[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] refer to Figure 1An automatic defective product collection mechanism includes: a transmission component 1, a collection box 2, and a sensor 3. The transmission component 1 has a transmission surface 11 for transmitting defective products; the collection box 2 is disposed above one end of the transmission surface 11 in the transmission direction and is used to collect defective products transmitted from the transmission surface 11; the collection box 2 has an inlet 21 on the side near the input end of the transmission surface 11 and a retrieval port 22 on the top of the side away from the input end of the transmission surface 11, and a lockable door 23 is provided on the retrieval port 22; the sensor 3 is disposed on one or both sides of the collection box 2 perpendicular to the direction of the inlet 21 and is used to sense whether the collection box is full of defective products.
[0023] Understandably, the transmission component 1 is a part for transporting defective products, such as a belt conveyor or roller conveyor, but not limited to these. The collection box 2 is a part for collecting defective products, such as a square box structure or a cylindrical box structure, but not limited to these. The lockable door 23 can be a padlock, a combination lock, a built-in bullet lock, etc., but not limited to these. The sensor 3 can be a photoelectric sensor 3 or a laser sensor 3, etc., but not limited to these.
[0024] With this setup, defective products placed on the conveyor surface 11 can be transferred into the collection box 2, preventing damage and scrapping between defective products. The lockable door 23 can lock the retrieval port 22, facilitating dedicated management and effectively preventing the risk of defective products leaking out. The conveyor surface 11 can transport defective products to below the retrieval port 22, and opening the door 23 allows for direct removal of defective products from the retrieval port 22. The door 23 can be connected by hinges or a push-pull structure, but is not limited to these. The sensor 3 can detect whether the collection box is full of defective products, allowing staff to remove defective products promptly.
[0025] In some embodiments, the transmission component 1 further includes a frame 12, a transmission belt 13 disposed within the frame 12, and a driver 14 whose output end is connected to the transmission belt 13 and thus drives the transmission belt 13 to move; the transmission surface 11 is located on the top surface of the transmission belt 13; and the collection box 2 is disposed on the frame 12.
[0026] Understandably, frame 12 is a frame-shaped structure that can surround and fix the conveyor belt 13. The driver 14 can be a motor whose output end is directly connected to the conveyor belt 13, or it can be a combination of a motor with gear meshing, a transmission belt, and a transmission pulley, but it is not limited to these methods. The driver 14 can be mounted on frame 12 or on a support frame.
[0027] This setup, using a belt conveyor, provides a large and continuous conveyor surface 11, which is beneficial for transporting defective products. The frame 12 facilitates the stable installation of the conveyor belt 13 and the collection box 2.
[0028] In some embodiments, the length of the conveyor belt 13 is longer than the length of the collection box 2, and the extended portion of the conveyor belt 13 is the placement area 4, which is close to the inlet 21. Here, the placement area 4 is the exposed portion of the conveyor belt 13, which facilitates the placement of defective products in the placement area 4, and then the defective products are transported to the collection box 2 via the conveyor belt 13.
[0029] In some embodiments, the frame 12 is provided with two limiting members 5 extending to the side walls of the collection box 2 on both sides corresponding to the product placement area 4. Here, the limiting member 5 is a component that limits the transmission of defective products, and can be, for example, a plate structure or a structure with multiple limiting wheels, but is not limited to these. In this way, when defective products are transmitted on the conveyor belt 13, the limiting member 5 can limit the transmission of defective products, ensuring that defective products can smoothly enter the collection box 2.
[0030] In some embodiments, the collection mechanism further includes a support frame 6 disposed at the bottom of the frame 12. Here, the support frame 6 is a component that supports and mounts the entire collection mechanism, and may be a structure consisting of one or more uprights, or a box structure, etc., but is not limited thereto. In this way, the support frame 6 can support and elevate the entire collection mechanism, facilitating the placement of defective products.
[0031] In some embodiments, the collection box 2 has a through groove 24 on one or both sides perpendicular to the inlet 21, and the through groove 24 is located directly below the door 23 on the side near the inlet 21; the sensor 3 faces the through groove 24. Here, the through groove 24 leads to the interior of the collection box 2, and the sensor 3 can directly sense the defective products inside the collection box 2. Thus, when defective products accumulate to the sensor 3, it indicates that the dispensing port 22 is full of defective products, at which point the defective products can be removed. Too many defective products can easily cause them to be crushed and damaged.
[0032] In some embodiments, the collection mechanism further includes a controller and an alarm; the controller is electrically connected to the sensor 3, the driver 14, and the alarm. Specifically, when the sensor 3 detects that the box is full of defective products, it transmits an electrical signal to the controller, which then sends a command to the alarm to activate the alarm and simultaneously sends a command to the driver 14 to stop driving, thereby stopping the transmission of the conveyor belt 13. Finally, the operator unlocks the box and removes the defective products.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
