meshes with the gear, causing the gear to rotate. This process converts the linear motion of the rack into the rotational motion of the gear through the extension and retraction of the rack cylinder 7. The gear output shaft of the gear and rack rotating mechanism 6 is connected to the connecting block 13. The gear and rack rotating mechanism 6 drives the pneumatic pliers 5 to rotate through the connecting block 13. The pneumatic vise 5 includes a cylinder, a groove, and scissor hands. The groove is used to guide and restrict the movement path of the mechanical parts to ensure the accuracy and stability of the action. In this embodiment, the groove can guide the movement of the scissor hands to ensure the accuracy of clamping and releasing actions, while limiting the range of motion of the scissor hands to prevent over-clamping or over-releasing. Therefore, the pneumatic vise 5 in this embodiment can be controlled by the cylinder to simultaneously control its clamping and extending / retracting (the pneumatic vise in this embodiment is a pneumatic scissor structure in the prior art, and its structure is not described in detail in the accompanying drawings).

[0026] In this embodiment, a tray 10 and a tray cylinder 9 are provided below the top plate of the lifting device 12 and on one side of the conveyor belt. The tray cylinder 9 pushes the tray 10 to extend and retract, which is used to collect the torn weld strips. In addition, a guide rod 8 with a cylinder is provided below the top plate of the lifting device 12 and on the other side of the conveyor belt, which is used to eject the processed metal cans from the conveyor line 11.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The conveyor belt on the conveyor line 11 is driven by the forward rotation of the conveyor belt motor 4 to gradually transport the metal can to the processing area of ​​the circular rotation mechanism 3. When the metal can enters the processing area, the conveyor belt stops, and the circular rotation mechanism 3 opens and fixes the position of the metal can. The position of the weld is captured in real time by the industrial camera 1, and the circular rotation mechanism 3 is driven by the circular rotation mechanism motor 2 to rotate so that the weld is directly above. At this time, the lifting device 12 descends, so that the weld is at the same level as the pneumatic vise 5. The pneumatic vise 5 extends its clamping arm through the cylinder, clamps the weld strip, and cuts the metal sheet of the metal can. The gear and rack rotation mechanism 6 drives the pneumatic vise 5 to rotate through the extension and retraction of the rack cylinder 7. At the same time, the lifting device 12 rises, so that the pneumatic vise 5 and the metal can form a certain angle, such as 45°, to complete the tearing action. Finally, the tray 10 is pushed out by the cylinder 9. After the weld strip is torn off, the pneumatic pliers 5 retract and release the weld strip, causing it to fall into the tray 10. In addition, the conveyor belt motor 4 is reversed, and the conveyor belt on the conveyor line 11 is reversed to move the processed metal can back to the guide rod 8 with the cylinder. The guide rod 8 with the cylinder is activated to push the metal can out of the conveyor line 11, completing the whole process.

[0028] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
