Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding mechanism technology, and in particular to a visual inspection sorting and feeding module. Background Technology

[0002] Soft ceramics are a type of incompletely sintered ceramic material. Although their hardness and strength are lower than traditional hard ceramics, they still retain a certain level of mechanical strength and durability. They are commonly used in building decoration, electronic component substrates, and flexible ceramic tiles, and are widely favored due to their lightweight, environmental friendliness, and ease of processing. Soft ceramic cutting refers to cutting soft ceramic materials into the required shapes and sizes according to design requirements. After cutting, the process largely relies on visual inspection and manual operation to classify the soft ceramics into qualified and unqualified products according to specific requirements. Then, qualified and unqualified products are transported to designated areas separately. This process is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to misclassification over long periods, making it difficult to ensure consistency and accuracy in sorting and unloading. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a visual inspection sorting and unloading module of this utility model includes a base 1, a detection component 2 disposed on the base 1, a sorting component 3 used in conjunction with the detection component 2, and a feeding component 4 movably disposed between the detection component 2 and the sorting component 3. The detection component 2 includes a movable base 21, a camera 22 disposed on the movable base 21, a first driving member 23 drivenly connected to the movable base 21, a stand 24 disposed below the camera 22, and a microchannel plate 25 disposed on the stand 24. The first driving member 23 drives the camera 22 to move relative to the microchannel plate 25 through the movable base 21.

[0031] During operation, the feeding assembly 4 moves the cut material to the position of the detection assembly 2. This material is soft ceramic. The first driving component 23 drives the camera 22 to move back and forth via the moving base 21, thereby adjusting the camera 22 to a suitable position so that it faces the microchannel plate 25. Preferably, the camera 22 is a CCD camera. In many optical imaging systems, CCD cameras and microchannel plates 25 are often used in combination. The microchannel plate 25 can serve as a replacement for photomultiplier tubes, amplifying the photoelectron signals from the photocathode, and then transmitting these photoelectron signals to the CCD camera for imaging. The advantage of this combination lies in the high gain and fast response capability of the microchannel plate 25. Leveraging the high resolution and low noise characteristics of the CCD camera, the microchannel plate 25 amplifies the electronic signal through the secondary electron multiplication effect, while the CCD camera converts the amplified electronic signal into a digital image. The combined use of these two components significantly improves the sensitivity and resolution of the imaging system, meeting diverse and complex imaging needs and better classifying materials into qualified and unqualified products. The material is then transferred to the sorting component 3 via the feeding component 4, which in turn moves the qualified and unqualified products to their respective designated areas. The entire process is automated, requiring no manual operation. The first drive component 23 utilizes a linear module, the specific shape, structure, and working principle of which will not be detailed here. This invention, through the automated and efficient coordination of the detection component 2, feeding component 4, and sorting component 3, reduces manual operation, effectively and accurately classifies qualified and unqualified products, and ensures consistency and accuracy in sorting and unloading.

[0032] The sorting component 3 in this embodiment includes a frame 31, a transfer member 32 movably disposed on the frame 31, a suction nozzle 33 disposed on the transfer member 32, a Z-axis module 34 for driving the transfer member 32 to move along the Z-axis direction of the frame 31, and a Y-axis module 35 for driving the Z-axis module 34 to move along the Y-axis direction of the frame 31. The transfer member 32 includes a connecting plate 321 and a support frame 322 disposed on the connecting plate 321. The connecting plate 321 and the support frame 322 are perpendicularly disposed. The output end of the Z-axis module 34 is drivenly connected to the connecting plate 321. The support frame 322 has an X-shaped structure. Specifically, the X-shaped support frame 322 has a simple structure. Preferably, four suction nozzles 33 are provided, which are respectively located at the four corners of the support frame 322. The Z-axis module 34 drives the suction nozzles 33 to move along the Z-axis direction of the frame 31 through the transfer component 32. The Y-axis module 35 drives the Z-axis module 34 to move along the Y-axis direction of the frame 31. Thus, the Z-axis module 34 and the Y-axis module 35 cooperate with each other to drive the transfer component 32 to move. This allows the connecting plate 321 to stably pick up materials through the suction nozzles 33 of the support frame 322 and move in four directions: up, down, forward, and backward. This facilitates the transfer of qualified and unqualified products to the corresponding areas. Both the Z-axis module 34 and the Y-axis module 35 are linear modules of the prior art. The specific shape, structure, and working principle of the linear module will not be described in detail here.

[0033] In this embodiment, an assembly block 323 is provided at the connection between the connecting plate 321 and the support frame 322. The assembly block 323 is trapezoidal, and a first connecting hole 324 and a second connecting hole 325 are respectively provided at both ends of the assembly block 323. The connecting plate 321 is provided with a first mounting hole 326 that communicates with the first connecting hole 324, and the support frame 322 is provided with a second mounting hole 327 that communicates with the second connecting hole 325. Specifically, the connecting plate 321 is perpendicular to the support frame 322, and the assembly block 323 is assembled and connected between the connecting plate 321 and the support frame 322. A screw is used to pass through the first connecting hole 324 and be fixed to the first mounting hole 326, thereby realizing the installation connection between the assembly block 323 and the connecting plate 321. Another screw is used to pass through the second connecting hole 325 and be fixed to the second mounting hole 327, thereby realizing the installation connection between the assembly block 323 and the support frame 322. The trapezoidal shape of the assembly block 323 can provide a larger contact area and a better fitting effect, making it easier to insert and install. This design can enhance the connection stability between the connecting plate 321 and the support frame 322, making the transfer component 32 less prone to displacement or breakage when facing external collisions or vibrations.

[0034] The movable base 21 of this embodiment includes a mounting block 211, a mounting cover 212 disposed on the mounting block 211, a first groove disposed on the mounting block 211, and a second groove 214 disposed on the mounting cover 212. The mounting cover 212 is closed and connected to the mounting block 211 so that the first groove and the second groove 214 surround each other to form a receiving cavity for accommodating the camera 22. Specifically, when the mounting cover 212 is closed and connected to the mounting block 211, the first groove and the second groove 214 surround each other to form a circular receiving cavity. The circular receiving cavity is fitted onto the outside of the camera 22, thereby enabling the camera 22 to be mounted on the movable base 21.

[0035] In this embodiment, the mounting block 211 has third mounting holes 215 on both sides, and the mounting cover 212 has third connecting holes 216 on both sides that communicate with the third mounting holes 215. Specifically, external screws are used to pass through the third connecting holes 216 and connect and fix them to the third mounting holes 215, thereby realizing the installation and removal operation between the mounting cover 212 and the mounting block 211, which is simple and convenient.

[0036] The feeding assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a feeding base 41, a second driving member 42 drivenly connected to the feeding base 41, a suction cup 43 disposed on the feeding base 41, and a limiting block 44 disposed on the outside of the feeding base 41. Specifically, the second driving member 42 drives the feeding base 41 to move back and forth between the detection assembly 2 and the sorting assembly 3. The feeding base 41 is connected to an external vacuum pump, so that the suction cup 43 disposed on the feeding base 41 forms a negative pressure state to stably suck up the material. The inner wall of the limiting block 44 blocks and abuts against the outer wall of the material, effectively limiting the position of the material on the feeding base 41, and the limiting effect is good. The second driving member 42 adopts the existing linear module. The specific shape, structure and working principle of the linear module will not be described in detail here.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
