Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying technology, specifically to a feeding and conveying mechanism for mechanical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Visual inspection is the use of machines to replace human eyes for measurement and judgment. It refers to the process of converting the captured target into an image signal through machine vision products and transmitting it to a dedicated image processing system. Based on pixel distribution and information such as brightness and color, the signal is converted into a digital signal. The image system performs various calculations on these signals to extract the target's features and then controls the on-site equipment based on the judgment results. It is a valuable mechanism for production, assembly, or packaging.

[0003] During product transportation, due to space constraints in the workshop, it is often necessary to change the direction of transportation, such as a 90° reversal. Normally, the conveyor lines are directly connected, but when directly switching, the orientation of the product relative to the transportation direction will change. For example, when reversing by 90°, before the conveyor line changes direction, the product is transverse relative to the transportation direction, but after the conveyor line changes direction, the product is longitudinal relative to the transportation direction. This makes it inconvenient for subsequent product inspection and packaging. Therefore, it is usually necessary to add more manpower to adjust the product orientation, which increases production costs.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a feeding and conveying mechanism for mechanical equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

When the product reaches the proximity switch 9, an action signal is sent. The carrier plate 6 rises to a certain height. The industrial camera 11 acquires and recognizes the image, causing the rotary cylinder 5 to rotate a certain angle to change the conveying direction of the product to maintain its original orientation. Then the carrier plate 6 descends and resets. The corner cylinder 7 drives the proximity switch 9 to rotate downwards by 90° to avoid the product, allowing it to enter the next conveying section for subsequent inspection and packaging.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower part of the frame 1 is provided with a support base 12, and the lifting cylinder 4 is fixed on the support base 12. The support base 12 is a support structure used for the installation and fixing of the lifting cylinder 4.

The carrier plate 6 rises to a certain height. The industrial camera 11 acquires and recognizes the image, causing the rotary cylinder 5 to rotate a certain angle to change the conveying direction of the product to maintain the original orientation of the product. Then the carrier plate 6 descends to reset.
