Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of material sorting devices, specifically relating to an automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the current field of automated production and inspection, a crucial step to ensure products meet factory quality standards is rigorous quality inspection of finished workpieces. Existing technologies typically employ robotic arms or grippers to classify and sort inspected finished workpieces. These devices, through precise programming control, can identify and grasp materials on the production line and classify them into different areas according to preset standards.
[0003] While this method meets basic operational needs to some extent, it has also revealed some significant drawbacks in practical applications. The entire process of a robotic arm or gripper picking up a workpiece and placing it in the designated location involves multiple steps, such as positioning, gripping, moving, and releasing. Each step requires a certain amount of time to complete, and especially under high-precision operation requirements, the time consumption of these steps increases significantly, thus seriously affecting the speed of the overall sorting process. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical problem this invention aims to solve is: to propose an automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine. This device rotatably arranges a material sorting component between a first and a second collection bin. The material sorting component has a first working position and a second working position, and is equipped with an independently lifting first part and a second part. A placement groove for supporting materials is formed between the first and second parts. The first working position is used to receive materials to be sorted. When the material sorting component rotates to the second working position, if the first part descends, the material falls into the first collection bin; if the second part descends, the material falls into the second collection bin. Through this structural design, automated classification of materials is achieved, improving sorting efficiency and accuracy.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is to propose an automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, comprising:
[0006] The first and second collection bins are set up relative to each other;
[0007] The material distribution component is rotatably disposed between the first collection bin and the second collection bin, and has a first part and a second part that are lifted and lowered. A placement groove is formed between the first part and the second part, and the placement groove is used to provide support for the material.
[0008] The material distribution component has a first working position and a second working position, wherein the first working position is used to receive the material.
[0009] When the material distribution component is in the second working position and the first part descends, it is used to allow the material to fall into the first collection bin; when the material distribution component is in the second working position and the second part descends, it is used to allow the material to fall into the second collection bin.
[0010] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, a first driving member is also included. The material sorting component is connected to the output end of the first driving member, and the first driving member is used to drive the material sorting component to rotate.
[0011] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, the output end of the first drive member is provided with a rotating seat, and the material sorting member is disposed on the rotating seat.
[0012] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, a second driving member is also provided on the rotating seat, and a first pushing block is provided at the output end of the second driving member. The first part is connected to the first pushing block, and the second driving member drives the first part to rise and fall through the first pushing block.
[0013] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, a third driving member is also provided on the rotating seat. The third driving member and the second driving member are arranged side by side. The output end of the third driving member is also provided with a second pushing block. The second part is connected to the second pushing block. The third driving member drives the second part to rise and fall through the second pushing block.
[0014] In the above-described automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, the first part has a first support section connected to the first push block and a first inclined section extending upward at an angle.
[0015] In the above-described automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, the second part has a second support section connected to the second push block, and a second inclined section extending upward at an incline. The second inclined section and the first inclined section are arranged in a V-shape to intersect and form the placement groove.
[0016] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, the first collection bin has a first inclined surface and a first bottom surface. The first inclined surface is located below one side of the material separating component and is used to guide the material into the first collection bin.
[0017] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, the second collection bin has a second inclined surface and a second bottom surface. The second inclined surface is located below the other side of the material distribution component and is used to guide the material into the second collection bin.
[0018] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, a hollow section is provided between the first collection bin and the second collection bin. The first push block and the second push block are located below the hollow section. One end of the first part and one end of the second part pass through the hollow section and are respectively connected to the first push block and the second push block.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] (1) A material sorting component is rotatably set between the first collection bin and the second collection bin. The material sorting component has a first working position and a second working position, and is provided with a first part and a second part that can be lifted and lowered independently. The first working position is used to receive the material to be sorted. When the material sorting component rotates to the second working position, if the first part is lowered, the material falls into the first collection bin. If the second part is lowered, the material falls into the second collection bin. Through the above structural design, the automatic classification of materials is realized, which significantly improves the sorting efficiency and accuracy.
[0021] (2) The first inclined section in the first part and the second inclined section in the second part are arranged in a V-shape to form a stable placement trough structure, which not only has a good material holding capacity, but also effectively prevents the material from slipping during rotation; when the first part or the second part descends, the relative displacement between the first inclined section and the second inclined section causes the placement trough to open partially, and the material can fall smoothly into the corresponding first collection bin or second collection bin; this not only improves the stability of material carrying, but also realizes the rapid response and precise control of sorting action.
[0022] (3) The second drive unit controls the lifting action of the first part through the first push block, and the third drive unit controls the lifting action of the second part through the second push block; the second drive unit and the third drive unit can be controlled independently and do not interfere with each other, thereby achieving the effect of short power transmission path and fast response speed, and effectively avoiding the error accumulation problem common in traditional linkage structure.

[0028] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0029] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this solution includes an automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, used to sort materials that have completed inspection in the automatic inspection machine.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, this solution provides an automatic sorting device for an automatic inspection machine, comprising: a first collection bin 1 and a second collection bin 2 arranged opposite to each other; a material separating component 3, which is rotatably disposed between the first collection bin 1 and the second collection bin 2, and has a first part 4 and a second part 5 that are raised and lowered, with a placement groove 6 formed between the first part 4 and the second part 5, the placement groove 6 being used to provide support for materials; the material separating component 3 has a first working position and a second working position, the first working position being used to receive materials; when the material separating component 3 is in the second working position and the first part 4 is lowered, it is used to allow materials to fall into the first collection bin 1; when the material separating component 3 is in the second working position and the second part 5 is lowered, it is used to allow materials to fall into the second collection bin 2.
[0032] During operation, the material is placed in the placement slot 6 of the material distribution component 3 in the first working position. Subsequently, the material distribution component 3 rotates the material in the placement slot 6 to the second working position. At this time, the first part 4 of the material distribution component 3 is located at the position corresponding to the first collection bin 1, and the second part 5 is located at the position corresponding to the second collection bin 2. If only the first part 4 descends, the material slides from the placement slot 6 into the first collection bin 1; if only the second part 5 descends, the material slides from the placement slot 6 into the second collection bin 2. According to preset conditions, when the material distribution component 3 is in the second working position, the first part 4 or the second part 5 can be selectively descended to allow the material to fall into the corresponding first collection bin 1 or second collection bin 2, thereby achieving automated classification of materials. Without the need for additional complex gripping or handling devices, efficient sorting and conveying of materials can be completed. Compared with the traditional sorting method that relies on multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arms or clamping structures, this solution eliminates the operation steps of material gripping, moving and releasing, effectively shortening the processing cycle of a single material and improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.
[0033] In order to drive the material sorting component 3 to rotate, the automatic sorting device in this solution also includes a first driving component 7. The material sorting component 3 is connected to the output end of the first driving component 7. The first driving component 7 is used to drive the material sorting component 3 to rotate. The first driving component 7 is preferably a rotary motor.
[0034] Preferably, the output end of the first driving component 7 is provided with a rotating seat 8, and the material distribution component 3 is disposed on the rotating seat 8. When the first driving component 7 is started, the rotating seat 8 drives the material distribution component 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the switching between the first working position and the second working position.
[0035] Through the coordinated operation of the first driving component 7 and the rotating seat 8, the rotation of the material sorting component 3 can be precisely controlled, thereby ensuring that the material is received and sorted at the set position. With the precise drive of the first driving component 7, the material sorting component 3 can stably switch between the first working position and the second working position, effectively improving the positioning accuracy and response speed of material sorting.
[0036] In order to drive the first part 4 to rise and fall, a second driving component 9 is also provided on the rotating base 8. The output end of the second driving component 9 is provided with a first push block 10. The first part 4 is connected to the first push block 10. The second driving component 9 drives the first part 4 to rise and fall through the first push block 10. The second driving component 9 can be a motor, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.
[0037] Similarly, in order to realize the lifting operation of the second part 5, the rotating seat 8 is also provided with a third driving member 11. The third driving member 11 is arranged in parallel with the second driving member 9. The output end of the third driving member 11 is connected to the second push block 12. The second part 5 is connected to the second push block 12. The third driving member 11 drives the second part 5 to perform lifting and lowering movements through the second push block 12. The third driving member 11 can be a motor, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.
[0038] When the material is transported to the sorting component 3 in the first working position, the first drive component 7 first drives the sorting component 3 and the material on it to rotate at a certain angle through the rotating seat 8, so that the sorting component 3 switches from the first working position to the second working position. At this time, the first part 4 on the sorting component 3 is located at the position corresponding to the first collection bin 1, and the second part 5 is located at the position corresponding to the second collection bin 2. Subsequently, according to the preset sorting conditions, if it is necessary to send the material into the first collection bin 1, the second drive component 9 drives the first part 4 to descend through the first push block 10, and the material falls from the placement slot 6 into the first collection bin corresponding to the first part 4. In step 1, if materials need to be fed into the second collection bin 2, the third drive component 11 drives the second part 5 to descend via the second push block 12, and the materials fall from the placement slot 6 into the second collection bin 2 corresponding to the second part 5. By configuring independent second drive components 9 and third drive components 11 for the first part 4 and the second part 5 respectively, independent lifting control between the two is realized, which significantly improves the flexibility and positioning accuracy of the sorting action. Since the second drive component 9 and the third drive component 11 directly act on the corresponding components, the power transmission path is short and the response speed is fast, effectively avoiding the error accumulation problem common in traditional linkage structures.
[0039] More preferably, the first part 4 has a first support section 13 connected to the first push block 10, and a first inclined section 14 extending obliquely upward.
[0040] More preferably, the second part 5 has a second support section 15 connected to the second push block 12, and a second inclined section 16 extending upward at an incline. The second inclined section 16 and the first inclined section 14 are arranged in a V-shape and together form a placement trough 6 for carrying materials.
[0041] The integrated design of the first support section 13 and the first inclined section 14, and the second support section 15 and the second inclined section 16 simplifies the overall structure of the material sorting component 3, reduces processing difficulty and manufacturing cost. The first inclined section 14 and the second inclined section 16 are arranged in a V-shape to form the placement trough 6, giving the placement trough 6 good material holding capacity and effectively preventing materials from slipping during rotation. When the first part 4 or the second part 5 descends, a relative displacement occurs between the first inclined section 14 and the second inclined section 16, causing the placement trough 6 to partially open, allowing the materials to fall smoothly into the corresponding first collection bin 1 or second collection bin 2. Since the first inclined section 14 and the second inclined section 16 are controlled by independent drive mechanisms, the first part 4 or the second part 5 can be flexibly and selectively descended according to preset sorting conditions, thereby achieving accurate classification of materials. In addition, the angle and length of the first inclined section 14 and the second inclined section 16 can be adjusted according to actual needs, making it suitable for sorting materials of various sizes or shapes, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.
[0042] More preferably, the first collection bin 1 includes a first inclined surface 17 and a first bottom surface 18, and the second collection bin 2 includes a second inclined surface 19 and a second bottom surface 20; wherein, the first inclined surface 17 is disposed below one side of the material distribution component 3, and is used to guide the material released from the material distribution component 3 to smoothly slide into the first bottom surface 18 in the first collection bin 1; the second inclined surface 19 is disposed below the other side of the material distribution component 3, and ensures that the material reliably falls into the second bottom surface 20 in the second collection bin 2.
[0043] The first inclined plane 17 and the second inclined plane 19 not only improve the efficiency of material entering the first collection bin 1 and the second collection bin 2, but also effectively prevent material from scattering or getting stuck during the transfer process. With the help of a reasonable inclined plane angle design, the material can slide smoothly into the corresponding first collection bin 1 or second collection bin 2 under the action of gravity, significantly reducing the risk of material accumulation or retention. In addition, the angles of the first inclined plane 17 and the second inclined plane 19 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual material characteristics and equipment layout, thereby enhancing the adaptability and versatility of the system.
[0044] More preferably, a hollow section 21 is provided between the first collection chamber 1 and the second collection chamber 2. The first pushing block 10 and the second pushing block 12 are located below the hollow section 21. One end of the first part 4 and one end of the second part 5 pass through the hollow section 21 and are connected to the first pushing block 10 and the second pushing block 12 respectively. The design of the hollow section 21 provides sufficient rotation space for the material distribution component 3, ensuring that it can rotate freely between the first collection chamber 1 and the second collection chamber 2. In addition, this design also optimizes the overall layout of the equipment, improves the integration of the equipment, makes the structure more compact and lightweight, and effectively avoids interference between the material distribution component 3 and other mechanical parts.
