[0004] In existing technologies, traditional sorting methods mainly rely on manual vision for operation. However, this method has the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1. Manual sorting is inefficient. During long working hours, workers are prone to visual fatigue, which greatly reduces the accuracy of sorting and makes it difficult to accurately sort fasteners.

[0006] Second, manual sorting requires a large investment of manpower and is labor-intensive, resulting in high production costs for enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fastener sorting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fastener sorting device, comprising:

[0009] The main conveyor belt, and the mounting bracket installed on one side of its top;

[0010] The sorting mechanism is located inside the mounting frame and on one side of the main conveyor belt for sorting fasteners. It includes two hydraulic rods that are installed through the top of the mounting frame on both sides. The telescopic ends of the two hydraulic rods are fixedly mounted with movable plates. An industrial recognition camera for automated identification of fasteners is provided at the bottom of the movable plates.

[0011] Several sorting conveyor belts are installed on one side of the main conveyor belt. A pushing unit is installed on one side of the top of the main conveyor belt to push fasteners of different models. A first storage box for receiving fasteners is installed at the bottom of the sorting conveyor belt on the side away from the main conveyor belt.

[0012] Preferably, the pushing unit includes several mounting plates fixedly installed on one side of the top of the main conveyor belt, and a disassembly plate is provided on one side of the mounting plate. An electric push rod is installed through the surface of the disassembly plate, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod passes through the mounting plate and extends to the other side of the mounting plate. A push plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod.

[0013] Preferably, the number of pushing units is the same as the number of sorting conveyor belts, and the number of sorting conveyor belts and pushing units is set according to the required number of sorting fasteners of different models.

[0014] Preferably, vertical plates are slidably installed on both sides inside the mounting frame, and the tops of the two vertical plates are fixedly connected to the two sides of the bottom of the movable plate. A screw is rotatably installed at the bottom between the two vertical plates, and a mounting block is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw. The industrial recognition camera is installed through the surface of the mounting block.

[0015] One end of the screw passes through the vertical plate and the mounting bracket in sequence and extends to one side of the mounting bracket. A servo motor is provided on one side of the mounting bracket, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the end of the screw located outside the mounting bracket.

[0016] Preferably, a strip-shaped hole is provided on one side of the mounting bracket, and one end of the screw passes through the strip-shaped hole and is slidably connected to the strip-shaped hole.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. In the sorting of fasteners, this utility model utilizes a main conveyor belt to transport the fasteners through the bottom of the mounting frame. During the transport process, an industrial identification camera installed inside the mounting frame automatically identifies the fastener model and transmits the identification signal to an external processor. The external processor then activates the corresponding electric push rod based on the fastener model, driving a push plate to push the fastener to the top of the corresponding sorting conveyor belt. The sorting conveyor belt then transports the fastener to the inside of the first storage box for temporary storage. This allows for automated sorting of fasteners of different models, avoiding the situation where worker visual fatigue affects the sorting accuracy.

[0021] 2. When the industrial recognition camera performs visual recognition on fasteners, the servo motor drives the screw to rotate, and the screw, through its threaded connection with the mounting block, moves the mounting block laterally. This allows the industrial recognition camera to move and identify fasteners in different positions. Simultaneously, the hydraulic rod lowers the movable plate, and the fixed connection between the movable plate and the vertical plate lowers the mounting block and the industrial recognition camera. This ensures that the industrial recognition camera can accurately identify the fasteners, thus preventing the fasteners from shifting during transport and affecting recognition accuracy and fastener classification.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fastener sorting device, comprising:

[0029] The main conveyor belt 1, and the mounting bracket 2 installed on one side of its top;

[0030] The sorting mechanism 3 is located inside the mounting frame 2 and on one side of the main conveyor belt 1 for sorting fasteners. It includes two hydraulic rods 31 that are installed through the top two sides of the mounting frame 2. The telescopic ends of the two hydraulic rods 31 are fixedly installed with movable plates 32. An industrial recognition camera 33 for automatic identification of fasteners is provided at the bottom of the movable plate 32.

[0031] Several sorting conveyor belts 34 are installed on one side of the main conveyor belt 1. A pushing unit 35 is installed on one side of the top of the main conveyor belt 1 to push fasteners of different models. A first storage box 36 for receiving is installed at the bottom of the sorting conveyor belt 34 on the side away from the main conveyor belt 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the pushing unit 35 includes several mounting plates 351 fixedly installed on one side of the top of the main conveyor belt 1, and a disassembly plate 352 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 351. An electric push rod 353 is installed through the surface of the disassembly plate 352, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 353 passes through the mounting plate 351 and extends to the other side of the mounting plate 351. A push plate 354 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod 353. The number of pushing units 35 is the same as the number of sorting conveyor belts 34, and the number of sorting conveyor belts 34 and pushing units 35 is set according to the required sorting fastener model and quantity.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fasteners are transported through the bottom of the mounting frame 2 using the main conveyor belt 1. During the transport process, the fastener model is automatically identified by the industrial identification camera 33 installed inside the mounting frame 2, and the identification signal is transmitted to the external processor. The external processor then activates the corresponding electric push rod 353 according to the fastener model, which drives the push plate 354 to push the fastener to the top of the corresponding sorting conveyor belt 34. The sorting conveyor belt 34 then transports the fastener to the inside of the first storage box 36 for temporary storage. This allows for automated sorting of fasteners of different models, avoiding the situation where workers experience visual fatigue, which affects the sorting accuracy.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, vertical plates 37 are slidably mounted on both sides inside the mounting frame 2, and the tops of the two vertical plates 37 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the bottom of the movable plate 32. A screw 38 is rotatably mounted on the bottom between the two vertical plates 37, and a mounting block 39 is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 38. An industrial recognition camera 33 is mounted through the surface of the mounting block 39. One end of the screw 38 passes through the vertical plate 37 and the mounting frame 2 and extends to one side of the mounting frame 2. A servo motor 301 is provided on one side of the mounting frame 2, and the output end of the servo motor 301 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 38 located outside the mounting frame 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the industrial recognition camera 33 performs visual recognition on the fasteners, the servo motor 301 drives the screw 38 to rotate, and the screw 38 and the mounting block 39 are connected by a thread to move the mounting block 39 laterally, so as to move the industrial recognition camera 33 and recognize fasteners in different positions. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 31 can also drive the movable plate 32 to descend, and the fixed connection between the movable plate 32 and the vertical plate 37 drives the mounting block 39 and the industrial recognition camera 33 to descend, so that the industrial recognition camera 33 can accurately recognize the fasteners, thereby avoiding the situation where the fasteners are displaced during transportation, which affects the recognition accuracy and the classification of fasteners.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a strip-shaped hole 302 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 2, and one end of the screw 38 passes through the strip-shaped hole 302 and is slidably connected to the strip-shaped hole 302;

[0037] In this embodiment, when the hydraulic rod 31 drives the movable plate 32 to descend, it is convenient for the screw 38 to slide inside the strip hole 302, thus avoiding any obstruction to the screw 38.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 As shown, bolts 355 are installed through both sides of the surface of the mounting plate 352. One end of the bolt 355 passes through the mounting plate 351 and extends to one side of the mounting plate 351. Nuts 356 are threaded onto the surface of the bolt 355.

[0039] In this embodiment, the above-described structural design greatly facilitates the disassembly and installation of the electric push rod 353 by the staff. In this way, the staff can flexibly adjust the number of electric push rods 353 according to the number of fasteners to be sorted.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a fixed frame 303 is provided on one side of the main conveyor belt 1, and a mechanical gripper 304 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 303. A second storage box 305 is provided at the bottom of one side of the fixed frame 303.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the industrial identification camera 33 identifies a fastener with a quality problem, the external controller activates the mechanical gripper 304 to grab the fastener with the quality problem from the top of the main conveyor belt 1 and temporarily store it inside the second storage box 305 for later processing by the staff.

[0042] Working principle: The fasteners are conveyed through the bottom of the mounting frame 2 by the main conveyor belt 1. During the conveying process, the industrial identification camera 33 installed inside the mounting frame 2 automatically identifies the model of the fastener and transmits the identification signal to the external processor. The external processor then activates the corresponding electric push rod 353 according to the model of the fastener, which drives the push plate 354 to push the fastener to the top of the corresponding sorting conveyor belt 34. The sorting conveyor belt 34 then conveys the fastener into the first storage box 36 for temporary storage.

[0043] Furthermore, when the industrial recognition camera 33 performs visual recognition on the fasteners, the servo motor 301 drives the screw 38 to rotate, and the screw 38 and the mounting block 39 are connected by a thread to move the mounting block 39 laterally, so as to move the industrial recognition camera 33 and recognize fasteners in different positions. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 31 can also drive the movable plate 32 to descend, and the fixed connection between the movable plate 32 and the vertical plate 37 can drive the mounting block 39 and the industrial recognition camera 33 to descend, so that the industrial recognition camera 33 can accurately recognize the fasteners.
