[0039] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.
[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 6 It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.
[0041] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic sorting device for electronic products, including a support drive mechanism 1 and a vision inspection device (CCD vision system) connected to the outside of the support drive mechanism 1. A sorting mechanism 2 is mounted on top of the support drive mechanism 1, and the support drive mechanism 1 transmits power to the sorting mechanism 2 to cause it to rotate. Different functional production lines are arranged around the sorting mechanism 2. The integrated production line transports electronic products and / or parts to the sorting mechanism 2. The vision inspection device is positioned above the entire device to perform visual inspection on the electronic products and parts in the sorting mechanism 2. Simultaneously, the vision inspection device feeds back the inspection results to the support drive mechanism 1, which, based on the feedback results, drives the sorting mechanism 2 to rotate at different angles and pushes out the products, thereby sorting the electronic products or parts to different production lines.
[0042] The aforementioned visual inspection equipment is prior art and not part of the improvements described in this application. Therefore, the specific structure and recognition method of the visual inspection equipment will not be elaborated upon in this application.
[0043] Specifically, the sorting mechanism 2 includes a rotating disk 21. A conductive slip ring 23 is mounted on the axis at the top of the rotating disk 21. The conductive slip ring 23 provides a stable power supply while the rotating disk 21 is rotating. Several electric push rods 24 are arranged in a circular array around the conductive slip ring 23 at the top of the rotating disk 21. The conductive slip ring 23 supplies power to each electric push rod 24 individually, ensuring that each electric push rod 24 can receive a start / stop signal independently.
[0044] The top of the rotating disk 21 is equipped with storage frames 26, the number of which corresponds to the number of electric push rods 24. The storage frames 26 are used to isolate and limit electronic products or parts entering the top of the rotating disk 21. The ends of the electric push rods 24 extend into the interior of the storage frames 26. When the electronic products or parts in the storage frames 26 move to a predetermined production line position, the vision inspection equipment sends a start command to the corresponding electric push rod 24. At this time, the electric push rods 24 push the electronic products or parts in the storage frames 26 onto the corresponding production line.
[0045] External devices such as push rods connected to vision devices, vacuum gripping devices, human intervention, etc. can push electronic products into the storage box 26, where they are confined and isolated.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the support drive mechanism 1 of this utility model includes a support device 11, which supports the entire device and adapts the height of the entire device to the height of the production line. A servo motor and a power distributor are installed inside the support device 11. Under the control of the PLC module, the servo motor precisely drives the rotating disk 21 to rotate, so that the opening of the storage frame 26 matches the output end of the product on the production line. External power is supplied to the servo motor and the conductive slip ring 23 through the power distributor. A wire inlet hole 14 is provided at the top axis of the support device 11, and the bottom of the conductive slip ring 23 extends into the wire inlet hole 14 and connects to the power distributor.
[0047] Both the servo motor and the conductive slip ring 23 are connected to an external CCD system. The CCD system sends different control signals to the servo motor and the conductive slip ring 23 according to the recognized content, so that the storage box 26 on the rotating disk 21 rotates to the appropriate position, and sends start and stop signals to different electric push rods 24 through the conductive slip ring 23, so as to achieve the purpose of pushing out electronic products or parts.
[0048] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the support device 11 of this invention is provided with a concave cavity 12, leaving a gap at the bottom of the rotating disk 21. A connecting traction ring 13 is provided at the edge of the top of the concave cavity 12. A coupling cylinder 22 is provided at the bottom of the rotating disk 21, and the connecting traction ring 13 and the coupling cylinder 22 cooperate to limit the rotation of the rotating disk 21. This allows the rotating disk 21 to rotate without detaching from the top of the support device 11, thereby improving the stability during transmission.
[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the concave cavity 12 of this invention is provided with multiple satellite gears 15. These multiple satellite gears 15 increase the contact area with the coupling cylinder 22 and simultaneously support the coupling cylinder 22, further improving the stability of the rotating disk 21. The inner wall of the coupling cylinder 22 is provided with driven teeth 221, which mesh with all the satellite gears 15. This improves the accuracy of the satellite gears 15 in transmitting power to the rotating disk 21. One of the satellite gears 15 is connected to the output end of a servo motor. When the satellite gear 15 is driven by the servo motor, the coupling cylinder 22 meshing with the satellite gear 15 will drive the rotating disk 21 to rotate with a predetermined torque.
[0050] like Figures 1-4 As shown in some embodiments, each storage frame 26 of this invention has clamping limiting members 27 on both sides of its inner wall, and the opposing surfaces of the two clamping limiting members 27 are elastic. The elasticity of the clamping limiting members 27 allows for the clamping of electronic products or parts entering the storage frame 26. This prevents displacement of electronic products and parts under centrifugal force during the rotation of the rotating disk 21, and the soft clamping limiting members 27 also protect the electronic products and parts. The clamping limiting members 27 are fixed inside the storage frame 26 by bolts. The clamping limiting members 27 can be disassembled to change different thicknesses, thereby altering the width inside the storage frame 26 to accommodate electronic products and parts of different sizes, improving ease of use and adaptability.
[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, all clamping and limiting members 27 of this invention include a rigid connecting plate 271, the outer surface of each rigid connecting plate 271 being covered with a soft adhesive strip 272, and all soft adhesive strips 272 being elastic. The rigid connecting plate 271 is a rigid sheet used to support the soft adhesive strip 272, and bolts can be threadedly connected to the rigid connecting plate 271. The soft adhesive strip 272 is used to provide elastic pressure to electronic products and components, as well as to provide cushioning protection, preventing electronic products and components from colliding with the inner wall of the storage frame 26 during the rotation of the rotating disk 21.
[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible adhesive strip 272 of this invention completely covers the end of the rigid connecting plate 271 facing the opening of the storage frame 26. This prevents products and parts from colliding with the rigid connecting plate 271 when entering through the opening of the storage frame 26, thus protecting electronic products and parts. The end of the flexible adhesive strip 272 facing the opening of the storage frame 26 is set as a bevel, and the cross-section of the two flexible adhesive strips 272 in top view is V-shaped, allowing parts to easily enter and be restrained between the two flexible adhesive strips 272.
[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, each electric push rod 24 of this invention has a protective rubber head 25 at its end, and the protective rubber head 25 is located inside the storage frame 26. The protective rubber head 25 is elastic. When the electric push rod 24 pushes electronic products and parts, the elastic protective rubber head 25 can prevent the end of the electric push rod 24 from having a hard impact with the electronic products or parts, thus protecting the electronic products and parts.
[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective rubber head 25 and the end of the electric push rod 24 are detachably connected. When the thickness of the clamping limit member 27 is changed, the protective rubber head 25 can be replaced accordingly, so that the diameter of the protective rubber head 25 is adapted to the distance between the two clamping limit members 27.
[0055] In summary, the automatic electronic product sorting device of this utility model, by setting a rotating disk 21 on the support drive mechanism 1 and driving the rotating disk 21 through the support drive mechanism 1, causes the electronic products or parts entering the storage box 26 to be rotated and transported to the corresponding production line. Then, the electronic products or parts are pushed onto the production line by the electric push rod 24. The rotation of the rotating disk 21 enables the interaction of parts between different production lines, achieving the effect of sorting electronic products and parts to different production lines. Moreover, multiple production lines can exchange parts and products with each other.
[0056] This utility model provides a clamping and limiting member 27 inside the storage frame 26. When electronic products and parts are squeezed into the storage frame 26, the clamping and limiting member 27 will clamp the electronic products or parts elastically, preventing them from being thrown out by the centrifugal force of the rotating disk 21.
[0057] This utility model detachably installs the clamping and limiting member 27 in the storage frame 26. By installing clamping and limiting members 27 of different thicknesses, the width inside the storage frame 26 can be changed, thereby achieving clamping and limiting of electronic products and parts of different sizes, and improving the adaptability.
[0058] Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.
[0059] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
