[0034] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-8As shown, a rear-end steering mechanism for a three-channel disordered feeder includes a frame assembly 1. The frame assembly 1 includes support feet 102 for support and a mounting frame 104 for fixing. Two symmetrically distributed side mounting brackets 105 are fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the mounting frame 104. A top mounting plate 106 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the mounting frame 104. A control console 6 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting frame 104. Side servo moving components 3 are mounted on the side mounting brackets 105 close to each other. The side servo moving components 3 include side support rods 301 for supporting sliding and... The suction cup 310 for gripping materials has two synchronous belts 302 on the upper side of the side support rod 301. A connecting rod 304 is fixedly connected to the upper side of each synchronous belt 302. Side power modules 303 are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting rod 304. A side connecting plate 314 is fixedly connected to the opposite end of the synchronous belts 302. A negative pressure gauge 306 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the side connecting plate 314. A limit plate 307 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the side support rod 301. Two sliding plates 308 are slidably connected to the rear side of the limit plate 307. A side mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of each sliding plate 308. 12. A side slide cylinder 313 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the side mounting plate 312. A support plate 309 is fixedly connected to the output end of the side slide cylinder 313. A servo motor 315 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the support plate 309. The output end of the servo motor 315 passes through the side slide cylinder 313 and is fixedly connected to a transmission module 311. The transmission module 311 is connected to a suction cup 310, which is disposed inside the support plate 309. A dust cover 305 is provided on the upper side of the transmission module 311. A central servo moving assembly 5 is installed on the lower side of the top fixing plate 106. The moving component 5 includes a central support rod 501 for support. Both ends of the central support rod 501 are fixedly connected to a central power module 502. A central connecting plate 504 is slidably connected to the lower side of the central support rod 501. A fixed shell 503 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the central connecting plate 504. Negative pressure gauges 306 are fixedly installed on one end of each of the two central connecting plates 504, which are close to each other. A central slide cylinder 505 is fixedly installed on the front side of the inner wall of the fixed shell 503. A support plate 309 is fixedly connected to the output end of the central slide cylinder 505. The support plate 309 is disposed inside the fixed shell 503.

[0036] Specifically, the lower frame assembly 1 provides support for the upper side servo movement assembly 3 and the middle servo movement assembly 5. The mounting frame 104 and the top fixing plate 106 secure the two side servo movement assemblies 3 and one middle servo movement assembly 5, maintaining their stable operation. Subsequently, the side support rod 301 and connecting rod 304 provide a foundation for the movement of the side connecting plate 314, limiting its direction and trajectory to prevent deviation. Simultaneously, the synchronous belt 302 between the side connecting plate 314 and the side support rod 301 moves with the side connecting plate 314, protecting the cables used and preventing cable breakage due to the movement of the side connecting plate 314, thus ensuring continuous operation of the equipment. Simultaneously, the sliding plate 308 on the side connecting plate 314 restricts the side mounting plate 312 to the limiting plate 307, providing a track for the movement of the sliding plate 308 and limiting its movement. Meanwhile, the side connecting plate 314, driven by the side power modules 303 at both ends and located inside the connecting rod 304, moves, thereby moving the side sliding plate 308 and support plate 309. This allows the suction cup 310 to follow the material's movement, facilitating material gripping. Subsequently, the side sliding cylinder 313 on the side mounting plate 312 drives the upper support plate 309 to move up and down, allowing the suction cup 310 to pick up the material. The material is then collected by a servo motor mounted on the lower side of the support plate 309. The machine 315 drives the transmission module 311 on the upper side of the support plate 309 to operate, and the transmission module 311 drives the suction cup 310 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the material and completing the orientation of the material. At the same time, the middle servo moving component 5 installed on the lower side of the top fixed plate 106 adopts a similar orientation method. The middle servo moving component 5 is connected to the lower side of the top fixed plate 106 by the middle support rod 501, and the middle support rod 501 restricts the lower fixed shell 503, causing it to move along the track on the middle support rod 501 on the lower side. This allows the suction cup 310 to follow the material, making it easier to grasp the material. At the same time, the middle power module 502 on both sides drives the fixed shell. The movement of 503 can then drive the side connecting plate 314 to move under the middle support rod 501, thereby driving the internal suction cup 310 and support plate 309 to move. Subsequently, the middle slide cylinder 505 inside the fixed shell 503 drives the support plate 309 to move up and down, which in turn drives the suction cup 310 to move up and down. Then, the operation of the servo motor 315 drives the suction cup 310 to rotate, thereby driving the suction cup 310 and the material to be aligned, so that the material can be processed simultaneously through three channels, thereby increasing the processing speed. The fixed shell 503 on the upper side of the support plate 309 protects it to extend its service life. The overall control of the equipment is achieved through the control console 6 installed on the upper end of the mounting frame 104.

[0037] Reference Figure 10 As shown, a support frame 101 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support foot 102, and multiple casters 103 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the support frame 101. A servo belt assembly 4 is installed on the upper side of the support frame 101.

[0038] Specifically, the support frame 101 is supported by multiple support feet 102. At the same time, the contact between the caster 103 and the ground can be controlled by adjusting the extension and retraction of the support feet 102, so that the equipment can be moved using the caster 103, thereby increasing the ease of use of the equipment and making it convenient to move the equipment.

[0039] Reference Figure 9 As shown, the servo belt assembly 4 includes a fixed bracket 403 for support. The bottom end of the fixed bracket 403 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support frame 101. A polyurethane belt 402 is provided on the upper side of the fixed bracket 403. A belt line servo power module 401 is provided on the left end of the polyurethane belt 402.

[0040] Specifically, the servo belt assembly 4 is connected to the upper side of the support frame 101 by the fixed bracket 403, and the polyurethane belt 402 is driven to rotate by the belt line servo power module 401 on the side, thereby conveying the material.

[0041] Reference Figures 2-4 As shown, a vision acquisition component 2 is provided on the upper side of the polyurethane belt 402. The vision acquisition component 2 includes a housing 201 for protection and shielding and a profile frame 202 for support. The bottom end of the profile frame 202 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed bracket 403. A horizontal frame 203 is fixedly connected to the side of the multiple profile frames 202 that are close to each other. A strip light 204 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the horizontal frame 203. An upper crossbeam 206 and a lower crossbeam 207 are fixedly connected to the side of the profile frames 202 that are close to each other. Multiple image acquisition cameras 205 are fixedly connected to the right side of the upper crossbeam 206. Multiple photoelectric sensors 208 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the lower crossbeam 207. Multiple housings 201 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the profile frame 202.

[0042] Specifically, the visual acquisition component 2 is supported by the fixed bracket 403, facilitating its identification and detection of materials and subsequent material repositioning. The outer shell 201, encasing the profile frame 202, protects the internal equipment and structure, while providing a more stable environment for the image acquisition camera 205 to capture images, facilitating subsequent image processing and recognition. The profile frame 202 fixes and supports the horizontal frame 203, allowing the strip light 204 below the horizontal frame 203 to provide more stable illumination and ensuring a consistent working environment for the image acquisition camera 205. Subsequently, the profile frame 202 fixes and supports the upper crossbeam 206, enabling the image acquisition camera 205 mounted on one side of the upper crossbeam 206 to operate stably and facilitate its image capture of materials. Simultaneously, the photoelectric sensor 208 mounted on the bottom crossbeam 207 identifies the material conveying, assisting in confirming the timing of the image acquisition camera 205's capture, ensuring that each material is captured, facilitating subsequent material repositioning.

[0043] Working principle: During use, the servo belt assembly 4 conveys the materials that need to be sorted and adjusted. At the same time, the photoelectric sensor 208 in the vision acquisition assembly 2 detects whether the materials have entered the interior of the vision acquisition assembly 2. The bar light 204 provides an environment for the use of the image acquisition camera 205, ensuring that the image acquisition camera 205 can take pictures without blurring due to environmental factors. At the same time, the image acquisition camera 205 is activated and takes pictures of the materials for recognition, ensuring that the materials are conveyed backward through the vision acquisition assembly 2. At the same time, the angle of rotation required by the materials is confirmed, which facilitates the subsequent rotation and adjustment of the materials.

[0044] As the servo belt assembly 4 conveys the material to be sorted, it is moved to the area below the side servo moving assembly 3 and the middle servo moving assembly 5. The side slide cylinder 313 and the middle slide cylinder 505 in the side servo moving assembly 3 and the middle servo moving assembly 5 drive the suction cup 310 to move downward. At the same time, the negative pressure gauge 306 on the upper side monitors the air pressure in real time. As the suction cup 310 on the lower side contacts the material, the gas is extracted, and the material is then adsorbed by the negative pressure. At the same time, the servo motor 315 installed on the lower side of the support plate 309 starts, driving the suction cup 310 to rotate at a specific angle, thereby reorienting the scattered material and conveying it neatly. Then the negative pressure at the upper end of the suction cup 310 is disconnected, the material falls and continues to be conveyed by the servo belt assembly 4, thus completing the reorientation of the material.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model.
