Description

A device for removing impurities from bird's nests Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird's nest processing technology, and in particular to a bird's nest impurity removal and fine selection device. Background Technology

[0002] The existing technology for picking feathers from natural bird's nests mainly involves manually picking and removing the feathers from the natural bird's nests with tweezers. Due to the complexity of the picking process, it takes one person nearly 3 to 5 hours to completely pick out the feathers from a single natural bird's nest. In order to improve the efficiency of feather picking.

[0003] Chinese patent application number 201810785510.2 discloses a machine vision-based bird's nest feather sorting device and method. This device acquires and collects images of natural bird's nests using an industrial CCD camera, utilizes machine vision algorithms to identify feather features, and controls a robot to locate these features. The feather sorting is then completed by the robot's end effector designed in this invention. This machine vision-based bird's nest feather sorting device has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, and can effectively sort lightweight, small feathers. Its sorting method can quickly and accurately identify the features of a large number of feathers and rapidly grasp them, making it particularly suitable for robotic automated production lines. During the feather sorting process, waste feathers become entangled in the gripper. Over time, these waste feathers affect the gripper's sorting efficiency, requiring regular cleaning and replacement. However, gripper replacement is often done manually, resulting in low production efficiency in continuous production, which needs optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, this embodiment proposes a device for removing impurities and refining bird's nests, comprising:

[0038] Machine base 1, with tooling tray 2 on the upper end of machine base 1, movable arm 4 above tooling tray 2, and assembly fixture and optical components at the bottom of movable arm 4;

[0039] A positioning mechanism is placed between the machine base 1 and the tooling pallet 2, and between the tooling pallet 2 and the movable arm 4, and is used to adjust the position of the tooling pallet 2 and the movable arm 4 on the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis.

[0040] The feather picker 6 is located at the lower end of the assembly fixture and is used to pick up stray feathers from the bird's nest.

[0041] The optical component uses the principle of optical imaging to acquire and analyze images of bird's nest, identify the hairs, impurities, and features such as the shape and size of the bird's nest, and converts them into electrical signals to the host system. The host system adjusts the position of the tooling tray 2 and the movable arm 4 on the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis through the positioning mechanism, so that the feather picker 6 on the movable arm 4 can fall on the corresponding area on the tooling tray 2 and pick up the impurities from the bird's nest.

[0042] The brush removal plate 82 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the machine base 1. Below the brush removal plate 82 is a recycling box 81 for collecting waste hair and the hair picker 6. The brush removal plate 82 is equipped with a brush removal assembly and a hair removal mechanism.

[0043] The brush handle pre-installation mechanism 7 is placed on the upper end of the machine base 1 and is used to place the pre-installed hair picker 6.

[0044] When there is too much waste hair on the hair picker 6, the positioning mechanism moves the hair picker 6 to the brush removal plate 82. The brush removal plate 82 cleans the waste hair on the brush removal plate 82 through the stray hair cleaning mechanism, thereby improving the hair picking efficiency of the hair picker 6. When the brush that has been cleaned has reached its reasonable service life, the brush removal component on the brush removal plate 82 can be used to remove the brush. Then, the hair picker 6 is automatically replaced by the brush handle pre-installation mechanism 7. The replaced hair picker 6 is then cleaned and disinfected and prepared for reuse in the next cycle. The hair picker 6 has an automatic replacement function, which can greatly improve the hair picking efficiency of the hair picking device and ensure that the product can be put into mass production.

[0045] The hair picker 6 includes a brush handle 61, a convex ring 62, and a fine filament brush 63. The convex ring 62 is fitted around the outside of the brush handle 61, and the brush handle 61 is fixedly connected to the convex ring 62. The fine filament brush 63 is fixedly disposed at the front of the brush handle 61.

[0046] The assembly fixture includes a first bracket 41, which is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the movable arm 4. A brushless spindle 5 is provided at the lower end of the first bracket 41. The brushless spindle 5 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 41. A slot 51 is provided at the lower end of the brushless spindle 5, and the slot 51 is plugged into and connected to the tail of the brush handle 61.

[0047] The fine-filament rubber brush 63 at the front of the brush handle 61 can easily pick up residual feathers from the moist bird's nest when cleaning. The protruding ring 62 in the middle of the brush handle 61 facilitates the removal of the handle during automatic handle replacement. The tail structure of the brush handle 61 can be inserted into the slot 51 at the bottom of the brushless spindle 5 by plugging and unplugging, realizing the automatic connection between the brushless spindle 5 and the brush handle 61. A brushless motor can be separately installed on the first bracket 41. The brushless motor is connected to the brushless spindle 5 through a clamping structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0048] The positioning mechanism includes a slide table 3, an X-axis adjusting component, a Y-axis adjusting component, and a Z-axis adjusting component. The X-axis and Y-axis adjusting components are installed on the upper end of the machine base 1. The tooling tray 2 is slidably connected to the machine base 1 through the Y-axis adjusting component. The slide table 3 is slidably connected to the machine base 1 through the X-axis adjusting component. The Z-axis adjusting component is installed on the side of the slide table 3. The movable arm 4 is slidably connected to the slide table 3 through the Z-axis adjusting component.

[0049] The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis adjusting components are linear motors. These linear motors adjust the position of the movable arm 4 on the X and Z axes, and thus the position of the tooling tray 2 on the Y-axis. Of course, in addition to linear motors, other linear mechanisms such as screw mechanisms can also be used as alternatives.

[0050] The optical components include a second bracket 42, which is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the movable arm 4. A camera 43 is located in the center of the second bracket 42, and a lighting panel 44 is located at the bottom of the second bracket 42. The camera 43 captures and analyzes images of the bird's nest, identifying features such as hairs, impurities, shape, and size. The lighting panel 44 provides illumination to the area of ​​the tooling tray 2, ensuring clear and reliable images.

[0051] The brush removal assembly includes a positioning hole 83 and a brush removal groove 84 formed on the brush removal plate 82. The positioning hole 83 and the brush removal groove 84 are both located above the recycling box 81. The positioning hole 83 and the brush removal groove 84 are connected. The diameter of the positioning hole 83 is larger than the diameter of the convex ring 62. The width of the brush removal groove 84 is larger than the diameter of the filament brush 63 and the brush handle 61, but smaller than the diameter of the convex ring 62.

[0052] During brush removal, the brushless spindle 5 pushes the fine filament brush 63 and the convex ring 62 into the positioning hole 83. When the convex ring 62 is below the brush removal plate 82, the brush handle 61 moves along the brush removal groove 84, so that the convex ring 62 is misaligned with the positioning hole 83. Since the width of the brush removal groove 84 is smaller than the diameter of the convex ring 62, the brushless spindle 5 is pulled upward. Under the obstruction of the convex ring 62, the tail of the brush handle 61 will be pulled directly out from the bottom of the brushless spindle 5 and fall into the recycling box 81, realizing the automatic handle removal operation.

[0053] The lint removal mechanism includes two lint-removing toothed brushes 85 located on the upper end of the brush removal plate 82, with the brush removal toothed brushes 85 positioned on the left and right sides of the brush removal groove 84, respectively. The lint-removing toothed brushes 85 can rotate freely. After the lint picker 6 removes lint, the fine filament rubber brush 63 at the front end of the brush handle 61 will accumulate a lot of waste hair. By sliding the brush handle 61 between the two lint-removing toothed brushes 85 and pulling it vertically upwards, the waste hair wrapped around the fine filament rubber brush 63 will be removed by the lint-removing toothed brushes 85. The cleaned lint picker 6 can then be reused.

[0054] The brush handle pre-installation mechanism 7 includes a third bracket 71, a motor 72, and a pre-installation plate 73. The third bracket 71 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the machine base 1, the motor 72 is fixedly installed inside the third bracket 71, and the pre-installation plate 73 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the third bracket 71. The output end of the motor 72 is fixedly connected to the pre-installation plate 73. The pre-installation plate 73 has several pre-installation holes 74. The diameter of the pre-installation holes 74 is smaller than the diameter of the convex ring 62 and larger than the diameter of the brush handle 61.

[0055] The cleaned and disinfected hair picker 6 is pre-installed on the pre-installation plate 73. The brush handle 61 is inserted into the pre-installation hole 74. The protruding ring 62 limits the brush handle 61. After the brushless spindle 5 moves above the pre-installation plate 73 after the brush is removed, the motor 72 controls the pre-installation plate 73 to rotate, sending the corresponding brush handle 61 to the bottom of the brushless spindle 5. The brushless spindle 5 will fall under the push of the movable arm 4. The tail end of the brush handle 61 is inserted into the slot 51. The brushless spindle 5 is connected to the brush handle 61. The movable arm 4 is lifted upward to complete the automated assembly of the hair picker 6.

[0056] It is worth explaining in detail that a fourth bracket 11 is provided at the upper end of the machine base 1. The fourth bracket 11 is placed between the brush removal plate 82 and the brush handle pre-installation mechanism 7. A sensor probe 12 is provided on the top of the fourth bracket 11. After the sensor probe 12 determines whether there is a brush handle on the brushless spindle 5, pre-installation, brush removal or brush removal operations are performed.

[0057] It is worth explaining in detail that the upper end of the machine 1 is provided with a placement slot 8 for placing the recycling box 81, and the recycling box 81 is slidably connected to the placement slot 8. The brush removal plate 82 is fixed in the upper half of the placement slot 8. When the recycling box 81 is taken out of the placement slot 8 for cleaning, the recycling box 81 is pulled horizontally to move the recycling box 81 out from under the brush removal plate 82.

[0058] How this application works:

[0059] The optical component uses the principle of optical imaging to acquire and analyze images of bird's nest, identify the hairs, impurities, and features such as the shape and size of the bird's nest, and converts them into electrical signals to the host system. The host system adjusts the position of the tooling tray 2 and the movable arm 4 on the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis through the positioning mechanism, so that the feather picker 6 on the movable arm 4 can fall on the corresponding area on the tooling tray 2 and pick up the impurities from the bird's nest.

[0060] When there is too much waste hair on the hair picker 6, the positioning mechanism moves the hair picker 6 to the brush removal plate 82. The brush removal plate 82 cleans the waste hair on the brush removal plate 82 through the hair removal mechanism, thereby improving the hair picking efficiency of the hair picker 6. When the brush that has been cleaned is detected to have reached its reasonable service life, the brush removal component on the brush removal plate 82 can be used to remove the brush. Then the hair picker 6 is automatically replaced by the brush handle pre-installation mechanism 7. The replaced hair picker 6 is then cleaned and disinfected and prepared for the next cycle of recycling.
