[0002] Bearing rollers are a crucial component of roller bearings, primarily supporting component rotation through rolling contact. Therefore, the quality of the bearing rollers plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the roller bearing. To improve the performance parameters and product quality of roller bearings, visual inspection is necessary during the manufacturing process to remove rollers with defects such as rust spots and scratches. During visual inspection, the bearing rollers are classified and graded based on the inspection results. Then, according to the grading results, the bearing rollers are either sorted and stored or diverted to different production stages. Utility Model Content

[0034] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention.

[0038] A preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown in the figure, a multi-stage discharge device for the appearance inspection of bearing rollers is described. The appearance inspection device is not fully shown in the figure. When performing the appearance inspection of bearing rollers, the bearing rollers are first gradually fed onto the conveyor belt 1 by the feeding device. A vision recognition module 2 and a discharge motor 3 are installed on the conveyor belt 1. When the conveyor belt 1 rotates, the bearing rollers will pass through the vision recognition module 2. The vision recognition module 2 identifies the surface defects of the bearing rollers through image recognition. After discovering surface defects such as rust and scratches, the defective bearing rollers are removed from the conveyor belt 1 by the discharge motor 3. The bearing rollers without surface defects that are not removed are collected at the collection component 5 at the end of the conveyor belt 1.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The multi-stage discharge device includes a conveyor belt 1, which is a chain conveyor belt 1 with a conveyor chain 11. Multiple rollers 12 are connected to the conveyor chain 11 at equal intervals along the direction of movement. When the bearing rollers are transported through the conveyor belt 1, they are located between two adjacent rollers 12.

[0040] The visual recognition module 2, located on the conveyor belt 1, is used to identify the outer surface of the bearing rollers. There are two visual recognition modules 2. A rotating gear is formed on the roller 12, and a rotating rack meshes with the rotating gear below the visual recognition module 2. This allows the roller 12 to rotate when passing through the visual recognition module 2 through the cooperation of the rotating gear and the rotating rack. The rotation of the roller 12 drives the bearing roller on the roller 12 to rotate. This makes it possible for the curved surfaces facing the visual recognition module 2 to be different when the bearing roller passes through the two visual recognition modules 2, which effectively improves the accuracy of visual recognition and avoids blind spots in visual recognition.

[0041] The unloading motor 3, located on one side of the conveyor belt 1, has an unloading shaft 31 that pushes the bearing rollers off the conveyor belt 1. The unloading motor 3 is signal-connected to the vision recognition module 2. When the vision recognition module 2 detects a surface defect on the bearing roller, it transmits a defect signal to the controller. The controller then controls the unloading motor 3 to start. When started, the unloading shaft 31 extends, pushing the bearing roller with the surface defect off the conveyor belt 1. The identification of the bearing roller surface defect and the control of the unloading motor 3's operation rely on existing vision recognition and motor control systems.

[0042] The unloading pipe 4 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 1 and is positioned opposite to the unloading motor 3; the center of the end of the unloading pipe 4 facing the conveyor belt 1 is on the same horizontal line as the center of the unloading shaft 31.

[0043] The collecting component 5, located at the end of the conveyor belt 1, is used to collect bearing rollers that have not been pushed off by the unloading motor 3. This invention, by utilizing the control of the unloading motor 3 and the vision recognition module 2, can quickly push bearing rollers with surface defects off the conveyor belt 1, and collect bearing rollers with good appearance through the collecting component 5. This completes the sorting of bearing rollers after surface identification, which is beneficial for subsequent assembly production processes and improves product quality.

[0044] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3The unloading pipe 4 has an inlet end 41 and an outlet end 42, with the diameter decreasing from the inlet end 41 to the outlet end 42. The size of the unloading pipe 4 facilitates the collection of bearing rollers pushed out by the unloading motor 3, preventing bearing rollers from flying out and failing to fall into the unloading pipe 4 due to the unloading motor 3 operating too early or too late. Furthermore, the bottom of the inlet end 41 has a receiving platform 43, which extends close to the conveyor belt 1, and its height is lower than the working surface of the conveyor belt 1. The receiving platform 43 is designed to provide guidance in cases where the unloading motor 3's thrust is insufficient to enter the unloading pipe 4, further ensuring that bearing rollers with surface defects can enter the unloading pipe 4 from the conveyor belt 1 under the push of the unloading motor 3.

[0045] A preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The receiving assembly 5 includes a guide plate 51 connected to the end of the conveyor belt 1 and a storage bin 52 located at the end of the guide plate 51. The guide plate 51 extends from the conveyor belt 1 to the storage bin 52 at a certain slope, which is between 30° and 45°, thereby extending the movement time of the bearing rollers on the guide plate 51. To prevent damage to the bearing rollers in good condition during transportation, a buffer layer is provided on the guide plate 51, and a protective layer is provided on the inner surface of the storage bin 52. The buffer layer can be made of materials such as sponge, silicone, or rubber. On the one hand, these materials have a certain degree of flexibility, avoiding rigid contact between the bearing rollers and the guide plate 51; on the other hand, these materials have high friction, which allows the bearing rollers to slowly roll into the storage bin 52, avoiding surface damage caused by the free fall of the bearing rollers under gravity.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal plane containing the axis of the ejector shaft 31 coincides with the horizontal plane containing the axis of the bearing roller. This allows the ejector shaft 31 to push the center of the bearing roller during movement, preventing the bearing roller from flying off tangentially due to uneven thrust. Furthermore, referring to... Figure 5 The highest point of the roller 12 is located at a horizontal plane lower than the horizontal plane of the bearing roller axis. The end of the ejector shaft 31 is connected to an ejector head 32, the width of which gradually increases from bottom to top. The ejector head 32 is designed to avoid collision with the roller 12 on the conveyor belt 1, preventing the ejector head 32 from directly colliding with the conveyor belt 1 under the drive of the ejector shaft 31, thus providing overall safety and operational stability of the equipment.

[0047] A preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 4It also includes a motor connecting seat 33, which includes a base 331 connected to one side of the conveyor belt 1 and an adjusting seat 332 connected to the unloading motor 3. The adjusting seat 332 has an adjusting slide rail 334 extending along the height direction of the conveyor belt 1, and the base 331 has an adjusting slider 333 that cooperates with the adjusting slide rail 334. The height of the unloading shaft 31 can be adjusted by adjusting the slider 333 and the adjusting slide rail 334, thereby adapting to bearing rollers of different diameters, so that the unloading motor 3 can always keep the unloading shaft 31 and the bearing roller on the same horizontal line when working.

[0048] Furthermore, the ejector shaft 31 has a laser emitter 335. The light source of the laser emitter 335 coincides with the central axis of the ejector shaft 31. By using the laser emitter 335 to emit laser light, the height of the ejector motor 3 can be easily adjusted, thereby improving the accuracy of the height adjustment of the ejector motor 3.
