[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, referring to Figures 1 and 2, a rubber ring detection and sorting machine is provided, including a base 100, and a feeding mechanism 200, a conveying mechanism 300, a positioning mechanism 400, a detection mechanism 500, and a sorting mechanism 600 disposed on the base 100. The feeding mechanism 200 is used to feed rubber rings onto the conveying mechanism 300, and the conveying mechanism 300 is used to convey the rubber rings sequentially through the positioning mechanism 400, the detection mechanism 500, and the sorting mechanism 600. The positioning mechanism 400 is used to position the rubber rings on the conveying mechanism 300, the detection mechanism 500 is used to detect the rubber rings on the conveying mechanism 300, and the sorting mechanism 600 is used to sort the rubber rings on the conveying mechanism 300 to determine whether they are NG (not good) or OK (good).

The conveying mechanism 300 carries the rubber rings sequentially through the positioning mechanism 400, the detection mechanism 500, and the sorting mechanism 600. The positioning mechanism 400 positions each rubber ring on the conveying mechanism 300. After the conveying mechanism 300 moves a certain distance, it determines that the rubber ring is in the position of the detection mechanism 500. The detection mechanism 500 takes a picture of the rubber ring on the conveying mechanism 300 to detect whether the rubber ring is OK or NG. Then, the conveying mechanism 300 moves forward a certain distance and stops at the sorting mechanism 600. Based on the OK or NG products detected by the detection mechanism 500, the rubber rings are sorted and unloaded, so that OK and NG products can be separated. The rubber ring detection and sorting machine provided by this utility model can automatically perform feeding, detection, and sorting, freeing up manpower, reducing the labor costs of enterprises, and achieving higher sorting accuracy.

[0023] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the feeding mechanism 200 includes a vibratory feeder 210 and a feeding guide rail 220. The vibratory feeder 210 is mounted on the machine base 100. One end of the feeding guide rail 220 is connected to the outlet of the vibratory feeder 210, and the other end faces the conveying mechanism 300, used to guide the rubber rings fed from the vibratory feeder 210 into the conveying mechanism 300. In this embodiment, the vibratory feeder 210 vibrates the feeding rubber rings, causing the rubber rings to uniformly enter the conveying mechanism 300 along the feeding guide rail 220.

[0024] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the conveying mechanism 300 includes a drive motor 310 and a turntable 320. The drive motor 310 is mounted on the base 100, and the center point of the turntable 320 is located at the drive end of the drive motor 310. The drive motor 310 drives the turntable 320 to rotate around its connection point with the drive motor 310. The drive motor 310 drives the turntable 320 to pass sequentially through the positioning mechanism 400, the detection mechanism 500, and the sorting mechanism 600. In this embodiment, the drive motor 310 drives the turntable 320 to rotate, causing the rubber ring to pass sequentially through the positioning mechanism 400, the detection mechanism 500, and the sorting mechanism 600. The positioning mechanism 400, the detection mechanism 500, and the sorting mechanism 600 are all located on the side of the turntable 320, which saves space and makes the rubber ring detection and sorting machine provided by this utility model more compact.

[0025] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the positioning mechanism 400 includes a positioning frame 410 and a photoelectric sensor 420. The positioning frame 410 is mounted on the base 100, and the photoelectric sensor 420 is mounted on the positioning frame 410 and faces the turntable 320, used to sense the position of the rubber ring on the turntable 320. In this embodiment, when the feeding mechanism 200 feeds the rubber ring onto the turntable 320, the drive motor 310 drives the turntable 320 to rotate. When the rubber ring reaches the positioning mechanism 400, the photoelectric sensor 420 senses that there is a rubber ring on the turntable 320, records the position of the rubber ring, and determines the position of the rubber ring when it reaches the detection mechanism 500 based on the angle selected by the turntable 320. The detection mechanism 500 then takes a picture of the rubber ring on the turntable 320 for detection. After the detection is completed, the drive motor 310 drives the turntable 320 to rotate, so that the rubber ring reaches the sorting mechanism 600. Based on the detection results of the detection mechanism 500, the rubber ring is sorted into NG and OK products, completing the detection and sorting tasks and freeing up manpower.

[0026] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the detection mechanism 500 includes two CCD cameras 510. The turntable 320 is made of transparent material. The two CCD cameras 510 are respectively positioned above and below the turntable 320 for taking pictures to detect the rubber ring on the turntable 320. In this embodiment, the turntable 320 is made of transparent material, and the two CCD cameras 510 are respectively positioned above and below the turntable 320, and are perpendicular to the turntable 320, for taking pictures of the upper and lower ends of the rubber ring. This is used to detect whether the diameter of the upper and lower ends of the rubber ring is up to standard, whether there is any residue of the sprue in the rubber ring, and whether there are any burrs on the rubber ring. It is not necessary to operate the rubber ring to flip it over to detect the two ends of the rubber ring.

[0027] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, another CCD camera 510 is also included. The CCD camera 510 is positioned on the side of the turntable 320 and parallel to the turntable 320, and is used to take pictures to detect the height of the rubber ring on the turntable 320. In this embodiment, this CCD camera 510 is used to take pictures to determine whether the height of the rubber ring is acceptable.

[0028] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the sorting mechanism 600 includes an NG (Not Good) unloading component 610 and an OK (Good) unloading component 620. The NG unloading component 610 and the OK unloading component 620 are respectively disposed on the sides of the turntable 320, with the NG unloading component positioned in front of the OK unloading component. In this embodiment, the NG unloading component 610 is positioned in front of the OK unloading component 620, allowing NG products to be unloaded before OK products. OK products entering NG products do not affect the shipment quality, but NG products entering OK products do affect the shipment quality. Therefore, NG products need to be unloaded first to prevent them from entering the OK unloading component 620 during the unloading process.

[0029] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the NG unloading mechanism includes an NG collection cylinder 611, an NG collection trough 612, and an NG collection air gun 613. The NG collection cylinder 611 is disposed within the machine base 100, and the NG collection trough 612 is disposed on the machine base 100, with one end of the NG collection trough 612 facing the NG collection cylinder 611 and the other end disposed on one side of the turntable 320. The NG collection air gun 613 is disposed on one side of the turntable 320 and is used to blow NG rubber rings on the turntable 320 into the NG collection trough 612. In this embodiment, when the rubber ring is detected as NG by the detection mechanism 500, when the rubber ring reaches the NG unloading mechanism, the NG collection air gun 613 blows air, causing the NG rubber ring on the turntable 320 to fall into the NG collection trough 612. The NG collection trough 612 guides the NG rubber ring into the NG collection cylinder 611 for recycling and reprocessing.

[0030] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the OK feeding mechanism includes an OK collecting cylinder 621, an OK collecting trough 622, and an OK collecting air gun 623. The OK collecting cylinder 621 is disposed within the machine base 100, and the OK collecting trough 622 is disposed on the machine base 100, with one end of the trough facing the OK collecting cylinder 621 and the other end disposed on one side of the turntable 320. The OK collecting air gun 623 is disposed on one side of the turntable 320 and is used to blow OK product rubber rings on the turntable 320 into the OK collecting trough 622. In this embodiment, when the rubber ring is detected as OK by the detection mechanism 500, when the rubber ring reaches the OK feeding mechanism, the OK collecting air gun 623 blows air, causing the OK product rubber ring on the turntable 320 to fall into the OK collecting trough 622. The OK collecting trough 622 guides the OK rubber ring to fall into the OK collecting cylinder 621 for recycling.

[0031] The rest of this embodiment is the same as that in Embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained using the methods in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
