Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera connection technology, and in particular to a camera connection device for a color sorter. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, color sorters, as key material sorting equipment, are widely used in food processing, agricultural product screening, ore sorting, and many other fields. Color sorters utilize optical detection technology to perform high-speed, precise color identification and sorting of materials, effectively removing impurities and substandard products, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency. The camera, as the core data acquisition device of the color sorter, directly determines the sorting accuracy and reliability of the machine through its performance and stability.
[0003] The current camera connection methods on color sorters have many limitations. Traditional connection structures are usually fixed by bolts, which makes it inconvenient to adjust the camera angle and position, and it is difficult to adapt to the diverse needs of different material sorting scenarios. When it is necessary to change the camera shooting angle, it is often necessary to disassemble and reinstall the camera, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, and seriously affects production efficiency. To address this, we propose a camera connection device for color sorters. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a camera connection device for a color sorter.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A camera connection device for a color sorter includes a fixed cylinder, a camera body is provided at one end of the fixed cylinder, a connecting block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the camera body, a round block is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting block, and a connecting mechanism is provided on the fixed cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a mounting block fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder. The mounting block has a through hole and two symmetrically arranged through slots. A partition block located on the side of the mounting block away from the camera body is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder. Two sliding rods are fixedly connected between the partition block and the mounting block. A circular plate is provided between the partition block and the mounting block. Two symmetrically arranged sliding blocks are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the circular plate. Both sliding blocks have sliding grooves. The two sliding rods pass through the two sliding grooves respectively. A compression spring is fixedly connected between the two sliding blocks and the partition block.
[0008] Preferably, the circular block and the through hole are compatible.
[0009] Preferably, both of the through slots are connected to the through holes.
[0010] Preferably, two abutment blocks are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the circular block, and multiple abutment grooves are formed on the side wall of the mounting block near the partition block.
[0011] Preferably, the two abutments are adapted to the plurality of abutment grooves, and the size of the plurality of abutment grooves is the same as the size of the two through grooves.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] By setting up a connecting mechanism, the camera body and the color sorter can be connected and separated through the cooperation of the abutment and the slot or through slot. The operation is simple and convenient. At the same time, by cooperating with different slots, the orientation of the camera body can be changed, thereby meeting the usage needs in different situations. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Reference Figures 1-3 A camera connection device for a color sorter includes a fixed cylinder 1, a camera body 6 at one end of the fixed cylinder 1, the camera body 6 being a key component for collecting image information of materials during the operation of the color sorter, and acquiring characteristic data such as color and shape of materials through its shooting function, a connecting block 5 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the camera body 6, a round block 4 fixedly installed at one end of the connecting block 5, and a connecting mechanism provided on the fixed cylinder 1.
[0020] The connecting mechanism includes a mounting block 2 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 1. The mounting block 2 has a through hole 14 and two symmetrically arranged through slots 3. A partition block 15 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 1, located on the side of the mounting block 2 away from the camera body 6. Two sliding rods 11 are fixedly connected between the partition block 15 and the mounting block 2. A circular plate 12 is provided between the partition block 15 and the mounting block 2. Two symmetrically arranged sliding blocks 9 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the circular plate 12. Each sliding block 9 has a sliding groove 13, through which the two sliding rods 11 pass. A pressure spring 10 is fixedly connected between each sliding block 9 and the partition block 15, and the pressure spring 10 keeps the camera body 6 stable. After the body 6 is connected and installed, the compressed spring 10 allows the circular plate 12 to still abut against the mounting block 2. Both through slots 3 are connected to the through holes 14. Two abutments 8 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the circular block 4. Multiple abutments 7 are provided on the side wall of the mounting block 2 near the partition block 15. The multiple abutments 7 provide multiple possible fixed positions for the abutments 8, allowing the camera body 6 to adjust the shooting angle and be fixed in different positions as needed. The two abutments 8 are compatible with the multiple abutments 7. The size of the multiple abutments 7 is the same as the size of the two through slots 3, which proves that the abutments 8 can smoothly enter the abutments 7 from the through slots 3 during rotation, thus achieving the fixation and positioning of the camera body 6.
[0021] In use, the fixing cylinder 1 is fixed on the color sorter, so that the round block 4 and the through hole 14 cooperate with each other, and the two abutments 8 and the two through slots 3 cooperate with each other. Then, the two abutments 8 are made to abut against the round plate 12 and the round plate 12 is moved towards the partition block 15. By setting the sliding block 9, the sliding slot 13, and the sliding rod 11, the pressure spring 10 can be continuously compressed. Then, the camera body 6, the connecting block 5, the round block 4 and the abutment 8 are rotated at a suitable angle and the camera body 6 is gradually released. The elastic force generated by the compression of the pressure spring 10 makes the abutment 8 cooperate with the abutment slot 7, thus realizing the connection between the camera body 6 and the color sorter. By making the abutment 8 cooperate with different abutment slots 7, the camera body 6 can be oriented in different directions. When disassembling the camera body 6, the reverse operation is performed to make the abutment 8 cooperate with the through slot 3 again and the camera body 6 can be pulled out.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
