It will also be understood that the terms “comprising” and / or “having” as used in this specification specify the presence of the described features, numbers, steps, operations, components, elements or combinations thereof, without excluding the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, elements or groups thereof.

[0036] This is an illustrative example of a welding equipment for brake pipe fittings; for reference only. Figures 1 to 11 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a device for picking out solder from brake pipe joints is used to detect and screen solder such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The brake pipe connector shown includes a sleeve 90, a first pipe body 91, an annular body 92, and a second pipe body 93. The annular body 92 has two insertion holes 921 on each side. The first pipe body 91 is welded to the annular body 92. One end of the first pipe body 91 extends into one of the insertion holes 921 of the annular body 92 and extends to the inner wall of the hole in the annular body 92. The other end of the first pipe body 91 is welded to the sleeve 90. The second pipe body 93 is welded to the annular body 92, and one end of the second pipe body 93 extends into the other insertion hole 921 of the annular body 92 and extends to the inner wall of the hole in the annular body 92.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the equipment for picking up welding materials for brake pipe joints includes a base 10, a feeding device 20, a transfer module 30, a camera detection module 40, and a unloading module 50.

[0038] It should be noted that the loading device 20 delivers the brake pipe connector to the transfer module 30, the transfer module 30 delivers the brake pipe connector to the camera detection module 40, and the solder on each part of the brake pipe connector is inspected. The unloading module 50 then classifies the inspected brake pipe connectors.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the feeding device 20 includes a vibratory plate 201 and a feeding channel 202. The feeding channel 202 has a chute 2021. The bottom wall of the chute 2021 has a strip groove 2022. The brake pipe joint is arranged vertically and one end passes through the strip groove 2022.

[0040] It should be noted that the vibratory feeder 201 is located on the back side of the machine base 10, the feeding channel 202 is arranged longitudinally on the machine base 10 and located at one end of the machine base 10, and the feeding channel 202 extends to the outlet of the vibratory feeder 201. The brake pipe connector is fed from the vibratory feeder 201 into the slide groove 2021, and gradually approaches the transfer module 30 along the slide groove 2021. More specifically, after the end of the brake pipe connector with the sleeve 90 extends into the slide groove 2021 a predetermined distance, the brake pipe connector automatically rotates 90° under the action of gravity because the other end of the brake pipe connector loses support. During this rotation, the first tube 91 passes through the strip groove 2022, and the ring 92 and the second tube 93 are located below the strip groove 2022. It should be pointed out that... The radial dimension of the first tube 91 is smaller than the width of the strip groove 2022, and the radial dimension of the sleeve 90 is equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the slide groove 2021. The radial dimension of the sleeve 90 is larger than the width of the strip groove 2022. This is why the brake pipe connector does not completely disengage from the slide groove 2021 in the vertical direction after being rotated 90°. Subsequently, the feeding channel 202 has an air-blowing pipe that pushes the brake pipe connector towards the transfer module 30. External airflow blows the brake pipe connector to move it towards the transfer module 30. Alternatively, the feeding channel 202 can be arranged at an angle, with the end of the feeding channel 202 closer to the transfer module 30 having a lower height, which also allows the brake pipe connector to move towards the transfer module 30. In addition, since the overall length of the brake pipe connector is relatively long, the brake pipe connector moves on the slide groove 2021 in a vertical arrangement, that is, more brake pipe connectors arranged vertically can be placed on the slide groove 2021 of the same length.

[0041] In addition, the transfer module 30 includes a flipping device 301 and a translation device 302. It should be noted that since the brake pipe connector is arranged vertically, and the camera detection module 40 needs to detect the horizontally arranged brake pipe connector, the brake pipe connector is flipped 90° by the flipping device 301 and then placed on the camera detection module 40 by the translation device 302 for detection.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the flipping device 301 includes a first transverse drive device 3011, a first longitudinal drive device 3012, a first rotary drive device 3013, and a first gripper 3014. The first gripper 3014 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the first rotary drive device 3013, the first rotary drive device 3013 is mounted on the push rod of the first longitudinal drive device 3012, and the first longitudinal drive device 3012 is mounted on the push rod of the first transverse drive device 3011.

[0043] It should be noted that the first gripper 3014 is located at the end of the feeding channel 202 opposite to the vibratory plate 201. The first gripper 3014 selectively grips the first tube body 91 of the brake pipe connector. The first transverse drive device 3011 is provided to allow the first gripper 3014 to move in the left-right direction of the machine base 10. The first longitudinal drive device 3012 is provided to allow the first gripper 3014 to move in the front-back direction of the machine base 10. The first rotary drive device 3013 drives the first gripper 3014 to rotate circumferentially.

[0044] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 Assuming the brake pipe connector has moved to the end of the slide 2021, and the first gripper 3014 is vertically arranged as shown in the figure, the first rotary drive device 3013 is first moved to rotate the first gripper 3014 by 90°. Then, the push rod of the first longitudinal drive device 3012 moves along the rear side of the machine base 10, causing the first gripper 3014 to approach the brake pipe connector. After the first gripper 3014 clamps the brake pipe connector, the push rod of the first longitudinal drive device 3012 moves in the opposite direction. Subsequently, the first transverse drive device 3011 moves the first gripper 3014 to one side of the feeding channel 202 and within the stroke range of the translation device 302. Then, the first rotary drive device 3013 is rotated 90° in the opposite direction, so that the brake pipe connector is horizontally arranged, making it easier for the translation device 302 to grab the brake pipe connector and move it to the camera detection module 40.

[0045] Specifically, the translation device 302 includes a first vertical seat 3021, a second horizontal drive device 3022, a first lifting drive device 3023, and a second gripper 3024. The first vertical seat 3021 is fixedly mounted on the base 10, the second horizontal drive device 3022 is mounted on the first vertical seat 3021, the first lifting drive device 3023 is fixedly mounted on the slider of the second horizontal drive device 3022, and the second gripper 3024 is mounted on the push rod of the first lifting drive device 3023.

[0046] It should be noted that when the brake pipe connector is arranged horizontally, the slider of the second lateral drive device 3022 moves to the left, causing the second gripper 3024 to be positioned directly above the brake pipe connector. The push rod of the first lifting drive device 3023 moves the second gripper 3024 downward and closer to the brake pipe connector, so that the second gripper 3024 can clamp the brake pipe connector. Subsequently, the second lateral drive device 3022 and the first lifting drive device 3023 move the brake pipe connector to the camera detection module 40, so that the camera detection module 40 can detect the welding quality of the solder on the brake pipe connector.

[0047] It should be noted that after the welding quality of the solder on the brake pipe joint is detected, the unloading module 50 picks up the brake pipe joint located at the camera detection module 40 and moves it to the designated unloading position. It is evident that, compared to the prior art which requires manual inspection, this application, by setting up the loading device 20, the transfer module 30, the camera detection module 40, and the unloading module 50, achieves advantages such as automation, more stable inspection quality, and suitability for mass production.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the unloading module 50 includes a second vertical seat 501, a third horizontal drive device 502, a second vertical drive device 503, a second lifting drive device 504, and a third gripper 505. The camera detection module 40 is located between the first vertical seat 3021 and the second vertical seat 501. The second vertical seat 501 is fixedly installed on the machine base 10. The third horizontal drive device 502 is installed on the second vertical seat 501. The second vertical drive device 503 is installed on the slider of the third horizontal drive device 502. The second lifting drive device 504 is installed on the push rod of the second vertical drive device 503. The third gripper 505 is installed on the push rod of the second lifting drive device 504.

[0049] It should be noted that the third lateral drive device 502 provides the conditions for the third gripper 505 to move in the left and right direction along the base 10, the second longitudinal drive device 503 provides the conditions for the third gripper 505 to move in the front and back direction along the base 10, and the second lifting drive device 504 provides the conditions for the third gripper 505 to move in the height direction along the base 10.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the camera detection module 40 includes a mounting base assembly 401 and several camera groups 402. The mounting base assembly 401 includes a ring guide rail 4011, a chain drive assembly 4012, several seats 4013, and a toothed belt drive assembly 4014. The chain drive assembly 4012 includes a chain, two sprockets, and a second rotary drive device. One of the sprockets is connected to the shaft of the second rotary drive device. The inner sides of both ends of the chain are respectively engaged with the two sprockets. The seats 4013 are fixedly mounted on the chain, and the seats 4013 slide... The toothed belt drive assembly 4014 is rotatably mounted on the annular guide rail 4011 and two rotating shafts 40134 are rotatably mounted on the base 4013. Each rotating shaft 40134 has a first gear 40131 and a support roller. The toothed belt drive assembly 4014 includes a toothed belt 40141, two pulleys and a third rotary drive device. The two pulleys are located inside the two ends of the toothed belt 40141. One pulley is mounted on the rotating shaft 40134 of the third rotary drive device. The first gear 40131 is connected to the toothed belt 40141 for power transmission.

[0051] To specifically realize the power transmission connection between the first gear 40131 and the toothed belt 40141, a gear shaft is also rotatably mounted on the seat 4013. The gear shaft has a second gear 40132 and a third gear 40133 arranged at intervals. The second gear 40132 meshes with the first gear 40131 on both rotating shafts 40134 at the same time, and the third gear 40133 meshes with or disengages from the toothed belt 40141.

[0052] It should be noted that when the shaft 40134 of the second rotary drive device rotates, the sprocket rotates, driving the chain to move in a circular motion, and causing the seat 4013 to slide along the annular guide rail 4011. The annular guide rail 4011 provides guidance and support for the movement of the seat 4013. The chain drive assembly 4012 is located on one side of the seat 4013. When the shaft 40134 of the third rotary drive device on the chain drive assembly 4012 rotates, the pulley rotates and drives the toothed belt 40141. The device moves in a circular motion. When the seat 4013 moves to the toothed belt drive assembly 4014, the third gear 40133 meshes with the toothed belt 40141. The movement of the toothed belt 40141 can be considered as the movement of the rack, which drives the third gear 40133 to rotate circumferentially. This, in turn, drives the gear shaft and the second gear 40132 to rotate. Since the second gear 40132 simultaneously meshes with the first gear 40131 on both rotating shafts 40134, both rotating shafts 40134 rotate circumferentially. It should be emphasized that the horizontally arranged brake pipe connector is placed between the support rollers on the two rotating shafts 40134 via the third gripper 505. Because the rotating shafts 40134 rotate circumferentially, the brake pipe connector located between the two support rollers also rotates circumferentially, so that the camera assembly 402 can collect data on the welding status of the brake pipe connector throughout one revolution.

[0053] Specifically, the camera group 402 is located above the annular guide rail 4011, and the camera group 402 includes an outer contour camera, a first ring side solder camera, a second ring side solder camera, an inner ring solder camera, and a sleeve solder camera arranged in sequence.

[0054] It should be noted that the outer contour camera provides the conditions for acquiring the overall contour dimensions of the brake pipe joint; the first ring side solder camera provides the conditions for acquiring the welding quality of the weld between the first pipe body 91 and the outer wall of the ring body 92 in the brake pipe joint; the second ring side solder camera provides the conditions for acquiring the welding quality of the weld between the second pipe body 93 and the outer wall of the ring body 92 in the brake pipe joint; the inner ring solder camera provides the conditions for acquiring the welding quality of the weld between the first pipe body 91, the second pipe body 93 and the inner wall of the hole in the ring body 92; and the sleeve solder camera provides the conditions for acquiring the welding quality of the weld between the sleeve 90 and the first pipe body 91.

[0055] Furthermore, to prevent the brake pipe connector from detaching after moving to the end of the slide groove 2021, such as... Figure 4As shown, the feeding device 20 also includes a blocking device 203, which includes a baffle 2031 and a first linear drive device 2032. The baffle 2031 is connected to the push rod of the first linear drive device 2032. When the push rod of the first linear drive device 2032 is activated, the baffle 2031 blocks or exposes the end of the slide groove 2021.

[0056] It should be noted that by having the baffle 2031 normally block the end of the slide groove 2021, the brake pipe connector will not move further after contacting the baffle 2031. When the first gripper 3014 clamps the brake pipe connector, the push rod of the first linear drive device 2032 is retracted, and the baffle 2031 is exposed at the end of the slide groove 2021, so that the first gripper 3014 can remove the brake pipe connector along the longitudinal direction of the base 10.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the feeding module 50 also includes a defective product hopper 506 and a finished product hopper 507. Both the defective product hopper 506 and the finished product hopper 507 are located at the end of the second vertical seat 501 away from the first vertical seat 3021, and the defective product hopper 506 is located between the second vertical seat 501 and the finished product hopper 507. The defective product hopper 506 and the finished product hopper 507 are respectively located on one side and one end of the machine base 10.

[0058] It should be noted that by moving the third gripper 505, the corresponding brake pipe connector is dropped into the defective product hopper 506 or the finished product hopper 507.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the unloading module 50 further includes a palletizing device 508. The palletizing device 508 includes a longitudinal conveyor belt 5081, two third lifting drive devices 5082, two second linear drive devices 5083, and a vertically arranged guide frame 5084. One end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 5081 is located below the finished product hopper 507, and the other end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 5081 extends into the guide frame 5084. The two third lifting drive devices 5082 are installed in the height direction of the guide frame 5084 and are located at both ends of the guide frame 5084. Each push rod of the third lifting drive device 5082 is equipped with a second linear drive device 5083, and the two second linear drive devices 5083 face opposite directions.
