Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation technology, and more specifically to a high-speed slicer. Background Technology

[0002] Badminton is widely used in sports and leisure activities. Because airflow has a significant impact on the trajectory of a badminton shuttlecock during use, the feathers used on each shuttlecock must have identical characteristics during the manufacturing process. This necessitates a feather sorting device to classify and sort the feathers.

[0003] A badminton feather sorting machine is a specialized device for sorting and screening feathers. The feathers are introduced into the sorting machine through a feeding channel. The sorting machine uses a high-speed camera or other visual inspection device to detect the feathers and analyzes and interprets them through image processing algorithms. Through image processing algorithms, the sorting machine extracts the features of the feathers and classifies and sorts them according to pre-set standards and classification rules. Different categories of feathers are then output to the corresponding collection devices through guide plates.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN114682503B discloses a feather sorting machine for badminton shuttlecock production. This machine includes a support base fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of a support leg. The top outer wall of the support base is sequentially provided with a feather guiding mechanism, a feather conveying mechanism, and a feather sorting mechanism. A turntable is rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the support base via a rotating shaft. The feather sorting mechanism includes an intermediate seat, a rotating disk, an assembly plate, and a storage section. The bottom outer wall of the intermediate seat is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the turntable. The intermediate seat is located near the top... A second motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating disk; the bottom end of the rotating disk is rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the intermediate seat via a rotating shaft, and one end of the rotating disk is connected to the output end of the second motor via a connecting shaft; the bottom outer wall of the assembly plate is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the rotating disk; the storage section includes a guide plate and a collection box, the top end of the guide plate is fixedly connected to the circumferential outer wall of the intermediate seat; the bottom outer wall of the collection box is set on the top outer wall of the rotating disk, and a viewing window is fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the collection box; a controller is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the rotating disk.

[0005] However, the feather sorting machine used in badminton production employs multiple telescopic devices, conveyor belts, and clamping assemblies to transport and sort feathers, resulting in a complex overall equipment structure and high manufacturing costs, which need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-speed slicing machine, which has the effects of simple structure and improved accuracy and efficiency of feather detection and sorting.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A high-speed feather slicing machine includes a feeding unit, a front detection unit, and a back detection unit. The back detection unit is equipped with a back detection camera for detecting the shape and specifications of the back of feathers, multiple discharge units for matching feathers at corresponding positions, and a receiving box that matches the discharge units. The feeding unit is used to convey feathers into the front detection unit. The front detection unit is equipped with a front detection camera for detecting the shape and specifications of the front of feathers and a flipping unit for flipping the feathers and conveying them into the back detection unit.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding unit automatically conveys the feathers into the front detection unit. The front detection unit drives the feathers to move and detects the shape and specifications of the front of the feathers through the front detection camera. Then, the flipping unit conveys the feathers in motion into the back detection unit for continuous movement. During the movement, the back detection camera detects the shape and specifications of the back of the feathers. Combining the shape and specifications of the front and back, the corresponding feathers are then sorted into matching receiving boxes by the discharge unit, completing the rapid and high-precision sorting of feathers. This also optimizes the structural composition of the high-speed sizing machine, thereby significantly reducing production and maintenance costs.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the front detection unit includes a front conveyor belt, the front conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of equally spaced front spacing ribs, and a front spacing groove matching the feather is formed between two adjacent front spacing ribs; the flipping unit includes a flipping sleeve plate located at one end of the front conveyor belt, the flipping sleeve plate is used to match the front spacing groove and restrict the feather to flipping relative to the front conveyor belt; the back detection unit is located below the front detection unit and is used to receive the feathers introduced through the flipping sleeve plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the front conveyor belt is used to continuously operate and drive the feathers forward. The front spacing groove between two adjacent front spacing ribs effectively limits the feathers, preventing them from falling out of the corresponding front spacing groove. When the feathers move to one end of the flip plate, the flip plate restricts the feathers from falling out of the corresponding front spacing groove. As the feathers move from the upper side to the lower side of the front conveyor belt, the flip plate supports the feathers, thus working with the front spacing ribs on the front conveyor belt to push the feathers forward. At this time, the feathers will be gradually pushed to the back detection unit located below the front detection unit as the front spacing ribs move. With the operation of the back detection unit, the feathers will be driven to further move and for back shape and specification detection and sorting.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the upper side of the flipping sleeve is provided with an upwardly inclined feeding guide, and the lower side is provided with a downwardly inclined discharging feed.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding guide effectively guides the feathers into the inner side of the flip plate along the front conveyor belt, avoiding feather position deviation that would affect feather conveying and detection; the discharge feeding section is used to effectively guide the feathers into the back detection unit, thereby preventing the front spacer ribs from continuing to push the feathers and affecting the automated feeding effect of the feathers and the back detection unit.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: an infeed limiting cover is provided on the upper side of the discharge feeding part; the feeding unit consists of multiple feeding pipes that match the corresponding front spacer grooves and a partitioning cavity for guiding the feathers in the feeding pipes into the corresponding front spacer grooves; the partitioning cavity is connected to the infeed limiting cover.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding limit plate can prevent the feathers entering the front partition groove through the partition cavity from shifting their position, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and stability of automated feather feeding, and thus improving the detection accuracy and efficiency of the morphological specifications of the front and back of the feathers.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: the back detection unit includes a back conveyor belt, the back conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of equally spaced back spacer ribs, and a back spacer groove matching the feather is formed between two adjacent back spacer ribs; the back spacer groove is used to match the front spacer groove vertically; the discharge unit includes a plurality of air nozzles matching the corresponding back spacer grooves, and each air nozzle is correspondingly provided with a guide cylinder for guiding the feather movement, the guide cylinder matching the corresponding receiving box.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the back conveyor belt is used to continuously operate and drive the feathers forward. The back spacing groove between two adjacent back spacing ribs effectively limits the feathers, preventing them from falling out of the corresponding back spacing groove. Then, when the feathers move to match the corresponding air nozzle, the air nozzle blows the corresponding feathers into the guide tube, and the guide tube guides the feathers into the corresponding receiving box to complete the feather sorting.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the plurality of air nozzles are arranged in two rows and are respectively located on both sides of the rear conveyor belt at intervals.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the feathers are arranged at intervals and distributed on both sides, which can effectively prevent the problem of the small gap between two adjacent air nozzles from affecting the sorting accuracy of the feathers, and significantly improve the sorting efficiency of the feathers.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that: both the front conveyor belt and the back conveyor belt are driven by corresponding motors, and each of the front conveyor belts or the back conveyor belts is equipped with a proximity switch. The proximity switch is used to monitor the position of the corresponding front or back spacer strip and drive the corresponding motor to control the back spacer slot to match the front spacer slot.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor, in conjunction with the proximity switch, enables the back spacing slot to match the front spacing slot during the operation of the front and back conveyor belts, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of feathers during flipping and transfer.

[0022] The present invention is further configured to include a frame, wherein the feeding unit, the front detection unit and the back detection unit are all mounted and fixed on the upper side of the frame; the frame is provided with casters and a storage chamber.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the frame is used to support and move the feeding unit, the front detection unit, and the back detection unit, thereby significantly improving the practicality of the high-speed slicer.

[0024] In summary, this utility model discloses a high-speed feather sorting machine. This high-speed feather sorting machine uses a flipping unit to flip the feathers that have undergone front-side morphology and specification detection and then conveys them into a back-side detection unit. After the back-side detection camera detects the morphology and specification of the feathers, the feathers are then fed into the corresponding receiving box through the discharge unit to complete the feather sorting. This allows the feathers to move continuously during the inspection process, thereby achieving fully automated feeding, inspection, and sorting, significantly improving the sorting accuracy and efficiency of feathers. Furthermore, the overall structure of this high-speed feather sorting machine is simple, thus significantly reducing production and maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] It should be mentioned that in this embodiment, the front detection camera 21 and the back detection camera 31 are both linked through a processing controller and used to control the corresponding air nozzles 33 to start and complete the sorting of feathers. The proximity switch 24 is used to match the front conveyor belt 22, so as to adjust the stroke of the front conveyor belt 22 when the front spacing groove 222 and the back spacing groove 322 do not achieve effective corresponding pairing, thereby improving the accuracy of feather conveying. This will not be elaborated here.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, a high-speed feather slicing machine includes a feeding unit 1, a front detection unit 2, and a back detection unit 3. The feeding unit 1 conveys feathers into the front detection unit 2, which is equipped with a front detection camera 21 for detecting the shape and specifications of the front of the feathers, and a flipping unit for flipping the feathers and conveying them into the back detection unit 3. The back detection unit 3 is equipped with a back detection camera 31 for detecting the shape and specifications of the back of the feathers, multiple discharge units for matching feathers at corresponding positions, and a receiving box 35 that matches the discharge units. Therefore, after the feeding unit 1 automatically conveys the feathers into the front detection unit 2, the front detection unit 2 drives the feathers to move and detects the shape and specifications of the front of the feathers through the front detection camera 21. Then, the flipping unit conveys the feathers in the process of moving into the back detection unit 3 for continuous movement. During the movement, the back detection camera 31 detects the shape and specifications of the back of the feathers. By combining the shape and specifications of the front and back, the corresponding feathers are sorted into the matching receiving box 35 by the discharge unit, which completes the rapid and high-precision sorting of feathers and optimizes the structural composition of the high-speed sizing machine, thereby significantly reducing the production and maintenance costs.

[0034] To enable the orderly installation of the feeding unit 1, the front detection unit 2, and the back detection unit 3, the high-speed slitting machine also includes a frame 4. The feeding unit 1, the front detection unit 2, and the back detection unit 3 are then mounted and fixed on the frame 4. The entire machine can be moved by the casters of the frame 4. A storage chamber (not shown in the figure) is provided on the frame 4 to store the parts, thereby significantly improving the practicality of the high-speed slitting machine.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the front detection unit 2 includes a front conveyor belt 22. The front conveyor belt 22 has multiple equally spaced front spacer ribs 221, and a front spacer groove 222 matching the feather is formed between adjacent front spacer ribs 221. The flipping unit includes a flipping sleeve 25 located at one end of the front conveyor belt 22, and the flipping sleeve 25 is used to match the front spacer groove 222 and restrict the feather's flipping movement relative to the front conveyor belt 22. Meanwhile, the back detection unit 3 is located below the front detection unit 2 and is used to receive the feathers introduced through the flipping sleeve 25. Therefore, the front conveyor belt 22 is used to continuously operate and move the feathers. The front spacing grooves 222 between adjacent front spacing ribs 221 effectively limit the feathers, preventing them from detaching from the corresponding front spacing grooves 222. When the feathers move to one end of the flip plate 25, the flip plate 25 restricts the feathers from detaching from the corresponding front spacing grooves 222. As the feathers move from the upper side to the lower side of the front conveyor belt 22, the flip plate 25 supports the feathers, thus coordinating with the front spacing ribs 221 on the front conveyor belt 22 to push the feathers forward. At this time, the feathers are gradually pushed onto the back detection unit 3 located below the front detection unit 2 as the front spacing ribs 221 move. With the operation of the back detection unit 3, the feathers are further moved and their back shape and specifications are detected and sorted. It should be mentioned that, as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, an upwardly inclined feed guide 251 is provided on the upper side of the flipping sleeve 25, and a downwardly inclined discharge feed 252 is provided on the lower side of the flipping sleeve 25. The feed guide 251 effectively guides the feathers into the inner side of the flipping sleeve 25 along with the front conveyor belt 22, preventing the feathers from shifting position and affecting the feather conveying and detection; the discharge feed 252 is used to effectively guide the feathers into the back detection unit 3, thereby preventing the front spacer ribs 221 from continuing to push the feathers and affecting the automated feeding effect of the feathers and the back detection unit 3.

[0036] To improve the stability of feather feeding, a feeding limiting cover 23 is provided on the upper side of the feeding section 252. The feeding unit 1 consists of multiple feeding pipes that match the corresponding frontal spacer slots 222 and a partition opening 11 for guiding the feathers in the feeding pipes into the corresponding frontal spacer slots 222, and the partition opening 11 is connected to the feeding limiting cover 23. Therefore, the feeding limiting cover prevents the feathers entering the frontal spacer slots 222 through the partition opening 11 from shifting their position, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and stability of automated feather feeding, and thus improving the detection accuracy and efficiency of the front and back morphological specifications of the feathers.

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the back detection unit 3 includes a back conveyor belt 32. The back conveyor belt 32 is provided with multiple equally spaced back spacer ribs 321, and a back spacer groove 322 matching the feathers is formed between adjacent back spacer ribs 321. The back spacer grooves 322 are used to match the front spacer grooves 222 vertically. Meanwhile, the discharge unit includes multiple air nozzles 33 that match the corresponding back spacer grooves 322, and each air nozzle 33 is correspondingly provided with a guide cylinder 34 for guiding the feather movement. The guide cylinder 34 matches the corresponding receiving box 35. Therefore, the back conveyor belt 32 is used to continuously operate and move the feathers forward. The back spacing groove 322 between two adjacent back spacing ribs 321 effectively limits the feathers and prevents them from falling out of the corresponding back spacing groove 322. Then, when the feathers move to match the corresponding air nozzle 33, the air nozzle 33 blows the corresponding feathers into the guide cylinder 34. The guide cylinder 34 guides the feathers into the corresponding receiving box 35 to complete the feather sorting.

[0038] It should be mentioned that multiple air nozzles 33 are arranged in two rows and are located on both sides of the rear conveyor belt 32 at intervals. By arranging the feathers at intervals and distributing them on both sides, the problem of the sorting accuracy of feathers being affected by the small gap between two adjacent air nozzles 33 is effectively prevented, and the sorting efficiency of feathers is significantly improved.

[0039] In order to achieve the orderly operation of the front conveyor belt 22 and the back conveyor belt 32, a motor is used to drive the front conveyor belt 22 or the back conveyor belt 32. The drive operation is achieved by setting a meshing gear set between the front conveyor belt 22 and the back conveyor belt 32, or a corresponding motor is set on both the front conveyor belt 22 and the back conveyor belt 32 to drive the operation.

[0040] In this embodiment, both the front conveyor belt 22 and the back conveyor belt 32 are driven by corresponding motors, and their rotation directions are opposite, thereby enabling the back spacing groove 322 to move in a matching manner with the front spacing groove 222. Simultaneously, a proximity switch 24 is provided on either the front conveyor belt 22 or the back conveyor belt 32. The proximity switch 24 monitors the position of the corresponding front spacing rib 221 or back spacing rib 321 and drives the corresponding motor to control the back spacing groove 322 to match the front spacing groove 222. Therefore, during the operation of the front conveyor belt 22 and the back conveyor belt 32, the motor, in conjunction with the proximity switch 24, enables the back spacing groove 322 to match the front spacing groove 222, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of feather transfer during tumbling.

[0041] In summary, this utility model discloses a high-speed feather sorting machine. This high-speed feather sorting machine uses a flipping unit to flip the feathers that have undergone front-side morphology and specification detection and then conveys them into the back-side detection unit 3. After the back-side detection camera 31 detects the morphology and specification of the back side of the feathers, the feathers are then fed into the corresponding receiving box 35 through the discharge unit to complete the feather sorting. This allows the feathers to move continuously during the inspection process, thereby achieving fully automated feeding, inspection, and sorting, significantly improving the sorting accuracy and efficiency of feathers. Furthermore, the overall structure of this high-speed feather sorting machine is simple, thus significantly reducing production and maintenance costs.
