Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic sorting device technology, specifically a fully automatic X-ray detection automatic sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] X-ray inspection is a non-destructive testing technique that uses X-rays to penetrate objects and obtain information about their internal structure. Its basic principle is that when X-rays penetrate the object being tested, different materials or internal defects (such as pores, cracks, inclusions, etc.) absorb X-rays to varying degrees, thus forming images of different contrasts on the detector, which are then used to determine the object's internal quality.

[0003] Application number CN202122985819.6 discloses an automated X-ray inspection device with sorting function, including a workbench and other structures. The device involves placing the workpiece to be inspected on a conveyor belt, which is driven by a motor output shaft. The conveyor belt moves the workpiece to an inspection chamber, where an X-ray inspection unit inside the chamber inspects the workpiece. Qualified products are conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt and exit through a finished product discharge plate. Unqualified products are conveyed to a sorting component, where a robotic arm grips them. The robotic arm is then moved to a waste outlet via a sliding platform on an electric slide, allowing the waste to exit. The device automatically sorts the workpieces using a sorting component in conjunction with the inspection chamber, avoiding the influence of X-rays on manual sorting. However, this application has limitations: while it can distinguish between qualified and unqualified products, its sorting structure is relatively complex. In particular, the robotic arm needs to dynamically grasp unqualified products during transport, which places high demands on the accurate calculation of product position and the success rate of grasping, requiring corresponding algorithm support, thus increasing equipment costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A fully automatic X-ray inspection and sorting device includes a feeding mechanism, a separating mechanism, and a sorting mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes two guide plates, a partition plate installed between the two guide plates, and two belt conveyors respectively located on both sides of the partition plate. The belt conveyors are slidably connected between the two guide plates.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, two belt conveyors work together to transport the product to be inspected. Then, the X-ray inspection device inspects the product. If the product is qualified, it passes smoothly through the two belt conveyors. Otherwise, the unqualified inspection signal is transmitted to the controller. The controller starts the motor to rotate the threaded rod, and then the two drive blocks move backward. Then, the distance between the belt conveyor and the partition increases, and the unqualified product can fall from either side of the partition. The structure is simple and the equipment cost is reduced.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a guide assembly is provided on the outer side of another guide plate, the guide assembly including a guide rod fixedly connected to the other guide plate and two sliders slidably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod, the two sliders being fixedly connected to two belt conveyors respectively.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a controller is mounted on a metal plate connected to a guide plate, and the X-ray detection device and the motor are electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a plurality of reinforcing ribs are connected between the guide plate and the metal plate, the plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged in a matrix, and the reinforcing ribs are set as triangles.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this invention, two belt conveyors work together to transport the product to be inspected. Then, an X-ray inspection device inspects the product. If the product is qualified, it passes smoothly through the two belt conveyors. Otherwise, the unqualified inspection signal is transmitted to the controller. The controller starts the motor to rotate the threaded rod, and then the two drive blocks move backwards. The distance between the belt conveyor and the partition increases, and the unqualified product can fall off from either side of the partition. The structure is simple and reduces equipment costs.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

[0027] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0028] The fully automatic X-ray detection and sorting device provided by some embodiments of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, the fully automatic X-ray detection and sorting device provided by this utility model includes a feeding mechanism 100, a separating mechanism 200 and a sorting mechanism 300. The feeding mechanism 100 includes two guide plates 110, a partition plate 120 installed between the two guide plates 110, and two belt conveyors 130 respectively provided on both sides of the partition plate 120. The belt conveyors 130 are slidably connected between the two guide plates 110.

[0031] The differentiating mechanism 200 includes a metal plate 210 installed on the outside of the guide plate 110 and an X-ray detection device 220 connected between the two metal plates 210.

[0032] The sorting mechanism 300 includes a threaded rod 310 movably mounted on the outside of a guide plate 110, a motor 320 connected between the guide plate 110 and the threaded rod 310, and two drive blocks 330 connected to the threaded rod 310. The two drive blocks 330 are respectively fixedly connected to two belt conveyors 130. The thread on the threaded rod 310 is configured as two segments with opposite rotation directions.

[0033] Furthermore, the partition 120 is configured as an isosceles trapezoid and has a gap between it and the belt conveyor 130. When the belt conveyor 130 separates from the partition 120, the shape design of the partition 120 ensures that it will not stably support the products passing above it, and ensures that unqualified products can fall smoothly to the bottom of the device.

[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 600 are connected between the guide plate 110 and the metal plate 210. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 600 are arranged in a matrix and the reinforcing ribs 600 are set as triangles. The reinforcing ribs 600 increase the contact area between the metal plate 210 and the guide plate 110 and improve the connection firmness of the metal plate 210.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, another guide plate 110 is provided with a guide assembly 400 on its outer side. The guide assembly 400 includes a guide rod 410 fixedly connected to the other guide plate 110 and two sliders 420 slidably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod 410. The two sliders 420 are respectively fixedly connected to two belt conveyors 130. The guide assembly 400 can ensure that the two belt conveyors 130 move smoothly.

[0037] Furthermore, the diameter and length of the guide rod 410 are equal to those of the threaded rod 310. The outer surface of the guide rod 410 is polished. The structural design of the guide rod 410 provides sufficient length for the belt conveyor 130 to translate, and reduces the wear between the guide rod 410 and the slider 420, thus ensuring the service life of the guide rod 410 and the slider 420.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in the above embodiment, a controller 500 is installed on a metal plate 210 connected to a guide plate 110. The X-ray detection device 220 and the motor 320 are both electrically connected to the controller 500. With this structural design, unmanned detection can be achieved, reducing sorting costs.

[0040] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When this device is put into actual use, two belt conveyors 130 cooperate to transport the product to be inspected. Then, the X-ray inspection device 220 inspects the product. If the product is qualified, it passes smoothly through the two belt conveyors 130. Otherwise, the unqualified inspection signal will be transmitted to the controller 500. The controller 500 starts the motor 320 to rotate the threaded rod 310. Then, the two drive blocks 330 move backwards. Then, the distance between the belt conveyor 130 and the partition 120 increases. Unqualified products can fall from either side of the partition 120. The structure is simple and the equipment cost is reduced.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
