Detailed Implementation
[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a heat shrink tubing cutting device with visual detection, including two heat shrink tubing conveyor belts 3 for moving heat shrink tubing, a grooved track 4 between the two heat shrink tubing conveyor belts 3, an inclined fixing seat 12 integrally provided on the side of the grooved track 4, and a visual detector 8 fixedly connected to the side of the inclined fixing seat 12 away from the grooved track 4.
[0027] The visual detector 8 includes an L-shaped bracket 81 that fits against the side of the inclined mounting base 12. An industrial camera 84 is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped bracket 81 away from the inclined mounting base 12. Hollow filter boxes 85 are fixedly connected to both sides of the industrial camera 84 and are fixedly connected to the inclined mounting base 12.
[0028] In this embodiment, each hollow filter box 85 is fixedly connected to a fan collection hood 86 at its end, and an air intake fan is fixedly connected between the hollow filter box 85 and the fan collection hood 86. The fan collection hood 86 is provided with a smoke extraction pipe 10 at the end away from the hollow filter box 85.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, hollow filter boxes 85 are also provided on both sides of the industrial camera 84. The suction fan between the fan hood 86 and the hollow filter box 85 can absorb the smoke generated during cutting. The smoke generated during cutting enters the hollow filter box 85 with the external airflow, which can prevent the smoke from affecting the detection accuracy of the industrial camera 84.
[0030] Furthermore, the L-shaped bracket 81 has limit grooves 82 on both sides, and each limit groove 82 is provided with a threaded locking knob 83, the end of which passes through the limit groove 82 and is threadedly connected to the inclined fixing seat 12.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, loosening the threaded locking knob 83 and adjusting the position of the L-shaped bracket 81 on the side of the inclined fixing seat 12, the distance between the end of the L-shaped bracket 81 and the cutting position can be adjusted. Furthermore, the industrial camera 84 at the end of the L-shaped bracket 81 can perform real-time detection on the end of the heat shrink tube after cutting and can also detect the entire cutting process, thereby improving the detection accuracy.
[0032] Furthermore, a transmission screw 5 is movably connected in the grooved track 4, and the end of the transmission screw 5 passes through the grooved track 4 and is connected to a motor for transmission. The motor is fixedly connected to the end of the grooved track 4, and a threaded hole slider 6 is movably connected to the side of the grooved track 4 away from the inclined fixed seat 12.
[0033] More specifically, the threaded hole slider 6 is slidably engaged with the grooved track 4 on the side near the grooved track 4, and the transmission screw 5 in the grooved track 4 passes through the threaded hole slider 6 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole slider 6.
[0034] Furthermore, a laser cutter 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded hole slider 6. The other end of the laser cutter 7 passes through the threaded hole slider 6 and is connected to a laser wire 9. The other end of the laser wire 9 passes through a positioning ring 11 fixed above the groove track 4.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor at the end of the groove track 4 drives the transmission screw 5 to rotate. Through the threaded engagement between the transmission screw 5 and the threaded hole slider 6, the threaded hole slider 6 drives the laser cutter 7 to move back and forth above the two heat shrink tube conveyor belts 3 to perform reciprocating cuts on the heat shrink tube. Moreover, one reciprocating motion can cut both sides of the heat shrink tube, thereby improving the cutting efficiency.
[0036] Furthermore, the bottom of the heat shrink tubing conveyor belt 3 is provided with a worktable 2, both ends of the groove track 4 are fixedly connected with triangular brackets, and the bottom of the triangular brackets is fixedly connected to the worktable 2, while the bottom of the worktable 2 is provided with a frame base 1.
[0037] Furthermore, a laser generator is fixedly connected to the frame base 1, and the end of the laser wire 9 is fixedly connected to the laser generator. The laser generated by the laser generator is transmitted through the laser wire 9. The optical fiber has good flexibility and low loss characteristics, which can efficiently transmit the laser to the laser cutter 7.
[0038] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame base 1 is fixedly connected with casters in a rectangular array, which facilitates the movement of the frame base 1. At the same time, each caster has a threaded push rod on its side, which fixes the position of the frame base 1.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the heat shrink tubing is first placed on the heat shrink tubing conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 carries the heat shrink tubing past the laser cutter 7. When the heat shrink tubing reaches the cutting position, the motor at the end of the grooved track 4 drives the transmission screw 5 to rotate. Through the threaded engagement between the transmission screw 5 and the threaded hole slider 6, the threaded hole slider 6 drives the laser cutter 7 to reciprocate. Each reciprocation can cut both sides of the heat shrink tubing, thereby improving the cutting efficiency. Furthermore, loosening the threaded locking knob 83 and adjusting the L-shaped bracket 81... The tilted mounting base 12 allows adjustment of the distance between the industrial camera 84 and the heat shrink tubing cutting position. The industrial camera 84 enables real-time monitoring of the cutting process and the finished heat shrink tubing end, improving detection efficiency. During this process, the suction fan between the hollow filter box 85 and the fan hood 86 draws in external airflow. Smoke generated during the laser cutter 7's cutting of the heat shrink tubing follows the airflow from the end into the hollow filter box 85, and then exits through the fan hood 86 and the smoke extraction pipe 10, preventing the smoke from affecting the detection accuracy of the industrial camera 84. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0040] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
