Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting technology, and in particular to an intelligent material sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern intelligent gift box sorting equipment, accurate gift box identification and positioning are the core links to achieve efficient sorting. 3D vision sensors have been widely used in the field of gift box sorting due to their unique advantage of being able to acquire three-dimensional spatial information of gift boxes. They can accurately measure parameters such as the shape, size, and position of gift boxes, providing accurate data support for subsequent sorting operations and greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of sorting.
[0003] Existing intelligent gift box sorting devices use 3D vision sensors installed at specific locations within the sorting unit. These sensors then construct a three-dimensional model by emitting and receiving laser or infrared signals, accurately measuring the length, width, and height to determine if the dimensions conform to standard specifications. However, when 3D vision sensors malfunction and require repair or replacement, or when the sensor positions need to be rearranged due to sorting process adjustments, maintenance personnel often need to use specialized tools and spend considerable time and effort removing the fixed components. This not only increases maintenance costs but may also damage the sensors or sorting unit due to improper operation, leading to prolonged downtime, severely impacting production efficiency, and ultimately reducing the equipment's usability.

A push block groove 3 is provided on one outer wall of the fixed card seat 6. A push block 10 is slidably connected inside the push block groove 3. A second limiting block groove 17 is provided on the upper surface of the protrusion on the fixed card seat 6. A limiting block 18 is slidably connected inside the second limiting block groove 17. The interior of the push block groove 3 communicates with the interior of the second limiting block groove 17. Two T-shaped block grooves 11 are provided on the lower surface of the upper end of the support frame 5. The outer walls of the two T-shaped blocks on the mounting base 13 are slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding T-shaped block grooves 11.

The push block groove 3 is provided with a return spring 16 inside. The two ends of the return spring 16 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the corresponding push block groove 3 and the outer wall of one side of the push block 10, respectively. The outer wall of the fixed card seat 6 near the mounting base 13 contacts the outer wall of the mounting base 13. The push block groove 3 is provided with a rubber limiting block 7 inside. The two outer walls of the rubber limiting block 7 contact the inner wall of the push block groove 3 and the outer wall of one side of the push block 10, respectively.
[0033] The workbench 1 is equipped with a transport component 2 at its upper end. The lower outer wall of the support frame 5 is equipped with a cylinder 4. The output end of the cylinder 4 extends slidably to the outside of the lower end of the support frame 5. The lower end of the support frame 5 is installed on one side of the workbench 1.

This facilitates operation and improves the efficiency of gift box collection and processing. Then, when it is necessary to remove the 3D vision sensor 12, pull the handle on the rubber limit block 7 to remove it from the push block groove 3. Then push the push block 10 away from the mounting base 13. The push block 10 drives the limit block 18 to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 16 and slide in the second limit block groove 17. This makes the limit block 18 disengage from the inner wall of the first limit block groove 14. Then pull the fixing bracket 6 to remove it from the support frame 5. After the mounting base 13 limits it, pull it to remove the mounting base 13 and the 3D vision sensor 12 from the support frame 5.
[0035] The push block 10 in the limiting device drives the limiting block 18 to slide in the second limiting block groove 17, overcoming the elastic force of the reset spring 16. This causes the limiting block 18 to disengage from the inner wall of the first limiting block groove 14. Then, by pulling the fixing bracket 6, it can be removed from the support frame 5. After the mounting base 13 limits its position, pulling it can remove the mounting base 13 and the 3D vision sensor 12 from the 5. This method of disassembling the 3D vision sensor 12 is simple and quick, avoiding the need for workers to use professional tools to disassemble it, and effectively improving the maintenance and repair efficiency of the 3D vision sensor 12.
